A sudden wave of guilt washed over Shirakawa Natsumi. You treated me like a brother, yet I'm going to sleep with the woman you like: "Thank you."
"?" Miyuki frowned slightly: "Don't you have money for food?"
"It's nothing." Shirakawa Natsu shook her head: "What kind of girl is she that you would care about her?"
Without thinking, Miyuki said, "Her smile is very beautiful."
As she spoke, a smile appeared on her lips.
Shirakawa Natsu thought that Miyuki's smile was also very beautiful.
He had met two girls with beautiful smiles; Jingu Nao's smile made one feel as if they had no worries.
And then there's Kanna Hojo, whom I met this afternoon. Her smile is like a clear spring, pure and clean.
Kimura Momo also smiled gently, but that was because her face was stunningly beautiful; her smile could only be described as formulaic.
The two stood together, both deep in thought, without speaking, yet there was no awkwardness.
A girl walked up to the two of them and bowed ninety degrees to them: "I'm...sorry, I think I'm late."
Miyuki raised her wrist and glanced at the time: "No, you arrived ten minutes early."
"Great!" The girl straightened up and patted her chest with a sigh of relief. "I thought I was going to be late."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shirakawa Natsumi, and the two of them stared at each other, both stunned.
Immediately afterwards, her cheeks suddenly turned red, as if they could bleed, and she swayed twice before regaining her balance.
"Uh, Kanna-san, what a coincidence." Shirakawa Natsu was speechless; Hojo Kanna had clearly secretly put on makeup.
Without her black-rimmed glasses, her long hair was styled in a princess updo, giving her already fair and lovely face an extra touch of ladylike elegance.
He didn't recognize her at first glance, but the way she shook her chest when she patted it made her instantly recognizable.
"No, it's me, it's her." Kanna Hojo's words were incoherent; she had said she was going to see her sweetheart when they parted.
Then, her friend discovered that her crush was a woman. She was like a startled kitten, so ashamed that she wanted to turn around and run away.
“Kanna, this is my good friend.” Mikoto stepped forward and took her hand.
Hojo Kanna looked panicked and tried to break free, but couldn't shake him off. She could only bury her head in her chest like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
"Yes, I spent the afternoon working with Hojo on some classical Chinese texts," Shirakawa Natsu explained.
"You can read classical Chinese?" Mi Zhi Shi asked.
Shirakawa Natsu knew that Miyuki was talking to him on purpose so that Hojo Kanna wouldn't feel too awkward.
He then pretended to explain seriously.
The two of them sang in unison, and Hojo Kanna's expression indeed relaxed a lot. She didn't interrupt and the blush on her face faded considerably, leaving only a faint layer.
The two deliberately avoided mentioning Kanna Hojo and chatted idly for almost ten minutes.
Footsteps sounded in the distance, and Jingu Nao ran over with a smile, stopping a meter away from the three of them.
He suddenly jumped up and landed right in front of the group with a "thud".
Jingu Nao raised a hand and smiled, "Contestant number one, you've reached the finish line on time!"
Shirakawa Natsu covered her face, thinking, "Look how well-behaved that guy's girlfriend is. Doesn't he feel embarrassed?"
Clearly, Jingu Nao wasn't embarrassed at all. She immediately greeted Minoki with a bright smile, "Minoki-neechan, it's been so long! I'm so happy to see you. What shall we eat tonight? Natsu said he'd treat me, but it turns out he's just freeloading off you!"
"Hey, shut up!" Shirakawa Natsumi tapped her on the head, pulling the idiot back to reality.
When Hojo Kanna saw someone else coming, she raised her head slightly, then lowered it back down to her chest.
Jingu Nao smiled and waved to her, as if to say hello.
Shirakawa Natsu felt that although this girl was lively, she had a strong sense of observation and was able to get along with people in a way that others could accept.
He didn't actively pull Hojo Kanna aside to ask her all sorts of questions, which put him at ease.
"Let's go, I've already reserved a spot." Mikoto opened the car door and got in.
Shirakawa Natsu took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, letting Jingu Nao and Hojo Kanna sit in the back, so that it wouldn't be so awkward.
Miyuki chose a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
Shirakawa Natsumi didn't understand at first; it seemed like a more formal occasion should be chosen for the dinner party.
After everyone sat down, he realized that Miyuki truly lived up to his reputation as a sea king, his methods were full of tricks.
Revolving sushi restaurants have tables right next to each other, eliminating any awkwardness during the serving process.
Miyuki proactively helped scald the chopsticks, showing great attention to detail in handling the sushi.
The initially awkward atmosphere dissipated significantly after eating the food.
Kanna Hojo also started to chime in from time to time.
Thanks to Nao Jingu, the atmosphere is never awkward when she's around.
"I still have a lot to learn." Shirakawa Natsu shook her head and secretly took out her phone.
Once you open the Huangmao app and get in the car, the system starts loading.
Now when I open it again, the task has indeed been updated.
The homepage still features the 3D version of Kimura Momo, but a side quest option has been added after hairstyle, skills, items, and status.
Clicking on it opens another page, which is different from the exquisite 3D version of Kimura Momo.
Kanna Hojo only has a half-body portrait, and there is no display of her affection level.
Only the task option is available.
