Chapter 377 Neighbors

the other side.

After getting his hair cut, Kato Yusuke went to the news agency and bought himself a new smartphone.

I didn’t choose the couple’s model I’ve used before.

This time, on the recommendation of the store clerk, he chose a general-purpose model that is popular among students.

The contract was completed and the money was paid.

On the way home, I stopped by the bathhouse and washed myself from head to toe.

Then we had lunch at a ramen shop before returning to the apartment.

Including the time on the road, the whole process took about five hours.

It was morning when I went out, and it was already past noon when I came home.

After a few days, not only was the money in the bankbook emptied, but there was only 8,500 yen left in the wallet, and the Eiri family still owed a debt of 20 million.

Kato Yusuke had never thought about it before, but after he calmed down, these things naturally came to his mind.

He thought for a while and contacted Mrs. Sawamura.

He originally wanted to exchange system points for money to repay the debt, but when the other party heard the purpose of his call, he did not rush to urge him. Instead, he comforted and encouraged him, as if he had heard something from his daughter.

The two had a brief chat.

Aside from the teasing and hints about asking him to be her son-in-law, Mrs. Sawamura gave him a year of generous time and asked him to pay back slowly during this period.

Kato Yusuke silently remembered this kindness in his heart, said nothing more about it, and ended the call after expressing his gratitude.

After that, he took the handout Hui had brought in the morning, sat at his desk and read it silently.

In the process of learning, time passes slowly...

As the sun gradually sets towards the west, the living room is filled with an orange-red halo.

Except for turning on the lights when the indoor light was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish, Kato Yusuke sat at the desk and made up for the progress of the class.

Mandarin, mathematics, English, science, social studies...

While referring to the lecture notes, I continued to work on the exercise books and papers against the textbook.

The rustling of pencils and the turning of pages in books always echoed in the room, which sounded very comfortable.

Time seems to have returned to the past, but the melody of cleaning the room and cooking is missing.

He stopped writing only when the sky was completely dark and even the last ray of the setting sun had completely disappeared from the horizon.

"If you want to relieve the feeling of loss, getting your body moving is the most effective way."

Kato Yusuke suddenly had a deeper understanding of this sentence, and thought of the pantyhose given as a gift by a certain senior.

He put that thing in the corner of the closet and didn't use it. He didn't quite understand what the other person said about making the body move. He planned to find an opportunity to return it later.

He took out the curry that Hui had made on Tuesday night from the refrigerator, simmered some rice himself, served the morning sandwich as a side dish, and had dinner.

I couldn't help but think of what the other party had said, and read it silently.

"If you leave something like curry for too long, the flavor of the spices will be lost."

He was silent for a while, then involuntarily glanced at the closet. His eyes seemed to pass through the cabinet doors and drawers, and he saw the white handkerchief with a citrus smell.

My chest, left palm, and cheek were all aching again.

Before his thoughts started to spread, he shifted his attention elsewhere and reviewed his current situation.

"System, open the panel."

A transparent blue interface unfolds before your eyes.

[Character: Kato Yusuke (Intruder of Time and Space)]

(Explanation: Time has left traces on you. About ten years have been deducted from your life, along with certain negative effects.)

[Age: 16 years old]

[Stamina: 8]

[Intelligence: 7]

【Charm:7】

[Skills: Dodge (entry level), shooting (proficient level), fighting (proficient level), painting (proficient level)]

【Points:969700】

【Money: 8500】

"Use the intelligence discount coupon to exchange for 1 point of intelligence."

'The intelligence discount coupon has been used, 10,000 points have been deducted, and the character status has been updated.'

Kato Yusuke sat quietly for a while, feeling his brain being wrapped in warm water and a subtle sensation like electric stimulation.

Yesterday I redeemed four packs of dried fish, and today I redeemed a bottle of beauty cream to add 1 point of intelligence, so I still have 959,700 points left.

Since there are currently no items and skills that can be exchanged in the store.

So after finishing these things, he quickly turned off the panel and continued to eat dinner.

'It would be great if we could refresh the wine, even beer...' he thought a little bit wildly.

Have eaten and washed the dishes.

I wanted to continue reading and studying...

——Ding dong~

As a result, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Kato Yusuke got up, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

Appearing outside the door was a man wearing a black suit.

"...Mr. Yoshida?"

There was some doubt in his eyes, and the other party nodded and said hello.

"Oh, good evening, are you busy?"

"No, is something wrong?"

"Well... I can't tell if there is any." Yoshida looked at him, scratched the back of his head as if he didn't know what to say, and then asked: "Anyway, if you are fine, do you want to come and sit at my place?"

"Sit down?"

"right."

"Why?"

"I'm telling you, you seem to have not gone to school at all recently, right? If you have any troubles, why don't you come and talk to me?"

As he said this, he sighed, as if he felt that he was a little nosy, but he continued to speak.

"After all, we are more or less neighbors. I also came here from high school... I packed fried chicken and skewers from the izakaya. If you don't want to, forget it."

The two looked at each other for a while.

Kato Yusuke suddenly asked: "Is there any beer?"

——Boom.

After hearing this, Yoshida rewarded him with a knife and scolded him: "I won't give it to you if I have it. Just drink juice as a child!"

Yusuke was not angry about this, and just asked silently: "Has no one ever said that you are a bad person? Mr. Yoshida."

"Hey, it's not your turn as a brat to say this. Anyway, do you want to come?"

"I'll pack my things and head over."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and you can knock on the door later."

"good."

Watching the other party leave, Kato Yusuke returned to the house and picked through the room.

Finally, he found the box of yokan given by Yinglili, and took two packs of coffee sent by Shiyu-senpai from the box, keeping two packs for himself.

As he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something. He put his right hand into the pocket of his shorts and found a pair of tattered stockings.

Then he threw it into the trash can in the bathroom and washed his hands.

Then he left the room, carrying his things and walked to the "202" room next door.

——Dong dong.

After knocking on the door, wait quietly.

Accompanied by the dull sound of approaching footsteps, the door opened two seconds later.
