I am a freeloader in the anime world

Su Yang didn't know why he stayed with a stranger. Maybe it was because the girl had a stunning appearance? Or maybe he didn't want a vibrant life to die before experiencing this colorful world? Or maybe he was infected by the girl's sadness?

Su Yang didn’t know, and wasn’t clear about it. He only knew that it was appropriate for him to sit here at this moment.

"Who are you?" After an unknown amount of time, the girl next to Su Yang suddenly spoke.

Although the girl did not face Su Yang, Su Yang knew that she was asking him. After all, there was no one else around except himself, right?

"I'm just a passerby who couldn't bear to see the world lose such a brilliant life." Su Yang said something a bit childish on impulse.

"Do you know that the cruelest way to commit suicide in this world is to jump off a building or throw yourself into a speeding car?" Su Yang said, "Although jumping off a building seems to be refreshing and painless, the feeling of weightlessness when falling will make the person regret it, but there will be no chance for the person to regret it. Moreover, if the floor is high enough, the person will become a meat paste, and the meat paste will radiate out in a circle, and the farthest can even fly a hundred meters. Not only that..."

"Has anyone told you that you are not suitable to comfort others?" The girl interrupted Su Yang.

"No," Su Yang said, "After all, I'm not a staff member of a suicide hotline that specializes in comforting people who want to commit suicide late at night."

The girl was silent. She didn't say anything else. She just watched the vehicles speeding past in front of her quietly as before.

Su Yang didn't say anything either. In his perception, Su Yang no longer felt that determination to die.

So, Su Yang sat quietly like an ordinary girl, watching the speeding vehicles.

"Shiina Mahiru."

An unknown amount of time had passed. The sky had already darkened, and the girl spoke again. This time, she said a name.

Su Yang knew that this name should be the girl's name. He smiled and said his own name. Of course, it was definitely not his real name.

"Hoshino Yuu."

"Hoshino Yuu?" After hearing the name Su Yang said, Shiina Mahiru pondered for a while, because she seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, "The violent murderer from Sobu High School?"

"Haha." Su Yang smiled, "Not bad, people from other schools have heard of my name, it seems that I am quite famous."

Su Yang did not know Shiina Mahiru before, but he recognized the school uniform that Shiina Mahiru was wearing. It was the school uniform of Binhai National High School, which was only a few hundred meters away from Sobu High School.

"..."

"Hoshino-san, this doesn't seem like a good reputation to be happy about, does it?" Shiina Mahiru was puzzled.

"What difference does it make whether you have a good reputation or not? As the saying goes, whether you are black or red, you are still red. Why do you care so much about the opinions of outsiders?" Su Yang said disapprovingly. He has never valued his reputation, and a bad reputation can help him avoid some troubles. What's wrong with that?

"Besides, what does a good or bad reputation matter? As long as the people I care about know what kind of person I am, that's enough. If a person has to pay attention to this and that, how can he live freely? As long as it does not violate the law and morality, living freely is the most important thing."

"Besides, I'm not some wealthy man, it's impossible for everyone to like me. If that's the case, why should I care about everyone's opinions? I only need to care about those who are sincere to me."

"As long as I care about those who are sincere to me, it will be fine?" Shiina Mahiru was infected by Su Yang's carefree attitude. She whispered in a low voice, "I understand."

As Shiina Mahiru finished her words, the heavy rain stopped.

"I understand." Su Yang nodded and prepared to get up and leave.

After all, from the very beginning, Su Yang came to this small park to avoid the rain. Now that the rain has stopped, it is time for him to leave. It is not comfortable to wear wet clothes. The sticky feeling makes Su Yang feel terrible. Moreover, because he just fell from the tree, a lot of dirty water was stuck on his clothes, and they were constantly emitting a fishy smell, which was even worse.

Coo~coo~

Just then, Su Yang's stomach made a noise.

"Uh..." Su Yang looked at Shiina Mahiru awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm hungry, so I have to leave and can't stay with you any longer. Anyway, please don't think too much. After all, there are ways to get through difficult and desperate situations. It's just that you haven't thought of it now. As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he will naturally open a window for you."

After saying that, Su Yang turned around and left without staying for long.

"Wait a minute!" Shiina Mahiru called Su Yang just after he took two steps out. "I don't know how far Hoshino's home is, but my apartment is nearby. How about you go to my apartment and take a shower first? After all, it's easy to catch a cold if you walk on the street in wet clothes."

"This..." Su Yang turned his head away hesitantly. It would be good to take a shower first, but compared to taking a shower, eating was obviously more appealing to him. After all, he did not go to the Service Club this afternoon, and Yukinoshita Yukino would naturally leave his uneaten lunch box waiting for him in the Service Club to prevent him from starving.

"My cooking skills are pretty good, and I have the ingredients in my apartment. Besides, I want to thank Hoshino-san for his advice. If you don't mind, please allow me to cook dinner for you to express my gratitude." Shiina Mahiru continued.

This time, Shiina Mahiru's proposal was more attractive to Su Yang than the previous proposal of taking a bath.

After all, with Su Yang's physique, wearing wet clothes would not make him catch a cold. At most, it would just make him feel a little uncomfortable.

But eating is different. As a glutton, eating is the most important thing in the world!

Why did Su Yang work so hard to complete the missions of the Time Travel Bureau in the past twenty years? Wasn't it just to quickly accumulate enough mission merits to modify the attributes of his Son of Life talent? Wasn't it just to be able to go into the city and have a full meal?

You know, it is very difficult to eat enough in the wild. Of course, if it is an ordinary person, it is definitely not difficult. Even if you don’t know which plants and fungi can be eaten, there are still animals. You can eat meat to get full. But Su Yang is not an ordinary person. He has the talent of the Son of Life. He can hear the voices of all creatures and can sense whether various creatures have wisdom.

As a former Stellaris player, Su Yang did not feel too much psychological burden in processing intelligent creatures into canned food in the game.

But in real life, Su Yang cannot treat intelligent creatures as food. In his eyes, eating those intelligent animals is almost the same as eating humans. His conscience as a human being prevents him from eating intelligent animals, and he can't even eat the corpses of intelligent animals.

Fortunately, as domestic animals, they do not develop intelligence, otherwise Su Yang would have to be a miserable vegetarian.

(PS: There will be another chapter later, which is an extra chapter for when there are 100 gifts. I don’t know exactly when it will be, but it will definitely be updated.)
