Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend.

He boarded the tram for the return trip, calling up the control panel as he did so.

Chapter 9 Level 2 Disguise

Name: Miyazawa Itsuki

Points Balance: 4820 + 460

[Skills: Shorthand LV2, Calligraphy LV2, Knife Skills LV2, Baking LV2, Driving LV2, Photography LV1, Basketball LV1, Appliance Repair LV1...]

The new skill 'Disguise LV2' has been added to the redemption list.

[Special Ability: A hatchet is useless against me, Casanova's Eye]

[Special Item: Passerby A's Glasses]

New skills have indeed emerged.

It's even a level 2 skill.

The panel divides skill levels into five tiers.

Amateur, professional, elite, master, legend.

LV2 corresponds to the "professional" level.

Professional-level skills are extremely rare. Even after working with about fifty clients, only a handful have reached LV2 level skills.

This proves that the panel highly approves of Naomi Asahina's skill in disguise.

The panel's grading is very strict, and the professional level cannot be granted simply by barely touching this level.

According to Miyazawa Itsuki's calculations, the panel's grading corresponds to the level of existence that has cultivated for a long time.

Even in amateur basketball, that's only in comparison to professional athletes.

In fact, his LV1 level is enough to suppress the main players of the youth school teams and dominate street basketball.

Miyazawa Itsuki clicked on [Disguise LV2].

【Disguise (LV2 Professional) Price: 1550 (Discounted Price)】

Skills can be obtained from two sources.

One type is generated by the system and refreshed weekly.

One type is drawn from the settlement of the date.

The latter will offer a certain price discount.

The price of skills is not fixed based on level.

Although both are LV2 skills, shorthand is more expensive than calligraphy, costing almost six thousand points. It's also the most expensive skill he's ever bought.

Of course, this is also because the shorthand is refreshed by the system every week, so it is purchased at the original price.

The price of the disguise (discounted price) is in the middle range.

Click to redeem Miyazawa Itsuki.

A sense of disorientation accompanied by a rush of information washing over the brain.

This includes clothing, posture control, temperament adjustment, and enhancing color aesthetics...

Countless pieces of knowledge, whether strongly or weakly related to the word "disguise," were all bundled together and crammed into Miyazawa Itsuki's memory.

Miyazawa Itsuki surveyed the passengers on the tram.

Tall or short, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly.

In his eyes, everything is abstracted into symbols, which are then arranged and combined with another element.

A tall, thin office worker three steps away is wearing an ill-fitting suit, and a female college student seven steps away has a less-than-ideal hairstyle.

Everyone's attire has its shortcomings.

Miyazawa Itsuki uses the reflection from his phone screen when it's off to observe himself.

If the goal is to maintain the current style, there aren't many areas for adjustment.

This also demonstrates Ms. Haruko's abilities. She truly deserves to be called a professional, top-tier designer.

Miyazawa Itsuki made some simple adjustments to his hairstyle.

He'll be starting his next job soon, and he needs to change his appearance.

Because Asahina Miyazaki added an hour to her schedule, Miyazawa Itsuki didn't have extra time to go back to the rented room to change clothes, and could only make some simple adjustments.

Fortunately, he still has system items to rely on.

Soon, the station's arrival announcement came on.

Miyazawa got out of the car and entered the public restroom.

With a shift in his thoughts, he pulled a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his pocket.

[Special Item: Passerby A's Black-rimmed Glasses]

[Effect: After wearing, others' perception of the wearer's appearance will be distorted. Ineffective against those who can see through the deception.]

[Note: Isn't it the fundamental logic of the world that you can become unrecognizable simply by wearing glasses?]

This was the most useful thing he had ever gotten from the panel.

Even professional-level skills have to take a backseat.

Passerby A's glasses.

A god-level item that can turn him from "handsome Miyazawa Itsuki" into "ordinary Miyazawa Itsuki".

Simply wearing it can create cognitive biases.

Although his facial features haven't changed, people just can't recognize him as the handsome guy from Tokyo he used to be; instead, he's just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

As for why he did it.

In short, being eye-catching is the original sin.

The high school that Miyazawa Itsuki attends is a metropolitan cram school with a very high deviation rate.

It has a long history, a strong faculty, and a rigorous academic atmosphere.

Although the school does not explicitly prohibit students from working, it does have many rules regarding their attitude.

