You can catch a ride; Yuto naturally felt at ease, so he didn't reject the other person's kindness. As for Yosaburo's unsettling gaze, Yuto simply ignored it.
After wedging his second-hand bicycle into the other person's trunk, Yuto unceremoniously settled into the passenger seat.
Observing a girl in the driver's seat, who was still not tall enough to reach the steering wheel, Yuto couldn't determine if she came to protect him or if he ended up protecting her.
"Oh, so you're a student from Fuyucho Secondary School. In a way, I'm your senior."
Learning that Yuto graduated from the same school as her, the girl appeared to regain some confidence and tried to reclaim a bit of dignity as a senior in front of Yuto.
Unfortunately, her previous performance was embarrassing. Despite being a probationary police officer, her supposedly brilliant deductions were harshly criticized by the captain. Moreover, when Yuto lifted the white cloth earlier, Hinano instantly felt nauseous and vomited.
Now, seated next to him, this seemingly harmless young man not only maintained composure but also leisurely ate breakfast.
Yuto lived too far from school. Riding his old bicycle to school always made him late. This was his first time being driven, and the reason for not choosing a closer place to live was simply poverty.
Yes, as per the usual novel tropes, a transmigrator should at least live comfortably, if not prosperously. However, reality proved otherwise. In this world, things that existed in his previous world also existed here.
Formerly poor, he remained poor in this new world. His knowledge and experiences were practically useless.
Currently, Yuto's family consisted of a mother and a sister. His mother, due to health reasons, couldn't engage in physical labor. His sister, an elementary school student, couldn't be relied upon for help. Therefore, the responsibility of providing for the family fell on Yuto.
Comparatively, their situation was better than before. When he first transmigrated, the three of them were even thrown out and had nowhere to live.
The culprit was Yuto's estranged father, whom he had never met. If he ever encountered that cheap father outside, he vowed to beat him up.
This guy was simply a scumbag, only concerned with sowing his wild oats without taking responsibility. He enjoyed himself, ignoring the potential consequences.
Unfortunately, Yuto's human mother was still infatuated with the scumbag, constantly praising his virtues to Yuto and his sister.
Considering their facial features, Yuto and his sister, Ryuuki, were decent-looking. Looking at their mother, who was only slightly attractive, Yuto roughly understood why.
The scumbag must have been quite handsome, causing the lonely housewife to remain devoted to him even when left alone.
Yuto's sister was named Ryuuki, and like Yuto, she was a half-demon. However, unlike Yuto, who relied on the system to become stronger, Ryuuki had formidable demon powers from birth.
Although Yuto, through his efforts and the system's help, had surpassed his sister in strength over the years, he knew that without the transmigration advantage, Ryuuki would have been the clear protagonist, and he would be mere cannon fodder.
Yuto's mother, named Amami Tenshouin, was just a regular human. Probably because of this, after giving birth to Ryuuki with strong demon powers, she fell ill.
Name: Yuto Tenshouin
Race: Demon (Half-demon)
Demon Level: Intermediate
Demon Power Level: B level to A level (B level during the day, maximum A level at night)
Human Reputation: 200 points (A somewhat famous human)
Demon Reputation: 100 points (A relatively unknown little demon)
Mastered Skills: Monstrous Strength, Demon Sense, Intimidation, Half-Demon Transformation, Intermediate Swordsmanship, Keen Sense of Smell.
Monstrous Strength: A unique skill of demons, known for their terrifying strength among demons.
Intimidation: Originally high-ranking demons, being a half-demon caused a decrease in level. Still, you can intimidate demons with lower levels. Mostly ineffective, a small chance of demoralizing the opponent, and a tiny chance of making them submit.
Demon Sense: Despite being a half-demon, you still possess the power to sense demons.
Keen Sense of Smell: A sense of smell dozens of times more sensitive than an average person's.
Intermediate Swordsmanship: Possesses a certain foundation in swordsmanship, able to use various blades skillfully.
Half-Demon Transformation: Can only be used at night. When using this skill, your demon level rises to high, and your abilities are significantly enhanced. (Note: Using this skill will likely lead to loss of reason, relying solely on instinctive actions).
Looking at his attribute panel, Yuto felt quite confident about tonight's battle.
Although only a half-demon, demon blood was undeniably powerful. Even as a half-demon, Yuto inherited many skills, with only "Intermediate Swordsmanship" being self-trained over the years. The rest were inherent.
Of course, his original demon power level wasn't as high; it was a result of Yuto's efforts over the years.
As for "Calamity Demon," Yuto had killed it more than once. The reputation points he had were rewards from completing missions.
Why learn swordsmanship? Because tearing opponents with claws was too brutal. Cleaning the claws took a long time, not to mention the frequent blood splatters.
His mother often complained about Yuto becoming a troublemaker, fighting and coming home covered in blood. After that, Yuto learned some swordsmanship. It not only increased his strength but also disguised his activities.
As for his system abilities, Yuto currently knew only about the reputation points rewarded by missions, along with the lottery and exchange functions.
In short, this "reputation" was the main currency used by the system.
By consuming different amounts of reputation points, such as 100 points, 500 points, 1000 points, 5000 points, or even 10,000 points, Yuto could draw rewards of different levels.
This explained why his human reputation was only a hundred points more than his demon reputation, yet the evaluations were vastly different. It was because Yuto had previously used the lottery ability with human reputation, and the results were something he didn't want to dwell on.
As for the exchange function, there were currently only two items available in the system store. Every time Yuto looked at them, it was a painful reminder.
