Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 154 Kittens are so cute!
People who often go home alone should know the pain of being alone.

Four groups of high school girls—a total of fourteen people, including two hot girls around twenty years old, three female junior high school students, and one female college student—struck up to Aoyama Risa, either by chatting, asking for his contact information, or inviting him to hang out.

Conclusion: Aoyama Osamu does not seem to be popular with women over twenty.

It could also be said that Aoyama Osamu is particularly popular among women aged 14 to under 20.

Some people think this is a good thing.

After all, it's impossible for someone to be liked by everyone. If all the women in this age group like you, that's already good enough.

But Aoyama felt the problem was very serious.

If he gets married in the future, his wife can't stay twenty forever. What if she stops liking him when she turns twenty-one? That would be terrible.
It seems that [American A] still needs to improve. It's not that he's focused on appearance; it's a means to maintain marital happiness.

As I approached home, I saw a black Mercedes-Benz MPV parked in front of my house in the distance.

It's not surprising that Aoyama Ryo is like this.

Even if he refuses, he anticipates that Ai will bring the little black cat what it needs.

That woman is so annoying. She's doing a good job, but she's making things more fun for Aoyama Ono's family.

She meant well, so we can't say anything to her—whether it's right or wrong is another matter.

"I'm back." Aoyama Risa entered the house.

No one cares about him.

All that could be heard were human voices meowing.

Upon entering the living room, the Ono sisters and Ai Mikami were playing with the little black cat.

"Aren't you going to cook?" Aoyama Osamu scolded Ono Mizuki in an annoyed tone.

"Can't you see the guests are here? Go do it!" Ono Mizuki said even more irritably.

Aoyama Rika pointed at them with her right index finger: "Wait!"

He returned to his room, put down his schoolbag, changed out of his school uniform, and went to the kitchen to cook.

I glanced at the refrigerator; there was plenty of food, enough for a week, and it was only Monday.

—System, the simplest egg fried rice, from China.

[Start Cooking Instruction]

The system's purpose was supposed to guide Aoyama Rin, making him a perfect person, but he completely used it as a transformation device.

"Eat up." Aoyama Ryo put the fried rice in a large bowl, then took out four small bowls, four cups, and a bottle of Calpis.

"Is that all?" Mizuki Ono asked.

"To save time for studying," said Aoyama Risa.

Mika Ono, who was kneeling, straightened up with a smile, served rice and poured drinks, giving the first serving to Ai Mikami.

"Thank you." Seeing that Shang Ai had sat up straight, "I'll start eating."

The fried rice was completely devoured.

"Is there any left in the pot?" Ono Mizuki asked.

"Try licking it; you should be able to find some oil."

Serving rice is also done by the system, and the pot is so clean that you might suspect the residual oil inside is for maintenance.

“You didn’t mention that today,” Ai Mikami said with a smile, “'The hospitality was inadequate'!”

"What's the cat's name?" Aoyama asked.

“The three of us each took one.” Ono Mika became interested. “I’m ‘Jiji,’ Mizuki is ‘Doraemon,’ and the schoolgirl is ‘Hoshi.’”

"Stars are active at night, and kittens are black, so we hope they can be as active as the stars at night." (See the explanation above.)

"Are you campaigning for yourself?" Aoyama asked.

“...Just to explain why I chose this name.” Seeing Ai pick up her Calpis, which was a third full, and slightly avoid Aoyama Risa’s gaze, she took a small sip.

“Hmm—” Aoyama Ryosuke crossed his arms and pondered, “How about calling him Sheriff?”

"Why?" Ono Mizuki asked.

Black Cat Detective is Chinese, which the Japanese may not understand or accept.

“Our house is quite big, isn’t it? We even have a yard. I hope it can catch all the rats just like a sheriff catching criminals,” Aoyama explained.

"Didn't you pay the maintenance fee?" Jian Shang asked curiously. "Rat and mosquito control is also part of the maintenance."

There are always some who slip through the net.

"Don't you think it's irresponsible to decide a cat's lifelong name just because it slipped through the net? Star is the most suitable name for it." See Shang Ai insists.

"What's so good about the name 'Star'?" Aoyama Risa retorted. "Like the stars in the night sky? It's just causing trouble. Modern cats are even more useless than dogs, purely ornamental animals. They can't catch mice, and they can't be guides. My cat can't be such a useless thing; it must learn to catch mice!"

Seeing that she was in love, she did indeed treat the cat as a pet.

Generally speaking, who in the city keeps a cat to catch mice? Yes, but very few.

"We have four names now, shall we vote?" Mika Ono suggested.

"Doraemon!" Mizuki Ono raised her hand.

"Gigi," Ono Mika wouldn't give in either.

Aoyama Ryo looked at Mikami Ai, and Mikami Ai looked at him in return. Needless to say, both of them insisted on using their own names.

"Thinking about it carefully, Doraemon might infringe on copyright, so I'll vote for the sheriff." Ono Mizuki put her hand down.

“Gigi is a character from ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service,’ which may infringe on copyright. I also vote for the sheriff,” Mika Ono said.

Seeing that Shang Ai looked at the two of them.

