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

"Thank you, Asahi."

Sato He smiled like a sunny, handsome young man, walked up to the podium, and deliberately took two steps to stand side by side with Asahina.

He cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry to have taken up everyone's time."

"I'll only say one thing."

"Tomorrow is my birthday. Although I haven't known you all for very long, I would like to invite you all to my birthday party. I have booked a restaurant and karaoke in Shibuya. I would be very grateful if you would be willing to come."

He paused for a moment, then added with a smile:

"And Asahi will also be participating."

When the topic turned to her, Asahina was taken aback.

"Oh, yes, that's right, I'll participate."

The news that two of the class's star students were going to have birthday parties briefly brought a moment of silence to the air.

Someone in the audience chimed in with his words at the opportune moment.

"Hey, isn't that great? It just so happens that the class hasn't organized any activities yet, and everyone is still unfamiliar with each other."

"Let's take this opportunity to turn Sato's birthday party into a class activity where everyone can get to know each other better?"

The students looked at each other and exchanged glances. Among the girls, Chinatsu Nakano was the first to respond.

"Ahe, I want to participate too!"

Sato He smiled at his childhood friend: "Alright, of course, Chinatsu-chan is indispensable."

They're all in the same circle, so whether or not to attend the birthday party was probably something that had been agreed upon beforehand. At this moment, Chinatsu Nakano was just setting an example for the girls.

With Chinatsu Nakano starting, several other girls quickly expressed their desire to participate. The boys also responded quickly.

Except for those who were unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, most people announced their intention to participate.

Sato asked his companion to write down the names of the attendees, and then walked off the stage with satisfaction.

The class meeting has now ended.

The students began packing their bags and leaving the classroom.

Miyazawa Itsuki was also preparing to leave.

Asahina returned to her seat from the podium and began packing her schoolbag.

By chance, their eyes met.

Miyazawa Itsuki nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

But then they heard Naomi Asahina's soft voice.

"Isn't Miyazawa-san participating?"

"Ok?"

"Birthday party, aren't you going?"

"...I have something to do."

Are you with your girlfriend?

Naomi Asahina asked.

Miyazawa Itsuki thought for a moment and did not deny it.

"That's about right."

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about it. After all, she's my girlfriend."

She deserves to be cherished for making such an excellent bento box for her boyfriend.

"Good luck!" She gave Miyazawa Itsuki an encouraging gesture at the end. Then she caught up with the others who were waiting for her at the classroom door.

Miyazawa Itsuki lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

I'll do my best, after all, I've already received your deposit.

……

At the classroom door, Chinatsu Nakano and the others met up with Naomi.

"Nana, what did you say to that guy?"

Nakano Chinatsu asked curiously.

"You mean Miyazawa-kun? I was just asking him if he's coming to tomorrow's birthday party."

"It's kind of Nana to go and ask in person, so, is he coming?"

"No, they have important matters to attend to, so they asked me to congratulate Sato-kun."

"Asahi always cares about her classmates."

Sato He didn't care whether Miyazawa Itsuki arrived or not.

Chinatsu nodded: "Nana was always like that, always extending kindness equally. It's just that it's easy for people to misunderstand, so she often gets confessed to."

She gave a slightly pitying look: "I hope that boy didn't misunderstand."

Asahina quickly said, "No, and he already has a girlfriend."

"There are quite a few cases where people with girlfriends fall for Nana."

"That's someone else's problem. In short, I can't accept someone who has a girlfriend and still cheats on her."

Naomi Asahina said firmly.

Similarly, I would never get involved in a childhood sweetheart relationship.

Chapter 33 The Saintess, Coffee and Muffins

Outside the school, inside a family-run restaurant.

Miyazawa Itsuki spotted Tsukimi Sakuna in one of the corners.

After confirming that there were no people in Sakura Ryougi's uniform around, Miyazawa Itsuki went to her table.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Tsukimi-san."

Tsukimi Sakura looked up and saw Miyazawa Itsuki's arrival, a gentle smile blooming on her face.

