The H.P.S. (Hentai Protagonist System) [Old Version]

Chapter 33 - Innocent Confession

As he opened the door of his bedroom, in front of him stood Rina.

She obviously wasn't wearing that sexy maid outfit anymore, but a set of light blue pajamas. One might expect that, since she often wear revealing clothes, she might wear some kind of sexy outfit to sleep as well, but reality was different.

She was fidgeting nervously, from anxiety and excitement. She came to his room with the intention to discuss what they had done this afternoon, but she couldn't deny that part of her wanted to just continue what they had done.

In fact, part of the reason of why she was able to stay awake until this late, was because she couldn't bring herself to relax, imagining all different kind of scenarios with Takashi.

Takashi motioned for her to enter and then closed his door.

It was probably a good idea to not let anyone to listen them, so he also locked it.

He set at his bed and signaled for her to sit at his side.

For a while they stayed like that, if an awkward silence between them, until finally Rina spoke first.

"S-so, I think is p-pointless to pre-pretend now isn't?"

"That you don't like me?"

"Mn"

At Takashi question Rina simply nodded, to embarrassed to say anything else.

"But, how did you knew?"

"Actually, I wasn't certain. I had a strong suspicion, but nothing more than that. Just yesterday that I was certain"

"Really? How?"

"Anna-nee told me"

"She knew?!"

At her remark Takashi couldn't help but smile dryly at her.

"You weren't exactly good in hide it Rina. I wouldn't be surprised if mom knew as well, or at least suspected of something"

Hearing his answer Rina got so red that she was basically a tomato.

Her efforts in trying to put a cold attitude towards him would be more fruitful if she had being able to stop to spend time with him completely, but ultimately that was proved to be impossible for her. She would sometimes create the most outlandish excuse just to be around him, ask his help in certain subjects at school even tough Anna would be better at explaining them.

She would also express a sour mood whenever Takashi would for whatever reason mention another girl whom he might be getting along, whether it was simply out of courtesy or because of school work.

With all of those signs it was difficult to anyone to at least suspect that Rina didn't had an opinion of him that it was different of what she shown.

But to Takashi one of the biggest clues was the fact that, despite showing a different attitude, she never stopped to call him 'Onii-chan'. She could have called him by many different monikers or even started to call him by name, but instead she continued to call him by that affectionate nickname. It was almost as if a part of her refused to call him anything else.

"Okay, now I have a question" said Takashi.

"W-What?"

"Why would you think of streaming to a bunch of people wearing a revealing costume like that?"

"You knew about that to?!"

"You really should stop to talk with yourself out loud like that"

"Huh... it's just that Onii-chan was already making money and giving expensive gifts to us. I wanted to do something for you to, but I'm not really good with anything and I wanted to be a surprise. I thought that, since Onii-chan doesn't like streaming, that would be a good way to earn some money secretly"

'Wait, that's my fault?!'

He couldn't help but find these entire situation to be ridiculous. He was certain that there might be many other ways to earn money without him knowing that wouldn't require her to basically 'strip' herself to a bunch of, probably, horny old dudes.

'If there's a god of fate or something causing this, it really have poor taste for jokes'

Without knowing what Takashi was thinking, Rina made a question.

"So, what happens know Onii-chan?"

As she made that question she looked at him with uncertainty in her eyes.

He already knew that she liked him and suggested to her that he might feel the same, but never said out loud which caused a certain uncertainty on her.

"I also like you Rina"

"Really?!"

"Really"

"Yaaaay!"

"WAH"

At his reciprocation of her feelings, she was so happy that she threw herself at him in excitement, causing the both of them to fall at his bed hugging each other.

Before Takashi could say anything he felt her soft lips on his, and he immediately reciprocated the kiss. It wasn't a deep kiss filled with passion and lust, but a slow and tender kiss that allowed to transmit to each other how much they were happy.

After a few moments Rina took her lips of his and continued to hug him, rubbing her head on his chest with a content smile on her face.

She looked like a cat rubbing itself on the owner as a sign of affection.

Takashi knew that he still had a few things to talk to her, like his intention to have a harem, but for now he decided to simple enjoy her company.
