Matsushima.
Nifuji wasn't that sure about what this city was about, but based on his general understanding, it is widely celebrated as one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Views (Nihon Sankei), alongside Miyajima and Amanohashidate. It is best known for its bay, which is dotted with more than 260 pine-clad islets that create a unique and timeless seascape.
"Is that so?" Chika asked as she sat next to him.
"Yup." Nifuji nodded, then said, "But don't get too close. You will make me react."
"...aren't you too easy to get hard?" Chika didn't hate it, thinking as it showed that Nifuji was healthy.
"...."
What should Nifuji say?
He wasn't sure, but he knew he enjoyed this trip, and as they would take three hours to reach Matsuhima, the two enjoyed the train bento, known as Ekiben, from their seats: Gyuniku Domannaka and Ebi Senryo Chirashi.
"This shrimp is so delicious!"
Chika ate the long shape of ebi on her soft lips, which were now glistening due to the oil.
As for Nifuji, his bento was solid, as it was the #1 best-seller, consisting of tender beef and ground beef over premium Yamagata rice.
"I want to taste yours, Onii-chan! Ahh~!"
Chika opened her mouth, waiting for him to feed her.
"Haven't you eaten it before?"
"But it's different!
"What's the difference?"
"Anyway, feed me! Ahh!"
Facing Chika's insistence, Nifuji was helpless, but in the end, he fed her.
"Yummy~!"
"Is it?"
"Yes, try some of mine, too, Onii-chan!"
"Ahhh..."
Nifuji didn't refuse and let her feed him, to which she then smiled lovingly, staring at him, waiting for his reaction.
"Is it good?"
"Yup."
"But, I won't give you more~!"
"..." Nifuji.
"I was kidding."
"It's fine, but have you thought about what you are planning when we arrive there?"
This trip wasn't cheap.
Yup, the one-way train fare from Tokyo to Matsushima was 12,000 yen!
For two people, and if he included the return cost, the total would be 48,000 yen.
Still, he got 480,000 yen due to his system, so it was okay, but Chika was worried. "Is it okay for you to spend so much money, Onii-chan?"
"It's fine." Nifuji leaned on his comfortable chair as he looked at Chika, who looked at him, and said, "My income is quite high, so it is fine."
Yup, in just a moment, an income that one had to spend a month to get.
"It's so easy for you to make money, Onii-chan."
"Is it?"
"Well..." Chika then leaned on him and hugged his arm. "But I know that you are working hard to earn it."
"....."
Sorry, Nifuji didn't work hard at all, as he got all the money from the system, yet this was also the reason why he worked quite hard, since if he somehow lost his system, he would be okay.
Money and economy might be lost, but an individual's skills or abilities would continue to live with them.
Even if this country were destroyed due to bankruptcy and many other things, he wasn't afraid, as he knew that he would be okay.
Still, as Chika had said, if he didn't have a system, it would be impossible for him to take a trip like this. After all, no matter where people worked, especially in this company, even if they worked for the proper company instead of the black company, they would work till they were broken.
They were treated like machines that would never get tired, but people forgot that even machines needed to be maintained; if one continued to work it without maintenance, it would break.
Regardless, if he didn't have the system, then he knew that it would be impossible for him to have a lot of women, and even if he did, he would only have one instead of many—why?
Did the author start to reflect on himself and didn't think that a harem was possible?
No, it was because of the reality.
One woman was already hard enough, as they needed constant maintenance and love.
If one were unemployed or had a wealthy family, then it might be okay, as they had no need to work and just enjoyed themselves, but Nifuji had to work, and because of that, his time was limited.
Even if he had cut his working time to a few hours, sometimes, he just couldn't help but look at his work, thinking about the improvements and all the other things that he hadn't finished.
At the same time, a certain part of him felt like resting was a sin.
It was as if he felt that not doing anything at all was wrong.
Nifuji wasn't sure whether someone had felt these feelings, but he knew that many should have felt similar feelings to him, as if afraid of resting, as it felt like they would be left behind.
"Is it?"
"It is!"
Facing Nifuji's gentle smile, Chika quickly grabbed him tightly. "Don't force yourselves, okay?"
"I think that you are the one who shouldn't force yourself."
"I am fine. I am young!"
"Are you telling me that I am old?"
"Te-he~!"
Yet, Nifuji also knew that the reason why Chika was all excited and full of energy was that she had nothing, and because she had nothing, she feared nothing.
Also, Chika had him, so even if she ended up a failure, it didn't matter, as she could either keep trying or just give him everything.
Also, it was fortunate for him to have the system, which made his life easier.
Nevertheless, when they arrived at the Sendai Station, which was the transfer station, they bought many specialties of Sendai from Date Masamune Beer, Coelacanth Monaka, Sasa Kamaboko, Zunda (Sweetened Green Soybean Paste), and even Gyutan.
"...I am going to get fat."
Looking at all the food, Chika rubbed her belly with a sigh.
"Then, don't eat."
"How cruel!" Chika pouted, then asked, "Are you not afraid of getting fat, Onii-chan?"
"I am the type that doesn't get fat from eating a lot."
Yup, due to many of his abilities, which he received, he wasn't afraid to get fat, or rather, it was practically impossible for him to get fat, as his digestive system and metabolism were just so powerful.
"...don't say that again, Onii-chan."
"Why?"
"I want to bite you to death... no, I just want to..."
Chika wasn't sure what she wanted to do with Nifuji, but she was extremely envious!
"Then, you don't want to eat?"
"I want to too!"
"Don't worry about the fat. I will help you with an interesting workout."
"....."
Chika took a bite of Zunda as the mellow sweetness furled over her tongue, yet she had to say, her face was so red and hot, as she couldn't wait to be enjoyed by "him."
