He also plans to set up a room on the second floor, as the original storage room can indeed be used as a guest room.
As for my parents, they're probably going on a business trip for another three or four months before they come back. I'll explain then.
I'll just make do on the sofa for now.
I'm also planning to buy some clothes for Lina this weekend. Since daily necessities are still mostly disposable these days, I should buy some too.
Regarding this, it must be said that his parents gave him quite a bit of pocket money each month, about 1.5 times that of his classmates.
Business trips do have some effect after all.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
When it was lights out, he turned off the TV, urged Lina to brush her teeth, wash her face, and go to bed, and then returned to his room after checking that the doors and windows were locked.
He sat in the chair, thinking about as many possibilities as possible.
And regarding his meeting with Anne Sakurajima today, he did not immediately utilize the system's keyword ability.
At this point, Aoi Natsuki suddenly realized the cunning nature of the goddess girl. The keywords she provided were not actually the optimal solutions, and the reason for winning her over was still up to him to figure out. These keywords were merely the ability to increase favorability after finding the optimal solution.
He had already done it once before, and he didn't want to exhibit any unusual behavior or words due to keywords in unexpected situations, so he had been saving this opportunity for now.
Although the keywords displayed on that day indicated methods to increase a girl's favorability, they can still be considered as a factor in the current context.
In short, it's about being steady and conservative.
He then opened the system panel and entered the three characters "Sakurajima An" in the keyword field.
The rotating progress bar reappeared.
A few seconds later, two words popped up, and those two words really stunned Aoi Natsuki.
What does it mean?
Chapter 13 A Glimpse of the Victory Through the Small Hole!
"Greed"
Natsuki Aoi pinched his chin, looking at the two characters. He recognized each character separately, but he didn't recognize them when they were put together.
Is Sakurajima Anne's key word in love "desire"?
What does this mean? Does it mean she actually wants a domineering man to attract her?
A strong possessiveness?
This word completely baffled him, and he couldn't understand its meaning even after thinking about it for a long time.
Goddess, are you messing with me again?
Wouldn't keywords be easier to understand?
He now even suspects that the other person is watching him from a higher dimension, secretly laughing at his distressed state.
I'll definitely find the right choice to improve our relationship! Don't think you can fool me!
Natsuki Aoi clenched her fist.
He couldn't admit defeat, neither in the face of the current situation nor in the anger he felt!
I absolutely, positively must win over my first S-rank girl!
……
Over the next two days, Natsuki Aoi began to observe Anne Sakurajima and Mito Takahashi from all angles.
When the girls gave him the cold shoulder, he would try to find out what was going on from the boys in their class.
And they also began to try many things.
Disappointingly, the final result was not good; many methods were tried, but none of them worked.
No matter when they "coincidentally" meet again, and talk to Takahashi Mi about pets, studies, family, etc., whether the tone is firm or gentle, the final result is always mediocre and negative.
But -100 favorability points is already the lowest possible level, so it can't drop any lower.
Meanwhile, Sakurajima Anne's situation was clearly worse. She felt that she had said some unpleasant things, but the other party did not react at all. This was not an act; the favorability rating above her head remained unchanged.
Forever -1.
It neither dropped nor rose.
On Friday afternoon, feeling sullen after being almost completely rejected, Aoi Natsuki sat on a bench in the school garden and drifted off into a daze again.
"I'm back. The set meal at window number 4 is sold out, so I bought you a braised pork set meal instead."
Yusuke ran over carrying a bag, and he could clearly sense that Natsuki was in a low mood.
"Thank you."
Natsuki Aoi sighed.
"What's wrong? You've been acting a bit strange lately. Is something wrong?" Yusuke opened the can of Coca-Cola and took a big gulp.
Drinking iced cola in winter, that's what romance is all about for men.
Aoi Natsuki was silent for two seconds, then turned around with a serious expression: "There is something I really want to do no matter what."
"what?"
