This is Yuzumi Yu's second time visiting the luxury apartment.
The simple and elegant lobby and the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor allow you to enjoy the carefully designed small courtyard outside, the cobblestone path, and the slender green bamboo.
The first time was ten years ago, when I went to the little girl's house.
It may sound a bit naive, but that's the truth. However, Yuzumi Yu doesn't care about it.
Swipe the card, take the elevator, and go all the way to the top floor, the 3rd floor.
Yes, the third floor is the top floor.
The luxury apartments here are very low-rise, but that only makes them look more expensive.
When you open the door, you will see a huge entrance hall.
The girl was changing her shoes, revealing her small feet wrapped in white socks.
The decoration style of the house is very similar to that of the lobby on the first floor, both are simple and elegant.
After changing his shoes, he walked in and saw a spacious living room, clean and tidy. Warm yellowish light shone from the ceiling above his head. Yuzumi You looked at the floor-to-ceiling window and it was very dark outside.
He subconsciously put his right hand on the hilt of the knife, but fortunately stopped the movement.
...The genes moved.
"Please sit down and feel free. What would you like to drink?" Haruna Kusaka was a little casual at home and walked towards the open kitchen.
"Soda is fine." Yuzumi Yu walked towards the sofa.
"No soda." The girl turned around.
"Boiled water, then."
"There's no plain water either."
"...whatever comes."
"Only milk." The girl chuckled.
Yuzumi Yu couldn't help but look back at Kusaka Haruna.
"I just drank milk this morning, no thanks." The boy sat down on the sofa and put his bag on the blanket on the floor.
After a while, Kusaka Haruna came over with a bottle of purified water and placed it on the coffee table.
The boy glanced at her.
"There is no boiled water, but there is purified water."
Yuzumi Yuu had a blank expression on his face and took the mineral water: "Actually, this joke isn't very funny, Kusaka-san."
The girl's eyes fell on the black sword that the boy placed on the coffee table.
"What are you bringing this for?" she asked.
"I'm actually a master." Yuzumi Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and paused in front of his mouth, "I can help you with Feng Shui."
After saying that, he drank a sip of pure water.
Hearing this, Kusaka Haruna smiled lightly: "It seems that I have no right to refuse you."
"Why do you say that?" The boy screwed the lid on.
"You've laid it out on the table."
"So, is that okay?"
The girl brushed her hands across her hips and sat down on the sofa: "Then please ask Master Yuzumi to help me with my Feng Shui."
The young man stood up solemnly: "Excuse me."
Kusaka Haruna leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees, and watched Yuzumi Yu's actions quietly.
"Can I take a look at the door of your room?" Yuzumi Yu asked while picking up the sword.
"Can."
After receiving the reply, Yuzumi Yu opened his true eyes and went back to his old job.
'True eyes! '
The world is clear!
He began patrolling with a sword in hand, unconsciously lowering his steps and checking one by one.
Presently he returned to the living room and sheathed his knife.
"Do you have any suggestions, Master Yuzumi?" Kusaka Haruna seemed to be teasing, but her words were still gentle.
"A perfect house." Yuzumi Yu took out eye drops.
"Why does your voice sound a little regretful?"
"Nothing." Yuzumi Yu started to put eye drops in.
The girl stared at the boy with clear eyes: "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
"Every time I help people with feng shui, my eyes get sore." Blinking, the boy's eyes became moist, and he put away the expensive 999 yen eye drops.
In fact, he was very fast and his eyes were just a little sore, but he still had to cry because he didn't want to become blind.
"Let's get down to business." Yuzumi Yu put the knife into his backpack.
That's right, he didn't put it in before, just to let the other party notice it and then ask him.
The sword was too long, so the backpack couldn't be completely put down, leaving part of the handle exposed.
"What do you want to do?" the girl asked.
"I guess the time it can reduce in this state is limited, so I'm going to give it a try first to see how much time it can reduce at most." Yuzumi Yu looked at the girl.
Kusaka Haruna tucked her hair and said, "Do you know how long this state will last?"
"It's been a few months now, I can probably feel it."
"Okay." The girl smiled faintly, "So now I just need to change you back after you turn into a cat?"
"Please."
Kusaka Haruna had no opinion, nor did she ask what would happen if the time ran out and the boy couldn't fulfill his promise. She just said, "Let's get started."
"Um..." Yuzumi Yu looked around and blinked - the lingering moisture of eye drops, "Is there a blanket or something?"
The girl was startled, then pursed her lips: "I'll get it for you."
Yuzumi Yu watched the other person walk into the room. When he came out, he was holding a folded blanket in his hand. He took it and unfolded it. It was very big. It should be the quilt used when turning on the air conditioner in the summer. It could wrap him up perfectly!
"Kusaka-san, I'll start then."
"good."
"Excuse me." The young man bowed slightly. "What I'm going to say next may be offensive, please bear with me."
"fine."
The word "bitch" came to his lips, but Yuzumi swallowed it. Thinking that Kusaka Haruna might be very sensitive to this word, he was silent for a while and said to the girl, "You are such an ugly girl."
[Host transformation countdown 10, 9, 8...]
"Sorry." Yuzumi Yu apologized.
"fine."
When the time comes, Yuzumi Yu transforms directly into Yuzumi Cat!
The hair is as white as snow and very clean, and the two glass-blue eyes are very clear, like the clear sky.
The girl bent down and gently picked up the cat Yuzumi from the pile of clothes. The girl and the cat looked at each other.
The cat's body is very soft and its fur feels very comfortable to touch.
It's really cute.
She moved closer to the cat's side face, and Yuzumi Cat struggled instantly, "Meow meow", wait!
Kusaka Haruna looked at him in confusion. He pounced on the air with his two feet, and pointed his two cat paws at the blanket on the sofa beside him.
Point once, point again, and point again.
The girl looked at it and her cheeks blushed slightly.
She half-wrapped the cat in a blanket and then kissed it.
[Changing back...0]
There was no countdown, Yuzumi Yu changed back directly.
In an instant, he wrapped the blanket tightly around himself, and the girl turned her head to the other side with her hair tied up.
[Guaranteed 1200 Evolution Degrees]
The degree of evolution has increased.
This guess is correct.
What if there is no increase?
That could be the other direction – the transformation kiss that needs to be obtained from a different person.
"Let's continue, Kusaka-san."
"good."
Yuzumi Yu couldn't see the girl's face, he could only see her hair that was turned back.
"You are an ugly girl."
[Transformation countdown...]
In this way, back and forth, constantly changing, the minimum evolution degree of the "He and It" event continues to increase.
Finally, it increased to a respectable 2000!
Moreover, this is just the bottom line.
After changing back and wrapping himself tightly in the blanket, Yuzumi Yu opened the event panel.
[Guaranteed 2000 Evolution Degrees]
Is the upper limit reached?
Try again.
After another transformation.
[Event - He and It, Event Completion: Guaranteed 2000 Evolution Points, Failure Penalty: Emotion Points Cleared]
The upper limit.
Doubled.
Make a lot of money.
What is the value of 2000 evolution degrees?
It is approximately equivalent to two level 2 special abilities and 20 level 1 special abilities!
You need to eliminate at most 20 spirits and complete 20 common events - which is equivalent to 20,000 emotion points!
Get rich, really get rich.
A while ago, he was so strapped for cash that he wanted to tear apart his 100 evolution degrees and use them all. A whole night of searching for a spirit was not as good as the few minutes he spent at Kusaka Haruna's house.
Now, these 2000 evolution degrees are like fixed-term deposits in a bank. When the time comes, he can withdraw them directly. The only pity is that there is no interest.
With these 2000 evolution degrees, I can directly reach level 2, and my intelligence can also light up another characteristic.
Soar into the sky?
The boy was lost in thought, and Kusaka Haruna turned her face to the side, with her long, smooth hair falling down.
Yuzumi Yu suddenly thought that after the "He and It" incident ended, it would be June again in a few days, and he would be able to draw another special ability at that time.
So you don't have to be in a hurry. Just pull out the one that can be used first. If it is useful, upgrade it directly.
He felt that it was still a bit risky to rely solely on a level 2 old man to deal with the two samurai at the torii gate.
After all, he doesn't have the protection of time and space travel this time, so if he gets hurt, he will really get hurt.
The future prime minister's health is very precious.
"Are you okay? Yuzumi-san." The girl asked in a clear voice, perhaps because she didn't hear the boy.
Yuzumi Yu collected his thoughts and raised his head. Because of his cheerful mood, a hint of smile could be heard in his voice: "Okay, it seems that it has been reduced to the upper limit."
"How long is left?"
"It should be late May, and I'll be back to normal." The boy said seriously, "Thank you very much, Kusaka-san."
"No need to thank me, this is just mutual benefit." The girl said lightly.
What Kusaka-san said was really harsh.
Although they were using each other, saying it so openly... He suddenly remembered something and opened the prompt to obtain emotional value.
Tips pop up one after another.
[Kusaka Haruna——1]
[Kusaka Haruna——2]
[Kusaka Haruna——3]
[Kusaka Haruna——5]
...
