Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 790 - 788: Shouko Wants to Know the Answer

Hojo Shouko felt like her head was going to explode, yet she still couldn't think of a good solution.

She was never good with words.

That kind of subtle probing didn't suit her.

Her almond-shaped eyes turned to look at Natsuka Yanagimachi on the screen.

"I wouldn't dare say something like that."

Natsuka Yanagimachi was naturally friendly, but no matter how friendly, she knew there were some things she really shouldn't say.

Including her earlier boasts about wanting to tell Phoenix Academy Maggie about Aozawa-senpai's two-timing, which were just expressions of momentary anger.

If asked to actually do such a thing, she wouldn't be able to get the words out.

"Ah, let me think again."

Hojo Shouko said, her eyes suddenly brightened, does Morimoto Chiyoda know about this?

As a guardian, she should have a responsibility to shape and guide Aozawa-senpai's values.

Wait, if Morimoto Chiyoda also knows about this, and even condones it, then what?

Hojo Shouko hadn't thought like this before, but after witnessing Aozawa and Ayatsuki Ayaka shopping together, she couldn't help but question her own judgment.

If the two of them could fool her eyes, could Morimoto Chiyoda fool them too?

What kind of heart lies beneath that mature, confident face?

Hojo Shouko thought about these questions and looked around at the pedestrians on the street, feeling as if every passerby in Shibuya wore a mask that obscured their true face.

"Hiss!"

She gasped, ending the call with Natsuka Yanagimachi, and sent a voice message to Morimoto Chiyoda.

"Miss Morimoto, I've bought the cosmetics."

"Thank you, bring them to the Triangle Coffee Shop in Minato Ward Mita, and I'll treat you to a drink."

Hearing Morimoto Chiyoda's response, Hojo Shouko picked up the cosmetics and started her journey to the Port District.

...

Port District, Mita, Triangle Coffee Shop.

Hojo Shouko looked up, confirmed the sign was correct, and pushed the door open. The bell made a crisp sound.

Morimoto Chiyoda sat in the corner, a black dress similar to an evening gown wrapped around her body, outlining her distinct curves.

That classically beautiful face broke into a smile, waving, "Shouko, over here."

Hojo Shouko walked forward.

Morimoto Chiyoda was full of warmth, "Order whatever you want, if you refuse, it means you don't consider me as one of your own.

I'll be upset."

Hojo Shouko swallowed back her refusal and could only order a coffee, handing over the cosmetics, "Miss Morimoto, here you are."

Morimoto Chiyoda casually placed the cosmetics aside, observing the girl's expression, calm like water, but clearly different from usual, showing slight hesitation.

Morimoto Chiyoda was certain she had seen Aozawa and Ayatsuki Ayaka together.

"You seem quite confused, if you don't mind, why not tell me about it."

Morimoto Chiyoda's tone was gentle, like a seasoned mentor every anime protagonist encounters, lightly tapping on Hojo Shouko's heart.

She sat down, thinking, such a gentle Miss Morimoto surely wouldn't do something like that.

Hojo Shouko bit her red lip, mustering the courage to say, "Miss Morimoto, I actually saw Aozawa-senpai and Ayatsuki-senpai very close while buying cosmetics, beyond mere friendship."

"Then what?"

Morimoto Chiyoda asked with a smile.

Hojo Shouko thought she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, so she spoke again, "Aozawa-senpai is in a relationship with Phoenix Academy's Senior."

"Oh."

Morimoto Chiyoda's response was as light as a cloud, leaving Hojo Shouko a bit surprised; wasn't she being clear enough?

She emphasized, "Aozawa-senpai is in a relationship with Phoenix Academy's Senior.

Yet he seemed very close with Ayatsuki-senpai at the mall, isn't that bad?"

Just then, a waiter came over with coffee, placed it on the table, and walked away.

Morimoto Chiyoda stirred the plum blossom on the coffee with a spoon, unhurriedly saying, "I know.

Not only do I know about it, Phoenix Academy Maggie knows, and Ayatsuki Ayaka knows too.

Aozawa has never hidden his intention to have multiple relationships."

"Eh?!"

Hojo Shouko's small mouth opened slightly, the shocked expression satisfying Morimoto Chiyoda, who quietly reached into her bag for her phone, calmly saying, "Not only them, Aozawa and I also had relations, more than once."

"What?!"

Hojo Shouko's almond eyes widened, a look of shock on her face, a turbulent wave swirled in her heart, causing even her hands to tremble slightly.

The shock of this explosive truth was immense.

Her brain couldn't even process the related information. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

If she remembered correctly, Morimoto Chiyoda should be Aozawa's guardian.

The two, they actually had relations?!

Click, Morimoto Chiyoda promptly took out her phone, snapping a photo of her stunned face, smiled, and said, "I just wanted to see that expression on you.

A lively expression suits a young girl's image."

