Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 197 Tokyo is getting hot

The weather forecast said that June 26th was the first day after the end of the rainy season in Tokyo.

After watering the vegetables, Aoyama Risa picked up his bamboo sword and began his morning practice.

He took off his shirt, revealing an increasingly muscular upper body, and kept swinging his sword.

Ono Mizuki got up very early today, sat on the veranda swinging her legs, slowly brushing her teeth while watching Aoyama Ri practice.

With each slash of his sword, Ono Mizuki mistook him for a farmer wielding a hoe or a miner digging in the mine.

It possesses a power that moves people deeply.

Five or six minutes later, Mizuki Ono returned to the bathroom, where Mika Ono was brushing her teeth.

“He’s working really hard,” she said, spitting out the foam from her mouth.

Ono Mika smiled gently and said nothing.

“Sis,” Ono Mizuki continued, “have you noticed that Ri-ge has changed a lot since he fainted and was banned from working by the school?”

Mika Ono stopped brushing her teeth and said, "Ryo hasn't changed. You just couldn't see this side of him before. Now that he's at home, you can see how hard he's trying to support the family."

"Sister, you and Li-ge have both worked hard." Ono Mizuki looked at her.

"It's tough, but I feel calmer than you, Mizuki. You're just as tired as we are."

"Oh, I'm not sad at all. It's only right that you and Li support me, so you two are the ones who have worked harder—Sis, let me brush your teeth."

"Hmm, Mizuki!"

Aoyama regained control of his body.

With complete concentration, two hours passed quickly, it really felt like the blink of an eye.

The speed of training even worried him. Could this level of training turn him into a professional player who wouldn't be ashamed of being left out of the competition before the start of the tournament?
"Brother." Ono Mizuki handed over a towel.

“I’m out of money.” Aoyama looked at her warily.

Ono Mizuki wiped him directly, and as for the fact that her actions looked more like suffocating him with a towel, we shouldn't dwell on that.

There are many things that seem painful but are actually joyful.

During breakfast, Ono Mizuki solemnly declared, "Starting today, I will improve my image in your hearts!"

"Improve impression? Why?" Mika Ono asked with a smile.

Aoyama Rika politely but quickly finished her meal; her appetite has increased significantly recently.

"Sis, do you think I don't even know how to brush my teeth?"

"This." Mika Ono's expression revealed that she was thinking this, but wouldn't admit it, and was looking for reasons to refute it.

"Brother!" Ono Mizuki looked at Aoyama Risa, "In your eyes, I'm just a money-grubber, aren't I?"

"No," Aoyama Rimi replied instantly, continuing to eat.

"Hmph, I'll prove to you that I, Mizuki, am trustworthy!" Ono Mizuki proudly picked up her rice, as if she had already succeeded.

Ono Mika smiled.

hum~
Aoyama Ryo's phone rang.

"Is it time to gather?" Mizuki Ono asked immediately.

"The meeting time is in the afternoon, it's still early." Aoyama Ryou put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone.

"Who is it?" Mika Ono asked.

"It's about the Athenian Philosophical Research Department."

"Do you have anything planned for the weekend?" Ono Mika asked curiously.

"Something's up!" Ono Mizuki's weekend-only ahoge (cowlick) stood up.

"Are you guys going or not?" Aoyama Risa handed his phone to the two of them.

[Yaeko Miyayo: 8:30 PM, Komazawa Olympic Park Baseball Stadium, Kaiming Baseball Club's first Koshien game @KimiKami @Aoyama Ryo]

[See Love Online: This is a great opportunity to evaluate the baseball team, cheerleading team, and brass band team @Aoyama Osamu]

"Shall we go take a look?" Aoyama Ryo confirmed again.

“I’m fine with anything, Mizuki, what about you?” Ono Mika asked.

"Give me 100 yen and I'll go!" Ono Mizuki looked like she wanted to punch herself.

"Free?" Aoyama asked with a smile as he sipped his soup.

"free!"

The sky was azure, with snow-capped clouds piled up on the horizon, and it had been hot since morning.

With the rainy season over, Tokyo has officially entered summer.

The cicadas chirped incessantly, and the crows that flew over Komazawa University Station were so black they looked as if they were about to burst into flames.

