The top priority now is to stabilize Tenkai Chizuru.
Forget about raising her, we need to first eliminate her suicidal thoughts.
Otherwise, you won't be able to get any more gold coins.
Then, Shimada Sho gave a gentle smile and said softly, "I won't upload the video."
Perhaps due to the change in attitude, Chizuru Amami finally regained the courage to raise her head.
"Really?" she asked Shimada Sho cautiously.
"Of course it's true."
Tenkai Chizuru swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "Then... could you please delete it?"
"No way," Shimada Sho refused outright.
Seeing her panicked expression again, he had no choice but to continue explaining, "The reason I didn't delete the video is to make you think twice. After all, with the video still there, even if you want to end your life, you should consider the consequences, right?"
"I..." Tenkai Chizuru hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Shimada Sho comforted her, saying, "There's no hurdle in life you can't overcome..."
"Could you please ask the clerk to delete the video about me?" Before he could finish speaking, Tenkai Chizuru suddenly spoke again.
This time, he looked directly into Shimada Sho's eyes and didn't stutter when he spoke.
He appeared to be a perfectly normal person, engaging in very formal negotiations.
But just now she seemed so timid.
How did it change like this in a second?
Sho Shimada couldn't understand it.
"This is very important to me. If you insist on doing this, sir, I have no choice but to..."
"What are you trying to do?" Shimada Sho's face turned cold.
Before she could finish speaking calmly and clearly, he rudely interrupted her.
He felt like he had been tricked.
This woman is perfectly capable of speaking properly.
He came in pretending to be timid and cowardly.
It made him look like a clown.
Now they're even threatening him, how can he tolerate this?
But after asking, he looked at the person in front of him and found that Tenkai Chizuru was silent.
Without realizing it, she lowered her head again.
"I'm asking you, what can you do if I don't delete it?"
Shimada Sho was in a bad mood, so his attitude was naturally not very good.
Even with just that cold remark, Qian Haitianhe's shoulders trembled slightly.
When she looked up again, her calm eyes became timid once more.
She curled up even more, looking cautiously at Shimada Sho, "I...I won't do anything to you, I...I'm sorry!"
She bowed again.
"Huh?" Shimada Sho was dumbfounded.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: My Little Sister is a Tsundere
Having lived through two lifetimes, Shimada Sho has met many people.
When communicating with these people, their emotional changes, whether happy or angry, are all traceable.
He had never seen anyone like Tenkai Chizuru before, who could tremble as she spoke one second, suddenly become strong and capable the next, and then shrink back and bow her head in the blink of an eye.
Even Shimada Sho was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Are you just faking this?"
"N-no..." Chizuru Tenkai hurriedly shook her head, "I just... got too nervous and..."
She couldn't continue speaking, so she started bowing and apologizing again.
He looks genuinely nervous.
"..."
Sho Shimada was speechless, and could only sigh in the end, "Fine."
The system has already mentioned dissociation symptoms, but he, being a layman, can't understand them.
It's pointless to dwell on whether Chizuru Amami is faking fear or genuinely timid.
All you need to know is that she is a suitable target for entry into the system.
A popular teenage idol with a net worth of over 100 million yuan would most likely not dare to resist.
As long as he doesn't die prematurely, everything will fall into place once he progresses through the young lady's character and unlocks the slots.
With that in mind, Shimada Sho said seriously, "I won't delete the video."
Chizuru Amami's body visibly swayed.
"Why...why?" she asked with difficulty, looking up.
Shimada Sho didn't answer, only saying, "I won't upload it either. As long as you're alive, this video will forever remain a useless file on my phone, but if you die..."
He paused, and only after the girl looked at him nervously did he reveal a meaningful smile:
"That's hard to say. It might even make headlines tomorrow."
Tenkai Chizuru's face turned deathly pale.
"No! You can't... Please, don't upload it..."
"Then stop thinking about ending your life!" Shimada Sho coldly interrupted her plea.
Tenkai Chizuru lowered her head and stammered, "I... I will try my best to live, as long as you... as long as you don't send the video..."
"Yes, that's for the best."
Shimada Sho ignored her, turned around and walked to the shelves to continue counting the goods.
It was almost nine o'clock, and he was about to leave work.
After checking all the items on the shelves, I turned around and walked back to the front desk.
