A day after recent events and mind-blowing revelations.

Sainan High School. It was here that Rito had to spend at least half of his free day. In general, in a previous life he was a student, but in this life he again had to return to the good old desk and notebooks with pens.

Fortunately, the advantages of the school have not yet disappeared. Cute schoolgirls in short skirts and bows on their collars warmed the heart of Yuki, who, after meeting the Goddess Freya yesterday, could only try not to become soggy. It seems he was duped of something. Instead of the usual rebirth and a quiet life, Rito now needs to collaborate not with just anyone, but with the representative of Scandinavian mythology herself...

According to legend, Freya has an extremely changeable character. In addition, her loyalty also remains in doubt. This gorgeous rose with thorns, and there is no other name for such a Goddess, kept silent about the fact that with the help of the Love Notebook you can not only study all the ins and outs of a girl Yuki knows, but also influence her. With this property, this artifact in the hands of a madman will most likely become something like a weapon.

"Well, I'm an adequate person. I'm just going to start conquering all the beauties on my way. However, who is to blame that the Points of Affection in my eyes now seem no less attractive than the supposed peace?" - Rito grabbed his chin, right at the break poring over the Notebook of Love, which even in real time made it possible to monitor Mikan's mood and feelings.

(Yuki Mikan: state of mind - carefree, bored, calm; relationship with the owner of the Love Notebook - considers him his family, is friends; actions in real time - reads a book at his desk at school; influence from the owner of the Love Notebook - inactive)

What about the system...

[Username: Yuki Rito]

[Strength: 7]

[Agility: 9]

[Stamina: 7]

[Intelligence: 14]

[Luck: -]

[Charisma: 10]

[Will: 15]

[Affection Points: 3]

The guy tried to look less at his number of Affection Points in his status for the simple reason that he was afraid of not being able to control his spendthrift nature at any moment and spending everything at once. And this is the worst possible outcome. Moreover, Yuki did not really understand what the meaning of his anomalous characteristic in the face of luck was.

"I couldn't even find at least a hundred yen on the way to school and back..."

Rito sighed sadly and noisily, involuntarily drawing the attention of his friend and, part-time, classmate named Saruyama Kenichi, who differed from the other guys in the room with his splayed ears and combed-back black hair.

- Hey! - he quickly jumped up to Yuki and patted him on the back with a wide smile on the stupid face of a typical loser and supporting character.

- What do you want? - Rito, in response, lazily lounged on a chair with an absolutely serene and disinterested look, in the hope that old acquaintances of the past owner of this body would approach him less with such and such behavior.

Yuki's family is one thing, you can't get rid of them, let alone say that some are against the company of their little sister, but it's simply pointless to worry about left-wing friends and classmates. This Saruyama Kenichi, as memory suggested of him, often encouraged the original Rito in the field of love and relationships. However, in light of current events, such recommendations from another school virgin were considered truly useless. The easiest way is to brush it off.

- When will you confess to your beloved Haruna-chan? - Saruyama showed his white teeth with an obvious hint and a call to gain courage, but the guy's words and motives were somehow pure and did not contain any poisonous overtones.

It was precisely because of the latter that Yuki decided to give Kenichi a small chance in communicating with him, without ignoring the person.

"Soon," the corners of Rito's lips lifted in a grin, and at the same time with this action, he grabbed the Notebook of Love and quietly hid it in his backpack.

- In terms of? - Saruyama stopped short, not believing his protruding ears, because never before had the tone of his friend, who was always embarrassed at such moments, sounded so confident and firm.

"And like this," Yuki deliberately looked around, focusing his gaze on a cute girl with dark blue hair in a bob hairstyle and two scarlet hairpins, the same Haruna Sairenji who was now in the company of two of her classmates.

One of the above-mentioned personalities wore glasses and was average in appearance, while the other doll with shoulder-length brown curly hair smiled predatorily and constantly tried to grope the shy schoolgirls around her with a lustful expression on her face. Her name, by the way, is Risa. The name of the latter immediately clearly emerged in Rito's mind, causing the guy to snort under his breath with a chuckle. It turns out that he was not the only one in his class who had an epiphany about the perfection of the local young girls. Pervert in female form! Therefore, it became the most obvious decision for Yuki, with whom he definitely needs some kind of friendship

get along soon...

