Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho stroked his chin, a strong gossip instinct rising within him.

He was very curious about how the aloof and delicate Yukine Kamishiro, who seemed to lack common sense, managed to cover up her lies in front of her furious tycoon father and the police taking her statement.

After all, you can't exactly tell the police the truth: "Oh, a man who called himself a thug crawled into my body and used my legs to kick and break the bones of three 200-pound strong men."

If that's the case, the Kamishiro Zaibatsu would probably have to send her to a mental hospital tomorrow.

"Anyway, it's my boosting account, so it's not illegal to log in and check on things, right?"

Shimada Sho rubbed his hands together, and with a thought, he clicked the [Connect] button on the system screen again.

Unfortunately, the pop-up notification interrupted his thoughts:

[The connection is currently cooling down. Please try again in 12 hours.]

"Ok."

It seems that taking over isn't something that can be done just by wanting to.

The cooling process will take twelve hours, starting from now, until tomorrow morning.

I've finally found some free time.

With nothing to do, Shimada Sho looked at the system screen.

Compared to when it was first bound, the above content is now more comprehensive:

[Perfect Female Character Development System]

[Current Number of Characters]: 1

Kamishiro Yukine:

Age: 16

Tags: Lack of common sense, fanatic, speedrunner of a Tokyo delinquent group, Allie Benly

[Note: To fulfill the unfulfilled wishes of young girls and redeem those lost souls—that is the sacred duty of Tokyo's gentlemen!]

Shimada Sho: ...

He doesn't think he can become a gentle and kind male protagonist in a Japanese manga.

If it is absolutely necessary, providing sufficient compensation is not out of the question.

only……

Shimada Sho stared at the words "[Current number of characters: 1]" on the system panel and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"You can only tie one up..."

His gaze shifted to the progress of the training below.

【Kamidai Yukiyin】

[Development Progress: 3%]

Three percent.

He beat up three kidnappers with all his might, and in the process, he tried his best to show off with some high-difficulty moves.

As a result, it only increased by this little bit.

"At this rate, how long will it take to unlock the next slot after reaching 50% completion?"

Shimada Sho suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

It's bad enough that the game progress gets stuck, but the damn system also gets stuck.

He had originally planned to try importing another character if Yukine Kamishiro didn't work.

The plan has now completely fallen through.

"We need to think of a way to speed up this young lady's progress as soon as possible."

Shimada Sho lay back on the tatami mat and stared at the ceiling as he began to plan.

Her labels are "lack of common sense" and "fanatic," and her wish is "different kind of stimulation."

This means that the tycoon's daughter is not short of money and has no safety concerns.

They didn't even have the most common desire: freedom.

He simply wanted to seek thrills and see it through to the end...

What a fun person!

Shimada Sho's lips twitched.

Providing entertainment for wealthy young ladies sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult.

What haven't they seen since they were little?

People are probably tired of renting out Disneyland, and Michelin three-star restaurants are just an everyday occurrence for them. If they want to shop, they could probably buy everything in Ginza.

"We need to get something done, something really tough!"

As Shimada Sho pondered, he gradually found his direction.

Just in time—

"Dong dong dong."

A knocking sounded suddenly.

His thoughts paused, and he suddenly sat up.

"Didn't we agree that you'd come next week?"

Recalling the unpleasant events that had occurred not long ago in the original owner's memory, Shimada Sho's expression turned cold.

They just came to collect the debt two days ago, and they're already at the door again so soon. They're like a persistent ghost!

He got up with a sullen face, searched around the house, and found a baseball bat on the cluttered balcony.

Then he went into the kitchen and picked up a cleaver.

With a weapon in each hand, tied with strips of cloth, he went to the door and unlocked it.

Having spent his life on the streets, Shimada Sho was well-versed in the art of fighting outnumbered.

The key is to take the initiative, knock one down quickly, and overwhelm the opponent with your momentum.

He has just mastered expert-level joint techniques and is not afraid of fighting at all.

But when the debtor comes to collect, there will definitely be a lot of them, and only by using weapons can we ensure that we can defeat them in one blow.

"Cut one out of the picture first, then we'll talk about the others!"

Shimada Sho took a deep breath, flung open the door, and pounced out like a nimble cheetah.

Then—

They were stunned on the spot.

Because the person standing outside the door wasn't some shaved-haired, tattooed gangster.

Instead, it was a girl wearing a private high school uniform.

Dark blue JK uniform, plaid skirt, black stockings.

Her long, black hair was tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her beautifully sculpted profile.

She was carrying a convenience store plastic bag in one hand and holding her phone in the other, seemingly watching videos.

Hearing the noise, she looked up and revealed a gentle and beautiful face.

JK's gaze fell on the baseball bat in Shimada Sho's hand, and seeing his fierce expression, she scoffed disdainfully.

"Have they become so shameless that they'll beat their family members if they don't get dinner?"

Although she claimed to be family, there was not a trace of warmth on her face.

Instead, his eyes and brows were filled with indifference and disdain, and he looked at Shimada Sho as if he were looking at a puddle of dirty water on the side of the road.

Chapter Four: Making Money, Finding New Goals

Looking at the face full of disgust in front of him, Shimada Sho awkwardly lowered his hand that was holding up the baseball bat.

His courage to fight to the death was shattered by the sudden arrival of a visitor, especially since this visitor was Hoshino Yuuki, his nominal sister.

It was quite awkward.

Two years ago, Shimada Sho's irresponsible father, after accumulating a mountain of debt, actually found a woman willing to take over his burdens.

The woman had a daughter and had remarried with her father.

Then his father vanished without a trace, leaving two "family members" with no blood relation to him to Shimada Sho.

His stepmother was quite polite to him, occasionally sending someone to bring him some food or having Hoshino Yuzuki deliver some daily necessities.

But this stepsister never gave him a kind look from the very first day they met.

In her mind, Shimada Sho was a burden.

She and her mother were living a frugal but relatively stable life, but because of this inexplicable "reconstituted family," they suddenly had an extra useless high school student who needed financial assistance.

"What are you standing there for? If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

Seeing that he didn't take it, Hoshino Yuzuki frowned slightly and made a move to put the plastic bag on the ground.

"want."

Shimada Sho struggled to untie the cloth strips from his hands to free the baseball bat before finally taking it.

The plastic bag felt heavy in his hand. He glanced down and saw that it contained a convenience store bento box, two bottles of mineral water, and a bag of discounted bread.

The estimated cost is a little over one thousand yen.

“This week’s.” Hoshino Yuzuki said calmly, “Mom told you to eat sparingly, she won’t be able to come over until next month.”

Shimada Sho didn't say anything.

He searched through the original owner's memories and found that the stepmother was indeed a good person.

Her husband is missing, her stepson is in debt, and she, a woman working at an izakaya (Japanese pub), has to squeeze out a little money each month to support this son who is not related to her by blood.

But even though he's a good person, it's true that his abilities are limited.

Thanks.

It was rare for Shimada Sho to say something so sensible.

Hoshino Yuuki was clearly taken aback.

She looked up at her brother, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Every time he came to deliver something before, this guy would either keep his head down and not say a word, or he would look like a spineless coward, which made him annoying.

He actually said thank you today?

and……

She noticed the baseball bat in Shimada Sho's hand and the fierce aura he exuded when he opened the door.

It's completely different from before.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

“You…” Hoshino Yuzuki opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

Forget it, what's it to her?

Whether this good-for-nothing lives or dies is none of her business.

"I am leaving."

She turned and walked away, her ponytail swinging cleanly in a curve behind her head.

"Wait a minute," Shimada Sho suddenly called out to her.
