Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

As the car slowed down, the blue-haired girl pressed her legs together, and the red marks left by the lace on her socks in the absolute area were hidden in the shadows.

The girl's index finger was unconsciously stroking the pages of the book. A few late-blooming cherry blossoms drifted past the car window.

When passing an uphill road, Xiangzi suddenly closed the book, and the driver immediately understood and lowered the window.

The rustling sound of tires could be heard on the bluestone road in front of the school gate, and girls wearing the uniforms of Yugaoka Girls' Academy were talking and laughing on the road.

Kujo Renji closed the textbook.

——Okay, I’ve forgotten everything.

There's no such thing as going back to high school and going on a killing spree with his advanced education...

Strictly speaking, Kujo Renji's high level of education in his previous life was also bought.

He was involved in gangs before he even started high school. How could he have time to study?

But the problem that Kujo Renji is facing and urgently needs to solve... is this damn high school knowledge.

You know, Toyokawa Shoko's grades are quite good, even in the Ueno Girls' Academy, she can get a scholarship.

To get back to this level before the exam...to be honest, it's a very difficult task for Kujo Renji.

Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze to the remaining "2" original sin points.

Three points I learned from Toyokawa Kiyoshi, and four from Xiangzi...

There are only two points left at this moment.

Just yesterday, Kujo Renji tried to allocate these points to attribute points.

Since Ms. Shoko Toyokawa's shortcomings are too obvious, there is no need to worry about the allocation of attribute points.

The attributes on the system properties panel do not refer to a single concept. For example, endurance... is not only physical endurance, but also mental endurance.

Because Miss Xiangzi was under too much mental pressure, her endurance was temporarily reduced by a few points.

Her original strength may be endurance.

From this point, it is not difficult to conclude that even strong attributes, after being "destroyed", are likely to have their attribute points reduced, or even their attribute caps reduced.

Of course, after the mental stress is reduced, the endurance attribute will gradually return to its original state.

Therefore, for Kujo Renji, the only shortcoming that needs to be paid attention to is strength.

Of course, "strength" does not just mean literally, but includes various aspects such as physique, health and so on.

To Kujo Renji, Miss Toyokawa's body was really "weak".

After five points of original sin were added, the upper limit of strength increased from 5.5 to 6.5.

The logo has changed to (6.5-2)

Yes, you read that right. Although the upper limit has been raised, the value remains the same.

The attributes obtained in exchange for original sin points are not directly added to the host, but are added in the form of a "ceiling".

In other words, Jiujo Liansi still needs to undergo "exercise" and "nutritional supplements" in order for his body to quickly "recover" to the upper limit of its attribute values.

Hmm... not very humane.

But it was just right for Kujo Renji.

After all, if the physical fitness is improved directly, let alone others... Shoko Toyokawa in the body will probably be the first to notice that something is wrong.

The only pity is that these points can't directly cram high school knowledge into his mind.

The chrome door handle popped up, and the moment Kujo Renji stepped out of the car, the morning breeze lifted the hem of her pleated skirt, revealing the lace garter that was faintly visible two centimeters above her knees.

There were whispers of discussion and envious looks all around.

"Wow, that luxury car looks so good~"

"Whose eldest daughter is this? She actually came to Yuqiu to study."

Kujo Renji walked towards the school gate in his small leather shoes, the rhythm of his heels tapping the ground perfectly coinciding with the preparatory bell.

...

The morning sunlight penetrated the blinds, leaving streaks of light in the girl's messy pink hair.

——Beep beep beep

The sound of the alarm clock made the girl a little flustered. She opened her eyes in a daze, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

As she struggled to reach for the screaming alarm clock, her left hand accidentally spilled some water on the table.

This scene woke the pink-haired girl up immediately, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

She quickly picked up the paper on the bedside table and started wiping it, and finally wiped it clean.

“Aine——!”

My mother's footsteps rolled up the wooden stairs like timpani, and her gentle voice rang out:

"If you don't get up now, you're going to be late."

"Know it--"

Chihaya Aine responded and then stumbled to the closet.

The lace-trimmed nightgown straps slid down to her elbows.

The mirror showed her disheveled appearance with a hair tie in her mouth, and her gray pupils still had some sleepy look.

After changing into her school uniform at the speed of light, Chihaya Aine ran downstairs in her slippers. The breakfast made by her mother was already on the table, but the girl had no intention of stopping.

"Let's have breakfast first."

"Don't eat today, or you'll be late."

Looking at the mouth-watering fried eggs and sandwiches on the table, Chihaya Aine had no choice but to speak as if she had to give up something.

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Chihaya Aine was just about to say goodbye when she saw her mother, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, appear at the kitchen door. The aroma of burnt fried eggs mixed with the smell of linseed oil on her hair poured in.

The girl's gray eyes froze involuntarily.

The reason was simple: a translucent fluorescent label had appeared above his mother's head:

【housewife】

Chihaya Aine rubbed her eyes until the label gradually disappeared after more than ten seconds.

——Huh?

"What's wrong, Aine?"

The mother's concerned voice rang out.

