Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

She waited for the butler to come over before saying, "Grandpa Kira, could you take me to see those delinquents?"

"Um...why?" the butler asked, puzzled.

Several young delinquents with no background or connections.

He had been detained at the Metropolitan Police Department earlier, and after being interrogated and found out that he hadn't done anything, he was about to be released.

"I have some questions I'd like to ask them."

Yukine Kamishiro spoke calmly, then added, "I think they should be detained for a few more days, for the sake of social harmony."

Chapter 43 Yuki Ayase's Observation Activities

【Ding! 】

[You have successfully completed the limited-time wish quest for Yukine Kamishiro—The Young Lady's Doubts.]

[Mission Evaluation: SS Rank. (Over the past three days, you have built a deep friendship with the young lady through continuous companionship, providing her with a unique sense of security. Today, you perfectly addressed her deep-seated anxiety about exclusivity as a "protector," and at a crucial moment, completely dispelled her worries that Mr. Thug would leave.)]

[Wish fulfillment complete, reward being distributed...]

[Task rating exceeded limit, triggering hidden reward pool!]

[Congratulations to the player who has won: 500000 yen in cash!]

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained the special item - Bond Camera (Legendary)!]

As soon as Shimada Sho's consciousness returned to his body, a series of notification sounds bombarded his mind, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

He suddenly opened his eyes, not bothering to check his surroundings, and stared intently at the light screen in front of him.

Five hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand yen!

Holy crap!

Shimada Sho almost lost control of his expression, swallowing back the national essence that was about to be uttered.

Is this still that damn restrictive system?

A one-time direct reward of 500,000 yuan, surpassing all previous rewards.

Not only did it directly achieve 1/4 of the debt repayment progress, but it also rewarded me with a legendary item!

Shimada Sho lowered his gaze to the new items that had appeared in his inventory.

[Bond Camera] (Legendary)

[Type]: Special Interactive Item

[Effect]: After use, you can take a photo of the registered character. The photo will automatically generate a "bond mission". After the character completes the mission, the player will receive mission rewards (including but not limited to money, skills, rare items, and development progress).

[Usage Limit]: Limited to 1 use per character (cannot be accumulated)

[Special Note]: The photo itself will become "proof of the bond" between the target and the player. The target will develop special feelings for the photo for unknown reasons and will be willing to actively complete the tasks implied in the photo. This process is completely in line with real-world logic and will not arouse any suspicion.

[Currently Interactive Character]: Yukine Kamishiro

The introduction was quite long, and it took Shimada Sho some time to read it all.

Once you understand the content, you can't help but smile wildly.

"Isn't this just a money-making machine that forcibly creates tasks?!"

He suppressed the urge to burst into laughter, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Five hundred thousand in cash, plus this legendary prop.

Today's harvest can only be described as explosive.

Shimada Sho never expected that after his mission rating rose to SS, he would receive such an amazing reward.

If every task could be like this from now on.

Then all the problems he faces in life will be solved.

"This is the kind of treatment I, a transmigrator, should receive!"

Thinking back, I worked myself to the bone to complete tasks and only got 10,000 points, not to mention the terrible stuff I got from the lottery.

Unlike now, even if you do nothing but focus on character development, you can still reap rich rewards.

It seems we'll have to pay more attention to task scoring from now on.

The rating should be raised to SS to avoid missing out on good rewards.

Or, is there an SSS?

With this in mind, Shimada Sho opened the task panel again.

"Why did the ratings suddenly surge this time?"

He muttered to himself, pondering the reason.

When I logged out just now, Shimada Sho checked the mission information and it only had a B rating.

But as soon as consciousness returned, the rating soared to SS.

Did something happen?

Shimada Sho's gaze fell on the description in the mission settlement panel.

Today, you acted as a "protector," perfectly addressing her deep-seated anxiety about "uniqueness" and, at a crucial moment, completely dispelling her worries that Mr. Thug would leave.

"Does the protector mean I scared away those bad guys?"

But the young lady had already defeated the delinquent gangs of Kabukicho.

