Chapter 7: Temptation
Eh? Is that true? What have they been saying about me?
In addition to Shenkawa High School, there is a university-affiliated girls' high school and an ordinary high school in the vicinity, and the three schools frequently collaborate to host various activities
We are all discussing that classmate Tamamo can support herself with her wallet, but we do not know how much it costs per month
"You didn't do anything, did you?" Saito Keisuke exclaimed in surprise
After leaving the Human Observation Department, Watanabe Toh first met up with Saito Keisuke, and then waited on the playground for Kunii Osamu, who was drenched in sweat. The three of them walked together to a nearby family restaurant
This is quite interesting, Watanabe Tohru curiously asked: "Do you like me?"
At that moment, the person in front had just finished getting their drink and walked away. Watanabe lowered his voice and said in a tone that sounded twice as pleasant:
Activity Reward: Mind Reading / 1,000,000 Points
Watanabe Toh ordered a serving of soba noodles, Saito Keisuke ordered ramen, and Kunii Osamu ate quite a lot; in addition to ramen, he also ordered steak and fries
As Watanabe Toshi was about to explain, he noticed a familiar figure at the beverage bar.
This should be a casual game, so how could there be options for such superpowers? The abilities in the store are also those that humans can acquire through learning
How is it possible for a person not to lie? It is impossible; as long as one is human, one will lie, and it is necessary to lie
In front of him stood a female high school student, possessing a model-like pert bottom and a slender waist. Out of boredom while waiting in line, she was twirling her hair around her fingers to pass the time
Mind reading
According to the fundamental spirit of game operation, the temporary event rewards are consistent with the difficulty coefficient
Although Watanabe Toh is envious of mind-reading abilities, he does not hold out much hope
I will go get some drinks. He picked up the cup and stood up
Temporary Event: Game Time April 26, 16:03, a girl claiming to see through all lies appears before you
... ...
Regarding the regulations for temporary activities, he acknowledged having read them, yet he did not retain the information, only knowing that there are no penalties for not participating
Yuzamo, with her beautifully transparent nails that violate school rules, places her hand on her alluringly sexy lips and says: "How could that be? Watanabe, you are our handsome prince of Shinkawa University, sparking much discussion among the girls."
The classroom of the club quieted down, and Watanabe Tetsu faintly heard the sharp sound of metal striking metal, the sound of a metal bat hitting a ball
The greeting was delivered in a voice that lacked vigor, yet was naturally gentle and very pleasant to hear, causing Yuzhao to instinctively turn her head.
255: Players engaging in any illegal actions in the game (including temporary events), including but not limited to kidnapping, threats, bribery, seduction, and drug use, which are unrelated to this game, shall bear the consequences themselves
Shenkawa High School is known for its handsome boys, top students, and poor country bumpkins
Watanabe Tohru happily said: "I was also preparing to introduce myself, worried that classmate Tamamo might not recognize me"
Men's conversations always revolve around these topics
"None of them." Seiya Rin shook her head, "When I was three years old, I suddenly became able to tell whether someone was lying."
Activity content: Successfully deceive the other party once
This event, with its outrageous one million points, clearly indicates a task that is nearly impossible to accomplish
This game imposes no penalties on players, including temporary events
Watanabe Toh is holding two cups, standing at the end of the line
This feeling came out of nowhere, and Watanabe Toh suspected that he had been deceived by the other person's appearance at 9 o'clock, to the extent that he believed such nonsense
Hmm—" Kunii Osamu finally swallowed the food, "You made your move? Aren't you afraid of dying? You even dare to challenge Kiyono Rin?"
Most people are curious about how others discuss their sexuality, especially those who are good-looking. Watanabe Tohru gazed at the beautiful Tamamo before him, thinking to himself.
Watanabe Toh imagined himself surrounded by people he despised ... Hmm, it would be more comfortable to spend a lifetime farming in the countryside.
