28. Feeding? The Metropolitan Police Department? There's a yandere here.
On Friday after school, more and more people flocked to the coffee shop, to the point that there were queues.
Almost all of them were students who had just finished school, and most of them were girls wearing various school uniforms—there are many schools near Hongo 3-chome.
The two of them were not sitting in a corner, and their appearance was too conspicuous, so they attracted the attention of many people.
Genji Aoyama quickly looked around and noticed that quite a few girls were secretly watching him.
The fragrance of the moonlit night was like a deer's horn hanging in the air, leaving no trace.
Could it be because of this?
It couldn't be that she developed a possessive desire for his strawberry crème brûlée cake.
Genji Aoyama glanced at the status, then looked at Haruka Minazuki.
She seemed to be in a good mood, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was still savoring the taste of the strawberry crème brûlée cake, but her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally glancing outwards.
Following her gaze, Aoyama Genji looked out over the glass wall. Apart from the dappled shadows cast by sunlight on the leaves and the increasing number of pedestrians, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
Forget it.
If I can't figure it out, I might as well stop thinking about it.
"If Ms. Haruka is willing to trust me, I will naturally reciprocate that trust."
Genji Aoyama presented his work.
Yesterday it was just lyrics.
In today's music class, he borrowed a sheet music book from the teacher again and used his spare time to fill in the lyrics and music.
"Is this a work by Genji?"
Haruka Minatsuki seemed very interested; she took the sheet music and began to look at it carefully.
During that time, he probably couldn't help but look up at Genji Aoyama a few times.
"These lyrics are so cute, isn't this a love letter from some girl to Genji-kun?" Haruka Minatsuki seemed genuinely pleased, even covering her mouth and chuckling softly. "And the tsundere type at that. So, Aoyama-kun likes this type of girl?"
"It's just pandering to the market."
"Genji-kun is very knowledgeable."
Haruka Minatsuki didn't look up. She seemed to understand it too, and even hummed along with the sheet music written by Genji Aoyama.
Although it's a gentle voice that doesn't quite fit the style of this song, it's still very catchy.
"Before doing something, you must first understand it."
As Genji Aoyama said, "In this island nation of time and space, there are still many otaku who enjoy this kind of thing."
"I have a feeling that Genji-kun is implying something and is somewhat dissatisfied~" Minatsuki Haruka looked at him, having already returned to her usual gentle demeanor.
Ah, this woman is even more so.
Before their first meeting, Haruka Minatsuki had communicated with his teacher, Megumi Hazen, several times.
They even know what classes he attended today.
However, Genji Aoyama didn't mind too much—as long as it didn't have a substantial impact on him, he didn't care.
If he cares about these things all the time, the stares from other boys and girls would have killed him a hundred or ten thousand times over.
"No, not at all," Genji Aoyama replied truthfully.
However, Haruka Minatsuki didn't seem to care much, still engrossed in looking at the lyrics and sheet music.
"Mini cakes decorated with strawberries"
Soft pudding made with carefully selected eggs~
I will endure all of this.
Don't think of me as a willful child.
If I want to do it, it's a piece of cake for me.
Don't regret it later!
Having probably read through the score once and become familiar with it, Haruka Minatsuki then quietly sang a section of it, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
He's a remarkable person.
Genji Aoyama silently applauded her for being able to sing this song in front of everyone.
"Genji-kun is surprisingly talented in composing." She smiled and glanced at Aoyama Genji.
"Miss Haruka is also very good at singing."
Genji Aoyama smiled and indeed clapped.
From a professional musician's perspective, the singing was indeed very good.
The few short sentences were perfectly in tune. Although it wasn't the arrogant tone of a cute girl, it had a different kind of charm.
How can I describe this feeling?
Ah, there is.
Imagine this: a woman who is usually very gentle uses a soft, sweet voice to coax you in a gentle tone, saying one thing but meaning another.
It's easy to imagine how strong Aoyama Genji's willpower is.
Faced with a woman like this, he only wanted to discuss business cooperation with her.
At this moment, Haruka Minatsuki was focused on her song, and Genji Aoyama did not disturb her.
He took another sip of orange soda, but after a while, he could barely taste the bubbles anymore.
Before this, Genji Aoyama had a thought—that Haruka Minatsuki hadn't taken anything mentioned before seriously.
Although she said she was "slightly interested," her eyes were actually almost entirely on him.
The answer is obvious.
