Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 185 Visiting? Paying Respects?
On June 19th, the group returned to Tokyo.

Tokyo is experiencing continuous rain. The warm, humid high-pressure system in the Pacific Ocean meets the cold air from the north, creating the plum rain season.

Aoyama Ryo lay on the bed, with a pillow under his knees, engrossed in reading.

I can finish a book in two hours and still have plenty of energy, unlike before when I would feel physically tired and weary.

Aoyama looked out the window; light rain pattered on the windowpane, leaving needle-like marks.

"Maid Number One, I need to use the restroom." He picked up his phone and sent a voice message in the group chat of Aoyama Ono's family. "Maid Number Two, prepare fruit, pastries and tea for me. I want to watch the rain from the veranda."

Maid No. 1 came to Aoyama Risa's side and helped him up.

"Sister, don't help him. Let him call me master first," said Maid Number Two.

"You want to rebel?"

"We'll buy you diapers."

"Master Beautiful Flowers, Master Beautiful Moon." Ri Aoyama said.

Maid #1 smiled and helped him to the toilet, while Maid #2 went to prepare fruit, pastries, and tea for him.

After placing Aoyama Risa on the toilet, Ono Mika left, leaving him alone.

—Maid number three, peeing.

The system did not respond.

—System Master, take a piss.

The system still didn't respond.

It seems it's not a problem with the name; it's simply a system that can't even urinate, it's hopeless.

After somewhat awkwardly resolving the problem, Aoyama knocked on the door, and Ono Mika pushed it open and came in.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

“A little,” Aoyama replied.

It's not the pain from urinating, it's the pain in my back. It's a little better when I stand up straight and don't move, but it hurts as soon as I move.

Aoyama Risa lay down on the veranda, enjoying the snacks she hadn't finished at the forest school while watching the rain.

In the courtyard, some of the vegetables, such as eggplant, pepper, tomato, watermelon, and cucumber, look cheerful, while others seem to be shrinking back, waiting for the plum rains to pass.

The pine trees reflected the light, and the pebbles on the ground were dark, making it look like water at first glance.

"Splash!" The carp in the pond leaped out.

"Fish like to get wet in the rain too," Mizuki Ono said, gazing at the fishpond.

"It's probably because they can't stand the stuffiness," Aoyama Rinori thought.

"Will I die?" Mika Ono asked worriedly.

"Carp is edible too," Aoyama comforted her, assuring her that her death wouldn't have been in vain.

Ono Mika paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Oh, right, let me show you!" Ono Mizuki knelt down and crawled to the two of them, opening a travel video on her phone.

Gunjo Hachiman Castle in Gifu Prefecture.

Carp, as fat as cats, are kept in the sewer. In summer, the water is crystal clear, the aquatic plants are lush, and the carp are leisurely swimming. The sound of wind chimes can be heard from time to time in the background.

"I really want to go," Ono Mika said enviously.

"It's too fatty and doesn't look very appetizing, but that's okay, I have the skills," commented Aoyama Osamu.

Ono Mizuki rolled her eyes at her brother.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

The three of them started moving at the same time. Aoyama Rina took the food, while Ono Mika and Ono Mizuki got up to open the door.

“I’ll go,” said Mika Ono.

Ono Mizuki then showed Aoyama Risa other travel videos she had collected.

"Instead of looking at these, why not make a travel guide for the Seto Inland Sea, Furano, and Kyoto?" said Aoyama Rido.

"Why should I do everything? I'll only do Furano, Kyoto is yours, Setouchi returnee sister." Ono Mizuki acted like a spoiled little girl.

Aoyama couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

"You!" Ono Mizuki raised her hand to strike.

"I'm injured!" Aoyama Riki immediately said.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~" Ono Mizuki was very angry, and her breath hit Aoyama Risa's face.

While eating snacks, Aoyama looked towards the courtyard, and Ono Mika walked from the house to the gate with an umbrella.

"I feel like a rich heiress," he said.

Ono Mizuki quickly took a picture, a smile on her face.

