What year has passed?
No matter how many years pass, don't forget me
The last one is the last one
Until the end I won't let you skip me

A week later, the main system realized that M was going crazy outside.
It was a week after her husband formally filed for divorce, and also a week after she wanted to put her dog directly into a cage, but found that the dog had disappeared out of thin air.
-2-
...It's not actually the main system's fault for the delayed information. After all, M never stops going crazy. It's hard for it to distinguish between this mentally ill person's "normal madness" and "abnormal madness"—
And, let's be honest, the systems world is really busy.
Almost all worlds have the need to communicate with the system world about their business, but only two people have the highest authority to coordinate and plan the system world.
It is related to M.
M, on the other hand, knew nothing about detailed data manipulation. Although he was said to be the supreme controller, he was actually just a banner.
Mark the flag that says "Don't mess with me."
All detailed work behind the flag can only be operated by the main system.
Of course, the main system has been persecuted by M for too long, and it has long given up hope in M's business capabilities. As long as she doesn't go crazy and stays honestly, she will be a great help.
...The problem is that she goes crazy every day.
The reasons for going crazy range from "The rainy sky is so annoying" to "That greasy trash in the purchasing department actually claims to be my boyfriend", and there are thousands and thousands of them.
-3-
Therefore, when M began to slaughter evil spirits indiscriminately, the main system did not react immediately.
...Killing a few more evil spirits is actually not a big deal. Evil spirits are often the natural enemies of employees. There is no provision for "protecting evil spirits" in the employee handbook of the system world, so the main system did not take it to heart at first.
Until it discovered that M was wandering in the void outside the world.
-4-
For a long time, M always talked about "going for a one-night stand" and then enthusiastically and happily stepped into a certain human world - from once every few months to once a month, then once every two weeks, and then to as soon as work was finished -
M hasn't wandered in the void outside of the various worlds for a long time. Apart from work, her coordinates always stay in that world, as if the greatest pleasure she has discovered so far is hidden there.
It's like a wanderer has found a little nest where he wants to stay and curl up.
...Of course, according to M's own smug statement, she was "busy playing with the cute puppy."
-5-
This is how the main system detects something is wrong: M would rather skip work and go to that world regularly to "play with the puppy", but now her coordinates have been wandering in nothingness for a whole week, and she occasionally destroys a large piece of the horror world mark.
Did her dog get lost or die?
The main system had to put down the work at hand and go over to check the situation.
"M's dog ran away" is more serious than "M wants to kill all evil spirits", yes, of course.
However, when the main system opened the space channel with a heavy heart and located M's coordinates ("How about I make an exception and get her a dog in the system world"), it immediately heard -
"Is he crazy?!"
M was sitting among a pile of small notes, grabbing his hair and muttering to himself, "Hurry up and tell me the location, hurry up and come back, hurry up and retract the divorce nonsense—why is he saying all this nonsense? He's totally unreasonable!"
-6-
The last word "unreasonable" was roared out by her in a low voice, and from the tone of her voice it seemed that she had roared it many times - while saying this word, she clenched her fists and hit the sickle at hand again and again.
The black shadow sickle that is feared by the world has been hammered into a small hole.
The main system... The main system shook silently, turned its head silently, and retracted into the space channel.
-7-
It has worked with M for many years and knows very well when to retreat immediately.
This is not its business.
"He's just—just—Oh, by chance, you're here!"
M turned his head, his face flushed. "Come here! Take a look at this ridiculous nonsense and judge for yourself!"
She was so angry that she forgot to call it data garbage.
...The situation is extremely urgent!
-8-
The small indigo ball of light shrank, wanting to shrink itself into a part of nothingness.
But M had already reached out and grabbed it - she must have been furious.
"Look! Look at these—these—" She pointed at the small slips of paper, and after retracting her fingers, she immediately scratched the sickle with a rattling sound, as if she was going to tear someone's sofa cushions: "Look at this—it's unreasonable!
”
…The main system had no choice but to take a look.
It was afraid that if it didn't look at M, M would scratch its face - although it had no face - but at this moment, M really looked like it was going to pounce and scratch someone's face.
The little notes seemed very convenient, just a quick glance: there were many of them, with concise words, piled up on M's knees, palms, legs, skirts, and even a few fell in her hair, like some snowflakes thrown down by a huge truck.
-9-
These little pieces of paper read:
【Like You】
I like you so much
I like you very much
I really like you
Can you also like me more actively?
【Like You】
【I really, really like you more than ever before】
-10-
Main system: “…”
Main System: "The puppy you raised before can actually write."
As the origin of the world, a sophisticated machine, it only took a glance and was almost overwhelmed by [like].
…What kind of overwhelming puppy literature is this!
The puppy eyes and barking come to life on these little pieces of paper!
Why is M using this kind of extremely frank and straightforward content, which would make outsiders almost dizzy with pink bubbles at a glance?
"Is he being unreasonable?! Is he crazy?!"
M sat cross-legged among a note filled with "likes" and scratched his hair: "I told him to come back immediately and withdraw the divorce application - why did he only send me this response??"
-11-
She said very loudly, "Of course I know he likes me very much! I don't need all this stuff that I already knew - if he wants to say we can find a bed somewhere and stay under the covers a thousand times - what I need now is for him to come back to me right now!!"
