782 Looking at and loving you (1/2)
After yesterday's dark and rainy day was a bright and sunny day… Just kidding.
The rain had stopped, but dark clouds still hung everywhere in the sky. Today was yet another gloomy day that kept people's spirits low.
However, a certain person was currently humming happily.
This person was Chiaki, who was currently cooking breakfast in Seiji's apartment.
The beautiful silver-haired girl was humming and cooking while wearing an apron. It was so evident that she was in a wonderful mood that even Seiji felt infected with her happiness.
This was actually Chiaki's first time ever trying to cook breakfast.
Chiaki was someone who always loved to sleep in late, which was why she was the type to always skip breakfast. Hence, this was truly her first time.
After Chiaki regained the lost memories about her mother, she called her father and then had a face-to-face family meeting with him. After that, everyone noticed an obvious change in Chiaki.
It was difficult to describe exactly how she had changed… the best word Seiji could come up with was that she seemed more ”real.”
Compared to the original Chiaki, she now seemed less ”flippant” and slightly more ”serious”, at least in Seiji's view.
Seiji couldn't help but recall the female lead in a famous light novel he'd read in his previous world. That girl had many worries since she also lost the memories regarding her mother who had been taken away by the gods. That girl lost weight due to her worries, and only regained her weight after bringing back her mother.
This was somewhat similar to Chiaki's experience. Chiaki also had such memories with her mother, and a god was involved, along with nostalgia and frustrations… and some things that couldn't be recovered anymore.
Although Chiaki's mother couldn't be brought back to life anymore…
Even if Chiaki's mother couldn't be brought back to life anymore…
Chiaki had still recovered her important memories, thus recovering the ”weight” that she and her life should have possessed.
At this moment, Chiaki seemed to notice Seiji's attention as she turned around, exchanged glances with him, and smiled brilliantly.
Seiji's heart skipped a beat upon seeing such a beautiful smile. He responded with his own smile.
*Ding!* His system suddenly sent him a notification.
[A female individual's favorability rating towards you has reached 100. You have now obtained her character reward card.]
A character reward card… Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
Obviously, this had to be Chiaki's character reward card.
Right now, Chiaki's face was slightly red and there was an alluring expression in her eyes.
But, before Seiji could get a better look, Chiaki looked away with evident shyness.
He couldn't help but imagine the scenario of doing certain sexy things with an apron-wearing newly wed wife… No! He had to stop thinking about this!
If he imagined this scenario any longer, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself anymore. Seiji did his very best to suppress his desire.
It felt like Chiaki became more charismatic… or, more accurately, she became the type that attracted him even more.
While only exchanging glances and not words, her favorability rating towards him reached 100. Seiji felt like this was almost a natural accomplishment.
Since Chiaki was now averting her gaze, Seiji took this opportunity to open up his system and check his new character reward card.
