Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 94 Trading
"Saori is leaving soon, isn't Kiyoya going to cheer her on?"

On Saturday morning, a girl carrying a bamboo sword stood on the platform, gazing longingly at Shiratori Seiya.

At this moment, her eyes revealed a pleading expression, like a puppy begging for food from its owner.

Shiratori Seiya felt nothing when he saw her frail appearance, partly because he had seen her too many times during this period, and partly because he knew exactly how strong she was.

Instead of being worried, I felt a strange sense of unease.

Although there was a misunderstanding during our last encounter, I was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of her.

When you see a lion fighting a fawn, I doubt anyone would cheer for the lion.

They should feel more sorry for Xiao Lu.

"I'll cheer you on when I get there."

Shiratori Seiya reached out and touched her hair, comforting her.

"Okay, Saori, I'll be waiting for you."

"..."

Shiratori Seiya watched Saori board the train until its tail disappeared from sight before heading towards the school.

He still has a third-tier class today, so he should be able to find a place to rest or start studying now.

After thinking for a moment and glancing at the time, he walked toward the classroom where Mio was having class.

I haven't seen Mio for over a day now, and I wonder how she's adjusting.

She's only nineteen after all. If she hasn't adjusted to her new state in a little over a day, then it's my turn to comfort her.

When I arrived at the classroom, there were still three to five minutes before class started.

This is a lecture hall, and Shiratori Seiya entered through the back door.

As soon as I entered, I saw Mio sitting in front of me, with books already laid out on the table, chatting and laughing with the girl next to her.

There were still many empty seats in the front row, and he was about to walk forward when he noticed that many people were looking in his direction.

The sounds of talking and laughing in the classroom suddenly decreased significantly.

Seemingly receiving the signal, the girl next to Mio glanced in his direction, paused for a moment, then reached out and patted Mio's shoulder, gesturing for her to look back.

Shiratori Seiya stood still, their gazes meeting over countless people.

"..."

A moment later, Mio Takahashi came to her senses. She turned around and smiled, saying something to her friend beside her. Then she picked up her books and backpack and walked towards him.

'Clap. '

Mio Takahashi placed the book in the third-to-last row by the window.

She patted the table with her slender, fair hand, gesturing for Shiratori Seiya to come over.

Mio leaned against the window.

This seat is about five or six rows away from the podium. Although it is a lecture hall, the heads of the people in front can block two people from seeing, and there are also some students behind. Even if you talk or play on your phone, it won't be too noticeable.

Shiratori Seiya sat beside her, turning his head to look at her profile.

The dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops and windows fell on the girl's shoulders, her long, black hair shimmering with a coffee-brown sheen, smooth and glossy, making one want to reach out and touch it just by looking at it.

Turning her gaze away, the white bird said softly:

"The location is well chosen."

"of course."

Hearing him say that, Takahashi Mio smiled smugly, her supple waist slumping down to reveal the beautiful curve of her back. She crossed her arms, rested her chest on the table, squinted her eyes, and tilted her head to look at Shiratori Seiya, saying:
"This is the most comfortable place to sleep. I was in this spot last semester, and the teachers couldn't control me at all."

"But it still seems to attract quite a bit of attention."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio froze, blinked, and noticed that everyone around her was looking at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Realizing what was happening, she smiled wryly and said:
"Isn't it because someone is too conspicuous?"

Shiratori Seiya realized that this was indeed the case.

Although Japanese universities don't have fixed classes, this class is one of Mio's majors. There are only about thirty people in this class, and the semester is halfway through. Even though they are not as familiar with each other as they were in high school, they have recognized most of them.

But Takahashi Mio clearly didn't mean that. She glanced at Shiratori Seiya and continued:
"Someone has two girlfriends. It caused quite a stir on the school forum before, and someone even filmed it..."

"But seeing photos online can't compare to seeing the real person in person, right?"

"..."

Sensing the intense jealousy in the girl's voice, Shiratori Seiya took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, took a sip, and remained silent.

After receiving the notification of 'Affection -1', Mio's teasing voice rang in my ears again:

"But you still care about this?"

"Once you know the reason, there's nothing to worry about."

Mio Takahashi nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Oh, will that make you happy?"

Why are you happy?

"Hey? Aren't you happy? You have two girlfriends, you know? Everyone's so envious. And isn't that something you guys should be proud of?"

After a pause, Mio smiled and teased, "..."

"If they knew that the super popular female singer was also your girlfriend, and that she was willing to risk her career for you, they would probably be so angry that they would jump off the roof."

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya frowned.

Noticing the expression on his face, Takahashi Mio's pupils contracted, and she coughed lightly, saying:

"Cough, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"..."

Shiratori Seiya turned his head, stared intently into her eyes, and said seriously:
“I’m never happy about things like this.”

Seeing his serious expression, Mio Takahashi's heart stirred, her temper softened instantly, and her pink lips curled up.

"Oh."

She gave a dry reply, then continued speaking to herself:

"Anyway, if it were me, I'd be ecstatic to have so many people surrounding me..."

She paused, then sighed and said meaningfully:

"Unlike now, being a girlfriend on the go means facing life-threatening dangers every day."

'Jingle Bell……'

As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom bell rang.

Not wanting to dwell on this topic too much, and having more important matters to ask Mio today, Shiratori Seiya lowered his voice and changed the subject:

"You seem to be in a good mood? Have you figured out a strategy for how to handle this?"

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi's smile froze. After a few seconds, she lowered her eyes, let out a soft "heh," and propped her cheek up with her hand while staring at the table, saying:
"You've pretty much made up your mind, haven't you?"

"How to say?"

"When you come home with me, tell Dad that I owe you 1 billion yen and I have to make movies to earn it back."

"..."

"What kind of lousy method is this? How did you manage to owe a billion yen? What if your father wants to see the evidence?"

"Then I'll give you an IOU right now."

As Mio Takahashi spoke, she suddenly burst into laughter.

She looked as if she were drunk, a blush spreading across her pretty face, her eyes glistening with a hazy, watery light as she looked at the white bird.

She extended her slender, white index finger, its pale pink tip lightly touching his chin, and said softly:
"Anyway, you're not heartless."

"If what Hojo did makes it hard for you to let go, and I do this, will you still be thinking about me all the time?"
