Divine Protection: The Pride System

Episode 07: The Girl Who Is Terpenes

Good things do not always continue, after defeating all the wolves, Rogant just walk around the forest, looking for a place to rest.

It's good he got a goa, which is suitable for temporary rest.

But, more than that, now he had discovered a different matter.

“Sial, I have no food.”

Hands were placed on his stomach, stroking gently as a grumbling sound approached him.

The grievances his stomach made were proof of his hunger, since he was wasting time with the wolf, the night had come.

He did not have time to look for something he could eat and drink.

Going out at night was a careless choice, although he could still see, he did not recognize the surroundings. It was quite dangerous, so he decided to continue his journey tomorrow.

As luck would have it, he managed to make a fire, which became his only companion.

A red flame blazes, illuminating the darkness with its dancing light.

There was the sound of broken wood burning, playing the beautiful sound of the quiet of the night.

As Rogant daydreamed in his posthumous thoughts, another voice approached him.

[Has Master forgotten me? If the Master is in trouble with food and drink, I can help.]

Surprised by the voice coming straight from his head, Rogant frowned unhappily, but his expression immediately softened as soon as he sighed.

—It was the Pride System, his other friend.

Replying to his voice, Rogant said in a slightly confused voice.

“Can you help me, Pride-chan?”

[Sure! Master is very lucky, this is your only privilege. Inside your >Status<, there is a function called >Shop System<, which is specially created by Pandora-sama for you!]

Hearing the name “Pandora” come out, Rogant's lips formed a sad smile.

However, he decided to close his eyes, and answered the Pride System's enthusiastic words with a gentle smile.

“You keep saying strange things all the time. Though you said something about >Status< or >Shop System< or whatever it was. I still don't understand everything, can you explain it?”

[Umm, well, I guess that's what's going to happen... Alright. Master, please do as I say. Try to say “Open Status” in your heart.]

“Hmm, what's the point?”

[Master will know after trying it.]

“I understand.”

Doing as the Pride System commanded, Rogant closed his eyes, trying to focus as the voice said.

There is no good detail with what he should be “focus”, but somehow Rogant managed to do it.

In a calm mind and heart, he said in his mind.

Open... Status

[Alright. Master, now you can open your eyes.]

Rogant opened his eyes, slowly and slowly, trying to enjoy his calm heart for as long as possible.

However, it did not last long, once he saw what was in front of him, his eyes opened wide in shock.

“It..”.

Rogant frowned, looking confused in his expression. So, Pride System answered him enthusiastically, like a child who was showing off his valuables.

[This is your >Status<, Master!]

What was in front of him was a transparent square-shaped slab, which had a deep blue color with writings showing his personal information.

It looks like a screen board from a smart phone he's seen in the world before.

There contains—

Looking at his status board, Rogant was slightly surprised, his eyebrows raised.

“It's like a game.”

[Oh, does Master understand? That's good, so I don't have to explain it anymore. Has the Master ever played a game before?]

“You mean in the world there?”

[Well.]

“I don't think I've only ever seen my friend play it.”

[Why isn't the Master coming?]

“Because my mother forbade me. He said that it is not good for health.”

[Master has a strict mother.]

Rogant did not respond to the words Pride System, and focused back on the screen in front of him.

As he paid more attention to it, he frowned doubtfully, and asked the Pride System about the thing that made him curious.

“By the way, isn't my status board a little weird? Why is there writing that cannot be known?”

Rogant refers to >StatusIt is certainly confusing, although it cannot be said he is an expert in the game.At least, Rogant understands that it is something strange to get a question mark inside his status board.“What is this error?”[I don't think so.]“A taste? Don't you know about this either?”Hearing Rogant's question, Pride System sounded sad and apologized.[I'm sorry. I don't even know what really happened. I have some speculation about this, but I still can't find the truth.]“I see, it's okay. I understand.”[Sorry me.]Although already forgiven, Rogant can still feel the feeling of Pride System is still disappointed. He felt very guilty about himself.Rogant did not know what to do. But, for now, he will do whatever he can to ease the atmosphere.“Umm, by the way, I'm so hungry, why don't we eat first? You said something about >Shop System<'kan before. Can you teach me how to wear it?”Rogant asked, with a thin smile that had little sympathy in his warm kindness.Perhaps less effective to lower the sadness of the Pride System, but this is all Rogant can do.He is not good at comforting someone.Well, however, this is all he can do, in his case—He was only smart in making someone angry at him.[I'm sorry. Master's right, you're already very hungry. So, as an apology, please let me help Master to make food.]“Well, please.”[Then I will try.]Even if he doesn't know if he's successful or not. To be sure, they went through their night together without anything happening.

This is certainly confusing, although it cannot be said that he is an expert in the game.

At least, Rogant understood that it was strange to get a question mark on his status board.

“What is this error?”

[I don't think so.]

“Taste? Don't you know about this either?”

Hearing Rogant's question, Pride System sounded sad and apologized.

[I'm sorry. I don't even know what really happened. I have some speculation about this, but I still can't find out the truth.]

“So, it's okay. I understand.”

[I'm sorry.]

Although already forgiven, Rogant can still feel the feeling of Pride System is still disappointed. He felt very guilty about himself.

Rogant doesn't know what to do. But, for now, he would do whatever he could to ease the atmosphere.

“Umm, by the way, I'm so hungry, why don't we eat first? You said something about >Shop System<'kan before. Can you teach me how to wear it?”

Rogant asked, with a faint smile that had little sympathy in his warm kindness.

It may be less effective to lower the sadness of the Pride System, but this is all Rogant can do.

He is not good at entertaining people.

Well, anyway, in his case—

He was only clever at making someone angry at him.

[I'm sorry. Master's right, you're already very hungry. So, as an apology, please let me help Master to make a meal.]

“Yah, please.”

[Then I will try.]

Even if he doesn't know if he's successful or not. To be sure, they went through their night together without anything happening.