Moving from a run-down apartment to this luxurious home fills me with joy every time I think about it.

They will get better and better.

"Guess who's coming?" Aoyama Risa said to her with a smile.

"Hmph~, who else could it be but senior students and senior students?" Ono Mizuki stared at the screen and pressed the shutter button as if she were grabbing a ticket.

Her method of taking photos is simple: accumulate enough photos, and then select the good ones from them.

“When we go out to play, I’ll show you the photography skills I learned while working part-time at Nikon,” said Aoyama Risa.

In the distance, in front of the courtyard gate, Ono Mika stepped aside, and Mikami Ai, holding an umbrella, walked in.

Aoyama Rika just said that Ono Mika has the air of a rich young lady from a mansion, so it's clear that as soon as Kami Ai appeared, she was immediately overshadowed.

There's no way around it; in this regard, Love is the expert.

Her long, straight black hair cascaded down to her waist. She possessed an elegant demeanor and a beautiful appearance. The hydrangeas in the June rainy season were beautiful, but whenever she appeared on a rainy day, that rainy day became enchanting.

In comparison, Ono Mika seemed more approachable, though she didn't have the same air of a young lady.

To explain the difference between the two—

On rainy days in June, people who see love among the hydrangeas will think it's an illusion, believing it to be the goddess of hydrangeas, and they will talk about it with great interest.

When he sees Ono Mika, he becomes absent-minded and stays by her side, keeping her in his sight. He hesitates whether to muster the courage to ask for her contact information. If he misses the opportunity, he regrets it deeply. Before his wedding, he will think of this scene and wonder, "What would have happened if I had gone up to ask for her contact information?" From then on, he has developed a special affection for June hydrangea.

I saw Ai enter the Japanese-style living room.

"Excuse me." After saying hello, her gaze began to search for the sheriff.

The sheriff was curled up in the corner, fast asleep.

Before Aoyama could even react, he saw that Ue was already kneeling in front of the sheriff, admiring the cat's sleeping face as if it were her three-month-old child.

Qingshan Li can understand.

He would look at his vegetable garden, which he cultivated himself, for five minutes every time he left in the morning or returned home in the evening.

Never get tired of watching it.

I looked at Shang Ai for three or four minutes before arriving at Yuanlang.

"Please sit down," said Mika Ono.

Seeing that Ai glanced at Aoyama Rin lying on the ground, smiled, and then sat down.

What was that expression on her face?! It was as if Aoyama had meticulously found a thin stone, only to have it skip across the water twice!
After seeing Ai take a sip of tea, she took out a card from her bag.

“This is my friend’s VIP card.” She handed the card to Mika Ono.

"Thank you." Ono Mika accepted it.

This card alone gives the impression that it's worth a lot of money, and that impression is basically correct; the gold on it must at least be genuine.

"Oh, right." Aoyama Risa suddenly remembered, "I've already figured out how to make it up to me for getting injured while saving you, Kenjiro-kun."

She gazed at him with love.

Do we need compensation?

If she doesn't say anything, does he just pretend it never happened?

“We’re planning a summer trip, tentatively to the Seto Inland Sea, Furano, and Kyoto. Could you help us with the arrangements? Wait a minute, once we’ve decided on the specific places we want to visit, you can help us with the arrangements. You can also recommend some fun places based on your experience,” said Aoyama Osamu.

After saying that, he added, "Remember to include food, lodging, and transportation as well."

The Ono sisters glanced at him and thought he was shameless.

They didn't think that what Aoyama Risa did wasn't worth these things, but rather that asking for them was a bit shameless.

Ono Mika couldn't help but wonder again, was it really just thick-skinned? Or maybe it was just because they were close. Perhaps something happened at the forest school that she and Ono Mizuki didn't know about.

"No problem." Seeing that Shang Ai nodded, it was just a matter of a word to her anyway.

Ono Mizuki couldn't help but ask, "Now that we've met you, do you have any recommendations for these three places?"

