I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

"Take another good look." Yamada Ryo said unhappily, with his hands in his pockets.

Huh?

Exquisite little leather shoes, slim jeans, perfect legs, and a button-up shirt...

"Ito Rin, what are you looking at?" Yamada Ryo took two steps back unnaturally.

"You asked me to see it."

"Did I ask you to look at me? Look around here."

"You should have told me earlier."

"Who knows your perverted thoughts?"

"It's a misunderstanding. Besides, Yamada-senpai, we're so familiar with each other, so a few glances at you shouldn't be a problem... By the way, is there anything strange around here that's worthy of Yamada-senpai's personal guidance?"

Yamada Ryo sighed, threw the finished drink into the trash can, and after making sure that his gaze was no longer perverted, walked up to him.

Ito Rin, who seemed to be observing her surroundings but was actually occasionally stealing glances at her, became serious unwillingly.

“I can’t see anything at all.”

"My house is next door." Yamada Ryo pointed in the direction she came from and rolled her eyes at him.

This guy came to visit us, but he even forgot this.

But why is he here? Is he really a pervert?

Thinking of this, Yamada Ryo became more alert.

"So that's how it is." Ito Rin suddenly realized, no wonder Yamada Ryo appeared.

When I got off the bus, all I could think about was finding something to eat, and I didn't care about the address.

"Tell me the truth. Why are you here so early in the morning? Are you planning anything bad?"

"Who against whom?" Ito Rin asked back.

"..." She was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then why are you here?"

"I'm hungry. Come down and eat something. I have to run back home later."

"Why are you taking a car to come here to eat early in the morning?"

“It’s on the way home.”

Yamada Ryo looked at him, and seeing Ito Rin's calm expression, he hooked his fingers and said, "Not busy, right?"

"Fortunately."

"Well, come with me."

Ito Rin, who was confused, saw her turn around and leave. Even though she was confused, she still followed her obediently.

The ordinary streets in Setagaya Ward are narrow, but the wealthy area where my senior sister lives is much more spacious and well-landscaped. The yards along the way are planted with flowers and grass, and occasionally there are a few big trees growing over the yards, bringing cool shade.

Walking on such a street, even the excited Ito Rin couldn't help but calm down. He observed the surrounding scenery with interest, and at the same time wondered why Yamada Ryo called him over.

The sunlight shines on the green branches and leaves, reflecting dreamy colors.

After walking for a while, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and caught up with her and asked, "Senior, where are we going?"

"Don't ask so many questions," she said.

"Hey!?"

Ito Rin rolled her eyes, shocked by her condescending attitude.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm to you." Yamada Ryo finally turned around and looked him up and down with eyes full of wisdom.

"for example?"

"shopping."

Ito Rin immediately became nervous. He covered his pockets tightly. Even though there was not much money in them, the thought of being targeted by her was not a good thing.

Who knows whether she has spent all the rewards given by the system.

Judging from the speed at which Yamada Ryo spends money and Ito Rin's understanding of how stingy the system is, there is a high probability that the young lady in front of her has returned to poverty again.

"Ito-san, what do you mean?"

"Ito-san, you don't think I'm after your money, do you?"

"Ito-san, please don't underestimate me!"

……

A series of powerful questions made Ito Rin reluctantly withdraw her hand, "Then why did you call me?"

Since it's not about money, is there any need to look for him?

"You have nothing to do."

"Just because of this?" Ito Rin shouted in disbelief.

"Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf." The frightened Yamada Ryo rubbed his ears and looked at him dissatisfied.

"Sorry..." Ito Rin looked at her doubtfully: "Don't you like to be alone, senior?"

This time, she didn't answer, turned around and continued forward, causing a big question mark to appear over Ito Rin's head behind her.

After walking for a while, we stopped in front of a street.

You don't need to go in. Just by observing from the outside, you can see many high school students carrying musical instruments coming and going. It seems that this is a store like a musical instrument store.

"Buy a bass?"

"No." Yamada Ryo walked forward. "There's a second-hand store here where I can occasionally buy out-of-print CDs, so I often come here to shop."

"That's even more strange to me. If they called me over to buy some musical instruments, they could say they were looking for someone to move things, but that shouldn't be necessary for a few CDs, right?"

"Do we really need a reason?" Yamada Ryo asked.

"It's not that I want a reason, but there must be a reason, and then I want to know." Ito Rin pointed at

In an unremarkable shop on the street, "I'm not a very curious person, but it's strange that you're like this, Senior Sister. Is this here?"

"Well, let's go in."

"It turns out you didn't listen to me at all."

"Tell me slowly, you have nothing to do today anyway."

Ito Rin regretted it. He should have said that he was very busy today and had no free time at all, so that he wouldn't have to be nagged by Yamada Ryo like this.

Walking into the store, it feels like entering a new world.

