Scumbag in To love-Ru.

Chapter 5: Skills



After that kissing event.

Rito discovered uses of the system on his own.

Although they looked like different programs from the outside, from the inside they are completely linked to each other, and basically, the harem program is the main function of the whole thing.

Although you can earn skill points from the shop to purchase various skills related to science, technology, programming, fighting, and other topics after finishing a quest or reaching a milestone, you can only use skill points to purchase these skills.

Hence their value is very high. Plus, that incidental kiss got him 10 skill points that night. And thanks to that, he was able to get himself some good skills from the shop that helped him a lot.

[Skill: Jeet Kune Do Level 1 (12/300) + Novel-writing Level 1 (8/300) + Hairdressing Level 1 (4/300).]

All three skills were nice and cost him all ten points.

[Jeet Kune Do] for 5 skill points. Hairdressing for 3 skill points and novel writing for 2 points.

Where Jeet Kune Do is actually Bruce Lee's philosophy, which he was a fan of in his previous life, but at this moment, the system created a whole martial art based on that belief by incorporating 7 different martial arts from all around the multiverse.

Aside from the fact that they all looked pretty awesome on their own, combining these martial arts allows one to unleash a secret skill, but it has a very high toll on the user, so it advised him to ensure that his body was at least Stage 1 before using them.

Hokuto Shinken.

Nanto Shinken.

Hiten Mitsurugi.

Ansatsuken.

Muay Thai.

Mix-Taijutsu (Naruto verse.).

Bajiquan.

Having these seven martial arts as the baseline, Rito got memories of having trained in them for at least a year's worth of time.

Additionally, his body was simulated to have a propensity to use them, which gave him a decent boost in stamina.

However, Rito became even more exhausted as a result, and Mikan had to give him a lot of food and dip for the rest of the day in order for him to recuperate quickly.

5 days have passed.

Rito got stronger very quickly, and his body was starting to grow at a rapid rate, thanks to the status of being a player in this world.

Getting a good night's sleep for an hour, he recovered from all the fatigue, but he also got hungry quite fast too.

Because of this, he trained his body every day, took an hour off before starting over, and eventually developed a nice physique—at least on par with other high school students.

As a result, Rito frightened the doctor by showing her how rapidly he was getting better. Mikan and Saibai were thrilled, and they celebrated his speedy recovery last night.

Their mother also hurried back because she had completed her work there and mentioned that she would be joining them tonight.

"Brother! Will you dry my hair for me?" After getting first-hand experience of Rito's hairdressing skill and massage, that is the part of the skill, Mikan got addicted to Rito's help, and for Rito, helping the sweet little sister was not that bad of an idea.

"Coming..." He walked out of his room, as he had just finished and wanted to check the reward from the favorabilities of Mikan, Yui, and Haruna.

However, he can also put it off for another time because he was already very busy with the new skills he was learning and would only become overwhelmed if he learned more. Instead, he was concentrating on the things he was already learning.

Enjoying a delightful moment with Mikan, who was seated in front of Rito, as he patted her head and dried her hair, feeling her silky hair and the slight humming she had begun to sing more frequently following his announcement that he was recovering from the doctor's mouth.

'She has a good voice for singing,' Rito muttered. The time flew by as the two of them relished their quiet time together while watching television, discussing the book they had read together and even sharing the new light novel that Mikan was now rereading from the beginning.

As the time passed, even their father came back as Saibai had completed his work ahead of time, and today their mother, Ringo Yuki, is coming back from the job.

"Guys! Want some juice?" When Saibai emerged from the kitchen, he saw his sister and brother reading more of those light novels. They appeared to be very focused on what they were reading and had forgotten all about him.

"I'll have some, Dad!" When Saibai was about to let them have their own private time, Rito looked up and said, as he apologized with a bitter smile, given they were really at a good part, and he completely ignored his dad.

"It's okay. Though seeing you both like this really makes me happy. We truly have two good kids." Having seen how two of them were getting a bit distant once in the past, Saibai had his own set of worries, but after the sudden collapsing of Rito's health, Mikan turned back to her past self. That really made Saibai and Ringo really happy.

'After all, that happened when we told Mikan about Rito's real parents.' He muttered under his breath, not wanting to bring that past back again.

Under the guise of reading, Mikan was currently observing her father's face and thinking about how he had a terrible habit of dwelling too much on their past.

-------------------------------------

It was getting past 6 pm.

After finishing his reading, Rito brought his own study materials into the living room.

He decided to spend some time talking with Mikan and Saibai today, but he would also read some Kanji because he was terrible at it, and his education in other subjects was at a bad point right now.

In addition to his modest objective of pleasing his parents with his grades and overall ranking in the first year's overall section list, he was also attempting to demonstrate his efforts to change so that his parents would not reject him when he went on to learn some kind of martial arts or learn some more extracurricular activities in the future.

Having an awesome system like a self-development system, Rito felt it would be wasted on working in a single skill in this life, so his wish to learn different fields would drive his life into a new phase of excitement and thrill.

Additionally, seeing skill proficiency grow every day as a gamer can truly set a hardcore player like him on a path of excitement and zone.

'Ring.'

"Coming..." Mikan heard it first. Saibai also smiled, though in that instant, Rito also saw some kind of change within his father's usual self.

'That's right! Today he is really wearing proper clothing. Well, maybe it is because of the guest mother she is bringing with her.'

A glimmer of curiosity flickered through Rito's eyes, but he quickly shook his head, seemingly overanalyzing the situation, and got up to welcome his mother.

After all, this time, their mother was gone for a long time.

Since Rito got hospitalized, she had been coming for rather short periods of time and even took leave for a whole two months during those periods.

This two-week stay was a long time for them, and they were hoping for something positive from Ringo, who had promised them both before she left.

'She is back...' Mikan thought. As she hopped from her place, Rito also followed her, and tagging behind the group was Saibai, who was smiling on their way to the gate.

Saibai was happy to see their family getting so excited, despite a slight apprehension about something that was going to join them soon enough.

"Oh, my god, my lovely daughter is here to pick me up." Ringo's cheerful voice echoed, along with Ringo's figure, who entered through the gate, and along with her was a pair of two.

The bigger lady seemed to be of similar age as Ringo and had beautiful silver hair and a maiden-like look, which took Rito's soul out of his body, as he certainly knew the lady in front of him.

After all, the lady in front of Rito was another character he knew from a certain anime, and seemingly she was already dead before the anime episode started.

Plus, behind her followed a cute-looking girl, who was in a similar age group as Mikan, and being the daughter of the lady, she totally resembled her mother, with a small hand clutching her mother's clothes tightly and with one hand holding a white rabbit, she looked shyly toward the group.

"Hello... My name is Mitsubayashi Ayaka." Mikan and Rito appeared somewhat stunned at the moment, but after hearing the silver-haired, mature woman introduce herself, two of them eventually emerged from their daze.

"Hello! My name is Yuki Mikan." Mikan hid behind Rito when it was her turn.

Rito grinned wryly at the sight, not expecting Mikan to act so shy, but it was understandable given that she was meeting two of them for the first time and that Mikan had recently begun to occasionally show her true feelings.

"Hello! My name is Yuki Rito, mother Ringo's smart son." With a light joke, Rito crackled, making Ringo smile as they heard 'smart' in his comment; even Mikan giggled behind him.

"Sagiri, come out and introduce yourself too." Ayaka felt a bit embarrassed to see her child still hiding behind her, but it was given since it was the first time for Sagiri to see three of them.

Plus, recently she had seen Sagiri making progress in communicating with her friends from the class, so she thought that she might do well today too.

'But reality is much different than imagination.'
