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

"It should be fine."

Miyazawa Itsuki put his arm around Tanaka Takato's shoulder and stood up unsteadily.

Sato Heya came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sorry, Tree, I shouldn't have let you catch that ball. Those guys from Group A were playing too hard. It was just a friendly match, but they were putting in so much effort."

"It's okay, it was my own carelessness."

The physical education teacher rushed over from the sidelines, squatted down, checked Miyazawa's ankle, and asked a few questions. Miyazawa responded to each one.

"Fortunately, it's not a fracture, but just to be on the safe side, we should still go to the infirmary," the PE teacher said. "Is there anyone who can go with this student?"

Tanaka Takato and Nakamura Yuta quickly spoke up: "We'll go with Miyazawa."

Asahina raised her hand: "...I'll join too. I'm the class representative for Group C."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Miyazawa Itsuki entrusted his body to his two friends, while Asahina Oomi followed half a step behind them.

They walked together toward the stadium entrance.

On the way, Miyazawa Itsuki noticed Tsukimi Sakuna's lonely figure.

Ah, as expected, I was seen after all.

Seeing the other person's blank expression, Miyazawa Itsuki silently apologized in his heart.

I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's not that I'm trying to show off, but I have a real reason for doing this.

I will definitely apologize when I get back.

……

The health clinic is located at the far end of the first floor of the main building.

The three of them helped Miyazawa Itsuki to a hospital bed, where his sprain was treated under the careful care of the school nurse.

But he still needed to rest, so we decided to let him spend his lunch break in the infirmary.

"Mr. Miyazawa, are you really okay?"

"Why don't we just stay here and chat with you?"

Two friends were concerned for him, worried that he might be lonely spending his lunch break alone.

"No, I'm really fine. You guys should focus on getting lunch first," Miyazawa Itsuki said. "If you delay any longer, we won't even be able to buy milk and bread."

Unable to buy the bread I wanted, I had to spend a miserable noon.

"Okay, let's go eat first. See you this afternoon, Miyazawa."

See you this afternoon.

The two otaku left the infirmary.

A short while later, the door to the infirmary was pushed open again, and Asahina Oomi finished her conversation with the school nurse.

"Miyazawa-kun, how are you feeling?"

"I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, Asahi-kun."

Naomi Asahina sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed.

His gaze gently fell on the leg that was wrapped in bandages.

In just two days.

Two of her "Miyazawa" co-stars were injured.

They all had similar injuries.

I really... don't know what to do.

Naomi Asahina unconsciously thought of Teru Miyazawa.

Hui-jun got injured because of his own actions.

As her girlfriend, she couldn't offer any real help.

If I were that gentle and considerate "Holy Maiden" in the academy, I might be able to help my boyfriend a lot.

I can take care of his injuries and cook delicious meals for him. I can offer him tenderness and love whenever he needs it.

That's what a perfect girlfriend should do.

"..."

Sigh... I accidentally did it again.

Asahina's eyes fell into dejection.

I can't help but think of Hui-jun's affairs no matter what, even though I had insomnia last night because of it.

My mind is a mess.

The question that had troubled her all night resurfaced in her mind.

I still don't understand why there was a commemorative pen from Sakura in Hui-jun's clothes.

Was it a gift from someone else, or did it accidentally end up in Huijun's hands during last year's school anniversary celebration?

Do not……

No matter what, that pen was too new.

Yesterday, Naomi Asahina spent half a day struggling with her thoughts, but still decided to open it up and check it.

The ink in the pen showed no signs of having been used.

It just so happens that yesterday was the day the whole school distributed commemorative pens.

There is a bold answer that can answer all the questions.

"..."

But that answer was too absurd, too dramatic.

Naomi didn't have the courage to admit it.

Perhaps Hui-jun's family happened to be studying at Yingling School, and the other party handed the pen to Hui-jun during the window after school. That's probably all.

