After leaving the bar, Shin was about to head ho. Tonight, he planned to check out the status of the third mission world, as well as the situation in the JoJo world.
And then there was the Dragon Ball world, which he both loved and hated. He wondered if there was any way to save ti on traveling in that world—it was pure tornt.
On his way to the Shimokitazawa subway station, he noticed a strange figure at the street corner.
It appeared to be an odd person wearing a pink tracksuit, carrying a guitar case that seed even larger than her. Judging by her staggering steps, she looked utterly exhausted.
"Weird character."
Shin didn't pay much attention and continued into the subway station.
…
"Welco back."
When he arrived ho, Sayu Ogiwara, dressed in pajamas, ca to greet him.
"Want a bath? I'll get the hot water running."
"Mm, thanks."
Shin nodded, slipping on his slippers as he entered, taking a mont to survey the room.
It was clear the place was much cleaner than when he had left that morning; Sayu had evidently given it a thorough cleaning.
The sight of her running to greet him just now was sowhat reminiscent of a newlywed wife, though he wasn't sure if Sayu herself was aware of it.
But given what had happened last night, it felt like a natural progression.
After a short while, Sayu ca out of the bathroom, smiling at him.
"The bath is ready; go on in."
"Mm."
Shin grabbed so fresh clothes and headed toward the bathroom, asking along the way, "Are you okay on money? Need to give you so more?"
Having just brought Kiryu's organization under control today, he could easily get funds from him if needed.
And, assuming things went as planned, Kiryu would likely continue expanding his influence, making things a lot more convenient for Shin in the future.
"No need, I still have so left."
Sayu quickly waved her hands, blushing as she smiled.
At this point, she hadn't been away from ho long and hadn't yet encountered the harsher side of society. eting Shin and receiving his care made her genuinely happy.
…
After his bath, Shin turned on his computer as usual and logged into the ga, while Sayu sat on the bed, playing on her phone.
Initially, he had planned for her to use the second bedroom, but after so hesitation, Sayu opted to sleep in the sa bed as him.
Since she had no objections, Shin naturally didn't mind either; this bedroom was clearly going to beco a shared one.
Luckily, his bed was large enough to fit them both comfortably.
Angel of Healing: "Oh? You're back? How was your date with the girl?"
The mont Shin logged into the ga, a private ssage popped up from a familiar userna, making him wonder if this guy really watched his log-in ti that closely.
Zuke: "h, nothing special. How's your part-ti job?"
Although he'd spent the day with Yukino Yukinoshita, most of the afternoon had been dedicated to kendo training, so they hadn't had much chance to talk.
Of course, he would love to spend more ti with a cute girl, and Yukino was undoubtedly a beautiful young lady, though he felt her chest was sowhat lacking. But her face? No complaints there.
That said, Shin wasn't the type to abandon his plans just to pursue a girl, nor was he keen on actively seeking out Yukino's sharp tongue.
Angel of Healing: "The café barely has any custors. I just sit there on my phone most of the ti."
Zuke: "Surprised the manager hasn't fired you yet. I'd love to see just how lenient your boss is."
He knew that Angel of Healing had picked up a part-ti job over the weekend, but hearing about this level of slacking made him feel a bit sorry for the unknown manager.
Zuke: "So what's the plan for the team today? Are we raiding?"
Angel of Healing: "Of course! The devs released a new event, and the weekly mission is to beat a specific high-difficulty dungeon. I wouldn't want to tackle it without you!"
In their online gaming team, Shin was one of the few who didn't rely on pay-to-win and instead excelled through skill, so Angel of Healing definitely wanted him around for the raid.
However, those days of not spending might be over. With money no longer an issue, he could consider indulging in so pay-to-win tactics.
Suppressing his spending urge for so long, he felt excited just thinking about it.
With visions of future in-ga purchases, Shin and his online friends had a relaxing night of gaming, unwinding completely.
Thanks to his combat experience boosting his reflexes, Shin's in-ga skills had advanced several levels. No detail escaped his notice.
If only his ability to sense "Ki" worked on electronic components, he could've taken his gaplay even further.
"Too bad—if I could enter JoJo's Part 4, I'd love to get my hands on the Stand 'Red Hot Chili Pepper' that can manipulate electricity."
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but recall a minor villain from JoJo's Part 4, Akira Otoishi, whose Stand "Red Hot Chili Pepper" could control electricity.
In the manga's 90s setting, it might not have seed particularly powerful, but in a world full of electronic devices, it would be a formidable weapon.
Red Hot Chili Pepper could even integrate itself into a TV screen, demonstrating precision control over electricity—a lethal ability in today's world, almost like a physical hacker.
"Sha, though. The JoJo world is already completed, so I'm not sure what it'll beco next… I guess I'll find out when I go to sleep."
Several hours later, Shin turned off his ga.
"Going to bed?"
Sitting on the bed with her phone, Sayu imdiately looked over at him.
"Yeah, it's about ti."
He shut down his computer and walked over to the bed, noticing Sayu's intent gaze.
"What? Got sothing you want to do?"
"…"
Sayu didn't respond; she just pouted, seeing the teasing grin at the corner of his mouth.
"You know exactly what I want to do."
It was clear that, after her first experience with him, this teenage girl had started to enjoy their closeness.
With a soft chuckle, Shin pulled her into his arms and rolled onto the bed.
It seed like his entry into the mission world would be delayed a bit tonight…
