Sadly, this is an ordinary world.
However, that realization made Akira Fujimiya breathe a quiet sigh of relief.
If people who could shatter the buildings with bare hand or start using destructive forces really existed, his peaceful daily life would collapse instantly.
The message he had just read emphasized that self-practice mattered most.
In other words, the system's ability was only auxiliary—how far one could reach still depended on one's own effort.
"Hiratsuka-sensei has always said I started exercising too late," Akira muttered with a small smile. "But now, it doesn't seem too late after all."
He pictured the day he'd mastered all of Hiratsuka-sensei's moves, then challenged her using her own techniques.
Her shocked expression would be priceless.
Chuckling to himself, Akira again open and looked at the virtual screen hovering in front of him.
The page displaying Miura Yumiko's profile had just turned, and a new name appeared.
"Isshiki Iroha, huh?" Akira murmured. He wasn't surprised.
After all, there were only a handful of heroines from Sobu High School, and Iroha was the only one he hadn't met yet.
System is not making it easy for me...
Seeing her appear next felt completely logical.
It also proved the rules of the system—the next heroine always came with a higher difficulty setting, or someone he had not interacted with.
If he hadn't helped Kawasaki Saki before, maybe she would've been the one to appear now.
Akira closed the virtual interface again and looked toward the football field in the distance.
"So, time to test the second possibility…" he thought.
"If I don't approach her, will the new heroine approach me instead?"
...
Afternoon – After the Exams,
When school ended, Akira had just finished drawing the fifth chapter of Non Non Biyori.
He started drawing the manga after completing the test.
The release of the first compiled volume would still take some time, but he wasn't worried. He drew manga for two main reasons—animation adaptation and money.
Part of the fifty billion yen he had earned (or got) was already invested in the Yukinoshita family's development projects.
Yukinoshita Haruno personally selected ventures that promised quick returns.
With the Yukinoshita family's business strength, the risks were minimal, and Akira's assets would grow rapidly.
Whenever the family launched new construction or technology projects, they retained partial ownership after completion, while also allowing limited outside investment.
Thirty percent of the shares were non-transferable, but the remaining seventy could be purchased freely.
Haruno's plan was simple—she wanted Akira to hold more than fifty percent of the shares. Although the price was high, she believed the returns would be far greater.
Akira trusted her judgment completely.
He didn't concern himself with the details of the investments; all that mattered to him were the results.
.....
After School,
Since they had promised to watch a movie together that evening, Akira didn't go to the tennis court.
Yukinoshita Yukino headed to Flash Animation Studios, while Kawasaki Saki went to Future Comic Publishing.
That left Akira with Yuigahama Yui, Miura Yumiko, and Ebina Hina.
Among the three girls, two already shared romantic ties with him, and the third had a good impression of him as well.
Logically, that should've made things awkward—but both Akira and Ebina were intelligent enough to avoid unnecessary tension.
The four of them went to a dessert café the girls loved.
Akira wasn't so fond of sweets, but he had to admit—they tasted pretty good.
After they finished, they strolled through a quiet shopping street.
Akira noticed several shops that caught his interest:
A traditional Japanese confectionery with a nostalgic aroma.
An old-fashioned convenience store filled with quirky, unique goods—it reminded him of the one in Non Non Biyori, almost identical in layout.
And a small bookstore that sold both manga and some rather Indecent magazines.
The entire street stood in stark contrast to the modern mall nearby. Few people passed through, and even those who did barely glanced at the shops.
"In order to save the shopping street from decline, the heroine decides to debut as an idol," Akira said suddenly. "What do you think of that story?"
"Eh? Akira-kun, can that even be called a story?" Yui blinked.
"....It sounds kind of interesting," Yumiko admitted after a pause.
"Shopping street plus idol girls?" Ebina mused thoughtfully.
"No matter what it is, as long as the heroine is a cute high school girl, it'll work," Akira said with a faint smile.
"Will Fujimiya-kun ever make that kind of anime?" Ebina asked curiously.
He nodded slightly. "Maybe. It's not the most ambitious idea, but it makes people feel good."
A group of cute girls working hard toward a goal—those kinds of stories always left a warm impression.
Dozens of such scenes flashed vividly through his mind.
'Could this be the effect of super memory enimpression' Akira thought.
Enhanced memory helped recall general information, but super enhanced memory preserved every fine detail.
The difference was enormous.
He decided to organize all his ideas later that night and send them to Tamura Wakaka.
She specialized in producing shows that captured girls' charm perfectly.
If they could launch a series of these "cute girls doing cute things" animations—one per season or two—it could easily last over a decade.
.....
Inside the theater,
Akira sat with Miura Yumiko to his left and Yuigahama Yui to his right.
Ebina Hina sat beside Yui.
Once the movie started, Akira subtly reached out and held both girls' hands.
Yui squeezed his hand naturally, while Yumiko blushed and glanced nervously toward Yui, hoping she wouldn't notice.
Not long after, Akira felt something was… off about the film.
The male lead was dating two girls simultaneously—
Instantly, Akira could feel the stares of the three girls beside him.
When the movie reached its love triangle scene, he felt genuine dread.
Then came the twist: the first heroine turned out to be a yandere.
The second heroine protected the male protagonist, engaging in a battle of wits and emotions with the first.
During their conflict, the two began to understand each other's hearts.
Akira thought it would end there—but the plot took a wild turn.
The first heroine… fell in love with the second heroine.
"...Unbelievable," Akira muttered under his breath, earning quiet laughter from Ebina.
While, Yui thought of the stuff Akira and she said to Yukino, she quickly look at the beautiful, neatly clean wall.
She was blushing.
(Note: No yuri)
....
When they exited the theatre, Akira was still processing what he had just watched.
"...The male protagonist was hopeless," he sighed. "But the two female leads ending up together? That was unexpected."
Fortunately, Yumiko and Yui were both normal girls—he couldn't imagine dealing with a real yandere.
The group reached the station.
Yumiko and Ebina said their goodbyes and left together.
When their figures disappeared into the crowd, Akira turned and left with Yuigahama Yui.
.....
On the Way Back,
They passed by the clothing store where Akira had previously bought outfits for Kawasaki Saki.
Remembering about that, he led Yui inside.
Yui didn't mind trying on professional attire—she was actually curious to see how she'd look in it.
After choosing a few pieces, she disappeared into the fitting room.
Ten minutes later, she emerged wearing a sleek gray business suit.
"How is it, Akira?" she asked, smiling nervously, hoping for his approval.
"You look perfect for the role of my secretary," Akira said after a moment's gaze.
"Really?" Yui's eyes sparkled.
"Yeah," he nodded. "When the time comes, I'll have a lounge arranged in the office."
"Akira-kun, you!" Yui's face turned red.
"Take everything you tried on," Akira said calmly. "And next, try the high heels. Also…"
He paused, eyes briefly lowering to her legs.
Yui noticed instantly, and her blush deepened even further.
After another half hour, Akira carried the shopping bags, glancing inside before looking at her again.
'She's… definitely thinking too much,' he thought with amusement.
Feeling his gaze, Yui turned away, her face still burning.
...
Back at Sakurasou,
Akira was preparing for dinner today.
Yui played games with Kawasaki Keika in the living room.
She was surprisingly good with children—though Keika's well-behave and understanding personality certainly helped.
Dinner was ready soon.
And by the time they all finished eating, the sun dipped below the horizon, the warm orange light filled the apartment.
Keika sat quietly doing her homework, not once asking when her sister would return.
She knew her sister would come home eventually, and that "Akira nii-san" had given her sister a comfortable job.
That was what her sister had told her—and for that, Keika was deeply grateful.
