Chapter 5

She didn't write her full name.

Without telling someone her real name.

She rashly invited the other party to meet on the rooftop.

Are Japanese teenage girls this reckless nowadays?

Furthermore.

Why does Japanese anime always like to call people to the rooftop?

Is it for the convenience of dying together in a fit of rage after being rejected?

Perhaps it is a conventional cultural practice.

Just like if a Japanese girl hasn't integrated into a small group.

She will choose to go to the restroom during lunch.

The restroom is the sanctuary for loners to eat lunch.

“Respect the culture of other countries!”

Hoshino Ki nodded.

He lowered his head to check his watch.

o'clock.

It was still early.

It wouldn't delay his simulation tonight.

This love letter could not be thrown away casually.

The culprit who killed Hoshino Ki might have a connection to this girl.

Like one of the girl's admirers.

A crime of passion.

He clutched the letter in his hand.

He turned and headed toward the rooftop.

“Hoshino-kun!”

“I like you!”

“I’m sorry!”

“I don't have any plans to date right now.”

The girl was not from his class.

A fresh face.

Very unfamiliar.

She was also not a character from an anime.

But it still couldn't be confirmed that she didn't have a suspicious admirer.

Asking directly seemed a bit impolite.

“I want to get into the University of Tokyo, so...”

There was someone in the corner.

It might be her admirer.

Hearing Hoshino Ki's rejection.

He might withdraw his intention to kill him.

“Is that so... Sorry!”

The girl lowered her head in disappointment.

“Is it because you have a girl you like that you’re brushing me off like this?”

The girl asked, unwilling to give up.

“No, there isn't a girl I like. I only want to study.”

“Then what about Suzuki Sonoko? You don't like her either?”

Hoshino Ki's pupils constricted!

This girl knew that Suzuki Sonoko liked Hoshino Ki.

It seemed she had already done quite a bit of investigation in private.

The suspicion was even greater.

“Suzuki-san's family is so wealthy, it’s normal for Hoshino-san to like her.”

The girl was even more disappointed.

She lowered her head.

Her hands tightly gripped the hem of her skirt.

“Sorry to bother you!”

The girl lowered her head and covered her face.

She cried as she brushed past Hoshino Ki.

She opened the door and left.

Hoshino Ki glanced toward the corner.

If the murderer who killed Hoshino Ki was an admirer of his.

Commonly known as a “simp.”

Then this murderer was also highly likely to be an admirer of Suzuki Sonoko.

Kyogoku Makoto?

It wouldn't be him.

In the anime, Kyogoku Makoto fell in love with Suzuki Sonoko at first sight.

When Mouri Ran was participating in a karate tournament.

Not to mention that Kyogoku Makoto was a righteous person who would disdain such a murderous act.

Just based on his explosive martial arts prowess.

One punch would shatter a head into pieces.

Using a blunt object to kill was completely unnecessary.

The incident was shrouded in fog.

Hoshino Ki cast a glance at the corner.

He pretended not to know.

He didn't linger.

He turned, opened the door, and walked down from the rooftop.

Once Hoshino Ki's figure disappeared.

A beautiful figure emerged from the corner.

The girl was wearing a high school uniform.

Her short skirt swayed gently in the breeze.

Vaguely revealing a glimpse of the scenery beneath the skirt.

She had a headband fixed on her forehead.

Her young, delicate face looked flustered.

It was Suzuki Sonoko herself.

“Hoshino-kun...”

Her face remained pale.

She gazed in the direction Hoshino had left.

Not knowing what she was thinking.

Hoshino Ki returned home.

He threw his schoolbag aside.

He sat on the sofa. ===== CHAPTER 256 =====

Silently thinking in his heart:

Check today's points.

[Today's point statistics: 10 points]

[Yesterday's balance: 0 points]

[0:00: System gift +5 points]

[12:00: Accepted organization mission +1 point]

[13:00—16:00: Studied seriously +2 points]

[16:30: Responded to girl's confession +1 point]

[16:40: Talked with female +1 point]

It seems that in real life.

As long as Hoshino Ki performs actions beneficial to his future development.

After system judgment.

There will be opportunities to obtain corresponding point values.

The current point value is enough for Hoshino Ki to start another simulation.

In order to ensure that tomorrow's mission doesn't go wrong.

And he won't be killed inexplicably without any preparation.

He decides to start the second simulation immediately.

"Start simulation!"

[Yes! Starting this simulation.]

[Deducting host points, remaining points: 0]

[I wish you a pleasant experience!]

[Please choose the simulation personality for this time:]

[Choice 1: Introverted and conservative: Quiet, detached, likes to be alone]

[Choice 2: Indifferent and lonely: Emotionally indifferent, lonely inside]

[Choice 3: Careful and cautious: Thoughtful, detailed, everything in sight]

[Choice 4: Honest and kind: Responsible in doing things, never shirking responsibility]

Transparent panel.

Four rows of text suddenly appeared.

It's a bit different from the personality in the first simulation.

Each personality has been adjusted.

Hoshino Ki begins to ponder.

The first personality.

Early development is too conservative and unfavorable for future development.

Exclude.

The second item.

Similar to the gloomy and indifferent personality in the first simulation.

Exclude.

The third item.

Wanting to get a chance to survive in the early stage.

Without the foundation of strong strength.

This personality might be of some use.

Just like in his past life, some people when playing mobile games.

Will choose not to face the enemy head-on.

But hide in the grass and wait for the opportunity.

When the opponent is beaten to only one drop of blood.

Suddenly jump out and kill them with one blow.

This is the benefit of "surviving."

As the saying goes:

Better safe than sorry.

As for the fourth item.

Always feels like it will be a personality that endures for a long time and lets people take advantage.

Nothing to consider.

Exclude!

Choose careful and cautious.

Hoshino Ki doesn't hesitate at all.

Chooses the third option of careful and cautious.

In the Conan world.

Wanting to save his life.

In the early stage of life development.

Whether it is being a person or doing things.

Being careful and cautious is the true way to save his life.

Exposing his cards with great fanfare.

Easily attracts the attention and framing of others.

For the plot of this simulation.

He is looking forward to it.

[Choice confirmed: Third item: Careful and cautious personality]

[Morning, you open your eyes, and a cunning look flashes in your eyes.]

"?"

Hoshino Ki is crit-hit by the opening "cunning."

"Careful and cautious," is it actually a derogatory term?

[You pick up the phone by the bed and dial the police station.]

[The content of the police report is to report Mouri Ran for damaging public property and then fleeing.]

"?"

"So bad?!"

"But, it fits common sense."

As a Japanese citizen.

Seeing public property being damaged.

Indeed, one has the obligation to report it.

Hoshino Ki nods.

Taps his finger to continue the simulation.
