The eerie stillness of the strange dark cave, punctuated only by the presence of a bizarre, twisted tree, was suddenly shattered by the wailing of my dear system.
"H-Host?"
'...'
"Host... ಥ_ಥ"
'...'
"I think... I made a mistake... ಥ_ಥ"
You think?
After what felt like an eternity, the silence was broken again.
"ಠ_ಠ What? Somehow, my advantages as a system are being restricted... but not everything is affected! Don't worry, I have a plan. My navigator is still working."
'...'
"So, if you can just climb this tree... do you see that big branch to the right? (⌒▽⌒)☞ Do you see it?!"
'...'
"That branch has the right amount of power and flexibility to take us to the other side of that edge. After that, it's only 300 meters, and you'll be out of this cave!"
'...'
"When we get out of here, we'll face a dark forest, but don't worry! Just go in a straight line for about 1.5 kilometers, and you'll find yourself on the main road that leads to the nearest village, which is about 3 kilometers from there."
'...'
"Well, it's true that we might encounter some beasts or maybe even some human-eating plants... From my observations, it seems like we're in a magical fantasy world, so all types of monsters listed in the encyclopedia could be found here. But don't worry! I'll make sure to choose the right path so we can avoid all possible hardships. Besides, I got a full mark in the 'Guess the Organism' test—I know every one of them! (≧∇≦)/"
'...'
"Host?"
'...'
"H-Host?"
'...'
"Are you ignoring me now? ಥ_ಥ"
'...'
"You don't like my plan?!"
"B..."
"I know it... You don't need to finish... ( ཀ͝ ∧ ཀ͝ )"
"... B"
"I know you're disappointed in me. This was supposed to be our vacation! You finally finished your 100 missions, and now I've messed up everything! (இдஇ; )"
"..."
"I don't understand what happened. I'm sure all my calculations were correct—I checked them 10 times before activating the transfer gate. Could it be 003's fault?! He and his stupid host, always trying to act like heroes saving beauties. I was always skeptical about them... Or could it be 456, out for revenge because I didn't want them to tag along?!"
"... Oh, oh! I saw 444 looking at us this morning before transferring. I'm sure he was cursing me because I have such an amazing host! Sob sob (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣ ू)... The list is so long, I don't know who could've done this!"
"..."
"I didn't see 002 and 001 last night. They usually stick to you with their hosts, but somehow I didn't see them yesterday. Could it be them?! I knew having a heartthrob host would bring us trouble sooner or later."
"..."
"And now even my host is ignoring me! Sob... (இдஇ; ) But... but... I'm sure my calculations were correct. I chose planet 054f6c, exactly as planned—a small island about 200 km² with no living beings except some small animals. A two-story house with all the windows facing the beach... I took care of all your favorite details! A big kitchen, a library... Oh, I even sneaked in a year's worth of your favorite snacks! And a loooooot of lemon juice!"
