10 Glow (5)
"Do you think I smell so bad?" Kevin curiously bought it up, he's just wondering if that man before stayed far away from him because of his smell
[You probably do] System 111 agreed
"That hurts," Kevin dramatically sniffed but didn't take it to heart since he knew how many days he haven't taken a bath before
"I'm gonna take a bath first~" He stretched his shoulders upwards, completely different from how he was before, stuttering, shy and scared
------
System 111 moved after hearing the alarm it had set every 10 minutes, it had already rang six times and it's host still haven't gone out
It flew at the restroom door and asked out loud, making sure that it's voice will be heard from inside,
[When will you be done? You've been there for an hour already]
Now, that wasn't an exaggeration, it's a fact, Kevin have already been in the bathroom for almost an hour
"I'm still taking a bath," A muffled voice replied, "We bought a couple of bath bombs and I think I'm addicted," Kevin sighed in pleasure
[...I knew it, we shouldn't have bought that] 111 felt it's eyes twitch
"Well, I was too nervous that I didn't properly look at the products I put inside the basket~ I don't regret it tho huhu, we should get a box of this!"
[Just hurry up, don't forget that we still have a target to find and a hair to trim]
"Yessss," Kevin answered vaguely, his whole body with only his nose and the upper part exposed, sinking in the tub that have a peach colored water, really not listening at all
[How many times have you washed your hair?]
System 111 is a bit worried that it's host will drown because of getting too comfortable if it doesn't talk to the other to distract Kevin
"Hn~? I think it wassss 10 times~"
[How many times did you soaped your body?]
"Ten times alsoo~ Now, now, hush~" Kevin made a 'keep quiet' hand sign with his eyes still shut tight,
"I'll come out maybe after a minute or five~" He lazily spoke and then focused at the sensation the bath is giving him
[....Five more minutes then, if you don't go out I'll go inside and drag you out myself] 111 compromised
Kevin hummed in response, this is really nice, he should probably pay attention to those women products, they are treasures~
While the two are all relaxed and chill, a certain someone is thinking deeply in their office
"He's really just a normal guy?" A rhythmical tune made by the drumming fingers adds pressure in the quiet room, his whole appearance look relaxed and chill
"Yes," Secretary Yuang Feng with his typical emotionless face voiced out, although he don't really know what is wrong with this citizen
"Hm,"
Normal people wouldn't think too much of Kevin's action before and just think he's a kind person who was extremely guilty but Qiang Qing is different from ordinary
He don't believe that in this world, everyone have no purpose when it comes to approaching him, what made him more vigilant is the fact he told his real name and not the alias he use everytime
"How annoying. What about the first business?"
"The contract with the Heng Group, DisPretty Fashion US Corp., Aidoru No Tabi JP Entertainment went well without any problems. Eumsig Jinmi, Manjar De Comida, Nouilless Express food imports went through well too,"
"The stone gambling at Huangshi, Jinghang, And Tiangun district....." A robotic and neutral tone without up and down was the only noise in the huge room until Yuang Feng finally finished reporting everything that occured at the first business and the second business
"Good," Qiang Qing showed no extra changes on his face or it would look more sincere but Yuang Feng have been with this man for years and understand him the most
"The woman?"
"She didn't show any hint of abnormalities,"
"Oh?" His raised an eyebrow, "So it seems, kill her," This was uttered so casual and calm that one would think the other plainly talking about killing a fish, not a human, living being
"Yes," Secretary Yuang Feng didn't bat an eyelid and just bowed down
He dismissed the other by waving a hand, leaning on the chair, he thoughtfully look out at the bulletproof, one-sided mirror glass that was renovated to the max defense potential it can turn into
"It's full moon," He mumbled as he massaged his brows. The clock by the wall made a sound, indicating it's already 4 in the morning.
"Tsk, useless pills,"

Kevin is full of energy after coming out of the bathroom, if this is a novel, there would be flowers blooming around Kevin, but since it's not, his actions of humming and skipping showed the mood he is currently feeling as he entered the living room with only a towel covering himself
[You scheming man] Contrasting to Kevin, System 111 is full of gloom, what five minutes? He shouldn't have believed it! What's the difference between a drunk, a deaf, a pretender and Kevin! Other than their situation, they are almost alike ah
"Don't accuse me ah," Kevin grinned mischievously while winking not-so-handsomely
"I did say maybe,"
[...Why didn't I drag you out again?]
