She was really scared.

After thinking for a moment, she was about to mention paying, but then she remembered Mai Sakurajima standing next to her and ultimately didn't say anything.

Besides, she felt that someone as capable as Manami Aragaki certainly wouldn't be short of money, and giving him money would be an insult.

“Well then,” said Manami Aragaki, ignoring Ichika Nakano’s sarcastic remarks, “I’ll take my leave now.”

"...Goodbye, Mr. Aragaki."

"Take care, Mr. Aragaki."

Mai Sakurajima and Ichika Nakano spoke in turn.

Manami Aragaki responded softly and left immediately.

The two girls who remained looked at each other, both able to see something strange between them.

Manami Aragaki impressed both of them with her straightforwardness and decisiveness, almost unlike a typical Japanese person! Her directness often left them speechless...

the other side.

Aragaki Manami is on his way to his residence.

He did indeed do it intentionally.

Or rather, he didn't want to be too outrageous in conforming to local customs.

My biggest impression of Japan is that many people speak very subtly. The shouting and yelling seen in anime is almost nonexistent, or rather, it only exists in the vibrant atmosphere of school campuses.

Or it could be a place where all sorts of people gather, etc.

This is actually quite understandable—it's very oppressive here, and the collective has absolutely no tolerance for individual differences!

If he didn't have some ability, he probably wouldn't just be casual and carefree, but rather arrogant and domineering.

It's probably already being said.

But Aragaki Manami really didn't have the mind to pay attention to that; he still needed to become stronger.

As for Mai Sakurajima and Ichika Nakano, although he had his own thoughts, he was still able to distinguish the situation clearly.

For example, when Kirino Kousaka asked for his contact information because of her special interest, when Utaha Kasumigaoka asked for his advice because of her ideals, or when Megumi Kato had difficulty moving around due to illness, he would always understand the situation and handle it accordingly.

Doing the necessary things when necessary is the most efficient way.

Therefore, Manami Aragaki was too lazy to interfere when the two girls were having fun.

That's really unnecessary, and it feels very undignified.

He has a sense of shame too.

As expected, outstanding men are never short of women. I... am speechless.

Improving yourself is the best way to solve many problems. The more skills you learn, the fewer times you'll have to ask for help.

[This thick, rich chicken soup is too much for me!]

Seeing Aragaki's fulfilling and enriching life every day reminds me of myself... My life is ruined!

I glanced casually at the live stream.

Aragaki Manami noticed that more and more people were making sarcastic and nonsensical remarks, and the number of viewers had indeed decreased, probably because some of them felt there was no profit to be made and therefore withdrew.

Besides, this is also working hours.

People always have to live.

Back at my residence.

After touching the diluted cinnabar with his finger, Manami Aragaki casually sketched a complete circle on a piece of white paper. Then, he placed several medicinal herbs into it, and in an instant, the herbs turned into liquid...

at the same time.

A roar of barely suppressed joy erupted from the location of the Capital University of the Enlightened Empire: "I've learned it—"

"Hmm?" Yue Zhengling, with her sharp ears, raised her eyebrows slightly, but after hearing a commotion, she immediately fell silent, as if the shouts she had heard earlier were an illusion.

Suddenly, an uncertain voice rang in Yue Zhengling's ear: "I feel like I might be able to learn it too..."

Another voice said, "Wow, is it that amazing?"

The people who spoke were Luo Tianyi and Mo Qingxian.

"I have a feeling something's about to happen," Yue Zhengling thought to herself, looking at Aragaki Manami, who had already collected the liquid from the medicinal herbs into a small bottle on the screen, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Yingzhou.

Yuzuki tilted her head, looking at the pleasant-smelling liquid on the table, "...You've learned it?"

The Tang Dynasty.

Princess Chang Le stared blankly at the incredulous gazes around her... Her grandfather, Li Yuan, and father, Li Er, both looked at her with surprise and delight.

"Lizhi has actually learned magic?"

"My son is indeed exceptionally talented!"

More congratulatory messages followed—

"Congratulations, Princess Chang Le, on mastering the immortal arts!"

"My elder sister is so amazing!"

"As expected of someone whom Master Aragaki has high hopes for..."

The perspective shifts back.

Manami Aragaki slowly placed the bottle back into her one-cubic-meter personal space, a sense of satisfaction washing over her.

Sure enough, some people in the live stream couldn't control their mouths and blurted out the facts they had learned.

That put his mind at ease.

"The technique contains the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. Only those who have a balance in the five elements can learn it. Most importantly, they need to have a high-aptitude magical physique."

The former type is more likely to be found in introverted, calm, and reserved individuals, who are typically Chinese.

As for the latter, it depends on whether God will grant you a chance; the probability is quite low.

"Then, by adjusting the viewing time, I can earn more."

"Should we do some of the [tasks] now that we have some free time?"

"Kayako's situation will be almost finished too."

As Aragaki Manami pondered various matters, she realized it was almost lunchtime and was about to prepare lunch for Kato Megumi when she suddenly stopped.

I received the message earlier, and I almost forgot that her family had already returned.

On the other end.

Seeing her mother leave, Kato Megumi took her phone from the bedside table and hesitated...

Chapter 56 Kato Megumi's Thoughts! Contact! Go to Kayako's Hut Again

at this time.

Kato Megumi, whose health is gradually improving and who has regained a more lucid state, is still a little dazed.

I've only been sick for two days, both of which have been during my sick leave, and it's also been during my period...

She hadn't expected to recover so quickly.

The night they started feeling unwell, their neighbor, who had never had any contact with them, brought them freshly cooked chicken soup.

It's a very delicious soup.

This must be the best soup she's ever had since she was born!

The umami flavor was very mild, making her feel warm and cozy both physically and mentally... Her feelings of unease seemed to have lessened considerably.

But it was all just an illusion.

My health deteriorated on the second day! I felt like I was about to die, even taking a single step was incredibly difficult.

She hesitated whether to ask her parents, who were on a trip to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary, or her sister, who was supposedly camping with former club friends (and possibly on a date with an unknown friend).

It feels like choosing either the former or the latter would be a very bad idea.

So, she was trying to go out and buy her almost-used period supplies when she experienced a series of things that she still can't believe.

Thinking about it now, it's just so eerie.

Kato Keito almost thought that his neighbor could read minds, and even from a distance. But it seemed... that was too rude of him.

But she really couldn't help thinking about it.

"No matter what, I should return the courtesy to Mr. Aragaki and thank him properly," Kato Megumi thought to herself.

However, she also recalled Aragaki Manami's almost elusive and unpredictable whereabouts, as well as her various behaviors and words that did not involve communication with others.

She used to think that Manami Aragaki was eccentric and withdrawn, and her parents thought so too, even subtly reminding her to be careful.

Looking back now, it would be better to describe him as "mysterious".

After her parents returned home, Kato Megumi mentioned some things, but she didn't go into all the details—because the matter seemed unbelievable to outsiders!

She understood.

Even so, the parents said they would visit Aragaki Mana properly later.

"Should we contact Mr. Aragaki?"

"It's only afternoon now, I wonder if Mr. Aragaki is busy with something?"

After spending the last few days together, Kato Megumi developed a strong liking for Aragaki Manami.

This seems to be a matter of course.

In her own mind, it was always a "life-saving grace".

After hesitating for a long time, Kato Megumi finally decided to press the button on her phone...

Buzz!
