A night without words.
The next day.
Kitahara Makoto opened his eyes, awakened by his biological clock.
The first thing he did after waking up was to take out the answer book and ask the question he had been thinking about all last night.
"…Is it possible for my future self to achieve a harem ending?"
Kitahara Makoto placed his right hand on the book and asked nervously.
Whoosh.
The answer book turned pages rapidly without any wind.
A line of text quickly appeared on the blank page.
[Where there's a will, there's a way]
"So it's a success?"
Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up, and he felt relieved.
When he said he wanted a harem before, it was actually just an opportune boast, and he didn't have much confidence internally. Now it seems, it might actually be possible to achieve a harem ending.
Even if the road is difficult and the hope is slim, as long as there is a possibility, he cannot easily give up!
Satisfied, Kitahara Makoto put down the answer book, rubbed the Beast Eared Girl's small head, and then walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
During this time, Kitahara Makoto opened the System again to check today's daily tasks.
[Daily Task One: Two thousand push-ups]
[Task Description: Omitted]
[Daily Task Two: Two hundred burpees]
[Task Description: Omitted]
[Daily Task Three: One evil deed a day]
[Task Description: Omitted]
[Daily Task Four: Zenless Zone Zero]
[Task Description: The game "Zenless Zone Zero" has officially launched its open beta. Download "Zenless Zone Zero" and experience the game for one hour.]
"Today's good."
Kitahara Makoto clicked his tongue lightly. Today's tasks were quite simple, so it seemed he would be able to get the lottery chances.
After returning home last night, the exorcist task was not completed, and he didn't even get any lottery chances.
After washing up.
Kitahara Makoto came to the living room and immediately began the push-up task.
When the task was completed, his phone just happened to ring. He picked it up and saw it was a message from Chihaya Anon:
"Kitahara-kun, good morning!"
Immediately after, she sent a bright smiling dog emoji, clearly indicating the pink-haired girl was in a very good mood.
Chihaya Anon continued to send messages: "I went to sleep at nine o'clock last night and slept until now. I finally didn't have any nightmares. Now I just feel refreshed and reborn!"
"Kitahara-kun really didn't lie to me. I'll be counting on you again tonight."
Kitahara Makoto: "So, you actually didn't believe me yesterday?"
Chihaya Anon: "Eh heh~"
"…"
After a brief chat with Anon, Kitahara Makoto ate breakfast and left for school. During this time, he sent a message to Little Miss Anxiety:
"Hitori-chan, want to go to school together?"
Gotō Hitori: "S-sorry, I'm already on the Train."
Ever since Kitahara Makoto said 'let's all date together,' the attitudes of the four girls varied.
Nijika's attitude was one of helplessness. Firstly, she already knew, and secondly, she clearly understood that the reason Kitahara Makoto said this was most likely to make everyone dislike him, thereby avoiding the fate of being 'chopped'.
Yamada Ryo… was calm and unfathomable. Her promise of 'buy one get one free' might even have been sincere.
Kita's reaction was the strongest, both disgusted and shocked, stating that she would absolutely never agree to date together.
As for Bocchi-chan… when she was with everyone, she always kept her head down and didn't speak. He hadn't found an opportunity to be alone with her, and last night when he asked if he should pick up Mrs. Goto, unfortunately, Mrs. Goto wasn't working overtime, so he really didn't know what Bocchi-chan was thinking.
However, now that he had the answer book, he could totally find an opportunity to skip class…
The journey was silent.
Kitahara Makoto arrived at school. Today, he didn't go to the club room but went directly to the classroom.
Because it was still early, the classroom was empty, with only a few people.
"Kitahara-kun, good morning."
Togawa Sakiko looked up and said softly.
Kitahara Makoto was slightly startled: "…Good morning."
She actually took the initiative to say hello. It seems that day's incident is mostly in the past…
The classroom was very quiet. Although their conversation was not loud, it still attracted the attention of other classmates.
Seeing people casting curious glances, Togawa Sakiko quickly lowered her eyes and looked down at her book.
Seeing this, Kitahara Makoto sat down as well.
"Poke poke—"
Not long after, Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt someone gently poking his back.
He turned his head to see Togawa Sakiko resting her left hand on her chin, holding a pen in her right hand, looking at him. The bright sunlight streamed in from the window, falling precisely on Togawa-san's profile, instantly giving off a stunningly beautiful and captivating impression.
Seeing Kitahara Makoto turn his head to look, Togawa Sakiko secretly winked, then handed him a notepad.
Kitahara Makoto calmly took the notepad, which had a line of elegant handwriting:
"Mrs. Sato contacted me last night and said that several of her friends wanted to try the magical weight loss therapy. I agreed. Does Kitahara-kun have time today?"
Mrs. Sato's friends?
They should all be rich ladies then…
Kitahara Makoto pondered for two seconds, then wrote down his question: "Around what time?"
Not long after, the notepad was passed back: "The time is set for seven o'clock in the evening."
Kitahara Makoto: "That won't work. I have something on tonight. Tomorrow night is fine."
Togawa Sakiko: "Okay, I'll contact Mrs. Sato."
Kitahara Makoto: "I'll leave everything to Togawa-san."
Togawa Sakiko: "Also, the temporary charge for one weight loss session is one million yen. Does Kitahara-kun have any thoughts?"
Kitahara Makoto: "Won't that be a bit too expensive?"
Togawa Sakiko: "Kitahara-kun, don't underestimate the spending power of the rich, and don't underestimate women's obsession with losing weight."
"…"
The notepad was passed back and forth between the two, and before they knew it, it was already class time.
As the bell rang, Togawa Sakiko finally stopped, looked at the nearly used-up notepad, her pretty face flushed slightly, and then secretly put the notepad into her school bag.
In a blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.
As soon as Kitahara Makoto walked out of the classroom, he received a message from Kita.
"Hey, Stupid Kitahara, wait for me in the hallway!"
"Received."
Kitahara Makoto walked to a secluded corner of the hallway and began to wait quietly.
Not long after, Kita secretly snuck over, clutching her school bag.
"Your bento."
Confirming that there was no one nearby, Kita Ikuyo opened her school bag and took out a bento, handing it over.
Kitahara Makoto took the bento with both hands and said earnestly:
"Thank you, Kita-sama, for your kindness in feeding me."
"Hmph~"
Kita Ikuyo lightly hummed, then stretched out her small hand and said:
"Where's the biscuit?"
"Here."
Kitahara Makoto naturally didn't hesitate, taking out the magical biscuit and handing it to Kita.
The transaction was complete.
Kita turned to leave: "I'm going back."
Seeing Kita about to leave, Kitahara Makoto spoke up:
"Wait a moment."
"What are you doing?" Kita covered her chest with both hands, looking over warily, "We agreed yesterday that I'd only bring you bento, and I wouldn't eat bento with you anymore."
