Yuigahama and the Kuroe Residence
Kuroe waved his hand dismissively, completely devoid of any improper thoughts despite the woman’s stunning beauty.
“Punishing evil and promoting good is only a given.
Anyone else in my shoes would have stepped in rather than just standing by.”
In reality, most normal people encountering such a situation would highly likely look the other way to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.
Yet, coming from Kuroe’s mouth, it sounded incredibly sincere and completely natural.
Mrs.
Yuigahama went momentarily dazed, then couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a soft giggle.
“Hehe, you really are a fascinating child.”
She carefully sized up Kuroe, noticing the familiar Sobu High uniform he was wearing.
“Oh?
This uniform…
are you a student at Sobu High?”
“Hmm?
Ah, yes.” Kuroe nodded.
“What a wonderful coincidence!” A look of pleasant surprise bloomed on Mrs.
Yuigahama’s face, and she instantly felt a great deal closer to him.
“My daughter studies at Sobu High too!
Maybe you two even know each other?
Her name is Yui Yuigahama.
What is your name?”
“Minoru Kuroe.” Kuroe paused before adding, “And actually, Yuigahama-san and I are in the same class.”
“Really?
What a small world!” Mrs.
Yuigahama’s eyes widened in delight, and the look she directed at Kuroe grew even softer, as if she were looking at her own child.
“Then that makes us practically family…
ah, no, I mean, you two must look out for each other!
Yui can be a bit clumsy and reckless at times, so I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of her at school, Kuroe-kun.”
“You’re far too polite.” Kuroe smiled.
As they chatted, the train’s intercom rang out, announcing the next stop.
“Ah, this is my stop.” Mrs.
Yuigahama glanced at the station sign, looking a bit reluctant to leave.
She wrapped her fingers around her handbag and handed an elegant card to Kuroe.
“This is the business card for my family’s little diner.
It’s called ‘Yuigahama Diner,’ right near the station.”
“It’s really all thanks to you today, Kuroe-kun.
You absolutely must drop by sometime, and this auntie will treat you to a meal!
You have to come, okay?”
“Alright, thank you, Auntie.” Kuroe accepted the card with both hands and politely expressed his gratitude.
“Then this auntie is leaving first.
Goodbye, Kuroe-kun!”
Yuigahama waved to him and followed the flow of people off the train.
Right before the train doors closed, she didn’t forget to look through the glass and flash a warm, gentle smile at Kuroe inside the car.
[Ding!
Detected a substantial increase in Mrs.
Yuigahama’s favorability toward the Host!]
[Interpersonal Relationship Recorded: Mrs.
Yuigahama (Friendly/Grateful).]
Kuroe looked down at the card printed with a cute pattern in his hand, then out the train window at the receding figure, letting out a helpless smile.
*Incredibly warm-hearted.*
Back in his past life, he had helped women like this before, but the rescued parties were either too reserved or too embarrassed.
He had almost never received such enthusiastic gratitude.
Speaking of which…
wasn’t Yui Yuigahama’s mother supposed to be a housewife?
How did she end up running a diner?
Kuroe shook his head.
Perhaps it was a butterfly effect?
Having resolved two malicious events in a row, Kuroe was indeed in a great mood.
This Hero of Justice System was incredibly useful, especially the feature that alerted him to nearby evil.
Not only that, but he was rewarded for performing good deeds.
As long as he persisted in punishing evil and promoting good, he could not only obtain Justice Points to draw and exchange for items, but he could also naturally reap quite a few positive relationships along the way.
The train forged ahead.
After a few more stops, it finally arrived at the station where Kuroe lived according to the memories provided by the system.
Kuroe walked out of the station with the crowd.
Following the route guidance in his head, he crossed a few quiet streets and eventually came to a halt in front of a house that looked quite aged.
The nameplate read “Kuroe,” and the yard was surrounded by green hedges, looking very much like Crayon Shin-chan’s house.
However, the greenery seemed to have gone unmaintained for a long time, growing quite wild and messy.
“Is this the place?”
Guided by memory, Kuroe pulled out a key from beneath the doormat.
Unlocking the door, what met his eyes was a house that wasn’t very large but was kept clean and tidy.
The first floor consisted of a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, while the second floor housed the bedroom.
The furniture was fully furnished, and though simple, it was clear that the system had comprehensively accounted for these lifestyle details during his transmigration.
“Not bad, not bad.
A detached house in a downtown area.
If this were in central Tokyo, it would be worth a fortune.”
Kuroe nodded with satisfaction and casually shut the door behind him.
He walked into the living room, plunked himself down onto the soft sofa, and let out a long breath.
After tossing and turning for most of the day, he was indeed a bit tired.
“System, open my status screen.”
[Host: Minoru Kuroe]
[Physique: 20]
[Willpower: 10]
[Luck: 12]
[Available Attribute Points: 0]
[Current Justice Points: 800]
“800 Justice Points…” Kuroe stroked his chin. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
He remembered the system saying that Justice Points could be used for the lucky draw or exchanged for items.
“System, how many Justice Points does it cost for a lucky draw?”
[Replying to Host, the lucky draw is divided into the Standard Draw and the Premium Draw.]
[Standard Draw: Consumes 100 Justice Points per attempt.]
[Premium Draw: Consumes 1,000 Justice Points per attempt.]
[Standard Draws grant everyday items, small amounts of attribute points, low-tier abilities, etc.]
[Premium Draws grant powerful items, large amounts of attribute points, formidable abilities, and even various bloodline inheritances.]
“A Premium Draw costs 1,000 points.
I’m just a bit short,” Kuroe noted with a tinge of regret.
But on second thought, he had just transmigrated today and already amassed 800 points.
This accumulation speed was already quite considerable.
“Then let’s test the waters with a Standard Draw first.” Kuroe didn’t hesitate.
Since he had a surplus of 700 points anyway, he might as well try his hand.
“System, one Standard Draw.”
[Ding!
Consuming 100 Justice Points, starting the lucky draw!]
The moment the words fell, a massive wheel flashing with continuous light manifested before Kuroe’s eyes.
The wheel spun rapidly, its patterns blurring out of focus.
Gradually, the wheel’s speed slowed down.
Ultimately, the pointer came to a steady halt on a single slot.
[Ding!
Congratulations, Host, on drawing the item: [Fitness Master’s Muscle Memory] x1.]
[Effect: Upon use, the Host will instantly master all muscle memory and techniques related to fitness, combat, and sports, allowing you to utilize them perfectly, identical to a martial arts master who has trained hard for ten years.]
*Oh?*
Kuroe’s eyes lit up.
This item was fantastic!
Although he possessed immense strength right now, to put it bluntly, he was just a brute with raw power, completely lacking any combat techniques whatsoever.
His ability to crush Sakata and the groper earlier was entirely because both were weak, ordinary people, allowing him to easily overpower them with raw strength alone.
But what if he encountered muscled blond punks or certain dangerous thugs down the line?
While he might still win, there was a risk of getting injured.
Worse yet, if he got cut and exposed to biohazards like HIV, he couldn’t guarantee the system’s draws would readily provide a cure!
This muscle memory was exactly what he needed to patch up this short board!
“Good stuff.
Store it for now.” Kuroe joyfully placed the item into the system inventory.
To get such a practical item from a Standard Draw proved that the system’s benefits were genuinely substantial.
[Ding!
Host, it is detected that you still have 700 Justice Points remaining.
Would you like to continue the draw?]
“Of course I do.” Kuroe didn’t hesitate for a second.
“Let’s burn the remaining 700 points all at once!”
