Tokyo Soft Rice King

Tokyo Soft Rice King

Author: Ghost Under the Night

Summary:

Reborn in Tokyo, with no talent or virtue, I just want to lie down, but I have no money.

However, it was impossible for me to work, and I had to find a way to make a living immediately.

Since there is no mature, beautiful, rich woman willing to support me...then I'll find a potential future rich woman, train her, improve her favorability, and then use the favorability to cash in for money!

This is the secret of lying flat created by Hei Yuming: the theory of investing in future meal tickets.

As long as we can control the growth and decline of good feelings and maintain the balance between ships, then...

Living off others until death is just around the corner!

Our slogan is: "Lie flat, play dirty, and eat free food!"

……

Breaking news: Mr. Kuroba Akira, a well-known entrepreneur and investor who had been missing for a long time, has finally been rescued. Several of the main culprits were female friends with whom he had established an ambiguous relationship during his student days.

Next, please watch a clip of Mr. Kuroba Akira being rescued.

"Why... I asked you for so much money, but your favorability... didn't drop but increased?!"

Thanks to Mr. Kuroba Akira for sacrificing himself to prove two truths.

First, the favorability of the stock market is unpredictable.

Second, there will always be a price to pay for living off others.

……

Third, this book has a harem, but be warned of the heavy female twist.

Volume One

Chapter 1 Campus Life Starting from Scratch

"No way……"

A high school boy with a dejected look on his face stood in front of the vending machine and searched all his pockets, but he didn't find even a ten-yen coin.

Finally, we ran out of ammunition and food.

The shrill chirping of cicadas came to my ears, the air in my field of vision was twisting and shaking, beads of sweat ran down my forehead and cheeks, and I felt like my soul was slipping away from the top of my head.

Damn, how can the summer in an island country be so hot... Tokyo! Hot!

It's already the last day of August, but there's no sign of the temperature dropping.

Reluctantly, he bent down and reached out to touch the coin return slot, wondering if someone had forgotten to take the change after buying a drink, but in the end he touched it in vain.

Although he was not rich in his previous life, he was at least a social animal who could support himself and had never been so poor.

It would be fine if he didn't become a winner in life after the reopening, but he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a cold drink. That's just too miserable.

Now he faces a difficult choice.

That is to run away from the vending machine like a loser, or...

One last try!

So, as a man who stands tall and proud, it goes without saying what choice I should make at this time, right?

Oh my god! I'm coming to see you!

He continued to bend over, his knees slowly lowering, his hands supporting the ground, his entire body assuming the ferocious posture of a king of beasts hunting...

Success or failure depends on this one move!

Come on! Koi!

For a true duelist, everything is inevitable!

"Kuroba-kun, no matter how short of money you are, don't lie down on the ground and look under the base of the vending machine. Your uniform will get dirty."

What appeared in the field of vision was not the coin that changed fate, but a pair of black leather shoes. Judging from the shoe size of 23cm (size 36), the owner of these shoes should be around meters tall.

For a Sakura girl, this is considered quite tall.

Looking up through her black over-the-knee socks, the girl covered the hem of her school uniform skirt with her hands. Her defense was impenetrable, preventing him from glimpsing the secret realm of the abyss above the absolute domain.

Being seen in such an embarrassing state, he... Hei Yuming, didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stood up and dusted off his uniform and made a cunning argument.

"I'm not looking for dropped coins, I'm just checking my fortune for the day."

Hearing this, the girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and even raised her hands to cover her mouth.

However, what surprised her was not the stubbornness of someone who was caught in the act, but the fact that Hei Yuming spoke at all.

"Kuroba-kun, so you can talk?"

"...I'm not dumb, of course I can speak."

Hei Yuming rolled his eyes and complained while hooking his collar to get some fresh air.

The girl tapped her cheek, giving a reason for her surprise.

"Because it's been a semester and a summer since we were assigned to the same class, but I've never seen Kuroba-kun talk to anyone."

"Humph……"

Kuroba Ming really couldn't refute this, because he really didn't say a word to his classmates during the first semester of his freshman year in high school.

It seems that he only spoke a few words to Mr. Kobayakawa, who taught Chinese. The teacher was so moved that he cried because Kuroba Akira was willing to speak.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk, nor does he want to act cool, it’s simply because... he can’t speak Japanese!

As a pure-blooded flower-breeder who grew up under the red flag in his previous life, although Kuroba Ming in his previous life was an old man who had been immersed in Japanese culture for many years, had a considerable understanding of Japanese culture and the film and television industry, could read the Japanese kana, knew many internationally renowned actresses, and could speak some lines that were engraved in his DNA, it was still too difficult for him to have daily conversations like a local.

So when he found out that the place he traveled to was an island country and there were no additional benefits or systems, he, who had always been gentle and easy-going, couldn't help but curse.

Blanch! ! !

God damn, this is insane!

Here are my benefits as a time traveler!

If you don't give me a system, forget it! At least install the 'local dialect'!

What kind of school is this? What kind of high school student is this?

But even though he complained, he still had to learn. After all, as of now, Hei Yuming realized that he would not be able to return to his original world. After all, he didn't even know how he had traveled through time.

So, Kuroba Akira began the arduous process of self-study with tears in his eyes.

