Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Unfortunately, Kenta Takada lacked the insight to discern a family's financial situation from their watches.

He was still talking at length about the topic they had just discussed.

"I heard that her family is very poor and she can't even afford lunch. She has to skip class after lunch break to buy a discounted lunchbox. Some people have even seen her getting tap water from the water dispenser."

"Moreover, some people say that her father is a gambling addict who owes a lot of debt, drinks and beats people every day, and her mother couldn't stand it and divorced her and ran away, leaving her and her younger sister behind. Now she works several jobs to support herself and her younger sister at the same time."

Shimada Sho: "..."

She has an abusive father, a divorced mother, a younger sister, and works odd jobs.

If he hadn't recognized the watch, he would have believed it.

With such a large discrepancy in information, Shimada Sho knew that he wouldn't get any more information by asking, so he gave a few perfunctory replies and didn't delve any deeper.

Kenta Takada added, "If you're interested in studying, Shimada-kun could try getting in touch with her. After all, she's a transfer student like you, and she's only been here for a month. Last week, Ayase Yuki got second place in her grade on the exam!"

"study……"

Shimada Sho doesn't think he came here to study.

After glancing once more at the girl named Ayase Yuki, Shimada Sho turned his attention back to the system in front of him.

You need to reach 50% progress before you can unlock the next slot.

Let's not rush into it. We can explore whether the other party has the funds to meet the import criteria later.

The most urgent task right now is to speed up the development of the young lady and obtain more rewards, preferably money, the more the better.

As for his meals in the short term, he applied for a part-time job yesterday with a daily wage of 1500 yen, and he can go check it out after school today.

If I can handle it, at least I won't go hungry in the short term.

Having planned out the key points, Shimada Sho shut down the system and opened the Chinese book on the table.

This was his first time at school after he traveled through time.

This was also the first time I opened a book and became familiar with knowledge about island nations.

Immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Shimada Sho was completely unaware that Ayase Yuki, sitting in front of him, had put down her book at that moment.

She turned around unintentionally, her gaze landing precisely on Shimada Sho.

After a brief glance, he looked out the window again, just as he usually does when taking a break from reading, only with a faint smile on his lips.

Besides self-study, there are three classes left in the morning: English, Mathematics, and Geography.

Shimada Sho quickly adapted to his student identity.

Thanks to the fact that the high school curriculum in Japan is not densely packed, and since he hadn't completely forgotten all the knowledge he learned in his previous university life, he didn't find these courses difficult to keep up with.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the courses are not completely unfamiliar subjects such as the history and literature of the country.

After three consecutive classes, Shimada Sho not only didn't feel bored, but was quite engrossed in them.

Before I knew it, three classes were over, and it was lunchtime.

Shimada Sho took out the bread that Hoshino Yuzuki had brought him the night before from his desk.

The bread was the cheapest kind from the convenience store, with a little bit of margarine in it. It was dry and made your throat feel rough when you swallowed it.

But he ate with great care, as if he wanted to swallow even the wrappers.

There's no other way; this is the only lunch we have today.

Most of the students in the classroom had taken out their lunch boxes.

Some were elaborate multi-layered food boxes, some were simple bento boxes brought from home, and a few people gathered together to exchange side dishes, laughing constantly.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, and Shimada Sho only found their noise annoying.

He quickly finished his bread, found a comfortable position to lie on his desk and pretended to sleep, while simultaneously turning on the system screen.

[Kamidai Yukine: Connectable]

"It's time to meet the young lady of the Kamishiro family."

I focused my mind on the connection button on the back, and my body felt a familiar sensation of weightlessness.

But then, a voice suddenly interrupted the process:

"Sho Shimada."

Helpless, Shimada Sho had no choice but to disconnect and sit up.

A woman with medium-length hair stood outside the classroom door, wearing black high heels and black stockings that tucked into the hem of her pencil skirt.

Looking at her upper body, she wore a smart little suit with the collar puffed up high.

She looked to be in her late twenties, with thin lips painted with bright lip gloss, and narrow eyes that gave her a very charming appearance.

However, when paired with the posture of crossing his arms, it also exudes a sense of superior authority.

Meeting Shimada Sho's gaze, her face remained expressionless; she simply said, "Come out for a moment."

Chapter Six: Use Me as You Please, Mr. Thug

"What's wrong, Yonekura-sensei?"

Shimada Sho walked out of the classroom and came to the woman standing against the wall.

Natsumi Yonekura is a Chinese language teacher and also the homeroom teacher of Class C in the second year of high school.

