Just like his [Danger Omen] which has already reached level 5, in this world, intuition is something that cannot be explained.

However, this also proves that the elderly woman in front of us is indeed a person with exceptional talent in certain fields.

This unreliable divination ability might not be of much use, but the Aragaki family is large and wealthy, so supporting an extra mouth to feed is no problem for them.

As previously agreed, Aragaki Shun gave the other party a guarantee of their future life in exchange for the fortune teller imparting all his knowledge to him.

"In a few days, I will leave school before the end of summer vacation and will help you register your information then."

"After you leave Advanced Incubation, contact this phone number and they will arrange things for you."

Upon receiving the contact information from Aragaki Shun, the fortune teller beamed with delight and repeatedly expressed his approval.

Her current life isn't exactly impoverished, but it's not exactly wealthy either. It's always good to have more connections in high society.

The deal was thus completed.

Over the next two days, whenever she had free time, Aragaki Shun would come to the fortune teller to study metaphysics together, and soon all the potentially useful knowledge in her mind was emptied.

It can only be said that her occasional accurate predictions are entirely due to her talent, while her other knowledge in the field of divination is more like a combination of versatile rhetoric and keen observation.

After learning all of these things, Shun Aragaki found that his personal panel was completely unresponsive, clearly indicating that he could not use it to condense a mystical skill.

But it wasn't all for naught. Perhaps because I had accumulated enough knowledge during this period, at least one skill had improved without consuming source energy.

【博闻强识lv.4(2/5)→博闻强识lv.4(3/5)】

On the other hand, there's the achievement I got from Ibuki Mio during the elevator incident—

[Achievement Completed: Community of Fate (Ibuki Mio)] Your connection to this world has increased, Source Power +2.

[Source Energy: 10 → 12 (Current efficiency: 5 items per month)]

For some reason, despite all three being bound by a shared destiny, Ibuki Mio brought more source power than Shiranami Chihiro, Wang Meiyu, and Yamamura Miki.

It can only be said that the world pays different amounts of attention to different people, and it seems that Ibuki carries relatively more luck.

Keeping this thought to himself, Shun Aragaki decisively used up the excess Source Energy—

【太阳眷属lv.1(0/2)→太阳眷属lv.2(0/3)】

[Source Energy: 12 → 10 (Current efficiency: 5 items per month)]

Stepping into the sunlight, a continuous stream of solar energy flows into the body and is then digested by the level 5 [Gluttony].

The three attributes of strength, constitution, and agility, which had previously stagnated, seem to be slowly increasing again.

Because no qualitative change has occurred yet, the specific numerical changes are not reflected on the personal panel, but Shun Aragaki knows that he has indeed become stronger.

It does not directly increase the base attribute from 11 to 12 using source power.

Instead, it gradually increased from 11 to 11.2, 11.25, and 11.32.

This kind of numerical increase after the decimal point will not be reflected on the panel, but it can be applied to an individual, and each time it can increase strength by several kilograms or tens of kilograms.

If he could stretch out the time long enough, he could upgrade his basic attributes to 12 or even 13 simply by basking in the sun, without consuming any source energy.

This is a realm that no matter how gifted or how hard humans train, they can never reach.

There is no doubt that he has undergone some kind of evolution, which has fundamentally broken through his original growth limit.

Seriously, it's getting more and more exciting...

.........

Time flew by, and for the next few days, Shun Aragaki slept in Mio Ibuki's bedroom.

The girl has a strong personality, and no matter how he tries to persuade her, she is unwilling to go to the man's dormitory or apartment.

Similarly, she didn't acknowledge that the two were in a relationship, only thinking about getting revenge in bed. As a result, she was defeated and passively unlocked one more and more humiliating defeat CG after another.

At 6 PM that evening, after activating [Abnormal Ignore], Shun Aragaki once again arrived at the girls' dormitory of Class C in the first year, relying on his extremely low presence.

He swiped his room card to open Ibuki's bedroom door, entered the girl's simple room, put down the dinner he was carrying, and went to the bedroom to wake the girl who was still sleeping.

"Tsk~ What time is it now?"

Somewhat wearily, the blue-haired girl threw back the covers and looked at the dimly lit environment outside the window. Her face suddenly fell.

Because it's summer vacation, the two of them seem to be having a bit too much fun these past few days.

I started staying up late at night and slept until 11 a.m. Then, during my lunch break, I got the urge to go for another round and slept until evening... I patted my cheeks shyly. I had never imagined that I would lose track of day and night because of something like this.

"It's almost 6 p.m. now. After exercising for so long at noon, it's time to get up and have dinner."

After playfully rubbing against the girl a couple of times, Aragaki Shun laughed and dodged Ibuki's leg attack, tossing over the clean clothes beside him.

"Hmph~ I'm going to take a shower first, don't come in and cause trouble."

With a touch of arrogance, she put on her coat, gave a warning, and then simply walked into the bathroom.

Well, this so-called warning felt more like a seduction, but considering his schedule these past few days, Shun Aragaki chose to obey and didn't go in to help like he did last night.

Just minutes later, an unexpected outburst forced the girl to abandon her previous statement—

The school suddenly sent an email to all students, informing them that there was a problem with the water company and the entire dormitory would be temporarily without water.

Shun Aragaki tried turning the kitchen faucet, but no water came out.

According to the email notification, the repairs appear to take some time, and if the project is delayed, the water outage is expected to continue until morning.

However, the school also made some remedial measures.

If you need more than two liters of water at a time, it seems you can get rations at the student cafeteria.

The email also anticipated that the student cafeteria would be very crowded, so students were asked to be mindful of this.

