Chapter 173 Sign-in, Answer
The weather in Tokyo in March is very changeable.
Yesterday it was sunny and bright, but today it's drizzling and overcast.
"System, check-in."
Hoshino leaned against the headboard, looking at the gloomy weather outside the window.
[Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in. The fourth volume of The Buried Frilian has been added.]
The system's voice rang in Hoshino Makoto's mind.
Today's sign-in reward is a comic book.
As Hoshino Makoto expected.
However, the system's voice soon sounded again.
[Detected a slight decrease in residual evil value in Shimizu Ai's body. Congratulations, host, you have gained one point of evil value.]
[Detected a slight decrease in the residual evil value of Shimizu Rin's body. Congratulations, host, you have gained one point of evil value.]
[Detected a decrease of two points in the residual evil value of Shimizu Yuzuki's body. Congratulations, host, you have gained one point of evil value.]
After listening to the system's report, Hoshino Makoto, who had just gotten up, yawned.
"System, how much evil value do Yuzuki and the others have left?"
The system immediately provided an answer.
[Ai Shimizu currently has two points of residual evil value.]
[Shimizu Rin, currently has 12 points of evil energy remaining.]
[Shimizu Yuzuki currently has 1 point of residual evil value.]
Hoshino stretched and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
"If this continues, the evil points on Yuzuki-nee and Ai-nee will soon be completely eliminated."
Hoshino Makoto's tone was tinged with amusement.
"System, don't you think I'm incredibly amazing?"
"Having been in Tokyo for less than a month, I've already dealt with an evil ability user."
"Now even the evil points on Yuzuki-nee and Ai-nee are almost completely eliminated."
The system was very perceptive in its response to Hoshino Makoto's words.
[Host, you're amazing!]
"That was a bit perfunctory. Never mind, System, just don't say that next time."
"That's what Hoshino Makoto said ruthlessly."
"System, open the panel."
A pale blue panel opened in front of Hoshino Makoto.
[Host: Hoshino Makoto]
[Stamina: 3]
【Intelligence: 6】
【Charm: 9】
[Skills: Advanced (Painting, Cooking), Intermediate (Massage, Studying, Acting), Beginner (Cleaning)]
[Emotional Value: 150,000]
[Evil Value: 16 points]
【Special Charm: Fair Skin and Jade-like Bones (Handsome Tokyo boy, you were born to attract attention; wherever you stand, that's the center stage)】
[Special charm: Bright eyes and white teeth (You have a beautiful smile, and people will like you because of it, so young man, please don't smile too easily)]
"After one night, my mood level has indeed increased again."
Hoshino glanced at the increased emotion value on the panel.
Then put the panel away.
I got up and started washing up.
. . . . . .
"Good morning, Sister Xiao Ai."
As soon as Hoshino Makoto arrived downstairs, he saw Shimizu Ai sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Perhaps because the temperature was a bit low today, Shimizu Ai was still wearing a cool short-sleeved shirt and long pants.
Her long, straight legs were crossed under the dining table, and she looked a little bored and lazy.
Good morning, Xiao Zhen.
When Shimizu Ai saw Hoshino Makoto coming downstairs, her mood immediately improved.
After all, who wouldn't be in a good mood if they saw a beautiful and outstanding member of the opposite sex in the morning?
[When Shimizu saw you coming downstairs, your pleasing appearance instantly lifted her spirits, increasing her happiness by 2 points and her joy by 1 point.]
System, would you say this counts as me providing emotional value to Sister Xiao Ai?
Upon seeing the system notification that popped up in front of him, Hoshino Makoto couldn't help but speak to the system in his mind.
[Of course it counts, which is why Shimizu Ai's evil value can be reduced.]
[To make the world a better place, and to make those with evil powers feel that the world is a better place—that's why the host can eliminate the evil powers within them.]
"I see, so that's how it is."
The system's words gave Hoshino Makoto a deeper understanding of the reduction in evil value.
