Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

Tatsuya Kamio originally wanted to add Shiina's name to the author's list, but Shiina firmly refused.

In her words: "The stories were all conceived by Tatsuya. I was at most an assistant, and I can't be considered an author at all."

The next step is to finish writing the remaining chapters and then add illustrations.

Hmm, Masumi-chan, you seem to be from the art club, right?

Now your abilities will come in handy. The first step for the dragon race will be completed through the combined efforts of the three of us.

The royalties and copyright fees from this book will be the basic guarantee for our future life together!

Chapter 232 Attribute Detector? This is the Heavenly Eye!

Time passes day by day, the old year has ended, and the new year has begun.

"Happy New Year, Tatsuya." *2

"Happy New Year to you too, Masumi and Hiyori."

In Tatsuya Kamio's room, Kamuro and Shiina spent his first New Year in this era with him.

Although it's called the New Year, it's actually January 1st, but Tatsuya Kamio prefers to call it New Year's Day.

There's still a month until the actual Spring Festival, which falls on February 1st this year.

"It's getting late, we'll head back now."

After they finished celebrating the New Year together, Kamuro suddenly yawned. She was used to going to bed early and was probably already asleep.

But this is the first year they've known each other, so she must really value this New Year's Eve.

"Yes, it is indeed very late. You should go back and rest early."

"Tatsuya, goodnight."

"Good night, Masumi, Hiyori."

After seeing Kamuro and Shiina off, Kamio Tatsuya was still a little sleepy. Although it wasn't the real Lunar New Year, once the atmosphere was right, Kamio Tatsuya still felt a bit homesick.

I wonder what's happening in that world now.

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was thinking about these things, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

[The system has been upgraded to version 2.0. The initial cumulative attempts have increased by 1. The minimum initial item acquisition level is now Tier 2. The variety of items has increased, and the exchange function is now available.]

The sudden notification startled Tatsuya Kamio.

The system has been upgraded?

Moreover, all three functions are quite practical.

Tier 1 items are mostly junk, but Tier 2 items have many useful things. Now Tier 1 items are gone!

Hahaha!

With anticipation, Tatsuya Kamio opened his inventory. The newly added items included many useful things, such as a storage bag that could be exchanged for four points.

It has theoretically unlimited space inside, which can store things that are not usually used, without increasing the weight of the storage bag itself.

This is practically an essential item for home and travel; to put it bluntly, it's a powerful tool for smuggling.

Moreover, once the storage bag is bound to its owner, it can be stored inside the body, so there's no fear of it being stolen, making it extremely convenient.

In addition, the body repair potion (perfect) that Kamio Tatsuya used before can also be redeemed for only twelve points.

That means you can get this in eleven months.

In addition to the top-grade body repair potion, there are also three grades: low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. The lowest-grade potion can be redeemed with just two points.

In other words, Tatsuya Kamio can redeem it now.

And don't underestimate this rudimentary device; it can even regenerate partial limbs.

It can grow into a fleshy body about the size of a palm.

As for superficial injuries, they can be healed instantly after taking it.

The intermediate level is more powerful; it's a fourth-tier item that can be drawn after accumulating three points. However, to exchange for it, you need five points, which means it takes four months.

It can completely repair one or two limbs, depending on the body type. For example, someone like Sakayanagi can basically have two arms repaired.

But for someone like Yamada Albert, it's doubtful he'd even be able to regrow an arm.

However, neither basic nor intermediate medicines can repair internal organs; only advanced or higher-level medicines are needed to repair them.

Advanced repair agents can directly repair cells throughout the body. Even if internal organs are missing, as long as the person is alive and the drug can be absorbed by the body, the repair will be effective.

It can quickly repair injuries and treat diseases.

For most people, that's a life!

However, the newly grown limbs will be relatively weak and will require a certain period of exercise and recuperation.

The advanced repair potion is a tier 7 item. It has a chance to be obtained by drawing a player with 6 or more points, and requires 8 points to exchange for it.

As for the perfect-grade potion, it can change the physical body according to the soul, and this is the grade that Kamio Tatsuya took.

However, the fact that perfect-grade potions cannot be used by others is a drawback that isn't really a major flaw.

Putting all that aside, Kamio Tatsuya discovered something incredibly powerful among the second-tier items—an attribute detector.

After redeeming this item, you can view other people's attributes, namely strength, agility, intelligence, and stamina.

It is a Tier 2 item, and you have a chance to draw it on your first draw, but you need three points to redeem it.

After looking through all the items in the inventory, Tatsuya Kamio clicked on the lottery with high hopes, and then...

Congratulations on drawing the Attribute Prospector.

……

Oh my god, I was just thinking about this thing, and now I've already won it. Am I just too lucky?

Or is the system favoring me?

The attribute detector is shaped like an eyeball, which looks rather creepy. To use it, you place it close to your forehead, and it will then blend into your skin.

Then you can use its functions.

It feels like they've gained supernatural insight; that's interesting.

