Great, now we are dead!

【Destiny Coin (Sugawa Nobuyuki Aika) 1】

"Um?!"

Wait, what the heck? Did I do something?

Huh? Sugo... loves flowers?

Backstreet Girls... Backstreet Girls... I'm not some kind of demon...

Ah!

Ye Shou's pupils dilated slightly as fragments of memories surfaced in his mind, bringing him sudden clarity.

But then he fell into deep thought, then looked lost, and tried hard to stay composed...

I finally couldn't help but laugh.

……

Ye Shou looked carefully at the entries that the system card had refreshed this time, and was greatly disappointed.

Although he knew that this thing was highly random and that he wouldn't always be able to find the theme he needed, or that it might contain abilities that suited him, it was like a gacha pool, and he was always full of anticipation before the results came out.

"A romantic comedy... are you still talking about this now?"

Ye Shou curled his lip.

Not to mention that he has absolutely no interest in this topic, even if he changes his mind one day and decides to devote himself to the pleasures of the heart, he will not need these terms to reduce the difficulty of the strategy.

However, now that it's already been detected, there shouldn't be any other system glitch in this cycle, so let's try to investigate it. Maybe we can find something useful?

"【Tree Flag】...I see, it means it will notify you that you can start the romance after the event happens...【Insensitivity】? What is that...If someone confesses to me, I'll pretend I didn't understand, and people will think I'm just slow-witted, so my affection level won't drop...I didn't want to be a herbivore male lead!"

After pondering for a while in his room, since it wasn't a combat-related keyword he cared about, he quickly made a decision:

Choose a negative keyword to accumulate 18 points, and use 17 of those points to exchange for four positive keywords.

负:

The Curse of Orthopedics

正:

My Superman

[Synergy], [Assist]

[Action Power]

……

Among them, "My Superman" is an option whose specific effects are unclear, but it is quite appealing to Ye Shou.

If it performs well in the next month, Ye Shou even thinks it's worth buying it outright.

Its description is rather vague, but simply put, it means that once an "important person" is in trouble, once they make up their mind to take action, they will be "divinely assisted" in doing things!

There are no specific numbers or success rates mentioned, but considering various classic romantic comedy scenes, what is being discussed here is likely something akin to fortune or something superstitious.

After all, the upper and lower limits of such works are extremely wide. Liberating a chuunibyou girlfriend from her psychological trauma is "My Superman," and chatting and laughing with a father-in-law who rules the galaxy for the sake of a wife who falls from the sky can also be described as "My Superman."

It's hard to say whether someone is love-struck!

Ye Shou was still willing to take a gamble on this highly uncertain ability.

He pays more attention to the premise of "important people". If the target here is not limited to lovers, but can also be family, friends, subordinates or the like, then Ye Shou has a very wide range of powerful luck buffs.

Although it's only worth a "6" and not strong enough to interfere with the law of causality, sometimes it's just a matter of luck and a bit of wishful thinking!

The next two effects, [Bond] and [Assist], are aura effects that apply to "comrades," increasing the bond with those around them and thus amplifying cooperative effects. Then, when facing difficulties, those around them will provide even more assistance.

Romantic comedies are old tropes... but Ye Shou wants to see if they can be applied to other things.

The only thing I'm certain about is my [action] ability to buy it:

Based on the bond and affinity, provide others with a certain degree of stimulation to enhance their enthusiasm and initiative.

If this were in a youth movie, it would probably only serve to prompt the male and female leads to confess their feelings, or to encourage the third party to make a move. But if it were in Ye Shou's case... hey!

Employee morale will definitely increase significantly!

As for the only negative term, Ye Shouze played a little trick:

[A Blessing from the Orthopedics Department]

—I don't even have a sister, why would I be afraid of you!?

This morally offensive term had no effect on Ye Shou; it was like giving him free points.

"No big moves this month... I should take a good rest."

After taking care of everything, Ye Shou let out a long sigh and lay down on the bed. With his current physical condition, sleeping was no longer a necessity, but he still maintained his usual routine.

[Ghost Brain] Relaxes all the muscles in your body, from internal organs to nerves, and finally the activity level of the brain, gradually reducing it and entering a state of deep sleep...

……

"Hello everyone, I'm Asuna Yuuki."

A beautiful girl with long chestnut hair wrote her name on the blackboard, bowed to the students in the classroom, and her light and pleasant voice made people feel good about her.

"Because I enrolled early, I'm probably younger than everyone else. Please forgive any immature behavior I might exhibit... Please take good care of me in the future."

The Chinese language teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher, chuckled softly, "So meticulous! Although she's young, her manners are quite impeccable. Boys, cheer! The class's 'girl power' has increased again!"

The class burst into laughter. The boys were naturally pleased, and the girls were quite happy as well—Asuna looked like the kind of well-behaved girl.

