" Breaking News: A large-scale terrorist attack occurred at the central plaza of the Comprehensive District. According to victims, it sounded like the wailing of Avici. "
Jean, who was lying on the bed in its room playing on its phone after a long time, saw this news notification.
"As expected of that Um-monster, if Sister Shiraori hadn't taken me to escape, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The blue platform used for escaping is a teleportation device used throughout the city, with only two restrictions: it requires having been to the destination before and a fee.
However, apart from that, one can move freely throughout the city, and if it is a place one has not been to, one can be taken there by someone else.
The destination of this teleportation was the upper level of the White Giant Tower.
This is the upper level of the upper district, physically separated even from the middle section of the Giant Tower; the only means of leaving are flying or the teleportation device.
It is necessary to explain that all three Giant Towers are divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The Black Giant Tower in the Deep District is the entrance and exit for trials inside the Reincarnation Space for the middle and lower levels, while the upper level is the entrance and exit for external missions, which is the location where Jean returned.
The Silver Giant Tower in the Comprehensive District is a residential area; the higher the floor, the better the environment, and the top floor is the residence of the city representative for this term.
The White Giant Tower in the Upper District is used for administrative affairs and high-end entertainment in its middle and lower levels. The entire Reincarnation World also serves as an open platform, and its business policies include a large number of footholds or vacation areas for beings from beyond the world, which is the function of the entire Upper District.
The upper level of the White Giant Tower where Jean is located contains a large number of interface ports, which are specifically provided for the connections to personal spaces for those related to the world creators, and this naturally includes Jean.
"That Rome really dares to sing in public. Even though it was just beaten up by that V, it clearly hasn't learned its lesson." Shiraori was taking Jean's clothes out one by one on the side. Originally, Jean was going to help, but after seeing the bunny girl outfit, it pretended not to see it and lay on the bed looking at its phone, terrified that the outfit might be brought up.
Sneaking a glance, Shiraori smiled as it put the bunny girl outfit inside. Just when Jean thought this matter had been smoothed over, Shiraori took out a maid outfit, even waving it back and forth as it followed Jean's dodging gaze.
"Um, I won't wear that."
"Mm, I believe you." Then, with a mysterious smile, it hung the maid outfit in the second most conspicuous position again.
Having completely given up struggling, Jean just lay on the bed, pretending to be a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
Fortunately, no particularly outrageous clothing appeared afterward; at most, they were some cosplay outfits.
Perhaps this was Shiraori's goal after all. After all, Jean certainly wouldn't have touched these cosplay outfits before, but now it actually felt they weren't that outrageous.
"Give me your phone, I'll teach you how to bind the number."
After teaching Jean how to use this number card, Shiraori also logged in its own number, and then told Jean to get some good rest.
However, just as it walked to the door, it said softly to Jean: "Kiana is a child who has had a hard time. She just wants to go home, so if you can, please help her."
"Mm, no problem."
---
After Shiraori left, Jean lay on the bed, flipping through its phone aimlessly. Even though it contained novel content it had never been exposed to, it just felt a bit bored, so it simply put the phone down, opened its arms, and lay on the bed facing the ceiling.
Jean, who had just returned, had been scheduled for a full day of activities. After Synesthesia was activated, Jean also understood the concern Shiraori had for it through the gaze that often observed its expressions.
"To be able to use Synesthesia to this extent on the first day, you really are quite gifted."
Suddenly, 'D' appeared by the bed, wearing a very stylish outfit that completely shed the vibe of a shut-in, looking very energetic.
"Ah, you don't need to get up, just lie there." 'D' stopped Jean's movement and lay down next to Jean itself. "I'm exhausted. Every time we have a meeting, it's just bickering. I should just finish them all off."
While saying such terrifying things, it stretched comfortably like a kitten.
Gently rubbing Jean's head, "Well done. This time, you were almost the most dazzling kid on the scene."
"I just calculated as I went."
"That's enough. Being able to carry out your own will is more important than anything else." 'D' leaned its head against Jean's ear.
This sudden intimacy made Jean very uncomfortable, and its whole body stiffened involuntarily.
"Hahaha, no need to be so scared. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, I am willful, capricious, unreasonable, and vengeful—simply wicked and countless in my crimes. But those are just appearances. In reality..."
"In reality?"
"In reality, it's about the same."
"..."
"Hahaha, just kidding. I am very lenient with my own people." It added in a low voice afterward: "Of course, it would be nice if my own people were just as lenient with me."
The sudden cuteness made Jean laugh out loud unintentionally.
"Oh, by the way, if you have any requirements for that system, you can bring them up. They can all be changed."
"Requirements? I feel like it's completely useless..."
"I'm very sad to hear you say that." 'D' said with a smile.
"You see, the systems in books directly give various actual rewards, or there are various types of lucky draws, but this system only has a viewing function and it's not even complete."
"Lucky draws and the like aren't random; they are all arranged in advance, aren't they? They are purely meant to bluff people."
"So they really are all fake... Wait, what about that slot machine at the very beginning?" Jean suddenly realized that its appearance also came from a random draw.
"Eh heh?"
"Don't try to be cute, hey!"
"Anything else you need? Bring it up quickly." 'D' widened its eyes, ignoring what had just happened.
Jean had no choice, so it stated its requirements: "Then, regarding identification, there's no standard for the opponent's strength, so I can't tell at all. The item grades are just written as 'not implemented,' which is too perfunctory."
"This is mainly because there is currently no unified strength standard. Many sets were popular in the past but were later eliminated. Only 'Eternal' and 'Infinite,' which almost no one can reach, have been preserved. Item grades themselves are very relative; an artifact from a palm-sized Divine Kingdom might not be able to beat an ordinary weapon from a civilization traversing the star sea, not to mention the already ambiguous classifications of Epic and Legendary."
"By the way, I heard someone promoting a unified strength judgment system before. Is that useful?"
"That thing? It's a lazy method. It directly sets that you can advance by defeating the corresponding gatekeeper. It's a system that is very beneficial for group stratification. Paper, Soldier, Strong, Fierce, Mad, God, Beyond-Logic—there will definitely be errors, but they won't be too large. However, group stratification itself has its harmful aspects. But for individuals, there is no cost or side effect. Do you want to try it?"
"Then let's try it."
"Okay. The item system will first use the one inside the Reincarnation Space. We'll talk if there's a need later. By the way, it seems you have awakened the seven deadly sins, right? Do you want me to help you identify it?"
"Does it require any cost?"
"Cost, huh? How about this, I'm in a good mood today, just call me sister, and I'll experience it too."
"Sister..." Jean's slightly shy voice sounded soft and sticky, exceptionally cute.
"So that's what it feels like, hehehe, so cute." 'D' hugged it with a doting smile, rubbing against Jean's head. "Leave it to sister."
Then, in 'D's embrace, warmth and peace accumulated, and Jean quickly fell into a deep sleep.
