Overluck MC

Sai didn't care about the skills he gained and sleep until lunch. Thankfully, his room got an alarm clock.

Waking up in time, he proceeded to the kitchen to help in cooking.

However, when he arrived at the Cafeteria, everyone is acting strange.

Jenseits is just the same as always. She is observing people and always silent.

Miu and Rinko averts their eyes from him while blushing.

Saaya and Isuzu were embarrassed about something.

Lisara, Shion, and Mion looks excited as if they are amused about other's sufferings.

Yukina and Sayaka are enjoying their afternoon tea.

Kyouko is expressionless.

Kazuki looks like she is plotting something.

Sayo looks like she is about to sentence someone to Hell.

And Chisato looks at me with a smile of goodwill. Wait, I sense something dangerous in that smile. It feels like she is really pissed off this time.

I just remember now. The five of them are my Terminals, so, there's no way that they will not know about that doom-bringer of a skill. He will not act like Sakamoto and let himself to be finished off.

(I need to prepare to run away from here, just in case.) (Sai)

He prepared to use Joestar Family's Last Strategy: Running Away and Beyond the Horizon. But he didn't show any signs of suspicion and acted normal.

"Kaiku-san." (Sayo)

"What is it, Sayo?" (Sai)

"Please don't play dumb, Kaiku-san. We already know about that skill." (Sayo)

"Eh?" (Sai)

"This skill." Sayo shows a holographic description for a skill.

Harem Protagonist (EX) [Allows the possibilities for relationsh.i.p.s to happen. Increases the affection that the skill holder receives. Allows the skill holder to communicate with targets that other people cannot communicate with. Allows the skill holder to construct a harem smoother. Allows the skill holder manage conflicts with ease. Increases the chances of a Fateful Encounter occurring. Prevents the decrease of Affection Levels. There's a 5% chance to cast Obsession, Reverence, Devotion, and Fealty on someone with enough Affection Levels for the Skill Holder.]

"All of us are aware that you have no luck with relationsh.i.p.s in your two lives, but I see no need to go this far as to get a skill like this. If you only have told me then I...." Sayo said the last sentence in a soft voice so Sai didn't manage to hear it.

"Anyways, we need an explanation for this, Kaiku-san." (Sayo)

All of them focused their gaze on Sai.

*Sigh SFX* (Sai)

"Unfortunately, even I don't know what's going on. I was alone on a room, asleep and these barrages of announcements woke me up. Do you really think I'm someone who would stoop to such means to get a lover?" (Sai)

*Sigh of Relief SFX* (Every girl except Jenseits)

"I'm glad that you said the truth, Kaiku-san. With this, a misunderstanding is prevented." (Sayo)

(How strange, this is too easy. I'm quite sure that they will going to do something this time. I got a bad feeling about this.) (Sai)

"Sai-san, now that you have a skill that men dreamed of getting, what will you do about it?" Chisato asked me with an ambiguous smile.

"I will seal the skill, since To Be Loved to Death by Yanderes is gone, the skill seal in my Glasses is back to 4 vacant slots." Sai answered as he propped his glasses upwards.

"Huh? Sealing Failed?" (Sai)

"It looks like the Skill Seal works only on Skills Unique Class and below. It cannot seal Forbidden Skills and above." Rinko explained.

"It can't be helped, since the skill is not active and the effects is probably low, it will not gonna do that much. I'll leave it alone for a while. Miu, Saaya, help me in the kitchen." (Sai)

"Got it." Saaya went back to normal and followed him in the kitchen.

Miu didn't say anything and went to the kitchen while blushing.

Confirming that Sai is busy on the kitchen, Sayo look at Yukina and speaks.

"Is that enough, Minato-san?" (Sayo)

"Yes, with this, Sai will not suspect a thing. Let us bide our time and anticipate the right timing." (Yukina)

________________________________________________________________________

After they finished eating, Sai and Chisato were washing the dishes.

"Can I ask you a question, Sai-san?" (Chisato)

"Go on." (Sai)

"In this life, do you plan to fall in love?" (Chisato)

"I don't know." (Sai)

"You don't know?" (Chisato)

"Yeah, I don't know. Although I saw many people lived for the sake of love, I don't what is love. I said that I will do as I like in this life but that doesn't mean I will fall in love. I mean, I lost the capacity to love someone." (Sai)

"Lost the capacity to love?" (Chisato)

"In my first life I have thrown every emotion I have leaving only my Obsession Towards the Apex. In my second life, I did the same in order to perform my duties. Even if you saw me being expressive, that is just the effect of the Trickster Skill. Except to things that is connected to the Apex or my responsibilities, I have lost interest in everything." (Sai)

"Why did you do such a thing?" (Chisato)

"It's because I realized that I'm just a trash." Sai answered with a self-deprecating smile.