The lessons continued while highly gifted plans swarmed in the guy's head. Goddess Freya revealed to Rito the identities of two people who were closely connected to him. One is mother, the other is Mikan. However, she decided to keep silent about the third in her own interests, in order to have fun with Yuki and his mental tossing. What a cunning and insidious woman, no matter what you say!

Fortunately, Rito also had his own guesses with information lying on the surface...

In fact, the original owner of this body had little contact with girls. Literally. Especially during high school. Just three Affection Points are proof of this. It's not particularly popular here. However, Yuki did not deny the possibility that he now has a secret admirer. It's just extremely hard to believe in this, considering who exactly he fell into after his death.

After all, Yuki Rito is an ordinary high school student. I used to be fond of football, but I'm not a member of any school club, I don't earn certificates or medals at events, because I simply don't participate in them, and I'm a lousy student.

Well, who would admire someone like that, right? Who would think about this in secret?

Only someone familiar from the past. For example, since middle school, so associative chains instantly formed in Yuki's mind. 14 points of intelligence in status is not a pound of raisins.

Eventually, the bell rang, giving most of the students a sigh of relief. In particular, the last rather dreary math lesson was finally over. Rito stood up from his seat and was already preparing for a merciless attack. All this to find out the hiding person associated with him with Affection Points. The guy's target is a pretty classmate on the other row...

- Sairenji! — Grabbing his backpack and hanging it behind his back, Yuki with an energetic smile called out to the girl who was about to leave the office.

The main thing is not to be nervous, he mentally repeated, because beauties always feel the fear of others and intuitively bypass the fearful ones, not seeing them as worthy partners for their future relationships. This is sometimes the essence of animal life. And Rito already had a similar experience in a previous life, for better or worse. Indecision is a vice of any man, which needs to be gotten rid of immediately!

Thus, supposedly wise sayings flowed serenely through the guy's mind. Therefore, focused on the upcoming dialogue, Yuki did not notice that some slob had left a bottle on the floor right in the aisle between the rows of desks, which had already fallen on its side. It would seem like nothing special, just step over or go around the thing, however...

[Luck: -]

A real verdict!

Noticing a system notification at the last moment before the fall, Rito only managed to curse quietly under his breath. Turning around at the guy's voice, Haruna watched with visible amazement as her classmate almost stumbled out of the blue, falling on top of her. Time seemed to stop, the air turned to jelly.

Yuki accidentally bumped into a girl and lightly hit her with his forehead. These two, by inertia, fell back with a feeling of slight dizziness, at least not to the strong wooden desks. However, Rito himself, purely as a reaction, pressed Sairenji to himself, wrapping his arms around his waist in order to neutralize all possible damage if something happened. In such a situation, this is the only right action on his part. The eyes closed on their own.

Then a dull knock was heard in the office, thanks to which all their classmates turned their attention to them! Everything happened so quickly and unexpectedly that the frightened Haruna did not even have time to squeak...

"I'm definitely unlucky," Rito said wearily, opening his eyes and feeling the girl's overly hot breath on his face along with the pleasant softness of the shape of a small female breast.

Yes, in the end they didn't really hit each other; the two fifteen-year-old teenagers escaped trouble. However, their position from the outside can be called quite embarrassing. Yuki was on top, hugging Haruna and, if he wanted, he could even kiss her if he just gave in an extra centimeter. Sairenji froze in shock, her purple pupils dilating. Her sweet and seemingly eternally shy face almost immediately turned as red as possible to the color of sunset, as soon as the girl realized this episode.

"Now I understand everything..." Rito shrank in his thoughts, realizing that a dash instead of numbers in the luck column was definitely not good in his life.

[Affection Points: +1]

[Affection Points: 4]

[Sairenji Haruna progresses in relationship with user]

But the theory was confirmed. The third person connected with Yuki turned out to be his beloved classmate! Useful information, but why did the guy suddenly begin to hear the bewitching giggle of one crafty Goddess in his ears?
