Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Chapter 40 Upright as Ultraman

"You're awake."

Finally, amidst Xiaochuan's increasingly terrified gaze, the boy opened his eyes.

Thanks to the training he had in his original three-and-a-half-tatami room, he didn't feel any discomfort even though he was sleeping on the floor.

In addition, he wasn't in a very good mood yesterday, but he slept soundly. Apart from feeling a little stiff and sore, he was fine.

This slight pain is practically non-existent for Sato right now.

"sorry!"

Seeing this, Ogawa hurriedly changed from a sitting position to a dogeza (a traditional Chinese swearing posture) on the bed.

However, she may not have realized that she was only wearing a small camisole underneath, and as she bent over, her two rounded breasts reflected the morning light from the window, appearing completely exposed in front of Sato.

"Um......"

Sato silently looked away and nodded.

However, besides the visual feast and the "recoil control" that made him question his existence, he wasn't without compensation.

[Unlock Achievement: Act of Justice]

Note 2: After activation, you look as upright as Ultraman from the Land of Light.

Perfect timing, I can give it a try.

If it's useful... this skill, combined with my acting skills, will guarantee a filming opportunity.

Sato activated his skill with a sense of excitement.

This is a proactive skill, just like public speaking.

Once he activated it, the boy's eyes widened slightly. Just like with the previous skills, with the subtle adjustment of his micro-expressions, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if his whole body was coated with a layer of upright light.

"that......."

Ogawa had just noticed his clothes scattered to the side and was awkwardly covering himself with the blanket when he looked up and saw the boy's face, and he was stunned.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination from the hangover, but she seemed to vaguely see a holy light behind the boy.

"I brought you home last night, and you threw up, so I helped you take off your coat."

That's all.

This direct explanation should have been quite awkward, but the other party seemed completely oblivious, displaying an open and honest demeanor as a champion of justice.

However, Sato wasn't embarrassed, but she was even more embarrassed.

At this moment, Xiaochuan's ten toes, wrapped in the quilt, were tightly curled up. Each delicate toe was like a piece of white jade, and these "jade" toes were now digging into the quilt.

Ogawa just wanted to find a hole to crawl into right now!

"Ah... um... thank you..."

The woman's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"You're welcome."

Sato responded, stood up, and walked out.

"..."

Not knowing what to say, the woman watched the other person's departing figure, and couldn't help but feel annoyed with her best friend.

How could she have realized that she was interested in Sato?

Isn't this just digging your own grave?

And what does he mean?

He didn't seem to dislike her, but he didn't seem to like her much either. His righteous expression made her feel like a criminal.

"Aaaaaaah!"

The woman, who already had a headache, covered her head and ran her fingers through her messy hair.

"that......"

The boy returned, seemingly carrying a cup of steaming water.

But speaking of which, when did Sato get so fit? Not long ago he was a thin young man, and now he's not exactly a strongman, but he's definitely healthy.

Xiaochuan quickly shook his head, trying to shake off his drunken, wandering thoughts.

"You don't have anything to help you sober up. Most hangover headaches are caused by dehydration, so drink more salt water."

Sato spoke calmly. Although he rarely drank in his previous life, he had to entertain his classmates, and over time he learned to drink some alcohol.

"Also, I steamed some eggs in a pot. It should be done in about fifteen minutes. Remember to turn off the heat."

"Ugh..."

Looking at the young man's upright yet gentle appearance, the woman felt as if something had gently bumped into her heart.

"I will never drink again!"

Ogawa spoke solemnly, his voice slightly nasal.

"Okay, sure."

Although the other party spoke with great conviction, Sato did not really listen.

You can't believe most of what alcoholics say.

This is the second time this has happened to Xiaochuan. Although it's not a lot of times, he thinks it's unlikely that the other party will actually refuse to drink.

"By the way, do you have any clothes here?"

Sato's smile remained righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Your clothes...?"

"I just checked, it's not dry yet."

"ah......"

If there are no clothes left, does that mean they can only wait for their clothes to dry before leaving? After all, she doesn't have a dryer here...

This idea is rather strange, and Sato has things to do; she can't possibly keep someone in her room.

With a hint of strange regret that even she herself didn't realize, Xiao Chuan still spoke up: "I bought a few for my younger brother before, but I haven't sent them back yet. They haven't been worn."

"...If you don't mind."

"Will it fit?"

Sato asked in confusion, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Ogawa's petite figure before quickly looking away.

"Yes, it's possible, but it might be a bit too big."

Ogawa gestured, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"it is good."

Sato didn't refuse, and he couldn't possibly go to the club naked. Putting aside what Chiba-sensei and Sanada would think, the police on the way would be enough to give him trouble.

"I'll return it to you later."

Sato said

"No need, consider it an apology."

Xiao Chuan waved his hand, enduring his headache, and took out a well-packaged box from the cabinet in the room.

.......

The clothes are good quality. Although they are not brand names, they are made of sturdy materials, feel soft and thick, and are very comfortable to wear.

As for the design, it's a cartoon character, which is quite cute.

but......

"XL...?"

Sato, holding the garment, looked at Ogawa with a complicated expression, his face conveying "Are you serious?"

So when she said "a little big" before, she meant his clothes were a little big, not that he was a little big?

He always thought that the younger brother this brother-obsessed guy was talking about should be a well-behaved and cute little boy, but it turned out that the younger brother was a big guy.

Sato looked down at her fairly well-proportioned figure, then at the XL size label, and her feelings were quite complicated.

Meeting his unwavering gaze, Xiao Chuan's blush deepened, her neck almost turning pink.

"My younger brother... he's been growing so fast lately..."

She stammered her explanation, her voice growing softer and softer.

At the same time, a sense of regret welled up in the woman's heart. It was precisely because her younger brother had grown up that she saw a reflection of his former self in Sato.

My younger brother used to be so cute, so soft and sweet, he would tug at her clothes and call her "sister"...

"Um."

Sato didn't know how to comment, so he could only give a verbal response.

The size is indeed a bit too big, but thankfully it's not too outrageous. Combined with his increasingly good looks, it actually gives off a lazy, casual vibe.

"Then I'll be going. Take care of yourself, Ogawa-san."

He stood at the doorway, turned around, and added a sentence.

"...Was training alright today?"

Amidst the dull pain, Xiaochuan suddenly remembered the other person's schedule for the day and asked in a low voice with concern.

"It's okay!"

He's in good health now. Although he didn't sleep very well last night, he's fine for training.

Moreover, he still has a cheat code to verify, or rather, he can't wait to go back.

Meeting Sato's raised eyebrows, the woman chuckled softly.

Sato, still the same Sato.