The sun in Tokyo gradually sets in the west, and a flock of crows flies in from a distance, sweeping over the school buildings of Shinkawa High School. On the girl's indifferent face, there is no trace of any joking demeanor.
He is a handsome young man with a refined appearance, and the other party is also wearing the Shenkawa High School uniform— even without the uniform, Yuzumo would still recognize him
Do you hate everyone except yourself? If so, what kind of feeling is that?
Unfortunately
You have a new email
Hmm? National well, Shu has a mouthful of noodles in his mouth, making indistinct sounds
After finishing this mouthful of noodles, he finally spoke to the two curious individuals: "I have been disliked."
Temporary activities present tasks that are nearly impossible to complete, yet there are no tasks that are absolutely impossible to accomplish
The special rewards that appear in temporary events are exclusive to those events and will not refresh in the marketplace
What a coincidence, Watanabe
... ...
Of course
The difficulty of temporary activities varies, and the level of danger is uncertain. In principle, players are encouraged to participate actively, while also being reminded to approach these activities with caution
When the three of them arrived, there were already quite a few people seated in the family restaurant. There were families of all ages dining together, but the majority were students wearing uniforms from three different schools gathering for a meal
It is merely something that any human would do
Watanabe Toh has reopened the "Appendix"
Click to open
The questioning has concluded. Rin Kiyono opened the hardcover book and said, "As a formal member, you may stay, but please remain quiet"
After taking a couple of bites, Saito Keisuke said: "Watanabe, how does it feel to be alone in a room with Kiyono Rin?"
"Classmate Tamamo, are you also here to have a meal?"
The training for the baseball team has commenced
No problem
Yuzhao is beautiful; although she dislikes poor people, she is quite fond of the other party's looks, which makes her display a charming smile
Aside from Kiyono Rin, she probably wouldn't have the time or inclination to inquire about the opinions of those she dislikes regarding her.
Qingye Lin held her forehead as if in pain and said: "Are you a fish? I clearly stated just now that I dislike liars. Do you never lie, or are you insulting yourself by saying you are not human?"
However, does this confirm the fact that Qingye Lin can see through all lies? Even if it is not all lies, it is certainly not the case that just anyone can easily deceive her with a little effort
Is that so? Classmate Tamamo is the same among us boys
Watanabe Toh lifted a small amount of buckwheat noodles, rolled them in the broth, and took a bite, finding the taste mediocre, lacking the elasticity of the handmade noodles from his mother in the countryside
Incredible? I do not expect others to believe such unrealistic things. However, since that time, I have genuinely despised those who lie, while also demanding of myself that I must never engage in such behavior
Watanabe Tohru set aside matters concerning the girl and took out his textbook, pretending to study.
"I apologize, just consider this a boy's curiosity, after all, it is quite surprising to hear a girl suddenly declare that she will never lie," Watanabe Toh said, "However, there is no one in this world who can avoid lying"
Activity duration: one week
"Therefore, apart from myself, I hate everyone else," Kiyono Rin answered without hesitation
... ...
That is approximately it
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, ranging from various Japanese set meals to Western steaks, and even pasta from different countries. The selection is quite abundant, and not only are the prices affordable, but customers can also enjoy unlimited drinks with their orders
The establishment named Bawa Cafe, located at a corner of Shinjuku Avenue, is a frequent haunt for students in the vicinity
At the end of school, when Watanabe Toh closed the sliding door of the activity room, he couldn't help but take a glance at Kiyono Rin, who was engrossed in her reading.
Identifying lies? Psychology? Knowledge in facial expressions and body language? Or a combination of both?
Born into a prestigious family, possessing both beauty and intelligence, yet exhibiting a kind of stubbornness that could be described as a mental disorder
Watanabe Tohru believed from the bottom of his heart that the girl was indeed an honest person, someone who never lied
"Please pour me a glass as well." Guo Jingxiu finished his soda in one gulp and handed the cup to him
Is this matter referring to lying
