The notification rang as Hiroto was sitting on his bed. Looking at the floating translucent screen in front of him while Maple was sitting between his legs. Wearing his loose shirt as she had no clothes to wear other than her armor.
"What's that?"
She asked while pointing at the floating notification in front of them. Making Hiroto look at her in surprise.
"You... can see this?"
He asked, causing Maple to nod her head in response.
"Yes... Am I not suppose to see this?"
"Not really... It's just that, it's mostly invisible to everyone else so I was a bit surprised that you can see it"
He said as Maple leaned closer to his chest, causing his body to freeze in place while Maple put her ear next to his chest. Making her hear his loud heartbeat.
"Hiroto... A-Are you dating anyone in your world..."
She asked as she looked up at him. Looking at him with an anxious yet hopeful expression on her face.
[How do you expect a hardcore neet to have a chance to go out with someone?]
'Shut the fuck up system!!'
Hiroto angrily shouted inside his mind before looking at Maple who was looking at him with a pitiful expression on her face while her hands was placed on his chest.
"I'm not dating anyone..."
"Really!?"
She asked with a bright expression on her face. Making Hiroto nod his head as she sweetly smile in front of him
"Y-You're not dating anyone... T-That's good"
She whispered to herself as she lowered her head and leaned it against his chest. Making Hiroto resist the urge to just hug her. Afraid that she would react negatively to his advances
"S-So, why did you agree to come with me? You even left your family and friends behind..."
"N-Nothing will happen to them like you said... a-and... it's because... you're here..."
She said as her voice slowly became quieter, causing her ears to turn red. Making Hiroto smile as he mustered up his courage and hugged her in his arms. Making Maple flinch in surprise, but didn't stopped him. Wrapping her own arms around his back as she buried her face on his chest.
"Maple-"
"Kaede"
She said as she looked at Hiroto with a slight frown on her face. Making Hiroto look at her in confusion.
"Honjo Kaede... T-That's my real name... S-So call me by my real name, Hiroto..."
She said, causing Hiroto avert his eyes from her while scratching his cheek.
"M-Ma-"
"Kaede"
She stubbornly said as her arms tightened around him.
"K-Kaede..."
"... One more time..."
"Kaede"
"O-One more..."
"Kaede..."
Hiroto said, causing Maple to show a sweet and joyful smile at his direction. Making Hiroto blush, causing him to cover his face with the back of his hand.
"Hehehe"
She cutely laughed while looking at his red ears. Making her snuggle in his arms, causing Hiroto to fake a cough as he changed the subject.
"Kaede... what kind of mansion do you want?"
He asked, causing Kaede to look at him in confusion from his sudden question.
"Why are you asking for something like that so suddenly?"
"We can't live in this small apartment together, right? I want to buy a mansion for us... Just say what kind of mansion you want and I'll buy it for you"
He said as he caressed her soft black hair, causing her to look at him in surprise.
"Are you rich in this world, Hiroto?"
"... Kind of... but I know for sure that I can provide for you so that you'll get to live lavishly... So, what kind of mansion do you want?"
"... I'm already comfortable here, Hiroto. There's no need for you to buy a mansion. It's not good to waste too much money you know"
"I'm not wasting money... that's why don't hold back"
He assured, causing Kaede to contemplate. Looking at his serious expression before she buried her face on his neck.
"... I-I'll leave it to you..."
"... Then, do you want a pool?"
He asked, causing Kaede to nod her head in response. Making him look at the direction of the system.
[Conversion of status and skills is still under process]
"System... Can you show me a good recommendation for a mansion?"
[What theme would you wish your home to have?]
"Uh... What's your recommendations, I guess?"
He asked, causing two large images of a luxurious mansions appeared in front of him. Making him look at the system in surprise.
[The mansion can either be built from scratch or bought whole. I recommend it for you to build it from scratch so that you can choose and obtain a large land for yourself. Since there is a large possibility of many different characters living in your house]
The system said, causing Hiroto to nod his head in understanding. Looking at the recommendation of the system.
"That means... I can ask for 2 mansions to be built when I choose the land, right?"
[The second one will cost you 10 system points. Only the first mansion is free. You won't need to but any furnitures since the organisation will do that themselves to fit the theme of the mansion]
The system said. Making Hiroto sigh before pointing at one of the system's recommendations.
"I want this one"
[I recommend you to buy 3 mansions, host... Since you will be taking home a lot of characters in the future. It's recommended that you prepare youself to those kinds of situation]
The system said as it showed the 3 large mansions in front him. Making the him look at the system in astonishment.
"What the fuck will I do with 3 mansions?"
[Just trust me host... I'll install an auto cleaning runes around the mansion so that you won't need to maintain it yourself]
"... Seriously... What will I do with that large property?"
[I'll give you a 50% discount for the two mansions]
"I'll think about it in the future, alright? I just want this one for now"
Hiroto said, causing the system to pause while looking at his stubborn expression. Making it helplessly follow his orders.
[Please give us 1 week to find a suitable land and to finish reconstruction of this mansion]
The system said as it recorded down the mansion that Hiroto chose. Making him look at the system in surprise.
"You'll build this in one week? You have to be joking, right?"
He said while pointing at the 3 images in front of him while Kaede look at the display in awe. Showing a wide 2 story luxurious mansion with 2 glass pools. Making her glance at Hiroto with a look of hesitation on her face.
[The construction team of the organisation consists of other system holders. So it is possible to build this within a few days. Just wait and hang out with this girl in that time span host]
The system assured as Kaede pulled his sleeves. Making him look down at her, causing him to see her conflicted expression.
"I-Is it really alright for me to live in there?"
She asked in uncertainty, causing Hiroto to smile at her direction. Patting her head as his other hand was wrapped around her waist.
