Tokyo Psychic

"Xiaoxiang, be reasonable. You are sixteen and I am seventeen. Two minors living together before graduating from high school. Can you imagine what will happen in another year?"

Toyokawa Shoko's pupils trembled violently. Listen, is this human language?

Hadn't she hinted clearly enough?

Toyokawa Shoko had never been in love in her life. This was the first time she fell in love with a boy, the first time she confessed her true feelings to someone, the first time she kissed someone.

In the impression of Toyokawa Shoko, who has always attended a girls' school, love should be something sacred and pure, an important thing to continue one's future life, and must be equated with marriage.

And she was indeed dating Kurusu Akatsuki with the intention of getting married.

Unexpectedly, when faced with the girl's shy invitation to "live together", Kurusu Akatsuki's answer was "Please be rational"...

At this moment, she really wanted to take out the pair of brass knuckles from her schoolbag, put them on, and hit Kurusu Akatsuki in the face viciously.

But in the end, Shoko Toyokawa still chose to understand Akira Kurusu.

"Sure enough, relying on part-time jobs...it's hard just to pay the rent, right? After all, we don't have a stable source of income." She whispered.

"Why haven't you considered what your father thinks?"

"He will agree." Toyokawa Shoko's answer was surprising.

"he agrees?"

"Well... I adapted a lot of key information and told him our story... Dad really wanted to meet you, and he also supported my decision to date you."

Kurusu Akatsuki thought that if the news of her living with Toyokawa Shoko got to the Toyokawa family, she might have to change her name to "Toyokawa Akatsuki" in a few days.

He had no choice but to seriously follow what Toyokawa Shoko said, "Shouldn't we at least wait until we find proper jobs before considering living together? Starting a family requires careful consideration!"

At this time, Shoko Toyokawa's two little hands were entangled together. "Start a family"... She kept murmuring this word in her heart. The feeling of shyness and happiness intertwined, and creating a future with the person she loved really made her obsessed.

Her voice was very soft. "Nowadays, both parties must be over 18 years old to get a marriage certificate, but by then Lian will have graduated from high school for a year..."

Kurusu Akatsuki was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he sat beside her silently, listening to the girl shyly describing their future life.

By the time they left the attic, the coffee on the dining table had already gone cold.

Shoko Toyokawa picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip.

It's clearly a refreshing concentrated Italian drink, and the taste is bitter and sour, but somehow it tastes sweet.

Kurusu Akatsuki said goodbye to Sakura Sojiro's strange smile and prepared to send Toyokawa Shoko home.

When they got on the tram, the girl couldn't help but hug his arms, wanting to stick closer to him.

About an hour later, Toyokawa Shoko and Kurusu Akatsuki said goodbye at the bottom of the apartment building.

She watched the boy walk away, and suddenly realized something very important—

It seems Kurusu Akatsuki hasn't confessed his feelings to her yet!

Shoko Toyokawa pursed her lips, forcing herself to suppress the anxiety that suddenly arose in her heart.

They've kissed and cuddled! How could they not be dating?!

She took a deep breath, hugged her schoolbag, and thought of the more than one million in cash inside, and her expression gradually relaxed.

The flames of the setting sun burned the city from west to east, and a warm blush slowly enveloped the girl's whole body.

Toyokawa Shoko looked in the direction where Kurusu Akatsuki left, with a shy and happy smile on her face.

Suddenly I am looking forward to the future.

She thought, I'll probably never cry again.

This must be growth.

......

At this time, Kurusu Akatsuki, who had walked into the tram station, received a call from Yoshizawa Kasumi almost seamlessly.

"Senior! My sister and I have an exhibition match at the Setagaya gymnasium tonight. Would you like to come and watch? Sumire and I will treat you to dinner at a high-end restaurant!" The girl's enthusiastic voice came from the receiver.

"No problem," Kurusu Akatsuki readily accepted the invitation of the cute schoolgirl.

Then the phone was hung up, and he saw that Toyokawa Shoko had sent him a message on Line.

【Toyokawa Shoko: See you tomorrow.】

He thought for a moment, then replied with the same words, [See you tomorrow.]

The Phantom Thief is busy.

(I was halfway through writing five chapters when the power suddenly went out in my dorm. I hurriedly used my phone to post this already-written plot. Then I checked the time and saw that class was only two hours away. Relying solely on my phone keyboard and my chaotic thoughts simply wasn't going to keep me going until I left the dorm to finish the game... Having come to this, I'll finish the remaining thousand-plus words of the second "three-in-one" after class and post it with tomorrow's update.)

