"What is it, Shiraishi-kun?" Shiraishi Zexiu's LINE nickname is Shiraishi.
"It's okay, let's talk again next time."
"??? Do you know that your tricks for getting girls' attention are from hundreds of years ago?"
"You're still so good at making things up in your head. I'll be more careful with my words next time."
"There won't be a next time. It's impossible between us, Shiraishi-kun, unless you give me 100 million yen."
"I choose to marry someone who costs 100 million yen."
"Go to hell."

“This system is nothing special,” Shiraishi Sawa smiled as he discovered a way to prolong life. “So if I use Line to chat, even if it’s with someone of the opposite sex, it won’t lower my points. The rate at which points decrease is thus well buffered. If I have the chance to pass this system on to the next victim, I will definitely ban physical and text communication as well.”
"Oh dear~, it's really inappropriate for Shiraishi-kun to be smiling at the supermarket entrance all by himself in broad daylight. Although I have to admit that your smile is quite handsome, a handsome pervert is still a pervert after all."
Hearing a familiar voice beside him, Shiraishi Sawa turned his head, rubbed his forehead, and swallowed hard, deliberately replying in a hoarse voice, "Ichiru-san, if you keep this up, I'll sue you for defamation."
The girl who caught my eye was tall and slender, standing at 175 cm in high heels. Shiraishi Sawa, who was 188 cm tall, was only about half a head taller than her. She was wearing a light gray trench coat.
She wore a beige plaid mini skirt, and underneath, her legs, without an ounce of excess fat, were clad in black over-the-knee stockings. The fair, smooth skin between the skirt and the stockings proclaimed the perfection of her legs.
Her slender, white fingers were now coiling around a strand of long hair. The girl's face was smooth and delicate, with a fox-like oval shape, and she was wearing a playful smile.
The girl's full name is Chiyo Ichiriki, and she works at this supermarket with Hideyuki Shiraishi.
"What's wrong, Shiraishi-kun? Why does your voice sound like this? Has your long-term groping behavior gotten so bad that it's even ruined your voice?"
"My throat is a bit sore from inflammation, so I'm not really able to talk. Ichiyori-san, could you add me on Line? Let's keep in touch via Line first." Shiraishi Sawa Hide chose to completely ignore Ichiyori Chiyo's teasing.
"Ah, okay, give me your phone, I'll add you. Speaking of which, we've been working together for so long and you're only asking for my Line now? I'm a top-tier beauty too, you know. Shiraishi-kun, if you like boys, you have to tell me, I'm really curious about the psychology of people like you."
"You've become narcissistic since I came here." This sentence was written on the phone handed to Ichiyori Chiyo.
"No more, Shiraishi-kun, speak as loudly as you can today, using your current raspy voice."
"I was wrong, Ichiro is a top beauty in Tokyo."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how many girls he's said that to."
"Absolutely not, only you."
"Grumpy."
After adding her on Line, Chiyo handed the phone back to Shiraishi Sawa.

"Once we arrive at the hotel, you'll be in charge of the front desk today. I'm not in a good position to talk, so I'll go organize the shelves and stock up on goods."
"Okay, a deaf-mute boy with a strong will despite his disability."
Looking at the message on Line, Shiraishi Sawa looked up and then down again.
"Don't you think it'll be easier for you to speak once you're inside the mulberry grove? Also, when did I become a deaf-mute boy? (confused.jpg)"
"Because it makes you seem like you fit in."
"You're amazing! Let's cheer each other on, deaf-mute girl."
"Shiraishi-kun, you've become more lively today. Could it be that your usual aloofness is just because you're not good with your mouth but very skilled with your hands?"
"Something's not right with you! Come in and start work!"

The supermarket wasn't particularly big, about the size of three storefronts, and only two people worked part-time: Shiraishi Sawa and Ichiyo Ichiri.
"Good afternoon, Zexiu and Chiyo. Now that you're here, I'll go have some food and rest for a bit." A kind-faced old lady standing behind the counter said warmly as she saw the two of them enter.
"Good afternoon, Granny Ueno. You should go and rest. Shiraishi-kun's throat isn't feeling well, so I'll take care of his greetings as well."
Hideaki Shiraishizawa bowed slightly to his grandmother, Ueno, and gave her an apologetic smile.
Grandma Ueno is the owner of this supermarket. Strangely enough, when Shiraishi Sawa applied for the job, he met a middle-aged man who looked like a scoundrel, but after he was hired, he never saw him again. When asked about it, Grandma Ueno replied that she had just bought the supermarket to make the most of her later years.
Moreover, the hourly wage agreed upon with the uncle was 1000 yen, but after the first day of work, Granny Ueno adjusted the hourly wage to 2000 yen, and sometimes even gave him a few hundred or a few thousand yen more, usually just because she was in a good mood.
They have none of the exploitative mentality that capitalists should have; the happiness of the rich is truly unimaginable.
The adjustment of his hourly wage allowed Shiraishi Sawa to further implement his self-sufficiency plan. Shiraishi Sawa's family was not poor, but they were not particularly wealthy either. His decision not to continue to burden his family was perhaps a small expression of pride for a transmigrator.
Hideaki Shiraishizawa rents an apartment in Tahara, Tokyo, not far from Ueno, just two subway stops away. The landlord is a friend of his parents, so the rent is relatively cheap, only 4 yen per month. As a result, he is now able to live without relying on living expenses.
Grandma Ueno quickly handed over her work to a former supermarket employee, explained a few pre-orders, and then left the supermarket.

