Edited by Owner,

  After an entire week of school being suspended, today, it’s doors opened once again .

  “Good morning, Kamiya-kun . ”


  “Morning, Kamaishi . ”


  Like usual, Kamaishi greeted me as I entered the classroom and took my seat .

  “School has finally started . What did you do this week, Kamiya-kun?”


  “Let’s see, I read some books and took some naps through the day, that’s it . ”


  “As expected, of course . ”


  A bitter smile showed up on Kamaishi’s face .

  I couldn’t tell her that I was actually flying in the sky and eating delicious ramen .

  Leaving aside the ramen, how am I supposed to tell her about me flying? That wouldl only make me look like some weirdo .

  “What about you, Kamaishi-san?”


  “I helped my mom in the house and read . ”


  “As expected from you, huh . ”


  A short while after our friendly chat, the bell chimed, announcing the beginning of class .

  Right when they heard that sound, all of the student went to their seats and took out their books .

  I wasn’t sure if it applied to other schools, but ours gave the students an extra 10 minutes to read a book .

  At such times, I used to pick my light novel for a read, but things were different then .

  What I was geared to read at the moment was an English vocabulary book .

  As for the reason, that was because I had a hardship in understanding foreign languages when I was doing my flight training that day .

  I could’ve just listened to that survivor speaking to me until I acquire a skill, but honestly, it felt really depressed to do so, and so, I ended up teleporting him away .

  In short, I was now reading this vocabulary book to obtain an appropriate skill . As I read, the guy next to me looked at me with an unusual expression, but I decided to ignore him .

  I easily read through the book .

  Huh? Wait a second,

  and not

  ?

  I bewildered for a moment, but I regained my composure . I was a reading and English book, so it’s only natural that I get an English skill .

  Obtaining an all-language skill for reading only an English book is impossible, after all .

  If that’s the case, didn’t that mean that I would need to get a basic knowledge of any language if I wanted to get a comprehension skill in it?

  It looked as if I wouldn’t be able to have all of them at the moment . I was about to give up when suddenly, I hit upon something .

  Maybe if I leveled it up,

  could turn into

  Without further delay, I resumed reading to give it a try .

  No, I was wrong . C’mon, that’s not what I wanted! So it is impossible, after all . No, wait! I’m not giving up at this point . There’s still a chance .

  Not yet giving up, I went to resume reading once again .

  However, as I awaited, the second level up took a considerable amount of time . I read through double the pages this time .

  Oh, Exactly what I’m seeking for!

  I instantly went to check the description of the new skill .

  Oh, that’s it! That’s what I desired . I didn’t really care about that last effect, but this is good .

  The bell chimed right after I finished reading the description . The homeroom teacher entered the classroom and started today’s class .

  Morning class had ended and it had now become our lunch break . I got invited by Kamaishi to eat with her, and we both moved to the roof .

  We sat at the same habitual bench and enjoyed our time chatting while eating from our lunch boxes . Until Kamaishi asked me an abrupt question .

  “Come to think of this, Kamiya-kun . Do you do house chores?”


  “House chores? Never done that . ”


  “Didn’t you ever think about doing it one day?”


  “Well, in my house, rather than never having the need to do it, I can’t . ”


  My mom is not only a professional chef, but also a specialist in housework . She doesn’t leave the least bit of dust and does a perfect laundry that makes me doubt if my clothes were replaced with new ones sometimes .

  Honestly, I don’t get a chance to help out . Unlike me, Karen does help her every once in a while since she inherited her skills . Guess that’s something intrinsical, that’s why I couldn’t help .

  Well, I could have just obtained a skill that allows me to do so at least, though that would have been meaningless anyway . Not to mention, it’s a troublesome task .

  “Hee, Your mom is really great . ”


  “She’s close to being perfect, after all . ”


  “Yeah . But didn’t you think about doing it?”


  “Hm, I have thought that it would be nice if I could help out . ”


  I would be able to make something to eat whenever I want and all . Well, that’s if I can do housework .

  “Your mom didn’t teach you how to do house chores?”


  “No, she gets a bit strict when it comes to cooking and stuff so I didn’t bother to ask her . ”


  I’d rather work to obtain a skill than asking my mother to teach me .

  When I answered her, Kamaishi started glancing at my face while looking as if she want to say something .

  “I-In that case, want me, to, you know, teach you how to cook? Maybe . ”


  No, that’s a pain, so I refuse .

  Of course, there’s no way I’d straightly turn down her offer like this . Stop looking at me with those eyes fill of expectations! You’re making it harder on me to refuse .

  “N-No?”


  As I remained silent, Kamaishi’s face darkened and her voice gradually dropped off ……

  Looks like I can’t turn this one down .

  “Well then, please . ”


  Just when I gave her an affirmative reply, Kamaishi regained her cheerful expression with a “Yaay”, seeming exceedingly joyful .

  What’s this obligatory route? It was impossible to avoid!

  “Now that it was decided, where are you going to teach me?”


  “You can come over my place . Mom is not coming back until late this night . ”


  “Okay, so today I will be coming to your place . ”


  “Yes, let’s do our best . ”


  “Ah, un . Yeah . ”


  It will probably end only a few minutes after I start . If I learn it as a skill, I’d become able to do mostly everything .

  Meanwhile Kamaishi was making a triumphant pose for some reason, I was sitting next to her taking a deep sigh while imagining the troubles I’m about to go through .