These are the emotional reactions after Yuzumi Yu said those offensive words to the girl in order to turn into a cat.
Even though she knew he didn't mean that, she still felt uncomfortable after being scolded.
But, as long as there is emotional value, it's fine.
"I look forward to you becoming my next major shareholder, Kusaka-san."
"Kusaka-san, what I said before was not my intention, but I still want to apologize again for my previous offense." The boy had a calm expression and lowered his head slightly, his voice sincere.
"It's okay, I understand." said the girl.
A guy who says one thing and means another.
Kusaka Haruna has already fulfilled Yuzumi Yu's request, and now it's his turn to fulfill the girl's request.
Yuzumi Yu didn't know why the girl agreed to fulfill his request first, but he believed that the reason was actually very simple - that quiet scholarly air, and the fact that she changed him back for the first time without asking any questions.
Of course, the premise of all this is that his life will not be in danger, and the penalty for failure is only the emotional value.
After turning into a cat named Yuzumi again, Kusaka Haruna held him up and carefully checked his claws. Seeing that they were very clean, the girl smiled with satisfaction.
She put Yuzhu cat on the sofa, unlocked her phone, opened the memo, placed it in front of the cat, lowered her body, and her long hair fell like a soft waterfall on the sofa.
"Can I touch your head?" the girl asked.
Yuzumi Cat glanced at the phone in front of him, and a clear, pleasant voice uttered from his mouth: "It's better not to."
The girl was slightly surprised.
After a pause, the cat said, "Of course, if you insist, I won't resist."
This was what he currently owed her.
The purpose of looking for Kusaka Haruna is to prevent more people from knowing about the system.
"How come you can speak suddenly?" The girl's almond eyes were very clear.
"Maybe the upper limit has been triggered and the language function has been unlocked." Yuzumi Cat was not really sure, but he suddenly became able to speak.
This is a good thing.
At least we can communicate.
Kusaka Haruna looked at the cute cat that could speak human language, smiled slightly and extended her hand.
Her soft hand was placed on the cat's back, and the cat could feel the slightly cool temperature of her palm. The girl stroked the cat's back again and again.
What's going on? It feels a bit comfortable - this is Yuzumi Yu's feeling.
It feels so comfortable to touch - this is the feeling from Haruna Kusaka.
"Wait a minute!" Yuzumi Cat raised his paw, and when the girl looked at him, he said, "Please help me take out the textbooks from my bag."
After the textbooks were placed on the sofa, he lay down, lowered his head, opened the textbook and started reading.
Even turning into a cat requires so much effort, if I don't succeed, who will?
The cat is reading a book and the girl is looking at the cat. It is such an awkward scene that Kusaka Haruna couldn't help laughing.
Yuzumi Cat glanced at the girl.
Be happy, be happy, but you won't be happy anymore when I get first place in the grade - now the first on the academic ranking list is Kusaka-san.
A person and a cat were sitting on the sofa in the living room. A pale yellow light was emitted from the ceiling. The girl took off her shoes and sat cross-legged, reading a book of literature.
Yuzumi cat lay beside the girl, flipping through the textbook, with its little tail hanging down at its side.
The sky outside the window is getting darker. It is clearly morning, but it feels like night.
The wind was howling outside, but the house was quiet with only the sound of turning pages.
There was a flash of white outside the window, and after a while, thunder roared, signaling the coming rainstorm.
Yuzumi Cat jumped off the sofa, ran to the floor-to-ceiling window with his short legs, stood up and lay on the window, looking outside.
The big tree was blown to one side. Under the dim sky, the street lights were on, even though it was still morning.
The view is a bit low and not very comfortable, so he prefers to stand with his hands in his pockets.
Accompanied by loud thunder and strong winds that sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, the rain poured down.
It was as if it swept across everything. In just a moment, the world was washed by rain, which was even more violent than the heavy rain that day. There was no doubt that if he showed his head out now, he would be instantly drowned.
He took the textbook and lay down in front of the French window. After reading for a while, the girl came over and squatted down. There was a gentle smile in her eyes: "Can we change places?"
Feather Cat: "..."
"Kusaka-san," he said, "you can be a little unruly. Now I am fulfilling my promise to you."
The girl bent down, picked him up, picked up his book, and walked towards the bedroom.
"If you want to sleep with me, it's better not to be too unrestrained." Yuzumi Cat said.
"Hazumi-san's thoughts are really amazing..." The girl smiled softly and said nothing more.
"This is not Yuzumi's thinking, this is Tateno's thinking." Yuzumi Cat corrected.
"Who is Tateno?"
"A great thinker."
"A thinker with a head full of yellow garbage?"
Yuzumi Cat: This guy is so smart.
Arriving at Kusaka's bedroom, Kusaka Haruna put the cat on the piano by the window, put the book on it, sat in front of the piano, and opened the key cover.
The girl stepped on the pedals barefoot and pressed her slender white fingers on the keys.
Cat Yuzumi curled up on the piano cover and looked through the textbook.
It's thundering and raining outside. Is this guy playing the piano?
Really interested.
The curtains were open, and Yuzumi Cat was facing the window. Through the dim light in the room, he could see the reflection on the glass and the heavy rain outside.
As the sound of rain came in, the piano keys were pressed and light piano sounds were heard.
The cat Yuzumi glanced at the girl.
Playing this song during a thunderstorm is really appropriate.
The girl didn't sing, she just played the song, but the melody of the song was so deeply rooted in his heart that the original singer unconsciously played the rhythm in his mind.
[Lost in the streets at night with unclean steps]
Where did this come from? It's so miserable.
[Come to my place, I will give you warmth]
[I've been working hard all along.]
Why don't you take a break here?
[Wouldn't you like to have a good chat?]
——It's a sunny day.
(The "Him and It" event is coming to an end)
The girl played the piano on a rainy day, and the cat Yuzumi curled up on the piano cover and read a book.
What's it like to be a cat?
Yuzumi Cat didn't care. All he saw were the knowledge points, and all he heard were the sound of Kusaka Haruna's piano and the sound of wind and rain outside the window.
The lighting is soft, just like the girl's current expression.
When he was tired of studying, he would lie down and take a rest.
Suddenly I thought, if someone thinks dinosaurs are cute, will he turn into a dinosaur directly?
Will he be killed?
Wait, is a milk dragon an animal?
If someone thinks dragons are cute, he would really like to experience the feeling of flying freely in the sky.
Hang gliding doesn't count, it's not free enough.
The rain outside the window hits the glass like a misplaced puzzle, distorting the view outside the window.
This environment is really peaceful.
While he was studying, a beautiful girl played the piano for him. On rainy days, the heavy rain could only howl outside the house.
Like light tea, it may not seem amazing at first, but you will become more and more immersed in it.
He seemed like a truly carefree cat now, his tail wagging intermittently. Reading? What book?
Just enjoy it.
There will never be such an opportunity again.
Perhaps only when you take off one identity and put on another one can you truly experience something.
From different perspectives, the state of mind is different.
Just like a teenager in adolescence and a middle-aged person at work.
Like free seagulls and fish being fed underwater.
[Event - He and it, the host and it resonate. Event completed, guaranteed 2000 evolution points, additional 1000 evolution points, cat owner]
???
Wait a moment.
[Host obtains special physique - Cat Master]
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Yuzumi Cat was a little confused.
[Cat Owner: Nine lives, stronger cushioning, stronger jumping, stronger physique, stronger body control, faster reaction, stronger dynamic vision, stronger hearing, more sensitive, more flexible, night vision...]
Cat Yuzumi blinked.
This... pile of buffs dazzled him.
After carefully looking at these abilities, Yuzumi Yu finally realized that cats are so powerful?
This is simply a hexagonal warrior.
It turns out that the ultimate mystery of the "he and it" event is that he needs to become it, resonate with it, and then he can acquire its characteristics and its power.
If he resonated with the spider, wouldn't that mean...
But - without knowing anything, who would actively resonate with an animal?
[Evolution: 3200]
Relief funds for the incident were also distributed.
[The host will end the event status in one day]
It was unexpected, very unexpected, as if you were walking on the street and suddenly a rich man ran up to you and said he would give you 100 million.
The sudden surprise left the young man speechless.
He hadn't been able to see the Torii warrior's movements clearly before, but now, it seemed he could see them clearly - he would try it tonight.
Moreover, cat owners can make it walk more quietly, sneak into other people's homes more easily, and even have night vision in the dark - try it tonight.
He still has 9 lives - there's no need to try this.
[Name: Hazumi Yu]
Age: 18
[Gender: Male]
[Evolution: 3200]
[Emotion: 1356 (Hashimoto Minako, Gono Kyoko, Ikema Maki, Kusaka Haruna)]
[Germany: C]
[Intelligence: B (Thinking)]
[Body: A (9th Life Cat Owner: 9)]
[US: S]
[Wu:MAX]
[Ability (General): None]
[Ability (Special): Finger Gun Level 1, Grandpa Level 1]
Bring up the panel.
How should I put it? I just wanted to relax and touch the fish. I didn't expect that I could resonate with the cat and win a prize by touching the fish.
