They all have hidden attributes!

She seemed genuinely angry. Takahashi Makoto stepped forward, put his arm around Kashima Reiko's thin shoulder, and coaxed her into the apartment building.

"I won't do it again next time. I'll definitely stick to your planned schedule, okay?"

"I must take the lead." Kashima Reiko's eyes were resolute.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Makoto Takahashi's lips curled into a wicked smile. Anyway, she would unlock her obedient and docile form again, as long as he managed the timing well.

The maid's service mentality was too strong, and he had no good way to control himself.

I'll set an alarm next time.

As for the time that Kashima Reiko needs to be sober, there's nothing that can be done; she can only ask Tachimi Yuki for leave.

Take the elevator upstairs and arrive at the door of Uesugi Maya's apartment.

Makoto Takahashi rang the doorbell, and less than a minute later, the door opened. Maya Uesugi, dressed in her school uniform, stood in the entryway, her caramel-colored eyes scanning the two of them with a cold gaze.

"Why are you only coming back now?" she asked coldly.

"Lengzi is so cute."

Makoto Takahashi spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "Besides, I did send you a text message, don't tell me you haven't seen it yet."

"I saw it, but that doesn't mean I agree."

Maya Uesugi grabbed Reiko Kashima's wrist, pulled her into the apartment, stepped forward to block Makoto Takahashi, and said in a grim tone:

"We need to reschedule the recording of the new song. You'll have to figure out how to have dinner on your own."

It's clear she's really angry this time.

Makoto Takahashi could only watch helplessly as the door slammed shut with a bang, and there was nothing he could do for the time being.

Since things have come to this, shall we have dinner first?

He was standing in the hallway, taking out his phone, wondering whether to invite Nekoya Haruna to go out for barbecue, when the apartment door suddenly opened.

"Come in," Uesugi Maya commanded.

"What's wrong?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

Maya Uesugi stared at him without saying a word. Their gazes met in the air. Just as Makoto Takahashi was wondering what was going on, Reiko Kashima's voice drifted out.

“I have no experience to teach her.”

The atmosphere became a little awkward. Uesugi Maya gripped the doorknob tightly and turned back to glare at Kashima Reiko with a menacing look.

It turns out that dinner was prepared, but Haki rushed off at night to learn from Kashima Reiko's experience.

Makoto Takahashi suddenly felt like laughing. The next second, Maya Uesugi suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, and he forced back his laughter as he walked into the apartment.

"Rehearsals for the new song will begin next week, but I have other things to do this weekend."

"Forget about it." Uesugi Maya's attitude was firm.

"Yes." Takahashi Makoto chose to yield.

Chapter 134 The Little Devil is Growing Up

Back in Tokyo late at night, Makoto Takahashi, wrapped in a blanket, lay on the sofa in his apartment, feeling a little sleepless.

The clouds outside the window gradually thinned, and moonlight streamed in through the glass. In the dreamlike halo, scenes from the rainy season began to surface in my mind.

Everything happened naturally.

He suddenly felt an irrepressible urge to share everything he had experienced with Tachimi Yuki and Kashima Reiko.

I don't want to be all alone anymore, I don't want to be separated from anyone...

One must traverse an immense journey through life to stem all unease...

No matter what the distant future holds, I want the ability to protect everything...

Before that, many problems must be solved.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

When Makoto Takahashi woke up the next morning, he felt that everything in the world had changed.

As I sat up from the sofa, I felt incredibly light, whether it was psychological or not, and my heart was filled with happiness.

With a sense of disbelief, he gazed out the window for a long time. The sky was a pure, unblemished blue, and the rising sun cast golden rays across the horizon.

The sounds of breakfast being prepared came from the kitchen, along with relaxed conversation.

Takahashi Makoto jumped off the sofa with a joyful expression, pretending to go to the bathroom to wash up. As he passed the kitchen, he saw through the open door that Uesugi Maya and Kashima Reiko were busy in the kitchen with their backs to each other.

He didn't want to eavesdrop, but when the system panel popped up in front of him, he stopped in his tracks.

[Received a new assistance card]

[Skills: Different Pursuits]

[Uesugi Maya - Love: When attributes are increased, there is a very small chance to obtain a level 1 skill of the corresponding attribute.]

[Kashima Reiko - Calm: Can spend 100 attribute points to increase the level of the corresponding attribute skill by 1 level]

[Hidden Attribute: Shy]

[They had different desires, but both were very shy and neither showed it; one had a blank expression but her heart was pounding, while the other concealed her feelings with indifference.]

