Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 222 As a condiment, the girl is not delicious.

Aoyama Ryo coughed lightly.

"Let's go." He made way for him.

Seeing that Shang Ai didn't press the matter further, they assumed he was just talking nonsense in his excitement.

The two boarded the subway and headed to Hakata Station.

Perhaps because it was summer vacation, or perhaps because the prestigious Jade Dragon Flag Kendo tournament was about to begin, the train carriages were packed with people.

At one corner of the car door, Aoyama Riki saw the person above protecting him.

"You're quite skilled." Seeing Ai cross her arms, she chuckled softly, "Have you ever worked part-time as a bodyguard?"

“I’ve never worked as a bodyguard, but I’ve always acted as a younger brother or older brother, protecting my older and younger sisters,” said Aoyama Risa.

Seeing that Shang Ai smiled and nodded slightly.

“I could have imagined that, but what I really didn’t expect was that you would protect me so diligently,” she said.

"This is to prevent accidents." Aoyama Ryo looked away.

Someone pushed him from behind, the force came suddenly, but luckily he was cautious and managed to hold on with his [Force: B].

Someone else is pushing, and they're even stronger, but it's okay! He still has [body: B]!
The strength is continuous and inexhaustible, but that's okay! [Talent: Abundant Energy]!
Aoyama Risa did everything in her power to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen between her and Mikami Ai.

The way he tried his best made Jian Shangai want to pay him a salary, feeling that he deserved some compensation.

“I heard,” Ai Mikami began, “that you deleted your female classmate’s contact information and even assaulted a guest staying at the same hotel?”

"How can you call something that happened in the gym a fight? No matter how exaggerated it is, it can only be considered a friendly spar." Whether it was Miyako Yaeko or Mikami Ai, Aoyama Ritsu insisted on his opinion.

“You’ve only been in Fukuoka for a few days, and you’ve already caused so much trouble. Even a sophisticated and composed young lady like me can’t remain completely unmoved,” Ai Mikami said.

Yes, you can't remain indifferent; you're laughing heartily.

“I really appreciate the fact that you deleted the female classmate’s contact information,” said Ai.

"Don't admire me."

"Ok?"

"I only do things according to my own principles, and there are bound to be some things that you don't appreciate."

"It's okay, I won't point out things I don't appreciate."

"Really?" asked Aoyama Rie.

“But our relationship is still okay. I might not be able to control myself, but don’t worry, I mean no harm,” said Ai.

“I believe it,” Aoyama nodded. “I also believe that the butcher had no ill intentions toward the pigs being slaughtered.”

Seeing that Shang Ai laughed, she said, "If you turn into a pig, I won't let the butcher kill you. I'll raise you and make you the happiest pig in the world."

"You're wrong. A human turned into a pig is destined to be less happy than all other pigs."

"You've entered the realm of philosophy." I saw that Ai Xin was pleased.

Aoyama Ri: "."

"What's wrong? You look like you can't accept it?" Jian Ai turned her head slightly and looked him up and down with a smile.

"It's just a conclusion I've drawn from my own experience."

"Tell me."

“Philosophy is indeed nonsense,” said Aoyama Osamu.

She smiled when she saw him.

The journey of about five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, as fast as taking a short nap in the morning.

Upon arriving at Hakata Station, the two got off the train and overheard two women who had gotten off with them talking about them.

"The boy loves his girlfriend very much."

"The girl is not good; she only enjoys being pampered by her boyfriend and doesn't care about him at all."

"Even family members need to make mutual efforts to make a relationship last, let alone lovers who are not yet family."

"I think they'll break up."

"Not necessarily, the girl is too pretty."

After walking a short distance away, Aoyama Osamu said with a smile, "They only affirmed your appearance and denied your inner qualities. You have become the person you hate the most."

"If I were to care for you like a girlfriend, then I'd have a problem inside." Seeing that Shang Ai didn't seem to care, he said, "Can I offer you some water? Would you like some?"