"You were busy watching Peppa Pig," 111 regretted it, it shouldn't have been too focused with the show it was watching and just waited patiently for it's host to arrive at the five minutes due time
Kevin chuckled and then changed the subject to make sure 111 don't have any time to get an idea and thought about something he wouldn't want to happen, like, being strict huhu
"How do we use this?" His left hand carrying a black botle with a name that says 'Shaving Cream' and the other carrying a razor
[Look at the instructions?] 111 suggested while still a bit sulky
"It only says to spread the cream to the area needed to be shaved then use the razor," Kevin spoke plainly until he realized that the procedure will be easy
"Do you think this'll hurt?" He hesitantly gulped nervously, he absolutely don't like pain at all, if ever, he don't want to experience pain!
[I don't think so]
He and System 111 looked at each other, the latter trying to see any lies while the former trying to keep their unsure thoughts hidden
"Hmmmmmmm," He sighed and then went inside the bathroom again with system 111 as he joked, "This room might get mistaken as the master's bedroom if no one knows,"
He did what the instructions told after his joke didn't make the System laugh at all, w-well, he's not a joker! I-it's reasonable enough!
"Wow, this feels good?" Kevin blinked and just continued putting the cream under his arms, then his legs, and his arms
[Put it all in your body] System 111 thinks those belly hair need to go, it's really unpleasant to see a belly with hairs in a young man's body with it's aesthetics
"Okayy,"
So, Kevin stood up and put it on the places he haven't yet put a cream on, very focused, he don't want anything to go wrong after all
"Now, the moment of truth," Kevin and System 111 look at their weapon
The razor humanely sweated, it doesn't know why these two weird creatures are looking at it so intensely but it do know that it's making itself shy! (>//Д// <｡)
"AHHHHHHHH-----O-O-oh, it doesn't hurt," Kevin was shocked and then happily swiped the razor here, swiped the razor there, swiped the razor everywhere
System 111 didn't say anything until it glimpsed of something from the sachet the cream and the razor are packed at, it glanced at it's host then the sachet, back and forth
[I..I think you shouldn't do that qaq]
"What are you talking about?" Kevin tilted his head as his hands stopped shaving his left leg
[...Read what's written at that plastic] After saying that, System 111 bolted out of the bathroom, it definitely want to see it's host angry but it probably might get shaken again so it's better be safe than sorry..
[I'm so sorryyyyyyyyyy]

"COME BACK HERE YAH SYSTEM!" Kevin cried out in despair, his skin sniff, his skin!
He didn't know that he have to shave in only one way nor does he know that he have to find which way the hair grows (╥﹏╥) This is so unlucky!༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
After minutes of complaining and crying, Kevin finally calmed down and felt his skin-- Eh?
[What's wrong?]
"It doesn't feel as bad as I thought it will be...? More like, it's smoother and softer?"
[Maybe that's just normal? We don't know what a normal human's touch should be after all] System 111 spoke with doubt, then why does it's host need to shave in only one direction
"It probably is," He was kinda disappointed but well, at least it feels better than how it was before
He was still relieve after all, this time, he is a bit cautious as he didn't randomly shaved it, he was more focused than before that he was a bit sweaty...too sweaty actually as 111 also notices this
[Hey, you don't feel anything weird at all?]
"Nope, why do you ask?" He didn't even look up to see System 111 circling around him, inspecting
'There's definitely something weird..' System 111 knows that an average human sweats 0.5-2 liters in an hour, the thing is, Kevin is malnourished so it might be even less, but then, why is he still sweating too much, does he have a hyperhidrosis? Impossible, it simply can't be a coincidence for it to appear so suddenly...
"I'm done!" Due to blocking everything from it's surroundings, System 111 didn't notice that Kevin is already finished, it jumped slightly because of the abruptness and then uninterestedly look over
[Oh..???!!] With mouth agape, 111 knew it's broken, how, how can it's host look so..so..so..
