Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 88 Customs of Moving to a New Home

Tokyo, Akasaka, Minato Ward.

Before today, this place was roughly equivalent to Kaiming High School for Aoyama Risa; now, this map has finally opened a corner of itself to him.

“We’ll be living here from now on,” said Aoyama Risa.

The snow-white stone walls, the two-story Japanese-style wooden house, the eaves and black tiles are the exterior of the old house, but it also has a modern sophistication.

A small courtyard with a pond, trees, flowers, and pebbles.

The back door leads to the garage, from which you can directly enter the house.

It wasn't as big as Aoyama had imagined, but it was big enough. If it were any bigger, even with ten people in the family, there would probably be rooms that were not used.

Besides, once it gets bigger, there will be property taxes and maintenance fees.
The nameplates for 'Aoyama and Ono' are already hanging on the front door.

The Ono sisters did not go in immediately.

Aoyama Rika stood aside, quietly waiting for them to feel the emotions at this moment.

This feeling may only come once in a lifetime. Even if I move to a bigger and better house in the future, I will never feel this kind of emotion again.

"Go in?" he asked tentatively after a while.

"Ok!"

Aoyama Risa was in charge of carrying the heavy luggage; the three poor high school students' heavy belongings were basically just books.

Once inside, the three of them walked along the stone path in the center of the house.

There are several rings of soil among the pebbles, making them look like islands in the sea. On these "islands" are ancient-looking pine trees and crabapple trees.

"What's in the pond?" Ono Mizuki asked curiously.

"Let's go take a look," Aoyama Risa said with a smile.

So the three of them put down their luggage and squatted down by the pond.

"Sister, look! There are fish! There are fish!" Ono Mizuki grabbed Ono Mika with one hand and pointed at the carp in the water with the other.

Ono Mika nodded with a smile.

"These fish are so fat!" Ono Mizuki exclaimed happily.

There are six koi in the pond;

Sweet flag is planted along the edge of the pond, and ground lights are installed.
There is also a wooden bridge over the pond, big enough for one person to stand on.

After watching for a while, Ono Mika said, "Hurry up and get ready, we still need to cook soba noodles."

Japanese people eat soba noodles on important holidays.

The three of them stood up.

"It's already dark," Ono Mizuki said instinctively.

Before they knew it, the sky had turned indigo, and all the ground lights in the courtyard were lit, allowing Qingshan to release the Kongming lanterns.

"Does it have to be on all night? How much electricity does that use?" Mika Ono asked, feeling sorry for the light.

"One, two, three," Ono Mizuki began counting the lights.

Aoyama Risa couldn't help but laugh.

He put his left arm around Mika Ono's shoulder and his right arm around Mizuki Ono's shoulder—she was too short.

"You two have way too little faith in me! I'm sure I can write another novel like 'Detective A,' so the three of us can live a comfortable life on the royalties!"

"Hmph, if your second book is just as good as this, I'll give you a back rub!" Ono Mizuki promised.

"Sister Meihua, what about you?"

“Me?” Mika Ono laughed.

"Give me a back rub, or I'll give you a back rub, you choose one."

"You pervert!" Mizuki Ono cursed. "I promised I'd be wearing clothes when I scrub your back!"

“In that case, I’ll also give you a back rub,” Ono Mika said with a smile.

"Getting excited!" Aoyama Risa cracked his knuckles as he walked toward his luggage.

The three of them went into the house.

This house, which could be called a small mansion, has a total of eight rooms, some modern and some Japanese style.

Its exterior is as new as a new house, without any signs of oldness, decay, or damage.

From the rooms on the second floor, you can see part of the roof on the first floor; the layers of black roof tiles are reminiscent of dragon scales.

“Such a nice house, spending 300,000 yen a month to maintain it doesn’t seem like much,” Aoyama Ryo remarked.

The Ono sisters felt the same way, though only a little.

"I wish there was no property tax." Mizuki Ono kept thinking about this.

"Don't dwell on things that can't be helped, just enjoy yourself—start choosing a room!" Aoyama Risa's tone became more enthusiastic.

There are eight rooms in total, three of which are considered better. Aoyama Ritsu and Ono Mika chose first. Ono Mika preferred a room on the first floor that overlooked the yard.

