The counterattack system arrived 20 years earlier, and the sister next door originally wanted to cul

Because she is Ruoye's 'sister'.

But once you confess, everything is different.

Lin Xiaqing seemed to be able to foresee the scene where Sister Ruoye deliberately distanced herself from him.

"Sorry, Sister Xia Qing."

"But I don't have that kind of thought towards Sister Xia Qing."

Just thinking about that scene made Lin Xiaqing feel extremely terrible.

But... when Lin Xiaqing saw the black and white stockings under the pleated skirt that she had chosen for Takanashi Wakaba, she couldn't control her expression.

"Not bad~" Because of her happy mood, the ending tone of Takanashi Wakaba's words had a slightly upward arc.

But...Kotori Wakaba suddenly caught Lin Xiaqing's gaze.

Sister Xia Qing, who had stretched out her hand to take the bag of clothes from her hand naturally, just stared at the hem of her skirt in a daze.

Takanashi Wakaba lowered her head——

Then he saw the black and white stockings on his legs.

The tips of my ears feel like they're burning.

"actually..."

Before Takanashi Wakaba could even start her words, she was interrupted by Miss System.

After parting with Tachibana Nagisa, you walk along the streets of Akihabara.

[Thinking back to Tachibana Nagisa's parting smile, you feel like there's still a chance to salvage everything.]

【Then--】

You saw a familiar figure on the streets of Akihabara.

[More than a decade later, she looked exactly the same as I remembered.]

【Just at this moment...】

[Lin Xiaqing looked embarrassed and dejected.]

【Feeling sad.】

After hearing your news, she hurried back to Tokyo from the Eastern Main Continent and happened to witness your date with Tachibana Nagisa.

She hadn't slept all night, and now she was completely disheartened.

【She turned and chose to leave.】

[Facing the bitterness on Lin Xiaqing's lips, you decide——]

【…】

[Quest Requirements: Use your skills to soothe Lin Xiaqing's broken heart, and question whether everything she said before leaving without saying goodbye was true.]

[Mission reward: 100,000 yen.]

【…】

What...what does it mean to use your skills to soothe Sister Xia Qing's withered heart!??

Hasn't this world line reached the point where Xia Qing's sister confessed and then left without saying goodbye?

Why do you have to ask this yourself?

Kotori Wakaba's movements froze there. She looked at Lin Xiaqing, who was feeling mixed emotions because of the child's words that morning and the stockings on Kotori Wakaba's legs at that moment.

and also--

This soothing, this technique you're talking about, is she serious?!

Volume 121: Part : Does Sister Xia Qing like me? [Fourth update]

"I'll take it seriously!" Miss System patted her chest and assured Takanashi Wakaba.

"and--"

"If the host-darling feels that it is impossible~"

"Actually, there's another side quest you can choose."

[Facing the bitterness on Lin Xiaqing's lips, you decide——]

【…】

[Pretend nothing happened and watch her leave. ]

[Mission reward: 10,000 yen. ]

【…】

If Aunt Ruoye hadn't tried to stop her at that moment, she would have been forced to watch Sister Xia Qing go away, and then completely become the white moonlight in her heart.

But the current Takanashi Wakaba is different.

She can also choose to continue maintaining her relationship with Lin Xiaqing.

As long as we don't reveal it, it's good for both of us...right?

Such doubts arose in Kotori Wakaba's heart.

If it was the Wakaba Takanashi before she met Miss System, if... it was the Wakaba Takanashi before she triggered the Terajima Shino series of quests, perhaps she would really make this choice.

The so-called telepathy and tacit understanding...are just a cover before the confession.

Just that layer of paper.

No matter how passionate the feelings are, they will eventually fade away, leaving only regrets.

The reason why Terajima Shino left was that the two graduated from high school, went their separate ways and lost contact.

Then...what about Sister Xia Qing?

She doesn't belong here.

She deserved a bigger stage.

Takanashi Wakaba actually knew that Sister Xia Qing had come to Tokyo because she had a conflict with her family.

In another world line, the opportunity for Sister Xia Qing to return was her confession to herself.

So...what now?

What's next?

Can I keep Sister Xia Qing by my side for the rest of my life?

Sister Xia Qing and Terajima Shino are different after all.

Thinking of this, Takanashi Wakaba put one foot on the car floor mat and knelt on the seat with the other foot.

