According to the app's pricing, a rental period of about two hours, plus a 5,000 yen registration fee, would cost approximately this much.

The rest are covered under the reimbursement for purchasing snacks and using transportation.

Naomi originally wanted to pay more, but Miyazawa Itsuki did not agree.

This date should have been included in the after-sales service and should not have been charged.

According to regulations, charging 20,000 yen is the minimum.

As for this settlement and extraction...

It is a women's necklace-style prop.

Its purpose is to enhance stage presence. It is probably a specialized product designed for the job of a [model].

Since Miyazawa Itsuki didn't particularly need the [enhancing stage presence] feature, and he didn't have many points on hand, he didn't choose to redeem it.

Then, I routinely checked the experience progress of each skill.

The closest to upgrading is [Shorthand (LV2)]

In about a week, it will be able to advance to his first LV3 elite skill.

At that time, the panel will also undergo a minor update, introducing new mechanisms.

Miyazawa Itsuki had high hopes for this.

In order to prepare for the possible window of opportunity to spend points, it is even more necessary to accumulate more capital.

"Tomorrow's date... I'll probably get a little over 500 points."

Miyazawa Itsuki muttered to himself.

A seven-hour rental period, plus miscellaneous fees. The customer will spend at least 50,000 yen.

Although he won't get that much from the platform's revenue share.

But the good thing about the panel is that it only looks at how much women spend on Miyazawa Itsuki, and doesn't care about how much they ultimately gain.

So even though a wealthy female customer set off fireworks worth one million yen for Miyazawa Itsuki, he didn't get a single penny in the end.

At least I have 10,000 points to console myself.

Following [Shorthand (LV2)] is [Street Fighting Skills (LV1)]

Although it's only been half a month since I got it, my experience is increasing very quickly thanks to the boost from the [Focus Potion].

It will take about another month to upgrade to LV2.

After looking at the data for a while, Miyazawa Shu closed the panel and prepared to get up.

Because I received a new message on LINE on my phone.

[Sakura: Dinner is almost ready]

[Sakuna: Has Miyazawa-kun gone home? If he has, come to my house.]

The words are brief, yet they possess a subtle magic.

If posted on an anonymous forum, Miyazawa Itsuki would definitely be unable to go to school the next day.

Countless vengeful spirits will seek him out and might even devour him alive.

He left his rented room and went to the front of Tsukimi's house, where he gently knocked on the door.

"It's me, Tsukimi-kun."

The door was opened quickly.

With the door partially obscured, Tsukimi Sakura's beautiful face remained expressionless.

"Please come in, Miyazawa-kun."

But her voice remained gentle and pleasant.

While Miyazawa Itsuki was changing his shoes in the entryway, Her Highness the Saintess had already returned to the kitchen doorway.

"Dinner will take a few more minutes, so Miyazawa-kun, please rest at your seat for a while."

"Thank you for your hard work, Tsukimi-kun."

Tsukimi Sakuna gave a faint smile but didn't say anything.

After watching the other person return to the kitchen, Miyazawa Itsuki sat down in his usual spot.

For some reason, the chair was a little cramped today, so he made a simple adjustment.

There was a pot of brewed barley tea on the table. Miyazawa Itsuki took a teacup and filled it.

Now that the two no longer need to be so polite, he insists on making tea himself.

I took a couple of sips of barley tea while thinking about my date plans for tomorrow.

After a few minutes.

The kitchen door was opened again.

"Miyazawa-kun, dinner is ready."

Her Highness the Holy Maiden emerged from within, carrying a tray of food.

Miyazawa Itsuki stood up and helped the other person carry the dishes to the table.

Tonight's dinner is grilled mackerel, steamed pumpkin, tempura, and of course, miso soup.

The two spent dinner in a quiet atmosphere.

After the meal, Miyazawa Itsuki cleaned up the dishes as usual before returning to the table.

Next came a short chat. In the past, they would chat for a few minutes before Miyazawa Itsuki returned to his room.

Today, since I don't have to work, I'll be more relaxed than usual.

"Miyazawa-kun".

