Kazuma finally had some quiet time after they began working, so he chose to investigate the system since his reward from last night had not been claimed despite the fact that he remembered having successfully completed one of the quests by a significant margin.

The amount of experience he received was exactly what he had anticipated, and in addition to that, he also learned a martial art from a different world.

This martial art had nothing to do with using inner chi or anything similar, but it did have something much stranger.

Nevertheless, he initially chose to accept it, and the instant he gave it some thought, he felt an exhilaration of experience he had never known before.

'This is auto-learning or something...'

However, the system stopped the second memory feed process, warning him that if he wanted to learn the muscle memory of this particular set of martial arts, he should wait and do so at home instead because doing so would require changing his body to make it suitable for the martial arts, which would be extremely painful if he used his full strength.

Since there was nothing crucial, Kazuma was asked to assist with numerous tasks, but thanks to Aoki, he was able to protect himself from it and expressed his gratitude for the help.

This made Aoki chuckle as he said that he did not want to lose a valuable junior, among other things.

Thus, the difficult day finally came to an end, and he was able to speak with Hana—who was still reserved but did not completely reject his presence around her—and Yuri, who was now beginning to talk to him.

Although Yuki did not appear to be particularly happy and only occasionally nodded at him, she did not engage in much conversation with those around him.

But Kazuma was already beginning to get used to her cold treatment of him, and he began to suspect that she might have a personal motivation for doing so. He decided to hold off on asking too many questions about it until she began to get to know him better.

"Okay, goodbye, Kazuma. See you tomorrow." As Aoki sent Kazuma back, he watched Kazuma leave that location and turned back to the office as he watched Kazuma walk away from that place.

After talking with the other manager about Kazuma-kun's response, which was well received by all, they agreed to have him work part-time for a while before asking if he was interested in working with them.

'Huh! That's harsh...' Upon returning to the apartment, Kazuma collapsed as he checked his smartphone for messages, discovering that some of them were from Emi.

He made contact with her again and spoke with her for a while before beginning to prepare dinner because he was beginning to get hungry.

'Ai! If I could buy food from the system shop!' Kazuma joked inside his head and heard a notification from the other side, which made him dazed as he looked at the screen.

[Host! can purchase food from the system, but each of them is unique compared to typical food that hosts could purchase from the outside world and can nourish hosts' bodies.]

'Wow!' Kazuma was astounded by the selection of food available to him, but even of that, he could only afford 10%, and of that, only 5% was something he could digest because his body's current digestive capabilities were restricting what he could eat, which was equivalent to 0.5% of the item specified on the system.

'Meat of Kanglan Boar.' 'Tulip permagent petal.' 'Recipe of Vital Boar Meat.' After purchasing these three items along with a few unknown spices, Kazuma experienced a rush of knowledge and realized that the recipe he had purchased could be prepared using both items from this world and the tools he had purchased.

'This is really amazing!' He began to cook the meat using the dishes, and the aroma of the food made him realize how delicious it would be.

As the amount of meat on the dish was substantial and Kazuma was beginning to get hungry, he was considering filling up when he thought of the neighbor and began to look for something in the system once more.

He was able to purchase something with one more 300 Exp, which made him smile as he considered how this system has everything he needs to pursue girls. The aroma of the item he purchased also helped to calm his anxious thoughts.

'For now, Let's finish this dish.' He had never before smelled the delicious aroma of finished meat, and the aroma of the sauce he had also cooked was making it even more appetizing.

He then took a seat at the table and bowed his head in thanks to the god who had given him another chance to live in this world and had also given him the system that was improving his standard of living.

Soon! The sound of chewing and slurping, as well as a boy's sigh drowned out by the taste of the food, echo around the room until the food on the table, which was roughly the size of a mountain on a small plate, was devoured.

After finishing his meal, he glanced at the time, which appeared to be around seven o'clock, and wondered whether Nakano-san was in the office or not.

'Wait if her husband is there; it will be really awkward since he is my teacher from the same school.' Since he could simply present the gift and express his gratitude for the previous assistance from Sir, Kazuma made the independent decision to go and see Sir first.

Even though the previous host was the one who had received assistance, it could be a good justification for him to give them a gift he had prepared using the system and for which he had already created a story.

Ding!

"Yes!" It was Nakano-san's voice that echoed from the other side. While she opened the door and looked at Kazuma.

"Kazuma-kun, come inside; I am almost done washing the dishes." He could almost feel that her husband was out again when she did not seem all that surprised and called him inside, but he was not sure what kind of justification her husband might have had for staying out for more than one night.

'That guy can be a prodigy at making excuses like this.' Kazuma muttered as he entered, took a seat, and waited a moment before smirking when he realized he had not seen any of the toys he had previously seen.

"Kazuma-kun, I am done. Sorry for being late." Kazuma was reading the newspaper and attempting to avoid looking at those parts of Nakano's body when Nakano arrived after finishing the cleaning.4

Her simple, loose-fitting home clothing was very alluring to Kazuma.

Consequently, he did not waste any time and handed her the tea box that the system had automatically distributed while grinning.

"This is the tea leaf that I got from a friend and thought would definitely help you out a little with the stress, so have it."

Nakano Mai was surprised as she took the container and opened it. Along with that a keen sense of refreshment and aroma spread through the room, which made feel a little refreshed.

"This is really good! But are you sure that you want to give it to me?"

Nakano was able to tell from the aroma of the tea that it was not inexpensive and might cost a lot because she had previously sipped on a friend's homemade herbal tea, about which she had heard her friend speak highly and mention how much money it had cost her.

But when she compared that tea to the tea Kazuma had given her, she was able to tell that the quality of Kazuma tea was higher and that it might be expensive to purchase some.

"Kazuma-Kun, I don't know if you knew about it or not, but this kind of tea can be really expensive, and this bottle alone can get you some million if my estimation is right!"

Given that this tea only cost him a few hundred system Exp to purchase, Nakano asked Kazuma, who just laughed and did not seem to mind.

"It is alright; I have a lot of it from my friend, so I do not care about its value." Kazuma was being incredibly honest, but Nakano's face lit up as she asked in a low whisper while turning to face him.

"Are you giving me such an expensive gift out of obligation, say Kazuma-kun, or are you trying to..." This time, Nakano-san's expression on Kazuma was very different. With a glint in her eyes, she looked at him closely.

"Hmm. What if I were to say that I am interested in you and have always wanted to do something with you, Miss Nakano?" This time, he asked the woman directly, looking at her with a serious expression on his face rather than being startled by anything.

"I am married you know..."

"The guy just cheated on you for all this time."

"If you get caught, you will be in trouble."

"That is if we got caught, and even if that happen, I will erase his memories itself."

"Then what kind of relationship will this be?"

"It is up to you, but until I get on my feet and can have assurance, I will do everything to steal you from that guy."
