Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 53: One day, 61 days until the Koshien preliminary rounds

At four o'clock, Aoyama Risa woke up.

Was she completely conscious because of the novel? Or was she afraid of waking the Ono sisters beside her?

He carefully got up, stepped over the two sisters who were sleeping in terrible positions, and left the room.

Back in my bedroom, I took off my workout clothes and did slow push-ups and wall squats one after another.

The only sound in the room was panting.

One, two, three.
Ten reps and I felt tired; after thirty-five, my muscles started to feel fatigued; fifty reps and I reached my limit.

Fifty-three, and no matter how much you want to continue, your body won't cooperate.

Previously, guided by the system, I worked for two whole hours without stopping, full of motivation like human desire.

Aoyama Risa did not force himself; he stopped to rest for a while before resuming training.

Half an hour later, he went to take a shower, covered in sweat. He didn't run into Ono Mika or Ono Mizuki today.

After taking a shower, he changed into his school uniform, sat down at a low table, took out paper and pen, and began writing his novel.

A world of boundless imagination and exquisite detail is born on the manuscript paper.

The door suddenly opened, and a sweet little face popped in: "Brother, dinner's ready!"

"Just come!"

"Your room stinks!" The door slammed shut.

Aoyama Risa smiled. He usually opened the window to ventilate the room after exercising, but he forgot today because he was writing his novel.

He stood up, opened the window, and came out with his manuscript paper.

"Here you go." He handed the manuscript to the two sisters and sat down.

"what is this?"

"There's more to this story?!"

After taking a bite of the leftover stew, Aoyama Rihan jokingly advised, "Hurry up and eat, you have to go to school later."

Too late.

The two sisters have been hypnotized by the novel.

After watching it, Ono Mizuki watched it again.

Mika Ono then said to Risa Aoyama, "Riri, it's perfectly fine, just like the previous ones, absolutely fantastic!"

Of course, Aoyama Rika knew this, but to Ono Mika, who was unaware of the system, she might think that Aoyama Rika herself was also worried about whether she could maintain her level.

She was comforting and encouraging him.

"Let's buy a house and go on a trip!" Aoyama Risa laughed as he ate heartily. Whether it's physical exercise or mental exertion, it all consumes a lot of energy.

Happiness can sometimes make you have a big appetite.

The three of them went out happily.

The sky was azure, the leaves were lush and green, and roses bloomed in the flowerbeds.

In the last week of April, their spring seemed to truly arrive.

Once on the train, Ono Mika said, "Rin, remember to give the new information to the junior students, Kagami and Miyase."

Aoyama nodded with a smile: "They are the publishers and sponsors, I can't let them down."

"Let's buy a house close to school, Onii-chan, lend me your phone~"

"Mizuki, you're just as disgusting as I am."

"Shut up, give it to me!"

"Yes!"

Mizuki Ono started searching for real estate information, completely oblivious to the swaying tram, her focus as intense as when she was reading a manuscript.

Aoyama protected her petite body, turning her into a roly-poly toy.

Mika Ono smiled and looked at the two of them: "You two, no matter how much you daydream, you can't forget about studying!"

“Sister Mika, you too,” Aoyama Risa said with a smile.

Mika Ono, annoyed, raised her hand as if to punch him.

The tram suddenly swayed, and Ono Mika's hand landed on Aoyama Risa, turning from a fist into a support.

"Excuse me, please don't push, my feet are about to leave the ground!" Aoyama Risa raised her voice slightly and said to the people nearby.

The surrounding space became slightly more spacious, but only for ten seconds before returning to normal.

Aoyama Risa didn't mind. He only spoke up because he was in a good mood and wanted to make a lighthearted joke about life.

The closer you get to Kaiming High School, the more people you'll see wearing the same school uniform. When you're surrounded by people wearing the same clothes, you've arrived.

People wearing student council armbands patrolled the school gate with an imposing air, as if the school were a prison and the student council were prison guards.

As you enter the campus, you can hear the sounds of sports clubs on the playground.

"start running!"

"You can't even catch a ball like that? Get off the bench! Funagoshi, it's your turn!"

