Tokyo Wingman King

Being secretly photographed is a very normal thing.

After all, in Asama's opinion, Pochi and Futami are so good-looking that even a person with advanced anorexia can eat three and a half pounds of rice with just a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma without getting carbon monoxide sickness.

Today, Futami was wearing a shirt and knee-length skirt that she and the other two had bought together in Shimokitazawa, and a pair of Miumiu Mary Jane leather shoes with black socks.

The top of the socks has a sexy translucent mesh design of about 6 cm.

Erjian recently likes to make some small changes in his dressing style, just like a serious leader in the company changed into a floral tie, making the whole person more eye-catching.

Asama only felt complicated emotions. If he had to describe it, it would probably be as uncomfortable as [an Islamic fundamentalist father seeing his daughter take off her headscarf to attend a bikini party].

Poqi is the unshakable Adidas.

The upper body is a classic clover white short-sleeved shirt with three black stripes on the shoulders, a bit like the old Federal Republic of Germany football team uniform, and the belly button is sometimes visible at the hem.

She wore black clover shorts, revealing a pair of milky white thighs that were not afraid of the sun.

The socks and shoes are also from Adidas.

This lazy style, which doesn't involve much knowledge of fashion and dressing, makes her dress in a way that makes her look like a football babe in her previous life.

Fortunately, Asama has the stereotype that Pochi is a fool. In his eyes, Pochi's sexiness index is only one tenth of what it used to be.

The black-haired Futami and the blonde Pochi, walking together, are like magnetic topaz and black jade, balancing the aesthetic poles on the street.

In Tokyo, any place that is a little bit prosperous will have a lot of friendly and flamboyant people.

In a bustling place like Ginza, it would be unreasonable not to be approached or photographed.

Before that, two groups of street photographers came over and chatted with Asana and the others with the photos they had just taken.

[This is the photo I just took of you. Do you like it? If it’s convenient, add my Instagram and I’ll send it to you.]
[Can I take a photo of the three of you? I’m a photographer from South Korea, and I’m currently doing a photo shoot for the theme of “100 Beautiful Faces in Tokyo”]
Even after being politely declined by Asama, these people still followed the three of them tirelessly and took pictures.

The photographer probably thought, "I've already taken one photo, and since you didn't ask me to delete it, it doesn't matter if I take a few more."

Since someone was following them, Futami and Pochi got even closer to Asama.

From time to time, Futami would pose with his side face looking at Asama affectionately, and Pochi would poke the corner of Asama's mouth with his finger to ask him to control his expression.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

"Want to make a gesture together?"

Futami asked.

"Isn't that a street photographer? Ah Shui, look, she's holding a cell phone."

Asama, who was sitting at a narrow table, followed Pochi's finger and looked at the suspicious voyeur in the corner of the store opposite.

From her figure, we can tell that she is a young girl.

The face cannot be seen clearly, it is protected by a mask, sunglasses and hat.

Asama could tell that this person was taking the photo temporarily - the sunglasses and hat she wore were the same as those worn by a mannequin about 3 meters away from her, and the small tags on them had not been removed in time.

The girl noticed Asana's gaze and her whole body trembled immediately. She turned around and tried to escape, but before she ran away, she turned around again, bowed to this side, and turned away again.

The girl who took the photos secretly must know me.

The phone she used was an Apple Pro of an unknown generation, her bag was an Hermes Mini Medor, her hair was highlighted, and her reaction was too respectful. She was either a student like Toyo Eikazu who joined the Asama Support Group, or one of the rich hot girls in the Bunkyo branch of the Infinite Society.

The number of female fans of Asama at the Yinghe Fan Club and Mugensha is conservatively estimated to be close to a thousand.

He was too lazy to think about who it was.

If I were still a [Strong Shadow Man] hiding in the dark, I wouldn't have this kind of trouble.

"A fan of Shizumi-kun?"

A fresh and sweet scent of lemon peel, benzoin, jasmine and orange blossom arrives.

The bubbly and refreshing scent from Futami quickly took over Asama's senses.

While speaking, the girl moved her body a little bit towards Asana.

The distance between the two people was shortened to the point where they seemed to be about to touch but didn't, which seemed to produce a [penumbra effect].

The mall was very air-conditioned and the distance was so close that Asana could even feel the temperature radiating from Futami's body.

Restraining the desire to get closer, Asana crossed his arms over his chest, tightened his body, and reduced the distance back to one and a half fists. The [penumbra effect] between him and Futami disappeared.

"I'm not a celebrity, how can I have so many fans?"

Erjian moved a little closer without caring and said with a smile,

"If Jingshui-kun reopens his INS account, he will definitely be very popular."

