Chapter 1: First Day of Training
Chapter 1
Mr. Ito felt that his happiness had reached the peak of his life.
Today is the weekend closest to February 14th. After get off work, he mustered up the courage to send a date request to the female colleague he had a crush on for many years. The latter, Miss Hoshino, agreed with a bright smile on her face and in the eyes of many colleagues watching.
At this moment, they met in the agreed small park, blushing and not saying a word, just walking side by side on the secluded path.
Hoshino: "Ito-kun..."
Ito: "Hoshino-san, I...well, you go first."
Miss Hoshino covered her mouth and chuckled: "You should speak first."
Looking at the expectant eyes of his crush, Mr. Ito clenched his fists and turned his head abruptly, about to speak.
"Big brother, big sister, do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers?" A girl about six or seven years old, unable to understand the atmosphere, intervened between the two of them.
She tried her best to open her watery eyes, stood on tiptoe, and continued to sell hard: "You are lovers, right? Lovers should send flowers to the one they like to express their feelings!"
Miss Hoshino turned her head away proudly: "No, no way...!"
To be precise, not yet. If the girl had come a few minutes later, the result would have been different.
But the girl was too young and inexperienced to understand the deeper meaning of the words. She lowered her eyes innocently and bowed deeply to express her apology.
"Please wait for me a moment." The girl said anxiously.
Then, she pulled out a palm-sized booklet from the pocket of her dress.
The girl flipped through the pages quickly, muttering, "Chapter One: How to sell to a passerby who's obviously your lover... Chapter Two: How to sell to your ex-partner who's about to break up... Chapter Three: How to sell to two people who are breaking up. PS: One of the guys is obviously a scumbag..."
Ito/Hoshino:?
What the heck is this? A sales note tailored to different demographics! Who would show this to a child? Also, isn't there a weird PS after the title of Chapter 3? Why is it being read aloud?
"Wait a minute, little sister, do you want to say something to us?" Hoshino asked, squatting down.
"Chapter 7... Ah, I found it!" The girl's eyes, which had drooped, brightened again. "Chapter 7: How to sell to two people who seem to be in an ambiguous relationship but just don't want to break it!"
The girl held the sales note in her palm and read out the message in a childish voice, word by word, with a resounding voice: "You two are such sultry freaks who like each other! Secret crushes are no longer popular these days. Do you have to wait until the other person signs a death flag, goes to the crematorium, or something turns from love to hate before you realize it?"
"Stop joking!"
"Hurry up and buy this bouquet of flowers that haven't completely withered yet, just like you could have started expressing your feelings to each other earlier instead of waiting until the flowers wither to regret it, you bastard Kora!"
With a snap, the sales notes closed, and the girl carefully and rigorously read out the signature at the end of the page:
"Copyright owner of the sales note: Kanako."
*
"A-choo!" A few hundred meters away, Kanako sneezed violently.
In an unknown alley, she poked her head out of an inconspicuous cardboard box, made sure there was nothing unusual around her, and put on a small gray hat.
"No, there's something strange." Kanako's red eyes glanced back and forth warily from beneath the brim of her hat. "It's too quiet. The unreliable adults said that the quietness is an illusion. Behind it are countless bad guys who want to steal my rice."
Unable to hold back any longer, the system in Kanako's mind let out a scream that no one else could hear, saying, "That's because as soon as you arrived here, you chased away all the homeless people lurking nearby!"
The system glanced at the small hole at the bottom of the alley, created by a fist. Although the hole was small, the cracks stretched outward for several meters like a spider web.
This is the innate power of Kanako, or the Yato race.
"Because they look like they will steal my rice." Kanako hugged herself... and the rice cooker in the cardboard box, weak, pitiful, and helpless (doubtful).
"As a young girl wandering in a foreign land, I must be wary of adults with ill intentions."
[That's actually true.] The system confirmed it, and then realized it had been led astray by Kanako.
The system quickly compensated: [But, not all adults are unreliable, right? There must be some very reliable adults who can develop a very sound training system for you, Kanako!]
Kanako repeated thoughtfully, "A reliable adult who won't do anything bad to my rice cooker or the rice inside..."
System: […It’s not just those who don’t steal your food that are good and reliable people! So, have you always judged people by whether they’ll steal your food?!]
The system felt very tired and speechless.
Before binding to Kanako, the system already knew that its host was an eight-year-old girl. For this reason, it clearly positioned itself as patient, friendly, lively, and maintaining a certain sense of humor.
However, after only three days, the system felt like it had a thorn in its throat and gradually broke down due to Kanako's shocking words and bizarre train of thought.
Three days ago, the system and Kanako first met on the first floor of a pub on Kabukicho Street.
At that time, the system took on the task of the World Administration, flew all the way from an unknown place in the universe to the earth, then floated down from above the earth, passed through the ceiling of the tavern, and finally drilled into the top of Kanako's white hair.
[Hello, I am your ceiling training system!] The system finished its opening remarks energetically, waiting for Kanako to show the surprise that only a child could.
