Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

But he was still able to continue his studies.

After midnight.

He yawned, feeling a bit sleepy himself.

He then closed the book and looked at the increase in professional experience.

Occupation: Student

[Level: LV4]

[Experience: 1157/3000]

The increase was around 100.

Most of the increase comes from using absolute focus.

However, Shiro Shiro was still very satisfied with the result.

If things continue like this, I'll be able to upgrade my student status again in just a few days.

His ability to focus perfectly has already benefited him immensely.

At that time, it is possible that other skills may be acquired.

He was really looking forward to seeing what the next skill would be.

Chapter 46 An unexpected encounter with Rika Maejima!

2024-07-14

The next day.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Shiro Shiro has woken up and feels full of energy!

Even the discomfort in my brain caused by using absolute focus last night.

They can recover quickly after a good night's sleep.

This is the benefit of having a strong physique and mental strength.

However, he was a little hungry now.

After all, using absolute focus consumes a lot of body heat.

After changing into a fitted tracksuit, Shiro Kaede opened the door.

I realized that Erina and her aunt were probably still sleeping.

He had no intention of waking them.

My physical condition is different from theirs; I only need five or six hours of sleep.

But for ordinary people, not getting eight hours of sleep a day will still make them feel tired.

Erina didn't care.

But Ayaka Sato has been quite busy lately, and Shirakaze Kamishiro doesn't want to wake her aunt.

So he quietly went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then prepared three lunch boxes in the kitchen in advance.

After everything is ready.

He left home.

Getting ready to go outside for morning exercise.

At 6:30 a.m. in Shibuya, the first rays of dawn appeared, and the sky gradually brightened, revealing a faint blue hue.

The eastern horizon was faintly tinged with the orange-red light of dawn, announcing the start of a new day.

Morning light filters through the gaps between the tall buildings and spills onto the street.

Pedestrians were already hurrying along the streets, starting a new day.

The air is fresh, with a hint of morning dew, giving people a sense of tranquility and freshness.

After warming up, Shiro Shiro began to run at full speed on the sparsely populated streets.

His steps were light yet powerful, each one landing firmly on the ground, accompanied by rhythmic breathing, as if a melody resonating with the street.

Bai Feng's body lines were outlined in a smooth and powerful beauty in the morning light.

A gentle breeze blew, ruffling Bai Feng's slightly damp short hair and highlighting his handsome face as he ran.

Passersby couldn't help but stop and watch, captivated by his dashing running figure.

at this time.

Rika Maejima was walking along the road with her corgi, looking on with anticipation.

She was wearing a pretty, fitted light blue dress and had her makeup done.

A cute dog hair clip adorned her slightly wavy black hair.

Rika Maejima muttered to herself as she looked at the adorable corgi on the ground.

"Cotton, what time do you think Kamishiro-kun will be coming today?"

"I felt like he was a little later than usual yesterday."

"Today, just like yesterday, I didn't come at my usual running time."

"Has something happened?"

The corgi, of course, couldn't understand what she was saying. It just tilted its head at its owner and barked a few times with a puzzled look on its face.

When Maejima Rika saw how cute it was, she immediately bent down and took out her phone to take a few pictures of it. She planned to share the adorable cotton expressions with Kamishiro-kun later after adding him on LINE.

Tap tap tap~

The sound of running footsteps slowly approached from ahead.

When Rika Maeda heard this sound...

She immediately raised her head expectantly.

Upon seeing Shiro Kaede appear, her beautiful eyes immediately sparkled, and she waved and shouted at him who was running towards her:

"Kamidai-kun, good morning!"

Kamishiro Hakufeng, who was running, paused.

How did Maejima Rika end up here?

After thinking it over.

He suddenly remembered that he seemed to see Rika Maejima walking her dog every day during his run this month.

However, at that time he did not know Rika Maejima at all.

The two of them never spoke to each other.

After all, Shiro Shiro only runs this route once a day.

Each encounter with Maejima Rika lasted only a few seconds at most.

To be honest, he didn't pay any attention to this girl at that time.

However, since the other person took the initiative to greet him, he had no choice but to respond.

"Good morning."

But that was all.

After finishing speaking, Shiro Shiro showed no intention of stopping and continued running ahead.

Hearing his "good morning" and watching him walk further and further away, Maejima Rika clenched her small fists, her pretty face full of joy.

She rubbed the corgi's fluffy little head and said excitedly, "Cotton, did you hear that?"

"Kamishiro-kun greeted me!"

"This may be a small step, but it could be a giant leap for both of us in the future!"

"Now that we've seen him, it's time to go back."

"I'll ask him on LINE again when school starts."

After achieving her goal, Maejima Rika did not linger and left the place with the corgi.

I'm getting ready to go back to school in my family's Bentley.

Next, I'll wait until I'm in school to find an opportunity to ask Shiro Kaede for her LINE.

Shiro Kaede ran as fast as he could, the wind whistling past his ears, the street flashing past beneath his feet.

He felt the resistance of the wind, and with each step he seemed to leave his physical fatigue behind.

As he ran at full speed, sweat poured down his face, soaking his forehead and back.

His breathing was rapid and powerful, each breath seeming to absorb the energy of life.

The heartbeat was noisy yet firm, as if playing a stirring melody.

soon.

He then completed a lap at the same pace as before.

Shiro Shiro checked the time and found that his running endurance had also improved after his physical fitness was enhanced.

What used to take 20 minutes to run, I can now finish in about 15 minutes.

Even after finishing the run, he felt that he still had plenty of energy.

I no longer feel exhausted after running like I used to.

Bai Feng felt that his agility attribute had become slightly loose after completing this journey.

It seems that some invisible improvements have been made.

Bai Feng's attribute points have a rather absurd aspect.
