Chapter 4 Night, Sakurai Aoi
Time is like a beautiful girl's stockings; it can't withstand being stretched.
Evening, at a department store/convenience store.
"See you tomorrow, Ms. Yamada."
Getting off work can indeed bring joy, Hoshino Makoto said goodbye to Yamada Hanako, who was going to work the night shift, with a smile.
See you tomorrow, Hoshino-kun.
Yamada is a little disappointed that he won't see you tonight, but he's also happy that he can see you again tomorrow. Happiness level +1.

Back home, Hoshino Makoto started cooking.
Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner.
Hoshino Makoto hadn't eaten breakfast, so he decided to make up for it with this dinner.
Not only should we eat well, but we should also eat our fill.
A bowl of ramen, spicy and sour bamboo shoots, and a bottle of beverage.
Finally, two eggs were added.
I regretted adding Hoshino as a friend.
"Sigh, I acted impulsively. How could I add two eggs? What's the difference between this and revenge spending?"
There was no other way; since the extra cost had already been made, Hoshino Shin had no choice but to experience what it meant to live the life of the wealthy.
While eating ramen, Hoshino Makoto opened the control panel.
[Host: Hoshino Makoto]
[Stamina: 3]
【Intelligence: 6】
【Charm: 8】
[Skills: Intermediate (Learning), Beginner (Cooking, Cleaning)]
[Mood value: 200]
Two hundred emotion points should be enough to buy some skills from the system shop.
Hoshino Makoto opened the shop.
[Updated monthly:]
Basic Skill - Fishing (100 Emotion Points), Basic Skill - Painting (100 Emotion Points).
Intermediate skill - Cleaning (1000 emotion points), Intermediate skill - Neptune (1000 emotion points).
Advanced Skill - Cooking (10000 Emotion Points)
You can buy the two basic skills: fishing and painting.
But these two skills are not very useful to me.
Hoshino Makoto then saw the intermediate cleaning skill: "System, I already have a basic cleaning skill. What would happen if I bought this intermediate cleaning skill later?"
Only more powerful skills can become your skills.
"Understood."
Hoshino realized that once he bought the intermediate cleaning skill, his original basic cleaning skill would disappear.
He then saw another intermediate skill, Sea King.
This is of no use to me either.
In a matriarchal world, being a "sea king" (a man who loves women) means being a philanderer, a husband in the sense of being a "womanizer."
Hoshino Makoto's gaze finally fell upon the advanced skill—cooking.
This is good, but it requires 10,000 emotion points.
After looking at the skills in the system shop, Hoshino Makoto decided that he should save his 200 emotion points for now and deal with them later.
After dinner, Hoshino Makoto went out for a walk.
This is his habit: take a walk after meals, and he'll live to be ninety-nine.
Furthermore, judging from the panel, his weakness lies in physical strength, so he can take a walk and then jog to exercise his body.
Perhaps later on, the system shop will feature advanced forging skills or something similar.
Skills can be bought with emotion points, but good habits cannot.
Hoshino Masato is determined to pass the civil service exam and become a freeloader.
Developing good habits is now essential.
The evening breeze in the Tokyo countryside is very gentle.
Hoshino Makoto walked down the street, his eyes darting around like he had auto-aimed.
Go wherever there are many people.
Then, little by little, the emotional points were credited to my account.
Seeing the system notifications popping up one after another, Hoshino looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Everyone is so superficial. They only see my handsome appearance but not the interesting soul deep inside me."
"Who can understand how I feel?"
Looking at the sky, which had become completely dark.
Time flies.
Hoshino Shin glanced at the emotion value again.
[Host: Hoshino Makoto]
[Stamina: 3]
【Intelligence: 6】
【Charm: 8】
[Skills: Intermediate skills (learning), Basic skills (cooking, cleaning)]
[Mood value: 300]
With an extra hundred, I can go home now.
Hoshino Makoto was preparing to head home.
He stood in front of a roadside stall and suddenly looked around.
For some reason, Hoshino Makoto felt like someone was watching him the whole way.
He's not like some novel protagonists who don't trust their intuition.
Hoshino Makoto has great faith in his intuition.
Someone must be spying on me in the dark, but they're too well hidden to be discovered.
Hoshino thought of a sentence from her past life.
Boys must take good care of themselves when going out at night.
Hoshino tightened his clothes, turned around, and quickened his pace to head home.
Because he was short of money, he lived in a somewhat remote place.
After crossing the main road, you will eventually have to walk along a narrow path of about a hundred meters with only streetlights.
Turning the corner, Hoshino looked at the road ahead, which, despite being illuminated by streetlights, appeared somewhat dim due to the darkness of the night.
He had walked this path countless times before, but today it felt somewhat eerie.
Before stepping onto the path, Hoshino Makoto glanced back one last time.
The feeling of being spied on was still there, but there was really no one behind me.
"I refuse to believe it today," Hoshino Makoto said, and started running home.
"Haha, Hoshino-kun, hello there."
Suddenly, a female voice came from behind, and Hoshino Makoto's body jolted.
The sudden sound was quite frightening in the quiet night, and at the same time, it sounded somewhat familiar.
Hoshino didn't foolishly turn around or stop walking.
"Hoshino-kun, why are you running so fast?"
A dark figure quickly overtook Hoshino Makoto from behind.
Damn it, when will I be able to increase my three stamina points?
Hoshino Makoto, panting, had no choice but to stop.
A woman who was a little over 1.7 meters tall with dyed yellow hair stood in front of him, her smug eyes showing extreme excitement and fervor.
"You, you're that customer from this morning?"
As expected, Hoshino-kun still likes me.
Otherwise, why would they still remember me?
Sakurai Aoi's smile widened, and the fiery look in her eyes made Hoshino Makoto's scalp tingle.
After being pulled away from the convenience store by the others in the morning, Sakurai Aoi couldn't stop thinking about Hoshino Makoto.
She was too attracted to the handsome young shop assistant's body.
Thinking of this, Sakurai Aoi swallowed hard as she looked at the handsome young man in front of her.
"Hoshino-kun, I told you I would be back soon."
You didn't say it would be this fast.
Hoshino thought to himself, his right hand in his pocket.
"What do you want to do?"
Sakurai Aoi's eyes instantly turned as fiery as the eruption of Mount Fuji, and she nodded emphatically.
"think!"
You're really controlling the big picture with the small one.
In his right pocket, Hoshino Makoto pressed the emergency police number he had entered when he sensed someone was watching him.
Although he is physically weak, he has an intelligence of six points.
How could someone not be prepared when they realize they are being secretly watched?
After pressing the emergency call button, Hoshino Makoto felt much more confident.
The next step is to stall for time as much as possible.
After all, he was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
"Hoshino-kun, I can't wait any longer."
Hoshino Makoto wanted to stall for time, but unexpectedly, Sakurai Aoi let out a low growl and charged straight at him.
