Encounter!

It was a long night.

Kazuma came back from Nakano-san's house contemplating how close he had come to succeeding in making her give in to his constant pressure.

From the outside, he was unsure, but he had a gut feeling that one day she would give in to his attempts. In addition to that, he had numerous chances to siege the way things were going, and tomorrow her husband should be out, so he will try his luck once more.

'Mai-san, let's see if your guard will continue to persist or not, but before that, I need to get ready for my part-time job tomorrow.' Muttering that he just dived on his bed and slept like a chicken, until something started to change inside his body and the martial art rebuilding program started to take effect.

Kazuma, on the other hand, simply felt as though he was living an alternate life as a martial artist in a different world, where everything seemed and felt so real that his mind and body began to change in accordance with what he was experiencing there.

'Hmm...' Before they knew it, it was morning, and Kazuma had awoken at 4 a.m. without showing any signs of sleepiness.

He was sitting there confused about what was happening when he remembered the system's reward and realized that everything he had felt had been more like a dream than anything else.

'No way! That was way too real to be true.' He initially felt bewildered and strange before a warm sensation suddenly passed through his consciousness and he began to understand.

'Fuck! This system is way too OP, man... I even started to doubt my identity back there, but look at this fruit.' He felt a sense of fine control over his body as he observed how lean and athletic his body was.

Although Kazuma was not sure, he could tell that all of the experiences he had would help his current weakness, which is a lack of strength to even defend himself from things that are closely hidden in this society.

After brushing his teeth and putting on his morning attire, he decided to go for a jog. However, he soon discovered that there were not many people awake at that hour to go for a jog.

Each of them looked really friendly and talked with him while jogging as they departed when going back to the different building.

"Good morning, Nakano-san." Kazuma noticed Mai at the door of the apartment, chatting with her husband as he was leaving.

"Oh! Kazuma-kun, good morning to you too." Mai's husband and Kazuma's teacher gave a nod at him as he said his goodbye and walked away while nodding at Kazuma.

Leaving Mai alone, Kazuma noticed that Mai was beginning to perceive him differently as she turned to look at him with a slightly different expression, and he asked.

"Mai-san, can I read today's newspaper?" At that, Mai stiffed out but still nodded and opened the door to let him inside, as a feeling of weirdness washed over her mind.

As she had anticipated, Kazuma pulled her in when he entered the room by placing his hand on her waist, causing her to blush. He then kissed her lips and pushed her against the wall while she grinned slightly.

"Kazuma-kun... Wait?" It was impossible to stop him as he kissed her lips, preventing her from speaking, and enjoyed the intimate session with one hand on her butt and the other on her breast.

"Hah!!!" After a short while, he let her go, which caused her to glare at him. She walked inside with hasty steps, and Kazuma followed her inside to read some newspapers with seriousness as he considered how the previous night's actions were beginning to have an impact.

Although Mai initially appeared to be opposed to his action, her feelings appeared to have changed as she began to contrast her husband's action with his.

'It is starting to get interesting, but before leaving, I would like to make some good memories too.' He grinned broadly as he walked quickly and put his leg on the door as he watched Mai enter the bathroom.

"You! What are you doing? Just let it go. Didn't you just kiss me?" His action of stopping the door from closing made her blush, as she was inside with only a bath towel and all of her clothes were stripped.

He can still see the video of the previous moron who tried to harass Nakano-san and was given the order to use a system item to turn him into a vegetable.

He could not help but think back to the scene from the video and how she had a habit of masturbating in the bathtub.

"You see, I recall that Miss Nakano gets lonely in the bath as well, so I thought I would see if I could accompany her in the bath for a minute before leaving for today." In other words, he was counting on her to let him in, and then he would go back for today.

As a result, he enjoyed kissing Mai in the bathroom before leaving because he was afraid that if he didn't, she would start to get annoyed. He had no idea, however, that his action had broken Mai's self-barrier, and she had begun to enjoy his touch.

'He has changed a lot, or is it my thinking.' When Mai considered the fact that she could not resist him in any way today, she got a very strange feeling.

