Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

After eating the fruit, Hojo Sakirei went to the bathroom mirror to look at himself. He didn't seem to have changed at all.

He figured it must have randomly added to some obscure charm branch. He should figure it out after a while, but for now, it was better to hurry and accept a task. System tasks refreshed periodically.

Opening the task app installed on his phone by the system, Hojo Sakirei immediately saw the task information randomly generated for today.

[You can choose one of the following tasks to accept.]

[Task 1: Ando Kuri]

[Description: A rebellious teenager who has recently become uncontrollably addicted to adult websites. Please become his tutor and help him turn over a new leaf!]

[Skills: Race Against Time, Kirin Arm, Sage Mode.]

[Task Difficulty: ★]

[Task Reward: 100,000 Yen]

[Task 2: Kono Mika]

[Description: A high school girl who enjoys stalking and secretly filming others' secrets. She uses the videos she takes to blackmail people. Please become her tutor and help her turn over a new leaf!]

[Skills: Stalking Master, Photography Expert, Blackmail Specialist.]

[Task Difficulty: ★ ★ ★]

[Task Reward: Random Skill Fruit, 1000 Points.]

[Task 3: Shiratori Reki]

[Description: A high school girl who enjoys 'fishing' (playing with people's feelings). She manipulates many innocent men who can't escape her grasp. Please become her tutor and help her turn over a new leaf!]

[Skills: Push-and-Pull Tactics, Verbal Teasing, Green Tea Persona.]

[Task Difficulty: ★ ★ ★]

[Task Reward: Random Skill Fruit, 1000 Points.]

Hojo Sakirei rubbed his chin. This time, there were actually two troublesome individuals.

Compared to the others, Hojo Sakirei was more inclined to choose the second one, Kono Mika, because her goal was very simple: money.

As for Shiratori Reki, she wasn't simple. She wanted not only money but also emotions. Although both were three-star difficulty, Shiratori Reki should be even more challenging, so Hojo Sakirei chose the simpler one.

[You have successfully accepted Task 2. Please begin your action immediately.]

[Task Step 1: Find Kono Mika and become her private tutor.]

Seeing this notification, Hojo Sakirei rarely showed a troubled expression, because finding a high school girl named Kono Mika in the vast city of Tokyo was actually quite difficult.

The first time he did a task, Hojo Sakirei spent a long time trying to find Asahi Rinka.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the boss of a famous aristocratic high school, Hojo Sakirei might not have found her even now, let alone contacted her mother and become her tutor.

Now he had to find a stalker. Such people should be even harder to find...

As expected, the system's rewards weren't that easy to get.

Should he use his points?

Hojo Sakirei hesitated a little. Points could be used to exchange for many valuable things, and using them just to find someone seemed a bit wasteful.

He opened the system shop and immediately saw the four major sections.

[Item Category: You can spend points to purchase various magical items.]

[Skill Category: You can spend points to purchase a wide variety of skills.]

[Identity Category: You can spend points to obtain a new identity.]

[Gacha: 100 points per draw. You can randomly draw items from the other three major sections. Rewards are divided into Normal, Excellent, Premium, and Emperor rewards. An Excellent reward is guaranteed after ten draws.]

Hojo Sakirei searched the shop and found many items and skills that could be used to find people, but there were only three that were relatively cost-effective.

They were the [Person Finder Card] from the Item Category, [Tracking Skill] from the Skill Category, and [Designated Random Identity Card] from the Identity Category.

The first two, as their names suggested, were used to find people. The third one was more interesting; it could directly grant him an identity related to Kono Mika.

He could randomly become her simp, relative, or classmate, but when equipping this identity, his original identity would become ineffective.

In the eyes of some acquaintances, Hojo Sakirei would become a stranger. Everything would only return to normal after re-equipping his original identity card.

Buying this Designated Random Identity Card for a specific person required a full 500 points, directly spending half of Hojo Sakirei's task reward. This couldn't help but make him feel a little pained.

He had to remember that this was 500 points, enough to buy many useful things for Hojo Sakirei or do ten gacha draws.

After much hesitation, Hojo Sakirei still didn't choose to accept it. Instead, he opened his chat app and sent a private message to Asahi Rinka, asking for her help in finding someone in exchange for agreeing to a not-too-excessive condition of hers.

The message didn't receive an immediate reply. He figured Asahi Rinka must be busy with something else.

Taking advantage of this time, Hojo Sakirei opened the gacha panel. He decided to spend some points and try a few draws.

As the colorful balls in the gacha machine constantly shook, a small blue ball popped out.

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Cross-dressing Card. After use, it will randomly generate a set of women's clothes + wig on your body.]

Hojo Sakirei's expression was calm. This was just one draw, and a Normal reward was normal. He didn't expect to draw an Excellent reward in one go. Let's do it again!

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: 300 Yen Lollipop. Using it on a younger girl will increase her favorability to a certain extent.]

Hojo Sakirei's mood still didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Maid Outfit. Giving it to a female with a certain level of favorability has a chance of making her wear it and triggering a maid storyline.]

Hojo Sakirei's brows gradually furrowed. He continued clicking with a poker face.

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Pink Bouncy Ball. As the name suggests.]

Drawing such a bizarre reward, Hojo Sakirei's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Looking at the remaining 600 points, Hojo Sakirei decided to go all in. He closed his eyes and clicked five times in a row.

As long as the Excellent reward didn't come out on the last draw, he would be making a profit!

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Blue Skinny Mushroom. A mushroom that makes you sad when eaten.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Cat that can do a backflip.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Normal Reward: Exit Smoke Bomb. After use, it releases a cloud of smoke to confuse the target. The user can randomly appear anywhere within a fifty-meter radius.]

[Congratulations, Host, you didn't draw anything.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn an Excellent Skill Category Reward: Passive Cosplay Master. You look very similar no matter who you cosplay as.]

Opening his eyes and seeing the last purple ball, Hojo Sakirei excitedly clenched his fist. However, after seeing the reward description clearly, Hojo Sakirei was stunned.

This reward seemed useless to him. After all, he didn't do cosplay, nor did he have that much money to mess around.

"Sigh, I lost big time." Hojo Sakirei regretted his decision to use points for gacha. He had worked for nearly a month to get 1000 points, and now only 100 points were left.

Looking at the remaining 100 points, Hojo Sakirei clicked again without much hope, but the reward that popped up next made him unable to help but stand up.

"This is?!"
