Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Seeing Shimada Sho come up, he looked him up and down and then stepped aside.

"Go in."

Chapter 84 Two Qing Dynasties

Shimada Sho stepped over the crew-cut man and into the room.

I discovered that this was a large, open-plan office.

The office was much larger than I had imagined. There were several long tables in the middle of the office, with various documents scattered on them.

Several metal cabinets stood against the wall, with a statue of Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) on top of each cabinet, and incense burners and fruit placed in front of them.

Further inside, there is a half-open door, behind which is a separate office.

There were a few people sitting over there; they were clearly members of the underworld.

Looking from afar, Shimada Sho immediately noticed the man sitting on the innermost sofa.

He was wearing a dark gray suit, looked to be in his early forties, and had his hair neatly combed.

His square face, though typical of his features, revealed a hint of ferocity.

He was holding a cigarette and looking at his phone.

He spotted Shimada Sho entering, glanced at him briefly, then looked down at his phone again.

After a while, he raised his hand, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit."

Shimada Sho did not sit down as he had instructed.

Instead, he walked to the table and took his backpack off his back and placed it on the table.

Seeing his actions, all the gangsters sitting in the office looked over.

With composure and neither arrogance nor servility, Shimada Sho pulled a brown paper envelope from his bag.

The envelope contained two million in cash that he had just withdrawn from the bank.

Two thick stacks of banknotes, tied together with rubber bands.

He placed the envelope on the table and pushed it in front of the middle-aged man.

"Two million, the principal, not a penny less."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Shimada Sho with great interest.

Then, he picked up the envelope, opened it, and took out two stacks of money to look at them.

He then handed the money to his henchman standing next to him, who took the money and walked to the money counting machine by the wall to start counting it.

The office fell silent, save for the whirring of the money counting machine.

Shimada Sho stood still, his gaze sweeping across the room.

A calligraphy scroll hangs on the wall, bearing the two characters "仁义" (benevolence and righteousness), written in a hasty hand.

On the cabinet next to it were several trophies and certificates, which were prizes for winning a martial arts competition.

There was a water dispenser in the corner, covered in dust.

At first glance, Shimada Sho felt that everything here exuded a deliberate sense of formality.

"The amount is correct." The clerk finished counting the money and nodded to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man grunted in acknowledgment, took a document from the drawer, and pushed it in front of Shimada Sho.

"The IOU and guarantee agreement are all here."

Shimada Sho picked it up and flipped through it.

The IOU bears the original owner's name and the loan amount, and the guarantee contract also has the original owner's signature and fingerprint.

The date is last month, and the due date is tomorrow.

He carefully put the documents away and placed them in his backpack.

"We're even." The middle-aged man sat on the sofa, revealing a fairly kind smile.

Shimada Sho nodded, then turned and walked straight out without lingering any longer.

Little did they know that no sooner had they left than the middle-aged man produced a new contract from somewhere, a playful look on his face.

By this time, it was completely dark, the streetlights were on, and the streets were starting to come alive.

After going downstairs, Shimada Sho took a deep breath by the roadside.

Looking at the dark stairwell behind him, he felt all the pressure in his body completely disappear.

Things went so smoothly it was almost abnormal.

Last week, that group of thugs were so aggressive, looking for Hoshino Yuuki and Aunt Shima Hana, but today they're all very polite and haven't uttered a single harsh word.

He had expected to be harassed and was even prepared to take action.

As it turned out, the other party not only didn't make things difficult for him, but also produced the IOU and guarantee contract.

Under these circumstances, Shimada Sho didn't care about anything else.

When he owed money, he went to the other party's door with cash, and the other party accepted the money and settled the debt. The process was without any problems.

"never mind."

Shimada Sho shook his head, trying to clear these distracting thoughts from his mind.

In any case, the debt has been paid off, and he no longer needs to worry about Aunt Island Flower and the others coming to his door.

On my side, the pressure has been completely relieved.

