By the way.

This area is the territory of the "Golden City Society Ghost Island Group", so encountering a supporting character from this TV series is not unusual.

"Tsk, opening a shop?" came a casual inquiry after a click of the tongue.

As Ken slowly approached, Aragaki Manami stepped aside slightly.

He said softly, "I don't plan to open a shop. I intend to use this place as a temporary residence and storage space. Would you like to take a look?"

The club member, who was indeed named Xiao Jian, stroked his chin and smiled.

he thought.

It seems he has frightened people with his appearance, but these people are quite law-abiding. However, since it is a sincere invitation, they cannot refuse.

"Let me see what good stuff they have," Xiao Jian said as he walked to the shop entrance, then complained, "It's so dark, isn't there a light?"

Manami Aragaki said, "I'll open it for you."

After saying that, he turned on the light, and Xiao Jian saw the paper figures looking at him with mocking and bloodthirsty eyes under the suddenly appearing dim light.

The joy of discovering prey seemed to travel through his eyes to every nerve ending...

"So, what do you think?"

The light, airy voice was like a chilly breeze brushing past Xiao Jian's ears.

Chapter 35 The library, a familiar smell!

"Heh, heh..."

Upon hearing the question, Ken subconsciously opened his mouth and began to pant, mechanically turning his head to look at Aragaki Manami, who was smiling at him.

Suddenly, a chilling wind blew out of the shop.

Xiao Jian suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling as if countless illusory and invisible hands were reaching out to him, as if trying to pull him inside!

"If you don't mind, please come inside as a guest?" Aragaki Manami added.

Xiao Jian, whose mouth was trembling uncontrollably, forced a smile, shook his head with difficulty, and seemed to want to speak but could not utter a word.

"That's a pity. I thought we would be welcoming our first guest."

"..."

Xiao Jianqiang laughed and kept shaking his head and backing away, his mind a complete mess.

Thoughts like "Run!", "Don't stay!", and "Go quickly!" kept flooding his mind. Soon, as if he had realized something, he ran out at an extremely fast speed without saying goodbye.

Seeing this, Aragaki Manami turned off the lights and closed the door, then headed towards the izakaya, not taking the matter to heart.

no doubt.

He was hungry again.

The viewers in the other live streams were stunned by his actions!

[Watts! This is totally him playing himself! Aragaki-sama is finally showing his "cunning" side.]

[This thug actually has the strength to run away? That's incredible! I'd be completely defeated!]

[It turns out that Mana Aragaki is very suitable for playing villains in horror films.]

Manami, you've never joked with me before...

[Aragaki-kun's acting is even better than that of real actors! You really intend to keep him, right?]

Aragaki Manami, who had scared the person away, didn't have any other thoughts.

For him, it's better to avoid trouble.

If things are too complicated, he doesn't mind using special methods to solve them.

However, he also adheres to the basic principle of "not using it if possible," and even though he is not currently in the stage of recovering his strength, he rarely uses his special powers.

There's nothing wrong with that.

On the one hand, it reduces internal friction and makes it easier to deal with various emergencies, since one's own life must be the top priority.

On the other hand, it is to prevent oneself from developing an overly domineering, arrogant, and disdainful personality.

in the end……

If someone has such a terrible personality, they could easily get into big trouble.

If doing something doesn't benefit you, then you're wasting your time.

What is wasted effort?

Anyone who has attended junior high school understands this.

Having completed nine years of compulsory education, he understood this principle all too well. In fact, he had just started university when he transmigrated…

Even now, he is of college age, but unfortunately, going to college now would take too much time.

124 units (credits) can take a lot of time to complete.

Besides, it's more convenient for him to be a social talent right now.

All I can say is that he didn't have many regrets about having attended elementary, middle, and high school.

It didn't take long for Manami Aragaki to arrive at the izakaya. She glanced at the white sign that read "Temporarily Closed Today," and then saw several dark figures through the glass door...

He understood what was going on—"Someone has died."

Then we'll have to switch to another company.

Manami Aragaki walked along the narrow path toward another reasonably priced izakaya, decisively ignoring all other matters.

Eating to replenish energy is the most important thing.

Freshly made pills are usually taken while sleeping to replenish lost essence and blood.

I thought about it for a while.

It will take him another half month to fully recover from his current condition, or he can immediately replenish his mana by consuming two-thirds of the pills he just refined, regardless of the cost.

The former only requires half the amount of pills, and it also takes a little more time.

The latter is essentially equivalent to paying money in a pay-to-win online game to get free cooldowns and no cooldown time.

Unfortunately... Mana Aragaki is unlikely to become a pay-to-win player.

It ceased to exist from the moment it voluntarily deprived itself of wealth to strengthen its destiny and enhance its power.

However, his situation can be alleviated through complementary relationships—for example…

"To associate with the rich".

Aragaki Manami thought to himself, his eyes calm and still, and lowered his head to begin eating.

……

Another day.

After resting, Manami Aragaki walked out of the shop.

He finally doesn't have to sleep in the park anymore.

After resting until 9:45, I walked directly to a nearby library with a wide variety of books and started to hide in a corner to read and look up information.

knowledge is power.

This is absolutely correct.

Now, the tasks at hand are strengthening our power through the live streaming function and dealing with Kayako's situation.

The matter of Kayako needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

He merely glanced at and learned about the tasks in the live stream, without interfering much.

Even the previous "Ouija Board" mission was not completed by him; he only repelled the evil spirit instead of completely eliminating it.

Because it consumes one's own strength and time, it may delay one's important business.

Of course, he didn't forget to put some protective measures on Ayase Aragaki and Kirino Kousaka after having some contact with them... As for eliminating the so-called Ouija board spirit?

We'll have to wait until he has some free time before we talk about it.

If any accidents happen during that time, that's none of his business.

that's it.

Manami Aragaki seemed to have returned to the first year of her time travel, constantly reading books and researching information.

By the afternoon, there were many more people around him—no, it should be said that the area was almost full!

Perhaps it's because school is over, but I must say, the students are quite enthusiastic about their studies.

Therefore, another person also came to Aragaki Manami's two-person table.

"Sorry." Manami Aragaki nodded to the black-haired girl who came over to sit down.

Even if he doesn't occupy the other half of the table, the mountain of books piled up in front of him can still be quite a mood killer.

Although he felt it was no big deal, he could just apologize.

Anyway, it was just a formality; he didn't feel any remorse in his heart, but he still had to do what was polite.

Do as the locals do.

"Please don't mind it," the girl replied softly and politely.

Just when Aragaki Manami thought the matter would end there, the girl said again, "Excuse me, are you a writer?"

Manami Aragaki didn't go to see the girl again this time, because she already knew it was "presumptuous," so she should just go wherever she wanted.

However, he still answered: "I used to have a dream of becoming a writer, but I gave it up after I grew up."

"It's never too late to have a dream. Is that your work? May I take a look?"

"inconvenient."

"Is it because the content is vulgar? It's okay, I don't mind."

"..." Aragaki Manami, who had been searching for information, looked up again and stared intently at the girl.
