I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

But after a week of getting along, Ekalos also figured out the system's personality through daily interactions.

And they also regarded each other as friends.

Ikaros is a very smart child. Especially after awakening her memories of her past life, she understood that some things are better not to be explored.

But when it comes to his friends, Ikaros can't control his emotions and impulses even if he wants to.

She knew that her heart was sick and twisted, and her emotions were abnormal.

But... as long as someone is considered a friend by Ikaros, there is a possibility that he or she will escape from Ikaros' control and betray Ikaros.

Ikaros felt as if his heart was filled with sea water, heavy, bitter, and depressing, as if countless needles were piercing his heart and stirring it. The darkness that was constantly accumulating and growing took root in his heart, making Ikaros feel that his mental state was constantly getting worse.

Although on the surface she was no different from usual, in fact, Ekalos realized that the frequently appearing little loli was the system.

On the way back, she rubbed her hair and fingers for more than ten minutes, and then she almost dropped the fruit platter several times because she was unsteady and the fruit was ruined.

She was prone to overthinking, but there was nothing she could do...

After being picked up from the battlefield, I'm lucky enough to have recovered my sanity. What else can I ask for?

I clearly know that this idea, this way of thinking, and this emotion are wrong.

But Ikaros had no way to control herself and could only use disguise to prevent others from noticing her abnormality.

That's why she wanted to talk to the system at this moment, to prevent herself from suppressing herself for too long and suddenly doing something bad one day.

Ikaros... He is the kind of person who can suppress himself for a period of time, then put a knife across his neck in front of the person he loves and question the other person with empty eyes.

It is enough to recall the past once.

At the moment, Ikaros just wants to cherish his ordinary and warm daily life.

Therefore, the girl hoped that the system could give her an explanation, even if it was just an excuse or a lie. After all, Ikaros knew that she had no right to blame the system...

The system looked at Ikaros, who appeared indifferent on the surface but was struggling twistedly inside.

It was originally a little panicked, but it also felt a little guilty.

Because it was indeed its own problem that it had not explained it to Ikaros in advance, it was also aware of Ikaros' psychological problems, but it ignored this because of the girl's normal behavior on a daily basis.

Thinking about it this way, the system felt that this wave was even more of its own problem.

Coupled with certain information hidden under the nature of 'simulation', the system feels even more like it is nothing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you in advance. It's my fault."

"As compensation, I can give you the 'heartless' trait in the mall as compensation. This is the biggest compensation I can give you at the moment. I am powerless to give you anything else."

"If this doesn't make you not angry, then, then I can only let you punish me..."

After torturing himself, the system did not use a pop-up window to communicate with Ikaros this time, but directly appeared in front of Ikaros in the posture of a little girl, kneeling. The pitiful look with her head down, coupled with her perfect and lovely face, made people feel pity.

"..."

But Ikaros just looked at the familiar figure in silence, and the soft white bare feet stepped on the other's shoulders, which eased the negative thoughts that kept growing in her heart.

Chapter 74 Trauma from the Past

And this silence lasted for a long, long time.

Until the swaying branches outside the house stopped talking, and the bright stars in the sky gathered in the dark night under the urging of the night.

Ikaros, who was standing silently on the system's shoulder, slowly spoke after some psychological preparation:

"You don't need this, System."

"After all, I already consider you my friend, but I also hope that this kind of thing won't happen again, okay?"

She doesn't like situations where things and friends are out of her control.

Even though he knew that he had no right to treat the system that brought him power and convenience in this way, he also knew that he had no right to secretly restrict the freedom of his "friend" in the name of "for her good".

But Ikaros's experience on that battlefield had already made her heart sick.

But she also knew that this was wrong.

So under this contradictory ideological conflict, Ikaros has learned to deceive and reconcile himself.

Therefore, after the system gave the explanation and the final statement, she was actually easing her own emotions. And now, after saying this, the emptiness and twisted emotions in Ekalos' heart have been sorted out by herself.

This powerful ability to sort out emotions was something that Ekalos had already mastered before he awakened his memories of his past life.

Otherwise, before Arturo was expelled from Lateran, Ikaros felt that he would have been expelled and fallen from heaven for harming his own people.

The system carefully raised its head and looked at Ekalos, who had somehow adjusted his emotions and returned to his usual state. It was a little surprised and stunned at first.

But even though the system didn't know why Ikaros was able to adjust himself so quickly.

But she also knew that now was her best chance to gain Ikaros' forgiveness, so the system quickly spoke up and assured her:

"Okay! Host! I promise there won't be a next time!"

"Your compensation will also be delivered. Please forgive me for my disrespect this time."

After all, it was me who forgot to tell Ekaros in advance, and I was actually the biggest beneficiary of this date voucher.

Therefore, facing the situation that he could get Ekalos' forgiveness at the moment, the system naturally made a firm guarantee.

At the same time, he silently decided in his heart that he must find an opportunity to compensate his host in the future, and then try to see if he can heal the psychological trauma left by his host.

After Ekalos received the system's assurance, the girl heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party was sincerely apologizing and making assurances.

The negative emotions and messy thoughts surging in my heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"hope so."

Ikaros looked deeply at the system, and then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said,

"By the way, I feel uncomfortable calling you system, system all the time."

"Do you have another name? I think it's not appropriate for me to continue calling you the system now that you're like this, right?"

After all, it now has the appearance of a human being, and Ikaros feels that it would be a bit strange if he continues to call it a system.

"Hmm..." However, Ikaros' question stumped the system, because the system basically did not have its own name, only its own number.

"Don't you have a name? Then do you mind if I give you one? System."

The embarrassment in the system's eyes was apparent. It was also within Ekalos's expectation that the system did not have a name of its own, so she asked the system as she had anticipated this.

