Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 329 There are many things you can do while taking a bath.

That evening, while Aoyama Rika was taking a bath, Ono Mizuki approached Ono Mika and brought up their conversation from earlier that day.

"Sister, do you like Brother Li?" she asked.

"Hmm?" Ono Mika, who was doing her homework, smiled in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly brought this up.

In fact, she was affected by this issue, but she didn't show it.

Did Mizuki discover anything?

"Do you like it?" Ono Mizuki continued to ask.

"What about you, Mizuki? I asked you in Fukuoka, but you haven't answered me yet," Ono Mika asked with a smile.

“There’s a classic line from a TV drama,” Mizuki Ono chuckled playfully, “{Answering a question with a question is the key point}, right?”

It seems like they really want her to like Aoyama Ryou?
Mika Ono smiled wryly: "Even Steve Jobs' famous quote—'Is there any other reason to live?'—is sometimes wrong. How can TV drama lines always be accurate?"

"Sister, if you like someone, you must take the initiative!"

"Am I taking the initiative?"

"Sister, please don't change the subject. Please tell me, do you like it or not?" Ono Mizuki stared at her.

"Tell me first, why are you asking this question?"

Ono Mizuki's face turned serious for the first time. She glanced in the direction of the bathroom and confirmed that Aoyama Risa was not there.

"I saw Senior Sister Shang Ai, and she seems to like Brother Li," she said softly.

Ono Mika nodded.

"Hmm?" Her nonchalant attitude puzzled Ono Mizuki.

Mika Ono said, "Not only Ai Mikami, but also Yaeko Miyayo, including the members of the Sunny Day Band, Elsa Amamiya, and Sawa Amakusa, they all like Ri.

"But Senior Sister Shang Ai is different!"

"What's different?" Ono Mika always spoke very gently, as if tickling someone.

"She's just as pretty as Miyako-senpai, but she has no grudge against us, and she's always alone with Ri-ge in the same classroom. It's dangerous!"

"No, not at all," Mika Ono said with a smile.

If Aoyama Osamu hasn't said he likes her, and she hasn't proposed a 'three-way relationship' plan, it's quite worrying.

But now, since Aoyama Ryo has been to her room every night, it's impossible for him to have anything to do with Aoi anymore.

She has confidence in Aoyama Ryo in this regard.

That being said, if possible, Ono Mika still hopes that the two of them will not be alone in a room.

Ono Mizuki couldn't understand why her older sister wasn't worried at all.

"Sister, you still haven't answered me directly, do you like Brother Li?" she continued to press.

This is the most important question.

Ono Mika didn't know how to answer.

like?

What if Mizuki also likes Aoyama Rin?
dislike?
If Mizuki and Aoyama Rika start dating, and then later discover that her older sister was already with Aoyama Rika, wouldn't she feel betrayed by her closest relatives?

"I don't want to think about any of that right now," Mika Ono could only say. "Right now, all I want to do is get into the University of Tokyo."

Ono Mizuki thought it made sense and that it suited Ono Mika's personality.

If it were her, and she were in the second semester of her senior year of high school, she would also put everything aside and focus on the exam, regardless of whether her family has money or not.

Having grown up without parents, they need more support than others to feel at ease and enjoy life.

Aoyama Osamu's novel royalties can only be considered one pillar—Aoyama Osamu himself is of course an indispensable foundation.

“Okay.” Ono Mizuki nodded.

Then all she could do was keep an eye on Aoyama Rika and Mikami Ai for Ono Mika, making sure nothing happened between them.

Everything will be discussed after Mika Ono finishes her university entrance exams, which is next March.

"Mizuki, do you like ri?" Ono Mika asked.

"I don't like it," Ono Mizuki replied.

".real?"

"Yes." Ono Mitsuki nodded firmly.

While Ono Mizuki was taking a bath, Ono Mika told Aoyama Osamu about it.

“She didn’t give me a clear answer back in Fukuoka, but I felt she probably liked you. I don’t know what’s wrong with her now,” Mika Ono said, puzzled.

“It’s my fault.” Aoyama Rina knew why.

"What's wrong?" Mika Ono asked immediately.

Don't be fooled by her aloofness and claims that she can only be with Meiyue if she's with Meiyue; in reality, she wants to be with both of them.

If they can't be together, she'll be just as sad, even more so than Aoyama Osamu.

"I kissed her cheek twice, and I was very close to the corner of her mouth. It must be because of this that she felt there was something wrong with me and therefore disliked me."

This problem does exist.

A man and woman were getting along well, but their relationship suddenly broke down because the man couldn't control himself and tried to kiss her forcefully.

