I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

[Shu..., Ikaros, you seem to be in a bad mood now, is it because of the simulation? ]

At this time, Ena, who had finished the simulation and fulfilled her duties, looked at Ekalos's somewhat melancholy application, and subconsciously asked with some doubts and worries in Ekalos' mind.

When Ikaros heard this, he did not hide it. He sighed, nodded and admitted it.

"Well, the ending of this simulation makes me a little sad. After all, gentle people can't have a happy ending. As expected, even in the simulation, this land is still so cruel."

As he spoke, Ikaros seemed to remember something, and a hint of reminiscence flashed across the girl's pale golden eyes, but it was fleeting, so Ena didn't notice it.

[Hmm... Although I don't quite understand, Ikaros, you have to remember that reality is reality, and simulation is simulation. Everything in the simulation is fake in the end, so you must not be unhappy just because something bad happened in the simulation! ]

Eina saw that Ikaros said confusing words, although she didn't understand what her host had experienced that led her to conclude that this land was still cruel.

But she still simply hopes that her host can be happy, rather than being overly sad because of the false simulation.

And Ena's caring words indeed succeeded in comforting Ekalos, causing the girl's originally somewhat melancholy face to involuntarily reveal a faint smile. After all, it feels really good to be cared for by others.

The helpless sadness and regret in my heart also dissipated a lot.

"Haha, that's right. After all, no matter what the outcome is, a simulation is just a simulation after all."

With a slight smile, Ikaros, who was sitting on the bed, relaxed his body and fell on his soft big bed. He glanced at the morning light that visited him through the window, recalled how he was distracted by the simulated ending, and shook his head slightly.

She felt that she was indeed too sentimental and actually felt sad and regretful because of the simulated ending written in words.

But after seeing that the simulated rewards were still very rich, the last melancholy and sadness in Ikaros' heart were completely replaced by joy. After all, nothing can make you more excited than becoming stronger and gaining more power.

However, compared to those people with great ambitions, Eyakalos' world is very small, so small that it can only accommodate the people she cares about and loves, and she will only use this power to protect the people she cares about.

As for other things, such as the future of Terra, the survival of the world, the treatment of Originium disease, etc.

Ikaros didn't care.

As long as it doesn't directly affect her and Arturo's daily life and hurt the people around her, Ekalos never cares.

On the contrary, if someone really touches the red line and reverse scale of this part.

Even Ikaros, who once had no power, could do everything he could to retaliate through his weak Originium skills, not to mention Ikaros who is now becoming increasingly powerful.

Unlike a false simulation.

Although the 'Ikaros' in this simulation had no power and nothing to protect, he was constantly losing.

But in reality, Ikaros, who possesses power, will never allow himself to lose anything.

Ikaros will definitely protect everything he loves, even if it means blaspheming the gods, he will not be afraid and will not hesitate.

And after confirming this point in your heart.

The touch between simulation and reality completely disappeared from Ekalos' heart. Apart from the emotion, what was left was probably just a little bit of pity.

In short, the theory that simulation is simulation and reality is reality was once again solidified in Ikaros' mind.

The girl gradually came to believe it.

However, it was destined that Ikaros, who held such thoughts and attitudes, would suffer a lot in his journey in the near future.

But of course, Ikaros knows nothing about this right now.

Chapter 116 Ikaros: There has never been such a wonderful start!

In short, after Ikaros once again recognized and strengthened the difference between simulation and reality, and firmly believed in it in his heart.

The silver-haired girl then turned her attention to the final reward of this simulation.

As soon as he saw the final reward of this simulation, a lovely and joyful smile appeared on Ekalos' face.

Especially the three rewards of the Originium Skills being strengthened once again, the newly acquired talents, and the fragments of the nascent power without side effects. Ekaros even happily shook his white little feet, which were illuminated by the morning light in a warm orange-yellow color, complementing the snow-white skin, making people's appetite whet. One look at it and you know it will be delicious when paired with white silk (ˉ﹃ˉ)...

Ahem, anyway, Ikaros was very satisfied with the rewards of this simulation.

Needless to say, the two rewards that directly strengthen oneself, whether it is the enhancement of Ikaros's Originium skills or the reproduction of newborn power fragments, are the power that can help Ikaros gain a foothold in this land and protect the people around him who care about.

Although that talent seemed to be very useless, to Ekaros it was in some ways even more tempting than the newly born power fragments.