Futami said this because she recently discovered several INS accounts that specialize in posting photos and short videos of Asama.

It is said that one of the accounts, called [5A Scenic Spot], gained more than 3 new followers in just three days.

Currently, this account also has the most fans of Asama. Even if the followers of rock supernova Fuzuigawa, Tiktok big V Shinomiya Yukina, and well-known model Yamashita Rei are added together, it is still not more than 5/1 of [3A scenic spot].

Hearing Futami's suggestion, Asana shook his head.

He would not seek trouble for himself. Since he could collect the news he needed with crawler software, he cancelled all his social media accounts.

The average number of followers is over 2000, and the average number of fans is less than 10.

Why keep an account that has lost its function of collecting information without canceling it?

"If I were a scholar with profound insights, I might consider reopening my Instagram account and posting some useful content."

"Isn't it now?"

"Not even close."

Even if he gets a diploma from Tokyo University and a teaching qualification in a few days, he will still be just a knowledge middleman who picks up other people's ideas.

Thinking of this, Asama retracted his gaze and prepared to ask Pochi, "Why do you mind being secretly photographed at this time? Didn't you not mind it before?"
But he saw that she was holding his ice cream cup, and the Qingwang grape-flavored ice cream in the cup had disappeared.

It turned out to be a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Careless.

Asama started with a punishing iron fist, but Pochi was prepared and dodged the head hit, and delivered a grappling move commonly used by boxers.

Pochi was laughing and playing with Asama, and Futami looked at the spoon in the ice cream cup in front of Pochi with an envious expression.

Although there have been many kisses in Futami's dream, what she wants more is such an unscrupulous indirect kiss!
In Japan, it is normal for cousins ​​to marry each other. So Ms. Pochi is also a potential enemy.
[Become family first, then lovers! ]
[First obtain the indirect kiss right, then obtain the direct kiss right! ]
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The revolutionary path of love becomes clearer the more you look at it!

"Ouch, it hurts! Xiaoyue Hai!!! Quick! Stop Ah Shui! My brain is coming out!!!"

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that your head is hollow. If you don't believe me, knock it twice and listen to the echo."

Asama continued to move, and Pochi's face was distorted.

The cheating girl felt as if her two temples were about to be drilled with holes by the Phoenix Eye Fist.

"Save me! Xiaoyue Hai Daimyojin!"

As a result, before Futami intervened, Asama and Pochi were asked to leave the ice cream shop by the staff.

Pochi rubbed his temple, hid behind Futami, and said sadly,

"Damn you Ah Shui, I said I'd buy you another cup."

"Some people won't learn their lesson unless they are beaten hard."

Asama said while staring at Pochi with a scary smile.

Futami also laughed.

"I always feel like Shizumi-kun is very different next to Ms. Pochi."

These three people seemed to have no psychological burden at all from the social death experience of being kicked out of the store.

Pochi hugged Futami and nodded.

"Ashui's true colors have finally been revealed. Ever since he gained a little popularity in Tokyo, he has become complacent.

If he can do something to his dear sister today, he can do something to other classmates tomorrow.

Xiao Yuehai, don't be fooled by his superficial skills! I tell you, Ah Shui has been a professional at making girls cry since he was a child."

[The blond fictional historian] improvised some intelligent and touching stories, trying to discredit Asama's image in Futami's mind.

Asana resisted the urge to punish her - Pochi kept making up stories and Futami asked about the details with great interest, which was a good thing for him, at least they had resigned from their positions as his left and right bodyguards.

This position should not exist!
Asana looked at the time and continued strolling with the two of them, picking out some new desserts in various dessert shops.

Part of it will be given to the girls, and part of it will be taken back home by Pochi tomorrow.

"Hey, Pochi-san, didn't you say that the last time you changed Shizumi-kun's diaper was when he was 2 and a half years old? How come it's 3 and a half this time?"

Futami was confident that he could remember all the information from Asama.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that this time I am speaking according to the way my hometown says. In my hometown, boys are counted according to their virtual age. Ah Shui is now actually a 17-year-old man in our place~"

Pochi quickly found a far-fetched reason.

"Is that right?"

Futami looked at Asama, who shrugged and said,
"Based on my experience of 16 years of interaction, when talking to someone with a bad brain, don't worry too much about authenticity, logic, and consistency."

"A Shui, this stinky fellow who [forgot his sister], [betrayed his teacher and destroyed his sister], [scolded and scolded his sister]."

"." Considering the efforts that Pochi had made in classical literature, Asana decided to forgive her for her outspokenness.

The three of them wandered around the basement of GINZA SIX for a while.

Time passed until almost 11 o'clock.

"Oh no! All the Dead Samurai merchandise is sold out."