"I want to pursue Mitsu Takahashi!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Yusuke nearly choked on his cola, his expression changing drastically.
"real or fake?!"
"It's true! And it's absolutely necessary! But progress isn't going well right now."
"How could it possibly go smoothly? Most girls can't handle her, let alone Takahashi, who absolutely hates men. What's wrong with you? How could you possibly like her?" Yusuke felt his understanding of the world being utterly shattered.
"Appearance-obsessed?"
“Of course not.” Aoi Natsuki denied it directly. He couldn’t let the system’s affairs slip out, and he absolutely couldn’t let it slip. “There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see clearly,’ so I’d like to ask for your opinion.”
"This……"
Yusuke hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Natsuki's determined eyes, he knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
"Alright, since you like it, I won't say anything more and will definitely support you wholeheartedly."
"Brothers!"
Aoi Natsuki punched his chest with her fist.
The two then began to eat lunch and shared their opinions on Mito Takahashi.
Natsuki Aoi also mentioned her own experience of failure.
Yusuke didn't interrupt him while he was speaking, but remained silent for a long time, his expression as if to say, "Don't ask me, we have the same views on love."
I once heard Yusuke say that he was fat in junior high school. He lost weight by playing basketball after his third year of junior high school and that's why he looks so good now. But because he was with him all the time in high school, he lost most of his female friends. As for dating, it probably wasn't much better.
This is bad...
Just when he felt things were getting into a stalemate, Yusuke suddenly looked up: "Perhaps I have an idea?"
Natsuki Aoi immediately leaned in: "Tell me about it."
"Have you noticed that although Takahashi Mi has never been well-liked by many people, she always manages to make friends? Since the start of the semester, have you noticed that there is often a short-haired girl with glasses following her around?"
"Short-haired girl..."
Natsuki Aoi reminisced.
It seems there really is one!
However, the two often seemed to be walking at different paces, and... he also forgot whether the girl with glasses was a B or C level. After getting used to the use of levels, it was like the other person's second face. Because of the level, he instinctively ignored the other person's appearance, or even their existence.
"Have you ever heard this saying that if you want someone who dislikes you to change their opinion of you, you first need to make their friend like you? Of course, I don't mean romantic love, but rather that she develops a liking for you as a person, so that she can have a subtle influence. For example, when Takahashi is talking badly about you, she might say a few good things about you. You know what I mean?"
Aoi Natsuki was stunned after hearing this.
A few seconds later, a "Holy crap!" was shouted.
"You're awesome, Yusuke! Your theory has opened up a whole new world for me!"
Aoi Natsuki placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him incessantly. Yusuke did not resist and, amidst the shaking, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Didn't you notice? I always thought that girl with glasses was quite conspicuous."
"Yes! I didn't notice at all!" It was precisely because of the benefits of the system that his subjective judgment was clouded, and he thought that girls below S-rank were useless and ignored their existence.
But since there are corresponding levels, it must mean that they have corresponding functions!
A brilliant idea suddenly popped into Aoi Natsuki's head.
Perhaps that really is the case!
……
Change target.
Natsuki Aoi started to fixate on the girl with glasses.
After making inquiries, I learned that the other person was a student in Class 1 of the first year of high school, named Hayakawa Keiko.
The rank above its head is C, and the favorability value is -30.
He had the typical student haircut, wore black-rimmed glasses, always walked with his head down, and was very thin, probably only 1.5 meters tall.
Just like her corresponding level, she was so ordinary that she only had a C level.
Although her face is small, it has some freckles. Her appearance is average or above average, but she is a bit dark-skinned.
After school.
Keiko Hayakawa pushed her bicycle and left the school gate with her head down.
Natsuki Aoi also followed on her bicycle.
Soon they came to an uphill section. Because of her relatively weak strength, Hayakawa Keiko struggled to ride, maintaining a speed of about half a meter per second.
But she seemed to be feeling a bit unwell today. Suddenly, she missed a half-turn and the bike started to fall backward!
