The relationship between the original owner and his father Atsuo Hoshino could not be said to be good, but it was definitely not bad. The reason was that his father often worked until late at night and had less communication with his son, so it was natural that their relationship was not good.

Thanks to this, Hoshino Yuichi didn't need to disguise himself as the original owner too much. He just needed to say hello briefly, which was also the original owner's usual style.

"Dad, you're back."

"Um……"

Hoshino Yuichi passed the living room where his father was and walked towards the bathroom. At this time, Hoshino Atsuo called him in a complicated tone.

"Come here, Youyi. I have something to discuss with you."

discuss?

He keenly grasped the key words. Is there something important that he needs to discuss with me? No, Hoshino Yuichi thought about it, what else is there to ask an ordinary high school student?

After much thought, he came up with only one answer - family problems.

Hoshino Yuichi sat opposite Hoshino Atsuo, looking at the man in front of him with his bright purple eyes.

Under the man's black hair parted in the 3:7 style is a face with stubble, a resolute look, thick and dense eyebrows, and large, bright yet melancholy eyes. The years have left unclear marks on his body, but it is these "knife marks" carved by time that have given him the maturity and composure unique to middle-aged men.

All in all, this is a handsome uncle.

However, this calm middle-aged man showed an extremely awkward and worried look at this moment. He slowly said:

"Yuichi, you must be lonely at home alone, so I always ask you to go to Miss Tachibana's house next door for meals. Although I also brought some gifts to her, it's still not appropriate after all."

"Ms. Tachibana may already have a boyfriend, and it's not a good idea to let you keep going like this... So, how about Daddy finding you a new mother? That way you don't have to go to other people's houses for dinner all the time, and there will be someone to accompany you."

After talking for a long time, Hoshino Atsuo finally got to the point, and Hoshino Yuichi also knew the reason why his father was uncomfortable.

The original owner lost his mother at a young age and was sensitive and fragile. He would find it difficult to accept a woman he didn't know at all as his mother, so Hoshino Atsuo spoke to him in a negotiating tone.

Now that he has inherited Hoshino Yuichi's identity, from his point of view, his father is most likely in a relationship with a woman, and it is not impossible to stop it. From the memories of the original owner in his mind, Hoshino Atsuo is a good man who cares about his family.

If Yuichi refused to agree even if he died, he believed that Hoshino Atsuo would stand on his son's side, but... the person inside this body was no longer the same person.

For him, since Atsuo Hoshino was able to have this hard-earned twilight romance, there was no need for him to ruin it, as long as his stepmother didn't have too many objections to him.

"I have no objection. This is a matter between you two. As long as the other party doesn't mind that you, the dad, have a child, it's fine."

Hoshino Yuichi's indifference made Hoshino Atsuo's tired eyes sparkle. It seemed that he also valued this relationship. He quickly replied:

"Don't worry, I've already told her about you. Later she said she also has a daughter who seems to be about your age."

"This is fate..."

After receiving his son's answer, Hoshino Atsuo sighed for a long time and leaned back on the sofa.

The matter was resolved. You stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower," and left the living room.

As he stepped out of the living room with his left foot, he received a complicated gaze from behind: "Yuichi, you have grown up too..."

3. The Girl on the Tram

Hoshino Yuichi walked calmly without stopping, as if he didn't hear his father's sigh, or as if he agreed with his statement.

It's better not to answer in this situation. Talking too much might make him suspicious.

Before taking a bath, one thing he needed to do was to exercise his thin body.

The original owner, who stayed at home all year round, was a complete otaku. Except for going out to school and eating at Tachibana Haruna's house, the distance from the room to the entrance was considered a long journey in the eyes of the original owner.

Socializing is simply a fantasy for him. His few like-minded friends are also otakus. Offline gatherings are something that only casual people do, and going out together is even more unthinkable.

He returned to his room and turned on the light. That's when he noticed the layout of the room he would live in from now on.

There is a single bed against the wall, and next to it is a desk with textbooks scattered around. It is a room that couldn’t be simpler.

The walls are covered with posters of beautiful two-dimensional girls, and even the quilt covers and sheets are in the shape of paper people.

