Chapter 4: What should I do if I look too handsome?
With Ren leading the way, the two quickly arrived at the bottom floor of Nishigahara Apartments.
"Is this Nishigahara Apartments?"
Seeing Ren stop at an apartment, Gabriel stopped.
"Um."
Ren nodded and was about to leave.
He was already in charge, so what was he still doing here?
"Wait a minute, Kamikawa-kun, what is your room number?" Gabriel then asked, "I was planning to visit you later."
"...201."
"201? Mine is 202," Gabriel exclaimed, "I live next door to you, what a coincidence."
"Um."
Ren wasn't surprised at all.
For him, going home now is more important.
However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.
So, he hesitated and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, without waiting for Gabriel to react, he left without hesitation.
"Goodbye."
Seeing Ren's leaving figure, Gabriel smiled and waved at him.
After standing downstairs to make sure Ren returned to his room, Gabriel started going upstairs to look for her room.
"I think Kamikawa-kun is very interesting."
Recalling Ren's every move just now, Gabriel couldn't help but laugh.
·····
"Very tired."
After putting the snacks in the kitchen, Ren collapsed on the bed.
The exchange with Gabriel just now had used up all his energy.
"Is this the life of an ordinary person? How difficult!"
After taking a short break, Ren stood up and headed to the table.
Finding an empty notebook, Ren took a pen and wrote down everything that happened today.
In human terms, this behavior is called keeping a diary.
But the goal is not to keep a diary, but to study.
Learn how people used to talk and their habits.
Especially in terms of dialogue.
Therefore, he wrote down all the conversations between himself and Garbriel from the beginning until they separated.
He hopes to learn skills in communicating with others.
He is not someone who gives up easily.
Of course, he doesn't know how to write about everything, he hides his superpowers.
Ordinary people do not have superpowers.
After silently reciting what Gabriel said twice, Ren closed his notebook with satisfaction and found a drawer to store it properly.
This is very important learning material and cannot just be lost.
"Okay, time is almost up, time to study."
So Ren opened the laptop he kept and looked for ways to communicate with normal people.
.....
The next day, 6 am.
Maybe because he went to bed early yesterday, Ren woke up very early today.
"Today's assignment is to learn how to be a normal high school student."
After breakfast, Ren sat at the table again, opened his laptop and continued his search and study.
Because most people his age would go to high school, after he left that place, he looked for a high school for himself.
Under the influence of his superpowers, he easily received the admission notice from Shuchi'in Academy.
However, he had never attended school before.
Therefore, he had to learn how to be a normal high school student.
"I want to be an ordinary high school student, and I definitely can't be the type to stand out."
With this in mind, Ren strictly excluded content such as 'How to become a popular king' and 'Teach you how to become popular'.
With a clear goal, he quickly found the information he wanted.
After clicking on it, Ren started his own study.
"In the first place, you can't be an otaku."
Ren read out the content displayed on the screen word by word.
Otaku?
What's that?
In Ren's 16 years of life experience, he had never heard this word.
"Then let's look for it."
Ren was still a little curious about the unfamiliar term.
After his search, a lot of information suddenly appeared.
"So, do otaku just stay at home and scream about two-dimensional waifu that don't exist in this world? I always feel a little biased?"
After browsing various posts and information, Ren made a summary.
"It doesn't matter, I can't be an otaku anyway."
After learning that otaku have a very low status in this country, Ren becomes even more determined not to become an otaku.
He wanted to be an ordinary person, so it was better to stay away from the so-called second dimension.
"Then the next one."
"In appearance, you must maintain the most basic cleanliness and not be too dirty."
"I really suit this. My face is very clean and very white."
Thinking like this, Ren planned to slide down.
There is no need to study what he has done.
After scrolling down, he discovered that this paragraph actually had notes.
"It can't be too bad, and it can't be too good..."
After reading the note quickly, Ren roughly understood the meaning.
If you are too ugly, no matter how clean your face is, you will still be disliked.
And if it looks too good, even if you don't do anything, you will still be popular.
Overall, it's all about looks.
"I'm definitely not the ugly type."
Ren is quite confident with his appearance.
When he was imprisoned, the women among them all said that his face was very handsome.
"Wait, so handsome?"
Ren realized something, quietly walked to the bathroom mirror, and looked for celebrity photos on his phone.
From what he had just learned, celebrities generally looked better.
Therefore, he could tell whether he was handsome or not by comparing himself with celebrities.
First he looked at himself in the mirror, then looked at celebrity photos on his cell phone.
"I seem to be more handsome?"
Having never developed an aesthetic, Ren can only judge his own appearance based on feelings.
"Does that mean my appearance is not like an ordinary person?"
Putting his phone back into his pocket, Ren started to think.
What should he do if he looks too handsome?
A way must be found to solve this problem.
He wants to be an ordinary person, not popular.
