Chapter 39 - Mistake

'So, why did the system suddenly went offline?'

"Well, in a nutshell, it was basically this idiot's fault" said Anteros.

"I still can't see what is the problem. I was supposed to design a system to make his life easier, and that's exactly what I did" complained Eros.

"Our task was to help this child in having the tools necessary for him to enjoy a more fulfilling life. That can only be done if he have objectives and goals to achieve and challenges to overcome. What you did was basically give him everything in a silver platter" admonished Anteros.

"You are overthinking this. It never was said anything of the sort when we receive this job" rebuked Eros.

"It wasn't need to, especially considering the scolding that I received afterwards for letting you bungle everything. Do you have any idea of how many favors I had to offer for the God of Reincarnation to solve this mess?! I had even to ask mother's help!" said Anteros, almost shouting at this point, clearly angry.

"Ahh, don't be so cranky. Mother and that old geezer are in good terms. He might even forget this favors after talking with her a little" said Eros, completely unconcerned with the trouble that it caused.

"Now list here..." continued Anteros.

And just like that the two of them started to bicker again. Honestly, I couldn't care less about their relationship or who's fault it was this point, although the blame obviously lied with Eros, but considering that according to Anteros we still had a limited time here it was best for me to intervene.

'HEY HEY HEY, that's enough already!'

After doing what best could be described as a scream in this space, both of the gods finally stopped to argue with each other.

"Ahh, once again I apologize for this unsightly behavior" said Anteros.

"Yeah, whatever" said Eros.

'No need for that. Let's just get this over with. From what I could understand, Eros was responsible for programming the specifics of the system, or something like that, but he/she mad it to easy for me get the point, is that about right?'

"...yes, is as what you said" said Anteros apologetic.

"I still think that-" said Eros.

'Can you hold back your opinions until after I leave? I just want to get this over with'

"Tsk, fine. I'll wait you leave" grumbled Eros.

"Ughh" groaned Anteros, holding it's forehead like it was trying to mitigate an impeding headache.

'Considering this, can I assume that when I wake up the system will be active again?'

"Indeed. I only noticed that something was wrong after you received a great amount of points for the first time. The flow of divine energy was just abnormally high, which caught my and my progenitor attention. It would take a lot of time and work for me to correct that while you were using the system, so I unfortunately had to deactivate it. Thanks to that I manage to correct everything in just a couple of days" explained Anteros.

To be honest I wasn't that much bothered with this things. I had already noticed that receiving so many points for just rubbing Rina's breasts was a little too much, but I didn't thought much at the time.

'So what does that mean for the points that gained? And the skills I already bought?'

"Don't worry, once the skills were bought the modifications in your physical form were already made, so they can't really be taken. As for the points, due to the necessity of deactivating the system I'm afraid that you received none after buying your skills. The best I can do is offer 500 Hentai Points as an apology for the inconvenience" said Anteros.

"Ohh, come one. Let's give him 800 points already. He just manage to conquer his first woman, and she is even willing to share him with others" said Eros.

"I can't give him more. It was already a struggle to convince her to accept give him this points already, anymore than that would be pushing my luck" said Anteros.

"Still feels like we are scamming he or something" complained Eros.

"If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for doing such a awful job with the system" accused Anteros.

"..."

'Okay guys, that's enough. 800 points is already a good amount as compensation, so don't worry about it'

...honestly this development wasn't to my liking, but it wasn't completely bad either. Looking by the good side, if things had gone the way they should be then I probably wouldn't have the skills I bought, possibly be even behind in my current progress with my family.

Ultimately there was nothing really that I could do. Even if I complained the only thing that I give me is possibly the ire of two gods, and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't just rip of the system of me in such situation, since Anteros so easily made it stop working without me even noticing when it happened.

'But I would like to make a question, of that's not a problem?'

"Of course. We'll answer if we can" said Anteros promptly.

"..." Eros just remained quiet, clearly growing more irritated by the second.

'Why are you helping me?'

"Huh? Why shouldn't-"said Anteros.

'Listen, I'm not naive enough to believe that two gods would show so much interest in a small mortal like I without having some kind of agenda. What exactly do you want?'

My words seemed to cause Anteros to be shaken for a bit, clearly not knowing how to exactly to respond. Of the two she certainly is the most willing to cooperate with me and share information, and no that I said out loud my thoughts she likely felt that, even if not everything, even if not everything.

But before she could come up with an answer...

"Okay, I'm done with this!" exclaimed Eros.

...she was beaten to the punch by her sibling.

'Hey, at least-'

"Listen here kid, I have better things to do then waste my energy discussing all f this crap. Hell, I didn't even wanted any business in this whole system mess, but mother had for me" said Eros.

"EROS!" exclaimed Anteros.

"Oh, forget it Ant. He would find out about some of this eventually" said Eros.

'...your mother? Isn't she-'

"Now listen carefully" said Eros, interrupting me "I'm going to summarize everything that you can know. Yes, we are not helping simple out kindness, but because there is something that we want. No, we can't answer to you what it is right now. Yes, we will tell you eventually. You need first to reach a certain point in your progress, let's say when your harem has at least seven members. All good? Now excuse me, but there's a bunch of dick and cunt that I have to go back" said Eros, disappearing immediately after.

For a few seconds me and Anteros stayed quiet, until finally the other god broke the silence.

"As you can see my siblings can't rest unless-" said Anteros.

'Yeah, I got that already'

It really wasn't necessary a genius to understand that.

"But as much as I don't like to admit, she did said everything that we could. I'm not allowed to say anything more" said Anteros.

'Haaaahhhh, fine. So I guess that what Eros said about our next meeting is true as well?'

"She probably just took that number at random, but it's not a bad one either. Are you okay with this" asked Anteros.

'Yeah, I'm okay. Not like we have anything else to discuss anyway'

"That's a relief. Then until next time. I hope the goddess of luck smile upon you" said Anteros, with a smile on her face.

'Yeah, I'll hope for that as well'

And with our farewells said, once again I saw the distance between us increasing at an incredible pace...

...until I could see nothing else anymore.