092. The So-Called "Three Kingdoms" (Three-in-One)

At dusk in Tokyo, the lights on both sides of the street begin to light up, the neon lights flicker in the night, and all the steps become long and deep.

PM.5:31.

Setagaya Ward Gymnasium.

The auditorium illuminated by the lights was exceptionally empty. Sumire Yoshizawa, who was holding two sports jackets, whispered to Kasumi Yoshizawa, who was tying her hair beside her.

"Sister, if we suddenly invite Amamiya-senpai over after school...would that be too much of a bother for him?"

Fang Zexia raised her right hand and used her palm as a knife to chop her head gently, "Don't ask so many questions, kid."

"He was born one minute earlier than me..."

Fang Zejin complained inwardly, then smiled and said, "Yes, sister."

As soon as the voice fell, another knife chopped her head, "Don't look so gloomy, I'll treat you to a high-end restaurant tonight."

"Hmm..." Yoshizawa Sumire's mood brightened a little.

Her sister would only specifically suggest treating them during important holidays, and they would usually go to an ordinary family restaurant... She didn't expect that she could have such an expensive dinner on a weekday, which was really rare.

Yoshizawa Sumire fantasized about this for a while, and couldn't help but ask her, "Has Sister already reserved a seat?"

Fang Zexia led her to the locker room, "Of course."

"Where is it..."

"Narisawa." This is a high-end restaurant located near the Seijo residential area in Setagaya Ward. It is famous for its combination of French and Japanese cuisine, as well as its exquisite and innovative dishes that are like works of art. Of course, the cost there is almost unaffordable for ordinary people.

"Eh?! Doesn't that restaurant require reservations a week in advance to get a seat?" Rather than the price of dining at Narisawa, Sumire Yoshizawa was more concerned about when Kasumi Yoshizawa had made the reservation.

"It was booked last week." Fang Zexia blinked and explained to her quietly, "Actually, we reserved a seat for yesterday, but our senior couldn't come because he had a band performance, so we asked the chef to help move it up to today and add an extra seat."

Yoshizawa Sumire was a little surprised, "What if Amamiya-senpai doesn't come this time?"

"Then let Dad and Mom go, and I'll stay home and help you with your homework."

"You didn't even tell me! And...why don't the two of us go together?!" Yoshizawa Sumire felt that her sister seemed a little too partial.

After enjoying her sister's care and love for more than ten years, Fang Zejin was really sad at this time.

It turns out that falling in love really does change a person.

She thought to herself, will I fall in love with a boy in the future?

On the topic of love, Yoshizawa Sumire's standards for a boyfriend aren't that high. She wants someone with good character, a strong sense of justice, gentleness towards her, and a slightly older age, preferably just a year or two, so they can have more things in common. Of course, if he's also handsome, that's even better...

Yoshizawa Sumire looked down at the plastic floor beneath her feet, and she couldn't resist the little devil that was stirring in her heart.

A handsome boy is actually a huge plus for her... This is the only thing a 15-year-old girl likes to watch idol dramas.

Yoshizawa Sumire inexplicably hoped that her future boyfriend would be handsome but not very good at or not very fond of dressing up, so that not many women would pursue him before she found out.

After they started dating, she could also help him organize his clothes, tie his tie and comb his hair every day.

Feeling shy at the thought, Yoshizawa Sumire shook her head, holding her sports jacket and followed her sister into the locker room.

At six o'clock, they will participate in an exhibition match, so they need to warm up carefully while waiting to change into their gymnastics uniforms.

......

The white spotlights in the venue lit up in unison, and the vast darkness was dispelled in an instant.

The light green plastic floor reflected a soft luster under the light, like a green lawn covered with hoarfrost, with two beautiful roses blooming on the lawn.

Kasumi Yoshizawa and Sumire Yoshizawa, the twin sisters who have been learning gymnastics since childhood, have become extremely well-known in various commercial activities centered around gymnastics competitions as they grow older.

Most exhibition matches in Japan will actively invite them to participate - the same appearance and posture, tacit cooperation, and those elegant and graceful movements... As long as the Yoshizawa sisters participate in the competition, the live broadcast ratings of the event will have a very gratifying increase.

Thanks to this, almost all relevant investors became aware of the beautiful sisters, and at the same time, they also became aware of their extremely vigilant father who used to be an executive at a TV station.

As usual, Mr. Yoshizawa sat in the VIP seat with his six-figure camera before the game started, carefully adjusting the lens angle.

He never misses a single moment of his two precious daughters' growth...

"Xia and Sumire are getting cuter and cuter," a middle-aged man in his forties said as he looked through old photos and videos. Facing the reality that his daughters were growing up day by day and he was getting older, he sighed.