Main system: “…”
"Okay, okay, if he insists on using this method of contact, I can just write little notes. I kept writing to him, "Tell me where you are," "Come back," "Come back immediately"—but all he replied to me was this nonsense! This is ridiculous nonsense!!"
Main system: “…”
-12-
The main system fell silent.
M angrily slapped her sickle—it seemed like she would rather hammer the hard sickle than the fragile little pieces of paper around her—
"What on earth does he mean! He's crazy, I knew it. He was crazy when he asked me for a divorce, and his response now is also unreasonable - he finally let me know that he can still write and contact me, and finally let me know that he was not killed by the undead - but he only sent me these things that I already knew - he kept sending them - and he didn't even answer the questions I asked -"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, her face flushed red, and her hammer-and-sickle fist also turned slightly red.
It had never seen M so excited.
but……
-13-
"Hey! Judge for yourself! This bastard—the little dog—he's being unreasonable, isn't he?!"
"no."
The main system said very calmly. At this moment, its tone and thinking were very similar to its creator:
"He's fine. The problem is you, M, you clueless idiot who knows nothing about relationships."
-14-
M is stuck.
She stared at the small crimson ball of light, so shocked that she forgot to be angry.
"You—I—you—what did you say about me?"
"Call you an idiot."
Main System: "Just fall in love, why don't you even understand the basic steps of confession?"
-15-
"When you receive an overwhelming barrage of repetitive 'likes,' the first thing you should do is, of course, respond with 'I like you too' or 'Sorry, I don't like you.' Even a machine knows this."
This guy who kept writing so many "likes" and sending them to me must be very brave, but he was also very saddened by you.
Who can resist the sadness of having no reply to a confession, ignore the rude command of "Come back immediately", and continue to express his or her love forcefully and directly?
-16-
Received [Like].
The first thing you need to do is reply to this "like" response.
The main system said, "You're such an idiot, M. If I understand the situation correctly, write a reply to your sad ex over there immediately, or he'll give up on you completely."
M opened his mouth and closed it again.
She seemed very annoyed and wanted to refute something - but she also seemed very confused, because of what the main system pointed out, and because of something she had felt more clearly than in the past few days.
M held it in for a long time.
In the end, he subconsciously murmured: "What ex? He is my dog, my partner. Divorce is just something he said casually. What ex..."
Not an ex. Never.
As the main system of the machine without emotions: "If you do this again and your brain goes astray, you will be an idiot who is not in a serious relationship, and he will become your ex."
“…”
"I don't really know who that guy is, nor do I know what happened between you and him, but he will definitely find someone who is willing to have a serious relationship with him. The guy you like must be very outstanding, and he will definitely have no shortage of admirers."
-17-
M took a deep breath.
Then she said nothing more, grabbed the blank piece of paper, and wrote quickly:
I like you too
Tell me where you are
[No nightclubs allowed]
She suddenly threw the note into the small dark blue hole next to it, with a conflicted and resolute expression on her face, as if she was about to throw a basketball into a badminton racket.
It feels outrageous, but I subconsciously look forward to the result.
-18-
The main system spent several minutes with her in silence.
A few minutes later, another small note was thrown over.
M immediately opened——
You lied to me, I don't believe it.
M: “…”
Main system: “…”
The second note that followed immediately read: [Who is next to you giving you advice and making you realize that you should answer "I like you"?]
The third one: [There is no sincerity in your confession reply. I only read it as a hasty perfunctory response.]
The fourth picture: [Anyway, your new bed partner is very good at giving advice, so you can just go have sex with him.]
M: “…”
Main system: “…”
"... Look! Look! Is he—"
"Yeah. Yeah. He's starting to be unreasonable now."
What unreasonable behavior, what nonsense.
The main system pondered for a moment: "I think he's very troublesome, how about you..."
Or you might as well just give up. You'll definitely get tired of this type of person who is sensitive, delicate and jealous after just a few days of getting along with her.
But M frowned and waved his hand - the fifth small note was thrown over.
-19-
There was nothing written on the fifth note.
A wet ink stain and an irregular water mark.
...Could it be tears?
Then, the sixth note -
It was still "I don't believe it", but this time, there were many bars across the "I don't believe it".
The kind of bar that can express a strong intention to delete, but can also clearly show the deleted content.
Finally, there is the seventh note.
【I'm sorry, I was just being unreasonable.】
"I'll be right back. You don't have to pick me up."
M: “…”
Main system: “…”
-20-
"Is he..."
M grabbed the note and looked up blankly: "He cried?"
"...Why is he crying? Did I make him cry?"
"What should I do... [I like you]... Write a few more replies... What should I do... [I really, really like you, I'm not being perfunctory]... Hey, do you know how to comfort your partner? He, he's crying... He never cries..."
She shook her head left and right, as if seeking help from some love god—
Following the "extremely excited and angry M", the main system saw M who was completely panicked.
The sickle in her hand creaked as it was gripped tightly.
"Okay, okay, if he wants a divorce, then let him get a divorce... If he doesn't want to come back, then don't come back... I can go and get him back again... You can get remarried after a divorce... Let him do whatever he wants, why is he crying for no reason... Hey, hey, do you know how to comfort someone in this situation?"
-twenty one-
The main system couldn't help but shrink itself, just like when it first saw the excited M, it subconsciously had an instinct to "escape".
The machines saw it all, a kind of abacus where the beads broke apart and slowly unfolded into an incredibly fine net.
