Chapter 24 Making Rice Expensive
Rin Shimizu had no idea what her younger brother, Makoto Hoshino, was thinking on the sofa.
She wore a black short-sleeved top and dark shorts, revealing two straight yet fleshy thighs.
Rin Shimizu walked to the sofa and waved her phone.
"Little brother, your aunt wants to tell you that she won't be coming home for lunch, and she wants you to stop preparing lunch for her."
"Okay, sister, I understand."
Just as Hoshino Shin agreed, another system notification appeared in front of him.
[Shimizu Rin has just engaged in some youthful activity and is exhausted. She's hungry and wants to eat the lunch you made. Expectation level +15]
[Shimizu Rin wants to eat the lunch you made, but as your older sister, she's a little embarrassed to ask you. Desire +10, Shame +5]
"Are you hungry now, sister? I'll go prepare lunch."
Hoshino Makoto clearly remembered that the system had told him that to eliminate the evil power in the possessor of evil abilities, he had to satisfy their desires.
I suppose the desire for food and drink could also be considered one of them.
Besides this, Hoshino Shinya also wanted to deepen his relationship with Shimizu Rin in order to better eliminate the evil power within his second sister.
"Wait a minute, I'm not very hungry right now."
Rin Shimizu wanted to eat lunch made by Makoto Hoshino, but she felt a little embarrassed to have her younger brother prepare lunch for her, his older sister.
If you're not very hungry, then you're already hungry.
Hoshino Makoto grasped the key point: "It's okay, sis, it's better if I prepare sooner."
[Shimizu Rin feels really embarrassed that you, as her younger brother, are preparing lunch for her, as her older sister. Shame level +10]
[Shimizu Rin likes you even more after hearing your answer; affection value +15]
[Shimizu Rin has decided not to involve you in the erotic novel she's going to read this afternoon. Determination +1]
Hoshino Makoto saw the last one.
Rin Shimizu, you pervert, the only thing you'll do is eat rice out of proportion if you stay alive!
After lunch, and having gained dozens of emotion points from Shimizu Rin, Hoshino Makoto returned to his room to test the shop that had been upgraded that morning.
. . . . . .
Inside the bedroom.
Hoshino Makoto took off his shoes and sat barefoot on the blanket.
He first opened his own panel.
[Host: Hoshino Makoto]
[Stamina: 3]
【Intelligence: 6】
【Charm: 8】
[Skills: Advanced (Cooking), Intermediate (Learning), Basic (Cleaning)]
[Mood value: 1130]
"Over a thousand emotion points, not bad."
Satisfied, Hoshino then opened the system shop.
[Updated monthly:]
Basic Skill - Fishing (100 Emotion Points), Basic Skill - Painting (100 Emotion Points).
Intermediate skill - Neptune (1000 emotion points), Intermediate skill - Clean (1000 emotion points).
Advanced Skill - Painting (10000 Emotion Points)
Hoshino didn't look at the intermediate and advanced skills on the shop.
His attention was focused on the two basic skills.
Compared to the basic skill of fishing, the basic skill of painting is clearly more useful.
Then refresh the basic fishing skill.
Hoshino Makoto started refreshing.
"System, refresh the basic skill - Fishing."
[One hundred emotion points have been deducted; refresh successful]
[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked a basic skill—Walking]
As soon as the system voice finished speaking, Hoshino saw that the beginner fishing skill had disappeared from the system shop in front of him.
Instead, it's basic walking.
What kind of skill is this? Hoshino felt that the system always managed to come up with something different for him.
"System, walking is considered a skill?"
Learning to walk better not only saves time, but also allows you to walk more efficiently while saving time.
"System, refresh again."
[One hundred emotion points have been deducted; refresh successful]
[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked a basic skill—eating.]
"Explain yourself, I'm listening."
Learning to eat better not only saves time but also maintains good manners.
Refresh, refresh again.
[One hundred emotion points have been deducted; refresh successful]
[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked a basic skill—Sleep]
Before Hoshino Makoto could even speak, the system took the initiative to begin its introduction.
