No, were you kidding me?
So this "Toothy Smile" skill didn't need my consent at all? As long as I accidentally showed eight teeth while smiling, it would activate automatically?
That was way too much of a trap. Good thing I'd figured it out in time. If I never understood the mechanic and accidentally used this skill on someone I shouldn't in the future, wouldn't that cause huge trouble?
Noah looked at Miss Vidona again.
The blonde beauty chef had already recovered. She casually whistled as she picked up her wok spatula and rinsed it beneath the tap, though a faint flush still lingered on her cheeks.
He discreetly swept his gaze around. Whether it was Monica and the others behind him or the new recruits lining up at the nearby serving window, nobody seemed any different. Apparently, they hadn't been affected by his smile.
That was good. There were men among the people in line.
He really didn't want to go head-to-head with Fiona.
But why had a simple smile, without any physical contact at all, allowed him to preliminarily conquer Chef Vidona?
Noah let his thoughts wander wildly.
Had he misunderstood what preliminary conquest meant before? Did he merely need to raise someone's affection high enough?
That might really be it. Even after Shiya had been bluntly rejected by him, she had still been deemed preliminarily conquered. Her affection for him was simply far higher than that of the other girls who admired him.
As for the girls Momousagi had accidentally conquered later, such as Monica and the others, they had merely happened to experience a further increase in affection during physical contact.
If that was the case, then with his charm further enhanced and a cursed skill like "Toothy Smile," wouldn't it be easy to directly raise
