Isn't a System Just a Tool?

That's normal.

After all, what happened today was clearly no longer a small-scale matter like arresting criminals on a regular basis.

The number of Reunion Movement members we've seen is already quite large... not to mention the group Maria stopped last time.

The two groups together numbered several hundred.

This is only what has been exposed so far.

God knows how many people from the Reunion Movement have actually infiltrated Lungmen.

And then there are the increasingly frequent terrorist attacks these days... Although these are only incidents occurring on the outskirts of Lungmen, they are enough to cause panic within Lungmen itself.

This is no ordinary case; the Lungmen Guard Department must take decisive action!

As key operators in the Lungmen Guard Department, Chen and Hoshiguma bear a heavy responsibility, and it's estimated that they probably won't have time to come back for the next few days.

This is a rare opportunity for Maria to have some rest outside of combat.

Unfortunately, Maria had absolutely no idea what to do with this precious rest time that would be invaluable to ordinary people.

After all, in the past, she was either killing people or preparing for the next time she would kill someone.

Resting was just finding a seemingly safe spot to sit on the ground and doze off for a while.

Now that she suddenly has time to herself, she's really a little lost.

That being said...

What should a normal person do at this time?

Maria was momentarily confused.

She just sat there on the sofa, lost in thought, completely bored.

My mind is blank, as if there's nothing there.

This continued until even the Doll hidden in her mind could no longer contain itself.

That gentle female voice, tinged with a hint of reproach, echoed in Maria's mind.

Even so, you've never thought of me? Ruthless Hunter?

The Doll's voice was clear and calm, yet a hint of melancholy could be faintly heard.

Even when she's so bored, even when she's just sitting there spacing out, doesn't Maria want to chat with her or do anything else to relax?

Just sitting like this?

"Doll?"

Maria, somewhat bewildered, couldn't quite understand why the Doll was reacting at this moment... or rather, in some ways, the Doll was truly like the missing part of her, more like a living person than she was.

At least, if it were Maria, she definitely wouldn't say anything at this point.

After hesitating for a moment, Maria closed her eyes and once again entered Yharnam in her dream.

The decorations here are the same as when Maria visited a few days ago.

The only difference is that this time, the strange geometric shape has its own appearance.

In appearance, she is like a miniature version of Maria, still with a sharp edge between her brows, but unlike Maria herself, she doesn't have that aggressive demeanor in battle.

Instead, it gained a touch of the gentle grace of Doll.

Ultimately, however, the Doll's appearance is not much different from Maria's.

All I can say is that if you put the three of them together, they are more like sisters.

Maria is the eldest sister, the Doll is the second eldest sister, and this strange system is the youngest sister.

Of course, for the Doll, she actually prefers to be perceived as having a more intimate relationship.

Of course, we'll have to talk about these things later.

Doll wants to do now is complain about Maria.

"Even when you have nothing to do, you're not willing to talk to me a little longer, you heartless Hunter?"

The Doll raised its cold and alluring eyes, looking at Maria in front of it with a reproachful expression.

To be fair, Maria is excellent in combat, but in daily life, the Doll is far more capable than her.

At least, Maria couldn't express herself with the same subtlety and richness as the other person.

But... this is perhaps something I need to face.

After all, he was no longer in Yharnam.

Continuing to be cold-hearted is not a good solution.

The events in Texas served as a reminder to Maria that continuing with her past attitude would only complicate many interpersonal relationships.

She doesn't know what Texas remembers her as.

But she knew that if she had been more gentle in her interactions with him about his past, their relationship would have been more harmonious and natural when they met now.

Instead of being at such a delicate juncture as it is now.

Lost in thought, Maria suddenly stood up as well.

The Doll seemed a little confused by Maria's actions.

But even faster, she couldn't speak anymore.

Slender fingers casually pressed down on her shoulder, gently cornering her against the wall.

Long, slender legs gently slipped through the Doll's legs, restricting her movement.

His tall figure easily compressed her breathing space, and the two bodies rubbed tightly against each other.

A flawless face, so close to the Doll.

His grey eyes stared unwaveringly into hers.

Their breathing became increasingly intimate...

No...

This...

Chapter 79 A system is just a tool, isn't it?

My breathing became rapid...

