Chương 11: Chapter 11: The Partners List
[Day 1]
Emerging from a revitalizing shower, Asahi donned his uniform and ventured into the kitchen. The alluring aroma of French toast paired with the rich scent of hot chocolate immediately captivated his senses. Yet, it was Shizuka's graceful dance between the sizzling pans and steaming pots that truly caught his eye. Roasting fish seasoned to perfection, sautéing a vibrant medley of vegetables, and expertly whisking eggs for a fluffy omelet at the same time — her culinary prowess would have been wholly undeniable if not for the comical sight of toasted bread stuffed in her mouth.
(The power of an onee-san! Unlock her final form by putting a bun in her bakery.)
'Did you… just suggest incest?'
(You already did it with your…)
'Hey, speak louder. I can't hear you.'
Klyscha coughed dramatically. (Legally it's questionable. Morally it's disgusting. Personally… I love it.)
It seemed Klyscha had learned about the culture of memes by stalking him. It also made her more accepting of the commonly frowned-upon topics such as incest. Or it could be the other way around, that she never cared about them to begin with.
'Ahem, I'll think about the Onee-san route later.'
He had to consider Shizuka's feelings before everything. Right now, he was quite excited about the other girls in this world and how he'd make them fall for him.
(The Oyakodon of a Tsundere Princess and her Mature Mother, the Sadistic Kendoka and her—)
'Shhh. Don't spoil the fun.'
Just then, Shizuka pointed at his breakfast and spoke muffled words that nobody could understand.
He couldn't help a chuckle. "Nee-san, no need to rush like that. We still have like an hour."
Shizuka removed the melon bread from her mouth and stared at him for a good while. His liveliness, a far cry from his usual silent self, left her baffled. It was only when the fish on the stove began to sizzle a tad too enthusiastically that she snapped back to reality.
[–Shizuka Marikawa: Affection +2]
She flipped the fish in a panic and took a sigh of relief. "Aa-kun, I want to take a shower at my place and change clothes. This one reeks of sweat."
"You look pretty fine, actually."
She gave a small smile as a small heart materialized above her head.
[–Shizuka Marikawa: Affection +3]
"No, really, I don't," she protested softly, her fingers nervously adjusting her collar. "I didn't expect the day to heat up so quickly."
Asahi took a seat and began to savor the delectable breakfast while admiring her diligence in her cooking. His gaze occasionally drifted to her plump butt accentuated by her tight black skirt.
'How does this cinnamon roll have no stalkers?'
A charming woman living alone would have at least three stalkers in his previous world.
(Anime logic, my love. Don't question the absolute laws!)
After packing two multi-layered bentos, Shizuka devoured her melon bread and revealed a cheerful smile. "So tasty… Ahem, Aa-kun, I'll be back in ten minutes. Don't go anywhere!"
"Wait, I'll come with you."
Her apartment was two streets away from his, yet he didn't feel safe letting her go alone. While the undead plague had yet to start, he couldn't rule out some other danger lurking around.
"You don't—"
"Nee-san, It's hot outside. What if you faint from dizziness?" He asked while shoving the bentos in his backpack. "I won't go in your room if that's what you are worried about."
Her cheeks flushed at the mention of her room. "T-There's nothing in my room."
Asahi's gaze narrowed playfully, intrigued by her sudden bashfulness. "Nee-san…"
"Okay, come with me! I have nothing to hide."
With his backpack in tow, Asahi followed her out the door and navigated the sunlit streets towards her apartment.
In another few seconds, they were standing before a cozy apartment on the second floor.
Shizuka hesitated at the doorway. With her hand lingering on the key, she cast a nervous glance back at Asahi. "Aa-kun, you promised you'd head back."
"Then you said you don't have anything to hide." He shrugged. "Besides, the parking lot is closer from here than it is from my apartment."
She bit her lip and conceded with a soft nod. "Well, there is one thing... something Rika left behind for me. Forget everything I said. Just come in."
Stepping into the apartment, Asahi was enveloped by the pleasant scent that uniquely belonged to Shizuka. He had lived here until last year then she moved him to another apartment. She did it for the sake of giving him more privacy.
He remembered Rika saying, 'Aa-chan is an adult now. Give him his own apartment to bang his future girlfriend.'