The coupe has ample space, enough for a petite girl like Wakaba Takanashi to stand up.

"looks good?"

Smiling, she asked Lin Xiaqing.

It was probably hard for Lin Xiaqing to imagine that one day the girl who had always been "timid as a mouse" in her eyes would actually have such a bold idea. She would wear black and white stockings, prop up her knees on the passenger seat, and openly ask herself if she looked good.

"Good...good-looking?" Lin Xiaqing answered completely subconsciously.

Kotori Wakaba crawled on her knees towards Lin Xiaqing, and the distance between the two was very close.

Whenever Lin Xiaqing wanted to, she could hug the girl's little head and give her a deep kiss, just like the scenes she had seen in countless TV dramas.

"That..."

"Do you like it?" Xiaoniao You Ruoye asked Lin Xiaqing with her neck slightly tilted back.

The girl's clear, lively, and sparkling eyes made Lin Xiaqing feel extremely unfamiliar.

She even had trouble seeing Ruoye's expression.

I have a bad feeling in my heart.

A strange atmosphere seemed to be brewing in the car.

"Like...like..." Lin Xiaqing could only answer passively.

She saw a smile on the girl's face.

The coupe has excellent sound insulation and noise reduction effects. Even if the streets of Akihabara are crowded with tourists and noisy, it has nothing to do with the interior of the car.

One-way glass can also effectively protect the privacy inside the car.

Even if... she was pressed against the window, and saw the girl walking by the car, or even stopped to adjust her makeup in the reflection of the car window. She would not realize that someone was watching her helplessly from inside the car through the glass, covering her mouth and nose tightly for fear of leaking any sound.

A strange idea popped up in Lin Xiaqing's head.

"So... Sister Xia Qing, do you like me or socks?"

The girl's sudden voice broke Lin Xiaqing's wild thoughts and gently popped the bubble of the cramped atmosphere.

"Of course it's Wakaba."

By the time Lin Xiaqing came to his senses, it was too late.

The beautiful face of the girl crawling towards him was already within reach. Lin Xiaqing could clearly see the fair, delicate skin of her neck and smell the fragrance of her hair. It was the scent of Lin Xiaqing's favorite shampoo, with the fresh aroma of grapefruit.

That's a matter of course—

Almost everything about Ruoye was handled by Lin Xiaqing.

Sister Ruohua is always busy. Although she would transfer money to herself regularly as Ruoye's living expenses and the cost of her helping to take care of Ruoye,... these trivial things were eventually replaced little by little by the selfish Lin Xiaqing to the way she likes and the way she likes.

She saw a satisfied smile on Kotori Wakaba's face.

Like a little devil that has caught its own tail.

The huge sense of uneasiness and anxiety almost swallowed Lin Xiaqing in an instant.

Will I no longer be able to rub Ruoye's little hands in the name of the sister next door, coax Ruoye into sitting in my arms with potato chips, and watch Tokyo Love Story together?

What will Ruoye say next?

"What a perverted onee-san."

"To think you had such perverted thoughts about your tenant's sister."

"When I went to school..."

"Sister Xia Qing, do you often sneak into my room and do strange things in my room?"

Just thinking about it made Lin Xiaqing feel like her world was about to collapse.

really--

Guys like me should just run away in disgrace with my tail between my legs.

But she could swear that she had never had any improper thoughts about Sister Ruoye's furniture or clothes.

"I like Sister Xia Qing too~"

Lin Xiaqing seemed to hear a sound from nature.

She turned her head and saw that Wakaba Kotori was already sitting in the passenger seat. The girl was gently swinging on her toes and looking down at her black and white stockings.

With her head lowered, Takanashi Wakaba actively and clearly expressed her love for the first time.

Since childhood, under the overly brilliant and shining light of her elder sister, Takanashi Wakaba rarely took the initiative to express her love.

For a long time, the family has been preparing everything that Ruoye likes with the idea that they should prepare for Ruoye whatever Ruohua likes.

Although it is often similar, there is no problem.

Most of what Takanashi Wakaka likes, Wakaba also likes, but... there are always some differences.

When she lowered her head and talked about her favorite name, Kotori Wakaba, her tone became sticky and seemed to have a light tone, with the ending tone slowly rising.

Just like the heroine in a novel.

"But...I'm greedy."

Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, and she turned her head to look at Lin Xiaqing.
