Chapitre 16: An Unforgettable Night
After paying for the accessories, Kouro picked them up, he stared at them for a moment before looking at Mei.
"Can I tie it up for you?"
Kouro planned to do that so that Mei would not keep this accessory and never wear it again or also reject this gift of his.
What a cunning plan.
"... Uhm... " Mei nodded in embarrassment, she turned her body while lowering her face which was covered by her hair so that Kouro could not see her expression.
Kouro touched Mei's silky hair before tying her hair into a ponytail using the hair tie.
Once done, Kouro smelled his hand that carried the fragrance of Mei's hair before raising his eyebrows and not thinking too much about it.
'It smells nice, the fragrance is soothing maybe I can ask Mei-senpai for a shampoo recommendation later. '
He turned to look at Mei and asked as hd picked up a mirror, he asked the nearby worker to hold the mirror.
"How does it look, do you like it? "
Mei lifted her face and stared at the mirror before her that reflected her appearance, she saw Kouro looking at her with an admiring expression.
"I-I like it, thank you, Kouro. " Mei said with a subtle smile and flushed cheeks.
No matter what, even though she felt embarrassed, the moment she saw Kouro looking at her with admiration for her new appearance made her feel happy.
"I'm glad you like it. "
They both stared at the mirror that reflected their mutual looks.
"... "
"...Uh... Can I leave now?" Asked the intern holding the mirror while looking at all this with an expression like she was constipated.
"Oh! Yeah, thank you for your cooperation. " Kouro and Mei said while looking away.
".. Yes, then I'll leave first. "
The apprentice who left was sure that if she didn't intervene, the two of them would definitely stare at each other for a long time.
'Damn it! I want a boyfriend too!' thought the intern as she cried and bit her lip.
After being left by the intern Kouro felt that there was an awkward atmosphere between him and Mei.
Kouro cleared his throat before saying with a calm expression, "Ahem! Alright, since it's getting late and we have school activities tomorrow let's go home. "
"Oh! Yes! You're right, let's go home!" Mei said quickly.
The two of them finally exited the Accessories shop before returning, of course Kouro escorted Mei to the gate of Senba Academy.
"Mei-senpai... Before going home, do you mind if we take a selfie together?" Asked Kouro blushingly while scratching his cheek.
He wanted this to be a keepsake memory for him.
Mei looked at the blushing Kouro with an interested expression, it was the first time she saw him wearing such an expression.
"I don't mind. "
Kouro smiled happily at her agreement, he stood beside Mei and quickly took out his cell phone before tilting it.
The style they used was a simple 'Peace'.
If anyone wants to imagine how the two of them took a picture, just imagine when Firefly and the MC of Honkai Starrail took a selfie together.
"Ready? Three... Two... One!"
Staring at the camera, Mei followed Kouro's style while smiling happily.
"Cheese!"
*Snap! *

As the days passed, Mei eventually got used to spending time with Kouro, chatting, practicing swordsmanship, and going shopping (dates) every night.
On the other hand, Kouro had already taken all the benefits at the ME agency branch, after making sure again that nothing was overlooked, he resigned from there.
Of course, this caused a small commotion at Tachikawa Academy.
However, due to the reputational damage and decreased trust in the ME Company the others didn't find it too out of the ordinary.
With the improvement of Hokushin Itto-ryu Kouro's swordsmanship, he no longer needed to continue training against Mei and he had no problem learning it himself.
This also led to the fact that every day Kouro and Mei were in contact with each other and even considered it a veiled break or even entertainment.
After making Strawberry daifuku snacks, Mei now makes some snacks almost every time for Kouro and the two of them roam the streets of Nagazora city from time to time.
They were truly like a couple on a date.
Moreover, Kouro had gotten some extra free time after resigning from the ME company which made his day more relaxed.
In less than two months of Kouro getting the system, he had already earned 159 points and he added those points evenly.

Staring at the Interface of his status Kouro muttered with satisfaction.
"At this rate there should be no problem surviving when the Third Eruption comes."
Feeling a significant increase in his strength, Kouro had no idea how strong he was now, after all there were no zombies or Honkai Beasts as his test subjects.
Practicing swordsmanship with Mei was no longer a problem for him.
Because of Kouro's combat power that increased along with the increase in stats. While Mei, who has not yet awakened as Herrscher, her physical fitness is still in the ordinary human category.
In swordsmanship training with Mei, Kouro suppressed his strength to a certain extent.
This also allows Kouro to increase his control when dealing with others.
Mei who felt Kouro's soaring improvement in just one month felt a little envious, but when she saw Kouro become much more relaxed than before, Mei felt very happy about this.
In addition to spending time with Mei and practicing, Kouro found his height increasing again from 177 cm to 183 cm.
His previously athletic body was now slimmer with perfect six-pack abs and broad shoulders.
Everyone who knew him naturally questioned this, but they thought that this was the normal growth of a teenage boy, so they stopped thinking about it.
...
The male student dormitory at Tachikawa Academy.
Kouro looked at his reflection in the mirror.
In addition to his body becoming taller than before, Kouro's skin which was rough and darker due to the rigorous training. Now his skin is soft and supple like a baby's skin and even the old wounds from training have disappeared.
Kouro used to have a handsome face, now he became more handsome and masculine than ever.
He also noticed that his size increased from 6.3 inches to 7 inches.
Because his face has become super handsome, Kouro is always surrounded by many women who make him feel more troublesome.
Kouro asked Mei for advice on how to avoid them, Mei who was asked for advice did not know what to say.
After all, Mei had never experienced being mobbed by someone so fanatical.
Mei looked at Kouro's face while wearing a thinking expression.
She ignored the divine light, the beautiful rainbow or even the small animals around Kouro forming a dramatic atmosphere.
Mei could only say to cover his face which was the culprit of the problem whether it was using a mask or something like that.
Kouro thought it was a good idea although it was a little inconvenient, he thought for a moment before choosing to wear a vehicle helmet to cover his face.
Mei felt it wasn't a good idea but didn't say anything after seeing Kouro's shining eyes.
After that Kouro used the helmet when walking outside and even to the academy although he was eventually told to take the helmet off during class.
While Kouro was struggling with his good looks that were troubling him.
On the other hand, to find her father who went missing all those years ago and to investigate Herrscher who has destroyed the world.
A white-haired girl who has been searching fruitlessly in Europe for a long time, goes to Asia to continue the search for her father.
