Capítulo 13: Chapter 6 - Friend and Sea - (Part 2)
Hiroto realized he didn't have any book materials for the start of class tomorrow. He remembered Kirisu-sensei telling this when she was discussing about the class schedules and whatnot. So, before the afternoon expires, he decided to buy some books at the bookstore. He was wearing brown shorts and a blue long baggy shirt, though it did hide his masculine features a bit, but due to the growth to his height and weight, others would still see the outline of a toned body. He also found a black glasses found in the house. He felt like an undercover idol, thought it was just because his predecessor clothes are all baggy shirts and he just accidentally found the glasses.
Hiroto traveled on foot based from the internet he found, of course he sketch a map outline on the paper but it looks like it was drawn by a kid who was doodling leading Hiroto feeling red and embarrassed in his mind when he looks at it. He felt like grinding SP and just spam the skill until he got a Drawing Skill or something equivalent.
Based from the predecessor memories, 'it seems the past me doesn't really go to other place aside from the supermarkets and that's it.' Hiroto thought. Thankfully the technology here was more advanced and had given Hiroto with a detailed map when he looked up at the internet before or else he had to ask for someone and that may get him into trouble due to his awesomeness.
Looking down at the piece of sketch map before he looked up again, he arrived at the bookstore. The size of the building is pretty normal and fit to be called a bookstore for students to buy and for bookworms who wanted to spend some time to read all day.
Hiroto put his glasses on his shirt top feeling cool himself. Nobody noticed him, feeling the silence in the bookstore he nodded before he went inside the building and look at the list of book written on a piece of paper he was holding. He searched for his books, he looked up to see the label cardboard that says [High School Books Section] his eyes brighten up and search for a book on the list. He found some of the books, looking again at the list, he searched.
Hiroto saw one of the books he was looking for but suddenly he felt a pain on the left side of his head. He realized that he bumped into someone's head. He looked at his left side and he realized that he was very close to someone, as if they are going to kiss if he moves just a bit closer. The girl also look at the boy on his right side and she also realized that they are close enough to kiss.
Daze in that split second before the blue haired girl realized, she backed off immediately, nearly shouting for a moment. Hiroto slightly back off as well, and quickly apologized.,
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get close, it was an accident!" he flusteredly stretched his hand forward while waving it. She turn crimson remembering it and turned her head down as if not wanting to look at his face "No, It was my fault I didn't noticed you." She rejects Hiroto's apology because she thinks it's her fault.
"No, It was my fault." Hiroto interrupt her. "No, It was my..." she also follows. They continued the cycle. Before they realized that many people are looking at them even the receptionist, the blue haired girl softly laughed and said.
"If we continue this they will think we are some kind of weirdo."
"Sorry, ah-ahaha" Hiroto and the blue haired laughed. They both collected the book they were looking for.
"Judging from the book you selected, You're a first year, right?, Which school are you from?". but with his height, she thought he was probably a third year in another school.
She looked at the book Hiroto was holding. Hiroto replied,
"Yes, I am one of the new freshmen students at Otonokizaka Academy." he looked at her and realized that she wore the Otonokizaka academy female uniform, he thought 'Have I seen her before?, She looks familiar.'.
Wow!, so he was one of the male freshmen in school, she curiously continued,
"So we are from the same school, I'm Sonoda Umi, a second year, nice to meet you kouhai." Umi smiled to her new kouhai
"Tamaki Hiroto, Nice to meet you Sonoda-senpai." He looked at her and smiled.
Looking at the smiling Hiroto in front of her she thought 'handsome' before the thought flows out her mind, she blushed a bit before she composed herself.
"J-just call me Umi, we came from the same school. And we will meet often." Umi said.
"Then.. Umi..senpai" Hiroto hesitated for a bit and muster himself. Then he suddenly remembered that he had seen her this morning, the three girls before in the classroom corridor.
"Umi-senpai, It seems that you're alone today. Where are the other two?" Hiroto look around and didn't see the gray haired and orange haired silhouette.
