Chapter 33: Sleepless Night [2nd Update]

Lin Ye's gaze fell on the other attribute values.

Strength, Agility, and Physique values were all below the average value, which was also normal, as Hoshino Ai was only sixteen years old now, and he wasn't much higher himself.

He was only one year older than Hoshino Ai.

[Name: Lin Ye]

[Character Nickname: Unnamed]

[Strength: 8]

[Agility: 9]

[Physique: 9]

[Charm: 12]

[Spirit: 15]

This was still after adding points from achievements, with Agility, Charm, and Spirit all having points added.

His spirit was so high; he guessed it was because he was a transmigrator.

"I have to start exercising my body later to improve my physical fitness as soon as possible,"

the body is the capital.

Without a good body, one cannot cope with more dangerous game dungeons. ===== CHAPTER 80 =====

"Don't be in a hurry to add points. After I study the game carefully, I will provide you with suggestions, as well as the use of game points."

"I'll listen to Lin Ye-kun for everything."

Having Lin Ye to trust and rely on, Hoshino Ai felt very at ease.

Suddenly,

Hoshino Ai thought of something and 'slapped' the bed.

"I almost forgot about Kuroda-san. Should we contact Kuroda-san? She should be fine now, right!"

"Do you have her contact number?"

"Mm."

Hoshino Ai nodded; she took out her phone and pressed the contact number.

'Beep...'

'Beep beep beep...'

After a while, the call finally connected.

"Hello! I'm Kuroda Hikari, who is this?"

Kuroda Hikari's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Ai-chan."

"Ai-chan?"

Kuroda Hikari made a puzzled sound.

"Hoshino Ai, Ai-chan."

"That... did you dial the wrong number? I don't know anyone named Hoshino Ai."

Hoshino Ai wanted to say something, but Lin Ye patted her lightly and shook his head to remind her.

At this point, he already had his answer.

"So, sorry, I dialed the wrong number."

"It's okay."

The call hung up.

Kuroda Hikari was very puzzled,

"Ai-chan? Hoshino Ai, seems like I've heard that somewhere."

"Hikari, isn't there an idol named Hoshino Ai?"

Her mother, who had just come out of the kitchen, thought of someone and spoke up.

"Idol... ah, right, it's the idol. She even held a concert here before; many boys in our school went to see it."

She remembered, but why would that idol have her contact number? This didn't sound like a wrong number at all!

She couldn't figure it out and finally gave up.

……

……

"Kuroda-san really doesn't have memories of the hotel."

"This is a good thing,"

Lin Ye believed Kuroda Hikari had made the right choice.

"She knows her own strength very well; accepting the invitation would only lead to death in the end. It's better to refuse the invitation and return to her original daily life, which is the most correct choice."

"But but..."

Hoshino Ai anxiously held her hands and looked up,

"Kuroda-san promised to wear a school swimsuit for Lin Ye-kun to see!"

Why is your focus always so different?

"She can't wear it and can't keep her promise, then, then... I will wear it for... Lin Ye-kun to see in the future, which can be considered as fulfilling the promise for a friend."

Her serious appearance didn't contain a hint of a joke.

Hoshino Ai really thought so and was really prepared to do so.

"Good,"

Lin Ye accepted directly.

Free benefits, what reason is there to refuse?

The basic important things had already ended.

Lin Ye checked the time; it was about time to rest.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early!"

"Eh, go... go back?"

She even revealed an astonished look.

"If you don't go back, are you planning to stay and warm the bed? I'd be very happy to."

Hoshino Ai immediately blushed and shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum.

"Then... then I'm going back."

As the words fell, she ran out of the room like a cat.

Lin Ye smiled and lay on the bed.

He felt that if he forced the girl, she would eventually accept it, but...

"I have a feeling Hoshino Ai is going to get pregnant."

Of course, another reason was that Lin Ye noticed the girl had concerns and wasn't mentally prepared. If Hoshino Ai hadn't left and stayed, he would have felt he could have taken the path to adulthood.

"Sleep, I'll go find Mai tomorrow."

Lin Ye burrowed into the quilt and turned off the lights to rest.

And in the room next door, after Hoshino Ai turned off the lights and closed her eyes, scenes of the 'Love Heart Love Hotel' always appeared, and the weird monsters made her nerves tighten subconsciously.

She hid in the quilt and couldn't sleep at all.

"I should have just slept by Lin Ye-kun's side,"

the world is so uncomfortable, the weirdos are so scary.

Tonight, for Hoshino Ai, was destined to be a sleepless night.

……

……

Tokyo,

somewhere, in a corner not reached by neon lights,

several figures stood.

"It's already confirmed; before the police arrived, Yamamoto's weird object had already been taken away."

A shadow shook his head.

"Yamamoto, that trash—I told him not to let his lust go to his head and cause trouble. He went, and he ended up falling."

Apparently, there were 'Weird Game' players at the concert too; otherwise, how could Yamamoto die, and even the weird object be taken away?

"The weird object must be recovered."

"Since the incident happened at the concert, then find those people at the concert; there will definitely be more clues from them."

