Let's Run a Fried Chicken Shop!

Qi Mu Fushijia is an ordinary high school girl. Aside from having a genius older brother, a psychic second older brother, and parents so lovey-dovey it is almost nauseating, she is no different from any other high schooler.

Until one day, her psychic brother foresaw her death.

To change her fate, her older brother recommended that she play a game called Let's Run a Fried Chicken Shop!

[Name: Qi Mu Fushijia]

[Race: Random]

...Wait. Something's already wrong from the second line.

[→ Start Game]

[→ Exit, exi... Start Game]

...So I have to start no matter what?!

*

As a beginner, Fushijia followed the System's advice and opened her first shop in an area called [Namimori Street].

[[Delicious Fried Chicken Shop] is open! Your shop is small, but clean and tidy, and the food tastes great. You're sure to attract plenty of customers soon!]

[...Unfortunately, you failed to pay protection money on time, so the [Suspicious Pompadour Gang] took back your premises. You went bankrupt.]

Fushijia: ...

She silently reloaded her save, paid the [Suspicious Pompadour Gang] in advance, and built a good business relationship with their boss.

[[Delicious Fried Chicken Shop] is open! ...You obey the law and are a respectable business owner protected by the gang!]

[...Unfortunately, you failed to set up delivery service for [The Mist-Shrouded Middle School], and its students were furious. They retaliated, and you fell into an illusion.]

Fushijia: This is getting more and more ridiculous.

She reloaded without changing her expression, spent all her earnings on the [Immune to Illusions] talent from the shop, and punched the disgruntled student to the ground.

[[Delicious Fried Chicken Shop] is open! ...You possess [Immune to Illusions] and are the natural enemy of illusionists!]

[...Unfortunately, you didn't have a good enough ring to unleash the powerful lightning energy within you. Your fried chicken shop closed due to insufficient electricity.]

Fushijia: Could you come up with a more absurd reason for closing?

She reloaded again. With a balance of zero, she went out and stole a pretty winged ring.

Everyone at the life-or-death negotiation: ...

The Godfather, who was about to fake his death: ...

The white-haired man, certain of victory but robbed of his ring: ...

After five seconds of silence, he reminded her with a smile, "The one you stole has Sky attributes..." Not lightning, for crying out loud!

*

Her second shop opened on the former site of the [Crepe Stand Across from Tokyo Jujutsu High].

[[Delicious Fried Chicken Shop] is open! You're not strong, but your fried chicken skills are masterful. You're sure to attract plenty of customers soon!]

[...Unfortunately, fights among the students are frequent at the entrance to Jujutsu High, and the fire hydrants are used so often that costs exceed your budget.]

Fushijia skillfully splurged on a [Perfectly Defended Safe House: The Tortoise Shell of Longevity] for her second shop.

Then she reloaded.

[[Delicious Fried Chicken Shop] is open! ...Your shop is impervious to blades, bullets, fire, and water. It is an excellent safe house!]

[...Unfortunately, you are a monkey without cursed energy. Your former regulars refuse to set foot in the shop again, and your cash flow has dried up.]

Fushijia: ...

She opened the shop, then closed it.

No more buying stuff.

She reloaded, and a bolt of lightning struck the classroom at the technical college.

In the rubble, three disheveled high schoolers turned to look at the girl walking toward them.

The white-haired one, who had just joked that his friend might have eaten too much cold noodles: "Huh? Isn't that the owner of the fried chicken shop across the street?"

His friend, sensing trouble: ...

The three watched Fushijia walk over and stop in front of them. She grabbed the black-haired guy who visited her shop most often.

"Dear customer, you can tell me if there's anything you don't like about the flavor." The girl's smile didn't reach her eyes. "But isn't it a bit much to never come in and buy anything?"

The future cult leader awkwardly pulled out his wallet. "...Would this much be enough?"

*

Once her fried chicken shops had successfully opened at places like [Across from Namimori Middle School] and [Across from Tokyo Jujutsu High], the psychic second brother's precognitive dreams disappeared.

"So that means I won't die for now?"

"Looks that way." The psychic glanced at her. "Allow me to remind you, midterms are next week..."

Fushijia: =mouth agape=

She immediately put down her helmet and crammed for a week, finally managing to keep her ranking at 150th out of 300 students in the year.

"I'm so jealous of you," said the pink-haired boy, looking through the peephole at whoever was knocking. "If only I were as ordinary as you, then... Fushijia."

The girl, hearing her name, went to the door: ?

Could someone tell her why the peaceful, ordinary Qi Mu family home was surrounded by people who only ever appeared in fictional worlds...?
