Ten Slots Inventory Facts:
Only one item can be stored in a slot, but there's a loophole that if multiple objects are put inside a container, or if a group of individual items are considered as a whole, they would be considered as one item and can be stored in one slot.
Consumable items are stackable, but there are few hidden quantifiers that are not disclosed by the Admin, so the Subjects are to discover it on their own. One such example of a quantifier is that if a Subject wants to store chocolate bars, they must be of the same brand and of the same size, otherwise it wouldn't stack. Another example is cooked steak, they can be stacked so long as they're put in a similar container (i.e. plates of any kind, plastic containers, etc.), the sizes and the cut of the steak wouldn't matter.
If any items stored in the Inventory are considered as wearable, it has an auto-equip function, just like how a Fate Servant dons their armor or summon their weapon, only without flashy lights.

Akane woke up feeling better, and he immediately went to take a shower as he didn't managed to take a bath last night.
It was Saturday today, and Akane plans to shop for his necessities later in the afternoon, as he has to go to the school he was going to transfer to this morning to finalize his admission and get his uniform – which was already made apparently as he sent his measurements ahead of time.
Still, Akane was confused for a bit, as he knows the vessel that he's currently occupying, but he doesn't exist in the vessel's original source at all.
"Well, chalk it up to multiversal bullcrap so it might have sense." He thought out loud.
The Yanagi Akane that he knows exist in the manga and anime called Horimiya, but the world that he found himself rolling from the randomizer was not the reality of Horimiya at all, and he's definitely not transferring to Katagiri Senior High School, the school which the Horimiya cast goes to.
Aside from that, while he does look the same as Yanagi Akane of that reality, he was taller. While he's younger by one year at sixteen due to being born in December, the same birthday as the Horimiya Yanagi, he was taller at 177 centimeters compared to the original which was 168 centimeters at seventeen years old.
Not that he minded the change, as he's at the same height in his previous life.
'… I should thank the Admin if he did this for me, don't I?' Akane thought as he's wearing his clothes in preparation for his errand.
~
"… and that's about it. Your schedule will be given to you on Monday by me as your homeroom teacher, so be sure to come here the moment you arrive, as I have to introduce you to the class. And lastly, your receipt for your uniform and books. Just go to the address written on it and show it to them, and they will immediately gave it to you. Do you have more questions, Yanagi?" The teacher, Hanakawa, said to Akane as he handed him the receipt for his uniform.
"No, sir. I understood everything." Akane replied.
"Still, who would have thought that even without having step to Japan in your life, that your 'nihonggo jouzu', huh?" Hanakawa looked at him in awe.
Akane laughed a bit, knowing the reason is him being a Subject, but he can't answer like that, so he gave a reasonable answer instead.
"When I was a kid, my mother wouldn't talk to me at all if I don't speak to her in her language, so I have to study very hard for it. I guess everything worked out in the end."
The teacher nodded at his response. "Your mother had a great vision, Yanagi. Now, go along. I still have work to do, and you better go and get your uniform and fix it if something is wrong before Monday comes."
"Yes, sir. By your excuse." Akane bowed to him, and the teacher smiled at him wryly when he answered with an archaic form of response.
Akane got out of the teacher's office and decided to tour around the school for a bit before getting his uniform.
Walking in the hallway, Akane was grabbing attention from the students having remedial classes due to him not wearing a uniform, as well as him just being his handsome self. He was used to the attention he's receiving due to his previous life's experience, so the stares didn't bothered him one bit and he continued his walk.
At some point of his tour, he managed to find himself in the school's gym, and he's hearing shouts from inside it. Curious, he decided to take a look and saw students practicing karate inside.
In there he found – with his limited knowledge of the world he randomly rolled himself in – one of the main character of this reality. She's like a warrior, fighting with spirit and determination against the enemy that she created in her mind, overbearing in her kick and punches.
He might've never known about her a lot since he wasn't very invested in the world she exist in due to the story's ending still being far from finishing even after more than twenty years, but her martial arts is something Akane can understand.
After all, Akane is also a warrior in his own right.
Enchanted by her techniques, Akane's vision was focused on her that he didn't noticed everyone else was staring at him.

As some of the members of Teitan High's karate club took a break, they noticed someone not wearing their uniform observing them from the door of the gymnasium.
"Hey look, there's a hot guy outside the gym!" One of the female members elbowed her friend and pointed at Akane.
"Holy, what's he doing here? An actor? Ohh, maybe he's a transfer student?"
"What? Wher-ohhh!"
As their conversation was getting louder by the second, Mouri Ran – daughter of the famous detective dubbed as the Sleeping Kogoro, Mouri Kogoro – she couldn't help but overhear them and stop at what she was doing to look at where they were pointing to.
In love she may be, she's still a female teenager, and hearing a hot guy was nearby made her look at him as well.
When she managed to look at him, she was momentarily surprised at how handsome he looks.
With Suzuki Sonoko as her best friend, who's head lives in a sappy romantic la-la land, she was shown various photos of men, from cute to handsome and somewhere in between ever since the two of them reached the stage in their life where arguably girls are starting to think about romance.
Ran noticed that he was looking at her as their eyes meet. It lasted only for two seconds though, as he smiled at her and starts to leave.
His actions confused her that she didn't managed to hear the commotion her club mates were making the moment their visitor smiled.

Akane walked away with a smile on his face.
"Man, she looks like a fine woman. I may have only watched Detective Conan once, and a movie at that, but now I kinda see why that brat was willing to die with her. Ahhh, young love."
What he meant was the first Detective Conan movie, titled as The Time Bombed Skyscraper. Long story short, he "ship" them as a couple.
'Still, I wondered if the two of them ended up being together. The manga's past a thousand chapters, so they might have already, right? Huh, should I self appoint my mission to make the two of them get together?'
He could also take her for himself, but he chose not to. She's a great woman, sure, but he doesn't think that she would lenient enough to condone each and every of his actions. There's also the fact that she has this naivety and innocence that Akane doesn't want to taint. Considering what his purpose entails, having her would be a breathe of fresh air.
"In the meantime, let's just get this errand over with."

Akane returned home after using the whole afternoon to shop for his clothes and other necessities for living.
With his bank account having a hundred million yen – that came from his father which is also what his previous life savings is equal to – Akane doesn't have to worry for a long time, and even then, he could find a lot of ways to make money. With a face like his, finding a modeling gig wouldn't be a problem at all, and being a movie star isn't such a far-fetched idea at all.
Or, just like in his previous life, he could once more enter the ring to be a fighter, but Akane decided it to be his last resort, as he's currently not normal.
"Whatever. I'll leave that for after dinner." Sitting on the sofa in his home wear, a shirt and a basketball shorts, Akane was watching TV to pass time until dinner.
Just as he was about to prepare his food, the doorbell of his house rang, indicating that he has a visitor. Akane didn't think too hard about it and decided to look at who it was.
When he looked through the peephole, Akane sighed a bit and opened the door.
"Akane, I've brought you dinner."
Who appeared was Rika, holding a box of pizza on her right hand, and multiple cans of beer with her left. She's still wearing her office worker attire, so she must have bought them right after closing and went to see him immediately.
'This'll be a long night, isn't it?' Akane thought to himself.