Even his physique was directly raised to A-level thanks to the cat owner. Perhaps he was originally at the peak of B-level, and the cat owner just helped him break through that barrier.
Yuzumi Cat thought carefully.
Rainy days, beautiful girls, piano music, and comfortable environment are all essential.
If one of them is missing, he won't feel so comfortable that he wants to lie down.
He suddenly stood up, his glass-blue eyes looking at the girl playing the piano, his cute cat face solemnly said: "Kusaka-san, I like you so much."
Kusaka Haruna raised her eyes to look at him, but she said nothing about Yuzumi Cat's sudden tantrum, but just kept looking back at him with her fingers, following the rhythm of the music, as if she was immersed in her own piano music.
Maybe she didn't want to be distracted when she was playing the piano.
She is really serious.
——Hazumi Cat's opinion.
In his mind, the two lines of lyrics from the song "Sunny Day" came to mind.
[I've been working hard all along.]
Why don't you take a break here?
He looked at the girl.
There seemed to be a kind of magic around the girl. The quiet air of books could bring peace to the heart, just like that rainy day when she stood in the bookstore and looked at him - that was the smile of God.
You really helped me a lot, Kusaka-san.
Accompanied by thunder, the rain continued to fall, washing the entire Tokyo with all its might, as if it wanted to wash away all the debris without leaving any trace.
Yuzumi Cat crouched down and continued to enjoy the peace.
When the girl finished her piano practice, Yuzumi Cat also fell asleep. He was not woken up until 2:30 in the afternoon by the girl.
Maybe he was too tired during this period - he went out in the middle of the night and came home late at night, he studied hard even when he went to school, and he even studied when he was not at school.
It was a very comfortable sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he saw blue pupils like a sunny day, his body was soft, and a pleasant faint fragrance lingered around his nose. He raised his head and saw Kusaka Haruna looking at him with a gentle smile.
He subconsciously raised his paw and rubbed his eyes: "Kusaka-san, what time is it?"
"It's half past two in the afternoon."
What time is it?
Yuzumi Cat woke up instantly.
He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. The sky outside had cleared up. Although it was still raining, it was no longer dark.
"Have I slept for so long..."
Coming to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Um, Kusaka-san, I'm so sorry." He should have been accompanying the other person, but he fell asleep.
"It's okay." The girl picked him up, and he realized that he had been lying on her legs.
The blanket wrapped around him and he changed back, and Kusaka Haruna got up and left the living room.
"There's a hot lunch on the dining table. The elevator is stuck at the entrance. You can return it to me when you get to school. You should bring your raincoat. I'm going to rest. You don't need to tell me when you leave." The girl said and walked towards the room.
On the sofa, the boy was wrapped in a blanket, staring at the other person's back in a long skirt, stunned.
"Thank you," he said.
The room door is closed.
He fished out his cell phone from his trouser pocket on the sofa and turned on the screen.
2:32 pm.
There is still some time before work starts.
Fortunately, I was woken up early.
He wrapped himself in a blanket and went to close the curtains, then quickly got dressed and came to the dining table, where there were some very simple dishes.
It looks like Kusaka-san made it himself.
He didn't hesitate. After eating and washing the dishes, he sent a message to Kusaka Haruna on his mobile phone and prepared to leave.
You don't need to take the elevator card with you!
He opened the door, swiped the elevator card first, ran back to return the card, closed the door, and got into the elevator.
You can actually take the stairs to the third floor.
In fact, you can just jump down, and it can also test the cat owner's buffering ability.
The elevator card is really useless.
When he walked out of the apartment, it was still drizzling outside. Fortunately, he had a raincoat in his bag - a raincoat is a must when going out in weather like this.
How should I put it about what happened today? He still felt a little ashamed. He promised the other party and did it, but he didn't do it well in the middle and something unexpected happened.
According to Kusaka Haruna, he is not planning to come over tomorrow.
She just wants it once?
That shouldn't be the case.
Yuzumi Yu sent another message to the other party on his mobile phone to ask.
If you don't hurry up, you won't have another chance after tomorrow.
Wearing a raincoat and riding a bicycle, the boy went away in the drizzle.
The sky cleared up after the thunderstorm, and colorful billboards flashed bright lights. As I passed under the overpass, the wheels of the bicycles splashed the water on the road. It was not until a tram passed by on the bridge behind me from a long distance away.
The raindrops hit the boy's face, bringing a cool feeling.
The ending of the incident was unexpected, but that's how it is. There are always surprises in life, but there are not many surprises, and there are not many surprises that can leave a deep impression on people.
(Event - He and It, End)
Still working in a bookstore.
When I got off work at 8pm, the rain had stopped, just in time.
The boy rode his bicycle all the way home.
In the room, Yuzumi Yu, who had just finished taking a shower, was sitting at the table in his pajamas.
The moist night breeze blew in through the open windows, bringing the night temperature.
[Evolution: 3200]
The "He and It" event gave a full 3,000 degrees of evolution, making it worthy of being a special event.
First, point to wisdom.
Memory and imagination, actually it doesn't matter which one you choose first, you will have to finish them sooner or later anyway. For now, memory will be of great help.
After all, there is an exam.
'Light up the memory.'
[Consume 1000 evolution degrees]
Intelligence: B (Thinking, Memory)
Yuzumi Yu opened a book at random, scanned a page at a glance, closed the book and put it aside, played with his mobile phone for five minutes, and then went back to thinking.
The contents of that page are like engravings. I don't usually think about them, but as soon as I think about them, they come to mind clearly.
The brain is like a library. All the content you have read is compiled into books and stored in it, and you can take it out when needed.
Is it true that he has a photographic memory... It's really amazing.
He has an unbeatable memory and understanding, but if he can't get first place in the next exam, he will be a waste.
Todai—easy to get!
'Upgrade, sir.'
[Consume 1000 evolution degrees]
[Evolution: 1200]
[Grandpa Level 1: With your hands in your pockets, activate at will. Within 5 seconds, you can choose an action to slightly enhance it. Cooldown: 1 hour]
[Grandpa Level 1-2]
[Grandpa Level 2: With one or both hands in pockets, activate at will. Within 10 seconds, you can select two consecutive actions for a moderate boost. Cooldown: 1 hour.]
Yuzumi Yuu in comparison.
A level 2 uncle is 1,000 evolutionary degrees more expensive than a level 1 uncle.
There is no qualitative change, even the cooling time is not reduced, it is just a strengthening based on the level 1 uncle.
But compared to 5 seconds, 10 seconds is obviously more sufficient, and it can be strengthened twice. The opening posture can also free one hand, greatly increasing usability!
Where is the level 3 uncle?
Yuzumi Yu felt that it was definitely a qualitative change, otherwise how could it be worthy of the expensive 10,000 evolution degrees!
It's still early, and Tomoya Hanzumi and the others haven't turned off the lights yet, but... he didn't sneak out, he just went to practice martial arts.
He took his sword and went to the backyard. He took out the iron gate that he had asked his father to buy and leaned it against a tree.
Saying it was necessary for martial arts training, Tomoya Hanzumi happily agreed.
"Let me see how strong a Level 2 master is."
Can you cut an iron door with an unsharpened knife?
The young man crouched down, holding a knife in his left hand and his right hand in his pocket, his posture a little strange.
'Open it, sir.'
Yuzumi Yu pressed the hilt of the knife back with his right hand.
Taking a deep breath, the night wind blew, blowing the boy's bangs.
Without any sound, the young man stood up, put the knife at his waist, and swung it twice.
——I couldn't even catch when the knife was drawn. His eyes flashed and he started to put the knife away, as if a part of the scene was missing.
His eyes fell on the slanted iron gate, and he saw an X across the middle of the heavy iron gate, and then four iron plates fell to the ground.
Is it so strong that even the wind can't catch him? Is it so strong that even gravity can't react at all?
Yuzumi Yu looked down at his right hand, and there was no feeling at the base of his thumb.
This means... while the master enhances the power, he also grants the same ability to withstand the power.
Just like when a person smashes a wall with a punch, his hand will be injured, but when Kaiqi uncle smashes it with a punch, his hand will not be hurt at all.
Can it be understood as - invincibility frame?
perhaps.
This is Yuzumi Yu's understanding.
After all, we now use the old man to chop melons and vegetables, and we have never encountered anything that the old man cannot chop.
...Cutting a road through the surface of Tokyo Bay was ultimately just his fantasy.
My uncle is pure physical attack!
Forget about cutting a road across Tokyo Bay, even if you cut it twice with a knife, there wouldn't be a ripple on the water.
An hour later.
He drove away the old man first, then picked up a piece of wood from the ground and threw it into the air, pressing the handle of the paper knife back with his right hand.
"Master, please open it."
'Strengthen the sword-drawing and sword-closing abilities.'
The boy lay there motionless. In less than a second, he stood up and watched the intact wooden board fall from the sky.
Until... it hits the ground and then breaks into two petals.
Check the paper knife in your hand - it's intact.
Is that really the case? Perhaps the real strength of the uncle is not only in strengthening, but also in giving everything the same endurance as his power.
As he was thinking, a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
If you use your authority to spank someone, hit them! Stop!
Who knew it was him!