Without her, Icarus was not really worried about her relationship with Arturo, she just simply hoped that Arturo could stick to her a little more.

It is best to be so attached to yourself that no matter what you do, you will think of yourself first.

It can be said that Ikaros had always been working hard in this direction, and the talent rewarded to him by the simulation is undoubtedly a timely help!

It will definitely help Ekaros achieve his goals better.

As for whether Ikaros's goal is a little strange...

Haha, I can only say that as Arturo’s lifelong good friend, it is normal for Icarus to have such thoughts, right?

After all, it's a lifetime~, although a lifetime is never a heavy emotion, but now that it has been said, then we have to do it, this is what should be done between good friends.

At least that's what Ikaros saw.

[It seems that the simulated reward makes you very happy, Ekaros.] Noticing the visible joy on Ekaros's cute little face, Ena glanced at the pair of white bare feet shining in the morning light, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Obviously infected by Ikaros' joy.

She had been a little worried about Ikaros's disappointment at the simulated ending, but now her mood had completely calmed down.

As expected, Ena said that as the host of a top student like herself, her own host must not be an ordinary person either.

Look, she just simply emphasized it, and Ekaros, her host, adjusted his state.

And Ikaros has such a good mentality.

Eina felt as if she had seen the future where Ikaros would become an invincible bucket after 114514 simulations, become the Sword God of Shilipu in the Holy City of Lateran, and then roam Terra, defeating all those who disobeyed him, and then bully men and women and live a carefree and beautiful future!

By then, she would probably be able to return home in glory after completing the training of Ikaros, becoming a rising star in the eyes of the princes, heading towards the future and success, breaking the curse of her bloodline, right? !

To be honest, although Ena was reluctant to part with Ekalos at that time, she was so excited that she trembled all over when she thought about such a future.

Besides, who can be sure about the future?

So it’s okay to fantasize about a better life in the future…

"Yes, and I think there should be no one in this land who does not want to gain more power." Responding to Eina's words, Ikaros, who was in a good mood, smiled and sat up from the soft big bed with a "hey".

It is a well-known truth that weakness is the original sin of the Terra continent, so strength is particularly important in such a world.

[…That’s right. Please keep up the good work in the next simulation, Ekaros.]

Thinking of the chaotic Terra continent where Ekaros lived, with demons dancing wildly and heroes gathering together, Ena completely understood why Ekaros was happy, and she also seriously encouraged her host.

After all, if you don't have some strength, you really can't survive in Terra, even in Lateran, which seems to be the most peaceful.

"Well, that's natural. I'll have to trouble you again in the future, little Ena."

In response to the system's words of encouragement, Ikaros sat up from the bed and walked barefoot on the smooth floor. He smiled and responded softly to Ena, then walked to his closet in a happy mood, humming Rutland's folk songs, intending to take off his nightgown and then pick out another piece of clothing to put on.

After finishing the simulation, Ekalos will start to consider finding Arturo to replenish his Arturo energy.

Therefore, girls naturally need to dress up well.

After choosing the white dress and white tights she would wear today, Ekalos began to take off her nightgown.

[Yeah, remember to check the system mall later. There are new props refreshed. I will record this simulation first. ]

Seeing that Ekalos was preparing to take off her nightgown without any hesitation, Ena mentioned the refreshed goods in the system mall, and then found an excuse to avoid her.

Although Ena had seen Ikaros wearing stockings, changing clothes, and taking a bath many times before due to various coincidences.

But because Ena did not have a human body at that time, she had no other thoughts except admiring her host's perfect figure that was like a Sarkaz, as if all the Laterans owed her two buckets of breasts. All she had was appreciation for beauty.

But after she acquired a human body because of that item... Ena found herself becoming a little strange.

Especially after the night when Ikaros's soft and warm little feet stepped on her shoulders and finally became her "lifelong" friend.

Ena found that she could no longer face Ikaros as calmly as she once did.

For example, now, seeing the perfect curves, white and smooth skin, and jade-like skin exposed after Ekaros took off his nightgown, Ena's face unconsciously turned red. Looking at the smooth lines, she felt inexplicably astringent...

No, wait, why am I still watching this? Didn’t I mean to avoid it? What’s going on?!

The next moment, Ena felt something was wrong. She realized that she was still looking at Ekalos subconsciously for some reason, and instinctively covered her eyes with her hands.

