Chapter 12
Eriri took out her phone, looking at the newly added LINE number, and once again fell into contemplation.
Class 1-E, it seems like in that class...
After Eriri left, Ryusei Kiryu stayed on the rooftop for a while.
He glanced at his wallet balance.
It had now become [0 gold coin 0 silver coin 54 copper coin].
Another 10 copper coin were added.
He had just obtained them from Eriri.
Ryusei Kiryu closed the system panel.
He could now basically confirm one thing:
[In this world, for any Heroine from an anime, he can obtain 10 copper coin by making minimal physical contact with them. This is limited to once a day and refreshes daily.]
"Sayuri, Kato Megumi, Eriri, Katsura Kotoha, Kasumigaoka Utaha..."
Ryusei Kiryu pondered silently.
These five Heroines were the ones he could easily contact now.
If he could successfully "check in" with them every day, that would be a stable income of 50 copper coin daily.
The problem was, how could he naturally make "physical contact" with them, even if it was just minimal.
Kato Megumi, a classmate, was easier to deal with; he could give her gum every day or something similar. Kato Megumi had a low presence, so if someone was willing to actively communicate with her, she wouldn't refuse.
Miss Sayuri was also not difficult; he just needed to visit her house often.
But the two seniors, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, were not so easy to handle.
He couldn't possibly run to their classes every day just to shake their hands.
That would truly make him a pervert.
As for Katsura Kotoha, Ryusei Kiryu thought, maybe he shouldn't buy a bicycle and instead take the subway with her every day, protecting her on the train while standing to earn this money.
It wasn't impossible.
However, this kind of behavior could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Although Katsura Kotoha was a good girl, her "good show" after her yandere transformation was somewhat frightening.
He'd better wait and see.
Ryusei Kiryu stood on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze for a while, then returned to his classroom.
After school in the afternoon, Ryusei Kiryu went to the market again.
He directly found the fishmonger uncle.
"Uncle, I'm here to buy fish again!"
"Oh, it's you, young man, pick whatever you like."
"Today I also want to gut the fish myself."
"Alright!"
Ryusei Kiryu chose a sea bream weighing around three catties and butchered it himself.
He also got two copper coin.
"Uncle, I'm free anyway, why don't I help you gut the fish?"
"This... alright."
The fishmonger uncle was quite amiable.
It was evening, and many people were coming to buy groceries, so he was a bit overwhelmed.
Ryusei Kiryu's skilled fish gutting technique could indeed help him.
It was a win-win situation.
Staying there for over an hour, Ryusei Kiryu helped gut more than a dozen fish.
He also discovered something else:
The larger the fish, the more copper coin it yielded.
The largest fish he gutted weighed over nine catties and gave him nine copper coin.
The smallest one, just over a catty, only gave him one copper coin.
After washing his hands, Ryusei Kiryu bid farewell to the fishmonger uncle and left.
On the way, Ryusei Kiryu tallied his earnings from gutting fish today.
He got a total of 57 copper coin.
Adding the previous 54 copper coin, it should have been 111 copper coin in total.
But his current wallet balance was [0 gold coin 1 silver coin 11 copper coin].
100 copper coin of it had been automatically converted into 1 silver coin by the system.
With a thought, Ryusei Kiryu tried to take out the silver coin from his wallet.
Immediately, a shimmering silver coin appeared in his hand.
Its size, shape, and pattern were identical to the copper coin.
The only difference was its material, which was "silver" instead of "copper."
Ryusei Kiryu took out his phone and tried to photograph the silver coin in his hand with the camera.
It also could not be recorded by the camera.
This meant that, like the copper coin, the silver coin could only be seen, touched, and heard by him.
After observing it for a while and satisfying his curiosity, Ryusei Kiryu put the silver coin back into his wallet.
He then went to a supermarket and bought a pile of instant foods like bread, milk, instant noodles, and also chewing gum.
After some thought, Ryusei Kiryu also bought several decks of playing cards.
His current visible innate abilities were two: Death Declaration and Double Jump.
But in reality, there was also a system-built-in capability: Spatial Storage.
