The system notification came.
But—
After reading the suggestion content, Haru's expression became somewhat dazed.
[Ding, Suggestion: Live together with Megumi Kato continuously for three days and observe her lifestyle habits. Reward: Presence Concealment]
Haru was a bit stunned.
The ability he wanted had indeed been triggered.
The system's reward, Presence Concealment, could directly block his own existence, undetectable even by electronic devices.
Moreover, this Presence Concealment wasn't Megumi Kato's passive talent, but an active skill that Haru could control himself.
The problem was that the suggestion reward actually required living together with Megumi Kato for three days.
Living together with a beautiful girl like Megumi Kato, Haru was naturally very willing.
The problem was that Megumi Kato would never agree to it.
Not to mention that Haru and Megumi Kato weren't in a romantic relationship, even if they were lovers, they were still high school students. How could she possibly agree to live together with him for three days?
"This is a bit troublesome."
Haru secretly sighed in his heart, but thinking about this reward, he decided he should at least try.
What if Megumi Kato agreed?
Haru's thoughts raced rapidly, and instantly, he knew how to start this conversation.
However, whether she would agree or not depended entirely on Megumi Kato's thoughts.
Taking a deep breath, Haru looked seriously into Megumi Kato's beautiful eyes, his gaze full of earnestness as he said:
"Megumi, I think what you just said was absolutely right!"
Megumi Kato's pretty face showed a trace of confusion: "Haru-kun, your words are a bit strange. I clearly didn't say anything."
"No no, you did!" Haru's face showed a smile, "Didn't you just say that if I lived together with you, I could learn the method to master this talent by observing your lifestyle?"
"So, please live together with me. I'm begging you, Megumi-chan!"
As soon as these words came out, Megumi Kato's pretty face immediately froze.
After being stunned for a long while, she picked up her water cup and lowered her head to take a small sip.
"Really, Haru-kun."
Without raising her head, Megumi Kato's voice was still as gentle as always, her tone still as calm as always, yet slightly trembling, "Even so, such a request is really a bit too much for a girl."
"If I didn't know that Haru-kun is the same type of person as Rikka, I would have misunderstood. I might have called the police on the spot."
Originally, Haru hadn't had much hope and thought he would definitely be rejected.
But seeing that with Megumi Kato's usual composure, she was reacting like this at the moment, not daring to raise her head to look at him, his heart began to race wildly.
He suddenly felt that perhaps there was a chance.
Moreover, although Megumi Kato's response carried some reproach, it wasn't that absolute or uncompromising.
Immediately, Haru's heart pounded, knowing that the opportunity had come.
"Megumi-chan, I just need three days, and I'm confident I can learn the talent I mentioned."
Haru's voice became more emphatic, his tone more sincere, "Please, Megumi-chan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Megumi Kato's lowered face became even redder.
She quietly raised her beautiful eyes to glance at Haru.
In her pretty pupils, there was shyness, nervousness, and some reproach, as if she wanted to say, "Do you even hear what you're saying?"
However, Megumi Kato remained silent.
After a while of silence, she gently parted her lips:
"Haru-kun, do you really want to learn that strange talent?"
She paused, then looked into Haru's eyes with a slight blush, saying in a probing tone:
"And not have some other thoughts?"
Hearing this, Haru became even more excited.
With Megumi Kato's personality, when she asked such a question instead of directly refusing, there really might be a chance.
Haru knew the crucial moment had arrived. At this time, he had to remove Megumi Kato's defenses to get her to agree to this admittedly excessive request.
"Megumi-chan, please rest assured, I really am doing this to learn your extraordinary talent for concealing presence."
Haru looked directly into Megumi Kato's eyes with complete seriousness, full of sincerity, without any guilty appearance whatsoever.
He emphasized that he had no ulterior motives.
After all, what he was saying was true.
"Haru-kun, that's not an extraordinary talent at all."
Hearing Haru's answer, Megumi Kato's eyes flashed with barely noticeable disappointment, then she looked at Haru and emphasized again:
"The reason I'm ignored by people is just because I'm too ordinary and unremarkable. Haru-kun, even if I agree to you, you won't be able to learn anything."
"No, I definitely can learn it."
Haru's tone was full of confidence as he stared at Megumi Kato with burning eyes, "Megumi-chan, I know my words do make you somewhat concerned, suspecting I might have unhealthy thoughts, but I really only have the intention of learning extraordinary abilities."
"How about this: I can promise Megumi-chan that after living together for three days, if I can't learn the talent of concealing presence, I'll commit seppuku in front of you. I can even record this promise right now, Megumi-chan."
To dispel Megumi Kato's concerns, Haru was going all out.
He even considered showing Megumi Kato his heterochromatic eye ability.
To let her know that he was indeed a transcendent being, not someone requesting cohabitation with unhealthy purposes.
However, thinking about how his heterochromatic eye ability was X-ray vision, he immediately dismissed this idea.
After all, this ability would naturally arouse girls' vigilance and be considered a perverted, lustful ability.
And Haru was requesting Megumi Kato to live with him. His sincerity had already somewhat moved Megumi Kato, making her consider accepting his outrageous request.
Megumi Kato might have been able to believe that he had no bad intentions, but once she knew Haru had such an ability, no matter how much she trusted him, she would never agree to live with him.
Even Rikka, who was fascinated by the extraordinary to the extreme, had been too shy to approach Haru for several days after seeing his heterochromatic eyes.
Let alone Megumi Kato.
So, the matter of the heterochromatic eyes should absolutely not be mentioned if possible.
Megumi Kato stared at Haru for a long while, as if trying to discern whether there was anything suspicious in his expression.
Haru maintained eye contact with her steadily, to prove that he was absolutely telling the truth.
Finally, it was Megumi Kato who lowered her head first, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
She said softly: "Since Haru-kun has said it to this extent, if I don't agree, I would really be too insensitive..."
"But if Haru-kun can't learn it by then, I really will demand that you commit seppuku as an apology."
After saying this, Megumi Kato raised her head again, her pretty face full of seriousness.
But her beautiful eyes flashed with amusement.
Hearing this answer, Haru was immediately overjoyed. The skill was finally within reach.
But then he was stunned, his heart suddenly racing wildly.
"Wait, forget the skill!"
Haru suddenly realized that compared to obtaining the Presence Concealment skill, the fact that Megumi Kato agreed to live with him was far more incredible!
She had actually agreed.
Haru was very clear that with Megumi Kato's personality, she couldn't possibly believe that he could learn extraordinary skills just because of his earlier assurances.
In her eyes, he was still the same kind of chuunibyou as Rikka Takanashi.
If that was the case, why would she still agree to such an excessive request?
Living together was something girls couldn't possibly agree to casually, and for three days at that.
Could it be...
At this moment, no matter how slow Haru was, no matter how inexperienced in romance, he realized something.
His mood became inexplicably nervous.
