You have 10,100 points. You can get one level-three skill, two level-two skills, or five level-one skills. Netori explained once I reached my house.
We were now in my room, and I was pacing back and forth with just a bit of agitation. I had listened to Netori entirely in this. This was my best chance of getting everything back that I had lost. Thats what she had told .
True feelings, thats the skill you want to pick, right?
Netori nodded. Although Jacks skills are provided by Netorare, and thus differ from my own, he must have been given sothing akin to manipulation. The best way to fight manipulation is with honesty.
How does it work?
If you see the person, you can use it on them. It has limitations. It makes their next choice or action be based on their true feelings. It will cut through other abilities, but its not like it rewires the brain. What choices you choose to use it on are the most important. Jack and Netorare dont know you have this skill. If you want to use it effectively, you have to choose your choice carefully.
I stopped walking for a second, my fist tightening. What if What if my sister really does not have any feelings for ? What if she chooses Jack?
Netoris smile turned slanted and she looked away. I dont think you give yourself enough credit. Youre her brother. How could she choose so two-timing asshole from school over you.
Because Im not a good person. I responded. Because, Im selfish, and self-centered, and arrogant.
Most guys wouldnt be able to admit that.
Im serious here, Netori. What do I do if it fails? I demanded, feeling a tinge of anger.
It wont Netoris face went red.
How do you know? I spoke, growing even louder.
Because I chose you. Netori shot back.
My mind blanked, and my mouth fell open. It opened and closed a few tis.
I chose you, to play this ga. Netori turned away, hiding her face. Clearly, I wouldnt pick a loser. I saw sothing in you that made think you had a chance to win my ga. Thats why I picked you. If a goddess like would put her faith in you, then how could your own sister not?
R-right, thats what you an. I sighed, my heart feeling strange for a second.
What else could I an? Netori finally looked back, crossing her arms irritably. Enough with your insecurities, will you choose the skill I recomnded, or are you wasting more of my ti?
Ill take it. Give True Feelings.
Very well Netori nodded, but then her face flushed with panic. A-and dont be thinking that this kind of skill will work on a Goddess. My oath binding Netorare in that manner was a fluke. A fluke! Were very resistant to the charms of mortals. I would never give you skills that would work on the likes of !
Huh? I turned around, my expression incredulous at her sudden strange accusation.
Netoris face flushed with pink. Rember, timing is everything. I recomnd you wait until she makes the decision to leave for the party, and then strike her then. Youll have your answer.
Right
Ill be busy, dont call unless you need ! Netori snapped her finger and disappeared without another word.
Ignoring Netoris unpredictable behavior, I looked over at the wall that I shared with Maria. Part of just wanted to imdiately walk over there and use it on her. I just wanted to ask a question like do you love ? and then get the truth out there. Was that really so hard?
The Halloween party was on Friday. That left an entire work week to wait for the big day. I took Netoris advice though. What was the point of having a trump card if I used it prematurely? My only choice was to wait until the night of the party, and then attack when it would have the greatest effect. At the mont she was to leave, Id put the choice to her. She could go to the party, or she could stay and be with . Then I would hit her with True Feelings and see what happened.
I went through the plan a million tis. How would I approach her? What would I say? That was just about all I thought about during that week.
Hey man, thanks for that folder of information, my boss intercepted it, but it was really useful. I reasoned out that it had to be Derek who sent that information on Jack.
Only he would be so thorough as to even have a girls asurents.
Folder? Derek laughed. Of course, what are friends for? The enemy of my enemy and what not. Hey, you eating on the roof today?
We ended up on the roof, going through the list of nas. I told him about my part-ti job and confird that many of the people on this list Jack had personally brought to my place to taunt . I told him about what he was doing to my sister as well. I didnt ntion anything about goddesses, special abilities, or NTR Crush, but he sympathized, made the appropriate negative remarks toward Jack, and frankly, it was nice having a friend again.
With Akiko out of the way, I felt a certain bit of comradery with him. He was an NTR Crusher without even having the advantage of the ga. I hated to admit it, but we were actually a lot alike. As long as we werent focused on the sa won, I had no particular beef with him. With a common enemy, I could even almost see him as a friend again.
You know, with this list and those videos, there has got to be sothing we can do, Derek said.
I nodded. Ive already planned it all out. You heard about the Halloween Party this Friday?
The one being held in that spooky mansion? They say its owned by the Yakuza. Supposedly a bunch of seniors are involved.
Jacks got his hands in it sohow.
Damn now my interest in the party has gone down. An open invite to upperclassn though? Its going to be interesting.
You might want to consider crashing. I shrugged. I have a feeling the party is going to end with a bang.
Derek looked over at questioningly, but I didnt give him any more answers. Only an idiot shows their trump card early, isnt that what I decided? Still, I told him this much since I had already Dirt Scribed him to make sure he was trustworthy. There were no secrets there to reveal. He was mostly angry and embarrassed at being one-upped. He was an asshole, but no one to concern myself with.
In class, Mrs. Fukumi mostly tried to pretend I wasnt there. I Dirt Scribed her a few tis, and her thoughts seed to constantly be on , but she managed to keep a level head in class. Her thoughts mostly sat around wondering when Id make her do stuff again. It was honestly weird, since sotis her thoughts almost sounded excited or in anticipation of the event, rather than dread. Her mind felt truly broken, and each day she grew more nervous as she waited for the mont Id strike and attack her again. Thoughts of worrying for her daughter didnt even seem to be present.
