"Connect... wait wait what?" Wisely, the green owl stopped with a confused voice.
"Connect origin... hum? What was that?" Gennie also asked in a confused voice midway, her eyes meeting mine.
"Connect origin serv-, what?" Zora and Miyu almost finished faster, but, stopping midway, looked at the others in surprise.
"You... Adrian. You, ptff. What was that?" The angel was doing mental preparation, so he had time to process what had just happened.
I said something very different from what all these younger ones were saying and these reactions... were fascinating.
"Oh? I said something different, right? Hmm... well, my bad. Let's try again."
I tried to cover up for the mistake I made but was caught by my friends instantly.
I thought it would be the owl boy but the first one to burst out in laughter over my little blunder was the little cat with us.
"Ptff... hehehe. You… Adrian~. Hehe... for someone like you to say it like this. Hehehe..."
She continued laughing, and others also burst out in laughter.
"Rian? Man~. That... what was that, conman? Con... hahaha!" The green owl with us that had no excuse to laugh all this time was now in tears, holding his stomach while laughing loudly.
"Hmmm... right! Wow... hahaha. Just wow." Gennie was also in tears, but she was good at holding back her laughter, so it was well on her side.
"Ok, ok. Ahem! Everyone makes mistakes. Rian might've just been playing a joke. Right...?"
Zora was trying to be on my side, but she wasn't going to convince these giggling kids with just words.
"Yes, yes. I made a mistake. Laugh all you want. I deserve it."
My answer was calm and my smile confirmed what Zora said.
'Well, what was so difficult about repeating some unique words?'
But seeing them laugh was something much more pleasant.
'Friendship was also something I seemed to have forgotten… so, this was good in a way.'
On my answer that sounded like someone's excuse who got caught during something simple, a chuckle escaped from everyone, including Zora, and… all of them were once again mesmerised to see this succubus laugh so joyfully.
The two guys were red but there was also bliss in their eyes.
They were not normal people, and they knew when to draw a line when facing the impossible.
"Alright alright now."
After calming everyone down, we once again tried to get it right this time.
The highest scores were getting displayed on the giant glob at the front.
That thing was pretty cool, and this status window was a cool thing too.
"Connect origin server."
This time, we all said it at once and a golden light appeared on the windows before us.
'There was a reason that this thing was so important.'
There was something called [Statistical data] in this system window.
Stats representing the potential and talent of the mortals in a quantified manner with greatest possible accuracy was achieved through this system.
Just like what was appearing before us, results appeared on the front giant orb as well.
===Status Window===

============
"Wow... you sure are amazing, miss Miyu." Wisely complimented, as the first status window came out for us to see.
If what I understood was right, then this stat and potential things were almost accurate.
Their calculation criteria were also good and that thing was the currency used throughout this world as the principal currency.
The ability and skills it showed about others were also pretty much accurate.
'I didn't need the system to read the person, but they were the best for someone other than me to see.'
Talent and potential in terms of simplified things like mental and physical strength were good measurements.
Physical strength and endurance are pretty much over all the things like strength, agility, dexterity, health, and such.
Mental strength and endurance covered the intelligence, Mana, or other energy one held, and the limits that were set by their body and soul.
This was pretty much good for me and so, we just continued to watch, further ignoring the gasp-filled reactions from others.

Gennie was a genius and those things in skills, especially her unique ability to communicate with anyone intimately, were something really amazing.
She was born to be a summoner but, from the looks of it, she didn't know she had the talent for a tamer too.
Her confused face, and that confused expression, were a clear sign of her remembering something she didn't want to.
She was a fabulous summoner already but there was something she had lost.
"A tamer is not that different from a summoner, Gennie. You will become even better when you try it. And I know you already know that you had it."
I patted her head out of the blue and calmed her with my calming water vapor that stabilized her emotions.
"Thanks, Rian." She was surprised by the head pet but she thanked me with her warm smile and… we looked at the most awaited results among us.
"It's ok. Just believe in yourself." I comforted her and held my darling's hand.
There was actually no need to be anxious or anything.
She was far stronger than most people present here and she was going to get what she wanted with no problem at all.
"Yes. And I know you will be there." She smiled and kissed my cheeks, making the two poor souls blush pink once again.
Miyu gulped a mouthful of saliva as she looked at us while hiding her envy and thirst.
Gennie just chuckled, and then… Zo's status window finished the processing.

As soon as her screen appeared on the large globe at the front, audible gasps filled the surroundings…
