Starting Tokyo Life From Inheriting A Shopping Street

[Then you'll just have to keep feeling cheated. I'm busy today, not at the shopping district, and neither is my sister. Disappointed?] Sayuki Ogawa smiled playfully.

[Without touching your thighs, I'll die…]

[A grown man whining like this? Aren't you ashamed?]

[I'm not whining. Just stating a fact. Whether or not I touch thighs, everyone dies eventually.]

[...]

[So, next time I get a chance to whine to Sayuki-san?]

[No need for that at all!] Sayuki Ogawa huffed in annoyance. [I'm off to work.]

Shuichi Chiba chuckled as he put his phone away. At this point, he was beginning to piece things together.

The twin sisters had surprisingly similar interests in a way. The elder sister liked to be affectionate with delicate boys, while the younger sister preferred teasing them.

Tsk.

…

After class, Shuichi Chiba grabbed his schoolbag and, out of habit, started heading toward the shopping street. But he quickly realized that there was nothing to do if he went home so early today.

"The Ogawa's ladies are not there today. If I go back this early, should I just stay in my room watching anime and playing games?"

Although anime and games are interesting, there are definitely more exciting things I could be doing right now…

He stepped back from the classroom door and walked over to An Akiyama's desk. "I'm going with you to the student council today."

"Eh?" An Akiyama froze for a moment, then quickly remembered they were still in the classroom. She immediately straightened her expression and said seriously, "Is there something you need to do in the student council, Chiba-kun?"

"Nothing special, just bored and want to visit." Shuichi Chiba replied, glancing at the classmates who were still packing up their things.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he secretly reached out and pinched An Akiyama's slightly chubby cheek.

Hmm, it's soft. It's quite stress-relieving to pinch.

An Akiyama wasn't angry; she just muttered softly, "No meal comes for free, Chiba-kun, you really are stingy. I thought I wouldn't have to get my face pinched today."

Shuichi Chiba stopped as soon as he got what he wanted, releasing her cheek after two quick pinches. If anyone else had seen this scene, their eyes would have probably popped out in surprise.

The usually cool class president actually allowed a gaming nerd from class to pinch her face!

Oh, that's right, I forgot to ask Mom about confessing my feelings last night! An Akiyama suddenly remembered. This is a major life event!

Mom started dating Dad around this age, so I should also make my move soon.

Otherwise, if Chiba-kun ends up like Dad, being pursued by a lot of girls, how will I compete and win, just like Mom did?

Although Mom made it sound easy, is it really that simple?

For a moment, An Akiyama felt a bit of pressure, but thankfully, Chiba-kun is a gaming nerd, so there's no real competition for now.

"What are you thinking? If we don't hurry, we'll be late." Shuichi Chiba noticed her soft, pink lips silently pouting, then zoning out, and reminded her.

"I'll be ready in a second." An Akiyama quickly straightened her face and hurriedly packed up her things.

The two of them left the classroom together. Only a few curious classmates glanced over, but didn't pay much attention.

…

"By the way, is the preparation for the sports festival going smoothly?" Shuichi Chiba asked as they walked toward the student council office.

An Akiyama forced herself to keep a serious expression, pretending to be very composed. Her lips slightly moved as she replied, "My sister is really capable. She's organized everything well, and so far, everything's going smoothly."

"Then, on the day of the sports festival, can you arrange a suitable position for me?" Shuichi Chiba suddenly said.

Typically, it's called a sports meet in elementary school, organized by the school, while in higher grades it's called a sports festival, led by the student council. It's a great way to develop students' organizational skills.

At the same time, the sports festival requires every student to participate in some way. Even if they don't compete in the events, they must contribute in other areas—no one is allowed to just watch.

"What position?" An Akiyama, seeing that no one was paying attention, quietly glanced at him.

"For example... looking after the sports equipment warehouse," Shuichi Chiba said, a meaningful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

The sports festival uses various equipment stored in the sports warehouse. Guarding and managing these items can be quite boring and is generally considered an undesirable position. However, for a gaming nerd like Chiba, it's the perfect job.

"But the job of guarding the sports equipment warehouse might not necessarily be assigned to our class." An Akiyama said, scratching her head.

"No worries. This job hasn't been assigned yet, right? Just suggest it during the meeting." Shuichi Chiba said confidently.

Though all the gaming nerds from various classes liked this job, they had no real influence. The class committee members, who had more authority, wouldn't think of advocating for them. Instead, they were more likely to push for tasks that allowed them to show off.

"Alright." An Akiyama didn't think it was a big deal and nodded in agreement.

"The job of guarding the warehouse needs two people. You can just have me and Uchida assigned to it." Shuichi Chiba said. He had no qualms about leaving this job to Uchida Hachiro, who was just a tool for him to rely on. If it were anyone else, it would be harder to delegate.

"That's fine, but about tomorrow's lunch..." An Akiyama's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"You can pick three items, anything you want." Shuichi Chiba replied, gazing at her innocent, bright smile. For a moment, he felt a bit mischievous.

The arrangement for the sports equipment warehouse was actually meant for the council president, and Shuichi knew that a lot of strange things were going to happen. Meanwhile, the class president was thinking so innocently about lunch…

Before long, the two of them arrived at the student council meeting room, where most of the class representatives were already there.

There were eighteen classes in total, and thus eighteen class representatives—some had assistants, while others were by themselves.

Along with the student council members, the meeting room quickly became crowded.

When Tsuli Akiyama suddenly saw Shuichi Chiba arrive, her eyes lit up, and in her excitement, she stood up.

"President?" The disciplinary committee member beside her looked at her curiously.

"Ah, it's nothing, just been sitting for a while, needing to stand up and stretch." Tsuki Akiyama cleared her throat and calmly explained.

The disciplinary committee member looked at her with a hint of suspicion, thinking that the president had been acting a bit strange lately…

She turned her attention to the door and saw the president's younger sister, along with a smiling male student, walking in.

A guess immediately formed in her mind—The president's sister must have a boyfriend, so the president is feeling a bit unsettled because of that? That's why she acted out of character?

The disciplinary committee member didn't have time to think about it further. She'd been busy lately, and Tsuki Akiyama had always been decisive and efficient in her work, which meant everyone else had to keep up the pace too.

Once everyone had arrived, they quickly took their seats. The student council members sat at one end of the long table, and typically, Tsuki Akiyama would sit right in the center.

However... Today, she was sitting at the far left, which only confirmed the disciplinary committee member's suspicions even more.

The president's younger sister always sat in the first position on the left side of the long table. The fact that the president chose to sit here today must be to keep an eye on her, right? She really is worried about her sister.

Shuichi Chiba pretended to be An Akiyama's assistant, sitting beside her with his chair slightly pushed back, making it appear as though he was just part of the outer circle of assistants. But in reality, he was positioned perfectly between the two sisters.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. The competition events for this year's sports festival have already been finalized, and the venue divisions and material procurement have all been discussed..."

At this point, Tsuki Akiyama suddenly paused, turned her gaze to the student council accountant, and her expression turned ice-cold. "The procurement of materials is going smoothly, right? We don't want any repeat of what happened with the previous student council."
