Chapter 4

After lying down and sleeping for a long time, I reached the conclusion that there are three easy and legal ways to make money for ordinary high school students.

The first is to do part-time jobs in some shops or convenience stores that have more leniency in the working age regulations, but to find a store that has many such restrictions is a little difficult, not that there aren't any, it's just that it's quite difficult to get one here.

The second is through my parents, I just have to wait for my parents to give me monthly money, but that would be very long and with a limited amount, especially since I currently have to live alone in Tenguu city while both my parents are away working in America.

Also, I didn't want to rely on others too much after seeing what the person in my dreams had achieved, achieving success at the age of less than thirty.

And finally the third, is through light novels, I know this might sound quite absurd and difficult to do, especially since writing a novel is not as easy as writing something on paper, but it requires creativity and an interesting plot so that someone wants to read my novel.

But, for me, who always has weird dreams and gets many new novel stories from my dreams, it becomes easier than me.

Is this a sign that I should become a copywriter? Rewriting many great works from other worlds to this world? Writing my own name in the history books?

But being a copywriter isn't just a matter of rewriting every word of the previous novel, it also depends on the writing skills of the author himself, even if I manage to rewrite every single word, it doesn't mean that the novel I'm going to write will also meet the same end as the original novel.

After all, after gaining Spirit power, my memory capacity increased and I could even remember all the things that happened in my dreams, but somehow it didn't help me to remember my memories in this world better.

"But of all the great works in that alternate world, which one should I choose? There's Overlord, Tensura, and even Sword Art online"

All of those stories are masterpieces, and there's even Re: Zero which is quite popular.

"I think Overlord is pretty good" I said listlessly.

Rising from my bed, I sat in front of my study desk before opening my laptop, I first wrote the synopsis for overlord first before starting to write.

It's honestly the first time I've started writing something like a novel, I just hope that with my current ability, I can at least be able to write a thousand words for one day.

....

I gave up!

It's been an hour since I sat in front of the Laptop and haven't managed to write a single word, I think being a Copywriter is not my forte, after all what do I expect from a slightly strengthened memory? I even naively dreamt of writing all the great works from parallel earths in my dreams.

I guess I'll go back to my main plan, looking for some part-time jobs at some stores or convenience stores near my house, and if I remember some convenience stores near my house have job openings for high school students as part-time workers.

Thinking of that, drowsiness started to attack me, I fell once again on the bed and started to fall asleep, after all even if I now had superpowers that defied human logic, I was still an ordinary high school teenager who was mentally tired.

The next day, I walked back to school as usual, nothing special in the morning, no cute little sister waking me up or childhood friends sneaking into my room.

It's not that I want some of the clichéd events of the protagonist to happen to me, it's just that deep down inside I slightly miss that kind of beautiful atmosphere.

Or am I just feeling jealous of the harem anime protagonist's luck with women?

I don't know, I guess I just don't feel like thinking about troublesome things right now.

When I got to school as usual, I went inside and put my shoes into my locker, but what was this? A mysterious letter in the shoe locker?

Wait! Is this the legendary love letter?!

I quickly picked it up and put it away in my bag before walking to a quiet place to open it.

"Damn! Is spring finally coming to me?" I looked at the letter in my hand quite happily.

Squatting in a corner where few people would pass by, I opened the love letter in my hand nervously, as I looked at the contents I saw two big words inside.

[Sakura Tree]

"What is this?" I stare at the letter in front of me strangely, it doesn't look like a love letter no matter how you look at it, and what's with the cherry tree? Is it a meeting location?

I even looked at the back of the letter and there were no further words other than cherry blossom trees.

There were about twenty cherry blossom trees inside Raizen High School and it was impossible for me to search through all of them, after all there was no time stamp at all.

Shredding the letter in my hand in annoyance, I threw it into the rubbish bin before walking away in annoyance.

Meanwhile, far behind the wall where Tonomachi couldn't see, there were two strange figures peering at her with sharp eyes.

One figure had dark blue hair and the other was blonde with two strange bundles in her hair.

"Fufu~ It seems that the fish has taken the bait" While the dark blue-haired girl laughed strangely, the girl beside her looked full of interest as she stared at her.

"Master, you're so smart, that demon lord's henchman will definitely fall for our plan-Desu!"

Meanwhile, back at Tonomachi's place, when he walked into the classroom looking upset, it caught the attention of his best friend, Itsuka Shido.

"What's wrong? You look upset?" Shido asked in confusion when he saw me enter with an annoyed look.

"Nothing, it's just that I've just been tricked by some weirdos" I said irritably, after all, attacking the heart of a fragile teenager like me is pretty evil.

Even if I plan to open a harem in the future, but at least I'm currently still a fragile good-hearted teenager, using something like a love letter to taunt me, that's a very despicable deed!

"Tricked? Who tricked you" Shido asked with a hint of amusement on his face.

"What's with that face of yours? Also I don't know who would dare to try to play games with me, if I knew I would drown that person to the bottom of Tokyo Bay" I said confidently.

