Chapter 12 – Episode 3. Ah, in Japan, Even Cousins are Allowed.
It’s against the rules to act innocent all day. Aris burst out laughing when I showed signs of excitement.
“Shall we eat first?”
Hiayakko and sashimi came out first and we shared them. Because of Aris’s dreamy story, it was hard to tell whether it was going into her mouth or her nose. After eating the first two menu items, motsu nabe and rice came out. I guess it just comes out in the order of preparation, but it comes out like a course menu?
Actually, after Aris’ words, I wanted to quickly eat and leave, but I guess her owner’s words that he would provide a generous portion were sincere, and the motsu nabe was served for almost three people. The chicken skewer assortment that came out soon came out twice as much as the other table I glanced at. Is it okay to discriminate like this, sir?
“I can’t eat all of this, so Ryuta has to eat it all?”
“If I’m going to work hard today, I need to eat a lot.”
Aris laughs like a devil at my words and lightly presses my nose. What a lovely young lady.
“Hehe, what kind of strength are you using?”
“Well, well…”
He asked me with a mischievous smile if he was planning to make fun of me. My personality changes a little when I drink alcohol. But it was also attractive.
I have no choice. The only thing I can do is to make him stop torturing me in bed… After devouring the motsunabe and yakitori assortment, I drank the last remaining drink of sake. Since I drank sake between meals, it was just the last drink.
“Will it happen?”
When I actually asked Aris, her face blushed and she hesitated. I grabbed Aris’ wrist. And when I pulled, Aris was dragged without resistance, like a rabbit caught by a hunter.
“Did you enjoy it? “Just give me 6,000 yen.”
Perhaps because it was my daughter’s friend, I gave it to him at a very cheap price of 6,000 yen. I ordered sake, sashimi, and lots of motsunabe.
“Here you go. It was delicious. “I’ll come again.”
“If you come with another woman, I won’t let you go, young man!”
I took out 10,000 yen from my wallet, gave it to him, and received change. When I came out, the air was cold. It was still mid-February, so it wasn’t warm. I wrapped my arms around Aris’ shoulders, who shrugged her shoulders slightly, and looked around to see if there was a place that looked good, when Aris lowered her head and pointed to one side of her.
“Hey… “There is a hotel where I am staying.”
He said he had recently taken a photo shoot at a studio nearby, so he booked a hotel nearby. Sayaka said it was a hotel introduced by a friend. She said that to walk from the restaurant she had just left to the hotel, she had to go through some deserted streets, but it was her first time walking since she had been driving there before. A truly deserted place… !
For a moment, I felt alive. I wrapped my arms around Aris and fell down next to her. A bullet that has muffled a lot of sound with a silencer shoots out! It passed by making a sound. It was okay for me to get hit by Yeouiju, but it was dangerous for Aris to get hit. Fortunately, the characteristics I chose while boarding the plane to Japan were the right answer.
◆Master’s sense [Narrative characteristics]
With excellent senses, they can sense life, the presence of others, and their intentions. The moment you feel alive, a correction is added to your agility ability.
If it weren’t for this, Aris might have been hit by a bullet. I hid Aris behind her back and looked at where her bullet had come from. There, two men wearing masks and pointing pistols with silencers were approaching us.
“Aris, first run back to where we came from. “I’ll contact you.”
“Wouldn’t it be a burden if I had you?”
Aris was quick to notice her. It seemed like he didn’t hear any fear in my voice. If it weren’t for Aris, she would be able to take down those two easily. Behind me, I heard Aris turn around and run away, and two masked men pointed guns at Aris and fired. I threw myself over and blocked the bullet with my body.
Phew! Phew! A bullet hit the abdomen with two sounds. Although I felt a terrible pain, I didn’t lose my mind because I had to rely on my will to level up both times.
I clenched my fists and rushed at him. I used the fighting technique I had learned to catch the flying bullet again.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Shinenkyuban (深淵吸盤: Abyss Sucker)
My hand moved strangely and caught the bullet fired by the masked man. The masked duo, who were not surprised even when they ran after being hit by a bullet, felt surprised this time. Such emotional changes seemed to be felt due to the master’s sensory characteristics. And I instinctively felt some of Shinkaiyatsude’s herbivorous activation methods, which I had no idea how to use until then.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Kakekushi (Shadow Skewer)
A sharp tentacle rose from the shadow of the masked duo and skewered its abdomen. They may have been highly trained assassins, but they didn’t make any noise, but I kicked their hands with my feet one after another, sending the guns flying. And they both hit each other equally on the chin. When the mask was removed, it turned out to be a Japanese man seen everywhere.
“Who sent it?”
