Mario Eats a Mushroom

That's why, when she realized that Matsukaze Mayu had opened up, she tried to adjust her emotions and started talking to her.

After a while, Matsukaze Mayu suddenly asked, "Um, Shizuka, you should also know... he's very capable, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was extremely embarrassed, her face turning bright red. "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"I'm just a little curious," Matsukaze Mayu said guiltily, lowering her voice, "Anyway, every time I do it with him, I'm always so tired I can't get up, but he still seems to have all the energy, like Superman."

Hiratsuka Shizuka parted her red lips and stammered, "Um, me too."

"Huh?"

Matsukaze Mayu looked very surprised.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was even more embarrassed. "Why are you making that face?"

"I thought Shizuka, you're physically stronger than me, and your physique is far superior. I was sure you could do it."

"You're overthinking it! Makoto is a monster; his stamina seems inexhaustible. I was so tired that day that I couldn't move at all."

"Although you're tired, Shizuka, you must feel pretty good too, right?"

"... Don't say things like that, it'll make people feel awkward."

"That's true."

A few minutes later, Matsukaze Mayu suddenly grasped Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand.

As Hiratsuka Shizuka Shizuka at her with a puzzled expression, she heard her best friend whisper, "Since you and I think the same thing, and we both lose every time, how about...?"

"Wait! What kind of inappropriate talk are you spouting? Is this something we should be discussing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly interjected, afraid her friend would continue.

Although Matsukaze Mayu's cheeks were burning and she was shy, she still stammered out, "What if we can win?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "..."

Does winning or losing even matter?

That's what she meant to say.

But she quickly froze.

Because it is indeed quite important.

The fact that she was utterly defeated every time not only made her feel embarrassed, but also gave her a strong sense of frustration.

Despite being older and having held back for so many years, and with decent physical condition, why have I repeatedly failed?

Sometimes she even wondered: Did Makoto not get enough fun at all?

If that's the case, then wouldn't it become... I'm truly sorry, I couldn't satisfy Lord Fushimi's desires.

"Shizuka, what do you think?" Matsukaze Mayu carefully observed her friend's expression.

"Well... let's talk about this another time. Let's not discuss this topic for now." Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed and waved her hand haphazardly.

But her resolve had already wavered.

Since he and Mayu had such a good relationship, and both of them had failed in their duties, neither of them wanted to be defeated again.

If the two of us go together, will we win?

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath; she found herself filled with anticipation and excitement.

We will win.

She thought to herself.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]

Makoto Fushimi, who was taking Yumiko photos of Fushimi Makoto frozen in place.

A big question mark appeared above his head.

What's going on?

How did Jingke's task end so quickly?

Wait, is Teacher Matsukaze helping out?

Fushimi Makoto remembered the phone call from before.

So what exactly did the two of them talk about that caused Hiratsuka Shizuka to completely let her guard down?

"Makoto, what's wrong?" Yumiko noticed that Fushimi Makoto was lost in thought.

"It's nothing. Come and take a look at the photos. I think these four photos are pretty good. You can post them on social media to increase your popularity." Fushimi Makoto collected his thoughts, but he was still surprised.

"I don't need to look at it, just send it to me later. I trust your skills," Yumiko said with a smile.

Then, her cheeks flushed, and she asked hesitantly, "Should I change into the maid outfit next? Or should I put it on and then... take it off?"

The thought of what was about to happen made her legs tremble.

"Don't take it off!" Fushimi Makoto exclaimed quickly, "Please don't take it off, I want the maid outfit!"

Yumiko: "6."

Chapter 217 Mario Eats Mushrooms

Fushimi Makoto originally thought he wouldn't have time to study the effects of the [Delicate Badge] for the time being.

He was all prepared, waiting to finish today's photoshoot so he could find time to study it more thoroughly.

When Yumiko finished changing into her maid outfit, and the two went to the bedroom, drew the curtains, and closed the door, he realized that his judgment was wrong.

At this moment Yumiko, appearing in the frame, not only had a rosy complexion, but also a charming blush on her ears. At this time, there was no need to turn on the lights; the indoor light was bright enough, highlighting her snow-white, alabaster-like neck skin, which shone with an extremely eye-catching luster.

The black and white maid outfit fit her perfectly, except that the neckline was lower than Fushimi Makoto remembered, which was obviously intentional.

Following the girl's long, fair neck downwards, one sees her ample bosom. Her waist is slender and supple, and her bright blonde hair serves as the perfect embellishment, making her fair skin appear even more radiant and lustrous.

Fushimi Makoto only glanced at Yumiko for less than three seconds before he came to a conclusion with his own eyes: she had come to feel it.