"In first and second life, I'm just someone who is destined to die in some place without anyone knowing. I don't have innate abilities nor do I have an excellent mind that can learn. I'm weak, ugly, and dumb. I don't have a powerful family nor someone who can protect me. I'm just a homeless orphan that is being kicked around by the people." (Sai)

"But I d.e.s.i.r.ed something. In my first life, I admire those who learns everything in order to improve themselves. In my second life, I admire those who work hard in order to perform their responsibilities. I wanted to do the same thing but I knew I don't have the abilities needed. I wonder how can I gain the ability to chase my dreams." (Sai)

"And, in my both lives, I have reached the same conclusion." (Sai)

"I will throw away everything except my dream." (Sai)

"I only have diligence and my will. I will not live like any person. I will force my way into my dreams. If others will spend their times in falling in love, with their families, resting, or anything that will make them happy, I will spend my time chasing my dreams. I will not rest excessively nor I will work myself to death, I will just rest enough to regain my energy." (Sai)

"And after so many years of hard work, I finally gain the abilities I needed." (Sai)

"However, before I knew it, I become something that isn't a human anymore. I realized that I lost my humanity. But I have no regrets." (Sai)

"That's why when Yukina confessed to me, I was shaken. My principles didn't allow me to answer her half-heartedly and I must say something that is equivalent to the emotion that she put in her words of confession. But for the me that didn't knew love, that is impossible." (Sai)

Unknown to Sai, Sayo is using her power to let everyone in the dining area hear their conversation. And everyone has went silent after Sai finished speaking.

"He lost everything for his dreams, huh. This is a bad joke." (Lisara)

"I thought you like people with such passion." (Sayaka)

"You idiot, that is not passion. Passion is doing something you enjoy and gaining satisfaction after you accomplished it. But Sai lost even that enjoyment and satisfaction. Even if he accomplishes his dreams, he will feel nothing. How can I like something like that?" (Lisara)

"Sai-san…" (Miu)

"Mion-san, Shion-san, come with me, we're going to practice." (Sayo)

"No need to drag us, Stiff Master." (Shion)

"We will comply, Stiff Master." (Mion)

And with that, Sayo, Mion, and Shion went outside to practice.

"Lisara-san…. I…. also want to practice..." Rinko tugs at Lisara's clothes.

"Ah, got it, Master. So, there you have it, I'm going with my Master." Lisara waved at the others and left with Rinko.

"I will also go and train. Isuzu-san, I want to practice my Golemancy." (Saaya)

"Okay, Master." (Isuzu)

"Looks like despite your achievement of being able to convince the other girls of being Sai's women, Sai's ambition crushed it like that. It seems that my Master got motivated, I guess I need to get ready for training." (Kazuki)

"It's not a futile effort. It will serve its purpose in the future." (Yukina)

"Will you also train, Master?" (Sayaka)

"Yes, I cannot afford being left behind. Matters about love can be prioritized later. For now, we need to get more powerful." (Yukina)

________________________________________________________________________

"Huh? Everyone is gone?" (Sai)

"They went outside to train." (Kazuki)

"Sai-san, I also plan to train outside." (Chisato)

Chisato went outside with Kazuki. Kazuki observes her master for a while and asked her.

"Master, it seems that you're a little different now. Did you finally clear your doubts?"

"I wonder, I did doubt my way of serving Sai, but now I want him to achieve his dream, I don't his sacrifice go to waste. That's my strongest and earnest wish." (Chisato)

________________________________________________________________________

And Sai is left in the Cafeteria with Miu and Kyouko.

"They got motivated all of a sudden. But that is a good thing, since they will need that for what comes next." (Sai)

"Sai-san, you're a little off the mark." (Miu)

"Give up, Miu. Sai will never get it." (Kyouko)

"What are the two of you talking about? Anyways, I want to check out the Ingredients Shop and you two will be going with me. Jenseits you will also go with us." (Sai)

In the Ingredients Shop.

"Oh! To think that they will sell Evil Bone, Dragon Fang, Void Dust, Fool's Chain, Deadly Poisonous Needle, Stake of Wailing Night, Seed of Yggdrasil, Octuplet Crystal, Serpent Jewel, Phoenix Feather, and many more." Sai who saw the merchandise, is now looking at them with sparkling eyes.

"A lot of things to eat, I wonder how strong will I become if I eat them all." Jenseits who saw delicacies in front of her is anticipating eating them.

"There is merchandise, but where is the shopkeeper?" (Miu)

"There is no shopkeeper, and the examinees cannot take out the items without paying for it by holographic transaction." (Kyouko)

"I thought that they will not put much effort here since this is a beta test." (Miu)

"1 Gold Coin for Bronze Materials, 100 Gold Coins for Silver Materials, and 1,000 Gold Coins for Gold Materials. This is much better than farming skeletons for a chance to drop Evil Bones." (Sai)

"They got good energy inside them; I want to eat them now." (Jenseits)

"I guess we need to bring back this father-and-daughter duo to reality, first."