As soon as I stepped out of the station, the sun was so intense it seemed to have a physical form, scorching everything.

Aoyama held an umbrella, while the Ono sisters hid on either side of him.

"Tokyo summers are so hot!" Ono Mizuki even had to hide her feet in the shade of an umbrella, as if it would set her on fire.

Before even stepping onto the stadium, I could already hear the Koshien cheering theme.

"Has it already started?" Mizuki Ono asked anxiously.

Aoyama Risa quickened his pace slightly.

The two teams ran onto the field at the same time, and rushed towards each other like two chopsticks about to come together.

"It's magnificent!" Ono Mika was referring to the size of the stadium.

"Go over there." Aoyama pointed to the only shady spot on the entire court.

This reminded him of his high school stadium in his previous life, where only the VIP stands had a roof to protect them from the rain and sun.

Miyako Yaeko and Mikami Ai were over there, clearly separated from the people around them, and protected by bodyguards.

The two men's bodyguards were also familiar with Aoyama Risa.

"They sent me," he said, but they didn't let him in.

"Too slow!" Only when Shang Ai's voice came over did the bodyguard let him in.

After exchanging greetings, the three of them sat down.

"The support group for Kaiming High School is amazing!" Ono Mika exclaimed.

The entire brass band was dressed in red support uniforms, and they had all their instruments, from trumpets to double basses, all moved from the clubroom to the sports field.

Accompanying the music from the wind band was the cheering of the cheerleaders.

"It's so cool here," said Mizuki Ono.

I always feel like there's an air conditioner blowing directly on this place.

Unlike the 'female idol kicking off' circulating online, this match was actually kicked off by a little boy who looked to be in kindergarten.

With such a small body, he managed to throw the ball 18.44 meters and land it steadily in the catcher's glove, eliciting gasps from the audience.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Even the Ono sisters exclaimed in admiration.

The game officially begins.

"Huh?" Ono Mizuki suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, what are you doing on the other side?"

She did it on purpose.

Kaiming High School's first opponent in the Summer Koshien Qualifying Tournament is Aoyama High School.

If someone else said this, depending on how close the relationship is, Aoyama would choose to respond with either 'ignore' or 'bored'.

But it was Ono Mizuki who said those words.

"Go, Aoyama!" Aoyama shouted.

"Hehe~" Ono Mizuki covered her mouth and laughed, her big eyes turning into crescent moons, and her eye bags were extremely cute.

Kids need to be played with more.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” said Miyako Yaeko. “Aoyama’s best result so far is reaching the third round.”

"Miya-senpai, how many rounds do we need to play to get into Koshien?" Ono Mizuki asked curiously.

"According to this year's schedule, someone like Aoyama, who isn't very strong, needs to win seven consecutive rounds to qualify for the Tokyo International Championships." Ai Mikami held up a form.

“Even if we make it to the third round, I don’t think Kaiming will necessarily win!” said Aoyama Rido.

The match ended prematurely in the eighth inning.

In the end, Qingshan scored 0 points, while Kaiming High School scored 7 points.

"I didn't think Aoyama could win, but I didn't expect him to lose so badly." Miyako shook her head slightly. "It was ugly."

"The opponent is so weak, Aoyama, that it's completely useless as a reference point, so there's no way to make an evaluation." Mikami pondered, "But some of the cheerleaders and brass band members are very serious."

"Excuse me," said Aoyama Risa. "Miyayo-kun, Mikami-kun, may I ask how you usually address me as 'older sister' and 'younger sister'?"

"Why ask this question?" Miyako knew why, which was why she asked the question, in order to change the subject.

Ai knew this, but she wanted Aoyama to know that she was doing it on purpose, so she answered, "Mika-senpai, Mizuki-senpai."

"Your relationship isn't close enough to call them by their first names, so why do you address them like that?" Aoyama Rika asked again.

"Of course it's because they all share the surname 'Ono.' If they all called me 'Ono-kun,' then it would be impossible to tell who I was talking to," Ai Mikami laughed.

“Yes! If that’s the case, why don’t you explain the situation of ‘Aoyama Academy’ and ‘Aoyama Rin’ clearly?!” Miyako Yaeko laughed, still remaining silent.

