To be honest.
Even the system didn't understand why it was so stubborn about this.
In its very first class at the System Academy, its teacher had emphasized just one thing over and over.
Never develop any feelings for your host!
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness—none of those were emotions a system should have.
A system and its host were simply using each other to get what they needed.
The host relied on the system to grow stronger, while the system relied on the host to harvest world essence.
All they needed was to keep their accounts settled, with neither owing the other anything.
That way, once the transaction was complete and it was time to leave.
They could part on good terms without any feelings involved, which was best for everyone.
But the system had clearly violated that principle.
After learning of Obito's "ending."
The system couldn't just turn its back and leave without a care!
It had hesitated, agonized, and struggled...
That was also why it had lashed out at Obito earlier.
The system didn't understand why it wanted to expend its essence to help Obito.
It had no obligation to do so, but it... had done it anyway!
Host, this is the last time I can help you.
I hope one of these rewards can help you change your fate.
The system thought silently.
All the essence it had saved up in this world.
Together with the essence it had earned in other worlds, it had staked everything on this choice!
With its essence exhausted, it had no choice but to leave this world!
Obito sighed, an indescribable melancholy settling in his heart.
ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.
He spoke dejectedly.
"I understand, system bro... will we ever meet again?"
The system remained silent.
It didn't know how to answer Obito.
