The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 6

The next day, the renovation work on the house began. There are so many people. I wonder if there are subcontractors too? There are 20 people here. All women… They’re staring at me, but that’s normal in this world, so I shouldn’t mind. But seriously, there are a lot of them, right?

I wonder if the tea and snacks I prepared for the 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock breaks will be enough.

Nohara-san came to greet me, saying she was about to start working. She’s diligent because she’s in a responsible position. But she’s cool. I want to be that kind of person too.

“Thank you in advance.”

I open the gate to let the workers in. Even though they are all young and slender, they carry the heavy materials by themselves.

“Wow…”

I was admiring it, but then I remembered.

——Ah, I see…

This world, I had just forgotten until now, but everyone can use Psychokinesis (superpowers).

I also remember taking a Psychokinesis test back in the day. If I recall correctly, it was on the back of the ID card I kept in my wallet.

Psychic Capacity: High

Psychokinesis: 1

Psychic Body: 1

Recollection: 1

Special: 10

——Hmm, I didn’t have any talent.

The amount of time (or extent) one can use psychic capacity determines their willpower, while everything else indicates the value of their talent in that system.

Psychokinesis level 1 is the lowest on a scale of 10. In other words, it means the worst. In my case, it means I have the lowest talent in anything other than special abilities.

It means that with Psychokinesis Level 1, I can levitate or move an object within a 1cm radius. You might think, “What good is moving something by 1cm?” but it’s okay, I just thought of something. Let’s pull the weeds in the garden.

Distance from the target? The farther away it is, the more tiring it becomes, so wouldn’t it be better to be closer? I’m not confident, though.

When I crouch next to the weeds that catch my eye, I decide on the target weed.

——Hmm, oh!

It’s interesting how the targeted weeds come up so easily. I’m actually surprised at how well it works.

Ah, but no, it won’t come out. The roots are too long.

If I use it continuously, what is this, it’s difficult. If I lift it 1cm and it goes out of range, it immediately falls to the ground.

If it falls, it can only float 1 cm again, so it ends up being the same thing over and over.

——Hmm. It seems like it wouldn’t be useful unless I use it before I fall… but is that even possible?

It seems that before I regained my memory, I wasn’t interested in psychic powers, and I didn’t even know what would happen if I had a Psychokinesis level of 2 or higher.

My talent is a 1. It seems I didn’t even think to look it up.

So, Psychic Body 1 enhances the body by 1.1 times, huh? I wonder if I can tell the difference with just 1.1 times. By the way, with 2… hmm, I don’t remember because I’m not interested in it.

It seems that Psychic out can be used to imbue a Psychic-guided tool (gun) with Psychic and shoot it, but basically, unless I work in a profession like a police officer or a member of the Self-Defense Forces, I don’t get the opportunity to handle such Psychic-guided tools.

It seems like a talent that isn’t used in everyday life. The previous me must have really wanted to use it, because in Psychokinesis, that knowledge is the most abundant. In that regard, I’m definitely a man.

Lastly, it’s special, but it seems that everyone’s abilities are different. I have a score of 10, so it seems I have talent, but I wonder what I can use. The previous me really didn’t seem interested, so I haven’t tried it.

It seems that there is a list of past special abilities on the inspection agency’s website, so if I refer to how to use them and try them one by one, I should be able to find them soon. I want to try it next time.

So, to get back to the topic, the contractors who are here today are probably using this energy body to enhance their physical abilities and carry heavy materials.

I wonder if humanity evolved because there are fewer men in the world now. But where would they use such large materials?

By the way, because there are telekinetic abilities, things like crane trucks don’t exist in this world.

If I do it with multiple people, most things, whether high or low and even moving them, become easy.

It seems that whether to carry it with Psychokinesis or with a physical body depends on the situation at the scene.

If I use Psychokinesis and get absorbed in pulling out weeds, before I know it, it will be 10 o’clock. It’s snack time.

“Nohara-san, please drink this with everyone during break time.”

“Eh, uh…”

After handing over the chilled 500ml bottles of tea for everyone, along with an appropriate amount of pastries and snacks—since I have no idea what women like, I just prepared whatever—I quickly made my escape.

Nohara-san was trembling, but she was not angry, right? I’m already fed up with complaints about past mistakes, so I don’t want to hear any more.

I also quench my thirst with some cold tea before playing with the weeds again.

“Um, Taketo-kun, if you don’t mind…”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yes.”

The vendors who took their breaks a little later ended up giving us treats instead. There were chocolates, gummies, candies, and all sorts of little things packed into cute paper bags.

Oh no. It’s the first time someone has given me something since I regained my memory, so I’m so moved that I feel like crying.

“Thank you very much. I’ll enjoy this.”

They came to deliver it together, but when I thanked her with a smile, she blushed and left.

Because it’s a world with few men, it can be embarrassing to do things I’m not used to. I understand how she feels.

In my past life, I would get embarrassed and my face would turn red just from giving a presentation in front of the class. But now, I even stream, so I’m fine with it. Getting used to things is amazing.
