Since she became friends with Okkotsu Yuta, Player-chan felt every day that she was being攻略ed.
Yuta was truly a very cute boy.
Not only was he cute-looking, he was gentle and considerate in personality, and when she held him, he smelled nice and felt soft, and he was also absolutely on Sakurai’s side!
Among so many children in the park, he would only pay attention to Sakurai Hoshi. As long as Hoshi showed any sign of falling, he would immediately hold her carefully; when they bought ice cream together, he would definitely give her the bigger one.
How should she put it, the feeling of being favored by a friend was really nice!
When she got up in the morning, Sakurai Hoshi walked to the balcony and tapped on the window. The curtain across from her was immediately drawn open, revealing a bright smile to her. “Good morning, Hoshi!”
“Good morning, Yuta~ Want to come to my house and eat breakfast together?”
After a pleasant breakfast, a good day started with exercise, aiming to get physique +1 today!
Sakurai Hoshi brought her good friend into the dance room, which had been lovingly built by Sakurai Dad, and started stretching.
Originally, Shinko-sama absolutely did not allow her clumsy side to be exposed in front of others, but little Yuta held her hand, the corners of his eyes slightly red, and asked carefully with his lips pressed together, “Can I help?”
Sakurai Hoshi was defeated.
I don’t want to either, but he’s acting spoiled toward me!
As a player, one must have the resolve to satisfy one’s childhood friend! He just wants to help the cute Shinko-sama, what bad intentions could he possibly have? Yuta wouldn’t be like some hateful curly-haired guy and snap a bunch of unflattering photos of her!
…Yuta really would not take unflattering photos of her, but Yuta was very strict!
Shinko was doing back-bend practice.
The result of her agility and strength being too low was that her hands and waist both very easily went soft, causing her little head to go smack into the ground, so Okkotsu Yuta was responsible for holding her waist to avoid the tragedy of the player’s intelligence dropping.
“Yu, Yuta… I can’t do it anymore… Can I… get up now…?”
Her waist and hands started to ache and hurt. The Shinko-sama who had entered the room full of ambition, aiming for physique +1, was about to burst into tears, and she weakly and helplessly started acting spoiled and begging her little partner for mercy.
“Ah, but… today’s practice time still isn’t enough, you know.” Okkotsu Yuta smiled awkwardly. When he lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes were simply pitiable, but the hand holding her waist was stubbornly motionless. “Can Hoshi hold on a little longer?”
“Uu…”
No, she couldn’t refuse at all!
Yuta with that expression!
Who could! Who could possibly?!
Sakurai Hoshi still struggled, trying to twist to shake off Yuta’s hand, but the trash with Strength 4 was simply humiliating herself. In the end, she was firmly pressed by Yuta and only after she completed the scheduled practice duration was she finally let go.
Too scary… Is this the kind of strength and will a child should have?!
As long as she was being pressed by Okkotsu Yuta, there was no way she could slack off and relax at all. It practically felt like being pinned down and beaten by a hidden boss… Fine, being toyed with in the palm of zero and J-Pen-level gorillas was one thing, but now even a 4-year-old could crush the player? Was her battle panel really that trashy??
No, I don’t believe it! Who else has attribute points that can compare to the player!
Sakurai Hoshi, unconvinced, opened Yuta’s attribute panel. Of course, a stranger’s attribute points couldn’t be seen, but for people recorded in the friends list, one could view some of the other party’s attribute values.
“Name: Okkotsu Yuta
Age: 4 (A young body with many restrictions.)
Strength: 13 (Has very strong control over his body, a child in appearance yet possessing adult strength! Wouldn’t you really like to try discovering his potential and becoming an Olympic star?)
Physique: 11 (-4) (His body is still growing, and because he has too much cursed energy, he is more likely than ordinary people to get sick.)
Agility: 14 (Can tell which side a coin will land on before it hits the ground. If he trained properly, he could become a contemporary Spider-Man.)
Intelligence: 12 (Occasionally has a flash of inspiration and can think of methods other people wouldn’t.)
Perception: 35 (Can see nonhuman things, and if he wants to, can even see their weaknesses.)
Charm: 12 (-4) (He is a child people like, however his reputation has been lowered by rumors.)
??: ??
Total attribute points: 84? (-8)
Evaluation: A highly promising cub, seeming to possess hidden traits… It would be best not to become his enemy.”
Invincible player: total attribute points only 72.
Haha, what is the system saying, how could some ordinary neighbor kid casually have a total attribute score that already exceeds the player, who has diligently farmed attributes for more than half a year?!!
No!
I don’t believe it!
You’re lying!!
Sakurai Hoshi was so jealous her eyes turned red.
She had grinded her starting attributes 1325 times! For more than half a year, she had never wasted time and idled away her life!
What about Yuta?!
His strength was even 13! 13! The player only had 4! That was a strength almost too weak to crawl out of her mother’s belly!!
And Perception 35? That was almost enough to trigger the trait [Six Eyes] — the [Six Eyes] the player could not reach!
What was with that ?? attribute slot too! Why would an ordinary neighbor have an attribute slot that even the player didn’t have!!
Shinko-sama had been dealt a blow, and she lay dazed on the floor, talking nonsense. “Why… why am I so weak…”
She didn’t know how to do anything, and could only secretly hide from the police every day, relying on being a cult leader to make a living… she was practically a parasite of society!
