Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 158 Am I the only one who likes pretty girls?

Once again, I experienced a morning of [speed C↑] and [body C↑].

Running seems to have limited effect on [Power C], only occasionally resulting in [Power C↑].

The vegetable garden is already a lush green.

Aoyama Ryo's phone is now filled with pictures of vegetable gardens.

"Sheriff, we're leaving now. Take good care of the house!" Teasing the sheriff before leaving for school has become a tradition for the Ono sisters.

As usual, Aoyama didn't touch it, afraid of being bitten.

The sheriff seemed oblivious to Aoyama Rin, treating him as if he didn't exist; the relationship between the man and the cat was truly platonic.

“We talked about logic during training yesterday,” Mika Ono said on the tram.

"I?"

“Everyone suspects you like meeting younger female students,” Ono Mika said with a smile.

"It seems everyone knows you're a lecher." Ono Mizuki nodded, feigning satisfaction.

"The word 'lustful' is not precise enough; judging people by their appearance is better," Aoyama Osamu corrected.

Mizuki Ono has recently stopped playing on her phone like a refugee eating porridge and has become more relaxed with electronic devices.

“Then,” Mika Ono continued, “they talked about your opinion of the Sunny Day band, and they asked me which one of them I admired the most.”

"You're actually talking about these things? Who do you think I admire the most?" Aoyama Ryou asked curiously.

"My wife Mingxiang." Ono Mika answered.

"Because you only remember Akika-senpai's name!" Ono Mizuki added.

Ono Mika nodded, confirming her guess.

“No, that’s not true. I have the same impression of them all. Please pass on my message to them,” said Aoyama Rika.

Akika Gasai is because of "Gashi-ga" (我妻), Rino F is because of "F" (F), Yumemi the drummer is because of "confession" (告白), and Sakurako the bassist is because of "photograph" (照片).

The fact that they all had the same impression of each other also meant that none of the four were particularly special to him.

However, as a beautiful girl, Aoyama Ritsu likes her.

“Oh, right,” he remembered something, “Although I’m not here now, I haven’t quit. Contact me anytime you need me. I’m your agent.”

"Mm," Mika Ono replied with a smile.

“The drama club was short-staffed and came to me. I have no acting skills, but I can still play a pretty face,” Aoyama Osamu told Ono Mizuki.

Ono Mizuki looked like she couldn't take it anymore.

During their time in the classroom, besides studying, everyone continued to discuss career visits.

After class, the other four gathered in the corner where Aoyama Risa and Amakusa were.

“Aoyama-kun, I checked AAA Publishing House, and it seems to be a relatively new company,” Amakusa said.

“I like ‘Detective A’,” said Rido Aoyama.

"Ah! I know!" Nome Reina perked up immediately.

"When I went to the bookstore to buy stationery and books, I saw an advertisement that seemed to be very popular, with millions of copies sold?" Kobayashi Shiki recalled.

"The billboards at the Shibuya intersection also advertise it," Inoue Misato nodded.

“I really love this book; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it saved my life. So I wanted to go and see it, maybe I’d even meet the author—that’s why I chose AAA Publishing,” said Rido Aoyama.

"Everyone is different," Amakusa said, looking at her notebook.

"How about we draw lots?" Jun Aizawa tentatively suggested.

"Where is everyone?" Amakusa asked, looking at the crowd.

No one else had any objections.

Aoyama Rika had no obsession with where to go, unlike the others who were all praying for winning the lottery.

He ended up drawing a lot with a red dot on it.

"Damn it!" Kobayashi Shiki threw the white slip of paper on the table. "I want to go to a talent agency! Minami! Asuka! Kanna!"

"Are these three people in the same firm?" Inoue Misato found it amusing and looked at Kobayashi Shiki with great interest.

“Yeah, hehe.” Kobayashi Shiki blushed.

After school in the afternoon, Aoyama Rika went to check on the Sunny Day Band Club as usual, and then went up to the sixth floor.

He went to the student council office first.

"It's confirmed, the professional visit will be to AAA," he said.

“A publishing house that has only published one book, even if it has the strength, is just a shooting star. When will it be able to turn into the moon?” asked Miyako Yaeko.

"I've been lazy lately, but I'll try harder," Aoyama Risa reflected.