But none of the reactions it could have imagined appeared. The white-haired, red-eyed Night Rabbit had its face buried in the rice cooker, wolfing down the freshly cooked white rice, and had no time to pay any attention to it.
system:……
The system repeated itself, and Kanako finally responded. She raised her head, looked around, and patted her stomach, muttering to herself, "I'm not full. I'm even hallucinating from hunger."
[...I'm not hallucinating!] Helplessly, the system had no choice but to surrender its ultimate move in advance, [Kanako, because you are about to violate the World Administration's combat power balance regulations, you are now being sent to a different world with even higher military power.]
The long list of specialized terms left Kanako's little rabbit head a little confused: "What...does it mean?"
Before she could get an answer, the world in front of Kanako changed in the blink of an eye. She, who was originally sitting on a high stool in the pub, appeared in an empty space holding a rice cooker.
"Uh... To put it simply, because your power is too high, the original world can't support your growth. If you continue to grow stronger over time, the original world will collapse." The system acted guiltily without asking for permission. "So you've traveled through time. Anyway—welcome to the new world!"
Kanako, who is still eating rice:?
[I am your system. I will give you a series of tasks. You can get your desired rewards by completing them.]
As soon as she finished speaking, Kanako saw four lines of red words appear in the air in front of her.
[Main Quest: Grow up! (In Progress)]
[Phase 1: Raise the first nurturing value to the maximum]
[Currently bound target: None]
[Nurturing Value: 0/100]
After slowly reading the four instructions, Kanako curled her lips and said, "I don't want it."
System: Huh?
Kanako: "Your tone is very much like that of a bad guy who tricks children into doing free work. You think I'm weak and easy to bully, so you draw a big pie that doesn't exist for me and then exploit me."
After saying that, she nodded in agreement.
The system let out a wail.
After much persuasion failed, the system allowed Kanako to develop freely for two days. It urgently returned to the World Administration's headquarters and finally approved her application for early payment of benefits.
When it returned to Kanako again, it found that the situation was slightly beyond its expectations.
The system quietly retrieved Kanako's information.
[Name: Kanako]
[Race: Night Rabbit (appears similar to humans, naturally possesses extremely strong fighting power, hates sunlight)]
[Personal Profile: Huang'an, a mutant dragon vein experiment subject. His hobbies and specialties are eating, including white rice and bibimbap. He was once taken in by the Yorozuya.]
System: ...Why did you emphasize rice three times?
Despite her small body, she has a huge obsession with eating. Even when she traveled through time, the only thing Kanako brought with her was the rice cooker in her hands.
The system originally thought that such a girl would find a place to eat and drink while the system was away, but it saw Kanako in the central square of a park, standing on the bald head of a statue of an unknown person, with her chest and head held high, looking down at the people below with majesty.
A dozen or so children of similar age stood in the square, their well-trained, uniform voices yelling, "Hello, Big Sister Naizi!"
"It's not Nako, it's Kanako!" Kanako couldn't understand why the world was so against surnames, since she didn't have one.
system:……?
What's going on? It's only been gone for two days!
A boy ran to the front and said, "We did what Big Sister Naizi said and sold all the bouquets today! Here's the money!"
The boy placed a pink piggy bank on the ground and said cheerfully, "As expected of Big Sister Nako, your flower-selling slogan is very effective!"
Kanako took a deep breath and said, "She's not the big sister, she's the future queen of Kabukicho!"
Everyone said in unison: "Okay, big sister! No problem, big sister!"
Kanako: "...Very good, then from now on you are allowed to call me Big Sister!"
System: [Where is Kabukicho?! Children, don't go to places like that!]
Kanako: Ah, you're back.
Kanako: Look at the support group I prepared for my future queen.
Someone noticed something was wrong and raised their hand to ask, "But, Big Sister Nako, this is not Kabukicho, it's..."
As a responsible leader, Kanako decisively corrected the situation after hearing it: "Very good, then I will be the queen of Seasoning City from now on."
Kanako: I'm different from irresponsible adults. I know that I have to pay for meals, so in order to eat enough rice, I have to save enough money first.
She did not forget to paint a rosy picture for the children below: "In the future, we will work hard together and use reliable adult livelihood methods to earn more pocket money!"
Everyone cheered: "Oh!!!"
System prompt: [Nurturing value 1/100]
The system crashed: What the hell! Why is the nurturing value really judged to be increased?
System: So you are the one raising others!!!
【Author’s words】
The main text has been completed, feel free to jump in =w=
To explain, perhaps it is to clear mines: this article is mainly about family and friendship, there is no CP line but it is a romance channel, the reasons are as follows: 1. There are some supporting characters who are the only protagonist, and the protagonist is willing to accept them due to personality reasons and has never thought of refusing; 2. Due to the needs of the plot, there is a section in the development process where the protagonist discusses and thinks about the romantic theme of "love"; 3. The silly part of this article contains certain romance spoofs and self-created memes; in summary, it does not meet the requirements of no CP type, but meets the requirements of romance.