Seeing that Ai had picked up her teacup, she pondered for a moment and said, "First, let's talk about the route. I suggest going to Kyoto first, then Furano, and finally the Seto Inland Sea."

"What do you think?" Aoyama asked the Ono sisters.

“It’s okay,” Mika Ono said.

Seeing Ai smile, she said, "You can go see the Gion Festival in Kyoto, as well as the fireworks display on the Uji River and the flowing noodles at Kifune Shrine—take out Yaeko's card, and when you get to Kyoto, you can treat it like your own home."

"That's amazing?" Aoyama Ryo asked curiously.

No matter how amazing they are, the Ono sisters have no interest in them.

"Tell me more, I'll gather the information," said Aoyama Risa, and they could only listen.

Seeing that Shang Ai was looking at him, she pretended not to understand, but actually asked jokingly, "Are you an author who is willing to do anything for research, or an author who says that everything you do is for research?"

“I want to ask too!” Ono Mizuki immediately said.

The Ono sisters were curious.

"It depends," said Aoyama Risa.

"Whichever version of events is more favorable to you is the one to follow." See above for confirmation.

"It depends."

"It seems to be the latter," said Aoi. "There's not much to say, it's just that the Gong family has more businesses in Kyoto."

"Where is your home?" Aoyama asked.

Seeing that Shang Ai hesitated, seemingly weighing her options, she said, "If I had to say, I'd say more about the Northeast."

It's not Northeast China. Every country has its own Northeast. In Japan, Northeast refers to Fukushima, Yamagata, Miyagi, Akita, Iwate, and Aomori.

She continued, "My friends' families are mainly in the Kanto region, especially Kanagawa; Yaeko's friends' families are mainly in the Chubu region, including Nagano, Shizuoka, and Aichi."

"Damn capitalism!" Aoyama Ryo cursed.

Some insults won't make people hate you, for example, when your teammate calls you a "kill-stealing dog".

“You earn much more than me,” Ai said with a smile. “Want to know how much ‘Detective A’ has made now? The overseas rights have been sold too.”

"In no mood!"

Even the most cultured person cannot remain indifferent to all unpleasant things, but they can actively avoid them, which is also a way to maintain a peaceful state of mind.

Aoyama Osamu pressed on, "After visiting Kyoto, do you have any recommendations for Furano?"

Mizuki Ono stared at Ai Mikami, and Ai Mikami knew that Furano was the place she wanted to go.

Seeing Ai, she couldn't help but laugh. Even though she was a huge cat lover, she thought Ono Mizuki was cuter than a cat.

"Since you've chosen to go to Furano during the summer vacation, you must already know about the lavender fields. In addition, you can also check out the Navel Festival and the Blue Pond Night Lights."

Ono Mizuki quickly jotted it down in her memo.

“Finally, there’s the Seto Inland Sea,” said Osamu Aoyama.

"Ogijima Island in the Seto Inland Sea is known as the 'Cat Island,' but you can hardly find any cats even after walking all over the island. It's a huge difference from what's advertised, so huge that I think it could be considered a scam."

"Alright, alright, we won't go to Ogijima, don't worry," Aoyama Osamu quickly interrupted.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The Ono sisters think this side of her is quite cute.

Seeing that Ai had taken a sip of tea, I explained the sights in the Seto Inland Sea to them.

She didn't suggest any niche destinations; she thought that for the three of them who had never traveled before, visiting some well-known tourist spots might be more suitable.

"When you meet your senior, what are your plans for summer vacation?" Ono Mizuki asked curiously about the young lady's schedule.

"I might go abroad to live for a while, and I'll probably go skiing," Ai answered, though she herself wasn't entirely sure.

"That's wonderful," Ono Mizuki said enviously.

“You could change Furano to a skiing trip,” suggested Aoyama Osamu.

"Hmm—, never mind," said Mizuki Ono. "I want to save my first skiing experience for winter."

"Should we still go to Kyoto?" Aoyama suddenly asked. "How about we go swimming at the beach instead?"

