Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"For example... thank you?"

"Thank you."

"...You win."

What she really wanted to ask was why Yukine could seamlessly switch between different appearances.

Although her usual behavior is not her true personality, it is more about hiding her true self behind the simplicity and emptiness of her daily life to avoid trouble.

Before this, Ayase Yuki had never seen such a young lady.

He speaks with a roguish air, but his demeanor is relaxed and natural.

Although the attitude may seem a bit harsh, it doesn't give off any bad vibes.

Compared to her real self, with her awe-inspiring nobility and intelligence, the Xueyin I just spoke to was surprisingly pleasant.

So she asked, "How did you manage that transformation just now?"

"what?"

Faced with her friend's persistent questioning, Yukine Kamishiro looked puzzled.

It was as if she had returned to her old naivety, completely unable to understand the other person's questions.

"Stop pretending." Ayase Yuki glanced at her. "Your tone and posture just now were completely unlike you. What's going on?"

Kamishiro Yukiyin was silent.

"Furthermore, you never offer any explanation for your actions. You even participated in the food festival and won a bronze medal, but you've never even stepped into the kitchen!"

"..."

"So," Ayase Yuki looked at her seriously, "what exactly happened?"

You wouldn't believe me even if I told you.

"What do you think."

Driven by her curiosity, Yuki Ayase displayed an attitude of not giving up until she got to the bottom of it.

Yukine Kamishiro's gaze fell into the distance, her voice ethereal and serene, "I suppose you could call it a possessing spirit."

"What!?" Ayase Yuki asked again, still unsure.

"It's the kind of spirit that can enter my body and control my body's activities."

"what……"

Yuki Ayase opened her mouth, then sighed, "So you believe in these things too."

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"So you were playing the possessed spirit just now?" she recalled the scene. "That posture, those words, were all manifestations of a possessed spirit?"

"Ah."

"And now? The possessing spirit is gone?"

"Ah."

Yuki Ayase was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and pinched Yukine Kamishiro's cheek.

"What are you doing?" Yukine Kamishiro frowned slightly.

Yuki Ayase said in a serious tone, "Let me confirm if it's really you."

"..."

"So," she said, pulling her hand back and sitting closer, "that possessing spirit is the reason you've changed so much lately?"

Yukine Kamishiro remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Yuki Ayase frowned and asked seriously, "When did he appear?"

"Last week."

Yuki Ayase recalled the time, "Was it the time you were kidnapped?"

"Ah."

"What's his name?"

"do not know."

"What does it look like?"

Yukine Kamishiro gently shook her head.

Where are you from?

This time, she simply stopped making any movements.

"So you mean, a stranger whose identity you don't know suddenly appeared in your head?"

Yuki Ayase looked at Yukine Kamishiro with deep worry in her eyes.

“He’s not a stranger,” Yukine Kamishiro corrected, shaking her head.

"..." Ayase Yuki was speechless.

She carefully observed her best friend, whom she could call her closest confidante.

In her memory, Yukine Kamishiro was someone who never easily trusted others.

Because of some things that happened in the past, she chose to completely hide her true self.

All that remained outside was a lifeless shell.

Empty, dull, like a dead person who has no interest in anything.

In fact, she is smarter and more clear-headed than anyone else.

But now, she actually allowed a so-called possessing spirit whose name she didn't even know to enter her body, and even called it a friend.

Is this schizophrenia or just meaningless daydreaming?

"Have you fallen for this...possessed spirit that you've created in your imagination?"

Yukine Kamishiro tilted her head to look at her, "What is liking?"

"..."

Ok.

When it comes to matters of the heart, the young lady is indeed very naive.

"Then why did you let him into your body?" she asked, changing her question.

Without hesitation, Yukine Kamishiro answered, "Because it's interesting."

"Is that a reason?" Yuki Ayase raised an eyebrow.

"He speaks harshly, but everything he does is for my own good."

"for example?"

"She helped me chase away the flies around me, clumsily helped me make new friends, and even helped me with my homework and cooked for me..."

As Yuki Ayase listened, her brows furrowed.

"Are you sure this is a possessing spirit and not your nanny?"

She simply couldn't imagine a possessing spirit helping Yukine solve all her problems.

Upon hearing this, Yukine Kamishiro smiled faintly, as if she had thought of something. "A nanny wouldn't just casually suggest sinking someone into Tokyo Bay."

"Then what's in it for him?" Ayase Yuki asked a crucial question.

A spirit that seems to be a real entity can coolly help a girl solve all the problems she encounters in life.

But what is his purpose in doing all this?

"Yeah, what's the point?" Yukine Kamishiro repeated the question.

Staring blankly into the distance, she murmured softly, "Will you tell Yukine, Mr. Thug?"

……

……

When Shimada Sho regained consciousness, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar wooden beams and moldy ceiling above him.

He is back.

I lay in bed for two seconds to adjust, and then the light screen popped up in front of me.

【Ding! 】

[You have successfully completed the limited-time quest for Yukine Kamishiro – Yukine Kamishiro's Crisis: Offline!!!]

[Mission Rating: SS-Rank. (You decisively logged off at a crucial moment, perfectly averting the young lady's unexpected crisis and allowing her to personally deal with her friend's provocation. Perhaps this will trigger a different development?)]

[Wish fulfillment complete, reward being distributed...]

[Congratulations to the player for achieving: +8% progress in character development!]

[Congratulations to the player for receiving a random attribute reward—Charm +5!]

[This attribute can be applied to yourself or others. Do you want to use it?]

[Note: The Charm attribute affects a character's initial affinity with the player and the success rate of social interactions.]

Upon seeing the task evaluation, Shimada Sho was speechless.

Previously, when I received a task, I had to work myself to the bone just to barely improve my score.

This time, without doing anything except disconnecting the connection early, the character directly reached SS rank.

This is so discouraging.

The key point is that he still has no idea why.

What does it mean to perfectly quell an unforeseen crisis?

There shouldn't be any danger while attending the Kamishiro family's banquet!

And this so-called "pacification" is far too simplistic.

What kind of crisis can be quelled simply by logging off?

Feeling completely bewildered, Shimada Sho checked the follow-up information with frustration.

Only after seeing the notification "Charm +5" did the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.

I thought the system was just a basic version with incomplete features, but it turns out it has all the essential functions.

Not only can it reward you with money, skills, and items, but it also rewards you with attributes.

If you can obtain Charisma, will there be subsequent enhancements in Strength and Speed?

While pondering this, Shimada Sho immediately chose to use it.

Afterwards, he felt a tingling or itchy sensation on his face.

Before I could even confirm, a new panel popped up.

It's an update on Yukine Kamishiro's character development progress.
