Yukinoshita stared at her reflection in the mirror, and after she was sure that nothing had messed up, she looked at the clock. She wondered how many times she had been looking at the time, but she must admit her emotion was all jumpy at this moment.
*Ring!*
Yukinoshita felt her heart almost stop, then quickly looked at her phone.
Shishio: "I'm right outside of your apartment."
Yukinoshita: "I'll be right there. Wait for a moment."
Shishio: "K."
Yukinoshita replied to his email before she prepared to go out. Frankly, it was normal since they often went out together, yet she must admit that whenever they were together, it had always made her heart flurry.
Yukinoshita walked out of her apartment and saw him in the car, waving his hand. She sighed and asked, "You're still 15 years old. Do you think it is alright for you to drive a car like this?" Even though Shishio had reminded him that he would drive a car, she couldn't help but scold him lightly.
"You might want to bring many things, so I think a car is more comfortable. Anyway, come in. It's too late to switch to a different vehicle. Also, you wear a skirt. What if the wind blows your skirt?"
Anyway, this wasn't the first time he was scolded by this girl, and it was quite easy to handle this problem since this girl was kind, so when he made her empathize with him, she would nod at his words.
As expected, Yukinoshita heard that he did this for her. She softened and said, "It can't be helped then. Excuse me." Still, it was quite hard to be honest with herself, so she had to appear as if she was reluctant.
"Welcome."
"However, you shouldn't say something as rude as my skirt will blow by the wind," Yukinoshita complained with a blush.
"You look cute in that dress, Senpai."
"...Thank you, but don't think you can evade my scolding."
"Yes, yes."
This time brought a black range rover, which could defend against a bullet and an explosion. Yet it was impossible to defend against Yukinoshita's scolding.
If possible, Shishio wanted to shut her mouth with his lips, but he was going to refrain from it, considering how he might be slapped by her. The time, occasion, and mood weren't right either, so it was better to change the topic of the conversation, so she would stop.
"Now that you mention it, have you planned what kind of gift you're going to give Yui-senpai, Senpai?"
"Not yet." Yukinoshita shook her head and said, "I plan to walk around the department store to see whether there's something suitable. How about you?"
"I'm the same. So should we go now?"
"Okay."
While he started to drive, they talked about many things. Still, while they spoke, he began to think about what had happened after he returned from Izu with everyone. If there was a regret, then it was obvious he couldn't spend more time with Mai.
Yet, people often say distance made it beautiful.
While he felt it was right, he also felt it was wrong since wasn't it normal for one wanted to be by the side of their loved one as long as they could?
As for the boredom that they might feel with the person that they loved too much, they only felt it because they didn't have enough love, or in the begin with, there was no love in their relationship.
Still, love was a fickle thing. Many things could erase its trace. They were troublesome, but we sought after them, which made them even more difficult.
As for him, he might seek more intimate exchanges that he shared with his girls instead of love, or he might feel that he was empty, so he might try to search for something to fill this emptiness.
However, that changed when Shiina reminded him and confessed to him back then.
He felt the world was more colorful now.
Anyway, this wasn't a time to think about something strange, and it was better to think about the rewards that he previously received from Momo.
"....."
Shishio believed that Momo's rewards were awesome, especially the last one.
Of the seven rewards, two were assets, while five were abilities.
Those assets were a building and a hospital.
While the hospital was obvious, and it even worked together with the university, what surprised him the most was the building since it was located in Hong Kong instead of this country. Yet he didn't feel unhappy and even happy since the building in Hong Kong was even more outrageous than in this country somehow.
Especially when this building was focused on the leasing and rent of the tenants, so he didn't need to do anything, and he just needed to wait for the rent to come.
As for the hospital, he might also have had another hospital before, but two were better than one, right?
In other words, he was satisfied with the hospital and the building.
On the other hand, the abilities he received from Momo were something that made him in a daze.
The enhanced tongue made his tongue stronger, could be extended, flexible, and quite agile, which made it easier for him to do many "things." His tastebuds also got stronger, and he could tell the details of the food from the ingredients, cooking methods, and various other things just from the taste.
Fortunately, even if his tongue became more sensitive toward the taste, it didn't give him discomfort when he tasted someone normal or bad. Still, if he ate something nasty such as Yui's food, then he might die.

"Achoo!"
Yui felt her nose was itchy.
"What's wrong, Yui?"
Yui looked at her mother and said, "Nothing, mom. I'll go back later. I'll also bring Sable (her dog) with me."
"Alright, be careful, alright?"
"Yes." Yui smiled while looking at her mother, but then she thought for a while and said, "Ah, mom, can I bring someone in the future?"
"Hmm? Who is it? Is it your boyfriend?" Yui's mother looked at her daughter curiously.

Shishio was satisfied with his enhanced tongue well before, and everyone was satisfied with his tongue too. Aside from this reward, he was quite surprised by getting the "Archery Mastery." Frankly, if he entered the Kyudo competition now, it would be easy for him to become a champion. However, he was too lazy to do so, and he often heard the national competition was held during Christmas.
How could he spend his holiday on such a thing?
Still, this ability increased his arsenal since he felt the danger was getting closer and closer. It was hard to tell when the danger was about to approach, but he could tell that it was probably after the summer.
Right in the autumn, when the maple leaves were dyed in the crimson color.
Still, there was a lot of time for preparation and his "Blacksmith Mastery" made it easier for him to create various weapons. The firearms were one thing, but he could tell it was easier to be dodged, so he planned to make a sword, shuriken, and many other hidden weapons.
If he added his "Chemistry Mastery," he could make various explosions and poison.
His preparation might seem exaggerated, but he felt it still wasn't much. After all, he knew what kind of existence he was going to fight. It wouldn't be strange if this existence was protected by someone known as plot armor.
Shishio didn't plan to die, and he also planned to kill this existence, so he could live peacefully in this world.
Those abilities could help him greatly in the fight, but what he loved the most was his last two rewards.
While he didn't need to explain what was the use of the "Enhanced Charm" it made him even more handsome. There was one face, but there was this aura that made people easily attracted or influenced by him. If someday he tried to mess around by calling himself a "Messiah," he wouldn't think it would be weird for someone to follow him.
After all, while people often say, 'don't judge someone by their appearance." Most people judge someone by their appearance.
The first impression determines everything.
It was also the reason why we dressed up and tried to make our appearance better.
This was why he was afraid that he might destroy several families in his neighborhood, considering those housewives around him had become quite restless. They weren't much different from a shark that smelled the smell of blood. If he wasn't being careful, he might be eaten by them.
Yet, the prospect of being eaten wasn't bad at all.
After all, there was no responsibility or whatever that he had to take. Even if they didn't give him rewards from the system, the joy that came from the delight of flesh wasn't something that he couldn't deny.
Fortunately, he had a lot of girlfriends, and they saved him from the path of the abyss where he couldn't return.
Yet, was it an abyss? Or maybe it was heaven?
Anyway, Shishio felt that he was being tested by a certain greater force. His will was constantly tempered like steel that tempered to become a sharp blade.
What's even worse, he got another ridiculous reward.
Sex Mastery.
Unlike the previous rewards that he needed to explain, this reward was straight to the point. While his skill in this area was awesome, by adding this reward, his skill in that area had become an abyssal.
All of his women had become a defenseless lamb that could only writhe and cry under his mercy.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.
Yet somehow, he wanted them to call him the "Conqueror."
"What's with that expression? It's disgusting," Yukinoshita suddenly said.
"..."
Shishio looked at Yukinoshita and thought that this girl was really uncute!