“Kyoto is fun too,” Mika Ono said with a smile. “Of course, you can decide where you want to go.”

"Let me think about it some more." Aoyama Rika pondered for a moment, then seemed to remember something and said to Mikami Ai, "If there's nothing else, go back. I'm injured and can't provide meals."

"Can't you hold on a little longer?" Seeing that Shang Ai hadn't finished speaking, she laughed to herself.

She rose gracefully: "Then I'll take my leave. Take care of yourself."

"Maid Number One, see the guest out," said Aoyama Risa.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"I'll sit a little longer, then we'll leave together." Seeing that Shang Ai was smiling, she sat down again.

Ono Mika opened the door again with an umbrella, and this time it was Miyako Yaeko who came.

She was also there to deliver cards.

"Thank you, but there's no lunch," said Aoyama Risa.

It wasn't that they wanted to stay for a meal, but since someone was delivering a card, Aoyama Risa seemed a bit indifferent. So, Ono Mizuki said, "If you don't mind, please stay and have lunch with me. However, I haven't worked part-time in various restaurants, so the taste isn't as good as my brother's."

"Isn't it tiring for one person to cook for five people?" Aoyama Rika asked.

“No need, we’ll be leaving soon,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"You stay and chat with them, I'll go check on the cats for a bit longer, call me when you leave." (Seeing Ai go see the sheriff.)

The sheriff changed his position, lying on his back in the cat bed, snoring even though he was young.

Instead of disliking her, she showed a look of affection, hoping that if her husband snores in the future, she can uphold the principle that animals and humans are equal.

After explaining the matter of refunding the money, Miyako Yaeko got up to take her leave.

Seeing that Ai was walking over, he stood with her and said goodbye to Aoyama Rie, who was lying on the ground.

Looking in from the outside, the drizzling rain, the rustic veranda, the witch-like beauties, the elegant beauties, the serene beauties, the sweet beauties, and the people lying on the ground all combine to form a picture.

The carp in the fishpond leaped up.

It should be thankful that Aoyama Riki injured his back, otherwise it would have been today's ingredient.

Mika Ono was about to see the two off when the doorbell rang again.

Seeing that Ai and Yaeko Miyagi were both looking at Osamu Aoyama.

"Besides us, are there other people coming to see you?" Miyako asked.

“I know a lot of people,” said Ai with a smile.

[The Girl Who Rules the World: 96.9%]

"Maybe they're an NHK toll collector or a cult!" For some reason, Aoyama felt a sense of unease.

"I'll go open the door," said Mika Ono.

“Let’s stay a little longer,” said Ai.

Miyako Yaeko had already sat down.

Ono Mizuki secretly pinched Aoyama Osamu, a distance that would normally be convenient for serving him, but which also made assassination easier.

It wasn't NHK or a cult that came.

Amakusa, Rena Nome, Misato Inoue, Shiki Kobayashi, Jun Aizawa, The Girl I Don't Know, Elsa Amau.

"Aoyama, we've come to see you!" Kobayashi Shiki shouted as soon as he was still in the entrance hall.

As soon as they entered the Japanese-style living room, they immediately became mute, startled by Miyako Yaeko and Mikami Ai.

"More than having fun, I feel like you guys are using 'visiting me' as an excuse to get together," said Aoyama Risa.

“Aoyama-kun, I brought a very effective ointment. I asked Kuse-sensei, and it can be used in your condition.” Amamiya Elsa was the only one who dared to walk over directly, and she also knelt down on the veranda.

Miyako Yaeko's long black hair was spread out on the tatami mat, creating a breathtaking beauty.

Seeing that her black hair was three or four centimeters away from the tatami mat, she was elegant and charming, reminiscent of a nobleman;

Elsa Tenyu had golden hair tied back, giving her a pure and elegant appearance.

For those who love hair, this is an A-grade feast.

These three people, along with Ono Mizuki, seemed to be enjoying an A-grade human feast, with Aoyama Osamu lying on the ground and needing help to urinate.