“If that’s the case, I’m partly to blame. I told you that whatever you could do to Mizuki, you could do the same to me, which is why you did it,” Ono Mika comforted her.

She felt extremely guilty.

"Sister Meihua, don't worry, I won't give up. The three of us will always be together!" Aoyama Risa said with unprecedented determination.

Mika Ono, however, was not so confident.

Looking at Aoyama Rin's face, she was surprised to find that Ono Mizuki's determination was almost identical to Aoyama Rin's.

It seems that Mizuki Ono really doesn't like Osamu Aoyama?
I'm having some difficulty breathing.

What should I do?
If Ono Mizuki doesn't like Aoyama Osamu, can she have Aoyama Osamu all to herself?
No, no, it has to be all three of us!!

Ono Mika smiled and kissed Aoyama Risa on the cheek: "Good luck~"

If before I was still encouraging myself and there was still some gloom in my heart, now that I'm calming my mind, the clouds have parted and the fog has dissipated.

Mika Ono supports herself!

So he had no reason not to do it, and no reason not to succeed. Two out of the three people agreed, so how could he not do it? How could he not succeed?
With a firm resolve, the next step is action.

The first step is to find out who Ono Mizuki likes.

The range is very wide; it could be Ono Mizuki's classmate, a senior, or even her former junior high school classmate.

It could even be a stranger you happen to meet.

It's difficult to conduct an investigation, but Aoyama Osamu had long ago learned the principle of 'not thinking about how difficult the problem itself is, but doing it step by step'.

Friday, September 23rd, a new round of training camp begins.

That evening, as the three of them chatted in the large living room on the 30th floor of the dormitory, he made a small request to Miyako Yaeko.

"Information on all teachers and students? What do you need that for?" Miyako asked rhetorically.

"To gather material." Aoyama Risa used this universal excuse after a long time.

Ai Mikami, who was checking the storyboards, glanced up and became wary of anything Aoyama Risa might do under the guise of 'source gathering' in the future.

"Got inspiration for a new novel?" Miyako asked, munching on a nine-compartment fruit slice. The portion wasn't large, but the variety was plentiful.

[Talent: Nutrition Chart] You'll definitely love it.

"To say I have inspiration wouldn't be accurate, but I can at least do some preparation," said Aoyama Risa.

"I can't give it to you."

"why?"

"What kind of boss sells employee and customer information?" Miyako asked him.

“I will not do anything bad, and I will absolutely not let them realize that I am writing about themselves,” Aoyama Osamu assured.

"For example, 'Detective A' and 'The Girl Who Rules the World'?" Miyako Yaeko pointed out his long list of past offenses.

"I won't make them the main characters."

"The problem isn't whether it's obvious or not, but that leaking information is wrong in itself."

Seeing that Ai couldn't stand it anymore, she gave Aoyama a suggestion: "Just let her state her conditions."

"You're helping him?" Miyako asked Aoi.

Then, as if remembering something, she said, "The third book is yours, no wonder."

"Name your terms!" Aoyama Risa raised his voice slightly, drawing the three people's attention back to the matter at hand.

Miyako Yaeko smiled as she ate fruit. The living room fell silent for a moment.

"First--"

Aoyama Ryo breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he made his demands, everything was negotiable.

Hold on.

Aren't we friends? Why do you always have to impose conditions?

That said, as a friend, it wasn't very loyal of him to ask the other party to sell information about employees (teachers) and clients (students).

"—What you just said, we can't do bad things, and we can't let the person find out," said Miyako Yaeko.

"It should."

Whether or not they will actually collect information is still uncertain. Aoyama Rina took the information booklet because she wanted to see if the person Ono Mizuki liked was open-minded.

Even when he does seek material, he will be careful, and he will make changes even if it compromises the perfection of the novel; this is his principle.

"Secondly, the student council is too busy. Starting tomorrow, we will help out on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays."

"That filming"

Miyako Yaeko picked up a pineapple with a fork: "That's exactly what I wanted to do."

Interfering with filming, preventing the sale of 10,000 copies of "Kimi no Ai," and occupying the Athens Philosophy Research Department—this was indeed the result that Miyako Yaeko wanted.

“My studies… Fine, I agree. I’ll help you out a little so you have more time to study and try to get first place. I’m on your side in this matter,” said Aoyama Rido.

“I don’t have that idea,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"You wouldn't even dare to think about it?" See iAsk.

“If I become number one, wouldn’t Aoyama be standing with you?” Miyako Yaeko laughed. “I’d rather be number two.”

"Naive." Seeing that Ai continued checking the storyboard.

“Third,” Miyako Yaeko said, looking at Aoyama Risa, “the massage is quite effective. Continue it in the future.”

