Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 104 Early

After staring at Mio's outstretched fingers for two seconds, Shiratori Seiya silently took out his phone and transferred the money.

Come to think of it, it was indeed time for me to transfer the money to her, and if you strictly count it as thirty days, she was actually quite patient.

'Buzz.'

Just one second after the bank card transfer was successfully notified, Mio Takahashi's cell phone rang in her trench coat pocket.

Mio Takahashi casually took out her phone, and when she saw the 50 yen transfer amount on the screen, she couldn't help but freeze in shock.

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection +1】

After the system notification sounded, Mio Takahashi's lips curled up slightly, her narrow eyes narrowed, and she let out a long, drawn-out sound, a half-smile playing on her lips:
"Hmm~ I didn't realize you were so concerned about saving face..."

She wore a new lip gloss today, and her lips were sparkly and eye-catching.

Shiratori Seiya stared at it for a couple of seconds, then looked away and said:
"What nonsense! I don't know any of your friends. Besides, even if I did, they wouldn't be laughing at me. I transferred an extra 200,000 to you because I did a very good job last month, and I was genuinely late in transferring the money..."

Seeing how bluntly he spoke, Mio Takahashi frowned, clicked her tongue, and kicked a stone beside her foot with her black leather shoe, muttering:
"This is so boring. Would it kill you to agree with me?"

Shiratori Seiya heard her clearly, glanced at her, and said:

"I don't seem like the kind of person who would say those kinds of things. If I were to say those cheesy things, wouldn't you feel awkward? You'd probably start to wonder why I'm saying such sweet nothings, and whether I have ulterior motives towards you."

He paused, then continued, "When I truly feel that way, I will naturally say it. Also, didn't you just say you hate hypocrisy? Wouldn't it be better if we were more sincere with each other?"

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately smiled, moving closer to Shiratori Seiya:
"Don't tell me you have ulterior motives. I'm your girlfriend now, right? Doing intimate things is my duty, isn't it?"

She pouted her pink lips, opened and closed them, making a 'pop' sound, and said, "How was it? Was it pretty? Kiss?"

So, once you reach 80 points of affection, you can kiss?
Looking at the numbers on the interface, Shiratori Seiya couldn't help but mutter to himself. The girl's fragrance lingered in his nostrils. He hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced in the direction of his home.

Recalling the scene of Hojo Shione coming to see him last night, he thought to himself that Shione might be watching him from the window right now. He took a step back and said:

"It looks nice, but kissing on the street so early in the morning is just a bit too much..."

Although what he said made sense, Takahashi Mio clearly noticed his glance back, and her enthusiasm immediately dissipated. She frowned and said:

"coward."

I couldn't help but think to myself:

Even when we're dating, I have to be mindful of her feelings when we kiss. We've already broken up, yet she's still so controlling.

I'll secretly take a picture of us kissing later and send it to her. Even if you don't want to, I'll still make sure she sees it.

Seeing that her favorability rating had dropped again, Shiratori Seiya pretended not to hear and said as he led her back:

"Let me go back and get my schoolbag, then we'll leave together."

"Oh."

Seeing Mio reluctantly following behind him, he took two steps forward and suddenly asked:

"But you just said you wanted to go out and have fun. Are you still in the mood for that now?"

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she sighed:

"It's probably because you're in a bad mood that you want to go out and clear your head. Besides, don't you have any friends? If a friend invites you out, it's fine to refuse once or twice, but if you refuse too many times, won't the relationship be completely severed?"

Shiratori Seiya pursed his lips and nodded, saying:

"I really don't have any friends."

Mio Takahashi stared blankly for a moment, feeling a pang of sympathy, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, she nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, you don't have many female friends, you only have girlfriends, right?"

Seemingly to cover up the sourness in her words, she forced a smile and continued:

"Besides, aren't you going to watch Hasegawa's game on Wednesday? You won't have time that day, right? This is a perfect opportunity for you."

"..."

How come you always bring up your girlfriend in everything?
Shiratori Seiya ignored her words and silently walked into the apartment building, quickly went upstairs to retrieve his handbag, and came downstairs, preparing to drive Takahashi Mio to school.

Sitting in the car, he didn't rush to start it. Staring at the streetlights ahead, he stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Seeing the car hesitate to start, Mio, who had just fastened her seatbelt, asked疑惑地问道:
"Why don't you leave?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Shiratori Seiya's face, and she couldn't help but blink when she saw him frowning and deep in thought.

Meeting the girl's gaze, Shiratori Seiya hesitated for a moment before saying:

"I went out to dinner with the producer and director of the film crew last night."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio's eyes darted around for a moment, then she hesitated with a blank expression on her face, saying:

"and then?"

"Then... when we came out, we ran into your cousin."

"She probably already knows I'm the screenwriter for this show, so she might call you and ask you to ask me to help her get the lead role."

He paused, then continued:

"I'm telling you this not to put pressure on you, but to let you know in advance so that you don't accidentally tell your cousin before we even start dealing with your dad together."

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection +3】

Seeing the notification that suddenly popped up in front of him, Shiratori Seiya was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Takahashi Mio, only to find her staring blankly at him.

How come this increases favorability?

Somewhat puzzled, he thought for a moment and asked:
"what happened to you?"

"what……"

Mio Takahashi snapped out of her daze, scratched her eyebrow, and smiled wryly:

"Nothing much, I just feel really unlucky... Is this what they call when it rains most?"

"Yes, that's the right way to use it."

As Shiratori Seiya started the car, he comforted her:

"However, don't feel burdened. Whether your cousin knows or not is not important now. The most important thing is your father's approval."

As he spoke, he worried that Mio might start to overthink, so he explained again:
"I'm telling you all this because I don't want you to feel any pressure. Just have fun while you're out having fun, don't overthink it, and we'll go back together in a good mood..."

"Um……"

Hearing him say that, Takahashi Mio seemed to feel much better. She lowered her eyes, smiled, and nodded.

After the conversation ended, the two fell silent in the carriage.

Mio Takahashi rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window at the trees flying backwards, lost in thought.

Suddenly, when they stopped at a traffic light intersection, her eyes lit up, she reached out and patted Shiratori Seiya's arm, pointing ahead and saying:
"that."

Is that a wedding car?

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya looked in the direction she was pointing. Indeed, three white cars stood out among the vehicles. The cars were decorated with heart-shaped wreaths made of roses and lilies, and there were bride and groom dolls in the middle.

Unlike the long fleet of luxury cars back home, the style here in Japan leans more towards simplicity and refinement, though this is quite obvious.

Shiratori Seiya nodded as he looked at the small bunch of baby's breath fixed to the other car door handle and said:

"Well, it should be."

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi smiled, a look of longing in her eyes, and murmured softly:

"That's wonderful, it seems like today is a perfect day for a wedding..."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at Shiratori Seiya and said:
"By the way, didn't you say you were going to marry Hasegawa? Are you getting married in the spring or some other time?"

The girl had barely finished speaking when the green light came on. Shiratori Seiya felt that she was getting jealous for no reason again, so he casually replied:
"It's too early to think about those things now. Let's get through the present first."
