Chapter 9: Simulation II
Eren stared at the screen in front of him, distracted by the warmth coming from his left hand. He didn't know when, but Hana was really hugging his left arm with her whole body this time. Eren saw that his left hand was trapped between Hana's legs and decided to take this opportunity to check something.
There was only one thing worse for Eren than being sucked dry by a woman. Being sucked dry by a man. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario was eliminated as Eren wiggled his fingers slightly, causing the sleeping Hana to shiver.
Eren decided to temporarily forget about the problems on this side and turned his attention back to the system. Things on that side are definitely more exciting and important than things on this side.
[As you stare at the blue-haired girl with widened eyes, her older sister walks in front of you and shows you her fists. At this point, Benzo comes over and introduces you, but you're still lost in thought. Ekko seemed to know them already and knew that they had recently lost their mother. Ekko timidly invites Vi to show her the machines he made, but you suddenly block the path of a girl named Powder and ask her, her age]
[The girl is definitely the one who got you killed, that's for sure, but this time both girls look a lot smaller. Vi had become a protective figure for her sister since her mother's death. When she saw you blocking her sister, she didn't hesitate and moved to punch you in the head. You reflexively dodged the punch as you felt it coming from behind you. This made Vi even more angry and she continued to attack you. As the fight continued, you tripped over materials on the ground and fell].
[As Vi gets up, she sees you falling on top of her and she stops getting up and puts you in a necklock. You keep trying to escape until Benzo separates you, but this girl has the strength of a bull]
Eren is happy to see that the simulation character is getting quite close to the main characters. Eren guessed that if he had a similar combat power to Jinx, the simulation character would definitely get an S-level rating.
[You realize that you have been reborn in the same time period, but after thinking about it for a while, you decide that it doesn't matter. Even though you have detailed knowledge about a few technologies that still haven't been invented at this time, you don't plan to do anything about them]
When Eren realized that the person in the simulation was not very greedy for money, he noted that he should not receive a talent like a business genius in the future. Obviously, the same person is reborn in every simulation, and what's the point of being a business genius if that person doesn't want to make money?
[Another year passes and you decide not to hide the skills you learned in your past life any longer. As your engineering knowledge starts to emerge, a group of brats starts to form around you, but the problem is that you're very clumsy, and people say you're a clever version of Powder]
[Eventually, you can't take it anymore and you find Vander to do what you tried to do in your previous life. Vander laughs when he hears that you live alone and that you want Powder to live with you and says that we'll talk about such things when you're a little older. You realize that he has completely misunderstood and explain the situation in a better way. Vander doesn't reject you outright this time. Powder now comes to Benzo's shop on weekends to help you]
[It's been a year, and Powder has become completely dependent on you. Even on weekdays, she's hanging around you. Powder's interest in machines makes you happy, but you're very sad about one thing. Powder is a real genius. She relies on her instincts even when she's connecting an electric cable, but she succeeds every time]
[You spend another three years with a born genius. Today Vi invites you and Powder to go and do some business. You're indifferent to such things because you think all these brats do is piss people off because you used to live on the other side of town]
Eren did a little math and realized that this time coincided exactly with the end of the previous simulation. He thought that if his character from the simulation actually went there, he would definitely blow himself up with the ability he had. Unfortunately, Eren relaxed a little too soon.
[Powder had recently been ridiculed by the others for not participating in these activities, which the other kids saw as a test of courage. Powder thought about it and gritted her teeth, inviting you to join the others just this once. Powder is your most valuable assistant and you really need her to finish your project. You also haven't had fresh air for a long time]
[Seems like they're happy you're joining the others. Even though you're younger than the other kids, like Powder, you're the only one who has the ability to fight against Vi for a long time. Of course, this fight is all about dodging punches based on your reflexes]
[As you follow the other kids jumping over the rooftops, you get a sense of déjà vu several times, and coincidentally, you step forward and catch the Powder toy as it's about to fall. Meanwhile, you see Jayce walking in an alley under the roof]
[You immediately tried to take control of the situation. Vi decided to fight you, but gave up when she saw the seriousness in your eyes]
Eren looked at the simulation and suddenly realized that he had no idea how things would go from there. What would have happened if the four kids hadn't gone to rob that house in the first place?
