Have a good day :)

...

Are you telling me that just because of such a simple gesture, her affection for me increased exponentially? I honestly don't think that's likely.

[Ehem, it's a guess, but it's possible that she already considered you handsome from the beginning. Probably that gesture helped her increase her affection for you.]

In other words, it was the trigger.

[It can be]

I must say that I am amazed. Jacob's beauty is much more impressive than I initially thought. I knew I was handsome, anyone could tell that by looking at my face, but I underestimated my own beauty (even if it sounds totally narcissistic).

"Now I understand why those girls were looking at me and whispering behind my back. I really thought it was because of all the rumors about me" – I said thoughtfully.

That happened the day I went to high school to take my final exams. According to the memoirs of the former Jacob, he had a friend whose name was Ricky, who helped him so that the bullies would not bully him in exchange for doing his homework. A simple deal that benefited both parties.

The fact is that I don't know why or how but the fact is that they found out that Ricky and I were no longer friends, that we were angry and tried to harass me and even despite having heard about my condition. What happened? Ask the toilet and the trash cans. I think those thugs became good friends and next year they will have a good time together.

I mention that as a curiosity, but the really disturbing thing is that, during the whole time I was there, many girls looked at me and whispered. At first I thought they were simply commenting on the rumors about my condition and I didn't give it any importance. But what if it wasn't like that?

"Maybe... were they surprised by my new look?" – I asked myself.

In any case, there is no way to prove it anymore because school for me is over, forever.

Don't think that because I am not going to go to school from now on I will be uneducated or something similar, quite the opposite. In my previous life, I studied a lot and even graduated from university with excellent grades, so I think I have enough knowledge not to be considered uneducated. So that's why I don't have a problem.

"Anyway, let's get back to the subject. There are still two girls to examine" – I sighed.

[Those two girls are analyzed together]

"Why?" – I asked curiously.

Wouldn't it be logical for each one to have an individual status and not one for both?

[Ehem, to begin with they have the same power and second...]

"And second?" – I asked curiously.

[I can't tell you now. If you have any complaints, please keep them to yourself]

"I won't complain. Surely all this has to do with the God of Deals and my sealed memories, if I am not wrong" – I said.

[Exactly]

"I knew it. Although it doesn't matter anyway, I think for the moment I will stop trying to unlock my memories and let myself go. I guess I'll remember things little by little in the end" - I said to myself.

The system didn't say anything at all, so I assumed that my words were true.

"That said, let's analyze the last ones" – I said.

Then I fixed my gaze on the twins, who were playing together with Claire in the water. Of course, the water only reached their waists to prevent the water from wetting their ugly masks.

I looked at them and this is what was shown.

First Name: Sylvia and Lenora Ashworth

Race: Human.

Age: 93 years old.

Quirk: Spectral Face (Intermediate)

Affection for the Host: 65.

Spectral Face (Intermediate): With this peculiarity they can petrify and even kill those people or beings who look at their faces (only if they have a soul inside them). Those with mind-based peculiarities will simply be paralyzed by fear for hours, while other strong-minded people will be petrified for hours. Those with a weak mind will be pretrified for life or even they will die. This peculiarity is at the (Intermediate) level because their holders are unable to return their face to normal.

"I mean, if the peculiarity went up in level... could they control it and return their faces to normal?" – I asked after seeing their status.

[Exactly]

"But I seem to remember that you told me that you could only help me level up my peculiarities" – I said.

[That's right]

"But then. How am I going to help those poor girls get back to normal? How can I try to help them to master their peculiarities?" – I said frowning.

[Naturally there are other methods, that's not the only one, but I can't tell you now, so resign yourself for the moment]

"Okay... for the moment I will say nothing. But in return I want you to answer a question for me" – I said.

[You know I can't answer all your questions. But go ahead and give it a try]

"I'm sure you'll be able to answer my question without any problems" - I said.

[If you think so... Try it]

"Previously you gave me several missions to conquer the girls, all with their respective rewards. Am I wrong?" – I said.

[That's right. Do you think the rewards are not many?]

"No, nothing like that. What I would be interested to know is why you didn't give me a mission related to the twins" – I said.