But the gap between the fingers is so tight that it is no exaggeration to say that it is like trying to cover up one's own faults.

Well, Ena admitted that she was still a little interested in watching Ekaros change clothes. Of course, it was definitely not that Ena had any bad intentions. She just wanted to appreciate the beauty of her host like she did before!

Well! That's it, I just appreciate the beauty! I don't want to see anything!

Suggesting to herself in her heart, Ena just watched Ikaros's back silently through the gap between her hands covering her eyes, witnessing the whole process of the girl taking off her nightgown and changing into a white dress and white pantyhose.

Every time the delicate and soft skin touched the fabric of the clothes, the tension and slight tremors of the skin were all seen by Ena, who had extremely keen observation skills, and her face became redder and redder.

As a result, after Ekalos changed his clothes, Ena felt that her CPU was about to burn out.

There is no way, after all, Ikaros is really too beautiful, with a good figure, and her temperament also has a contrasting sense of youth and vitality of a young girl combined with a hint of motherhood.

Coupled with the affection Ena had for Ikaros that had accumulated over the past few weeks, it can only be said that Ena felt that she really couldn't bear it. After watching Ikaros change clothes, she decisively chose to go to work to maintain the simulator in order to relieve her restless and shy heart at the moment.

At the same time, Ena inexplicably felt a sense of guilt towards Ekalos.

After all, my host trusts me so much and treats me so well, but I, as the system operator, secretly watch the host change clothes even when the host verbally hints that I will avoid him!

Myself, myself...Alas, I am really nothing!

There must not be a next time! Ena! You are a top student! Don't let your blood sway your loyalty to Ekaros!!!

Feeling indignant in her heart, Ena silently swore in her heart that there would never be a next time. Otherwise, as a system, how could she be worthy of Ekaros' trust in her?

You must never let your desires defeat your reason! ! ! !

After Ena had made up her mind, she blushed and began to move inside the system space. She obviously wanted to use this to completely calm her restless and shy heart, and secretly express her regret to Ekaros...

And in the girl's boudoir.

Realizing that the sight belonging to Ena had disappeared, Ekaros unconsciously raised the corners of his lips into a slightly wicked smile.

It seems that Ena is still very shy~

If it was Arturo, she wouldn't be shy about changing her clothes. Is she a little unaccustomed to it? It's really cute, just like Arturo back then.

Ikaros was adjusting the wrinkles of her skirt, and as she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile secretly. Fortunately, Ena had cut herself off from the outside world because of her shyness, otherwise she would have noticed Ikaros' smile.

Ekalos was fully aware that Ena had been peeking at him just now.

The reason was very simple, that was Ena's gaze was too direct and passionate.

It is really hard for a young girl who has struggled and survived for many years in a war-torn zone not to notice the good in that look.

Although the peaceful environment of Rutland can easily make people lose their vigilance.

But this instinct that has been forced into our bones by the environment cannot be changed by a few years of peace.

This is actually one of the few wishes of Ikaros' friends.

After all, being very sensitive to anyone's gaze, whether kind or malicious, Ikaros would instinctively remember the gaze and expression everyone showed when they first saw him.

This will create an inherent impression of this person when you meet him or her for the first time.

At the same time, because Ikaros's charm is among the top in all of Terra, both men and women can easily lose control and subconsciously look at places they shouldn't look at, revealing inappropriate desires when they see Ikaros for the first time.

These are actually very normal in daily friendships. After all, many times the relationship between people starts from the body and ends with the soul.

The values ​​and qualities of most of the Sakota are influenced by the environment and can be regarded as moral role models on the land of Terra without being a fun-loving person. Therefore, they can basically retract their gaze in time, control their desires and vision, and are willing to apologize to Ekalos.

Ikaros generally doesn't deliberately make things difficult for others. He will basically forgive them with a gentle smile, indicating that he doesn't really care.

But being friends or something like that is basically no longer possible from this moment on.

So apart from Arturo and Ena, who are friends recognized by Ekalos, Federico can be considered half a friend of Ekalos because of Arturo's relationship and years of getting along with each other.

Therefore, Ena's almost unobstructed gaze could not escape Ikaros's keen senses.

But she doesn't mind.

After all, not to mention that Ena had accidentally hit her several times before.

The relationship between the host and the system alone is closer and more solid than most relationships in the world.

In addition, Ikaros has already considered Ena as his friend, and the two are of the same gender.
