"What are you doing now?"
"Playing with the universes, nothing important."
"Don't be silly! Leave the universes. The last time you touched that you gave a witch the power to destroy half of her world."
"But I ended up solving it."
"You didn't even interfere!"
"Well, we both know that we can't physically get into worlds. What did expect me to do?"
"Uhm, I don't know, give any of that universe more power to stop the witch?"
"... Oh why didn't I think of it earlier?"
"It's easy. I wasn't here that day! Just drop that, we already have enough trouble with god since our last failure to make different species evolve."
"Come on, I'm not doing anything, I'm just watching."
"Yeah, but just thinking, * I wish such a thing had happened *, it ends up happening. So stop that as soon as possible."
"How little esteem you have for me."
"Stop spinning the sphere!"
"Okay, I just wanted to have a little fun in this totally empty space ... Really, sometimes I wish things were like a simple game. You know, reload the game and repair your mistakes or even try different routes and paths ... Why everything looks brighter? "
"Hate you."
"Don't worry, it was a simple thought! I don't think it caused much trouble, it would have been different if I thought about-"
"RELEASE THE FUCKING SPHERE!"
"I so sorry! ... Don't worry dude, I'll fix this. Just don't tell God, I'm sure he'll take away my position."
"No! Don't get me into your problems, I don't have to work with you today, so I'm blameless. No deal."
"Ugh, at least don't tell him until he asks!"
"… Well, fix that as soon as possible."
"Trust me!"
"That makes you less trustworthy."
"Thanks! Okay, where did I send my wish? ... Great, I lost the planet and the universe. Well, I have to search one by one."

* PiPiiPiPiiii-PiPiiPiPiiii-PiPiiPiPiiii… *
The noise of an alarm clock could be heard in a simple room. Inside the bedroom there is already a young boy, who is moving in annoyance at the noise.
The room is very normal. It has two beds on the floor, one is armed and in the other is the young man. The walls are somewhat battered and are lime green, there are various papers in various parts of the room, but the bedroom is not dirty.
"Aaaaaahhh~…"
He yawned in satisfaction and then scratched his head a little. The next moment the boy turned off the alarm on his phone with his eyes closed.
The man seems to be a young student with black hair, his hair has two straight ends that look like leaves and his fractions are delicate, I don't think he performs exercises.
"That dream again, it always ends before I can see my girlfriend's face, it's somewhat disappointing."
He laughs a little and then rubs his eyes with both hands.
"It's still a dream anyway… What is it ..?"
The young man looked ahead, raised an eyebrow and turned to rub his eyes.
"I still sleep?"
" Nice to meet you and welcome to the hyper-realistic dating simulator 2017. You are very fortunate to have the opportunity to try the emulator. Let's get to know each other better, what's your name?"
In front of the man that message appeared, it was difficult for him to read it since it is transparent, but after a while he understood it.
The young man just scratched his eyes again and got out of bed.
"It's obvious…"
The young man expected the message to disappear, but no matter where he looked, the screen followed.
" Sir, I know you are confused, but I would like to establish a minimal relationship to explain some important points to you. What is your name?"
The screen changed content and the man grabbed his clothes, which appear to be schoolchildren, then put them on his bed.
The boy, while putting on a white shirt, noticed the change of the screen in front of him.
"I don't know what kind of person would make a joke like this or if I'm still sleeping. But I'm sure of one thing, I won't miss breakfast just to talk to a screen or for talk to myself. I guess not socializing has its disadvantages. "
The young man shook his head and finished changing.
"You could disappear!"
A sound caught the boy's attention. He concentrated and looked at the screen.
" I understand your rejection, it is justified. However, I need to explain about the simulation, after that you can decide whether to continue with the simulation or reject it."
"Can't I do it now?"
He heard the sound again, it resembles a slight beep.
" How strange, surely that sound is to warn me that the text has changed, since it is transparent and can be ignored."
+1 micro intellect point.
" As much as I want, I cannot ignore or invent my own laws, we must follow the rules, sir. Yes, I noticed your difficulty and decided to facilitate your work."
