Chapter 10 - Decision (1/2)

Gulping down, she ask me.

”T-Then, what I should do, Lilith?”

Putting down my cup, I give her a serious look and trying to be blunt while smiling.

”You can reincarnate as devil and being taken care by me. Under my protection, you should able to protect yourself from a danger. By allowing you that, you would be my slave.”

”S-Slave…? And, devil… you're devil, Lilith?”

I just nod my head when she give me a look. Maybe she would think that I've already shows her my true color and personality, what kind of person I am to her and the real me. Saying thing like that isn't so easy and I'm already made a blunder by start the supernatural conversation. This is my mistake and I couldn't deny it, also there's no way in a chance that someone would agree about keeping it secret.

Although my [Luck] is maxed, there will a time when the system made a mistake and causing an error or malfunction. No system is perfect and I'm understand about what it said, it is a simple word and quote but has a deep and real meaning.

Reine-san must think through about this, although I don't mind if she suddenly decided to accept it. I'm a bit in a hurry of this since I'm have no [Peerage] members in my possession and can't rely on another [Peerage].

After all, I'm a noble. Pride is something I have, like onee-sama and it would embarrass me if I didn't have at least a single member of [Peerage]. Maybe that's what kind of thing I lack of, asides from skills and other. But sometime we have to swallow that pride to achieve something, like what onee-sama will do, to make sure herself is prepared and ready when Riser-san is coming in human world and greet her.

Only being alone even if I'm powerful in the near future isn't enough. Gains allies or companions is a must. One can't do everything alone, and can't ended up alone in the end, it will feels painful and sad to be left alone. Being alone isn't a good thing.

Even if I'm skilled and strong, without someone who accompany me, I'll surely weak and easily defeated.

But right now I have to patient, hopefully Reine-san would accept my offer and become my [Queen], although the possibility is low and it would need her a couple of days to deciding that—even if it supported by [Eroge System] and [Affection] also my maxed luck… I have a doubt it would be that easy.

But… if… if that can be easily happened, then I'm happy.

She let out a short sigh and look at me with doubtful eyes.

”Sorry, Lilith… I need to think about this. Maybe for a few days…”

As expected.

I give out a relief sigh and nodded at her words.

”I know and understand that. Take your time and please think about this. Also, please kept this with you and return it if you reject it.”

I give her my [Queen] piece and cast a protection barrier to her without she know. At very least, I want her to being safe when already made a contact with me, which is a devil member of Gremory family and pretty sure she will be targeted by someone; even thought she isn't devil yet.

If she is really a Spirit, then the probability of her being harmed by others will increased. Spirit are a rare and mysterious being in supernatural world after all, as we're don't know the full details of them yet. If only we can get more information about them, maybe it will be grant us some benefits in the future.

But no use to disappointed at it right now. As this time, I have to focus on gather members for my [Peerage] and start train my skills to increase my own strength. I still haven't come up with a special move like [Extinct The Ruin] of onii-sama's after all and I only able to copy it on my own benefit.

After that, we both then leave and give our number to able contact each other.

Actually, the [Evil Piece]'s pieces can be used at anyone, but to find the right and perfect match is requires it to glow like mine. My pieces glows with crimson color maybe because of the traits of our family, which is has a crimson color as our trademark. Even our magic symbol is dyed in crimson.

The brighter the glow, the perfect match of it and compability. It's also can make one known about the candidate strength. The brighter is also the stronger its candidate. When I saw my [Queen] piece reacted like that to Reine-san, I'm already knew that she is indeed powerful than Lavinia-nee.

It's not like I say that Lavinia-nee is weak, she's strong and can withstand anyone in Maou-level, but just that's it. Reine-san more powerful than that, maybe close to god and Spirit is a being that so powerful and feels like god by the records said.

I haven't see the real yet, so I can't say it for certain how powerful is it. It's just a rough guess based on the records I've found back then when still kid.

”Okay, let's identity about [Eroge System] for sure right now.”

As Reine-san already leave the café, I still there and trying to use my free time, I'm planning to check the [Eroge System] I have right now. What I want to know is about [Shop] feature. If what I think it's right, then it would provide me about anything that I can buy. Maybe it will have something like [Phoenix Tears]?

”[Shop]…”

When I say it, the list of items suddenly appeared in front of me. It's floating and transparent like always and full of items that can be bought and sold. Maybe I can sell any items that I have? It would be great if that's true though.

[Material] | [Equipment] | [Item] | [Weapon] | [Blueprint]

There's a five options floating and available for me right now when I'm opened the [Shop] feature. I don't know what kind of things inside it, so I have to check it one by one and must understand through of it. I can't waste any chance to become strong easily with this and made my love life became easier than ever.

Opening a conversation and talk with each other isn't that easy, but with [Eroge System], it's possible to made it. There's no need for me to think so deep and hard about it, the choice is always present and all I have to do is just follow it.

I knew it's like the system controlling me, but what can I do? I can't do anything as it convenient for me. Just take the benefit from it and stay sharp, don't let myself be fooled easily. Trying to be cautious is good and ignorance isn't a bliss for sometimes. That word isn't always true.

I'm currently look at the [Material] menu. There's a lot of materials to make something, especially for potions and… maybe it can even replace [Phoenix Tears] in terms of effiency and quality. After all [Phoenix Tears] is hard to obtain and not so cheap for everyone, it's expensive and usually made it so rare. That's why if someone had an ability or [Sacred Gear] that can heal anyone, it would be shocked the entire supernatural world.

Also, if it can heal devil, then it would be more shocked. Since devil can't be touched by holy magic or anything related to that, they have to depends on [Phoenix Tears] and healing is always related to holy and divine. Maybe not only devils, but other races too, but surely not human, angel, fallen angels, and so on.

After looking at the [Material], then I proceed at the next menu… which is [Equipment]. Honestly, I don't think it will be needed for me since if it to make my body protected and safe, I would only need to cover myself with my demonic energy—especially right now that I have mana and could use human magic.

But maybe I could buy and sell it to make a profit. I don't think it would look good on my appearance, since I care about that. Who would not care about their own appearance? It's important to take care of it and stay looking good. Also, since this is modern time, people wouldn't to wears something like armor or anything. They could make it into a simple yet good design that match with the era.

And next is [Item]. It's filled with goods that already being made. All of it something like [Health Potion], [Mana Potion], and many more. There's no restriction about who can be healed or used, it's mean its even can heal devils. I have to buys it when finished checks the menus. There's no need of [Phoenix Tears] if I have this. It's even have a potion to restoring demonic energy… [Mind Potion].

Is it because demonic energy similar to mind energy? I heard that mana is also the same with mind energy, but there's also said that mana is a liquid-like things that stored inside human body and could be unlocked when one capable to do it.

I will leave out the details for this later and focus on another.

Next is [Weapon]. It's obvious from what it said and displayed, it contain many weapons from different types. Something like sword, cane, polearm, staff, etc. And last is [Blueprint], the one that bug and made me curious, since it's means I can craft or make something based on blueprint I might have and this system provide me with this kind of thing.

If I had to think about it again, it's scary and frightening yet amazing and wonderful.

I'm gulped down with nervous. After all, what I posses is something that would change the entire world if it discovered and misused by someone. Maybe people who evil and bad in my opinion, they will trying to compete and do its best to get it by force.

I don't want that happen if someone able to do it.