If it's just a job like a convenience store cashier or a coffee shop server, that's manageable.

But jobs like renting a boyfriend.

It's clear that something crossed the school's red line.

If he were "handsome Miyazawa Itsuki", he would attract too much unnecessary attention.

People will pay attention to his life and try to find out about him, which will eventually reveal what he does on weekends.

This is not groundless.

He remembered that there was a popular school idol at school.

She caused a sensation on campus with her overwhelming beauty from the first year of school.

Not only outstanding boys in her grade confessed their feelings to her, but even upperclassmen from higher grades.

It's said that even his schedule was constantly monitored, almost leading to a major incident of being followed. This caused a minor stir within the school.

Miyazawa Itsuki doesn't want to experience anything like her, not even a tenth of what she did.

He would be grateful if he could get through his high school years peacefully.

……

Meguro Ward, Mori-zumi Cafe.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a bell, Miyazawa Itsuki, wearing glasses, pushed open the door and entered.

This is a small, classic coffee shop, filled with the aroma of coffee beans that instantly calms you down.

"Ah, it's Ashu."

A tall man peeked out from under the coffee counter; he was the owner of the café, Mr. Morizumi.

"Manager," Miyazawa Itsuki greeted, glancing around the store. "There don't seem to be many customers today."

"Haha, it's still the same old customers." Mr. Morizumi smiled broadly, carrying a new filter cup he had retrieved from under the coffee counter.

"Want something to drink? These beans were freshly air-freighted in today."

"Thank you, manager. Please save the precious beans for the customers. As usual, I'll just have a latte."

Miyazawa Itsuki did not have the taste to appreciate coffee.

He can only drink lattes with milk and sugar, or cappuccinos; he can't stand varieties that are too bitter or astringent.

Perhaps drawing a skill of a certain type in the future will stimulate the corresponding aesthetic ability.

But at least for now, we really can't enjoy the store manager's premium coffee beans.

Miyazawa Itsuki entered the staff break room and changed into his work clothes.

The words "Morizumi Coffee" are printed on the front of the shirt.

This coffee shop is where Miyazawa Itsuki usually works.

The shop belongs to Mr. Morizumi and his wife, who opened the café based on their own interests.

Because there is no rent pressure and the café only needs to serve a few regular customers, its business is relatively stable.

Miyazawa Itsuki started as a regular waiter responsible for reception.

After getting to know each other, Mr. Morizumi enthusiastically tried to teach him how to make coffee, but unfortunately Miyazawa Itsuki didn't have that talent.

However, since obtaining the LV2 [Baking] skill, Miyazawa Itsuki has started learning to make simple desserts from Mrs. Morizumi and has successfully begun to take charge of some of the dessert production.

His desserts are very popular with customers. It's safe to say they're definitely professionally made, as certified by the panel.

Chapter 10 Green

Miyazawa Itsuki was in the cafe's kitchen, preparing for the peak customer season.

He carefully washed and disinfected his hands, briefly checked the oven, milk frother, and other equipment, and then transferred the frozen Basque cake to the refrigerator to thaw.

The magnetic sticky note on the refrigerator door records today's main menu.

Caramel pudding.

This was also the first dessert he learned from Mrs. Morizumi.

Now they have achieved the goal of surpassing their predecessors.

Miyazawa prepared the pudding mixture and then preheated the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Only after he had done all this did he walk out of the kitchen.

Mr. Morizumi's coffee was already on the table, steaming hot.

Miyazawa picked up his coffee; the latte art was a standard leaf.

He took a small sip, savoring the rich aroma of coffee with just the right amount of sweetness.

Mr. Morizumi's coffee-making skills are quite outstanding; even Miyazawa Itsuki, who has no appreciation for coffee, can sense the difference between his coffee and mass-market coffee.

After finishing his coffee, Miyazawa Itsuki washed the coffee cup.

It was already 7 p.m.

A peak in customer traffic is also approaching after get off work.

Soon after, customers entered the store.

Miyazawa Itsuki is in charge of reception, but if there is a need for him to make desserts, he will switch to the work of a pastry chef.

During the time Mrs. Mori was away on a trip, he was in charge of preparing the pastries at the café.

His baking skills are certainly professional enough. Some people even come specifically for his desserts.

After serving several regular customers, Miyazawa Itsuki tidied up the cups and glasses on the table.