He read the screen, but also looked like a child at a Christmas present, the words * + 1 intellect point * rolled through his head.
The young man sat on the bed and crossed his arms looking at the screen.
"Okay, tell me what you should tell me and make it quick."
" I need your name first sir."
He glanced at the screen irritably.
"Uesugi Fuutarou. I'm seventeen years old, don't call me sir."
" I apologize boy."
" That doesn't make it any better."
" I apologize young man."
"¿¡wh!?"
" You can call me whatever you want or else you can tell me * Artificial Intelligence *, more abbreviated IA, I suggest you call me that way."
The young man named Fuutarou scratched his head in confusion.
" If I answer you this way ..."
The screen content changed after a brief moment.
" It is quite obvious to think that I am connected to your neural system. Reading your mind is possible because of that. In any case let me explain the simulation in a concise way."
Fuutarou sat on his bed and just waited a bit.
" This simulation consists of helping him to have possible romantic relationships with differe-"
"I've heard enough. I reject the simulation."
" Young Fuutarou, I beg you to let me finish."
"The moment you said relationships I already disliked it, but when you said romantic relationships, I made up my mind. I don't want to pretend anything."
" Even if it means losing the possibility of being smarter, sportier, more sociable and earn more money?"
Uesugi read the question several times and then pointed at the screen.
"The only thing that matters to me is the first and the last; but the other can be descarted ... Finish what you wanted to tell me."
" As you wish. As I already explained, you can have romantic and non-romantic relationships, although it is up to your free will to have those relationships-"
The young man smiled a little at the latter.
" You can also increase your other attributes, in time you will be able to be all in one."
Fuutarou narrowed his eyes a little and spoke.
"You mean I can be smart, fit, and sociable?"
" Exactly."
"Sounds hard to believe."
" Obviously, if you dedicate yourself to studying, your intelligence will increase faster than normal, the same for the rest. With the difference that none of your attributes will ever be degraded."
The boy opened his eyes and shook his head.
"No, that is physically impossible."
" Is what you are doing now possible?"
"Tsk, you little-"
"I would appreciate the mutual respect."
"Obviously I will not disrespect you, I know you can read my mind ... I had completely forgotten."
" To sum it up. You can have it all and I will help you on the journey, giving you different answers for each situation. Your choices will decide the path you take."
Uesugi got ready to ask something, but the screen changed to something smaller and after trying a bit he was able to read two frames, one on the right-
" Accept "
And the other on the left.
" Reject "
He revealed his confusion and sighed to calm himself.
"I can choose which way to go, but you give different options and I can only choose one of those, right? ... However, that my attributes do not degraded sounds very difficult to believe, but ..."
The young man is opening and closing his mouth, he also looks at the ground for help.
"Well, I accept."
He waited and waited ...
"I accept ... How many times do I have to repeat it? I accept!"
However, the screen does not change.
"Hey, are you there, you-!"
He tried to hit the * accept * button and disappeared.
Fuutarou stared at the wall.
"Well, what a waste of time."
He got up and went to the door, the sound of a beep stopping him from grabbing the doorknob.
" CONGRATULATIONS! Let's work together to reach the brightest future. Fuutarou Uesugi, I wish you luck!"
"Because it took you so long to put that in. You do not know how to write?"
"Brother?"
Fuutarou looked down and the screen was still there. The screen is transparent, but that does not mean that it's nice.
"Disappear at once."
" Young Fuutarou, you just need to think about it and I will."
Uesugi has a clear path for his eyes.
He saw a small, thin girl. Her eyes, like Fuutarou, are yellowish gold, her hair is black with a butterfly-shaped ribbon to form an Ahoge hairstyle.
His clothes are simple, a short-sleeved white shirt with stripes. On top of the shirt she wears a blue farmer outfit, his * pants * are patched up to the middle of his tibia. As footwear, her is wearing orange slippers.
The adorable little girl opened the door and with a confused look.
"Raiha, don't worry, I'm just reading."
Fuutarou responded calmly and unimportant to the strange situation.
The girl left his side.