Just control the strength and distance, and the feeling of a dragonfly skimming the water is enough to make the other person feel hot.
Then use this to take off someone's pants...wait!
This is just a young man's bad taste. Although his morality is only C, he would never do such a thing.
He was lost in thought.
There seem to be three steps to taking off someone's pants, right?
Move forward, pull down, and withdraw.
Will the Level 3 Master gain another enhanced move? Or more than one?
Is it possible to do this - take action, make one or more moves, and then take it back?
Yuzumi Yu suddenly thought of the Macau casino.
Then he began to test the cat owner's abilities.
Fully understand your own abilities and be fully prepared for tonight's battle with the Torii Samurai.
First, he jumped directly from the flat ground in the backyard. It was really high, as if he had blocked the moon. Then he stood steadily on the roof.
Looking down, it's almost ten meters, right?
...So strong.
Then, he started running, running all over the roof, running in circles, jumping, and dancing in random patterns.
Stronger body control, stronger cushioning, under the boy's concentrated control, it was as if he had mastered the art of lightness training. No matter how he moved, his shoes made no sound when they stepped on the roof.
Finally, he jumped down from a height of almost ten meters, and just bent his legs slightly to release the force.
Cat owner, so strong.
This is no longer human, right?
"Is this physique an A? Shouldn't it be MAX?" he asked the system.
[The host's constitution is A. The things mentioned above have nothing to do with constitution, but are the characteristics of the cat owner.]
"Is that how it works... I understand."
Try the night vision feature again.
The boy returned to his room, turned off the lights, and faced the mirror. Under the loose hair that slightly covered his eyebrows, his eyes gradually began to glow with a deep blue night light.
It is not abrupt, but very soft. Not as bright as a light bulb, but it is definitely bright enough that you can notice it just by looking at those eyes in the dark.
It's not glowing, it's just luminous.
He scanned the room, and even in the dark, everything was clear to him.
If the cat owner gave it to someone else, he might become the world's biggest thief, but for Yuzumi Yu, he would only give some insignificant care to strangers at night.
As time goes by.
Realizing that Tomoya Hanzumi and the other man were resting, he locked the door, held his sword, and put one foot on the windowsill.
rope?
What more rope do you need now?
As he jumped, he turned around in the air and gently pulled the window back, then somersaulted and landed smoothly.
Torii warrior, here I come.
Easily jumping over the wall, the young man walked towards Suga Shrine on the night street, holding a sword.
As he approached the Menzaka stairs, he paused.
It's so late, is there anyone here?
The ground was very wet, with deep pools of water in some places.
At the top of the men's slope stairs, a man wearing a black raincoat was sitting on the stairs, his hands wrapped around his legs and his head buried in his hands.
sleep?
Sleeping in a place like this?
Yuzumi Yu walked up the stairs with light steps.
The hood of the raincoat covered the person's head, so the head could not be seen, but one could vaguely feel that it was a woman.
The boy stopped beside the woman and felt a headache. He looked at the Suga Shrine in front of him and then at the sleeping woman.
She must be woken up!
Then send her away.
But... disturbing someone's sleep is offensive, right?
The incident status will not end for another day.
"Bang!"
Yuzumi Yu took the sword and knocked it hard against the railing.
The man reacted, his body trembled, and then he raised his head. His little face with the mark was a little confused, and his eyes were unfocused.
Yuzumi Yu was stunned.
Fair skin, charming peach blossom eyes, and a cold temperament in her bones.
Isn't this senior Ikema? Why is she sleeping here?
It was a cold and damp night, but I wasn't afraid of catching a cold.
Maki Ikema was a little confused. How did she fall asleep? Her vision was blurry as if she had been woken up in the middle of the night. She looked up and looked at the boy nearby.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt, dark trousers, and sneakers. The figure looked familiar.
"Senior Ikema?" the young man spoke in a clear voice.
Maki Ikema rubbed her eyes and finally saw clearly.
It's that junior student.
The underclassman reading pornographic books in the corridor, the underclassman praising her archery skills—if Yuzumi Yuu heard it, he would definitely explain, "That's not a pornographic book! It's a photo of Minami, you bastard!"
Why does she remember it so clearly?
Because Yuzumi Yu's appearance is outstanding enough, the kind that you can recognize at a glance when he stands in front of you even if you just take a quick glance.
Mei S, profound enough.
But what about Mei S? She looked down on all her peers equally.
"Senior, why did you fall asleep here?" the boy asked her, bending over slightly.
Maki Ikema's eyes fell on the katana in the other person's left hand.
She blinked, and the corners of her beautiful peach-shaped eyes were slightly red with the lingering moisture from not waking up yet.
So familiar.
Looks so familiar.
She wanted to stand up, but just when she was halfway up, her legs became numb. The numbness and soreness made her gasp and she couldn't get up.
Yuzumi Yu looked at the other person expressionlessly, thinking that the senior sister would leave after her legs were numb. He said, "Senior sister, it's okay. I'm leaving first. Remember to go home early in the evening."
What it means is - don't hang around here, go somewhere else.
After saying that, he stepped onto the stairs.
The moment the young man's figure missed her, Ikema Maki felt as if she had missed something important. Memory is like a naughty child, who usually teases you, but when you try to catch him, he slips away.
...That knife...My brother also has a knife...very similar.
In the end, the child couldn't run faster than the senior with white legs and was caught.
She suddenly turned around and saw the young man's slender back as he left, holding the scabbard in his left hand and his right hand in his pocket.
"Wait a minute!" She hurriedly stretched out her hand and shouted as she was about to get up and chase after him. Her legs were numb, so numb that she seemed to have no feeling. With a "thump", she fell heavily to the ground in her anxiety and carelessness.
Tears welled up at the corners of my eyes due to the pain.
My hand seems to be broken.
Tears seemed to be out of control, filling my eyes madly and blurring everything.
Some people feel pain, while others feel inexplicable palpitations.
"Wait, wait a minute..." She wiped her tears and stretched out her hand towards the blurry figure.
He looked very miserable as he lay on the ground.
Just like that day, she lay on the lawn looking for the bullet left by her brother.
The boy turned around following the sound.
The soft yellow light of the Menzaka stairs was behind the girl. She was facing the light, so her face was a little dim, but it was still clear to see her tearful face.
My nose is still running.
He looked back and saw that they were the only two people there.
"What's wrong, senior sister?" He walked over, but it was not good to look down at her, so he squatted down again.
Ikema-senpai just stared at him blankly.
There was a moment of silence.
Hazumi Yu: "..."
He glanced back again.
No, are they really the only two people here?
After a while, although he didn't understand the situation clearly, he was sure that the senior sister couldn't get up by herself, so she could only lie on the ground and look at him.
How can you be so rude!
Have someone lie prone on the ground and watch you.
He stretched out his hand, and the soft yellowish light of Suga Shrine shone on the boy's handsome face and on his open palm.
There was no emotion in his eyes, but his voice was soft.
"Senior, do you need help?"
Do you need help?
At this moment, everything is silent.
Only the boy's sunny and pleasant voice was particularly clear.
The moisture on the ground was fading away, the lights were fading away, the whole world was stretched infinitely, and in the blank sky and earth, it seemed as if there were only two people left.
One of them squatted and stretched out his hand.
One was lying down with his head raised.
A young man.
A young girl.
Memories came flooding back like a tide.
Ten years ago? Ten years later?
Suga Shrine, on the stairs of Otokozaka.
But at that time, the boy was against the light, and now, she is against the light.
elder brother...
The girl could no longer control her expression, her brain went numb, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and they fell to the ground faster and faster.
The world had long been blurred, and the lights cast shadows in the field of vision, like drops of pale yellow paint falling into clear water, instantly blurring out. Only the figure and face in the heart became clearer and clearer.
Yuzumi Yu was stunned.
He didn't understand why the senior sister suddenly lost control of her expression. Her originally proud and cold expression had turned into this -
There was an indescribable meaning in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip so hard that it even bled. She stared at him without blinking, like an extremely aggrieved girl.
It was as if he had let her down.
Bullshit.
The two had only met a few times.
Yuzumi Yu withdrew his hand expressionlessly and said, "If you don't want to get up, then don't get up."
The look in the senior sister's eyes made him feel a little nervous. What was going on?
His intention to hit on the senior was discovered?
——It's about emotional value.
Speaking of emotional values.
Now it is necessary to open the prompt.
[Ikema Maki——666]
[Ikema Maki——666]
[Ikema Maki——666]
...
[Emotion: 3867 (Hashimoto Minako, Gono Kyoko, Ikema Maki, Kusaka Haruna)]
Hazumi Yu: "..."
Get rich, no, something went wrong.
Such huge mood swings...
The boy was silent.
After a while.
"System, you are really unreliable."
[...]
[The system cannot tamper with other people's memories]
"Time can't make everything right?"
[The obsession is too strong, even time can't do anything about it]
Obsession?
Speaking of obsession...Yuzumi Yu subconsciously tightened his grip on the scabbard.
I made some extra money again.
"Senior, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." The boy bowed his head to apologize, stood up and left.
