Starting from Their Seventeen Years Old Chapter 64: Congratulations! You Have Obtained the Skill — P
Night had fallen. Tsushima Kagami stood at the entrance of the convenience store, waiting for Yukinoshita Shizuku, who had finished her shift and was currently changing clothes.
The evening breeze offered no coolness; instead, it carried waves of heat that teased Tsushima Kagami's cheeks as it brushed past.
Just then, he felt a sudden icy sensation on his face.
He was about to turn around when Yukinoshita Shizuku poked his cheek with an ice cream bar, smiling mischievously like a prankster who had succeeded.
"My treat."
Tsushima Kagami took it and saw it was his favorite chocolate flavor. He unceremoniously tore open the wrapper and began to lick it.
"What kind of way is that to eat it? That's so funny."
Tsushima Kagami stopped and looked at Yukinoshita Shizuku.
"Oh? Then why don't you teach how to lick?"
Yukinoshita Shizuku, who had just brought her own ice cream to her lips to enjoy, suddenly froze. Seeing Tsushima Kagami's smiling face, she suddenly felt that no matter how she ate it, it would seem wrong.
So, she stopped giggling, straightened her expression, turned her head away, and secretly began to eat.
Seeing that Yukinoshita Shizuku was ignoring him, Tsushima Kagami chuckled lightly and resud licking his ice cream.
"Student Ijichi returned to school today," Tsushima Kagami suddenly ntioned as they strolled down the street toward the station.
"Is that bento from Student Ijichi, then?"
Yukinoshita Shizuku turned her head to look at the large bento bag in Tsushima Kagami's hand.
"Strictly speaking, it was given by Mrs. Ijichi."
"How is Mrs. Ijichi's condition?"
"Since she's been discharged, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Hearing Tsushima Kagami's words, Yukinoshita Shizuku's brows suddenly furrowed as she recalled the day of the car accident.
"Can you please consider your own life and safety more next ti?"
"Well, I couldn't just leave them to die, and honestly, there wasn't ti to think that much in the mont."
"I'm not asking you to leave people to die. You know that's not what I an. I just want you to cherish yourself more."
Yukinoshita Shizuku was carefully choosing her words to find a more appropriate phrasing. However, Tsushima Kagami suddenly changed the subject.
"Ah, right. Student Shimizu asked to thank you for her. She said the green peppers you made were delicious."
Yukinoshita Shizuku, who had been worrying about Tsushima Kagami misunderstanding her and trying to tell him not to risk his life, suddenly widened her eyes and stared at him.
"How could you feed green peppers to Student Shimizu?"
Tsushima Kagami laughed. "You can feed them to , so why can't I feed them to Student Shimizu? If you secretly stuff green peppers in my lunch again, I'll give them all to Student Shimizu!"
"How can you be so bad!"
"The person who yells at to cherish my body but then stuffs green peppers into my bento is actually the worst one, right?"
The two bickered like this until they reached the subway station, where Yukinoshita Shizuku suddenly stopped and let out an "Ah."
Tsushima Kagami looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I won."
Yukinoshita Shizuku looked at the wooden stick of the finished ice cream, which was engraved with the words 'One More'.
"Do you want to go exchange it for another one?"
Yukinoshita Shizuku shook her head. She looked at Tsushima Kagami, took his hand, and placed the still-sticky ice cream stick into his palm.
"I'm leaving the good luck to you. That way, things like that won't happen again."

After the two returned ho, Yukinoshita Shizuku went to run a bath. Tsushima Kagami played with Yukino for a while before he began to continue drawing manga.
Midway through drawing, he suddenly thought to check how many Pure Love Points had accumulated in the system.
Since he used points to add stats to his manga ability last ti, his Pure Love Points had been nearly depleted. Previously, he felt he had nowhere to spend his surplus points, but he realized that when he actually needed to use them, they really weren't enough.
He felt the points weren't increasing fast enough. Looking at the re tens of thousands of points remaining on the panel, Tsushima Kagami wondered when he would ever save up millions or tens of millions—and even then, it would only be enough to increase a stat by a single point.
Although it was sufficient for now, wasn't the ultimate hope of a stat-adding system to max everything out?
Just then, Tsushima Kagami felt sothing scratching him. He looked down to see Yukino relentlessly pawing at his trouser pocket.
Tsushima Kagami then took out the 'lucky' ice cream stick Yukinoshita Shizuku had given him at the subway station. The stick was wrapped in a tissue. Tsushima Kagami patted Yukino's head.
"Your nose is really sharp, but unfortunately, it's all eaten."
Lucky, huh?
Tsushima Kagami looked at the stick in his hand engraved with 'One More', and a sudden inspiration struck his heart. His usually calm mind rippled, and an inexplicable restlessness urged him to open the Gacha Shop once again.
Since the last ti he pulled a miracle with single draws and challenged the limits of the ten-pull pity system, Tsushima Kagami hadn't touched this thing, even when he had plenty of points later on. A 648 pack wasn't even a drop in the bucket, but he had stayed away.
This thing was too much of a scam. What kind of blue rarity item is just a 'Thank You for Patronizing'? It was definitely designed to scam gamblers and recycle points.
But for so reason, he had a strong premonition right now—today, I can pull sothing good!
So, Tsushima Kagami wrote the numbers 1, 2, 3... 8, 9, 10 on a piece of drawing paper. He then cut them out individually with scissors and arranged them on the floor in the shape of a Bagua diagram.
Finally, he picked up Yukino, who was watching from the table with paws tucked in, and placed the cat in the center of the Bagua on the floor.
Oiiaioiiiiai!
"Off you go!"
Tsushima Kagami gave Yukino a forceful spin. Yukino spun around three tis on the smooth floor before panicking and running out of the circle of numbers.
Tsushima Kagami looked at the number in the direction Yukino had fled—6.
Six tis 648? No, let's make it 60 draws. Finish drawing and be done with it!
Tsushima Kagami checked his remaining Pure Love Points; it was enough for 60 draws of the ten-pull variety.
So, Tsushima Kagami sat at his desk, found a comfortable posture, clasped the 'Lucky Stick' given by Yukinoshita Shizuku between his hands, pressed it devoutly against his forehead, and sank his consciousness into the Gacha Shop.
Co on wealth, co on colors! Give it to !
The screen flashed, and streaks of light appeared one by one like a revolving lantern in a Pachinko machine.
Blue, Blue, Blue...
Seeing that the ninth light was Gold, Tsushima Kagami consoled himself. This is just the first ten-pull, don't...
Just as he was telling himself not to lose heart, he saw the final light turn into a magnificent, multi-colored Purple.
Tsushima Kagami snapped his eyes open and slapped the table.
Easy peasy! Goodbye, all you Pachinkos! Can I just uninstall this Gacha Shop now?
According to the Law of Luck conservation, if he kept playing, he'd have to pay the debt! He would never draw again. He'd pretend this feature didn't exist. If he drew again, he was a dog!
Tsushima Kagami hurriedly entered the system to see what good item the rainbow light had produced.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Skill — Perception Blocking]
[Skill Description: Whether it is happiness or pain, you won't feel any of it~]
Tsushima Kagami was stunned.
This looks so familiar?
Tsushima Kagami thought of a TAG that had been popular for a while—Blocking Trap.
Does this an I am the trap? System, why are all your skills so impure?
