Chapter 27: H- He Walked Through Her?!
Harry felt quite bad upsetting the system. After all, she had bravely showed her appearance to him. It was quite rude and harsh of him to laugh at her.
So, he apologized to the system. "Hey System. I'm Sorry. I was just joking around with you. You look absolutely stunning. You saw my dumbstruck expression when I saw your face right?"
A bit of flattery goes a far way in making friends and apologizing. And anyway, what he said was not false at all. She looked absolutely stunning. He was just teasing her to get revenge on all the times she teased him.
The system checked her host's mind, and upon finding that her Host really did find her beautiful, breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt good to be liked by other people. Even if you're a god knows how old system that works for the gods themselves.
So, she felt way more relieved and stopped scolding her Host. The system felt embarrassed at her scolding skills. The only two curses she could think of to scold the host were idiot and stupid, and that was also after a bit of brainstorming.
Did stupid and idiot even count as curses? Hm.. she needed to browse her Host's memories to find some curses.
Of Course, she would not touch any of his private memories. Unless they were interesting of course.
Harry smiled as the system had stopped scolding him. She seemed to have calmed down.
Anyway, what should he call her? He couldn't keep saying System for a girl could he? I mean, even though she really was a system, she had a girl's voice and even a girl's body. It would feel to weird if he kept calling her system now.
"Hey System, what's your name? I can't keep calling you system forever can I? After all, as far as I can see, your neither a robot nor a system. You do have a name, don't you?", Harry asked.
[Oh yes Host, I do. My name is Raelyn. You can call me Rae.]
"It's a good name. Rae it is then. And call me Harry too. It just feels weird if you call me Host. Also, start projecting your body.", Harry said.
[No! You'll just make fun of me!]
"I Won't. I'm sorry.", Harry apologized again.
[Fine.]
The girl that appeared in front of his eyes appeared again. Just when he was going to say something, the man that accompanied John walked through her.
Harry felt his heart lurch, and if not for the fact that he was usually level headed, he would have definitely been scared by that.
He reminded himself that the girl was just a projection to calm himself down and convince himself that he was not in a horror novel b- oopsies- that he was not in a horror movie.