Every scoundrel who saw her avoided her like the plague; she didn't need to scare her at all.

Furthermore, the system description portrays Shimada Sho as a protector.

"When did I protect her?"

It would be more accurate to say that he protected Sasaki Nozomi, but the young lady was unaware of this matter.

And shouldn't we be even more anxious now that we know?

Shimada Sho, puzzled, shifted his gaze to the next sentence.

At the crucial moment, her worries about Mr. Thug leaving were completely dispelled...

What is a critical moment?

What dispelled your worries?

"We have absolutely no leads." Shimada Sho felt a headache coming on.

The riddle is presented in a way that is completely incoherent and leaves no clues whatsoever.

The more I look at it, the less I understand it.

"I don't want to think about it anymore!" Shimada Sho decisively gave up.

Anyway, the rewards can't be faked, so let's investigate the truth next time we log in.

As for the present situation...

Shimada Sho shut down the system and looked at the pair of deep eyes that were so close to him.

Those eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were quietly meeting his gaze.

He noticed it just now.

But they were too busy sorting out their gains to react immediately.

The system panel was now closed, and my gaze met those eyes up close.

The air lacked that familiar classroom smell, a mixture of cheap bread and sweat.

Instead, there is a faint fragrance of jasmine.

The owner of the fragrance and the owner of the eyes in front of me are the same person.

Yuki Ayase.

He was bending over, his hands on the sofa armrests, his face less than twenty centimeters away from him.

Those eyes stared straight at him, their gaze filled with undisguised inquiry and a complex emotion that Shimada Sho couldn't decipher.

The two of them just stared at each other.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Shimada Sho blinked expressionlessly.

Yuki Ayase also blinked.

"Have you seen enough?" Shimada Sho asked calmly.

Yuki Ayase tilted her head slightly, as if observing some rare animal: "Mr. Pervert is awake."

Shimada Sho lay back on the sofa, looked up and said, "So could you stay away from me?"

"No." Ayase Yuki gently shook her head.

"why?"

"Because I am observing."

"Observe what?"

"When you observe Mr. Pervert spacing out, do you ever do anything perverted?" Ayase Yuki answered seriously, "Like suddenly becoming horny and harassing female classmates."

Shimada Sho took a deep breath.

He was already used to this woman's sharp tongue and didn't want to stoop to her level.

Shimada Sho sat up straight, propping himself up on his arms, as a notification came to his mind that the system was receiving the managed memories.

At this moment, Yuki Ayase also stood up, took a step back, and continued to look at him with her hands behind her back.

"Hey, aren't you getting something backwards?"

Shimada Sho straightened his wrinkled school uniform and looked up to meet Ayase Yuki's gaze.

"What's backwards?"

"You called me a pervert." Shimada Sho pointed to himself, then looked at her with disdain. "But a girl who stares at a guy when he's not looking, or even moves closer to him, is more like a pervert, isn't she?"

Chapter 44 Is she really the board's favorite daughter?

"Mr. Pervert, please distinguish between observation and another rude word."

Faced with Shimada Sho's questioning, Ayase Yuki calmly gave her answer.

Shimada Sho scoffed, "What's the difference?"

Yuki Ayase paused for a second, seemingly thinking, then tilted her head and said calmly, "Observation is about carrying out club activities."

"What kind of club activity requires staring at male students' faces?"

“Human observation,” Yuki Ayase said matter-of-factly. “Our club’s full name is ‘Literary Discussion and Human Observation Club,’ Mr. Pervert, you haven’t forgotten that, have you?”

Shimada Sho: "..."

Okay, you win.

He stopped arguing about the issue and got up to stretch his muscles.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window; the time should be the same as the previous two times.

Shimada Sho went to the window, feeling the warmth of the sunlight, and closed his eyes to confirm, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Forty-three minutes." Yuki Ayase walked back to her desk and sat down. "Thirty seconds less than yesterday."

"...Do you keep track of time every day?"

"As the president of the Human Observation Society, recording the behavior patterns of its members is a basic requirement."