Naomi Asahina thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile, realizing that this idea was even less plausible than the previous one.

In an attempt to explore even the slightest possibility, he foolishly asked Miyazawa if she had an older brother.

Seriously, how embarrassing.

Asahina's gaze returned to Miyazawa Itsuki's face.

He seemed to have noticed Naomi's absent-mindedness for a long time.

"Is something on your mind, Asahi-kun?"

Their eyes met, and to avoid awkwardness, it was Miyazawa Itsuki who took the initiative to start a conversation.

Because of those 2700 points, he had already decided to be gentler with Naomi.

Chapter 48 One After Another

Naomi Asahina hesitated, as if she had thought of something, before slowly speaking:

"Miyazawa-san, as someone who has a partner, I'd like to ask you something."

No... does the misunderstanding that I have a partner mean there's no going back?

Miyazawa Itsuki silently grumbled to himself, but did not correct him.

The bento box issue is indeed quite complicated, let's just leave it at that.

In any case, Naomi's misunderstanding wasn't entirely a misunderstanding.

After all, he did have girlfriends, and not just one or two.

"What would you like to ask, Asahi-kun?"

"Does Miyazawa-san think that guys generally dislike girlfriends who pry into their personal lives?"

Naomi Asahina asked cautiously.

Miyazawa Itsuki looked slightly confused.

What is the problem?

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"...That's hard to say. It varies from person to person, and it also depends on what aspect you're digging into."

"If it's out of pure love, caring about the other person's life and health, and remembering every little thing about them, then very few guys would dislike a girlfriend like that. At least I personally don't think so."

Naomi Asahina looked away guiltily, her face filled with unease.

"What if you ask something that might cause trouble, like a past the other person doesn't want to talk about? You know you shouldn't ask, but you can't help but ask anyway—what about this kind of probing?"

Miyazawa Itsuki fell into a brief silence.

I understand.

Your targeting is a bit too obvious, Asahi-kun.

Is she planning to ask about [Miyazawa Teru's] true identity, but is she afraid to speak up?

There's no need to worry so much. Feel free to ask. Whether I tell you or not, and whether what I say is true or not, is my business.

So many people have asked, one more Asahi won't make a difference.

“If it’s a relationship that’s truly intended to last a long time,” he said, choosing his words carefully, “I think it’s okay to ask.”

"After all, if two people want to get along well, there are some things that can't be hidden forever, and happiness isn't something that comes from wearing masks and pretending to be the person the other likes."

However, that's something only a long-term, true relationship needs to do.

Asahi-kun, I hope you understand what I mean.

Naomi Asahina lowered her head in thought.

After a long while, she finally raised her head again, and some of her expression returned to her face.

"I understand, thank you, Miyazawa-san. I think I know what to do!"

"...I'm glad I could help Asahi-kun."

Miyazawa Itsuki didn't know what she understood. He could only give a vague reply.

Naomi Asahina stood up, revealing her usual bright smile.

"Miyazawa-kun, you can rest here. If you still feel unwell this afternoon, I'll ask the teacher for leave for you."

"Yes, thank you, but I don't think it's that serious."

Naomi Asahina walked to the door of the infirmary.

Then, as if remembering something, she turned her head:

"By the way, Miyazawa-kun, what are you going to do for lunch?"

"what……"

Miyazawa Itsuki also remembered.

The lunchbox given by Her Highness was still in my schoolbag, because I arrived at the infirmary halfway through the class and naturally didn't have time to pick it up.

"Um, is there a bento box for my girlfriend today?"

Naomi Asahina gave a knowing smile.

"...That's right."

"Then I'll go get it for Miyazawa-kun!"

Naomi Asahina said confidently.

"It seems that not many people know about Miyazawa's girlfriend, and Miyazawa doesn't seem to want to reveal it."

"To thank Miyazawa for clearing up my doubts, and also because friends should help each other, I can help you out."
