Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 8: Black Humor Under the Rippling Water 6

It wasn’t an auditory hallucination!

Akikawa Sarana, who was originally leaning leisurely against the wall, stood up slightly straighter. She blinked her eyes slowly to hide the surprise in her eyes. She had previously thought that the sound she heard at the other side of the swimming pool was caused by hallucination due to her physical problems.

If it wasn't an auditory hallucination...

Akikawa Sarina returned to the position of leaning against the wall just now and sighed in her heart. It turned out that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Her ability to start over again in life really does come at a price, although she did not like this "free lunch from the sky".

It's no wonder she thinks so. From the few memories she has of her previous life, there are several systems in which she doesn't need to complete tasks. Moreover, her new life can't really be considered... Akikawa Sarana thought about her life in the past 28 years, and for a moment she didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Forget it, it's all over.

Thinking of the light novels she had read to kill time in this life and the vague memories from her previous life, Akikawa Sarana tried to call out in her mind, "System?"

The mechanical voice still answered Akikawa Sarana, but it sounded more emotional than before, no longer flat and flat. "Hello, host! Welcome back to the 'Punish evil and promote good, promote truth, goodness and beauty' system~"

Punish evil and promote good, promote truth, goodness and beauty... Akikawa Sarana ignored the tilde in the system's tone. She looked at the panel that appeared out of thin air in front of her, and looked at the dazzling red block on the panel. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Akikawa Sarana realized that she had been speechless too many times today and came to her senses. She then continued in her mind, "System, shouldn't you take a look at my identity first? Isn't 'punishing evil and promoting good, promoting truth, goodness and beauty' a bit too much for me?"

"Why, is there any problem with the host's identity? You are not..."

As Akikawa Sarana's inner thoughts fell, the system quickly responded. While it was replying to Akikawa Sarana's words, a series of sounds that were obviously retrieving data sounded.

Then, the system stopped what it had not finished saying. At this moment, everyone looked at the big words "Black Side" above the identity column of Akikawa Sarana on the panel and fell silent.

The next second, the system responded.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Host!!! How did your identity become the Black Party!!!”

......really.

Akikawa Sarana rubbed her ears. Although the system was in her head, its voice somehow sounded in her ears, and rubbing her ears could actually relieve the damage to her eardrums caused by the system. But this was also good, it was more comfortable than the system screaming in her head.

After slightly relieving the pain in her eardrums, Akikawa Sarana glanced at the busy policemen and the two nervous suspects beside her. It seemed that she would not be involved in this case for the time being, so she could continue to concentrate.

She lowered her eyes, seemingly looking at the ground, but in fact she was looking at the system panel in front of her that moved with her sight.

The system was still crying, but perhaps it noticed Sarina rubbing her ears, and its voice was much softer than before, "Host, why did you become the black side? Shouldn't you be the rising star of the red side? Host, are you so rebellious?"

Akikawa Sarina asked subconsciously, "I should be the rising star of the police force on the red side? And, a rebel?"

"Yes, according to your identity plan, you should be a rising star in the Metropolitan Police Department..."

Akikawa Sarina's inner voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? With my parents' identities, how could I possibly be a member of the police? And even if I am a rising star in the red police force, I am probably an undercover agent arranged by the organization in the police force."

The system continued to look through the information of its host, and said as it did so: "The identity of the host's parents? I was just wondering... Host, how come you became the black side when your parents are police officers? When we were bound after you died in your previous life, you were still on the red side..."

"Wait, host, your parents...how come your parents are also on the Black Side?"

"Are they also on the black side? After hearing what you said just now, I thought my parents were undercover agents organized by the police. Oh... my expectations were in vain."

How could Akikawa Sarana not expect to have a normal identity? She had fantasized about this possibility more than once since the day she was taken away from Kanagawa by the organization. Unfortunately, fantasies are just fantasies. Her identity was determined from the day she was born in this life.

When she was a child, she did not have the ability to escape from the organization. Even now, she is just trying to run away. If her escape plan fails, the best outcome that awaits her is death. In the worst case, she will probably become a drug testing tool for the organization.

Everyone and the system sighed at the same time, Akikawa Sarina was disappointed, while the system was desperate.

The desperate system did not even bother to think about why its host could still joke about such a thing. It continued to mutter, "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do with the main system's mission? Not only is the identity wrong, but even..."

Akikawa Sarana felt a little tired, both physically and mentally.

She shifted her center of gravity and leaned her back against the wall. "What mission? I'm free anyway, so why don't you show me the mission, System?"

"It's useless to look at it, host. We can't even complete the main mission of the first stage..."

The system's voice sounded like it was in a state of collapse. When it was looking through the host's files, it discovered that it had gotten the time wrong when it released the host before its energy ran out!

After hearing the system crash like this, Akikawa Sarana, who was even more curious about what the system tasks were, comforted the system in her heart, "Let me take a look. How can you give up before the end? Besides, if you can't complete the main quest, there are still side quests. I read in novels that other systems have side quests, so you should have them too, right? Side quests are also quests."

"It is true that there are side quests, but we definitely cannot complete the main quest. The target of the first round of quests may even have grass on his grave now..."

"Oh, now that I'm here..."

Hearing its host say this, the system stopped its frustrated words and said, "Okay, host, please wait a moment."

It pulled out the task list without any expectation, and then the system froze, and after a moment...

The voice that had just attacked Akikawa Sarina's eardrum came again, "Host!!! How did you do it!!! You have already completed the fourth ring of the main mission!!!"

? ? ? ah?

This is Akikawa Sarana who found the key point in the system's surprise scream. She was also a little confused. What did the system say? What did it mean that she had already achieved the fourth ring? Didn't it just say that the first mission target was the grave grass... Although it didn't finish its words, she guessed what was behind it. It must be that the first mission was to save people. Because of the time problem, the first mission target was probably dead long ago.

How did she suddenly complete four of them? Could it be that one of the people she had saved before was her target? And there was more than one?

"Host, look, you have completed four main tasks!"

As the system's voice fell, the panel in front of Akikawa Sarana also changed. It looked like a task record, and four completed tasks were clearly displayed on it.

When she saw the names of the completed tasks on the panel, Akikawa Sarina's pupils shrank suddenly. It was not for anything else, but because these four people were her few acquaintances or friends.

She could understand that the second and fourth tasks were counted as her completion, after all, the two of them were able to survive in that situation because of her help.

But... what's wrong with you two, Hagiwara and Matsuda? Why are you on this list of completed tasks, and at the first and third positions!!!
