Chapter 7

At the moment she was shouting loudly, I quickly took out a candy

mint and stuffed it straight into her mouth.

-U-Um, what are you doing....~

After blocking Kiana's throat, I quickly got into the famous Japanese sincere begging position - Dogeza.

I knelt down and bowed my head to apologize to her.

- This young man has done many outrageous things to the young lady. Please forgive me, Miss!

-H-Huh, huh..??

I quickly continued speaking before Kiana could react.

- I'm really sorry for what happened before! I swear to God above that it was just an accident! If you don't believe me, you can hit me. But before that, please accept this gift as my apology.

I raised one leg in a kneeling position and held out my hand to offer her an offering as I raised my head to look straight into her eyes.

-Ah okay. If you have such sincere intentions, then I forgive you...

While still bewildered, Kiana quickly accepted the candy package I gave her.

- Thank you very much, my lovely lady.

- Ddd-so cute!!...Ahem, you can forgive me if you want me to forgive you, but I have one condition.

- Please keep talking, miss.

I quickly responded without thinking about the consequences.

Kiana smiled and spoke brightly.

- Ahh, good. If so, I want you to do three things for me.

- Yes?

Why do I suddenly feel worried?

- First, you need to apologize to Aunt Himeko.

This is easy. Bribing a few bottles of sake is fine.

- Second, you have to do all my cleaning this week.

This is really annoying but still understandable.

- Third, um. That's right, from now on you must be my servant.

-Yes?

- Uh- Um, it's over. You just stay and work, I'll go.

Huh? I looked bewildered as Kiana left with slightly red cheeks.

'Why are you blushing, mother!'

Eat bran. I thought the plan would succeed smoothly.

Things should have turned out differently than this, but did I do something wrong?

*Ting*

[Kiana's Rp points increased by 15 points.]

[You have a new message!]

Some administrators are concerned that you don't know what integrity is?]

[Administrator 'The One Who Dwells on the Peak of Paradise' applauds your boneless tongue.]

[You will receive a bonus gift package.]

Sigh, these psychos are still waiting for stories like that. Frustrated, I decided to open the gift package and take a look.

*Ting*

[You have unwrapped the gift.]

[You receive a barrel of 100-year-old wine.]

Oh my god, these admins are nice sometimes.

'So I don't have to look for bribes myself anymore.'

But thinking back, this trash system was just babbling about integrity and that. Well, if your father had any integrity, he wouldn't be alive until now.

My experience living in the previous world has taught me that integrity will not give me money or food or clothing. On the contrary, it only deprives me of more money and reduces the delicious meals I have during the day.

.

Honesty? That's something for dogs to chew on - quote Sun Tzu.

(You rude guy, I didn't say that!)

After thinking that, I happily started cleaning up.

~15 minutes later~

Phew, after finishing my work, I quickly walked down to the cafeteria, which was still crowded with people.

'Do you really have a special meal!'

I stared wide-eyed at a crowd of people crowded together on one side of the counter.

Sigh, this coward doesn't have that kind of greed.

I avoided the crowds and went to order in a place with the fewest people.

- Uncle, give me a portion of curry rice!

- Right here!

After receiving the meal from the kind lady, I happily returned to find a seat.

- Clack.

The class president who was enjoying his bowl of noodles looked up at me and asked.

- Why are you sitting here?

- Yes, what?

I replied innocently.

- I'm pretty sure there's still a lot of space left.

She asked while pushing up her glasses.

- Ahh, master seems so cruel to this little disciple!

- I'll say it again, I'm not your master. So let's get rid of that name.

- Yes Yes.

Of course not, my great-grandmother.

- Then what should I call you?

To my question, Fu Hua replied indifferently.

- Whatever, but don't call master.

'Bit the bait!'

- Well then, Hua-chan.

- Huh, huh? Why do you address yourself like that!?

I smiled and scooped a spoonful of rice into my mouth and replied.

- Oh my, didn't you tell me to order anything? Perhaps he intended to go back on his word.

.

Feeling uncomfortable, Fu Hua said angrily.

- Okay, do whatever you like.

- Yes!

Wow, for some reason, when I saw Fu Hua glaring at me like that, I felt like my plate of rice tasted better.

So this is the satisfaction after retaliation.

That day, I had a peaceful afternoon.

_______________

After finishing class today, I went back to my dormitory apartment.

Lying on the bed after returning, I had nothing to do so I decided to open some system rewards.

*Ting*

[You want to open the main quest reward.]

[Yes/No.]

[Yes.]

[Opened successfully]

Wao, military weapons again? Aren't these useless against Honkai beasts?

Sighing, I scrolled through the side quest rewards.

Oh, oh, oh. This is great. Although the activation time is short and limited, this is definitely a powerful skill.

Happy about that, I excitedly rolled back and forth on my bed.

When I was planning to take a short nap to rest, I suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

I jumped up and ran out to take a look.

- Sorry, I'm the neighbor next door, I came to give you a housewarming gift.

- Oh yes.

I answered and opened the door, only to be surprised beyond words.

- Wait, why you!

- Ahh, you are....

I was quite surprised when I saw the girl in front of me.

- Eto, Mei-san, why are you here?

- That, I also want to know, I didn't expect that the new neighbor who moved into the room next to us is you.

- Ahahaha, I don't know that either.

I'm sure this was all made up by Mrs. Theresa.

- Anyway, as a gift, can you accept this pot of curry?

- Huh, curry?

Why, I just finished eating this afternoon so I don't feel like eating.

Ah yes, this could be a good opportunity.

- Um, thank you. By the way, I have something to tell you, can you come to my room and hang out for a bit?

-Huh? Oh, yeah okay.

I took the curry pot and invited her into the room.

After placing the curry pot on the stove, I turned to ask her.

- Would you like some tea?

- Oh, okay. Please get me some green tea.

- Right now.

After a short tea time, I started the conversation.

- Actually, I have something I need your help with.

- ???
