In the end, she didn't say anything, silently shifting her weight onto him. For some reason, Tsukishiro Liu could always feel a sense of reliability from Wise, as if many girls had relied on him before. She even felt that her condition improved considerably after being in contact with him, as if a warm current was flowing into her body, making her feel much more energetic.
But that must be my imagination, right? How could something like that be possible? Perhaps Wise just has a naturally approachable personality, which is why I feel this way.
Because of this feeling, Liu subconsciously leaned against Wise, even able to smell the scent emanating from him.
In reality, it wasn't Liu's imagination. Wise was indeed transferring something to her, but it wasn't a warm current; it was the talent he had just acquired. [Power of Denny], using it to help Liu recover. But Wise was also mindful of how much he used his ability, so as not to let her recover too quickly and notice something strange.
(Reader: What's the real reason?)
(Author: If she recovers too quickly, Liu will have to walk on her own. How could she lean on Wise like this then?)
(Reader: Nice.)
Back to the story. As Wise was helping Liu recover, he noticed that her current symptoms didn't seem to be simple low blood sugar, but it didn't look like she was injured either. At least with his current talent, it would take a lot of time and Dennies to fully heal her.
The Dennies weren't a big concern, but the problem was time. How could he maintain contact with her for an extended period? After thinking for a long time, Wise could only decide to consider this matter later, as they had already unknowingly arrived at the station.
Such a loving scene naturally didn't go unnoticed by some people on the roadside, who gritted their teeth. Some of them even recognized the woman leaning on Wise. They secretly took photos with their phones, their minds filling with speculation.
However, Wise didn't have time to think about these things right now. He spoke up to remind her, "Miss Liu, we've arrived at the station."
"Ah? Oh! I'm sorry, how rude of me..." Liu looked around, flustered. She immediately pulled away a little, her face slightly red and unnatural. What was that just now? How did I end up leaning on him while we were just talking?
Liu thought to herself. Since Wise didn't bring up what had just happened, she decided to keep quiet about it as well.
"Miss Liu, will you be okay going back by yourself from here?"
"Mhm, it's fine. I've already contacted Soukaku to wait for me at the stop."
Hearing Liu say this, Wise had no intention of continuing to escort her home. After all, going too far could be worse than not going far enough.
(Author wants to say, this is still the early stage. If he's too aggressive, it might make her wary. For a woman with Tsukishiro Liu's attributes, you have to give her care while also working through the child (i.e., Soukaku). The Soukaku front is almost settled. The next step is naturally to make Liu feel that the protagonist is someone she can entrust herself to. For this kind of situation, one can only say that a certain Mr. Cao would be quite adept.)
After Liu left, Wise went straight back to the video store. The moment he walked in, he saw Belle with a puzzled expression.
"Strange, brother, how come you're back so soon? Didn't you take Miss Liu home?" In Belle's view, her brother should have seized such a golden opportunity to win Miss Liu over.
"Belle, what are you thinking about again? Miss Liu and I aren't that familiar with each other yet, and someone was already there to pick her up at her stop." Wise looked at Belle, feeling a bit speechless. Why are you so eager to ship your brother off all of a sudden? Did I go too hard recently and scare you? But on second thought, that didn't seem right. Anby, Nekomata, Corin, Ellen, and Rina had all been coming over quite often recently.
"Sigh, okay. I was just thinking that if brother could win over Miss Liu, then with her position as the Vice Section Chief of Section 6, she would definitely be a great help to us." Belle expressed her regret.
Wise, however, couldn't accept this. "By that logic, Hoshimi Miyabi is the Section Chief."
"That is true, brother. But Section Chief Miyabi doesn't hold any real power and doesn't have as much contact with these kinds of duties as Vice Section Chief Liu. But to be safe, it's best to win them both over." Belle nodded sagely as she spoke.
But what she received in return was a slightly exasperated karate chop from Wise, right on her forehead. Although it wasn't hard, Belle still showed a pained expression. "Ow!"
"You deserve that. No matter how low I sink, I would never sell my body or love. That's my bottom line."
Seeing Wise's firm declaration, Belle covered her forehead with her hands, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. "Hmph, don't speak in such absolutes, brother. It won't be good if you have to eat your words later."
"That's impossible. Absolutely impossible." Wise's tone was as absolute as before. However, although he didn't say it, Belle's words still made him a little angry. He immediately decided to give her a little extra 'lesson.' Don't misunderstand, it was just a simple scolding (for sure).
The next few days were relatively idle. After all, the main tasks were completed. At most, Wise just had to complete the commission Morningstar gave him and pretend to be a novice. But when he completed the commission and found Morningstar again, he realized that even though he thought he had been low-key, he had still been too outstanding.
"You completed such a difficult commission so quickly! You're really amazing! The client also said your efficiency was particularly high and gave you a good review." In a corner of the café, Morningstar showed Wise the client's message with a smile. She seemed even more excited than Wise, as if she were the one being praised.
Wise just nodded with a smile. "I said I would complete it. I didn't disappoint you, did I, Miss Morningstar?"
Morningstar was momentarily dazed by his words. She never expected that the first thing he would say after hearing her praise was that he hadn't disappointed her. In an instant, a sense of happiness filled her heart. She, who had always been passionate about taking care of new recruits, had never heard anyone say that to her before.
"Mhm, mhm, you did a very good job. As a reward for completing the commission so beautifully, I brought you a gift." Morningstar mysteriously reached into her bag. But after piquing Wise's curiosity, she pulled out... another commission. "How about it? You like it, right? I know new recruits like you love this stuff."
