Toru Watanabe once again felt the darkness of capitalist society. Not only did they form a club, but they even did not let go of personal information!

"Even if your brain is only good enough for exams, at least remember the names of your classmates. This is the foundation for the future activities of the Human Observation Department."

"But I still don't even remember the names of half the people in my class."

This statement was an exaggeration, except that a few very inconspicuous classmates had forgotten it.

"Then take this opportunity to write down the names of all the students in this school."

"Wha, what?"

The request was so outrageous that Toru Watanabe suspected he had heard it wrong.

"As a member of the Human Observation Department, remembering students of the same grade is just the basics. You will be qualified only if you remember students from all over the school." Qingye Rin pushed the list over.

"Is this... a joke?"

The girl gently brushed her neat long straight hair, crossed her arms across her chest, and chuckled.

Well, it doesn't look like it.

In addition, the game did not send any emails, so it seems that the lie of exaggeration also failed.

"What do you do after observing their attitudes?" he asked while trying to memorize the things in his hand.

"When your proudest achievement is defeated, you may feel regret, anger, unwillingness or give up... First, let's look at the ratio."

Watanabe Toru raised his head: "Why do I feel like you thought of this at the last minute?"

"You just need to complete the task I assign to you." The girl crossed her arms and gave her a cold look as a superior.

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

When the setting sun dyed the room orange, Toru Watanabe finally memorized the names and appearances of all the first-year high school students, which took him more than an hour.

We agreed to just meet briefly on Friday, why did you waste so much time? Is this considered a lie?

There are also rigid school rules. What’s the point of everyone having to join a club?

You don’t really think that every student will seriously participate in club activities, enjoy their youth, or learn some skills from them, right?

Watanabe Toru sorted out the list in his hand and said, "I remember everything."

Qingye Rin, who was reading a book, pointed in the direction of the corridor with his chin, meaning that he could go straight ahead?

Now that I'm here and have wasted so much time, how can I give up so easily?

"Qiono-san, I will definitely surpass you in this exam and take first place."

"Hmm?" Qingye Rin didn't take his eyes off the book.

Her tone made Watanabe Toru unable to tell whether she was wondering why he didn't leave or why he suddenly declared war.

"Perhaps you don't know, but my admission score was actually third in the school. I've been studying very hard recently and I'm very confident that I can get first place."

Qing Ye Lin looked at Watanabe Toru and spoke in an even colder tone:

"You have been lying since just now. Are you challenging my patience? I tell you clearly that although I don't care about many things, I am generally very difficult to talk to, and I have nothing to do with gentleness. If you try to use the stupid tricks you use to seduce other female students on me, I advise you to give up."

The other party's sudden seriousness made Watanabe Toru lose his mind for a moment, and he even reflected on whether he had done something wrong.

"Sorry, I'm just curious. I want to try to see if what you said about 'being able to see through all lies' is true, Qingye-san. I don't mean anything else."

This sentence should be true... Watanabe Toru is not completely sure.

Although he wanted to complete the [temporary mission], he still doubted Kiyono Rin's ability. After all, the [Appendix] clearly stated that there was no impossible mission, so he should have some thoughts of testing the other party, right?

But now even half-hearted jokes can be seen through, is medicine really the only solution? But how can such convenient medicine be obtained?

"People like you..." Qingye Rin smiled, but the scary thing was that there was no smile at all, "You really lie all the time."

"I lied, just now?"

Qingye Lin's smile faded and he said coldly: "You mean I would lie?"

Ah, I don’t understand myself anymore. This is what Toru Watanabe is thinking at this moment.

"I think you can take a lie detector test and help the police solve the case." He suggested sincerely.

"No matter how hard one person tries, how much can he change the world? Besides, you don't have to worry about my career direction." Qingye Rin retracted his cold gaze: "Can you please leave? The stink of lies on you makes me uncomfortable."

"The stink of lies? Well, I'll leave today."

The girl then thanked him very politely, which made Watanabe Toru almost suspect that he smelled bad.

Chapter 10 Decided to be a handsome guy in Tokyo in this life

The monthly test is over and we begin the short holiday commonly known as the Golden Week, which lasts from April 4 to May 29.

Toru Watanabe went to Kyoto when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. In the blink of an eye, the cherry blossoms had withered and the trees were covered with emerald green leaves. A month had passed.

It should be time to plant rice seedlings in my hometown.

At this time of year every year, Toru Watanabe's parents would go out to plant rice at four in the morning. Except for coming back to rest for a while at noon, they would stay in the fields for the rest of the day.

When he was young, his parents loved him because he was smart. Even if he wanted to help, he would be asked to stay at home and read books or go out to play. When he grew up a little, the village bought a rice transplanter, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he couldn't help weeding.

He couldn't bend over for long periods of time; the sharp weeds could easily cut his skin, leeches greedily sucked his blood, and gadflies hovered over his head, causing him annoyance.

“Actually, I can still grow potatoes.”

After thinking more and more that he was good for nothing except studying, Watanabe Toru defended himself.

Although planting potatoes only requires cutting them into pieces, digging holes, burying them, and then picking up dead leaves from the mountain and spreading them on top, you can do it.

Before the holiday, Toru Watanabe called his family and agreed to stay in Tokyo to work during the Golden Week and go back during the summer vacation.

After putting on casual clothes, Toru Watanabe took the train to the Shinjuku intersection and found the Waldorf clothing store where he worked part-time.

