Against the Inevitable Destiny

Chapter 47 - Emergency Mission

“Master, you better quickly check your status.”

Seres' voice was heard in my mind.

To be honest, he's a little annoying to my romantic mood. Is she jealous or what? It seems that I should treat her as a woman from now on.

“Please Seres not at a time like this. Are you jealous because Maya kissed me?”

I tease my system? Looks like that to you? Well, it's like that. After all I cannot refuse to tease a system that has a soft voice like an obedient wife.

“Hmp, I'm not jealous. I'm just a system.”

Seres said with annoyance.

I could imagine that she was puffing her cheeks to look cute.

But, for some reason, in my shadow I saw a beautiful woman who looked like a queen, sitting on a throne and trying to look cute. That's a good view in my opinion.

"Is that so? But why does your tone sound like you're jealous."

I keep teasing my system. I think it's fun to tease her like this. Well I would think of teasing her every day.

"I didn't. Anyway I won't care about you anymore."

[Seres could not be reached at this time ]

He's completely different than I imagined. He looked more like a living creature.

“Really, strange system.”

I muttered.

“You said something?”

Maya said to me who had said something slowly.

"No. I just said you were so beautiful. I'm so lucky to feel a kiss from a beautiful woman like you."

“Sweet mouth.”

Maya pinched my cheeks gently then chuckled at my words. But the previously soft pinch turned harder until finally.

“Aduh.”

He pinched me hard. I thought he was joking with me, but he wasn't. From his expression he seemed to be startled by something.

“It hurts. Why are you pinching me like that?”

I said while rubbing my cheeks a few times.: But before Maya answered, a hologram screen appeared in front of me.

[Emergency Mission: Exterminating Eternite ]

[ Rank: A ]

[ Prize : 1,000 Experience Points + 100,000 Store Coins ]

[Failure: 5 percent of the population of Yozora City was killed ]

I was quite surprised by the mission that suddenly came. I don't care about the reward, the failure of this mission is quite frightening.

‘What do you mean that a quarter of the city's population will be killed? And where can I find Eternite?’

I said confusedly and with disbelief.

(Badump)

Suddenly, I felt a strange aura.

It came from quite a distance away, but it was also close enough to get here within an hour.

I've felt this feeling before. It was when I saw Eternite for the first time.

If my feelings are right, this is a very bad situation.

“Riyu...”.

It seems that Maya already sensed Eternite's existence earlier than me. It's not strange because he's Ruler.

He seemed to know that I also felt it after my expression turned serious.

“I know.”

I nodded my head, confirming that I also sensed Eternite's existence.

”Maya, please stay here, protect the residents of the city. If any Eternite gets away I'll hand it to you.”

I said to Maya

“No, I'll come.”

Maya said firmly.

He seems to be worried about me.

Well, it is indeed natural considering that this is the first time I will fight with Eternite.

Although I often do it in simulations, but the atmosphere of simulation and reality will be different.

But bringing Maya is impossible. It's not that I'm worried about him, after all he's strong enough to kill those monsters easily. There's another reason why I couldn't bring Maya.

"That's impossible. Don't forget that they can feel your presence. It's risky if you fight near a crack. Your energy might leak out and be felt by them."

Maya is strong, in terms of strength she can be at S+ level and it is in her still sealed condition.

However, to fight he had limitations. If he expended too much of his energy, he could make the other Ruler feel his existence.

And if that happened, another Ruler could have come to earth and tried to kill him because he was considered a traitor.

There was also another thing that could bring his existence to light, which was when he fought close enough to the center of the crack. After all, the center of the crack was the link between monsters and the earth.

“I can fight without using my Energy.”

Maya didn't give up on coming with me.

I honestly feel a warm feeling. But it would be very dangerous if he fought without his energy. So it's really impossible to take him.

“It remains impossible. Your way of fighting is not suitable without using your energy. So stay in the city, I'll go alone.”

Maya could only bite her lips in response. She was heavy enough to let Ryu go.

“It's okay. The chances of that crack are quite small. Probably the same as in the news. After all I've been training for quite a while, it's time to feel the battle head-on.”

In order not to make her worry, I explained that it was likely a small crack so that I handled it easily.

I also told him that I had trained hard and it was time to have a real experience.

Of course for the first sentence, it was a lie. I felt that it was no ordinary crack.

“....”

Maya did not answer.

He seems to be really worried about me. He was very reluctant to let me go alone.

But I have to get going. It would be very risky to let that crack continue to exist. Besides, the mission of the system really worries me.

‘Is this how you reply to my jokes?’

I said to my system

[I don't know what you're talking about. Besides, I've been reminded to check your status]

I don't know what's going on, but the system seems to be getting bolder. He still seems to be angry because I teased him.

‘Sigh.”

I could only sigh at accepting my fate.

Back to the real world.

“Maya.”

I said quietly, persuading him to let me go.

"OKAY. But don't push yourself too hard. Go when you can't handle it. It's okay if that monster comes to town, I can handle it."

I smiled hearing his words. I went to the front and kissed her lips. He didn't fight back, instead he returned my kiss. It only lasted for a moment as the situation was in a hurry.

"Not to worry. I still want to marry you in the future.."

“Good.”

Maya smiled at my answer.

I turned around to go to the center of the crack.

Although it was limited, I could at least use my space energy to get there faster.

{Seeing that Riyu is gone, Maya just gazes at the direction Riyu is heading, which is a forest with enough trees.}

“Please return safely, Little Riyu.”
