Hmmm… What is it? A very delicate aroma brought me out of my sleep. The fragrant scent of meat being roasted with a few seasoning. I could also hear the deep sound of vegetables being fried.

Assailed by such fragrance, my tummy couldn’t help but growl, showing how happy he would be to be filled with such food.

Not able to resist the distress my stomach I opened my eyes.

Where I am I? Ah, I remember now.

This is Kaiyu’s house, I still feel like everything that happened until now was just a dream. But would a dream last so long? I remember using the Love Controller card yesterday and the change which occurred in Kaiyu’s reaction.

If this is a dream then I wish to never wake. I wonder if I got another card?

After using one in the cave, I got another one right after waking up. Opening the Deck, an additional window appeared in front of the deck.

[ You’ve obtained two new Capture Cards. ]

Capture cards? What’s that? Is that the same type of thing as the [ Love Controller ]? Pressing the [ OK ] button on the screen, another window popped up.

[ You’ve obtained three new Support Cards ]

Again? Not that I am dissatisfied, but I wonder how they differ from the others card. Once again pressing the [ OK ] button, the black window had now two tabs at the top.

[ Support card ] and [ Capture Cards ]

In the Capture Card’s menu, there were two new cards completely different from the previous ones.

The first one was is named [ Continual Remembrance ]. The drawing on the card is a figure holding his head with two arrows forming a circle around it. Clicking on the drawing, the card appeared in my hand.

[ Continual Remembrance ]

D-rank Card: Touch the target with the card to activate. Create the target to continuously remember a precise moment and the feeling it felt at that moment.

Item duration: One month.

[Condition: Usable On Women Only]

Hmmm… This one isn’t as good as I hoped, the difference between this and the ‘Love Controller’ is enormous. While the first one didn’t require any effort or time, this one need a more precise approach.

But even so, for a D-rank card, this is still impressive. I mean ‘One month’... Moreover, it also causes the target to experience over and over the feeling it previously felt. While requiring more reflection, this isn’t a bad card at all.

Storing the D-rank card, I looked at the second picture on the black screen. The other card on the other hand looked far more interesting and easy to use than the first one.

[ Memory Rewriter ]

I guess I don’t really need more to know the card’s effect, right? The illustration described a little black square, something similar to a tablet with some images on it.

The images countless images were like coming out of the tablet, becoming smaller and smaller as they were drawn toward a figure’s head.

Without hesitation, I clicked on the picture and grasped the card which appeared in my hand.

[ Memory Rewriter ]

C-rang Card: Crush the card to activate. Summon a tablet able to falsify someone’s memory. While the card is used the subject will fall into a deep sleep.

Item duration: Five days

[Condition: Usable On Women Only]

That’s a C-rank card? Personally, I would have put it on the same level as the Love Controller. Frankly, I can’t wait to use it on someone... Should I use it on Kaiyu?

Nah, that would be a waste since she is actually under the effect of one. Oh, didn’t I also receive some ‘Support Cards'?

Putting the card away while grinning, I clicked on the ‘Support Card’ tab which displayed the same menu as in the other one, but with three cards here.

The first support card was [ Heal ]. Retrieving the card, its use is the same as what its name describe.

[ Heal ]

A-rang Card: Crush the card while thinking of the target to activate. Heal the selected target.

Restriction: The target must be within ten meters of the user.

At least, I am reassured that this isn’t a ‘Women only’ card. I know there’s magic in this world after talking about various things with Kaiyu yesterday, but I wonder if this has the same power as the spell.

The second card was [ Charm +5 ]

[ Charm +5 ]

C-rank Card: Crush the card to use. Grant a permanent bonus of 5 to the charm characteristic.

Am I actually in a game or what? There’s even a stat system although I can’t see it.

To finish, the last card is [ Fire Arrow ]

[ Fire Arrow ]

D-rank Card: Crush the card to activate while thinking of a target. Send a fire arrow to the target.

Restriction: The target must be within fifty meters of the user.

Putting away [ Heal ] and [ Fire arrow ], I crushed the last card as a purple light enveloped my body.

I didn’t really feel any different, but I had the impression that my skin became somewhat paler than before.

It reminds me that I still didn’t see myself in a mirror since I arrived in this world. I still don’t know what I even look like now. Maybe I should ask Kaiyu later on if she got one, I guess somewhat as beautiful as she must definitely have a few ones.

Ah… I was so concentrated about the cards that I forgot about my stomach screaming ‘Help me!!’. Sorry… I am going to look for something for you, I promise so just wait a moment.

Walking toward the living room where Kaiyu had been eating yesterday, my eyes popped out as I looked at the table. There's at least a dozen of differents dish all smelling with such a delicate fragrance that my nostrils went in a frenzy and drool appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Kaiyu brought out the last plate with what looked like a roasted chicken, but its size was at least five times bigger. It couldn’t be called a chicken anymore, is that an ostrich? Just what kinds of animals are living in this world?