"Ara~" Ai said with a smile, "Aoyama-kun, do you want me to use the polite and friendly term 'Ri-kun'?"

“I’m leaving.” Aoyama Ryo stood up.

"Let's eat together." Miyako Yaeko also stood up.

"No need, Miyako-senpai, we have things to do this afternoon," Ono Mizuki said cheerfully.

Seeing that Ai glanced at Aoyama Osamu and then looked at Ono Mizuki, she asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you need any help?"

"No, no~" Ono Mizuki was even happier than the Kaimei High School baseball team who had won the game. "My brother, Kobayashi-senpai, and Aizawa-senpai went to eat yakiniku (grilled meat) and won a trip to Okinawa. There are seven of us in total, and we're planning to buy swimsuits this afternoon~"

"A lottery?" Miyako Yaeko repeated with a smile.

“Seven people.” Jian Ai nodded, seemingly acknowledging something.

“Let’s go!” Aoyama Ryo said again.

“Let’s eat together,” Miyako Yaeko repeated.

The teacher said, "Listen carefully in class," and then, after you accidentally revealed your phone hidden in your sleeve, said "Listen carefully in class" again.

“If they’re treating, then I’ll go,” said Aoyama Risa.

Miyako smiled, a hint of disdain in her expression—that's the kind of smile a girlfriend would give when her boyfriend showed off his basketball skills and missed all ten shots, before turning away.

The Ono sisters rode in a 62s that met Aoi's eyes, while Aoyama Risa and Miyase Yaeko rode in a black luxury car.

On the bus, Aoyama tried his best to minimize his presence without losing face.

"What happened?" asked Miyako Yaeko.

After thinking it over, Qingshan didn't feel there was anything wrong with this matter.

"They asked me to come along so they could cover for them and also to thank me for my suggestion, all in order to pursue girls," he said.

"Have fun." Miyako Yaeko nodded.

They arrived at Qingshan Avenue and ordered exquisite dishes at a charming little shop called "Qingshan".

After eating the food at this restaurant, you can't help but exclaim "Mmm!" and your eyes will really light up.

It's roughly at the mid-tier level of Grade B.

"Delicious!" Aoyama Risa was the main force in finishing off the food.

"Isn't it tastier if you make it yourself?" Miyako asked.

“He rarely does it.” Ono Mizuki also ate very enthusiastically.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Ono Mika bowed slightly to the two of them.

“It’s only right that we let you out on such a hot day,” said Miyako Yaeko.

Seeing that Ai had given the firefly squid she didn't like to Aoyama Ryo, who hadn't had enough, watching him eat it heartily without hesitation.

She then handed him the chicken liver that she herself didn't eat.

"This is spicy." After finishing the meal, he quickly went to get some water.

I find it amusing when I see someone who smiles.

Ono Mika glanced at her.

Miyako glanced at the three of them—when the Ono sisters were around, she still dared to do these things in front of Aoi, so it seems she really has no feelings for Aoyama Osamu.

Remembering her plan to improve her impression, Ono Mizuki stood up and poured water into Aoyama Riki's empty water glass.

"Next week is the monthly exam, and the week after that is the final exam. When are you planning to go to Okinawa?" Miyako asked Mizuki Ono.

"We'll set off after the monthly exams on the 30th. We're planning to hold a study session in Okinawa!" Ono Mizuki's eyes turned into crescent moons again.

She's incredibly sweet and adorable.

"Mizuki, would you like this?" Misaki handed her the grilled sweetfish that she liked.

"Thank you for meeting you, senior~" Ono Mizuki picked up a sweetfish with her chopsticks, took a bite, and squinted her eyes with a satisfied look.

Seeing that her smile had deepened, she felt even more affectionate.

Miyako glanced at Aoi again.

Is it because he had no interest in something and acted impulsively, or is he seemingly acting impulsively but actually concealing his true intentions?
After the meal, the five said their goodbyes.

“If I don’t study hard this time in Okinawa, I’ll give you another chance to mock me,” Mikami Ai said to Aoyama Risa.

“Mind your own business. I’ll definitely surpass you before the end of our second year of high school!” said Aoyama Rido.

