Chapter 6 - 6: Plundering Protagonist system

*Kenichi Saruyama POV*

I don't know what I was expecting to feel. When the voice on the other side of the phone told me that the will of the world was the one responsible for my parents death. I expected to grow mad with fury, I expected to feel like I wanted to kill him, but I didn't. I didn't really feel anything. I just kinda felt…empty.

"The will of the world killed my parents?" 

"Yes, in a way. It influenced certain people to take action against your parents. Granted it wasn't like the people needed a big push, just a slight nudge."

"Do you know who?"

"I do, but I won't tell you. If we hand you everything you won't exactly get strong enough to kill your parents' killer."

"I guess. …How do I get strong enough to?" I couldn't see my eyes but I'm sure they were burning with a passion as I asked this.

"Just take that pill and we'll talk about it." The pill on the table, it seemed too good to be true, was this how it was supposed to go. Was I supposed to take this pill and be their puppet? Was this what my parents would have wanted? For me to be the puppet of some mysterious man, to get revenge only by giving up my freedom? 

"Not like you had much freedom before this." Lilith's boss said through the phone, did he just read my mind?

"No I didn't read your mind, I can just tell what you're thinking, it's what most people would think in your situation."

"Stop doing that." 

"Haha, sorry. So are you going to take the pill or not?"

"I-I'll take it." my voice was soft, I could hardly hear the words as they passed my lips.

"Okay." I could hear his smile through the phone. 

I brought the pill to my mouth, dropped it onto my tongue, took a drink of water, and swallowed it down. 

Nothing happened, I don't

"What the hell is this thing?"

"This is your system, it's called the plundering protagonist system. It will allow you to steal plot armor from protagonists." 

"..." What he just said made me think, something about the existence of this power made me feel anxious. "If you guys have the ability to steal plot armor, why didn't the will of the world steal the plot armor from my great+ grandmother?"

"In truth, we don't know. It's possible that we have a power W.O.W doesn't or it's possible that the will of the world simply can't."

"I see, well If I'm going to kill W.O.W you better tell me how this thing works."

"Of course," So he began to explain to me all about the system.

*Yuuki Rito POV*

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." My thoughts raced, I couldn't keep my mind straight. I stared at the girl in front of me, her silky blue hair, her gentle gaze, her everything was perfect. She carried herself with a grace uncommon in high schoolers. Her cheeks had a slight blush about them as she gracefully swept her hair behind her ear.

"Something the matter, Yuuki?" She turned her gentle gaze toward me, her purple pupils, filled with a beauty even the stars couldn't grasp.

"Everything's perfect." I unconsciously mumbled under my breath. 

"What did you say?" She asked, her voice carried itself like a gentle wind crafted by angles. But the contents of her words scared me, she had heard me.

"Uhhh, I said, Saruyama was acting weird today, don't you think?" WHY DID I SAY THAT? Saying that right now is like a striker missing the winning game ball. It wasn't this hard to talk to her back in junior high!

"W-was he? I hadn't really noticed." She averted her eyes, her beautiful snow white skin turned a slight shade of red. 

"Are you sick?" I looked at her blushed cheeks.

"N-no it's just hot out." her actions were panicked, her hair she had just tucked back fell forward again. Hiding her red ears.

"You don't look good, er I mean you do look good. It's just that you…look, yeah you look." Welp that was embarrassing, time to dig a hole and probably die in it.

"Haha~ Yukki I'm fine really. We just left the infirmary not even five minutes ago. If I had felt unwell then I would have asked Hasegawa-Sensei to get me some medicine." She laughed, she laughed like an angel, beautiful and graceful. Haruna was my angel.

*Sairenji haruna POV*

"Wow, I can't believe it. I did it…I walked home with Yuuki!" I smiled stupidly at the ceiling, its bright colors matching the brightness of my life. The boy I liked, I walked home with him! Sure it was small but it was something, lately I feel like I haven't seen much of him. Though from time to time I do see him out of the corner of my eye, though he does disappear as soon as I think I see him. Am I just imagining it? Is he on my mind that much?

"God, how embarrassing!!" I grabbed my pillow and covered my head with it. My embarrassing thoughts heating the pillow. 

"I wonder what it would be like to K-Kiss Yuuki?" I asked myself, finding it hard to come to terms with the word kiss. I want my first Kiss to be With Yukki. 

I'm glad I haven't had my first kiss yet.

"Ok so to sum up everything you've told me in the past hour, I can get skills and items the more I interfere with protagonists life, the more I interfere in their life the higher this percentage goes up, depending on my interference in their storyline."

"Yeah, sounds about right, granted there's more, but I'll leave that for you to discover."

"Okay, though before you go you glossed over this earlier, how do I really disrupt storylines?"

"Hmm, I can't just hand you the answers on a silver platter, but I guess a hint won't hurt. Think about what their stories contain a lot of, if you manage to take those things for yourself the percentage will skyrocket."

"Hmm, Okay. I'll see if that proves useful or useless."

"Such a blatant child." The boss said, the sound of walking began to be heard through the phone. The sound of a futuristic door opening in a typical Sci-fi fashion was heard and then his strong, commanding voice returned. "JJ, Our work starts now." Then the phone call ended.