As the first photo was taken, Yumiko's breathing became irregular, further confirming Fushimi Makoto's suspicions.

In the past, he could only get a rough guess by observing other people's facial expressions with his eyes, and it was not necessarily 100% accurate.

But now, with the [Delicate Badge] added to his power, his mind was telling him with absolute certainty: Yumiko not only had feelings, but also a strong and bold idea.

Fushimi Makoto suddenly remembered a topic he and his friends, including Aota, had discussed online a couple of nights ago.

Someone in the group mentioned that the sound effects of a certain game were amazing, incredibly catchy, and easy to get hooked on.

So this person asked Fushimi Makoto and the others if they had any similar, memorable sound effects.

Before anyone else could even think of it, Fushimi Makoto already had the answer.

His answer was: the sound effect of Mario eating a mushroom.

That sound effect was memorable enough.

Most importantly, eating mushrooms will make you grow bigger...

Right now, Yumiko's eyes were glazed over and her face was flushed, causing Fushimi Makoto's newly acquired [Delicate Badge] to frantically remind him: Yumiko wants to be Mario.

After taking three photos in a row, Fushimi Makoto looked at the girl who was still leaning against the wall, her waist slightly bent, striking a sexy pose, and he immediately walked over.

Interestingly, with each step he took, Yumiko's breathing became more rapid, and he could even hear the girl's heartbeat.

The enhanced perception provided by the [Delicate Badge] far exceeded Fushimi Makoto's expectations.

When he approached Yumiko, the girl's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes blinked, as if she were welcoming something to come.

Fushimi Makoto didn't speak, but simply reached out and touched Yumiko's soft hair.

To his surprise, Yumiko actually showed an expression of enjoyment, blushing and squinting her eyes, gently rubbing her hand against his palm.

Fushimi Makoto immediately recalled their earlier secret phrase, "Be good, listen to me."

Yumiko blushed completely, her eyes conveying a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance. "Why are you bringing this up again?"

"I suddenly thought of something, and it really matched your expression right now, so I said it."

"... I always felt there was something hidden in your words."

"Your intuition is correct. It just so happens that your outfit today is quite unique. How do you think you should respond to what I just said?" Fushimi Makoto chuckled softly.

A strange excitement suddenly surfaced on Yumiko's rosy face.

She pressed her head against Fushimi Makoto's warm palm, her lips slowly parting and closing. "Yes, Master."

Hiss!

I'm starting to feel it!

Are you satisfied now?

Yumiko's voice trembled; after saying those words, her legs actually went weak.

Fushimi Makoto did not answer.

Because at this point, there was no need for him to say anything more.

The girl's blush was more important than anything else.

"The maid outfit is definitely the best," he commented sincerely.

Yumiko's eyes held a hint of coquettishness as she leaned closer.

Yumiko left Fushimi Makoto's house at 6 p. m.

As she walked home, her beautiful face, still flushed, no longer showed much joy.

Instead, there was worry and embarrassment.

Because she never expected that she would hand over the defeat CG much, much faster this time than the previous times.

She had originally thought that since she was mentally prepared, she could hold on for a while longer.

As a result Fushimi Makoto defeated her instantly with a single move!

"Makoto's hands are incredibly skilled..."

Yumiko bit her lip, recalling the embarrassing scenes that had just occurred, and her embarrassment reached its peak.

She can accept failure, but she cannot accept being defeated so quickly.

To lose so quickly is just too humiliating!

What embarrassed her most was that she didn't know how to improve herself.

"I can only practice according to the training schedule that Makoto made for me for now. Maybe I'll be able to do better once my physical fitness improves."

On the other side.

Fushimi Makoto is washing his hands.

He looked at himself in the mirror, then at his own hands, and couldn't help but sigh, "The [Delicate Badge] is indeed a bug-level reward."

With this, he can even make the following kinds of accurate judgments.

For example, when should you go fast and when should you go slow?

When she needs tenderness, when she longs for it.

The [Delicate Badge] will always tell him everything immediately.

Now, he truly has the Hand of God.

Fushimi Makoto suddenly started looking forward to visiting Yukino again.

Yukino had previously expressed her desire not to lose too quickly.

So, her expression at our next meeting will probably be quite something.

At 6:30 p. m., Fushimi Makoto received an unexpected phone call.

It was Mrs. Yukinoshita calling.

He initially thought she was testing him again, but to his surprise, she told him on the phone that she had something important to discuss and that she would give him her share of the profits she made with the Fushimi couple, which he would then personally hand over to his parents.
