Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Upon seeing the message, Shimada Sho smiled.

It seems this woman isn't entirely a pampered rich girl.

Sending messages is a genuine attempt to win her back.

Perhaps the young lady wasn't very happy when she went to Yuki's house today?

If it's a tour of the rooms, is it Yuki showing her around her own home?

Shimada Sho didn't know exactly what had happened, so he didn't ask any further questions.

[Yuki: Or is Yukine angry because of Shimada-kun at school today...?]

Due to message display limitations, Shimada Sho was unable to see the subsequent content.

"Mr. Thug, how much time do you have left?"

The voice of Yukine Kamishiro also drew his attention back.

Shimada Sho glanced at the countdown on the connection screen; there were still more than ten minutes left.

But he understood what the young lady meant.

He probably wanted to personally reply to Yuki Ayase, but because he was still ill, it wasn't feasible for him to do so.

Furthermore, Yuki keeps saying things like that, and the young lady is probably quite helpless about it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll log off now."

Since the login task has already been completed, there's no need to stay here any longer.

“Okay.” Yukine Kamishiro had no objection.

Shimada Sho logged out on his own and said, "See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

[Log out of the character "Kamishiro Yukine"?]

"Yes."

In the moment his consciousness faded, he took one last look at his phone screen.

Yuki Ayase sent another message, but before he could read it, everything went dark.

……

【Ding! 】

This connection did not trigger any tasks, and no rewards will be awarded.

[A slight change in the character "Kamishiro Yukine's" mindset has been detected; character progression is updating...]

【Kamidai Yukiyin】

Age: 16

[Tags: Lack of common sense, Tokyo delinquent speedrunner, Allie Benli, copycat madman, Bloodhound, transfer student, stalemate]

Current progress: 60% (+3%)

[Connection Cooldown: 11 hours 59 minutes 03 seconds (Reset)]

Shimada Sho opened his eyes, and the ceiling of the rented room came into view. He looked at the "Stalemate" label on the system panel and sighed.

The stalemate continues.

She waited for him to admit it, and he waited for her to ask him.

That's fine, it's better than the awkward situation before.

Log in one more day tomorrow and the consecutive login task will be completed. There should be a reward then.

Shimada Sho turned off the control panel, leaned against the headboard, and was still thinking about the message he had seen when he logged in.

It's obvious that when the young lady decided to act, Yuki Ayase was the one cooperating.

But for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind and started reminding herself instead.

Why did Yuki tell him those things?

Another question is, why is Yuki Ayase so special to me?

Whether it was their previous contact at school or the various forms of intimacy they displayed after their relationship grew closer.

To be honest, they're all very abnormal.

When that woman looked at me, I always felt like there was something hidden in her eyes.

Shimada Sho rolled over, opened the system panel, and his gaze fell on the item in his inventory that he had never used before.

[Temporary Character Login Card: After use, you can select a temporary target and connect to their body. This status is the same as connecting to a regular character and can be considered as one login, but no tasks can be triggered and no progress will be counted. Time limit: 30 minutes.]

Shimada Sho was no longer going to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Instead of waiting for her to confess, it's better to take the initiative to find out.

With that in mind, Shimada Sho simply looked at the character list.

The two characters highlighted above are Yukine Kamishiro and Chizuru Amami.

There's another gray one, which is Hoshino Yuuki, who logged in once.

After progressing through the training of Chizuru Amami, a new slot was unlocked, allowing him to directly input Yuki Ayase.

But once you enter the data that way, it becomes an official character.

I haven't decided yet whether to bind it permanently, so Shimada Sho decided to use a temporary login card.

【Use "Temporary Character Login Card"?】

"Yes."

Please select the target you wish to log in to. If the target has not yet been entered into the system, please complete the entry first.

Without hesitation, Shimada Sho said directly, "Enter the character 'Ayase Yuki'."

[Entering new character...]

[Target: Yuki Ayase]

Age: 16

[Entry complete.]

[Current number of logged-in cards: 0]

[Do you want to log in as the character "Yuki Ayase"?]

"Yes."

Shimada Shoko made his choice.

He needs to log in and find out why Yuki Ayase became like this.

If possible, also find out the truth about her conspiracy with the young lady.

The moment consciousness faded, the familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over me.

……

When he opened his eyes again, Shimada Sho found himself sitting at a desk.

The room was small, with warm yellow light shining down from above.

A faint jasmine scent filled the air, just like the scent on Yuki Ayase.

He glanced down at his body: slender arms, fair fingers, and long hair falling over his shoulders. He had probably just taken a shower and was still half-wet.

She had changed into her home pajamas, a light pink long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of black shorts.

Observing all this, Shimada Sho raised his head.

He wanted to familiarize himself with his surroundings.

When he looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The wall in front of me was covered with photos.

And this is not something you would find in any normal high school girl's room.

The photos above all feature him!

Shimada Sho stood up from his chair and walked to the wall to look at it.

As I browsed through the images one by one, my mood grew increasingly strange.

The first picture I saw was of his profile in the school corridor.

Wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, he walked forward expressionlessly. The camera was taken from a distance on the side, as if it were taken secretly.

The second picture shows his back in the classroom, by the window, with sunlight streaming in and falling on his shoulders.

It was probably taken during class, because there was a textbook open in front of him.

Next to it is a photo of him in the club activity room, leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, looking lost in thought during after-school care.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

Shimada Sho gradually felt a chill run down his spine.

These photos include him in class, talking to classmates in the hallway, and running on the playground.

Many of them were taken when he was off-campus, including a side profile photo taken through the glass while he was working at a convenience store.

Upon seeing the next image, Shimada Sho frowned even more.

He is changing clothes in the locker room.

With his back to the camera, his school uniform shirt was only half off, revealing the muscle lines of his shoulders and back.

Looking at these photos, his feelings were extremely complicated.

If you look closely, you'll find that the time of each photo is the most recent.

Looking straight up, he arrived at the very beginning, when he had just transmigrated and was sitting outside his rented room, somewhat bewildered.

There are no photos from further back in time.

So it started from that time?

He had just transmigrated a few weeks ago, and this woman had noticed him ever since.

However, she remained completely calm throughout.

So much so that Shimada Sho didn't even notice her at that time.

Our paths crossed only later when we were joining clubs.

But in reality, she had been secretly taking pictures for a long time.

The sheer density of these photos goes beyond what can be described as mere infatuation.

He's a total perverted voyeur!

Even though Shimada Sho had anticipated Ayase Yuki's special situation.

I was deeply shocked at that moment.

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

At that moment, Ayase Yuki's cold voice rang in his mind: "Is this the possessing spirit that Yukine mentioned?"

This sentence brought Shimada Sho back to reality.

He glanced at the photos on the wall in front of him, then pondered Ayase Yuki's opening remarks.

Judging from her words, the young lady must have told her about being possessed.

But that's clearly all she knows.

Otherwise, if he knew that he was the one who logged into the young lady's body, he wouldn't have reacted this way.

Since he doesn't know, I have to pretend.

We must not reveal our identities, otherwise we will not be able to find out anything.

So, Shimada Sho curled his lip and asked in a disdainful tone, "A pervert taking photos?"
