Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

"…It is because you, Hui, do not have outstanding talents and unique beauty that you are not taken seriously and become an insignificant passerby like you are now.

But it's time to end this suffocating and desperate reality! Since this world doesn't give Hui a place, then you have to kill all those guys who hold the heroine's script!
Step by step, step by step, reach the top! Stand beside the male protagonist and tell everyone that you are not an insignificant passerby character, you are you, you are the one and only Kato Megumi! The absolute heroine! "

Ohashi Junko gave an impassioned mobilization speech, her voice trembling with excitement.

But the silence that followed the outburst was so deafening that instead of receiving the enthusiastic response she had expected, Ohashi Junko asked uncertainly:
"Megumi? Do you also think that it is too inappropriate to include such a popular name as "Kato Megumi" in such an excellent mobilization speech?"

"..."

Kato Megumi, who already had her eyes closed, closed them even tighter and said in a somewhat weak voice:

"Ah~~Thank you, Renzi..."

"Hey, you're welcome. We are close friends. If I don't help you, who will?"

"...If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I had such a great dream~~" Hui said the second half of the sentence.

"Huh? Hui, you're out of your mind. Even if you don't mention your soulmate, Hojo-sensei, you must summon up the courage and fight just for Aunt Mikiko!"

Ohashi Junko shouted in disbelief:
"Think about it. In the hotel before, there were so many people sitting at the table who were prettier than you, more talented than you, better than you, and more..."

"Renzi..."

Hui suddenly spoke faintly:
"So you regard tonight as the last time we meet?"

Although the words in her ear were as calm as ever, Ohashi Junko still shrank her neck in fear, knowing that her friend was reminding her to stop and that she would get angry if she continued to say so.

Alas, So Hui is so easy to deal with. She even skipped the two steps of getting angry and coaxing people, and jumped directly to reconciliation.

Thinking of this, she sighed again:
Who else but Mr. Hojo could be worthy of such a beautiful girl? !
She became even more excited:
"In short, there are so many outstanding girls at the table, but Aunt Mikiko miraculously did not ignore you! Aunt Mikiko not only made time to talk to you, but also helped you order food. And most importantly, she has actually accompanied you shopping twice!

Oh my god, this is the best okāsama in the world! If I can meet a mother-in-law like this in the future, I will be happy to live with them. "

Even Hui was silent now. Although she had not met Kyousuke's mother many times, the young and beautiful Aunt Mikiko had left a deep impression on her. She was lively and did not look like a mother of a high school student at all. She could even chat with a childish girl like Eriri.

The most important thing is, just as Renko said, Aunt Mikiko will not neglect herself even when she is surrounded by outstanding people like Eriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai. One can't help but sigh that she has really good upbringing, is elegant and friendly, and is worthy of being a mother who can raise a person like Kyosuke-kun.

"If I remember correctly, last time your family went on a trip to Kyushu, your mother even forgot you at home, right? Yes, I remember it very clearly, because we spent that vacation together.

If it was Aunt Mikiko, she would definitely not do that. I can even imagine her shouting "Mei? Mei? Why hasn't Mei come yet?" when she leaves the house.

Ohashi Junko added that her imitation was so vivid that even Kato Megumi could imagine the scene in her mind.

No, actually they didn’t forget me at home. At that time, I went to the drugstore on the street to buy daily necessities. When I got home, I found that my parents, sister and my packed luggage had already embarked on their journey, and I was the only one left in front of the closed door.

When I called, I found that my family had already boarded the plane. My mother explained that she had forgotten me when she arrived at the airport, but it was too late because the plane was about to take off, so...

My sister wanted to take the flight back to be with me, but my parents refused on the grounds that the ticket could not be refunded. What's more important is that after they reunited with other family members, others would ask why none of their children came, and my parents would lose face.

Well...of course, she informed her parents before going out to buy things, and also confirmed that she had plenty of time.

Although such painful memories emerged in her mind, the girl Kato Megumi remained neither happy nor sad.

No way, if Hojo Kyosuke was here, he would immediately notice that Kei has become even more "pale".

Obviously, such experiences also turned into experience points, which contributed a lot to the upgrade of Hui's stealth skills. After all, in order to make her parents feel less guilty, the girl had to comfort them by saying that she didn't care. When her parents heard this, they were relieved and ignored it more comfortably next time, forming a perfect vicious circle.

Just like the spell the girl kept chanting, "I am a calm girl...I express my emotions in a casual way, I don't remember things in the past, and I can't really tell the difference between happiness, anger, sadness, and joy. That's me - Kato Megumi."

Because of this, even though she knew that Aunt Mikiko was not treating her specially, but treating every girl related to Kyousuke equally, the girl's heart was still full of waves. After all, just like what Renzi said, Eriri, Mitsuha, Sakura and the others at the table, weren't they holding the heroine's script?

If I treat myself the same way I treat them, wouldn’t that mean I’m treating myself like the heroine?
"Emi! Aunt Mikiko is such a good person, are you willing to let someone else be her mother?!"

Ohashi Junko shouted:
"Tell me, Hui, are you willing?"

"Arnold... being so excited at night is not good for sleep, Renzi."

Kei warned quietly, not explaining to her best friend what she had observed.

"It just so happens that we're having an all-night operational meeting. This is my resolution!"

Ohashi Junko said angrily, and then added in a low voice:
"Anyway, it's Golden Week after tomorrow, and no one in school will be in the mood to study. I'll just sleep in all day tomorrow and then have fun during Golden Week."

This statement is really in line with Renzi's personality and that of a poor student.

