Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Peek, peek, and peek again.

Sayaka, who was sitting in the last row, kept looking at Hojo Kyosuke in front of her, her little head turning away for a while, then turning back again as if startled. The imperial envoy who was sitting in the same row with Hojo Kyosuke turned around and stared at him blankly, as if he was playing a game of staring blankly.

"Actually, if you want to watch it, just watch it. I won't be jealous."

Mitsuha Miyamizu said helplessly that her friend's secret feeling was too strong. Those who knew her would think that she was curious, while those who didn't would think that she was secretly in love with Kyosuke.

"really?"

Sayaka asked immediately in surprise. In her simple values, she shouldn't care so much about her good friend's partner. But...

That’s Hojo Kyosuke! Alive! Real! The Hojo Kyosuke you can touch with your hands!!

I really couldn't help it. When I returned to Nara a couple of days later and told everyone around me, they were all so envious!

"Well, if you have anything you want to ask, you can just ask directly. Just think of Kyousuke as your friend too."

Miss Miko nodded, smiling kindly, and was extremely relieved about her friend.

After getting permission, Sayaka immediately started asking Hojo Kyosuke crazy questions, her little face flushed like a happy little bird.

"Is it true what the magazine said about you having a dozen girlfriends?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"what happened?"

The sudden silence made Sayaka suddenly confused, and she looked at the people around her in confusion.

"Did I... say something wrong?" Her expression gradually became sad.

"Yeah, I'm curious too, is what the magazine says true?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at someone with an inexplicable brilliance in her big eyes, and said with a smile:

"Can our Hojo-sensei solve Sayaka's curiosity?"

Yes, Kyosuke brother, just as there is no road in the world that is only downhill, how should you answer this question?
Miyamizu Yotsuba looked at someone with sympathy, and wanted to say that no matter who Kyousuke's girlfriend was, she was always his good sister. But she was afraid of being beaten up by her sister, so she could only support him with her eyes.

The envoy immediately thought of those articles about Hojo Kyosuke's girlfriend in the magazine before, who were childhood sweethearts and high school beautiful female writers, and were really enviable. He read them with great interest at that time, but he didn't expect that his good friend was among them.

stare--

The imperial envoy, who still had the green monk's hair, had his eyebrows raised in an inverted eight shape and was staring at someone fiercely.

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke glanced at Sayaka calmly, thinking that he had originally planned to take her to visit the Asahi Shimbun Building, but now it seems he will have to wait until next life.

Really, you really asked me to ask? Do you know what polite words are? No wonder I call you brainless Ah Xiang.

Taking a deep breath, how could such a small situation be difficult for Hojo Kyosuke?
Super brain, full power!
The moral bottom line is lowered to the lowest level!
"How can you trust anything in a gossip magazine?"

He looked at Sayaka with reproach in his eyes and anger in his tone:

"If you want, Sayaka, I can help you find a magazine with a circulation of no less than 50,000 to publish gossip about you and Kimura Takuya. You can have as many children as you want."

"Is it really possible!?"

Sayaka's eyes immediately lit up.

"What about me? Can I, too?"

The imperial envoy also started shouting loudly.

"Hmm? Imperial envoy, do you also want to have a baby with Kimura Takuya?"

"No, I wanted to... No! I wanted to confess my feelings to you, Sayaka, up there."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

The envoy sat up straight and saluted, but then realized something was wrong:
"Wait, don't you also want to have a scandal with Kimura Takuya? Why can't I…"

"I was..."

The two began to quarrel again.

Hojo Kyosuke and Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at each other, without any of the tension they had before, and their expressions were equally kind.

"Your relationship is still as good as ever." Hojo Kyosuke said with emotion.

"Who would have a good relationship with this guy!" X2
The mushroom-headed man and the monk-headed man responded in the same way, and then snorted at the same time:

"Hmph!" X2
"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing their two good friends who seemed to be frozen in the cracks of time, Hojo Kyosuke and Mitsuha both laughed heartily. Only Yotsuha was criticizing the Imperial Envoy in great dissatisfaction.

This small episode was easily resolved by someone and did not affect Sayaka's mood for conversation at all. You have to know that among the people who had talked to her in the first ten years of her life, the most famous one was only the town's top celebrity Mitsuha Miyamizu, or the miko Mitsuha Miyamizu who later became famous in the newspapers, or Hojo Kyosuke's girlfriend Miyamizu Mitsuha.

