Good Morning, Master

Listening to the hum of the hairdryer and Fushimi Makoto's hand working diligently behind her, Utaha closed her eyes contentedly. "By the way, I've seen a lot of news about you online these past few days, some of which are quite interesting."

"Oh? Then tell me about it," Fushimi Makoto replied cooperatively.

"I forget which media outlet said it, but several film and television companies really liked your script. They reportedly offered you a high price to write the script, but you still turned them down."

"That's true, but half of what you said is false."

"Fake?"

"Yeah, it's normal to be surprised since you're not familiar with this industry, senior." Fushimi Makoto smiled. "For example, there's a saying in this industry: Screenwriters, even dogs don't want to bother with them."

Utaha opened her eyes in surprise, staring at Fushimi Makoto's face in the mirror. "What does this mean?"

"Because times have changed, screenwriters no longer have the status they used to have. Some honest screenwriters will grit their teeth and continue to struggle to make a living, while smart screenwriters will support a few writers. Simply put, screenwriters have no status at all."

"But the news says those film and television companies highly recommend you..."

Utaha was quite clever; she suddenly realized halfway through her sentence, "Wait, they're after you?"

"That's right, they want me to debut," Fushimi Makoto admitted.

"I see."

Utaha understood this time.

Fushimi Makoto has been consistently in the spotlight lately, which presents a great opportunity for any company to monetize its online traffic.

Even if you were to ask Utaha, who has a very discerning eye, she would have to admit that Fushimi Makoto's physical appearance is outstanding.

Not only is he good-looking, but he's also taller and bigger than many male celebrities, and he's a physical monster...

Utaha pondered, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"So, apart from those in the industry, netizens who enjoy gossip are just getting a fake story?" she concluded.

"I can also tell you the truth: in fact, only two companies have contacted me so far. Most of the news online that boasts about multiple companies is just something the media made up."

"This is really..." Utaha was a little shocked. She knew that before she met Fushimi Makoto today, she had also been deceived by the media.

"That's the charm of journalism," Fushimi Makoto said, recalling that interesting quote, "Senior, do you know where the phrase 'to quote out of context' comes from?"

"Where?"

"This comes from the principle of not taking things out of context."

"???"

After drying her hair, their conversation ended, and Utaha realized that she didn't know him well enough.

His knowledge base is probably at least three times greater than mine!

This was a discovery that brought Utaha both surprise and a bit of frustration.

To her surprise, the other person was a boy she liked. The more outstanding he was, the more it proved that she had good taste.

What's frustrating is that even though I'm already very good, I'm now losing repeatedly not only in bed but also out of bed.

Even she herself didn't realize that the adoring look she unconsciously revealed at that moment had completely fallen into Fushimi Makoto's eyes.

Fushimi Makoto simply put his arm around her waist and chuckled softly, "What did you learn from today's events?"

"Hmm?" Utaha looked up in confusion.

"Simply put, if you ever try to cause trouble again, remember to recall the time I tortured you today."

"... idiot."

Utaha said a phrase that Yukino to say to Fushimi Makoto.

A mere beating? You think I, Kasumigaoka Utaha, would be afraid?

At worst, my legs will give way and I'll have to lean against the wall!

Although her cheeks were flushed, she was secretly excited and looking forward to the next round of torture.

Fushimi Makoto saw all of this and thought to himself, if she's so eager for this, then he'll try to pull off a hat trick next time!

Because he was still in Time Loop world, he knew that Utaha's memories would be refreshed after today.

But he planned to preserve Utaha's memories on the last day.

Of course, before preserving her memories, he would torture Utaha severely.

Yogurt must also be prepared in advance.

After all, the way I'm drinking yogurt today is really exciting.

For the next ten days or so, Yukino basically didn't come to Fushimi Makoto.

Because she has officially entered a state of intense competition.

During this time, she would occasionally contact Fushimi Makoto online to ask him questions she didn't quite understand.

Fushimi Makoto was happy to help.

Even during their conversations, he would deliberately flirt with Yukino.

Almost every time the two had a voice call, Yukino would be flustered by his advances.

His purpose in doing this was simple: to use the [Fantasy Badge] to enhance Yukino's physical abilities.

Just like he said before, Yukino is really too thin.

Yukinoshita, I will assist you in your spiritual practice!

On the twentieth day of the Time Loop, Fushimi Makoto pretends to bump into Nakano Yotsuba on the street. He first accompanies the girl shopping, fulfilling her burgeoning desire for a "date".

The two then went to the same dessert shop as before and sat down. After ordering, Fushimi Makoto asked Fushimi Makoto, "Has Ichika and the others been acting strangely lately?"

"Something's not right?" Nakano Yotsuba had been beaming with joy, paused, then pretended to think hard. "What do you mean by something being wrong?"

"Anything is fine."

