Sinner System-Chapter 414: Apostle Downtime (Part 2)

"Alright, guys, feel free to do whatever you want, consider it my way of thanking you for helping me survive the Monster world. Plus, things are nice and peaceful right now, so yeah, have fun while it lasts," I remarked with a smile.

"<Heh, you already know what I’m gonna do. I’ll be in the rec room for a few hours>!" Grinned Luxuria, before practically rushing that way, shutting the door behind her.

"<Is it cool if I go out to meet some friends later, Boss? It’s been ages since I’ve seen them, so I’m thinking of reaching out on social media and meeting up if they’re free>," Requested Invidia, as he showed Acedia how to generate the tangible holographic constructs, a pair of headphones appearing.

"Yeah, of course," I nodded with a thumbs up, as Acedia put the headphones on and closed his eyes.

His expression eased and relaxed after a few seconds, looking pleasantly surprised.

"<Oh, this is...quite nice>," He muttered, nodding along to the beat of the song he was listening to.

"<I’ll show you how to find more music, create playlists and stuff. If you know how to search for stuff, you can find just about anything online>," Remarked Invidia with a smile.

"<I see...very well, then. I believe this is worth expending a bit of effort towards>."

"<Mind if I use your training room, Kai? I’m still not a hundred percent used to my new body, got a few small kinks to work out>," Spoke up Superbia, as she manifested a green spear and swung it across.

Suddenly, the door to the rec room swung open, Luxuria poking her head out.

"<I heard someone talking about kinky stuff, I want in>!"

"<Uh, no, not that kind of kink, Luxuria>," Responded Superbia with a bemused smile.

"<Huh? Ohh, like as in imperfections? Never mind, then...>," Sighed Luxuria, looking a bit disappointed as she slipped back into the room and shut the door.

"How did she even hear that?" Uttered Aria incredulously.

"Guess she’s got a sixth sense for depravity," I responded with a shrug.

"<In a way, it’s sort of impressive. So, may I use the training room>?" Superbia asked me.

"Go ahead, knock yourself out. With how powerful Aria and I have gotten, we can’t get much use out of our training rooms since we don’t want to risk destroying the apartment complex," I responded sheepishly.

"Mhm, those rooms are just going to end up collecting dust at this rate, so it’ll be good for someone to get some use out of them," Nodded Aria in agreement.

"Oh, actually...take her with you," I suggested, as I gave Ai a light push.

"<Huh>?" She blurted out as she glanced back at me.

"Your stats are pretty high, but you’ve only fought once before, when you took control of my body. But your new body is a lot different to mine, so mimicking my muscle memory probably won’t be that effective. That aside, it’d be better long-term if you develop a combat sense of your own," I pointed out prudently. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"<I suppose that’s logically sound...>," She muttered, looking a bit apprehensive.

"Help her figure out what kind of fighting style and weapons suit her. She can use Command, but other than that, her only offensive option is direct physical attacks," I explained to Superbia.

"<Sure, leave it to me, I’ll whip her into shape for you>," Declared Superbia confidently, before adding as a look of dread appeared on Ai’s face, "<Come on, Ai, let’s go>."

"<I-...fine, if I must>," Ai relented with a sigh, before reluctantly following Superbia into the training room.

"Want me to show you how to use that, Ira?" I offered, as he tapped on the display with a perplexed look on his face.

"<Er, yes, Chief, if it isn’t too much trouble...I am having a bit of a tough time figuring this out>," He nodded apologetically.

"It’s cool. I mean, it’s only natural to have trouble with something that’s completely new to you. Let’s sit down, there’s a lot to cover, so this could take a while," I suggested, before taking a seat on the couch.

He followed my lead and took a seat to my right, before Aria approached and sat to my left.

"<Thank you, Chief, I appreciate it>."

"Mind if I ask why you call him Chief? All you guys picked something different to address him by," Chimed in Aria curiously.

"<Hm...it is a bit hard to explain, my Lady. It just...made sense to me, I suppose, after I became the Apostle of Wrath. In Elven culture, the leaders of our settlements were addressed as Chief, it is a title deserving of the highest respect, only the best among us were granted the position and title of Chief>."

"Cool, I see. Also, appreciate the ’my Lady’ title. The others don’t call me by any cool titles. Actually, Luxuria straight up addressed me with insults at first," Recalled Aria, letting out an exasperated sigh.

"<Well, as I see it...you are someone the Chief obviously cherishes and holds in high regard, so disrespecting you would be the same as disrespecting the Chief>."

"Want me to call you my Lady too?" I suggested with a slight smirk.

"Huh...yeah, maybe every now and then, I like how that sounds," She nodded, a slight gleam in her eyes.

Uh...think I might have accidentally awakened something in her. Well, I’ll worry about that later.

For now, I should get to teaching Ira how to use the device...

"Alright, let’s get started, shall we? As you’ve already figured out so far, you bring up the display by tapping on the device’s screen. These icons in the display are apps, different virtual spaces.

This one here is social media, you can use it to communicate with people all around the world, post thoughts, pictures and videos, interact with other people’s posts, and so on...it’ll probably be easier if I demonstrate while explaining," I remarked, as he nodded in fascination...
