Chapter 22 Sister, I have a question for you
Shimizu Rin couldn't resist reaching out to touch Hoshino Makoto's head again.
The next moment, Hoshino Makoto took a step back.
Huh? Xiao Zhen, are you serious about taking that step back?
Just as Shimizu Rin raised her hand, she saw Hoshino Makoto take a step back.
A dark glint seemed to flash in her eyes: "Xiao Zhen, you despise your older sister?"
Hoshino Makoto's action of taking a step back caused Shimizu Rin a great deal of psychological harm.
Hoshino Makoto shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dislike my sister."
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, I just want to ask you a question."
Rin Shimizu frowned slightly: "Ask away."
Hoshino Makoto looked at Shimizu Rin's raised right hand: "Sister, have you... washed your hands?"
It wasn't that Hoshino Makoto intentionally wanted to disrupt the already harmonious atmosphere.
Rather, it was because he had a slight obsession with cleanliness that he really didn't want Shimizu Rin to touch his head with her unwashed right hand.
As for why Hoshino Makoto didn't mention this when his hands and feet were tied up earlier.
Firstly, because he simply hadn't thought of it.
Secondly, because the enemy was strong and we were weak at that time, even if Hoshino had thought of this, he would definitely have temporarily avoided Shimizu Rin's sharp edge.
Hoshino Makoto has now realized this, and his relationship with Shimizu Rin is no longer as awkward as it was before.
That's why he refused Shimizu Rin's attempt to pat his head.
Shimizu Rin smiled, took a step forward, put her left arm around Hoshino Makoto's waist, and pinched his pale face with her right hand.
"Xiao Zhen, do you think your sister is such an unhygienic person?"
Rin Shimizu lied.
Hoshino really didn't know.
Rin Shimizu remained calm and composed; she hadn't intentionally tried to deceive Makoto Hoshino.
It was embarrassing enough that Hoshino Makoto discovered her engaging in adolescent activities.
It would be even more awkward if she brought this up now.
Rin Shimizu's nose twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on her face as she suddenly smelled a fresh and pleasant fragrance.
She seemed to have smelled this scent before, but now the fragrance was even stronger.
The fragrance was coming from... Shimizu Rin's gaze fell on Hoshino Makoto in front of her.
The young boy seemed a little embarrassed by the question he had just asked, and he was looking down slightly.
Beneath her clear, black, tousled hair, her striking little face appeared even whiter.
Rin Shimizu's gaze lingered briefly before continuing downwards, landing on the boy's handsome, aesthetically pleasing, pale neck.
The fresh scent she smelled seemed to emanate from the exposed parts of the boy's body in front of her.
[Shimizu Rin smelled your fragrance and thought it smelled wonderful, so her affection level increased by 15.]
[Shimizu Rin is curious about which skincare product you're using, curiosity level +10]
Shimizu Rin released Hoshino Makoto's left hand and asked curiously, "What skincare products do you use? What's that scent you have? It smells so good."
Hoshino Makoto felt that he might be about to gain emotional points again.
He told the truth: "She smells of her body."
"What?" Shimizu Rin couldn't help but exclaim in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
Hoshino Shin coughed twice and repeated, "The fragrance on my body isn't from any skincare products; it's because I have a natural body odor."
[Shimizu Rin is shocked by what you said, shock level +30]
[Shimizu Rin's surprise at hearing that you have a natural fragrance increases by 20, and her affection increases by 25.]
Two system notifications about Shimizu Rin popped up, and Hoshino had never seen such a large emotion value before.
Rin Shimizu swallowed hard. Had she heard correctly? Body fragrance?
Her nominal younger brother actually had a pleasant body odor.
Isn't this something that only the male protagonists in the novels she's read online have?
Rin Shimizu, who had to take a break from school due to health reasons, spent all her time in her room critically watching inappropriate novels and videos.
The main genre is novels, followed by videos.
Therefore, Shimizu Rin has seen many male protagonists with a natural body odor in erotic novels.
However, she still knew the difference between reality and fantasy.
I know that most of the descriptions of the opposite sex in novels are fictional.
Especially those novels featuring women with a pleasant body odor.
But now Hoshino Makoto's words are tantamount to telling her outright that the most unrealistic description of body odor in erotic novels actually exists in reality.
My dear aunt, where did you find this precious baby?
Shocked by Hoshino Makoto's answer, Shimizu Rin exclaimed that her aunt had really hit the jackpot.
While Shimizu Rin was still in a state of shock and amazement.
Hoshino Makoto had already communicated with the system in his mind about what Shimizu Rin's evil ability was.
"System, did she just activate her ability?"
[Host, you're right. Shimizu Rin just activated Time Stop.]
"Time freeze? Such an incredible ability."
According to system monitoring, she can currently only activate it for a maximum of three minutes per day.
"Wait a minute, system. Didn't you tell me last night in bed that you couldn't detect it?"
[That's because the system can't detect it if the other party doesn't use evil abilities against the host, but of course I can detect it if the other party does use evil abilities against the host.]
This system isn't that useless yet.
Hoshino Makoto grasped the key point.
"You mean you can only detect it if someone with an evil ability, like Rin Shimizu, uses their evil ability on me?"
That's one way to put it.
"Waste Haki System".
【. . . . . .】
"System, since you were able to know what evil ability Shimizu Rin used even while I was in a state of time freeze, does that mean you are unaffected by her ability?"
[At present, it will not be affected; the evil power within this human is still too small.]
"Do you have any way to make my consciousness unaffected by the time-stopping ability, just like yours?"
[Sorry, host, this is not possible.]
"Alright."
The system's response extinguished Hoshino's hopes.
However, he did not give up.
"System, you can now see the difference in strength between me and someone with evil abilities like Shimizu Rin."
"Don't you really have any way to improve my strength? Even just a little bit would be helpful."
Okay, host.
Upon hearing the system's reply in his mind, Hoshino Shinma became instantly excited.
Well done, system. I'll never call you a useless Haki system again.
As Hoshino Makoto eagerly awaited, the system's voice began to ring out.
[A significant power gap has been detected between the host and the possessor of evil abilities. The system is initiating an upgrade.]
[Upgrading in progress]
Upgrade successful
The system's four options reappear in front of Hoshino Makoto.
[Panel], [Shop], [Check-in], [Tasks].
Only the [Shop] option has changed.
This system upgrade is clearly related to the [Shop].

Adding extra chapters is still too difficult for authors, even on Saturdays.
Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow.
