Chapter 13

Hikaru's PoV

After talking, I decided to join in the fun with my brother and Kanan so as to entertain myself and enjoy my time since how many times in your life could you experience something like coming back to your youth.

Playing with them made me feel childish since my time on earth wasn't really fulfilling because life there isn't like those on what we read but just cold hard reality where youl only live once and that's it.

When I grew tired of playing with them, I decided that I would rest near the shades and said it to them.

While I leaned myself to the tree, I decided to take a look on my status to see what I have accomplish till now.

The two years of my stay here in Criminale! made me feel exhausted and thrilled at the same time since having a criminal magnet as a twin brother always make me feel alive for some reason.

During my stay here I have seen a lot of times on how my brother's weird constitution would do as there was one time where, we were kidnapped during the day inside our house by a lady, as she climbed over our house and opened the window as she took us while not making our parents aware on what's going on as her plan might have succeeded if it weren't for us wailing loudly that day, she might have taken us but unfortunately she wasn't caught as she had already fled the scene when our parents came to the room and saw the place in a mess.

Another time would be when our whole family was going home from visiting an amusement park as my father was holding my brother's hand while mom holds mine, while we were crossing the street a runaway car suddenly come out as it speed through the street as it headed straight through my brother's way but luckily our father was quick as he took him from harm's way as the vehicle brushed by. Our parents reported the incident and police came as they questioned them on what happened, the look of the car and everything that may lead to it but sadly nothing turned up as well. Other incident also happened such as scammers, drug addicts, murderers, and other keep on popping out every month.

But our family's lifestyle still go on, as we got used to it and go on our daily life. Thinking about this, I really felt like buying a skill or ability from the shop as of right now since this will get a whole lot worse as Ichimura grew older since in the manga his [Natural Born Victim] constitution grew a lot worse as everyday he had to face a bunch of criminals when he was only walking to school.

I looked up on the shop as I browsed through the list of low - high rated abilities, skills, and things that may help me in surviving in this world.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

•Flexibility (Mid)- The ability to make muscles and bones easier to bend. When ability reached maximum level the user may be able to bend their body like those of contortionist. Price: 22,000 pts.

•Strength Enhancement (High)- A passive ability to enhance the strength of the body more than what the it normally can. Reaching max level, may give the user the strength to dead lift over 500 kg with maximum effort. Price: 40,000 pts.

•Agility Enhancement (High)- A passive ability to enhance the reflexes, coordination, and speed of the body from what it normally can. Reaching max level will allow the user's body the ability to catch arrows in flight. Price: 40,000 pts.

•Karate (Low)- A martial arts that came from China. Contains all knowledge and techniques on the level of a master. Requires the body to be trained in order to prevent harming the body. Price: 1,200 pts.

•Taekwondo (Low) - A martial arts coming from Korea. Contains all knowledge and techniques on the level of a master. Requires the body to be trained in order to prevent harming the body. Price: 1,200 pts.....

The list continues on but the thing that I focused my mind on are Flexibility, Strength Enhancement, and Agility Enhancement since the abilities description are more focused on the overall growth of the body and it also could improve my survivability in this world. But seeing the prices made think more since the prices of the abilities is equivalent to three years worth of my daily points earned via daily logging.

After thinking about it, I made decision of picking the Flexibility since this one gives me the passive ability of making my body more flexible making it easier to move and even dodge some dangerous attacks if I were in a tight spot. After buying it, my body began to feel loose as I tried bending my hands but ended hurting myself as I thought it would give an immediate effect.

Scolding myself, I decided to check my status to see how much is left with my points.

Seeing that I have more than 16,000 plus, I decided to buy some basic martial arts to improve my defensive skills and well to learn it anyway since I have too much time and so that I could teach my brother some for defense purposes costing up to 4,800 points and some weapons like a katana worth 2,000 points, wooden pole worth 500 points, and a stun gun worth 5,000 points leaving me with 3,906 points.

As I return back my attention to my brother, I found him coming towards me as Kanan follow behind him apparently both of them had tired each other out from playing. I then told my brother that we're going home since it might be lunch time by now.

My brother then asked me if we can bring Kanan-chan with us to eat lunch, I then told him that we can't since we don't know where she lives and she doesn't know her parents phone number so that our parents could call for.

My brother became sad that he couldn't bring along Kanan-chan to our home to eat but she understood my concerns as she then told him that she is okay and we could play again the same time next week and maybe we could make both of our parents meet each other, so that they could know one another.

My brother's mood change to being excited as he grabbed her hand and shakes it hard making her arms become from the shaking while I smiled at the side seeing their antics.

We then said goodbye to our friend as we both got our separate way. My brother kept on waving his hands at while she waves back as for me I saw their antics to be so cute as I wished I had a camera right now to picture this moment.

"Master, you may buy one in shop if you'd like" Alfred voice out as I then asked him to buy one for the system's use and saying its worth a 1,000 points.

"Go buy it, Alfred it is worth it if I can immortalize this moment forever"

"Okay, master. Deducting 1,000 points for system's camera.... Done. Proceed in taking photo"

"Yes, hurry"

"Done"

"Let me see" I asked as Alfred showed it to me where he took a perfect picture of Ichimura and me smiling while waving our hands to her, as Kanan responds as she waves back to us. The sunlight in the picture was perfect with some leaves falling gently that it made the picture more memorable.

"Hey, Alfred. Can you print out this picture for me? So that I could at it for our family album" I asked.

"As you wish, master" Alfred say as the photo then appear in the inventory.

"Thank you, Alfred" I sincerely thank him

"Happy to be of help, master"

As we walked heading for our home, we encountered a flasher on the way back home as we ran past by him quickly as possible.

We got home eventually as our parents asked how's our day playing outside was and I told it was fun while my brother was telling our parents that he has finally gained a friend and she's like him with a weird constitution.

Our parents of course was happy about it and then asked us to continue the talk on the table but first they asked us to get ourselves cleaned up before eating.

After we did that, we soon came to eat lunch as we told our parents on what happened mostly my brother did all the talking as interjected a few.

"She's just like me, mom. She had powers in becoming invisible but she can't control it and it made her unable to make friends due to it but then when she met us, we become friends" Ichimura said as he then retold Kanan's story as I fixed some of it.

"Ohhh..... I'm so proud of you boys for making friends with her, come here and give your mom a hug" Mom says as she proceeds to hug us both.

"Hmmm..... That girl is really lucky to meet you guys and we wish to meet and know about her as well as her parents" Dad says as he smile at us.

"Dad, we can meet them next week since we promised to play again as she would also bring her parents as well to meet you" My brother says as he looks at me saying 'Right, brother'

"Yes, father. We agreed to meet each other at the park along with her parents and we hope that you could come with us as well" I say as our parents agreed since there are free next week.

My brother was happy when they agreed so am I since maybe I have a chance to at least change her fate.

"Okay, its decided we would also come with you both next week and since both of you finally made your first friend we're going to buy you both a present of your own tomorrow" Mom says as she surprised us both.

"Yeah, Thank you mom" Ichimura and I both say at the same time as we hug her tight.

"What about me, I would be the one who will be paying for your presents you know" Dad says as he fake pouts at us.

"You too, dad. Thank you" We both say as our dad took us up from the ground and hugs as while laughing.

"Okay, okay, I know. You can say your thanks after we bought your presents" Dad says as he puts us down.

Our family stayed like this throughout the whole day.