"I just got here too. But Miyazawa-kun, you came right after school. Is it because there are no club activities today?"

“No, I’ve never joined any clubs,” Miyazawa Itsuki said. “And I don’t have any friends to hang out with after school.”

Tsukimi Sakura was quite surprised.

"Miyazawa-kun... are you alone at school?"

"Yeah, that's about it."

As Miyazawa Itsuki said this, for some reason, the face of Asahina Oomi flashed through his mind for a moment.

He saw Tsukimi Sakuna casting a sympathetic glance at him.

"Miyazawa-kun... works really hard at school too..."

No, please don't imagine that I was ostracized; that's not true.

Miyazawa Itsuki decided to drop the subject.

"I haven't had a chance to say thank you for the bento, Tsukimi-kun. The food was delicious, the best bento I've ever eaten in my life."

"...That's an exaggeration, it's just ordinary food."

Sakura Tsukimi was a little shy.

"...If Miyazawa-kun doesn't mind, I can continue to make it for you."

"……what?"

Miyazawa Itsuki was surprised; could such a good thing really exist?

"No need, because that would be too much trouble for Tsukimi-kun, and I would feel really bad about it."

Miyazawa Itsuki resisted the urge to agree and declined with some regret.

"It's just a matter of preparing more food. It's not a big deal."

Seeing the regretful expression on Miyazawa Itsuki's face, Tsukimi Sakuna gave him an understanding smile.

"If Miyazawa-kun feels indebted, he can repay the debt by running errands."

"Running errands...does that mean buying groceries?"

"Yes. Because of my part-time job, I can only buy groceries at night, and my mother is always worried about it."

Miyazawa Itsuki suddenly had an idea.

“I have no problem with that. And it’s not just about running errands; let me cover all the food costs as well.”

"No... Miyazawa-kun, you don't have to do that?"

"Please let me pay, that way I'll feel more at ease eating here."

Miyazawa Itsuki said sincerely.

Japanese ingredients are not cheap.

For families like Tsukimi Sakura's, even though it's just one more person, it adds up to a considerable expense over time.

Miyazawa Itsuki felt that he might have to rely on Tsukimi Sakuna until the day he graduated from high school.

It would be inhumane to make people work so hard for so long and not pay for the ingredients.

In addition, Ms. Yuko rarely eats at home, and Tsukimi Sakura's appetite is also very small.

Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for Miyazawa Itsuki to take care of most of the food expenses and pay for the ingredients.

Tsukimi Sakura looked somewhat troubled, but finally nodded.

"...Let's talk about the cost of ingredients later, Miyazawa-kun. Are we heading to our part-time job now?"

"Well, normally I could go back and change into my uniform first, but today I might have an interview, so I might as well just go straight there."

Miyazawa Itsuki led Tsukimi Sakuna away from the family restaurant.

The two tried to avoid crowded main roads to reduce the risk of being seen by fellow students.

I took the tram, traveling from one stop to another.

Feeling the unusual number of people turning their heads to look at him on the street, Miyazawa Itsuki clearly realized just how charming Tsukimi Sakuna was.

Even when she was renting a boyfriend, she had never received so much attention.

Do not……

Perhaps part of the reason lies with myself.

When Miyazawa Itsuki wears glasses, he appears to others as an ordinary boy, nothing special.

This ordinary high school boy is accompanied by a stunningly beautiful girl who could make everything else pale in comparison.

This mismatched combination is what makes people more curious.

……

Mori-suke Cafe.

Pushing open the door, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, the two entered the coffee shop.

There weren't many customers in the café at the moment. A few regulars nodded slightly when they saw Miyazawa Itsuki arrive.

When they noticed Tsukimi Sakura cautiously behind Miyazawa Itsuki, their faces showed surprise.

After greeting several regular customers, Miyazawa Itsuki went backstage.

Mr. Mori was indeed inside, standing on a chair, counting the coffee bean inventory.

"Manager, I've brought the job applicant with me."

Last night, Miyazawa Itsuki used LINE to explain to Mr. Morizumi that he had introduced Princess Saint to apply for the store clerk position.