Maki Ikema lay on the ground, watching the other person's back as he left - it was very blurry, her pink and white fists were clenched, and she wanted to shout "Brother" so much.
But... she was not sure whether her brother had not traveled through time or had already traveled back through time.
Her mother told her a lot, including that her brother came from the future.
What she believed, and what she subconsciously thought deep in her heart, was that her brother had not yet traveled through time.
Otherwise, why don't you come to see her?
Apartment, manor, even just to see her.
In her heart, her brother is a very important person.
Today is very happy, but also very sad.
Because he got the cat owner, but was caught by the little girl from ten years ago.
Surprise and shock.
Why don't you want to admit it?
The reason is very simple, because if the other party catches his true identity, there will be one more person who knows his secret.
Before it was Kusaka Haruna, now it is Ikema Maki.
Things that should have stayed in the past should have stayed in the past.
This is Yuzumi Yu's idea.
But now...how should he treat Ikema Maki?
Still treating her as a tool to increase your emotional value? No more.
But he really didn't want to have another sister. Minako was enough. Otherwise, if one day another girl called him brother, wouldn't Minako kill him?
She was so excited when there were multiple sisters-in-law who didn't fight for seats, but she couldn't imagine how it would be when there were multiple sisters who fought for seats.
But then again… having one more senior is fine.
What else can I do?
Do this——
You ask who I am? I am Yuzumi Yu.
You ask me what I did? I was in school.
You ask me why I'm so strong? I'm not strong at all. I'm just a private school student. Don't talk nonsense.
that's all.
[Germany: C]
"System, shut up."
While thinking about things, he had already arrived in front of the torii gate of Suga Shrine.
Still the same place.
After waiting for a while, he jumped up, about ten meters, not very high, but he could see if there was anyone around.
The azure eyes scanned around, and then the boy landed steadily, the night light in his pupils fading.
Last time it was just a test, but this time it's a war.
Torii warrior vs. WuMAX cat owner.
'True eyes! '
Under the moonlight, the cold blade reflected the young man's handsome eyes and eyebrows.
"clang!"
The blades crossed, Yuzumi You blocked the opponent's heavy blow, and his steps were "da da da", and he stopped after about five or six steps.
What a strong force.
The tiger's mouth was numb from the shock.
Another warrior came up to his side and chopped him hard again!
A very simple move.
The young man adjusted the angle slightly and blocked the attacks of the two spirits with one knife. This time he retreated quickly, all the way to the platform under the stairs, about ten steps.
His hands were shaking, and the two warriors pressed on like this, as if they had no intelligence and could only do simple slashing.
The scarlet blade was slowly approaching the boy's face.
The two spirits are very powerful, even the A-level cat master Yuzumi Yuu can't withstand them.
"Is that all it can do..." The boy felt the force transmitted to his arm through the blade.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about that."
As he thought about it, he moved like a ghost and instantly broke away, missing the two spirits and leaving wounds about one centimeter deep on their bodies.
It was almost impossible to break through the defense.
As expected, a knife without a blade is not easy to use.
Dodging, fighting back, dodging, maneuvering, there was always only one knife scar on the necks of the two spirits, but that scar became deeper and deeper, until... the necks were cut open by a knife.
Yuzumi Yu leaped in the air, his agile and slender figure seemed to block the moon. The boy did a somersault and landed steadily. The two warriors had lost their color and turned into grainy dust.
Is this the cat owner?
Superb perception, control, motion capture, jumping...all-powerful, so all-powerful.
The numerical crush is no longer obvious.
But there are still some, because humans are humans after all, how can they compare with the tireless spirit?
He could hold on, but he couldn't hold on for a few more seconds.
But humans have a good thing - adrenaline, which can burst out power beyond usual.
Putting the katana at his waist, Yuzumi Yu took out the eye drops.
[Evolution: 1200-2400]
1200, a Torii warrior has 600 evolution degrees.
It seems like a small amount, but it is actually a lot. The guy in the martial arts gym only gave 300 before, but here it is doubled.
Don't be carried away by temporary wealth. The special event that can give 3000 evolution degrees is only temporary after all. Saving hundreds or hundreds of them at a time should be the daily routine!
What's more, sometimes you can't even find a hundred.
You must have the mindset to cope with getting rich, and you must also have the mindset to cope with poverty.
Yuzumi Yu has become accustomed to returning home empty-handed every day.
When his eyes were no longer sore, he looked at the shrine behind the torii gate and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
I have 9 lives, so what am I afraid of?
'True eyes! '
The world is clear.
He climbed up the stairs, and when he approached the torii gate, countless black air suddenly condensed in front of him, like a barrier wall. If he passed through the torii gate, he would pass through the barrier.
The black air was rolling, and Yuzumi Yu could see inside the shrine through the black air, but... there was nothing there. Perhaps he had to go through it.
Without hesitation, he lifted his leg and passed through the torii gate.
Nothing changed, only the fog disappeared.
After walking a few more steps forward, wisps of golden light began to condense in the square in front.
Transformation?
Not given.
Yuzumi Yu attacked directly, but when he got close to the gradually condensing golden light, he found that no matter how he swung his sword, he could not cause any damage, so he retreated back to the torii gate.
Are there any invincibility frames?
He is a warrior in golden armor.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the shrine square under the pale yellow light, the golden light radiating from his body is like the sun in the dark night.
Yuzumi Yuu had a blank expression on his face.
Finally met a spirit that looked like a decent person.
Come on, let me see how good you are.
He had his left hand in his pocket and held a knife in his right hand, with the tip of the knife pointing diagonally at the ground. The scabbard was hung on the left waistband of his pants.
Using the strength of a mortal to fight this guy who looks like a god...it really makes my blood boil.
The golden-armored warrior opened his eyes, holy, majestic, and godlike.
It drew its sword and teleported in front of the boy. Yuzumi Yu's pupils shrank. This guy...
Can teleport!
Without thinking too much, the old man opened his mouth and raised his knife to face the other person.
"Bang!"
A crisp cracking sound.
Time seemed to slow down, and the boy's pupils reflected the fragments of the silver-white blade, like broken glass all over the sky, and under the shining golden light, they could even emit a holy luster.
"Bang!"
The ground caved in, stirring up dust, and like a catapult, the boy's figure flew backwards towards the torii gate behind him.
As he stepped back, he raised his hand, which had been in his pocket, and pointed it at the golden-armored warrior not far away.
'Bang.'
The air bullet arrived instantly and pierced the head of the golden-armored warrior.
It seems that special abilities can cause harm to spirits, but why doesn't the other party react at all?
Is this limited lethality...is this really lethal?
After exiting the torii gate, the scene in the shrine suddenly disappeared. Yuzumi Yu looked over and even the pit left by him using 'Grandpa' to strengthen 'Ejection Backward' was gone.
He lowered his head and looked at the broken and cracked sword in his hand.
Can the old man be chopped off even after being strengthened... Countless fragments suddenly appeared out of thin air at the torii, flew over and stuck to the broken sword.
In less than a second, the blade was as smooth as new.
It's not surprising, if the sword can be damaged so easily, the system is useless.
[The blade is not strong enough, please upgrade to a katana]
He just knew it.
This ordinary unsharpened katana looks like a semi-finished product no matter how you look at it, as if it was put on sale before it was finished, and it was sold for 100,000 yen.
'How many degrees of evolution?'
[10000 Evolution Degree]
How many?
10000?
Yuzumi Yu bought a bottle of soda from the vending machine next to the torii gate of the shrine. When he took the soda, he found that the base of his right hand was cracked and bleeding.
It's just an injury. I've been used to it since I was a child. It's inevitable to get injured when practicing martial arts.
He took out the medicine he carried with him, applied it, and wrapped it with gauze. Then he drank soda and returned the same way.
A 10,000-yuan katana is a qualitative change, but he is too tight on money. Take it slow, why rush? Three years of private school are still a long time, and so is the University of Tokyo. Sometimes, if you focus too much on the goal, you won't see the scenery along the way.
The scenery and the destination are equally important.
There's still so much to do: pay back the debt, join a club, get first place, go to Rina's concert, go to the fireworks display, go on a school trip, go to the cherry blossom festival, go to Hokkaido in winter...
He thought that he seemed to need to rest for a while to heal his injuries.
I'll reopen the event in two days.
But why does that guy have teleportation? He doesn't even have it... How enviable.
Date with Kyoko Gono on Sunday?
No, I was harassed by Kyoko Gono so much that I came out with her to find something interesting to do.
If he doesn't go now, he's afraid she'll open an account for him.
In May, the temperature has gradually risen and it is no longer as cool as before, but because of the thunderstorm yesterday, the weather and temperature are still pretty good today.
It's just that the humidity in the air is a bit uncomfortable. If it gets any hotter, it will be stuffy.
Yotsuya Station.
The sky is bright.
At the station entrance, the streets were clean and Yuzumi Yu saw Kyoko Gono who was waiting.
He walked over with his hands in his pockets, his expression calm.
Wuye will pay for all the expenses today!
The girl was wearing a mid-length khaki trench coat with a white lining, black shorts, light black stockings, and black knee-high high-heeled boots.
