Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho put down his pen and slumped into his chair.

He doesn't want to do it anymore.

Even without the reward, he didn't want to listen to this woman deliberately disgusting him anymore.

"Dong dong."

A knocking sound suddenly rang out.

"Sister, are you there?"

A sweet voice came from outside the door.

Maki Ayase.

Shimada Sho's eyes lit up.

He glanced at the exam paper on the table, then at the doorway, and suddenly had an idea.

"Yes." He stood up and walked to the door.

As I opened the door, Ayase Yuki, wearing a pink loungewear dress, appeared before me.

Her two low ponytails hung over her shoulders, she held a plate of cut fruit in her hand, and had a sweet smile on her face.

"Sister, Mom asked me to bring you some fruit." She held up the plate in her hand. "You didn't eat much tonight."

Shimada Sho glanced down at the plate of fruit; the apples were neatly cut and had a few toothpicks stuck in them.

"Thank you." Shimada Sho took the fruit plate.

She glanced at Ayase Maki; she showed no sign of leaving.

Perhaps the previous threat had worked, because she didn't barge in again.

Seeing her hesitation, Shimada Sho smiled faintly, "Maki, come in and eat with us too."

"Eh, is that okay?" Ayase Maki asked, full of surprise.

Shimada Sho smiled slightly, "Of course, you're my sister."

Hearing her "older sister's" doting words, Ayase Maki couldn't help but smile.

Without hesitation, she immediately followed him into the room.

Once inside, Shimada Sho put down the fruit plate and looked at Ayase Maki, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, not daring to move. "Maki is a first-year high school student now, right?"

“Mmm!” Ayase Maki nodded obediently.

Shimada Sho cut to the chase, "Could you do my sister a favor?"

"What?" Ayase Maki was puzzled.

Shimada Sho picked up a piece of apple from the fruit plate, put it in his mouth, and smiled, "If I can help my older sister, I'll feed you an apple~"

Ayase Maki was taken aback for a moment, but when she saw her older sister looking at her with amusement, her face flushed red.

"What kind of help?" Perhaps thinking of something, she asked immediately without hesitation.

Shimada Sho stepped aside and pointed to the papers on the desk. "Help me finish these papers."

Ayase Maki's expectant gaze froze for a moment. "...A test paper?"

"Yeah, it's for first-year high school students, not too difficult."

Shimada Sho walked back to his desk and sat down, pushing the papers aside and patting the chair next to him. "My sister is a little tired, Maki, can you help her with these?"

Seeing her "older sister" looking at her expectantly, she completely suppressed any initial instinctive resistance she might have felt.

“Yes, sister,” Ayase Maki replied obediently.

Shimada Sho walked over and patted her head. "That's nice, come on."

"Mmm!" Ayase Maki smiled brightly, like a kitten receiving a reward.

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately sat down at the table and began working on the test paper.

Shimada Sho looked at her with a smug smile.

There are solutions to problems, after all.

The system only told us to complete the test, but didn't specify who should do it.

"You made her do it?" Ayase Yuki's tone was very unpleasant.

Shimada Sho, however, didn't seem to care and said calmly, "Didn't you say this was a first-year high school question? She's a first-year high school student, so this is perfect for her."

"You're slacking off."

“That’s called a reasonable division of labor.” Shimada Sho’s tone was smug and nonchalant. “Smart people never need to do things themselves; they just need to let the right people do the right things.”

Chapter Seventeen: Moving and Dating

With someone helping him with the exam, Shimada Sho was able to relax and leisurely rest on the edge of the bed.

In her mind, Yuki Ayase would occasionally utter discontented remarks.

But he ignored them all.

About an hour later, Ayase Maki, who was engrossed in doing her test paper, stretched.

She turned to look at Shimada Sho and asked uncertainly, "Sister, um... will you be happy if I finish?"

"Of course." Shimada Sho smiled warmly.

Ayase Maki immediately perked up, "Yeah!"

"Shameless!" Yuki Ayase cursed.

Unfortunately, Shimada Sho remained silent despite being the target of the criticism.

Her sister couldn't hear either.

Maki Ayase battled through a sea of ​​practice questions, completing the tests incredibly quickly.