Rika even bought an apartment to make things easier for Shizuka since she had too much money in her bank account and not much time to spend on anything.
'I can't wait to meet the sniper lady.'
(Slay her in bed, and she is yours.)
Asahi stepped into the bedroom and saw the thing Shizuka wanted to hide from him — her messy bedroom. Books, clothes, pens, and even panties were scattered on the study table, the ground, and even the bed.
On one hand she didn't mind walking around him in just a towel. On the other hand, she felt extremely embarrassed about such a small thing.
'I've gone on dates with a hundred plus women. but I can never understand them.'
(She wants to appear reliable in front of you.)
'Makes sense.'
Shizuka's shoulders sagged in defeat. "I'm sorry, Aa-kun. I just couldn't find time to organize my room. I'll do it on Saturday—"
He placed a finger on her lips to silence her. "I know how busy you've been with your job and stuff. I'll clean things up while you shower, okay?"
"Thanks—"
"No thanks or sorry between family members."
She widened her eyes then cupped her cheeks, smiling giddily. "Rika-chan was right."
[–Shizuka Marikawa: Affection +17]
"Huh?"
He was baffled, partially by the massive increase and partially by her change.
"Rika-chan said Aa-kun will become reliable and mature in high school."
He let out a sigh and crossed his arms. "There was a reason behind my… strange actions until now. I'll tell you everything tomorrow."
Justifying the silent behavior of his pseudo self and his decisive actions from now on were on his priority list. Otherwise, she might become estranged and grow distant from him.
"Aa-kun, what do you mean?"
He glanced at the clock. "Nee-san, we don't have the time to stand around."
"Oh shoot!" She hurriedly took her cosmetics and rushed to the bath.
He chuckled and began putting the things back in their places. His higher agility allowed him to achieve things at a far faster pace than usual. In one of the bed drawers, he found the 'thing' Rika left behind — a gracefully elongated violet shaft that arched with a gentle curve, its surface smooth and devoid of any imperfection as if it was crafted with meticulous effort.
(...)
He quietly put the dildo back in its place and dusted off his hands. "And done."
The two reached a mutual understanding that it was better not to talk about the object of pleasure. They both understood the concept of everyone having physical needs, and his sister was no exception.
"Klyscha, show me status."
The status showed up. He didn't notice any changes from the last time.
'Shouldn't I have more skills?'
He had learned numerous languages, mastered the art of handling multiple enterprises, and even perfected his skills in bed. None of those showed up in the skill.
(Your achievements weren't recorded by the System. I forgot to take that into account, my love…)
'It's fine.'
Asahi couldn't help but find amusement in the paradoxical nature of Klyscha; a being capable of crafting complex realities, yet prone to the simplest of errors. It was a charming flaw, one that made her more endearing, more human.
(Hehe, praise me more~.)
'Not now. I wanna check the Partners function.'
[PARTNERS LIST]
Shizuka Marikawa
Klyscha Marikawa
???? ??????
(I took your last name as mine.)
'That's good and all. Can we talk about this mysterious admirer of mine first?'
He had a good hunch about the name hidden behind the question marks, but he wanted to hear Klyscha's reasoning for putting it here in the first place.
(Uh…)
'Klyscha Marikawa, my most beautiful wife. Are you keeping a yandere away from me?'
(Y-Yeah. That's right! I censored her name so my love don't stress over her.)
'Does her name start with Aimi and end with Akane?'
(...Yes. I rescued her soul with yours. Her soul is currently in stasis. I can unseal her if you want to meet her?)
He shook his head. Before meeting the bodyguard with a screw loose, he had to become stronger than her and guarantee a way to prevent her from harming him or his future lovers.
As much as he owed Aimi, he couldn't trust her after that incident.
(Thanks, my love… for giving her a chance. I really don't want her love to end because of her mistake…)
'She stabbed me two dozen times. That's not what you classify as a mistake.'
(Hehe.)
He put the matter behind him and first tapped Klyscha's name on the list. Her status really made him curious.

Chương 12: Chapter 12: The Lessons
[Day 1]
The sheer number of infinity symbols in Klyscha's status reminded Asahi of a certain black-haired loli dragon. Although strong, Ophis was nowhere near the level of his yandere goddess wife.