"Don't even think about filling my stomach with anything else before meals!"

Seeing that Shang Ai gave him a disapproving look, she then laughed at herself.

Soon after, the two joined the Ono sisters and the four members of the Sunny Day Band, making the group quite eye-catching.

"From a distance, it looks like you're filming a TV drama!" Akika Agasa said to the two of them.

“From a distance, you all look very professional,” said Aoyama Rido.

It was one thing for Akika Gasai and the others to be carrying guitars and basses, but drummer Yumemi was pushing a huge box containing her drum kit.

"What do you mean by 'looking from a distance'?" Bess Sakura asked, tilting her head.

"Yeah, does that mean it isn't when you look closely?" Drummer Yumeshi deliberately provoked him out of excitement.

"When I was running with Sister Meihua, she said that you guys never seem to do physical training?" Aoyama asked.

The four members of the Sunny Day Band looked at Mika Ono.

Ono Mika held back her laughter.

"My hotel has a gym. Starting tomorrow, you'll all work out with me in the mornings. Mika-nee, you join us too," announced producer, manager, and general helper Aoyama Osamu.

"What were you saying to him?" Akika Gasai scolded Bess Sakura. "Can't we just isolate him together?"

"Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder," Bess Sakura murmured to herself.

Everyone laughed.

Amid laughter, Aoyama Rido said, "I'm not joking about exercising together in the morning."

"Wow, this person has absolutely no sense of perspective."

"How annoying, he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend."

"He might still be a virgin."

"Completely correct." Aoyama Risa had to admit.

"Hahahaha!" The bursts of laughter from the girls are enough to leave tourists with a good impression of Fukuoka as a place with "many beautiful women and a love of laughter".

The Ono sisters and Mikami Ai were also laughing happily.

The group originally planned to go straight to dinner, but the Sunny Band's luggage exceeded their expectations, so they had to stay overnight first.

They stayed at the same hotel where Aoyama Ono and the other two were staying.

Their family is also wealthy, although it's just an ordinary room, unlike Aoyama and his family's luxurious suite that's like a large penthouse.

“In that case, I’ll stay here too, to save myself the trouble,” said Ai.

—Since we're all staying in the same hotel, won't something unexpected happen again?
Probably not, since everyone doesn't share a room.

After putting down their luggage, the eight of them went to a nearby barbecue restaurant together.

In late July, the nights in Fukuoka felt muggy, but the number of pedestrians on the streets increased day by day.

"Why choose to eat barbecue on such a hot day?" F. Rino kept tugging at her chest.

You've suffered!
Aoyama Risa admitted that he had lacked consideration.

"The hotter the weather, the more enjoyable it is to eat barbecue!" Drummer Mengshi said, taking big bites of meat.

Akika Wagatsuma nudged Sakura Bess, and after swallowing the beef tongue in her mouth, she said, "Why do I keep seeing Kamiya-kun? What's wrong with her?"

Everyone looked over curiously.

Seeing that she loved herself, she also wanted to know, worried that something like getting seasoning on her nose might happen.

"Everyone had ice packs on their foreheads, but why did the junior girl look so pretty? The blue ice pack made her look like an ice princess," said Bess Sakura.

Everyone looked at Shang Ai.

"Ah, it really does look very similar."

"This is what a real beautiful girl looks like."

They were also captivated by her beauty. Her elegant demeanor, long black hair, and blue ice packs gave her an ethereal quality, making her look like a noblewoman.

Unfortunately, since she didn't care about appearance, these compliments only elicited a polite smile from her, not a shy one.

"You don't need to praise her so much just because she treated us, do you?" Aoyama said while grilling the meat.

"Does Junior Aoyama think it's not good to meet his classmates?" My wife Akika asked curiously.

Aoyama Rika glanced at Kanami Ai and said, "Not bad."

