Chapter - 10 [ Caught A Chef Type! ]
[ Which System should I choose for her, master? ]
'Hmmm.. let me ask her.'
"I have two kinds of systems. One is for those who I have affection towards, like my lovers, or children. The second one is for my friends and crew mates, or subordinates. For you, I'll be choosing the second one."
Hearing him, Flare's eyes flickered with anger and she asked,
"What? Are saying that I don't look good? Or are you saying I'm just a friend even in the future?"
'Why am I arguing with him so much? I should just choose the second one.'
Ash's next words made her slightly surprised,
"Ah.. that's not it! What should I say.. I'm first to this relationship type kind of things. So, I don't know what to do. Even if I do like you, if I choose the first one without consulting you, I thought you may come to hate me..."
Ash wasn't lying. He was honest. In fact he knows that Orna now loves him and he returns that feeling. But he doesn't know much about it. Even in the last life, he didn't have much experience in love type things. The only experience he have is by seeing the romantic anime, movies and etc.
Flare who knew that his words were the truth and in honesty felt her face becoming a little hot. Who won't be!? It's true that she asked rudely about if he wants her body, but she was anticipating such things in this life. She too like Ash, doesn't have any experience even though it's her second life.
And when she heard even if he likes her, she understood he have some feelings towards her, but didn't want to disrespect her. His character made her one step closer to trusting him.
Then with a rosy cheeks, she said after turning her face from his eyes,
"Who won't fall in love with you if they travel with you for a while? Just give me the first one. And I'm sure we can think about it in the future."
"Mm."
Ash was surprised by her actions and words.
[ It seems you have a charm other than your handsome face. Well, which girl doesn't like a handsome, strong, kind boy who respects them? Just give her the first one. I mean I can sense that you did indeed feel a slight affection towards her, even if it's not romantic yet. May be it's because you both are from the same world or maybe you both are desperate for someone to rely on. ]
'...'
Ash didn't say anything. Julene who understood his choice decided to choose the first one.
[ Choosing system : Blessings and Affection to Flare Chalcto! ]
[ Bonding Blessings and Affection System to Flare Chalcto... ]
[ Bonding..... 10%...54%...87%....100%! Complete! ]
Flare who was startled by a new screen calmed down soon after.
"Is this.."
[ Bonding with the host! ]
[ Merging with the Supreme Chef Tycoon System! ]
[ Successful! AI destroyed! Creating a New AI for Helping Host... ]
[ Successful! ]
[ New : Infinite Supreme Chef System, now Online ]
[ Congratulations to the host for receiving the system from Master. ]
"How is it? Check it's functions."
Flare who knew about systems wasn't as surprised as Orna. But she nodded and decided to check it.
[ This is the system made by Master, to reward those who he wants bless or have affection towards. As for the functions, I shall explain it to you. ]
"Are you the new AI?" Just like Orna, she asked but her mind was somewhere else as well. Hearing the system's words she remembered that she was one of those who are blessed or have affection from the master. And if what she guessed true, then that master is Ash.
[ I'm the new AI, or Artificial Intelligence in order to help the host get stronger. The old one was used to let host get stronger but at a later date, the god who gave the system to the user would absorb the life force and energy saved by the system for his own use. Now, I have destroyed the old system Orgin and now this system and me are fully subservient to you only. Not even master can order us. But Master's AI, the Queen can order us. However she will not order anything dangerous. ]
"I see.... Then what are the function of the new system?"
[ Let me explain it to you. ]
[ First of all, look at this :
System :
- Status
- Inventory
- Quests
- Shop
- Bond
These are the functions of the system. If you want to know about each, just touch them on the screen. ]
She had the same kind of interface with her previous system as well. Then she touched the option status and she saw :

Seeing her new status and the power coursing through her body, Flare was shocked. She wondered how can she be shocked this much in just one day!
Then seeing the quest, she was ecstatic! This means she will get two attack skills which will help her in her problem of not having an attack skill!
Looking at his face, she said,
"I'd like to join you! And yes I will also follow you even if you leave to another world!"
Ash nodded. And she heard the system notification.

'What!? I became so strong!? Now even if someone like Smoker or any other marine captains come against me, I don't have to worry! And I awakened Armament Haki!? And at the middle stage too! With that, I don't have to worry about devil fruit users even if they are Logia types. And finally, I have two attack skills! I have Psychokinesis which is a psychic power and Swordsmanship which is in sync with me because I use knfives! And though the flame control is not an attack skill, it can help me control flame in any way I want! Oh my god! This is so cheat! I still remember how Luffy got Armament Haki. He had to fight monsters as well as train harshly to awaken it!'
"Hey Ash, can I also awaken Conqueror's Haki in the Future?"
She was very excited.
'This was the most exciting thing happened to me!'
"Yes. In the future, everyone can awaken it. You just have to complete the quests and the rewards are something anyone will covet. By the way, we have been in this island for a while. Why don't you talk to your people. We will be waiting for you in the port."
Ash stood up and walked towards the door with Orna. Flare smiled and said,
"Ok, Captain! I'll be there in a few hours!"
Ash nodded and left with Orna. Flare who was left behind sighed and muttered to herself,
"Who would have thought something like this would happen? Well, I'm happy since I'm not going with a pervert. Rather I think he is a good person. At least to who he have affection towards. Wait! Is that why he wasn't angry at me...? Oh...."
With a slight blush, Flare ignored the system notification that made her even more embarassed.

None of the people worried about Flare who was screaming and squirming in her room....
