Chapter 17 : Second simulation

"Shiro Kitsune, nice name even if it is a little simple" Hearing the white fox girl's name, Yuki smiled brightly as she looked at Shiro.

"Yeah I know that, after all everyone says the same thing about my name" Shiro spoke as if she didn't care.

"You can call my first name directly, no need to worry about anything" Saying that, Yuki extended her hand to shake hands with Shiro.

"hm~ You can also call me Shiro directly" while extending his hand to shake Yuki's hand, Shiro said with a small smile that was impossible for others to see at first glance.

"So Shiro, how about we just go straight back to my house, considering it's getting late" Yuki offered to Shiro.

In response to yuki's offer, Shiro raised her right hand before speaking again.

"Wait a minute, I have something to take before I leave here" After saying so, Shiro immediately disappeared from where she was standing.

Time passed, and now about 10 minutes had passed with Shiro exiting the front door of the shrine carrying several small woven bags with small daggers inside.

Approaching yuki by walking slowly, Shiro then started talking again.

"Come on, I'm ready" she said, looking at the small bag she was carrying once again.

"Alright, let's go" With a short order from Yuki, Shiro and Yuki started walking down the mountain slowly.

Stepping on the stairs one by one, the two of them finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

There Shiro saw a large road with an old bicycle parked on the side.

"This...this place has changed a lot" As if speaking with a nostalgic look, Shiro spoke in a sad voice

Remembering a time when she used to be recognised by many people before finally due to certain events she had to be willingly forgotten by everyone from the outside world.

"What's wrong, feeling nostalgic?" Yuki asked curiously.

Seeing how Shiro looked when she first saw the outside world directly, although Yuki didn't know specifically how long Shiro had lived in the shrine itself, but when he remembered the characteristics of the fox demon.

Apparently, Shito had lived in the shrine for a long time without anyone remembering her.

"It's fine, just some insignificant memories that happened to come back to my head" waving his right hand as if signalling that she was fine, Shiro continued.

"So, what are we doing back at your house?" Shiro asked looking around.

"With this" Picking up the old bicycle that was parked on the side of the big road, Yuki brought it to meet Shiro directly.

"Eh? Are you serious?" as if confused, Fubuki asked.

"Of course I'm serious, and you shouldn't judge this bicycle by its exterior either, because honestly this bicycle has even saved my life several times in the past" Yuki said proudly.

"Ha~ Whatever" with that said, Shiro began to float again for a moment before it began to emit white light before appearing with the shape of a beautiful silver necklace there.

Picking up the silver necklace, yuki then began to speak.

"Wait! You can do transformation techniques?" Yuki asked curiously as he began to analyse the silver necklace thoroughly.

"What's the transformation technique? Obviously, this necklace is just a space artefact that I used as my shelter when I left the old temple" Shiro spoke with a hint of sarcasm when she saw yuki's ignorance about his artefact.

"Oi! What the hell is that tone of yours! And also where do I know that this necklace is actually an artefact of the room you used as a residence when leaving the old shrine" Yuki said with a tone full of rebuttal when hearing Shiro's sarcasm-filled voice.

With a few more arguments before returning, Yuki finally started pedalling hia bicycle back to his home.

With a short journey of 30 minutes, Yuki finally arrived at his home.

"Hey, Yuki! Are you sure this is your house and not the ruins of the building you randomly found to sleep in tonight" with a tone full of question marks, Shiro asked yuki.

"Yes I know this place looks like a ruin at first glance, but hey! Even so it's still my house and also this condition won't last long, so take it easy" in a tone full of optimism Yuki explained the state of his house to Shiro, of course with some things that were a little exaggerated of course.

"So, where am I going to sleep tonight?" Shiro asked curiously.

"Oh that, you can sleep in the guest room on the second floor and I'll use the guest room on the first floor" Yuki said while pointing towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

With yuki's instructions, Shiro came out from inside the necklace and started walking towards the guest room on the second floor.

"Oh yeah! Do you want to eat?"

"No need."

"Okay."

With that, yuki also started to leave the living room and walked towards the guest room where he slept.

Walking tiredly, yuki finally arrived inside her room before throwing herself onto his soft mattress freely.

[Ding* Host, would you like to continue the second phase of the simulation?]

With the system notification appearing suddenly, Yuki got up from his sleep and immediately sat up to look at the system interface screen that appeared suddenly.

Staring at the blue coloured hologram screen that appeared in front of his, Yuki then began to speak.

"Oh right, I almost forgot that I still have a second round for today's simulation" Yuki said while fiddling with the system interface screen.

There yuki saw her status screen which still hadn't changed much. Before starting to speak again.

"System, start the second simulation!"

With a lethargic look due to work fatigue, yuki began to continue the second phase simulation much later than the previous one.

Following yuki's short command, the system's blue coloured holographic screen began to change and display a new look on the screen.

[Start simulation]

[Initiate formation of simulated Avatar...]

[Extraction of 1/3 of the host's soul as Avatar is successful]

[Ding* Second Phase life simulation starts, loading... loading... loading...Ding* Simulation successfully loaded]

[detected that the simulation in your first Phase is not finished, starts to extract and merge the two phases°°°° Ding* merge successfully performed]

[start selecting the Host's initial base before continuing the simulation, Ding* Initial Base successfully selected, Trait with green Grade "Stupid" successfully obtained]

"Eh? I got a new trait again?"

As if confused by the development, Yuki decided to ignore it for now before hearing the system day notification again.

[Would you like to see the summary of the trait "Stupid"? Yes/No]

"Yes" with a short order from Yuki, the blue holographic screen of the system began to change again.

[Ding* Summary of the trait "Fool": A trait that allows the host to continuously study and learn without limitations by putting aside worldly affairs to reach the highest level of perfection, this trait can also allow the owner to perform learning 10 times faster than other normal humans]

Looking at the summary of the trait he obtained this time, Yuki couldn't help but be dumbfounded, why not? Given to perform learning without limitation and an increase in learning speed up to 10 times certainly made his a little interested.

But when reading the continuation of the summary notified by the system, Yuki couldn't help but frown.

After all no matter how good the traits he got, it was impossible for Yuki to sacrifice his worldly affairs just to study.

Considering he also wanted a happy life like everyone else.

[The simulation is ready, does the host want to continue? Yes/No]

"Continue the simulation at this time, system"

Following Yuki's short decision, the holographic screen of the system changed again before a new notification appeared.

[Ding* Second phase simulation begins]
