Chapter 39 Acting Skills, Showdown
Shimizu Setsukatsu stopped blow-drying her hair.
She wondered if she had misheard.
"Xiao Zhen, are you going to go play with Xiao Lin?"
"Yes, Auntie."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Qing Shui Xueyue's intelligent and pretty face.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Lin spends all her time in her bedroom, so she has a bit of a strange temper."
Are you sure you want to hang out with her?
Hoshino Makoto smiled slightly: "Auntie, I had a very pleasant chat with my second sister when I brought her breakfast yesterday morning."
Shimizu Setsukatsu looked at Hoshino Makoto's flawless and sincere expression.
He nodded subconsciously in agreement: "Okay, go ahead."
Goodbye, Auntie.
Hoshino Makoto left the living room.
He smiled slightly as he looked at the panel in front of him.
[Host: Hoshino Makoto]
[Stamina: 3]
【Intelligence: 6】
【Charm: 8】
[Skills: Advanced (Cooking), Intermediate (Learning), Beginner (Acting, Cleaning)]
[Mood value: 0]
[Evil Value: Three Points]
Hoshino looked at his panel.
Focus on skills.
Just now on the sofa, whether it was Shimizu Setsukatsu and Shimizu Ai chatting, or Shimizu Ai pinching his cheek.
He was constantly refreshing the system's in-game store skills.
The goal was to better persuade her second sister, Shimizu Rin.
He wanted her to come to the company with him to eliminate the evil abilities of that guy named Shimizu Kaori.
Hoshino admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, because the skill refresh in the system shop was really unreliable.
But he made the right bet.
Hoshino Shin used 2,600 emotion points to refresh and purchased a new skill.
Beginner Level - Acting!
The flawless expression Hoshino Makoto displayed while talking to his aunt was a performance using his rudimentary acting skills.
. . . . . .
In the dimly lit room, only the computer screen emitted light.
Rin Shimizu sat in front of the computer, watching the content playing on the screen.
Her right hand was under the table, her lips were tightly pursed, and a rosy blush appeared on her delicate, pale face.
Rin Shimizu quickened her movements, her pursed lips parted slightly, and she exhaled hot breaths.
Just when things were at a critical juncture and out of control...
"Knock knock, knock knock knock".
There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
"You bastard! You idiot!"
Shimizu Rin's actions were interrupted, and her anger was caught between rising and falling. Suddenly, she was furious.
"Who is it!"
Outside the bedroom, Hoshino Makoto stood in front of the door.
He first tentatively pushed the door open slightly to avoid a repeat of yesterday's awkward situation.
Then he knocked gently on the door.
The next moment, a familiar, furious voice came from inside the room.
I wonder if my second sister was doing something important just now.
He didn't happen to disturb her, did he?
Hoshino Makoto felt that his luck was a bit bad.
He swallowed hard. Facing his second sister, who could freeze time, Hoshino Makoto was still somewhat afraid.
"Sister, it's me."
Hearing your soft, sweet voice is like adding fuel to the fire for Shimizu Rin; her excitement level increases by 10, and her desire level increases by 20.
Your soft, sweet voice pleases Shimizu Rin; she is satisfied, pleasure level +15, satisfaction level +15.
A system mood value prompt pops up.
Hoshino Makoto: ヾ(￣□￣;)ﾉ
What do you mean she's satisfied? It can't be what she's thinking, can it?
That can't be right. Doesn't even my second sister know how to be self-disciplined?
A jumble of random thoughts flooded Hoshino Makoto's mind.
"Come in."
A clear, familiar voice rang out.
Hoshino Makoto looked up.
The door opened, and Shimizu Rin stood inside, her fair and delicate face showing anger.
She crossed her arms and looked down at Hoshino Makoto with an extremely aggressive gaze.
Hoshino knew he couldn't back down.
He went inside and closed the door.
. . . . . .
In the bright room, Shimizu Rin sat in a computer chair, her ample, shapely legs crossed.
Hoshino Makoto sat on the edge of the bed, smelling the lingering scent in the air.
His gaze fell on the crumpled paper at Shimizu Rin's feet, then quickly looked away.
My sister really was doing that kind of thing just now.
That's far too unrestrained.
Rin Shimizu noticed Makoto Hoshino's gaze.
There was no embarrassment on her face.
Since yesterday, when she was seen engaging in adolescent activities by Hoshino Makoto.
Their relationship became somewhat special due to its ambiguous nature.
It's hard to explain, hard to define.
"Little brother, tell me, what do you want with your sister?"
"You'd better say something that satisfies me, otherwise... hehe, I'm getting a little angry right now."
Shimizu Rin looked Hoshino Makoto up and down as he sat by her bedside.
[Shimizu Rin's affection level increases by 8 upon seeing your appearance.]
[Shimizu Rin thinks you're so captivating, my liking for you is +9]
[Shimizu Rin thinks about the dinner you made today, satisfaction level +13]
My dear sister, you really are a hypocrite.
Hoshino Makoto spoke up; he didn't probe.
He asked directly, "Sister, do you have superpowers?"
The next moment, three system notifications popped up in front of Hoshino Makoto.
[Shimizu Rin is shocked by your words because she knows she really does have it; shock level +20]
[Shimizu Rin is surprised that you knew, surprise level +20]
[Shimizu Rin is curious about when you found out, curiosity level +10]
Without any warning, without any preparation.
One sentence from Hoshino Makoto.
I gained fifty emotion points from Shimizu Rin.
However, only Hoshino Makoto himself knew this.
He felt immense pressure the instant he said those words.
Looking at the three emotion value prompts for Shimizu Rin in front of him, Hoshino Makoto, who was under immense pressure, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on Shimizu Rin's three clues, she doesn't currently have the thought of killing someone to cover up her secret being discovered.
Hoshino Makoto's heart was in turmoil, but his face showed seven parts admiration, two parts curiosity, and one part fear as he looked at Shimizu Rin.
Basic acting skills? Let me see where your limits are!
Hoshino Shin silently exhaled and began the next part of her performance.
Rin Shimizu sat in the computer chair, still crossing her shapely long legs.
She looked at Hoshino Makoto, her lips parted.
"Little brother, come here."
Hoshino Makoto obediently came to Shimizu Rin.
Even when Shimizu Rin was sitting in the computer chair, Hoshino Makoto, who was standing, was only half a head taller than her.
Rin Shimizu didn't even need to look up at him.
Looking at her younger brother in front of her, her fair and handsome face showed admiration.
Rin Shimizu's lips curved into a smile.
