The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life Chapter 148: Talking with Nishino-kun about our Current Situ

Nishino-kun and Rikka-chan arrive a few minutes later.

Wheres everyone else? Theyre helping out at the City Hall. Rikka and I were able to leave because its our break ti. Natsun, were you okay? I was worried. Rikka-chan hugs Ichinose-san as soon as she arrives and begins to rub her cheek against Ichinose-sans.

Ichinose-san protests with a flushed face.

R-Ricchan! Dont hug so suddenly without prior notice! Fine. Ill be hugging you right now, okay? Mugyu Thats not what I ant The two high school beauties deepen their friendship while ignoring the n.

Oh, but its more accurate to say that only one person is enjoying it.

Regardless, theyre really close.

Im sorry. Rikka can be annoying at tis. Why is Nishino-kun apologizing? Whenever she causes a problem, Im usually the one who apologizes. You have it tough. Im used to it. Nishino-kun reveals a bitter smile.

Was he dragged around by Rikka-chans whims when they were at school as well?

I can envision it in my head.

His smile appears sowhat lancholic.

For so reason, he looks like a working adult, even more so than .

Am I right to assu that the Evolution proceeded smoothly? Yes, as you can see. I spread my arms wide and make a spin.

Well, its not like anything has changed appearance-wise though.

Nishino-kuns expression is clearly asking, So what exactly changed? We chose an Evolutionary Path that maintains our original appearances. Nishino-kun and Aisaka-san, what do you guys think? Anything strange about us? Hmm.

Nishino-kun inspects and Ichinose-san.

Unable to bear all the attention, Ichinose-san turns away.

Her communication issue lives on even after evolving You wont throw up, right?

Please dont throw up, okay?

Theres nothing strange about you two. Yup. Are you any different? Ah, but I can feel that the atmosphere around onii-san is now much more oppressive and dense compared to before. Even for them, nothing seems to appear out of place.

As for what Rikka-chan said, it should be due to the improvent in my status and the changes in my occupations.

I feel like Ive beco quite strong.

You evolved into a Newtype, yes? From the outside, it doesnt look like theres any difference. Did sothing change? Yes.

Although Ive already explained everything via Mail, I reiterate about Newtypes and the other Evolutionary Paths.

With more than 10 Paths provided, it takes so ti for to finish explaining.

A little over 20% boost in status and the increase in potential? Thats quite vague, isnt it? Youre right, but I think it was for the best. I have no regrets about my decision.

But if Im being completely honest, its slightly no, really unfortunate that I didnt get to see Ichinose-san with cat ears.

Aside from that, I have no regrets.

Yup, no regrets.

Personally, I wouldve loved to see Natsun with cat ears. Ohhhh, Rikka-chan is speaking for .

Ricchan

Ah, sorry. Im just kidding. Dont stare at like that. Im getting a little scared. Muu

With puffed-cheeks, Ichinose-san playfully hits Rikka-chan.

Poka poka.

Kudou-san, the fact that you chose this Evolutionary Path ans that you are willing to continue working with us?

The two girls freeze upon hearing Nishino-kuns words.

All three pairs of eyes are concentrated on .

Thats right. Is that so thank God. Nishino-kun pats his chest in relief.

Ichinose-san and Rikka-chan also look reassured.

Its not like I can vanish now that I have revealed the existence of my Item Box. Indeed, I had told Nishino-kun and his friends about my Item Box after the battles had ended.

To be more precise, Nishino-kun inquired about it.

You have the Item Box skill, am I right?
