That Damned System

"She's hugging me—

Oh my God, I can't take it anymore.

The system wasn't wrong. She's really attached.

Ah, can you let go, please? I think it's not the right time to do that...?"

She didn't refuse; instead, she gently pushed me away

I looked into her eyes—she was blushing.

But seriously, why was she hugging me?

And, more importantly… did she know my name?

That must mean she decrypted the copybook's content!

So tell me: what's on the copybook Who am I?! Where did I come from??!!

I was shaking her shoulders, but she was still flushed from the hug

"I won't tell you," she said with a cold stare.

"What? You'll simply not tell me?

Why?!"

"Don't be selfish with your level! You're weak..."

"Did you forget your bones at home?" she teased, but her expression returned to normal.

"You didn't even unlock Agility or Strength!"

"And telling you where she is? You'll get yourself in trouble... That place? You're still not ready to go there."

Then she whispered in a soft tone, "I won't let you get hurt."

Her head snapped to the side, arms crossed—I think she was pouting again.

Wait a minute... is Aquarine...

jealous!?

that thing in her 'refuses'

"At least tell me her name—or should I meet her?"

That thing in her 'refuses'...

I can't just tell her directly she's jealous I'm not 100% sure

"I can't tell you because... if I tell you everything, we may never see each other again."

She turned directly to me... Her eyes were sad—honest—

brightening like she might cry any moment.

"If I tell you everything, my mission will end,

and I'll be erased from the system forever."

"The System trapped me in the Liquidity... That's why you can summon me,

and I've never met humans like you."

Oh... That's why she's so attached—

she barely interacts with anyone.

I clenched my fists,

that damned System...

"That damned System... It toys with everyone..

and I know it's manipulating her. For its own sick pleasure."

My fists trembled ... the anger anger surged through me

Aquarine wasn't just trapped.. she was being played.

"I'm not sure I can promise anything in this mess, but...

I gripped her shimmering wrists.

Aquarine! I'll free you from this prison

even it costs only 2 more attempts i will use them wisely 

"R-Really?.." Her voice softened to a whisper, hands trembling against his.

"Come on, cheer up, Aqua!

I've seen more emotion from someone ordering water at a restaurant!"

"Thank you, Julian." A sob broke through "Thank you so much..."

Aqua returned slightly, and she was smiling. The breeze swept through—

"Julian..."

but suddenly...

"What? Aqua, why are you fading?!"

I opened the window to check what's going on—

...

...

"Nothing wrong?!"

"Wait a minute—

Julian, check the sun—it's rising!

"Oh... that means... "You can only appear at night?"

She's fading...

I can see her turning transparent—slightly—

...I can see the sun through her,

"Aqua, please—at least say something helpful

before you go!"

Join the Royal Guards...

you might find the answer...

Then she faded completely...

into shimmering air

you got to do it yourself Julian , find her..

find emily , i can't interfere , i will disobey the system then ...
