Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

If he logs in and the other person turns out to be that kind of person, he'll be in real trouble.

For a moment, Shimada Sho was conflicted.

Meanwhile, after tidying up the cash register, Tenkai Chizuru stretched and said, "Alright, it's getting late, I have to go."

She came out from behind the cashier and picked up a hat and coat that were placed to the side.

However, he didn't wear it; he just held it casually in his hand.

"Are you coming to work tomorrow, sir?"

"Go." Shimada Sho thought about the binding matter and answered without hesitation.

Tenkai Chizuru then said, "Then I'll come again tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Shimada Sho looked surprised. "What are you here for?"

"Of course I'm here to help," said Chizuru Amami as a matter of course. "I've already learned how to use the cash register today, so I can be your temporary worker tomorrow."

Shimada Sho frowned. "Aren't you an idol?"

“Being an idol is a job, but I think being a convenience store employee is quite fun.”

"And I'm currently on rest, and my agent said I can do whatever I want."

Chizuru Amami winked playfully, then waved and left the convenience store without waiting for Sho Shimada to say anything more.

"It's decided then!"

Her voice carried on from afar, leaving Shimada Sho with only a hurried, whirlwind-like silhouette.

Inside the convenience store, Shimada Sho looked up at the sky and sighed, questioning the meaning of life.

"It looks like all this planning is going to fall through, damn it!"

Chapter 51 Hmm... feels good.

Saturday.

The mornings in Tokyo are exceptionally quiet.

There were no hurried footsteps of commuters, no running sounds of students rushing to catch the tram, only the occasional chirping of birds drifting in from outside the window.

Shimada Sho was awakened by the sunlight.

He squinted at his phone—9:23 AM, he'd slept for almost ten hours.

After getting off work last night, he ran home as usual.

It took some time on the way back, and I called Aunt Daohua again after I got back.

After confirming that Hoshino Yuzuki had returned home safely and making plans to visit them the next day, I played on my phone for a while before going to sleep.

From 11 a.m. to 9 a.m., Shimada Sho slept in all the time he had missed since his transmigration.

I got up and stretched my neck, then turned to look out the window. The sky was a clear blue, with a few white clouds drifting lazily by.

Sunlight streamed through the glass windows into the room, making the bed feel warm and cozy.

"What a beautiful day!"

Feeling cheerful, Shimada Sho got out of bed and put the bento box he had picked up from the convenience store the night before into the microwave.

After washing up, I took my lunchbox and sat down at my desk.

There was an old computer on the table, which the original owner had bought from a second-hand market.

The system is so old that it takes a long time to boot up.

There are several scratches on the screen, and the battery is severely depleted; it can only be used for daily study.

Shimada Sho sat down to eat while plugging in the charger and exporting the recorded videos from his phone.

It's the weekend, so his part-time job offers him a lot of flexibility.

The earliest you can go is at 1 p.m., and you can work until 9 p.m.

If it's late, 3 o'clock is fine too.

In short, the beautiful store manager has already sent out a message via LINE saying, "Genji-kun can come anytime."

Having finally found some free time, Shimada Sho decided to release the video he had planned earlier.

He has collected a lot of material over the past few days, all from the perspective of store clerks when customers buy goods at convenience stores.

It just so happens that in his previous life, when he was hanging out on the streets, he followed trends and worked as a short video blogger for a while.

The general production process is clear: it's simply a matter of selecting materials, pacing, adding subtitles, and adding music.

After downloading CapCut from a domestic website and resolving a series of tedious login issues, Shimada Sho put away his empty bento box and began editing.

For the first video, he chose the clip from his first day at work, where Chizuru Amami asked, "Do you have any sleeping pills?"

In the video, he sits behind the cashier and calmly says, "Yes."

The guest was taken aback.

"Guest, you've come to the wrong place."

Then came the scene of the other party hurriedly apologizing.