Unlike the bright outside, the lighting in the store was slightly dim, which just matched the style of the second-hand items displayed on the shelves. Ito Rin, who didn't take it seriously when he first came in, found a game cartridge that interested him after walking around twice, and he immediately became excited.

"How about it? It's very interesting, right?" Yamada Ryo, holding the CD, looked at him proudly.

"Yeah, but when I think about buying a game console after buying the cartridge, I'm starting to back out." Ito Rin put the cartridge back reluctantly. "I've decided to stick with the PC game."

"Heretics." Yamada Ryo looked at him with disdain. "A true Japanese person should play games on a console!"

"Well said, senior sister, please lend me some money." He calmly stretched out his hand and asked the real Japanese to lend him some money to buy a console.

Yamada Ryo pretended not to see it and walked past him. Listening to his undisguised laughter, he held the CD a little harder.

Damn it, he’s even thicker-skinned than her!

After a while, Ito Rin took the game cartridge with her.

"Game console?"

"Sooner or later it will happen."

She laughed twice, and seeing Ito Rin's serious expression, she walked ahead to pay the bill.

Because it is a second-hand store, the prices are often not fixed. Ordinary items are priced lower, while precious items depend on the store owner's vision.

But it can be seen that Yamada Ryo is a frequent patron of the store, and the female manager obviously gave her a preferential price when she checked out.

After shopping, it was already late, almost eleven o'clock.

Ito Rin took the cartridge and was about to leave. Since the game had been bought, the plan for the game console had to be arranged.

Of course he had money. He still had a lot of it left from the one million reward from the system, which was more than enough to buy a game console.

But spending all the money given by the system on entertainment may feel great in the short term, but it is not something that Ito Rin should recommend.

Nowadays, it is no longer a simulator where you can make money every day, but you have to wait for the system to actively release tasks, so he doesn't want to spend this money as a surplus that he should get.

"Wait." Yamada Ryo called him.

"What are you doing again?"

Because of Yamada Ryo, Ito Rin felt that she had to spend more money and looked at her warily.

Even if you are a senior, you still have to maintain a sense of propriety.

"Eat?" She pointed to the restaurant not far away.

"After buying the CD, you don't even have money for food?" Ito Rin said in surprise.

"..."

In that instant, Ito Rin felt the murderous intent was so strong that it almost made her want to kill someone.

He twisted his neck uncomfortably, his body subconsciously leaning towards the restaurant.

Yamada Ryo stretched out his hand, patted his chest, and said seriously: "I, Yamada Ryo, am definitely not a person who takes advantage of others!"

At that moment, if he hadn't had strong self-control, he would have almost laughed out loud, and even wanted to ask in which parallel universe the Yamada Ryo mentioned by the senior was from.

"Well, there's nothing to say to a fool like you. Anyway, I won't take advantage of you. There are some things I need to tell you."

Since that's what she said, Ito Rin shrugged helplessly and followed him to the restaurant.

"Did you go to Nagasaki Suyo's house last night?" Yamada Ryo said to him as soon as he sat down without ordering.

"..." Ito Rin's speed in flipping through the menu slowed down a bit.

"Senior, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Well, it seems to be a tacit agreement." She nodded in understanding.

"Soyo is my girlfriend. It's normal for me to go hang out with her. There's no need to hide it."

"I know, but..."

In that instant, she suddenly paused, and Ito Rin somehow understood what she meant.

There is probably no other person who can make Yamada Ryo so conflicted and take the initiative to call him out for a chat.

Not wanting to discuss the matter and unable to explain it clearly, Ito Rin ate a few mouthfuls of food and left in a hurry. Yamada Ryo sat in his seat, his worried eyes fixed on his back.

Time passed slowly until the busy sports festival activities drew all their attention away.

Late at night on October 4th, Ito Rin sat cross-legged on the bed and did not go to sleep until the early morning.

The system's mall has been refreshed.

He still had quite a few points, and after giving up the idea of ​​increasing his attribute points, the purchasing power of these points increased greatly.

[System Mall has been refreshed]

[Lucky Pendant: Luck is the most ethereal attribute. In most cases, people don't even feel its presence. Wearing this pendant can slightly increase your luck.]

"..."

Ito Rin covered his face in pain. He was not that obsessed with the game, so why did he need luck points?

Besides, he hasn't fallen to the point where he has to rely on luck to decide on multiple-choice questions.

Such rubbish merchandise.

[Skills: Primary – Disguise (100), Intermediate – Massage (1000), Advanced – Light Novel Writing (10000), Master – Swimming (10)]

After thinking about it over and over again, there was only one skill that really interested him.

It's not a high-level light novel, but a mid-level massage.

Please, if you want to support yourself by writing novels in an island country, it is better to stand on the roadside and hand out flyers. It is a miracle that you can write novels without starving to death.

As for massage, it is perfect for him.
