Chapter 29 - Chapter : 29 Saving Aunt Cass

Sho was sitting in class, lazily staring at the teacher scribbling on the board.

Suddenly, a soft chime echoed in his head as a familiar blue screen appeared before him.

> Update Completed

'Update? What update?' Sho whispered.

> Telepathy Synchronizing...

System auto-update complete. Patch fixes, new stock, and other maintenance applied. System apologizes for any inconvenience caused during the update.

'Wait—so that's why I wasn't getting any missions lately?' Sho asked.

> Maybe, Though The system does have a backup AI for support during updates, but it might've caused some errors. I sincerely apologize, Host.

'Forget the apology. Give me compensation. Do you know how many Gacha tickets I might've missed!?'

> Understood. As compensation, System will provide: 10 Free Gacha Tickets, 2000 Gold Coins, and 20 Upgrade Cards.

> Current Balance after compensation.

Gold Coins: 2800

Gacha Tickets: 21

Upgrade Cards: 33

'This is the compensation?' Sho deadpanned.

> What did the Host expect?

'Oh, I don't know… maybe Dragon Balls? Or Six Eyes? Or, you know, Nine-Tails' power or a Sharingan would've worked fine, don't you think?' Sho said casually.

> —_—

The system went completely silent. Sho sighed he knew his trick didn't work, He thought maybe System could've have given them as compensation but seems like it wont.

As he glanced at the interface again, he noticed it looked completely different—sleeker, cleaner. The new layout for his inventory and shop Screen been updated with new look.

As Sho closed the system screen, a random thought popped into his head.

Since the System could update itself… didn't that mean someone was controlling it from behind the scenes?

If someone was controlling it, that meant they could be watching him.

And if they were watching him…

Sho froze. Wait… does that mean they can see me when I'm naked? Like… in the bathroom!?

His face twitched.

'I really hope the creator isn't some gay dude,' he thought, silently praying to Jesus for protection—from gays.

Classes ended as usual. Sho left the school, walking down the street casually—until he spotted Aunt Cass.

[ Aunt Cass Img]

Then suddenly, a familiar notification popped up in front of him.

> Mission Assigned

It's time to repay the favor for sniffing Aunt Cass panties.

Go and solve her problem.

Reward: A Blowjob

Sho blinked, completely thrown off.

'Wait… what!? Those panties were of Aunt Cass's?!' he thought in shock. Then it hit him. Right… it did say "neighbor's aunt's panties."

He sighed, scratching his cheek awkwardly. "So that's why they smelled so good…" he muttered. He didn't want to admit it—but good smell is good smell.

Still, the mission was weird. Solve her problem… and get that as a reward?

Even Sho doubted it.

> Trust me, I'm never wrong.

The system's confident words flashed across the screen. Sho just stared at it, unsure whether it was really true?.

.....

As Sho crossed the street, he spotted Aunt Cass on the other side holding a shopping bag.

But the closer he got, the clearer it became—something was wrong. The usual bright, cheerful face she always had was gone. Instead, a faint sadness flickered in her eyes.

Sho crossed over and stood beside her, yet she didn't even notice him—lost deep in her thoughts.

"Aunt Cass," Sho called gently.

She startled and looked up

"Sho, what are you doing here?" She said forcing a small smile.

"I was just coming back from school and saw you. Thought maybe we could walk home together," Sho said.

For a moment, she spaced out, then quickly replied, "No... I mean, sorry, Sho. I can't walk home right now—I still have some shopping left."

"It's fine, Aunt Cass. I can come along," Sho offered.

She sighed softly. "No, Sho, you don't have to. It'll take too long."

But Sho didn't back down. Seeing that, she gave up with a small nod, and the two began walking side by side.

Sho glanced at her now and then—her face was still clouded with worry, completely drowned in whatever thoughts were eating at her.

"Aunt Cass…" Sho finally called again.

"Ahh… yes? What is it, Sho?" she said, startled again.

"Is there some problem?" Sho asked.

"What? No… there's nothing," she replied, but her voice sounded awkward, her eyes shifting away.

"Aunt Cass, I know you're hiding something," Sho said softly.

"No, Sho, really—there's nothing wrong," she insisted.

Sho stopped walking and gently held her shoulders. "Aunt Cass, please tell me. I promise I'll solve whatever the problem is."

"Sho, there's no problem," she said, lightly pushing his hands away.

'Even though I don't like using mind magic on people close to me… looks like this time I might have to,' Sho thought, narrowing his eyes.

"Aunt Cass," Sho said again.

"I told you, Sho, there's nothing—I'm completely fine," she said quickly.

"Tell me what's troubling you," Sho said calmly. His eyes glowed faintly due to magic —and in an instant, Aunt Cass froze in place, her expression blank.

As Sho asked her what the problem was, Aunt Cass spilled everything. She told him how, today in the morning, a man came into her café and caused a huge scene. Then he blackmailed her, saying he'd harm the young girls working part-time there if she didn't listen to him. He told her to buy some lingerie and act as a model for him — and that he'd be visiting her house after sunset.

