Chapter 38: System In Mind
They entered through the door that had the sound of souls wandering, Julia and Katze’s overcoat fluttered as they moved forward. Each step of them marked an archive, on their way, their face expressed casuality, there was nothing to overthink about. Katze already asked Julia about her aura-emanating, the query was answered with ease. She didn’t get it in her first attempt, but she got it in the second attempt, meaning her power was the clue. She already thought this query, soon or not, would be asked; she knew that because she thought of it, she would diminish into branches for the event. That was why, she could guess the answer in the second attempt.
Her second attempt was given thirty percent of the answer: K****
She was given digits concealed in asterisks.
With the message given and her critical thinking ability, she could get that it was Katze in respondent. However, it wasn’t a big deal for her, she didn’t understand it, but there was something within her for intuition that gave her access to feel what was the closest one to the answer, a realization with a sudden burst told her that “this could be the answer”. Girl’s sixth sense was the thing that she thought it was the reason she could suddenly get all the answers needing intuition parts, she was probably proud. Feminine hormone is about emotions over reasons, she couldn’t insist against it, because she’s a girl. Her talent was a gift, most girls have good intuition, but some were gifted to have extraordinary intution. If she was asked about how did she know? (something that the person asked or happened) she would probably reply with the answers, “I don’t know” or “I just feel it”. Whatever the answers, people would shift the topic to the other thing, because they thought that it was vague and unclear, or the other reasons, such as they think she’s just great or...they just feel bored.
Katze glanced at Julia with side eye, his behavior was to get used to a new person, looking at new or strange things is human’s nature, which is to understand the new phenomenon. Katze wasn’t an exception either, that was why he was carefully glaring at her, but Julia already knew his actions, she was being ordinary with it. She knew these types of things would happen but she didn’t really mind it a lot, she didn’t even implant percentage into these, because she thought these were moderately cute.
Katze: “What should I call thee? Thou look older than me, so I would like to call thee by nickname. What do thou think about that?”
Katze asked Julia about what he should call her, avoiding calling her real name, since she must be older than him. A way to show reverence, Julia noted that from him, of course, this type of interaction must be for these gods at least.
Julia: “That was quite nice of you to think that far, but I think thou just need to call me by my real name for convenience.”
Katze: “If thou think that’s alright, then I won’t get bothered when I say your name.”
The interaction enhanced their relationship, albeit it was trifling. However, no one knows that from each other, because they were nonchalant. The boy was staying brief and normal, whilst the girl was feeling hyped toward her new home, not showing the emotion. They didn’t know, but they kinda felt it. Hopefully, this type of interaction may strengthen their relationship and become intimacy.
Through the tunnel, they finally reached the destination. Golden decorations displayed, many seemingly noble properties, yellowish dust was flowing in the air, but it didn’t occupy their eyes once. Picturesque scenes were illustrated in the paintings hanging on the wall, Julia was fascinated by the royal-like architecture of the upperclass living place. She didn’t know if she was going to live in a castle or a mansion, seemingly, she guessed that she would live in an accommodation that gave her literally everything she needed. The table, the chairs, and the objects for a comfortable life were here, she thought.
Katze: “Are you feeling dazzled of this? I was like this as well when I first came here. Though it must be a look of an upperclass architecture, this is just a mansion in a total of four.”
Her eyes widened, she didn’t think this horrendous mansion wasn’t the final one. There were four in total, and this was just one of it.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Julia: “There are more than that? I don’t know if I could walk to every corner of this mansion.”
Katze: “It would take days to explore all, but yeah, this is your own mansion now. There are needs for you to tend your well-being, so...”
Katze paused his sentence, then he continued to say,
Katze: “I want to know you, Julia.”
Both looked at each other, they already had queries in their mind to ask the opposite individual. They thought even if it’s a meaningless talk, this would give them information about the individual who is similar in circumstance. They wanted to understand the reason that brought them here, to this place, to this realm. A contradiction, they thought.

Quintuplets: “This accommodation is yours now, Julia, you may do anything you like. But, there’s something we need to know.”
This accommodation is my home now, it’s unbelievale that I could acquire this property, not my property, but an accommodation for me to live through days in radiance. I get asked by the...five people as one, is it a good way to call it? Maybe I should keep it inside my mind.
Wishes: infinite
Condition: needed to apply percentage to outcomes.
A system in my mind or my imagination started to pop up in my mind, words weren’t displayed in front of me, more like I thought of them.
Someone is talking behind your back
Wish to divide percentage or not?
Yes.
Your price will give you 70% of the prize you want.
What do you want?
Nothing.
You want nothing, there’s no prize input.
-
Do you think someone is looking down on you?
Yes.

No.
You didn’t wish to divide percentage, the event would set to 100% default
What do you want?
A blue charm.
Prize stored, later use.
“...”
-
Quintuplets: “We would like to ask thee about thy authority and magical abilities.”
Jackpot!
Your guess is right, you can have 100% of the prize you want!
Prize: information of one individual
Wish to have it now or later?
Later.
Prize awaits in inventory.
Again, the authority activated for me to decide. Those were my thoughts, I was thinking that those would happen, I could store it in an inventory that’s incorporeal, my authority is like a system-based, but it is running inside my mind. Everytime, the prizes would pop up in my hands after my prediction was correct. I finally could read someone’s identification, no need to ask the person.
“I’m not excel in magic nor anything like that, the only ability I have is my authority.”
God #1: “What is thy authority, I wonder?”
Correct!
One quintuplet asks me about my authority, is it wise to tell them about my authority? I think I could tell them, but since there’s no threat imposed, therefore I don’t need to conceal my information. Probably, I should just tell them the name of my ability.
Correct!
Katze’s looking at you.
Prize: nothing
No prize given
I don’t want to snatch benefits from him, simply because there’s a thing I need to confirm. If I could read someone’s information for the wish given earlier, then there’s a person I would like to comprehend.