There was a hint of expectation in a pair of light golden eyes.

After all, Ikaros felt it would be fun to name the system.

And now, after what happened just now, she and Xi Hengtong really need to do something else to ease the relationship between the two sides, right?

"Uh... I don't mind, but are you serious, host?" The system looked at Ekaros with some expectation in his eyes and scratched its head, not quite understanding Ekaros's meaningless behavior.

The name is just a code name in the eyes of the system, or in other words, "Villain Female Lead Development System" is the name of the system.

The system has never considered giving itself a human name.

She didn't think it was necessary, but if Ikaros wanted to give her a name, she wouldn't mind.

"Well, I will call you Ena from now on. What do you think of this name?" Seeing the system's statement, Ekalos retracted his bare feet from the system's shoulders, and then knelt in front of the system, lowering his head slightly and looking at the black-haired loli who was a head shorter than him.

"Ena? Yes, you can, host."

The system...or rather, Ena looked at Ikaros who was much closer to her, although for some reason she felt a little regretful about the departure of those soft, white little feet.

But she was quite satisfied with the name that Ekaros came up with. It was obvious that Ekaros had put a lot of thought into it, so Ena also smiled lovely and nodded to accept the name.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Ena instead of System. If there's anything you want to eat or somewhere you want to go, you can tell me. I never show favoritism to my friends."

Seeing Ena's cute smile, Ikaros also smiled gently, and the negative emotions accumulated deep in his heart were reduced a little. He reached out and touched the soft and smooth head of the loli in front of him.

I really felt a lot more relaxed.

As expected, as long as we confirm the fact that we have become friends, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Ikaros smiled from the bottom of his heart, thinking so, and then looking at the late sky, he spoke again:

"It's getting late, Ena, do you want to sleep with me tonight? Or do you plan to go back to the system space?"

"Me? ... As for me, I'd better go back to the system space. After all, I have some things to do there. By the way, I thought you were going to compensate me, so I'll leave first."

Faced with Ikaros' invitation, Ena thought about it for a moment and chose to return to her own system space without hesitation.

What a joke. She still feels a little guilty towards Ekalos. After all, she has a host with some flaws and psychological problems in his character, although it was not Ena's intention to conceal the effect of the prop.

But Ena didn't think she was doing anything wrong by not deliberately hiding it.

She was well aware of the impact her actions had on Ikaros' already unstable mental state.

I also clearly knew from Ekaros's subsequent behavior how much psychological preparation he had put in in order to talk to me nicely and maintain our relationship.

So how could Ena have the nerve to ask for anything further at this moment?

What she should consider is making a proper apology, and there are indeed things she needs to deal with in the simulator.

Seeing that Ena rejected his proposal, Ekalos did not say anything more. He just reminded her to get enough rest. After Ena returned to the system space, he returned to his bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

During this time, Ekalos did not forget to check if Arturo and Luciana had kicked off the quilt when he woke up.

And this night, which seemed no different from any other night, passed quietly.

It was as if the surface was calm, but there were actually undercurrents surging all week.

Chapter 75 The third simulation starts!!!

The following week was no different from the previous days, except that Ikaros had to digest more energy at night and there was one more person cooking for him.

The girl's daily life is still trivial and warm, the streets of Lateran are still prosperous and peaceful, the school curriculum is still concise and concise, and Arturo's concerts are still always a success with the help of Icarus.

After Luciana finished her work, Marcello, who had taken leave to go home and take care of her, took her home to recuperate.

It can be said that Ikaros's week was still spent under the warm sunshine in plain warmth and fulfilling happiness.

However, Ikaros obviously did not know that in other parts of Terra, the changes she had brought about had quietly begun to affect the land.

It will also soon affect her who is still unaware of all this.

It was another beautiful morning. The gentle sunlight pried open the girl's beautiful eyelashes, waking Icarus from his dream and causing the cute girl on the bed to moan and squirm like a kitten.

Finally, with a stretch, he woke up completely from the soft big bed.

"Woo~ Good morning, Ena, can we start the simulation again today?"

Rubbing his still sleepy and moist eyes, Ikaros looked at the date on the calendar beside the bed. After saying hello to the system, he got up, washed and took care of himself while asking about the third simulation.

[This is the host. The simulation has been refreshed. Do you want to start the third simulation now? ]

Ena looked at Ekalos who was washing in the bathroom in the system space and gave a direct answer.

"Wait a moment, I'll go eat first. There's no rush for the simulation today." After confirming that the simulation was refreshed, Ikaros spit out the strawberry-flavored foam in his mouth and wiped his face with a towel, not rushing.

After all, Arturo would most likely not come to see her today because of some things.

Ikaros himself had no plans for today.

Therefore, it is not impossible to postpone the simulation for a while.

At least until Ikaros has breakfast.

[No, host, just call me during the simulation.] Ena had no objection.

When Ekalos saw this, he hummed a cheerful tune, put on his shoes and socks, and went to the kitchen. He put on an apron and prepared his breakfast, but he didn't know that at the same time in Giallo's house, a letter was quietly delivered to the mailbox.

Arturo, who was about to go out, brought it to his mother who was lying in bed and recovering from her injuries.

In the distant Dayan, the once-in-a-century gathering of the Fragment Sect is about to begin under Shu's connection and planning, and will soon make a sharp explosion sound from the Simuitai of Dayan.

But as the root cause of all this, what is Miss Ikaros doing at this moment?

She... is now feeding breakfast to Ena, who was dragged out of the system space by her persistent means.

After all, little Ena made Icarus involuntarily recall the former Arturo.

The girl used to feed Arturo often, but now that they have both grown up, such intimate behavior has become a beautiful memory of the past.
