My Stepsister in Kyoto

"Excuse me." 

"Please come in." 

"Your parents really won't go home, right?

"Are you scared of my parents or something?" 

"I am not scared, but I am about to do something bad with their precious daughter, so I can't help but feel nervous that your father might throw me out of the building." 

Akatsuki laughed once again and said, "It's okay. You don't need to worry. By the way, do you want to take a bath?" 

"Hmm... together?" 

"Pervert!" 

"Isn't it normal for a papa and a daughter to take a bath together?" 

"You are not my papa! Moreover, we're already in high school! What kind of a father and a daughter who takes a bath when his daughter is in high school?!" 

Mizuto sighed disappointedly. "Okay." 

"Geez... you really are..." Akatsuki sighed helplessly and felt a bit of regret for calling him a "Papa." 

"By the way, I don't bring a towel, though." 

"It's okay. I have them, but are you okay to use my soap?" 

"It should be okay. My skin isn't a sensitive type." 

"Though, it is good that you bought sports clothes when we went out earlier." 

"Yeah, I didn't expect to wear it here, though." Mizuto didn't expect that Akatsuki would be bold by inviting him tonight. 

"Oh, what about the toothbrush?" 

"Should we go to the convenience store for a bit, then?" 

Akatsuki glanced at Mizuto for a moment, then nodded. "Okay." Even though she could lend him some items, it didn't mean that she had everything and there was something that they needed to buy, so with that determination, they decided to visit the convenience store that was located nearby. 

The two of them walked together and bought the necessary items for his stay, such as a man's soap and toothbrush. 

Watching him taking a man's soap, Akatsuki only glanced at him, but she didn't say anything. They didn't buy many things, only necessities for him. 

"Let me pay for it." 

When he was about to pay, Akatsuki pushed him away and paid everything with her money. 

Mizuto didn't say anything since this girl was quite stubborn in a certain area. However, all the girls who fell in love with a certain someone usually would do this as they wanted to impress their man. However, when they were about to leave, he said, "Wait for me outside for a bit. I forgot to buy something." 

"Oh..." 

Akatsuki blushed but nodded softly, waiting for him outside the store obediently. 

"Sorry to make you wait." 

"It's okay. Let's go back." 

He didn't make her wait too long as he only bought a single item. 

The two then walked toward Akatsuki's home as they had a light talk about the sports test that would be held on Wednesday. 

"It's fortunate that it will be held in two days." 

"Yeah." 

"But it's great that there won't be any lessons that day." 

"It's the best part of the Sport Tests." 

Both of them agreed the best part of the Sports Tests was the fact that they didn't need to do a lesson as the entire day would be spent on the Sports Tests. Still, when they returned to her house, she said, "Go and take a bath first." 

"Okay." 

It might be his first time to come to her house, but it didn't matter since he could feel comfortable in any place as it was one of his best points. Probably, if he was told to sleep on the steppe, he might be able to do it. However, it was much more comfortable to stay in the house, right? 

Still, he wished to check his new job and check his skills, but somehow, it was hard to do it, especially when he knew what he was about to do. Unlike when he was with Nami or Rinko, Akatsuki was still a virgin, so he knew that there were still some preparations that needed to be done. 

Washing his face with the warm water from the bath, he tried to knock the wall of her apartment. 

'As expected...' 

Mizuto knew that this type of apartment had a thin wall, so it had bad sound insulation, which made him sigh. However, it didn't matter since he could shut her mouth later. Nevertheless, he felt a bit disappointed since Akatsuki never came as he had waited for her inside the bathroom, so he decided to leave, dried his body, and then changed into his new clothes, a working-out t-shirt and shorts.

Still, when he walked out of the bathroom to dry his wet hair, he saw that Akatsuki was watching television absentmindedly while wearing her uniform. 

"Ar-Are you done?" 

"Um." 

"...how about you wait in my room?" 

"In your room?" 

"Um. I will take a bath for a while. Wait for me here." 

She guided him to her room before she left him as she went to take a bath. Watching her run to the bathroom, he shook his head and closed the door of her bedroom before observing her room. 

Her apartment was about 2LDK, with two rooms; one room should be her parents, and the other was her room. 

Similar to Yume, her room was girly, and frankly, there was nothing special about it as it was quite similar to Yume's room. If there was a difference, there weren't many books in Akatsuki's room, and her scent was different. It was sweet, vibrant, and somehow reminded him of a sunflower.

"What a pervert..." 

He shook his head, thinking that he was really such a pervert for smelling the girl's room, but at the same time, he also felt that it was normal. It was like when you wanted to eat something, wouldn't you try to smell the smell of the food? His situation was like that, he thought. 

Still, this alone time also gave him a chance to check the skills of the "Real Estate Developer." Like any other job, there were seven skills, of which two were passive skills and five were active skills. 

Those skills were: "Map," "Real Estate," "Energetic," "Durability," "Economical," "Clean," and "Safety." 

The passive skills were a "Map" and a "Real Estate," which he had to say were pretty impressive skills.