Hui thought about it, and her mind became active.

Yeah, it's Golden Week again, maybe I can have a study session with Kyousuke-kun without Eriri?

Neon doesn't have a Labor Day, but it still has the Golden Week. It was originally a term created by two film companies to create a popular schedule. But the original Golden Week was a bit unworthy of its name, and the number of holidays was far less than a week. But at that time, Neon was in a period of rapid development, and Neon workers were working overtime and desperately. In order to curb Neon's development momentum, American dad ordered to improve workers' benefits and increase holidays.

Our workers are on strike, so your workers should also take a day off. Stop working!

This is a damn, evil capitalist country that exploits even the workers’ opportunities to create the fruits of their labor!

Then there are more and more dates marked in red on the Japanese calendar. During every holiday, every Japanese with a conscience should sincerely thank the American dad.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was Ohashi Junko's chattering. The reason why this person had poor academic performance was obvious. She was clearly in a combat meeting before, but in the blink of an eye she began to talk incessantly about holiday arrangements, completely forgetting her grand wish to help her friend become Zhao Gao.

After a long while, the vacation in Ohashi Junko's mind finally ended. When she opened the phone, the fear of school starting made her suddenly come back to her senses and finally remember the important things.

"Hmm? Hui, what's your reply? Are you ready to put on your armor and go to the battlefield?"

She asked seriously.

Kato Megumi has already taken off the mask. When the time is up, only Silly Junko will continue to wear it. Hearing her friend's words, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. Only Silly Junko would worry about the future mother-in-law when nothing is certain, while she would only consider her boyfriend himself.

"What exactly should we do in battle~~"

She didn't answer, but asked another question briskly, her calm voice sounding only slightly curious.

The girl secretly decided in her heart that if Renko said something like "Just challenge Eriri-san to a duel, and the loser will leave Hojo Kyosuke forever" or "Plan a shocking conspiracy to completely eliminate Kasumigaoka-senpai", she would immediately run to her sister's room with a pillow and quilt and fall asleep.

It's not because of fear or lack of ability, but the girl's personality determines that she will never do such a thing.

Such things are too legendary and not suitable for a passerby role like her.

In fact, before really meeting the person they like, no one is really sure what kind of person they want to meet.

The young girl Kato Megumi once fantasized about her future significant other. Would she get lucky and meet a prestigious university student like Keiichi as her mother said, or would she become an ordinary company employee and meet him at a social gathering where no one would approach her either?
Like other girls, Hui also had many magnificent daydreams, such as being a prince of an ancient country, an alien adventurer living in seclusion on Earth, a genius scientist, a famous writer... She also had many unpromising practical considerations. As the head of a seafood store, she had to smell like fish every day, but she could eat high-end seafood as much as she wanted. She was an ordinary company employee who worked overtime all day long. Although she was bored, she didn't dislike being bored...

If "he" is an excellent person, Hui will thank her previous life for doing many good things to make her happy in this life, and then her heart will be filled with that excellent him, and she will think that it is a blessing to have such an excellent husband.
If "he" is an ordinary person, Hui would be grateful to the world for creating such an ordinary object for herself, and would accept it calmly and think happily, "This is pretty good."

For other people, whether he is an excellent "he" or an ordinary "he", perhaps they are all unique gifts from God, but for Hui, whether he is "excellent" or "ordinary", it is just an attribute of "he". This attribute can be replaced by other attributes such as "talented", "doctor", "rich", etc., but that is not important.

Those were not the things she cared about, and that kind of existence was never what she wanted.

It doesn’t matter whether “he” is excellent or ordinary.

As long as it's not too annoying, it's fine.

As long as you have a little feeling, it's okay.

The girl Kato Megumi is a person who is afraid of trouble, and even her vision of her future partner seems to be developing in the direction of "convenience".

Even if it seems to be totally incompatible and weird to others (best friends), what can we do if the person involved doesn't hate them?

The thing called liking is something very strange.

What's so strange about developing a liking for someone just because of a shout from the crowd or an eye contact?

This kind of simple, convenient and trouble-free love may be extremely boring compared to everyone’s favorite romantic comedies, but what can we do if the parties involved just like it?

So even if I have to compete with others, even if people will say "This is not something you would do with your personality", even if I have to face girls who are a hundred times better than me, even if...

But...what does this have to do with me!

She will go her own way, just like a passerby, to the end.

Ohashi Junko didn't know that her friend's heart was being ravaged by a tornado, she was just overjoyed. Although Hui still didn't respond directly, she knew her friend's personality and knew that this was the best answer. She didn't ask any more questions, she jumped up excitedly, and the mask on her face fell off.

"First of all, we have to make one thing clear!"

As she spoke, she jumped onto the bed, squeezed next to Hui and hugged her arm.

"Modern warfare is an information war. Whoever masters the information holds the code to victory!"

Hearing this, Hui couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at her friend next to her in surprise.

Hmm... How could silly Lunzi say something so sensible?

"First of all, here's our intelligence. You're not as pretty as Eriri, and your figure isn't as good as Kasumigaoka-senpai's. And you've known Hojo-sensei for eight galaxies longer than Sakura-san. The only thing you're worthy of praise for is your good temper and your good manners. But compared to Nozomi-san..."

"..."

Hui closed her eyes in despair. Well, it’s still that silly Renzi.

"So...Renzi, are you sure that I won't be angry with you tonight?" she asked.

"Hehehe, I think even if you are angry, you will definitely forgive me. After all, we are close friends!" Ohashi Junko said with a grin. (End of this chapter)
