Koko Crunch~

So after my part-time job and intense training I was looking at my stats while laying on the floor all exhausted.

Intelligence: 15

Luck: 15

Endurance: 14

Agility:14

Strength: 15

If I reached the 20-point mark, could I hope that something new would show itself inside the system? If that was a common trope, could I by chance get some of my questions answered? Like why I was here, how come I specifically, and more importantly how could I possibly stay in this world? Yes, there was a chance of getting involved in the mafia far in the future, if something went wrong and Mikey once again went astray, but I would take my chances to stay with my new family.

"Why are you spacing out on the floor? Aren't you going to rush back home like you usually do?" Waka Waka seemed salty as ever.

"For once you could think of me more preciously." I picked myself up, only to see him stand up and have him push me forcefully inside the changing room.

"Nooo!" I yelled as that transpired to create more drama. Once I took a shower and changed my clothes, I came out having Senju greet me with a smile.

"So how was the date yesterday?" Yes, I did mention it to her inside the text messages, because she wanted to come over and wouldn't believe I had no time to spare.

"It was chill, nothing too crazy." besides whatever the system tried to do with this one questionable mission. Takeomi that seemed to have arrived with Senju overheard our conversation, but why was he usually hanging around here when I was present? Suspicious, because Wakasa always mentioned he was really busy trying to get his life back on track.

"So, since you're dating someone does it mean you will stop bothering me?" Takeomi asked as I shook my head to his sheer disappointment.

"I'm not dating anyone, it was just a one-time thing, because I fooled a poor soul into accepting my deal, which I won and the reward was him going on a date with me." I smiled evilly, as Senju gasped not knowing the details behind it.

"Why did you go so long?" she questioned.

"Oh I just like annoying the guy, he's on top of my of people I like to bother... right after him would be your brother." I then turned my head in his direction, having a cheeky grin on my face.

"Since you're so jealous how about going on a date too?" he straight out refused. It didn't work, so I turned my sight onto Waka Waka next.

"How about you?" He stopped whatever he was doing, and paused for a moment creating some suspense, only for him to finally voice.

"If you keep up this nonsense any longer, I will personally chase you away with a broom." How awful.

"What I am, a spec of dust?" He nodded his head agreeing, while Takeomi laughed at my misfortune.

"So cruel. Mark my words, vengeance will be mine." Someday I would have enough stats to beat their asses in a fight, I huffed took Senju's hand, and walked out of the gym.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked, and she gave it some thought before suggesting it.

"How about some ice cream at the convenient store?" I nodded, didn't use a lot of cash and we could enjoy the summer heat with something refreshing. We walked inside the first one we spotted and were about to accomplish our purchase until Kokonoi rushed to the both of us like a madman while wearing his Black Dragon uniform.

"Please for the love of god get out of here quickly." When did he become religious? Me and Senju both looked at him in confusion as I received some change from the cashier.

"Why tho?" I asked unbothered by his rush to get us out of this store, on contrary, I was unpacking my ice cream from the wrapper.

"Remember when I told you, I never wanted you to meet Taiju, well he's here in this store, right now." I couldn't understand his reasoning, well yes I could stir some trouble for him, causing him to lose some money, but hey that was if I was beaten up. This was just a simple store trip, did he believe that Taiju would start a fight with two girls younger than him for no apparent reason? Was the vision of him losing money, making Kokonoi lose his reasoning and common sense?

"Listen here buddy, he will notice us sooner, if you keep bothering us. We would be just normal passersby in this guy's eyes if you ignored our existence." He retaliated.

"One wrong look from you and he would start a fight." Doubtful, it would mean he was out here fighting anyone with a judging look on their faces.

"He's coming this way," Senju warned Kokonoi.

"You leave me no choice!" Why did this bozo open up his uniform jacket and showed me his abs? Suddenly his hands came closer and before I could register anything he put me into a hug and covered my head with his jacket? This pose was uncomfortable because my legs were slightly bent.

"Are you out of your mind Koko Crunch?" I tried to push him away but to no avail, he was stronger than me. Senju just found it hilarious and she was laughing her ass off. Was she really not planning to help me? Also, his body radiated so much heat I thought I would die.

"What are you even doing Koko?" I heard a new voice ask, I guess that was Taiju.

"This is his attempt at flirting." Yes, take that Kokonut boy. The giant must have been weirded out about the situation because I heard him purchase something and walk off. I tried to make Koko release me, but he was adamant about to still staying put, I think I could feel sweat forming on my forehead already, I recently walked out of the shower and this mofo made me feel yucky again.

'Would you rather warn Kokonoi Hajime that you will touch his butt if he won't release you or warn him about licking him instead' Since the second one seemed more like a threat and I had no hand to actually execute the first option, I chose the latter alternative.

"Let me go or I will lick you, I'm totally serious." He probably didn't believe someone would be crazy enough to attempt such a stunt on a person they met just twice.

"What are you waiting for, I'm pretty sure he already left!" I was reaching my patience limits at this point.

"He's looking over here from the window." Who cared at this point, I wanted out of this stupid situation asap. Another ping, what could it be now?

'Warning! If Kokonoi Hajime doesn't release you when the timer goes off, proceed by performing your previous threat.' Wait, what? No specification warned me this would occur if I knew I would choose the first option. I wanted to cry, but I become more fierce to reach my freedom.

"Let me go! This is getting ridiculous!" Where was Inupi to stop this crazy money-obsessed idiot?

"Can't you just wait a few minutes more?" He dared to ask, there was no way I could. I tried to wipe away the sweat from my forehead on his body in hopes he would release me, but nothing. I watched in horror as the timer reached zero. Should I just accept any kind of punishment from the system at this point? Or would it be even worse than whatever this was? Michi imagine his body ...it's just your favorite ice cream. Visualization. So I actually did lick him in the end, before having a total mental breakdown inside my head.

"What the hell? Did you really just lick me?" He finally released me from this grip, and I could finally breathe.

"It's all your fault!" I was ready to blame it all on him.

"Wait you really did?" Koko ran to the bathroom that was available inside the store.

"Your face is all red." I suddenly made a heartbreaking expression toward Senju.

"Why didn't you help me? This was awful?" I decided to eat that ice cream that was now dripping down my hand.

"Sorry I thought that's how you two were getting along." Did she get it from seeing me messing with Kisaki inside the school? But unlike him, I met Koko only twice, what the hell Senju? I didn't say anything just pouted.

"I'm sorry, I will save you next time." she better.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise." Great, of course, there would be a time I wouldn't need her help.

"Let's dip before he returns." I didn't want to face the consequences of my own actions.

There weren't any other strange mishaps, in our hangout, but when I returned home a strange mission arrived.

'Would you rather use your face-changing potion or one of your health potions?' That was hard, but I did have more health potions at hand, I gave it some thought and picked the second alternative.

"But who I am supposed to use it for?" I looked a the calendar and realized something.

"Today is 19 July, I can use the potion on the poor girl that has been in a coma because of Moebius right? Wasn't like Takemichi following Draken around and found which hospital she was at?" Yes I could spy on Draken with Takemichi and get the location, and then sneak into the hospital at night and at least the poor girl won't have to suffer for the rest of her life with a disfigured face. I read the description apparently the health potion was so powerful it could heal anything, at least it was how it marketed itself. What would the world do if she recovered in a single day? I had no clue, but if I could change someone's life so be it, I shouldn't be greedy stashing it away, and I guess that's what the system was after as well.
