[3] Eh, a system?

--- Chapter 3 ---

"Hello?"

Eiji who was drowned within his thoughts was snapped out of it the moment a beautiful and feminine voice filled with curiosity called out to him.

Somehow, the moment he had heard her voice the cogwheels inside of his mind started to turn, quickly finding out who this woman was.

'Sayuki Tokihara.'

Eiji immediately identified and recognised the attractive and beautiful girl with long brown hair and hazel eyes after a few seconds. After all she was one of his most favourite female characters from the indefinite amount of animes he had watched due to her personality and... hobbies.

Although, currently he was quite confused and shook when he saw her, a fictional character, in reality.

'I thought I've seen enough craziness the moment I was transmigrated into this world...'

His thoughts slowly went into disarray the more he thought about what this could mean.

'This could also mean that other characters could be here, and there could be a chance of supernatural activities. The one standing out the most would be DxD, especially since it was set in a modern world...'

Eiji, who was once again lost in his imagination, was interrupted by the voice of Sayuki Tokihara who was now looking at him with a raised eyebrow and piercing hazel eyes.

"Is everything okay?"

Eiji, who now began focusing on reality quickly nodded his head and showed another apologetic smile, this time more sincere, before glancing at the pizza box behind her.

'Huh?'

An expression of confusion etched at his face the second Sayuki picked up the pizza box, although the latter didn't see it due to her turned back.

"A margherita pizza and some fries, that would be...¥2700."

The charming and beautiful girl with hazel eyes, eyed at the tag for a few seconds and spoke out the prize before giving the confused Eiji a bright smile.

'When did I order a pizza..?'

Eiji, who was still bewildered by this bizarre scenario, unconsciously payed the woman due to this nonsensical scene that played in front of him and quietly watched her drive away in a daze before snapping back into reality.

His gaze - that was plastered onto the vehicle that was leaving his vision - turned to look at the pizza box for a few seconds before travelling onto the screen that was in front of him.

'A pizza, a fictional character and a screen... can my day get any more weirder?'

Eiji slowly grabbed his messy hair for a few seconds and walked inside of his house before realising what he had just seen.

'Hold up...a screen?'

[Sayuki Tokihara PoV]

VROOM!

'I'm pretty sure that was the last delivery for today...'

That was the thought that plagues my tired mind the moment I had delivered the last pizza to the charming boy with green and silver eyes.

'Hmm, this is the first time I have seen someone with heterochromia in real life. Although, I wonder why he looked confused when I delivered the pizza to him...'

VROOM!

The engine of the motorcycle roared in defiance as I rode quite quickly on it. However I had to quickly hit the brakes the moment the traffic lights turned red, making my brown hair float behind me.

My bored gaze travelled between the countless cars that stopped beside me before landing on my phone that was vibrating softly inside of my pocket.

I quickly moved my left hand towards my ears and tapped twice, accepting the call.

"Hello?"

I quickly answered the phone with the earphone that was connected to my helmet and slowly watched the traffic lights hit green.

"Sayuki our customer is asking why the pizza is late, did something happen?"

A beautiful and elegant voice spoke out in my ear as an expression of pure confusion took over my face.

"Eh? I'm pretty sure I gave the pizza to our customer a few minutes ago though mom..."

The voice that was speaking to me calmly a moment ago was silent for a few seconds before speaking up with a trembling tone.

"Don't tell me you gave it to the wrong house..."

BEEP!

The sound of a car honking violently startled me the moment I realised that I had given the pizza to the wrong house. I quickly started the motorcycle and drove forwards while feeling my face burn up on embarrassment.

"Hahaha! I can't believe that you had done it again! How did you mess up delivering again Sayuki-"

The womanly voice behind the earphone burst into laughter and took a deep breath to stifle it the moment she heard the car beep and my lack of speech.

"Mom! That isn't funny!"

My voice started trembling, indicating my clear embarrassment as I started to speed up the vehicle I was sitting on.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't believe that you had put it on the wrong house again!"

"Mom!"

My mother's started coughing and laughing the moment she heard my voice reply to her with irritation.

"Forget about it, your father will deliver the pizza instead. Hahaha, I bet your eyes are tearing up because of this mistake though-"

I sighed lightly and cut the call in slight embarrassment before driving towards the direction of our house with teared up eyes.

'How did she know I was about to tear up!'

[A few hours later]

MUNCH!

Eiji could be seen sitting on a couch while eating a slice of margherita pizza that had the tip covered with garlic sauce.

'I earned a few more subscribers..'

His thoughts were still on the stream that had ended a few minutes ago, causing him to smile slightly when he realised that he had quite an increase in subscribers.

MUNCH!

He moved the pizza closer to his mouth and bit onto it before looking at the screen in front of him with various expressions, although complication was the most dominant one.

'This thing...'

My bright and colourful eyes reflected the screen in front of me as I began reading to myself while laying gently against the couch.

[Welcome to the Dating System! The Almighty God, Zeus had heard your curses from below and decided to kill you! But do not fret, due to your idiocy on that live streaming platform, countless people who lost their faith in Gods decided to pray to them again in fear of getting struck down by lightning!

In exchange of taking your life, he decided to give you another chance with a dating system!

[Anyways, this was just the introduction to how you got this fabulous and amazing system! Just say 'Status' to access your stats. You can earn more stat points by making the characters that were normally in fiction fall in love with you! Make sure to press the question mark at the right- hand corner for any questions!]

Eiji looked at the introduction with a shocked frown on his face but that quickly disappeared when he heard the last bit of what the system had said.

'Eh?'

Eiji hurriedly thought 'Status' inside of his mind and voila! A panel appeared including all his information, making the boy think of various novels, fanfictions and etc he had read.

<Status:>

<Name: Eiji Hagiwara>

<Age: 15>

<Status Points: 0>

<Level 1>

<Charisma: 8>

[Note: Good looking, comparable to idols and celebrities. Don't get to cocky though, although looks play a good role in getting a girl she will still cheat on you if you can't satisfy her needs]

[Skills]

[Shop]

Eiji stared at the last two words in confusion before pressing the question mark at the top.

[Skills: You can buy skills to use in the mundane world to pick up various beauties! Art skills, Singing skills, Piano skills, we got em all! Unfortunately, you are unable to get any supernatural skills as the unknown and magical side doesn't exist in your world. Apart from me of course!]

[Shop: You can buy skills from here by exchanging <Dating Points> gathered by causing actions to make the heroines like you more and more! The more you make her fall the more points you gain!]

Eiji who looked at this with wide eyes began to let out a deep breath from getting all his question s answered.

'So this thing wants me to make girls fall in love with me? You expect too much from somehow who has no energy at all, especially for relationships...'

Eiji started to shake his head lightly at that and closed his eyes upon all these incredulity he had experienced in a single day. Although, his mind that was cleared after a few minutes landed on a specific question.

'Someone who can love me?'

An intrigued expression came on his face when he thought about that while glancing at the stars that shone brightly as if responding to his thoughts.

'I wonder how it feels like to love... after all this is a completely new thing for me.'

His eyes that reflected the beauty of nature at night slowly began closing themselves as he began sleeping on the couch. Not even bothering to go up to his room.

His fatigued mind quickly shut itself down as hid body began relaxing, but not before one last thought appeared inside of his head.

'I guess I'll have to see what the future has in store for me. All this... is pretty interesting, although the more interesting it is the more energy I'll have to spend. What a drag.'