It's rare to meet a big shot like Hojo Kyosuke, and she has a lot of things she wants to ask.

If you can't ask about the relationship you're most interested in, then ask about other ones.

"Hojo-san you..."

"Just call me Hojo."

"Yeah, the internet says that the income from one of your comics is enough to buy a mansion in Tokyo. Is that true?"

“That’s slightly incorrect.”

"Haha, I knew it was fake. If it was really that profitable, everyone would just draw comics." Sayaka breathed a sigh of relief.

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and said, "To be honest, I haven't finished a comic so far, so I don't know how much income a comic can bring."

"That……?"

"If it was a house like the one I live in now, the income from about a third of the comics would be more than enough."

"hiss……"

Sayaka's expression became dull, she tugged at Mitsuha's arm and murmured:

"Sanye, I seem to have found my purpose in life."

There was fire burning in the mushroom-headed girl's eyes, and she shouted:
"Teacher! Teacher Hojo Kyousuke! I want to draw comics!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Miyamizu Mitsuha laughed out loud without hesitation.

"What? I finally found something I wanted to do, why are you laughing at me like that, Sanye?"

Sayaka woke up from her fantasy of money and yelled in dissatisfaction.

Before Miyamizu Mitsuha could say anything, the imperial envoy who was also fantasizing suddenly laughed out loud:

"Hahahaha, Sayaka, your art grades haven't been as good as mine since junior high school. What are you daydreaming about?"

His delayed laughter caused tons of damage to Sayaka, and the girl started to beat him up.

"It hurts..."

Hojo Kyosuke also wanted to laugh. At this moment, he missed Mitsuha's body so much. If he was still in Mitsuha's body, he could laugh at Sayaka without restraint. But he is now a respected Hojo teacher. If he did that, it would be a blow to Sayaka. Alas... It is so painful that he cannot laugh at Sayaka as he pleases.

"Ahem, actually I think it's pretty good."

He thought for a moment and said.

"Huh? Really!"

Sayaka exclaimed, leaning forward to look at Hojo-sensei expectantly.

"Well, let me think about it... By the way, Sayaka, just draw your daily life. I think it will be very interesting."

"My daily routine?"

"Well, it's just like Doraemon. For example, you want to open a coffee shop at first, and then go to the coffee shop every day to study and learn, but you get tired of coffee and cake, so you give up this dream. Then you want to be a broadcaster, and you dream about becoming a celebrity for a long time, but you find that you can become a broadcaster as long as you register an account on the Internet, so you give up this dream..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had already burst into laughter, continued:

"Then, Sayaka, you wanted to draw a comic, but you found that the plot you had worked so hard to come up with was not as interesting as your daily life, so you gave up on it..."

"Ahhh, I won't give up!"

Sayaka screamed madly, one by one, everyone was laughing at her!

"Finally, at the end of the finale, Sayaka finally found a dream she wanted to devote her life to."

Miyamizu Yotsuba spoke.

As expected, Yotsuba is the best. Sayaka looked at her good friend with emotion.

"Saayaka arrives at the Yotsuba Shrine, which has long been the best shrine in the country, and becomes a shrine maiden. The play ends."

Yotsuba smiled happily.

"No, no, no, this kind of ending isn't dramatic at all. Comics can't be this boring!"

The imperial envoy shook his head vigorously; he couldn't bear to see Yotsuba happy.

"It should be changed to when Sayaka made up her mind to serve the gods for life, the chief priest of the shrine, Miyamizu Yotsuba, was kicked out of the shrine for embezzling the incense money of the believers, so she simply announced to give up this dream. Well, this is good, this kind of comics can't have an ending, and can be drawn forever."

The envoy nodded with satisfaction.

"Nonsense, the shrine is mine, and the donations from believers are my money. How can this be called corruption? You know nothing, bald head, stop talking nonsense!"

Yotsuba said angrily, this guy has been starting his sentences with "our family shrine" since he was very young, he really loves running a shrine.

As long as she wasn't alone with the Imperial Envoy, Sayaka's temper was indeed very good. Facing her good friends' teasing, she just muttered:
"Why must I end up being a shrine maiden? I'm not as pretty as Mitsuha, so I wouldn't be popular even if I became a shrine maiden."

"That's not the point. The point is that if this is the case, you in the comics can live forever."

