Advanced Nurturing: I Can Increase My Stats Without Limit-Chapter 162

To put it another way, if one day all the members of high society on Sakurajima were to attend a party, Aragaki Shun could simply go along, without bringing anything, and physically eliminate everyone at the party with his bare hands.

A force of up to 5,000 jin (2,500 catties) would be fatal or severely injuring for an ordinary person.

If one's adopted son were to become an assassin, as long as he studied the relevant skills, there would probably be no one in the world who could escape the Grim Reaper's list.

Conversely, to kill them, it would require at least several hundred troops using armor-piercing rounds and explosive weapons.

Otherwise, even if ordinary pistols and rifles could hit him, as long as it wasn't a fatal spot, Aragaki Shun would only have a few minutes or a dozen minutes to recover.

Even if he were to send in a force of several hundred men, he doubted whether he could actually fight them.

After all, in previous tests, his adopted son had demonstrated an ability to foresee the future on several occasions, dodging bullets before they were fired.

If he had given advance warning and simply hidden among the crowds in a big city, who could have identified him?

We can't just drop a missile and have tens of millions of people in the city die as a result!

Is this talent, which they call intuition, really not a superpower?

"This is really a headache. If your existence is exposed, the Aragaki Family alone won't be able to protect you."

If they insist on protecting their adopted son, he might not get into any trouble; at most, his quality of life would be reduced, and he would have to lie low for a while.

However, the Aragaki Family lacked the confidence to deal with the covetousness from all over the world, and even the entire Sakurajima couldn't do so.

"How about I act as a go-between for you, bringing in some major powers and influential figures? You'll just have to be their stud for a while, okay?"

Upon hearing his adoptive father's teasing, Aragaki Shun's face darkened.

Did they really treat him as a unique, one-of-a-kind sample for the laboratory?

"I'm still in my growth phase. In just one or two years, all the problems you're worried about will disappear."

He can now obtain 5 units of Source Power every month, and even if he does nothing for the next year or two, he will still be able to accumulate enough resources to step into the Transcendent Realm.

As his strength increased and his confidence grew, he also needed to prepare for the future. That's why he revealed his special abilities to those trusted by the Aragaki Family and began to gradually interfere in the country's affairs.

"I see."

The Aragaki Family Head nodded. "Given your personality, you didn't hide it completely before confessing... So, is there something the family needs to do?"

"Let's be frank then. Your growth is the most important thing right now, and the family will allocate all its resources to this."

Aragaki Father boasted that no one knew his adopted son's personality better than he did.

The other party is not someone who likes to show off; compared to empty fame, Aragaki Shun values practical benefits more.

If possible, he would certainly prefer to wait until he is able to face all the malice in the world before stepping forward to rule the world.

Since they haven't done that, it can only mean they have other plans and need the cooperation of the Aragaki Family.

In some ways, this is a good thing for the Aragaki Family.

231. Ayase is easy to handle; the height of the fountain will not exceed its source.

"So, my brother suddenly became a superhuman?"

After school in the afternoon, Ayase, heard that Aragaki Shun had returned home and couldn't wait to take the bus back from school.

But how did our long-awaited reunion turn out like this?

After receiving a series of strange messages from his parents, the little angel, looking completely bewildered, pulled Aragaki Shun into his bedroom, where he sat listening to his older brother recount his various experiences during his time at Advanced Nurturing School.

"I wouldn't call myself a superhuman; I'm just a little stronger than an average person, but I haven't surpassed the limits of human society."

He carefully examined his stepsister, whom he hadn't seen for months. The girl was pretty and delicate, with long black hair, a slender figure, and thick eyebrows. She exuded a very composed aura, giving off the feeling of a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko-type beautiful girl.

"Ah~ Ayase, she's still so cute."

"It's been so long since I've given my little sister a hug, let me give her a hug."

He picked up his petite younger sister and let her sit on his lap. Aragaki Shun rested his chin on the girl's hair and gently inhaled the scent he hadn't experienced in a long time, feeling as if his whole being was being healed.

"Eek! How frivolous! Shameless! What are you doing, brother?!"

Held in her sworn brother's arms, enjoying the overwhelming sense of security, Ayase blushed and instinctively struggled a couple of times, but naturally, she was powerless to resist.

How could a girl with such little strength possibly move a monster that could fling a car away with its bare hands?