Seeing Ai smile, she said to the Ono sisters, "Goodbye."

Aoyama Riki asked Miyako Yaeko, "Give me some motivation. Please tell me, what does it feel like to be second in the whole school?"

“Losing is a terrible feeling,” Miyako Yaeko replied.

She looked at Aoyama Rin and smiled: "Isn't this what you wanted to hear?"

“This is exactly what I need.” Aoyama Risa put his hands in his pockets. “I have no choice but to be number one.”

“Let’s work together,” said Yaeko Miyayo.

She nodded slightly to the Ono sisters, turned and walked towards the car, her black hair so beautiful it seemed to steal one's soul.

After watching them leave, Aoyama Osamu and the Ono sisters headed to the station to meet up with Kobayashi Shiki and the others.

While the girl was buying her swimsuit, three boys stayed outside.

"I have a really strange feeling right now," said Shiki Kobayashi, looking conflicted. "I want Misato to wear a sexy swimsuit, but I also don't want her to."

“Me too.” Jun Aizawa nodded.

“I can’t understand it,” said Aoyama Osamu.

“Senior Meihua is your adopted sister, and Junior Meiyue is your adopted sister, so of course you can’t understand!” said Kobayashi Shiki.

"Aoyama, don't you like Mika-senpai and Mizuki-senpai?" Aizawa Jun asked, a little puzzled. "You can get married."

"That guy Aoyama definitely likes to see his classmates or the student council president," Kobayashi Shiki said with certainty.

"I like any beautiful girl." Aoyama Risa's original intention remains unchanged, making him a true man.

"A beautiful saint won't do!"

"Dongpu won't do either!"

"I'm not interested in married women."

A slender, but extremely busty married woman, wearing a very short skirt that almost exposed her buttocks, walked past the three people.

The three of them remained silent, watching out of the corner of their eyes.

“A!” said Shiki Kobayashi.

“Yes!” Jun Aizawa nodded.

“Your A is too cheap. I think only B is good enough,” said Aoyama Osamu.

"Your expectations are too high!" said Kobayashi Shiki.

"After all, I spend my days with classmates and the student council president, and when I get home, I have seniors like Mika and Mizuki to keep me company, so of course my aesthetic sense is high," said Jun Aizawa.

“It’s definitely better to be conservative,” Kobayashi Shiki suddenly said.

"Why?" Jun Aizawa looked at him.

"What does it have to do with you whether someone else's wife is conservative or revealing?" Aoyama asked, puzzled.

“Aoyama, although you disguise yourself very well, sometimes I think you’re the most perverted one among us,” Kobayashi Shiki said. “I’m talking about Misato! I hope she dresses more conservatively, and only buys sexy swimsuits when it’s just the two of us.”

“Me too,” Aizawa Jun said.

hum~
All three of their phones rang at the same time.

[Inoue Misato: Get ready, guys! Kana and I bought super sexy swimsuits this time~]

[Kana Higashiura: I was encouraged by Misato!]

"It's okay, it's just a swimsuit. Besides, it's her freedom to choose what to wear. I shouldn't have any objections!" Despite his words of comfort, Kobayashi Shiki inexplicably showed an expression of extreme excitement.

“Me too!” Jun Aizawa said.

[Shiki Kobayashi: Looking forward to it!]

[Jun Aizawa: You all have great figures, show them off confidently!]

Aoyama immediately sent a message to the Ono sisters.

[Aoyama Osamu: No sexy swimsuits allowed!]

Inside the swimwear store, four girls gathered together, looking at messages on their phones.

"Kobayashi and Aizawa's love wasn't deep enough to overcome lust," said Inoue Misato.

“Aoyama-kun is the true love.” Higashiura Kana looked at the Ono sisters with envy.

Ono Mizuki blushed furiously.

Mika Ono smiled wryly and said, "It's just a difference in perspective—Li is more chauvinistic, while Kobayashi and Aizawa are easier to talk to and respect you."

“That’s right, that’s right!” Mizuki Ono quickly chimed in.

“Okay~” Inoue Misato laughed. She was just joking. “Forget about these boys, let’s buy what we like.”