That elegant little face has delicate features without any flaws. All the girls in Mihong love to wear makeup, and Kyoko Gono is no exception. You can tell from the fact that she can casually take out a lipstick and say she wants to stamp it for her good friend.
Light makeup, lipstick, and light pink eyeshadow, that's enough, it's beautiful enough.
Is this a girl?
The elegant lady is here.
Yuzumi Yuu felt like leaving.
He was dressed so casually, a white T-shirt, dark trousers, and sneakers.
Kyoko Gono put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, a black bag slung over her shoulder, and her long straight black hair swung behind her as she strode towards the young man.
The girl is already very tall, and wearing high-heeled boots, not only does her legs look longer, but she also looks taller. She looks almost the same as Yuzumi Yu.
"Let's go." said Sister Wu Ye.
"Where are you going?"
"Isn't it time you took me to find something interesting to do?" The elegant lady put her hands in her pockets and looked at him expressionlessly.
"...You said to meet here, I thought you had somewhere to go."
"No, it's just that my house is nearby."
Yuzumi Yu suddenly thought of another person, Chiyoda, whose home was also nearby, next to Yotsuya Station.
Glancing at the station, the boy suggested, "Shibuya?"
"No."
"Akihabara?"
"Not going either."
"Ginza."
"Are these the only places you know?" The royal sister began to feel dissatisfied.
"..." He is just a good student who loves to study. Shouldn't you ask Tateno Kanata about this matter?
Looking up at the azure sky, the boy said calmly, "Let's go to Kabukicho."
It happens to be in Shinjuku area.
"Why are you going over there?" The girl looked at him with indifferent eyes.
"Aren't you paying the bill today?"
"Going there in broad daylight?"
What if I go with you at night?
There are more than just those over there, even though they are the most famous.
Yuzumi Yu turned his head and saw the girl also looking at him. The light pink eyeshadow added a touch of charming peach color to her elegant face.
She thought he was funny, but he wasn't funny at all, he just loved the Prime Minister.
If it were him, he would definitely be able to dodge that shot.
Just kidding.
Let's start an event. What if it's interesting enough?
Just as I was about to come to terms with it, I heard Wuye's unique and pleasant voice again: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Yuzumi Yu lowered his head and raised his right hand wrapped in white gauze. The girl moved her eyes away from his hand and looked up at him.
"It doesn't matter," he said.
"So, where are we going?"
"Are you still asking me?"
"What else?"
"I said going to Shibuya," said the boy.
"I said no."
The two of them were like two idiots, standing in front of Yotsuya Station, talking about finding something interesting but unable to decide on anything for a long time.
"Gono-san, you're not interesting at all." The boy said expressionlessly.
"I'm interesting, why would I look for you?" The girl crossed her arms and looked at him.
"Watch the ants move." Yuzumi Yu took out his trump card.
"boring."
"..." He shouldn't have agreed to the other party, he should have blocked the other party directly.
What fun things are there in Tokyo? There are many fun things, such as Kabukicho Street...but the other party requires it to be interesting.
There are many beautiful places, but what the other party requires is fun.
"…"
The two stood there for a while.
It seemed as if I could hear crows cawing overhead.
Although I don't know where to go or what to do, I don't feel embarrassed standing here, I just feel a little speechless.
"Just take a walk." The boy put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.
Gono Kyoko followed him: "Where are you going?"
"have no idea."
"Then why are you leaving?"
"Maybe something will come to mind while we're walking. Before that, let's buy a can of soda."
Drinking soda, the two walked aimlessly on the street.
"I should be studying during this period of time." The boy said expressionlessly.
"I should be sleeping at this time." Kyoko Gono also had a blank expression.
"You brought it up, didn't you?"
"Didn't you agree?"
"I shouldn't have agreed to that," the boy said.
"I want to kick you." said the girl.
"Trouble a little more."
Kyoko Gono raised her foot and kicked the boy, but fortunately the cat owner dodged it.
"If you walk from Yotsuya to Tokyo Bay, do you think you will be bored?" Yuzumi Yu suddenly said.
The girl stopped and bent her graceful legs backward, revealing the high heels of her high heels.
She had a blank expression on her face.
The boy looked down and imitated the other person, but the other person hooked his feet backwards, while he lifted them in front, revealing the flat soles of his running shoes.
The girl lowered her eyes and glanced.
"You're provoking me."
"I mean, nobody wears high heels when they go out."
"I can wear whatever I want."
This is very Kyoko Gono.
The sky is like a blue lake, reflecting the prosperity of Tokyo.
The two walked down the street. The boy looked ahead with a blank expression and suddenly said, "Kyoko, have you noticed that our steps are very consistent?"
Is there?
No, he was the one who followed the other person's pace. With Gono's personality, how could she possibly be like him? She walked the way she wanted.
The girl really lowered her head and looked at the boy's steps. The two of them were surprisingly in sync.
It's a wonderful feeling.
But the boy's pace seemed to have quickened, which made her unconsciously speed up as she watched his pace.
The two remained consistent.
Slow down, slow down, speed up, speed up, it's interesting.
——From the perspective of the Fifth Field Army.
The street was clean, the sky was clear, and a slightly old telephone pole hung with a sign that said speed limit 30. There was no sidewalk on this section of road, only low houses on both sides and white lines painted on the ground next to the houses.
Passing by the red-painted mailbox, the boy suddenly switched his left foot to his right foot. The girl who was staring at him and finding him amused subconsciously followed suit, and the result was... a stumble.
The girl raised her head with her long hair flying down on the side of her face. The boy was looking at her with his hands in his pockets not far away.
"Hazumi Yuu!"
"What's up?"
Kyoko Gono chased after him.
The boy ran away.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"Did I ask you to imitate me?"
"Then why are you running!"
"I can run however I want." This answer is very Kyoko Gono, but it's a pity that it was said by a teenager.
Along the street, the boy walked backwards with his hands in his pockets, the strands of hair on his eyebrows jumping up and down. The cat owner's super strong sense made it seem like he had eyes behind him even when he was running backwards.
Kyoko is chasing me from the front, stepping on her high heels, tap-ta-ta.
At one point, the boy stopped and looked at the breathless girl. He walked over and asked, "Is it fun?"
This guy really chased him and chased him all the way down the street.
Kyoko Gono was bent over, supporting her knees, her long black hair falling on her cheeks, and her khaki windbreaker was disheveled.
"It's so boring!" This is what the girl said, and then she said tiredly, "Help me take down my bag."
As she spoke, she handed over the bag that looked very high-end and was slung over her shoulder.
Yuzumi Yu stepped forward to take it, but the girl pulled the bag the moment the boy took it, raised her leg and kicked him in the knee, then ran away quickly.
It doesn't hurt, it feels a bit good, but not very good either...
"Ha!" The khaki windbreaker swayed, and the pair of graceful black silk long legs ran with big strides. Kyoko Gono suddenly turned around -
"That's fun!" she exclaimed.
The beautiful long hair swung in the air, and under the blue sky, the smile was very bright.
"Boring." The boy said expressionlessly.
Childish - what's in my heart.
[Emotion: 4001 (Minako Hashimoto, Kyoko Gono, Maki Ikema, Haruna Kusaka)]
The boy stopped at the side of Yuzumi Yu's house wall and said, "I'm going to get something. Wait here for me."
"Why can't I go in?" The girl's focus was very clear.
"Because I did it secretly too." As he said that, Yuzumi Yu climbed up the wall and flipped down.
After a while, the boy came back with a big bag in his hand.
"What is this?" Kyoko Gono's eyes were attracted by the long bag.
"Interesting stuff," he said.
The two ran towards a river.
Behind a row of houses, there was a wall taller than a person. Yuzumi Yu put his bag on it and then climbed up. The girl below was hugging her chest and looking up at him with her little face.
Expressionless.
"Can I come up?" the boy asked.
"What do you think?"
"Try."
Kyoko Gono started to take off her boots expressionlessly. Yuzumi Yu thought that she was going to climb over the wall, but after taking them off, she smashed them down hard.
He grabbed the flying high-heeled boots and looked down. One of Wu Ye Yujie's legs was bare. Her leg, covered with thin black stockings, was straight, her toes lightly on the ground, and the curve of her foot arch was very attractive.
It's delicious food—Li Ye's thoughts.
Very nice-looking - serious praise - Yuzumi thought.
"Throw the other one up too." He looked righteous.
Don't get me wrong, this just allows the other party to get over the wall easily.
After a while, another boot flew over and the boy caught it and put it on the top of the wall.
Then, he pulled her hand, and Gono Kyoko struggled to climb up. She gritted her teeth, and her clothes were stained by the dust on the wall: "If it's not fun, you're dead!"
Who would go out to play and bring girls over the wall?
"It's guaranteed to be fun." Yuzumi Yu was very confident.
A few minutes later, the girl watched the boy assembling a fishing rod. Two portable benches were placed on this side of the wall. A river flowed slowly by, and they stood on a fairly wide platform.
"What's so interesting about this?" Kyoko Gono crossed her arms.
The boy threw a bag of commercial ingredients over and took out a small plastic basin from the bag: "Please open the ingredients."
