Volume 4 Chapter 20 The New Journey of the Bookish Girl
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The girl hero, Togaki Yomi.
Her skill, ‘Reading Comprehension,’ lets her remember the contents of a book after just one read.
And not just remember──she understands it perfectly.
With this ability, she should be able to understand complex spellbooks and use powerful magic.
What a waste.
She had a top-tier ability hidden away.
But why didn’t the castle folks notice?
I voice this question while soaking in the hot springs.
”Yomi, when you tested your skill at the castle, did you really read through the whole book?”
”Read through? You mean from the first page to the very last?”
Yomi tilts her head a bit, narrowing her eyes as if searching her memory.
”…I guess I didn’t do that, now that you mention it.”
According to her, the castle’s people seemed to just have her read book after book for the skill test.
”They were all thick books, and even understanding one page of a spellbook is tough.”
Makes sense.
”Sure, they said I could remember anything I read, but who’d read a whole bunch of books they can’t understand?”
Naturally.
At the castle, they had her read all sorts of books to test her skill.
But it seems the testing method was more about skimming through books than really diving into one.
”I see.”
I nod and sink deeper into the hot water.
Yomi never got the chance to show the true power of ‘Reading Comprehension’ at the castle.
Without seeing the real effect of her skill, she was written off as useless.
It might have been a humiliating experience for her, but it worked out great for me.
Thanks to that, I got Yomi as my own.
And it’s not like it’s a bad deal for her, either.
Life at the Love Hotel is safe and comfortable, and the food is good.
Being looked down on for a while isn’t such a big deal.
”Hey, you didn’t read through the books for sure, but what’s that all about?”
Yomi looks puzzled.
She asks, trying to figure out the meaning behind the question.
”Ah, check this out.”
I showed her the menu too.
”Huh, Togaki Yomi… this is my info?”
Yomi’s eyes went round.
”Wow… your skills, I didn’t know they could do this.”
She let out a surprised voice as she read the screen.
”Level, Possessed Skill, Status…”
Yomi’s voice, reading aloud from the top, suddenly stopped at a certain point.
And then, the next moment──
”Huh… Sexual Experience count!?”
Yomi shouted in a frantic voice.
Yeah, the ‘Love Hotel’ skill info can show sexual details too.
”Wh, what is this!? You’ve been looking at this!? Gross! Pervert!!”
Yomi, her face bright red, thrashed around in the bath, pointing at me.
”I didn’t write it, you know.”
I replied calmly, but Yomi’s anger didn’t seem to subside.
”But it’s your skill, right!? It’s the worst!!”
Certainly, I can’t deny that my personality might have led to such a feature.
”The masturbation count, it’s impressive, huh.”
As this was going on, Kéa snuggled up next to me, peeking at the menu.

Indeed, Yomi’s masturbation count is no joke.
She must have been pretty stressed out.
But despite her fear of men, she was very interested in sexual things, wasn’t she?
Yomi’s masturbation experience could be useful for our play in the future.
Looking forward to it.
”Yomi is quite the horny one, isn’t she?”
Kéa glanced at Yomi and flashed a mischievous grin.
”Don’t look!”
Yomi’s face turns super red, and she can’t take the shame, so she jumps at Kéa.
Her hands try to grab Kéa’s arm, but somehow it just looks kinda cute.
Yomi’s been a total indoor girl these last few years.
She’s probably not strong at all.
”Oh? You wanna go for it?”
Kéa laughs, dodges Yomi’s attack easy.
Then she grabs Yomi by the scruff of her neck, just like that.
And the next second, she dunks Yomi straight into the bath.
”Mugyuu! Mmmph──blub blub blub…!”
Total instant defeat.
Yomi’s stuck underwater.
No way she’s beating Kéa with that body.
”Alright, let’s cool it, Kéa.”
”Roger that!”
I say it kinda chill, and Kéa lets go of Yomi, laughing.
Yomi finally pokes her face up from under the water, splashing around like crazy.
”Cough! Ugh, the worst!”
Yomi lifts her face out the water, grumbling while wiping her soaked bangs away.
But her cheeks are still red as a tomato.
”Alright, we’ll talk about Yomi’s solo habits later. For now, let’s focus on her skills.”
”Later… fine. Not fine, but fine.”
Yomi grimaced openly but reluctantly agreed to return to the topic of skills.
I navigated the menu and pulled up Yomi’s skill details.
”Complete understanding just by reading…!?”
Yomi’s eyes locked onto the screen.
She slowly read the description aloud, as if savoring every word.
