"Um … Editor Yoshizawa, actually I …" Seiji opened his mouth to explain.
"You don't need to say anything else, Harano. I already understand your resolution." Saki interrupted him with a flushed face and looked directly at his face.
"Amami-san believes that you're an excellent employee, and that you're a hardworking and proactive person. I believe in her judgment.
Plus, from what I can tell, you're quite beautiful, have a good personality, and have similar interests to Mayuzumi's. You're also talented, and you're an ideal partner for Mayuzumi. "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Even though you and Mayuzumi might not necessarily end up together, I think it's good that you have such resolution. Mayuzumi … she's a girl who really needs to be taken care of. Please take good care of her and treat her well. "
After saying this, Saki bowed towards Seiji in a serious manner.
"In that case, let's end our conversation here. I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."
After saying this, Saki bowed towards Rika Amami as well, glanced once more at Seiji, and turned around to leave.
Her face was still flushed red as she left, and her footsteps seemed to be in a hurry.
Did this mean that he had … escaped? Seiji was rather confused.
Just what was going on!?
He turned towards the store owner, only to see that she was covering her mouth and turning her head away, her shoulders constantly shaking.
"Store owner!"
"My apologies … Haruta-kun, I really couldn't help it, hehehe …" Rika Amami chuckled.
This was the first time Seiji had ever seen the store owner laugh like this.
The seductively beautiful store owner covered her mouth with one hand and hugged herself with the other. She couldn't help but laugh, and her ample breasts kept jiggling under her blouse. The entire scene was filled with seduction.
'Sigh …' Seiji sighed and was about to say something when suddenly, there was a 'smack'.
A faint but clear sound came from the store owner's magnificent breasts.
What followed this sound was a tiny, crystalline … button!
Seiji's eyes widened.
Time seemed to have slowed down at this moment. He could clearly see the small buttons flying out, as well as the beautiful store manager's open blouse. He could see the beautiful sight of a red envelope wrapped in a beautiful white skin …
Ahhh, this was the legendary 'Kill Will Die' —
Huge R Slam Dunk!!!
This touching scene only lasted for a moment.
But Seiji felt eternity from it!
To be able to witness this scene, so what if he was laughed at? So what if he was misunderstood?
Everything was worth it!
Clatter, clatter, clatter … The button that flew out fell to the floor, rolled for a while, and stopped right in front of the boy.
With a pious heart, Seiji picked up the button.
"Aiya, really, why did it collapse again!" Rika Amami couldn't help but blush as she covered her blouse with her hands. "Haruta-kun, that button …"
"Manager."
Seiji clenched the button tightly, his expression as pure and holy as that of an enlightened monk.
"Can you give this holy relic to me?"
"… Huh?" Rika was a little confused. "What holy … what are you talking about?"
"Holy relic … cough cough, I mean this button, can you give it to me?"
"What do you want that button for?" Rika looked at the boy, dumbfounded. She suddenly thought of something, and her face reddened even more.
"No! Give me back the button! "
"Eh? Can't I? I just want to take it back and worship it … "
"Worship my ass!!"
For the first time, Rika Amami retorted to her own employee. Her beautiful eyes widened, her cheeks flushed, and she covered her chest with her hands. Her dignified image as the store manager was completely ruined.
"Hurry up and give me back the button, then get out!"
"Oh … Okay." Seiji had a regretful expression as he reluctantly placed the button on the table.
"Do you really want it that much?" Rika's face reddened. "Honestly, Haruta-kun, you … you're such a handsome boy, but you're acting so strangely …"
"Store manager, you know that I'm an otaku, right?" Seiji looked out the window as if he was looking into the distance.
"Otakus all have a gentlemanly (perverted) soul within their hearts."
Rika was rendered speechless.
In the end, the gentleman who didn't manage to obtain the holy relic (button) could only leave the store manager's office regretfully.
Before he left, he thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for your hospitality," but the beautiful store manager simply rolled her eyes at him.
'It doesn't matter!'
Seiji was in a good mood.
That legendary scene left a deep impression on him. Compared to that, being misunderstood by the cold and beautiful editor was just a small matter! All he had to do was explain everything in the future.
With high enthusiasm, he quickly threw himself back into work.
…
After he finished his work.
Seiji took his notebook back to his apartment, entered it into his computer, and sent it to Saki Yoshizawa's email.
"That's good. I don't know when I'll receive a reply, so hopefully it'll be soon." He stretched lazily.
At this time, Seiji finally had the mood to open up his system and check how many points he had earned from pulling an all-nighter to "write a story."
The result was 10 points!
It seemed quite generous, but when considering the amount of time he spent on it, the efficiency wasn't that high.
"Also, the options have turned dark, so I can't choose any more today … Yesterday's" write a story "action will continue until today, so today's action will also be counted, so this is actually two days worth of points." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
10 points for two days, 5 points for every day … It seemed pretty good, but it wouldn't be good if he needed so much time every time.
"I'll see how many points I can earn tomorrow if I don't pull all-nighters and just 'write a story' normally."
Seiji looked at the other "action" options.
Diary and drawing could be ignored as usual, but there were two other options that he could do: "Write prose (required 40 points of learning)" and "Write poetry (required 40 points of learning and 25 points of charisma)."
He didn't say anything else and immediately began.
Writing prose was relatively easy. With sharp strokes, Seiji only needed to imagine a few scenes and express his emotions.
Writing poetry … Seiji scratched his head.
Specifically, it was similar to writing prose. He also needed to imagine the scenes and express his emotions, but he had to put in more of his emotions. The words he wrote had to be more concise and concise.
If he used an analogy to describe it, Seiji felt that writing prose was like casually pouring sand. As for writing poetry, he had to create an hourglass. He didn't just casually pour the sand, but in a certain way. The sand would be poured down bit by bit, forming a beautiful sand dune.
It felt rather strenuous.
After he finished writing the poem, Seiji looked at it. He was unable to judge if it was good or not.
The points he earned were 2 and 3, 2 for prose, and 3 for poetry.
Not bad.
Seiji guessed that the normal income from "writing" should be 3 or 4 points, with the possibility of 4 points being more likely.
Even if he calculated it at 3 points, he could earn 8 points per day from all the "activities" related to writing. In just four days, he could earn more than 30 points from the activation card for writing!
Seiji felt that his choice was correct. As expected, taking the path of development was the way to go.
Why don't I exchange for the activation card next? He felt that it was doable.
After all, he could finish writing the novel and enter it into the computer. It was just a matter of time. There was no need to be in a hurry to exchange for the "writing card — computer."
The card's price was quite low compared to the activation card. 55 points!
Seiji finally understood. Without sufficient daily activities, skill cards were all useless!
Even "bullet time" was included …
However, "bullet time" was a limited-time discount. Although it slowed down his development, it saved him 75 points.
Was this considered a profit or a loss? Seiji couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Forget it. He shouldn't think too much about it.
He was exhausted from last night. It was time for a good rest. Seiji yawned.