Who knew the girl didn't catch it at all, or was she too late to react? The bait hit her lower abdomen and fell at her feet.
Yuzumi You was stunned and quickly took a look at the system.
No countdown.
'explain.'
[Before the status ends, only effective for Kusaka Haruna]
'learn.'
It was just a subconscious action. In the past, when he went out fishing, he would follow Li Ye and Gu Jing, and they would throw things around.
Kyoko Gono hugged her chest, her head still, her eyes murderous.
The girl had put her boots back on. Yuzumi Yu put down her fishing rod, walked over, picked up the merchandise from under her feet, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, but if you're angry, I won't play with you next time."
The girl glared and pouted instantly, took the product material, squatted down, and her khaki windbreaker fell to the ground.
"Isn't it dirty?" Yuzumi Yu brought the small basin over.
"I'm already dirty after climbing over the wall."
Too.
"How much?" The girl hesitated, holding the bag.
"A little less."
"so?"
"That's too little."
"so?"
"...Just pour it out."
"How would I know how much to pour?"
This guy has such a bad temper... Yuzumi Yu said seriously: "This is just right." Then he took the empty bag of product materials from the other party.
Separate some bait, add some water and ask Wuye to stir it, and finally set it aside.
The bait needs to be prepared in advance because it takes time to wake up the silk.
The girl was washing her hands beside the river, and Yuzumi Yu was connecting the fishing line. The platform was very close to the water and she could reach it by squatting down.
Why not go fishing in Tokyo Bay?
There are more fishermen than fish in Tokyo Bay on weekends...
After finishing everything, the two sat on a small folding stool. In fact, Yuzumi Yu didn't know much about fishing. It was Gu Jing who took them to play with it.
This fishing gear belongs to Tomoya Hanzumi...
Place the fishing rod on the rack.
Time flies.
The wind by the river was moist and carried the smell of river water. The girl spread her legs apart, turned her legs inward and put them together, rested her elbows on her legs, supported her cheeks, looked at the float, and after a while looked at the boy again.
The boy put away his fishing rod, put the bait back on, and cast again.
She had seen this move many times.
"Is there anything special about it?" the girl was puzzled.
"It's very particular." The young man said calmly, "It's all about learning. It's very interesting to see."
"What's so particular?"
"This is very particular. It's a habit of masters. Learn it well."
"What good is this?"
"It's very useful. It depends on how you look at it. If you say it's useful, then it is indeed useful. If you say it's useless, then you haven't discovered its usefulness yet. Learn it well..."
"Yuzumi Yu!" The girl came to her senses.
"Don't make any noise, the fish is going to run away."
"There are no fish at all!"
"If you disturb it, it will definitely disappear."
"I want to duel with you!"
The sky was bright, with white clouds floating in the air. The houses in this area were quite old, and the river flowed slowly. Two people sat on stools, with Gono Kyoko sometimes holding the pole, and sometimes the young man holding the pole.
Every time the fish floated down, the girl excitedly pulled the rod, and then... no fish.
"I'm anxious." Comments and suggestions from professional reviewers.
The girl glanced back at him.
I learned my lesson and waited until later before putting away my rod, but...still no fish.
"Too slow." Still professional.
The girl glanced back at him.
When Yuzumi Yu went fishing, Gono Yujie stood by and watched him, with her long legs in boots, her chest hugged, and an expressionless face.
Later.
"I'm anxious." The royal sister said lightly.
The boy turned around and looked at her.
The white clouds in the sky float from one end to the other.
The royal sister said again: "It's too slow."
"…"
Yuzumi Yu finally understood why it was so rude to comment on someone.
Because it's really offensive.
It was not until 3 o'clock in the afternoon that the two returned after feeding the fish for a day.
Gao Yajingzi put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, and walked with the wind. She said lightly: "So you don't know how to fish."
The boy held the fishing tackle bag in one hand and put the other in his pocket, his face expressionless: "I never said I could fish."
"Then you still take me with you."
"Because it's the best way to pass the time." Truthfully.
"It's okay, quite interesting."
"Because I'm the one fishing from behind, and you're messing around, isn't that boring?" The boy said indifferently, with no expression.
People who do bad things always find it interesting.
"Haha..." The girl, who was exposed, laughed without any sense of shame.
At the intersection, the two parted ways. A woman came to Kyoko Gono and handed her something. The boy looked at it and saw it was ointment.
"Here." Sister Wuye took the ointment and handed it to the boy. "This is not available on the market, but it works very well."
"Is this a three-no product?" Yu Zuiyou took the ointment that had been passed on three times.
"What three-no product! It's mine!"
"Thank you." Since it belongs to Wu Ye classmate's family, it must be very useful. After all, Principal Qian Yuzuru is her family.
"Leave."
"Um."
The boy walked home along the street, examining the ointment without any description...it looked very expensive.
Is it because it is very useful that it is not available on the market, or is it because it is not available on the market that it is very useful?
After putting away the ointment, he bought a can of soda and drank it as he walked.
Continue to work in the afternoon.
Tomorrow...the sports festival will begin.
3000m long distance run.
——Not worth mentioning.
table tennis.
——Strengths.
100m sprint.
——Grandpa starts?
The 4x100 relay, tug-of-war...are not worth mentioning.
There are no classes during the sports festival.
The benches in the classroom have disappeared - they have been moved to the playground and placed in the classrooms of each class.
Before the meeting started, Yuzumi Yu was wearing a red sports uniform and black sports shorts that reached above his knees. He sat on the floor in the last row, leaning against the wall, memorizing words with headphones on.
Why memorize words? Just look at the words.
Because he can remember it after just one look.
Parents can apply to come to the school for the sports festival, but it is obvious that Tomoya Hanzumi and his friend will not apply.
Most of the people in the class were wearing red sports uniforms, all T-shirts and shorts.
Tateno Kouta was lying on the ground beside him - the classroom floor was clean and there was no problem at all - he was lying on his back and looking at his phone.
"Cheerleader!" She's going crazy.
"Please keep your voice down."
The music sounded youthful and lively, full of joy.
All the desks in the middle of the classroom were moved away, and lined up at the back and on both sides, classmates wearing miniskirts were dancing to the music, doing the final rehearsal for the entrance performance.
The center of gravity shifted to the left, the right foot touched the ground, the hips shook with the rhythm, the short skirt fluttered, and the long legs were dazzling.
The handsome boy concentrated on looking at the words, and the short-haired boy sat up, swaying his head and body to the rhythm, watching the youthful dance.
It's really cheerful.
When the girls finished dancing, there was warm applause and cheers all around.
"That's amazing!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"The girls danced so well!"
The girls bowed in thanks.
Li Ye turned his head and looked at the boy who had been silently looking at his phone. He said solemnly, "Go for it, 3000 meters!"
In his opinion, running 3,000 meters was no longer a torture; it was simply a way to get to the infirmary.
Without taking his eyes off his phone, the handsome young man said calmly, "I am the strongest."
It's very childish, just like that ninja suit.
Tateno Kanata turned back, but then turned back again as if thinking of something: "Haze."
He looked worried: "The last person who said that was already..."
"Please don't disturb me while I'm memorizing words." Yuzumi Yu interrupted the other party.
It's better not to say anything unlucky.
Kyoko Gono was sitting on the boy's desk playing with her cell phone, her legs wrapped in stockings shaking.
Yuzumi Yu no longer wants to say things like "Please don't fart on my desk."
This will disturb him from memorizing words.
By the way, does a beautiful girl's butt really have a smell...pleasure, pleasure.
I have memorized this.
sacred, holy.
sacred...
Sports festival, opening ceremony.
Most of the schools in Mihong have sandy playgrounds, which is especially common in old schools. However, Qianyuhe is not like that. Qianyuhe has lawns and plastic running tracks.
Each class enters and performs.
Most of the events are group-based and fun, such as relay races, tug-of-war, multi-legged races, horse races, and piggyback races.
To put it simply, it's just one word – play.
The competitiveness is not that strong.
Just like grades, students should not pay too much attention to the results, but instead pay attention to the process, so as to enhance group cohesion.
The result is only an incentive, and the process is everyone's experience and growth.
Yuzumi Yu couldn't use cheats to get first place, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to. He didn't want to deprive everyone of their hard work, the honor they deserved, and the things they deserved by using cheats like this.
So he just stayed himself.
Run as much as you can according to your original physical fitness.
The results are different.
Although he has some talent, talent alone still requires hard work. His level of hard work has surpassed many others, so he deserves the first place.
"Kusaka-san, please let me feel some pressure."
At noon, everyone returned to the classroom to eat.
silence.
silence...
Tateno Kanata was silent.
Furui Taku was silent, feeling like ants were crawling on his body.
Yuzumi Yu was concentrating on eating.
Both of them were unusually quiet today, and even the sunny boy didn't use his usual habit of stealing.
In the back row of the classroom, two tables are put together.
Kyoko Gono sat in her original position, Yuu Hazumi sat next to her, Tateno sat next to Hazumi, and Taku Furui sat in Yuu Hazumi's original position.
Yuzumi Yu naturally wouldn't make this request, it was the elegant girl who said it.
