Ranking System

The guard had dressed him out in a hurry. Now that he was wearing a maid outfit, various expressions could be seen on his face. Not only was he humiliated on screen for everyone to see. He was also losing his mind.

"Time's ticking. One minute before the voting session ends."

I wonder how many people will vote. There wasn't much for me to do. I'm not here to entertain the guests.

"Linsey, there are six million behind inside an evacuation building. I bet some people won't believe that I could kill them. Do you believe I could do something like that?"

"Believe? I know you'll do it. You won't hesitate to bring extinction to this world if needed."

"Is that so? Then why don't we check the results?"

Five minutes were up, and the voting session was now closed to the public. Nene had the votes added up, and it was a one-sided vote. It was expected, but this was only the testing phase.

"The results are in. Let's see what everyone has put in."

"I heard there is a population of ten billion in this world, and seven billion had made a choice."

I had thought fewer people would vote because they didn't want to get involved. This was good, and now I could involve more people in the fate of this world.

"And here's the results!"

Looking at the results, it was one-sided. This was to be expected. Everyone could tell what the answer was. 96% Voted for Sid sacrificing Courtney, and the other 4% voted for something else.

"Now for the moment of truth. Sid, did you plan to sacrifice Courtney to kill the three of us?"

"I did... But it was for a good reason!"

Hearing his words, she couldn't help but stare at him, frozen. She couldn't believe he had said that right in front of her.

"For a good reason..."

She broke down. The words from Sid's words turned her into a robot repeating the exact words. Man, people's hatred for Sid gotta be the roof.

"Nene. Could you set up a chat device for the viewers? I want to hear what they have to say."

"Aye~!"

"So what is your reason?"

He mentioned a good reason, yet he hasn't said anything about it. Nene was configuring the device we were using to add a new feature. Now I was waiting for Sid's answer.

"I don't mind sacrificing anyone to keep my family safe."

"Even if it's her? She seems very close to you."

"..."

"My family is more important. My sister can't die."

"You sound like a siscon."

Anyways, I can't relate. Nene was done with her work, and on the screens, you could see words from viewers coming to fruition on the side of my angle.

Comments such as "How dare you hurt Courtney!" I don't know if that was for Sid or me. Possibly both.

"The votes are correct! No one in this city will die from me."

"Nene, you'll be my co-host. Go interview, Courtney."

"Yes~! Master~!"

After talking for a few minutes, I realized I had no talent for being a spokesperson. It was more like a one-person show with me talking to two uncooperative people.

Nene was much more assertive when it came to these kinds of things. So why not let her handle them?

"Master asked me to interview you~! What to ask first... How do you feel about your friend right now~?"

Despite all of this, Courtney didn't weep a tear hearing him say all of this. The broken words she said earlier were now gone, and I could feel an intense heartbeat coming out of her.

What action would she take? I released her from her weights, and she was now standing up. Without saying a word to Nene, she went up to the fallen Sid. Even the chat that was forced to watch this wanted to know what Courtney would do.

"Sid..."

"I always knew you loved your sister a tad too much. But I didn't know that I meant so little. I loved you, but I can't do so anymore. Let's not talk to each other anymore. It will be the best for both of us."

I was joking on the siscon part, but I never expected it, to be honest. As for her feelings, I could see why she reacted like that.

The chat was cursing Sid for being a sister fucker. Should I kill him to end his humiliation? No, he should live with it.

As for the other four people, they were still unresponsive. I executed them in a flash, leaving their corpses burnt into ashes. The cameraman paled, looking at the sight but never leaving his post.

"Sid. I was going to kill you, but you're already living in hell. I will transport you to the shelter with your family. Maybe you can fuck your sister there."

"Cry baby~! Could you answer my question now~?"

I don't know if she realized that she had already answered or was still angry about what Courtney had done earlier.

Courtney stood there glaring at Nene. Not wanting to answer, she turned her face away from her. It was a pretty insensitive question to ask how they felt when you know how they felt.

The chat was insulting Nene for her inhuman question, even though she wasn't human in the first place. Angry at the chat for doing so, I began their punishment.

"Nene. Linsey. I'm going to start the next game."

I forgot about Linsey for a second. She was berating the four people that were planning to bomb us. Now that they were dead, Linsey made fun of the cameraman.

"Everyone, this game will be much more dangerous than the other one. I promised the people of my world to take care of the top three of this world."

"For this second game, I will be making a deal."

I made my voice as ominous as it sounded. This deal would decide some parts of the future of their world.
