i'm really only human

Chapter 659 10 Yen
A cheap apartment in the suburbs.

Kondo Isami squeezed into the small one-bedroom apartment, carefully put away his suits, then sighed and prepared instant noodles.

It's really not a good life.

I eat instant noodles every day and I don’t even want to buy an egg.

I still have a mortgage to pay for, and I don’t know if I can find a job next.

Think about how glorious it was in the Age of Chivalry, and then look at it now...

No one wants me even as a bodyguard.

"Ugh!"

Kondo Isami picked up the kettle with a worried look on his face and boiled water.

Although the knight system seems to have been upgraded, it still hasn't changed much for him now.

Instead, he made a huge fool of himself and felt like a social demise.

How about trying your luck at XIG?

He is now considered a special talent, and I wonder if XIG will want him.

I heard there will be an exam...

"Ok?"

Kondo Isami once again materialized the Knight's Belt and suddenly found someone calling him.

Slowly passing through a light gate, the scene in front of me suddenly became bright.

It was the same mysterious space as before. Fujiwara Saiji and the other four all appeared in holographic projection states, and looking at them one by one made him feel a little breathless.

Not an illusion?

"you……"

All the information about the new system flooded into Kondo Isami's mind, but before he could fully digest it, he received 100 points from Fujiwara Saiji.

"Teacher Kondo, this is too pitiful for you," Fujiwara Saiji said with a sigh, "Hurry up and level up. If you can't collect monster data, just accumulate daily tasks. This 100 is our investment. Exchange it for a teleportation card to save your life."

"Quest? Shop?"

Perhaps because they are in different worlds, the mysterious space seems unstable, and communication with Fujiwara Saiji and others is intermittent.

Kondo Isami, overwhelmed by the large amount of information, quickly exited the space and returned to the cheap apartment, gasping for breath.

The noise from next door and upstairs came back to my ears, the sound of pots and pans clanging.

"Noisy!"

Kondo Isami rubbed his swollen forehead, and belatedly realized that he was being made fun of by Fujiwara Saiji.

He wanted to curse back, but when he thought about the powerful aura of the students, he weakened.

He felt uncomfortable because he was too weak and couldn't stay in that mysterious space for too long.

"Why did you suddenly fall behind?"

Kondo Isami felt deeply sad.

Being bullied by a group of juniors...

"I wasn't this unlucky when Kaminaga was still around."

It's like being cursed.

Kondo Isami skillfully tore open the cup noodles package and recalled the message he had just received.

There is indeed an exchange store in the data panel, and a teleportation card is exactly 100 points.

"You guys still have a conscience."

He suppressed his desire for the Decade cards in the store and turned his attention to daily tasks.

His daily task is to make money.

"Do I look like I can make money?"

Kondo Isami was filled with sorrow.

I could still make money in the first year, but not much. After the spirit of destruction came, everything went wrong.

The house that I bought with great difficulty by taking out a loan was turned into sand by a monster, and there has been no further news since then.

After checking his account balance, Kondo Isami hesitated and tried to submit 10 yen. He waited anxiously for the result, but only saw 1 point increase on the panel. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Profiteer!

I hurriedly turned back to check the balance.

Even though no transfer operation was performed, a portion of the money was automatically reduced.

I tried to switch it back but got no response.

Beast!
……

Tadano family.

Xia Chuan took out the banknotes wrapped in an envelope.

No more, no less, exactly 10.

It’s a bit too little, but I don’t have to consider working part-time in the short term.

"We're having beef today."

Xiachuan ignored Kondo Isami's muttering and went out to buy groceries.

A little life-saving money is worth dying for. It is estimated that there is not much time before the angel Zog comes. It is better to upgrade the level quickly than to think about how to pay the mortgage.

"call!"

A large dark cloud floated from somewhere above the city streets, and thunder suddenly sounded in the originally clear sky.

Xia Chuan walked out of the supermarket, carrying a bag of food, passed by residents who were running home to collect their clothes, and looked up at the clouds again.

He felt right.

This time point was indeed affected by some force.

Time is an elusive concept. Its essence is a description of how things work. Theoretically, it is impossible to go back to the past, and no matter how you reverse it, it will only be a new future.

Unless you can jump out of this world and jump out of the timeline.

There shouldn't be such powerful monsters in "Gaia".

Look again.

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan's sight continued to penetrate the clouds, and finally locked onto a special space in the cumulonimbus clouds in the distance.

Separate future timeline?

It turned out to be the case.

The past cannot be changed, but the future timeline can be introduced to change the future in advance.

A monster has seen the future through other timelines and now wants to change the current timeline.

The monster data automatically appeared in Xiachuan's mind.

The time-space monster, El Robpa.

A special monster that can travel through different timelines. In addition to the tentacles on its head that distort time, it is also highly intelligent. When activating its abilities, it will accurately calculate complex factors such as the timeline path coordinates to avoid getting lost in countless parallel times.

Other aspects are relatively general.

In a future timeline, the monster will die along with the Falcons after attacking the XIG Sky Base.

"elder brother!"

In front of the Tadano family.

When Xia Chuan came back, he happened to meet Xiao Hui.

He was still wearing the XIG uniform.

"Why are you back?" Xia Chuan asked in confusion, "Did something happen at XIG?"

"No, I just..."

Xiaohui bit her lip, not knowing how to explain that she fell in love with Captain Mi Tian of the Falcons team.

Captain Yoneda is even older than his brother.

"Is this high-quality beef?" Xiao Hui was suddenly attracted by the ingredients Xia Chuan was carrying. "Brother, where did you get the money?"

"I found a part-time job... Let's not talk about this," Xia Chuan took out the key and opened the door, "Stay for dinner."

"No, I, I still have to go back to the base."

"If you have any troubles, you can always tell me."

Xia Chuan called out to Xiao Hui who was distracted.

"After all, I am your brother. I can definitely help you."

Xiao Hui exhaled, smiled and nodded: "I know, thank you, brother."

In the end, she still didn't express her worries.

She is no longer the little girl who always caused trouble for her brother.

I can't let my brother get involved in dangerous monster incidents.

……

XIG Air Base.

Xiaohui mustered up her courage and stopped the Falcon team that was preparing to attack in the bridge passage, keeping her eyes fixed on Captain Yoneda.

"I really don't understand! Why do you always choose dangerous missions? It's like you don't care about your own life or death at all, Captain Yoneda..."

"Xiaohui, do you believe in fate?" Mi Tian said with a heavy face, "We cannot decide our fate until the final moment comes."

"Zizi!"

Time and space interference intensifies.

Xia Chuan, who had just cooked the beef on the ground, was forced to disconnect his perception.

But he basically understood the situation.

The Falcons, Captain Yoneda... He didn't know about these.

My cheap sister’s view on love is really special. How could there be such a CP?

What would a real brother think?
After sensing the state of the space-time monster once again, Xia Chuan untied his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

I can only eat the beef when I get back.

No matter what, as an older brother you have to be responsible.