Hojo Shouko returned to her senses, not blaming her behavior, but rather hopefully said, "Miss Morimoto, you're joking with me, right?"

"It's a shame, but what I just told you is the truth."

Morimoto Chiyoda shrugged, put away her phone with a serious expression, "Aozawa is a responsible person.

So he won't let down those who care for him.

If you choose to confess, Aozawa will accept you, as long as you can tolerate the existence of me, Iroha, and Maggie.

There may be more in the future, I hope you're prepared for this."

"Hmm..."

Hojo Shouko's mind was a mess, like countless bees buzzing around her ear.

She wasn't sure how to respond to such a question, so she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip to hide her thoughts.

But the sugared coffee couldn't soothe the chaotic thoughts.

...

After finishing the coffee, Hojo Shouko wasn't clear on how she left the coffee shop, feeling that the street scenery and sunlight seemed unreal.

Like bubbles that would burst with a single poke.

She walked down the street, initially planning to take the train back, but glanced at the station in front of her.

Hojo Shouko changed her mind, took a Noble Phantasm out of her bag, and murmured: "Heavenly Lock."

The silver chain suddenly spun, transforming into a golden disc by her side, followed by dozens of Heavenly Locks emerging from it, wrapping around her body, then extending rapidly upwards.

"Mommy! Someone's flying!"

The child excitedly raised their hand, and the woman also turned to see a glimpse of Heavenly Lock in the sky.

The wind howled by her ear.

Hojo Shouko returned home, slowly landing on the ground, the Heavenly Locks wrapped around her body loosened, and the golden disc spun again, returning to its original form.

She grabbed it, stuffed it into her bag, and opened the door.

In the living room, Hojo Tetsuji and Yoshikawa Sayuri were seen diligently drawing manga.

Now, Hojo Tetsuji didn't need to worry about future financial issues, but was still passionate about drawing manga.

He believed the happy endings of manga and life hinted at the future he and Yoshikawa Sayuri would have.

So he had to give it his all to draw well.

"Hi, Shouko-chan, you're back."

Yoshikawa Sayuri waved, a warm smile on her face.

Hojo Shouko nodded: "Yes."

She wanted to return to her bedroom to have some quiet time.

Seeing the look on her face, Yoshikawa Sayuri quickly followed and asked: "Did something happen?"

Then Yoshikawa Sayuri patted her chest and said: "You can tell me anything, after all, I'm a year older than you, with one more year of life experience."

Hojo Shouko glanced at her, then thought of her troubling matters, couldn't help but say: "Sister Sayuri, do you know about Aozawa-senpai's affairs?"

Yoshikawa Sayuri blinked, thinking it was something important, but it turned out to be this kind of thing, she nodded: "Hmm, I heard about it from Maggie a while ago, Maggie is also really troubled by it.

Trying to find a solution, but it doesn't seem likely.

Ayatsuki and Miss Morimoto don't seem to have any objections to it.

Oh, Maggie isn't having it easy either."

Yoshikawa Sayuri sighed.

Hojo Shouko felt her worldview completely shattered.

Even when she first learned of the Different World, she could stay expressionless, as she believed those grand adventures were far from her.

She just wanted to live in her daily world, discovering bright spots from minor events.

But she didn't anticipate such an astonishing secret hidden in her everyday world.

Aozawa-senpai has three-timing!

Although there are others doing such things elsewhere in the world, under Japanese law, monogamy is still practiced.

Wait, Phoenix Academy's Senior's mother is the Prime Minister, will she directly amend this law in the future?

Hojo Shouko felt her thoughts were sidetracking.

But she didn't know what else to think at the moment, only that following whatever thoughts popped into her head was the only way to ease the shock brought by these events.

"Shouko-chan, what's wrong?"

Yoshikawa Sayuri waved her hand in front of her eyes.

Hojo Shouko came back to reality, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, it's just the first time hearing about such things, a bit shocking."

"Haha, I was also shocked when I first heard, but since the parties involved have no objections, as outsiders, we shouldn't really say anything."

"Right."

Hojo Shouko responded to her words, then remembered Morimoto Chiyoda's words, as long as she confesses, she would definitely receive a response.

So, should she confess?

Thump thump, her heart suddenly started pounding.

Previously Hojo Shouko didn't want to confess, thinking she couldn't outdo Phoenix Academy's Senior.

But now it's different.

Hojo Shouko suddenly realized her chances were big, she only needed to nod, and Aozawa-senpai would accept her.

But does such acceptance come from love?

Hojo Shouko likes Aozawa.

So Aozawa is happy, she's happy.

But Hojo Shouko never demanded Aozawa's happiness to be because of her.

She didn't want to exploit Aozawa-senpai's kindness and responsibility, expecting him to be responsible for her.

"Shouko, are you okay?"

"No problem."

Hojo Shouko shook her head, deciding to find a way to understand Aozawa-senpai's attitude towards her.
