Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"Oh." She looked away. "Class has started, aren't you going back?"

"Let's go now."

Shimada Sho walked out of the equipment room and closed the door behind him.

Hoshino Yuuki walked beside him, and the two of them walked along the corridor toward the teaching building.

“Brother,” she suddenly said.

"Ok?"

What exactly is your relationship with Yukine Kamishiro?

Shimada Sho paused for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"Ordinary classmate".

"Who are you kidding?" Hoshino Yuuki gave him a disdainful look. "Ordinary classmates wouldn't deliberately let go and fall into someone's arms."

"...That was an accident."

"An accident? She didn't even close her eyes when she let go; it was clearly intentional."

Shimada Sho smiled wryly, "You're quite observant."

“Of course, I’m your sister.” She paused, her tone tinged with a hint of arrogance. “I can’t let you be fooled by some strange woman.”

"Kamishiro-san is not a strange woman."

“That’s shameless,” Hoshino Yuuki snorted. “Anyway, stay away from her.”

"why?"

"No reason why." She quickened her pace and walked ahead without turning her head. "I'm going back to class first. Hurry up."

Her ponytail swung as she quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Shimada Sho shook his head as he watched her retreating figure.

Thinking to myself, did the young lady really fall down on purpose?

"Shimada-kun! Shimada-kun!"

Kenta Takada suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way in a flurry of activity.

"what happened?"

"Chizuru-chan! Is Chizuru-chan in your class?" Kenta Takada asked excitedly. "Could you please ask her for an autograph for me? Just one! Please!"

"...Why don't you just go and ask for it yourself?"

"I don't dare!" Kenta Takada said with a pained expression. "Chizuru-chan is so dazzling, I don't even dare to get close to her. Shimada-kun, you are the honorary president of our fan club, please help me out!"

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Shimada Sho said helplessly, "I don't dare either."

"No, Shimada-kun!" Kenta Takada immediately objected.

He said excitedly, "You're my classmate, right? Although you can't compare to Chizuru-chan, as long as I ask as a classmate, kind-hearted Chizuru-chan will definitely agree. Please ask her for me!"

Shimada Sho: "..."

What the heck is all this preconditions?

"Let me ask for you."

Faced with such a fervent fan, Shimada Sho had no choice but to agree.

"That's great! Thank you, Shimada-kun!" Kenta Takada was so excited he almost jumped up. "And also, could we invite Chizuru-chan to sit in our fan club's activity room? Just a seat, nothing much, we've prepared a support banner, Chizuru-chan's photobook, and..."

"Alright, alright," Shimada Sho interrupted him. "I'll ask for you, but whether she comes or not is her business."

"Of course, of course! We're just giving it a try. If you can't do it, Shimada-kun, we'll ask someone else to try."

Kenta Takada thanked him profusely again before running off, completely satisfied.

Looking at the retreating figure, Shimada Sho thought to himself, "Why does it feel like I'm just a backup option?"

Do you, my die-hard fans, think I have the lowest success rate?

Feeling utterly bored, Shimada Sho walked into the classroom.

Most of the students have returned and are sitting in twos and threes chatting.

Chizuru Amami sat in her seat in the second row, looking down at her textbook.

Her face was still a little red, but her expression had returned to normal, with a faint smile on her lips.

Haruko was talking to her from the side, and she would nod occasionally and respond sometimes, handling the situation with ease.

As Shimada Sho walked past her, she looked up at him.

It was just a quick glance, so fast that Haruko didn't even notice.

Only Shimada Sho, the person directly involved, noticed it.

Those beautiful eyes held a mixture of shyness and barely concealed pride and satisfaction.

Chapter 178 Shimada-kun loves idols the most!

The afternoon classes went by quickly.

Before long, it was time for school to end.

When the bell rang, the classroom buzzed with activity as students packed their bags. Some made plans to go to the convenience store, while others discussed their plans after school.

Shimada Sho closed his textbook and caught a glimpse of Yukine Kamishiro tidying up her desk.

She calmly put her textbook into her bag, then looked at the student in front of her and said, "Shimada-kun."

"Ok?"

"See you tomorrow."

"……See you tomorrow."

Upon receiving a response, Yukine Kamishiro nodded and turned to walk towards the classroom door.

Kiryu Ichiyo had been waiting in the corridor for some time, and when she came out, he silently followed behind her.

The two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Shimada Sho turned his gaze away and looked towards the second row.

Haruko was pulling on Chizuru Amami's arm and talking to her, her expression excited, as if she was inviting her to lunch together tomorrow.

