A numb sensation spread through Riku's legs.
Emi slowly lifted her head.With her finger, she wiped the cum from the corner of her mouth and brought it to her lips.
With a soft swallow, a satisfied smile appeared on Emi's face.
"Riku-kun really is amazing. Now hurry up and drive; parking here is dangerous, you know."
Riku quickly started tidying up, thinking to himself,
You're the dangerous one here, doing something like that while I'm driving.
Emi, acting as if nothing had happened, sat comfortably in the passenger seat.
By the time they reached Riku's place, it was already three in the morning. Emi hinted at coming upstairs to 'sit for a while.'
Riku flatly refused.
He hadn't eaten properly since yesterday morning, and the night's events had worn out even his iron constitution.
After seeing Emi off, Riku went back inside.
He made himself a cup of instant noodles, ate, and crashed immediately.
When he woke up the next day,
the narrator's voice echoed in his mind once more, and a status panel appeared before his eyes.
"Having completed the rooftop villain action last night, your physical condition has been comprehensive upgraded. All attributes increased by 3 points."
"You have obtained a special title: Shameless Thief."
"Shameless Thief: In special environments, the rationality of women you come into contact with will rapidly decrease. You will gain varying degrees of affection based on your actions (Essential for a Villain Expert)."
What the hell?!
Riku was shocked!
The blond narrator had actually granted him a title with real effects and a bunch of stat boosts.
He felt his body brimming with energy, nothing like someone who'd stayed up until dawn.
Could it be...
Riku finally understood. The narrator had systematic abilities too.
He'd previously just thought the narrator spouted weird, villainous ideas.
He always felt like it was trying to lead him to jail.
But in reality, completing those actions yielded special rewards.
Like intercepting Haru and Emi on the rooftop.
Riku smacked his forehead.
He'd been way too conservative.
Now he felt like he was onto something.
The powerful blond narrator, combined with the godly rich rebate system.
This was the perfect life.
Thinking back on his previous twenty years of timid living, Riku felt like he'd missed out on a fortune.
He decided that on his way to school, he'd try out one of the narrator's less risky plans.
Just to test if completing the narrator's prompts would give special rewards.
Riku started washing up.
The attribute boost wasn't just physical; his height had even increased by a few centimeters.
The most direct feedback was the clarity in his mind – no longer that foggy feeling.
His thinking was sharper.
This must be the effect of the increased intelligence stat.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Riku had the illusion he was even handsomer than before.
But that wasn't important.
Beep beep beep...
Riku checked his phone.
As soon as he unlocked it, he was greeted by 99+ messages from Nurse Emi.
Most were useless concerned messages.
Asking things like "Riku-kun, are you awake yet?"
"Riku-kun, remember to eat breakfast."
"Riku-kun, remember to eat on time."
"Riku-kun, are you free tonight..."
And so on...
Scrolling through, he also found a message from Haru.
She said that, thanks to her efforts, most of the coerced nurses had decided to send the head doctor to prison.
But it also meant that both her and Emi's nursing jobs were likely gone. They would temporarily have no place to live.
She said she'd figure something out, though.
Riku picked up his phone and started typing.
"You can come to me for anything. My apartment is pretty big; you can stay here temporarily."
......
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Haru's phone received the message from Riku.
But the one holding Haru's phone was her younger sister, Emi.
A sly smile spread across Emi's face.
"Just as I thought, Riku-kun would say that. This way, my sister and I can both live with Riku-kun! Perfect!"
Emi giggled, oblivious that her sister had come up behind her.
"Emi, what are you grinning about?"
The sudden appearance startled Emi so much she nearly dropped the phone.
"N-nothing..."
"Are you up to no good?"
Emi quickly changed the subject.
"How's the thing with that woman going?"
"It's settled. The police are here, interviews are happening in the conference room now. But Emi, we might lose our jobs."
Emi seemed to have expected this.
She held up her sister's phone and wagged it.
"Heehee, don't worry. I've already got a plan."
After her younger sister left,
Haru looked at the message Emi had secretly sent to Riku and sighed helplessly.
"That Emi..."
Haru didn't reply to Riku; it was just her sister's mischief.
But she felt a mix of trepidation and anticipation herself.
Towards the one who had taken her first time, Haru did have feelings.
"Let things take their course."
.........
Walking to school, the narrator's voice in Riku's head started up again.
"A young married woman running a stall by the roadside. You notice the fading ring mark on her ring finger – recently divorced, working alone to support herself, probably has a daughter or son to raise. With a hint of that certain... inclination, you decide to skip school, observe her secretly, follow her into a special alley, perfectly utilize the 'Shameless Thief' title, and have her eating out of the palm of your hand..."
Riku stopped in his tracks.
Now that he had the 'Shameless Thief' ability, he could actually do this.
His gaze fell on the young woman at the stall.
A small cart by the street. She wore a grey short-sleeve shirt, damp with sweat that outlined her perfect figure, attracting quite a few customers.
Hah~
"What a gem."
......
Two hours later.
Aokage Kaguya finally finished selling all her handmade goods for the day.
Now, she needed to head to her part-time job at a maid café.
Since losing her husband, the entire burden of supporting her family had fallen on her shoulders.
Wiping the sweat from her brow, Aokage Kaguya packed up her stall and prepared to take a shortcut home.
As she passed the entrance of an alley, a powerful, large hand grabbed her arm and yanked her inside.
"Madam, you wouldn't want your daughter to find out about this, would you?"
A burly man, thick with fat, wore a tattered white T-shirt and a yellow hard hat – textbook creep.
"H-help... help!"
The creep's thick hand clamped over Aokage Kaguya's mouth.
"Madam, won't you think about your daughter? Just once, I promise. Just once, and I'll never bother you again!"
The burly man pulled a stack of photos from his pocket and scattered them on the ground.
They were clearly various candid photos of Aokage Kaguya and her daughter.
In that moment, Aokage Kaguya froze.
"Just once! Only once!"
Seeing her stop struggling, the creep grew excited, the fat on his face trembling.
