Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

It took more than ten seconds to gradually distinguish them.

At this point, the speed gradually decreased, and then at a certain moment, it came to a complete stop.

The pointer landed on the largest green section.

[Ding! You have obtained 1 "Temporary Character Registration Card"!]

"Grass!"

Shimada Sho couldn't help but curse out loud.

It's green again, the lowest quality level.

It's obvious what's inside; it's probably just another useless, disposable consumable.

Shimada Sho opened his backpack in a depressed mood.

[Temporary Character Login Card: After use, you can select a temporary target and connect to their body. This status is the same as connecting to a regular character and can be considered as one login, but no tasks can be triggered and no progress will be counted. Time limit: 30 minutes.]

"As expected, it's just a small prop to make up the numbers."

Despite having guessed it, Shimada Sho was still disappointed.

You can enter a role and log in like in the system, but only for thirty minutes.

Nothing can be done in just half an hour.

If the target had no awareness, that would be one thing, but it's just like logging in.

The character was in a conscious state, which directly eliminated the thought of him doing bad things and then transferring the money.

In addition, it won't trigger any tasks or progress updates, meaning you won't get any rewards.

Perhaps the only advantage is that it can be considered as being logged in.

If you log in, using the service will give you an extra chance to spin the wheel.

"I'll keep it for now." After reading the item description, Shimada Sho exited the system.

While using it quickly will increase your chances of winning a prize, using it carelessly would be a waste.

After all, it's a magical gadget that can control other people's bodies; it might come in handy in the future.

With these thoughts in mind, Shimada Sho's consciousness returned to reality.

The first thing I felt was soreness.

He hadn't enabled the hosting mode before logging in this time, and his body remained in the position of lying face down on the table.

My arm was under my head, which caused poor blood circulation and made my whole arm numb.

Looking up, Shimada Sho stretched his arms and looked around.

Outside the window, the rain was continuous, while inside, the fragrance of books filled the air.

During class, the students returned to their seats.

On the podium, a middle-aged, balding teacher wearing reading glasses is giving a math lesson.

Because they never pay attention to classroom discipline, students listen to the lectures less and do their own things more.

Some went so far as to take out their phones and openly type and chat.

Seeing this scene, Shimada Sho couldn't help but recall his impressions of the school.

A bottom-tier school in Tokyo, a disgrace to private schools, on the verge of bankruptcy...

Yes, Dongli High School does have the name of a private school.

However, it is not the elite university that people imagine, but a third-rate school with a lack of teachers, poor academic performance, and facing closure due to a lack of investment.

The specific reason is unknown, but that is generally the case.

Teachers who care about students' academic performance like homeroom teacher Natsumi Yonekura are rare.

More often than not, it's like math teachers who only care about lecturing and don't care at all whether the students are learning anything.

Although it's called a high school, in Shimada Sho's opinion it's more like a vocational high school in the East.

There are not many restrictions on students. Apart from mandatory national educational requirements such as joining clubs and being divided into arts and science classes, everything else is extremely lenient.

As long as the students don't go too far, the teachers generally won't interfere.

Even though Shimada Sho missed two consecutive afternoons of class, no one ever asked about it.

If I keep missing classes, the school might hold me accountable.

Shimada Sho glanced at the seat to his right front; Ayase Yuki's seat was empty.

"I wonder how she deals with the teacher?"

Shimada Sho was somewhat curious.

This woman misses class every day, and the teacher never seems to care.

Furthermore, one can have the most luxurious activity room in the club building all to oneself.

If I could do that, and when I have more characters to record in the future and don't have time to attend classes, maybe I could even recreate them.

Lost in thought, the afternoon passed quickly.

"Shimada-kun, how about joining our Chizuru-chan fan club?"

As school was ending, Shimada Sho was tidying up his desk when Takada Kenta and his friend Murakami leaned onto it.

"Not interested."

Shimada Sho packed his textbooks into his bag and answered without looking up.

"Think about it again, that's Chizuru-chan!" Kenta Takada was still unwilling to give up.

Murakami also said, "Our fan club has specially applied for an activity room to welcome Chizuru-chan. If Shimada-kun joins in advance, he can get up close and personal with Chizuru-chan and even get her autograph!"

