After feeling the increase in his Chakra and Dojutsu power from leveling up, Yukito pondered for a moment before purchasing a few more antidote pills from the system store and placing them in his backpack.
He checked the time, turned off the lights in his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began meditating with his eyes closed.
After activating and binding with the system, although the fastest and most convenient way to become stronger was by killing demons and monsters or completing various randomly assigned system missions to gain experience points, level up, and learn new ninjutsu, he could also choose to train through his own efforts.
However, relying solely on personal training would definitely not be as fast as using experience points to increase his level.
But Yukito was already accustomed to this. As his strength gradually increased, his need for sleep also decreased.
Moreover, every level-up restored him to his peak condition, so Yukito felt neither drowsy nor fatigued at this moment.
Yukito sat cross-legged on his bed in the pitch-black room, silently refining his Chakra.
He wasn't sure how much time had passed, but while immersed in his training, Yukito suddenly opened his eyes.
He seemed to have heard the faint rustling of footsteps outside the door, and they appeared to have stopped right in front of his bedroom.
*Creak~!*
After the footsteps stopped, about two or three minutes passed before Yukito noticed his bedroom door being slowly pushed open.
Yukito frowned slightly and remained seated on the bed, making no move to turn on the light as he watched the somewhat furtive figure sneak into his room.
Although the room was completely dark, Yukito could still make out the figure's silhouette with his Sharingan.
"Yukikaze?"
"Why aren't you sleeping in your own room so late at night? Why did you come to mine?"
Seeing the furtive figure tiptoeing closer, Yukito reached over and switched on the bedside lamp, asking with a hint of confusion in his voice.
Besides him, only Shiranui, Sister Rinko, and Yukikaze lived in the Mizuki Family residence.
Even though he couldn't clearly see her face in the darkness, he could identify the visitor as Yukikaze just from her figure.
"Onii-chan... it's already so late. Aren't you sleeping yet?"
Under the soft glow of the bedside lamp, Yukikaze, dressed in a thin nightgown, looked up at Yukito, who was sitting on the bed. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, while an awkward smile appeared on her lips.
"I can use meditation to replace sleep, but Yukikaze, sneaking into my room at this hour, are you perhaps planning a night attack?"
"It's quite bold of you to choose tonight, not only is Shiranui-auntie home, but Sister Rinko is also staying over; aren't you worried about being discovered by them?"
Yukito looked at Yukikaze, who appeared unusually nervous. A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
He had initially heard the rustling footsteps outside the door and thought it was Shiranui-auntie coming to give him a different kind of reward, but he hadn't expected it to be Yukikaze.
"Night attack what… I… I would never do such a thing!"
"I just wanted Onii-chan to help me with something, help… help me… never mind, Onii-chan, you should get some rest!"
Seeing that Yukikaze seemed to want his help with something but was speaking hesitantly, even giving up her initial idea and turning to leave in the end, Yukito couldn't help but become more curious.
He quickly flipped out of bed and walked to Yukikaze's front in two or three steps.
"If there's anything you need help with, just say it directly, why are you looking so troubled?"
Yukito looked at Yukikaze, who was blushing and avoiding his gaze, and noticed the phone in her hand.
With a hint of suspicion, he directly snatched the phone from Yukikaze's hand, unlocked the screen, and saw the image displayed on it.
It was a video paused on a video website.
Based on the video's title and subtitles, Yukito roughly understood that it was a video teaching how to improve one's figure, especially how to make a flat chest become fuller and more upright.
"You sneaking into my room late at night, behind Shiranui-auntie and Sister Rinko's backs, wouldn't be to have me help you with acupressure massage, would it?"
"Although this video says that having a male friend help with the massage can achieve better results…"
"Yukito's gaze lingered on the video screen on the phone for a few seconds, and he suddenly felt that the phone he had snatched from Yukikaze was becoming a bit hot to handle.
Although he knew that Yukikaze, this girl, might have been well taken care of by him since childhood and was somewhat dependent on him, her Onii-chan, he really hadn't expected Yukikaze to even ask him for help with such a private matter.
The video indeed suggested that an opposite-sex person, preferably a boyfriend, should help with the massage to achieve the best effect, but was it really appropriate for him, given his identity, to do such a thing for Yukikaze?
"I just happened to stumble upon that video; I never thought of asking Onii-chan to help with something like that!"
