Chapter 39 Date with Starlight

In order to complete the side tasks provided by the system, Kratos and Starlight agreed on a place to eat.

The mission reward is 500 red soul points. There are no monsters with red souls in this world. Although superhumans drop red souls when they die, they cannot be killed casually. After all, surveillance cameras are everywhere.

So Kratos can only complete side tasks to barely maintain his life like this.

Along the way, Mimir wants to teach the world's pick-up skills, including knowing how to be romantic, pretending to be generous, and knowing how to cheat, but Kratos feels that learning this is a waste of time.

Mimir: "Let me ask a rude question, have you ever had any experience in love?"

Kratos: "Of course, I'm married."

Mimir: "Then how did you chase her?"

Kratos: "No need to chase, we two fell in love at first sight."

Mimir said with some jealousy: "I know that you were the strongest warrior in Sparta at the time, and all women wanted to give birth to strong offspring with you. But Starlight is different. It takes skills to catch her."

Kratos: "The system mission only requires me to go on a date with her, but it doesn't say that I must pursue her."

Mimir was speechless by this sentence. He taught Kratos how to pick up girls for three purposes. Prove your worth, enjoy a relationship, and watch Kratos make a fool of himself with his inexperienced pick-up skills.

Now these three purposes cannot be achieved.

Kratos came to the place where he had a date with Starlight. It was a very ordinary small restaurant. Both of them were wearing casual clothes, not looking very grand.

Starlight wears a pink hoodie, jeans, and her hair in braids, which is a little different from her superhero look.

She looked at Kratos's hat, sunglasses and mask and complained: "You did a good job disguising!"

Kratos smiled helplessly. Siren reminded him of the disguise before, but he didn't take it seriously. He went out as usual and was immediately surrounded by a group of fans.

He has been surrounded by countless monsters before, and after revealing the Blade of Chaos, he can fight his way out.

But these are ardent fans. After killing them, they will not get the red soul reward, and there is also the risk of failing the main mission...

After the two sat down, they ordered their favorite food.

Starlight raised her drink glass: "Thank you for saving me last time."

Kratos said nothing and toasted to Fat house happy water.

Starlight: "I thought I was strong, made of steel, and a warrior. But that day I hesitated. If you hadn't come in, I might have really compromised."

"I'm very disappointed in myself. It turns out I'm not as strong as I thought."

"I couldn't find anyone to talk to about the grievances I suffered that day. My mother only cared about my work, what superheroes I had seen, and whether I had done anything earth-shattering."

"I'm just a tool for her to show off. When others tell her that her daughter got into medical school, she can proudly say that my daughter got into the Super Seven!"

Starlight sighed: "I don't want to disappoint her, so I can only tell her that everything is fine."

"And even if she did, her answer would be, keep smiling, life must go on."

"But I really hate this sentence. When I feel wronged, I want to cry loudly. When I feel tired, I want to take a good rest."

Starlight suddenly realized something and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I keep pouring out my bitterness. You must be bored."

Mimir whispered: "This girl has been suppressing her feelings, but now she has found someone to talk to. You have a chance..."

Kratos is not bored at all. After experiencing life and death several times, he is very curious about this kind of mortal suffering. "Do you hate this job?"

Starlight thought for a moment: "Being in the Super Seven has been my dream since I was a child. But since I joined, every day has been terrible..."

"Of course, I'm not saying that meeting you is bad. Meeting you is the only thing that makes me feel lucky."

"Although a lot of people don't believe me, I really like working as a superhero because I can use my powers to help a lot of people."

"But since I entered Vought, I found that everything is different from what I imagined."

"I used to fight crime for the sake of social security, but now it has become a show to enhance my popularity."

"Most of my time is spent meeting reporters, advertising ads, and attending meetings. This is not the life I want."

After hearing these words, Kratos recalled the past and how he had wasted his life for illusory goals.

In the early years, in order to bring the glory of Sparta to the world, he made countless military exploits, but ended up selling his soul to Ares.

When he thought he had the favor of the God of War and was willing to fight for him, he ended up with the tragic death of his wife and daughter.

When he didn't want to be tortured by this memory and was willing to serve the gods to wash away his sins, all he got was lies.

So he understands Starlight's current confusion. "It's very simple, leave Vought. Identify yourself and the life you want."

Starlight was stunned. This option was something she had not considered at all, but it was impossible to make major changes immediately. "You were talking about me just now, what about you? Why do you want to join Vought?"

Kratos: "Same as the answer in the interview, become the most popular superhero!"

Starlight knew that Kratos was not telling the truth and had no intention of inquiring into his privacy, so he changed the question: "You must have good looks and abilities, so you can be said to be the darling of fate."

"What else do you need? Money, power, status, women?"

Kratos said calmly: "I just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully with my family."

Starlight showed a shy expression and spent the rest of her life with Kratos hand in hand. This was also the life she longed for.

Mimir said depressedly: "Brother, I'm really convinced by you. You don't need to study any skills, you can capture Starlight's heart with just a few simple words!"

Kratos was noncommittal and finished his meal with Starlight.

When leaving the restaurant, Starlight suddenly said: "I like the feeling of being with you. I can be my true self without worrying about scaring others with my true self."

Kratos looked at his hands, his bronzed skin, and thought:

What is my true face? The God of War who uses violence to destroy everything in front of him, or...

He shook his head, throwing those boring thoughts away.

The past has happened and I can't change it. But now, I can decide who I am!

Kratos completed the mission, received the red soul reward, and was ready to go home and play Siren...recommended video games.

Starlight is thinking about where to go for the next game. Bowling might be a good choice.

When the two were about to talk, they heard the screams of the crowd and the sirens of police cars coming from the corner of the street.

An out-of-control cash transport truck was driving towards them.
