Arc 4. Charming Black Sheep Meets Secret Beauty Otaku (Levi x Reader) Chapter 6

Maya thought she could be happy, but as she curled in her bed, trying to ignore the burning sensation on her arms, she was once again reminded that she'll always be alone.

She glanced at her digital clock: 11:02 A.M. SATURDAY

Both mom and dad were away on business, so she was free to sleep in. Maya pulled her blanket over her face, still groggy, but a loud rapping at her door shook the sleep out of her.

"Kid, you awake?"

Reinvigorated, she dashed to open the door. Maya almost squealed.

You stood in the hall wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans, one hand held a leather jacket while the other fiddle with a phone. Your hair was fluffy and unruly, like you just stepped out of the shower and shook the water droplets off your head.

All the exhaustion and self-doubt was flushed away in an instant.

"My brother is so handsome. Even something as simple as a beautifully tight white t-shirt can't take away his handsomeness. Ah, I need nothing else, just looking at him recharges me!"--was what her eyes told you.

The system innocently spoke: [If it were anybody else staring at you with such lecherous eyes and not this puppy-looking human female, I bet you would punch them for sexual harassment.]

You ignored it and regarded Maya lazily, "You..."

Seeing your gaze on her arms, Maya gasped. Her first instinct was to cover herself and turn away, but you were faster.

"You free today?" You asked as if you didn't see anything.

"Y-yes, I have nothing to do right now."

"Get ready, we're going out."

"Where are we--"

"Just put on something you like and meet me in the car in fifteen minutes," you ordered, and walked away before she could say anything else.

Uwak, who has watched so many romantic movies as per your orders, commented: [Host, you really sounded like a scumbag leading man there.]

"Thanks."

[If I didn't know any better I'd say you were asking her out on a date.]

"Hm."

[You're not very talkative today.]

You said nothing.

The system: Ah, what to do ... My normally chatty Host is so curt right now. Please talk even if it's just you calling me stupid!

The poor thing didn't realize what it has become and silently begged to be insulted.

Waiting in the car, you were so lost in your own thoughts that you didn't notice Maya until she called your name for the third time.

"Hey," you greeted her softly.

As the main protagonist of this world, she was fresh as a daisy even after crying herself to sleep. Maya smiled at you as though she wasn't just beaten by her own mother last night.

"Nice dress."

Her smile strained. "Thank you! Dad bought it for me," she cleared her throat and ironed her skirt with her hands.

You raised an eyebrow but simply told the driver to go.

"Where are we going exactly?" She asked.

"I'm gonna shop for some new clothes. Thought you wanted to come along."

"Oh."

"You sound disappointed."