Perhaps it was because of his words from last night, but she also felt that he had a special feeling for himself. Something was beside him, with an unidentified sense of maturity and that look of someone who has heard a thousand tales, that she could not tell just by looking at him.

Even though she was able to wash all of that emotion and the sensation of his touch away after taking a bath, she could not help but feel a lean toward that small person who had such a large thing down there.

'Stupid! idiot, a simpleton.' She cursed that boy in the quietest voice she could manage.

Then she entered her room to put on a dress and prepare for a change of clothes because she had a visitor from her family coming to meet her today, and she wanted to make a good impression on them.

As she had some sort of photoshoot with a male model, Hana was the only person available for the job today when Kazuma returned to the agency.

And seeing Kazuma coming, the little girl started to act a little nervous around him, although by the look of her, Kazuma could tell that the girl was trying her best to act as normal as she could around him.

When the time to leave the agency came and Kazuma discovered that today Aoki-san would not be there and he would handle his job, that startled him.

As a result, he did not try to become overly familiar with her and worked from a distance while occasionally chatting.

"Calm down, Kazuma-kun." He was suddenly approached by Yuki-san, the female employee of the female manager, who explained that she was to handle the other tasks and that he only needed to speak with the manager on the other side if there were issues.

As a result, Kazuma was also able to relax once more. He turned to face Yuki-san and thanked her for her assistance.

Hana observed Kazuma and sensed his anxiety, which helped her to calm down. It can be a good strategy to reduce anxiety by observing others who are anxious.

Never did she imagine that she would be able to calm down so easily, and although she wanted to thank Kazuma, she later decided against it because she would feel rather anxious.

'Hehe! When it comes to acting and photo shoots, that girl is the best among the three, but she can not just be honest with herself; she needs to be the highest caliber.' As she observed Hana Kimura and their new assistant, Kazuma Takashi, Ayumi, the female manager, felt that these two were true artists, despite feeling that Kazuma's personality had changed slightly this morning.

She did not mind the change at all because it was not a significant one and thought the new Kazuma appeared more composed and collected than usual.

On the other hand,

In the beginning, Kazuma, who had the memories of the assassin, was a little disturbed because he had never worked for an agency like this.

However, as his experience from that world began to blend in, he began to feel more at ease. His experience at this time was similar to having two personalities completely merge inside of him, giving birth to a new personality.

The individual, though, will not undergo a complete transformation; rather, it will appear as though he has encountered things that the majority of people in this world haven't.

"Kazuma-san..." Hana made the decision to talk to Kazuma as she exited the carrier. He was happy to do so and even brought up additional topics for conversation, even though the majority of them involved recent magazine news.

It was also the reason Kazuma was intrigued by the latest fashions and trends in the Tokyo area and around the world.

[Host! A similar presence to that of parkway area has been detected!]

Kazuma was startled when a familiar sound suddenly echoed in his head. His entire demeanor then abruptly changed as he quickly looked around to determine whether the sound was similar to one from that incident or was of a similar nature.

"Hello!" Finally, the manager on the other side exhaled a sigh of relief as he saw Ayumi and Yuki-san exit the vehicle and extended his hand for a handshake before turning to face Kazuma.

There was a distinct change in the air around Kazuma as he walked silently, glanced at the manager, and shook hands with a polite smile on his face while he was looking at their group.

"He is an excellent new sub-manager we had found, and today he will be acting under the role of Aoki, as that guy had something to do." Ayumi grinned as she observed Kazuma's persuasive presentation, which undoubtedly left a positive impression on the minds of the other party.

"My name is Kazuma Takashi! I will be in your care for today." As Kazuma greeted others with courtesy, they reciprocated with smiles and polite nods.

As Kazuma shook hands with the others, he noticed that there were two different kinds of humans among the other seven people. Even though their bodies were more like those of dead people than those of living ones, they had more vitality and blood circulation than any other person he had ever encountered.

'Cold body and fast blood rotation...' As Kazuma recalled this kind of description from his memories of the other world, where the martial art had many creatures that he had dealt with, he had thoughts in his head.

'Undead, but this is more like ghoul!' After reflecting on how the other person had rushed toward him while blasting the wall, Kazuma became convinced that these creatures were more closely related to zombies and ghouls.