Ono Mizuki likes the innermost room on the second floor, saying she wants to hide herself there.

Aoyama Rika chose the room closest to the main entrance, fulfilling his responsibility as a home security guard and keeping watch over the house to the very end.

After choosing their rooms, the three of them went back to their rooms and quickly unpacked their luggage.

As Aoyama Osamu sat at his desk organizing his books, Ono Mika, who lived next door, walked in.

“Is it okay that this bedroom isn’t big?” she asked.

“I feel more at ease living in the smaller room. Besides, Sister Meihua, you left your old home here. If I get used to living in the big bedroom, it will be very painful to move back in the future.”

Mika Ono placed her right fist on his head and then gave him a gentle push.

Aoyama Risa laughed: "This room is great. It overlooks the yard. When I get tired of studying and writing, I just look out the window."

"I'm glad you like it." Mika Ono helped him hang up his clothes.

Boys are just not careful enough. Clothes should be hung up immediately, otherwise they'll get wrinkled.

"Are we going shopping later?" Aoyama asked. "And maybe some snacks to treat them tomorrow."

"Okay."

Aoyama arranged the books and charged his notebook and phone.

After tidying everything up, Ono Mika was still not done, so he didn't go to help her. He just sat there and watched her tidy her clothes.

Mika Ono changed into a hoodie, revealing a slender and delicate figure, with her occasional glimpses of her profile captivatingly beautiful.

It evokes a sense of warmth, like reading a book at home with the lights on on a dark, rainy day.

"Sister Meihua."

"Ok?"

What are your views on love?

"Love?" Ono Mika glanced back at him, then rolled up her socks and put them in the compartment.

"I heard that dating is an elective in junior high school and a compulsory subject in senior high school."

"Who told you that?" Mika Ono asked with a smile.

"Do you have someone you like at school?" Aoyama asked.

"No. Besides, even if you do have one during your senior year of high school, you have to give it up. How can an immature relationship compare to your future?"

"That's a very mature consideration." Aoyama nodded in agreement.

"What about you? Do you have someone you like at school?" Mika Ono countered.

"I like you, Mika-nee, but unfortunately, you're not planning on dating," Aoyama Risa said with a smile, her arms behind her head.

After packing her clothes, Ono Mika flicked Aoyama Risa's forehead hard with her finger before leaving.

"It hurts~"

Mika Ono walked out of Osamu Aoyama's room, clenching her fist as she headed towards the kitchen, her face filled with regret.

Although she knew Aoyama was joking, she could also "joke" and test each other's limits!
Meet Shang Ai, the four members of the Sunny Day Band, and a woman hiding in the shadows;
Now I don't need to work, and I don't need to be too stressed while studying in my second year of high school;
It's very possible that Aoyama Ryo will suddenly start dating someone of the opposite sex.

Major relationship crisis!
What are Aoyama Osamu's true thoughts about the relationship between the three of them?
They are not his biological siblings, but blood ties are not important; what matters is how he views the relationship.

Let's find an opportunity to test the waters!

At 7 p.m., the three of them left home, preparing to go to a nearby large shopping mall for a big shopping trip.

The pebbles in the courtyard gleamed in the moonlight, and the ground lamps seemed to float on the sea.

“I just looked into the bathroom,” Mika Ono said. “The stone-built bathtub is quite large.”

"Boiling water must use a lot of gas, right?" Ono Mizuki started to feel sorry for herself again, after all, she was the goddess in charge of the bathroom.

"Since it's so big, how about the three of us take a shower together tonight?" Aoyama Risa suggested with a smile, his hands in his pockets.

“Okay.” Mika Ono nodded.

"Sister?!" Ono Mizuki looked at her.

"You can't see anything when the lights are off, and do you remember? When Li first moved into our house, the three of us took a shower together."

“But we’re all grown up now!” Ono Mizuki protested.

“No matter how old we are, we’re still family.” Mika Ono felt her face turning red. “Besides, you can’t see anything with the lights off. If we could see, of course it would be fine!”

"Let's go home and see what happens," Mizuki Ono pouted.

So, if she really can't see it, she's planning to agree?

Aoyama Ri: "."

Now, if I say it's a joke and refuse the offer, won't they feel like I don't consider them family?
