The place where I live now is better
The place we are in now is much better than before.
The last letter
With this belief, I wrote the last letter
——Quoted from Goodbye Cream
-1-
Because it was the first time I had exhausted all my strength, because it was the first time I appeared unconscious in front of the main system—
For the first time ever, Miss M had a long vacation.
-2-
In the past, she slacked off every day, came to work late and left early, and even when the main system begged her to come into the office, she would still sleep on the mountains of complaints.
But if the system world is truly threatened and some danger arises that needs to be resolved urgently, she will immediately appear and draw her sickle.
Ms. M does not have to abide by any regulations regarding "working hours."
But all of her time could become "work time."
Always on call and dedicated to his duties, he is a shepherd who can never really go far away no matter how much he plays.
-3-
Therefore, M, who seems to have never worked seriously, has never had such a thing as a "long vacation".
She actually didn't really like taking a vacation. Her usual work pressure was almost zero, but those jobs that could call her back urgently would definitely be fun and allow M to let go and have fun.
But this time, it was the main system and subordinates who forced her to take a vacation.
"You are seriously damaged," this is the main system's reason.
"You need to rest," this is the subordinate's excuse.
——Miss M was speechless.
After being torn to pieces, he immediately got up from the ground. In the end, he was killed so hard that he didn't even know where his limbs were... He never had a "vacation".
This little bit of energy loss is nothing.
-4-
But this logic cannot be explained to the other two.
Moreover, it seems that because the entire Eternal Life Society was wiped out, the Eternal Life Prison was destroyed in one fell swoop... Recently, the outer edge of the system world has been quite peaceful. The few powerful evil spirits have hidden themselves, and other guys with some ideas have also temporarily tucked their tails between their legs.
After her subordinates took over all the minor maintenance tasks, Ms. M really had no work to do.
“…So, what should you do during a long vacation?”
"You can go traveling. There are many vacation worlds to choose from under the system platform."
"But Xiao P is working overtime... I don't want to go to other worlds to play..."
"Then you can go exercise. The skateboard plazas or ski resorts in the IN zone of the system world are..."
"But Xiao P is working overtime. I don't like sports that don't involve bloodshed. They're so boring."
"...Okay, so what do you want to do?"
"If I could work from morning till night like in the movies—"
"Let me refuse, Ms. M. I need to work overtime."
“…”
-5-
So, after an ineffective discussion, Miss M looked at her boyfriend's back as he was bending over to put on his shoes at the entrance, and snorted in resentment.
"Xiao P is a scumbag. Xiao P won't play with me."
"I have to go to the operations department today to discuss something. When I get off work, I'll bring you a limited-time set meal toy from a fast food restaurant in your area. It's the toy you mentioned you couldn't get before, right?"
"Okay~ Xiao P, take care~ I want the pink little fan~"
"OK."
-6-
Mr. P said goodbye to his boss who had been a bit unreasonable every morning recently, and walked quickly into the maintenance department building.
That limited edition toy sold out very quickly, so if he wanted to get one, he had to leave work several hours early today.
...My boss has been acting a bit unreasonable lately. She acts as if she can't live without him, but in reality, she drags her sister around everywhere she goes every day.
"I really want to be with Xiao P," he said, but he dragged W out to hang out 24 hours a day. Sometimes he couldn't see her when he returned to the dormitory after overtime.
-7-
Mr. P more or less discovered that Miss M really has the talent of being an "emotional cheater".
She can say "I will die without you, woooo, woooo. When can you come home from get off work and play with me" without thinking, or she can immediately put on her shorts and jump off to the amusement park with a cat-tail bag on her back.
...He also took a photo with the model who played the prince in the park, posted a status update, @ed him, and used his card to tip the model.
-8-
Excessive.
That's too much.
Complain about the boss and the person you complain about.
-9-
…Actually, it was Miss M who took the photo with Miss W. Adhering to the idea of “my sister had never seen the prince, so I brought her here to see him,” the photo also featured W standing next to the actor who played the prince, while M was very close to the camera, revealing half of her face with her tongue out. That half of her face was still blurry, so you can imagine the blurry cat head emoji that seemed to be licking the camera with its tongue out.
But Mr. P doesn't care.
The facts in Mr. P's eyes can be summarized as "my girlfriend spent my money to take photos with a handsome model while I was working overtime."
-10-
And that blurry photo of her sticking out her tongue at the camera is very cute. Mr. P would be a little concerned if such a cute girlfriend and a prince actor appeared in the same photo.
But, okay.
He single-handedly handled all the work in the Horror Maintenance Department, and he was indeed busy working overtime, so he couldn't have the kind of intimate relationship with her that was typical of the passionate love period.
The newly awakened love brain told Mr. P, "I don't care if I'm angry, I want to stay with her every day. If I see her taking pictures with other handsome guys again, I'm going to lose my temper." But the rational brain, which has always been stable, said to Mr. P, "Your boss needs a vacation to recuperate. Only if you work hard can she continue to recuperate."
