The cheerful conversation between Mikhail and the girls was a stark contrast to the horrifying ritual that was taking place in the graveyard.
"That hero was not acting like a real hero at all."
"Yes, he is too reserved to be a hero."
"Lmao, he neither had the charisma not the lust a hero should have."
"Did you know the entire time we were traveling he didn't touch a single girls, and tried to actively distance himself from them."
"Hahaha what about you I was not expecting you to be in the hero's harem."
"Oh, my bad I am the hero's scribe my work is pretty simple, just writing about the hero's journey and exploits. As for being in the hero's harem, let's say except you everyone became a part of it."
"Damn must be hard on that guy."
"When did you start sympathizing with others? Looks like you have become benevolent."
"Benevolence my ass, it's sarcasm."
"How are you living your young master lifestyle and that little guy there is also not following the plot. What a cheeky bastard."
"You mean system, yes he has been a real quote after giving me this portion. He wants me to drink and fight those down there."
Just as Mikhail mentioned the system, he heard prompt notification.
[Host you have received a new mission
Mission: kill the hero party scribe
Reward: Another portion
Status: incomplete
Host the individual known as the scribe is a dangerous being you are advised to kill her as soon as possible]
"Hold your horses system, I cannot kill an innocent person just like that. Moreover I have a few questions for your system."
[Yes Host what is your question]
"System is she telling the truth?"
[The system is unavailable to understand the host's thought process the system is is solely there to aid the host]
"So tell me system why did you give me this"
Mikhail played with the small flask carrying the portion between while talking in a mocking tone.
"First of all system you have never given me any reward before. Now all of a sudden you give me this out of nowhere.
Moreover it's blatantly obvious that you are lying about not knowing about what this portion does. Am I right system?
Not to mention that this entire cultist shenanigans was a part of your plan. Am I wrong?"
[Host you are making baseless assumptions]
"No problem system I have enough time to argue with you all day.
But tell me truthfully system why did you give this portion?"
[It's is too help the host ]
"Fine it looks like I have no other choice but to expose you system."
[Host you have to hurry or else those cultists would.. ]
"Don't worry about that system."
Just as Mikhail said those words the entire place froze more like time stopped.
The only people who were able to move were Mikhail and the mysterious girl.
"Now now look, there is no reason to rush our conversation."
The girl chuckled after witnessing Mikhail's actions.
With a swipe of her hand a round table appeared in front of them with two chairs.
"Have and sit, it is better to have a conversation with a cup of tea."
With that two cups of tea appeared on the table.
Mikhail took his seat and started drinking the tea.
[My intuition was correct you are not normal host ]
"Yes I am not and I never claim to be normal either."
[Host is this a gift you recieved during your transmigration?]
"No, enough with your questions only I would do the questioning.
You can choose to answer or stay silent.
First of all you only know that I am transmigrated and don't know who I am.
But your claims on this world bring from a novel is not false after all its the other way around isn't it.
You don't know about the plot of the novel but you have the power to look into the future like a seer.
So your vision of the future is the plot according to you. We can say that you wrote the book according to the vision of the future.
This explains that you not only have the ability to look into the future but also travel through worlds. You reached another world with a human civilization where you published your book, but you are too crappy of an author so the book never got popular.
Now let's come to the second part where it gets more juicy.
You were the one that transmigrated me here me here, you transmigrated a random individual.
As for why you did it, well it is very simple because you were dissatisfied with the future that you wanted to change it.
But you know that fate is not something that can be easily changed which is why you needed an outsider that you can use as a pawn.
I am happy to see that you are cautious. You know playing with fate would cause a backlash so you ran away from this world as soon as the transmigration ritual concluded.
You know link and anchor to this world this system interface that you had sealed inside this person's spiritual body.
It was smart of you to not put the system in the soul since after the transmigration the soul is unstable which could have hindered your plan.
So judging from all your feats you can be called a god by this world's standards so now let me know which pantheon you are from."
The system remained silent for a long time as if to process everything and formulate a response.
Finally the system decided to utter,
[Host I am not involved with the cultists]
"Yes I know I was just probing you to tell the truth before,but now I have already exposed you."
[No host I don't know what you are and how you know these things but I am no god at least not one that belongs in a pantheon
As for my affiliation I am a priest at the church of the unthinkable]
