39 Once Again, Nice To Meet You!? (2/2)
”Sing!”
'Y-Yes!'
The video of the song started playing on the monitor.
The music started and I, no, we were ready to sing.
”Yes...
It is time to get romantic.
Time to get romantic, yes indeed, that's for sure
Da kick punch style remains very secure.
Never pending, always the first to make a move
This time we get down nice and smooth.
Love Kick
Love Punch
Love Duck
Love Turn
Love Chop
Love Twist
Love Pose
Love Hug
Smooth kick
Nice punch
Sweet chop
Love fight
Because I'm smooth, with a groove so new,
I wish everybody had the same point of view.
Meet me at the corner, pick you up at 7
Wear your best dress and I'll take you to heaven”
I kept singing while imagining all the scenes I remembered that involved 'Confession.'
”Hold Hands
Face to face
Get romantic
Let's get it on
Love style
You and me
Together forever
Never to part
Look up in the sky
See the stars?
I hold you tight
Lovers we are
I'm da sensei, you are my student,
But before that, you and I are friends.
We lean on each other, anyway we can,
We all need love, no matter woman or man.
Smoothe like butter
Caress your lover
Enjoy the moment
Won't last forever
Love punching
Soft *sniff* chopping
Sweet *hic* kicking-”
At that moment, I realized that my vision went blurry.
I stopped the song and switch seats again.
”… I got it - sniff - I got it already. I just have to tell you the truth right?”
She wiped her eyes before she threw the mic on the floor.
”I WANT TO LIVE!!”
”*Hic*I STILL WANT TO KEEP HAVING FUN!!”
”I STILL *Hic* STILL WANT TO MEET AKYUU!!”
”*sniff* I STILL WANT TO BE TOGETHER WITH MASTER!!”
”I STILL HAVEN'T DONE EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED!!”
'SAY IT!!'
”I WANT TO LIVE!!”
'LOUDER!'
”I WANT TO LIVE!!!”
'LOUDER!!'
”I DON'T WANT TO DISSAPEAR!!”
”AND THAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR!! SYSTEM!!” I immediately retook control.

[Are you sure about this, User? This will weaken you.]
”I DON'T CARE, JUST DO IT!”

'*hic*Master?'
”Nobody wants to disappear. If they say they're fine with it then there's a huge chance they are lying. That also includes you.”
'*sniff* I'm sorry.'
”For the record, I hate tragedies and sad things. So you better pay me back by staying happy and positive, do you understand?!”
'…yes.'
”I can't hear you!”
'Yes!'
”Good.”
After I said that, there were 3 things that I suddenly felt, sensed and saw at the same time.
1. Bara 'left' me.
2. Something appeared above me.
3. It fell toward me.
I caught it and immediately identified it as a human, an unconscious human girl, and someone I knew too.
[Lv.49 Gentle Flame, Bara Api]
She was fully clothed in her usual outfit and was smaller than I remembered.
That was probably because I turned back into Arah, but unfortunately my clothes did not change back too.
”That was really fast! And where's my 'suddenly naked girl appears in front of me' cliché?! I thought this was supposed to be the event flag that would trigger it!” I complained.
I felt something touch my cheek.
It was Bara's hand. She was smiling while looking at me.
”You really are a pervert, Master.” she said before going unconscious again.
”… She smiled, I guess that counts as a success.”
I left the Simulation room and put her to sleep inside my futon in my room
I changed my clothes to my regular outfit before going downstairs.
I sat down on the floor and started lamenting my failure.
I sighed.
”…I'm the worst.”
I tightened my fist.
”I should have just asked the system earlier and not waited for her decision at the last minute. 'Awesome' my ass, 'Piece of shit' probably suits me best. ”
I was disappointed with myself for letting that happen and I swore to myself never to let this kind of thing happen again in the future.

Author Note:
Heyo, author here. I'm sorry that the chapter feels like it rushed, because it's probably is. My shitty English knowledge probably the main cause of the issue, it limits my imagination and word choice in the chapter conversation, or I'm just bad with this stuff.
There will be no update for the next 2 weeks because I'm gonna be busy with work and final project. But when I come back, and as I promise, I will start making the continuation of the side story, but I only gonna make 2/3 chapters of it for now before going back to the main story.
1.9k word, committing seppuku right now.
About Arah Level conversion to Bara Level, it was because the higher level you are, the harder it is to keep leveling up, and the level system in this story is through how dangerous/powerful you are