"How did you know I am alone?" Umi was slightly surprised and look at Hiroto as if peering in his eyes looking a bit suspicious, she thought, 'this guy would probable lie or something.' Thankfully, Hiroto wasn't still labeled as a 'stalker', he quickly replied his alibi.
"A while ago I saw the three of you at the corridor. The orange haired girl with a side tail and the gray haired girl with a double ponytail" Hiroto smiled and secretly remembering the joyous scene he witnessed this morning.
Understanding his excuse which seems plausible, she replied.
"You're talking about Honoka and Kotori, yeah they are my precious childhood friends." she looked at the book she was holding.
- - - -
"It seems I got all of my book that I wanted." Hiroto double checks the list and the books he is holding.
"Yes, the time sure flies. I still have something to do in the bookstore, thank you very much, Hiroto-san"
"Something to do? Maybe I can help." Hiroto look at her with sparkling eyes. Being able to help a beauty is something every male would like to do, especially when helping an elegant one.
"No, It's okay, I can do this alone, thank you." Umi looks back sincerely thank him with a smile that would attract any male students saw it. She bowed and turns back to walk to her destination leaving Hiroto standing.
For that moment, Hiroto saw Umi's smile as his heart skipped a beat. 'I'm really glad that I was reincarnated. I just saw many things happened to me be it a miracle and unforgettable moment. I am really glad.' he thought.
(AN: Ding, info dump here it comes)
As an orphan, Hiroto spent his teenage years working his way with different part time jobs and barely scraped money to rent a barely usable home to live with. In his early adulthood he already became a salaryman, it stressed him and being alone at home without friends make him lonely. He didn't have the time to interact with people because he was fighting to survive with underpaid salary and half of his unspent money would go to his hobbies, the only salvation on his emotion, but this salaryman got sent by truck-kun to another world. 'He's asking himself before his last breath 'why did I not enjoy this pitiful life of mine I should have not become a salaryman and aim for higher role, not sitting on a plain office and wasting my time and energy with this company who thinks their employers nothing but tools. Saving the little girl was sure not a bad thing to do after all!' as he have seen the little girl running to closer to him and crying. He's really glad he reincarnated and given a second chance to change and getting to try out school life that he always see in anime.
In the perspective of all active person contributing to the society, they would want to succeed and pursue their future dream life of relaxation in their old age and to do that they would dedicate their life to work. For Hiroto, now that he was in this world, he would do his best to earn his living with ease, and foreso he would grind his(SP) his way to the top.
Getting back at home Hiroto put his needed books for tomorrow's class. It was already afternoon he would have his dinner soon. Readying himself for an afternoon's workout, 'Cause, why not, I can earn SP' for a bit' he first look at his status.
Name: Hiroto Tamaki
Age: 16 (25)
SP: 63
Level: 0 (7/100)
Physical: 13
Soul Power: Locked
Skills:
Piano (Master)
Axe (Intermediate)
Writing(Skilled)
Carpenting (Basic)
'Strange how did my SP go up?' Hiroto thought to himself but didn't overthink as he thinks it's probably when he was exploring the neighborhood or did a grindy unnoticeable action that gives meager SP. He started to workout for a bit until 1 hour later he gives up, but did up his SP to 103. Not being eager to use gacha, he would now collect many points and starts gacha by then. He has a better chance of winning more and that he can try the skills he has tonight like for example, his writing skill. He eaten his dinner and surfed the web to see the existing novels the world have.
As a otaku japanese person before and present, Hiroto had seen his fair share of cliche novel, it's always like some Isekai or probably just a school life of an overly dense protagonist, he hated and loved that shit. It was a symptom, a sickness and you need that pill to cleanse your needing soul. As a lonely person, seeing someone in that third person situation, can restore some of his emotion, Hiroto would put himself in the protagonist's shoes and it's just that, but now he 'was' or probably, he didn't know but at least he would not do things like any dense protagonist would do. (AN: is he though?). For now he would just do his best.

Hiroto thought of some of the light novels he had red in his past life, chinese, japanese and korean based light novel some of them he had read, some of them he just read was it's synopsis, he didn't have much time to read before. But with the 'Writing Skill', (AN:Cheater) it felt like if he thought of a story title or novels he had read at some point in his past life, he was able to remember them or he can create his own idea's following the title, though the skill was only below the 'Master tier' it still gived him an insurmountable advantage versus other author, or is there a comparison to begin with.