Even if I wouldn't actually sink that person to the bottom of Tokyo Bay, I would definitely make him pay.

"Come on, tell me how you got tricked?"

For a moment I hesitated whether to tell her or not, but after deciding and being sure I told her the truth.

"Eh? Are you sure it's a love letter and not a challenge to fight?" said Shido.

For a moment I was speechless, why didn't I think of that before? It could have been a challenge letter from someone else, but who would challenge me to a fight to the point of sending a letter like this?

"I'll figure this out later" I muttered under my breath.

"Then, what about the club I mentioned yesterday? Are they the same as the rumours?" Shido asked with some curiosity.

"There's no problem with that club, though I admit you're right, the people in that club have problems with their brains" I acknowledged Shido's words without blinking, after all I wasn't lying at all.

After all, who would have guessed that I would be attacked right after I had just joined the club, not even in my wildest dreams.

"As I expected, everyone in the club has problems with their brains, so are you sure you don't want to switch clubs?"

"No, even if they have mental problems, I will stay in the club"

"Are you sure about that? After all there have been many people who joined the club and left after seeing the contents, they are all troubled, I hope you don't get infected with their strange behaviour"

Even if you don't say it, I think I'm already starting to get infected with their strange virus, I can only pray that I don't fall too deep.

Because if that were to happen, I can't imagine how embarrassing the things I would do in the future would be.

"I hope"

"Ha? I hope?" Shido looked confused by my strange answer.

"Besides, Shido, haven't you come across anything strange lately?" I asked Shido to confirm the progress of the plot.

After all, I wouldn't be naive enough to think that my interference wouldn't affect the plot at all, especially since I didn't know if the butterfly effect I would cause was big enough to change the fate of the world or too small to mean anything.

Even if it was big enough, I would prepare some things to counter the first Spirit in the future, after all with my existence being the biggest variable in his plan to resurrect Shinji, he definitely wouldn't let me live in peace.

"No, I didn't find anything strange, why?" He asked in confusion.

"No, I just heard a rumour that there are ghosts roaming the town lately" I even lied without blinking, with a flat expression as if what I was saying was the truth.

I thought I should blink, after all the expression that one can lie without blinking is quite popular, so I added a wink to support my lie.

"Ghosts? Do you believe in such things" Shido asked with a hint of sarcasm on his face, as if he didn't even care about the existence of ghosts himself.

"I only saw this rumour from the internet, as for whether it is true or false, I don't know at all" I shrugged my shoulders as if I didn't care.

"Eh? Are you guys talking about ghosts?"

As we were busy talking, a cheerful and ear-piercing girl's voice rang out.

Damn! Why did this girl have to join our conversation, and where are her other two friends?

"Yamabuki-san, are you interested in ghosts?" Shido asked Ai with a bit of surprise on his face, especially since Ai didn't look like someone who would be interested in such things.

"Yes! Ghosts are cool you know! They can disappear and appear without being subject to the laws of physics."

What's with those stars in her eyes? Does this girl have brain problems too?

I mean, what normal girl would talk about ghosts like talking about K-pop idols?

"Really? Do you like them? They look scary in films anyway" Shido you're asking a normal question.

"Even if they look scary they look really strong"

"Are you sure about that, yamabuki-san? I think spirits look better, and they can even break the laws of physics."

Without even the slightest shame I bragged about the prowess of us Spirits, I don't know if existences like ghosts or Yokai exist in this world, but even if they do, I would shout out loudly that we Spirits are much better than them.

"Eh? Aren't Spirits a type of ghost?" Ai replied with some confusion.

Damn! I forgot that in this world the existence of Spirits is a secret, even a top secret for the country.

I wonder how the people of this world would react if they saw that the figure behind the Spacequake that they had considered a natural disaster was a beautiful girl with strange powers?

"Ah! No, spirits and ghosts are two different entities, where spirits are the natural manifestation of nature, such as earth spirits or water spirits, they represent the concepts they hold, whereas ghosts are more like vengeful souls who have yet to settle their affairs in this world."

I don't know if this is true, after all even if I am now the embodiment of a pure Spirit, I have never really understood the origin of my power, even in the dreams I see every night it has never been explained in the slightest.

Perhaps, I can go back to practising controlling my power like in the first week I got it, I'll try to create a black hole or two later during practice.

Our conversation continued until Tamae-Sensei entered and the first lesson bell started.

Time passed and the first break started, as everyone started to take out their lunches I walked out of the classroom, I didn't like the smell of food mixed together anyway.

And by the way, it seems that Origami has returned to school and still looks like she used to when she was very cold, I admit that the girl is quite pretty especially her short white hair adds to her personal charm.

But unfortunately, her lack of sensitivity to the outside world and her obsession with getting revenge on the Spirit made her start to ignore everyone around her.

I was currently walking without a clear direction, after all I didn't have any plans until after school to go to the club and find a part-time job afterwards.

But a strange bundle emerged from the bushes and headed straight for my face.

"Mighty Mjolnir Maul!!! Taste this you demon king's spy!!!"