But soon, his face, which had some new wrinkles on it, straightened up. He raised the camera seriously and focused it intently on the two girls on the field.

The game started.

Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Sumire moved at the same time, as if they had telepathic understanding. They looked at each other, then did a standard front flip facing each other.

When they are far away from each other, they jump high, spread their legs, spin in the air and then land.

There were several consecutive jumps, sometimes a split in the air, or a backflip and a handstand. Each movement was practiced countless times with precision.

Accompanied by the applause from the audience, the girls who finished the floor exercise each held the vaulting horse in front of them, ran up and jumped skillfully, and landed after spinning in the air like ballet dancers.

For reasons of viewing pleasure and duration, the balance beam was eliminated from this exhibition match.

At this point, the performance has been going on for three minutes.

Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Sumire came to the other end of the venue. Next up was the uneven bars, which were the most beautiful and tense.

The two of them started swinging their bodies from the low bar in front of them at the same time, using inertia to start swinging on the horizontal bar at a gradually accelerating speed, and then completed a perfect swing turn by exerting force, and landed steadily on the high bar.

The last part was the extremely difficult parallel bar twist and jump. The two girls who completed all the movements landed almost at the same moment.

The graceful and slender figure wrapped in the gymnastics suit stretches out its soft wings and slender neck gracefully like a dancing swan, and the landing movement is as light, harmonious and beautiful as a swan entering the water.

Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Sumire stepped into the circled open space between the equipment.

They stood face to face, feeling each other's accelerated breathing due to the high-intensity exercise, then turned around hand in hand and bowed to the audience around them to express their gratitude.

The applause from all directions immediately changed from the sound of a drizzle to a thunderous roar, reverberating deafeningly throughout the entire venue.

Mr. Fangze put down the camera, kicked away the chair, and suddenly stood up in front of the numb and even accustomed gazes of the investors in the VIP seats. He clapped his hands loudly towards his daughters without any manners, and then cheered.

"Xia! Sumire!" He waved and shouted at the two girls who were leaving the stage in his direction, "You guys are awesome!"

Having said this, Mr. Yoshizawa hurriedly picked up the camera on his desk, held it in front of him, and once again aimed it at his daughters who were enjoying the honor.

However, after pressing the shutter button several times, the girl in the picture was still running, with no intention of stopping even though he called out to her.

The last moment of the shot was when Kasumi Yoshizawa and Sumire Yoshizawa surrounded a boy in school uniform who was dressed in a rustic manner, and walked with him through the employee passage below the VIP seats.

Mr. Yoshizawa didn't notice this at all. He just hurriedly put down his camera, closed his eyes, and as always, opened his arms wide, ready to welcome his daughters to run into the audience and throw themselves into his arms amid the envious gazes of his peers and old friends.

In the worldview of men who have established a family and a career, showing off their house and car is not as fulfilling as showing off their children and wife.

But this time he waited for a full minute and didn't get a hug from Kasumi and Sumire. Instead, he heard gloating laughter from the side.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened his eyes. He happened to see Fang Zexia and Fang Zejin talking and laughing with a thin-looking boy. He stared at their backs with his eyes wide open as they slowly disappeared from the exit of the venue.

Mr. Fangze immediately felt as if a kilogram of willow catkins were squeezing into his chest, crushing his internal organs and causing him severe pain that made it difficult for him to breathe.

A middle-aged man's collapse only takes a moment. He wants to beat the ground and cry, roll around on the ground without any scruples, and sigh heartbreakingly. But after middle age, even if he is heartbroken and heartbroken, he must clench his fists, stand up straight and swallow his tears.

Those who like to show off their daughters' success will one day have to face the hardship of seeing their proud daughters drifting away.

Mr. Yoshizawa prides himself on being an adult man who dares to fight, work hard and take responsibility. He entered junior high school during the dark era of the bursting of the bubble economy. Even with the dramatic changes in his life caused by the disintegration of his family, he still relied on his outstanding willpower to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. After graduation, he relied on his classmates' connections to be parachuted into the management of a well-known TV station and married the daughter of the then director, truly achieving class leap.

Later, in order to take care of his family, he resigned from his job at the TV station and joined the Atlus agency formed by his old friends, where he served as the head of the operations department. He had nothing to do all year round and ordered his subordinates around through social software every day. His salary was so high that it was dissuading, and his smile and hair volume made his former colleagues jealous.

There is no doubt that Mr. Fangze is already a powerful figure standing at the top of the social pyramid!

Only the tears and sighs of his daughters and the sadness that inadvertently flows on his wife's face can move this strong man who stands at the pinnacle of "happiness".