No, what is he reflecting on? Isn't this a systemic problem?
"When will the three reasoning departments arrive?" he asked again.

Miyako looked at her secretary, who adjusted her glasses and said, "5:30."

"Thank you. By the way, my glasses keep slipping down. I'd better get them fixed at an optician's; it'll affect my eyesight." The secretary pushed up her glasses and stared at him, as if they were a combat power tester, ready to beat him up if Aoyama Risa's combat power was lower than hers.

Miyako Yaeko chuckled, "Go ahead, I'm busy."

That makes it twice now. Look for her when you don't need anything, and quickly catch up to the number of times you look for her when you do need something.

Aoyama Osamu went to the Athens Philosophy Research Department next door.

No matter how many times, he liked this name. Long means strong, long means good, long means great.

If he could, he would even like to fill two whole pages with the title 'Department of Philosophical Studies in Athens' in his next novel to express his love for it, just as Vladimir Nabokov loved Lolita—he would even teach readers how to pronounce it correctly in the novel.

However, it will likely be criticized by readers.

Well, the first hurdle is getting past the editor.

By the way, Vladimir Nabokov is also very long, and he likes it very much too.

Next time I go to the bookstore, I'll buy a copy of "Lolita" to show my support.

Aoyama Risa pushed open the door and went in.

Seeing Ai standing in front of the movable blackboard writing and drawing is the evaluation of the three mystery club members.

"The reasoning club is actually the best." This surprised Aoyama Osamu.

"After all, it's a club, not a real detective agency; fun is the most important thing." See Ai said half of what she meant.

"Ok?"

"."

"what happened?"

"."

"Oh, I almost forgot, good afternoon, nice to meet you, classmate."

"Good afternoon, Aoyama-kun, are you doing this on purpose?"

"What?" Aoyama Risa laughed.

"I admire your courage, that you actually dared to turn the tables and discipline me."

"Training?"

"And what are your thoughts? What do you think of the Mystery Club, the Mystery Novel Club, and the Mystery Game Club?"

"I think you're a bad person, only an E!" That was Aoyama Ryou's opinion.

Seeing Shang Ai smile gently: "I only treat you like this, regardless of whether anyone is watching. It's different from you. If I'm not a good person, I'm only an E, then you're an F."

"I said there's no F."

"You lack the qualities of a decent human being, doesn't that fit perfectly?"

"I think the head of the reasoning club is only an E-rank; his reasoning skills are completely lacking," said Aoyama Risa.

He changed battlefields and accompanied Ai Shang: "Don't give emotional ratings. He has weak reasoning ability, but as the minister, he is very proactive and interesting. The members will not regret making him the minister and will enjoy the time spent with him."

"I see. So the evaluation of the minister also needs to take this into account. When we evaluate ourselves in the future, I think the minister only deserves an E grade. He satirizes the members every day and undermines their confidence."

"What are you talking about, Aoyama-kun?" Aoi turned her head slightly, looking puzzled. "My beauty alone is enough to make you happy like a fool every day."

"Don't you not care about your appearance?"

"Those are the criteria for choosing a husband."

After saying that, he saw Shang Ai sigh and said, "Actually, it would be best if someone could meet all my other requirements and also be good-looking, but even I think that's unrealistic."

It turns out to be a compromise made out of helplessness.

“However, I still insist that quality is more important,” she said with a smile.

"After all, one's mind and body are pure."

“That’s right.” Aoi nodded. “Since we’re talking about this, may I ask, Aoyama-kun, what are your views on choosing a partner?”

"I like any pretty girl."

"."

“What’s so surprising? Isn’t this just normal for a boy?” Aoyama Risa laughed.

Seeing that Ai was worried, she asked, "Can we get married when we're thirty?"

"what?"

"You're sixteen now, you still have twelve years. Is it too late for you to become a good person?"

"Am I the only one who likes pretty girls?! And it's not just boys, right?! Female idols and celebrities have tons of female fans too. According to your logic, are there no good people in the world?"

Seeing that Shang Ai smiled happily, she said, "Would you dare to deliberately not greet me next time?"

It was intentional.

How dare she criticize someone else's character? She has problems herself; besides being narcissistic, her biggest problems are also holding grudges!
