The sorrowful memories of the System Master's past hit us all quite hard, but they were pretty hard to swallow as a whole, he got it hard, yeah, we know it… but did he had to cry so much?! I feel like this was a crap ton of self-loathing!

But well, that's where Astraea slapped him with a strong slap! Face slapping never felt this good before! I felt like the really deserved it for being such a crybaby, not even I was such a crybaby, wasn't I?

Or was I?!

Well, whatever's the case, the thing is, we are still going on forward, and that's what matters…

Of course, Astraea is too much of a good girl, she's really just way too nice, and that's why I love her, so she ended apologizing to her stupid father. This retard really doesn't deserve her! Well, I am still keeping her for myself, so after this is over, I won't let him go around her pestering her like a bee around a juicy nectar-filled flower…

But for now, I'll let them have this moment because I know Astraea wants this, and I am considerate towards her, after all the things she had done, after having helped me so much, it is the least I can do for her. And even then, it still little compared to her help.

"A-Ah! S-Sorry! I didn't mean to do it so hard… I have a hard time dealing with my strength…" sighed Astraea, coming to his help and healing him.

"No… I deserved that… I was submerging myself too much in my self-loathing… Heh, instead of crying so much like an idiot, I should really just get up and help, right?" he said, he smiled bitterly as he sighed, suddenly, his entire body began to glow.

The light covering his body dissipated, as something that I could only say to be a masculine version of Astraea emerged, a holy-looking man, so handsome and radiant it was shocking that it was originally this asshole.

But why did he even turned into this form?

"Father! You've changed…" said Astraea.

"I… did?" wondered the System Master.

Even the idiot of the System Master didn't knew why he turned into this! Seriously?! I thought you were just trying to look attractive to your daughter, you weird daughter-kon… I was fearing he might try to seduce her as a handsome daddy or something, in that moment I was going to just cut him in half.

But he seemed to be wearing a white skirt and gray pants, with boots, so he wasn't nude nor anything weird, that's a relief. Also, he was genuinely confused, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and to try to explain himself coherently.

"How do you not know?" I asked.

"Eh? Ah… Perhaps… I remember that when I was little, I used to look mildly like a human." Said the System Master.

"Mildly?" I asked.

"I… I think it happened when my hatred reached its peak, I ended bottling myself so much and sealing away all these thoughts and emotions that I didn't realized it and I ended covering my won appearance in white light." Said the System Master.

"W-What kind of weird thing is that? Wait, so because you bottled yourself up, you literally ended wearing a mask all over your body? So you're telling me that your appearance was a constant call for help?!" I asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I-I wouldn't say that…" sighed the System Master.

"Kireina-sama! Please, I won't tolerate you if you keep talking like this to father…" said Astraea.

"A-Astraea-chan…" I sighed.

"I-I love you… But… I don't want you and father to not get along… If you're constantly so aggressive against him… I will feel bad and… uncomfortable with you." She sighed.

"Aaahh… Okay, okay, fine." I sighed, as I shrugged.

"Thank you… I knew I could count on you." She said with a radiant smile.

Ah, I guess I am the same as the System Master, that slime alone conquered me and I can't really say no to her, that simple… She's really powerful with that smile, a killer smile at that.

How can I even resist that? It's simply impossible.

"Very well then, I will… tolerate him… but he better show off some results." I said.

"You will, right, father?" asked Astraea with a smile.

"Y-Yes… I cannot really disappoint my daughter now that things had come to this…" sighed the System Master.

Suddenly, I heard a knock in the dimensional walls of my divine realm.

Ah, its Lucifer.

I opened the door to the King of Hell as his avatar walked inside.

"Oh my, you're already recovered! I thought I could get here in time to see you, friend." He laughed.

I suddenly noticed his appearance, well, the one of his avatar, had changed, he looked like a beautiful woman? Or man? It was an androgynous man or a flat woman… or perhaps it was a genderless being, but it was very beautiful, as beautiful as his true body, or perhaps even more refined in appearance as he was smaller and compact, to the point I kind of wanted to squish his cheeks.

He had long azure hair reaching his hips and was wearing what seemed to be a blouse and tight pants with boots that had heels on them. Did he always had the power to turn his Avatar into this hottie?!

"You… Lucifer… I guess you were the only one there for me through this entire journey… I am… sorry for never having listened to your advises. Now that I realize, they were very similar to the things my daughter told me now…" sighed the System Master.

"Haha, dear, what are friends for? Don't worry about it, now come here." Said Lucifer with a bright smile, as he hugged the System Master, and petted his head, and even kissed his cheek.

"W-What are you doing?! Ugh, I knew it! You degenerate!" cried the System Master, as Lucifer laughed.