"Ah, ah, nothing."

It was like an illusion. No matter how Chihaya Aine rubbed her eyes, the label never appeared again.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

I've been under so much pressure lately that I'm having hallucinations.

Shaking her head, she spoke to her mother in the room:

"I'm going out—"

"At least it tastes better..." Mother's voice was halfway through.

"It's really too late!"

Sesame seeds fell from the edge of the toast bitten by the tiger teeth.

Aiyin hopped on one foot, put on her little leather shoes, and ran out of the house towards the subway station.

PS: Aine is just an information element. In order to create some twisted and interesting plots, she will not have any other abilities and will not overshadow the main character.

Chapter 8 [Kanto Underground Emperor] Toyokawa Shoko

The electronic screen at Shinjuku Station displayed the current time, and the heels of small leather shoes made rapid tapping sounds on the marble steps.

When the pink-haired girl squeezed sideways into the gate, the strawberry milk carton in the side pocket of her schoolbag was squeezed and deformed. She used her canine teeth to tear open the packaging bag of the last bite of red bean bread.

The Chuo Line platform was filled with the smell of suits and ties, and Aine squeezed into the subway with some difficulty.

That was the moment when the girl squeezed sideways into the car, the back of her neck suddenly hit someone's leather briefcase.

"Feel sorry!"

As she stumbled to grab the ring, she whispered an apology, and then she caught a glimpse of a translucent watermark appearing above the head of the person who bumped into her: [Corporate Animal] [Stomachache].

The other person's tie clip was crookedly pinned with a convenience store rice ball wrapper, and the employee badge was pinned on the left lapel of his suit. The translucent "label" on his head was particularly conspicuous.

——Huh? ?

Aiyin's grey pupils shrank slightly, her mind feeling a bit confused.

After just over ten seconds, this label gradually faded, and more labels emerged in the crowd: "Urban Blue-collar" behind the office lady's ear, "High School Student" on the head of a girl also wearing the uniform of Hanaoka Girls' Academy, and "Back Pain" on the cleaner's helmet.

Aine was a little bewildered by the incomprehensible scene before her. She took a half step back and her back touched a certain housewife’s tote bag. Immediately, a translucent “label” that read [Childcare] popped up above her head.

——Huh? ? ?!

Soon, these labels gradually disappeared.

Aine rubbed her eyes, and all the abnormalities disappeared, as if those labels had never appeared.

.........

Inside the RING cafe.

The coffee grinder behind the bar hummed sleepily, the dark brown liquid in the siphon pot rose and fell, the acrylic board next to the cash register was posted with today's recommendations, the freezer glass was covered with cold mist, and the metal tray of strawberry cream cake was reflecting the remaining morning sunlight onto the ceiling.

Amber sunlight streamed through the diamond-shaped windows, casting honey-like spots of light on the walnut tabletop.

The brown-haired girl's drooping hair was coated with a caramel color by the sunlight. When the stirring stick touched the rim of the bone china cup, the metal and ceramic collided with a clear sound, and the girl's blue eyes reflected the swirling coffee ripples.

The copper bellflowers hanging from the air-conditioning vent swayed gently. The pink-haired girl bit the edge of the straw with her canine teeth. The bubbles in the mint soda burst along the wall of the glass, and fine water droplets slid down the cup.

As if she was angry with someone, the girl took a big sip, gulped it down, and then said coquettishly with a long tail tone:

"Soyorin~ So did you listen to me just now?"

The slanting sunlight stretched the shadow of her eyelashes. The girl called Su Shiqin stopped stirring her coffee and said helplessly:

“Aine, are you kidding?”

"I swear! Absolutely not!"

The pink-haired girl crossed her arms over her chest.

Although she sometimes likes to say some weird things to liven up the atmosphere, it is absolutely impossible for her to deliberately joke and tease her friends when she is seriously looking for someone to discuss something with like now.

"So, what's the label on my head?"

Although Nagasaki Suyo didn't believe it, she still sighed and asked.

Chihaya Aine stared at the top of the brown-haired girl's head, and after a long while, she hesitated and said:

"[Crychic's Remnant]?"

To be honest, this is the most unique label Chihaya Aine has encountered since she discovered this ability.

Others have their own identities or occupations, such as "corporate animal", "housewife", and "high school student".

But Nagasaki Suyo's label is so strange...and it's related to the band.

Come to think of it, since it’s related to the band, why not a label like “MyGO!!!!! Bassist”?

Sure enough, after hearing what Chihaya Aine said, Nagasaki Motoyo's face instantly turned ugly.

She stared at Chihaya Aine in front of her with some annoyance, and her original desire to continue chatting with her had mostly disappeared.

As soon as Chihaya Aine said this, Nagasaki Suyo concluded that the other party was deliberately teasing her.

When Nagasaki Suyo put down the bone china cup, the paper crane hanging from the air-conditioning vent suddenly turned.

"There are limits to jokes."

The way she adjusted the hem of her skirt seemed to put a pause to this sentence, and the wind she created when she stood up opened the menu cover.
