Chapter 18: Yes or Alright
Alex Hambell wakes up as if he had a dreadful dream, shouting, "I dream that I got hit by a truck then I reincarnated in another world with my smartp—"
However, he did not continue his word because he felt a sense of déjà vu.
Feeling agony in his head, he tries to recall what happened before.
However, he couldn't recall how or why he had lost consciousness.
The door opens, and Alicia Hambell enters the room.
She opens the light so they can see each other.
When he met his sister, he wanted to ask her what had occurred to him earlier, but when he noticed Su Yan behind Alicia, apparently shy to see him, he opted to listen before speaking.
Su Yan hesitates, but she gathers her bravery and advances in front of him.
She bowed and apologised.
He had no idea why, but he remembered being with Su Yan earlier and assumed she had done something to him, so he waited for her to continue her statements.
She continued, saying that she did not anticipate him to tap her on the shoulder.
Su Yan is a martial artist, but she lacks the raw power of Alicia Hambell, so she usually relies on spells that enhance her physique or range spells.
However, this does not imply that her physique is weak.
In fact, she can beat at least ten low-class license adventurers without using any enhancement or range spells.
Her body is imprinted with what you would term a "self-defense mechanism."
A hackneyed narrative on every story in which when a person touches or taps someone's shoulder, they suddenly find themselves looking at the sky or, like Alex, falling unconscious.
Hearing her side, he scratched his head, thinking that he had not anticipated her to be so sensitive, so he chose to accept her apology.
She sighs with relief after hearing his response.
Alicia, who was watching this scene, expressed her pride for Su Yan as if she were a mother.
Su Yan noticed her expression and became annoyed, but she didn't say anything.
"You apologize without my help… It hurts to say but I'm proud to see you grow up."
Alicia Hambell couldn't keep silent, so she decided to express her emotions.
Su Yan, on the other hand, is well aware that she is taunting her.
"Shut your mouth! You didn't need to say anything."
Su Yan walks out of the room, ashamed, and slams the door.
"You don't need to tease her that much, Sis."
"That's okay. She is a secret masochist, so she will enjoy it.
"Sis…"
Alex is speechless when he sees how proud his sister is.
…
He was ready to fall asleep since it was already deep in the night when the door unexpectedly opened again.
The light was out, but when he heard the person's voice, he recognized it.
"May I sleep with you tonight?"
"Sis, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just… I wanted to sleep with you tonight."
He wanted to say that they were already adults, but she squeezed herself into his bed.
Given that she did not give him a chance to respond, he opted to shut up and let her do her thing.
After all, she only has one week before returning to Academy City.
"…"
He couldn't sleep while he lay next to her.
"Are you still awake?"
"Yes."
Following this brief interaction, the peaceful night grows louder.
Alex is currently very attentive of his sister.
They are not "spiritual" siblings, but his body is tied to her by blood, so why he is still getting heated up for some reason?
However, sensing the heat of her body, he couldn't help but "get up" in this scenario.
He sits because he feels this is inappropriate.
She snores, and he looks at her face.
She is currently sleeping.
He sighed with relief and reflected on how horny he might be.
Although her body is appealing to look at because she is dressed in sleeping pajamas and smells nice, they are linked by blood.
'Why am I becoming cognizant of her body?'
He wanted an answer, but that was impossible because he was speaking to himself.
He is into incest, but only in his fantasy; no matter what occurs, he will not cross the line between fantasy and reality.
Finally, he tried to get as much sleep as possible.
…
When he wakes up in the morning, he notices that his sister has left.
"Is this just a dream?"
He doubts that his sister returned home yesterday evening.
"What is that smell?"
He smells something nice and gets up to go down the stairs to see who's cooking.
"Good morning."
Alicia Hambell greeted him.
"Good morning, Sis."
He responded to her while yawning.
After hearing another set of footsteps coming down the stairs, Su Yan enters the room.
The kitchen, dining area, and living room are all located in the same space.
Exiting this room leads to the stairs and the shop.
While they wait, Alicia serves them breakfast, and they eat together.
…
Living room.
"Seriously? The glass door is pricey. After breaking it, she replaced it with a wooden door. Father and mother, I apologize for my sister."
He murmurs as he passes.
However, as Alicia and Alex caught eyes, she asked a question.
"Are you not going to open the shop today?"
'I hope that she didn't hear me.'
Alex thought before replying, "Yes. I'm temporarily out of items for a week or more due to travel issues, but I can assure you that I'll continue this later."
"I see."
Alex has previously made an excuse in case anyone asks why he didn't open his shop.
He had not anticipated that he would instantly use it on his sister.
Alicia Hambell did not mind his excuse, but she was curious about something.
"Aunt Erica sent me a package last month and to her letter, it said that your product is called smartphone."
Then she exhibits a small carbon white box, a signature box for his smartphone, and says, "It appears that she forgot to write in the letter how to use it, so I couldn't open it. Could you teach me?"
Alex was about to question where she acquired the smartphone because he was already out of merchandise, but he remembered that the first time he opened Tech Haven, Erica purchased three smartphones.
It appears that one of them was sent to her sister.
Alicia takes the smartphone out of the box and listens to his directions on how to open it.
As expected, she is shocked by its functions.
"Would you like to test it?"
"No, I believe in you."
Alex hesitated and asked, "Will you also inquire where this smartphone came from?"
Patting his head, Alicia responds, "That is your secret. Everyone knows a secret. I will wait for you to tell me someday. After all, even me…"
Her voice is somewhat getting lower.
Following their talk, Alicia recalls that she has a plan for today with Su Yan, which she tells him to change the topic.
"I have plans with Su Yan today; would you like to join?"
Alex Hambell recalls that most of the girl's plans always involved shopping.
He does not want to be the carrier but he still asked, "Do I have a choice?"
"Yes."
"So, what are my options?"
"Either yes or alright."
"That's the same."
"No, this is not the same. Yes, if you want to, and alright if you don't."
"If I say alright, am I not going with you?"
"No, you're still gonna come with us."
