Chapter 245. Checking Favorability Through the System.
Yasenia and the others walked around the armory. After asking the guards, they learned that they could even buy swords and other weapons inside the building. Therefore, they stayed for one more hour, searching for good weapons. However, after observing them, neither of them found a suitable piece of equipment, so they quickly lost interest.
After leaving the building, Yasenia asked, looking at the Waning Moon in the sky, "Do you girls want to continue? We've been going from challenge to challenge these last two days, and we've already entered the third day. Even though we had a small rest, maybe relaxing for a while would be nice."
Sarah said, "I would like to sleep, to be honest. After fighting a lot during these days, I've become tired."
"I don't care. Although I'm surprised, I still feel energetic enough to continue." Said Kali.
Angel grabbed Yasenia's hand and said with a happy smile, "I will do whatever Yasenia does! I'm not tired, but I also wouldn't mind sleeping with you~."
Yasenia patted her and thought for a moment about what to do. "We aren't in a hurry, to be honest. However, since Kali and Angel are still energetic, we can move around."
Sarah said nervously, "I can still go on!"
Yasenia laughed and said, "Let me finish what I was about to say. First, let's find a place to sleep. We will leave you resting there. Meanwhile, the three of us can look around and plan a route to follow. After we know the total amount of Monoliths and their challenges, we can each find the most suitable one for each of us. That way, we can gain Trial Points faster."
Sarah asked to make sure, "Will you come back to get me after I rest?"
Yasenia nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not going to disappear suddenly."
After Sarah accepted Yasenia's arrangements, they went to an inn and bought a room for Sarah to stay in. It was very cheap since the room had just a bed and a table.
Yasenia asked Angel to create a protection formation in Sarah's room to avoid problems. Sarah was touched by Yasenia's thoughtfulness and looked at her with a tender gaze. Yasenia looked back at her as if she didn't realize it and smiled. After getting to an agreement on where to meet, Yasenia left with Angel and Kali.
When Yasenia left with the others, Sarah let her body fall on the bed and sighed. She felt tension she hadn't been aware of leaving her body. Sarah muttered while looking at the wooden ceiling, "This was more exhausting than I thought. Too much has happened during these days..."
After doing nothing for ten minutes and relaxing, she asked the system, her voice somewhat lazy. "I think we are making progress in our relationship. What do you think, system?"
[Host. I can't read Yasenia's feelings, but I can feel that the other two have a better opinion of you after these two days. You have won some Shop Points thanks to this.]
Sarah realized, "Right! How had their favorability changed? I remember I can only check once per week. This should be a good time to check it."
[Host. The changes are as follows.]
[Ding! Angel's favorability has increased a single point! 10 Shop Points.]
[Ding! Angel's favorability has increased a single point! 10 Shop Points.]
...
[Ding! Angel's favorability has increased a single point! 10 Shop Points.]
After that message popped up eight times, the system told her the current total favourability.
[Congratulations! Angel favorability is now at -42]
Sarah was completely stunned, "Isn't the points out of 100? How can it be negative!? This is my first time hearing that it can go negative!"
[Host. Your starting favorability was -50, so it is quite a big improvement.]
Sarah asked, "Does she hate me?"
[Host. Her current feelings aren't those of hate.]
"Then why are the points negative?"
[Host. It should be because she felt your intentions toward Yasenia. Although Angel seems like a sweet, cute, naive, and happy-go-lucky woman, she is very intelligent.]
Sarah nodded, a little dazed. "What about Kali?"
[Ding! Kali's favorability has increased a single point! 250 Shop Points.]
Sarah was speechless, "That's it!? Why are her points so valuable!?"
[Host. Kali's current favorability is at -74. Work hard!]
"Even if you cheer me with that monotonous tone, I won't feel better!"
Sarah asked again, "So? Why are her points much more valuable than Angel's?"
[Host. Kali's heart is extremely adverse to strangers. I'm unable to comprehend how Yasenia was able to charm her. If I had to calculate your chances of beginning a romance with the current her, ignoring her feelings for Yasenia, they would have been only 17.199% with my assistance.]
Sarah asked, "Just for curiosity. What about taking into account Yasenia?"
[0.167%]
Sarah was speechless. After five minutes, she asked again. "What about my chances of seducing Angel?"
[Without the interference of Yasenia and not considering Angel's feelings toward Yasenia, the chances would have been 71.654%. Including Angel's current feelings, the chances are 3.981%. Finally, with Yasenia's interference, the chances are unknown, but I can assume that they would be infinitely close to zero.]
Sarah was surprised at the initial 70% value. "It was that high?"
[Host. Considering you have my, the "Harem Goddess System's" assistance. They are honestly somewhat low.]
