I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

His skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs all felt stronger than before... For some reason, Yuu Tenkuji always felt that the system was subtly turning him into a superman.

Could it be that the system is actually the key to dealing with the apocalypse, and we'll have to save the world on our own in the future?

Putting this nonsensical guess aside, Yuu Tenkuji put her things back in her room and went downstairs to start making dinner.

"Yu, why can't I smell that woman's scent on you? Do you two always maintain social distancing when you go out?"

Hearing Qiong's question, he casually replied, "I always clean myself up before I come back, so of course you can't smell it."

"...Did you get it at a hotel?"

"At our doorstep! Seriously, what are you thinking about all day long?" Yuu Tenkuji said irritably as she carried the dishes out. "Also, you don't like other people's smells coming into our house, right? Well, I'll clean up the smells before I introduce her to you."

"Yes, you did a great job. I won't be angry with you today." Qiong nodded in satisfaction, a light smile finally appearing on her little face.

The two started eating, but as Kasugano Sora ate, she noticed that her older brother's actions were a bit strange.

He wasn't focused on the delicious food; instead, he was holding food in one hand and tapping the screen with the other, as if he had seen something interesting, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Yu."

She paused, looked up from her phone, and gazed at him with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

"And then you asked me what was wrong..."

Clenching her chopsticks tightly, Kasugano Sora forced a kind smile and said in a low voice, word by word, "Just eat, don't get distracted by other things, okay?"

Hearing the threat in her words—"If you dare say no, I'll go back to my room and eat potato chips"—Tenkuji Yu could only nod obediently: "Of course."

Then, looking down, he sent a message to Yukinoshita Haruno in front of her: "My sister is angry, let's talk later."

"Hush...huh..."

Kasugano Sora closed her eyes and tried to take deep breaths, her small chest almost bursting with anger, before she slowly calmed down.

"Play games with me later."

She gave the order without further ado.

Tenkuji Yu shrugged and said nothing.

Perhaps feeling that the energy he always devoted to her was gradually shifting to other women, she became more clingy and willful than usual.

The same thing happened last time. I had just come back from a date and hadn't had much time to rest when Qiong rushed into my room with her PFP, forcing me to play Warcraft Hunter with her. If I didn't agree, I would be breaking the promises I had made to her.

Since she had put it that way, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't refuse—as long as he didn't play indecent games on his sister's computer in her room, and could enjoy warm family time with his sister, he was actually quite willing.

The atmosphere finally returned to peace. After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, Yuu played Warcraft in Sora's room for an hour before making up an excuse to go back to his own room.

"Hmph, then go back and continue your lovey-dovey moments with your little girlfriend! She's not going to leave you no matter what, so you can forget about your sister!"

Qiong's fair cheeks puffed up, and she turned her face away, pretending to be indifferent and not looking at him.

Yuu Tenkuji knew she was just saying things out of anger, so as usual he offered a few words of comfort, closed the door, and left her room.

The air fell silent and heavy.

Taking a deep breath, Kasugano Sora casually tossed her PFP onto the bed, stood up, and looked at her slender and lovely reflection in the mirror.

Two weeks have passed... If you can't take it anymore, then there's no need to take it anymore!

Her gaze suddenly hardened, and she bit her pink lips slightly as she took off the white dress she always wore, exposing her fair and delicate skin to the air.

Today, Kasugano Sora is going to be a little bolder!

Yuu Tenkuji returned to his room and took out his phone to call Haruno Yukinoshita.

The call connected quickly, and her languid, mature voice reached his ears, causing him to unconsciously smile. Her voice was light and cheerful:

"Can we chat now?"

"Sure, I'm watching TV while I'm drinking."

You can indeed faintly hear the noise from the variety show.

Tenkuji Yu smiled helplessly, having long since given up on persuading her to drink less, and continued, "We've been to the aquarium, where would you like to go next?"

"Hmm, let me think~" Her voice, which sounded almost drunk, was very charming. Tenkuji Yu tugged at his pants and went to the balcony to cool off and calm down.

"By the way, how about going to an amusement park?" Suddenly remembering something, she enthusiastically suggested, "Let's go to Disneyland! My sister really likes the plush toy you gave me, so I'm planning to put a few more in the car. I'd like to buy all the limited edition, special edition, and latest models so she can take pictures with it every day and be so envious!"

After saying that, Yang Nai chuckled mischievously a few times: "Hehehe~ Although Yukino has a Disney year-round pass, her allowance is limited, so she can't possibly collect all of Mr. Pan's merchandise... Oh dear, I'm already looking forward to seeing that jealous look on her face!"

"You're not only a jerk, you're also a twisted siscon."

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, offering a moment of silence for Yukino Yukinoshita.

He quickly steered the conversation back on track: "So it's settled then? I'll go book the tickets now. When are you free next time?"

"The 24th... no, I'll take care of the tickets." She suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I should be able to get a few tickets from Yukino, so I won't trouble you."

"Row."

"Hey, little Youyou..." She paused, then asked softly, "Are you looking forward to the amusement park?"