Although the imperial envoy is a straight man, after being a boyfriend for so many years, he has learned some techniques to coax his girlfriend.

As expected, Sayaka was fooled and said happily, "Huh? It seems pretty good."

Seeing her good friend so easily accept the dream that everyone planned for her, Mitsuha Miyamizu said while holding back her laughter:
"The name of the manga should be "Sayaka's One-Day Dream"."

Sayaka clapped her hands happily and said, "Inner and inner, really good! It sounds like a popular comic!"

"Well...when the time comes I can help you hand it over to the editor after you draw it."

The honest man Hojo Kyosuke felt a little guilty because he knew that Sayaka definitely didn't have the talent. But he changed his mind and thought that this wasted time and abandoned dream was nothing to Sayaka.

So Sayaka asked more about the comics industry. To be honest, she didn't read comics at all, so her questions were all kid-like questions.

"Hojo, have you ever met a beautiful editor? I heard that many cartoonists have romances with their editors."

"No, my comics and novel editors are all middle-aged bald uncles. And if there are couples in the industry, it is mostly the male editors who take action against the female cartoonists. Because of their profession, female cartoonists are usually more innocent, and the editors may want to urge for updates for the convenience of urging them to update. Well... I don't know, I just said it casually."

"Have any fans confessed their love to you? Probably a lot, right? There are a lot of them among my college classmates..."

"What kind of questions are you asking? Move aside and let me take over."

The imperial envoy had heard enough gossip, so he pushed his girlfriend's head away and started asking about various industry secrets.

Regardless of what could be said or not, Hojo Kyosuke generously told them everything. After hearing that Sayaka's one-day dream had turned into a one-minute dream, she announced on the spot that she had given up.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very good, and the strange feeling of not seeing good friends for a few months disappeared. Sayaka and the envoy even felt that they and Hojo Kyosuke were good friends who had been together for a long time, and there was always a sense of familiarity when chatting.

The car was not driving fast, and Sayaka looked out the open window at the bustling city.

She exclaimed repeatedly because she had to lie on the ground to see the top of the building.

"There are more people in this building than in the entire Itomori Town combined, right?" She excitedly shared her new discovery with her good friend.

There are more people in one building than in a town?

The science genius Hojo Kyosuke and the fake genius Mitsuha Miyamizu looked outside at the same time and began to do mental arithmetic silently.

"It really is……"

Miyamizu Mitsuha suddenly widened her eyes and murmured in disbelief.

"Amazing!"

Miyamizu Yotsuba's eyes widened, and the following scene popped up in her head:

The entire Itosu people lined up to enter the building, and then never came out. She stood at the door of the building and shouted: Why are there so few people? Too few, too few, both people and incense money are too few! The gods are going to be angry! Give me more children! Everyone, go make money and have children, and donate more incense money!
The envoy was also shocked by his girlfriend's amazing wisdom and said in amazement:
"There are buildings like this in Nara, too. Why didn't you think of this then?"

“Can the buildings in Tokyo and Nara be the same?”

Sayaka retorted.

"Too."

The imperial envoy actually accepted this statement very easily.

Alpha stopped on the side of the road and the driver went to find a parking space by himself.

The imperial envoy looked at the various delicious foods on the street and said in his heart:
"Sanye, do you still remember the farmer's son who was knocked down by your punch? At that time, his car was the best in the town, but now any car on the street is better than his."

"Knocked down by one punch from me?" Sanye was a little confused.

"Is it the Infiniti? That's just the most basic entry-level model, not a good car at all."

Hojo Kyosuke spoke with a smile, and Mitsuha finally remembered. Yes, that was the beginning of her being called the divine priestess.

"Huh? How do you know?" The envoy was stunned.

Someone smiled and said nothing. He would not say that he had once planned to smash someone's car in the middle of the night as revenge.

"Come to think of it, I don't know how that guy is doing now?" the girl asked curiously. After the disaster, she only cared about the ordinary townspeople.

"His farm bought insurance, so not only did he not lose money, he actually made a lot of money. But I heard that he lost all his money later on in the stock market, and even sold his Infiniti. What a pity, that was a great car, and it dodged the comet but not the stock market."

The imperial envoy shook his head and sighed.

"I have an Acura NSX at home. If you are interested, I will take you to see it later." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

"Hmm?? Is it the first generation?"

The envoy immediately shouted that no man could resist this temptation. (End of this chapter)