"Of course, everything that I own is also yours. This will be our home from now on"
He said, causing Kaede to blush from his bold statement like he was declaring that she was his wife.
[Quite a bold statement, host]
'... Well... I dragged her here after all, so it's only natural that I'll be the one to take care of her, right? It's better if she feels comfortable with it, that's why I said everything is also her property'
[... So that's what you meant...]
The system said before glancing at Maple who was muttering gibberish with her head lowered.
"Hiroto!! Where in the world have you been!?!? I got a call from your school last night!! What do you think you're doing skipping your classes!?"
A loud voice of a woman echoed from outside the apartment. Making Hiroto flinch in response as his door was suddenly kicked open. Revealing a beautiful woman with long blue hair. Looking around the room to find Hiroto.
"You shitty neet-"
His sister shouted but froze when she saw Kaede hugging his brother. Making her drop the baseball bat in her arms as a look of shock appeared on her face.
"Oh no..."
Hiroto said before his sister suddenly punched him in the face. Smashing his head against the wall as his sister was looking at Kaede like she was angel. Making her nervously fidget in her seat.
"Hiroto... Why didn't you tell me that you got yourself a cute girlfriend!?"
She angrily shouted before holding Kaede's hand.
"G-Girlfriend..."
She muttered as her face flushed. Not denying her assumption as his sister looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"What's your name? How long have you two been dating? When did you two meet?"
She hurriedly asked, causing Kaede to get overwhelmed by her questions as her eyes spun. Making Hiroto push her sister away from her.
"Don't bother her you fucking gorilla"
"Huh? What the fuck did you say useless brother of mine?"
She angrily said as vein buldge out of her forehead. Making Hiroto choke on his words as he saw her menacing expression.
"Is this why you haven't gone to school for the past month? I thought you got rejected"
"Rejected?"
Kaede asked while glancing at Hiroto who was hugging her protectively.
"Y-You confessed to another girl?"
She asked as she felt slightly annoyed as she imagined Hiroto confess his love to another girl. Making her chest tighten as she looked at him with a pained expression on her face.
"Sister, please don't tell her this nonsense!"
"Nonsense? It's the reason why you became a neet, how can you call it nonsense..."
She said with a frown on her face, causing Hiroto's eyes to tremble. Making Kaede notice the sudden shift in his emotions.
"Hiroto?"
She asked as her pained expression was replaced with worry. Holding his cheeks with her hands.
"I'm fine... I just remembered an unpleasant memory... that's all..."
He said. Making his sister grin while looking at their close relationship. Grabbing her phone from her pocket before she contacted their parents.
"Mom, I got some good news"
"Oy!! What the fuck are you doing!?"
Hiroto shouted as he stood up and tried to grab her phone away. Making her step back to dodge his arm with a wide smirk on her face.
"What? Are you planning on hiding your girlfriend from our parents?"
She said before glancing at Kaede. Making her pull Hiroto away as they stepped inside the bathroom. Leaving Kaede alone who looked at them in astonishment.
"What's wrong with you-"
"Do you even know how worried mom and dad is about you?"
She asked with a frown. Cutting him off before she could even finish his sentence.
"You haven't contacted any of us for a month. After you confessed to that bitch, everything just went down the drain. What the hell are you doing with your life, Hiroto?"
"..."
Hiroto remained silent as he bit his lip. Making his sister sigh as she held her forehead.
"... I heard what happened at school... Hiroto... Why didn't you tell any of us about this? Are we even your family?"
"... It's a mess I caused myself... I don't want to bother you or our parents about it..."
He said, causing his sister to look at him with a helpless expression on her face.
"Do you want to transfer to another school? I think it's much better than letting you experience the rest of your senior high like this..."
"No... I'll handle this myself, sis... I just needed some time to cool off"
Hiroto assured. Looking at his sister with a serious expression on his face.
"... Fine... I'll talk with your teachers tomorrow to give you a week off"
She said as she crossed her arms beneath her chest.
"Sis, I forgot to ask this but... Were you the one who cleaned my room?"
"No, mom came here a few minutes ago and cleaned your room"
His sister said, causing Hiroto to frown in response.
"What time is it now?"
"It's 9:00 in the morning... Didn't we give you an alarm clock?"
His sister said, causing Hiroto's eyes to widen as confusion devoured his entire face. Making his sister look at him with a weird expression on her face.
"Is something bothering you?"
His sister asked, causing Hiroto to raise his hand in front of her in response.
"N-Nothing... C-Can you lend Kaede a few of your clothes? She doesn't have any clothes right now, so... I hope you can lend her a few in the meantime. I'll buy her a few clothes with my own money later on"
"... I can, I still need to go home and pick it up"
"T-That's fine. We'll wait for you here"
He said as she looked at him in suspicion. Finding that something was strange about him before reluctantly leaving the bathroom.
"... Sure... I'll be quick"
She said. Leaving Hiroto inside as he locked the door.
"System, only 30 minutes passed in this place!?
[The time in the dimension your diving into will be accelerated in comparison to the time in this one. Thanks to this, we can adjust the time ratio between yours and different dimensions. We can't allow you to go missing for prolonged periods of time or else it might alert your acquaintances in this dimension]
[If, for example, you'll dived into a dimension where the main quest has a limit of 30 years... We will adjust the time ratio so that 1 year in that dimension is 2 minutes in this one. This is thanks to the complications that the previous host experienced in the past. So adjustments were made to solve this issue]
The system explained before a sudden notification appeared in front of him.
[Conversion has been completed]
[Would you like to see the notifications?]
The system asked, causing Hiroto to pick yes without hesitation. Making a large string of notifications to appear in front of him that covered his entire sight, causing him to unconsciously smile in excitement.