My mind was almost completely focused on Friday, so I didnt pay my teacher any attention at all. Rather, I decided to let her stew. I was causing her more hell by doing nothing than I could by blackmailing her so more. When it ca to Kira, we didnt chat at all. It was a little lonely, and if I hadnt been able to talk to Derek, I might have thrown myself at Kira for emotional support. As it was, she kept her distance and didnt acknowledge at all. Whenever I saw her in the hall, there was a flash of her naked, spread open on the couch, and I decided talking to her would be too taxing.
I continued to work at the gaming center, and Jack continued to co in and taunt . However, every ti he entered, I didnt feel regret or pain. Rather, a bit of delight shot through . Every girl he brought in, I made sure to copy the resulting film. I also made sure to get her full information from her identity card. After they were done and left, Id casually google their nas, clicking on their Facebook profiles, and looking into their history. There was so very interesting reading if you looked hard enough.
Gina wasnt the only girl with a unique past. Many of these girls he had acquired were in similar relationships. It truly was a sha his relationship with them was so shallow. It was Netori who had ntioned this to , but he didnt have as many points as I thought. He was only a level 4. Considering he had almost two dozen sexual partners, that seed surprising, except that the won he dated were either floozies that slept around, or won that were manipulated, coerced, and blackmailed. Simply put, none of these won liked him.
Once I realized this, I began to see it in their faces. Most of the won looked bored, anxious, or like they were fulfilling so kind of duty. Few of them looked genuinely into it, and few of them left with pleased expressions on their faces. He didnt treat these won properly at all. Well, he was using them essentially to browbeat into the ground, so they were already being used as a show. Why would these girls be endeared to him in the slightest?
The week past by, and that final Friday, I felt extrely anxious the whole day at school. Part of wanted the day to pass quickly, and the rest of felt that it took forever. Finally, school let out. I had asked for this day off, and Deacon grudgingly agreed. I went straight ho, as a result, just waiting for my sister to finally co ho from school.
The door finally opened and she didnt even face as she walked straight past the living room and to her door. This was the usual way of things. She never even ca out to eat. As for , I decided to cook dinner, and made so spring rolls, rice, and panko breaded chicken dipped in soy sauce. By the ti mom got ho, I had an entire feast laid out on the table. Still, in the apron, I brought out the better tasting sake that she usually didnt guzzle down and poured her a glass.
Whats the occasion? Mother asked, a very pleased expression on her face.
Ill be going to a party tonight, and I want to make sure Mother is well taken care of before I go, I said on the spot.
I didnt want to speak the truth, that I was really anxious and just couldnt think of anything else to do.
A party? Mother pursed her lips. That reminds , Ill be going to one with your father tomorrow night.
Be safe, mother I bowed.
At this point and ti, the door to Marias bedroom opened and she walked out of her room. She was wearing a long coat and was holding it around herself. She had kitty ears on her head, and a tail was hanging just from the bottom of the coat.
Wait girl. Mother declared as Maria walked by. Open the coat.
M-mom Maria glared at mom angrily.
I said, Open it.
Maria sighed and opened her coat. She was wearing a black outfit with just a little fur around the breast and crotch. However, the cloth portions covered her shoulders, belly button, and down to her knees like capris pants. Overall, it was suggestive and sexy, but not unreasonable.
Mother looked her up and down and then nodded. You look okay enough. I know what girls your age wear at Halloween parties these days. I wont have my daughter dressed like a slut.
Maria looked away. Yes, mom.
Mother nodded, and Maria went on her way.
Ill be going too. I told mom, even though I wasnt wearing any outfit.
I got up and followed Maria out the door. About ten feet out the door, she pulled off the coat and then ripped off the fabric from her outfit. In an instant, she went from sothing sowhat presentable to sothing little more than a bathing suit. My sister really was dressed as a slutty kitty! Those fur parts on her boobs and vagina didnt just accentuate those body parts they were the only part of the costu that remained! A car sitting in front honked, and Maria started to run towards it.
Maria! I called out, running up behind her.
Maria spun, imdiately covering her body. Well, if youre too embarrassed for to see you in this, why are you going out in public with it?
H-hakaru? Maria said in a panic. Dont tell mother.
Dont go I ignored her outfit and declared.
What?
You heard . Stay with , Maria. Dont go to this party. Look into your heart. I love you and I want you to stay with . Please. That wasnt what I had planned to say, but that was what ca out.
Hakaru the thing about us
I activated True Feelings.
Please, you need to pick. You can be with , and I can be yours, or you can pick Jack. I want to know how you truly feel.
Maria blinked, and then took a step towards , her hand coming out and her lips parted. Hakaru I
Hey! Jack shouted standing outside the drivers side of the door and glaring over the roof. You coming, Maria?
Maria looked back and him, and then to . There was a brief mont of resolution forming in her expression as she finally made her decision. She smiled at , a sad smile.
Im sorry, Hakaru. Thank you for being my brother, but there was never a choice to begin with. She turned around and headed back to the car.
As I stared with my mouth open in shock, she slid into the passenger side door. Jack was looking over the hood of his car at with an insufferable smile on his face.
Too bad, dude. I told you. What world would you ever win against ?
He got in the car, started it, and then the pair of them drove off into the night.