Asuna, with her composed and graceful demeanor, exudes the aura of a noble lady, blending in quite harmoniously into this school full of young ladies.

"Then... I'll sit next to Fujiwara-san."

The teacher thought she needed to find someone outgoing and popular to help Asuna adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible, and immediately spotted Chika, whose eyes were shining.

"Ok."

"This way, this way!"

Chika eagerly helped her put down the chair. "From now on, we're neighbors, Asuna-chan!"

Calling someone "sauce" the moment you meet them?

Asuna blinked, offering a perfectly polite smile, though she was actually a little awkward dealing with someone like Chika. It wasn't that she disliked her, but rather envied her, even a little jealous.

This is probably due to her family upbringing; Asuna can't be as free-spirited as Chika.

"Please take care of me from now on, Fujiwara-kun."

Just call me Qianhua.

Chika was clearly excited, while Asuna looked flattered.

Perhaps because she is a year younger and her body is not fully developed, Asuna and Chika look like an older sister and a younger sister when placed together, which is more different than they actually are.

"Everyone here is a very nice person, Asuna-chan, you don't need to be nervous."

Chika pointed and said, "By the way, the person to your left is Kuze Hakami."

"Kusei..."

Asuna was clearly stunned when she heard this, and her body stiffened.

Chika's eyes lit up: "You were really shocked, weren't you? Just as I thought! I've been wanting to see how others would react to this for a long time. Thank you, Asuna!"

"Fujiwara?"

At this point, the teacher on the podium couldn't hold back any longer, "What are you muttering about?"

"To!"

Fujiwara instinctively replied, "He didn't say anything!"

"Class is about to start, don't get distracted."

The teacher glanced at her helplessly and shook his head.

"Know it"

"Don't let Yuuki-san be affected... Of course, Fujiwara is a good girl, she just wants to get along with you."

"I understand, teacher."

Asuna sat in her seat, bowing slightly, extremely politely.

This made the teacher remark, "Even among young ladies, there are differences in social standing."

After some fuss, the teacher began the formal lesson. Qianhua calmed her restless heart and listened attentively, occasionally jotting down notes—good grades directly affected how much pocket money she received, so she couldn't be careless.

Asuna sat down seriously, trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't help but sneak a glance to her left while the teacher was talking non-stop.

Just a meter away from her, a bright-eyed, black-haired boy sat by the window, flipping through a book with little interest. He seemed detached from the rest of the classroom, not caring what the teacher or classmates were saying, just passing the time on his own.

Compared to the photos in the news, she seemed to have more presence in person—the girl glanced at it quickly and then looked away, focusing her gaze on the blackboard, though her eyes were slightly unfocused.

The Yuki family is a large and powerful family. Asuna's father is the CEO of [Rect]. He resigned after the SAO scandal, but he is still the chief seat of the board of directors. Because he has clung to Kuze's coattails, his status has become even more extraordinary.

Her mother was a university professor, a typical highly educated woman who advocated elite education for her children. Asuna's brother was a given, and even though she was a girl, she was still strictly disciplined.

It could be said that her upbringing is somewhat similar to Ruri's, except that Maid Girl's story is more like Cinderella's, and she suffers much more than Asuna in every aspect.

Therefore, despite being only 16 years old, Asuna was not a sheltered young lady who knew nothing, and she could vaguely guess her parents' intention in arranging for her to transfer schools.

It should be noted that she was not a student in the elementary school of Shuchiin Academy. She was originally in another prestigious girls' school, but her family suddenly enrolled her in Shuchiin Academy, skipping a grade and going directly into the second year of high school.

This arrangement was too unusual and too abrupt. The only reason Asuna could think of was her current left neighbor, Kuze Hakami!

Perhaps her family wants her to get along well with this young master, or even take things further... It sounds a bit too cruel to expect such things from a sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of her life.

However, although Asuna guessed her parents' intentions, she didn't know how to respond to their expectations.

Ultimately, just keeping up with the second-year high school curriculum was already quite challenging. Although I did complete the required courses, Shuchiin Academy's level was far superior to that of the girls' academy...

"Father, Mother, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you" Asuna glanced at Ye Shou, who happened to be turning his head thoughtfully. Startled, she blinked quickly and pretended to look away naturally.

Chapter 89 The Despicable Fujiwara

"Our cafeteria accepts meal orders. You can select your food in advance on the app and then pick it up at noon using the digital code."

“Awesome”

"This ordering system, the equipment for the new multimedia classroom, and the setup of the campus LAN server were all basically done by Xiao Shou. It's getting more and more convenient every day than before."

"Kuse-kun...are you that enthusiastic?"

Asuna, carrying the food tray, left through the window with Chika, listening to her new classmate's endless rambling. Six or seven of the ten things she talked about were related to Hamori, which piqued the chestnut-haired girl's curiosity.
