Chapter 24 Asking for payment from Mana
The cracks were gradually expanding, and Haruno Sawayama stared blankly at the glass in his hand.
This is not the first time he has received a reward from the system, but it is the first time he has received a reward that directly affects his body. Moreover, he did not even notice the changes in himself. He felt that he was holding the cup with normal strength, but It caused damage that nearly caused rupture.
"Hey Haruno, your hands?!"
In the end, Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting next to her, let out an exclamation. She quickly snatched the glass from Haruno Sawayama's hand and checked with concern whether his hand was injured or scratched.
"There's no bleeding, is it? Does it hurt?"
"No, I'm fine"
Sawayama Haruno still couldn't come to his senses.
He was carefully feeling the energy that appeared in his body before, but no matter how he felt it, he could not detect any abnormality, as if the reward given by the system had become a part of his body.
This was too awesome. Haruno Sawayama felt complicated.
It seems that his previous judgment was still wrong. He should not underestimate this system too much. If he continues to delve into the "truth", he must re-plan and pay more attention to it in advance.
After all, as the saying goes, physical aspects are much more important than money or other things.
While he was still thinking, the waiter happened to appear with the dishes. Seeing this, Miyazawa Mana pointed angrily at the almost broken glass and complained.
Of course, the waiter also had a confused look on his face, but after checking the cups, he still apologized to the two of them with some hesitation, and even offered to give them a discount for the meal.
Haruno Sawayama was originally a little bit intolerant. After all, this was related to his failure to control his strength immediately, but Miyazawa Mana sat aside and kept holding his hand, hinting him not to speak, and finally had no choice but to Reluctantly accepted the fact.
“Really, how could such a high-end restaurant use such low-quality cups?”
After the waiter apologized repeatedly and left, Miyazawa Mana was still a little depressed and said: "I almost hurt the guest's palm."
"I'm really fine."
Sawayama Haruno felt even more helpless. He took a few glances at the dishes that were served, and then comforted him: "Let's eat first, I'm a little hungry too."
As he spoke, he focused his attention on his right hand, which was being held by Miyazawa Mana.
Sensing his gaze, the other person's face suddenly became a little shy, and his voice no longer sounded resentful, but looked a little inexplicably guilty.
".good."
She let go of Haruno Sawayama's hand, but did not return to her original seat. Instead, she sat next to him and started eating.
Perhaps it was because of the "embarrassment" that she had accidentally exposed in her impatience just now, or maybe she was thinking about her own hobbies and her sister Maki's affairs. After letting go, Miyazawa Mana seemed a little silent, and her behavior when eating was also a little bit... Absent-minded.
Sawayama Haruno had no intention of speaking.
He was looking at the cutlery and cutlery in front of him hesitantly, wondering if he accidentally bent it when he picked it up, right?
Huh, try it carefully
Haruno Sawayama held his breath and picked up the knife and fork more gently than before. Fortunately, this time, the "glass accident" didn't happen again. It seemed that he only needed Just be careful of the sudden increase in strength.
I don’t know how strong my actual strength is now. Although I didn’t exercise at all in the past, I definitely don’t have anything to do with that kind of muscular man. I really want to check my physical condition now.
Haruno Sawayama He carefully brought a piece of beef to his mouth, thinking about the system while chewing.
The next reward is an increase in skills, but it didn't say what skills it is. Maybe the system wants to increase its own all-round skills. If that's the case, this task will have to be completed.
Solve the immediate problem?
"I say, Mana." Haruno Sawayama swallowed the small piece of beef, reorganized his words and said, "Have everyone in your family calmed down?"
"Um?"
Hearing Sawayama Haruno's sudden question, Miyazawa Mana couldn't help but stop, but her face looked a little awkward.
"not yet"
Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly and said: "My mother still has a straight face these days, and my father doesn't want to interfere with our children's affairs, so..."
"Is it better to let Maki go home first?"
Seeing what she said, Sawayama Haruno suggested in a low voice: "Anyway, I haven't gone back for two nights. If you don't go back, your mother will be worried, right?"
“It’s not necessary to worry”
Miyazawa Mana smiled a little forcedly: "I feel that I can't let Maki go back so soon, especially since they were separated not long ago. If the two of them said something else in anger, it might be more troublesome and even more complicated. What matters is."
At this point, she paused and her tone became a little guilty: "More importantly, it's because of me. Now I don't know how to face Maki. I always feel that if I show up now Being in front of her will probably make her even more angry."
That's quite right.
Haruye Sawayama thought that this was exactly what Mine Shiori said.
The other party's judgment is to separate for a while, wait until the anger is almost gone, and think clearly before sitting down and having a good chat.
According to his observations, it is indeed not suitable for Maki to return to her original family now.
Unless you find a way to mediate it yourself and try to get Maki Miyazawa's "problem" solved as soon as possible.
"Then continue to live in my house for a while, if you feel at ease."
Sawayama Haruno spoke.
He said gently: "No matter what you say, we can't leave her alone outside. It will be bad if something bad happens."
Well. In addition to this most important factor, there are also systematic tasks. What can be completed from now on must also be completed.
I had originally wanted to help solve this problem, not to mention that I was now exposed to such a generous reward. No matter which starting point I looked at, there was no reason to leave Maki Miyazawa's affairs alone.
However, it is not appropriate to state it directly like this. After all, you cannot show that you will help the other party unconditionally and without any bottom line.
Maki Miyazawa had spent a lot of money on him in the past two days, so he might as well take this opportunity to ask Maki Miyazawa to provide some "living expenses" for his sister.
"Would it be too much trouble for you?"
Seeing Haruno Sawayama say this, Miyazawa Mana felt a little embarrassed.
"It's obviously such a willful request."
"This request is okay. Maki is the only one who is willful, but that's it."
Speaking of this, Haruno Sawayama suddenly deliberately prolonged his tone and said with a playful smile: "It takes a lot of effort to take care of Maki, so what kind of reward does Maki plan to give me?"
".remuneration?"