'Can I ask why you harbor maternal affection for me? Did watching this young master's life make you sympathetic?'
(Yeah… aren't you going to say anything about my race?)
'It's probably some perk of your class.'
(Hehe. I can change the race of my temporary vessel at will. It's an honor for a wife to choose the same race as her husband… That's what I read in some manga.)
'The manga you read while stalking me.'
(Mou~, don't call it that. I was scouting my life partner for his interests and… his personality.)
'Yeah yeah.'
He stopped teasing her and invaded the privacy of his beloved sister by taking a glimpse of her… status.

[SKILLS]
[COMMON SKILLS]
Medical Knowledge (D)
[EPIC SKILLS]
Luck (E)
(That's a nice number!) said the well-cultured goddess.
Asahi blinked his eyes in surprise, trying to process what he had just read in the status. While Shizuka saw him as her brother, his charm subconsciously sparked a romantic attraction within her.
'She's probably following the 'I raised him, so he is mine!' rule of anime.'
(Onee-san route begins!)
He ignored the enthusiastic goddess in his head and tapped the two skills in Shizuka's status.
[Medical Knowledge (Common) (Passive): The user has ample knowledge in the medical field.
Passive Effect: Allows the user to intuit the most efficient method of healing minor injuries or diseases.
Skill Mastery: D]
[Luck (Legendary) (Passive): Any disaster can change into a fortune for the user possessing this skill.
Passive Effect: Unlocks the hidden Luck Attribute, +20 Luck
Skill Mastery: E]
"The second skill is pretty nice."
At higher mastery, the skill would affect the very reality of overturning a misfortune.
(My love, you have me… you don't need Luck. I can make it all happen.)
'True. You forgot to explain about skill ranks.'
(Do you want a table, or do you want me to explain?)
'I love when my goddess goes into her sensei-mode.'
Klyscha loudly cleared her throat. (Let's talk about Passive Skills first. You can easily gain them through repeating a task numerous times and committing it to your long-term memory. For example, Shizuka's skill 'Medical Knowledge', her senses are trained to find the optimal cure for minor injuries. Every skill can be raised and evolved through practice, aka grind. However, it's extremely hard to evolve them above the Epic rank. As a matter of fact, getting them to Epic requires a genius-level talent.)
'My Nee-san is pretty amazing to have a Legendary Skill at the start.'
(Yup. Her skill, 'Luck', will affect the environment to provide her with an opportunity she would never have without the skill.)
'Damn. What about Active Skills?'
(They are quite different. Instead of passively affecting the user's actions, they trigger a certain action upon activation. Like pulling the trigger of a gun lets you fire a bullet. These actions are laws imprinted upon the soul and require certain mana criteria in order to obtain them. A soul can only have a limited number of Active Skills, which makes them all the more powerful in a battle.)
He didn't have to worry about the limitation because of his crazy high Magic attribute.
'Sweet. Are they only offensive in nature?'
(Primarily yeah. There are also non-offensive ones, like support skills. Active Heal, Active Strength Buff, etc.)
'Hmmm. I'll stack every type of skill then.'
He'd be the Main Damage Dealer, Tank, Support, Healer, and Debuffer at the same time.
(Basically, the pay-to-win whale of the party.)
'Anything to protect my women!'
The moment of introspection was interrupted as Shizuka emerged from the bath, her appearance in a simple towel momentarily catching Asahi off guard.
'She is breathtaking.'
(You are breathtaking.)
Her surprise at the tidiness of her room was quite clear, and although she attempted to voice her gratitude, Asahi brushed it off and gave her a gentle scolding.
He went out of the room, letting her change clothes.
…
The parking lot.
Amidst rows of ordinary cars, a flashy red sports car stood out in Asahi's eyes.
Toyota MR2 Spyder.
As one of the best sports cars available in 2006, it carried a hefty price of over a million Japanese Yen.
Shizuka's job paid her well, but she also had numerous expenses, like her college hospital fees and her branded clothes. She absolutely had no savings to buy a luxurious car. Even if she had the money, she'd have settled for a more conventional car rather than a top of the line sports car.
The car was a gift to Shizuka from her old friend Rika Minami.
