"I knew the God of Systems wouldn't abandon every Transmigrator."
Thinking about how he had attempted charcoal suicide, was heavily in debt, and might even have his kidneys harvested by the Gang...
Kobayashi Itsuki could only say that this System had arrived just in time!
After waiting for a moment, the Perfect Life System successfully activated.
Kobayashi Itsuki couldn't wait any longer and immediately began checking the functions of the System he had desperately waited for in his mind.
The Perfect Life System is dedicated to helping the Host create a perfect life.
It allows the Host to obtain treasure chests through daily interactions with others.
Depending on the degree of intimacy with the Host, different quality treasure chests can be obtained.
The Chest levels, from lowest to highest, are [White], [Green], [Blue], [Purple], [Gold], and [Red].
These correspond to several different levels of relationship.
A Nodding Acquaintance can obtain a White treasure chest, being Somewhat Concerned grants Green, Very Concerned grants Blue, and so on.
This intimacy level works both positively and negatively.
Even negative relationships count.
Opening a treasure chest can yield many things, including but not limited to money, items, and even skills.
"Opening treasure chests, huh?"
Looking at the description of his System's functions, a look of interest appeared on Kobayashi Itsuki's face.
For him right now, he wasn't asking to suddenly soar into the sky and become a Superman or anything similar.
As long as it could temporarily alleviate his difficult living situation, Kobayashi Itsuki felt it was excellent.
Looking at his System panel, Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes moved because he saw that the light blue page showed he had a White treasure chest waiting to be opened, and next to it was the white name, Higashimatsuyama Yone.
'It's the Policewoman from earlier today.'
'It seems the System started calculating the moment I arrived in this world.'
Kobayashi Itsuki understood.
That Policewoman was the first person he had met in this world.
The memories of the original body were not included in the calculation.
'Let me see what's inside this White treasure chest.'
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the treasure chest expectantly and silently murmured in his mind.
'Open White treasure chest.'
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one pack of Dried Noodles.]
Kobayashi Itsuki fell silent looking at the line of text that appeared before him.
Although he knew a White treasure chest wouldn't yield anything great, just one pack of Dried Noodles felt a little too meager.
He had stripped down, only to be shown this?
Just this?
"It's alright, it's alright. After all, it's food, and it's something I urgently need right now."
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the Dried Noodles that had appeared in his hand out of thin air and could only comfort himself this way.
However, what pleasantly surprised Kobayashi Itsuki was that items acquired from the System could be freely stored and retrieved from the System, essentially acting as a [Storage Space]
But this only applied to items produced by the System; other things could not be stored.
"This function is quite useful; it will be very convenient in many situations."
Having more or less figured out the functions of his System,
Kobayashi Itsuki focused his attention on the name Higashimatsuyama Yone.
When he heard the name earlier in the day, he felt a sense of familiarity, but because he wasn't feeling well at the time, he couldn't concentrate enough to think about it.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Kobayashi Itsuki found it increasingly familiar.
It seemed to be a character from some anime work.
"Could it be that I didn't transmigrate to an ordinary parallel world, but an anime world?"
Thinking of this possibility, Kobayashi Itsuki frowned deeply.
"A parallel world would be fine, but an anime world would be a bit troublesome."
"Don't tell me one day I'll suddenly have to go to Shibuya to fight Sukuna?"
Although there are slice-of-life anime worlds where everyone is ordinary, the vast majority of anime worlds possess the existence of transcendent power.
Encountering this kind of power, an ordinary person like him would have no fate other than death.
"I hope it's not a world like Tokyo Ghoul, Parasyte, or Highschool of the Dead, which doesn't give you time to grow."
Kobayashi Itsuki took a deep breath and checked the time.
From getting up to eat cup noodles, making plans, and activating the System... several hours had passed without him realizing it.
It was now eight o'clock in the morning, judging by the sky outside the window.
Kobayashi Itsuki folded the plan he was holding, put it away in his pocket, and then took out a blank sheet of paper to write a letter of thanks.
After finishing the letter of thanks, he folded it, searched around the house, and found an archive bag.
Once everything was ready, Kobayashi Itsuki went to the bathroom to wash up.
He took a shower and changed his clothes; he looked significantly more refreshed.
After getting himself ready, Kobayashi Itsuki headed out.
It was past eight o'clock, the shops on the street were already open, and many office workers were walking to their companies.
However, this bustling scene, in Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes, seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist.
There was no positive atmosphere or vitality; the overall feeling was one of negativity.
Everything was lifeless, dull, and oppressive.
All of this was caused by the Bubble Economy.
Following the memories in his mind, Kobayashi Itsuki first went to a shop and bought an envelope, then sealed the letter of thanks he had written inside.
Then he walked toward the Kōban in Futaba Town.
Kōbans are primarily established in areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as city streets, bustling commercial districts, and transportation hubs.
It is one of the police's duty bases, usually an independent small booth or a small building.
This was Kobayashi Itsuki's destination.
Having just arrived in this world, although he had the original body's memories,
the original owner was a gambling addict who had lost all his assets in the stock market and hadn't paid attention to anything else before attempting charcoal suicide.
Now, for Kobayashi Itsuki to find a decent job during this period of mass unemployment would definitely be extremely difficult.
At this time, he needed "acquaintances" to help him out.
Higashimatsuyama Yone from yesterday was an excellent candidate.
Not only could he ask her if she had any information of that sort, but he could also use yesterday's incident as an opportunity to give her a letter of thanks and, incidentally, boost his favorability rating.
After exchanging names yesterday, the Nodding Acquaintance relationship yielded a White Chest.
If he could manage to get a Green Chest today, that would be great.
The White Chest wasn't very good; surely the Green Chest would be better?
This was truly killing two birds with one stone.
After walking for about ten minutes, a building slightly larger than a security booth appeared around the street corner ahead.
It read "Futaba Town Kōban" on it.
Standing guard at the entrance was a male police officer, not very tall and around thirty years old. Just by looking at his bored expression as he glanced left and right, it was clear he wasn't particularly dedicated to his job.
Kobayashi Itsuki walked straight toward him and asked politely,
"Hello, is Officer Higashimatsu in?"
The male police officer, who had just been spacing out, looked at Kobayashi Itsuki with some surprise upon hearing the question.
"Higashimatsu?"
"What do you need her for?"