"What!?" Sho shouted in shock.

The sudden outburst broke the spell.

"What happened, Sho?" Aunt Cass asked, startled by his reaction.

"Aunt Cass! How could you not tell me someone was blackmailing you?" Sho said, his voice tense.

"H-How did you know?" Aunt Cass stammered, completely shocked.

"It doesn't matter how I knew," Sho replied firmly. "But I didn't expect you to hide something like this from me. I thought we were close."

"No, Sho, it's not like that," she said quickly. "That man is dangerous. I didn't want to get you involved… besides, I was planning to trap him."

"Trap him?" Sho raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Aunt Cass nodded. "I wanted solid proof of his blackmail, so I bought a few hidden cameras. When he comes to my house tonight, I'll record everything — then hand it all to the police so he can be locked up for good."

"I see… then let's go," Sho said calmly.

"Go? Where?" Aunt Cass asked, confused.

"Of course—to your house," Sho replied.

"No, you're not! I told you it's dangerous," Aunt Cass protested.

"I said I'm coming. Let's go." Sho's tone was firm as he turned and started walking toward her house.

"Sho!" Aunt Cass called after him, trying to stop him, but he didn't even look back. she hurried after him to stop him.

...

At Aunt Cass's house

Aunt Cass paced and scolded him while Sho sat there like he didn't hear a word.

"Fine, Sho — but don't come outside. I'll handle him my way. If you get hurt, how am I supposed to face Ayaka?" she fretted.

"If Mom heard, she'd praise me," Sho replied, flat but unmoved.

"Okay, but hide properly. Don't come out. And put these cameras around." Aunt Cass handed him a few small hidden cameras.

She retreated to her room to wait, while Sho pulled out his phone and dialed Goro.

"Get over to my left neighbor's house, now also Bring a car—we need to kidnap someone."

"On my way, boss," Goro replied.

Sho's voice dropped low. "That bastard won't see the inside of a police cell. I'll make him pay in my own way." His anger thrummed beneath the surface, a dark murderous lingered around him—he wasn't just mad.

He wanted to kill.

Sun was setting. Goro and Jiro, both in black suits because they thought it looked cool, hid near Aunt Cass's house. Sho had called them again and told them exactly what to do: catch the bastard who would come to the door.

Aunt Cass came out of from her room in a Black slik robe which was slightly loose due to which her curvy figure was hidden.

She went pale when she saw Sho sitting on the couch.

"Sho, I told you to hide — don't just sit there!" she hissed.

"Don't worry, Aunt Cass. Let me handle it." Just then, the doorbell rang.

Ding dong.

"Sho, hide!" Aunt Cass whispered. At the same time a heavy thud came from outside and someone shouted.

"What is happening?" Aunt Cass muttered.

Sho rose and walked to the door.

"Sho, stop!" Aunt Cass called.

When Sho opened it, a rugged man was held roughly by Goro and Jiro.

"Boss — is he the one?" Goro asked.

"Sho, what's going on?" Aunt Cass stammered as she also came close to the door and the man Who was blackmailing her and two unknown person holding him.

"Aunt Cass— is he the one?" Sho asked, eyes sharp.

The man spat, "Bitch, tell him to leave me or it won't be good for any of you. You don't know who I am or who my brother is."

"Sho, who are these people?" Aunt Cass blurted, slightly terrified and worried.

"Goro, take him. Keep him with Freed." Sho ordered, and Goro and Jiro dragged the man away.

After Sho shut the door, Aunt Cass still looked stunned. Sho explained that they were his bodyguards and could handle this kind of problem. Then Cass remembered talking to Ayaka about Sho — how he'd started a business and even gone on a business trip.

"A—Sho…" she began.

Before she could finish, Sho put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Aunt Cass. Trust me. I'll handle him. He won't hurt anyone."

Aunt Cass gave a soft smile, reaching out to ruffle Sho's hair.

"The small boy has grown so much," she said warmly.

Sho blinked, scratching his cheek a little embarrassed.

"Well, since you helped me, you're having dinner here. I'll inform Ayaka myself. And don't even think about refusing—because you didn't listen to me earlier, so now I'm not listening to your excuses," Aunt Cass said with a teasing tone before heading to her room.

> Mission Completed

Saved Aunt Cass

Reward: Blowjob

Sho stared at the screen.

"Where's the reward? Don't tell me, System—you're the one giving it. I'm warning you, I'm not doing it."

> Host should have patience. Also, I am not gay.

Just then—creak—the door to Aunt Cass's room opened slightly.

"Sho, can you come over for a moment? I need your help with something," she said, peeking out from behind the door.

Sho's heart started pounding—thump, thump.

.....

Meanwhile in the warehouse

Freed glanced to the side, eyeing his new companion — the man who'd been blackmailing Aunt Cass, now completely tied up.

"So you're new here, huh?" Freed sneered, mocking him. "Well, at least I won't be lonely while we both get beat up."

The man coughed and tried to glare, but the bindings made it more pitiful than scary.
