Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend.

"Well, just like I said before, I don't cook much," Miyazawa Itsuki said honestly.

"I usually rely on ready-made food from convenience stores for dinner, so today's bento box is actually a treat."

Seeing the incredulous look in Tsukimi Sakura's eyes, Miyazawa Itsuki felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for him.

He's not completely incapable of cooking; he at least knows a little about Chinese cuisine.

However, due to the fast pace of life, there is no time to spare, so people can only cope with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Tsukimi Sakura was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something very important.

After a few seconds, she looked up again, her face serious.

"Miyazawa-kun, I have a suggestion."

"Ok?"

"If you don't mind, I can cook for you as a thank you for helping me find a job."

"No... these two things aren't quite equal, are they?!"

Miyazawa Itsuki exclaimed in surprise.

He only provided information and at most helped her deal with the thugs, while Tsukimi Sakura offered to help him solve the problem of dinner.

This is probably not something that can be resolved with just one meal, if he hasn't misunderstood.

"Miyazawa-kun's help is very important to me, and I just prepare a little more food than usual."

Chapter 25 The Agreement

Tsukimi Sakuna's gentle voice was extremely alluring to Miyazawa Itsuki at that moment.

He had witnessed Tsukimi Sakura's cooking skills firsthand.

That was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten. It was warm and comforting.

To put it sentimentally, it tastes like home.

He would indeed like to try it a few more times if given the chance.

but……

"I only helped Tsukimi once or twice, but I have to cook for her every time from now on. Isn't that a bit unfair to her?"

“If Miyazawa-kun feels that I have been taken advantage of, then I actually have one more clause.”

"Please speak."

"I...I hope that when we're out in public, Miyazawa-kun can pretend to be my boyfriend, like before..."

"...? Are you serious?" Miyazawa Itsuki doubted his ears.

Tsukimi Sakuna blushed and hurriedly waved her hands: "I, I haven't finished yet. What I mean is, like Miyazawa-kun called me my boyfriend before, help me deal with some people I can't handle."

"Because... when I'm alone outside, I often encounter things that bother me, especially when I'm working."

I think if Miyazawa-kun had been with me then, those people probably wouldn't have bothered me.

"So that's how it is..."

Miyazawa Itsuki understood.

Translated, he's a protector of a woman disguised as a fake boyfriend.

"But is that really okay? Tsukimi-san probably doesn't want any unfounded rumors to spread."

"I only ask Miyazawa to use the excuse of being a fake boyfriend when necessary. Otherwise, Miyazawa only needs to take care of me a little after get off work. I think this is a healthy deal, and Miyazawa and I have an absolutely innocent relationship."

Tsukimi Sakura said earnestly.

So he was a bodyguard on the night. Earning a living as a bodyguard every day was a very lucrative deal.

After weighing the options, Miyazawa Itsuki realized that he had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, I'll leave the future to you, Tsukimi-kun."

"Ah."

A gentle smile bloomed on Tsukimi Sakura's face.

"Then I'd appreciate your help, Mr. Fake Boyfriend."

Her smile remained radiant and dazzling in the night.

……

After returning to his room and putting down his lunch bag, Miyazawa Itsuki went to Tsukimi's house again.

"Sorry to bother you."

At the entrance, Miyazawa Itsuki changed into the indoor shoes that Tsukimi Sakura had prepared for him in advance.

"Miyazawa-kun, please make yourself at home." Tsukimi Sakuna served him tea with both hands.

"Today's dinner was originally planned to be curry rice, but if you want something else, I can change it."

Miyazawa Itsuki took the tea: "No, no, let's stick to the plan. I can eat anything."

Are there any dietary restrictions? For example, are there any allergens?

There is no history of allergies. At least none were detected.

Do you prefer your curry sweet or savory?

"I'm fine with anything... but I'll make it salty today."

Tsukimi Sakuna gave a very tolerant smile: "Okay, then please wait at your seat for a moment, Miyazawa-san. Dinner will be ready soon."

Am I a child?

"Hmm, Miyazawa-kun," Tsukimi Sakuna joked.

At home, Tsukimi Sakuna seemed like a different person, shedding her usual heavy mask and becoming more like a girl appropriate for her age.

She walked briskly into the kitchen, leaving Miyazawa Itsuki alone in the living room.

