Divine Protection: The Pride System

Episode 02: Divine Protection: Pride System

In a meadow with a magnificent green color of grass that stretches as far as the eye can see.

As soon as he woke up, the teenager was confused by the situation.

He, who should have been 'dead', could still see and feel his body which should be impossible for him to feel anymore.

This place is beautiful, only, it has no signs of life anywhere, which makes the reeds goosebumps.

This made the teenager realize that he was now in a place he did not know.

“....”

However, even so, he remained calm in the face of this kind of situation.

His cold, apathetic face showed no signs of attraction.

But one thing caught his attention.

His dark eyes turned to one of the most conspicuous places in this place.

It was not far from its place, and humbly displayed its entity amidst this vast prairie.

At that very instant, 'he' greeted her with a soft and soft voice—

“Yeah, good morning~ What's your sleep good?”

He smiled, looking towards the teenager with a meaningful gaze.

When you see it more clearly, she is a girl— no, maybe a woman. He had a body that still looked young, just that, the mysterious aura he was emitting, making that definition unsuitable for him.

He sat in a white chair along with a table and a white umbrella decorated like a royal tea party.

On the table there are many snacks and also a unique set of tea tools.

The teapot had a purple blue hue and formed a beautiful rose pattern.

When I saw that.

The teenager's irises sharpened, focusing only on the white-haired girl sitting gracefully in her chair, while enjoying her tea on top of a special cup.

The girl smiled, with a strange feeling that made the teenager unable to turn away from her.

“What are you doing there? Come here, I have prepared a special seat just for you~”

Her voice was smooth, like the chanting of a holy fairy.

Her plain face was white, looking inhuman as she tilted her head and smiled like a blossoming flower petal.

The girl was too beautiful to be called a human, and too exaggerated to be called an angel.

Her seductive beauty was like a poisonous butterfly that could easily hypnotize others to touch her.

Her beauty was holy, like a sharp sword blade that still had not been scratched in the slightest.

Her silvery white hair looked so beautiful, to the point that no one dared to dirty it.

A beautiful image, making even God did not dare to forgive himself.

The lamp looked fragile, as the glaring eyes of its blue pupils that were as beautiful as the sky closed as if they were going to be closed for good.

A sincere compliment would be too arrogant, even for himself.

Her beauty was too generous to show him naturally.

Well, even so...

“... I have no reason to reject his invitation.”

“Please on enjoy~”

Without a hint of hesitation, the teenager sat down in the prepared chair, sipping tea as the girl brewed a cup of tea for him.

It is sweet, although not yet filled with sugar, the tea is too sweet to be enjoyed.

“How does it feel?”

“It... Delicious.”

“Thank God~ I'll pour it again if you want.”

“No, thank you.”

The teenager put his tea back into the base, and refused the girl's offer politely.

Mom once told me that I should be polite when dealing with a girl.

The reasoning was a bit surprising for a teenager like him.

He seemed to have calmed down a little to be able to recall the dark memories of the past.

A cold gust of wind blew through the hair of the two of them, which fascinated the teenager as the girl resuscitated her hair that was blown by the wind.

Then, while enjoying the tea with a gentle smile on her sweet face, the girl began her conversation.

“Alright, I think here I need to explain it to you, about why you can be here~”

The girl's eyes narrowed beautifully, as if she was looking for a cause by using her unfair beauty.

But, with an apathetic expression, the teenager only replied to her in a flat voice.

“Honestly, I still don't understand. So, I'd be very grateful if you explained it.”

The girl blinked her eyes, and sighed as she began her next words.

Starting from here, there was a slight change in her innocent speech voice. Every word he blurted out had a mysterious impression that made one doubt its existence.

“First, may I ask?”

“What?”

“What do you mean?”

“You know, most people who come here always vomit when they see me, or their brains go crazy and commit suicide.”

“It's silly.”

“How about you? Aren't you upset about being suddenly called to this place?”

Hearing that, the teenager tilted his head indifferently as he answered her.

“I have no reason to be angry.”

Mothers also often say to accept all reality, it is also one of the keys to happiness.

“So, I'm sorry for asking such an unimportant question.. However, it kind of interested me.”.

The teenager's eyebrows shot up, he lifted his gaze to look directly at the girl's blue eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, and asked in a cold voice.

“What do you mean?”

The girl replied with a gentle smile, and she naturally pulled her bangs, then said in peace.

“Death is the culmination of a form of happiness. I don't think I need to mention it anymore. But, the understanding you have has been beyond reason from a human.”

“So?”

“Therefore, I am very interested in you.”

The teenager frowned, trying to figure out the true meaning of those words.

“Can I take it as a statement of love?”

“Eh?”

Suddenly the girl's eyes widened, she did not consider what she was saying, and inadvertently said a sentence that brought about misunderstanding.

“Ma-I'm sorry!”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Once he realized his mistake, he immediately covered his face with his arm, and hurriedly turned his gaze in a different direction.

His face flushed, his cheeks blushed, he blushed in embarrassment, and tried hard to calm his mind.

“...?”

The teenager realized that something was wrong, so he casually stood up from his chair, leaned over, and pressed his hands against the girl.

“Ah, uh?!”

At the same time, the girl began to misbehave.

Her cheeks stiffened in redness as she looked at the teenager who had brought her face closer to her, making their lips almost kiss.

“Are you okay?”

Her feelings increased as she thought about how happy she was.

But, he tried to deny it—

“Let me alone!”

The girl brushed off the teenager's arm that touched her forehead.

Then, in a hurry he leaped out of his chair and curled up below to hide his turbulent feelings in his heart.

Covering her flushed cheeks with her small palms, she turned her back to the teenager, who was still confused by her suddenly changing behavior.

The teenager really did not understand what was happening, he tilted his head, and looked for the reason behind all this.

Mom once said that a girl's heart was hard to understand, it turned out to be true. I don't get it.

Recalling the teachings from his mother, the teenager scratched his cheek and looked for a way to escape the situation.

“By the way, come to think of it. I still don't know what your name is?”

It was a perfect diversion, but he still doubted his success.

Nervously, he waited for a response from the girl.

Time continued to pass, the girl was still silent, and the atmosphere was still in a protracted silence, making the time in that place seem to stop.

A moment later, after being silent for more than 10 seconds, the girl stood up, turned her gaze again towards the teenager, and said while trying to hide her embarrassment.

“Na-My name is Pandora, Pandora Or'l Happiness. You are free to call me by what name.”

The teenager's eyebrows shot up, but after that, he smiled and said.

“That's a great name... Pandora.”

Hearing this, Pandora finally lifted her gaze, trying to see the look on the teenager's face.

His eyes widened, as if he could not believe what he was hearing.

Then—

“My name is Rogant, Night Rogant. You are also free to call me by what name.”

As a result, the relationship between the two of them grew closer.

But.

No one will think about it...

—That this will all end up being the worst regret!
