Volume 4, Chapter 82 – Don’t Cry

Heavenly Father passed away.

After entrusting his last wishes to Michael, he left amid the anguished cries of the angels.

As befitted a Throne-tier existence above Legendary, Heavenly Father’s body remained perfectly preserved. Michael, who had inherited Heavenly Father’s long-cherished wish, was preparing to take him back and lay him to rest beside his wife who had passed away many years before.

When she learned of her father’s death, Lucifa was also plunged into utter grief.

She had even wanted at one point to hand the power of Pride over to Tianyin.

Yet under Tianyin’s persuasion, Lucifa finally calmed down.

However, although she was calm emotionally on the surface, in reality Lucifa’s mood stayed heavy for a very long time.

Yeah.

Only now, thinking back, did Tianyin suddenly realize that after everything that had happened, she had never actually saved the catgirl.

“So that means I got screwed over by that damned System?”

She was a bit resentful in her heart, but facts were facts.

After all, if the System did not come to her, even if Tianyin was angry, she would have no way to vent that anger at it.

Because the System showed up far too rarely…

A few days later, after she had finished consoling Lucifa, whose mood was still as low as ever, Tianyin belatedly noticed this point.

“Oh my, oh my, I had just been wanting to see Xiaoyin, and you were already muttering about me? Honestly, that is so embarrassing~”

Just as Tianyin was mumbling to herself, the world that had been full of life in her field of vision fell into silence in an instant.

And right in front of her, a large glowing orb of light appeared, floating there.

Yes, just as that voice had said, this big orb of light was exactly the existence Tianyin had just been muttering about, the one called 【System Light Orb】.

“You! You actually still have the nerve to show up in front of me!!!”

The instant she saw the System Light Orb before her eyes, Tianyin reacted with explosive intensity.

Not only did her expression fully convey her “joy” at the System Light Orb’s arrival, her words were also packed with deep and powerful emotion.

Yeah, all of it negative.

“Well, things like that don’t really matter. Anyway, putting that aside, Xiaoyin actually brought Pride back. That really was beyond my expectations~”

The newly appeared System Light Orb brushed right past Tianyin’s venting. Without answering or acknowledging the resentment in her tone, it directly shifted the topic to Lucifa, who held the power of Pride.

Of course, after everything she had gone through, Tianyin was not that dumb anymore. The moment the System used its topic-shifting trick, she sharply picked up on its intent to change the subject.

“Hmph, planning to change the subject, are you? Hmph. Not happening. Since you are here, System, hurry up and explain to me why I brought back the power of Pride yet still could not save Sister Yeluo? Is this actually my own problem, or were you, System, just stringing me along?”

Tianyin’s tone was aggressive. Even facing the mysterious System Light Orb that might very well be her own creator, she did not show the slightest fear.

What she had was only the rage rising from deep inside, born from being deceived by the System.

“Well, no need to get so worked up. Actually, just like you asked, the fact that you did not save that catgirl really was not my problem~”

Facing Tianyin’s question, the System Light Orb fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

“Huh?”

After hearing that answer, Tianyin not only failed to understand what the System meant, she actually felt even angrier.

“So you are saying it was my fault???”

“Mm, mm, it was your own fault, Xiaoyin~”

As if wanting its words to sound more convincing, the System Light Orb answered Tianyin with an utterly certain tone.

“You! You might as well just say you were lying to me about all of this. You actually just thought it was fun and deliberately messed with me, right?!”

“Pfft, Xiaoyin, why would you think that? I can vouch for it with my System personality. I absolutely, absolutely never had any intention of tricking you~”

Facing Tianyin’s doubt, the System directly used its own name as a guarantee.

But in Tianyin’s eyes, that kind of guarantee with zero credibility was nothing but quibbling.

“Hmph, you think I am still going to choose to believe your nonsense now? Be honest. What was your real goal in tricking me into luring Lucifa back here!?”

“Mm, alright. Since you put it that way, Xiaoyin, I guess I will be honest~”

What surprised Tianyin was that the System, who just a moment ago had been insisting it was not at fault and that the responsibility was hers, suddenly admitted its mistake so straightforwardly.

She had no idea what this suddenly backpedaling System was up to, but Tianyin felt she should at least listen to how it meant to explain things…

“Mm, actually the reason is very straightforward. Lucifa is an adorable loli, and you, Xiaoyin, are also an adorable loli.”

“So I was thinking, if more lolis were together, would things not be even more full of love?”

To be honest, although the System’s explanation was hard to listen to, it at least made sense on a purely logical level.

But if the System really was thinking along those lines…

“That is it?”

Fighting to hold back the anger in her heart, Tianyin’s eyes were full of the urge to beat it up.

“Yeah, that is it~”

“You… you you I, I”

After hearing the System’s words, Tianyin was so mad she could barely get a word out.

Even her speech started to get tangled.

“alright, alright, don’t be mad. If you keep being mad you will not be cute anymore~”

Seeing how especially angry Tianyin was, the System Light Orb still did not forget to kindly comfort her.

For some reason, the more she thought about it the angrier she felt, until in the end Tianyin’s anger brought a sheen of tears to her eyes.

“Eh, eh, eh don’t be mad. Actually I was just joking earlier. Mm, it was just a joke~”

When it saw that Tianyin had actually ended up crying from anger, the System, feeling it had gone a bit too far, finally became honest.

However, after hearing the System say it had just been joking, the fire of anger in Tianyin’s heart instantly turned into a feeling of grievance.

“You, you actually lied to me!!! Wuu lied to me!”

“Wait, wait, wait, don’t cry. What are you crying for… I, I was only joking, just joking!”

“Joking? So you used me and Lucifa as props for your loli joke?”

After hearing the System’s words, Tianyin felt even more wronged.

After all, she had been talking so seriously with the System, saying so much, and it turned out the System had only been joking with her?

“Really, it really was a joke… Wait, do not cry anymore.”

Seeing the crying Tianyin, the System Light Orb lost its composure in front of her for the first time.