Futami held his phone in front of Asama and Pochi, and someone on X had already posted a message saying [All band merchandise at Tsutaya Bookstore sold out within an hour!].

"It's okay. If you like it, you can ask F-san and the others for it."

"If you don't queue up to buy it in person, then it can't be considered support. It's clearly limited, how can it be sold out so quickly?"

Futami continued to look at the information on X with a look of regret.

"This is probably compensation for those who stayed up late. It's okay, can't we support you on site today?"

Asama comforted.

Today's schedule for the three of us is to attend Ichijo Masumi's concert in the afternoon, and then meet up with Ichijo, Hououin, and Fujiwara in the evening to watch the performance of the Death Samurai band together.

Pochi also took out his cell phone and shared the information he had just seen.

"Those people who lined up all night are mostly scalpers, right? Look, the price has been raised and the products are on sale~"

Pochi then asked curiously,
“Hmm??? Those idols seem to have a green channel! Comments say they can all be ordered in advance.

Otherwise, Xiaoyue Hai, you should also become an actress~~~ First be the heroine of a morning drama, and then host the Red and White Song Festival attended by Xiao Li Ze and Xiao Mai~! When the time comes, A Shui and I will cheer for you in front of the TV~~~"

Erjian waved his hands repeatedly at this bad idea.

The person sitting next to Asama and watching the Red and White Song Contest together should be her!

Asama also glanced at Pochi.

How does this guy's brain circuit work?
We have plenty of money now, so if we really want to support them, we should definitely go and support them in person, right?
The three of them took the escalator and looked up at the large installation [Astronaut Version of Ship Cat] by artist Kenji Yanobe above the atrium, and went all the way to the 4th floor, where they checked in at a century-old Ginza store - [Nakamura Tokichi] Tea Shop.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the rich aroma of sencha that permeates the entire store.

From selling tea to selling various snacks such as matcha cakes, to selling tea culture peripherals with a cross logo, this century-old brand has always been doing well and is more vibrant than some Uji Matcha brands that are more than 200 years old.

Asama ordered two servings of raw tea jelly, three scoops of red bean matcha ice cream, and special matcha sundaes [Harugumo] and [Fuyutsuki] for Futami and Pochi, and a cup of sencha for himself.

The three people, who had been eating snacks for two hours in a row, had their tired taste buds suddenly awakened by the taste of tea.

It is indeed a paradise for Matcha fans.

After confirming that there was no room in their stomachs for anything else, the three of them skipped lunch and went straight to the 6th floor to browse the bookstore.

Buying charity souvenirs for the Dead Samurai band is just one of today's goals.

The more important goal is to accompany Boqi to buy books.

Boqi complained that the electronic version of the information was too harmful to the eyes, and the information printed out using the second-hand inkjet printer in his hometown was also blurry, so it would be better to just buy the book and read it.

Of course, Asana knew that this was an excuse, but he agreed to it and picked out a few exercise books for her.

Asama holds a top-level membership card given to him by his class monitor, Gogyoin Sei, and can buy as many books as he wants from Tsutaya Bookstore.

Although he could not be as self-disciplined and frugal as the great revolutionaries, he still had the idea of ​​saving money wherever possible.

On the one hand, Tsutaya Books is an innovative immersive space that hosts lifestyles and art exhibitions. The bookstore's richly themed exhibition areas and products have greatly expanded its customer base. It may be more appropriate to describe it as a museum of literary and artistic life. On the other hand, Tsutaya Books is also a full-category bookstore where "anyone can find the books they want to read", even books that are not related to art and some downgraded teaching and training books can also be found here.

Pochi's books were soon collected, and Futami suddenly had the urge to buy a few books to read.

"What kind of books do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy all the books Jingshui-kun wants to read but hasn't read yet~"

"The book that Ah Shui reads is so boring, it's only suitable for reading before bed!"

Asama glanced sideways at Pochi,
“All great people can endure boredom. When you make these things that others cannot endure intolerable a habit, you will become an outstanding person.”

"Well, I already am! When it comes to tolerating Ah Shui, I am already number one in the world~"

Pochi raised his chin, proudly put one hand on his waist, and suddenly said,

"Eh? Ah Shui, you didn't deny it just now. Your books are boring!!!"

“It is more meaningful to recognize what is behind boredom than to find fun.”

"If Ah Shui keeps being so boring, your nose hair will turn white."

Asama glared at Pochi, but she stuck out her tongue in response.

"How about this book, Shizumi-kun?"

Futami took the book in his hand and shook it at Asama.

"Tsutaya Business Philosophy". This book is not philosophy at all, right?
Why is it in the philosophy section? Is it because it was written by the bookstore founder?
Flattery!!!

