Multiversal Friendship System-Chapter 177 - 176: Don’t use my divine power for weird things!

Three days had passed since Souta returned to his world from the world of Date A Live.

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

During those three days, he had been accompanying Miku on outings around Rindouji City.

Ever since Miku met Asakura Hiyori, she had become much more cheerful and bright.

At the same time, her reliance on Souta also deepened.

They enjoyed food, watched movies, shopped for clothes, played games, sang karaoke... Miku dragged Souta along to try pretty much every activity typical of friendly dates. For convenience, she even changed how she addressed him—switching from "dear" to "darling"—which made Souta feel like he was being treated as Itsuka Shido.

Miku even tried to persuade Souta to wear a school uniform and sneak into her all-girls' high school to attend class with her, which he firmly refused.

In short, Miku's enthusiasm for having fun was off the charts—like she was letting out all the gloom from the past year.

She only stopped after her manager caught her at the school gate and forcibly took her to an idol event.

"Darling, make sure to come visit me often, okay?"

Before Souta left, Miku looked at him reluctantly, on the verge of tears.

Her expression filled Souta with guilt, as if he were abandoning her. Honestly, Miku was getting really good at acting spoiled.

"I'll come by when I have time," was all Souta could promise.

"So half-hearted..." Miku pouted.

Then, as if she thought of something amusing, she suddenly brightened up and giggled:

"Darling, if you come early next time, I'll 'serve' you with that part..."

"...What are you talking about?" Souta instinctively glanced at Miku's voluptuous chest. "I seriously don't understand a word."

"Being dishonest is one of your bad habits, darling." Miku giggled behind her hand. "Back at the convention center, when my chest was pressed tightly against yours, down below was very... excited, you know. I could feel it with my stomach. Even though you held back quickly, there was definitely a reaction. And girls... are very sensitive to that."

"..." Souta coughed awkwardly, embarrassed. "Miku, this kind of thing... you're not supposed to say it out loud!"

"Why hold back, darling?" Miku asked.

"Because of what you went through," Souta sighed. "I was afraid you might feel uncomfortable."

"Not at all," Miku shook her head and smiled gently. "You don't have to tiptoe around me, darling. I may dislike men, but I don't dislike you."

Souta's expression turned odd. That kinda sounded like she was saying he wasn't a man?

Miku continued, "If you're a little pervy toward me, it's okay too."

She leaned in, grabbed Souta's hand, and pressed it to her collarbone, letting him feel her soft skin, then whispered temptingly:

"If you come early next time... I'll let you touch a little lower..."

A light blush spread across Miku's cheeks, and she added softly:

"...in all kinds of positions."

After saying that, she darted off, probably too embarrassed herself.

Though she ran off, she left Souta filled with steamy thoughts that took quite a while to calm down.

He looked in the direction she left and sighed.

He could tell Miku was trying to win his heart, which made his feelings complicated.

He felt more and more like a sinner.

He couldn't bring himself to give her up...

But he hadn't made up his mind to start a harem either.

For now, he decided to go with the flow.

Thinking that, he stopped overthinking and returned to his world.

—

Back in his rented apartment, Souta suddenly remembered something and felt a twinge of regret.

Miku's affection was probably high enough.

But unfortunately, she wasn't a member of the group, so he couldn't extract any powers from her.

"When I have more points later, I can buy an invitation for her."

He made a mental note.

The system had told him before that abilities to be cultivated into "Authority" or even "Law class" powers had to either be drawn from group members or won from the store's lottery.

Other powers were useless—empty shells.

Not practical.

So sending Miku an invitation was like spending 10,000 points to get a potential "law class" ability... No! He couldn't think that way!

He slapped his cheeks... Friendship is priceless—it shouldn't be measured with money!

He corrected his thinking.

Inviting Miku was about bringing her into this circle of friendship, not about exploiting her powers.

"But seriously, if I could get the 'Gabriel: Army-Breaking Songstress' power and develop it... could it evolve beyond influencing human thoughts into a language-based universal influence, like a 'Great Prophecy' skill?"

He started entertaining a wild idea.

If that came true, he'd basically be able to shape reality with his words.

Just as he was lost in this beautiful fantasy, his system phone buzzed.

He pulled it out and saw a message in the group chat.

Altair: "Gotta say, Souta's divine power is amazing! I'm addicted. When Meteora and the others came to mess with me, I was about to be rejected by the world due to insufficient 'recognition power.' I tried using divine power to stabilize myself, thinking I might have to retreat. But to my surprise, it converted into recognition power, stabilized me, and let me beat them up! Respect!"

Kurumi Tokisaki: "I agree. Especially for daily life, divine power is insanely convenient. The food in Akame ga Kill's world is weird, but thanks to divine power, I can make all kinds of dishes. Otherwise, I wouldn't even want to stay here."

Shiroyasha: "I just used divine power to make a few outfits. I only specified 'sexy,' 'suggestive,' and 'teasing' as criteria, and wished for random creation—and bam! The divine power made clothes that perfectly fit my taste. It's amazing! I declare it the most versatile power!"

Shinobu: "I manifested blood that tastes like black tea using divine power. It's absolutely delicious. Gotta praise it too—so handy!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Damn it, why don't I have any points? Why hasn't the system given me a task? I want to buy divine power too!"

Souta: "Wait a sec! Where did you all get divine power?!"

Altair: "From the store using points, of course. What's the issue?"

Souta: "..."

Souta: "I've been stockpiling that divine power to nurture Authority level abilities! Please don't use it for weird stuff!"

He felt both amused and frustrated.

These people... what were they treating his divine power as?

Such a waste!

Souta: "Seriously, stop buying it. I need it for something important."

Altair: "But it's really convenient. Just buying a little won't hurt, right? I only get a bit each time. Doesn't affect your big plan."

Shiroyasha: "Kid, I'm not gonna listen. Unless you take it off the store, I'll keep buying when I run low. Hehe."

Kurumi Tokisaki: "Oh dear, now that you've said that, Souta, I want to buy it even more~ Fufufu."

Souta: "..."

Souta: "Don't say I didn't warn you—points are super important! The system's going to unlock support for understanding laws soon. That definitely won't be free. It'll burn through points fast. If you run out, you'll just be stuck staring at a golden opportunity."

Souta: "We've got 8 members in the group now. Once we get one more, the support system will activate. Watch your spending. That new member might show up any second."

[Ninth invitation has been sent]

[Tenth invitation has been sent]

Souta: "..."

Kurumi Tokisaki: "Oh my~ Seems like you've got more than just 'Negotiation Bias' as a talent, Souta. You've got the 'jinx' skill too. I'm getting more and more interested in you~"