With the help of his inventory, he could perform various flawless "disappearing magic tricks."
Although the identity card provided him with a bank card, it didn't have much money, only 500,000 Japanese yen.
Ryusei Kiryu had to start thinking about what would happen after this money ran out.
Things like monthly rent, clothes, food, transportation, three years of high school tuition fees... he couldn't just live off his savings; he needed to find ways to earn money.
The most common way was to do odd jobs, working part-time at convenience stores, bookstores, and the like.
However, Ryusei Kiryu wasn't interested in these jobs; he'd rather go to the market to gut fish for people, or to a slaughterhouse to kill chickens, and earn copper coin along the way.
If he really wanted to make money, he was more inclined to go the route of self-media.
For example, live streaming as a street magician.
As long as he could build up his account, he wouldn't have to worry about money afterwards.
Once his fame grew and he became a public figure, he could also better interact with those Heroines.
After all, the core of close-up magic is interaction and contact with the audience.
Inviting the audience to check props, holding the audience's hand, holding the audience's wrist... these could all be explained as "part of the performance."
"But I don't have a computer at home, nor a good set of filming equipment. Buying them would cost a lot of money..."
Ryusei Kiryu thought silently.
"But I still have to buy them; these are necessary investments."
Fortunately, the identity card came with an initial fund of 500,000 Japanese yen, otherwise he would now be worrying about the money to buy these devices.
Perhaps he really would have to use Eriri's identity to threaten her for some money.
After all, she was a genuine young lady.
Chapter 15: High-end hunters often disguise themselves as prey.
After buying things from the supermarket, Ryusei Kiryu returned to his room in the old apartment building.
He first took a shower in the bathroom.
He had picked up a lot of fishy smell while gutting fish, which was really unpleasant.
After showering, Ryusei Kiryu went into the kitchen, washed his hands, and took out the sea bream meat he had bought that night.
He mixed a batter with eggs and flour.
He washed the pot, heated the oil, and started frying the fish.
Ryusei Kiryu's cooking skills in his original world were only considered home-style; although they couldn't compare to professional chefs in this world, they certainly wouldn't be described as unpalatable.
It took some time, but Ryusei Kiryu finished frying all the sea bream meat he had bought.
He set aside one portion for dinner tonight.
He set aside another portion to give to Sayuri.
The rest, while still hot from the pan, Ryusei Kiryu directly put into his inventory.
This way, the next time he took them out, he would immediately have hot fried fish to eat.
Ryusei Kiryu picked up a plate of fried fish and went out and downstairs.
On the first floor, Ryusei Kiryu raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Coming, who is it?"
Along with the voice, the door was pushed open, and Sayuri's face appeared behind it.
"Eh? Ryusei-kun?"
Ryusei Kiryu lowered his head and smiled as he handed over the plate: "Miss Sayuri, I made fried fish tonight, but I accidentally made a bit too much, so I brought some over for you to try."
"Ah, how can I accept this!"
"My cooking skills are not refined, I hope Miss Sayuri will forgive me."
"Not at all, it smells so good! Ryusei-kun, please come in! I just squeezed some fruit juice this afternoon! Please try some too!"
"Alright, then I'll intrude."
Sayuri pulled Ryusei Kiryu's hand and led him inside.
Ryusei Kiryu heard the sound of coins dropping into his wallet in his mind.
Excellent, check-in successful.
Ryusei Kiryu carried the fried fish into the room.
He had been to Sayuri's house once before, two days ago.
That time was to help her with a snake, so he hadn't looked closely.
Today, having time, Ryusei Kiryu carefully observed the interior decoration of the house.
Chandeliers, a fireplace, high-backed armchairs, beautifully patterned carpets, a grandfather clock... overall, it was a very classic Western-style decor.
Ryusei Kiryu placed the plate in his hand on the dining table and sat down himself.
Fortunately, he had showered beforehand; otherwise, with a fishy smell, he would have been too embarrassed to sit on her luxurious sofa.
Sayuri came out of the kitchen, holding a glass pitcher in her hands.
The pitcher contained a bright red liquid.
It looked a bit like blood.
"Ta-da! This is it!"
"This is?"