He would occasionally pause to think for a moment, then immediately continue writing.

The high school exam wasn't difficult for her, and wanting to please her older sister, she took it very seriously.

About an hour later, she put down her pen, neatly stacked the three papers, and pushed them in front of Shimada Sho.

"Sister, I've finished writing."

Shimada Sho picked it up and flipped through it. The handwriting was neat, and the answers were written in full, so it seemed that he had indeed put his heart into it.

"That's amazing." He reached out and ruffled Ayase Maki's hair.

The other person visibly stiffened, a blush quickly spreading across their cheeks. They then lowered their head and murmured softly, "N-nothing..."

"Thank you so much, Maki. I'm very grateful," Shimada Sho continued to express his gratitude.

When she spoke, her smile became even sweeter, and she deliberately moved a little closer.

Ayase Maki seemed to have been electrocuted, and her shoulders hunched up instantly.

Seeing her nervous expression, Shimada Sho decided to stop teasing her and said softly, "Alright, Maki can go back now."

"Okay." Ayase Maki obediently got up.

This time, her face lacked its usual fake smile. Upon reaching the door, she simply turned around and said sincerely, "Goodnight, sister."

"Good night."

The door closed, and the room became quiet.

"You are so shameless!"

Ayase Yuki's disdainful voice echoed in my mind.

"Not bad." Shimada Sho took this as a compliment and said casually, "Your sister is quite useful."

"She is a person, not a tool."

"A tool".

“You’re really annoying,” Yuki Ayase emphasized again.

Unfortunately, Shimada Sho was already immune to this kind of attack.

He didn't even bother to respond, and instead started checking the connection time on his own.

[Remaining time for this connection: 00:01:30]

I spent a lot of time doing the test, and the connection time limit is almost up.

"I'm leaving."

No one is trying to stop you.

Shimada Sho smiled and reminded him, "We'll be back tomorrow."

"Whatever." Ayase Yuki was used to his behavior.

[Log out of the character "Yuki Ayase"?]

He voluntarily pressed the logout button, confirmed it, and then withdrew from consciousness.

【Ding! 】

[Temporary mission – The Girl's Test – Completed!]

[Task Evaluation: Grade B (You completed the task using a clever method; although the approach wasn't particularly sophisticated, the objective was achieved.)]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations to the player who has won: 50000 yen in cash!]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the random item - Ring of Wisdom (Purple Quality)!]

My thoughts returned to the main point, and the results panel popped up before my eyes.

Shimada Sho clicked to view the item details:

【Ring of Wisdom】(Purple Quality/Accessory)

[Type]: Wearable jewelry

[Effect]: Wisdom +6. Wearing this item can enhance logical thinking ability and learning efficiency, making the thinking process clearer and sharper, and making it easier to generate inspiration and creativity.

[Note: This effect can be combined with existing knowledge-based skills and is suitable for use in scenarios such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.]

[Negative effects]: None.

Shimada Sho's eyes lit up when he saw the description "Intelligence +6".

This was the first time he had ever seen the attribute of wisdom; it was neither physical nor charisma, but rather something that directly affected the level of thinking.

He now has the skill of digesting knowledge, but that is passive absorption. The Ring of Wisdom enhances the ability to think proactively.

The effect should be better if used in combination.

Unfortunately, the bracelet is made of fine, silvery-white metal with a simple design, featuring only a small flower in the center.

The design is very nice, but it looks like a women's style.

If you wear it, you'll easily be laughed at.

After thinking it over, Shimada Sho still didn't take it out.

Let's talk about it when we need it.

After looking at the props, he turned his attention to the money clue.

Fifty thousand yen in cash.

Although it's not much, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Besides, he has to accompany Ayase Yuki tomorrow, so he can use the money to buy some things.

After gathering his thoughts, Shimada Sho set his phone alarm, turned over, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Shimada Sho was woken up by the vibration of his phone.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it; it was a message from Yuki Ayase.

[Xiang is Wings~: Xiang-kun, can we switch to the afternoon? I have something to do this morning.]

I had arranged to spend time with her today, but Ayase Yuki had something come up at the last minute.