The agreement with Haruka Mizuki is based solely on Genji Aoyama himself. It's like King You of Zhou lighting the beacon towers just to win a smile from Bao Si.
From an emotional standpoint, this approach made Genji Aoyama somewhat unhappy.
But when he was at his most rational, he was thinking of taking advantage of Minatsuki Haruka's inexplicable desires.
He wanted money, and Haruka Minatsuki wanted him.
Genji Aoyama didn't want to give it.
All that can be done is to showcase the value of oneself, or rather, one's own work, so that Haruka Minatsuki will want money—no one would complain about having too much money.
Money is such a convenient thing.
Time flowed quietly between the two of them. Customers came and went in the coffee shop, and the South Korean female owner would occasionally raise her voice, interspersed with a few words of her hometown dialect.
None of this seemed to affect Haruka Minatsuki.
About ten minutes later, she finally looked up.
A rare look of distress crossed her elegant and beautiful face. Her cherry blossom-like lips parted slightly as she asked hesitantly in a soft, feminine voice, "What should I do?"
"What?"
"Genji is more talented than I imagined."
"Does it mean you think I'll lose control of myself in the future and regret my decision?"
Genji Aoyama gleaned this meaning from Haruka Minatsuki's words, though he didn't say it aloud.
During his three years as a high school student, he planned to temporarily cooperate with Haruka Minatsuki, and even accept that Haruka Minatsuki would take the lion's share of the profits.
He might compromise on profits, but he absolutely had to secure the copyright to the work.
Once the three-year college period is over...
He could think of it, and so could Haruka Minatsuki, who was equally intelligent—so she felt uneasy.
This is one of the sources of the desire for control and possession: a lack of security.
[At 16:32 on April 18th, at the Trevo café, Haruka Minatsuki developed an even stronger desire to control and possess her host. These desires stemmed from her inner unease, because she believed that if her host was too outstanding, she could easily escape her control.]
[Triggering Correction Task: Please provide her with sufficient security, which will manifest as an increase in correction progress, maintaining it at least at 0%]
[Mission Reward: One property in one of the six central wards of Tokyo]
[Task Duration: 1 month]
[Note: The system itself has no penalty mechanism. Due to the uncertainty of the target problem, there may be risks, but rewards may be increased.]
hiss--
Genji Aoyama remained as calm as possible.
It wasn't because of the generous reward, but because of the final hint.
Is this a hint to him that Haruka Minatsuki is developing in the direction of yandere?
"Not good mouth and teeth" can be interpreted as "not good" in various senses.
Aoyama, the rational type, Genji, look at what you've done! You've walked right into a trap.
Aoyama Genji even had a picture in his mind: in a dimly lit basement, a handsome boy was locked in a cage, receiving care from Minatsuki Haruka, who would occasionally whisper gentle words to him.
"What is Genji thinking?"
Gentle words brushed past Aoyama Genji's ears.
Yes, that's the tone.
Genji Aoyama snapped out of his daze and looked at Haruka Minatsuki—Haruka Minatsuki was also looking at him, a gentle smile on her elegant and beautiful face.
"No, it's nothing," he said.
I'm thinking of calling the police.

It's been almost two chapters since I last saw Yuuko. I miss her. —From AiYuTV.
What is Yuko Asahi doing?

scene one:
Inside the archery dojo, Mami Ohara, who was explaining the eight-section archery technique, stopped her movements, her slightly cute face scrunching up:
"I always feel like Asahi-chan isn't very focused. Kyudo requires a clear mind and a calm demeanor, and you have to eliminate distractions from your mind."
"Oh, sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
[Aoyama-kun said he likes Chinese cuisine; he'll ask the AI to research some recipes later.]
Having witnessed Genji Aoyama's operation, Yuko Asahi also found the AI to be very useful.
"Sigh~~ As expected, you can't concentrate when Aoyama-kun isn't around." Ohara Mami's lips were already pouting.
"That's not true," Yuko Asahi denied.
The question about AI flashed through my mind again.
Previous chat log: [What should I pay attention to on a first date with a male friend?]
Before that: [What should I pay attention to on my first date with my boyfriend?]
Earlier: [Should I eat breakfast before or after my morning run?]
[Oh, should I go back early and make dinner for Aoyama-kun? He said he'd be back tonight, and not too late.]
[That way, I should be able to get some rest sooner.]
Asahi Yuko left the club activity early today.
