(Bonus Chapter for 100 PS)
While continuing to talk with the small assistant provided by the system, Leo learned that there was a user manual in which all the rules of the shop were written.
When he opened a drawer beneath the counter, Leo saw a user manual that looked as if it contained thousands of pages.
He struggled to lift the manual and placed it on top of the counter.
[Sir, I can answer any question you may ask. I have memorized the entire user manual.]
At first, Leo found this idea reasonable, but then he thought about the fact, what if this was a novel?
Undoubtedly, regardless of what kind of personality the main character had, no MC would choose to ignore such a shortcut when it existed.
With that thought in mind, Leo said that one had to start somewhere, opened the massive book from the middle, and began reading from a random spot.
The first few things he read really did make him think that choosing the shortcut was the more sensible option. After all, no one would be curious about which path the dust particles floating within a five meter radius of a convenience store followed.
Fortunately, before closing the book and going to bed, he found a piece of useful information.
"Little dragon, I want to remove all the price tags in exchange for one system point."
There was no reply from the little dragon, but the absurdly high price tags on the shelves disappeared.
"Little dragon, move the empty shelves to the convenience store storage and rearrange the full shelves in exchange for system points."
[An operation fee of one system point has been deducted from your account, sir.]
Leo continued flipping through the pages like a madman, searching for a useful feature.
After a full hour passed without finding a single feature he needed, he asked the little dragon instead.
"You see the cardboard pieces I placed on the outside of the shop's windows, right? Does the system have a function similar to that?"
[Of course, sir. The system has seven different functions for anti-surveillance. For the world you are currently in, I recommend activating the anti-infrared surveillance function and the standard anti-surveillance function. Activating these two functions will consume 10 system points per hour. One system point is for the standard anti-surveillance function, and nine points are for the anti-infrared surveillance function.]
After thinking for a moment, a scene formed in Leo's mind.
On the infrared camera of one of the surveillance satellites drifting through the sky, a region in the center of Seoul suddenly vanished.
Thinking of such a possibility, Leo told the little dragon that he did not want the anti-infrared surveillance function.
After all, even if he might attract the attention of some important people, the likelihood of those people actually setting up infrared cameras specifically to monitor him was extremely low.
The next moment, Leo's system points decreased by one more point, and all of the system's windows and the door turned into one way mirrors.
Leo stepped out of the convenience store, took a brief look at it from the outside, then, satisfied, closed the shop's door and placed the truck keys on top of the truck's rear tires.
After finishing up the matters here, Leo went upstairs.
When Leo reached the upper floor, he saw that the entire room's layout had changed.
When he turned his head, he saw Ms. Saem in one corner, drenched in sweat as she struggled to move a beanbag chair that was larger than herself.
When the lights in the room suddenly turned on, Ms. Saem immediately realized that she had already been caught.
She simply looked at Leo with a smile, drenched in sweat.
"Huff... huh... huh... I'm sorry... I couldn't sleep... Just let the furniture stay like this until morning... huh... Leo... I really can't sleep... They turn into nightmares and enter my dreams... huh... Are you listening to me, Leo?"
Leo pulled his gaze away from her clothes, which had become half transparent, and quietly noted that Ms. Saem was not particularly fond of wearing underwear.
"It's fine. You should go and change. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask me."
After leaving those words behind, Leo entered his room. The moment the door closed, he heard Ms. Saem's suppressed scream, but he did not care. That was because there was another interesting scene in front of him.
It seemed that Hana had not liked her own bed.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw little Hana lying on the largest bed in the room, Leo's bed, smiling adorably as she slept.
The fact that Hana did not have nightmares at night was nothing short of a miracle. A child in Hana's situation would normally have nightmares at night, no matter how well they hid it during the day. Seeing that his efforts had truly paid off, Leo smiled sweetly as well.
If he had possessed a babysitter system, he would definitely have secured the highest possible overall evaluation right now.
While looking at the cute sight, Leo initially thought about hugging Hana and sleeping beside her, but then he remembered the complaints Hana had made about him.
During their night at the hotel, Hana had fallen out of bed three times because of him.
Leo was also aware that he had slept very messily ever since coming to this world, so after thinking for a moment, he smiled and threw himself onto the small strawberry-themed bed.
Since it was far too short for someone his height, his legs hung off the bed, but he did not mind and quickly fell asleep.
When morning came, the small sounds of laughter Hana made while playing with Snowy woke Leo up.
A few minutes later, the door was knocked twice, and Ms. Saem called everyone to breakfast.
Hana cheerfully ran out of the room, but when she saw the new layout of the entire living room, the smile on her face visibly disappeared.
Pouting, Hana began questioning the landlady.
At the same time, Ms. Saem was conflicted about whether she needed to put the furniture back the way it was and looked at Leo.
Leo chose to stay out of the battle between the two women, one big and one small.
Once Ms. Saem managed to read Leo's attitude, she began spouting nonsense to try and deceive little Hana, but Hana looked as if she had left her usual stupidity behind in bed that morning.
She did not believe a single lie Ms. Saem told and continued her counterattack.
In the end, Leo had no choice but to step in.
"Ms. Saem, I have some things I need to take care of today. A friend of mine will be coming to visit, and we'll be doing some renovations downstairs. I'm worried that poisonous gases might come into the house while we're painting the walls and such, so after breakfast, could you take Hana to the amusement park for a few hours?"
Ms. Saem made something up in her head, gave Leo a lewd wink, and accepted the offer.
At first, Hana said she wanted to paint as well, but when she heard Leo seriously say that wall paint was poisonous, she had no choice but to withdraw her request.
"Don't look at me like that. Once the wall paint dries, I'll let you draw patterns on the walls with pastel crayons later."
Smiling again, Hana climbed into Leo's lap and planted a heartwarming kiss on his cheek.
"Also, please don't hesitate to have fun yourselves at the amusement park, Ms. Saem. I'll cover all of today's expenses later."

Random fact: Every 80 chapters you read in this novel contain roughly the same word count as an average English fantasy book. In other words, every chapter you read is equivalent to about 4 pages in a standard English novel.
If you started reading this novel today and have reached this point, it means you have read the equivalent of a 172-page book in a single day.
If it took you around 5 to 6 hours (excluding breaks): You are a careful and imaginative reader. (I usually read at this pace too; after all, my goal is to enjoy the book).
If it took you 3 to 4 hours: You are an average-paced reader.
If it took you 2 hours: You are in "speed-reading" mode, which likely means you are missing many details.
If it took you 1 hour: You probably have speed-reading training, and you are probably using the "skimming" technique right now.