Hmm... the concentration is quite high.

In this regard, Hoshino Yuichi said that he could accept it. The second dimension itself is a gathering place for all good things. The fantasy world always makes people yearn for it. The beautiful girls in the second dimension are always so attractive. They have distinct cute points and are obedient to you...

Of course, they don't exist either.

They only exist in the hearts of a group of people who yearn for beauty.

After all, Yuichi Hoshino is essentially a person who likes otaku culture.

After admiring the room you will live in, it's time to get down to business.

…………

"one two Three……"

On the floor of the room, Yuichi Hoshino was doing push-ups vigorously. He didn't need to go to the gym yet. Simple bodyweight exercises were enough to make him fall to the ground exhausted.

After a series of routine exercises, his whole body was soaked, and a feeling of fatigue came from his trembling muscles. Although he didn't feel anything now, he believed that when he woke up tomorrow morning, his muscles would be extremely sore.

Don’t take a shower immediately after exercising.

He came to the balcony on the second floor. It was April and the spring break would end after today. The warm evening breeze lifted the ends of his hair and took away some of his tiredness.

The bright neon lights and the hustle and bustle of traffic in the distance made him feel a little strange and alienated. He quickly shook his head. He was a person who went with the flow and didn't want to think too much.

Just think of it as moving to another city and continuing your life. I am just a floating duckweed, why think so much?

At nine o'clock in the evening, the residential area was scary, with every household keeping their doors shut. This was not the place for noise.

After taking a shower, I returned to the room.

Hoshino Yuu started packing his schoolbag. From tomorrow on, he would be a sophomore in high school.

Waking up early has also become an established fact, sadly...

At this time, he discovered an important problem. The original owner seemed to have left before finishing her spring break homework. Does this mean that he still has to help the original owner do that damn spring break homework? !

Oh, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Sufficient sleep is the guarantee of health. Health is a must, but doing homework cannot bring you health. Staying up late after finishing your homework means being unhealthy.

To sum up, doing homework is equal to being unhealthy.

So, he lay down on the bed with peace of mind and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early morning.

The cell phone bell rang, and Hoshino Yuichi opened his alert eyes, but he ignored the exercise book on the table that was as clean as a new one and stuffed it into his schoolbag without even looking at it.

As expected, just as he was about to go downstairs, the pulling and soreness in his thigh muscles was almost the same as he expected last night. The pulling feeling in his arms was even more obvious. This body had not been exercised properly for too long.

He walked down the stairs with slightly uncoordinated steps.

Atsuo Hoshino had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for Yuichi to come and eat.

After all, it is a single-parent family, so it is reasonable for the father to master some of the mother's skills.

The Hoshino family lives in Meguro Ward, and Yuichi's school, Hane High School, is located in Bunkyo Ward, which has a strong cultural atmosphere. Although the school's admission rate is mediocre, Hane High School once became the high school with the highest praise rate among students in Bunkyo Ward for its rich life atmosphere.

The school has a large library with the largest collection of books among high schools in Bunkyo Ward, though it cannot compare to the university libraries in the same district.

The school cafeteria employs chefs from various cuisines, serving Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisine.

Not only that, there are also fruit tea, milk tea and other beverage shops quietly opened in Hane High School.

It can be said that Hane High School has thoroughly implemented eating, drinking, playing and having fun on campus.

If you ask what is fun? Then the principal of Hane High School will tell you that learning is the most fun thing!

This may be a means of recruiting students, but I have to say that Hane High School has done a good job. At least... the students in the school live a very comfortable life.

As soon as he finished his meal, Hoshino Yuichi rushed to the tram station without stopping.

Perhaps because Yuichi left home early, the train was not as crowded as he had imagined, which allowed him to find a seat.

Holding his schoolbag, he glanced absentmindedly at the poor people standing there, looked at the moving scenery outside the window, and began to think about how to deal with interpersonal relationships in school.

Thanks to the original owner's otaku and solitary personality, he only had to deal with one or two people. If he had traveled through time to a well-connected modern person, he would have been exposed at any time.

