Life As Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 554: A Slightly Risqué New Ability

Seeing Saeko's swordsmanship suddenly advance to Level 5, Hachiman was momentarily stunned.

What's going on here? Have I turned into a power bank?

He could now even upgrade the skills of the girls around him? But… wasn't this method of upgrading a bit…

Emmmm.

This setup—why does it have a certain risqué vibe?

Moreover, Hachiman realized that he had just transmitted nearly ten thousand proficiency points to Saeko, yet his module level hadn't changed at all.

Well, it made sense when he thought about it. After all, ∞ minus anything is still ∞.

But why did he suddenly gain this kind of ability? Was it another skill unlocked by maxing out some new module?

The problem was, even Hachiman himself had no idea how many modules he currently had.

Was it over twenty? Or fifty? Maybe even more than a hundred? He had long since lost track of how many modules he had loaded.

And as for how many of those modules were maxed out, Hachiman couldn't be bothered to count either.

...

Seeing Hachiman's blank, lifeless expression, Saeko and Kotonoha exchanged a worried glance.

You're already here, so why aren't you moving?

Could it be… he's… not up to it?

Of course, that was impossible. After all, Saeko could clearly feel it herself—the heat and fullness were no different from usual.

Thinking for a moment, Saeko decided to call out to him again. "Hachiman, what's wrong?"

This time, her voice seemed to work. A spark of light returned to Hachiman's eyes as if he'd just woken from a dream, and he looked down at Saeko beneath him.

"Ah, what is it, Saeko?"

Seeing him finally respond, both girls let out a sigh of relief. Saeko hurriedly asked again, "Hachiman, are you okay? Were you thinking about something?"

Hachiman's expression turned a little strange at her question.

"Saeko, do you feel… any different?"

"Me?"

Saeko froze for a moment, then focused on sensing if there was anything unusual about herself.

The next moment, her eyes widened in shock.

"I… I feel like my swordsmanship just had a breakthrough?!"

"That's right, Saeko. You're not mistaken—your swordsmanship really did advance." Hachiman nodded.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" x2

The two girls were completely bewildered by his words.

What was going on here?

"I can't explain the specifics either," Hachiman admitted, shaking his head instead of resolving their confusion.

"Saeko, I need to run an experiment next. Can you help me?"

"An experiment? Sure."

Saeko didn't hesitate. Her trust in Hachiman was unconditional.

"What do you need me to—ah…"

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, a soft and enticing moan escaped her lips.

At this point, Hachiman finally began to focus on what he was supposed to be doing.

He picked up the pace.

Watching the two of them, Kotonoha blushed and felt a little shy on the side.

Even though they had experienced this together numerous times before, Kotonoha still had a thin skin and couldn't help but blush.

However, despite her embarrassment, she didn't leave. Instead, with a reddened face, she quietly approached Hachiman from behind.

In an instant, the room was filled with a palpable atmosphere of intimacy.

---

By 3 PM, after a long "battle," Hachiman had successfully collected his experimental data.

From the experiment, he concluded that not only could he help the girls improve their skill levels through direct proficiency transfer, but certain high-protein pure milk could also achieve similar results.

However, the skill proficiency gained through this method was far slower compared to direct transmission.

Even so, this method had another unique advantage:

By drinking this milk, the girls not only increased the proficiency of their existing modules but also had a chance to unlock entirely new ones.

Of course, these newly unlocked modules started at Level 1, and they were limited to modules Hachiman had already loaded.

For instance, just now, after Hachiman had "helped" the two girls three times each, both of them unlocked new modules.

Saeko unlocked Tennis, while Kotonoha unlocked Martial Arts.

The sudden influx of new knowledge left both girls momentarily stunned.

Before long, however, they had fully assimilated the new information.

"Hachiman, I think I just gained some knowledge about tennis," Saeko said, her voice tinged with confusion.

On the other side, Kotonoha nodded. "Saeko-nee, me too! Except for me, it was knowledge about martial arts."

"What's going on?" x2

Seeing the curiosity on their faces, Hachiman let out a small sigh, gathered his thoughts, and began to speak.

"Saeko, Kotonoha, there's actually something I've been keeping from you."

"Actually… I'm a Hero."

"A Hero?!"

Hearing this fantastical title, both girls widened their eyes in disbelief.

Their reactions didn't surprise Hachiman in the slightest. Calmly, he began to deliver his usual explanation.

A Hero… an Angel… Holy Light…

These terms, which sounded like they belonged in anime or novels, left Saeko and Kotonoha a little dazed.

But at the same time, it answered a long-standing question in their hearts:

Why was Hachiman so exceptional, able to do practically anything, and excel at everything he tried?

It turned out his true identity was a Hero. That explained everything.

With this realization, Saeko couldn't help but ask, "So, my sudden breakthrough in swordsmanship, and the new knowledge that appeared in our minds, those are also Hero abilities?"

"Well… I guess you could say that," Hachiman replied, a bit unsure how to explain further.

"To be honest, I only discovered these abilities today."

"Didn't expect them to be so convenient, though."

It seemed he could now help the girls "level up" whenever he wanted.

Hearing this, Saeko and Kotonoha couldn't help but blush as they lightly scoffed at him.

Convenient? It clearly required them to… consume that.

Not that they disliked it, of course… but still.

Was this really a Hero's ability? Why did it feel so indecent?

Seeing their flustered expressions, Hachiman raised an eyebrow with a sly grin.

"I think the data I collected earlier wasn't sufficient. I'll need more samples."

With that, he pushed Saeko and Kotonoha back onto the bed, his hands moving swiftly.

The two girls quickly found themselves immersed in the moment, their skin tinged with a faint pink hue, their eyes shimmering with a moist glow.

Seeing this, Hachiman wasted no time, intertwining the two of them together.

Lance Strike!

With a soft cry, the room was soon filled with the symphony of passion.

As time passed, the solo melody gradually transformed into a harmonious duet, filling the room with a vibrant and intimate atmosphere.
