My love index is at its maximum.

Just as Tsukasa Tazaki was about to lean in, her snow-white, delicate fingers poked his forehead and gave his head a playful shove.

"Tazaki-san~" Shimamoto Kana sighed, and said resentfully, "Tell me honestly, how many girls have you fooled?"

"Only four or five, I guess," Tsukasa Tazaki said uncertainly.

"Are you very proud?"

"No, right now I really want to lie to Kana Shimamoto!"

Kana Shimamoto retorted irritably, "I'm not that easily fooled."

"What if one day everyone hates me..."

Tsukasa Tazaki stroked her cheek and slowly asked, "Will the teacher take me in?"

Why do you say that?

"Sigh... I just chatted with Ninomiya for a while."

"What did they say?"

"Hmm... I promised her that no matter how far I go, I will find her and bring her back."

"Do you think you can't do it?"

"No, I just feel it's unfair to her."

"Indeed, not only to her, but to me too!" Shimamoto Kana grabbed his ear hard and angrily questioned, "You just made a promise to a girl, and now you're trying to seduce me. What do you take me for?"

Tsukasa Tazaki gritted his teeth and endured it without uttering a sound.

His silence only intensified Kana Shimamoto's feelings of grievance.

She kicked a few times with her feet, then rolled over into her own bed, her voice slightly choked with sobs coming from under the covers.

"Simply whitewashing the situation is the worst approach, Tsukasa Tazaki. Please take some responsibility!"

Tsukasa Tazaki lifted her blanket and rolled in himself.

"terribly sorry……"

Clinging to her, Tsukasa Tazaki said guiltily, "Even though it's always me who causes trouble, I always think of you as a safe haven and ask you to help me share my worries. I'm sorry."

"Get down," Shimamoto Kana scolded, her face flushed.

"I won't do it again." Tsukasa Tazaki leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Can I be reckless just this once?"

The blanket was very small, and the boy's handsome face was only two centimeters away from me.

Even in complete darkness, you could see the light in his eyes.

Kana Shimamoto blushed and her heart pounded uncontrollably. She asked in a low voice, "How dare you be so insolent?"

"Like this~"

Just as Tsukasa Tazaki was about to kiss her, the door clicked open.

Immediately afterward, as the lights came on, Kuriyama Sakura's voice rang out: "Shimamoto-sensei, going to bed so early... Ta! Saki! Tsukasa! You! Go! To! Die!!"

Kana Shimamoto froze, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "...This is a misunderstanding!"

“I know everything,” Kuriyama Sakura replied coldly.

The married teacher's head went blank for a second. She pushed Tazaki Tsukasa away and burrowed into the blankets like an ostrich.

Tazaki Tsukasa experienced being "beheaded" again, and then Kuriyama Sakura grabbed him by the ear and threw him out the door.

Actually...

Sleeping in the corridor is quite nice; you open your eyes to a sky full of stars—how romantic is that?

There are just a lot of mosquitoes.

Oh right, it's the end of the month. I should take stock of the available funds and clear out the inventory in the online store.

[Shiori Ninomiya's current stock price: 330]

Current holdings: 7442 shares

My little darling, I guess there won't be any progress between us anytime soon. To become stronger so I can protect you in the future, I'll have to sell you off for now.

Are all units to be sold?

[Shiori Ninomiya's stock holdings have been liquidated, with funds received amounting to 2455860.]

After shutting down the system, Tsukasa Tazaki leaned against a pillar, counting stars and swatting mosquitoes.

Time passed very slowly; about a century later, the system popped up a notification.

【Ding】

[July loan deductions: 330000]

Current available funds: 1936030

There are more than 190 million yuan in available funds remaining.

Tsukasa Tazaki was very angry.

The first person in the first row always posts something inappropriate!

Isn't this clearly a biased view of the host?

Skip the first one.

[Cooking (Profession) → Cooking (Master)]

[Current Skill Experience: Max]

After closing the interface, Tazaki Tsukasa clicked into the secondary trading market with anticipation.

[Perception Enhancement (Passive): 500000]

[Superb Skill Upgrade Ticket (1): 1000000]

Let's introduce them one by one.

[Superior Skill Upgrade Ticket: Upgrades an active skill that has reached the (Master) level to the (Superior) level. (Friendly reminder: You only have one life, so don't think that being Superior means you're invincible!)]

Both products are excellent.

Tsukasa Tazaki was very satisfied.

The only problem was... He rubbed his eyes hard.

After counting exactly how many zeros there were, he couldn't help but slap himself hard across the face.

"Snap!"

It hurts.

I'm not dreaming.

Haha... I was rich for only a few hours, and now my wallet is almost empty again.

I'm so happy.