She finally understood that the reason the three of them had come all the way home together was not because 'Xing' was incompetent, but because she herself was incompetent.

The two still remember what she said back then: "The green hills are dirty, they can't be used anymore."

She had seen the surveillance footage herself and knew who Aoyama Ryo was, and she knew she had misunderstood him, but the Ono sisters didn't care about any of that.

"We won." After a whole day, Aoyama Ryo finally achieved a real victory.

Seeing that Shang Ai didn't speak, she understood that tonight's dinner was a thank-you gift for driving them home.

It means that neither party owes the other anything.

Aoyama Osamu's attitude gave her the illusion that the matter was over, but in reality, in the hearts of the Ono sisters, she and Miyako Yaeko, who solved the stalking incident, were the same people who needed to be rejected.

She might not even be as good as Miyako Yaeko now.

I shouldn't have given the task to her in the first place.

However, dwelling on the past is futile; one must face the future.

"Sheriff~~~" Ono Mizuki hugged the sheriff just like Nobita hugged Doraemon.

“Mizuki,” Ai said, snapping out of her daze, “the sheriff is still injured, please don’t touch him.”

“Mizuki, she is the sheriff, she cannot be spoiled. The sheriff must be strong and resolute!” Aoyama also had an opinion.

"Meow~" The little black cat jumped out of Ono Mizuki's arms, avoiding Mikami Ai and Aoyama Osamu who had different feelings for it, and hid in Ono Mika's lap.

"Why? Where did I go wrong?" Ono Mizuki cried out in despair.

"It seems the sheriff prefers older women," Aoyama Rie analyzed.

Don't apply the same classifications used for perverts to cats—if you hadn't noticed the Ono sisters' attitude, you would have said it directly to Ai.

Ono Mika stroked the police chief, revealing a gentle and beautiful smile.

As a child, Aoyama Ryo had a dream of becoming a police chief. As he grew older, this dream gradually faded, but now it has been rekindled.

He wants to become the sheriff!

After deciding on the little black cat's name, I said goodbye to Shang Ai.

"See you soon, classmate!" Ono Mika picked up the police chief, gently put him down, and took out an envelope she had prepared beforehand from her pocket.

"This is the money for the equipment. Thank you for bringing us back." She handed over the envelope, using polite language.

At this moment, Aoyama Riya realized what was happening.

He no longer minded being called vulgar by Jian Shangai, because he had already decided that there was no possibility between him and Jian Shangai.

Given that, Aoyama Risa certainly wouldn't take her opinions about her partners to heart.

It seems that the Ono sisters also remember.

"Please accept this," he said.

At the same time, he thought to himself that he had to find a way to pay back the 9,900 yen he owed.

Seeing that Shang Ai remained silent, he finally accepted the envelope.

"Sorry to bother you, I'll head back now," she said. "If you have any questions about raising cats, please feel free to ask me."

"Thank you, senior," Ono Mizuki said with a sweet smile.

Their attitude was excellent, without any flaws, which made the distance between them very obvious.

Aoyama Ritsu saw her at the door.

A gentle night breeze brought coolness and comfort, while the ground lights created a hazy and dreamlike atmosphere in the courtyard.

He saw that Ai did not speak.

"What's the name of your cat?" Aoyama asked proactively, since he was about to meet Ai and become friends.

"Red Hare".

"."

"My dad named it." (This is a statement used to distance herself from the topic.)

He seems to be a wealthy person who really likes the Three Kingdoms period.

"Do you know why I let you join the Athens Philosophy Department in the first place?" Isamu said.

"I thought it was just random conscription, but judging from your tone, it seems there's another reason?"

Seeing that Ai nodded, her voice was quiet and melodious in the night, like the moonlight: "I found Red Hare in Hakone."

"My parents and I were on vacation when it walked into the yard with an injured foot."

"You walked into the choir with a limp, your face filled with confusion about the future, which reminded me of Red Hare."

Did you look confused at the time?
Because of the recovery of his memories and the acquisition of the system, he doesn't know what to do next.
“So,” Ai looked at Aoyama, “Aoyama-kun, in my eyes you are also a cat. Please treat your fellow cats well.”

"Do you believe I'll take the sheriff to get sterilized tomorrow?"

"Vaccinations must be completed before sterilization."

"must?"

"must."

"Okay, let's wait until it gets vaccinated. During this time, I will tell it every day, 'After you get vaccinated, you will get spayed,' so that it lives in fear."

To Aoyama Ryo's surprise, instead of getting angry, Ai Kami laughed.

She smiled and said, as if praising a kitten, "How cute, Aoyama-kun."

With a somewhat forced smile, Aoyama looked at that delicate little face.

"Goodbye," she said.

Aoyamari nodded.

Seeing that Shang Ai was getting into the car, looking a little tired, after a while, she looked at her hand on her skirt and the envelope in her hand.

It's very thick.

Upon opening the envelope and carefully counting the contents, I discovered there were 300,000 yen.

The things she sent were indeed quite nice, but considering the Aoyama Ono family's acceptance level, she only bought some basic items of slightly better quality, which cost around 150,000 yen.

She thought the distance between her and Aoyama Ryo was 9,900 yen, but in reality, it might be 300,000 yen.
