My Idle System Chapter 218: After Five Months

Even then, he didn't dare go too far. They were dangerous, and he didn't want them to start coming after him, after all.

Luckily, there were not many of them. So far, he had not even found five people who were this powerful.

While his thoughts were many, Christian, who had finally finished explaining everything regarding the power systems, suddenly heard his sister ask,

"You talked all that much, but you still haven't given your opinion, for what I should choose."

Taking a mont, to think properly about what was the best thing for his sister, while also taking a sip of water to soothe his throat, because really, he had talked a lot.

Christian finally ca to the conclusion that allowing her to make her own decision was the best course of action, and he responded.

"It's just about preference, and what is the one that you would like to train with."

"Because… really, would you like to study? Or would you like to train? Or do you have another thing in mind?"

"Either way, you just need to choose with an easy mind, and leave the rest to ."

While he said that lightheartedly, with a smile on his face, Christian knew that things were never this simple… but he wanted to do sothing for his sister, even if he had to work hard for that.

… HIM and working hard… it really didn't suit him.

But Christian really wanted to do sothing for her.

"… Well, I want to give this topic so more serious thought, so how about I give you my answer later?" Annabelle suddenly said, while avoiding the too-passionate gaze of her brother, who was looking intently at her.

"That's fine too. Take your ti," Christian replied, slightly disappointed.

They didn't talk much after that. His sister just asked him a few more questions about the power systems, before excusing herself and heading to her room.

Now, alone with Eva, the room suddenly grew silent.

Christian had many things he wanted to talk to her about in private, but he didn't know which one he should start with… before Eva, in a low voice, said.

"Well, then I will excuse myself too… as I too want so ti to myself."

Blinking his eyes, as he looked at Eva's back while she walked away, Christian couldn't help but think,

'Are both of them avoiding now?'

With that thought, which ended up bringing his spirit down, he went to his room too and started thinking.

It was already night, and sleeping ti was just around the corner.

Since he ca to this house, Christian had not slept alone, not even once. It was always either with Eva, or his sister… or with both of them.

It had always been like this during these five months.

So now, as he lay on the bed on his own, he couldn't help but feel that sothing was wrong… sothing was missing.

Shaking his head, Christian decided to listen to the voice recording of what happened between Eva and his sister.

Usually, he never listened to anything regarding them, as in eavesdropping on them.

… But, strangely, this ti, he felt he needed to do that.

So, instead of asking Iris to summarize what had happened with them, this ti he listened to the unfiltered version of the incident.

… And he couldn't help but be shocked.

He knew that Eva had a few screws loose, he'd known that for a long ti. But her acting like this… it couldn't be more foreign to him.

To Christian, Eva's image in his mind was soone kind, warm, sotis calculative, but… still kind.

So, what she said to his sister ca as a complete shock.

Why did she say that?

… No, why did she even bother behaving like that?

There was no need for it, after all.

This ti wasn't like the one with Damian.

This ti, even if his sister had done sothing to those two criminals, Christian had already prepared himself to catch another two.

He had even made sure to deliver this point to her, clearly, as he didn't want any rash actions from her.

So why?

While asking himself this question over and over without finding an answer, ti quietly passed.

And so, when it was finally ti to sleep, Christian stood up from his bed.

… He didn't intend to sleep alone after all this ti, after all.

But more than that, he thought he needed to talk to Eva.

He had been hesitating before, wondering whether he should go to his sister or to Eva.

But after hearing their argunt, or more accurately, what Eva said to his sister, he imdiately made up his mind.

He had already wanted to comfort Eva about the problem with her unique… and probably defective talent.

And now, he also wanted to talk to her about her actions.

He had taken the approach of letting them solve things on their own for a long ti already.

But now, he thought, it was ti for him to interfere.

… And his sister probably needed so ti alone anyway.

While Eva's words were harsh, maybe they would end up changing sothing once she reflected on herself.

And Christian thought that it was ti to take another step toward his sister.

He had been trying to be too careful with every action involving her during these five months.

So this ti, he intended to do sothing different.

And most importantly, he hoped she would decide what she wanted soon, because with Eva's situation, he knew that the talent-detecting technique no longer held any aning.

It was slowing down too much.

Any further developnt would take a long ti… and when he said "a long ti," he didn't an just a year or two.

Christian estimated that it would probably take at least more than ten years for the skill to advance to the next tier and be able to uncover Eva's situation, with his current strength and research material.