Of course, the little angel wasn't too resistant at first; it was just that a sense of shame made her act a bit haughty.

After trying to break free but finding it futile, she could only lightly punch the man's chest twice, warning Aragaki Shun not to treat her as an easy woman to handle.

"My brother has been studying at that boarding school for a few months, and he seems to have changed a lot. He's really wicked; he's been touching girls inappropriately."

Is there a problem with this?

Aragaki Shun dismissively said, "Ayase is my adopted sister, and moreover, my future wife. We haven't seen each other for a long time, can't we be a little more affectionate?"

"Ah~ Weiwei's future wife..."

The girl's blue eyes widened. She hadn't expected her brother to say something so blunt. Ayase felt like her brain was about to shut down.

Is this a good thing? It seems like it's actually acceptable for engaged couples to be more intimate?

But my mother says girls should be reserved, and there are some things they should only do after marriage, right?

Waaaaah... marrying my brother and all that...

Seeing Ayase's head practically steaming, Aragaki Shun's lips curled into a slight smile. In his mind, he gave himself a thumbs up, proudly saying, "Plan worked perfectly."

As the older brother, Aragaki Shun believed he understood his stepsister, who had followed him around since childhood, quite well.

Ayase is certainly a good girl. She is innocent and gentle. Under her mother's special guidance, she is also an all-rounder in housework, capable in both formal and domestic settings, and has mastered all the skills a good wife should have.

Imagine having a little angel who's willing to cook and do laundry for you, loving only you with all her heart. For a guy, that would be the perfect marriage partner.

But even such an outstanding fiancée has a flaw that, normally speaking, isn't a defect: once she's made up her mind about something, she's determined and won't waver.

This may not sound like a big deal, but sometimes, when a girl becomes too obsessive, she can easily get stuck on a single point and extrapolate things based entirely on her own imagination.

When Aragaki Shun was a child, he witnessed Ayase going crazy a few times. At that time, Ayase seemed to have broken down, and her eyes, which had lost their luster, suddenly became very terrifying.

From that moment on, Aragaki Shun knew that beneath his stepsister's dignified and perfect exterior lay a hint of yandere tendencies.

However, this is not a serious problem. A girl's yandere tendencies are actually just a manifestation of feeling that you don't care about her and wanting to get your attention.

According to Aragaki Shun's experience, when facing Ayase, as long as you are honest and don't lie, say a lot of sweet words to express your feelings for her, and make her so shy that she can't think straight, that's enough.

"I'm really looking forward to the day I marry Ayase," Aragaki Shun, his arm around the girl's slender waist, drawing his stepsister's thoughts to the future. "I wonder how beautiful Ayase would look in a wedding dress."

"After marriage comes having children. My parents seem to prefer having grandchildren, but I think a daughter is also nice, ideally a cute little girl like Ayase, babbling 'Daddy,' and then when she gets a little older..."

"Marriage, wedding dress, child, daughter... Ugh~ Brother, you pervert, what on earth are you saying to your sister who's two years younger than you?!"

Cupping her cheeks in her hands, Ayase shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the blurry and psychedelic Matoba.

But those visions of the future took root in the girl's mind, and she couldn't forget them, as if the day of their wedding had truly arrived.

Waaah... Giving birth to a daughter for my brother... that's so impure, that's sexual harassment, absolutely sexual harassment...

No! My heart is beating so fast... it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest...

"Brother, you pervert! You harass your own sister as soon as you get home. You're so wicked!"

Ayase tapped the man's chest with her little head, Ayase earlobes turning bright red. She made a face of gritted teeth and directly blamed the Advanced Nurturing.

"What exactly did they teach at the high school my brother attended? Just a few months ago, he was such a serious person."

"I can't argue with that," Aragaki Shun chuckled. "Advanced Nurturing is indeed a bit unconventional, and this school recruits students from all over the country, many of whom are top-notch girls. It's quite dazzling."

Her dizzy consciousness suddenly cleared, Ayase's eyes sharpened instantly. She stared at her respected older brother, blinking before she came to her senses.

Recalling Aragaki Shun's account of her school experiences, and her previous obsession with her brother's sudden transformation into a superhuman, she seemed to have overlooked another extremely important fact—

My brother seems to have had several girlfriends at that school!

"Hey hey hey~ Brother, you actually cheated on me!!!"

