Eroge System

As we're trying to talk in a better place, because doing it in park is kind of stupid and doesn't seems comfortable, I suggest Reine-san to go at café. Why café? It sounds cliché since I already visit it with Raynare-san, but there's no better place to do casual talk beside in my house or her own house.

There is a lot of things I want to know about Reine-san, especially why her affection progressed faster like that. If I recall from onee-sama's otaku collection, is this something called deus ex machina? Where something can be resolved by unexpected and seemingly unlikely occurrence? If that's true, then it would be simplified to nonsense.

Deus ex machina also the name of the god of machine if translated literally. But at the current age, it would be suited for the term used by people who like fictional or something like that. Term like that always changing every time, even it's somehow became official thing and people commonly use that. The more people use it, the more it will be used to them, they would feels it familiar term and think it's the official term.

But that's that, no use to think to deep about it. I don't have to think seriously about that matter. It's not like it would cause near-death situation or threaten me in the near future. I doubt it would be happen. Silly me, just focus on the thing right now.

Also, I'd like to experiment more on the system, [Eroge System], about other features. I still not check about the [Shop]. Is there anything useful? I hope so, but if it represent the same function like an actual shop, then it would be filled with various items. I don't want to buy anything useless to me.

"Reine-san, I'm sorry if you didn't comfortable about the place we're going to."

She shake her head.

"No problem. As long isn't a shady and suspicious place, I would like…. Isn't something like that, right?"

"Of course not. I wouldn't want to lose a trust from you, which is my friend."

Her cheek suddenly red but still remain her poker face. It's makes me chuckled because it's kind of cute when seeing that, moreover how she can remain her poker face despite her cheek's condition right now. It's quite amazing if I would say.

"I know and that's why I want to trust you. After all, you're my very first friend."

This of course make me blinked at surprise and confused.

"Your very first friend? Is it because people keep ignore and avoid you because your hobby?"

She respond it with nod, which is true. I'm a bit sad when know that but as much as I want to, it's wrong to suddenly jump in. What is the word for it? Ah. Too hasty. Yeah, that one, I don't want to going like that.

But of course, this is one of interesting fact about Reine-san.

"Yeah, that and I'm always being told to be gloomy. Also, the fact that I'm not got at talk and form a communication with people is one of the factor. Communication is one thing that would make people closer and form a bound, that's the beginning of relationship and bond… I guess from the book that I've been read back then."

"You're also read other than myth-related?"

She nodded, which makes me amazed.

"That's amazing I guess. It's okay to do nothing, but if you don't act fast, it will be too late for you when realize it. People don't always wait and it's true fact, they tend to be hasty. They want something in instant. Including forming a relationship, but not for ending it."

Indeed. What I've said is based from my experience and observation. I'm not claiming to be knowledgeable about it, but at least I know a bit and not become clueless. If I remember it again, Hyoudou-senpai is the kind of guy who always clueless and not able to figure out something quickly.

Hearing what I've said, she look at me with awe and determined eyes. It seems she, who is look like in her late 20s, almost like a little girl who's so pure and innocent, doesn't know anything about around her. I wonder how her family and relatives doing in manage her live up until now.

"Thank you, Lilith. I would like to have more friends."

"Good but wary of suspicious and shady people who want to take an advantages of you. If someone ask you that they want to be your friend without knowing anything, then it's confirmed suspicious."

I sound like a hypocrite when says that. But better let it go for now.

Nonetheless, she nodded and understood about that. I bet she is kind of naïve and easy to be manipulated.

Nonono. That side of her must be fixed and improved, otherwise she would fall in the dark side and ended up bad. I don't want that kind of thing happened to her and because she also my new friend, I have to care and protect her.

Though… I don't know how powerful she is, because judging by her aura alone isn't accurate. If I have some skills that able to know every single thing or even the tiniest details about her, it would be useful—very useful. I wouldn't lie about that. Because knowing about someone information is can be considered powerful weapon.

As one said, "Information is such a dangerous weapon."… I'm can't lie about that. There's no wrong about the word. Sounds right. Although there's someone who doesn't agree at such fact and word. Especially the muscle-brain type, a person who only think with their muscle, their strength—solve everything with brute force.

