Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 156 After Thirty

Seeing Shang Ai reminded her of what her parents had told her—

Whether they are the offspring of politicians or the children of capitalists, unless they are good-for-nothings for life, if they want to achieve anything, they must endure hardships and setbacks. In this respect, they are no different from ordinary people.

For example, she has nothing at home except money, yet she still worries about interpersonal relationships.

"When faced with setbacks, the best way to maintain a positive mindset is to take action," Jian Shangai told herself.

Apologize to the Ono sisters in person.

Then, she suddenly realized that she had unknowingly begun to have worries.

However, it had nothing to do with the activities of the Athens Philosophy Research Department; it was all brought by Aoyama Osamu.

The most troublesome thing is that even if you apologize to the Ono sisters and resolve the issue, it doesn't mean the matter will simply disappear.

No, I'm getting negative again.

Get positive!

After the two afternoon classes, it was Aoyama Risa's turn to be on duty today.

0 people were late, and 0 people left early.

Subject: Classical;
Teacher: Akita-sensei;

Content: Review of auxiliary verbs;

Class participation: Listened attentively and performed very well.
She continued writing in this way, class after class, until she had filled all the boxes. Then, Aoyama Osamu greeted the other two students on duty and handed the logbook to Akita Shio.

"You've been doing very well in your studies lately," Akita Shio said with a smile.

"It's probably because I don't have a part-time job," Aoyama said modestly.

Is there anything you'd like to say to your teacher about your daily life?

"I recently adopted a cat and named it Sheriff, hoping it can catch mice."

"Are there many rats where Aoyama-kun lives?" Akita Shio seemed to have misunderstood something.

"If you have time, please come to my home for a home visit."

A student who faints because of a part-time job, no matter how much they say they don't need to worry, will only be seen as bravado.

Why not just have Akita Shio come to our house and see for himself his current living environment?

Akita Shio flipped through her schedule and then asked, "How about this Saturday?"

If Aoyama Riki really becomes a teacher in the future, and someone asks him why he chose to become a teacher, he will answer: Because I met some good teachers when I was studying.

“Okay,” he replied.

After leaving the faculty office, Aoyama arrived at the Department of Philosophy Studies in Athens a little later than usual.

At this point, Jian Shangai had already decided to take active action.

After saying hello, she said, "I'll come to your house tonight."

Aoyama Ryosuke paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "You don't really think I would send the sheriff to catch mice, do you? That's just an excuse when naming a name, like a slogan during a congressional election."

The Ono sisters often hug the police chief; how can they let such a police chief catch mice?

It's best not to go out at all, so as not to get the house dirty.

"It's not about the sheriff. I want to apologize to Senior Meihua and Junior Meiyue." She looked directly into Ai's clear eyes.

"Why?" asked Aoyama Rika.

“I apologize for what I said about you being dirty when you went to the maid cafe.”

"You've already apologized to me personally, and I've forgiven you. Is it necessary to apologize to them as well?"

Aoyama looked at her for a second before continuing, "Generally speaking, isn't that unnecessary?"

He added, "You're not Miyako Yaeko, so there's no need for you to associate with them, is there?"

"..." Seeing that Shang Ai looked stunned for the first time, "What you said seems to make sense."

“Right?” Aoyama Risa laughed.

Yes.

However, instead of feeling relieved, Ai felt a little flustered. Why was that?
"What are today's activities?" Aoyama Risa finally sat down.

Seeing that Shang Ai didn't speak, her heart was still in a state of panic, like an unmanaged ivy that had unknowingly sealed off the doors and windows.

It will take time to process.

“I suggest we continue tracking the Reasoning Club. Yesterday’s conclusion was too hasty. Let’s at least wait until they settle things in the student council room tomorrow,” Aoyama suggested.

I sigh when I see him.

".What's wrong?"

"I still want to apologize to Senior Mika and Junior Mizuki."

"You're not the kind of person who feels uncomfortable if others don't like you, so you want to be friends with them?" Aoyama asked.

"Yes."

