Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

"Thanks to you."

"I don't know what Yakushimaru is thinking," Sato replied.

"oh."

Just as Yakushimaru nodded, a familiar voice rang out from not far away.

"I think I should be able to, yes...yes."

With lightning speed, Yakushimaru grabbed the boy's hand and hid behind a large tree in the garden.

The two were very close, not quite embracing, but the herbal fragrance emanating from Yakushimaru's body was even stronger.

Although it's strong, it's not pungent. It's similar to the high-end products he couldn't afford, like those famous actresses in his class in his previous life.

"Yakushimaru-san... what are you doing?"

Sato subconsciously sniffed, paused for a moment, and asked helplessly.

"The fields are so annoying."

"Not to mention he just finished his audition!"

"Once they see me, they'll definitely grab me and start chattering away!"

Yakushimaru glanced at Tanabe and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other person was still on the phone.

"Then you don't need to arrest me, do you?"

Does contact with a girl who looks like she stepped out of a manga automatically trigger an anime plot? The two of them, hiding behind a tree, what kind of manga plot is this?

He and Tian Bian have nothing going on.

Upon hearing this, Yakushimaru widened her adorable eyes.

Clearly, they've only just realized this problem.

Moreover, the distance between the two of them is now quite close.

"I was just worried he'd bully you!"

Feeling embarrassed, Yakushimaru muttered to himself.

Her body also moved slightly away from the boy.

Fortunately, it was a big tree.

Yakushimaru muttered to himself.

This time it was an accident.

I wonder if the boy will fall in love with me because of my mistake and become the second Tanabe.

Yakushimaru, inwardly annoyed at his own recklessness, looked up at the young man.

To her surprise, it wasn't as cheesy as she had imagined. Or rather, Sato's eyes weren't on her at all; he was just looking at the fields outside.

"I see, thank you."

"..."

Hearing Sato's obviously unconvinced answer and his usual demeanor, Yakushimaru almost laughed out of anger.

She was so angry that she wanted to leave, but Tianbian seemed to sense it and stood still.

"Yeah, haha, I already said it's no problem."

"You mean Yakushi-maru?"

"That girl is a sudden sensation, I'll make her swoon sooner or later."

He's probably bragging by the field.

In the boy's eyes, Tianbian was that kind of person—ambitious and boastful.

He was unaware that Yakushimaru and his chosen future super-dead man were behind the tree.

Sato's reaction was relatively calm, but Yakushimaru was a different story.

At this moment, the girl raised her eyebrows and tried to rush out, but Sato quickly grabbed her back and pinched her mouth shut.

It doesn't matter if she goes out to confront Tianbian, but he's still here.

Being rumored to be having an affair would not benefit either of them.

"Hmm!"

The girl glared at Sato.

The sudden pinching of her mouth, though only for a moment, successfully made her temporarily forget her anger.

However, looking at the boy's calm yet somewhat apologetic expression, she felt that while she was embarrassed and annoyed, she wasn't actually that angry.

"...I'll teach him a lesson sooner or later!"

The girl's mind raced, and in the end, unable to figure out if she was angry, she just muttered something and changed the subject.

I don't know who they're trying to make look bad.

Sato, on the other hand, was stunned.

For some reason, a piece of text appeared in the system window in front of him.

[Detected that you are engaging in unspeakable play with the princess he has his eye on right in front of your lord.]

I'd forgotten about it if the system hadn't mentioned it. Is Tanabe still the lord?

Why is Yakushimaru a princess? Is this some kind of storyline involving sailor suits and machine guns...?

Why is it that, according to the system's description, he is not only a scumbag who starts relationships and then abandons them, but also seems to be toying with other people's feelings?

But it's definitely a system problem.

[Unlock Achievement: Carry It On to the End]

[Bonus Skill: Aura Concealment]

Note: Once activated, your and your partner's presence will be reduced by 50%. Since you're looking for excitement, go all the way.

Note 2: I don't understand, but I respect it.

"Never mind... I'll just ignore it."

Suppressing the urge to complain, Sato twitched his lips slightly and temporarily categorized this skill as poison resistance.

Being followed by weekly magazines might be useful in the future, but not now.

After all, no one was following him, and he didn't have a partner.

The field has already left.

The two of them also emerged from the bushes.

"What happened today..."

"I won't say."

Sato replied cooperatively.

Yakushimaru's gaze was scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"What a hypocrite!"

"I'll expose you sooner or later!"

Yakushimaru, who didn't notice the slightest hint of smugness on the other person's face, muttered to himself.

Her charm is definitely not due to an overactive sense of self!

......

Another day passed quietly, and Sato jogged back to the company once again.

Upon Sato's arrival, the dozen or so employees around him looked at the boy with even greater enthusiasm than before.

"Congratulations, Sato!"

"Sato-kun, you're amazing!"

"Sato, here are some snacks."

When are you going to treat me to a meal?

Clearly, news that Sato had been accepted into the Shadow Legion's fifth rank had already spread within the company.

There were no cell phones back then, otherwise the boy's phone would have been bombarded with all sorts of text messages.

"Thanks."

As Sato walked, he was met with flirtatious glances from two girls and enthusiastic advances from several male colleagues.

Previously, the probability of Sato Rescue Company being involved was about the same as the probability of a meteorite hitting the Earth.

However, this possibility has now increased significantly due to Sato's active involvement.

Moreover, regardless of whether he can save the company, given the value Sato has demonstrated so far, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become more familiar with the company.

It's the same with connections and relationships.

We're all in the same company, which creates a certain level of relationship.

Amidst the enthusiasm of the crowd, Sato politely responded to everyone and finally arrived in front of Ogawa.

"You're quite popular now."

Ogawa glanced subtly at the girls who had just been flirting with Sato not far away.

One is in finance, and the other is in planning.

Without exception, they are all fashionable urban beauties.

She seemed completely unconcerned about what kind of story might unfold between her and the boy.

Fortunately, Sato was drinking with me back then, otherwise I would definitely have been taken advantage of.

Ogawa thought to himself.

"I am still grateful for your care."

Sato laughed.

"Um."

In response to the boy's polite words, Xiaochuan responded with a soft snort through his prominent nose.

Although I knew it was just polite talk, I still found it quite pleasing.

"It's because you performed very well. Chiba-san personally called me and said that you meet his requirements perfectly."

Ogawa emphasized the word "personally" a bit too much.

The fact that Chiba called himself, instead of having his assistant do it, speaks volumes.

The two have only just met, yet Chiba has already taken such good care of them. After a month of hard work, it seems that the young man has truly forged his own path.