Yukikaze had thought Yukito was asleep, so she had secretly snuck in here, planning to use Onii-chan's hand to give herself a massage, but who knew Yukito would discover her immediately, even seeing that video on her phone.
Facing her Onii-chan's inquiry, Yukikaze naturally couldn't admit it. How could she possibly say that she wanted Onii-chan to help her massage her chest!
"I… I just came over to see if you were asleep, Onii-chan."
"I'm going back to my room to rest!"
Yukikaze, her face flushed, snatched the phone from Yukito's hand, turned, and hurriedly fled, her back looking somewhat disheveled.
"Eh, if you wanted me to help with a massage, I never said I wouldn't agree!"
Watching Yukikaze's hurried escape, Yukito was about to say something to make her stay, but before he could, Yukikaze had already left his room.
Yukito Mizuki thought carefully; if Yukikaze were to ask other boys for help with a chest massage, for example, he would absolutely not be able to accept that.
He just wasn't sure if this method of making one's figure more voluptuous through massage would be effective for Yukikaze, after all, according to the Anti-Demon Ninja-themed doujinshi, manga, or anime he had seen before transmigrating, Yukikaze's figure seemed to have hardly changed, whether she was her current self or her adult self many years later, even giving a feeling of becoming increasingly meager.
This also led Yukito to be completely unable to imagine what Yukikaze's figure would look like after becoming more voluptuous, which was probably because he had seen too few doujinshi before transmigrating.
After the little interlude of Yukikaze's sudden intrusion, Yukito Mizuki no longer had the mind to continue meditating and refining Chakra, so he turned and lay back down on the bed.
He decided that when the time was right, he would talk to Yukikaze and tell her that if she truly needed someone to help with a massage, he could still assist.
The moon set and the sun rose; the night quickly passed.
The next morning, Yukito, due to the good habits he had developed over more than a year since activating and binding the system, did not sleep in even during the holiday. He woke up at dawn, quickly washed up, then walked out of his bedroom to the living room downstairs, opened the refrigerator, looked for leftover ingredients, and began preparing today's breakfast.
After making breakfast, Yukito unhurriedly cleaned up the kitchen, then went upstairs to wake up Shiranui and the others.
"Yukito-chan is really thoughtful. A kind boy like Yukito-chan should be very popular with girls, right? How come I haven't heard of Yu-chan having a girlfriend yet?"
"Is it that the girls you meet at school usually aren't your type, or are you actually already in love with someone?"
In the living room on the first floor of Mizuki Estate, Shiranui, Akiyama Rinko, and Yukikaze, who had been woken up by Yukito, sat at the dining table, looking at the breakfast that was already laid out, emitting an appetizing aroma and still warm, which made Shiranui Mizuki say with a touch of emotion.
Shiranui Mizuki had originally just spoken casually out of emotion, with no other intentions.
However, Yukikaze and Akiyama Rinko, sitting opposite, both put down their utensils in unison upon hearing her words and looked up at Shiranui, who was sitting next to Yukito.
"Yukito-chan can't be considered an ordinary person anymore, right? The girls he knew at school before were all ordinary girls, and they don't seem suitable to be Yu-chan's girlfriend."
"None of the girls at Onii-chan's school are the person in Onii-chan's heart!"
"You two seem very concerned about whether Yukito-chan has a girlfriend or not. If you're really that concerned, then you should make an effort and be more proactive yourselves, lest you encounter more formidable competitors later."
Shiranui looked at Yukikaze and Rinko in front of her, revealing a meaningful smile, and said pointedly.
She could naturally see that both Yukikaze and Rinko harbored a slight fondness for Yukito-chan, but neither had directly expressed the hidden feelings in their hearts.
She originally wanted to give her daughter a little guidance, telling her how to capture the heart of the person she liked.
But then she remembered that she didn't seem to have much experience herself, so she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
She even recalled the reward she gave Yukito-chan in the bedroom last night, and Yukito-chan's physical reaction at the time, which somehow made her feel a desire to act on her daughter's behalf.
"Quickly finish breakfast and then go to the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base to explain yesterday's mission situation to Asagi. Yukito-chan's desire to join the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization also needs Asagi's approval."
Shiranui Mizuki did not continue the topic about Yukito's girlfriend or the person he liked, casting her strange thoughts aside. She changed the subject and began to urge the slow-moving Yukikaze.
