I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

For some reason, Tenkuji Yu suddenly started laughing like Kim Jong-un, prompting Sora to mutter behind him, "Has Yu finally broken down...?"

Even Yuu Tenkuji couldn't clearly explain his feelings at that moment.

He just felt that even if there were only two people, even if they were just chatting about pointless nonsense...

It feels so good to be home.

Chapter 45 His World Was Made Beautiful

Imitation crispy roasted pork, transformed egg rice, and Sichuan peppercorn roasted mackerel with cabbage puree.

It comes from the food-themed manga "Spring... Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma". Yuu Tenkuji only remembers the name, not the recipe, so theoretically he can't make it.

However, systems exist precisely to repeatedly test and refine theories.

One of the many rewards from the Snow Mine is the "Cooking (Master Level)" skill, which not only transforms him into a top-notch chef, but also allows him to materialize recipes from his mind, regardless of whether he has cooked or eaten them before.

No need for much detail; as long as the name and origin are known, the system will generously transmit the recipe into his mind, without the need for traditional reward points or points redemption.

Unfortunately, most of the dishes in "Cooking Master Boy" require perfect "cooking" skills, and some dishes that require specific physical qualities and ingredients cannot be made simply by meeting the skill requirements.

However, Yuu Tenkuji is not going to participate in the cooking competition, nor will he try to save the girl with anorexia; if he's cooking for Sora, a proficient level would probably be enough, let alone an expert level.

Therefore, this meal was filled with Yuuki Tenkuji's gratitude towards the system and Yukino Yukinoshita.

Great!

He has gained another skill that can support his younger sister, so he no longer needs to go out and hand out flyers!

Although he earned more than half a month's salary for an ordinary chef in just one day, he didn't need to learn to cook at all; he could live off his wife.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Picking up a piece of fish, Tenkuji Yu watched with a smile as Kasugano Sora wolfed down her rice at an unprecedented speed.

Her usually cool face was flushed, and she kept exhaling hot breaths as she chewed, seemingly too weak to respond to him.

That thin white dress, of course, didn't burst.

After swallowing the egg and rice in her mouth, Qiong pursed her oily, incredibly tempting pink lips, glanced at him, and hummed awkwardly twice.

"Well, it's delicious... I hope you can maintain this level of quality in the future."

"of course."

"That's good." Qiong looked down at the bowl, and the thought of being able to eat such delicious food every day in the future made her grin happily.

But she paused immediately, her expression gradually returning to indifference, even becoming serious and solemn.

'Oh no.'

'If Yutian always cooks this delicious food, my appetite will definitely increase dramatically. Forget about losing my appetite for potato chips; if I gain weight…'

You need to go out and exercise!

Kasugano Sora's two most hated things in life are being separated from her brother and exercising!

Thinking of this, the chopsticks in her hand trembled slightly. Looking at the seemingly shimmering egg rice bowl in front of her, she couldn't seem to scoop up a single bite of rice from this devil's abyss.

"What's wrong?"

Unaware of the girl's complicated feelings, Yuu Tenkuji lifted her head from the bowl and looked strangely at Kasugano Sora, who was standing there motionless.

"Can't eat anymore?"

"..." A conflicted look appeared in her eyes. Kasugano Sora struggled with her reason for a long time before suddenly asking in a low voice:

"Yu, if I get fat, will you hate me?"

"I wish you would get fat!" Yuu Tenkuji answered without hesitation, reaching out to tug at her soft, smooth cheek, revealing a doting smile.

"Silly girl, the more you eat the food I made for you, the happier I am."

"Besides, what kind of older brother would dislike his younger sister just because she's gained weight? That doesn't happen in Japan, and it certainly doesn't happen in our family."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then said, "Qiong, I know you don't like going out. I'll buy a treadmill someday... no, I'll put the Ring Fit Adventure at home."

"If you're really unhappy with your weight, try using the Ring Fit Adventure while exercising; it should help you lose weight to some extent."

"...Is that settled?"

Kasugano Sora put down her chopsticks, ignoring the fact that he was pinching her cheek, and stared at him intently with watery eyes.

"Yes, it's settled."

Tenkuji Yu let go of his hand, but Sora grabbed it, placing her soft, delicate palm on the back of his hand, allowing him to press her large, warm palm against half of his cheek and gently rub it twice.

Then, like a cat, I closed my eyes lazily and contentedly.

"...I take back what I said before."

Tenkuuji Yuu was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"If you use the same attitude you have towards me to deceive girls, you can get any girlfriend you want and have multiple relationships at the same time without any problem, right?"

