On the train platform, Asagi was waiting for his ride. Suddenly, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over. He instinctively turned his head and saw a girl with two braided pigtails and glasses walk up to him. She even smiled at him.
"Good morning, Asagi-kun." "Good morning,Sanshokuin. It seems you really do attend Soubu High School, just like me."
Sumireko Sanshokuin's small mouth pouted slightly. "Otherwise? Do you think I would lie to my savior?" "No,not at all. I was just curious why you live so far away. I live far because I inherited Sakura Dormitory."
To this, Sumireko Sanshokuin replied casually: "Actually, it's not too far. It only takes half an hour by train. The reason I live near Sakura Dormitory is because my friend lives nearby." Speaking of this friend, her eyes dimmed slightly. That sole friend had pushed her away when a car was coming, resulting in the friend being hit and sent to the hospital, unconscious.
Asagi didn't ask further. After nodding, he waited for the train to arrive and boarded it with her. Luckily, there was an empty seat. With quick reflexes, he guided Sumireko Sanshokuin to the empty seat. He placed his backpack on his lap, freeing his hands.
Sumireko Sanshokuin looked at her hand, which he had briefly held, her small face slightly flushed, but she said nothing. Perhaps because he had saved her from delinquents and taken her home before, she didn't resist his sudden action.
It was still half an hour to Soubu High School. Asagi simply pulled out his phone to browse the internet. Sumireko Sanshokuin pursed her rosy lips, then also took out her phone and handed it to him. "Sanshokuin?"He looked at her in confusion. The girl smiled and replied:"I want your phone number. Is that not allowed?" "Of course,it is." Asagi took her phone, typed in his number, and returned it to her without peeking at her contacts. "Thank you." "Didn't you already thank me last time?" "This time is for the phone number.I thought I'd be rejected, after all, I'm a 'country bumpkin' that even delinquents want to cause trouble for."
Are you showing off your disguise skills? Asagi internally complained, but on his face, he showed an indifferent expression, waving his hand. "Don't mind what those delinquents say. I think you must be a great beauty." "Oh,how so?" Sumireko Sanshokuin's eyes lit up, a hint of a smile flickering in her aqua-blue pupils. She seemed very pleased with his compliment.
Asagi shrugged and replied casually: "Isn't it always like this in stories? A 'country bumpkin' with braided pigtails and glasses, when she changes her hairstyle and takes off her glasses, is usually a super beauty." "Besides,I don't think your hairstyle is tacky. Although your glasses reflect light and obscure your face," "judging by the shape of your lips,this is not something an ordinary 'country bumpkin' could possess."
The reason a super beautiful girl is "super" is precisely because of her advantages over ordinary beauties—a perfectly proportioned face and delicate features. And as for the female protagonist's lips, they were naturally the perfect shape for her face: small, cute, pink, and lustrous. Observing them up close would make one want to kiss them.
Sumireko Sanshokuin instinctively covered her small mouth. "I didn't expect Asagi-kun to be a pervert who stares intently at a girl's lips. I think I need to re-evaluate you." "There's no need.I'm just being honest. Under the cover of your glasses, Sanshokuin, the only part of your face that is clearly revealed, your lips, makes me think they are very cute."
Who compliments a girl's lips by saying they're cute?! This is simply the remark of a big pervert! The girl complained internally, unable to resist rolling her eyes at him. However, she wasn't angry, but rather felt a pleasant surprise that her hidden beauty had been noticed. Who doesn't like someone who appreciates them? And he was right about everything. After changing her hairstyle and taking off her glasses, she was indeed a super beautiful girl.
Thirty minutes later, the two got off the train together and walked towards Soubu High School. At this moment, the advantage of living close by became apparent—many students had bicycles they could ride. But Asagi wasn't envious, because he had a beauty by his side.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the school gate. Because it was the first day of school, it was bustling with people. After all, besides the students, parents were also there to drop off their children.
Asagi was about to go to the bulletin board to check his class assignment when a prompt sounded in his ear.
Ding. Triggered quest: Destroy the Famous Scene. On the first day of school, a certain pink-haired girl with a side-tail didn't properly hold her pet dog's leash, and the dog ran into the road, causing a kind-hearted boy to be hit by a car, thus sparking a youthful love story. Destroy the beginning of this love story and save the kind-hearted boy. Most importantly, nip others' youthful love stories in the bud. Quest completion rewards a special skill or item. Fixed reward: 1,000,000 yen.
Upon hearing the prompt, Asagi's eyes lit up. He quickly locked onto his target. At the school gate, near the main road, a dachshund had broken free from its leash and run to the center of the road. A black car was rapidly approaching from that direction. The car's horn blared. The dachshund seemed startled, cowering and trembling in place.
At this moment, a boy with dead fish eyes, oblivious to the danger, suddenly ran over and hugged the dachshund. What a heroic act of saving a dog. For a dog, he's really risking his life, Asagi complained internally, but his body had already moved. He lunged forward, clenching his fist.
Skill - Righteous Retribution activated! With the skill's unavoidable effect guiding him,Asagi's fist connected with the boy's chin in a perfectly executed rising uppercut.
"Ah!" The boy screamed. With the dog in his arms, he was sent flying backward by the punch. At that exact moment, the car roared past the spot where he had just been standing. Asagi quickly aimed his fist at the boy's backpack, which was flying through the air. His fist Precise Hit the backpack. Using the backpack as a buffer and the force of his own movement, Asagi performed a controlled backflip, landing steadily on the roadside amidst the shocked exclamations of the crowd.
It looked incredible, almost like a movie stunt. This was actually accomplished by using the guaranteed hit and kinetic transfer effect of his skills to guide his body's movements through inertia. To master this, Asagi had rehearsed it countless times in his mind and practiced the motions.
Ding. Destroyed the famous scene of the school opening. Quest completed. Rewards issued. Congratulations, User, for obtaining the item: Cat Pack. Cat Pack: Can hold up to 10 cats. Once placed inside, they can be taken out at any time. After being taken out, the cats will become the user's eyes and ears. The user can choose to see from the cat's perspective or subtly influence their actions. Congratulations, User, for receiving the fixed reward: 1,000,000 yen.
Seeing this, Asagi's expression became strange. A Cat Pack? No. This is a special treasure for Yukino Yukinoshita!

This was the first time Asagi had received an item reward. If he guessed correctly, the person in the small car was Yukino Yukinoshita. Presumably, Mrs. Yukinoshita and her older sister, Haruno Yukinoshita, were also there. Since the famous scene was related to Yukino, getting a "Cat Pack" was an understandable reward. And there are still 3 cats at Sakura Dormitory right now...