Her Highness smiled gently and spoke first.

"Do you...have a girlfriend?"

Miyazawa Itsuki paused, his hand holding the teacup still.

"How could you say that?"

"Because Miyazawa-kun has been very busy lately."

...It cannot be denied.

He was a marginalized guy who didn't have many friends at school, yet he couldn't find any free time on weekends.

Moreover, after school, she declined Her Highness's plan to "accompany" her, choosing to go home alone and then go out for a while.

It really does feel like falling in love.

"I have no plans to date right now."

"……Really?"

"Well, because if that happens, my promise to Tsukimi-san will be null and void."

In the initial contract, both parties stipulated that if either party started dating a boyfriend or girlfriend, the agreement to exchange meals for being a protector of a woman would end.

Since he already has a girlfriend, he has no right to go to her house for meals. The reverse is also true.

Tsukimi Sakura gave a strange smile:

"Does Miyazawa-kun value cooking more than romance?"

"To be precise, it was Tsukimi-kun's cooking."

Miyazawa Itsuki didn't hesitate:

"Compared to something like love, the former is far more significant."

Tsukimi Sakura averted her gaze.

"Even if you flatter me with sweet words, I won't do you any good for Miyazawa-kun."

"This is not flattery, it's the truth."

"Love is not for me. No girl at school would be interested in someone like me. Besides, adolescence doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in a relationship. I think Tsukimi-san thinks so too."

"Ah... um, I..."

Tsukimi Sakura's expression wavered.

It seems that Her Highness is not good at dealing with topics of love either; she just gritted her teeth and brushed it off casually.

They chatted about other things for a while, and it was clear that Tsukimi Sakura was distracted, so Miyazawa Itsuki took his leave.

Back in the rented room, the LINE message screen on my phone lit up again.

[Akanishi: Itsuki-kun, are you busy?]

Chapter 107 A Virtual Reunion

Miyazawa Itsuki paused for a moment, then replied:

[Tree: Nothing's wrong now, what's up?]

[Akanishi: Hehehe, it's nothing, I just wanted to talk to Itsuki-kun]

Since he didn't have to work, Miyazawa Itsuki had a rare moment of leisure, so he didn't mind chatting with the pastor for a while.

[Tree: What would Miss Yuhua like to talk about?]

[Akanishi: I want to know... Has Itsuki ever been in a relationship?]

Another relationship topic?

Are girls these days really interested in other people's romantic histories?

After thinking for a while, Miyazawa Itsuki answered truthfully:

[Tree: I've never been in a relationship]

There was silence on the other side for about half a minute.

[Akanishi: Eh—!]

[Akanishi: Itsuki-kun has no experience with romance, hehehe]

[Tree: Yes, I'm sorry, if Miss Yuuka wants to consult about relationship issues, I probably can't help much.]

[Akanishi: No need to apologize, I'm very happy!]

[Tree: Happy?]

[Akanishi: Ah... well, because if Itsuki-kun were in a relationship, he wouldn't have time to play with me anymore, so as a friend, I'm glad Itsuki-kun doesn't have a girlfriend... Of course, Yuuka knows this is wrong, but...]

Miyazawa Itsuki understood.

He had heard that some friends do have to reduce their contact with each other because one of them has started dating, since people's energy is not inexhaustible.

It's understandable that the pastor values ​​her friendships and worries that real-life interactions might cause her to neglect online communication.

[Tree: Miss Yuuka, you can rest assured, my chances of finding love are currently very close to zero.]

[Akanishi: Really? Why?]

Miyazawa Itsuki thought for a moment and decided to choose a safe reply.

[Tree: Because I'm so ordinary, nobody notices me.]

This is a generic answer that avoids explaining one's views on love and current circumstances.

That's enough to summarize almost half of the reasons why people are single in this world.

There was a moment of silence on the pastor's side.

[Akanishi: So if... a beautiful girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said she liked Itsuki, would Itsuki have any feelings about being in love?]

[Tree: That's impossible. Reality isn't a light novel.]

[Akanishi: I was just using an analogy, just an analogy.]

[Tree: That's hard to say]