"I'm sorry, Lilith. Although I'm the older one, you troubled yourself to give me such advice. It seems I'm not reliable enough…"

She's not wrong… from the first glance, she seems m.a.t.u.r.e enough and not unreliable type to me. Maybe people who saw her for the first time would thinking like that too.

But I just shook my head and waved.

"Nothing to worry. I'm happy to be able to help someone, especially you, because Reine-san is my friend."

She give me a widened smile and beamed. Look like what I said to her can affect her like this. I don't know well about her past but it's something I can't know yet. I do not want to betray her expectation and trust about me, step by step is a must but because of [Eroge System]… look like I could jump in or skip the necessary step and gave me the shortcut to make it easy.

Is that true, system?

[Answer: Host is right. [Eroge System] aid host and increase the chance to gain the target affection easily without a obstacle. Even if that person is start from 0 affection and has a stubborn personality or wost one, the system will make it easier for host to capture.]

[Answer: Host is right again. It's due to your bloodline ability, the heritage power from Gremory family.]

This of course made me interested. It's weird enough for me, who born into Gremory, but has [Power of Destruction]… the ability from Bael clan. I'm quite interested about it. What kind of power I posses? What is the ability of my clan?

If there's a way to know more about my clan's power, then I'd like to take that chance. With [Eroge System] which seems able to figure it out, then I'll not have a struggle with it.

Okay. Please tell me what ability that my clan possses.

[Answer: Certainly. Revealing… processing… done. Gremory's clan abilities already revealed at [Skills]. Please check it.]

When hear that, I immediately check it by mumbling 'Status'.

When the status windows shows up, I can see new skills from the [Skills]. I've gain [Clairvoyance] and [Affection]. Is that my, Gremory's clan, ability supposed to? I can know anything with [Clairvoyance] and what's [Affection]? Is it something that I knew from the past? If I recall, my parents told me about our history and the original Gremory's history too. The founder, the original Gremory, been said to have a power to revealing hidden treasures and answering about the past, present, and future—basically a gist of [Clairvoyance] and for [Affection], it might be the power of procuring love from women, especially of maidens.

If that's true, then why I never see onee-sama using it? Is it only possesed by a certain family members? From what I know too, father has many harem members and I assume it's also because the [Affection]. But why they didn't reveal any details about this power? As if our strength is only come from [Power of Destruction] alone.

As if [Power of Destruction] became our signature ability rather than have our own. It's like borrowed power than own and made us look like thief who steals Bael clan ability to claim it as ours.

[Power of Destruction] is as it said. It's can be considered powerful ability and I love to wield something like that. Also, I have a lot skills it seems and it will be need a lot of time to train them though. Like what someone said, "It's grinding time!". It's mean I have to spend a lot of time to developt my skills to certain levels and sometime it's hard to do that unless I have a free time.

But with my [Luck] status that's maxed, I shouldn't have any obstacle to train my skills.

"And here we are. It's nothing fancy but hope you like it, Reine-san."

I said that to her while we're already arrived at the place that we going. It's just a small restaurant and gladly it's not crowded, makes me relieved that this is not the busy hour for this place and I just casually greet the staffs because I've been acquintances with several of them, including the manager and owner of this restaurant.

Both of us then get seated and choose our menu. Indeed its price is expensive but my money isn't that small and I'm not really poor, I can afford it and my money will not run out so easily. That's why I treat Reine-san, to make her happy and win her heart too. Hoping she would be agreed to be my [Queen].

After done ordering, we continue our talk.

"It's amazing and beautiful, Lilith. I don't know that you can find a small and comforting restaurant like this."

"Is that so? Thank you and well… at least it's worth. Maybe sometimes we can hang out to find a place like this? And yeah, it's amazing and believe it, I'm also surprised when find this place."

She just chuckled, but then she look at me with worried look.

"But are you sure want to treat me, Lilith? The menu is so expensive and you're still student."

"No problem, after all you're my friend and I'm your first friend. Is that right?"

I gave her a small smile and made her slightly blush, which she respond with nod of her head. It's funny to see her blush face right now as she is people assumed to be poker-faced person, also it's amuse me to watch differents expression showed by her.

Although my intention to bring her here is to offer the [Queen]'s piece of my [Peerage] for her. But of course I'm not stupid enough to openly talk about it when she herself aren't aware of my true identity and race. She may think I'm a human… but maybe she a bit suspicious about me because at first she ask about my name…?

