Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 107 106. Leave It To Me.
Stan's smile became stiff as he stared at the blond girl standing in front of him. He tried recalling her name from the storyline he had read. Ah, Amelia.
He opened his mouth and said, "Amelia, what brings you here?"
The blond girl pouted and replied, "I'm your cousin living in the same city. Can't I come to visit you?"
"Sure, but why now out of all days?"
The girl tilted her head. "Eh? Didn't you tell me you went for the interview? How did it go?" her eyes lit up. "You got the job, didn't you? I knew it! My friend told me about the job and I just knew it was meant for you!"
"Your friend?" Stan caught the word and frowned.
"Ask about this friend," Shane uttered and his host did as told.
Amelia pursed her lips. "Actually, he's not a close friend, just a colleague. He had told me about this opportunity early in the morning and I thought I should tell you about it…."
"What's his name?"
"Sam."
Stan thought hard about it, but he soon realized that he hadn't heard that name in the storyline and smiled. "Forget about it. Do you want to eat something?"
"Why are you being so polite?" Amelia was surprised as she shook her head. "Nevermind. I don't want to have anything to do with you. Goodbye! People forget their well-wishers! Hmph! Hmph!"
After acting like a little spoilt kid, she waved her hand and said, "I'll go home since you don't want me."
Before she could step outside the apartment, Stan blurted out: "Wait!"
Why did he stop the girl? He tilted his head.
He sighed. "I didn't get the job."
"Why?"
"Because the interview was already over! I had to wear f*cking men's clothes for that! Do you know how embarrassing that was for me? Everyone was weirdly looking at me! I hate you for doing this to me!"
Amelia doubled over laughter as her shoulders shook. "I wish I had snapped your pic back then! It would have been so funny!"
"Damn funny!" Stan gritted his teeth.
Was it funny to force him into that kind of situation? He had to watch several people burn, and he could do nothing about it!
"Fine, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about it?" Amelia pulled out her card. "I'll pay! And before that, we'll go to the amusement park as compensation."
"What, am I a three-year-old?" Stan scoffed, but being a teenager, he still anticipated going to the amusement park.
While the two were having this conversation, Shane leaned back and narrowed his eyes. His host was so naive that he almost wanted to murder the teenager.
Didn't he see something wrong with Amelia's sudden appearance? He had just seen the villain standing outside, and the moment he disappeared, Amelia walked over and knocked on the door. Was it just a coincidence?
Shane didn't think so.
He crossed his arms on his chest and continued watching. He had no plans of telling his host about his suspicions. The poor teenager wouldn't be able to act naturally and would surely get caught by Amelia considering the fact that she was a villain.
The two 'girls' happily went to the amusement park. Stan seemed to have become a female himself, forgetting about his mission in this world. Shane sighed.
"Host, did you forget your mission?"
Those words irritated Stan so much that he ignored his system and continued playing with Amelia. According to this teenager, this cousin of his was so cool!
He wished he had a sister like that!
The two people played well together the entire day, and Shane didn't continue to bother his host with his words. He also wanted to keep an eye on the girl. So what was better than the current opportunity?
As he thought, there was something wrong with the girl's personality. The entire time she continued to try and take control of the host by hook or by crook. The worse thing was that his naive host didn't even realize that he was being led around the nose.
In the end, Stan himself didn't realize that it was already late at night by the time they ate dinner and went back. Finally, Amelia waved at her cousin and walked away, leaving Stan alone in the alley closer to his apartment.
Cold wind passed through his delicate girl's body as he rubbed his arms. "It's so cold. System, If I make a wish to stay here forever after finishing my mission, can you fulfill it?"
Shane didn't answer directly. He knew that his answer wouldn't satisfy his host, but he still decided to warn the man.
"You may not say the same after actually finishing the mission."
"What do you mean?" Stan raised his brows.
"Nothing. Just go to sleep."
There was one more thing that Shane hadn't told his host. Marvin had been following the teenager for the entire day, hiding in the shadows. Of course, Stan was still a little kid and naive in many cases. So it was quite normal for the teenager to not notice such a big man following him around everywhere.
But Shane noticed the protagonist, but he decided not to tell his host about it. Only when they reached the apartment did he open his mouth.
"Host, Marvin has been following you around for the day."
As soon as those words escaped Shane's lips, he saw his host's body getting stiffened. "What did you just say?"
"The protagonist is following you for a long time. You didn't realize it, did you?"
"Is he looking at me right now?"
"No. He went home." Shane sighed. "That's the reason why I told you the truth. Otherwise, you would definitely give yourself up on your petty acting skills."
"But… won't he misunderstand?" Stan was worried about something completely different. "I just suffered an attack and got severely injured, yet I'm here the next day, completely fine."
"I know what you're worried about. I have a plan. So just do as I say."
"Amelia…." Stan hesitated and asked, "Will she be in danger?"
Shane rolled his eyes as he wanted to hit his host in his head. "Yeah. so better stay away from her from now on."
"You're right." Stan naively nodded and went to the bathroom to prepare for bed.
Actually, Marvin, that perverted guy, was still keeping an eye from outside the window, hanging upside down. Shane again lied, but he didn't feel even an ounce of shame in his heart upon thinking of this.
Now was the time to wrap up this world and find another job. He had been here for a few days already.
The next morning.
Stan woke up and stretched his body as he finished his morning routine. He did everything the same way he would do every day, but today, he felt ill at ease.
He could feel someone's eyes boring into him. So he would constantly glance toward the balcony with a frown on his face. Then he shook his head.
He was probably just imagining things. To make himself feel better, he called out to his system.
"System," said Stan, "what happens after this in the storyline?" ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
"The story takes a completely different route. The girl originally doesn't have Marvin's attention because of her gloomy personality. So she truly becomes a villain saying since Marvin thinks she's the reason for their deaths, she would really become one. So the next day, she actually goes to another garden and wreaks havoc." Shane paused and continued. "Since things have changed, I'd like to see what the villain is going to do."
Before Shane could continue saying anything, Stan's cell phone rang. He picked it up.
"Miss Rose?"
A rough manly voice spoke through the speaker. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
"Who's this?" Stan frowned.
Since the storyline had changed, he could feel a hint of anxiety in his heart.
"Come to the nearest police station. We want to confirm something."
Stan's eyes widened. So this was it. That was probably why he was feeling like that. He pursed his lips and thought about what he should say.
"Host, Marvin is still here," Shane spoke those words directly without hiding, knowing it would make the teenager even more nervous.
That was actually what Shane wanted.
As expected. Stan's face paled as he stuttered, "Wh-What do you mean?"
"If you don't arrive within the next hour, you'll become a fugitive and be arrested for killing a hundred people in the garden yesterday. So please, cooperate with us."
Even though Stan was just a naive teenager, he could tell that they were only threatening him. Police wouldn't just get anyone behind the bars without any evidence. Still, Stan couldn't help but feel his heart thudding in his chest as his breathing went erratic.
"Okay…. I'll come."
After that, he hung up the call and asked, "System, what should we do?"
"Let's wrap things up. It's time to give you a very nice ending."
"Huh?" Stan was stunned. "So, the mission is going to be accomplished? How?"
"Leave it to me." The corners of Shane's lips curved up.