The Doll knew she shouldn't have any emotions; she was merely a tool to serve Maria, and everything about her, including her life, belonged to Maria as her private property.

Even so, she still couldn't suppress a certain flutter in her heart.

She was created, something that belonged to Maria.

Even though she repeatedly brainwashed herself and told herself not to overstep her bounds in any way,

But in reality, having already regained her rationality, she had developed many outrageous and even somewhat perverse desires.

Countless scenes rehearsed in her mind countless times. Beneath her seemingly calm and serene exterior lay a kind of unsatisfied desire no less intense than Maria's during battle.

She always tried her best to restrain those desires, always showing her gentlest and most beautiful side, becoming a fulcrum for Maria in that nightmare of Yharnam.

And she never asked anything of the other party.

Although for her, seeing Maria sleeping peacefully beside her was the greatest satisfaction, she would occasionally... really only occasionally, crave a little more intimate contact.

But...

Wasn't this intimate contact a bit too sudden?

"... Hunter."

The Doll pursed her lips, her bright eyes gazing at Maria, who was standing incredibly close to her.

Her graceful figure, inherited from the other woman, swayed slightly, causing her elegant skirt to sway.

She felt her body was out of control; as Maria's body drew closer, the soft sensation against the stiff fabric of her clothes was a reaction from her entire body.

She felt like a lump of clay, being kneaded and shaped by Maria little by little, roughly and without any controversy.

A very tough stance, but... she wanted to be even more brutal and savage.

Her slender arms, wrapped in fabric, rose slightly and gently embraced Maria's delicate waist... This was the first time she had touched such a special spot on her, yet it stirred her heart.

She felt she was ready.

The system, Little Regret, watched the Doll's actions with embarrassment. Although she covered her face with her hands, she didn't cover her eyes at all.

Is this something I can watch for free?!

If your child enjoys it, please continue exploring.

Don't worry about it!

Unfortunately, Maria didn't think much about the relationship between the two people present. She just looked at the Doll with her arm around her waist with a puzzled expression, and then looked at the other person.

"What's wrong? The Doll?"

"..." The Doll bit her lip shyly.

"It's a little itchy."

As Maria spoke, amidst the Doll's somewhat shocked and disappointed gaze, she disengaged from the doll's embrace.

The tenderness and intimacy she had just experienced seemed like an illusion to her; Maria felt nothing for it.

This Doll quite sad.

However, Maria remained the same as always.

After carefully observing the Doll's delicate and subtle expressions, Maria realized something.

I probably can't learn this kind of thing yet.

This is a sentimental emotion... it spreads from the depths of the heart and ultimately manifests in the body, requiring a person to have delicate feelings as its foundation.

Unfortunately, Maria may have once had such feelings, but now her thinking is incredibly straightforward.

It is single-threaded.

From these perspectives, the Doll might seem more like a person than she is.

After thinking for a while, Maria shook her head and sat back down in her seat.

The Doll watched Maria's retreating figure from afar, then sighed.

Too.

If he really received Maria's hug just like that, then the hug would be far too cheap.

It will probably take a long time for Maria to do anything on her own initiative... a long enough time to erase all of Yharnam's influence on her.

But that doesn't matter.

Her time with Maria, even now, can only be described as having just begun.

There's no need to rush things right now.

The Doll pondered for a moment, then straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes, regaining her gentle and graceful demeanor, and sat down in front of Maria.

"So, ruthless Hunter, what are your plans next?"

The Doll spoke, its appearance unchanged, but its words were full of complaints.

Maria didn't know how she had become a ruthless Hunter, but her simple nature prevented her from thinking too much. After a few moments of silence, she shook her head in distress.

"There are a lot of things to do, so I'm not sure what to do next."

"It's certain that there are still some things I haven't fully explored hidden in that forest, most likely Great Beast... I still want to go back there and observe them."

"But now, many things are holding me back."

"I need a large sum of money...this is not something that can be done in a short time."

"There are still questions about this world. Even now, I'm not entirely clear on what Oripathy is, whether it's related to Beastification... or whether there are no pure humans in this world."

"Finally, there's that girl named Misha. She entrusted me with a task, and although there's no reward for it, you should know that I'm not the kind of person who likes to break promises."

Maria spoke slowly, her words tinged with hesitation and regret.