I borrowed the elementary school Chinese textbook that her granddaughter used from the landlord, Ou Basan. I wore headphones to practice listening in class, and went to the library to read books that seemed to be written in alien languages ​​after class. When I got home, I had to pester the hot-tempered landlord, Ou Basan, to practice speaking.

Day after day, after intensive training during the summer vacation, Hei Yuming finally improved his Neon language to the entry level of Lv1.

Don’t underestimate this entry-level level, it’s already at a level where even the locals can’t tell what’s strange about it. If someone knew that Kuroba Akira was a time traveler, they would at least praise him: You’ve mastered the art of making Neon Valley red bean paste!

The girl in front of him was the second person that Kuroba Ming had a formal conversation with after he learned the local dialect... The first one was the old landlady.

"So what was the reason for you to suddenly start talking?"

"There's no real trigger. It's just that the teenage rebellion is over, so I need to remove the barriers in my heart."

After saying this, Hei Yuming couldn't help laughing. He was fifteen years late for puberty.

The girl blinked, accepted this obviously perfunctory statement, clasped her hands behind her back, and revealed a charming smile that was enough to make a truly ignorant boy in adolescence fall in love at first sight.

"I see. So, I'm Kuroba-kun's first date."

"..."

In an instant, the uncle's heart began to beat faster.

This is quite ambiguous...

Hei Yuming looked at her smiling expression and couldn't tell whether her smile was truly natural or just pretending.

"But I hope that Kuroba-kun isn't talking to me because he's so friendly to every stranger, but because he knows me. After all, if I'm the only one who knows Kuroba-kun, it would seem a bit presumptuous."

She took half a step forward, leaned forward, and put her face close to Hei Yuming and asked.

"So, Kuroba-kun, do you know what my name is?"

"..."

Hei Yuming couldn't answer immediately, but it wasn't like he had no impression or forgotten, after all, they were classmates.

There are only about 30 students in a class in Neon. It’s okay if I don’t recognize the students from the next class, but at the very least, I can’t even remember the faces of my classmates. Besides, it’s been almost half a year.

There was just a small accident during the self-introduction session on the first day of school.

At the time, Kuroba Akira was still in a state of double confusion: "I don't understand what Neon Groove is!" and "Who the hell am I?" He was so preoccupied with his own problems that even though she had introduced herself, Kuroba Akira hadn't remembered her name.

By the way, the whole process of Kuroba Akira's self-introduction is...

Stand! Silence! Look straight ahead! With a determined gaze! Say nothing! Stand like an ascetic, in meditation!

Ten seconds... twenty seconds... thirty seconds...

After a suffocating minute, Motoko Kobayakawa, the homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, who could no longer bear to watch and did not want to waste any more time, briefly introduced Kuroba Akira's name on his behalf and gently urged other students to try to make friends with Kuroba Akira.

However, how can a self-introduction that is close to absolute zero (digging one's own grave) be changed by just a little care from the homeroom teacher?

Kuroba Akira was labeled as a gloomy weirdo who "I don't want to have anything to do with him". On the first day of school, his classmates unanimously classified him as the bottom of the class, even lower than the level of otaku.

Of course, Hei Yuming has never cared.

It would be better to say that he was a little happy because he successfully learned his new name and how to pronounce it, although the price was a lonely myth for the entire semester.

Perhaps the girl in front of him also remembered Hei Yuming's name at that time.

However, Hei Yuming originally thought that he would not have any interaction with the students in the class until graduation. He did not expect to talk to her here, and it was the other party who took the initiative to talk to him.

Is it because it's summer vacation and there are no other classmates around that you dare to come over and talk to me? No, I should be more scared if no one is around, right?

Who knows if this gloomy weirdo is a psychopath... Generally speaking, people would think so.

But her attitude was a bit too friendly, so what was her purpose in approaching him?

Hei Yuming, who has the mind of an adult, did not feel elated by the girl's gentle treatment, but became alert instead.

Was she trying to confirm her popularity in class? To see if this poor idiot behaving foolishly at the vending machine had a crush on her?

Should I pretend to be a dog who is fascinated by her and take the opportunity to ask her to buy me a drink?

Hei Yuming, who was dizzy from the heat, was already thinking about whether to sell his dignity for a bottle of cold drink.

Back to the present, Hei Yuming thought for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​pretending to be a bootlicker with difficulty, and instead chose another compromise answer.

Kuroba Akira didn't know the girl's name, but he still remembered her "status" in the class.

"You are the squad leader, right?"

"call……"

The girl seemed relieved, patted her chest with a distinct curve, and let out a breath.

"Why? Isn't it?"

Hei Yuming thought he had made a mistake, but the girl shook her head and smiled.

"No, I just think it's great. It seems that at least my appearance is remembered by Hei Yujun."

The girl did not point out that Hei Yuming did not know her name. Instead, she gave him a cute smile that said, "I'm honored to be remembered by you."

Oh my god! She must like me!

It would be a miracle if it were like this... Hei Yuming thought the girl was pretending to be innocent and wanted to tease her.

"Because you really don't look like a class monitor, I remember it."

"Hmm? What do you think a class monitor should be like, Kuroba-kun?"

"As for the monitor, she should be a country girl with black hair, round glasses, pigtails, big breasts, and her catchphrase is 'I don't know everything, I only know what I know'. And she will show me her underwear, right?"

Most people would be scared away by such a sudden teasing remark, but it is obvious that the girl's mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