Following the instructions, Tatsuya Kamio placed the eye-like object on his forehead, and it gradually shrank until it completely merged into his forehead.

Is this considered a success?

Kamio Tatsuya scratched his head, feeling nothing.

Then he turned on the TV and watched the people hosting the New Year's Eve gala, but nothing changed.

Is it absolutely necessary to do it in person?

But it's so late...

Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was thinking this, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Kamuro walked in from outside.

"Masumi?" Tatsuya Kamio was quite surprised. "What brings you here?"

"Of course I missed you, you idiot." Kamuro glanced at Tatsuya Kamio, then lay down on the bed. "I'm sleeping here tonight."

Oh, so that's why you missed me, hehe...

Since Christmas Eve, the two had not had any intimate contact, so although Kamio Tatsuya really wanted to, Shiina couldn't bring herself to say it.

But I didn't expect that I wasn't the only one who thought of it.

But something's strange, is this item a fake? I didn't see any attributes for the Kamuroshiro.

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was thinking this, a light screen appeared in front of him, and then the attributes of Kamuro were displayed on it.

Power: 3

Agility: 5

Intelligence: 3

Stamina: 4

Kamio Tatsuya's four dimensions are 4-7-5-4.

Aside from physical strength, it was a complete annihilation. Moreover, seeing Kamuro's intelligence, Kamio Tatsu realized that the detector was really accurate, because Kamuro was indeed not very smart.

Even though Sakayanagi kept tutoring her, her grades were basically mediocre.

However, even though their physical attributes are similar, Kamuro is always the one who begs for mercy first. It seems that even if the numbers are the same, there are still differences.

After all, there's quite a difference between 4.01 and 4.99.

Chapter 233 is simply a joke

Because he went to bed late yesterday, Tatsuya Kamio woke up around noon, just in time for lunch.

The good news is that Kamuro is still sleeping in his arms; the bad news is that there seems to be some noise coming from the kitchen.

Without a doubt, besides Tatsuya Kamio himself, the only person who has a key to Tatsuya Kamio's room, besides the one currently in his arms, is Shiina.

Sure enough, just as Kamio Tatsuya woke up, the bedroom door was pushed open and Shiina walked in. When she saw Kamio Tatsuya and Kamuro, she blushed.

But there were no other reactions besides that, it seems that the previous Q&A session had greatly changed Shiina's mindset.

"I brought you lunch, would you like to get up and eat together?"

"How did you know we hadn't eaten?" Tatsuya Kamio asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because I messaged both of you, but neither of you replied." Shiina took out her phone, looking helpless. "Turns out Masumi-chan sneaked back last night after all."

“Ahahahaha?”

Kamio Tatsuya had no choice but to pretend to be stupid.

At this moment, Kamuroku also woke up.

"Is it morning yet?"

"It's already noon."

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless for a moment, then pinched Kamuro's sensitive area with his hand hidden under the blanket.

"ah!"

The sudden attack made Kamuro sit up abruptly, the blanket sliding down her smooth skin to reveal her exquisite upper body.

Shiina looked at Kamuro's feminine features, then looked down at herself, a look of frustration on her face.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Tatsuya Kamio. If it were just him and Shiina together, Tatsuya Kamio would definitely have said to her: "Small is also cute."

However, their relationship hasn't progressed to the final stage yet, and Kamuro is also present, so it's best not to say that.

At that moment, Kamuro also noticed Shiina in the room. After another exclamation, he pulled the blanket over himself and shrank back under the covers.

"Hiyori, what are you doing here?"

These dry words sound like someone caught cheating.

"Alright, alright, you guys should get up quickly. I'll go check if lunch is ready." Shiina glanced helplessly at Kamuro and Tatsuya Kamio, then walked out of the bedroom.

Kamuro and Tatsuya Kamio immediately took advantage of the time to crawl out of bed, get dressed, and start washing up.

The three of them then had lunch together. After that, Tatsuya Kamio started writing the manuscript. Shiina polished the sentences, and Kamuro drew flower illustrations for the characters.

The three had a clear division of labor and did not disturb each other, creating a very harmonious atmosphere in the room.

In the evening, Tatsuya Kamio, who had been sitting in the kotatsu all afternoon, crawled out of the kotatsu and stretched to loosen up his body.

"Should I go out and buy some groceries for dinner?" Tatsuya Kamio stood up and immediately suggested, "Hmm, how about we go out for hot pot tonight?"

"Sure, hot pot really goes well with winter."

"I'm fine with either." Kamuro also paused writing for a moment. "But I'd rather have noodles than rice."

"These are minor matters, so you should hurry up and pack up and go out for dinner," Tatsuya Kamio urged. "Besides, sitting all afternoon without moving around isn't good for your health."

About ten minutes later, Tatsuya Kamio led the tidy-up Kamuro and Shiina to the Keyaki Shopping Center.

Because it was the New Year, not many shops were open, but fortunately one Chinese restaurant was open; Kamio Tatsuya had been there before.

So I knew I could eat hot pot here.