"Hello? Do I speak to the hundred and nineteen? ... my brother went crazy, isn't there a free psychiatrist?"
Fuutarou ran to the kitchen.
"Raiha hang up that phone!"
She covered the speaker on the landline to speak to her brother.
"But you're a little crazy."
She said it with a sweet and adorable smile.
" I have to be offended, but I can't be offended ..."
" Do you want me to erase your emotions?"
"¡No!"
Raiha looked at him doubtfully.
"Who are you talking to?"
"… With the book?"
"..."
"Don't tell the old man."
…
…
…
"Brother, you are acting weirder than normal."
"Thank you for raising my self esteem."
Fuutarou's sister is washing dishes and older Uesugi is reading a notepad on the kitchen table.
"I'm serious, we were eating and it seemed like you were reading something. Although, seeing that you haven't touched some of your books on the table is already weird."
" You can't make yourself visible to my sister, I want to spare myself the explanations."
" Impossible, my connection to you is neural, I can't be visible to anyone else."
" Yes, but I can't tell her that I'm talking to a book that appears out of nowhere, the chances of her believing me are almost nil."
"You are very observant and calculating young Fuutarou, although it does not surprise me, his IQ is 134 points."
"That's twenty times better than average!"
"Brother, really, you're worrying me a lot ..."
The man looked at his little sister and could see that her eyes were about to shed tears.
He gulped.
"Raiha don't worry, maybe I'll explain another day, now I have to go. Don't cry, I'm fine."
She breathed in and out, then nodded, but said nothing.
" I see, losing her brother scares her a lot, normal. I have to get used to talking to you in my thoughts."
" I completely agree. Let's talk on the way to school to practice the custom."
Fuutarou nodded at the idea and then looked at his sister.
"Don't worry Raiha, I'll make all your problems go away."
She smiled a little and told him.
"You know, the liver can regenerate, even losing more than fifty percent of the organ. Brother, you can sell your liver."
"... Who teaches you those things?
…
…
…
" So, you will give me five possible options and one of them will be to keep quiet most of the time."
" Yes, it is a simple, but effective way to get a favorable answer."
The noises of cars and buses could be heard in the street. The young man is on his way to school and had a little chat with the AI
He had a hard time reading the words, especially in daylight. However, he thinks that it is a good exercise to continue reading without having to stop paying attention to his surroundings.
A double prize.
" Can't two or three options be better? Five forces you to think more and can disconnect you from other options."
" You will understand very soon."
" What's wrong with telling me now?"
"It would ruin the surprise, besides, I can't give you information until the situation is discovered or warranted."
" Will it be five because I have a lot of intelligence and can think of more possibilities in a short time?"
" That theory is very well structured and seems sensible, but no."
"Is it five times the number of fingers, is each finger a choice?"
" I will not give you the answer young Fuutarou and you are wrong. I would like to remind him that you are not thinking, you are speaking out loud."
" Ugh, alright… we're here."
Uesugi saw some stairs leading up to the entrance of the school.
The school covers the entire block, is grayish-white in color and has more than a hundred windows. Before entering the school there are several trees and bushes. Everything is neat and clean.
You'd think it's a private school for the rich, but it's the opposite.
" The school you attend is wonderful, young Fuutarou."
He smiled and took a few seconds to observe his school.
"Could be better."
" How would you improve it?"
"I would eliminate the sports area and the physical education subject, everyone would be happy."
" I don't know how good your ideology is, young Fuutarou."
The young student was about to go upstairs-
*Pam…*
-But he heard the noise of a body hitting the ground. He looked behind him and observed another student, he is getting up and rubbing his left knee.
It seems that it fell, the folder and sheets on the floor confirm it.
The students next to him looked at him and continued on.
He will do the same.
" IA, I can't turn my body, I-what is this !?"
For the last thing he wanted to scream, but his mouth did not move.
" I stopped time, I need to give you information. You see the student who fell, do you notice anything strange about him?"
Fuutarou finished reading the screen and then carefully looked at the young man who stumbled.
" It looks like it has some kind of green aura."