"Not bad?" Akika Wagatsuma repeated, her tone as if she were weighing the weight of the word.

"ABCDE, which one?" Jian Shang asked, looking at him.

This wicked woman probably guessed that Aoyama Risa couldn't lie about this.

"Who wants the beef brisket A?" Aoyama asked.

"What did you say?" the drummer Mengshi asked, confirming.

"Who wants the beef brisket?" "Deliberately avoiding the question?" Drummer Mengshi said to the crowd, "Looks like I heard right, it's 'A'!"

"Why are you avoiding it?" Akika asked curiously, the kind of curiosity that comes from knowing the answer but deliberately being curious.

"Oh~~" the girls cheered.

Nobody ate the beef brisket, so Aoyama Risa ate it all by himself, and it didn't taste very good.

After dinner, everyone took a walk, but because it was so hot, they rushed into the mall as if they were diving into a swimming pool.

Aoyama tried to keep his distance from them to prevent any accidents.

At 10:30, the eight people returned to the hotel.

After taking a shower, Aoyama Risa was about to continue torturing the system when he saw a message from Shang Ai.

[See Love Online: Can I see the manuscript of your new book?]

Nothing is off limits.

[Aoyama Rika: While you're at it, please check my typos.]

[See above: Okay.]

Aoyama Ryo walked into the living room and turned on his computer.

"Ready to write your article?" Ono Mika asked, holding a water glass, wearing a light pink two-piece nightgown, her hair half-wet.

"If you want to see what I've written, I'll send it to you and ask you to check for any typos."

"Mm." Ono Mika nodded.

She glanced at Aoyama Ryou's back for three seconds, then turned to leave.

"Sister Meihua."

Ono Mika turned around, and Aoyama Riya turned around to look at her.

“Meeting Ai is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful,” said Aoyama Rika.

He told a little lie.

Ono Mika is just as beautiful as Mikami Ai, no one is more beautiful.

But the world would forgive him for this lie—any man has said this to his girlfriend; any woman would think that this is the kind of lie a man should say.

"Ah!" he said, using a 'don't misunderstand' tone. "I'm not confessing my feelings to you, I'm just clarifying something."

Ono Mika smiled and nodded gently: "I understand."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Back in her room, Ono Mika and Aoyama Osamu, who had just finished sending out documents and were heading to the kendo room, both remembered that incident: Aoyama Osamu's second confession.

Aoyama Rin was not confident.

After his first confession in Okinawa, his relationship with Ono Mika remained unchanged.

It didn't get better, nor worse, and there was no ambiguity or awkwardness, as if the first confession had never happened.

In this situation, is it possible to succeed in confessing your feelings a second time?
July 23rd, Friday, tomorrow is the opening day of the Yulongqi competition.

Aoyama Risa got up at four o'clock, trained alone for an hour, and then messaged the five members of the Sunny Day Band—including Ono Mika—asking them to come to the gym.

At 5:30, all five of them arrived, wearing the sportswear they had just bought the night before.

Ono Mika wore the school's sports uniform, as did Aoyama Osamu.

The two were wearing matching outfits—that's what Aoyama Osamu thought.

"Today is the first day, and some of you are entering a gym for the first time, so we'll prioritize safety and do some simple exercises," said Aoyama Risa.

"You won't treat us like you treated Tenyu, will you?" Ono Mika asked hesitantly.

It seems she came to listen to the crosstalk performance and was sitting in the first row. Because there had been incidents before where people from the first row were pulled onto the stage, she was checking before the performance started.

"Watching an execution" seems more appropriate than "listening to a crosstalk performance".

"No," Aoyama Risa said with a smile.

He also has some knowledge of fitness, and last night he consulted the system—the online system—to make a relatively scientific training plan for the five people based on the needs of singers and instrumentalists.

After the warm-up exercises.

Ono Mika is doing resistance band rowing; the other four are lifting dumbbells.

