"They're actually long pants, she even prepared these."
"It seems you, Shouko, you jerk, had this all planned out after all."
Looking at the new clothes laid out before her... Sakiko couldn't help but give a soft huff, tears welling up in her eyes again.
However, she forced herself not to let the tears fall.
And then, her eyes caught sight of the fool tarot card that had been tossed onto the bed.
She reached out to pick up The Fool Card, looking at the exquisitely drawn patterns on it.
A trace of curiosity couldn't help but grow stronger within Sakiko's heart.
"Shouko, you... what kind of person are you exactly?"
"But, really, thank you so much."
She placed the fool tarot card in her hand onto the bed in front of her, treating it as something precious.
Sakiko put on the all-red tracksuit left by Shouko piece by piece.
Seeing the padding inside the white inner shirt, she couldn't help but huff softly again.
"What a calculating bad person..."
"You knew I'd get caught in the rain, and you even prepared for the fact that I'd have no underwear to change into."
Although she was scolding her, the smile on Sakiko's face grew more brilliant.
However... as she put the clothes on and looked at the chest area she couldn't button up.
The smile on Sakiko's face gradually faded, and she was a bit troubled.
"Shouko probably bought a size a bit larger than her own, but I'm much larger than hers."
"But, it should be fine if I put on the jacket, right?"
Hoping for the best, she put the red jacket directly onto her body.
Standing in front of the mirror and seeing that her all-red tracksuit covered everything in front, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, time to go. Once I pick up Dad, I..."
After packing her clothes into a temporary bag, she was about to step out.
But suddenly thinking of something, she turned and hurried back to the bed.
Looking at that beautiful black and red Fool tarot card outlined in gold.
She gave a slight bow, then carefully put it away and placed it in the bag.
Only then did she turn around, take her room card, and head out... After saying goodbye to Sakiko, Shouko also arrived at the station.
However, because Japan here isn't like the subways in her previous life in Shia which had guardrails.
And because it was currently rush hour, there were quite a lot of people around.
So, just in case... she stood directly in a position further back.
This way, even if it was crowded, she wouldn't be accidentally pushed off.
As for the high probability of missing a train or two because of it, it was no big deal.
Safety was most important; having lived another life, she still cherished her own life very much.
Otherwise... she wouldn't have, after obtaining the system to collect anger value,
considered strengthening her body first.
To avoid a situation in the future where she might get beaten up by others for collecting anger value.
After all... people are very fragile; one moment of carelessness and you're gone.
"Ah!!!"
"Dammit, someone jumped on the tracks again. My train home is going to be delayed again."
"Sigh, really, it's such a nuisance for everyone else."
Suddenly, hearing the surrounding crowd buzzing and shouting.
Shouko stood on her tiptoes, peeking her head out to try and catch a glimpse... Unfortunately, as a middle school girl who was small to begin with and standing further back,
it was impossible to see; she was completely blocked by the people in front.
"Forget it, if I can't see, I can't see. At least it's safer back here."
Thinking this, Shouko reached into her pocket and took out her phone.
To be safe, she naturally had her phone on a lanyard around her neck.
"Whoa, so many messages. Let's see..."
"One blessing from Sakiko, oh, and two thank-yous."
"Soyo sent a ton, dozens of them? She even went to my house??"
"I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door with your bags packed."
"Nice, having a girl to sleep on as a pillow tonight isn't a bad result."
"And Tomori, she's actually apologizing to me. It seems she really was hurt pretty badly by my words."
"But, you're too gentle, aren't you? Don't you get angry at all?"
"If you're like this, the guilt in my heart is going to be quite intense."
"In other words, most of the anger I got earlier came from Rikki's side."
"Emmmmm..."
"Sure enough, the messages Rikki sent me are all very strongly worded."
Looking at everyone's various messages except for Mutsumi's, Shouko couldn't help but grin.
Unexpectedly, at this moment... a tall girl next to her bumped into her.
The bump knocked the phone right out of her hand; if it hadn't been for the lanyard around her neck, it would have fallen straight to the ground.
Brows furrowed slightly... Shouko looked up at the crowd around her that was constantly pushing and shoving because the train had arrived.
[anger value, +13.]
[anger value, +14.]
[anger value, +33.]
"Eh??"
"So I can absorb it even if I wasn't the one who caused it."
"Though it's a bit small..."
"But as long as anger is generated around me, I can absorb it all??"
Looking at the dense pop-ups of anger values constantly appearing before her eyes.
The displeasure from her phone being bumped while being shoved earlier quickly vanished.
"It didn't matter that I didn't come to this station before, but I'll have to come here often in the future."
"In just this short amount of time, it directly increased my anger value to over twenty thousand."
Seeing the crowd in front of her gradually thin out as the train departed.
Looking at the system interface before her, the smile on Shouko's face grew even more radiant.
[anger value: 21,123 points.]
[Items: Ten-Minute Real Man Sticker, x2.]
[Ability: Mind Perception: Countdown: 71 hours. Mind strengthened by double, body strengthened by double.]
[system store: Opened, can be called up automatically.]
[Note: anger values can be harvested by making others feel displeased. The system store functions can be upgraded upon reaching 100,000.]
"Satisfying, so satisfying!!!"
While she was excited over here... the person next to her glanced at the staff who had already started going down onto the tracks to clean up the remains.
Unconsciously, with a strange expression, they moved two steps to the side, distancing themselves from Shouko.
They were afraid that the somewhat eccentric Shouko might do something terrifying in the next moment.
After all... over the years, eccentric girls in Japan have truly been emerging one after another!!!
