“No, I just want to eat lunch next to Saeko.”
“Saeko? When did I allow you to call me that? Also, I prefer to eat alone.”
Saeko Busujima’s gaze was full of vigilance, but in Shiro’s eyes, her affection points hadn’t decreased.
“Alright! Then I’ll be direct, I can help you!”
Shiro relayed all the information he had seen from the system quest.
Saeko Busujima frowned: “Where did you find out about these things?”
Shiro didn’t plan to talk about the system, but he had already thought of an excuse: “There are many wondrous abilities in this world.”
“Do you know Tornado, the second-ranked hero?”
“You also have Psychokinesis?”
“I’m just giving an example. If Psychokinesis can exist, then it’s not surprising that I can know your information.”
“And my abilities aren’t limited to just these; I can also enhance a person’s strength through some special training methods.”
“You’re going to kill the Zombie Devil. With your current strength, seeking it out would be certain death.”
Shiro was composed and forthright: “I don’t want to see such a beautiful young girl like you perish!”
“You desire my body?”
“Hmm! Any male who sees you and doesn’t desire you isn’t a man.”
Saeko Busujima’s face flushed.
Her affection for Shiro increased by another 2 points.
“I appreciate your honesty, so, the special training method you mentioned, can it make me strong enough to kill the Zombie Devil in one day?”
“One day is certainly not enough, but counting today, it might just be possible!”
“How does it work?”
“It’s scandalous to say it out loud, lean closer.”
As Shiro whispered, Saeko Busujima’s face grew redder and redder.
At the same time, she became increasingly surprised that such a vulgar ability could exist in the world.
“I have reason to doubt the authenticity of your ‘dual cultivation’ ability.”
“I told you openly and honestly.”
“And even if I’m lying to you, you’d only become a woman before you die.”
These words were a bit harsh, but Saeko Busujima gained a bit more trust in Shiro.
“How about this! I will not submit to a man weaker than myself.”
“As long as you can defeat me, I will believe you.”
Saeko Busujima wasn’t stupid; someone who could directly defeat her in strength wouldn’t need to use such words to deceive her.
Conversely, she would be in complete control of the situation.
In short, the situation was all in her favor.
Seeing Saeko Busujima’s status panel change to ‘Confident,’ Shiro clapped his hands, then reached out and snapped off a branch from a nearby tree that was similar in length to a wooden sword.
“You use a wooden sword; I can’t take advantage of you!”
Affection points rose by another 2 points, reaching 70.
Saeko Busujima placed her bento aside: “Very well, even if you’re lying to me, I forgive you.”
Shiro smiled: “I’m not lying to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Saeko Busujima’s branch moved so fast it was a blur.
A longer weapon is a stronger weapon.
In cold weapons, this is a truth.
When it comes to Swordsmanship, Saeko Busujima is already outstanding.
Even using a branch, her attacks were incredibly sharp.
However, Shiro’s current stats already surpassed those of a professional athlete.
No matter how fierce her Swordsmanship was at the mortal stage, it couldn’t touch his body.
“You lost!”
In the brief moment she changed her stance, Shiro took a step forward, his palm aimed directly at Saeko Busujima’s chest.
By the time Saeko Busujima came to her senses,
Shiro’s fingertips had already begun to scroll the middle mouse button.
Saeko Busujima was both shocked and embarrassed: “You, how can you do such a thing here?”
“If you don’t mind, I have no problem with it.”
The two were on the school’s rooftop, with no tall buildings around, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
However, no matter how open-minded Saeko Busujima was, it was impossible for her to start here.
“Shiro, let’s go back to the dojo to do it! Not here.”
Shiro didn’t insist: “Alright! Let’s have lunch first.”
Looking at Shiro’s carefree back, Saeko Busujima’s favorability increased significantly.
It went directly from 70 to 75.
It was clear that while Saeko Busujima admired strength, she also wanted to be respected.
Shiro happily ate his bento; now Saeko Busujima’s favorability had reached 75.
After the physical connection, the platinum capture ball would come in handy.
Just thinking about this, his grin was harder to suppress than an AK.
“Shiro, with such powerful abilities, why don’t you join the Hero Association or the Public Security?”
“I only do it with people I love; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and try to take advantage.”
“Besides, if my abilities were exposed, do you think I’d still have a chance to get out of bed?”
Thinking of Shiro being tied to a bed, with various women climbing on him, a wave of fear surged in Saeko Busujima’s heart.
“Shiro, I will absolutely not tell anyone about your abilities!”
“I trust you, hurry up and eat.”
The two sat on the ground and, after happily finishing their bentos, left the rooftop.
The afternoon classes passed quickly.
When the dismissal bell rang, Shiro bid farewell to everyone and got up to leave.
“Hmm~! I have something to do, so I won’t be home for dinner.”
“Okay, Shiro.”
Yumi, who answered the phone, hesitated for a moment but still spoke: “Come home early.” Find the original chapter at g.com.
Originally, Yumi was afraid Shiro would misunderstand and didn’t want to say that.
But after thinking about it, it was a mother’s admonition, with no other emotions, so she added it.
However, this brief pause in the middle before adding that sentence made Shiro somewhat expectant.
Was this an invitation?
For me to go to her room tonight?
“Got it, I’ll be back early, bye-bye!”
“Bye-bye!”
Hanging up the phone, Yumi’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Both happy and a little sad.
It was all her fault for not controlling the situation yesterday, leading to this mistake.
However, these things always had to be faced.
She needed to properly repair her mother-son relationship with Shiro.
At the bus stop, a figure stood alone by the platform.
Students around were in groups of three or five, laughing, playing, and chatting.
Making Megumi’s figure appear even more solitary.
“Megumi-chan!”
Feeling someone pat her shoulder.
Megumi turned around and was poked on the cheek by Shiro’s finger, creating a dimple.
“Shiro, can’t you stop acting like a child and playing such jokes?”
“Hehe, you have no expression on your face, but you must be happy inside.”
Shiro could see her status; he wasn’t just spouting nonsense.
“You’re not me, how do you know what I’m thinking? Or is it that, Shiro, you’re good at guessing other people’s thoughts?”
“I’m only good at guessing yours.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bus line they were taking pulled up.
“Oh, right, I have something to do today, so I’m not going back now; you go home by yourself today.”
“Hmm! See you tomorrow morning then. Oh, right, the email!?”
“I’ll give it to you tomorrow morning, get on the bus first, the next one will be more crowded.”
“Hmm!”
Megumi wasn’t unhappy; after all, Shiro had already come for the appointment, he just couldn’t go back with her because he had something to do.
After the bus left.
Saeko Busujima only then walked over from a distance.
An hour later, at Saeko Busujima’s invitation, Shiro stepped into the dojo her father had left behind.
“So spacious, almost two hundred square meters!”
Although his gaze was on the environment inside the dojo, Shiro’s hand accurately grasped Saeko Busujima’s small hand, leading her to the center of the dojo.