At this moment, the tram turned a corner, and the inertia caused by the deceleration and tilt caused Youyi to fall heavily to the right. He didn't notice it and leaned on the person on the right.

Only then did Hoshino Yuichi glance sideways at the girl sitting on his right. Her long black hair fell on the seat. Her snow-white, delicate and watery skin formed a sharp contrast with the black hair. Her angelic face made people wonder why God was so partial to her.

The most eye-catching thing is the proud bust. It is very impressive that such a petite girl carries such a plump fruit. However, those big deep purple eyes are looking at him timidly, as pitiful as a little deer that is afraid of being hurt.

The light blue sailor suit the girl was wearing was exactly the girls' school uniform of Hane High School.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Hoshino Yuichi straightened his body and apologized softly.

The girl waved her hand stiffly.

"No, it's okay."

Youyi smiled and said nothing more, but he was somewhat concerned by the fear hidden in the girl's eyes just now.

The tram continued to run smoothly and the carriage returned to silence.

Hoshino Yuichi had nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone and browsed an e-book. Although his eyes were fixed on the screen, he caught something out of the corner of his eye.

The girl beside him moved aside imperceptibly.

Are you so scared of me? I just bumped into her accidentally... Never mind. I should have nothing to do with her, so why do you care so much? Just be scared if you want to.

4. Acting as the Queen

In early April, cherry blossoms begin to bloom, and Hane High School also has its own cherry blossom path. The cherry blossoms standing on both sides of the road are intertwined in the sky, dyeing the warm spring sun with a touch of cherry pink.

Most of the people on the road are students from Hane High School wearing light blue school uniforms. The flow of people is surging but not dense, and the young and energetic faces make the road exude a youthful atmosphere.

In this thriving atmosphere, Yuichi Hoshino stands out from the crowd. His unique temperament or inner resistance makes him stand out among the crowd.

He doesn't like being around a lot of people. The noisy environment makes him feel tired. Only when he is alone or with like-minded people can he quietly feel the reality of the flow of time.

So... he chose to go out so early, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people so early in the morning. Maybe it was because today was the day for the freshmen to report.

At times like this, Yuichi Hoshino would take out his in-ear headphones to isolate himself from the outside world.

As expected, Hane High School did not reshuffle their classes in the second year. Hoshino Yuichi walked into the teaching building and into his own class - Class 2-B.

The class was divided into small groups, chatting about interesting things that happened during the summer vacation. Hoshino Yuichi walked silently to his seat, which was a window seat in the back row.

When he gets tired of the teacher's lecture, he can turn his head unnoticeably and look at the scenery outside the window to relax. In short, this is a good place to retire.

"Hey~ Stupid Yuu, long time no see."

Just as Hoshino Yuichi put down his schoolbag, Horie Tomoya, who was sitting at the table in front of him, took his hand away from his busy mobile phone, greeted him, and then impatiently retracted it.

He is the original owner's best friend, white and fat like a big white bear, a total fat otaku, and is keen on beautiful girl games.

It doesn't take much effort to get along with him. We have common topics to talk about. This is the best friendship we could have during our student days without any mixed interests.

"Fatty, what are you playing?"

Hoshino Yuichi came closer and saw that he was controlling a female warrior with huge breasts in a tight suit to fight monsters. Judging from the scene, it was probably a fighting game with the same substance but a new name.

"The new Taima Ninja has these breasts that are shaking so badly, hurry up and download it!"

In the face of Horie Tomoya's strong recommendation, Hoshino Yuichi disagrees:

"It feels quite ordinary, similar to what's on the market, nothing new."

Horie Tomoya nodded in agreement, and finally couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in a lewd way, revealing a look that all men understand:

"That's true, but she's too big!"

The bell for class rang, and the students scattered everywhere found their seats and sat down, waiting quietly for the teacher to arrive.

This first class... is English, which is the most troublesome for Youyi. He didn't expect that after traveling to another world, he would have to learn these tadpole-like English. Thinking back to the English listening experience back then, he once doubted whether he had any hearing impairment.

Therefore, English became the subject he least wanted to touch.