Regardless of whether there was a problem with this matter, he got the IOU anyway.

The previous debts are wiped clean.

The mountain that had been weighing on me since I crossed over has finally been removed.

There will be no more financial pressure.

From now on, I can focus on my studies and enjoy life...

Shimada Sho, lost in thought about the future, boarded the bus for his return journey.

The street scene outside the window kept receding. Looking at the flashing neon lights outside, I thought about the days since I transmigrated.

Although only a week had passed, it felt exceptionally long to him.

Every day, he thinks about how to make money to pay off his debts, how to complete tasks, and how to develop his character to get rewards.

My nerves were always on edge; I never truly relaxed.

Now that the debt has been paid off and the system is back on track, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go home early today, get a good night's sleep, and take a break from logging into the system."

Shimada Sho pondered this in his mind, then took out his phone and glanced at it.

There are two new messages on Line.

One of the messages was from Rena Takikawa:

[Shinjuku Gyoen no Hana: Genji-kun, did you receive your money? Remember to come to work tomorrow, or I'll deduct your salary!]

This was followed by a playful emoji.

Shimada Sho replied with a "OK" and then opened another message.

It's a contact person with a cartoon penguin avatar.

[It's my idol: Sir/Madam, may I come to the store tomorrow?]

This is a picture of Chizuru Amami that I added when I was working at the store.

Shimada Sho glanced at the message he sent, thought for a moment, and typed a reply:

[Conquer Tokyo Academy: Sure.]

The message was sent, and the other party replied instantly:

[Chizuru: That's great! Thank you, sir!]

It was followed by a string of exclamation marks and smiley faces.

Looking at the message she sent, Shimada Sho could roughly imagine how happy she was at that moment.

Upon opening the character management section of the system, I saw the text description "[Nervous, Expectant...]" floating above the head of the character representing Chizuru Amami.

Below, there are several pink animated hearts.

Thinking about what she was looking forward to, Shimada Sho's relaxed state of mind was immediately brought back to a jolt.

"Oh shit!"

This little idol even gave him a difficult problem.

They want to be treated roughly.

Once Shimada Sho agreed to the task, he was already halfway there.

The rest will have to wait until he pretends to be hypnotized by the system and then puts it into practice before it can be considered completely completed.

However, this was a bit of a challenge for Shimada Sho.

He's not a real sadist; he's never done anything like that.

If we're talking about treating people roughly, it can't be physical violence, can it?

Don't let it escalate into a violent outburst that drives people away from the community.

"Let's take it one step at a time. That girl is timid; maybe a few words of scare will work."

Unable to imagine a specific method, Shimada Sho comforted himself with this thought.

Before I knew it, the bus had stopped at Tonino 4-cho.

Shimada Sho pulled himself out of the car and walked into that familiar alley.

Before long, the dilapidated wooden building, faintly visible in the night, came into view.

As he walked downstairs, Shimada Sho looked up at the second floor.

The window was ajar, and the light was on inside.

"Ok?"

Shimada Sho was taken aback.

He remembered turning off the lights when he left.

Has a thief broken in?

He tiptoed up the stairs.

The wooden staircase creaked softly, its sound particularly clear in the quiet night.

The door to the second floor was ajar, and warm yellow light shone through the crack.

Shimada Sho pushed open the door, and the scene he saw made him freeze in place.

Hoshino Yuuki was wearing his T-shirt, with her legs bare, and sitting cross-legged on his bed.

She was holding a rice ball in her hand, eating while looking at her phone.

She was like a girl in her own home, completely letting down her guard.

"But this is clearly my residence, isn't it?"

Shimada Sho was stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a moment.

……

Chapter 85: Will the God Era Zaibatsu Invest in Schools?

Inside the room, Hoshino Yuuki, who was lying on the bed playing on her phone, looked up when she heard the noise and saw Shimada Sho enter.

Their eyes met, and she paused in her act of biting into her rice ball.
