Chapter 75 - A Little Gift for Nanami

"Since you are a senior VIP, your points can be used for a free lucky draw with which you can potentially get a grand prize."

The store manager handed over the tablet with a smile, displaying a lucky draw interface.

"Alright."

Tenya had a try-it-out attitude and didn't hold out too much hope.

After all, lucky draws are just for fun.

"Ding~"

As the pointer spun, a screen showed a colorful gift box opening.

Congratulations! You've won the special prize: this purchase is free, and you'll also receive an extra set of headphones!

"It's actually the special prize?!"

The store manager's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

Having been a store manager for so many years, he had some understanding of the platform's lucky draw mechanism.

He estimated the probability wasn't much higher than winning the lottery.

But he encountered a win today?

"Congratulations, this is the special prize!"

Nanami was genuinely happy for him, her face full of pleasant surprise.

"Luck...?"

Tenya was lost in thought.

It seems the God of Wealth skill had an effect!

Getting a wristwatch for free, how wonderful!

"Guest, this is your extra prize."

The store manager took out a rectangular gift box.

"FreeBudsLipstick2? This thing doesn't seem to suit me."

This is a lipstick-designed version, suitable for female users.

Nanami said, "Then you can give it to your girlfriend."

Nanami gazed intently at the lipstick-designed headphones, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

"No, I just think, if I give it to a girlfriend, it probably won't be enough." Tenya shook his head and said.

With so many girlfriends, who should he give it to?

"Not enough?"

Nanami looked confused, clearly not understanding what he meant.

The store manager, however, instantly understood and immediately showed a look of admiration.

You young man, it turns out you're very ambitious.

"Here~ I'll give this to you."

Tenya casually tossed the headphones to Nanami.

"Eh?"

"Give it to me?"

"This... How can I?!"

Nanami was startled at first, then quickly tried to politely decline.

Tenya said with a light laugh, "Don't be polite, it's just a free gift anyway."

"I should actually thank you for bringing me luck."

"No, no, no! I can't accept your gift!" Nanami shook her head vigorously.

Although she was poor, she had high aspirations. She absolutely would not take things that didn't belong to her.

"Store manager." Tenya gave the store manager a look.

'I understand! You want to pursue her!'

The store manager was naturally happy to help him.

In his opinion, Nanami was a very diligent girl, working part-time to earn money for her dream of becoming a voice actress.

But her life was too difficult...

Why not take a shortcut and find a rich boyfriend?!

The store manager said, "Aoyama, have you forgotten the service tenet of our store?"

"Customer first!"

"As long as it's a reasonable request, you cannot refuse!"

"But, store manager..."

"No buts! Since it's the customer's request, we should try our best to satisfy it!"

Just like that, under the store manager's persuasion, Nanami half-reluctantly accepted the headphones.

"Thank you, Yoshida-kun."

"I... I will return the favor later!"

Nanami made a serious promise.

"No, I have already received your return gift." Tenya looked at the system prompt and said.

[Ding!]

[Detected that Aoyama Nanami's favorability towards the Host has reached 55%]

[Points + 100]

[Ding!]

[Detected Aoyama Nanami's favorability towards the Host has reached 74%]

[Points + 200]

"My return gift?"

Nanami looked bewildered.

"Nanami-chan~ Your smile is the best return gift!"

As soon as Tenya finished speaking, he turned and left in a dashing manner.

Putting on a show and then running off feels great!

Giving the free headphones he got to Nanami and getting 300 points in return, it was definitely a huge profit!

Coming out of the store, Tenya, in a great mood, wandered around the mall again.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a large crowd gathered in a certain exhibition area in the mall lobby.

"Is that Kasumi-sensei?"

"So beautiful! She's a super beauty!"

"She looks so young, could she be a high school student?"

The one attracting everyone's attention was none other than Utaha.

At this time, under the arrangement of the publisher, she was holding a light novel autograph session.

The popularity on site was explosive, mainly with female fans.

"Does that 'Love Metronome' really have so many readers?" Tenya showed a hint of curiosity on his face.

In his previous world, he was quite interested in writing novels, but unfortunately, several books he wrote failed.

However, what truly interested him was not just the novel...

"Kasumi-sensei! I'm your super loyal fan!!"

"I really like Sayuka in your book!"

Facing these true fans, Utaha was very moved. She not only wrote an autograph but also shook hands cordially with the other party.

"Thank you for your support!"

"I will continue to create as always!"

Next...

It was the turn of a messy and dirty otaku.

Among the vast female fans, he stood out as very unusual.

"Kasumi-sensei! I finally see you!"

"Do you know? I am the reincarnation of Naboto, the male protagonist in your book!!!"

Kento nervously rubbed his sweaty palms, eagerly anticipating shaking hands with Utaha.

"Sorry."

"I think you've mistaken me for someone else."

"The male protagonist in my book is named Naoto!"

Utaha's face darkened.

She had heard a little about incidents of people pretending to be fans to harass authors.

She just didn't expect to encounter this incident at her first autograph session.

"Isn't it all the same?"

"Anyway, I don't care!"

"I've been queuing for two hours, at least shake my hand!"

Kento became agitated. Seeing that Utaha had refused, he intended to force it.

"Security!"

The organizer seemed experienced in dealing with such incidents. Security guards rushed up immediately and restrained Kento who was attempting to do something.

"Let-let go of me!"

"You bastards!"

"I and Kasumi-sensei will be together forever!"

Kento threw a tantrum on the spot, drawing a wave of scolding from the crowd.