Mr. P combined the two and came up with the idea that “work is the most important. I should work first, improve my efficiency, and strive to create a business vacuum period. Then I can apply for vacation and legitimately prevent my boss from taking photos with other handsome guys.”
-11-
Besides, the playmate chosen by the boss recently is Miss W, and Miss W...
Mr. P stood still at the entrance of the terrifying maintenance department building.
Miss W was carrying a bag. She stood there straight, looking a little anxious.
Mr. P's rapid pace slowed down.
Miss W heard something and turned around.
——After seeing him, the faint anxiety, uneasiness, disgust or worry between W's brows settled down, and finally, he turned gentle again.
Fake, perfunctory, and too lazy to react strongly.
-12-
Miss W nodded politely: "Hello."
Mr. P knew why she came here today, but he still asked.
"Hello, senior. You are looking for me..."
"The main system asked me to come here, saying that I need you to check on my soul's recovery... After all, it was nurtured with your energy, so it's safer for you to check it yourself..."
That’s right.
Mr. P stretched out his hand, and the crimson lines and reddish light suddenly exploded, and then immediately gathered together.
"The healing rate is nearly 97%... The characteristics of the undead and the pollution of evil spirits in your soul have been completely eliminated... Yes, I think the results detected by the main system are correct."
Miss W was not surprised.
No matter how much he hated the vicious dog in front of him, he was still very confident in his professional level.
Besides, a guy like him would not bother to use tricks in this regard.
-13-
So Miss W handed him the bag with a distant look on her face.
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble during this period."
-14-
——Originally, he was allowed to stay here to recuperate because of his "damaged soul". After the repair was completed, he would of course leave again.
W does not meet the requirements of being an undead, nor is it a non-human, non-living monster.
And the system world where a hundred flowers bloom, free and seemingly harmless...
After all, it is a place set up by two monsters specifically for "after death".
-15-
Life cannot stay here for long.
Besides, she had found a home a long, long time ago.
Her family, children, grandchildren...that warm and peaceful grave...
Instead of here, where bizarreness, madness, death and blood are the everyday scenery.
She had accompanied M on various trips before, but it was just...
-16-
"OK."
Mr. P smiled slightly and replied very politely, "I'm glad that you're satisfied with this trip to visit your family. I wish you a safe journey and a peaceful sleep."
Miss W was stunned.
Then she smiled slightly.
"Okay. I'll give you my blessing."
-17-
Yes.
I was just really worried, so I came here to visit, for a short trip.
The trip was over, and she felt more or less relieved, so she went back to her home...that was all.
-18-
The last conversation between Mr. P and Ms. W ended like this.
-19-
——Sixteen and a half hours later, at night, eleven o'clock sharp.
He opened the door of his dormitory, holding the paper bag that W had given him when he left, a backpack stuffed with documents, and some fast food stuffed in plastic bags.
There were no lights on in the house and no curtains drawn. The moonlight shone through the window onto the floor, like a twisted pool of blood.
Mr. P first placed the paper bag flat on the cabinet, and then carefully put down the plastic bag containing the toys selected by his boss.
She should still be awake at this hour... or maybe she's still out playing with W... The two sisters seem to be planning to shop at all the clothing stores in the district today, and W, who's about to leave, will definitely be there for the whole trip...
Mr. P bent down to change his shoes, and when he stood up again, he saw Miss M.
-20-
She was standing on the first floor, her dark eyes gazing at him dimly, as if she were part of the darkness.
"I played with my sister all day today. Then, in the evening, I sent her home."
……oh.
Mr. P paused while changing his shoes, and after a moment, he straightened up again.
"Are you okay?"
"Huh? Of course, my sister just finished her trip and went home to sleep."
"oh……"
That's good.
Unexpected calmness.
This view on life and death, this attitude towards separation... Should I say, he is worthy of being a boss?
-twenty one-
After all, M has spanned perhaps billions of years. Although he looks frivolous and childish, he is actually quite mature.
Mr. P breathed a sigh of relief.
Miss W's final resting place was undoubtedly a peaceful sleep - but imagining the boss's reaction if faced with this matter again - he still had a headache.
Because it was M, it was beyond my expectations.
Very good……
-twenty two-
Mr. P walked towards the first floor where she was standing in his slippers: "I have bought the toys you entrusted to me this morning..."
His subsequent words got stuck in his throat.
Because Miss M bent her waist, clasped her hands and leaned against the railing, her body completely moved out of the darkness upstairs.
Moonlight shines through the window.
The moonlight shone on her through the window.
-twenty three-
Miss M's eyes were cold, her expression was gloomy, and her body was... naked.
She stood naked upstairs, leaning over the railing to look at him.
"Hey, Little P."
The boss ordered with a bored look on his face, "Come upstairs and hug me, from morning till night."
-twenty four-
Mr. P definitely didn't want this kind of surprise.
He looked away and took a step back quietly.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have to work overtime..."
"Come here. Otherwise I will kill you."!