" They are missions, the auras represent missions. There are four types of auras: green are very easy, dark green are easy, yellow difficult and red very difficult."
Fuutarou tried to scratch his chin, but couldn't.
" And how does that affect me?"
" The missions will give you different attributes or money; but it can also give you various things."
" Among those is intelligence."
" You are confirming it, you are not asking and I confirm it. This mission increases your social status."
" What good is social to me? Just let me go, classes start in five minutes."
" The higher the social stat, the greater the probability of getting better missions and favors. The time stopped, classes start in ten minutes."
"... Uhm, improve the reward, that means I will have more missions to choose from, which means more missions to increase my intelligence."
+1 micro points of intellect.
That notification appeared again in the corner of Fuutarou's vision and he smiled inwardly.
" A precise and exact observation. Time will return to normal, make your choice."
Uesugi finished reading and saw how everything returned to mobilize, he looked at the student gathering he tools for a few seconds..
That student watched as one of his tools were taken, then saw some legs flex and looked at the intruder's face.
"Do I help you."
The young student was a bit impressed.
"¿Uesugi-San?"
"Yes, it's me."
The boy just nodded and looked totally surprised.
Not only him, some students looked at the scene and got confused.
…
The young book eater was bringing a last leaf that was in the bushes.
"This is the last one, if I'm not mistaken."
"Thank you Uesugi-san."
The student bowed slightly in respect and headed to class.
" Well that took me about three minutes."
+1 micro points in social.
+1 affection point in ?
Fuutarou observed that and nodded to himself.
" It's true I didn't get that boy's name. I guess that explains the *question* sign."
He looked at his surroundings and noticed the gaze of some people at his strange attitude.
" I won't do these missions anymore. I thought it would leave me money."
Fuutarou Uesugi went inside the school.
...
...
...
"Here you have."
"What about that guy?"
" Pff, people are too stupid. Ordering the Yakiniku, without the Yakiniku will bring you rice, miso soup and fresh fruit for dessert. All for 200 ¥!"
The young Uesugi walks calmly like every day through the cafeteria. It is very spacious and the number of tables is amazing. Surely more than a hundred students walk through this beautiful place.
" The school canteen is the best, it has all the water you can drink without paying a penny! Who doesn't-?"
"Come on, hurry up!"
* Pum-Splash… *
"Ah, my fault."
Fuutarou Uesugi smiled sadly and helplessly after being pushed while drinking some water. If you wonder, yes, they dumped the water on his clothes.
" The school canteen sucks."
He continued on his way without looking at anyone and used his sleeves to wipe his face. The poor boy looks for his precious and lonely table to eat.
However, he did not prevent his ears from hearing the murmurs of the people.
"Uesugi-San is alone again."
"It can't be ~."
"I heard that he helped a student."
"If I saw it today, let me tell you it was a strange sight."
Fuutarou shook his head and gave a small smile.
"It seems they don't hold you in high esteem young Fuutarou."
" Not that I care. Loneliness is the best there is, I don't need to bother others and I have all the time to myself."
" If you increase your social statistics, people will take you into account, you could even have a good group of friends. I have several statistics that inform you what you will achieve by raising the * social points *. The vast majority are positive."
Fuutarou looked at him favorite table only two meters away.
" I'll read it later, now I want to review for the practical English work."
*Pam-KA-*
The noise of metal on metal made Uesugi look down. Someone's tray against his left him confused.
He looked to his right and a woman was staring back at him.
She has orange / reddish hair that reaches to the middle of her back, two star-shaped hairpins near her eyes, the latter are dark blue.
Her clothes consist of a blue-black school uniform, but she does not look like the other girls. She has a green skirt that reaches to the middle of her thighs.
In short, she is beautiful.
It is more than obvious to say that our young student fell captivated by such-
" Who is this? That uniform isn't from our school… Well, whatever."
He began to unstuck the chair from the table to sit down.
"Hey."
Fuutarou looked at the girl curiously, she was looking at him seriously and wasted no time talking to him.
"I got here first."
She pointed to another seat.