Task 1: Connect with her and get her to admit that you are better than her husband. (Reward: 30 points)
Task 2: Multiple people connect with her, causing her to lose consciousness, and then take a photo while she makes a V-sign. (Reward: 100 points.)
"Note: Once one of the above mission objectives is achieved, the points calculation will begin immediately, and the side mission will disappear."
"Note: After completing the task, the task target will enter a seven-day cooldown period. If the task target and the friend still maintain a high level of affinity, the side task can be triggered again."
"?" Shirakawa Natsumi asked, a question mark popping into his head. The side quest was completely different from what he had imagined.
I originally thought it would be like the main storyline, where you would win over specific women and then exchange points for them.
Now, however, it's about completing the assigned task.
On second thought, it makes sense; if it were the same as the main storyline, there would be no need to separate the two.
The biggest difference between side quests and main quests is that they emphasize simplicity and speed.
There's no need to grind through that vague and complicated favorability system.
You get points for meeting specific requirements.
However, the point rewards for Task 1 and Task 2 are 30 and 100 respectively, which is a huge difference.
In the hairstyle options, the flowing blonde medium-length hair and the messy blonde medium-length hair are the same.
These are two completely different strategies/guides.
After reviewing Note 2, Shirakawa Natsu quickly understood the difference.
The romance option for the side quest can be triggered repeatedly as long as she and her husband are still truly in love.
If you complete Task 2 and are turned into a velvet ball, how could you possibly still have true love with your husband?
It's merely the master's task at best.
While Shirakawa Natsu was looking at her phone and getting distracted, Hojo Kanna stood up, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom."
"Hehe, I want to go too, let's go together." Jingu Nao stood up with a smile and took her hand.
Jingu Nao's social skills are truly top-notch; the two girls became fast friends after eating sushi together.
Watching the two pretty girls walk away.
"Thank you," Miyuki suddenly said.
"Huh?" Shirakawa Natsu didn't understand what his good friend meant: "Why are you thanking me?"
“I’ve had dinner with her twice,” Mikoto explained patiently, “but the atmosphere was terrible.”
"It seems you truly like her," Shirakawa Natsumi murmured.
A smile appeared on Miyuki's lips: "She's different from other girls."
Shirakawa Natsu looked at his good brother's smile; this was the first time he had ever seen this womanizer and playboy show such an expression.
He is unlikely to choose mission two, and will most likely use the frequency of once a week to NT his own brother in the future.
With an innocent expression, Kanna Hojo uttered from her small lips, "You're older than my husband."
No, Shirakawa Natsu felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Despite having received a healthy minotaur heart transplant, she experienced a palpable heartache due to guilt.
I'm not a blond guy, I was forced into this situation by this app.
Miyuki looked at him suspiciously: "Did something happy happen?"
"Huh?" Shirakawa Natsu looked puzzled.
Miyuki pointed at his face: "You were looking at your phone and laughing just now."
"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Shirakawa Natsu jumped up from her seat, her voice agitated: "That was a pained expression on my face just now!"
"Oh." Miyuki frowned, then turned his head and poured himself a glass of sake.
She's in a good mood today.
Shirakawa Natsuya realized he had overreacted and sat back down.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels clicking behind me rang out, followed by the scent of a mature woman's perfume.
"Miyuki, are you avoiding me?" The woman sat down next to Miyuki.
Chapter 54 My Brother Has XP Problems
The woman was around thirty years old, wearing frameless glasses and a daring outfit that revealed a deep V-shaped cleavage, a miniskirt, and high heels.
Miyuki's expression changed noticeably, and after a long while, he said, "Teacher."
"Teacher?" Shirakawa Natsu was taken aback. Her first reaction was that this teacher seemed a bit unserious.
What teacher runs around in stockings and high heels? But it looks pretty good.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?" The female teacher reached out and took the half-finished sake from Miyuki's hand, put it to her lips, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked up at her with bright eyes.
“No.” Miyuki shook her head gently: “We’ve already finished.”
The female teacher's expression gradually darkened.
Shirakawa Natsu involuntarily leaned back, then quietly stood up, intending to first stop Jingu Nao.
Otherwise, this scene would definitely be a bloodbath.
When he turned around, he saw two pretty girls standing behind him.
Jingu Nao stood with her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and blinked her eyes as she looked at the sexy woman who had suddenly appeared.
Kanna Hojo clasped her hands together, lowered her head slightly, wanting to look at Mikoto's side, but not daring to.
The woman also noticed the two of them, got up from her seat, and walked towards Kanna Hojo.
Kanna Hojo was clearly intimidated by her imposing manner and took a half step back.
Jingu Nao stepped forward, blocking Hojo Kanna's path, and said with a grin, "Being so clingy is quite ugly, Auntie~"
"Hmph." The woman snorted coldly.
Shirakawa Natsuya stood up and stood in front of Jingu Nao, looking down at the woman: "If this continues, it will be very awkward for everyone."
The woman glared at Shirakawa Natsu, then turned to Miyuki and grinned, saying, "I still prefer the way you used to be, lying under me calling me 'Mommy.' This girl isn't right for you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and gave Hojo Kanna a provocative look, then turned and walked away with a "clack-clack" of her high heels.
A moment of silence fell over the scene.
"Sorry, I have to go back now." Kanna Hojo stood up and bowed to the group.