[Ah, that's right. I didn't actually give you a mission related to them]

"Well? I don't want to be rude, but... Why didn't you give me a mission related to them?" – I asked curiously.

[You see, it's simple. The reward of that mission could help the twins to return their faces to normal without taking away their peculiarities]

"Then that's better, only give me the mission!" – I exclaimed.

If the reward is so good and can help them... Why didn't the system give me a mission related to them?

[The answer is simple. It's because you can't kiss them]

"What does a kiss have to do with this whole thing?" – I asked without understanding.

[Think host, what did you just see in the statuses of the girls?]

I thought about it for a moment, what did the system mean? Their statuses were normal. They contained their name, race, age, peculiarity and...

"Affection..." – I finally said.

It's true, some girls' affection has crossed a certain line, and they've fallen in love with me! Why haven't I received the corresponding rewards?

[It looks like you've already understood]

"Anyone who was a little smart would understand. So, tell me. Why haven't I received the rewards?" – I asked again.

Bronwyn, Claire, and Fiona already have feelings of love for me. Shouldn't I have received their rewards already?

[The answer is simple. The system will not consider complete the mission until you kiss the girl]

"What...? But does that mean that...?" – I said in amazement.

[That even if I gave you the mission of the twins, it would be impossible for you to complete it because you would be completely petrified for an hour or even die]

"But, even if I am petrified... couldn't they kiss me and that's all?" – I suggested.

In theory we both had to kiss. Wouldn't it be enough for them to kiss me while I'm petrified?

[That doesn't work like that and you know it]

"I see... I guess we should both take the initiative and not just two" – I sighed.

If I am petrified, it would only be them who kissed me and not me, so the mission would not be completed.

[That's right]

"And what do you propose that I do then?" – I asked.

I mean, I can't resist their peculiarity right now, so the mission can't be completed. How can I make sure their peculiarity doesn't affect me?

[Continue to complete the missions. That's the only thing I can say]

"That's what I'll do" – I nodded.

I was going to go on talking, but suddenly, a small, delicate hand pulled mine.

"Come on Jacob, you can't be sunbathing all day. Let's have fun!" – Olive said.

That's right, it was Olive, who had wet hair and her whole body, including her underwear, which allowed me to see her nipples because, thanks to the water, her underwear had become almost transparent.

"Yes. You're right. I can't keep staying here. Let's have fun" – I nodded.

I'll think about these problems later. For now I'll have fun with the girls.

…

Hours later.

It was almost night and we were all tired from spending all day on the beach, playing. Besides, it was almost dinner time, and Miss Peregrine would be angry if we didn't get there in time.

"Come on, quick or Miss Peregrine will scold us again!" – Claire urged.

We dried off as much as we could, put on our clothes and ran straight to the orphanage.

"It's been an amazing day!" – Bronwyn exclaimed.

"Yes, I haven't had such a good time for a long time" – Olive nodded.

"I think the same" – Emma nodded.

"Being with Jacob has made this day a lot more fun than usual" - Claire nodded.

"Yes" - Fiona nodded.

And the twins nodded too.

"I'm glad my company made your day so lively" – I said with a smile.

Soon after, we arrived at the orphanage completely exhausted.

When we opened the door, Miss Peregrine was at the door, waiting.

"You are coming... 5 minutes late" – said Miss Peregrine looking at her pocket watch.

"Sorry Miss Peregrine, we didn't really realize the time until Claire mentioned it" - Emma apologized.

Miss Peregrine looked at the girls and smiled inwardly because they all had smiles on their faces, symbols that they had had a great time and surely all thanks to Jacob, because she had never seen them so happy just to go to the beach and it was not the first time they went.

It seemed that Jacob's presence made life brighter for the girls and even the boys were excited about Jacob's return. Miss Peregrine only hoped that Jacob would really stay with them, because she could not imagine how sad they would be if Jacob left. They may have felt much sadder than when Abe left. Therefore, Miss Peregrine hoped that Jacob would make the decision to stay with them, but, as expected, that was a decision that only Jacob could make and she could not force him to do anything. That was his choice.
