Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 75 Saying to Love: Thank you

"If I see my classmate, can we chat?" Aoyama Risa asked.

See the band "Love Across Arms, Gazing at the Sunny Sky".

On the other side of this bridge

If it's joy, it means summer is coming.

Her fingers tapped lightly in rhythm.

It seems they weren't listening to him.

Aoyama Ryo opened his lips, but in the end, he picked up the half-finished cola and swallowed his words.

The ice melted, and the cola, with little fizz, was bland and tasteless.

After singing for a while, Ono Mizuki ran over and gulped down some water.

Seeing that Shang Ai took out a wet wipe and handed it to her.

"Thank you for meeting you, senior~" Ono Mizuki smiled sweetly, wiping the sweat from her snow-white forehead.

"You two are such good singers? I never knew that before," Aoyama Risa said with a smile.

"Do you think that living together will allow you to discover everything about the other person?" Ono Mizuki scoffed, seemingly implying that he was shallow.

"Mizuki, you should also watch out for your brother," Ai reminded him.

Sow discord?

Qiu Qingshan made a mental note of this.

[Love in Daily Life - Meet Ai, Miyase Yaeko: 85%]

—System, I have a grudge against her now, can't you tell?
[Should the 'Love Daily Life - Meet Ai, Miyase Yaeko' story be terminated?]

Let me think about it.
After thinking it over, I decided to write it down first, and if it's too straightforward, I'll keep it hidden.

"Thank you for meeting me, senior! Oh, and by the way, senior!" Ono Mizuki bowed deeply, her hands resting on her knees. "Thank you for the novel."

“It’s nothing.” Jian Shang’ai said gently, “I didn’t lose out in this deal; on the contrary, I made a lot of money.”

“It may not mean much to the senior, but to us it’s like a life-saving grace.”

“It’s not that exaggerated,” Aoyama said.

Even if there really was a life-saving grace, Miyako Yaeko should also share in it.

"Shut up!" Ono Mizuki glared at him.

She continued to say to Jian Shangai, "Senior, you don't understand the situation, you don't know how important this is to our family."

"Actually, my family is very poor. My sister has to work part-time every day, but she lost her job recently."

"It was because of my senior sister who made a deal with Brother Li before the novel was even published that we are living the life we ​​have now. I am truly grateful!"

Seeing the thoughtful look on Shang Ai's face, and then the expression that seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to begin.

She looked at Aoyama Ryo.

"The moon is beautiful tonight." Aoyama Ryo sipped his cola.

"Kuseine-sensei told you not to forget to look at the moon when you're studying, not to change the subject when you need to express gratitude. Come here and say thank you to the senior you meet!" Ono Mizuki tugged at him.

"No, no need. Actually—I didn't do anything special!" Unable to expose Aoyama Rin's true colors, Mikami Ai could only keep saying no.

Aoyama Risa was lazily pulled up by Ono Mizuki, a smile on her face.

"Thank you, see you, Shang Ai," he said, bowing.

He blushed deeply when he saw Shang Ai's face.

She, who was originally completely unrelated to cuteness, is now extremely cute.

Seeing how shy she was after being thanked, Ono Mizuki immediately took a liking to her.

"I'll go sing for a while longer to help my sister relieve some of the pressure!" But the excited expression on her face showed that she wanted to play even more.

Did you find the feeling of karaoke in a street performance?
Only Aoyama Risa and Mikami Ai remained by the pond.

This spot was dark and inconspicuous—Aoyama Ryo's rich life experience told him that if he stood in one spot for a long time, women would definitely come up to talk to him, which is why he chose this spot.

Seeing that Ai would stand by his side might also be for this reason.

"Um," the elegant girl said hesitantly, combing her hair, "you're in such a hurry to get the money because Senior Meihua lost her job and her family is broke?"

“I have some savings,” Aoyama Rido said.

"Can't last four months?"

“How could you not even last four months?” Aoyama Risa laughed.

"Then?" Jian Ai asked, puzzled. "What about the university? One student's tuition fee is more than our current savings."

