Chapter 48: Rebecca’s System (Part-2) (2/2)
Because of this poison, no one can come close to her, let alone like or love her.
“But then, how do you gain life points to survive?” I ask, a little confused.
“About that… I told you that people who already like me and also don’t have ill intent for me in their minds can enter the barrier freely, right?
“Actually, there is a list of people inside my system who are allowed to enter inside the barrier and I gain points through their help. Well, Aria is one of them and I gain most of my points through her. I also work at a restaurant where some of my close childhood friends are my colleagues. And well, I am somehow living off like this,” She tells me.
Damn… It must be really tough and saddening for Rebecca. I cannot even imagine living if every other person I meet is disgusted by me and hate me…
Rebecca is really a strong woman.
Suddenly, a little pleasant smile forms on Rebecca’s face and she looks at me fondly.
“And now, you are added to the list of people who likes me and don’t have any I’ll intent towards me. That is, you are my special person now,” she says.
I feel my face getting hot.
“Hey! Wait for a second. You won’t be giving any points to my sister! Me and her friends are enough!” Aria says angrily.
“And anyway, now that I think about it, how did you even break through her barrier, huh? It is impossible for someone— Aaaah”
CRACK
Aria stops speaking as a small cracking sound comes out of nowhere… making all of us jump.
“The anti-magic barrier is broken…” Rebecca announces, recovering first.
“Well, can you not deploy it again?” I ask curiously.
“No… not for some time,” she says.
Damn… I wanted to ask a few more things. I think there is…
Wait a second!
Rebecca just told me about her system, right? Maybe I can also tell someone about mine inside this anti-magic barrier!
I should ask if I can do that…
“Hey, Rebecca, do you know—”
“You still haven’t told us—”
BRRRRR
Me and Aria start to speak at once but are cut off by this sudden doorbell.
……
Fuck! Does anyone know how to murder a doorbell?
“Who is here at this time? Were your friends going to come, Aria?” Rebecca asks.
“No… We didn’t make any plans like that. And I have strictly told them to call me before coming to my house. Anyway, I will look who it is…”Aria answers while getting up from the bed.
Quickly, she leaves the room and we hear the sound of her climbing down the stairs.
Hmm… Why am I having this strange sort of feeling?
“Jacob, I am feeling a bit weird. I think we should see who it is…” Rebecca says with a concerned face.
Rebecca as well!?
Hmm…
I give Rebecca a simple nod.
She gets up from the bed and we both leave the room together.
The design of Rebecca’s house is such that the front door is visible from the stairs if you look to your left and there is a window (from which I got in) directly in front of the stairs.
And true to this, me and Rebecca see the front door just after we climb down a few steps.
And… standing there with an utterly shocked face is Aria…
And along with her…
“YOU! What are you doing here!?” I say loudly in shock.
