"DAD!!"

-

"Ah! Ah! Father!" Keiichi yelled, breathing heavily.

"You already have the answer to your question, boy." Yato said.

"Uh?! What's going on?! Was I dreaming?!" Keiichi looked around and realized he was in his room. He thought that everything that had happened was a dream; however, the sensations were very real.

"No, you weren't dreaming. I transferred your 'spirit' to the day your parents were murdered. Now you know the truth." Yato replied. Yato also made it impossible for Keiichi to interfere, so he couldn't do magic right now.

"!!!"

"Why couldn't I do magic?! I could save them. Explain to me!!" Keiichi exclaimed. He not only tried to attack the mystery man with physical attacks, he also tried to use magic; however, his attempts were flawed. He couldn't do anything about that situation.

"Did I learn all that for nothing?..." He clenched his fists in anger. Tears began to run down his face.

"Everything you learn will be useful in your life. Your parents were taken from you because you were too weak to protect them."

…

"Don't you want revenge? Or will you keep crying here?" Yato already knew what decision Keiichi would make, so he decided to help him with that.

"Tell me… who was that guy?! I'm going to kill him!!" He swore he would find out who the person who killed his parents was. He would also find out who planned all this. The only thing he was sure of was that a large family was involved in this.

"Don't act rashly. You don't even know if you can kill him."

"This…" Keiichi wasn't sure if he could kill that man. He had just acquired his powers and could only use Hell Flame for a little longer.

"Well, you have the system. Just get stronger. I'll help you with some tips."

"Tips? Why don't you tell me everything I want to know?"

"Do you think my favors are easy to get? You can try to find everything yourself if you want." Yato wouldn't reveal complete information to Keiichi.

"Tch! You're petty!"

"300 points."

"Isn't that stealing?... How can a tip cost so much?!" Keiichi never understood Yato's pricing criteria when charging favors.

"Moments, moments. I'm a fickle guy, you know." Yato said, with a playful smile.

Keiichi shook his head helplessly. Yato was the only person who could help him, so he had to put up with his pranks.

*Sigh!*

"I'm going to sleep… get out of my room!" Keiichi felt too tired. Seeing his parents dying in front of him left his mind very shaken. He just wanted to rest and forget all about it for a moment.

"Good rest." Yato said, before disappearing.

"...You really are a fickle guy." Keiichi lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. It would probably take him a long time to sleep. The images of his parents being murdered didn't come out of his head.

"Father, mother… I swear I will avenge you."

-

"Master, won't that boy be traumatized?" Yerin asked. She already knew about Keiichi's past. Keiichi was already mentally unstable before getting the system, now that he saw his parents die in front of him, he could end up losing his sanity.

"Don't worry, that boy is stronger than you think. I'm sure he'll get over it." Yato wouldn't show Keiichi how his parents were killed if it would cause him too much trauma. He also knew that Keiichi had very good willpower.

"Well if you say so." Yerin did not prolong the subject any longer.

"Master, it seems there is some conflict between the Kraligians and Levinianks. This is a good time for them to meet other races." Yerin said.

The Kraligians are a race with advanced technology in this universe. They often travel to other planetary systems in order to take possession of resource-rich planets. Levinianks are a race with advanced technology as well; however, their technology was not built for their species. Levinianks enslave other races and steal their technology. They are not very smart, but they have a lot of combat power.

"You're right; however, they are not ready yet. Wait a little longer." Keiichi and Sakura were still too weak to perform any interesting missions. However, with the help of the system, they could grow faster.

"Good." Yerin turned into a cat and lay down on Yato's lap. Yato smiled at her behavior.

'How cute can you be?'