The panic in my heart lessened a bit. "But not entirely," I said again.

"Why is that?" Aoyama couldn't understand.

Seeing that Ai thought for a moment, she said in a tone as if she were searching for a thread in a tangled mess, "She probably thinks that we might have a chance to get along in the future, and it's impossible for her to get along with you if she doesn't get along with them."

Yes.

That's the reason for the panic.

As Ms. Kuze said, she wasn't completely without feelings for Aoyama Osamu.
“When I met my classmate, I touched a woman’s breasts,” Aoyama Ryo said.

She looked up at Shang Ai.

“This hand.” Aoyama Risa spread out her right hand. “She wasn’t wearing any clothes. Of course, it was just an accident, but to be honest, I’m secretly happy about it, and even looking forward to doing it again.”

He withdrew his right hand and looked at Aoi Kenshin: "In your words, I'm dirty and can't be kept."

"Really?"

"real."

Seeing Ai stare at Aoyama Ryou's face for a while, she slowly nodded: "I understand."

Aoyama Risa remained silent for a moment.

Like a sudden roar, the two fell silent for a moment, waiting for the roar to subside.

"Why are you telling me all this?" See iAsk above.

"When you said I was dirty, I wasn't angry. On the contrary, I felt very fond of you. There are very few pure girls like you anymore."

"If I could, I would also like to have a pure heart and mind, and then find someone with the same pure heart and mind, to spend my whole life with only each other, and to be quietly happy."

"That's the biggest reason I'm telling you this: you're special to me." This is Aoyama Rika's true feeling.

Just like when climbing a snow-capped mountain and seeing a pure white fox among the rocky peaks, his choice is neither to stay on the mountain to guard it, nor to take it home.

They simply admired each other, played together, and then silently left.

“I think I understand what you mean.” Jian Shang Ai nodded and said, “You like me, but you feel that you are not good enough for me.”

"There are many ways to express love! Why is your way superior?!"

"'If I could, I would also like to be pure in body and mind'—isn't that what you meant by that tone?" Jian Shang Ai found it strange.

"That's just one of my ideals. Now I'll tell you about my other, even greater ideal—I want to marry five!"

"Completely unremarkable."

"what?"

"For a guy, isn't wanting to marry five women unremarkable?" Jian Shangai retorted.

"Perhaps." Aoyama Rin didn't know how many others wanted; some thought two or three would be enough, while others thought it was like Han Xin counting his troops.

"In comparison, my body and mind are pure, and I have only one person in my life. Isn't that even greater?" Jian Shangai continued to ask.

".possible."

There is no reason to refute it.

Seeing that Shang Ai's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, she said, "Humans are truly contradictory. There must be many people like you who yearn for purity of mind and body, yet also enjoy complexity."

“However, very few people can actually achieve either one,” said Aoyama Osamu.

He wanted to try his best in this lifetime.

As a system owner, you should be stricter with yourself and hold yourself to the highest standards!
"Aoyama-kun," she said, snapping out of her reverie at Aoi's gaze, "do you think I can do it, to keep my mind and body pure, and to be with only one person for life?"

"It's hard."

Whether you're a wealthy young person with the means or a poor person without, in today's society, especially in Japan where red-light districts are legal, it's very difficult to maintain a pure mind and body.

“But it’s not impossible. You can try persisting until you’re 30,” Aoyama suggested.

"Not even 30 yet?"

"That depends on you."

“So, just in case, I’ll still go to your place tonight,” Ai said.

Ok?
What does she mean?
Keep him as a backup option?
Outrageous!

“I’ve already touched that part of the girl’s body,” Aoyama reminded her again.

"After I turn thirty, I probably won't care anymore. By the way, I gave you extra money last night, so you don't have to pay back the 9,900 yen you owe me."

"Exactly nine thousand nine hundred yen?"

“Yes.” Jian Shang Ai nodded.

"Really?" Aoyama Risa didn't believe it.

"real."

It can be confirmed that Jian Shang Ai has achieved purity of body and mind only in matters of love.