'I can remember Library of the Heaven's Path but I wasn't able to finish reading up to the latest.' in Hiroto's mind he can think of this story at the point his latest read, but if he thought of the later chapters he didn't read, his mind would suggest what can happen and would give ideas based from the chapter existing in his mind 'database'.
'Everyone Else is a Returnee, Healing Revenge, Arifureta..hmmm they are all good, but..." looking at his computer, Hiroto thought of an applicable novel that can boom in this world. Not every novel would be able to be popular in this world where female is more on the active role. Moreover 70% in the market are focused on females, so it should be a novel leaning to the female, but I can also just wrote a male lead novel, I just need the SP but if I can earn more money then it would be two birds with one stone.' Though the male never was at a disadvantage due to their qualities, but unlike his past world, here, there were more successful females that contributed to the history.
'A shoujo light novel?' he can only think of that, there would be many girls in this world that would love a genre 'hero like prince saving her.' but the problem is that he didn't read any of that, as a pure thinking Otaku would probably say, 'shounen is my soul, harem is my bones, romance is my blood and fantasy are my... ' oh wait, maybe this can work he wrote.
'Haruhi Suzumiya' Hiroto had read the novel, he was amazed by the mysteries over mysteries in the series, it had it's confusing moments and sometimes there would be a surprising action. It's composed of Haruhi who had a dimensional warping ability, Kyon, the main character and narrator of the story, he was a very good spectator and also the follower of Haruhi also Yuki Nagato who was always silent and the other's. The novel is full of emotion and all the characters had their own personalities!.
The novel can be applicable to both genders, and since it leaned on the mystery part, 'females would loved it!', It was the most popular novel in it's time after all, this is it!. He only had read up to vol 7, he just didn't have time to read all the volumes, but he had a saving grace, he had read the summaries in the future volumes!. He can just write the hole in the middle and redo it, with the main plot already given, he can finish the novel to its entirety!.
Though Hiroto think it's better to write the vol 7 up to the last when he had the 'Writing (Master)', by then he would be able to improve the story up to its full capacity and higher.
Hiroto downloaded and installed the software writing app where he can write the story and started typing the first volume, he can remember all parts of the volume 1. He started writing, 'the main protagonist Kyon esque spectator who is an ordinary student meet Haruhi Suzumiya in the class', he would be able to 80% copy the original novel, and bridge the left percent with his Writing Skill. Though the execution would not be higher than the 'Master', he noticed just now that the writing of the novel was equivalent to his skill tier. So in a sense, he was able to write the novel with its core components intact.
Hiroto was not able to finish typing the first volume but he decided to post his first volume in parts web novel website 'Syosetsuu'. He visited the website and register an account 'HiddenGem' it was not his usual nickname, he thought it was catchy and maybe some would be baited to read the story. He copy pasted the first 2 chapter he typed and leave it there. If it got serialized in the future he had the rights for it, the anime or manga adaptation, this world had a slightly different laws and regulation, it's probably okay for him, if someone is interested, he would need to be contacted, 'oh wait, I should probably buy a phone this week' Hiroto sets a date to visit the super mall store in the coming days, since it early phase of the novel it would probably not gather much attention, he thought as he looked at his Status before retiring to bed.

'Wow! It got that much?, one hour should be equivalent to 40+ SP' Hiroto excitedly said while thinking, he should also write tomorrow night, I'll earn SP in no time. He already felt a bit of the 'physical soreness', he feels tired for just writing for two hours, writing was that mentally draining, his 'Writing Skill' was OP but has it's detriments.
Hiroto also wants to try roll on the consumable gacha and see if there are things that can still increase his 'Physical' as Yasuo would need to be given one as well. 'Oh well let's just think of that in the future, I should sleep now.'
Before Hiroto expires to his beauty sleep, he subconsciously think of the girls he had meet today, he slightly smiled in the process as sleepiness drowns him.