"I see." Shimada Sho finished tidying up and stood up, looking at the hopeful boy in front of him, and said with a playful tone, "But I'm a Yumiko fan."

"Huh!?" The two of them looked incredulous.

Shimada Sho smiled without saying a word or offering any explanation, picked up his schoolbag, and walked away.

"How could this be! Shimada-kun, how could you go astray!"

"That's Chizuru-chan's mortal enemy!"

Behind them, came the mournful cries of two boys, furious at their own lack of ambition.

Shimada Sho pretended not to hear.

He has to work part-time, so he doesn't have time to chase after these two celebrities.

After learning about Chizuru Amami's identity that day, he took some time to learn about this idol group called "Starlight Girls".

The so-called Starlight Girls is an idol singing and dancing group composed of six girls aged 15-18.

This group started as an unknown group called Diou.

Later, by chance, he appeared on a variety show and became an overnight sensation.

It was on that nationally popular variety show that Chizuru Amami attracted a large number of fans with her gentle and sweet appearance and energetic and cute personality.

That's how she became the center of Star Girls.

If you don't spend all your time contemplating suicide, your future is practically hopeless...

"jingle!"

The crisp sound of wind chimes interrupted Shimada Sho's thoughts.

He had already arrived at the store and taken over the job of store manager Reina Takikawa.

Looking up, I saw the convenience store door being pushed open.

A petite girl in a baseball cap and a cropped sweatshirt walked in with hesitant steps.

Shimada Sho raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here again?"

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Autistic Girl Chooses to Confront

Yesterday, Shimada Sho made it very clear that he would keep the video no matter what.

Judging from the way Chizuru Amami left, she must have given up.

But only one day later, as soon as he got to work, the girl came again.

This is truly unexpected.

"Sir, you...you..."

"I won't delete the video."

Shimada Sho didn't waste any words and reiterated his clear stance.

Although it is dishonorable to coerce someone in this way, it was for her safety.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Today, Tenkai Chizuru mustered up her courage and entered the store early.

We are prepared for lengthy negotiations.

Before he could even utter a word, he was silenced by a single sentence, leaving him somewhat taken aback.

Seeing the cold look in the eyes of the young man, she lowered her head in fear: "Sir...please..."

As she spoke, she prepared to bow again.

But then, the wind chimes hanging on the shop door rang again, indicating that a customer had entered the shop.

"welcome!"

Shimada Sho gave a professional smile and turned to greet the guests.

Chizuru Amami stood there helplessly, unsure whether to bow or not.

"Go sit over there."

While getting goods for customers, Shimada Sho pointed to a small stool on one side of the front desk.

He kept the girl standing there, making him look like some kind of leader reprimanding his subordinates.

Following instructions, Chizuru Amami obediently moved over and sat down on the small stool.

At least he no longer looks like a subordinate standing still and being scolded.

"Hello, that's 513 yen in total. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

"Cash, please."

Shimada Sho scans the code to calculate the price and settles the bill for the customer.

After watching the guest leave with the bag, he glanced to his side.

Since Chizuru Amami is already less than 1.6 meters tall, and she was sitting on a stool, she looked like a tiny doll.

She was wearing a face mask, and a baseball cap covered her forehead.

Only her fair neck and a pair of eyes hidden in the shadow of her hat were exposed.

What exactly do you want?

Shimada Sho observed her and asked impatiently.

Upon hearing the voice, Tenkai Chizuru shrank back, looked up, and stammered, "I'd like to ask the shop assistant... to delete... to delete the video..."

"What if I don't delete it?" Shimada Sho asked, staring into her eyes.

Chizuru Amami stopped talking, lowered her head silently, and sat up straighter, hugging her knees.

Are you planning to stall me for time?

Shimada Sho understood the subtext of her action.

However, despite understanding it, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Let him linger if he wants; he doesn't care about having another person in the shop anyway.

He picked up his phone, turned on the recording mode, and put it back on the shelf next to him.

The idea of ​​filming with shaky hands was a sudden inspiration from Shimada Sho that day.