"Hey, am I that kind of person...?" Sensing that her younger sister seemed to have some kind of misunderstanding about her, Tenkuji Yu couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

"Who knows~" Qiong opened her eyes, her light-colored eyes slightly smiling, put his hand down, and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again.

"Anyway, the only person Yu can treat like this is me!"

She seemed to smile smugly.

Yuu Tenkuji didn't refute, withdrew his hand, and continued eating his meal, casually asking the question.

"What if it happens in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiong slammed her hand on the rim of the bowl, her voice inexplicably cold.

"I want to finish my meal, and let's not talk about that kind of thing now."

They change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book...

"Row."

Tenkuji Yu sighed, quietly put the food into her mouth, and stopped talking.

Being too good to her younger sister and devoting all her love and care to her will inevitably cause problems sooner or later—Yuuki Tenkuji knows this, but she is always unwilling to change.

Even if the sibling relationship becomes distorted, even if Qiong becomes overly dependent on him, he will never let her be sad or lonely.

This is the vow made by Yuu Tenkuji, and his world is beautiful because of it.

"So full—"

Ge You slumped on the sofa, while Kasugano Sora let out a somewhat painful groan.

She touched her noticeably swollen belly, bit her lip slightly, and glared at Tenkuji Yu with a look that was both reproachful and angry.

"It's all your fault, Yu. You have to take responsibility!"

"Okay!"

Looking at his adorable younger sister lying on the sofa, so frail and delicate, as if she could be pushed over at any moment, Tenkuji Yu revealed a wicked smile that seemed to be eager to try.

"Until the Ring Fit Adventure arrives, I'll take you running. I'll keep running as long as you keep going, until we lose weight, okay?"

"Not good at all. Humph!"

Kasugano Sora punched the black rabbit in frustration and decided to ignore him for half an hour.

Tenkuji Yu shrugged and walked upstairs as if it were a routine.

After a hard day's work, it's time for the long-awaited confirmation of results.

Today, his relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita made a decisive progress—he officially passed her "boyfriend test" and demonstrated his own strength, making her take him seriously, rather than seeing him as a toy she could play with at any time.

According to the mission prompts, the closer you get to Yukino Haruno's ideal of a boyfriend, and the more you do things that conform to the behavior of a boyfriend, the more and better rewards you will receive.

Besides, making her happy and satisfied seems to be a way to mine resources.

Putting aside the question of what level of achievement is needed to complete this task, the reason why Tenkuji Yu received so many rewards today is precisely because he happens to fit Yukino Yukinoshita's ideal boyfriend, and the two have achieved a balance in terms of differences in status and ability.

Just like mining with a diamond pickaxe with an efficiency of 1000, if the start goes smoothly, the progress will be very fast, and the rewards will be incredibly generous.

In total, Yuu Tenkuji gained from her—

"Money: 213519 Japanese Yen"

Physical fitness: Physical condition and willpower have improved somewhat.

"Status: Muscle Control (Permanent), Presence Weakened (Status) once, Body Full of Liver (once), Walking Hormones (once)."

Special: Level UP (once)

"Skill:……"

Chapter Forty-Six: Tears Shot Out

Skills are divided into two categories: permanent and one-time use.

The permanent skills are: Massage (Proficient Level), High Jump (Proficient Level), Study (Proficient Level), Billiards (Expert Level), Table Tennis (Expert Level), Acting (Expert Level), Archery (Expert Level), Throwing (Expert Level), and Cooking (Expert Level).

The one-time skills, excluding those already used, include: Short Story Writing (Advanced Level) x2, RAP (Advanced Level); Makeup Techniques (Expert Level), Horse Riding (Expert Level), and Aikido (Expert Level).

The sheer variety of skills was dazzling. Looking at the long list of skills, Tenkuji Yu almost had a moment of dizziness—he hadn't expected that after only three days of having the system, he would suddenly be multi-talented and almost become a master of all professions.

Forget calling this system "Boyfriend System," let's just call it "All-Round Master Training System"! It's like fast-forwarding straight into an urban fantasy novel.

"Thank you for the generous gift from Yukino Yukinoshita... Thank you, rich lady, you're so generous."

He silently repeated this to himself, then turned his gaze back to the status bar.

Of the three one-time states, "weakened presence" is of unknown use, since he's not going to peep in the bathhouse; "full of liver" seems to allow him to focus on something for three days and three nights, but he doesn't know if there will be any side effects; "walking hormones" is simple and clear, it's just a virginity remover!

Just like with Shi○mian, he can try it sometime if he doesn't want to be a virgin anymore.

"But they're not very useful in practice..."

Yuu Tenkuji touched his chin, his brows furrowing slightly.
