"Thank you! Please come again!"
I wave back at the waitress of the ramen shop. I must say that this ramen shop serves great miso ramen. I went to this Ramen Shop after taking some money from the ATM. However, before I ate in this place, I fainted for a little bit.
The reason is that the number of money I have in my account is something that I would never have. Inside my account, there is sitting a whopping four billion and one million yen. I don't know if Yuka-san gave me the wrong card? But the Bank Book has my name in it instead of other people.
I will try to ask her tomorrow morning. For now, I will hold myself for spending all of the money I have.

*3rd POV*
In the village named Hinohara lived an older man around his seventy. His name is Homura Matsuo. In this village, he is known as the old man that sells school equipment for the students in this village. However, he has another identity that he didn't want the other to know.
"Oyabun."
"Come in."
He is the Godfather of the biggest Yakuza group in Tokyo. His group also touches on some of the neighborhood prefectures. While not the biggest group, they are one of the most feared in Japan.
The other group's main job is drug trade or extortion. In contrast, the Homura group's main job is assassination work and mercenary work. That is the reason why others fear the Homura group.
"What is it?"
"Oyabun, I come here to give you a report about the young master."
"Oh? Please tell me how Ryobe is doing. Is he still locking himself in the house and only going to school when the teacher calls him?"
"About that… He is changed."
"Oh? Please tell me how much he has changed."
Without saying anything, the black suit man takes out a folder from his suit and gives it to Matsuo, who begins to read all the files inside. When taking out the photo inside the folder, Matsuo widened his eyes and smiled a little bit.
"Are you a hundred percent sure about this?"
"Yes. Young master behavior for the last day showed an improvement as not only he began to work out, he also began to study hard in school. One of our men in school said that his grade is slowly increasing. However, he still did not trust the other easily as they verbally bullied him in the school."
"Good, that is good."
Ryobe has a special place inside Matsuo's heart. He still remembers the bright boy that wanted to catch his parents' attention, how he tries his hardest to get their attention but gets scolded by his parents instead of praise. He tries his hardest in school, he tries his hardest at home, but he still cannot get his parents to praise him.
Matsuo still remembers when he walks inside his son's house and sees Ryobe crying inside his room while muttering that he is useless and the reason why his parents never praise him is because of how useless he is.
Matsuo tries to talk to his son, but to his surprise and anger, his son Eiji says that he doesn't have time to take care of Ryobe. Eiji says that Ryobe should be big enough to take care of himself before walking toward his office once again.
Matsuo never felt so angry before, and he never thought that his own son is the one that made him so angry. The reason why Eiji has the position of CEO is because of his connection, and right now, Matsuo regrets giving him that status.
The same could be said to his Daughter-in-law Homura Yuna. Formerly known as Azumi Yuna. She never showed any affection toward little Ryobe when Ryobe touched the age of seven.
What makes Matsuo angrier than before, Eiji and Yuna have free time, but they are filled with worldly pleasure. Eiji will go to the club and drown himself in alcohol and women while Yuna is a gambling addict. Ironically, the place they usually go to is owned by Matsuo.
When he knows about this information, Matsuo immediately buys a house near Ryobe school and asks their parents to let him stay there. He doesn't want Ryobe to get verbally abused by his parents anymore. Matsuo also sent monthly money to Ryobe, hoping that it will give Ryobe a ray of hope that his parents still care for him.
Sadly that attempt is not working. Ryobe sees that money as a statement that he is getting kicked out of the house, and his parents do not love him anymore.
Matsuo wants to stay with Ryobe and take care of him, but sadly he can't do that. He doesn't want Ryobe to get targeted by the other Yakuza group that wants to usurp his power over Tokyo.
"And how about Eiji and Yuna"
"Sadly, they did not change even a little bit. They already forget about Ryobe and think that they don't have a son."
"Damn those useless idiots!
Matsuo takes a deep breath and looks at his lieutenant before saying.
"Keep your eyes on Eiji and Yuna. I don't want them to reveal the secret of my family without them knowing. While they don't know the real family business, the rival group will know about it when Eiji and his Wife say something that I don't want them to reveal."
