Chapter 24 Asking for Remuneration from Mana The crack was gradually expanding, and Sawayama Haruno stared blankly at the glass in his hand. This was not the first time he received a reward from the system, but it was the first time that he received a reward that directly affected his body. Moreover, he did not even notice the changes in himself. He used normal strength to hold the cup, but it caused damage that almost broke it. "Hey Haruno, your hand?!" In the end, it was Mana Miyazawa who was sitting next to them who uttered a cry of surprise. She quickly snatched the glass from Sawayama Haruno's hand and checked his hand with a worried look to see if he had any injuries or cuts. "There's no bleeding, does it hurt?" “No, I’m fine.” Sawayama Haruno still couldn't come back to his senses. He was carefully feeling the power that had appeared in his body earlier, but no matter how hard he felt, he could not detect any abnormality, as if the reward given by the system had become a part of his body. This is too amazing! Sawayama Haruno feels complicated.
It seems that his previous judgment was wrong. He should not underestimate this system too much. He should re-plan his plan to further investigate the "truth" and pay more attention to it earlier. After all, as the saying goes, health is much more important than things like money. While he was still thinking, the waiter appeared with the dishes. Seeing this, Miyazawa Mana pointed at the glass that was almost broken and complained angrily. Of course, the waiter looked confused, but after checking the cups, he apologized to the two of them hesitantly and offered a discount on the meal. Sawayama Haruno felt a little bit reluctant at first, after all, this was also related to his failure to control his strength in the first time, but Miyazawa Mana sat beside him and kept pulling his hand, hinting him not to speak, and finally he had no choice but to accept the fact. "Really? How can 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 customer's palm." "I'm really fine." Zeshan Haruno was even more helpless. He took a few glances at the dishes served and said comfortingly, "Let's eat first. I'm a little hungry too." As he said this, he turned his gaze to his right hand which was being held by Miyazawa Mana. Noticing his gaze, the other person's face suddenly became a little shy, and the voice no longer sounded resentful as before, but seemed to be inexplicably guilty. ".good." She let go of Sawayama Haruno'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 accidentally exposed in her haste, or maybe she was thinking about her own habits and her younger sister Maki, after letting go, Miyazawa Mana seemed a little silent, and looked a little absent-minded when eating. Sawayama Haruno had no intention of speaking either. He was looking at the cutlery in front of him with some hesitation, wondering if he had accidentally bent it when he picked it up. Phew, try carefully. Sawayama Haruno held his breath and picked up the knife and fork more gently than before. Fortunately, this time, the "glass accident" did not happen again. It seemed that he just needed to be careful about his suddenly doubled strength. I don't know how strong I am now. Although I didn't exercise at all in the past, I'm definitely not as strong as a muscular man. I really want to check my physical condition now. Sawayama Haruno carefully put a piece of beef into his mouth, chewing while thinking about the system. The next reward is an increase in skills, but it doesn't say what skills they are. Maybe the system wants to increase all of my skills. If that's the case, this task has to be completed.
Solve the urgent problem? "I say, Mana." Sawayama Haruno swallowed the small piece of beef and reorganized his words and said, "Have your family members calmed down?" "Ok?" Hearing Sawayama Haruno's sudden question, Miyazawa Mana couldn't help but stop, but her face showed some indescribable embarrassment. "not yet" Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly and said, "Mother has been stern these days, and father doesn't want to intervene in our affairs, so..." "Is it better to let Maki go home first?" Seeing her say that, Zeshan Haruno whispered, "After all, you haven't been home for two nights. If you don't go back, your mother will probably be worried, right?" “I’m not necessarily worried” Miyazawa Mana smiled a little bit forcedly: "I feel that we can't let Maki go back so soon, especially since we just separated not long ago. If the two of them say something else in anger, it might be more troublesome. More importantly, " At this point, she paused, and her tone became somewhat guilty: "More importantly, it's because of me. Now I don't know how to face Maki. I always feel that if I appear in front of her now, it is likely to make her even angrier." Said it right. Sawayama Haruno thought that this was exactly what Mine Shiori said. The other party’s judgment is also to separate for a while, wait until the anger has subsided and they have thought it through, and then sit down and have a good talk. According to his observation, it is indeed not appropriate to let Maki return to her original family now. Unless I find a way to mediate and try to resolve Miyazawa Maki's "problem" as soon as possible. "Then you can stay at my house for a while, if you feel comfortable with it." Sawayama Haruno spoke up. He said gently, "No matter what, you can't leave her alone outside. It would be terrible if something bad happened to her." Well, apart from this most important factor, there are also system tasks, and everything that can be completed from now on must be completed. I had always wanted to help solve this problem, not to mention that now I had such a generous reward. No matter from which point of view I looked at it, there was no reason to ignore Miyazawa Maki's matter. However, it is not appropriate to say it directly. After all, you cannot show that you will help the other party unconditionally and without bottom line. Miyazawa Maki has spent a lot of his money in the past two days, so he might as well take this opportunity to ask Miyazawa Mana to pay some "living expenses" for his sister. "Will it be too much trouble for you?" Hearing Sawayama Haruno say this, Miyazawa Mana felt a little embarrassed. “It’s such a willful request.” "This request is easy to make. Maki is the only one who is willful, but..." At this point, Sawayama Haruno deliberately dragged out his tone, revealed a playful smile and said: "Taking care of Maki also requires a lot of effort, so. What kind of reward does Mana plan to give me?"
