The System's Dilemma

Very quickly, the system returned to its place as though sneaking around its host.

And Dorian, who was in a state of close cultivation, calmly raised his brows playfully.

'Where did you run off to?'

'...' 

The system felt very guilty and scared after ratting out its host like that. But it dared not tell the truth, lest it damaged the bond he had worked so hard to build with its host.

That is, compared to when it first came into this world, now, the host was willing to talk to it... Even if it was just 2 or 3 words at a time.

So wasn't this progress?

(:T0T:)

[Host! Host! Don't be angry. The system just wanted to sleep a little. That's all!]

'Oh.' Dorian replied casually before entering cultivation mode again.

It felt the system leave it briefly, and even after calling the system, no one responded to him.

So it figured that it either went to sleep or went somewhere else.
