2 - Smile

I changed from 'you' to [Name]. Hope this is better. Tell me in the comments if you want to stay as 'You' or as [Name]. I'm not an engineer so I can't really explain most of the scenes but I tried.

Actually no, I'm reading back and I use both 'you' and [Name] so..

Not proofread.

'Rp? Is that like experience points or something? They don't really explain muc on how to use it.'

[Name] crossed her arms in wonder as she keep looking at the blue alert screen, 'By improving relationships with key characters means...' She turn to look at Javier and notice another blue screen! The screen shows his approval rating rating which shows how extremely low it is. About -31. That made her taken aback by how low it is, 'URK-- THAT LOW?! Ugh..'

She thought about trying to compliment him to see if it'll work but then she realise how utterly embarrassing it will be, you don't want to risk having it even lower, and also to save yourself some dignity that you have left. 'Let's just leave this for later. Don't rush it or else it'll become worse.' With that, she continue to head back to the pub.

"So you're the purchaser, I'll be the builder.  We'll write off all construction fees against all of the property I damaged!" She offers a contract and ink, sliding it across the table towards the pub owner. Showing an chill smile as if she's unaware, "Now please, sign here!~"

Alert!:
The pub owner is looking at you suspiciously.

The pub owner uses skill, 'STONE HEART WALL'.

With that, an imaginary transparent wall appears in front of the pub owner who is looking at her with a blank and dead look.

'Tsk. This is a problem! No one has any trust in me. Jeez, my big plan can't fail from the start! I didn't want to resort to this, but...' Her lips quiver, not in sadness or anything like that but in hesitance. In the end, there's no other way, 'Let's use this roughie image to use!'

"Come on, we're going to see each other a lot from now on, so let's trust each other, huh? Well?" A fake irritated smile that is threatening to frown with irk marks appear. A menacing aura surround her to help with this 'roughie' persona. Apparently, that's enough for the pub owner's skill to deactivate as the pub owner immediately scribble down his signature on the contract.

Alert!:
Wow, you're horrible..

'What else am I supposed to do?! Ask nicely?? No!' An actual irk mark appears on [name] because of the alert. Then she grinned, 'At least I got my first order!' shoving the rolled up contract into your coat after the pub owner handed it back to you. You unhelpfully chuckled mischievously, "You've made the right choice, sir! I won't let you down hehe.." Unaware of Javier's judging stare from behind you.

There's must be something in the corn flakes

Now, you are in the back of the pub with Javier. Holding a shovel with the head facing down, you look around the place and thoughtfully think things through, 'It's going to be cozy and simple so I don't need to be too precise with my measurements...'

"Lady [Name]."

"Hm?" [Name] turns her head to look over her shoulder at Javier who called out to her. "You threatened the pub owner to sign the contract. Are you already coming up with new ways to cause trouble?" He glared at her, holding back his tone from outrightly showing a lot of displeasure and disappointment. [Name] made a face of confusion towards Javier before raising an eyebrow at him, "You're not as reasonable as you seem. Have you ever heard of cognitive distortion?" Javier repeats your words, 'cognitive distortion' in confusion. You point your finger at him and you slightly furrowed eyebrows, "It's where you believe someone will do this and that because of what they did in the past. It's the distortion caused by prejudice and negative thinking clinging onto your brain!"