Sakurai Hoshi, having lost the will to fight, lay on the floor pretending to be a meat patty. Yuta looked at her worriedly for a while, ran to the side to get something, and then carefully came over.
“Hoshi, drink some water.” He carefully held the cup, bringing the straw to her lips, letting Shinko lie down and still replenish water. “Does your waist hurt badly?”
The player who had just been jealous of her good friend: …
I’m sorry, Yuta, I’m guilty.
She confessed in her heart to her childhood friend, then opened her mouth and took a sip through the straw.
Hiss —
There was actually honey added to the water!
Yuta is my little darling!
Sakurai Hoshi was moved and decided to forget her jealousy from just now.
So what if he was stronger than the player! Yuta was absolutely on Sakurai’s side, and he was her reliable childhood friend!
…
“I’m going to the hospital next. Does Yuta want to go home first?”
After morning exercise ended, Shinko-sama was about to start her daily religious activities.
Ever since Sakurai Hoshi changed into the shrine maiden clothes, Okkotsu Yuta seemed a little restrained: “I, I can go with Hoshi?”
“Hm? Ah… you can, but it’s very boring, you know.” Sakurai Hoshi was a little clumsy as she adjusted the hair ornament on her head. She no longer let believers stay at home, and every time she changed into this outfit it was very troublesome. “Is Yuta okay with that? …Ah, thank you, Yuta~”
“You’re welcome, doing these things yourself is really difficult.” Okkotsu Yuta took her hand and carefully untangled the hair clip caught in her hair. He smiled shyly, helping her put on the other accessories while carefully watching her expression. “Whatever I do is fine, as long as I can stay with Hoshi… so…”
“Then… this afternoon, we’ll go to the hospital together…?”
“Mm!” Yuta immediately became happy. “I won’t disturb Hoshi’s work!”
“Mm~ Then Yuta has to stay properly behind me, okay.” Sakurai Hoshi was infected by him and smiled too. “There are more curses in the hospital, Yuta don’t be afraid, I’ll get rid of all of them.”
“Curses…?”
“Hm? Yuta doesn’t know? You can see them too, right, those monsters that look really scary.”
“That’s called a curse?” Yuta was a little surprised. This was the first time he had candidly talked with someone about “ghosts.” “Mom and Dad can’t see them…”
“Mm, after all, people with super-strong perception are only a minority. Yuta is a very talented person~” A ridiculously strong person stronger than the player.
“Talent…”
A blessing bestowed by heaven.
Was he also a child watched over by god?
But this kind of “talent” didn’t seem to have brought anything good, and instead made Yuta into a weird, superstitious person, not liked by everyone.
Hoshi was the same.
She had a talent that made the adults respect and fear her. But while the other children were still acting spoiled, Hoshi had to put on heavy and troublesome clothes every day, running around in places full of sorrow like hospitals and graveyards, being asked things of by sorrowful people.
Even Okkotsu Yuta was just one of those sorrowful people, constantly asking her for warmth and comfort.
Perhaps she was not a beacon, but a candle. The candle kept burning itself, but the moths only saw the bright light.
This was the first time she had talked to someone about “ghosts,” and also the first time she had been praised for this ability.
It should have been something very happy, but for some reason Yuta felt as if he had eaten a piece of very bitter bitter melon, and the bitterness went straight into his heart. He lowered his head to hide it and tried to continue helping Hoshi comb her hair, but tears fell without warning.
“Yuta…?”
“Eh… what’s wrong with me…?” Okkotsu Yuta grabbed the hair ornament and tried to smile, but what came out was only a sob. Some inexplicable sour ache kept rising in his heart, and tears kept welling out of his eyes, no matter how he wiped them they would not stop. “Hoshi, I’m sorry, I…”
I’m also just someone who keeps asking things of you.
His apology was interrupted by Sakurai Hoshi’s hug.
Sensing other people’s emotions was as natural to Shinko as breathing. She easily understood the reason why Okkotsu Yuta had burst into tears.
“It’s okay, Yuta~” Hoshi’s body was very warm, and her small hand gently stroked the top of Yuta’s head, just like she comforted every sorrowful person. “I’m very happy with Yuta by my side. It was heaven wanting to give me a friend who could see the same world, so it let Yuta come to my side.”
“It’s the same for Yuta too. It’s because heaven thought Yuta was an excellent good child that it gave you me, who can see the same world.”
“I, can… see, the same world…”
The floodgate of emotions was opened, and he cried as if he were going to drain dry all the sorrow of both people together.
“Right. The appearance of curses is very scary, isn’t it? But with Yuta and me facing them together, if it’s the two of us together, curses don’t seem so scary anymore.”
“Thank you, Yuta. It’s really great that Yuta could come to my side.”
Okkotsu Yuta looked at Sakurai Hoshi, and in her gentle eyes, he saw his own crying face.
Just like someone who had walked in the dark for many years and finally saw their own shadow under the light.
He blankly looked himself over, and only then did he realize he was not a moth, but another lamp that had not yet been lit.
Author’s note: Let’s do some childhood-friend daily life.
Okkotsu Yuta: pure love warrior no, ordinary neighbor yes
Yuta’s attribute panel had points deducted because too much cursed energy affected his health…
The girl is becoming more and more unaware of her own combat ability.
Would everyone prefer a fixed update time a little more? My current update time seems too random… Also, the current cover is the girl’s young body!
As usual, please leave comments! Love you all~
