Starting Tokyo Life From Inheriting A Shopping Street

Chapter 40: Chapter 40



It took a while for Fumika Ogawa to feel her face cool down, but her body became even softer.

So much so that when Shuichi Chiba switched places with her to continue massaging the other leg, she almost couldn't stand up.

Holding onto Sayuki Ogawa's thigh, Shuichi Chiba casually rubbed one hand while seriously massaging with the other. He resumed their small talk with Fumika.

"How do you plan the store? Is the first floor for the shop and the second floor for living?"

When discussing serious matters, Fumika was no longer shy and replied earnestly, "The beauty salon is arranged like that, while the gym will use both floors for the store. Since we can't fit everything on the first floor, the first floor will have treadmills, ellipticals, and some strength training equipment. The second floor will be for yoga, Pilates, and other body-fitness classes."

Shuichi Chiba paused his movements and glanced at Sayuki Ogawa. "So, where does Sayuki-san live?"

Sayuki narrowed her eyes. "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it does." Shuichi Chiba nodded seriously. "If Sayuki-san doesn't live here, what will I do about my gifts? Fumika-san will definitely have to sneakily clean and hide them from you."

Fumika lowered her head, burying her face in her hands, revealing only her flushed earlobes.

"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on your gifts." Sayuki Ogawa said with a slight smirk.

"I live with my sister, even in the same bedroom and on the same bed, so preparing gifts is convenient. But for some people, it might not be so convenient; I'm afraid I'll be getting cursed behind my back later."

"Is that so? I don't see anything inconvenient about it; in fact, it sounds great." 

Shuichi Chiba implied something, and when he saw Sayuki Ogawa starting to glare at him again, he quickly changed the subject.

"This way, Fumika-san doesn't have to be apart from Sayuki-san, and they can take care of each other like before. Isn't that nice? It makes me feel more at ease."

Not being apart from her sister...

Those words struck a chord with Sayuki Ogawa, and her expression softened a bit. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt an unusual sensation in the crease of her knee, causing her face to change slightly.

She shot a glance at her still-shy sister, then glared at Shuichi Chiba, who appeared to be completely unfazed. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

What a lecherous little brat!

After just spending two hours with her sister, was it still not enough?

"Looks like Sayuki-san isn't reacting much. Is the pressure too light? Let me apply a bit more force." Shuichi Chiba said with a mischievous smile.

Sayuki Ogawa was caught off guard and couldn't help but let out a suppressed moan, quickly calling for him to stop.

"That's enough! It doesn't hurt as much anymore, so let's call it a day. It's time to eat."

"Eh? Is that really enough? Sayuki-san, you don't have to worry about my stamina; I can keep going a little longer." Shuichi Chiba replied with a double meaning sentence.

Sayuki Ogawa shot him a sideways glance. "That's enough; save your energy for your workouts later. I hope by then you can still last as long."

"…" Shuichi Chiba's smile froze slightly. This doesn't sound well; he felt like he was going to get punished hard later.

After watching the Ogawa sisters leave, Shuichi Chiba opened the system interface to check on some of his previous assumptions.

Sure enough, he saw two new notification messages, although they were different from what he expected.

[Sayuki Ogawa Sense of Belonging +10, Administrator Salary +100,000 Yen.]

[Tamako Akiyama Sense of Belonging +10, Administrator Salary +100,000 Yen.]

He was surprised that Fumika Ogawa's sense of belonging didn't increase; instead, it was Mrs. Akiyama's that improved. What happened? He decided to ask the perverse president later.

Setting aside the question of Mrs. Akiyama for now, Shuichi Chiba reflected on his interactions with Fumika Ogawa today and felt that there weren't any major issues.

Fumika Ogawa had been quite proactive, warm, and appeared genuinely happy. 

So, maybe they had reached a kind of bottleneck?

That seemed to be the case.

After analyzing the situation, he shifted his focus back to Sayuki Ogawa.

Despite constantly butting heads with her, engaging in a battle of wits and teasing her, her sense of belonging seemed to grow stronger. 

So, could it be that she wasn't normal either?

Or perhaps the reason lies with Fumika Ogawa? His actions hadn't excluded Sayuki Ogawa; instead, he hadn't made her feel neglected, making her feel included instead.

Hmm… was it a sense of participation?

Would it be better to involve her when he was being affectionate with Fumika Ogawa in the future?

After pondering for a moment, Shuichi Chiba sorted out the current situation.

[Fumika Ogawa, Sense of Belonging: 50] 

[Sayuki Ogawa, Sense of Belonging: 30] 

[Tamako Akiyama, Sense of Belonging: 50] 

[Current Monthly Salary: 1,400,000 yen]

"Tsk, it was worth it to specifically lure the class president. Her mother's sense of belonging has caught up to Fumika's so quickly, and I hardly had to put in any effort—what a great deal." 

Rubbing his slightly sore back, he walked out of the small room and glanced over at the shop that Sayuki Ogawa had rented across the way. Shuichi Chiba felt a bit of excitement about the upcoming opening of the gym.

Just as he was pondering this, Tsuki Akiyama sneaked in with her backpack, and upon seeing him, pointed upstairs.

Shuichi Chiba understood and turned around, motioning for Tsuki Akiyama to go ahead.

He followed the girl up the stairs, glancing at her exposed, snow-white calves, which began to tremble slightly.

It was obvious that the owner of those legs was getting excited.

"If only I was wearing a short skirt…"

This wasn't said by Shuichi Chiba, but rather by Tsuki Akiyama expressing her regret.

Once they reached the second floor, Shuichi Chiba sat down in the living room while Tsuki Akiyama stood in front of him, biting her lower lip. With a defiant look, she lifted her skirt to reveal the blue and white striped underwear.

Shuichi Chiba didn't let her put her skirt down this time; instead, he made her maintain that position and asked, "Did you enjoy the cotton candy today?"

Remembering that immensely satisfying play from the morning, Tsuki Akiyama's face flushed. "Y-Yes… it was delicious…"

"If you keep performing well and behave, I'll reward you." He said.

"Mm…" Tsuki Akiyama excitedly swayed, unable to contain her eagerness. "I bought a maid outfit! Should we check it out first?"

"Aren't you supposed to have student council work today?" Shuichi Chiba asked, surprised.

"Today is mainly about assigning tasks. I'll finish mine as quickly as possible and leave the rest for others." She replied.

Suddenly, a strange expression crossed Tsuki Akiyama's face. "There's something else I think you'd be interested in."

"What is it?" Shuichi Chiba asked casually.

"I ran into Teacher Nagase while I was buying the maid outfit in Akihabara. She was shopping at… a cosplay costume store." 

As Tsuki Akiyama said this, she glanced at Shuichi Chiba's expression, playfully testing the waters. 

"Master, being so perverted, you must be interested in Teacher Nagase too, right? Don't you want to use that to make her do some… strange things?"
