felt a delay between his thinking and his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discomfort lasted until the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when working at the coffee shop, because of this situation, he made some very basic mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he got used to it later, and it wasn't a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, the strange feeling of his body \"delaying\" was still continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid that until he gets the next attribute point, this uncomfortable dislocation will continue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many things happened, Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't intend to tell Ruri about them, just smiled and rubbed her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing special, everything is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is one thing I want to tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Ruri looked up at him curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chijin smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Oden shop I bought for you just now is pretty good, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't seem far from our house, about a ten-minute walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we go eat together next time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruri nodded happily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The TV screen continued to flicker with the light and shadow of the comedy show, and the sound echoed low in the small space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked down at his sister in his arms and found that her chest was rising and falling rhythmically, her breathing was steady and long, and her eyes were gently closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without knowing when, she had already fallen asleep quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully lifted Natsume Ruri, gently laid her flat on the tatami mat, then tiptoed to turn off the TV and moved the small table in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this cramped three-mat room, if you didn't move this table, there was no way to lay out the bedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After moving the table to the corner, Xia Xia Xia Mujun took the bedding out of the closet and laid it out quietly on the tatami mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all this, he gently picked up his sister horizontally, placed her on the laid-out bedding, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the light went out, the narrow three-mat room fell completely into darkness and silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun groped his way back to his own spot by the faint light from the window and lay down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the window was open and the night breeze sent in a hint of coolness, he looked at the low ceiling, and a feeling of indescribable suffocation still welled up in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This three-mat space was really too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this tiny place, it squeezed in a kitchen, a bathroom, a storage cabinet, and it was forced to stack various appliances, daily necessities, and hung clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These alone already occupied most of the space in the small room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that the two siblings were always frugal, always tidying up, and trying their best to simplify their items, this three-mat room would probably be difficult even to stand in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this three-mat room was small and the rent wasn't cheap, in a place like Shibuya where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, they didn't have many choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their family went bankrupt, the two siblings were almost penniless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to find such a place to stay in Shibuya was already a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn't even rent this cheap three-mat room at the time, they would probably really be homeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the rent for next month still had no source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun's wallet at the moment only had about 20,000 yen left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the monthly rent for this small room was 60,000 yen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To raise it, he would have to wait until the coffee shop's salary came down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he barely managed to raise the rent, daily expenses like food, clothing, and transportation would fall into a predicament...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the novel he was writing hadn't been completed yet; even after writing it, it would still need to go through typesetting, printing, listing, and other processes, and whether he could get the manuscript fee quickly next month depended entirely on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that if he didn't win at least three consecutive games in the \"Newcomer Shogi Tournament,\" even if he didn't end up sleeping on the street next month, he was destined to live in hunger and be strapped for cash everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he must win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his Spirit attribute had now increased to 6 points, and his current thinking speed was far from what it was at 5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would undoubtedly be helpful for playing Shogi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had full confidence that if he played against himself from not long ago, he would definitely win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in Shogi, the gap between a player who can calculate ten steps ahead and one who can calculate twenty steps ahead is like heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of calculation grows geometrically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more one can plan ahead, the greater the chance of winning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the essential difference between professional players, amateur players, and trainee players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their amount of calculation is simply not on the same level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xia Xia Xia Mujun's current computing power in Shogi is simply not comparable to his former self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the problem he is facing now is far more than just the 'money' aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imbalance between his Spirit attribute and Physique attribute is the trickiest situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must collect three pieces of special equipment in a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it really comes to a critical moment, Xia Xia Xia Mujun will never care about face or dignity, and will definitely demand his sister to hand over the bracelet to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other special equipment, he will also get his hands on them by any means necessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the situation has not reached the end of his rope, it's just that his body has some delayed discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if this situation continues, the consequences are unpredictable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Xia Xia Xia Mujun decided to be more proactive in the near future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try to get at least three of the five items: his sister's bracelet, Yukimura Suzune's literary trinket, Kondo Miyuki's collector's fighting magazine, Fujiwara Aoi's sports watch, and Tsukishima Rin's violin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that confession cherry blossom tree, he can only give it up for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current situation, he has no way to make it his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun remembered that Senior Yasui Ryoto had mentioned that if he found that chessboard, he would definitely bring it to school to return it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sincerely hoped that the chessboard would be a piece of special equipment like the previous chess manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, the pressure of collecting three pieces of special equipment in the short term would be greatly relieved, directly reducing one requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would only need to get two more from the above list!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was deep and quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun, however, had no sleepiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to continue working hard on his writing before sleepiness struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the potential earnings of the novel he was currently creating, \"The Devotion of Suspect X,\" were far from what a part-time job or the prize money of a Shogi tournament could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a masterpiece that, once completed, could bring in over 100 million in income!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he had been really busy lately, and coupled with the fact that this novel was not short, even if he invested a lot of time, it would take at least this week to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, he had already written about 80,000 words of \"The Devotion of Suspect X.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still 70,000 words short of the 150,000 words needed for completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he could finish it in two or three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he could immediately take it for submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clarifying his follow-up plans and current tasks, Xia Xia Xia Mujun took out his phone to prepare for writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as he lit up the screen, the LINE notification showed unread messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked to check curiously and found messages from Saionji Nanase and Sakai Shion, so he decided to reply first before starting to write.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that Saionji Nanase's message was sent around ten o'clock at night, he clicked on the chat box with her first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Saionji Nanase: Good evening, Xia Xia Xia Mujun.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Good evening, is there something wrong?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his reply was a bit late and thought the other party might have already gone to sleep and would have to wait until tomorrow to receive a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the message status changed to \"Read\" almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japan's LINE is quite similar to domestic WeChat and QQ in most functions.\u003C\u002Fp>",1479,"2026-06-15T06:10:17.270Z","2026-06-15T07:45:38.736Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