She then open up her mouth.

"But… this is my first time to be invited at restaurant with a friend. I'm a bit nervous… sorry."

But I just shook my head at what she said.

"Please, don't mind it and just act like you usually do. We're not currently in a business or formal situation after all. No need to act nervous."

"S-Sorry, I'm not used in this… even though it's only two of us."

Indeed, she's nervous but it's doesn't look like that at all. Fortunately I'm quite observant about anything around me and able to catch the glimpse about it. Noticing that it's not that hard, you know and I can easily spot something that changed, or anything.

I don't know how myself can be like that. Maybe that because what type of person I am.

A few minutes later our order is here and we then happily eat the foods we ordered. Reine-san is hesitated for a moment but I force her a bit to eat it without thinking too hard. I just says that she should eat or if she didn't want it, then I wouldn't mind but after that she happily eat. Maybe because she think it's impolite to didn't enjoy something that given by her for free.

Casting my [Hypnosis] at people inside the restaurant except to Reine-san and me, I placed an order to 'ignore about everything we both said' their minds and they immediately nodded and understood about that. With this I can open up and speak about the truth to Reine-san, not want to lie and if situation become worse, then I can easily erase her memories.

It's not uncommon seeing devils can doing something like that. Erasing memories is part of [Hypnosis] after all. Just put a suggestion to the target brain and told them to forget about the related memories. It's easy to do and not that hard, but it can became hard to someone who's stupid and can't understand a single bit of the process.

Someone who stupid enough and easily be deceived is an easy target. Also don't forget about weak mental resistant to [Hypnosis] or any mind magic.

Stopped eating for a bit, I then spoke.

"Reine-san, do you believe in supernatural?"

She stopped her hands when heard that and look at me.

"…I believe."

"Then, what if anything related to myth is actually real? Would you believe and comprehend that?"

She let out a heavy sigh and nodded.

"I'm already aware of that. If anything, my body is also strange. I… I don't even know who am I… which is the real me…? Somehow… a vivid vision appeared in my head."

This made me interested to her. She then continue when I nod my head and ensure that our situation is safe.

"Somehow I can hear a voice… constantly telling me. "I am you, you are myself…". It's like… someone invading my mind. I can't told that to people c.a.r.e.s.sly, but here… when you said that, I feel that… I can tell you."

A warm and relieved expression adore her face. As if the burden she bears suddenly gone.

"But… the voice also said this… "I and you are one, we are Spirit. The seeds already planted. Until we're meet our beloved fate again…". I can't understand what that's mean."

Spirit… don't tell me—!

What she have said made me suddenly realized.

I'm pretty sure hear the rumor about Spirit back then when still in Underworld. Spirit are extraordinary beings from a different dimension. They been said have power to rivals god, but all of that are just a rumor, even in Great War they aren't participate nor involved, they want to stay neutral and not support any side.

But recently I hear about mysterious murderer. Although I keep my best to ignore it and focus on my problem, it's not escaping from my ears range. Some students and people sometimes talk and discuss about it.

The investigating said it's… kind of like mass-murder. The victim aren't spared at all and brutally murdered, killed… only that. There's no corpse that left in the scene, it's gone and made the police hard to find the evidence but one thing that's matter—it's not something human could do.

Although I have thoughts that maybe devil or anything would be related to that, but spirit couldn't be ignored too. I'm almost forgot about it due the secrecy of their information and almost none, it's hard to find the full information about them.

So… Reine-san is a Spirit…. If my guess is right.

If that's true, then no wonder she feels powerful. Although she hid it pretty well and not let anyone easily detect it. Spirit are a powerful being that existed thousand years ago during Great War and the information about them isn't that much.

I just rub my temple and gave out a tired sigh.

"Reine-san, I think it's best if someone other than us not find out about this."

"Eh, why? I want to find out what I am… and what voice is that…"

But I shook my head, so much made her put on a sad face.

"If you carelessly tell anyone, then… your life might be in danger."

She suddenly pale when heard that from me. Which why I'm being serious right now but sooner or later, anyone would find out about it. It's up to her anyway and if she want, I would provide a protection. By reincarnate her as devil, she wouldn't be viewed as spirit but devil.