Passing by the baseball stadium, I noticed a banner had appeared on the fence sometime during the game, reading, "61 days until the Koshien preliminary rounds." —System, Novel, High School Baseball Koshien
[Koshien Stadium has been established, 1%]

Forget it.

With the experience gained from the first novel, it will be easier to continue writing mystery or shoujo novels.

—A system, a novel, about two beautiful high school girls who compete and grow together on campus.

[Insufficient intelligence and energy led to failure]

Does this mean someone has low intelligence and kidney deficiency?
However, insulting the system was useless, so Aoyama pretended not to hear it.

Is it because the novels I'm writing are too complex, or because I've reached my limit in terms of quantity?

The shouts from the track and field team reached my ears.

—System, Novel, High School Track and Field Club
[Insufficient intelligence and energy led to failure]

It seems that with his current intelligence and energy, he can only draw inspiration from a maximum of four novels at the same time: 'Fitness', 'Street Romance in School', 'Kendo Jade Dragon Flag', and 'Koshien'.

The story about 'campus mystery, main ability is beauty' has been researched and is not needed.

He instinctively wanted to delete 'Koshien', but hesitated before issuing the command.

'Koshien' is indeed useless, but it fits his identity. The word that should be removed is 'fitness'.

The project I casually decided on when I was doing the experiment, upon closer reflection, was actually quite abrupt for a high school student with no prior fitness experience.

Moreover, 'fitness' is mainly based on systems. Putting aside whether the system's guidance is suitable for other people, is the fitness method involved in the system really suitable to be made public?
If someone accidentally becomes too effective or too powerful, is there a risk of exposure?

—System, delete the 'fitness' material.

[Deleted]

As I walked into the teaching building and changed my shoes at the shoe locker, the faint sounds of the wind instrument practice drifted through the air.

—System, Novel, Brass Band
[A 'Wind Performance Club' has been established, with 1% and 2% of members.]

Let's give up on this one too.

However, it was not deleted immediately.

For now, Aoyama will put Koshien and the brass band on hold. He can change them later when he comes up with a better idea.

Where did you go on Sunday?

"Don't even mention it, I'm in tutoring from morning till night."

"I've been busy with club activities."

"Have you watched that TV series? It's so exciting, I even cried while watching it!"

The students chatted idly in the classroom until their homeroom teacher, Akita Shio, walked in.

She looked everyone over and asked with a smile, "Did everyone have a good Sunday?"

"happy!"

"I'm unhappy~"

"How could I possibly be happy without Akita-sensei!"

"Matsumura!"

After a while of laughter and commotion, Akita Shio clasped her hands together, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Next, we'll begin the class meeting," she said. "You all probably know about the monthly exams this week. They're on Thursday and Friday, and we'll have a holiday right after that."

The classroom erupted in commotion.

Some did it for the holiday, others because of exams.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Akita Shio clapped her hands three times to keep everyone quiet. "There's one more thing, which is the rest period for Golden Week. It's May 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th."

"Oh!" the students cheered.

"But! Starting from May 4th, we have to come to school every afternoon to prepare for the ball skills competition! The ball skills competition is on May 6th, which is the last day of the holiday."

"How could this be?"

“Fraud!”

"I'm going to report this 'enlightened' policy to the Ministry of Education!"

"Idiot, 'enlightened' is a private school!"

"Study hard for your exams, have fun during your holidays, and enjoy the ball games to the fullest!" Akita Shiozaki encouraged.

Aoyama Ryo had never been interested in school activities before, but after reading an A-grade mystery novel, he wanted to read more A-grade novels that were just as captivating.

To write a novel like this, firsthand experience is essential.

Enjoy life, write novels, and make money all at the same time.

"Aoyama-kun, everyone has to play once in the ball skills tournament. What event do you plan to participate in?" the basketball girl sitting in the protagonist's seat asked quietly.

The competitive sports are volleyball and basketball, while the recreational sports are baseball and table tennis.

"Baseball, I guess," Aoyama said uncertainly.

The reason is simple: it's a fun project, and it also reflects the [Koshien: 1%] he built while casting a wide net.