"That seat over there is empty, so…"
Uesugi looked bored at the student and she watched him for a few moments, then the girl smiled a little.
"You are that kind boy."
"What?"
"I saw you helping that boy this morning."
"*Kind*, really, who is this girl?"
"It seems that you made a good impression, some people do not get carried away by the social and only judge by actions or their points of view. This is one of these cases."
"I made a good impression… She's the one who raised his affection points!"
+1 micro intellect point.
"This is easy, I'll be very smart in no time! ... What are affection points?"
"Hey, do I have something on my face?"
Fuutarou came back to reality and saw the student blink a few times and she took a step back.
When he opened his mouth everything went into slow motion. He watched people's mouths move slowly, some birds flying outside the window, the screams and murmurs were heard very low and muffled.
" This is amazing."
" Glad you like one of my little tricks. Look in front of you."
Fuutarou followed the AI's orders and looked at something familiar.
" Those option boxes again. Now there is some text above."
" Do I have something on my face? "
A-)… I'm Fuutarou.
B-) Just your beautiful face (sit down).
C-) I'm sorry (Move away).
D-) (Take your notepad and sit down).
E-) …
" Just this once, you'll have as much time as you want to think. Most of the time the time will unfreeze at twenty seconds and a random option will be chosen. Sometimes these events will be in real time, so stay tuned. "
" Well, let's see ... Option *A* will only take me to conversation topics, so it's a no. Option *B* seems like a very classic compliment. But why do it? That option is out of the picture. The *C* It would imply leaving. This is my place! The *D* seems correct, I hope she understands my desire to be with her. The last one either, staying quiet all the time is going to seem very strange, even to me. "
"The *D* will be"
Everything returned to normal and Fuutarou closed his mouth, finished pulling the chair apart and sat down, then took out his notebook.
"That's cruel!"
The woman looked at this attitude with very bad taste and pouted.
" I can't control my body."
Uesugi kept ignoring her, waiting for her to leave. He finally managed to control himself and stopped looking at the book to clarify his intentions.
She won the word again.
"I'am Itsuki Nakano."
This time time slowed down, but to a greater extent. Fuutarou saw several strange things.
" Why do you brake in a pose that suits you?"
Just passed a gust of wind and the student's hair rose, her eyes are open in a friendly way and she makes a somewhat annoyed face; but sweet. She has one hand shaking her hair and the other on her waist, the name * Itsuki Nakano * can be read above her head.
" This is beyond me, it's silly."
Uesugi read a few words on the sides of her.
Hobby: Eating.
Personality: Serious and headstrong.
17 years old.
What she Dislikes: Getting noticed for eating so much.
Likes: Be gentle with her and listen to her.
He finished reading and everything returned to normal.
" I didn't know there was a hobby about eating. Why did she give me her name in the first place? Oh right, she has a different view since she saw me help someone."
+1 micro intellect point.
" Oh Yeah ... Does every time I guess something give me intelligence?"
" As long as it is not obvious and you do not have enough evidence, it increases the micro points of intellect to predict. However, it only works in some people, not in all."
Uesugi widened his eyes and looked at the girl who blushed at the intense gaze.
He wasted no time.
"Sorry, it was rude of me, I'm Uesugi Fuutarou."
" Something tells me that you are going to take advantage of this poor young lady."
"It's not taking advantage if she doesn't realize it."
Itsuki's eyes and mouth widened slightly at the change in attitude. She spoke to him-
"A pleasure."
And they both shook hands.
Fuutarou released her and then blinked.
" Now what do I do?"
" Think, I'll help you on the next one."
Fuutarou thought for a moment and noticed something important.
"There are no free places, right. Sit down and eat quietly, you don't bother me."
+1 micro intellect point.
" A very good move, you are acting kindly and you remembered the situation that brought you here. My sincere respect, young Fuutarou."
The girl stared at the vacant spot and then shook her head slightly and smiled.
+1 Affection Point on Itsuki.
"Okay, I'll sit down."
" Yes, my free intelligence points will not escape me!"