Sarah nodded. Then, she asked, a little apprehensive. "What about Yasenia's favorability?"
[Ding! Ya?e?ia'? f?vora?ili?y has ?e???ed a s?n??? p??nt!]
[Ding! Ya?e?ia'? f?vora?ili?y has ?e???ed a s?n??? p??nt!]
…
[Ding! Ya?e?ia'? f?vora?ili?y has ?e???ed a s?n??? p??nt!]
[Ya?e?ia'? current f?vora?ili?y is ????]
"AHH!!" Sarah held her head and released a painful scream. Accompanied by the messages, she heard unbearable screeching noises as if there was someone clawing the blackboard right inside her brain.
Her head felt like it was about to burst, and she couldn't understand a single word nor letter from the messages. There was even some blood flowing down her nose. While crying in pain, Sarah shouted, "Stop! SYSTEM, I SAID STOP!"
However, as if the system couldn't hear her, the messages repeated seventy-one times until they stopped. The pain was so bad that her body was limp on the bed, soaked in cold sweat. Sarah laid there limp for ten minutes. Then, she slowly stood up in silence and staggered toward the bath.
After summering herself in the water, her body seemed to wake up and recover. Sarah's voice was monotonous as she asked, "Why didn't you stop? I thought I was about to die."
[Host. I told you I couldn't read her favorability. Remember that I'm programmed to follow your every order. Please don't make me do that again. I felt my very existence flickering in and out of existence. Even if I wanted to stop after hearing your command, I couldn't.]
Sarah didn't answer and remained in the bath in silence for another hour. Then, she dried herself and fell limp on the bed, falling asleep right after.
Meanwhile, Yasenia, Angel, and Kali were walking around the city, hand in hand. They spoke about random topics and commented on the wide streets and buildings, comparing their architecture to the one at home.
Kali suddenly asked, "Yasenia, do we have to have Sarah with us? I can feel her intentions toward you clearly, and she is very suspicious. I honestly don't like her presence. It doesn't feel natural."
Yasenia asked, intrigued, "She doesn't feel natural? What do you mean?"
Kali frowned and said, "Thanks to my bloodline awakening and constitution, my connection with the life attribute has greatly deepened. Therefore, I can tell how much a creature has lived if their strength is near my own. However, when I look at Sarah, it feels like she had been alive for just a little more than one month."
Yasenia was surprised, "That's not possible. No matter how talented, genius, or even if a senior reincarnated. It is impossible for someone to reach maturity, both in mind and body plus advancing to the eighth level of the Mental Nourishing realm, in just a month."
Kali sighed, "That's why I'm asking you if we have to continue being with her. She is too strange. The words she uses, her thought pattern, and her moral values. After speaking with her for two days, everything feels extremely foreign."
Yasenia thought for a moment and said, "I also feel the same. The questions she asks occasionally make her appear as if she had just recently interacted with the cultivation world. However, although her intentions are certainly not pure, she also has quite a pure heart. I don't want to leave her because she has some problems. I feel like I am leaving a defenseless child on the roadside because they showed a strange phenomenon."
Yasenia said, scratching her cheek, "I will let her be with us for a while longer. I want to teach her a bit of the cultivation world before we separate and each goes our way."
Yasenia then reassured her, "However, the moment she shows signs of being dangerous for us, we will leave her right away. What do you think, honey?"
Kali looked at Yasenia through her veil and sighed with a smile, "Sure, let's keep her beside us for a while more. I should have known that you would answer something like that. If you weren't like that, how would I have been able to become your wife?"
Angel said with a little whine, "But we won't be able to be intimate with her around…."
Yasenia smiled seductively and whispered to Angel. "Did my baby already forget what happened two nights ago~?" Angel's cheeks gained a rosy color.
Then, Yasenia's eyes flashed with pink light as her voice tingled Angel's hearing sense a little more. "Wouldn't you love being heard by her while I pound you silly~? Your moans spilling from the walls as she hears you scream my name. The sound of our flesh hitting together becoming strong enough for her to hear." Angel's face was becoming redder by the second.
Yasenia finished her by biting her ear softly. "Do you think I don't feel how tight you become when I have sex with you in front of the others? Your little fetish, I've known for a long time~."
Angel blushed crimson and almost fainted in embarrassment and arousal. The current Yasenia's seductiveness was so high that even the passerby that could not hear them felt aroused.
Kali, who was listening from the side, blushed almost as deeply as Angel. Yasenia looked at both of them and chuckled like a seductive spirit. "Come with me~."
Yasenia dragged them toward another inn, different from the one Sarah was currently resting in, and asked for an isolated room. After paying for it, Yasenia dragged the two fidgeting women toward it.
