My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 240 Due Explanation"Oh! You were that statue! I see I see." Satoshi was speaking more casually than ever. "All right, now that you've answered my first question... it's time you answer the other ones."
"Satoshi, right? I don't know where to start..." The Statue of Captivity then started fidgeting out of nowhere. For its sheer size, fidgeting seemed a little out of place and it made Satoshi cringe really badly.
"All right... what do you want? And please stop fidgeting, it's going to rot my eyeballs." Knowing that the entity was actually one of his familiars, he knew that there was no way they'd turn against him. That's why he now felt even more comfortable conversing with them more than ever.
"Dex... you were one of the representatives, right? Why didn't you explain everything to master?" The Statue of Captivity then directed its gaze towards Dex who had remained quiet all this time.
Without further ado, Dex responded as if he was waiting for such a question to be asked. "You're right about that... but I didn't think that Satoshi would get here this fast. Sure, I am the representative of this Dimension but his growth as the chosen one was just insane. I couldn't even keep up."
"Also, Satoshi had been preparing for the Superhero License Exam, does his daily training with his father so he could better control his physical capabilities as well as have a better vessel for his superpower, and to top it all off, he's preparing for exams that would soon follow as soon as school break ends. Since I assumed it would take a long time before he meets another representative, I figured that I'd just keep everything to myself and just explain it to him when the opportune time comes."
"Still, Dex, it is inexcusable that you have kept the master oblivious to this fact. As a punishment, you're going to explain everything in length and the other representatives won't help you."
"What other representatives? We're the only ones here." As soon as Dex said something like that, he finally realized what the Statue of Captivity implied.
I won't explain anything since it's a pain so you go do it by yourself. This is your punishment.
A sigh left Dex's mouth as he conceded. Just like what the Statue of Captivity stated, it was his own fault for not explaining everything to Satoshi. But then again, he's got his hands full studying Satoshi's other familiars so he could compile their abilities and send them to Satoshi.
All this time, Dex had been working hard to assist Satoshi in any way he can. He was the only representative available so he figured he'd have to do everything. In fact, it wasn't because he was living the easy life relaxing but because the other familiars didn't bother compiling their own skillsets and abilities. Dex had to do everything by himself just so Satoshi wouldn't have a hard time with his training.
"Statue of Captivity, right? where were you when I was supporting the master? You were never there. None of you were. I was the one doing all the heavy lifting while you all, I don't know... but yeah, if we're looking for the guilty one here, then wouldn't that be you who was never here in the first place?" Dex then returned, smiling.
The Statue of Captivity gasped as reality kicked in. Dex was right. It's not like Dex didn't bother explaining— but rather it was because he was the only representative available that he had to do everything on his own.
"I'm sorry, but just like every other representative... when we lost our master, we were basically roaming our own Dimensions without direction. You know how it was, right, Dex, before master found you."
The conversation went on and on between Dex and the Statue of Captivity while Satoshi was left asking questions to himself. For one, he didn't know what was going on. What is with all these talks about Dimensions, Representatives, losing a master, and everything else in between? Perplexed, Satoshi just couldn't put heads or tails on the matter and he was left to scratch his head in confusion.
"Um, Dex? Statue of Captivity?" Satoshi then spoke up, causing Dex and the Statue of Captivity to cease their useless banter regarding an information dump. They then bowed toward Satoshi.
"Yes, Satoshi?" Dex and Statue of Captivity asked simultaneously.
"Mind if you explain everything that's been going on here? I have no idea what the two of you are talking about. And also, since when did you have a personality, Dex?" Satoshi asked out of nowhere which made Dex a little bit confused.
"I've always had a personality, Satoshi," He simply responded. I Dex had a hand, he'd have been scratching his head in confusion as well since Satoshi's question didn't make any sense.
"We're sorry, Satoshi," Statue of Captvity then voiced out before waving HER hands towards Dex. (Also, as it turned out, Statue of Captivity is actually a girl and Satoshi just realized it a couple of seconds ago when her voice finally cleared up.)
"Where do I start?" Dex then asked the Statue of Captivity. There were a lot of things to explain that he didn't know where he'd start.
"Just explain anything and we'll go from there." Statue of Captivity responded.
"All right."
Satoshi could've sworn that Dex cleared his throat before he started speaking.

Meanwhile,
The drive home was uneventful and probably one of the most boring events that day. Fury, who had been driving the van all this time, couldn't help but constantly clear his throat so as to not drown in the boorishness of the drive. Of course, he was honored that the Midoriyama Duo, the Star Spangled, and even the Eye Goddess were in his van but nothing really happened. There were the occasional small talks and the rest was filled with awkward silence.
"And here we are, the Midoriyama Residence." Fury announced as if he was a taxi driver. (You read that in Samuel Jackson's voice, didn't you?)
"Thanks, Fury, we really owe you a big one this time around," Tatsuki said with a smile while offering his hand to Fury.
Fury gladly shook Tatsuki's hand in return.
"Satoshi, come on, we're ho—" Before Tatsuki could finish his sentence, Ayumu lightly placed her hand on Tatsuki's mouth.
"Shh! Look!" Ayumu said with a giggle, pointing at Shiroi and Satoshi who were sleeping soundly together, their heads resting on each other's.
"Nice going there, Satoshi," Tatsuki then commented before silently telling Ayumu to wipe off the drool on their son's face. (And yes, the drool belonged to the two of them. Both Satoshi and Shiroi were drooling, not just Satoshi.)
