Congratulations to the player for achieving the unlock conditions for the trophy [Wall Hugger]. [Wall Hugger]: Actively approach walls or similar objects and listen with an ear to the wall to capture sound details within a three-kilometer radius.
This was already a previous game prompt.
Wall Hugger was a reconnaissance skill, particularly outstanding for finding people in complex multi-story buildings. With its large range, it could even pick up sounds deep underground.
However, Akira hadn't expected that Kimishima Ayano's arrival would help him unlock such a trophy. Had she done something similar outside?
Before Akira could think further, returning to the game interface, he already saw prompts coming one after another.
Congratulations to the player for completing the capture of Chapter Two.
Reward obtained: Skill [Art Space]
When the target's lust value reaches 90, or hostility reaches 60, the player can actively activate Art Space, pulling themselves and the target into the Art Space for battle.
Art Space is the player's personal space, with a fixed restriction of iron chains. The moment the target enters the space, they will immediately have their actions restricted by the iron chains set by the player, and their strength will be suppressed by 20%.
Reward obtained: Ownership of floors 80–110 of Skyscraper X, whose interior can be altered in terms of space and decoration according to the player's preset.
Reward obtained: One underground luxury parking garage, containing 20 luxury cars.

Pure bliss. Absolute bliss.
The Chapter Two clear rewards were truly excellent. Not only did they grant such an amazing skill, but they also gave cars, houses, and stats. Just those dozens of floors in Skyscraper X alone were worth an unknown amount of money. After all, he had visited with Busujima Saeko last time, even taking a private elevator. It was located in the financial center, surrounded by large shopping malls, and transportation was very convenient. This underground parking garage was also a reward, presumably very close to Skyscraper X.

Akira first glanced at his in-game stamina bar: 120 / 160.
Not too much, not too little—just enough for five rounds on top of Akira taking a delayed small pill. Simply a godsend for those with OCD.
However, putting aside the new skills for now, there were two things Akira most wanted to do. One was to finalize the interior decoration of his thirty floors. The second was to see what kind of trouble Chapter Three would stir up.
However, it was clear that the joy of infrastructure couldn't compare to the joy of lewdness. So Akira first clicked into Chapter Three, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"Ah—so many people came to the exhibition today."
With exaggerated makeup, Kitagawa Marin's attire was a bit unconventional at this time. But it was rush hour after work. Office workers like zombies stepped onto the tram, and no one paid attention to this strangely dressed girl. Her voice was a little tired, but when she looked through the selfies with those characters on her phone, the smile on her lips instantly widened again.
"But being able to take a photo with my favorite anime character makes this day worth it."
In the photos, the other cosplayers were beautifully dressed and looked so perfect. In front of them, Kitagawa Marin's conservative outfit was like an ugly duckling—the green leaf that set them off.
"When can I be like these big shots and recreate my favorite characters?"
The characters Kitagawa Marin liked were not ordinary; some were restricted. So she could only do it herself, hoping to recreate her favorite characters with her own strength. However, her craftsmanship was terrible, and she probably wouldn't be able to achieve this dream before she died. But this did not affect her determination to continue.
Today's exhibition was not big and ended early, so she happened to catch this tram after work. After a wave of people got on, the space in the tram suddenly became crowded.
Akira stood next to her, looking at the selfies on her phone. Under the effect of Existence Weakening, Kitagawa Marin didn't even notice Akira beside her.
Bewitch Heart activated.
"If you want to become such a person, I can help you."
Kitagawa Marin was startled by this sudden voice. Turning her head, she saw a handsome boy extending his hand. "I'm sorry, I accidentally overheard what you were muttering."
"Ah~! I'm sorry. Maybe I was too tired and didn't notice you."
In the already somewhat cramped space, Kitagawa Marin reached out and gently shook hands with Akira.
Just then, the door behind them opened, and office workers—like sardines—surged into the tram. The two were caught off guard and squeezed into a corner. Kitagawa Marin was on the inside, Akira on the outside.
"I'm sorry. There are too many people."
Kitagawa Marin smiled awkwardly, because they were now face to face, pressed against each other. But the "sardines" behind them seemed to think it wasn't crowded enough and struggled to push further in. The result was that the two were in an embrace, not knowing where to put their hands.
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
"Ah~! My name is Akira."
"My name is Kitagawa Marin. Could you please move outwards a bit? I'd like to turn around."
Although Mr. Akira was handsome, meeting him for the first time like this was clearly a bit too awkward. Turning her back might make it better.
Mr. Akira gave an embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry, Kitagawa. I'm also so squeezed I can't move, but I can try."
He pushed hard outwards but was pushed back with greater force, bumping into Kitagawa Marin.
After several bumps, Kitagawa Marin felt a strange sensation.
[Lust Value +10]
"Excuse me, let me lean on the wall!"
Mr. Akira's hands pressed against Kitagawa Marin's armpits, trying to push outwards, but the force from outside was too strong. His hands didn't hold, and he ended up on Kitagawa Marin's body.
[God's Hand] activated. Senses doubled.
[Lust Value +20]
"Alright, Mr. Akira, that's enough. Don't move."
Kitagawa Marin couldn't take it anymore. This gave her a sense of déjà vu—like she had seen it in a game.
But while Mr. Akira stopped, the crowd behind didn't. Having just arrived at the station, the tram seemed to become even more crowded. Mr. Akira didn't even need to move; someone from behind naturally pushed him.