"Shimada-kun, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Yonekura waited until he came up before speaking in a serious tone.

"A club?" Shimada Sho asked tentatively.

The seriousness on Yonekura's face lessened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "You know, that makes things easier."

She opened the folder, flipped to the first page, and handed it to Shimada Sho.

"Look, your club activity record is completely blank. According to the rules, every student must participate in at least one club and obtain the required credits."

Shimada Sho looked at the form, which indeed stated "Clubs: None".

Due to his personality, the original owner never participated in any clubs or organizations.

When it came to Shimada Sho, he didn't plan to participate either, because those activities were a complete waste of time.

Of course, you can't say that to a teacher.

"Teacher, my family situation is a bit special." He tried to make his tone sound sincere as he explained, "I have to work after school, so I'm afraid I won't have time to participate in club activities."

Ms. Yonekura looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"...Can I have my name listed?"

Yonekura's usual way of communicating with students is to keep staring at them, which means there is no room for negotiation.

Left with no other option, Shimada Sho could only propose a compromise.

"Participation in club activities is a strict requirement. If you don't participate for a long time, you will be expelled from the club. Is Shimada-kun not planning to graduate?"

Shimada Sho frowned.

What a hassle!

"Does the teacher have any recommendations?" He could only offer a perfunctory answer for now.

Seeing his wavering, Yonekura finally managed a rare smile and said, "If Shimada-kun is willing to participate, that would be wonderful. As for clubs, the literature club, the art club, or the craft club..."

Natsumi Yonekura patiently made recommendations.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Only after he finished speaking did Shimada Sho nod perfunctorily.

But before leaving, she reminded him again: "You must submit the application form within this week, otherwise I will have to consider asking your parents to come."

Shimada Sho pretended not to hear and went straight back to the classroom.

Please ask the parents?

That's a joke, it's like you're talking as if I have parents.

After lying back down on the desk, Shimada Sho opened the system again.

The connection went smoothly this time, and he successfully started the process.

[Should we add the character: Yukine Kamishiro?]

Without saying a word, Shimada Sho clicked "Yes".

Immediately afterwards, another notification popped up:

[The character "Kamishiro Yukine" is currently in a stable, everyday state.]

[Do you want to enable the "managed mode" for the main game?]

[Note: In this mode, the player's character will be managed by the system to complete daily activities (such as going to school, eating, commuting, etc.).]

Shimada Sho was taken aback.

This feature wasn't available when I connected yesterday.

The system has become more user-friendly.

"Not bad."

Without saying a word, Shimada Sho immediately started the hosting service and initiated the connection.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came over me, and in an instant, my soul left my body.

A brief period of darkness fell before my eyes.

When it lit up again, the environment had changed.

As far as the eye could see, there was an extremely luxurious classroom.

Oak floors, crystal chandeliers, and neatly trimmed plane trees outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Each student was dressed in a well-tailored school uniform, and the desks were not furnished with ordinary stationery, but with expensive-looking pens and leather notebooks.

This must be a famous elite school in Tokyo.

Shimada Sho looked down at his body: long silver hair, slender wrists, and a slight weight on his chest.

It is indeed Yukine Kamishiro's body.

Looking at the table in front of me, it was clean and tidy, with only a few textbooks on it.

Yukine Kamishiro was holding a cell phone.

The above is an open forum post titled: [Clash of Tokyo Underground Groups: Explosive Scene (with photos)]

"Mr. Thug, you're back?"

Shimada Sho had barely read the title and hadn't even had a chance to look at the content when a familiar, ethereal voice echoed in his mind.

This time, however, her voice carried a rare hint of languor and weariness.

"Ahem, aren't you asleep?" Shimada Sho asked in his mind, putting down his phone without making a sound.

"Hmm." Yukine Kamishiro replied calmly, "I thought Mr. Thug would reappear soon."

"So you stayed up all this time waiting for me?"

"I slept for a while."

"In a little while..."

Shimada Sho was a little embarrassed.

He wanted to reconnect immediately after disconnecting yesterday, but the system had to cool down.

After a pause, he changed the subject: "Have you dealt with what happened yesterday?"

"The butler and the police asked a lot of questions." Yukine Kamishiro's tone was flat, as if she were talking about someone else's business. She said indifferently, "I said that I untied the rope myself and took down the three people myself, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions."

Shimada Sho smiled.

Also.

Who would dare question the words of the heiress of the Kamishiro Zaibatsu?

Even if people question it, who would dare to actually investigate?

"and then?"