Chizuru Amami responded with a smile, glancing occasionally in the direction of Sho Shimada.

By the time Haruko finally finished speaking and left, almost everyone in the classroom had left.

Tenkai Chizuru lowered her head and began slowly packing her schoolbag.

She took the textbook out, put it back in, and took it out again, her movements incredibly slow and sluggish.

Shimada Sho sighed and walked over to stand by her table.

"Tenkai, classmate."

Chizuru Amami's shoulders twitched, and she looked up in expectant response, "Shimada-kun."

"Are you free?" Shimada Sho asked directly.

She nodded immediately, "Yes!"

"Come with me."

Shimada Sho turned and walked out.

She heard rustling sounds behind her, and Tenkai Chizuru quickly packed her schoolbag and jogged to catch up.

There were still a few students in the corridor. Shimada Sho walked in front, and Amami Chizuru followed half a step behind him, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Occasionally, passing students would recognize Chizuru Amami and stop to take a second look, whispering things like, "It's Chizuru-chan" or "So pretty."

Chizuru Amami nodded slightly to everyone who looked at her, a polite smile on her lips.

When they reached the corner of the corridor and were no longer in the crowd, she leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Sir, where are we going?"

“There’s a support group at school,” Shimada Sho explained. “It was set up specifically for you, and they asked me to invite you over for a visit.”

Tenkai Chizuru was taken aback. "A fan club?"

"Yes, a group of your fans," Shimada Sho said calmly. "They prepared banners and autographed copies and wanted you to go and see them."

"Then... is the shop assistant going too?"

"...They invited you."

"But I want the shop assistant to come with me." Her voice carried a hint of coquetry.

Shimada Sho glanced at her.

Chizuru Amami was looking up at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Okay." He looked away and nodded in agreement.

I'll go take a look.

Tenkai Chizuru's eyes lit up, and a satisfied smile curved her lips.

The two walked along the corridor toward Class C.

Shimada Sho recalled Takada Kenta's fanatical expression earlier, and then looked at the girl beside him who was following obediently with her head down.

It's hard to imagine that she is the idol adored by millions.

It would be good if Chizuru showed up.

Kenta Takada and his group almost had their activity room taken over in their efforts to support her.

He saw their sincerity and sent his idol over to see them, which would also help him win over the audience.

Before leaving the classroom, Shimada Sho notified Takada Kenta via mobile phone.

When they arrived at the entrance of Class C, they saw that Kenta Takada and Yosuke Murakami were already waiting there.

The two men were still wearing the same t-shirts they had worn that morning to greet the guests, their faces serious, looking just like two soldiers waiting for inspection.

"Chi-Chizuru-chan!"

Upon seeing Shimada Sho and Amami Chizuru approach, Takada Kenta spoke up, but his voice trembled slightly, perhaps due to nervousness.

Chizuru Amami smiled and nodded. "Hello."

"Hello, hello, hello!" Yosuke Murakami's glasses almost slipped off his nose, and he hurriedly steadied them.

Looking at the two guys who were so excited they were incoherent, Shimada Sho said helplessly, "I've brought the person. You two take care of them yourselves."

"Thank you, President! Thank you, President!" Kenta Takada was so excited he almost knelt down.

Tenkai Chizuru blinked. "President?"

"Ah, that's how it is!" Yosuke Murakami quickly explained, "Shimada-kun is the honorary president of our Chizuru-chan fan club. He helped us get the activity room back and even invited you, Chizuru-chan, over. He's a super hero!"

Chizuru Amami turned to look at Sho Shimada, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Honorary President?" she asked softly, as if confirming something.

"Don't listen to their nonsense." Shimada Sho denied it expressionlessly. "They forced it on me."

"But Shimada-san agreed." Chizuru Amami's lips curled into a smile, a hint of undisguised smugness in her eyes. "So, this is what Shimada-san is like at school."

Shimada Sho opened his mouth to explain, but seeing the joy in her eyes, he finally shut up.

If it can't be explained clearly, let's just leave it at that.

Kenta Takada had already sent a message in the group chat, and the members of the fan club went wild when they learned that their idol was coming in person.

I heard the members are quickly tidying up the activity room.

"Chizuru-chan, this way please!" Kenta Takada led the way with a formal expression.

The group walked through the corridor, out of the teaching building, and headed towards the student club activity building.

Shimada Sho walked at the back of the group, with Amami Chizuru walking beside him, maintaining a subtle distance between them.

As he went upstairs, Shimada Sho realized that the route he was taking looked somewhat familiar.

They walked up to the top floor of the event building, from the third floor to the fourth and fifth floors.
