Female-dominated society: A beautiful boy from the countryside near Tokyo

Chapter 130 Questions and Doubts

Good morning, Auntie.

Under the gaze of Shimizu Setsukatsu, who was sitting at the dining table.

Hoshino Makoto sat down next to her, greeting her with a smile.

[Qingshui Xueyue was attracted by your smile; she finds it endlessly captivating, and her affection level increases by 5.]

[Shimizu Setsukyo thinks your smile is very beautiful and attractive. She feels her heart racing. Affection level +6]

[Qingshui Xueyue really wants to hold you in her arms right now, to knead you like a doll, heart-fluttering value +6]

Looking at the system notification about Shimizu Setsukyo, Hoshino Makoto's smile became even more genuine and outstanding.

My aunt's attention was drawn to me, so she probably won't lecture me for staying up late last night.

Moreover, the aunt's serious demeanor right now really gives off a sense of unapproachability.

Hoshino Makoto's imagination was wonderful, but reality was very cruel.

Shimizu Setsukatsu looked at the smile on the face of the young, handsome boy sitting next to her.

She paused for two seconds, then turned her head slightly away.

Shimizu Satsuki stopped looking at the boy's smiling, fair face and instead looked directly into his beautiful eyes.

Under Hoshino Masaki's bright gaze, Shimizu Setsukatsu put down the documents in her hand and reached out her slender hand to skillfully pinch his cheek.

"Xiao Zhen, do you know why Auntie came back today?"

Shimizu Setsukatsu gently pinched Hoshino Makoto's cheek and shook it, not wanting to use too much force.

Her clear, almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, like a mother fox interrogating her cubs.

"Auntie, it must be about the comics I drew."

"My older sister told me yesterday that I drew very well, and she's going to tell you, Auntie."

Hoshino Makoto realized that his deliberately displayed smile had not completely captivated Shimizu Setsukatsu.

He instinctively wanted to look at Bie Chu, but his cheek was pinched by Qing Shui Xue Yue's outstretched hand.

Faced with Shimizu Setsukatsu, who was now like a mother fox, Hoshino Makoto tentatively voiced his guesses from when he came down the stairs.

"You're so clever. You figured it out without me even having to say it, Xiao Zhen. That's why I came back today."

Shimizu Setsukatsu's long, slender fingers gently pinched and rubbed Hoshino Makoto's fair and outstanding face.

"Your older sister, Youyue, told me about your submission to Xingyue Comics last night."

"She said your comics are very good, and I've seen them too. Yuzuki is right."

Shimizu Setsukatsu gently pinched Hoshino Makoto's cheek with her right hand, and the corners of her mouth on her mature and elegant face turned up slightly.

"But Xiaozhen, Auntie has a question. Can you answer it?"

Shimizu Setsukatsu withdrew her hand from Hoshino Makoto's cheek, her beautiful and mature face looking earnestly at the youthful and handsome boy in front of her.

Auntie isn't trying to ask me why I can draw such top-notch comics at my age, is she?

How should I answer this? I should first say that I used to read comics when I lived in the countryside.

After arriving in Tokyo, I felt like I had nothing to do, so I decided to start drawing.

But I never expected that I could draw so well.

That's right, if my aunt really asks me that question, then I'll use this explanation.

Upon hearing Shimizu Setsukatsu's words, Hoshino Makoto quickly prepared a list of questions Shimizu Setsukatsu would ask.

And his own answer was to attribute it to his talent.

He only wanted to draw because he had nothing else to do, but he never expected that he would be so talented and able to draw so well.

Hoshino Makoto, you really are a boy who will become a handsome guy in Tokyo in the future. You are too smart.

"Auntie, go ahead and ask, I'll definitely tell you."

Hoshino Makoto raised his fair face, which Shimizu Setsukatsu liked very much, and said seriously.

Come out here, it's you I've chosen, my intermediate acting skills!

Hoshino Makoto was ready to use his intermediate acting skills to answer Shimizu Setsukatsu's question.

"Okay, Auntie wants to ask you, Xiao Zhen, there are so many manga companies in Tokyo, why did you submit your work to Hoshizuki Manga?"

"Of course, Star Moon Comics is your company, Auntie."

Upon hearing Shimizu Setsukatsu's question, Hoshino Makoto blurted out the answer instinctively.

After Hoshino Masato finished speaking, he realized that the question Shimizu Setsukatsu asked was completely different from what he had expected.

This shouldn't be happening; I can't believe I've created such top-notch comics at this age.

Auntie probably wanted to ask me why I could draw such good comics, right?

How could it be such a completely unrelated question?

Before Hoshino could think further, Shimizu Setsukatsu, whose voice seemed to have become somewhat lighter, asked again.

"How did Xiaozhen know that Xingyue Comics is Auntie's company?"

Shimizu Setsukatsu's beautiful eyes met Hoshino Makoto's, her face filled with earnest curiosity.

And a subtle pleasure that Hoshino Makoto didn't even notice.

"Auntie, have you forgotten? You told me that when you were in the countryside."

Hoshino Shinichi didn't even use his intermediate acting skills; he answered without hesitation.

"But at first I wasn't sure if Star Moon Comics was actually my aunt's company."

"So I used my computer to search for information about Star Moon Comics Company online."

"Then I saw that the president of Xingyue Comics is you, Auntie, so I submitted my comic to your comic company."

At the clean dining table, Hoshino's answer seemed to remind Shimizu Setsukyo of something, and the corners of her mouth began to turn up slightly.

"I see. So, Xiaozhen searched online and then submitted her work to Auntie's comic company."

Shimizu Setsukatsu subtly brushed aside her gaze from Hoshino Makoto, her tone seemingly becoming lighter.

"But Xiaozhen, don't you know that there are actually several comic book companies in Tokyo that are even better than Auntie's Star Moon Comics?"

Shimizu Setsukatsu's beautiful eyes moved from Hoshino Makoto's face to the documents on the table in front of her, and then met Hoshino Makoto's clear and beautiful eyes.

Looking at the young, handsome boy who was only a little taller than her waist, Shimizu Setsukatsu's expression became as serious as it had been at the beginning.

"Xiao Zhen, your comics are very well drawn. Although Auntie would love to sign you, Auntie still has to tell you something."

"If Xiaozhen, you submit your comics to those better comic companies than Auntie's Star Moon Comics, you will receive more royalties."

The slight upturn of Shimizu Satsuki's lips had returned to normal, and her gaze fell on the face of the handsome young man in front of her.

Although she desperately wanted to sign Hoshino Makoto to the Hoshino Makoto company, to sign the doomed Frilian manga.

But as Hoshino Makoto's aunt, Shimizu Setsukatsu felt it was her responsibility to explain things clearly to Hoshino Makoto.

If he submits his comics to those better comic book companies than Star Moon Comics...

The royalties you can receive are very likely to be more than what you would get from Star Moon Comics.
