Multiverse: SSS-Rank Treasure Chest at the Beginning

Because Ruri was always alone at school, nobody understood her, and nobody knew her.

Now that a "native of the dark world" had finally appeared, it was inevitable she would want to get closer.

"I'm hungry right now, let's go eat at your place." Tenya said casually.

"Ah, this..."

Ruri was startled upon hearing this, and then her face showed a conflicted expression.

Huh?

She didn't refuse immediately?

So there's a chance!

A sharp glint flashed in Tenya's eyes.

"Please!"

"As a native of the dark world, I really want to eat the Nightmare Queen's lunch no matter what."

Tenya clasped his hands together, looking very devout.

"Really, I can't do anything about you..."

"The Nightmare Queen will not abandon any devout dark follower."

Ruri reached out and fiddled with her hair, keeping a serious face, but feeling extremely joyful inside.

Her closed inner world was unknowingly opened with a crack.

...

"Black Cat, which station do we get off at?"

Tenya and Ruri rode the bus together.

Eh?

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Ruri had a bewildered look on her face.

She actually brought a guy she met for the first time home to eat.

Could she have been controlled by the other party's Sharingan?

At this moment, Ruri was panicking inside.

Tenya heard her inner thoughts and retorted, 'Using Sharingan to hypnotize, wouldn't that become a cliché plot?'

But if you talk about influence, there actually is some.

Having the passive skill Affinity indeed makes it easier to gain others' goodwill.

"XXX station..."

Since she had agreed, Ruri couldn't say anything to make the other party leave midway, so she could only brace herself and pretend to be calm.

"Oh?"

"Then there are just two more stations, we'll be there soon."

Tenya smiled slightly.

"..."

Ruri fell silent again. But her psychological activity was exceptionally high.

Tenya found it amusing to watch but didn't speak to disturb her.

The two were silent the whole way, and the bus arrived at the station.

"Get off here..."

Ruri whispered softly, and was the first to get off the bus.

Tenya nodded and followed the other party off the bus.

"Is this the Nightmare Queen's lair?"

Tenya looked at the old small bungalow ahead.

Although it looked old, the inside and outside were cleaned very neatly, showing the family's living habits.

"Welcome to my humble abode."

Ruri took a deep breath, trying hard to appear calmer.

As the sound of the key being inserted into the lock rang out, cheerful footsteps came from inside the house.

"Ruri-nee, are you back?"

Behind the main entrance.

What came into view was a mischievous and cute little girl, one large and one small.

"Yo~"

"Hello."

Tenya greeted the two girls with a smile.

"Eh?!"

"A man?!"

"Ruri-nee actually brought a man home!"

"I was wondering why sister has been so mysterious lately. I thought it was just another made-up dark contract setting, I didn't expect it to be real!"

Hinata's eyes lit up, and she looked Tenya up and down with a curious expression.

"Wow!"

"Such a super handsome guy!"

"How could he fancy Ruri-nee... Ow ow ow!!"

Hinata's unrestrained mouth finally attracted the Nightmare Queen's demonic claw punishment.

"Hinata! If you talk nonsense again, I'll punish and destroy your lunch!"

Ruri pressed her hand on her younger sister's forehead, pinching it painfully.

"Hello, big brother."

Unlike the mischievous second sister, the third sister Tamaki seemed much quieter.

"Mm... So well-behaved!"

Tenya took out two lollipops from his pocket.

He gave them to Ruri's two younger sisters respectively.

"Wow! It's the crown jewel among lollipops!" Hinata's eyes sparkled.

"Thank you big brother, Kirino likes it so much." Tamaki showed an innocent smile.

"You're quite good at coaxing children." Ruri said in surprise.

"Black Cat has one too." Tenya took out a third one.

"Do you think I'm a child?!" Ruri said speechlessly.

...

They sat down in the living room.

"I'll go make tea first. Hinata, Kirino, don't disturb the guest."

Ruri warned them and turned towards the kitchen.

Hinata immediately came closer and asked with a curious expression, "Tenya, can I call you that?"

"Yes, you can."

"Then how did Tenya meet Ruri-nee?"

"By paying for services."

"Huh—Eh?!"

Hinata instantly became dumbfounded, her young mind seemed to have received a huge shock.

"Purchasing services... Could it be the legendary Papa Katsu?!"

"What's Papa Katsu? Is it a cooking game?" Tamaki looked bewildered.

This one is truly pure.

"Little Hinata, you're not being serious."

"The service I mentioned purchasing is programming outsourcing, simply put, it's developing a game."

Tenya thought to himself, today's elementary school students sure know a lot.

"So, that's how it is..."

Hinata immediately looked embarrassed.

She knew that her sister's self-taught "dark magic" was actually computer programming.

"The tea is ready, what are you guys talking about?"

Ruri walked over carrying the tea, looking suspiciously at her sister who liked to cause trouble.

"No, nothing..."

Hinata's eyes darted around, looking guilty.

"Hinata?" Ruri narrowed her eyes.

"Speaking of which, aren't your parents home?" Tenya looked around the house.

It was a two-bedroom apartment, both rooms were quite narrow, not as good as the apartment he lived in alone.

This shows that the Gokou family's financial situation is not very good.

The outsourcing jobs Ruri took online were partly out of interest, and partly out of consideration for earning money.

"Both of my parents are workers, and they have to work overtime this weekend." Ruri explained.

Ordinary workers raising three children, it's definitely hard work.

After sitting for a while, it was lunchtime.
