The Consequences and Sacrifices
"In the System of course…. No wait- Fufufu… Fuck, you actually got me, I don't know the answer to that. But a deal is a deal. Of course, I will let you try the things that you want from the Mortal Realm. Of course, you will do the part of your deal, right? You will explain it clearly and precisely to me since I couldn't answer your question. So… Amane, I'm curious about where the Coins go when you spend it in the System shop." Yuki smiled lightly as she casually pressed a few buttons on the Jet and made it slower so that Amane would have all the time that she could get to explain where the Coins go.
This matter didn't really bother Yuki since she didn't care about the Coins and stuff, especially the stuff in the System that were all ridiculously expensive, there was only a handful of times where she actually bought something from them. And there were even some times when she regretted buying something from there, but she had to in order to survive. But now that Amane has stricken her curiosity about it, she would force her to spit out the answer because Yuki was the type of person who hates when she doesn't know anything, especially those that interest her. That is why she had one of the biggest personal libraries back on Earth, now she was also planning to do the same in the Immortal Realm.
Knowledge for her is one of the easiest strengths to acquire, but it is also a double-edged sword because there are some times when having too much knowledge can lead to death.
"Ah, I…" Amane was tongue-tied as she didn't really expect Yuki to not know the answer and the worst thing was that she couldn't even tell if she was lying or not, she just had the same cold and indifferent look on her face that irritated her because she can't read it. She was irritated because if Yuki did know it, but not to that extent then she would rather not say the answer since she could already guess where it was going, but if she really didn't know, then it was something else. In her mind, that was just straight impossible, and even though she just met Yuki for more than a day, she knew her personality well by watching from the sides. And it was that she was hungry for knowledge, she had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not lying. I don't really know the answer to that~" Yuki smiled as she clicked another button and just like that, Amane's recorded voice started playing which made her give up as she began to explain how the System Coins and Shop really works.
"Fine, I give up. You clearly set me up after hearing that we would play a game. Once you buy something from the Shop, the coins that you have wasted go into the Garbage System, and those will pile up once you have reached a certain limit which if I remember correctly, should be 1 Decillion which of course is extremely high, but you know how expensive the things that are in the System. The ones that you are seeing are still actually quite cheap, but that is not the point. You now have one flower bud right? That means you have a limit of 1 Decillion now, and if you ever cross that number, if you buy something more, it would take away 1 year of your life, and it is 1 to 1. Meaning… 1 Coin is equivalent to 1 Year of life." Amane explained lightly since there was no need to explain further since Yuki could already understand it, there was also no use warning her since she was sure that Yuki hadn't even reached that absurd number yet.
"Oh yeah! I forgot it is even worse when you try to loan some Coins to the System because it actually takes double your lifespan. 1 Gold is 2 years of your life and if you pay them quick enough, they would lessen it to just one. So don't try to borrow in the future because it's actually a bad move." Amane shrugged, she was also quite sure that Yuki hadn't tried to loan Coins from the System considering how careful she was in treating things, but what she didn't know is that she had already loaned Coins from the System and it wasn't a small amount considering that it lessens her Lifespan.
But when Amane saw the extremely cold face of Yuki, she thought otherwise since it was impossible for her to make such a face if she hadn't actually done it.
"You… don't tell me you already loaned to the System? How much was it? I hope it's only a few thousand since it is still controllable and not that bad, but if it exceeded that, then it would be extremely bad." Amane said in shock as she actually couldn't believe that Yuki would make a mistake.
"Yeah, fuck I know. The problem is… I loaned about 300,000 Coins, and I guess you can say that I'm lucky since I paid all of it within the week of I loaned them. So I guess I only lost 300,000 Years of Lifespan. That's what pisses me off, this thing actually tricked me. Almost taking my life, but I just wonder, I loaned that when I was still a Demonic Beast, so why haven't I died yet? I know that Demonic Beasts can only live about a few thousand years." Yuki said with a murderous tone in her as she just couldn't wait to be strange and kill the person who made and controlled the System for making such a dumb System.
"Oh shit. That's actually a lot. That is so big, I'm not going to ask why. But I'll answer your question, maybe it has something to do with your bloodline. After all, you are the daughter of the famous Beast Goddess of the Immortal Realm, so you must have been born as an Immortal already, though that is just my theory of course. But don't worry about it for now, the important thing is that you are still alive."
"I guess so… Let's wrap this up for now, the more we talk about the System the more I have the urge to fucking destroy it which is not good," Yuki said as she calmed herself down and shut the auto-pilot before driving the Jet on her own again and this time, she was now flying at top speed. Their travel was fast and quiet as both parties didn't try to talk with each other for now since the two were thinking of other things on their mind. And it didn't take long as they had finally arrived.
"Let's celebrate your revival at a later date, if you want we can do it at the time of my departure because I actually don't want you to come with me. And I'm going to say it now, I'm not going to separate you from Aika. In fact, it's actually quite the opposite, I'm the one who is going to separate because I don't want her to come with me for some reason. One reason is because I want for you to bond together as one, as a true Mother and Daughter, maybe even give her the love that I wasn't able to give her, I know that I lack in that matter, and that is why I hope you can fill that gap. The second reason is that I want you to train her and please train her properly. I will send you a training schedule that she will follow every week. So don't worry about it, so can you do it?" Yuki spoke as she gave Amane no chance to talk about at first, she explained everything about why she wanted for her to take care of Aika, though it was only the two reasons out of the many others that she didn't need to tell now.
The true meaning behind their separation is that Aika is sometimes too dependent, on the people she was used to depending on. It would give her a chance to grow up and even if Amane was there, someone who she could lean on, it would only be to a certain degree. It was not going to be like Yuki or Yumie and Kurokami doting.
"Ahh… I see. I have no problems with that actually. In fact, I don't even need a party to be held just for me. Staying with Aika is enough for me, but I am going to ask. Are you really okay with this? I mean, you are going to Nightingale to take the Primordial Vampire Goddess's Inheritance right? That would at least take a few years, or even a decade. Are you alright not meeting her in that amount of time?" Amane just had to ask if Yuki had already decided on this plan since this would hurt both of them and she didn't like that, she already saw Yuki as a reliable and fun friend even though she was a bit annoying to her, and of course she doesn't want to see Aika being sad. That was the last thing she wanted to happen.
"Of course not, but this is something that needs to happen. Sacrifices are important as it is an essential part of growth… I'm sure you have already seen it, she is too dependent, and I don't like that. So I hope you can fix that out of her."
