Chapter 13: Three Older Sisters
Hoshino Makoto stood at the door, and the system notification appeared again.
He looked at the girl behind the door, and his gaze happened to meet that of Shimizu Ai.
[Shimizu Ai thinks your eyes are like moist black grapes, so lovely and captivating, +10 likes]
[Shimizu Ai is amazed by your outstanding appearance. Likes +5, Excitement +10]
[Shimizu Ai is happy that you will become her stepsister, and her happiness level will increase by 10.]
With just a glance, Hoshino Makoto gained thirty-five points of emotional value.
Shimizu Ai stared blankly at the young, handsome boy who only reached her chest, and stood at the doorway.
Auntie, where did you find this little brother for me? He's so handsome!
Hoshino Makoto's hair was as black as ink, her dark, moist eyes were like black pearls, and her skin was as white as milk popsicles.
His cute and handsome eyebrows and eyes also revealed a youthful innocence.
Shimizu Ai's nose twitched slightly; she seemed to smell a pleasant, fresh fragrance.
Shimizu Ai's heart was pounding. Looking at Hoshino Makoto, who looked like a cute boy from a manga, she forgot to even greet him.
"Xiao Ai? What's wrong with Xiao Ai?"
Shimizu Setsukatsu looked at Shimizu Ai, who was suddenly standing there in a daze behind the door, and followed her niece's gaze to Hoshino Makoto, whom she was holding hands with.
[Shimizu Setsukatsu marvels at your immense charm at such a young age, captivating Shimizu Ai; Amazement level +3]
A system notification popped up.
Hoshino Makoto did not feel helpless or distressed because of this.
Everyone's appearance is for their own enjoyment and for others to see.
"Ahem." Shimizu Setsukatsu coughed lightly twice. "Ai, let me introduce you. This is Hoshino Makoto. He will be your younger brother and will live here."
Shimizu Setsukatsu's cough immediately brought Shimizu Ai back to her senses. She excitedly extended her hand to Hoshino Makoto: "Hello, I'm Shimizu Ai. You can just call me older sister."
Hoshino Makoto politely shook Shimizu Ai's hand: "Hello, older sister."
[If you call Shimizu Ai "older sister," her happiness level increases by 10, and her excitement level increases by 10.]
No, please don't do this, I'm a little scared.
Hoshino Makoto felt that her older sister was perhaps a little too enthusiastic.
Seeing the system notification in front of him, he silently withdrew his hand from Shimizu Ai's.
"Alright, now that you all know each other, there's no need to keep standing at the door."
"Xiao Zhen, you must be hungry now. I've already asked the family chef to prepare a midnight snack."
Aunt Shimizu, you're not going to act anymore.
Have you forgotten what you told me at the restaurant in the countryside—that your chef had taken leave the day before yesterday?
Hoshino Makoto looked at Shimizu Setsukatsu's beautiful and intellectual face, which remained unchanged.
As expected of a boss, even the emoticons in the control panel are considered a basic skill in the system store.
"Are you hungry, Xiao Ai? Do you want some more late-night snacks?"
"No need, Auntie, I have something to do, I'll go upstairs now."
Watching Shimizu Ai hurriedly go upstairs, Shimizu Setsukatsu shook her head: "This child, still so impatient."
"Xiao Zhen, let's go get some late-night snacks."
On the pure white, luxurious dining table in the living room.
The late-night snack is ready.
"Xiao Zhen, this is duck liver soy sauce ramen, how does it taste?"
At the dining table, Shimizu Setsukatsu rested her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation and a smile.
"Eat like crazy, eat like crazy!"
Hoshino Makoto sat at the dining table, holding chopsticks in his right hand to pick up noodles, his mouth stuffed full.
Hoshino Makoto wasn't lying, nor was he deliberately trying to curry favor with Shimizu Setsukatsu.
The late-night snacks that Shimizu Setsukatsu had his family chef prepare for him were indeed very delicious.
Although Hoshino Makoto possesses advanced culinary skills, it doesn't mean that his palate has become picky.
However, while these late-night snacks were delicious, they were still far inferior to the high-class dishes prepared by Hoshino Makoto.
Shimizu Setsukatsu was unaware of all this. She looked at Hoshino Makoto, whose mouth was stuffed full, and a happy smile appeared on her gentle and intelligent face.
.........
After having a late-night snack, Hoshino Makoto was led by Shimizu Setsukatsu to the living room sofa.
"Xiao Zhen, you'll be staying with Auntie from now on. Don't refuse."
Looking at Shimizu Setsukatsu's undeniably beautiful face, Hoshino Makoto certainly couldn't and wouldn't refuse.
If he wants to stay in Tokyo, where else can he go besides living here?
"Good girl." The worry in Shimizu Setsukatsu's eyes disappeared completely as Hoshino agreed.
She had researched Hoshino Makoto's life from childhood to adulthood and knew that her good friend's orphan had a very resilient personality.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come all this way from the orphanage by herself.
If Hoshino really doesn't want to, Shimizu Setsukatsu is having a real headache.
Shimizu Setsukatsu ruffled Hoshino Makoto's hair: "Makoto, since you'll be living here from now on, you'll definitely run into your three older sisters. Let me introduce them to you first."
Hoshino listened intently.
Based on the system's prompts after he arrived at the villa, he suspected that the owner of the evil power was one of his three future older sisters.
Shimizu Setsukatsu took off her sky-blue coat, revealing a pure white sweater underneath, and looked at Hoshino Makoto sitting next to her.
"Xiao Zhen, the person you just met at the door is your third sister, Shimizu Ai. She is currently a senior high school student at the Aoyama National University Affiliated Higher Noble Academy."
Hoshino was somewhat surprised when he heard this. Wasn't the Aoyama National University Affiliated High School the very school that had admitted him?
Shimizu Setsukatsu had investigated Hoshino Makoto's background and naturally knew that her good friend's orphan and niece, who had been admitted to the Aoyama National University Affiliated Higher Noble Academy in advance, attended the same school.
One hasn't even started school yet, while the other is already a senior in high school.
After introducing Ai Shimizu, Shimizu Yuzuki chuckled and continued, "Your older sister is a university student at the University of Tokyo. Her name is Yuzuki Shimizu. She was home the day before yesterday, but she had to go back to school yesterday because of some business."
Hoshino Makoto nodded as he listened.
The Third Sister, Shimizu Ai, has already been tested by the system and is not a possessor of evil power.
My eldest sister, Shimizu Yuzuki, isn't home; we'll talk about that later.
But shouldn't I have a second older sister? Why did they skip over my second older sister and introduce my eldest sister directly?
Hoshino Makoto asked, "Auntie, what about my second sister?"
"Your second sister," Shimizu Yukizuki sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her eyes, "your second sister's name is Shimizu Rin. She stays in her room every day now, you don't need to worry about her."
Meanwhile, upstairs.