Shizuka pointed her car keychain at the sports car and pressed a button. With a chirp, the car's roof slid back, allowing Shizuka to place her bag in the backseat.
She unlocked the car and slipped into the driver's seat. "Come on, Aa-kun."
Asahi nodded and settled in the passenger seat. She tightened her seatbelt, which dug deeply into the ravine of her J-Cup breasts. Her tight shirt only exemplified her bust, truly a sight for his sore eyes.[1]
Shizuka looked at him with a frown, showing her most serious expression to date. "Aa-kun."
Most people in his position would've panicked at the mere thought of being discovered. But Asahi, the shameless one, calmly met her gaze. "Yes, Nee-san?"
She untied her seatbelt and drew close to him, pressing her chest against his arm. She tried to pull his seatbelt but her tight shirt severely reduced her reach. In her struggle, her breasts repeatedly bumped into his face.
He could almost hear the 'Boing!' sfx being created by her bust. The tits dangled in his face for almost a minute before prevailing in fastening the seat belt on him.
"Never neglect the seatbelt," she gently scolded him and returned to her seat. "Aa-kun, you didn't miss anything, right?"
"Nope."
Shizuka held the steering wheel and stepped on the pedal. The sports car zoomed out of the parking lot and sped past every vehicle until they stumbled on the dreaded traffic jam.
She clenched the steering wheel, blazing eyes looking down the jam-packed road. If she had the freedom, she'd have run over every driver in her lane — he felt that type of energy from her entire being.
'I'mma cheer her up.'
He took his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her face. "Nee-san, the sun's rays are dangerous to the skin. You should pull up the top."
[–Shizuka Marikawa: Affection +2]
His considerate gesture eased her frustration. She pressed a button to flip the convertible top, saving them from the sun's wrath. She took the cloth from his hands and wiped his forehead. "What's gotten into you today?"
He had never treated her so kindly… so affectionately. It wouldn't be off to say he treated her with more affection in one day than he did in his entire life.
"It's Onee-san Appreciation Wednesday. Every little brother will dedicate this day to appreciate their older sister. I decided to join since Nee-san works tirelessly for my sake."
Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes as if his words touched her heart. "Aa-kun, is that true? You really appreciate me?"
"Of course. You're the best Nee-san in the world."
[–Shizuka Marikawa: Affection +5]
She chuckled. "I'm so happy, Aa-kun… I'm so happy. I'd have kissed your face if I didn't have the seatbelt on."
Asahi inwardly cursed the seatbelt for standing between him and the kiss from his lovely sister. "It's fine, Nee-san. I already know how much you love me."
She reached out and touched his face. "I don't just love you, Aa-kun. You're my everything. I love you more than anything in this world… Aa-kun is my world."
(A yandere in the making?)
'No, I won't let my sweet Nee-san into a stabby chick.'
He liked her just the way she was — sweet and caring.
Honk! Honk! Extremely loud horn sounds ruined their wholesome moment. Shizuka took back her hand and returned her attention to driving. The joy dancing in her eyes was infectious.
Feeling an extremely strong gaze on his back, he turned his head and saw a bus. Amidst the plethora of passengers occupying the window seats, he was drawn to a certain bespectacled girl with smooth, violet hair.
The girl resembled Saeko to a tee, the only difference being the intellectual glasses and her ponytail hairstyle. She was the easygoing, playful twin of Saeko Busujima. That was all he knew about her from his memories.
Of course, she didn't spawn out of nowhere. He had added an instruction in the world modifications about Saeko having a twin sister. It had everything to do with his twin sister fetish. Besides, he was curious about how Saeko's upbringing would change with a sister by her side.
Will she remain a kendoka genius and a sadist, or will she become an ordinary girl?
Saeko's twin smiled, her blue eyes twinkling. She placed a hand on the window and playfully waved the other. It was all she could with the bus' windows being sealed shut because of the air conditioning.
Shiori's movement exposed Saeko, who was sitting beside her sister. Saeko was absorbed in a book, completely ignoring her sister's shenanigans.
'The twins. I'm sure they'll thrive in the new world.'
(They absolutely will.)
Then, Shizuka sped up the car. Shiori stuck to the window and waved goodbye with a radiant smile. She seemed like the opposite of Saeko in every sense.
