Tokyo: I Sheltered the Homeless girl (1-156).

Summary

In this chapter, Sawayama Haruno reflects on his current situation and the tasks he must complete to earn rewards like "Skill Enhancement." As he thinks about a recent phone call with his ex, Maki Miyazawa, he feels conflicted about meeting her due to the implications of their conversation. To distract himself, he decides to focus on writing his book and makes good progress, reaching around 32,000 words. However, when he checks on Maki, he finds her asleep on the sofa in a rather undignified position. Haruno considers how to "punish" her for slacking off on household duties and recalls how ticklish she is. He decides to press on a sensitive spot on her foot to wake her and correct her behavior. As he begins to apply pressure, Maki stirs and reacts with both surprise and embarrassment. The scene becomes intimate as Maki finds herself unable to resist the sensations, and the power dynamics shift between them. Despite her protests, Haruno playfully interrogates her about her "mistakes" for sleeping in, leading to an unexpected moment of vulnerability and attraction between the two.