As a prohibited activity, the school stated that the convenience store is temporarily unavailable because it is expected to be overcrowded.

In addition, the Beech Tree Shopping Center provides free bottled water, which is usually allowed to be used, but the school prohibits students from filling bottles and taking it home.

Ibuki Mio, who was halfway through washing: "......"

Looking at the residual shower gel on her body and shaking the showerhead that suddenly stopped producing water, the blue-haired girl was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

At this moment, she was actually glad that there was a man outside who could help her.

Although it's because of the other person that I need to take a shower at this time.

Thinking of this, Ibuki Mio shook the water droplets off her hair to clear her mind, then forcefully pounded on the glass door of the bathroom.

"Aragaki the pervert, are you still there?"

"Although I don't mind you calling me that in private, if you need my help, I suggest calling me 'brother' would be more effective."

Carrying two buckets of water, Shun Aragaki pushed open the bathroom door and looked at the girl whose body was covered in foam, with water droplets sliding down her curves. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Wait, why are you taking off your clothes at a time like this? Don't you know the water's cut off?"

"It's alright, that's what fate is all about. In this kind of atmosphere, the few cases of mineral water you kept in the room will come in handy."

"I brought it up just in case, it's not... ugh... pervert... damn it... let's change seats..."

.........

Another half hour passed, and after Ibuki was carried out, the girl didn't want to move anymore and could only shamefully accept the man's feeding.

After finishing her meal, seeing that this beast was going to stay, Ibuki Mio finally suppressed her remaining competitive spirit and pushed Aragaki Shun out of the room.

"You unsatisfied guy, go find your girlfriends. You're not welcome here."

With a loud "bang," the leader of Class A was locked out of the room.

Leaning against the gate, the boy shook his head with a mixture of helplessness and pleasure.

On the bright side, at least Ibuki's situation is resolved, and there's no need to worry about time management issues among the girls for the time being.

To comfort himself, Aragaki Shun took out his phone from his pocket.

He didn't have time to pay attention just now, but he vaguely remembered hearing the phone ring twice while he was busy.

Swipe out the communication interface, and there is indeed a number showing as a missed call.

That's Horikita Suzune's phone call!

It should be noted that the student council president's sister called twice, but each time the call lasted only a few seconds before she hung up on the other end.

"What happened?" Shun Aragaki asked, puzzled.

If it were something important, that guy certainly wouldn't give up so easily; he would persevere and keep trying to get through on the phone.

In cases like this, where a call comes in for a few seconds and then automatically hangs up, and this happens twice in a row... the other party is probably facing some kind of predicament, and it's probably a personal one, which is why they are so hesitant.

After all, she was an aloof and proud woman who firmly believed that she could solve all problems on her own.

If it weren't for the repeated reprimands he and Horikita Manabu gave him last semester, the other party probably wouldn't have sent those two calls.

Feeling something was off, Shun Aragaki decided to call back to check.

However, no matter how many times the phone rang, Horikita Suzune did not answer it.

Raising an eyebrow, the leader of Class A simply hung up the phone and sent an email instead.

[Shun Aragaki]: "What exactly happened?"

Two seconds later, the email interface displayed the word "read".

Despite the "read" status, the other party showed no intention of replying to the message.

Another minute passed, and looking down at the phone screen, which remained unchanged, the boy gave a cold smile.

[Shun Aragaki]: "Very good, it seems there really is a problem on your end. I'll contact the chairman right now and tell him that Rinne has been kidnapped."

Less than three seconds later, the expected ringtone sounded, and Aragaki Shun answered it.

"Hello~ Is this Horikita Suzune? What embarrassing thing happened to you that's keeping you from answering my calls and replying to my emails?"

"That's not the case, I'm sorry, that didn't happen here..."

Horikita Suzune's voice sounded a little tired, but she still tried to hide it.

When Aragaki Shun heard the metallic clang, the girl opposite him fell silent.

"So what exactly happened? Should I call the president over?"

Horikita Suzune: "..."

After hesitating for a long time, a voice finally came from the other side—

"Let's say there's a turtle."

"Ok?"

"It's a very intelligent and excellent tortoise, but what if it accidentally flips over? Don't you think that would be terrible? It would become unable to get back up on its own."

"I see. So, little turtle, how did you fall? Do you need me to come over and turn you over?"

This metaphor is somewhat nonsensical, but its meaning is clear—Horikita Suzune has encountered a predicament that she cannot solve alone.

"I...I'm not a turtle, that was just a hypothetical scenario..."

"Okay, let's say you're a little turtle. How can I help you turn over?"

215. Preparations before leaving school; Kushida's pool invitation

"Okay, let's say you're a little turtle. How can I help you turn over?"

Horikita Suzune: "..."

It seemed a bit awkward to say, and the other end of the phone hung up immediately.

Then, the next moment, Shun Aragaki suddenly received a photo on his phone.

Above, the girl with long, straight black hair looked away as if embarrassed, her right arm completely blocked by a woman's small water bottle.

"Pfft~ Hahaha!!!"

Unable to suppress a laugh, Shun Aragaki truly hadn't expected that the other party would encounter such a bizarre situation.

[Shun Aragaki]: "You're not bored by yourself, are you secretly playing some little game?"

[Horikita Suzune]: "...I only became like this because I was washing cups."

[Shun Aragaki]: "Okay, I understand. I'll contact Ichinose right away and have her come over and help you."

[Horikita Suzune]: "Wait, why are you calling other people? Can't you come and help me pull it apart?"

[Shun Aragaki]: "Are you sure you want me to go to your room so late at night?"