The "Map" gave him the ability to create a virtual detailed map of the entire earth and other planets such as Mars, Jupiter, and even the Moon, telling him which lands were precious and which were not, which made him speechless. The function of this ability alone was amazing, but this wasn't all, especially when he could combine this ability with the "Identify" skill. 

By combining the "Map" and the "Identify" skill, he could determine what kind of buildings he should develop and what kind of composition, which made him able to tell the area where there was a rich mineral or resource in the land that was chosen from the map. 

Whether it was a farm, a forest, mining, a hotel, or many other things, everything was listed by the system, and he was informed of the best way to develop the chosen area of land. 

Still, this was only a single skill; his next passive skill, "Real Estate," was an ability that allowed him to gain all the knowledge regarding the real estate business, from buying, selling, or renting real estate (land, buildings, or housing). He even gained knowledge of laws, procedures, and many other things, which instantly entered his head when he needed it. 

Yet, more importantly, he also gained knowledge on how to develop "Real Estate" in the future, such as building a concept-like or a future megastructure. If he gave an example, as long as there was enough time, money, materials, and many other things, he could develop a space elevator or a megastructure such as a seascraper, a large building built on the sea, or even a space colonization.

With those skills alone, he knew that he could become the best real estate developer who couldn't be defeated by anyone. 

Naturally, there was still a limit, as it was impossible for him to develop all of that instantly, especially when he didn't have the knowledge to develop the machines to build, talented manpower, and many other things to build that megastructure. 

Yet, even so, this wasn't going to make him give up, and the skills given by the "Real Estate Developer" were still far from enough, as there were still five active skills. 

Those active skills were "Energetic," "Durable," "Economic," "Clean," and "Safety." 

"Energetic" was an ability that allowed all the people who resided in the building inside the property that was developed or owned by him to feel they were full of energy. At the maximum level, it would increase one's energy to 100%, and it was definitely a great skill, as it would make the value of his property even higher. 

Still, if he wanted to, he could apply this skill to a house that wasn't owned by him, such as Akatsuki's apartment or even this apartment building. 

'It's so amazing.' 

This was only his first active skill; what about his second?

"Durable" was his second skill, which allowed the building he owned, developed, or chose to become 100% more durable than originally when it reached a maximum. While the effect of this ability might not be seen, there was no doubt it was useful. 

His third skill, "Economical," was the ability to lower the price of the management of the building and property he chose, owned, or developed. If one owned a building, they would be burdened with various expenses from electricity, water, and many other things, but as long as this ability reached a maximum level, there was no need for him to pay those expenses, which were quite similar to the "Discount."

His fourth skill, "Clean," was the ability to make his building clean. It might seem like something unimportant, but there was no doubt it was important since who wanted to stay in the dirty place?

Moreover, cleaning wasn't cheap, and it was rather expensive, especially in developed countries like this country, so having this skill was a great help. 

'Lastly...' 

His fifth skill, "Safety," was an ability to make his building to be saved from various things. As for what was various things, there were many things that could happen to a building, such as burning, short circuits, and even an earthquake. This skill made his building to be safe from all of those troubles, erasing the chance for such trouble to happen. 

Thinking how amazing this job was, he wondered what he should do now. 

He didn't want to build a house and then sell it since it was troublesome, nor did he think of becoming a brokerage. 

Instead, he wanted to make a building that would create value, but what was it?

When he was in deep thought, he was startled when the light suddenly went off, and a small figure suddenly jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly. While he was a bit scared as he thought that he might be stabbed as this someone had a weapon, fortunately, his luck had always been great, so instead of a sharp weapon, he was greeted by a warm, soft, naked feminine body. 

While he couldn't see much due to the dark environment, he knew well who this was. 

"Minami-san?" 

"Akatsuki. Call me, Akatsuki, okay?" 

"Akatsuki." 

Her white teeth gleamed under the darkness, and he could tell that she was smiling. 

"Don't scare me all the time." 

"But I can tell you are excited this way, right?" 

"...this phenomenon is called a misattribution of arousal." 

"So, you feel aroused now?" 

"Are you playing with me?" 

"I am not playing, but what do you think?" 

"I am extremely aroused!" 

 "...you really..." Akatsuki sighed helplessly and hugged him softly, feeling slightly nervous, but she never let him go. "I don't have a garter belt, but this should be okay, right?" 

Subconsciously, he reached her legs and felt a different softness of her bare thighs. 

"Stockings?" 

"White stockings." 

"....." 

Mizuto hated himself for not choosing a job that helped him to be able to see inside the dark. 

"...what do you think, Papa?" 

"..." 

At that moment, Akatsuki realized that she had awakened something that she shouldn't. "Wa-Wait, this is my first time. Be gentle, okay? Your thing is too huge!" 

"It's okay. I will be gentle." 

"Hn~! I will leave it to you..." 

Kissing her lips softly, Akatsuki started to feel relaxed before she left everything to him.

Sports Tests would be held on Wednesday, but tonight, they were going to train to get a good score for it.

I don't feel good today.