Yuu Tenkuji didn't understand why she asked that question, but she still answered, "Of course I'm looking forward to it. I've been looking forward to going to the aquarium ever since I came back from the zoo last time. I never don't look forward to it."

"Is that so?" Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to be sighing, yet also smiling. "That's good. I'm looking forward to it too."

Tenkuji Yu smiled and said, "Have a nice date?"

Have a great date. I'll hang up now... Goodbye.

"OK Bye Bye."

After the call ended, she sent a goodnight message, which Tenkuji Yuuya quickly replied to.

However, as he looked at the chat history, the relaxed and cheerful smile on his face gradually faded, and his brows furrowed with unease.

"It must be my imagination..."

Recalling Yukinoshita's tone just now, he felt a strange tightness in his chest.

Shaking his head, Yuu Tenkuji put down his phone and sat down at his computer desk.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, he also opened the system panel to check his current status and skills.

Chapter 85 His Eternal Night Will Eventually Unfold

If you synthesize less than three at once, and there are no particularly useful statuses or skills, then skip it.

Currently, Yuu Tenkuji's permanent statuses include: "Muscle Control", "Sharp Eyes", "Rapid Digestion", "Food Demon King", "Emotional Transmission", "A Flash of Inspiration", and "Injury Time".

And later, I acquired "Speed ​​Up" and "Ghost Movement".

He had previously obtained a one-time version of "Speed ​​Up," but this time he finally mastered it permanently, so I won't go into the details of its effects again. As for the effect of "Ghostly Movement," it's very simple: whether in the game or in real life, as long as he wants to dodge, there's basically nothing that can hit him.

Next are the skills. To avoid being accused of padding the word count, I won't list them all in detail, but I'll just mention a few new and evolved skills—

"Massage", "High Jump", "Writing" and "Kissing" have all been upgraded from proficient level to expert level, and "Riding (proficient level)" and "Swimming (expert level)" have been added.

"Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of repetitive skills... even riding skills are obtained through a one-time combination."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Yuu Tenkuji fell into deep thought.

Over the past two weeks, although every date with Yukino Yukinoshita yielded something, not only were the monetary rewards significantly less, but the frequency of skill and status buffs also noticeably decreased, and skills that had already been used frequently appeared—

That's right, he's already reached the Master level four times, but he hasn't been able to upgrade from Master to Perfect level, let alone reach the "Learning (Proficient)" level, which is already close to winning.

It's like the mother of an unlucky person opening the door for an unlucky person, and the unlucky person has arrived home.

However, Yuu Tenkuji wasn't trying to talk about how bad his luck was, but rather about Yukino Yukinoshita's attitude.

"The amount of the reward depends on Yang Nai's mood; the more satisfied she is, the better the reward she can get..."

For example, when he went to the manor to see her that day, hundreds of thousands of yen went straight into his account; but during the two weeks of dating, even if he took the initiative to kiss her every time and did everything a boyfriend should do, he might not have received 100,000 yen.

The reward amount plummeted—Tenkuji Yu didn't care about the amount of money; he only cared about what it represented.

"So, Haruno actually doesn't like going on dates with me? That's impossible... Her acting skills can't fool me; she always seems happy and enjoys it..."

The fingers tapping on the table became increasingly rapid and forceful, almost poking a dent into the wooden desk.

With a furrowed brow, Yuu Tenkuji listed many possibilities, only to dismiss them one by one. After thinking for a long time, he was still completely confused and couldn't find the right answer.

"call……"

He let out a heavy sigh, looked at the black screen of his phone, and finally shook his head: "Next time we go on a date at the amusement park, if things still don't improve, I'll ask again if there's something I did wrong."

A romantic relationship is a process of mutual change and growth for each other. Problems shouldn't be kept bottled up inside, otherwise, a breakup will inevitably occur due to a lack of mutual understanding.

Theoretically speaking, Yuu Tenkuji considers himself a master of romance.

After checking the system panel and confirming that the computer had already booted up, he opened the browser and played the video that he had cached yesterday.

Then, with a strange smile, he took out something he had secretly bought that day from the drawer and stretched his fingers as if to warm up.

"Hmph... As a boyfriend, when doing this kind of thing, you really have to think about your girlfriend to be fast."

Soon, the video began to play a girl's melodious and pleasant voice.

Tenkuji Yu released the mouse, and the cold electronic light illuminated the sinister smile on his face.

Swallowing hard, he slowly stretched his hands down...

Then, he picked up a transparent elastic thread and, following the instructions in the video, awkwardly strung together plastic crystal beads.

"I should be able to finish all the skating before we go to the amusement park..."

This time, Yuuki Tenkuji wants to give Yukino Yukinoshita a bracelet that she made herself.

Although it was cheap and simple, he wanted this bracelet to be a more memorable gift for her than the comb he had given her before.

—Regardless of what Yukino Yukinoshita is thinking.

As long as he can bring that happy, joyful smile back to her face, then everything he does will have meaning.

Thinking this, Yuu Tenkuji unconsciously smiled, and her bead-stringing skills became more and more proficient.

Around 11 o'clock, Yuu Tenkuji put away the half-finished bracelet, planning to finish it completely the next day.
