BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 - 1.14
[Pupa: You have been dazed for five hours straight, don\'t you have anything to do?]
The system was somewhat aggravated when it saw Yunyu sitting in the pavilion for five hours straight after Michael confessed his feeling. It came as a shock for Yunyu, since he never expected that someone would actually confess to him, and that guy was supposed to be his enemy.
[Pupa, you don\'t understand my feeling right now! I am a pure virgin for 365x19 days! I\'ve been a virgin for 19 years of my life, not even a kiss from a random girl or boy in my school days!]
[Pupa: How… pitiful.]
[You missed the point!] Yunyu also got aggravated by the system\'s half-assed response.
[Pupa: I can safely assume that Michael\'s confession is the first confession that you ever get, right?]
[YES!]
[Pupa:… has nobody ever confessed their feelings to you? Not even once?]
[W—well, I went to all boy school since elementary school, what do you expect? Confession from my male classmate?]
[Pupa: I expected that.]
[Back in my school life, the things that we cared about are sports, games, toys, and the newest action figure! Besides, even if someone confessed to me, I\'ll reject him, because I guarantee that he is not as handsome and amazing as Han Ye!]
[Pupa: Han Ye is that popular actor in your world, right?]
[Yes! Han Ye is not only handsome, but a great actor, with a kind heart and maturity! I\'d want to marry someone like him. Hmm… to think about it I think I have my own sexual orientation.]
[Pupa: Your own sexual orientation?]
[I think I\'m only attracted to Han Ye. I\'m probably a HanYesexual…]
[Pupa:… noted.]
[What?]
[Pupa: What?]
Yunyu was in a much better mood after talking about Han Ye with the system. He was Han Ye\'s number one fan. He even wanted to become an actor because he wanted to be close to Han Ye.
Pupa naturally could read Yunyu\'s mood. It circled around Yunyu and said:
[Pupa: If you keep dilly dallying the mission in this world, you\'ll never return back to your original world. Don\'t you want to go and meet Han Ye on your first day of shooting?]
[Well, yes. I want to return to my original world. I was just dumbfounded by Michael\'s sudden confession. But I guess, love can\'t be forced, right? I don\'t love him at all…]
[Pupa: Just focus to fill the Breakmeter, you are only 15% short.]
Pupa coaxed Yunyu so much, it started questioning whether it was a good system, or a good babysitter. Because this host clearly was too inexperienced to be selected. Pupa wanted to question the headquarter for this.
Yunyu got up from his seat and returned back to his room. He didn\'t know what Michael would do next, but he should be prepared for everything, including the ascension of the new Saint. According to the plot, Saintess would die in less than a year due to sudden heart attack. Then Michael would be showered by the light from the sky and coronated as the new saint.
But Yunyu didn\'t know the exact time, and the system was as useless as it could be. So, the next day, Yunyu returned back to the slum and fed the people. He didn\'t see Michael or his men around the slum, which was surprising.
[Michael is not around at all? Where is he now?]
[Pupa: He is busy disintegrating Head Priest\'s power from the kingdom. He is currently trying to separate himself from the Head Priest and retrieved his status as a prince. He doesn\'t want to be associated with the Head Priest anymore.]
[Wow, what a bold move!]
The Head Priest was very powerful, if Michael was brave enough to separate himself, then he was also brave enough to fight against the Head Priest. Yunyu admired this straightforward gallant nature of Michael. Because it was the quality that he wanted to have.
Yunyu enjoyed chatting with the system while helping the slum as always, until he saw an old man walking towards him with his scrawny body. He looked pitiful and walked limply to Yunyu. After he got near, he clinged on Yunyu\'s hand and said, "Sir I—"
"What do you need, old man?" Yunyu couldn\'t hear him clearly, so he lowered his head and let the old man whisper to his ear. He expected the old man to beg for the Duke\'s aid, but instead, he got one chilling word:
"Die."
[Pupa: Watch out!]
Yunyu\'s body reacted immediately as he felt that a sharp object touched his abdomen. Yunyu barely avoided the knife that was about to pierce his heart. Everyone around them were shocked when they saw this scene, the old man gritted his teeth and ran away with two perfectly strong legs.
The people immediately helped Yunyu and worriedly asked if he was hurt. Yunyu himself was stunned for a long time.
[System, I am a vampire, right? Why do I feel like that knife to my chest is going to kill me?]
[Pupa: That knife has been dipped in holy water, the function is almost similar to a silver stake. Holy water is only available for the people in grand church. The Head Priest might have already discovered your identity as a vampire, or at least, he had suspected it.]
[Probably so, this is a legit assassination attempt.]
Yunyu couldn\'t take this world lightly anymore. When the knife almost pierced his heart, he felt that his life was going to pop like a bubble. Head Priest was not someone for him to mess around.
[I think I\'m going to return soon, I have the feeling that this will not be the last time.]
Yunyu returned back to his mansion and prepared some documents for him to finish. He was procrastinating to finish these documents before, because he thought that he would finish the world alive, but it was too risky now.
[Pupa: You are going to transfer all duchy wealth soon?]
[I\'m not sure whether I\'ll still be around when the Breakmeter has reached 100%. I don\'t want the people here to suffer because of my negligence, especially the orphans.]
After the whole night of preparing the transfer of duchy wealth, Yunyu got sudden notice from the system.
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 90%]
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 95%. Breakmeter is still 85%.]
Yunyu put down his pen and stared at the floating pupa shaped robot in front of him, "Are you sure that you\'re not messing around with me, Pupa? This is literally midnight, and Michael\'s Fatemeter has increased to 95%?"
"Maybe he got a wet dream about you? Maybe he dreamed about having a wild sex with you in his dream," Pupa said nonchalantly, "I think the Fatemeter is going to reach 100% once he reached climax. Humans are filthy."
"You\'re so shameless!" Yunyu blushed, "How could someone fall in love because of a wet dream?"
"You probably have had many wet dreams about Han Ye in your life, you are now his fanboy and loved him to death. Sounds like a good piece of example can be taken here."
"H—hey! Don\'t extract my memory!" Yunyu covered his red face with paper. "A—Anyway, Fatemeter doesn\'t matter! Breakmeter is the thing that I need to complete! Why does the Fatemeter exist anyway?"
"Because for some host, falling in love with the main character is inevitable. Some hosts want to see whether their love has been reciprocated or not," Pupa replied.
"Hah! I don\'t want to fall in love here!" Yunyu shook his head and said determinedly, "I will not fall in love in these worlds! All I want is to return back to my world and continue my life as usual! My first shooting is waiting for me!"
***
Meanwhile, Michael was wide awake the whole time. He had heard the news about the Duke\'s assassination attempt in the slum. The Duke dodged the attack, but he was visibly shaken.
The Duke was a Vampire, an attack with a knife would not kill him. But the Duke reacted immediately when he got attacked with a mere knife, it was proof that the knife was not a regular knife.
He had suspected someone, after a short interrogation, he finally found out that the knife had been dipped in holy water, it was no different than a silver stake that could kill a vampire. And the only ones in this kingdom that had access to the holy water were him and Head Priest.
Michael felt that he was so careless to let the Head Priest attack the Duke so easily. He was wide awake the whole night, thinking how pitiful the Duke was. The Duke was a good man, he helped others, protected and nurtured the orphans and the poor, but what he got was an assassination attempt that almost took his life.
Michael clenched his fist, the Duke would really die if he was too slow. He needed to do everything quick if he wanted to protect him.
"I will never let go."