Without personal guidance, Aoyama continued his training on his own, believing that, given the personalities of the five, seeing him training diligently would motivate them to keep themselves accountable.

This is also to avoid 'accidents'.

—System, what can you do with me!
After the workout, everyone went to have breakfast together, and they also invited Jian Shangai.

"How's the workout going?" Ono Mizuki asked curiously at the dinner table.

"It's a bit tiring," said Akari, my wife.

"But it's quite fun when we're all together." F. Rino has a dream: to lose breast size through fitness.

This is a great opportunity; she must seize it!

F is too big; even Osamu Aoyama's evaluation system doesn't have an F!

"Aoyama-kun's example has a great influence," drummer Yumemi praised.

"If I had a role model like that in my studies, I would have gotten first place long ago." Bess Sakura still came in third in the final exam.

Aoyama Rin dared not speak.

He worked just as hard in his studies, but he didn't rank 3rd or 4th in the final exam; he ranked 34th.

"I'll train with you guys tomorrow too," Ono Mizuki decided to give it a try after hearing that.

She looked at Jian Shangai: "Jian Shangai, do you want to come along?"

"Hmm?" Jian Ai snapped out of her daze.

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Bess Sakurako looked up at her while eating breakfast. "Did Aoyama-kun come to see you tonight?"

"Senior, what you lack to get first place might not be effort, but character!" said Aoyama Ritsu.

"Am I third if I count virtue?" Bess Sakura thought for a moment, "Then I'm satisfied."

Seeing Ai smile as she looked at Aoyama Rin.

Aoyama gave her a pleading look—please, please don't call him '34' at this time.

"I didn't sleep well last night," Ai said, steer the conversation back on track. "But it was because of something else."

"Is this unrelated to Aoyama-kun?" Bess Sakurako asked.

“It’s related,” Jian Shang said with a smile.

Ono Mizuki's eyes widened in surprise.

Knowing the inside story and recalling how Aoyama praised Ono Mika last night, he couldn't help but laugh.

The four members of the Sunny Day Band looked at Jian Shang Ai with curiosity.

I love eating breakfast properly.

She doesn't have much etiquette when it comes to dining, but even when she eats at a food stall—a mobile food stand—people hesitate, wondering if their wallets are good enough to afford it.

She adopted an attitude of not wanting to answer, and the crowd stopped making a fuss.

I didn't find her arrogant because of this; on the contrary, I found her attitude of not answering when she wanted to be attractive.

As members of a band, they pursue this kind of personality.

After breakfast, the Ono sisters and the four members of the Sunny Day Band went out shopping without stopping.

I saw that Shang Ai hadn't slept well last night, so she went to catch up on her sleep.

Aoyama Rin returned to his kendo room to continue his arduous training.

Just as we were about to start, I received a message from Jun Aizawa: the roster for Kaimei High School had been finalized.

The five official players are: Forward Jun Aizawa, Second Forward Mitsuki Nishida, Center Forward Tota Tani, Vice-Captain Kinoshita, and Captain Osamu Aoyama.

There are two substitutes, including the original second striker, who was squeezed out of the spot because he did not perform as well as Aizawa Jun during the practice matches.

Fortunately, he is still a junior in high school, and he will almost certainly play next year, unless his own ability is really lacking.

"General," Aoyama Ryo muttered to himself.

Such an important position has been entrusted to him, and he must achieve results to repay the Kendo Club.

The news about Jun Aizawa is not over yet.

[Jun Aizawa: If I can defeat two opponents in a row in an official match, I will confess my feelings to Kana!]

[Aoyama Ryou: I came to training with Tenyu today!]

[Jun Aizawa: No way!]

“This guy,” Aoyama Risa laughed.

And what about him? When did he confess his feelings to Mika Ono for the second time?
Should we try to meet up with Shang Ai again to discuss it? And maybe she can treat us to a meal.

[The Girl Who Buys Me Food] has a really good talent.
