After working another day, Itsuki was able to add another 2 to 3 thousand words to the project of his recreational sword art online again.
He felt drained from the activity and chose to go back to sleep when he realized it was getting late. However, because of his workload, he was also feeling very hungry, so he went to get something to eat.
Ultimately, the temperature in Oedo City was quite low, and it was still early in April. Itsuki breathed out warm air to keep his hand warm, but the brisk wind was making him feel as though he was trying in vain and that he ought to have worn some thick clothing before venturing outside.
His body shuddered as he continued to walk and muttered, 'Really, it is really hard to see stars in this city.'
This city was full of bustling people and cars, even though the nighttime never felt empty and was filled with constant activity, unlike ruler areas and underdeveloped areas, which have clean air to breathe and few cars.
'This city remind me off the city I lived in my previous life.' With a clear memory of traveling to Japan for work, Itsuki then quickened his pace and kept gazing at the sakura trees that resembled those from his past life. He also remembered enjoying dishes prepared with sakura season in the past.
As he remembered that the convenience store was extremely warm inside, he sprinted toward it and quickly picked up speed to take advantage of the heater.
After 5 minutes of running, Itsuki finally arrived at the convenience store. He remembered how Mizuha could also be working at this moment and decided to buy something. Though his body had perspired a little as a result of his running, the system had once again bestowed upon him another blessing.
[Quest: Have physical relationship with one of the side-female lead.]
[Female-lead Description: Tachibana Hinata]
[Current Mind Condition: Irritated]
Itsuki was confused about why someone who was irritated would like to have sex with someone unknown. Not to mention, this was the first quest of its kind he had received.
However, upon further reflection, it has only been 4 or 5 days, and he has never left his house, so that may be the reason he has not yet triggered any quests until now.
"Welcome!" Itsuki was surprised to see how animated the counter staff's voice sounded, and upon closer inspection, she saw a plump man wearing a courteous smile.
Even with the shadow of a dark circle around his eye, Itsuki could tell he might be one of those guys who gets bullied and beaten up by others.
"Hey there, buddy!" He was surprised when Itsuki greeted him casually and nodded his head with a smile, although it looked rather funny.
Itsuki then walked toward the food sections. He had to acknowledge that the convenience stores in this country were really stocked with packaged food.
However, he was finding it difficult to choose the right food because of the wide range of items being sold there, so he moved toward the sweet corner to get one for his sister.
At that moment, Itsuki felt the cold air blowing in from the outside and glanced at the beer selection. Since he was now eighteen, he was also permitted to drink, but he refrained from influencing Mizuha.
After leaving the convenience store, Itsuki grabbed his food and headed toward a park that appeared to be entirely deserted but had plenty of benches and other seating options for enjoying food—perfect for him right now.
'How can I find Hinata Tachibana.' His thoughts were circling around that quest; after all, it would be a lie if he were to say that he was not tempted by the system quest, being a virgin in previous lives.
Furthermore, he was aware that he would undoubtedly receive a reward in the form of Lp or other items, such as more advanced skills, even if there was no mention of one in the quest tab.
'Hmm, Tachibana Hinata! Irritated, have physical touch. All of these seems to be from one of the hanime, from my previous life.' Perhaps because of his increasing skill, Itsuki was beginning to remember details from his past life.
'Ahh! It is not like this is a purely romantic hentai anime; the protagonist is actually a really dumb but nice -type.'
This type of protagonist greatly irritated Itsuki, even though Itsuki was a thousand times more intelligent than that idiotic protagonist. It was because of this that Itsuki was unsure of his ability to locate Tachibana Hinata, as he could not recall the story with clarity.
'I just took glimpse of the story and did not follow it to the end, so how would I recall first meeting of Hinata and that protag.'
Itsuki was eating, and while he was concentrating, he failed to notice that one particular girl was staring at him from the side. Her eyes were fixed on Itsuki.
She was Tachibana Hinata!
'Though she must be stupid to fall in love with that idiot.' Itsuki laughed, since he did not hold back his contempt for the ridiculous notion of falling in love because he is kind, and he did not particularly like the anime's setting.
'He is that brat; I am sure I saw him smirk when he called me an idiot!' Because her sister was so intelligent and skilled at practically everything, Hinata found her annoying, and as a result, she had many friends but also a few boyfriends.
Thanks to that, she is super annoying, to the point that she really wishes to leave that home. Until recently, she started to hear voices, although they only appeared occasionally.
Even though they were brother and sister—albeit not by blood—they were still living together, but even in those voices, the owners were acting completely inappropriately and flirting with one another.
[Huh! [Let him be, after all, what he said was not wrong, falling for that kind of guy is really stupid.]
Hinata looked at Itsuki and shook her head.
'Then I have to make sure that idiot like that won't even touch a finger of mine. But what about my bet with my sister?' She was walking when her leg stumbled on the slick surface, almost giving way.
'Yee! Kya!!!' She yelled in a ladylike manner, and as Itsuki turned to face her, he saw a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Hinata Tachibana, a character he was familiar with from the anime; after all, she was a well-liked girl among hanime fans.
'Oh, she looked cute!' Itsuki thought inside his mind, but for Hinata, she heard his inner voice loud and clear, making her blush as she glared at him.
'Yeah right! I should help her stand up in this situation.' "Sorry, I was just surprised. Are you alright? Let me help you."