"Hmm, let me think... I've got it! Ichika secretly bought a lot of stockings and even gave Nino a few pairs. I only found out by chance, and as for what they talked about, I don't know."

When talking about these things, Nakano Yotsuba's face was flushed with shyness.

Fushimi Makoto guessed that the stockings might be geared towards the erotic market, which is why Nakano Yotsuba it somewhat unacceptable.

After all, she's still wearing children's underwear.

The kind that's really cute.

However, this news did not satisfy Fushimi Makoto.

What he cared about was that Itsuki had impersonated Nino back then.

Ichika is also very perceptive in this regard. The five of them live together every day, and over time, Ichika is very likely to discover some clues.

"By the way, Miku's been talking about you a lot lately." Nakano Yotsuba remembered something else. "I even asked her about it. She wouldn't say anything the first few times, but then she probably got annoyed by my questions and finally said she wanted you to explain some facts to her."

She scratched her head, looking rather silly, and asked, "What does 'popular science knowledge' mean? Is Miku too?"

No.

She's just daydreaming again.

Looking at the innocent Yotsuba, Fushimi Makoto suddenly had an idea: to plant spies in the Nakano Family.

After all, he had said a long time ago: I hope to become friends with the girls from the Nakano Family.

As for the extent of this friendship...

All he could say was, "My body can handle it!"

Chapter 234 Good morning, Master

In the days that followed, Fushimi Makoto continued to train himself to the bone, and spent his time talking to Yukino online via voice chat.

Since she had completely immersed herself in studying, every time the two of them chatted online by voice or video, their interaction looked exactly like they were taking an online class.

Besides these two things, Fushimi Makoto would occasionally go to see Utaha- senpai... oh, it was Utaha who came to see him.

Because he and Yukino had both taken leave, Utaha would visit his house every day.

Fushimi Makoto's feeling about this was: My senior is amazing.

On the thirty-third day of the Time Loop, Fushimi Makoto online classes with Yukino as usual. This time, however, she brought up something else while asking her questions.

"My sister comes to see me almost every day. Although I know that's how Time Loop, I still have a strange feeling." Yukino's voice sounded subtle.

Fushimi Makoto put on his Bluetooth headset and chimed in, "I've had that feeling for a while now."

"Are you still going to rescue that child every morning?"

"Meeting."

"Huh? I thought you figured since it refreshes every day, all you had to do was save people on the last day."

"Because I exercise every day, my running route needs to pass through there."

"Oh... wait, you exercise every day?"

Yukino paused, as if she had heard something very surprising.

"What's so surprising about that?" Fushimi Makoto asked deliberately.

Yukino was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, then said in an extremely complicated tone, "Your physical abilities are clearly far beyond those of normal people... No, based on my observations and speculations, even the top athletes' overall physical strength probably doesn't reach one-fifth of yours."

"I'm really happy that you think so highly of me."

"... Are you being indecent again?"

Not wanting him to steer the conversation off-topic, Yukino simply started talking about her conversations with her sister over the past few days.

"My mother is currently negotiating a new business deal. According to my sister, although she could have used the Sawamura Family's connections, she didn't."

"Oh, Auntie doesn't want to waste her favors on this kind of thing."

"Yes, my sister didn't hide anything from me either. I've found out all the information about that businessman in the real estate circle."

Hearing this, Fushimi Makoto was slightly surprised. "You plan to use the Time Loop to investigate him thoroughly, and then find a way to facilitate Auntie's deal?"

This is the operation he used back then.

To everyone's surprise, Yukino said, "It was you who wanted to do this."

Fushimi Makoto taken aback. "Why me?"

He genuinely believed that Yukino would take action.

"Have you forgotten? My days are completely filled with activities; I simply can't find time for anything else." Yukino was clearly immersed in the intense competition.

"Okay, send me the information later, I'll go and familiarize myself with it."

"Thanks."

After ending the call, Yukino quickly sent the information.

Fushimi Makoto was naturally happy to help.

Anyway, he's not as competitive as Yukino.

Moreover, Yukino's earlier prediction was too conservative.

Even top athletes cannot reach one-tenth of his physical strength.

It could be even less.

After all, he has never competed against top athletes.

In the days that followed, Fushimi Makoto basically spent all his time inquiring about the businessman.

It took him a little time to investigate the other party's preferences, family background, work environment, and even how many friends they had.

On the forty-third day of the Time Loop, Yukino took the initiative to suggest that it should end.

Fushimi Makoto was initially puzzled as to why she wasn't continuing the internal competition, but then he heard her extremely helpless voice on the phone. "I really don't want to see my sister every day anymore."

Fushimi Makoto couldn't hold back.

Yukino was still sighing, "If I don't bring up other topics, then my sister is like a game NPC, repeating the same lines and expressions every day. It feels so weird."

"Now you understand how I felt back then, don't you?" Fushimi Makoto said with a smile.
