"So. How about it? Want to become my boyfriend? So that I could show off in my team.".
"No. I don't know what's the deal with you but I won't. And never be your boyfriend. Then. Get out."
"But! I love you so much!"
"Why?"
"Because you defeated me. Because you're the only person that defeated me. I just wanted to be happy with the person who defeated me."
"No. Never."
"Why? What's wrong with you?"
"Get out of here."
"But!"
"One last time. Get out."
"Fine." She gets out of the room while puffing her cheeks.
"What was that woman thinking?"
"Um... Takao. Why did you reject her? I mean. She's beautiful. She's almost perfect."
"Yeah. But I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Because. I'm kind of obsessed with a single woman. And if I would have a girlfriend. I wouldn't choose anyone unless it's her."
"Then, where is she?"
"Far away. She's far away and even if I'm close to her. It feels like it's impossible to have her."
"Why is that? I mean. You're strong. Have that... Magic. You know."
"Yeah. I understand that. But... It doesn't matter for her, I guess."
"Really? Then. That is sad... But that's enough. For me. I only wanted to confess to Jade and have a happy and peaceful life with her."
"That's a nice dream. So. Go ahead and fulfill it."
"Yeah. By the way. Let's sleep."
It's been a whole day. You're just one day in here and lots of things already happened."
"Yeah. It's truly a long day."
"Yeah. Let's sleep."
"Actually... I never get tired. And I don't feel sleepy."
"What?"
"Yeah. You heard it right. I don't need to rest."
"Oh fine. I will sleep on my bed now."
"Yeah. Maybe I will head outside first. It's kind of boring watching you sleep for the whole night, I guess."
"Yeah. It would be really boring. Then. Take care!"
Takao took his phone from his pocket which is with him since coming here.
"Let's take a picture somewhere."
And he heads outside.
He managed to take pictures of many things. Including a truly magnificent fountain at the center of the city.
After then. He took twenty pieces of gold coins, put it on his pocket, and dropped the pouch. He did it since he doesn't want to suddenly have something in the real world. He just wanted to see if these gold coins could be sold on Earth. As before the pouch hit the ground.
"Migrate."
The scenery turned white.
When he awakens. He heard a thud. Apparently. The ball he threw earlier hit the ground.
"Time really is halted."
His mom then entered the room.
"Son? What's wrong?"
"Umm... Nothing. Mom."
"Well. It's currently 7:00 PM. Are you gonna sleep now?"
"Maybe mom. I'm kind of... Tired after all."
He does really feel tired a bit and wanted to sleep now.
Until then. He fell into a deep slumber.
5:00 AM. He has woken up really early and it's still dark outside
He heads to the kitchen table and took one gold coin from his pocket.
He looked at it. Apparently, it has an artistic aspect of it.
It has strange letters nobody could read. But he mysteriously could. Despite not knowing what language it is.
Those inscribed letters are on all coins from copper to gold. He's not sure if the platinum plate is different since he hasn't seen it before.
"Son? You're too early."
"Ah. Yeah."
"What is that?"
His mother saw the gold coin on his hand.
"Is that a toy?"
"Ahh... Haha, yeah. Kind of."
And he hurriedly put it back in his pocket. Luckily the gold coins didn't make a sound clinging together.
He passed the time watching a bit of television. Since it's early, so he is watching the News.
8:00 AM
He gets readied for school. He ate, took a bath, and all the necessary things and left riding his bike.
He arrived in school and didn't do anything else. And head directly in the classroom.
His seat is beside a window on his left and Aki is on the right of the first row.
The time went by for all subjects to come. He couldn't actually say even "Hi" to her. He's left without anything to think of about what to do to get her. He really loves her a lot. He really wanted her for all his life just like how Martin wanted his love to be with him forever.
The only thing he could think of is to sell these gold. He thought that maybe she doesn't like him because he's not rich like her. Although all people here are commonly rich just like her.
After all. He's just poor that manage to get scholarship due to his genius-level intellect.
And he actually currently has 147 IQ.
3:18 PM
The final class ended and they got dismissed.
"Don't forget your homework students!"
Said by their male teacher.
After then. Takao heads to the convenient store where which he is working.
"Oh, Takao. It's your time now." Said by one of his workmates.
Takao only talks to them because of their job. If they are not workmates he wouldn't have talked to him.
"Yeah. You're going back home right?"
"Yeah. Please take care of here."
"Yes. Careful on your way home."
At least nobody knows who he really is here. Even among his workmates.
Takao's job rotates on the counter and arranging the items. His job is really not that tiring. And it's forty thousand yen per month. ( More than 370 USD)
He gets readied and switched to his work uniform
He heads to the counter since there's a customer.
"A thousand yen, Mr."
"Yes. Here."
After his work which finished at around 6:52 PM.
He heads to a mall with his bike.
7:16 PM
He arrives at the parking lot and parked his bike there and heads to the entrance.
After coming inside. He searched where a jewelry shop is.
After locating it. He heads to a receptionist.
He talked to the female staff.
"Excuse me. I wanted to show something. I wanted to know it's price. It's my grandfather's lost collection and I retrieved it a week ago. Please may you take a look?" Of course about the grandfather is a bluff. They are poor after all.
"Yes sir. May I see it?"
He took from his bag a single gold coin which he put there before heading to school and gave it to her. He could be seen as polite despite being sadistic. A sadist that is hiding behind an angelic face.
After appraising the item. The staff replied.
"Sir. You're in luck. We asked the manager about it. How about selling this to us? Due to it being pure gold and also having 60 grams on weight plus the artistic value. Though we didn't know what language is inscribed on it. We could give you 350,000 yen for this piece. Do you want it to be deposited on your bank account?"
Takao's bank account is opened a year ago. And there's only 70,000 yen has been saved in it. Though it's been sitting for a while.
"350,000 yen?"
"Yes."
"Just for that piece?"
"Yes. If you have more. We would be glad to buy it!"
"I actually have twenty pieces here. It's from my grandfather's collection after all. But maybe I would sell just ten of it."
"Then. We would buy it!"
3.5 Million. Deposited.