"Sister Ai, where's Sister Youyue?"
Hoshino Makoto sat down at the dining table, only to realize that he and Shimizu Ai were the only ones in the living room.
"I don't know either. I didn't see my older sister when I came downstairs."
Ai Shimizu said that she didn't see Yuzuki Shimizu when she went downstairs for breakfast.
Hoshino glanced at the weather outside the window; it was even more gloomy than when he had woken up.
In this kind of weather, Yuyue probably won't go out.
Could it be that Sister Youyue overslept today and hasn't gotten up yet?
So neither I nor Sister Xiao Ai saw her.
Hoshino Makoto guessed in his heart.
"Xiao Zhen, I've finished eating. I have tutoring later, so I'm going upstairs to get ready."
Just then, Shimizu Ai, having finished breakfast, pushed back her chair and stood up.
She waved to Hoshino Makoto.
"Okay, sister."
Hoshino nodded to indicate that he understood.
Watching Shimizu Ai's retreating figure as she went upstairs.
Hoshino Makoto turned around, ready to start eating breakfast.
But the next moment, Ai Shimizu's voice came from the second-floor stairwell.
"Big sister, you're only getting up now?"
Then came the voice of Shimizu Yuzuki.
"I had something to do last night and stayed up a little late."
Shimizu Yuzuki walked down the stairs.
I saw Hoshino Makoto at the dining table.
"Good morning, sister."
Hoshino Makoto looked at Shimizu Yuuki, who had just gotten up and come downstairs.
He waved to greet them.
Good morning, Xiaozhen.
Shimizu Yuzuki's cool and aloof face remained expressionless.
She nodded to Hoshino Makoto and sat down at the dining table.
Hoshino Makoto then noticed the faint dark circles under Shimizu Yuzuki's eyes.
Just as Shimizu Yuzuki said at the stairwell, she stayed up all night last night.
Is it something to do at work, or something else?
Hoshino Makoto lowered his head and ate his breakfast while thinking to himself.
Just then, Shimizu Yuzuki's voice suddenly came from the other side.
"Xiao Zhen, there's something I want to ask you."
Yuyue-jie, you seem to have a lot of questions lately.
But could it be that Yuzuki stayed up all night last night because of this question she wanted to ask?
Hoshino Makoto wondered to himself, then looked up and said, "Sister, you can ask."
"Xiao Zhen..." Shimizu Yuzuki's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
She said, "Xiao Zhen, besides your sister, who else knows about your natural fragrance?"
Last night, after Shimizu Yuzuki took a shower and returned to her bedroom.
Because of Hoshino Makoto's body odor, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The first thing that surprised me was that Hoshino Makoto's body odor was her natural scent.
Secondly, Shimizu Yuzuki wondered if she was the first to know about this.
If she was the first to know, wouldn't that mean it was a little secret between her and Hoshino Makoto?
Shimizu Yuzuki had been thinking about these two things for a long time, which is why she overslept this morning.
"Auntie knows."
Hoshino Makoto had no idea what Shimizu Yuzuki was thinking.
He said it very honestly.
Is there anything else?
Shimizu Yuzuki nodded, even though she knew she wasn't the first to know.
But I only felt a little disappointed for a moment before I quickly recovered.
After all, Xiaozhen was brought home by her aunt, so she's bound to be closer to her aunt.
It's normal for my aunt to know about this.
"And Sister Xiaolin too."
Hoshino Makoto then said.
Shimizu Yuzuki pursed her lips, her right hand gripping the spoon tightly.
Xiao Lin actually knew about Xiao Zhen's situation too.
Suddenly, Shimizu Yuzuki recalled the scene from yesterday when Shimizu Rin led Hoshino Makoto out of the room.
It seems that Xiaozhen and Xiaolin's relationship is better than she thought.
Shimizu Yuzuki continued:
"Is there anything else? What about Xiao Ai?"
Hoshino Makoto replied:
"Sister Xiao Ai knows too."
