'Girlfriend Kisser?'
'Are you fucking kidding me, Saya?'
{I am not the one who is doing this.}
'Then, who is?'
'System Infinite?'
{Most probably. He set the Auto-Mode on me, the Blind Wives module, and now it is giving you everything on its own.}
'Auto Mode?' I asked as Ella kept kissing me.
"Mhmmm..."
Her lips are so soft and wet, and she keeps on using her tongue.
'Oh, fuck! What am I thinking?'
{Auto-Mode is a mode in which the system module, which is me, decides everything on its own. Well, with a time limit of course, because it is still in beta stages.}
'Huh?'
{But I can still interfere and stop it. But, not this time. Why don't we get the most out of the situation when it has already happened? And I think I know why she is acting like this.}
'Really? But why is she acting like this? Did her skill cause this?'
{No, it is because the system had reversed the effect of the skill 'Seduce'. And I think because of that her confusion had turned into something else.}
'Something else?'
{Yeah. You can see it with No Name through your right eye.}
'Ok.'
I closed my left eye and focused on my right eye's vision but...
NOTHING...
'It isn't working, Saya. Have you deactivated the function?'
{No, I didn't. Maybe Auto Mode has. I will activate it for some seconds for you.}
'Okay.' I said and my right eye started to show me the details.
—
Ella's current mood:
Extremely Happy
More details are forwarded to the system's screen.
—
Then a blue screen appeared before me and my right eye went back to normal.
—
Ella has loved you for a long time. She just never got the courage to confess, she would peek at you when you didn't notice, and her heart would beat like crazy.
She was happy just being by your side, and was content with it.
But now, because of the effect of the reversed Seduce, she is more clear about her feelings.
She is confident now, and is ready to express her love for you.
Her mind has become stronger and more confident, and is able to resist the effects of the skill, but at the same time, it is also the cause of the changes in her.
—
'So, because of the effects of the skill, she had a change of heart and became bold and confident?'
'So, that is why she kissed me and confessed in front of our families and is still kissing me even though we have spent too much time talking?'
'And now, she is very happy?'
{Yes, I think so. The system has made her bold and confident. But, also the fact that her brother is dead must be playing a role in this, I think.}
'So, what is this? Should I just enjoy her kiss, or should I break away from her, and...?'
"Ella!" Her father, Mr. Dune's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and Ella's eyes snapped open, and her gaze moved toward the direction where the others were standing.
She slowly broke away from me and turned around, "Father, mother."
"Ella, what are you doing! What is happening here?" Mr. Dune asked.
'Well, I guess he is more confused than angry. And, as expected, the others are just stunned, and have their mouths hanging open, except for Yoonhe who is blushing and averting her gaze.'
"Ella?"
Ella's mother, Mrs. Dune's voice snapped Ella out of her thoughts, and her head whipped towards her mother.
"Mother."
"Answer the question. What are you doing?" Mr. Dune asked, his voice was stern and loud.
'Oh, great. Now he is getting angry.'
'But, I need to say something. I need to say something before things get worse.'
I stepped forward, and Ella's attention turned towards me, "Rael?"
'Here goes nothing.'
"Umm..."
My father, his wife, and his daughters, I mean my mother and sisters, and Jake's parents looked at me.
"Can someone please tell me what is going on here? What are those things?" Mr. Dune asked, his voice was louder, and harsher, "And what were you two doing just now?"
"Uhh..." I didn't know what to say.
What should I say?
How should I start?
And, why are they staring at me like that?
Is it because I am a boy so all of them are thinking that I am the one who is at fault?
Well, that's how our society is.
Anyway, what should I say?
"Rael?"
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ella.
"Hmmm...?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ella asked.
'I wish I could. But, I have no idea what to say.'
"Ella, I have had enough of this. Tell me what is happening, and why were you kissing Rael?"
'Oh, shit! They are starting to shout, and things are getting worse.'
Now, they are more worried about Ella kissing me than Jake's death.
"Ella, answer the question." Mr. Dune's voice was sharp and piercing.
'Oh, fuck. He is really pissed.'
"Uhhh...umm..." Ella was stammering, she was struggling to find words to speak.
"Well?"
'Oh, come on. The system said her mind had gotten stronger. So, why is she stammering like this? Why isn't she saying anything?'
"Ella, I am asking you, and I am expecting an answer. I am waiting. Say something." Her father was shouting at her.
"Father, it is..."
'Oh, great. Finally, she has started to talk.'
'Now, everything will be fine.'
"I love Rael."
'What?!'
'What the hell are you talking about?'
'Why would you say something like that, Ella? And now, things are even more worse.'
"Huh?" Mr. Dune blinked, his eyes wide, and his jaw dropped.
'Shit! He looks angry. Oh, fuck. And, why aren't the others saying anything? Why are they standing there, watching this scene, stunned?'
'Are they shocked by the events, or are they shocked that a daughter of their friend has kissed their son and confessed to him? Or maybe, they are just waiting for something, or they have no idea what to say and do in a situation like this?'
"What is she saying, Rael?" My father asked, and my mother, sisters, and Jake's parents turned to me, and their gaze fell on me.
Meanwhile, Yoonhe was standing in the back, her gaze downwards, listening to the whole conversation.
She wasn't the type to get angry or someone who would shout and scream, but still, the way she was behaving...
'She is angry.'
'No, not angry. More like, sad or maybe disappointed. It seems like she is hurt and in pain.'
'She must have misunderstood.'
'But, how can I make her understand?'
"Ella, what do you mean, dear? What do you mean, you love him?"
"Father, I love him. That is all. We are in love with each other. Now, what are you going to do, lock me in a room and keep me there forever? What are you going to do? What can you do?"
'Oh, shit!'
'This is getting worse.'
"What is the matter with you, Ella? Why are you behaving like this?"
"Nothing. Nothing. I am behaving exactly the way I am supposed to."
'Oh, no. This isn't good. This isn't good at all.'
"I am in love, father. That is all."
"But he is five years younger than you." Ella's mother finally spoke.
"I don't care, mother. I don't care about his age."
"What?" Ella's mother exclaimed, her voice was loud and full of surprise.
"Are you saying I can't be with him, and should marry someone whom I don't love? If yes, then, I will kill myself."
'Shit! Now, things have really gone out of hand.'
And what is up with this filmy scene?
{Yeah, it feels like I am watching a romantic movie. Where the rich father is against the girl marrying the poor guy. And the girl says, if not him, then no one shall marry me. And after a lot of drama, the father gives them his blessings.}
'Well, at least we will have a happy ending. Right?'
'And the situation would also be quite normal compared to ours where an apocalypse is going on but there is no monster attacking us.'
{That is because of Ella. Her aura is keeping most of the monster away. Otherwise, you guys would be fighting with countless monsters coming your way.}
'So, why is that?'
'Why is her aura keeping the monsters away?'
{Because she is S+ Rank, and her aura is so strong that the monsters don't dare to come near her. She is their natural enemy, so they avoid her like a plague.}
'Oh, thank god we have her.'
Just as I finished thanking God for blessing me with Ella, a system alert rang out in my head.
Ding!