Each massage session lasts two hours, and I get one every Saturday.

Right now, with exams and cultural festival preparations to make, two hours is very tight.

But Aoyama Risa didn't think it was a waste of time.

It wasn't because I could touch Miyako Yaeko's youthful and alluring body, but because my [Massage D] level was significantly improving.

Massage can improve family happiness, and he is happy to practice this skill.

“A minor issue,” he said. “Anything else?”

"Just these three."

Aoyama Rika can accept it.

He obtained the information booklet for all teachers and students of Kaiming High School.

In addition to name, gender, height, weight, grades, resume, and dreams, there are various evaluations—from oneself, teachers, parents, and classmates.

This is definitely information that cannot be shown to others.

That evening, the three of them returned to their respective rooms.

Aoyama Rika sent the message to Mikami Ai, who then called back with a voice message.

“If you want my help, it won’t be for free,” she said.

“I couldn’t find this person. Mizuki is with him, and this person just happens to be a complete idiot who throws his socks around everywhere. Mizuki’s happiness for life has been ruined, all because you refused to help.” Aoyama said as he searched.

"You mean I bear some responsibility for Mizuki's happiness?" Ai asked with a smile.

"Can we stop scheming against each other?" Aoyama Rijin was speechless.

"I've gotten to page ten, how about you?"

"I'm on page eleven." Actually, it's page eight.

Lying wasn't enough; Aoyama Risa added, "Look closely!"

He was speechless, which might not only be true for him, but also for Jian Shangai sometimes.

The two began their search.

“Height requirement: 170cm or shorter,” said Aoyama Risa.

"Too tall, below 168cm."

"168"

"You're tall, Meiyue doesn't like you."

"I didn't say anything." Aoyama Rima didn't intend to say anything.

"Besides, his studies should be pretty good, probably in the top fifty in the whole school." See Ai Dao.

"I have something to say about this—you know that being in the top fifty isn't bad?!"

"Number 34, it's one thing if your grades are bad, but if you don't take your work seriously and like to chat, even I can't save you."

"You will be punished if you meet someone you love."

"Yes, the man I married at twenty-seven was a perverted coward who liked twin sisters when he was young."

"You'd better watch out, or I'll become even more of a pervert!"

"Please, Mr. Aoyama, don't go any further!" Seeing that Shang Ai's acting was completely unconvincing, she even burst out laughing.

"late!"

"Stop smelling your own socks!"

"Couldn't you think of me as a little more twisted?! Why am I such a pathetic coward even when I'm twisted?!"

"Then what do you want?" Jian Shangai, who had just been begging for mercy, now spoke with a tone that said, 'This man is really hard to please.'

“I’m not taking a bath!” said Aoyama Risa.

"Don't give up so quickly. Maybe you can get married before you turn twenty-seven?" Jian Shang Ai advised.

"I'm not changing my underwear yet."

Seeing that Ai seemed to have never even considered such a thing: "Not changing underwear."

“You’ll get sick right away!” said Aoyama Risa.

"I'd rather see for myself."

The two chatted and gathered information, eventually identifying six people.

Three are in first grade, two are in second grade, and one is in third grade.

"Why are you on the list too?" Jian Ai asked, puzzled.

One of the two second-year students is Aoyama Rina.

Aoyama Rido: "Do you think it's possible—"

"No way." Seeing Ai's tone, it was decisive and cold, like an ice pick piercing into Aoyama Risa's chest.

In the end, there were five people in total.

"Should we question each of these five people?" Aoyama asked.

“No need,” said Ai. “When the drama club performs, if these five people go, pay attention to the way Mizuki looks at them—you can’t hide the way someone likes you.”

"Eye contact? I don't know much about that, could you explain it to me in more detail?"

"You don't need to understand. When Mizuki looks at someone and makes you jealous, that's the look of affection in her eyes."

"No to that kind of thing!!"

"You're hopeless, pull yourself together!" Seeing that Shang Ai was so young, she seemed exhausted from being a mother.

She continued, "These five people are just key individuals under observation; it doesn't mean the target is among them."

“I understand, and I won’t let Mizuki’s ticket recipients get away with it either!” Aoyama Rie said.

"Keep an eye on her junior high school classmates who come to see her performance, as well as Mizuki's class activities."

"I will kill any man who dares to approach within 500 meters of her!"

"Can you be serious for once? What's the point of saying such meaningless things? I advise you to calm down as soon as possible. Only by facing reality can one move forward."

After hanging up the phone, I saw that Shang Ai had a slight case of insomnia.

I thought the temperature would drop a bit after the recent rain, so I put on a thicker blanket, but it was still very hot at night.

Why doesn't this room have a temperature control system?