She moved the chair and sat down. Then Itsuki tried to start a topic of conversation.
"I've been walking around the school from early in the morning, my legs are killing me."
Fuutarou looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
" She's from another school, sure-"
"Uesugi-Kun is eating with a girl."
"N-It can't be."
"First he helps someone and now he invites a girl to eat. I don't know him."
It didn't take long for the gossip to spread, and he got a little upset.
"Tsk… those idiots… Just ignore them."
The young man can't help but feel a bit sorry for Itsuki, she's red as a tomato.
"I-Okay, thanks for the food."
Bringing both arms together she thanked her and began to eat.
" I'm going to go over the exam topics before practice work and -Almost 1000 ¥ for a meal! Are you a celebrity !? Well, at least I know the AI wasn't kidding about her hobby."
"Uhm, that's disrespectful of you."
Fuutarou raised an eyebrow at this.
"I'm not doing anything wrong."
"Studying while you eat is bad manners."
"Ninomiya Kinjirou studied while working, I don't see the problem."
"This is different."
"She has a somewhat annoyed face, but his voice sounds friendly, then they tell me weird ... I'm just reviewing the subjects they will take in an exam, this habit is old and it will not change anytime soon."
Itsuki grimaces and smiles mischievously.
"Old custom, you're desperate aren't you? Permission."
"Give me my test back!"
"I'm just a little curious, since Uesugi-Kun scored… a hundred points."
"AAAAH, THIS IS SO SHAME!"
Itsuki made a tender pout accompanied by red cheeks with embarrassment.
"Agh, you did it on purpose!"
Fuutarou smiled innocently and spoke to her as if he were an innocent child.
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
Nakano erased his pout and laughed a little at Uesugi's attitude. She touched her shoulder.
"You know, it's frustrating and even enviable, I'm not good at studying ..."
Applause reached Fuutarou's ears.
"Sure, this must be the work of fate."
She brought both palms together and looked at Uesugi with eyes full of life.
"Please teach me."
"Thanks for the food."
"That was very cutting!"
"I do not see the problem."
"You have a hard time seeing the problems!"
Fuutarou stared at Itsuki in boredom.
" I couldn't predict what she was going to say, I lost intellect points. You're going to give me at least one more point."
" It's normal that you haven't guessed what she was going to tell you. What person would ask for an autograph just because they're good at studying?"
"I would."
Itsuki clasped his palms again and spoke to the young boy.
"I-really, I'm not good at my studies, I-I tried many times… And it never went well, maybe with a little help, you…"
" She's pushing herself too hard. I guess she would never do something like this, but she has no other choice, she must be tired of failing so many times."
+1 micro intellect point.
" God, I'm good. Options, let's see."
" Maybe with a little help, you ... "
A-) No.
B-) No, thank you.
C-) Yes, only in your wettest dreams.
D-)… I don't know.
E-) …
" Wow, the vast majority are good opinions, except for *C*, why would I say that?"
" The options are made by your subconscious."
" That explains it, they are things that I would say in a past time. Anyway, * A and B * are good options, * D * leaves open to more dialogue and * E * maybe she gets uncomfortable or takes confidence to finish to tell me why she want me to teach her… It's decided. "
"Sincerely."
Itsuki looked at his tablemate expectantly. He continued.
"…Do not know."
Itsuki made a worried face and spoke with some uncertainty.
"C-Come on, just teach me an hour or two, I'm not asking for much. At least help me understand the theory and the basics, I need your help."
+1 micro intellect point.
" I knew it, more dialogue, she did not give up trying to persuade me to accept. I would like to end this talk and think clearly about helping her ... Sure."
Fuutarou got up and grabbed her empty food tray. Itsuki was about to get up, but Fuutarou motioned for her to stop, then he spoke calmly to her.
"I'll think about it, I'll give you the answer later."
Itsuki nodded his head and smiled a little.
"Alright, Uesugi-Kun."
* Rinnnngggg-Rinnnnngggg… *
The young student looked at his pocket and took out his cell phone.
...
"Yes, I already met her a few minutes ago, her name is Itsuki."
