In A Anime World With A System That Only Works Once A Month!

The 800 yen used for 'dinner' could've lasted Lin Wu for at least two days had he bought ingredients instead.

But he doesn't know how to cook.

He's quite good at cooking instant noodles though.

Boil water, throw in noodles, open packets, throw stuff inside.

Truth be told, he had no idea how he's getting by in Home Economics. No one would be partners with him ever since that one incident, so perhaps he's getting by through the grace of the beautiful, stoic white hair tanned skin teacher. Maybe he should join the cooking club, 'she's the sponsor for that club after all...'

Or perhaps he could just part-time and get money for food that way? It'll certainly help in increasing his nonexistent purchasing power.

'Ahhhh, the coffee maker is on sale...' The impulsive buyer noticed as he scrolled through the Amazone discount section.

'But I don't drink coffee.'

'Wait, but my seniors back in the original world all drank coffee nonstop after they went to Tsinghua University. I think I might need it for when I go to college.'

Lin Wu had studied nonstop for the 'National College Entrance Examination' and had gotten a score good enough that'll land him in a top tier university which meant that jobs would be looking for him instead of the other way around.

'Instead of being a freshman in university, I'm a freshman in high school!'

All that studying went to waste!

Well technically, since the materials that he had crammed could be used for high school. He can't say he would remember them though, like many students, they study for a test and then forget everything afterwards...

And he was one of those types.

'But it's 50% off, how often does a deal like this come?' Lin Wu reasoned to himself. If he had known that the price had increased by 50% and then 'discounted' by 50%, then he would've had a completely different perspective on the matter.

'Wait, I've already used up my monthly allowance! I should be thinking about a part-time job!' He started to think of the stores nearby.

"Why don't I work in a cafe?" He said to himself.

He powered off the monitor and looked at his reflection on the screen.

His looks aren't good, but he doesn't look like an ugly bastard either!

If anything, he looks like the perfect background character! Not a side character, but a background character!

His short black hair, his dark brown eyes, his average height...

"Damn do I look plain." He smugly smiled as he appreciated his appearance.

'Wait.' He stopped.

'Don't a good chunk of anime characters work in cafes? What if I had the 'stoic classmate working in an embarrassing cafe' encounter? Isn't the cafe also a hub for drama?!'

"Ehhh, I'll just work in the convenience store, nothing happens there!" If he was going to earn minimum wage, then he might as well do minimum work!

"When was I this smar--," Lin Wu turned towards Kuoh Academy before his eyes narrowed, "They're finalising the plan to recruit Issei? Hoh, interesting, they're waiting on Naru-- Natsumi."

As long as Issei doesn't bring his girlfriend 'Yuuma' near this area for their little 'date', then he wouldn't care. It wasn't like Issei was actually going to 'die.' Well, it wasn't like 'Yuuma' was dumb enough to kill Issei in the street where the Tornado of Terror lives.

'And I really don't want to deal with Issei after that misunderstanding.' He shook his head.

Plus, he just wanted to live a carefree life so unless it impeded his a way of life, then he wouldn't interfere.

And if it does obstruct him, "I'll just burn the bridge when I get to it."

Since the monitor was already powered off, he might as well turn off the computer as well and go to sleep. Despite it being only 08:00 PM, after the encounter with the women, he was mentally drained.

As he closed the door and got on the bed, he felt as if something was off.

After staring at the ceiling in the darkroom for about two minutes, he got up!

"I forgot to do the history homework!"

As soon as he got up, he got back down!

"It's just one assignment; it's not like the old man will expel me for not doing homework, he's too nice for that."

Lin Wu closed his eyes.

Then he started snoring!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

In the dimly lit streets of the upper-class residential district, a petite green hair girl floated to the two-floor house. She pointed at the door and the door opened by itself.

The girl shook her head as she went inside the kitchen and to the fridge.

"Huh? Is he out of strawberry milk too? Why is his fridge as empty as his brain?"

This invader is his neighbour, Tatsumaki!

"Did he really eat everything inside like Pig God? I really need to talk to him ever since they passed away." Tatsumaki quickly pulled out her phone and started calling someone.

"Yes, Lady Tatsumaki? There are currently no monster sight--"

"Refill this refrigerator, the house next to mine."

"Of course, do you have the key?"

Tatsumaki shook her head in disappointment, "He never locks the door."

She started floating upstairs, waiting outside his room. She prepared herself as she slammed the door open!

"Li--," Tatsumaki saw that the lights were off, and immediately turned towards the bed before letting out a small smile, "At least he's sleeping early for once if only Fubuki would do the same."

She sighed as she used her psychokinesis on the blankets that he somehow wriggled out of to cover him fully.

As Tatsumaki floated out of the room, she looked at the door plack with the name "Lin Wu" written in green crayons.

"This is the least I can do after that happened," she said to herself before turning to the room next to his.

"And why is he using my old room as a storage room?! Don't we have a bas.e.m.e.nt?!"