"Is your name Watanabe Toru? Your job is to stand at the intersection ahead and hold up the billboard. You can take a short break when you are tired, but not for too long. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The intersection where the Waldorf clothing store is located is the entrance to Shinjuku's bar street. Standing here, you can observe almost all the women coming in and out.

But holding up a billboard for a few hours...

Toru Watanabe originally wanted to find a job doing traffic surveys - sitting there and counting pedestrians and vehicles with a counter, but unfortunately there are no such coincidences in the world.

There are part-time jobs doing traffic surveys, but not at this intersection.

If he didn't look for a job, a high school student who stayed near the red-light district would definitely be questioned by the police.

Moreover, he was able to earn money while looking for someone and working part-time, and he only had more than 4,000 yen left.

This kind of hard labor earns much more than shopping mall employees.

Although he had points that could be exchanged for a lot of money, he wanted to save them to exchange for intelligence, physical strength and charm. Besides, there were still two days left until May, and maybe he would have the skills he wanted by then.

Watanabe Toru was standing at a busy street corner holding a billboard. Besides him, there were other people wearing doll costumes handing out flyers, doing the same job.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and it is unrealistic to use the [detector] on every woman who passes by.

If you are not young, you are not pretty, you are not single, and you do not dress openly enough.

"Handsome guy, do you want to go to the cafe together?"

"Eh~~? Yukie, this handsome boy looks like a high school student!"

"As long as he's handsome, he might still be a virgin~~!"

Toru Watanabe looked at the woman in front of him who was chatting with him. Her shirt was open, boldly exposing her collarbone. She was very seductive and looked quite pretty.

【Character: Kuroda Yukie】

【Charm: 5】

【Pass】

"Sorry, I'm working part-time. If you need to buy clothes, please come to Waldorf."

After saying that, Toru Watanabe bowed and walked away.

I was actually fooled by makeup!

According to his estimation, charm should be six points!

The woman named Kuroda Yukie wanted to follow, but was pulled away by her companions who shouted, "There are police here."

A female college student dressed as a maid handing out flyers nearby said with a smile, "It's really popular."

"I just want to work quietly." Toru Watanabe smiled bitterly.

The same thing happened to this female college student. She had been looking for opportunities to talk to him since they first met.

Is sister-brother romance popular in Tokyo? Or is it enough to just be handsome?

Growing up in a remote village, there were only five teachers and students in the school, with ages ranging from primary one to junior high school. Toru Watanabe had never been so popular.

After arriving in Tokyo, I received all kinds of love letters and pick-up lines.

He suddenly remembered a line from the movie "Your Name" by Makoto Shinkai in his previous life:

"Please let me be a handsome guy in Tokyo in my next life"

Maybe this is just how life is for a handsome guy in Tokyo? He just makes a fuss about it?

You have to adapt to your new identity.

His legs were sore from standing and he couldn't lift his arms. Watanabe Toru used three chances but didn't find a target.

He has tried his best to pick the most beautiful women to use the [Detector]. Except for Kuroda Yukie who just took the initiative to chat with him, who had five points of charm, the other two had six and seven points respectively, but all showed [Pass].

I don't know if the charm must reach eight points, or if there are other hidden conditions that need to be met besides the charm.

After returning the billboard to the store, I received today's salary. Generally, it is not paid on a daily basis, but it can be paid for temporary workers during the Golden Week.

I worked for four hours and earned a total of 5200 yen.

The hourly wage is 1300 yen, which is considered very high, but the work is also very hard.

Toru Watanabe felt that if he continued this job, it would only be a matter of time before his physical strength increased to 4 points, or even points.

But he is still too naive and underestimates this society.

Women in society, especially those who go to Shinjuku bars, are all very good at applying makeup, and their looks are generally better than they would otherwise be.

With his level of femininity that is hard to detect without makeup, coming here to look for targets is a sheer waste of points and time.

The school is still good, it explicitly prohibits makeup. Even the most beautiful female students dare only wear light makeup and slightly dye their hair.

All women above high school level will pass - Toru Watanabe made up his mind, knowing that women will undergo a drastic change like a silkworm chrysalis turning into a butterfly once they graduate from high school.

The 1000 points spent on [Detector], plus the money spent on the lunch box in the evening - lunch was provided by the clothing store, I ended up losing more than yen in the whole day.

So during the next six days of the Golden Week, except for a trip to Akihabara with Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke, Watanabe Toru worked and studied, and no longer went to Shinjuku Kabuki to waste points.

During this period, in the early morning of May 1st, the game store was refreshed.

[Items: Detector (1/1000), Healing Medicine (1/1000)]

[Money: 100 yen/1 point]

[Intelligence: 1 point/10 points]

[Charm: 1 point/1 points]

[Physical Strength: 1 point/5 points]

[Skills: Beginner - Flower Arrangement (100), Master - Cooking (1000), Proficient - Driving (1), Master - Free Fighting (10)]

Watanabe Toru carefully studied the newly added item [Healing Medicine]. As the name suggests, it can only heal injuries but not cure diseases.

But it’s not bad, as long as it doesn’t kill you immediately and you still get points, you can survive.

[Supplementary Provisions] The first article "Player death has nothing to do with this game, and there is no obligation to revive" always gives him the feeling that this is not a simple love game.

Anyway, be prepared.

Next are the five skills for this month. Except for "Cooking", the other four are all new skills.

Toru Watanabe is very interested in master-level "free fighting".

Is there any man who is not interested?

Even if you don't initiate a fight, it's better to fight well than not to fight well. As the saying goes, a gentleman hides his weapon. People must have the confidence to not offend others if they don't offend me, but if they offend me, I will kill them.
