[KANEKI REN'S POV]

"Good Morning, guys"

"…"

As soon as I reached toward my seat, I greeted my heroines who all have somewhat grumpy look on their faces… What the hell happened?

"Um --"

"Hmph"

As I sat down on my seat, I turned my face and tried to ask Horikita-san, who is not reading her book just as she usually does… Same could be said for Yukinoshita-san, she is also not reading her book but her expression is not like a tsundere, as she is glaring daggers at me…

When I turned my face away from them, I noticed Komi-san, whose head is down and fidgeting a little… What is with this atmosphere…? Wait, maybe I can ask Shikimori-san about all this… With this thought in mind, I turned my body to meet the intense and dark gaze of Shikimori-san… Her hands are folded around her chest; one leg is on another and has a deep scowl on her face… Oh, she is also angry, huh…

Well, whatever. Let's get things together, so that I could find the 'suspect'…

Yesterday, after successfully returning the lunch box to the flustered Shiina-san… I came back to my room, having a thought in my mind that 'is there really no one present there?'… While I was talking for a bit with Shiina-san, I heard some *crack* sound coming from the stairs, which is near the elevator, but I didn't think of chasing after him because if he will be a suspicious person, who might be spying on me then my co-workers will take care of him, as my so-called 'long vacation' is going on so I don't have the 'right' to handle these things… I can only do something if there is some emergency…

Just as my age reached 16 years, everyone there congratulated me but not because of my birthday, but for my vacation, I am going to get… Some were jealous, while some told me things I should do during this vacation… Well, my vacation is nothing like what a worker or anyone else gets, it's just that since I must have to attend high school because this time of our life 'helps' us to change… And it's my sensei's wish also, so I was like 'okay, why not?'… Until now, I didn't find any 'value' in this school though. Because of my ideology, 'if you are already a subject of White Room, then why waste time doing valueless things' and in my perspective, this school is nothing but a simple place for me even if I made some 'valuable' tools here, they will not carry that much importance in my work, nor in this world… So, I am here just because someone forced me to 'learn', and to the fact that, a worthless system sitting around in my mind, which is just forcing me to 'conquer' these girls…

I, once again, saw my seatmate's reaction on their face but there is no change on it… Just what the hell happened…? As seeing them like this, my head is also started to hurt a bit… What a shitty system…!

…

There are still five students, who have yet to come… There is only 10 minutes left from the class to start…

I am waiting for the class to start, so that my heroines' attention could move from me to the sensei, teaching us… 'If one of my heroine is angry or afraid of me for some reasons, I will get a serious headache which can be only be cured if their attention went to another thing or if I will try to solve things out…'

Good Grief… But why are they angry at me…?

And at that time, the five girls came inside the classroom… I only know two of them from the group, Yuigahama-san and Sato-san; I don't know the else… But they are behaving somewhat different today, they are all silent…

Then they, simultaneously, turned their face toward my direction… What is this development…?

When their eyes met with mine, one by one, they immediately shuddered… Then two of the girls, walked towards me, one is from the group of five and other is from… she is from another class… As I haven't seen in this class, and she has 'big' chest, I see…

"Um, Kaneki-san I am sorry…"

"Yes sorry, sorry Kaneki-san…"

"What's the matter? Why are you guys apologizing?"

"Well…"

[YOU HAVE UNLOCKED HEROINE [RENA ASAGI]]

[RENA ASAGI [JACK OF ALL TRADES]

AFFECTION: 2 (NORMAL GUY!)]

Good Grief… This system…

…

After system unlocked, the big chest girl, who has now become my heroine, introduced herself and other girl to me… After that, Asagi-san started to tell me about the rumor, she spread because she wanted to earn money… Good Grief, what a weird girl…

She told me that a certain girl saw me, patting the head of Shiina Mahiru in front of her apartment… And that girl told Asagi-san about it, then Asagi-san told her friend, which is also the monitor, or class representative, of her class… The class representative of her class seems to be the type of person who somewhat hates me… I asked Asagi-san about her friend's name but she just grinned at me and said it is 'confidential'…

The main problem is that, now everyone in this school knows about that little interaction of me with Mahiru Shiina, yesterday… Now, that I think about, is this reason why my seatmates are behaving like this…?

"So, sorry Kaneki-san…"

"Huh, well --"

As I was going to reply to her apology, the time stopped… My surroundings came to rest; some students had their mouth opened while some has half-opened eyes… I am quite concern about this power of mine, I mean what if someone wants to kill someone or anything like that, if that will become reality then I will have to kill that person… Man, this power sure is overpowered, or some also called it 'OP'…

A) Well, okay. I forgive this time, but don't do this again, okay?

B) Nah, do you seriously think that I will forgive you? Bring your class representative, who caused all of this…

C) I will forgive you, if you can offer me something, Asagi-san…

[CHOOSE CAREFULLY. IF YOU CHOOSE WRONG, YOU HAVE TO FACE CONSEQUENCES.]

Again, there are three choices I get, along with the warning… First one is something, I was just going to say, just a moment ago, and since the system stopped the time while I was saying… It only means that, it is the wrong choice… So, option A is a big 'no'…

Then second option, it is the most correct one but since I have to gain affection points from her… I don't think this option will be useful… So, option B is also 'no'…

So, the only remaining option is C… Well, let's select this as I have no other choices left…

As I tapped on the screen, the surroundings came back to normal; everyone's gaze is fixated on me…

"I will forgive you, if you can offer me something, Asagi-san…"

Upon hearing my words, Asagi-san started to hide her chest with her hands and took a step backward away from me…

"No sexual things."

"I see…"

What this woman saying… How can she think that I want to do 'sexual things' with her…? I didn't even thought about that, even a little bit… Now, what can I make her to do…? As I was lost in my thought, I didn't notice that time but all of my heroines, who are my seatmates, are staring intensely at Asagi-san…

"Well, why don't you just become my friend?"

"No --, what… a 'friend'… hmm… Okay, Kaneki-san…"

Upon hearing my first few words, she took two or three steps back… And in between she told me 'no' but when she heard the word 'friend'. She smiled beautifully and then moved her hand in front of me, asking for a handshake with me…

"Well them, now we are friends, Asagi-san…"

"Hehehe…"

[RENA ASAGI: +8 AFFECTION POINTS]

[HER IMAGE OF YOU CHANGED FROM [NORMAL GUY!] TO [FRIENDS!]]

She laughed lightly, slightly winked at me and then left the classroom, leaving the whole class dumbfounded… Well, it's natural for them to be this surprised, as when she entered the class she looked afraid but when she left the class her expression is opposite the former…

Well, this has nothing to do with me, is there? I mean –

[??????????: +5 AFFECTION POINTS]

[??????????'S IMAGE CHANGED FROM [GLOOMY GUY!] TO [INTERESTING CLASSMATE!]]

…

Who is it? I turned my face in all direction, to see that maybe I can find her but… since everyone's gaze is at me I don't seem to find her this time, also… Good Grief…

"Good Morning, everyone…"

As the whole class was silent, the sensei entered the classroom and shouted which make everyone shivered, as her voice echoed and is looking somewhat more energetic than usual… As everyone came back to the present, we all greeted her back…

"Sensei, is something good happened?"

"No, it's not… It's just that my marriage is finally arranged…"

"Oh, sensei…"

"Is he handsome?"

"Congratulations…"

And just like that, the class started…
