It was a fresh morning for him.
"Hello! Kazuma-kun." When Kazuma noticed that Nakano-san appeared to have returned from her morning shopping with heavy bags, he initially considered helping her out before coming to a complete stop.
Nakano opened the door to keep the object inside, seemingly having seen through Kazuma's apparent desire to assist her, before smiling and bidding him farewell with a pat on the back.
"This is going to be really awkward from now on, although he is really cute and easy to tease back the way it is." Nakano was beginning to feel a little helpless when she shook her head and remembered how the poor child had been getting beaten up for a while and that it was obvious that he was being bullied.
'Huh! Even my husband could only watch over when he was in his class; beyond that, even he was helpless against the bullying that he was going through!'
Although Nakano and her husband were aware of the predicament of the poor child and had previously spoken with him, he began to emerge more and more over time, rendering them equally helpless.
Not to imply that Nakano's husband was particularly sober and had been considering the child's best interests in his own way, but he was a reclusive type who avoided people frequently.
'It seems that something has changed him since he finally came to ask for something from me tomorrow.'
When Kazuma approached her to ask for something, Nakano was taken aback because she had noticed how openly Kazuma had been acting.
However, most of it was merely an initial assessment from her end, and she had no idea how Kazuma would respond in the future or whether he would behave differently than in the past.
On the other hand!
Kazuma, on his way to school, felt something squeeze his heart, and his breathing became strange as he realized it was one of the previous host's muscle memories, and what he was feeling was just a part of the fear the original host had felt whenever he got close to school.
"How did he even attend school with this kind of mentality?" Kazuma murmured to himself as he surveyed the water faucet in the center of the playground and made the decision to splash some cool water on his face to feel revitalized.
Then, as he was beginning to settle down, an idea struck him. He grinned a little, walked to the other side of the ground, and began to prepare for the class by doing some makeup.
Ding! Dong! Ding!
All of the students entered the classroom as soon as the school bell rang, but as they all turned to face the miserable figure who had just entered the room amid them with his battered face, dim eyes, and little shaky footing, "Kazuma, are you alright? What the hell happened?"
Even though his classmate has been cold toward him from the beginning of the class and has not tried to preach in his trouble till this date.
But now, looking at his figure, they could not help but feel weird as he walked in such a state.
"Ahh! It's alright, I just fell from the stair." In anticipation of that, Kazuma spoke clearly while casting a sidelong glance at the man who had initially instilled this fear in the original host's mind and pretended to be a coward for the time being.
Kazuma's words did not come as a surprise. The boy, who was also the class's representative, turned to look at Nakamura with a knowing smile and did not say much but helped Kazuma to his seat while grinning.
"Nakamura-san, do not you think you have gone too far with those things? Have you even forgotten his humane nature while abusing him?"
Nakamura was surprised, as he remembered beating the guy, but they never hit his face and only kicked his body at that time, so he was not sure why he was getting reprimanded like that.
"What?" He only gave the class representative a grouchy look before turning to look at Kazuma, who momentarily snickered before acting like a coward.
However, it was the voice of the class representative that focused everyone's attention on Nakamura and prevented them from catching Kazuma chuckling at the time.
However, Nakamura saw it clearly and realized that Kazuma was to blame for how things turned out. He was about to yell when he noticed the girl sitting in the seat to his right, who had a similar doubtful expression on her face.
"Hey! He is just faking it, and I have nothing to do with those face injuries, just so you know." He was honest and up-front, so he exuded self-assurance.
However, Nakamura's actions seemed childish in comparison to Kazuma's, who was an experienced actor from Earth with years of experience working behind the scenes.
Everyone just shook their heads as they observed Kazuma's panicked expression as he strained to keep Nakamura's gaze from him, wondering if the latter was really considering them all to be fools or something.
Given Kazuma's true nature, they could hardly believe that he would have the confidence to plot against the man.
"I am sorry! It is not like that; Nakamura is not in the fault class-rep! Please stop this."
With this action, Kazuma made it clear that no one in the class would have any reason to doubt him, given how cowards typically behave.
"See, he is telling himself!" When Nakamura spoke, Kazuma wondered if Nakamura-kun was truly a musclehead or something, because he could not have known that others were becoming more skeptical of him as a result of those words.
Emi Yuriko turned to face Kazuma with a small expression of remorse on her face.
She was not stupid or blind, after all, to be unable to understand why Kazuma had been treated poorly recently and that a portion of the blame for his predicament lay with her.
She wanted to help her boyfriend because she knew that Nakamura, despite being a bully, was also a nice guy to others, which is why she decided to be with him, even though she was still unsure of her own feelings.
"Class, take your seat!" The homeroom teacher entered just in time and yelled for everyone to take a seat before turning to face Nakamura and the class representative, who had returned to his seat and sat down.
While Nakamura initially turned to look at the class representative before turning to look at Kazuma with contempt because he could see that everything was connected to that guy and that it was the same guy who had written his girl a love letter, "Good! You wanted to play like this bastard!" Speaking out loud, Nakamura gave Kazuma a death glare that was seen by the class-rep and Emi.
Which gave the girl some cause for concern because she was hoping Nakamura would not act rashly in the future.
The classes took place and continued for some time.
At that point, Kazuma was able to review what was on his mind and had already caught up to the main syllabus, at which point he realized how diligent his former self had been. However, his frail body might end up being a problem when he received a notification in his head.

Kazuma finally had his thoughts in order and made a list of the things he would need in the so-called Debauchery system after being startled and looking at the system. The shop was still unlocked and could only be opened at 1,000 points of Exp, so as the name implies, all he needed to do to get the girls and sleep with them was get the Exp.
However, he is not only interested in having sex with those women; he also has the ability to make them fall in love with him and profit from that; in other words, he has two ways to make money.
Hence, there were also conditions.
Condition No. 1
The girl should be recognized by the system and will only give Exp if she is feeling excited or enjoying the time itself with the host.
Condition No. 2
If it was forced, the amount of experience she gains will depend on how much she despises or, in extreme cases, begins to love the host. Hence, everything will be calculated in terms of the emotion-value release during X.
Condition No. 3
........
After finishing everything, Kazuma left the classroom as the lunch break was beginning. He sighed and looked at his empty pocket before deciding to sleep on the roof to forget about his current hunger.
When Kazuma was close to the school's roof door, he stopped and quietly sat down to listen to the voice on the other side. "Hey! That's bad!!!" A moaning sound came from the opposite side, causing Kazuma's younger brother to react.
He also remembered how upset he had been by the Nakano-san incident yesterday and had been considering how he might gain from it when he heard the system ring inside his head once more.