Miyazawa Itsuki looked around but didn't see Mrs. Tsukimi.

Are you not home?

Miyazawa Itsuki opened his phone, selected the electronic dictionary, and planned to grind for some shorthand experience points.

Time flows slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint vibration and humming sound suddenly came from my chest.

It appears to be a notification from a mobile phone.

Miyazawa Itsuki blinked; it was her work machine when she was a rented boyfriend.

Who would send a message at this hour?

He took his work phone out of the inside pocket of his clothes, turned it on, and the main screen showed the LINE message section.

The ID displayed above is: nao_nao

It's Naomi Asahina.

Miyazawa Itsuki has added many clients to her work LINE account.

However, he only sets it as a special notification for guests who have made reservations later.

In order to respond to customer needs in a timely manner.

Miyazawa Itsuki opened the LINE chat interface with Naomi and looked at the messages she had sent.

The information includes the location and time of the birthday party the day after tomorrow.

He was also told not to wear overly formal clothes, as everyone present was a high school student.

Miyazawa Itsuki replied that he was aware of the information and exchanged a few pleasantries.

ki: I understand. I've noted down the time and place, and I'll pay attention to the clothing as well.

Ki: By the way, does Naomi's sister still like the magic wand we drew on our last date?

After sending the two messages, it quickly showed that they had been read, but the other party did not reply immediately.

Three small dots appeared on the chat box, which were the other person typing, but they quickly disappeared and reappeared.

It seems Naomi is struggling with how to reply.

Miyazawa Itsuki chuckled.

Even though Naomi already had a general idea that Miyazawa Itsuki had "seen through" her hobbies, she still couldn't be honest. She tried to maintain her last shred of dignity.

Kind of cute.

A minute later, Asahina Omi cautiously sent a message.

nao_nao: Mm! She really likes it and even asked me to thank Miyazawa-kun for giving her such a precious gift!

nao_nao: She was still clamoring to see Miyazawa-kun yesterday. She's usually so arrogant towards me, her older sister, but she acted all innocent then www

nao_nao: Oh, I forgot to mention, I showed my sister a picture of Miyazawa-kun. Will that violate any rules?

ki: No, it's fine if it's just a photo.

Ki: But given our relationship, wouldn't introducing us to my family cause Naomi trouble?

nao_nao: It's okay, it's okay. My sister knows my friend too. I think if we're going to put on an act, we should go all the way. Otherwise, it would be bad to leave any flaws.

nao_nao: As for what happens next, I'll just tell them that I broke up with Miyazawa-kun.

ki: ...I felt a little regretful when I suddenly heard the breakup announcement while he was still my boyfriend.

nao_nao: Ah, that's not what I meant!

nao_nao: I didn't mean I really wanted to get rid of Miyazawa-kun.

nao_nao: Me

Naomi Asahina was thrown into chaos.

Miyazawa Itsuki smiled.

Despite being so confident and at ease at school, she appears quite unguarded when chatting privately.

It is said that online chatting makes it easy for people to show their relaxed side because they don't need to pay attention to their posture and facial expressions.

Naomi's side feels less refined and professional, but more vibrant and adorable.

Is this what she was originally like?

Miyazawa Itsuki stopped teasing her and replied by typing:

ki: I was just kidding, please don't take it to heart.

Ki: I will be there on time that day and will do my best to cooperate. Please rest assured, Naomi.

nao_nao: Yes, I believe in Miyazawa-kun.

nao_nao: Miyazawa-kun actually tricked me, he's so mean.

Finally, she sent a cartoon sticker of a pouting seal.

Miyazawa Itsuki smiled faintly and turned off his phone.

Looking up, I saw Tsukimi Sakura standing at the kitchen doorway, approaching with a container of curry in her hand.

"Miyazawa-kun seemed quite happy just now." Tsukimi Sakuna put down the container, her amber eyes reflecting his face:

Are you chatting with a close friend?

Chapter 26 My Online Game Wife Can't Be a Girl

"Hmm... I guess so."

Miyazawa Itsuki hesitated for a moment.

My temporary girlfriend seems to be someone I'm quite close to, at least until this deal is finalized.

Tsukimi Sakuna nodded without saying anything further, seemingly just asking casually.
