After spending an hour or two queuing, I finally had a bowl of spicy hot pot, which is available everywhere in mainland China. When I went out after the meal, time had passed from the clear afternoon to the dusk with the sky dyed with ashes.

He and they walked into the tram station, their shadows lengthened by the setting sun, and parted ways there.

When he got on the train back to his rental house alone, the points reward he had accumulated for sharing the rental house with Takeda for seven days were also credited to his account along with the completion of this mission.

Apart from using points to buy bread, coffee and milk a few times, he hasn't used his points for much consumption during this period.

He could now choose any level 5 skill, but he had no real need for it and would only learn it if it would allow him to complete tasks with greater efficiency.

Now that I'm sharing a house with Takeda, we have to consider together what appliances and other things to buy, and there's no way I can just blatantly use points to buy everything on the spot.

I didn't expect that he would have too much money to spend...

Ding--

I received a message on Line that Sakurai posted a few photos in "Contest! Sprint!"

A photo of Kimura, Sakurai and Kato.

Sakurai is still sitting in the middle, making the classic scissor hands gesture.

The photo was taken by Amano, and the three people's spicy hot pot was also captured appropriately. Sakurai's bowl was half-cooked with various vegetables; Kimura's was the complete opposite, with no leaves to be seen. Only Kato was not picky about food, and his bowl had everything.

A photo of him and Amano. Although it is called a photo, the gap in the middle is so big that a seven or eight-year-old child from the welfare home can sit down.

This time, Amano did not follow his example and choose the same food as him. He only picked out what he liked to eat. It seemed that the monitoring of "Patient Inoue" was finally over.

It is worth mentioning that this person picked up three fried dough sticks, and when he ate them, he found that there was no filling inside, just noodles. He frowned for a while, as if he was very disappointed.

He was right next to her at the time, and if they were interacting normally, he should have given her a heads-up.

There was other news on Line, a photo sent by Asakura.

As I zoomed in, it looked more and more familiar—it was the riverside park near the boarding house.

[Inoue: Is this a source material for a novel?]
[Asakura: I went to the boarding house to look for you. The administrator asked me to wait for you here.]
Within a few seconds, the phone jumped to the incoming call page and the phone rang.

After putting on the headphones and answering the call, the man with the mustache asked him straight away for two cans of beer.

"I have helped you a lot..." said the man with a mustache, taking credit for it.

"It would be better not to help." He roughly understood what was going on.

"Will there be any problems with the meeting? Or are they willing to do so?" asked the man with a mustache in surprise.

"The people you met today are my colleagues at the publishing house," he tried to explain.

"You two are so beautiful, how did you manage to deceive her?" The man with the mustache only wanted to believe what he wanted to believe.

He hangs up.

[Asakura: Do you have time?]
[Inoue: I just had dinner.]
[Asakura: You can do whatever you want. I'm here now, so there's always time for us to meet, right?]
[I need illustrations for a new volume by Kuroki…]
He thought about it, deleted the words he had typed, and agreed.

[Inoue: Yes, if I must say, there's time for a movie.]
[Asakura: Really? Then I'll have to find a movie that's suitable for the two of us to watch together.]
[Inoue: Just look for whatever you want to see. I'll be there for you.]
He had some guesses in his mind that needed to be verified one by one through Asakura.

Whether it is Takeda or Amano, they are identified as the so-called "future girlfriends" by the system, and they all have certain characteristics that are rarely seen in ordinary people.

And that quality was something he seemed to have once possessed, but which was now long gone.

Perhaps it was because of this that he could not help but get closer to them and choose to interact with them as he gradually got to know them better...

In this case, Asakura must also have similar spiritual qualities as them, and have her own unique ideals and persistence.

The setting sun fell into the sea of clouds, the crimson color faded, leaving behind a misty gray.

The riverside park was lit up with lanterns, and the hot and humid wind unique to the rainy season was blowing.

Asakura sat on a bench next to a running lamp, scrolling through something on her phone. She wore a short-sleeved shirt, a skirt just above the knee, and sneakers. When she heard his footsteps approach and stop beside her, she looked up and smiled faintly.

Stand up, turn your back, and pretend to be angry.

"It's finally here!" she said.

"waited for so long?"

"Look at the time I sent you the message. Half an hour has passed." Asakura turned around and looked at him.

"I can't help it." He shrugged. "I was in Edo half an hour ago."

"How long?" Asakura asked with a smile as they walked over. "I didn't ask you for money on our last date, so coming along this time should make up for it, right?"

"Does it have to be me?"

"This kind of question is hard for girls to answer..." Asakura stuck out his tongue and blinked ambiguously.

It seems he is the only one.

"Is something wrong?" he asked again.

"I just wanted you to stay with me and do something." Asakura was silent for a few seconds, then added in a relaxed tone, "I wanted to go out and relax, but I didn't know what to do alone."

It looks like something is wrong.

He nodded and kept her company while she passed the time.

They walked onto the road along the riverside park and strolled along the river until they reached the fork where it flowed into the Sumida River.

Chatting haphazardly.

Asakura talks about the sales of "The Wrong Love", royalties, writing habits, and new discoveries of novels worth reading.

He kept silent about the upcoming animation of "The Wrong Love".

He talked about how Kuroki asked him to audition for "The Wasteful Hero" on his behalf, and how he couldn't tell the difference between the dog barks dubbed by more than ten voice actors.

Constantly seeking topics around animation.

The Asakura family had a cat, so they knew nothing about the dog.

Best-selling light novel authors earn much more than illustrators. The royalties from "Wrong Love" alone have reached over 10 million yen so far.

But Asakura gave all the money he earned to his parents to manage.

When writing about the dress or voice tone of a female character, she would try to imitate similar dress or voice herself - this is probably a unique advantage of female authors.

The light novel recommended "Silver Fields", saying that it is a work with a similar style to "Spice and Wolf". It is hard to imagine that it is something that the author of soft pornographic novels likes to read.

"Found it—Nian Nian Shuji, there are seats next to each other in the back row, Lucky~" Asakura stopped on the bank of the Sumida River and flipped through his phone. "Want to go see it?"

It was just past seven in the evening. After watching a movie, including the round trip, I was able to return to the rental house before Takeda went home.

"Nian Nian... a romantic movie?"

"Hasn't Inoue-kun seen it?" Asakura looked at him strangely, then nodded and smiled, "That's perfect, you'll know once you see it."

"..."

Why do some people like to go to the cinema to watch movies they have already seen?