[Basic sleep aids the host to fall asleep faster, sleep more comfortably, and sleep soundly.]
Hoshino Makoto thinks this is pretty good for people who suffer from insomnia.
It was of no use to him.
He chose to keep refreshing.
. . . . . .
Aoyama National University, Affiliated College of Higher Education.
Inside the teaching building, in the third year of high school, class three.
The sky was azure, and origami cranes hung outside the window.
At this moment, in the last row.
Ai Shimizu placed her left hand on her textbook, propped her right cheek on her hand, and stared blankly into space.
She didn't listen to anything the teacher said earlier.
"Hey, Xiao Ai, what are you thinking about? You've been like this since this morning."
Hearing the familiar voice, Shimizu Ai, who was thinking about her younger brother Hoshino Makoto, came back to her senses and looked at her best friend and classmate, Akizuki Miki.
As a mixed-race woman, she has a striking face, long blonde hair, and the terrifying strength of a sports student.
Akizuki Miki sized up her deskmate, Shimizu Ai.
Since arriving in class this morning, she noticed that her deskmate had been spacing out the whole time.
This is not common.
Miki Akizuki felt that something must have happened to Ai Shimizu, and as her deskmate, she was very curious.
"Hehe, Miki, don't tell anyone else."
In front of her best friend, Shimizu Ai, having regained her composure, did not hide anything from Hoshino Makoto.
She smiled smugly and began to tell her story.
Two minutes later.
"A cute and outstanding appearance, a gentle and kind personality, and she can also cook delicious food."
"Ai Shimizu, have you been watching too much anime and started fantasizing?"
Miki Akizuki pursed her lips. Tokyo really has boys like this? She didn't believe it.
Seeing his best friend looking completely disbelieving.
Shimizu Ai snapped, "Everything I said is true."
Akizuki Miki extends her right hand towards Shimizu Ai.
Shimizu Ai didn't understand her meaning: "Mihime, what do you mean?"
Akizuki Miki said matter-of-factly, "Is that even a question? Where's the evidence?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true?"
Ai Shimizu was stumped by Miki Akizuki's words.
She really didn't have any evidence.
Unless she takes Akizuki Miki to her own home and sees Mako in person, she can't prove that what she said is true.
But once this thought arose, she subconsciously resisted it.
Like a collector who possesses exquisite jade but is unwilling to show it off easily.
"If you don't believe me, then so be it, Miki."
Shimizu Ai didn't argue much and continued to daydream, actually thinking about Hoshino Makoto's appearance.
It seems that what Xiao Ai just said was true.
Seeing Shimizu Ai lost in thought again, Akizuki Miki narrowed her eyes slightly.
She knows her deskmate very well.
Ai Shimizu's expression and actions told Miki Akizuki that what she said was true.
That's truly despicable.
Akizuki Miki lowered her head slightly, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
A comfortable family, loving relatives, and now an adorable younger brother.
Why is Shimizu's life so wonderful?
Akizuki Miki lowered her head, the black light in her eyes growing increasingly intense.
The next moment, she suddenly raised her head and hugged Shimizu Ai, who was still in a daze.
Akizuki Miki smiled and said, "Ai, I just realized I haven't been to your house for a while. How about I come over to your house for a bit today?"
"Huh?!" Shimizu Ai was startled by Akizuki Miki's sudden action.
Upon hearing what Akizuki Miki said, she instinctively reached out to nod in agreement.
But then Shimizu Ai suddenly thought of Hoshino Makoto at home.
She hesitated for a moment.
Seeing Shimizu Ai's hesitant look, Akizuki Miki's tone became even more enthusiastic: "Ai, we're good friends, you won't refuse, will you?"
Three years of high school friendship, and my adorable younger brother.
Friendship or younger brother?
Ai Shimizu chose friendship, but at the same time, she also chose to postpone it for a few days, for a simple reason.
"Let's wait until Friday. There's a two-day weekend, so we can have more fun then."
"Alright."
Today is Monday.