Shimada Sho cut this segment to fifteen seconds, heavily blurred Amami Chizuru's face, added a lighthearted background music, and added several large words at the beginning:

[Working at a Convenience Store in Tokyo - Part 1]

"What you think of as a convenience store: rice balls, oden, and coffee."

"A real convenience store: a magical place that has everything."

After finishing the editing, Shimada Sho opened Douyin (TikTok) in China and registered a new account.

The profile picture is of a convenience store sign, and the nickname is "Gold Medal Lecturer - Island Adventure".

Everything is done, Shimada Sho clicks upload.

Tenkai Chizuru's identity is special, and posting here could easily cause trouble.

But if it's posted domestically and the face is covered with a thick mask, there shouldn't be any problems.

"I said I wouldn't post videos, but I only said I wouldn't post them on Japanese internet, not anywhere else."

As Shimada Sho watched the preview video of Amami Chizuru bowing and apologizing, he muttered to himself, suddenly feeling like one of those scumbags who, in an accidentally leaked private video, takes a picture of their partner with their phone and says, "I'll just watch it myself."

After the video was posted, Shimada Sho leaned back in his chair and waited for a while.

Refreshing again, the background data remained unchanged:

Views: 0.

Likes: 0.

Comments: 0.

"……Grass."

Shimada Sho simply closed the webpage.

I'm too lazy to watch it. Anyway, it was just a casual attempt, so it doesn't matter if it goes viral or not.

He opened CapCut and quickly continued editing.

I have to go to school for the next week, so I need to cut out the drafts in advance.

This job wasn't particularly interesting; it involved constant editing, dragging, and selecting inserts.

After doing it too much, it becomes mechanical repetition.

The system's hosting functionality would be a good fit for this.

With that thought in mind, Shimada Sho opened the system.

【Kamidai Yukiyin】

[Development Progress: 31%]

[Connection Cooling Down: Reset (Connectable)]

I was so engrossed in editing the video that I didn't notice that the young lady's connection cooldown had ended.

"Give it a try."

Shimada Sho stopped what he was doing and started the connection.

He was planning to accelerate the young lady's development today.

We're 19% away from unlocking the second slot. If all goes well, we could see a 10% increase today.

Then log in again tomorrow, and it should be around 50%.

Because of yesterday's events, we need to observe Tenkai Chizuru further, but the character slots must be unlocked no matter what.

In addition, we tried letting the system manage the video editing, killing two birds with one stone.

[Should we add the character "Kamishiro Yukine"?]

"Yes."

[Do you want to enable the "managed mode" for the main game?]

"Yes."

Shimada Sho made consecutive selections without hesitation.

After confirming, the familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and everything went black—

……

When I opened my eyes again, the scenery had changed.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of white fog.

Warm, humid mist with a faint floral scent.

The sound of rushing water filled my ears, and warm water droplets trickled down my body, dripping onto the tiled floor with a crisp sound.

Shimada Sho looked down.

Her long, silver hair clung damply to her shoulders, water droplets sliding down the ends and down her fair collarbone...

"Grass!"

Shimada Sho suddenly looked up, staring blankly at the misty wall in front of him.

This is a fucking bathroom.

Yukine Kamishiro is taking a bath.

There was no greeting as usual, and my mind was completely silent.

Is she not here?

No, they're definitely there, they just aren't saying anything.

Shimada Sho could feel that the body was slightly hot, the steam made his cheeks flushed, water droplets hung on his eyelashes, and his vision was a little blurry.

This was something I never expected; I would encounter such an awkward situation when logging in.

What should we do now?

quit?

But the progress hasn't been updated yet. If I quit today, I might not reach 50% tomorrow.

Not exiting?

So you're just going to stand there in the bathroom with this wet body?

Shimada Sho took a deep breath and tried to fix his gaze on the tiles in front of him.

"Yukine?"

no respond.

"Miss?"

silence.

"I know you're here."
