"Creator-Chan?" She blinked her eyes softly.

Yeah, hey, Virya.

"Why are you so late?"

Theres been a change of plans. I'm starting to not have as much time to guide you around.. and I think it's time you gain a bit of independence for yourself.

"D-does that mean you won't be around as much?"

Well.. it just depends on how much time I can spend. And I feel that you need to start doing stuff on your own as well, Virya-Chan. I can't always be around to watch you forever.

"B-but you said you would protect me..!"

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Virya.. I said I would not watch you as much but that doesn't mean I will stop protecting you. I just have.. other duties to attend to. Consider it like I'm going on a business trip.

"So.. does that mean you'll still be around?"

Yeah. I just have other matters that I need to start paying attention to right now.

"O-oh.."

Yeah.

..

"So who will guide me around the tower.?"

I'll let my Director and the Tower AI handle that duty in my stead. They know how important you are to me so they'll take this matter very seriously.

"O-okay.."

You'll be in safe hands, Virya. I promise. Plus, I've already built the other facilities. So, there will be more to explore than just the.. "tower" that you are in.

I'm sorry for breaking that promise, Virya. I'm just.. very busy at the moment. I'll try to make up for it.

"No worries.. you've always taken care of me and I can see just how exhausted you are. Rest, Creator-Chan."

Mmm. Good night, Virya.

"Good night, Creator-Chan. Love you."

Love you too.