"Of course, Oyabun."
"Also, I see the name of Akagawa Yuka in this file. I want all of the information about her and her family. I want the information about their family nine generations up and nine generations down."
"Yes!"
"Good. You are dismissed."
Matsuo takes another deep breath before looking at his backyard before saying.
"I guess I could go and see Ryobe… Yeah, let's do that."

I walk out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed. I don't like the feeling of my body after not getting a shower for two days. Not only my sweat, but the saliva of the zombie also makes my body stink. The only thing I can do to clean my body is using the water and towel I bought from the shop.
~Name: Homura Ryobe~
~Job: None~
~Level: 1 (9936/10000)~
~HP: 275/275(+15 from Equipment)~
~MP: 670/670~
~STR: 22 -> 25~
~VIT: 26 -> 28~
~INT: 66 -> 67~
~LCK: 10~
~TP: 73.260~
Almost leveling up. I try to level up by pushing deeper and deeper toward the boss tower, but when I see a dozen level four zombies charging at me and attacking me, I know that I need to immediately get out of the Dungeon.
I will definitely level up the next time I go to the dungeon. I don't know what will get every time I level up, but I'm excited to find out.
Anyway, I prepare some breakfast and also cook some food for my lunch. While I'm not a chef in my previous life, I know some recipes from the internet. I also read some recipes on the internet after doing some workout and trying it. While not the same level as a chef, I am confident that my food is good enough to make people compliment my food… Maybe.
I shake my head and begin to prepare some food for today's breakfast. Right now, I want some simple breakfast items. So, I boil some water, place some eggs inside the pot, make some toast and spread some Kaya jam on the bread, and then place a good chunk of unsweetened butter on top of the jam. I then take out the egg from the pot and crack it open and pour the soft boiled egg inside a small bowl.
This is a Kaya Toast. A popular breakfast food from Singapore. I love this dish. In the past, I ate every single day for a month. Not only is it a delicious dish, but it is also easy to cook.
Anyway, I wear my school uniform and take my bag. I open up my door and ready to go to school. When I walk away from the gate, I hear someone calling my name.
"Ryobe-kun!"
I look at my back and see Yuka-san waving at me.
"Good Morning, Yuka-san."
"Good morning! Ryobe-kun!"
I smile a little before saying.
"Are you waiting for me here?"
"En! I want to go to school with you!"
"Sure"
Yuka-san and I begin to walk toward the school together.
"Yuka-san"
"Yes?"
"The money that you give me is it really four billion and one million yen?"
"Yup~ The Jorogumo thread sold for four billion seven hundred million yen. We take some thread and six hundred million yen while the auction house takes a hundred million yen. Do you have any complaints about it? We will send you six hundred million if you want."
"No. I'm good with that. I'm just curious about the total money from selling the thread."
Four Billion yen is already enough for me.
"So, the one million yen is coming from the mana core?"
"Yup~."
"I see."
"Ne, Ryobe-kun?"
"Hmmm?"
"Can you teach me some magic? I know asking this question is considered a taboo among the magical community, but I wonder if you can teach me some basic magic?"
Teach you some magic? Girl, I can't even manipulate my mana.
"I'm sorry, but as you said, I cannot teach you my magic, but I can help you if you have anything you want to enchant."
"Ryobe-kun, You are an enchanter?!?"
"Well, I'm just a beginner, but I think I can do a pretty good job."
"Well, a beginner enchanter is a rare job, so even if you are still a beginner, your job is important in defending us from a demon."
Really? Is enchanter really that rare? I need to know about the other side of the world other than the mundane world.
"If you have any weapon or armor you want to enchant, I can do it for you for free. Take this as a favor you did to me for selling the thread and also when you buy the mana core."
"Really?!? Then…"
"Woah, Woah. Do you want to take out your weapon here? In the open?"
I can see her face begin to change from her usual color to a tomato red.
"Ah… I forget about that."
"See me on the rooftop when the lunch hour begins."
"Yes"
I smile a little when I see her humming an unknown song while walking toward the school.
What a troublesome girl.