Aoyama Ryo took a sip of his cola and continued:
"This isn't a matter of a few months; the key is 'persistence.' As long as life requires perseverance, Meihua will continue to look for work; Meiyue, who doesn't need to work, won't be able to fully enjoy school life."

“Meihua is already a senior in high school. Four months from now, no amount of money will be enough for her high school life.”

I saw Shang Ai and we didn't speak for a long time.

Although she racked her brains for the right words, she felt that whatever she said would make the other person feel that she was being frivolous.

"I'm sorry," she said finally.

"Why apologize?" Aoyama asked with a smile. "Besides, Mizuki is right, you have been kind to us."

"I can give you half of my part in 'Detective A'."

“Hmm~” Aoyama Ryou said while drinking his cola, “That’s enough. One novel is enough to live the life I have now. I don’t need anything more.”

"You're not going to accept my apology?"

"Why do I say that? I'm serious. I genuinely believe you don't owe me anything. But there's one thing I want to make clear: I really don't like you."

"."

"It's not that I dislike you. Like I said before, we're in an F relationship."

He remained silent upon seeing her.

After a while, she said, "Whether you accept it or not, I want to apologize to you for misunderstanding you."

“How about we offset each other?” Aoyama said with a smile. “You’ve helped me a lot before, including this equipment delivery. You’ve taken care of me in many ways. Of course, the 10,000 yen I owe you doesn’t count. I’ll pay you back when I get my allowance next week.”

He nodded silently to Shang Ai.

After explaining things clearly, Aoyama Ryo immediately felt a sense of relief, as if the air itself had become fresher, or as if a long-standing cold had suddenly been cured.

As it approached eight o'clock, the Sunny Day Band's performance ended.

After the audience had left, Aoyama Osamu walked over to the six of them and said, "You did your best! Great job! We did it!"

While wiping her sweat, Bess Sakurako said, "It feels like a perfunctory line I saw in some motivational book."

"Hey senior, emotional value should be given to each other to be sustainable, just like a transaction. It can't be that I give to you and you don't give to me!" Aoyama complained.

Everyone laughed.

The girls in the Sunny Day Band Club felt inexplicably happy.

Was it because it was her first performance? Or was it because she met the Ono sisters and Aoyama Osamu?

F-Lin thought that if they could write this joy into a song and convey it to the audience, then they would be the true Sunny Day Band.

The next moment, the girls' smiles faded slightly as they saw Ai walking over from a distance and standing next to Aoyama Risa.

The boy was sunny and carefree, while the girl was elegant and pure.

If the two of them smile and look at each other, even the most opinionated person would think they are a perfect match.

But the boy didn't even glance at the girl.

“Everyone has worked hard today,” he said to the crowd. “However, the battle has only just begun. Tonight’s video must be edited as soon as possible and handed over to the student council to try to persuade them to rescind their decision to abolish the department.”

"I'm so tired," F. Rino said, rubbing her shoulders.

“Yes, the performance lasted three and a half hours, and we have an exam tomorrow,” said Akika Isamu.

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, we have to finish the video tonight!" Drummer Mengshi raised his drumsticks high.

“The key is that none of us know how to edit videos. I do know a little bit about simple photo editing though,” Bess Sakura pondered.

“Leave it to me,” said Aoyama Risa.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.

“I’m the agent, handle miscellaneous tasks, logistics, event planning, and lyricist. What’s wrong with handing over editing to me?” Aoyama Osamu retorted.

“But,” Akika Gasai quickly said, “Aoyama-kun, you’ve also worked very hard.”

"I have an exam tomorrow," F. Rino said.

"I will act within my capabilities, don't worry," Aoyama Rika said with a slight smile.

In the past, Ai would have thought that Aoyama Ri was deliberately being gentle in order to have something happen between him and Sakurako and the others.

but now.
She looked at Ono Mika and Ono Mizuki.

It turns out that everything Aoyama Ryo did was for his family.

Before that, I... felt like leaving after seeing Ai.
