After coming to terms with it, Nicole's mood improved considerably, and a smile returned to her face. Anyway, she wasn't some promiscuous woman. The reason she chose this repayment method was because she had promised it before. And the main reason was that the other party was Wise, someone she got along with relatively well. Since she had already decided to stop after paying off the debt, there was no need to worry so much.
"By the way, Nicole, you came so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet. Want to stay and eat something? After all, you just had such a long workout."
Wise said this with a meaningful smile. Hearing his words, Nicole immediately blushed. "You! Hmph, eat! Why wouldn't I eat? Make a lot for me, I have a big appetite!"
After doing that, and now being teased about it by Wise, Nicole felt a surge of anger, but the emotional agitation made her legs feel a bit weak again. Even so, she was determined to eat her fill and replenish all the energy she had just expended. She couldn't afford to make a losing deal!
Wise didn't say much more. This was just Nicole's personality. As for the Dennies she owed him, Wise never really intended to get them back. At the rate she paid off her debts, it would probably take years, and the debt would likely just keep increasing. Besides, he had heard that she regularly donated to an orphanage, which was the reason the Cunning Hares were in the red every month. So, rather than letting her keep owing him, it was better to do something that could please both parties and be meaningful.
As for what he'd tell Belle if she asked, he could just use the Emotional Value gained from Nicole to exchange for some Dennies from the shop.
But speaking of exchanges...
'System, are you done with your update yet?'
That's right. He had noticed the system was updating back when he was on his dates with the girls. He wasn't sure when it had started, but according to the display, it should be finished by now.
Wise prepared breakfast while communicating with the system in his mind. However, it was a long while after he spoke that the system finally responded in a flustered manner.
'My sincerest apologies, dear Master. Because I was preparing a gift for you during the update, I was a little late. I am truly sorry.'
The system used its gentle, pleasant voice to express its humility and meekness, seemingly hoping Wise wouldn't mistake it for the irresponsible type. Although sometimes it was, that was a separate matter.
'A gift? What kind of gift?'
Wise was curious but also couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew his system's personality well; it rarely gave any normal gifts.
'After this system update, the rewards for the girls you have previously fully conquered will be retroactively issued.'
Wise was slightly stunned to hear this, but the system paid no mind to his surprise and directly presented the rewards.
[Fully Conquered Target: Corin]
[Reward Generated: Transformer (S)]
[Description: Exactly what it sounds like. You, the Master, can choose the model yourself. Additionally, Transformers produced by the system have no self-awareness and can only completely obey your commands.]
(Note: Master may wish to seek out an intelligent AI to control it.)
[Fully Conquered Target: Rina]
[Reward Generated: Code Programming (B)]
[Description: Can be used in conjunction with the Machina-Brain.]
(Note: This talent can be upgraded to Aether Programming.)
[Fully Conquered Target: Ellen]
(Detected that Master has fully conquered two Nekomata women. Reward has been altered.)
[Reward Generated: Neko Hunter (S)]
[Description: Hunting in every sense of the word. Any action initiated by you, the Master, whether it be an attack or otherwise, will be enhanced by 50% against them, while also reducing the damage they inflict on you. This perfectly solves the problem of Nekomata girls potentially hurting you by accident.]
[Fully Conquered Target: Fairy]
[Reward Generated: Form Digitization (S)]
[Description: You can directly digitize your own body and transmit it to other locations via the network. Can be used in conjunction with the Machina-Brain.]
After reviewing all the rewards, Wise fell silent. Even the movements of his hands as he cooked came to a halt. The rewards were indeed excellent. What he hadn't expected was that even Fairy was included, and the system had even given him a Transformer body. Looking at the note, wasn't it basically telling him to give this to Fairy? Even if the system hadn't said it, he would have done it anyway. After all, an artificial intelligence was much better than a machine that could only obey his commands.
As for the other rewards, Form Digitization increased his mobility. In the future, if he sent a Bangboo to follow an agent into a Hollow and something unexpected happened, he could use this talent to go there directly and help, instead of just watching from the sidelines. As for Neko Hunter, although its effect was limited to Nekomata... hmph, hmph, little Ellen, don't even think about biting me again in the future.
And Code Programming, with the note that it could be upgraded to Aether Programming... wasn't that something from next door?
After reading all the talent descriptions, Wise was very satisfied and couldn't help but praise the system.
'System, the gift you prepared is really nice. It was worth waiting for the update.'
'Mhm, thank you for your praise, Master. Wait, a gift? What gift? This isn't...'
Before the system could finish, Wise heard Belle's voice from behind him, and his attention immediately shifted there. Turning his head, he saw his sister chatting happily with Nicole. However, the former was continuously scrutinizing the latter, making Nicole a little uncomfortable.
The reason, of course, was that Nicole hadn't showered after her vigorous exercise and smelled of sweat. With Belle's uniquely feminine sense of smell, she could smell it clearly. So, while chatting with Nicole, her eyes would occasionally dart towards Wise. He feigned ignorance, though he was embarrassed. Even though she's figured it out, I'll just pretend I don't know for now and explain properly later.
"Huh? You guys eat this every morning? This is too lavish!" Nicole's eyes lit up as she looked at the breakfast on the table in front of her. Just the aroma made her swallow. Though doing so only made her recall that strange, sweet taste. Damn it, I should have rinsed my mouth first!
Nicole secretly stuck out her tongue. Wise, noticing this, understood the reason but calmly replied, "Normally it's not like this. Today is because of you, Nicole, so I made a little extra."
"Ah? I-it's because of me?"