To everyone's surprise, Chizuru Amami was still standing in the same spot.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Shimada Sho asked her, puzzled.
"I...I..." Chizuru Amami seemed to want to say something, but couldn't get the words out.
Seeing that Shimada Sho was staring intently at her, she finally couldn't resist.
After turning around in a panic, he left, looking back every few steps.
She clearly wanted Shimada Sho to delete the video.
Even if you're afraid, you should still try.
But faced with Shimada Sho's domineering gaze, he was too afraid to say anything more.
Watching Tenkai Chizuru leave, Shimada Sho felt refreshed and invigorated.
Dealing with this kind of girl is much easier than dealing with Yuki Ayase.
If all the girls in Tokyo had this kind of personality, wouldn't that be wonderful?
"As long as you enter it into the system, you can do whatever you want and take as much as you want."
……
At nine o'clock in the evening, Takikawa Rena returned to the store on time.
Seeing Shimada Sho organizing the bento box area, he grinned and came over, "Genji-kun, you've worked hard today~ Take a couple more bento boxes, it's on me!"
"Didn't you say there would be no discount?" Shimada Sho asked expressionlessly.
"Hey, this is a reward!" Takikawa Rena patted him on the shoulder. "The store's sales were pretty good today, and you, the temporary worker, deserve a lot of credit!"
Shimada Sho was too lazy to expose her, saying she was just having fun and in a good mood.
He picked out a mackerel bento box and also took an extra serving of fried rice.
The three-piece platter looks nice, but it doesn't taste good.
"Oh~ You have a good appetite." Takikawa Rena blinked.
Shimada Sho didn't explain, put the bento box into a bag, and carried it home.
He no longer rides a bike to exercise.
Anyway, it's not far from where I live.
I jogged to the outside of the wooden house and saw a person squatting at the gate of the courtyard fence under the two-story wooden building.
Shimada Sho recognized him at a glance.
Yuuki Hoshino.
She wore a loose sweatshirt on top and a skirt on the bottom, which looked mismatched.
He was standing at the doorway, holding a bag in one hand and his other hand in his pocket.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and met Shimada Sho's gaze.
He immediately looked down at his feet, frowned, and asked, "Is your bicycle broken?"
"...I forgot to ride it." Shimada Sho smiled sheepishly.
He mentioned the part-time job on his phone yesterday, and Hoshino Yuzuki probably arrived right on time.
As a result, I didn't ride my bike and wasted a lot of time on the road.
Everyone has grievances.
He was prepared to be scolded by his younger sister.
Without saying much, Hoshino Yuuki handed over the bag, saying, "Here you go."
"What is it?" Shimada Sho reached out and took it.
Upon opening it, I found six or seven oranges, a few bananas, and a few pieces of watermelon in a small plastic bowl.
"These are fruits from next door. I don't like oranges, but it would be a waste to throw them away, so I brought them over for you."
"Thank you." Shimada Sho ignored her subsequent attempts to make amends.
Fruits in island nations are incredibly expensive, especially watermelons, which are ridiculously pricey and don't seem like the kind of thing a neighbor would give away.
Hoshino Yuuki coldly said, "Eat the watermelon as soon as possible, it will spoil if left for too long. You can save the oranges and eat them slowly."
"Okay." Shimada Sho nodded in response, a warm feeling welling up inside him.
In his past life, he was an orphan who struggled alone in society and never experienced family affection.
Having transmigrated to this place, my only remaining family members have gone missing.
On the contrary, it was this nominal younger sister and Aunt Island Flower who gave him the care that only family members would give.
Shimada Sho enjoyed this warmth.
I would like to give back if I have the opportunity, but I can't do anything due to reality.
I want to say something, but it feels pretentious.
"I'm leaving." Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Hoshino Yuuki walked away briskly.
"Wait!" Shimada Sho hurriedly called out to her.
When she turned around, she raised the bag in her other hand and said, "Take this bento home with you."
“I’ve already eaten,” Hoshino Yuzuki refused outright.
Shimada Sho, however, persisted, stretching out his hand and saying, "If you've eaten, save it for tomorrow. Aunt Shimahana isn't here; you can't just eat bread every day, can you?"
“…The bread is delicious,” Hoshino Yuuki replied stubbornly.