[Shy: When an assist card is loaded and attributes are boosted, random members receive the same attribute boost.]

Makoto Takahashi turned off the system panel and, risking a beating, turned his curious gaze toward the kitchen.

“I don’t doubt you, but no one but idiots and people with dementia would believe that [you’ve not remembered any experience].

Today, Maya Uesugi didn't wear her usual long-sleeved shirt and high-waisted long skirt. Instead, she wore a dark green T-shirt, revealing her fair arms, and white casual pants, creating a layered look.

Last night, she asked Kashima Reiko immediately, only to receive the reply, "I'm dizzy." Because she didn't believe it, she asked again this morning.

When this topic came up, Kashima Reiko's expression was a little more blank than usual, but not wooden; her well-behaved face gave off a cute and innocent vibe.

"Hmm, my head was all foggy those two days."

She walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out two eggs. Remembering how full she felt, she lowered her voice a little: "It doesn't seem like anything special."

It sounds like she's completely smitten.

Uesugi Maya deftly tossed her hair and said coldly, "You're really useless."

"That's right, I can't resist."

Kashima Reiko completely ignored her hurtful words, gently tapping the rim of the bowl with an egg to crack the yolk into it: "You should ask the young lady."

"Heh." Uesugi Maya's cold laugh sounded like she was saying, "Impossible."

The two were silent for a brief ten seconds, with only the sounds of the gas stove, frying pan, and egg-beating filling the kitchen.

Just as Takahashi Makoto was about to leave, he suddenly heard Kashima Reiko say:

"When I woke up this morning, the world felt completely different."

"Tsk."

Uesugi Maya clicked her tongue in annoyance, pondered for a moment, and then adopted a maliciously provocative tone: "You haven't made it yet, have you? I can make breakfast by myself."

“Even the young lady doesn’t do it every day.” Kashima Reiko raised her hands and gently patted her cheeks.

"That makes sense, the book says that a man's love and desire are inseparable."

Maya Uesugi changed the subject and continued, "Therefore, it must be in moderation. Even if you live apart by just a wall, your love will only grow stronger."

"Hmm, I see." Kashima Reiko replied expressionlessly, her tone devoid of emotion, making it impossible to tell whether she believed it or not.

Makoto Takahashi really wanted to ask Maya Uesugi which book it was, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized it was more important to avoid being suspected of eavesdropping.

There's no way around it; both of them are easily embarrassed.

He took a few steps back, yawned, and deliberately raised his voice slightly in the corridor, saying, "Lengzi, there's a painting in the studio that's in competition, have you seen it?"

As he walked to the kitchen door, Makoto Takahashi tapped on the open door with his finger.

"Okay, I'll handle it."

Kashima Reiko picked up the bowl, tilted it slightly, and the egg mixture flowed smoothly into the fryer, causing dense bubbles to rise to the surface of the oil.

"I made plans with Hina at noon, and I'll be going to Tatsumi's house tonight."

Makoto Takahashi yawned, then turned listlessly to Maya Uesugi, whose caramel-colored eyes were fixed intently on the frying pan. She said without a hint of romance:

"I have no interest in how you spend your weekend."

It sounded like they were having a tiff, but their attitude wasn't as forceful as usual.

"Shall we go out together tomorrow?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

Uesugi Maya turned her head and shot her a cold gaze, as if asking, "[What is your purpose?]"

"Although we haven't dated, you're still quite important to me."

"roll."

"Ok."

Before I could even take a step, I suddenly heard her cold voice in my ear.

"Where?"

I'll tell you tomorrow.

Seeing the mocking smile on his lips, Uesugi Maya's face suddenly darkened: "Tsk, lousy."

"I'm going to wash up." Takahashi Makoto immediately retreated.

Kashima Reiko is still in the cooling-off period. As long as the young lady is satisfied tonight, she will naturally have time to go shopping with Uesugi Maya tomorrow, and also visit Shiraishi Junka.

After he left, only Maya Uesugi and Reiko Kashima remained in the kitchen.

The two were busy with their own things, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Although Uesugi Maya was merciless with her words towards Takahashi Makoto, her cheeks and earlobes grew increasingly hot. Once her gaze returned to its hardened state, she straightened her back and asked:

"He asked me out directly, didn't you hear?"
