Chapter 3

Yumiko Miura's invitation was unexpected.

Su Yu didn't understand why she would invite him, but to get the reward, he definitely had to go.

Given Yumiko Miura's character, he should be able to get at least a 30% favorability rating.

That would be an A-level reward.

In the following classes,

Su Yu stopped daydreaming and focused on his lessons, diligently reading his books.

Even during breaks, he didn't forget to review his previous notes.

The benefits of memory enhancement allowed him to remember a lot of things, which should be quite useful for exams.

...

The bell signaling the end of school rang.

Yumiko Miura approached Su Yu; she and Haino Kibana had already discussed it.

Yui Yuigahama walked over, her expression complicated.

She had originally intended to refuse.

However, Yumiko Miura told her that Su Yu's parents had met with an accident, leaving him alone.

This made her somewhat reluctant to refuse.

"Su Yu-kun, these are my two good friends, Kibana and Yuigahama," Yumiko Miura introduced.

"I know their names," Su Yu said after a pause.

At that moment, he guessed the reason for Yumiko Miura's invitation.

"Su Yu-kun, which school did you attend before? Was it a school over there?" Haino Kibana asked curiously.

"I used to attend an ordinary school in Tokyo and have been living here for a long time," Su Yu replied.

"I see Su Yu-kun reading books during breaks and seem to go somewhere during lunch. Are you part of any club, Su Yu-kun?" Haino Kibana continued.

"I joined the Literature Club, a club where I can read quietly," Su Yu said as he packed his school bag.

"Is it the club that Yuki-senpai is in?" Haino Kibana was somewhat surprised.

Su Yu nodded and walked out of the classroom.

"Do you and Yuki-senpai have a good relationship?"

Haino Kibana became even more curious.

"We don't talk much; we usually just read quietly," Su Yu shook his head.

"Do you like Yuki-senpai?" Haino Kibana smiled and glanced at Yui Yuigahama.

Yui Yuigahama seemed to want to know the answer as well, staring intently at Su Yu.

"I like all beautiful things. If this kind of liking counts, then I like her," Su Yu hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Su Yu-kun's answer is really interesting," Haino Kibana pushed her glasses up and gave Yui Yuigahama a look that said, "You have a chance."

Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, blushing.

The four of them walked to the shoe lockers.

Su Yu changed his shoes and was about to leave when his phone rang.

He glanced at it; it was an unknown number, and he instinctively wanted to hang up.

Suddenly, he remembered the rental ad he had posted in front of the apartment building recently.

Apart from his room, the other five rooms were still vacant.

A three-story apartment with six rooms, living alone was a waste.

Based on the rental prices he knew, renting out just one room would earn him at least 800,000 yen per year.

With this in mind, Su Yu answered the call.

"Hello, are you the landlord of Sakura-so? I want to rent a room here; can I take a look?" a familiar voice came from the phone.

Su Yu was stunned for a few seconds.

"Ms. Hirasawa?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm Su Yu, the transfer student. Sakura-so was left to me by my parents, and I am currently the landlord," Su Yu explained briefly.

"..." Hirasawa was taken aback.

Then, she remembered Su Yu's situation and quickly regained her composure.

"Su Yu-kun, since it's your apartment and it's so close to the school, I'll definitely rent it."

"Please wait for ten minutes," Su Yu glanced at the three girls behind him.

"No problem, I'll wait for you here," Hirasawa's tone was gentle.

Su Yu hung up and looked at the three girls approaching.

"Miura-san, can I take up some of your time? Someone wants to rent a room in my apartment, and it's Ms. Hirasawa. The apartment is not far from here, only about 500 meters away."

"Your apartment?" The three girls were taken aback.

"It was left to me by my parents. I chose to transfer to Chiba High because the apartment is very close to the school," Su Yu explained.

"Can we take a look?" Yumiko Miura was very curious.

"Of course, I was planning to let you come along anyway, as long as you don't mind," Su Yu nodded.

"Su Yu-kun, I've never been to a boy's house before. Can I see your room after we get there?" Haino Kibana looked interested.

"As long as you don't search under my bed, you can see my room."

"Is there something hidden under Su Yu-kun's bed?"

"Some of my memories," Su Yu said slowly.

Haino Kibana's smile gradually faded.

No matter what kind of memories, they shouldn't be touched casually.

...

On the way to Sakura-so.

Actually, the name "Sakura-so" was chosen by Su Yu, inspired by an anime.

Although that anime doesn't exist in this world, the name does sound good.

Moreover, there is a cherry blossom tree in Sakura-so, which fits the name well.

Su Yu's identity was given by the system, and both his parents and Sakura-so were part of it.

This identity is real, but Su Yu has no memories of his parents.

In other words, he had crossed over and received a real identity, allowing him to deceive anyone in this world.

The four of them walked in silence.

When they passed a convenience store,

Su Yu stopped.

"Please wait a moment," he said to the three girls and walked into the store.

"Yuigahama, what do you think?" Haino Kibana asked Yui Yuigahama when Su Yu entered the store.

"I... I don't know," Yui Yuigahama blushed.

She didn't know, but she had developed a bit of curiosity about Su Yu.

"Why are you so shy if you don't know?" Haino Kibana teased.

"I... I just..."

"Yuigahama, seize the opportunity," Yumiko Miura said to Yui Yuigahama.

"Su Yu-kun's situation is quite good. Having an apartment here, the rent alone would surpass most office workers. If Yuigahama marries Su Yu-kun, she would likely become a gentle and virtuous housewife. I envy you, Yuigahama," Haino Kibana said with a smile.

"Kibana..."

"Unfortunately, I already have Yama-kun, or I would be tempted too," Yumiko Miura covered her mouth and laughed.

"Yumiko..."

Yui Yuigahama covered her face.

Being teased by the two of them, she seemed to be looking forward to married life...

No, no!

She and Su Yu hadn't even spoken much, how could she be thinking about married life?

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I bought some snacks and drinks, I hope they won't be too boring," Su Yu's voice rang out.