"It seems that's true," Aragaki Shun said, pinching the girl's cheek as he looked at his stepsister's dazed expression. "But it's all Ayase's fault. Because you weren't by my side, I was tempted by other women."

"My fault?"

Listening to her brother's unreasonable reprimand, the girl with long, straight black hair looked completely bewildered, unsure whether she should get angry or not.

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun launched a surprise attack, taking the opportunity to lower his head and press his lips to Ayase's slightly parted lips.

Her waist was held tightly, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body. Her first kiss had been stolen by the person she had promised to spend her life with. Aragaki Ayase was so angry that she wanted to bite this bad guy.

To think he actually used that trick! My brother is such an idiot, he's so cunning.

Waaah~ No, don't get so close, don't be so serious.

It's so hot, my brain feels like it's malfunctioning, I'm turning into an idiot...

"Brother, you idiot, you pervert, get out and reflect on your actions!"

Coming to her senses from her chaotic thoughts, Ayase realized she had almost been stripped naked and was completely disheveled. Remembering the strange conditions she had agreed to with her brother in her moment of confusion, Ayase angrily pushed Aragaki Shun out of her bedroom.

With her face pressed against the crack in the door, the girl glared angrily at the thug outside, pouting as she complained:

"I know, my brother has turned into a big, evil wolf. Whenever he sees a cute girl, he'll grab her and eat her in one bite."

"I should have thought of that. Someone like my brother, once he's far away and no one's watching him, he'll definitely start having affairs."

Ayase looked a little annoyed, but after being teased by Aragaki Shun and letting out her initial unease, she wasn't too angry.

Or rather, we've long been used to this kind of thing.

Whether in elementary school or junior high, my brother, being such an outstanding person, was never short of all sorts of scheming vixens around him.

In the past, when her older brother came to pick her up from class to go home together, some classmates who didn't seem to care asked her to help deliver love letters.

Later, when my brother started submitting his Writing, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as he reduced his time socializing in the club, he wouldn't attract too much attention.

But who would have thought that even in this situation, several more philanderers would suddenly appear?

Isn't it said that professional creators who debut as light novel and manga artists are all older adults?

Why are there so many young female authors and illustrators suddenly appearing?

As expected, those shameless otaku are the most evil!

"However, I still want to thank those girls who were willing to take care of my brother's life on campus. Otherwise, he would definitely be bored living away from home."

Her expression returned to seriousness, Aragaki Ayase earnestly reminded her:

"Knowing it was wrong, they still chose to date the brother. Those girls must have been very confused."

"Brother, you've done something terrible. Don't end up being a heartless scumbag who starts relationships and then abandons the woman."

After giving this reminder, Ayase slammed the door shut, seemingly refusing to let anyone in.

Aragaki Shun smiled slightly upon seeing this. It seemed like a good thing that his stepsister was still in the mood to act childish.

However, according to my adoptive mother, she recently turned down other activities and started learning kendo, constantly talking about going to confront the woman she sees as a cheater... which is quite speechless.

He remembered that before he enrolled in Advanced Nurturing, he hadn't developed any particularly close relationships with any girls.

If we're talking about someone who most closely resembles a cat, wouldn't it be Gokou Ruri?

But Kuroneko's personality shouldn't be like that.

Compared to Gokou Ruri, he was more convinced that it was Yamada Elf who took the initiative to approach him, which was why Ayase saw it as a provocation.

Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun stopped thinking about this little trouble; he trusted his stepsister would know what to do.

The girl's hidden nature does indeed have a slight yandere tendency, but that's a side that only appears when she's facing Aragaki Shun.

When dealing with outsiders, things haven't gotten to that point yet.

Unless one day the two of them completely break up, Ayase might break down and start killing indiscriminately.

But that's impossible...

Over the next few days, Aragaki Shun even helped Ayase get a day off until the weekend, taking the girl out to play everywhere.

Amusement parks, cinemas, cafes, hot spring hotels... their figures can be seen in every corner of the city. When they hear that there is something fun to do, they rush over to try it out out of curiosity.

The only downside for the stepsister was that Yamada Elf, Gokou Ruri, Senju Muramasa, somehow got wind of it and insisted on coming over to intrude on their private time together.

Overall, however, Aragaki Shun found it quite amusing to watch a group of cute girls bickering and arguing over him.