The primary target was naturally the two who participated in the police station's notes.

……

…… ===== CHAPTER 81 =====

"Ring ring..."

"Ring ring..."

A burst of phone ringing sounded.

Lin Ye, who was sleeping soundly, was annoyed.

He finally had a good night's sleep, only for a phone call to come early in the morning, ruining his good mood.

He fumbled with his hand and hung up directly.

But soon, the phone rang again.

"Don't you let people sleep!"

Lin Ye answered it.

"You brat, you dare to hang up on me? Have you grown the guts of a bear and a leopard?"

A roar like a lioness from the east immediately came through the receiver, the voice of an adult woman.

"Who is this! You..."

He was irritable from being woken up.

"What!"

"I'm not buying insurance, go find someone else."

After saying that, Lin Ye prepared to hang up, but the phone immediately made a sound again.

"What time is it today, are you not coming to class?"

"Watching Mai today, not going."

After saying that,

Lin Ye hung up the phone.

After a while,

Lin Ye sobered up a little.

He blinked and said,

"It seems like it's class time, it's already nine o'clock, it's definitely too late."

Lin Ye checked the time on his phone and immediately lay back down, relaxed.

"It's too late to go anyway, and besides, I don't even know where I have class."

He did not have the memories of the original owner.

He only had a passport with him, no student ID.

Originally, Lin Ye intended to confirm his situation through the embassy to obtain relevant information, but now the contact from this teacher had opened up a new path for him.

"But how should I explain the memory loss to this teacher?"

"Just say I have amnesia."

Let's use last night's murder case as the explanation!

Anyway, he had provided the explanation and the reason; as for whether they believed it, that was another matter.

"But then again, do I still need to go to school?"

Lin Ye hesitated a bit.

"Better go for now, I can't find a suitable social identity at my age anyway."

First, having transmigrated and started life over, enjoying high school life once more was a decent experience. In his previous life, high school was all about studying and exams, full of pressure from the college entrance exam. In this life, a Japanese high school should allow for what they call enjoying one's youth.

"Second, considering future concealment, I also need an identity in real society."

Too many anomalies would attract attention.

Lin Ye did not believe the authorities had no understanding of the Weird Game, nor did he believe they had no players of the Weird Game. He even boldly guessed that the authorities had already established specialized departments and organizations.

Unless the Weird Game became widespread and the number of personnel reached a level that could be ignored, low-key behavior and concealment were necessary for his own safety.

"Third, since I've already come to a two-dimensional world, experiencing a two-dimensional high school counts as fulfilling the wish I had as a two-dimensional otaku in my previous life."

"I don't even know which high school I'm attending."

"If it's not a two-dimensional high school, I'll have to find a way to transfer to one of those."

It's just that he didn't know what other high schools existed in this world besides Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School and Kanagawa Prefectural Minegahara High School.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

And this time,

After he answered, he heard the voice of another woman.

……

……

"Slap..."

Chiba,

A female teacher wearing a white lab coat slammed her phone onto the desk in anger.

"I'm so mad, I'm so mad, I'm going to give him the iron fist sanction."

'Click, click, click...'

She kneaded her hands, and her bones made a crisp sound.

"Ahem, ahem, Senior Hiratsuka, teachers are forbidden from using violence."

"Hina, you don't know what that brat said. That brat said he's going to see Sakurajima Mai today and won't come to class. He skipped class yesterday and didn't show up at all; it seems he went to see that idol Hoshino Ai's concert. Today, when I contacted him, he even refused as if it were a matter of course. Disrespecting teachers, this kind of student must be disciplined, must be given the iron fist sanction."

A female teacher with a gentle appearance and shoulder-length chestnut hair showed a faint, helpless smile. She walked a few steps closer and explained,

"It's normal for boys of this age to like big stars."

"But it can't affect his studies. He's already skipping class now. He came to study abroad at our Sobu High, not to play around!"

Tachibana Hina knew this was a manifestation of the sense of responsibility of the teacher in front of her. If she didn't have the sense of responsibility of a teacher, she could completely ignore it, and then he could be expelled for consecutive tardiness and truancy.

"Hina, you just graduated and became a teacher, you don't understand. This kind of student must never be forgiven. You absolutely must make him understand the dignity of a teacher and the importance of academics from the very beginning, otherwise, he will really be ruined in the future."

"I've learned a lot, Teacher Hiratsuka,"

Tachibana Hina said earnestly.

"Hmm."

"Senior Hiratsuka, why don't I contact him?"

"That's fine too."

Hiratsuka Shizuka handed her phone to Tachibana Hina.

Tachibana Hina selected the most recent dialed number. Soon, accompanied by a series of prompt tones, the call was connected.

"Hello, Student Lin Ye, I am..."

"Teacher, I have something very important to tell you."

Tachibana Hina looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in confusion. After Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, she replied,

"Go ahead,"

"I... seem to have amnesia."

Tachibana Hina: ???

Hiratsuka Shizuka: ???

This guy is even playing the amnesia card?

Wanting to rely on amnesia to shirk responsibility? Are you kidding me?

This is absolutely impossible!