No one spoke, just finished their meal.
"I'm going to the baseball club for training." Taku Furui stood up and bowed slightly.
"I'm going to rest." Tateno also stood up and bowed.
After the two left, Yuzumi You picked up the beef and said calmly, "They don't dare to speak when you're like this."
Gono Kyoko withdrew her gaze from the two men's departing figures, expressionless: "They seem to be very afraid of me."
The boy was speechless.
He thought about how a few days ago, when they were on the balcony, he told two people about Kyoko Gono's bad deeds.
"Because your boss is embarrassed." He put the beef into his mouth without blushing or beating his heart.
"Should I still laugh?" The girl glanced over.
"…No need."
"It can't be solved!" The girl slammed the table.
The lunch box on the table shook.
Yuzumi Yu raised his head and looked at the other person.
Wu Ye is wearing a school uniform at school. Under the red bow at the collar is a round package. Her small face is not made up, but it is still delicate like an elegant work of art...
Wuye's facial features are the best looking.
Every part of her face is impeccable.
It's just a bit childish and neurotic.
Just like the slamming of the table just now.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to take care of those two people!"
?
"Wait a minute!" Yuzumi Yu quickly grabbed the other person because the other person had already stood up.
"What are you doing?" he asked, pulling Kyoko Gono back to her seat.
"Give them some money and ask them to leave this school."
"...Please don't do that."
In order to have a same-sex friend to talk to in school in the future, Yuzumi Yu decided to ruin the "financial prospects" of both of them.
"They just don't know you well," the boy said.
Gono Kyoko frowned and said after a while: "Is that so..."
"I won't eat with you anymore. I'm going to go with Tateno and Furui." The boy said again.
The girl's faint gaze swept over.
"Who is your friend anyway?"
Yuzumi Yu said calmly, "Tateno and Furui, the three of us have known each other the longest."
"You are my only friend!" the girl said dissatisfiedly.
"...You are my only friend right now."
Kyoko Gono obviously didn't believe it. It was impossible to believe it, it was fake at first glance.
The boy added, "You are my only female friend."
Before Gono Kyoko could recover, a clear voice added: "For now."
"Hazumi Yuu!"
"Please don't spit in my food."
Kyoko Gono blushed with anger.
"Gono-san, please don't put your bare feet on my stomach."
"I kicked you!"
"It doesn't hurt."
Kyoko Gono raised her foot and stepped on him, but fortunately the boy reacted very quickly and dodged by turning his head to the side.
"You're exposed, Gono-san."
Kyoko Gono is just a child, her emotions come and go quickly.
But the idea of "you are my only friend" is not acceptable. In order to completely cut off the "financial prospects" of Tateno and Furui, Yuzumi Yu decided to find a friend for Gono.
Wearing sportswear, he came to the door of Class 1 and looked inside.
In fact, Wu Ye may not be concerned about whether it is interesting or not, he is just too bored alone.
If this continues, there will be problems.
'I'm such a gentle person.'
[Germany: C]
'...'
He immediately saw Kusaka-san sitting in the back row reading quietly.
When did she bring the stool back?
I still read extracurricular books.
This guy, did he relax after getting first place in the exam?
He would make her start respecting learning.
"Kusaka-san, could you come out for a moment?" He was very polite and his voice was gentle.
It's much better than what the Fifth Field Army did back then, which was to just tell people to get out.
'I'm such a gentle person.'
[Germany: C]
"System, if you continue like this, I will block you."
[US: S]
'Thank you for the compliment.'
But this is just the most inconspicuous one among his many advantages.
Not worth mentioning.
Kusaka Haruna put away her book and walked over.
Her long, smooth hair falls behind her, her face is elegant, and her eyes are filled with a tranquil scholarly air, like a pure, independent white lotus flower.
If there is a flaw, it is that there is not much undulation under the tie of the white shirt.
The hem of her pleated skirt rippled like the waves of Tokyo Bay, and her straight legs moved forward in white socks that reached above the knees and indoor shoes.
But——the best-looking one is still Gono-san.
It is elegant in every inch of skin.
But in fact, I feel that they each have their own merits, mainly because Kusaka Haruna's elegant smile is really gentle.
The professional critic made another rude comment. Thinking of the feeling of being commented on by Gono yesterday, Yuzumi Yu decided to slowly give up this identity.
"Is there something wrong? Yuzumi-san." The girl came up to him and looked at him with clear almond eyes.
"Can I have a moment to talk?"
The two of them strolled around the school. On the playground, there were messy chairs placed in the classrooms. It was lunchtime, and not many people stayed there.
The weather in mid-May was not very cool at noon.
"Didn't you play today?" the boy started talking.
Let me start with a common thing to open up the topic and facilitate the subsequent communication.
"I've changed my clothes back."
The boy put his hands in his pockets - his sports shorts have pockets. His eyes drooped slightly and his voice was flat: "I want to ask you something, Kusaka-san."
Kusaka Haruna smiled lightly, raised her hand, and used her slender white fingers to tuck her hair behind her ears.
"If you want to ask about Kyoko, forget it," she said.
This guy...
After a while, the boy said, "No."
Kusaka-san glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"I'm very curious why you changed me back that day."
The girl looked ahead, and the two of them walked slowly. The sky was like a blue ocean, carrying many white boats.
"You said you were going to die. I don't think anyone would curse themselves like that." Kusaka Haruna said in a gentle voice.
Is that all?
"You're not surprised at all." After a pause, the boy changed his tone, "People who encounter this kind of thing will find it incredible, right?"
"I'm surprised," the girl said, "but it's already happened. I'm more curious than surprised."
"…"
Is this sensible?
This ability to accept is too strong.
Kusaka-san's rationality, just like her expression when facing the cute animals she likes, only made Yuzumi Yu feel uncomfortable for one day.
He felt like he owed the other person something.
After all, every time he changed back, there was no countdown, which was very abrupt, and the girl's lips would be imprinted on his face.
Getting Kusaka-san to kiss me like this might be... except for that cat look, it's impossible.
Not only did he inherit the cat owner's powerful special physique from the other party - which allowed him to grow eyes on his back - he also fell asleep while accompanying the other party.
Although he has low morals...
But if it weren't for Kusaka-san, he probably wouldn't be able to get through Torii Samurai now. Although the incident was caused by her, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Kusaka Haruna's soft voice made her sound gentle.
"I want to ask..."
"If you still want to ask about Kyoko, forget it."
"…" It's simply impossible to communicate.
However, Yuzumi Yu said, "How did you know what I was going to ask Kyoko?"
"Have you called Kyoko yet?"
"...about Gono-san."
The girl chuckled, "Besides Kyoko's matter, do you have anything else to ask me?"
"Hazumi-san's indifference doesn't seem like someone who would specifically ask me about these things."
"I'm not indifferent." Yuzumi Yu retorted.
"In my bones."
Is it that obvious?
Maybe, after all, he never hid it.
The two of them had already walked from one end of the playground to the other. After turning a corner, they continued walking along the playground and began to circle.
The large lawn in the middle seemed to still retain the heat of the morning's sports festival, and the lively scene could still be vaguely seen.
Students are sitting scattered in each class.
"I just want to ask about Kyoko." Yuzumi Yu decided not to beat around the bush.
The road has already turned, so there is no need to say anything.
"I won't answer you."
How did Kusaka-san manage to say no so gently?
"Were you good friends before?" he asked.
Kusaka Haruna didn't say anything.
"I understand." The boy said, "Let's go back."
Kusaka Haruna is a stubborn ass. If she doesn't want to talk about something, it seems like no matter how much you ask, it's useless.
The fact that she ironed the clothes even though they only needed to be washed shows her inner persistence.
When they said goodbye in the teaching building, Yuzumi Yuu said with a blank expression, "Have you ever thought about reconciliation?"
Kusaka Haruna turned around and smiled faintly: "Is this your purpose?"
"Kyoko needs a friend." The boy said lightly with his hands in his pockets.
"So, you've already called Kyoko..."
"Kusaka-san, you also need a friend," the boy said again.
Kusaka Haruna was stunned. The handsome boy had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes didn't even show any fluctuation, but his words were sincere.
Finding a friend for Haruna Kusaka is his compensation to her.
1000 evolution degrees, cat owner - a friend.
Is this return of courtesy okay?
"I don't need it." The girl turned and left.
Well...these two are really troublesome.
But if it were easy, this gift wouldn't seem worth much.
Difficult? Prime Minister Yuzumi is not afraid of difficulties, but only fears that they are... not difficult enough!
The harder it is, the more precious it is. When the time comes, Kusaka Haruna will owe him.
No, they both owed him.
Thinking about things, Yuzumi Yu returned to the classroom, walked to the middle of the second row, and sat down next to Tateno Souta - the desk had been put back.
Tateno, who was playing the game console with a light pink body and beautiful girl stickers, turned his head and took a look. Yuzumi Yu took the game console directly from his hand.
Li Ye quickly removed the earphones connected to the body of the device from his ears and handed it over with a serious look: "This part can't be played out loud."
The boy glanced over.
"This is really exciting." He put on his headphones.
