Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"So what exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Spying Man?" Ayase Yuki's tone revealed a hint of impatience.

Shimada Sho had been talking incessantly since he came up, and she was clearly getting fed up with him.

Knowing this, he stopped talking nonsense. "I want to say... even if you don't answer, I know what that boy's name is."

"Not only is it damp and shady, but it also has problems with its sexual orientation?"

"Ok?"

"Only guys with weird sexual orientations would relentlessly try to find out about another guy."

"..."

Shimada Sho was completely defeated.

When this woman gets sarcastic, she really doesn't hold back at all.

He mentioned himself briefly, and she immediately labeled him as gay.

Helpless, he had to explain, "I don't need to ask, it's just that Yukine told me when she possessed Yukine."

"So what?" Ayase Yuki remained unconvinced.

"His name is Shimada Sho, right?"

"A lewd, voyeuristic man!" Ayase Yuki said with disgust.

Shimada Sho didn't seem to care at all and said casually, "It seems that the young lady and this boy have a pretty good relationship."

This time, she didn't respond immediately.

After a while, he coldly scoffed, "Are you worried that if those two get together, you won't have a chance, Mr. Gay?"

He has a new name.

"Shouldn't you be the one who's more worried?"

Shimada Sho ignored the offensive address and asked in a teasing tone, "If Yukine gets together with this guy, you, a woman who only knows how to be scheming in the shadows, will be the one who completely loses out, right?"

silence.

The voice in my mind quieted down.

Shimada Sho continued to provoke her, "You secretly plastered a whole wall with other people's photos, but you can't even be a mistress, tsk... how pathetic."

"Shut up!" Yuki Ayase suddenly spoke up, her tone unusually intense.

Her voice was filled with suppressed anger as she said indignantly, "What right does this guy who knows nothing have to point fingers here?"

Did I say something wrong?

"Of course!"

"Where is wrong?"

"She's the other woman!"

Under continuous questioning, Ayase Yuki's answer came out without hesitation.

He seemed to realize his slip of the tongue after he finished speaking and stopped talking.

But Shimada Sho had already opened his eyes wide.

The young lady is the third party.

So from her perspective, is she the first one?

But why?

Kamishiro Yukine was the first character he was bound to after transmigrating.

Prior to this, there were no memories related to Yuki Ayase.

If her interactions with me predate those with the young lady, when was it?

Unable to figure it out himself, Shimada Sho simply asked her, "Have you known this guy for a long time?"

Yuki Ayase did not answer.

"Earlier than Yukine?"

Still no answer.

But her silence itself is an answer.

Shimada Sho leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.

Just as I was about to ask more questions, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister, are you in there?"

Along with the knocking, a girl's sweet question came through.

Does Yuki Ayase have a younger sister?

Hearing the form of address from the other person, Shimada Sho was quite surprised.

He sat up in bed, ready to open the door.

But Ayase Yuki, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "Don't open the door!"

The voice was urgent.

Shimada Sho raised an eyebrow and walked straight to the door.

What are you going to do?

The voice in my mind was full of vigilance.

Shimada Sho reached out and grabbed the doorknob. "They've come to our door; it would be impolite not to open it."

"I told you not to open it!"

"Then tell me, what is your relationship with this boy on the wall?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

"Then I'm sorry." Shimada Sho gently turned the handle. "Anyway, you don't think I'm anything respectable, so you shouldn't mind if I annoy you a little, right?"

"you--"

Before she could finish speaking, Shimada Sho had already opened the door a crack.

He wanted to scare Yuki Ayase and see if he could frighten her out.

But to everyone's surprise, as soon as the door opened a crack, a petite figure squeezed in without any hindrance.

"Sister, I've called you several times, why aren't you answering me?"

The girl who entered was not tall. She was wearing a pink skirt, her hair was tied into two low ponytails, and she had an innocent smile on her face.

Her adorable appearance, coupled with the cleverness in her eyes, gives people a very friendly feeling.

She looked somewhat young, around thirteen or fourteen years old.

After entering, he looked at Shimada Sho with a puzzled expression.

Then, my gaze fell upon the wall behind him covered with photos.

Wow! Did you take all these photos, sister?

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran past Shimada Sho to the base of the wall, looking up to examine the photos.

"Who is your sister taking pictures of?"

Shimada Sho never expected her to barge in like that.

While she was still in a daze, the girl turned to look at him and said, "This boy is so handsome, is he my sister's boyfriend?"

"No." Realizing what was happening, Shimada Sho shook his head in denial.

"Is that someone you like?"

"Not at all."

"Then why take so many photos?" She tilted her head, looking completely innocent. "Sister, that's so strange. Covering an entire wall with pictures of boys, isn't that weird?"

Shimada Sho: "..."

This girl really doesn't mince words.

Not only was she straightforward, but there was also a hint of a smile on her lips.

There was little sincerity in that smile; instead, it carried a condescending, scrutinizing air.

He doesn't really like it.

However, given her young age, it was probably unintentional, and Shimada Sho didn't intend to take it seriously.

"Your sister?" he asked Ayase Yuki in his heart.

"...Stepsister." A response finally came in my mind, but the voice was still icy cold. "Now she's called Ayase Maki, and she's my stepmother's daughter."

When did you move in?

"today."

Shimada Sho understood.

Yuki Ayase's father married a new wife and brought over a teenage daughter.

"Maki." Having received her name, Shimada Sho mimicked Ayase Yuki's manner and asked, "What brings you here?"

Ayase Maki answered gracefully, "Mom asked me to call my sister down for dinner, saying that dinner is ready."

"Okay." He nodded. "You can go now, I'll be right there."

“Okay~” Ayase Maki replied and turned to leave.

But she had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on the photo frame on the bedside table.

"Sister, did you take this picture too?"

Without asking any questions, she walked over, reached out and picked up the photo frame, examining it over and over.

"The first time our eyes met..." She read the words on the back of the screen, then looked up at Shimada Sho with a bright smile, "You're so romantic, sister~"

"Put it down," Shimada Sho reminded him.

"What's wrong?" Ayase Maki blinked, looking completely innocent. "I was just looking."

Her hand suddenly slipped.

The picture frame slipped from her hands and fell to the ground with a "thud".

The glass was shattered all over the floor, and the corner of the picture frame was chipped.

The photo that emerged from under the shattered glass was a front-facing picture of Shimada Sho.

Maki Ayase stood still, looking down at the shards on the ground, then slowly raised her head.

Her eyes gradually reddened, and she said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to... You... you're not angry, are you?"

Looking at her tearful appearance, Shimada Sho clicked his tongue inwardly.

She looks like such a young girl, how did she learn to act?

This change in expression seems rather deliberate.

He shook his head tolerantly, "It's nothing, just a picture frame."

"Really?" Ayase Maki's tears were still on her face, but her worry had turned to joy. "I'm glad you don't blame me, sister. Well... I'll go down now?"

"Ah."

Having received permission, she stepped towards the door, her light steps betraying no trace of her earlier distress.

After the door closed, Shimada Sho's gaze fell on the broken glass on the floor and the photos that had fallen out.

This girl has no sense of boundaries.

They barged into other people's rooms as soon as they moved in.

After coming in, she looked around, broke things, and started crying.

It's as if he's the one who did something wrong.

Although they are both stepsisters, Yuzuki is so much better than this girl.
