After reading the comments, Tanaka Masao realized it was getting late.
Tanaka Masao, who had already thought it through, casually added his free attribute points to Constitution.
This attribute was the most suitable for him at the moment.
Society was relatively stable now, so strength and agility were not very useful to him.
Moreover, he had his battle armor, so he wasn't afraid of danger.
Tanaka Masao had also considered adding points to Luck.
However, this thing was too mysterious; adding it might have the same effect as not adding it.
So he decided against it and put the points into the more practical Constitution.
He was now exercising at high intensity every day, which would inevitably cause wear and tear on his body.
With good Constitution, he wouldn't have to worry about these things.
As the attribute points were added, a warm current swept through Tanaka Masao's entire body.
The tingling sensation made him feel incredibly refreshed.
This feeling was like a reward for his entire body; its wonderfulness was indescribable.
The comfortable feeling lasted for a few minutes before ending.
Tanaka Masao stretched his body.
"Ah, it's like I've become eighteen years younger."
He had been restored to factory settings.
...
Monday.
Today, our Kashi was going to school.
When Tanaka Masao arrived at the Service Club in the afternoon, he saw Yukinoshita Yukino, who was not in a very good mood.
After a week of interaction, with Yukinoshita Yukino's persistent feeding, she had already grown closer to Kashi.
Just as she was about to take another step and touch the cat ears she had been longing for, Kashi left.
Kashi going to school meant that Yukinoshita Yukino almost lost the chance to see her.
How could this not make her feel sad?
She was so close to succeeding!
Looking at the somewhat dazed Yukinoshita Yukino, Tanaka Masao roughly guessed what she was thinking.
Kashi, you're really a profound sinner.
He decided to divert Yukinoshita Yukino's attention.
"Yukinoshita Classmate, did you know that after unremitting efforts, my weight has almost decreased by five kilograms?"
"Oh, really?"
Yukinoshita Yukino simply responded, not showing much emotion.
"Yukinoshita Classmate is so cold. Shouldn't you be feeling a great sense of accomplishment and be a little happier at this moment?"
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino finally came back to her senses, tilted her head, and looked at Tanaka Masao with some confusion.
"Happy? Why should I be happy?"
Tanaka Masao stopped his training movements and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with the eyes of a scumbag.
"Yukinoshita Classmate, how can you be so heartless?"
Yukinoshita Yukino said nothing, just quietly watched Tanaka Masao's performance.
"Yukinoshita Classmate, no matter what, I am the Service Club's only customer so far, and I've provided the Service Club with half a year, even a year's worth of performance in one go."
"Stop!"
Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted Tanaka Masao, frowning as she spoke.
"I always feel like your words are a bit strange. 'Customer,' 'performance,' and so on, it's like doing business.
I accept requests only for my ideals; the Service Club doesn't need so-called performance.
However, you said one thing correctly: there is a sense of accomplishment.
Watching Tanaka-kin become more like a normal person day by day under my training, I can't help but marvel at my own brilliance.
To be able to achieve the great feat of 'modifying humans,' could it be that I am actually a god?"
Looking at the earnest Yukinoshita Yukino, Tanaka Masao suddenly burst out laughing.
"I've always thought, even from before, that Yukinoshita Classmate seems a bit chuunibyou."
Before, he had always been blinded by Yukinoshita Yukino's coldness and elegance.
Thinking about it carefully, changing the world, always talking about how excellent and cute she is, and now even saying she's a god.
No matter how you look at it, this is a form of chuunibyou.
Laughter doesn't disappear; it only transfers.
When a smile appeared on Tanaka Masao's face, the smile that had been on Yukinoshita Yukino's face disappeared.
Her eyes narrowed, emitting a cold light.
Yukinoshita Yukino was angry.
It wasn't because Tanaka Masao was spouting nonsense; it was precisely because what he said made some sense that she was momentarily unable to refute him.
She never thought that the word 'chuunibyou' could ever be associated with her, Yukinoshita Yukino.
In her eyes, 'chuunibyou' represented someone with an abnormal mind and eccentric behavior.
Perhaps it was because she had almost no interaction with other peers before, which made Yukinoshita Yukino unaware of this.
Now, with Tanaka Masao saying this, she...
Definitely does not have chuunibyou.
"Tanaka-kin, before calling someone chuunibyou, we should know the definition of chuunibyou.
So-called chuunibyou refers to those who are overly self-conscious, arrogant, yet feel misunderstood and self-pitying."
When Yukinoshita Yukino finished speaking, the entire Service Club fell into an eerie silence.
Tanaka Masao stared intently at Yukinoshita Yukino, wanting to say something.
Yukinoshita Classmate, is your definition based on your own personality?
Tanaka Masao previously only had a vague understanding of chuunibyou.
Now, after hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's explanation, he had a clearer understanding.
Yukinoshita Yukino was, in fact, a very pure chuunibyou.
Overly self-conscious and arrogant went without saying.
As for the latter part about feeling misunderstood and unfortunate.
Yukinoshita Yukino might not feel unfortunate from not getting understanding and recognition from her classmates.
However, she would definitely feel unfortunate from not getting her mother's approval; this was even her inner demon.
Facing Tanaka Masao's direct gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know what to say for a moment.
She hadn't expected that using her most Good at method of argumentation would only further confirm her chuunibyou status.
She cleared her throat, a little embarrassed, and then continued.
"Based on the description, I don't fit the definition of chuunibyou at all.
Firstly, my excellence is a fact, not arrogance. Secondly, even if I am ostracized, I have never..."
She paused, a flicker of loneliness in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes, but she still said with a firm tone.
"I have never felt unfortunate."
Billions of years later, when the Earth is destroyed and gone, only one thing will remain in its original place.
That would be Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth, because it is simply too stubborn.
Whether it was self-deception or self-preservation.
In short, Yukinoshita Yukino would not admit her weakness.
