Chapter 65 - A Word Of Advice

Ithelisemou looked up, he was wearing a disatisfied expression which quickly turned into a grin.

"Did you notice this just now?" he asked to no one for he was all alone, in appearance at least.

"Non? Don't you feel like someone tripped you? He did it again! It would seem like PH-3 still tried to do it, it never hurts to try after all" he spoke by himself, surrounded by nothing but complete darkness.

"Still... To think the system would gift such an ability to something it calls an wanted presence, it is not like the system isn't the one in charge of such things, that much I know, yet, it always grants them something, what a curious mystery..."

"It tends to give them basic abilities though, nothing more than a semblance courtesy, what could it be thinking?"

"You wouldn't happen to want to get rid of something, do you?" he asked as he suddenly turned around, looking into darkness just like everywhere else.

"Come on... I know you can hear me, I know you listen to me, who or what could it be that you would wish was gone? The Sins? You are the one who choosed them, have you not?"

"It wouldn't make sense for you to make such a mistake, it is within your total control"

"Ah, who am I kidding? You don't want anyone gone, you are the system, it doesn't matter to you, what could make the primeval being that you are, try to eliminate a lower being?"

"It is a tribulation, a challenge, I am being tested! Truly deplorable, this challenge, won't accomplish anything it is meant to, the ability to endlessly retry everything until success..."

"It is impressive, he used it to dodge all of BH-GM traps and correctly respond questions he didn't know the answer to and also to avoid becoming nutriment to PH-3's growth, this power affects the whole world too as I was brought back into the past as well..."

"Although its secondary effect of erasing memories for everyone except the user has no effect on me, I guess a simple system ability can only go so far, their special skills can hardly grow in power at all, they may have sharp tools, that seem capable of bringing me down but it simply won't cut it"

"Listen system, oh my dear system, I love you, you know? I love the way your put everything into numbers and assist us into understanding our surroundings, it is great, I love the special aspect you gave me at birth too..."

"...So, just for you, I will entertain, I could just go up to those three and deal with them instantly, it would be the best thing to do from a logical standpoint, there is always the possibility that they will awaken more abilities beyond my comprehension after all but I shall observe them and challenge them like a 'final boss' would"

The surrounding darkness was instantly flung away as light entered from the open door.

"Could you tell me what you are doing in the dark, in a closet?" asked Ortenmia.

"I was monologuing, I am attempting to get into a good role right now and it requires me to speak of my plans by myself in the dark" he explained naturally.

"I see, when you are done being insane, could you go find Lirama? That damned clown woman of yours hasn't come back still, she got lost in the woods, again" she responded casually before walking off.

"Ah, marital duties truly are more than what the definition entails" he monologued again, vanishing from his spot, grabbing the lost clown and bringing her back before going to do something else.

He wanted to visit a certain individual in person.

As per usual with him, he appeared unceremoniously and uninvited, this time in a dark, luxurious room, he did no movements in particular but all of the lights were lit up at the same time.

'I should also practice random movements too' he thought, adding that alongside with the monologues.

"Dea, long time no see" he said first to the vampire who was agape at seeing him.

"Theli! I thought you had forgotten me until you sent that letter, I didn't think you would show up in the flesh, in the flesh!" she repeated, as she walked up to him.

"In the flesh indeed, why are you naked? Have you been locked up in here since the last time we met?" he questioned as he walked around.

"I didn't have much of a choice, I needed to rest since some sunlight struck me" she responded as she sat down on her bed.

"Anyway, I am here to give you a word of advice" he spoke as he suddenly moved in front of her and grabbing her chin.

"Ma chère, you shouldn't try and fight that group that is after you, you should avoid confrontation at all cost" he said, making her frown intensely.

"Are suggesting that I flee from inferior bugs such as them? I have fully recovered from my time basking in the sun, they have no way of killing me" she responded as she grasped his arm.

"Fate does not lie Dea, you can try to fight them but keep in mind that it will result in your death if you don't eventually pull out, true death I mean" he said as he stared into red eyes.

"I could solve this for you but I know that you prefer to do things yourself, you pride yourself on such things right? So I will only give you an advice so that you may succeed"

"Oh, by the way, if you survive for us to meet again..." he whispered something to her and she gasped audibly.

"You... You can do that?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course, have I ever lied to you Dea? Now, I wish you luck in your endeavor" he said before vanishing again, the feeling of his fingers on her chin remained for a few more moments despite the fact that such a subtle feeling should be impossible to feel with her undead body.

"I should have asked him to let me drink a bit of his blood" she muttered after a few moments, realising that she was thirsting for some crimson liquid.