An empty place, Fuutarou Uesugi is sitting on a toilet and someone is on the other end of the phone line.
" Really! Good job bro, I was worried for a moment, you know, I was looking at the possibility of selling a kidney. "
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING!"
The shriek of a frightened man could be heard behind the door.
" Easy brother, I kidding, I won't give up my kidney. "
"… Your kidney and mine."
" In any case I wish you luck brother, I'll wait for you at home, I'll have the food ready. "
"Raiha What about my kidney? ... Raiha? ... She cut the call."
" Do I prepare an escape plan?"
" Not for now, if I don't get the job there we'll think of something."
...
...
...
It is the last recess of the day and the students are enjoying the last of the school day.
Itsuki gets up from his seat to look for something to do, but a young man with black hair is in front of him.
"I thought about it and yes. I agree to teach you."
She was analyzing the information for a few seconds and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you really, thank you."
+1 Affection Point on Itsuki.
+1 micro point in social.
"Nakano-san, see you in the library after school."
She nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, that's fine with me."
" Did she take it as a question? Well, she agreed anyway."
They both left the classroom and went their different ways.
" Young Fuutarou, you should take advantage of this break to increase your other stats."
" What for? I already have my intelligence generating machine."
" The other attributes are very important, plus some quests can increase your intellect."
" No, I'll just go to the library to find some books."
" I can't do anything to stop it Young Fuutarou."
...
"I lack one of English and I have everything covered for practical work. This day is one of the best."
" If we recap, you made a breakthrough. You even made a possible romantic relationship, I'm excited, this is what I was created for."
" You mean to make people fall in love?"
" No, not in love, I was created to see them grow up. Young Fuutarou love is something so-"
" So waste of time, love will distract you from your duties and then you will end up regretting it."
" I cannot take it as something uncertain, but I can say that this is only the negative… to your right there is a mission."
Fuutarou stopped looking at one of the history books, he is reading the page where it says the topics of the book.
In this fairly decent room, filled with shelves with books and a few tables for quiet study, a young man can be seen.
He has the same school outfit as Fuutarou's, he wears red-rimmed glasses and has brown skin. He doesn't seem to be taller than Fuutarou.
With the little observation he could see that he is reading a literature book.
" A green aura, very easy mission."
" It's a good opportunity to-"
"It's not my problem."
" Too bad, I thought you'd be more open since you helped that other student."
Fuutarou smiled and grabbed an English book.
"I found it."
Then he stacked that book with two others, he headed towards the library manager.
" In the first, I helped him out of curiosity, in the second, I thought he would give me money and in the third, the only thing I got is that others treat me like a weirder than normal."
" It makes sense if you look at it from your perspective. However, we are in a library, the chances that these tasks will increase your intelligence are greater."
Fuutarou took a deep breath and turned around.
" I have no problem for giving a hand."
" You are worse than Judas."
...
"Yes, that way you will have a better understanding."
"So, read the confusing parts, write them down and try to understand and relate them."
"Well, don't forget to write everything by hand either. Writing it by hand will make it easier for your brain to remember it."
"I assure you I won't forget about that, thanks for the help Uesugi-san!"
"It was nothing to write home about."
With Fuutarou's last words, the brown-skinned boy greeted Uesugi and left. Soon only Fuutarou and the librarian remained.
The young protagonist took out his cell phone and turned it on.
"3:57 PM, I still have three minutes left."
+1 micro intellect point.
+1 micro point in social.
"Who would say, you were right."
" It was a stroke of luck, easy missions don't usually give two rewards."
" Good to know. Now I'll borrow the books and we're off right now."
Fuutarou made his usual tour of the library, looking for the books, borrowing them for a day and reading them in one night.
When he left the library he put the books in his backpack and continued walking. Soon, a question came to light.
" I haven't asked you yet, what do you mean by * Micro Points *?"
" The micro points are used to increase the points of the attributes. For example, you have two micro points in social and you need ten in total to obtain a point in social. Did you understand young Fuutarou?"