Seeing Asama shaking his head, Futami returned the book and then stood on tiptoe to take out a book from the bookshelf - "Process and Reality: A Cosmological Study" by British philosopher Whitehead.

"What about this one?"

Asama's memory of Alfred Whitehead is that he and his apprentice Bertrand Russell co-authored the logical masterpiece "Principia Mathematica", and that he was cheated on by his apprentice during the creation of the work.

In this way, Whitehead became Greenhead.

Human beings' ability to remember gossip is always greater than their ability to remember knowledge.

After reflecting for 0.1 seconds, Asama replied,
“I haven’t studied process philosophy.

Whitehead once said that the entire history of European philosophy is nothing more than a series of footnotes to Plato’s thoughts. All innovations are micro-innovations, and all new things are actually just the inheritance, development, and criticism of old things. And this alternation of the old and the new is the manifestation of the process. "

Futami knew that Asama was reading Kant recently, so he held Whitehead's book to his chest.

Having a tit-for-tat debate with Asama sounds like a good idea.

Besides, whitehead and Shizumizu-kun are a good match, right?
Pochi looked at the book cover on Futami's chest and said,

"Process philosophy. In other words, a book that tells people that results are unimportant?"

This guy's serious comment just made Asana laugh, but he held it back.

“It is said to be an anti-Kant book. If Kant is [objective idealism], then Whitehead is [subjective materialism]. Many people are impressed by the large amount of strict formal logic in this book and think that Kant’s philosophy is just a small essay written by liberal arts students.

The contents about unconsciousness and art in this book have a flavor of Hegel's roommate Schelling. The discussion about religion and God in this book has some similar ideas to the interpretation of [Heaven] and [Tao] in Chinese Confucianism and Taoism.

"Ah Shui, you said so much, and you still said you haven't studied it?"

“I just memorized some comments and didn’t even read the book. How can that be considered research?
So, Boqi, I'd rather continue to be a person who doesn't read books than to be a person who thinks he has finished reading a book just by reading the introduction, flipping through the beginning and the end, and memorizing some reviews. "

"Who said I don't read? Uncle Pochi loves reading the most. Look, the row in front is full of my favorite books!"

Pochi pointed ahead - to the comics section of Tsutaya Books.

"."x2
Futami, holding the white-headed book, had no intention of buying a second book. He just walked into the comics area with Asama and Pochi.

As they walked, the three of them came to the area of ​​girls' comics. Their eyes were full of stars and roses.

After seeing a comic called "The Evolution of the Perfect Lady", Futami smiled and asked Asana,
"What kind of person do you think is a perfect woman?"

Asana flipped through the girls' comic book.

Such an ugly painting style can be called perfect?

Pochi leaned forward and smiled.

"Are you thinking about Mr. Pochi? Hehehe~ Pochi works harder every day, and every day he becomes more perfect~"

"."

Asama looked down at Pochi with the condescending eyes of a dog in a cage or a frog in a well.

If he were to list this guy's shortcomings, he could list them until tomorrow morning - he eats a lot, loves to drink, is thick-skinned, has a bad sleeping posture, is outspoken, tells lies all the time, lacks ambition, has no defenses, never covers his teeth with a toothpaste cap, can't speak Russian, has blond hair even without dyeing it, and just stepped into a bookstore with his left foot.
Although her studies and cooking skills have improved rapidly during this period, her parents also praised Boqi for being diligent and sensible without "princess syndrome", this guy has a cheerful and generous personality, top motor nerves, quick response, relaxed and not introverted, kind and easy to communicate. Huh? Why are they praising him!?

Asama put the book back on the shelf and said to Pochi,

“A person’s knowledge is like a circle. The larger the area of ​​the circle, the larger its circumference will be, and the more points of contact between its edge and the unknown will be. At this time, he will find that the larger he is, the more unknown things he will come into contact with.

The greater a person is, the more he understands how ridiculous the word perfect is.

Before you start boasting that you are becoming more perfect every day, you should tighten the screws in your head. "

"Humph! It's because you hit my head every day that the parts inside are loosened! Ah Shui is my biggest enemy on the road to ascension!"

What's the meaning of ghost ascension? In order to make Pochi perfect, you even give up being a human?

Futami touched Asama's arm.

"Shizue-kun, which type do you prefer, the concentric circle girl, the inscribed circle girl, the circumscribed circle girl, the intersecting circle girl, or the circumscribed circle girl?"

"."

Is this how reading comprehension is done?

A greeting filled with surprise came from the side.

"Great teacher???"

An unexpected trio appeared in front of Asama and his two companions.

Asana's eyes met with one of them, and he clearly read the words "want to die". (End of this chapter)
