Kaoru PoV-
Presently I was taking a hot bath. I always do after my shift ends, this was necessary since my body is stiff. While I was enjoying my time relaxing in the bathtub, suddenly an image of Junichi appeared in my mind.
I was in a daze while thinking of him, then suddenly I realized what I was doing and blushed.
"What the hell! Why would I think about Junichi?! I think I'm going crazy!"
I drowned half of my face into the water, then I continued,
"Does he think that I'm beautiful? It wasn't a lie right?"
I was suddenly concerned about something unimportant, but I can't stop it...
"Sigh...when did I become insecure?"
Then I made bubbles using my mouth.
While I was playing with bubbles, my phone suddenly rang. I slowly took my phone and looked at it.
"Huh? Who is this?"
Someone was calling me through Line, and the number was something I wasn't familiar with...so I was hesitating whether to answer It or not, but after a moment I decided to accept It.
"Hello? Who is this?"
The other party was silent for a moment before they answered.
"It's me, Junichi."
Hearing that, I almost dropped my phone in the hot tub, but luckily I was fast to catch it, and I sigh in relief, then I suddenly became nervous for some reason.
"What's...your purpose for calling me?"
This is so dumb, why am I nervous? It's just Junichi! He's nothing more than a childhood friend!
"Well...I never really got to thank you properly for recommending me a job,"
So It was about that, well at least he had a proper reason, then I replied,
"It's fine you don't need to really."
It's a lie, I actually wanted something from him, but I don't know exactly what It is, this is driving me crazy.
"Okay, then I'll hang up now."
Hearing that, all of sudden I snapped.
"Hold on, bastard! Aren't you supposed to say I insist or something? Don't you know how to please a woman?! Take me on a date or somethin- ah…!"
I suddenly blurted out my desire, my face started to turn red as I said that, I can't believe It! Why would I ever say that?!
"Okay."
"Eh?"
"I'll take you on a date, but It can't be tomorrow. What about next week? After I get my first salary, let's go on a date."
I suddenly couldn't believe what I was hearing. I don't know how to answer this, so I was left dazed for a minute.
"Hello? No one is answering? Anyway, just be ready when the time comes, I'll hang up later!"
Dot~ dot~
The call ended, but I was still dazed a moment later. I finally realized what happened and I couldn't help but scream.
"Kyaaaa! What kind of development is this?!"
After that, I was scolded by my mother because I was too loud, and the neighbors complained that night I couldn't sleep at all because of the 'date' that we are about to do next week.
PoV End-

I finished calling Kaoru, but for the love of God why can't she be direct? Well I know It might be embarrassing to ask someone on a date, but It wasn't that hard If you just get used to it.
And for the record I already asked many girls to go on a date with me, I don't know the exact number but I'm pretty sure It's less than a hundred. Once you do It you'll get a skill called 'Thick skin bastard' which is useful every time.
Just so you know, dating and getting a girl as your girlfriend is different. If you date It doesn't mean you're a couple, It just means that the girl got interested in you even the slightest, and the date is the battlefield.
Although I have asked many girls on a date, half declined and half accepted and miraculously 1 became my girlfriend, that's why you shouldn't give up, but even though I have a girlfriend at that time I didn't get to taste the forbidden fruit even until we broke up.
So yes, I'm a virgin but so what?! I might as well lose It in this world now that I have this cheat. I'd like to get a girlfriend or two and taste the forbidden fruit.
No matter how many people say It's good to have sex, you'll never really know until you experienced It yourself.
"Should I go for Kaoru…?"
She was the most likely to be my girlfriend because she had the current highest affection with me. If you just exclude Miya, aside from Kaoru I never really interacted with anyone that much aside from her.
But it was still the first day, so I shouldn't rush my decision. I still have plenty of time.
"Yawn* I feel sleepy~ I'm going to sleep for today…"
I slowly closed my eyes and started sleeping.
Meanwhile, the clock turned 12:00 Midnight, and suddenly a screen appeared in front of me, however, I wasn't able to see It because I'm sleeping.
[ A Special Quest has arrived! ]

[ The countdown starts now 59:59 ]
[ 59:58 ]

"N-"
"Ni-"
I slowly opened my eyes and said.
"Nigga wat?"
I was still half-asleep, but I know Miya is waking me up because It's almost time for school.
"What do you mean Niga wattu?"
"Nothing, just reminding you. It's not racist to say that word If you don't have ill intentions and you must not be white or It will be racist."
I was talking nonsense early in the morning.
"????"
Miya was even more confused, but after a moment she said,
"I don't know what you're saying but you should be ready! It's almost time for school!"
"Alright, give me a minute."
"Okay, then I will wait for you downstairs."
After she left, I finally could see everything clearly and in front of me was a status screen, not just anyone's status screen but mine!