" I get an idea. The micro points are useless and do not affect anything, the ones that do affect are the points."
" Exactly, and you get one point for every certain amount of micro points."
" Yes, that's better."
*¡Riiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggg! ...*
"I'm late for class!"
...
...
...
"You're late."
"Sorry Uesugi-Kun! My family needs to know where I am."
" Well, considering she's female it makes sense that her parents did that… Hey, give me my micro point."
Fuutarou, after complaining to who knows, sat down in one of the many chairs in the library, with Itsuki in front of him.
"How was your day Uesugi-Kun?"
"¿Eh?"
He was not expecting a personal question. The young man tried to answer her anyway.
"The same as always, studying."
Itsuki's eyes widened a bit, but a somewhat fake smile was noticed.
"It gives me something of an impression to know that having such good grades you spend your rest hours studying."
"You get used to it over time Nakano-San."
"Yes, I don't want to be like you."
"What are you talking about, there's nothing wrong with being like me."
She leaned a little towards the young man's direction, Nakano smiled sincerely.
"Seriously, what do you do in your spare time."
"Be serious? I already said it, study."
Itsuki sat up properly again and his smile faded.
"Don't you do something else?"
"No, why would I do it?"
Fuutarou looked without a hint of grace at the student.
She looked with some regret and said.
"… Let's take advantage of our study time."
"That's what I wanted to hear, let's start with math."
" I am an AI, but this is embarrassing, even for me."
" Shut up."
...
"I still don't understand where the square root goes."
"This is the fourth time I've explained it to you. I didn't think you were that stupid."
"I didn't think you were so impatient!"
Itsuki and Uesugi are having a little argument and a lady is approaching them.
Fuutarou kept talking.
"It's not normal that I have to explain each exercise five times!"
"You don't have patience for me and you keep making fun of me!"
"Boys ..."
Both young men looked at a woman in her fifties, her tired and dangerous look was enough to make them both shut up.
The librarian took off her glasses and told them.
"For the twelfth time, be quiet. However, we are closing now, put your things away and go home."
"¡YES!"
The older woman sighed helplessly for the young men.
Fuutarou and Nakano hurried to put their things away and stormed out of the library.
There was silence between them and they left the school.
"…"
"…Pff"
Itsuki puffed out his cheeks holding back laughter, but soon it was a laugh of pure happiness.
"Y-Your face Uesugi, YOUR FACE!"
Itsuki was tempted to laugh and began to hug his stomach.
Fuutarou tried to stay serious, but his efforts were useless, that laugh was too contagious.
"You f-it seemed like your heart was leaking out of your mouth!"
He giggled a bit at the contagious laughter and they both just laughed.
They stopped after a few seconds and an Itsuki wiping her tears. They both looked at each other, one with a smile and the other with a grimace of comfort.
Nakano was the first to speak.
"We fought a lot, I had a lot of fun and it was entertaining; but I have to go Uesugi-Kun, tomorrow at the same time?"
Time stopped in its tracks and he looked at the options.
" Tomorrow at the same time? "
A-) Of course.
B-) I don't think so ...
C-) Tomorrow will be at your house, I am your tutor.
D-) Sure, I had a better time than expected.
E-) Yes. I didn't think you would ask me.
" Yes, I admit, it was fun and my subconscious knows it. Now I have to choose, the * B and C * could lead to more questions and I just want to go study. The options * A, D and E * are very good and decent; but each one has a different approach… I know. "
Everyone went back to how they were before and Uesugi looked at Itsuki with a calm face.
"Yes, at the same time tomorrow. You know, I thought you weren't going to ask me."
Itsuki walked towards the opposite direction from the protagonist's house.
"I had a good time, besides, I learned a lot which is why I asked you for help. Goodbye, Uesugi-Kun."
She greeted him walking with her back to Fuutarou, but with her head tilted so that she could see him.
"Bye, Nakano-san"
+2 affection points on Itsuki.
Fuutarou breathed in the fresh air and looked in the direction of his house.
"I hope my sister doesn't bother."
It's a shame he didn't see the limo Itsuki got in.