The task of organizing the shelves is to replenish the supermarket shelves when there is stock, and to move the goods out of the shelves when there is no stock, so that the surface is full. Then, record the missing items and hand them over to my mother-in-law later so that she can restock them.
When the supermarket employee who was originally in charge of this area left, he told Shiraishi Sawa that today's task was relatively easy, as he had already organized and recorded most of it, and only the contents of two shelves remained.
"Both Lion and P&G dishwashing liquids are out of stock. I remember Lion still has some in stock, but I don't know if P&G has any left..."
Squatting on the ground, Shiraishi Zexiu meticulously recorded the products and their numbers.
"Hello ma'am, when we scanned the package, we found that the cookies you purchased are less than a month away from expiring. If you don't plan to eat them soon, you can choose another snack or return them. You're going to eat them today, right? Okay, I'll pack them up for you right away."
That's what came from the front desk.
"Mr. Shiraishi, could you please check the Letao sandwich cheese cookies on shelf number 3? They seem to be about to expire. My mother-in-law instructed us to label these items and offer a discount. If any of them are already expired, please throw them away or eat them yourself."
“Okay, I’ll go check it out after I finish writing down this shelf.” Shiraishi Sawa immediately replied to Ichiyo Ichiyori on Line.
"Shiraishi-kun? Is he still alive? If he is, why is he not making a sound? If he has passed away, would you like funeral services?"
"She must not have checked Line and has already forgotten that I can't speak."
With that thought in mind, Shiraishi Sawah stood up, walked to a spot where he could see the front desk, glared at Ichiyori Chiyo, pointed at her, then at himself, and finally at his phone.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that Shiraishi-kun is a deaf-mute boy today." With a tone that showed no remorse whatsoever, Chiyo Ichii pressed one hand to her chest and bowed at almost a 90-degree angle with a smile.
Is it to support it with my hand so it won't be so tiring? Shiraishi Sawa thought to himself, his mind wandering.
"Alright, I've apologized. Shiraishi-kun, please go check the shelves. If any expired food is bought by others, although it might damage your voice and cause you to have more people like that, it would be too unfair to the others."
"I never realized you were so sharp-tongued before I came to Sang."
"Because you, Shiraishi-kun, haven't really talked to me much before."
"You must be a young lady from a wealthy family, otherwise you could never have raised such a picky eater."
"You've been discovered. Your identity can't be hidden anymore. But even so, I'm still a fallen young lady. Didn't you realize that I've been reduced to working with you, Shiraishi-kun?"
"The word 'fallen' is very problematic; once you enter Sangni, your Chinese is really bad."
[Ding! The cooldown period for exploration has ended]
"Why not use it?" Looking at the smiling, sharp-tongued girl's face, Shiraishi Sawa used [Detect].
Chapter 3 Part of Shiraishi Sawa Hide's body died
[Name: Ichiryu Chiyo]
Age: 17
Intelligence: +3
[Stamina: +4]
[Charm: +5]
[Intelligence: Triggerable quests (quests will randomly appear during your interactions with the target)]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully found a mission target and activated the reward mission. This is a one-time opportunity, so don't miss it!]
[Task Description: Communicate with Chiyo Ichiryu as much as possible within one hour. Communicating with Chiyo Ichiryu during this time period will not deduct points.]
[Task Rewards:]
[Communicate more than once: 200 points + random skill initial mastery item card]
[Communicate more than 10 times: 500 points + a skill upgrade item card from C to B]
[Communicate more than 100 times: 1200 points + a skill upgrade item card from B to A]

(Only the highest reward tier will be awarded; rewards cannot be combined.)
[Task started by default, 59 minutes remaining, 0 messages communicated so far]
People often regret the decisions they made very quickly.
"If God gave me another chance, my throat would definitely be healthy. System, I really want to explain to you that communication actually includes text communication. This bug and its imperfection really make for a terrible user experience."
"Sentences of 1000 would require a continuous, high-frequency chat with Yiru Sang within an hour, which is a far cry from my previous aloof persona. Now, I've even put a debuff on myself that I have a sore throat, making it virtually impossible to complete, so I'm not considering it. So, my current goal is 100 sentences, 1200 points, which would more than double my points balance, plus a skill upgrade card, which is quite attractive."
Shiraishi Sawa put his phone in his pocket, looked at Ichiyo Ichiriki, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"As soon as you enter the mulberry tree?"
"what happened?"
"biscuit......"
Upon seeing Shiraishi Sawa say the word "biscuit" and then nothing more, Chiyo frowned her handsome brows.
"Huh? Shiraishi-kun, what's wrong with the cookies?"
"Which shelf was it on again?"
Upon hearing the follow-up, Chiyo Ichiri sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead with one hand. "Good heavens! Shiraishi-kun, has your problem spread from your throat to your brain? I mentioned shelf number 3 a minute ago, and you've already forgotten it. Moreover, you're so sick that you can't finish speaking in one go. I'll lend you 100 yen, or you can go to the nearest hospital to get checked out."
[Number of messages communicated so far: 2]
"I added 1 when calling out the name, and then added 1 again after the whole story of 'Biscuit' was finished. It seems that the method of punctuation is not working."
"Nothing is more poisonous than once it enters your mouth. I'm going to check shelf number 3."
"How could my lips be poisonous? Of course they're sweet. Shiraishi-kun, why don't you try some?" After saying that, Ichiyo licked her cherry lips, covering them with an alluring sheen.