“…”
Of course there was no answer. The assassination sent by Lee In-jo was only sent to me, and they were both skilled assassins. It was clearly an assassin hired to target me. It was probably sent by Ichiro Taira, Jiro, or Kokoro. I am about eighty percent sure. Even if it can’t be killed or killed, it was probably sent as a warning.
Ting, Ting.
The bullet that was lodged in the abdomen only now falls to the ground due to the swelling flesh. The regeneration characteristic experience level has increased slightly. I took out her phone to call Aris, and then I heard Aris’ voice.
“Ryuta!”
“Didn’t you run away too far?”
“Hehe, he was hiding nearby.”
Aris hugs me. She didn’t seem to be very surprised or embarrassed. It was as if he knew I could solve it.
“Is your stomach okay? “There’s a lot of blood on it?”
At Aris’ words, I lifted up my shirt and showed her stomach. The blood was all red when he was shot, but there was no wound on his stomach.
“That’s interesting?”
“You said you ate medicinal herbs in Korea. “I guess it speeds up my recovery.”
“I thought you were just making excuses. “Is it true?”
I didn’t want to talk in front of two people who were skewered by shadows, so I decided to talk to Aris and leave the place. Even if I called the police, they wouldn’t be able to find the person behind it, and I didn’t want to complicate things for two people who had no hope of living anymore. There was no evidence that I killed him, so there was no problem in just leaving.
As I walked along the road to the hotel, I found her clothing store and changed into the clothes Aris had bought me. It was clear that there would be an uproar if I entered the store with my stomach soaked in blood, so I waited outside the store. If something like this continues to happen, as it did with Han Yu-kyung, I will have to carry spare clothes with me every time I go out.
I changed my clothes and was about to enter the hotel when a level up window appeared in front of me. It seems that the two assassins died due to continued bleeding caused by the shadow skewer. Perhaps because he was a skilled assassin, he seemed to have been given a significant amount of experience.
LEVEL UP!
Please select a characteristic.
In addition to the level up window, another window appeared.
Successfully killed the opponent with unknown energy. Other stats Abyss is created. The Abyss can be used as an energy source for some skills. If your Will stat is lower than Abyss, the chance of receiving negative debuffs increases.
Abyss: 4
I’m glad I used the stats I received from the first 2 level ups based on my will. My will was now at 12, and I was planning to invest the 2 stats I gained from leveling up this time into my will, so my will stat was 14. This is far different from the Abyss stat, so you won’t receive a debuff. The characteristic of a stat with a demerit like Abyss was that it exerted tremendous power.
I went into the hotel with Aris before choosing my priority. It was clear that people would find it strange if I just stood there staring into space at the hotel entrance just because I chose a characteristic.
“There’s still blood on your stomach, so go wash it.”
Aris, who bought a few snacks and two cans of beer at her convenience store, said as she put the beer in the refrigerator. I nodded, took off my top and entered the shower room. I felt Aris watching my muscular body with lustful eyes. Huh… I’m excited too?
I turned on the shower and bathed in hot water. I chose the trait while taking a shower.
Please select a characteristic.
①Basic speaking skills ②Poison nails ③Horseback riding skills
With the [Enhance Potential] Option of the item [Yeouiju], You can change the characteristics that can be selected by leveling up to random characteristics of a higher grade. Would you like to change it?
This time, I had no hesitation and used Yeouiju’s Potential Enhancement without hesitation since they were all garbage traits. Three characteristics disappeared and new characteristics appeared.
①Fire affinity ②Generation of organs: Fire spring ③Breakthrough of limit: Will
Oh, a limit breakthrough is coming! With the Heavenly King’s Pill, all physical stats were able to break through the limit of 20, but the mental world could not break through the limit, so if you choose that 3rd attribute this time, you will be able to increase your will to over 20.
Among the rest, as mentioned before, flame affinity and element affinity were all soup characteristics. And organ creation was a trait that allowed humans to create organs that humans could not have, and fire glands created organs called fire glands under both chins, allowing them to use a technique called flame breath. However, if you did not have fire affinity, it was a useless trait as you would also get burned.
In the end, the only things to choose were Flame Affinity or Limit Break: Will, but since there was an abyss stat that came out this time, I chose Limit Break: Will.
◆Limit Break: Will [Unique Trait]: The efficiency of mental stat will increases and the maximum will becomes 22.
Although it is not a good trait right now, this ability to break through limitations was a good trait to look at in the latter half of the game. Will also goes well with psychic abilities, so I hope it comes out as a trait later.
“I washed everything.”
When I came out, Aris was standing there in her underwear. Aris’ eyes were filled with lust. Looking through the slit of her panties, she saw that she was already soaked.
“Ryuta, I saw you fighting… “I can’t take it anymore.”
Aris ran up to me and kissed me. She’s a little weird, she’s excited to see a fight. Well, I’m fine.