“Ah, I was going to wake you up.” She indifferently said.

Despite sounding indifferent her voice didn’t contain the same coldness as yesterday, in fact, it was somewhat pleasant to the ears.

“Just sit up and eat.”

“Is that alright? You already allowed me to stay here for the night, I feel like I would be asking for too much if I were to eat with you…”

Kaiyu looked slightly dissatisfied with my answer, but she also looked prepared as if she had planned this all along.

“Well, as you can see I made a little too much. Since I probably won’t be able to finish it all by myself, just give me a hand. Otherwise, I’ll just throw it all away.”

A little too much?!... She made enough food to feed at least twenty people. Is she expecting me to eat all of this?

“If that’s the case then I won’t hold back.” I said as I quickly began to greedily eat a little of everything I saw on the table. Enjoying some new tastes and dishes I’ve never seen or eaten before.

Each and every one of them was delicious, there were some fried vegetables of multiple colors, some fish which looked like a mix of a tuna and a salmon.

There was even a whole roasted animal which looked like a rabbit, but with three eyes. She still called it a ‘rabbit’, I wonder the others animals look like…

Kaiyu almost didn’t touch the food, she spent the most of her time looking at me, watching me eat with a delighted smile.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“A-Ah, don’t worry about me, I am not that hungry…”

“Is that so?...”

I somehow felt uncomfortable with her staring at me the whole time… Is this how she felt yesterday? I feel like she is taking her revenge, yet the expression on her face is telling me that she is enjoying looking at me happily eating.

“This is really delicious, I am sure that Kaiyu would definitely make a good wife.” I said half joking.

“★■※＠▼●∀§?!”

“W-Whoa, are you alright?”

Kaiyu almost fell from her chair as she became completely red. She managed by reflex to hold the table, avoiding to fall on the floor at the last second.

“W-What are you saying? W-W-Why would I make a good wife?”

Looking at her embarrassed expression, half sulking, I couldn’t help but giggle at her cute appearance.

“S-Sorry if I surprised you, I just wanted to say that the food was very delicious…”

“H-Humu… It’s alright it was my fault for making such a scene over something like this so it’s fine.”

“I see, but if it troubles you so much then I promise you not to say it again…”

“...You don’t have to go that far, you idiot…” She muttered.

Did she just say something? Probably my imagination.

“By the way… What are you going to do afterward?” She asked me as she quickly recovered.

“Hm? I still don’t really know. I’ll probably roam here and there, it’s not like I have a place to go or to return.”

Actually, I already planned on staying here. I am pretty sure she also doesn’t want for me to depart from her home, but if she doesn’t want for me to stay then I wouldn’t have any other choice than leaving.

“Y-Yeah… You know, if you don’t have anywhere to go then I don’t mind having you staying here for the time being.”

As I thought, here it comes. Recalling how she in love she was with me with a value of 80, I knew she would definitely be reluctant to let me go with a value of now 100.

“Eh? But won’t I be a bother if I stay here?”

“T-That’s not a problem. As you saw, this house is just too big for one person so there’s a lot of places. You don’t have to worry at all.” She answered anxiously.

Her expression became rather uneasy and her eyes slightly wet, but she still kept a strong front. If one didn’t observe her minutely then it would be very hard to see it.

“I guess it’s fine then, I’ll rely on you from now on Kaiyu.”

For the frame of a second, her expression dramatically changed as if she was about to jump from joy. Recovering almost instantly, she beautifully smiled at me.

“Likewise, please take care of me.”

Eh? Why do I kinda feel like her words had a totally different meaning than what she just said? It was probably just my imagination.

As if a huge weight was taken off from her shoulder, Kaiyu’s expression relaxed as she resumed her meal.

Eating my fill, when we finally finished our meal, more than half of the dishes still remained. I’ve never eaten so much in my life, my stomach feels like it’s going to explode.

I think there’s something strange with this body. Despite its little size, I was able to eat at least three time the amount my previous body could ingest. I also don’t feel any longer the same way I felt in the cave, my previously frail body feel like it is filled with strength and rigor.

Kaiyu on the other side had also finished eating, after telling her I was going to live here, she seemed to have regained her appetite.

“You really made a lot of food, I can’t eat anymore.”

“Is that so? You didn’t have to force yourself to eat you know?”

“I couldn’t help myself, after all, it was truly delicious. But you must definitely have a lot of food to be able to prepare that much.”

This amount was truly astonishing, I guess working with farmers must definitely bring her a lot of food.

“Actually… I used everything I had for the week. I’ll need to go buy some ingredients in the town today.”

No wonder there was so much, she used all her reserve for today… Was she trying to lure me using her cooking, what a vicious woman!! But it absolutely worked!

“The town... Can I come along?”
