There's something wrong with my role-playing system

"Rita......"

"…………do you hate me?"

"…………"

Rita didn't seem to expect that Mashiro would ask such a question, and her expression was slightly stagnant.

"Yes, I hate you!"

Rita turned around, looking like a troubled child.

"I hate how you look like you don't know anything except drawing!"

"Am I your servant? You want me to help you with everything!"

"Hate your talent!"

"Why do monsters like you exist in this world!"

"In this case, wouldn't all my efforts be meaningless?"

"What I hate most is your attitude that as long as you can draw, you don't care about anything else!"

"Who are you showing this martyr-like posture to?"

Rita's expression at this time even looked a little hysterical, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out.

"I've had enough of you, Mashiro!"

"It's just that, even so, you won't care after all, right?"

Rita said with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

"Anyway, painting is everything to you, and my attitude doesn't matter at all!"

"It's just...forget it, I'm tired too!"

"To you, I must be very annoying to you, a guy who just came here all by himself, right?"

"Let's end it like this!"

"Later, after the rain stops, I will take you back."

"You... never come to me again!"

I said it, actually said it all!

In this case, Mashiro will definitely hate her, right?

But, it doesn’t matter!

Rita stood up and wanted to leave, as if she didn't want to stay with Mashiro for one more second.

However…………

"Rita..."

Mashiro directly grabbed Rita's sleeves, with a fragile look on his face, as if he was a little beast abandoned by his mother.

"……do not go!"

"I told you not to touch me!"

Rita was still a little excited and threw Mashiro's hand away.

"So, why are you showing such an expression?!"

"I've already said so, why are you still so persistent with me?"

"Isn't painting the most important thing to you?"

"Why did you abandon the art exhibition and come to me?"

"Obviously I have already made it so clear!"

"I will never bother you again, and you don't have to be controlled by me anymore. Isn't that great?"

"No!"

Mashiro looked at Rita, biting her lip gently, but her eyes were extremely determined.

"I have never been annoyed by Rita, and I have never cared about Rita!"

"Rita... do you hate art exhibitions?"

"Then I won't do it!"

"Does Rita find it troublesome to take care of me?"

"Then I will learn!"

“I can take a shower, brush my teeth, and get dressed, all by myself!”

"so………"

Mashiro grabbed Rita's hand, but Rita didn't let her go this time.

"Rita, don't leave me!"

"so…………"

Facing such Mashiro, even Rita couldn't maintain a tough attitude.

Her tone softened, but her expression became a little shaken by Mashiro's persistence.

"Why would you do this for me?"

"For someone like me, to be so persistent for someone who is jealous of your talents?"

The reason why Rita decided not to associate with Mashiro was actually because of her inferiority complex.

Anyone who faces this girl who is as beautiful as an elf, as pure as a child, and as terrifying as a monster, will inevitably have thoughts of shame.

Rita is no exception. Compared to Mashiro's innocence, Rita, who is jealous of her talent, seems so despicable.

Therefore, she couldn't understand why Mashiro was so persistent with her.

"Because, to me, Rita is a very important person!"

After hearing Rita's question, Mashiro replied without any hesitation.

Mashiro, do you only like to draw, or just draw?

I'm afraid she doesn't even know this question herself.

Human beings are social animals, and a person will feel lonely, even Mashiro who puts all his thoughts on painting is no exception.

However, in Mashiro's past life, there was no one who could be called a friend.

Until... Rita appears.

This girl who sticks with her every day, takes good care of her in everything, and is extremely gentle to her, naturally occupies an extremely important position in Mashiro's heart.

Even to Mashiro, Rita is more important than her so-called real family members.

She's just not good at expressing herself.

However, there is absolutely no doubt about Mashiro’s feelings for Rita!

"I... like Rita!"

The beautiful girl who looked like an elf looked at Rita and said this.

"like…………"

Rita didn't expect that the girl who had always cared about nothing but painting would actually say this word to her.

The alluring red glow climbed onto her cheeks, and she felt as if her heartbeat was a little out of control.

"So, Rita, don't hate me!"

"Rita doesn't like me drawing?"

"Then... I won't draw any more, okay?"

"Rita......"

"...Don't leave me alone..."

Mashiro's tone at this time actually sounded a little crying.

With her simple personality, she didn't understand why Rita's attitude towards her changed so much.

All she can do is use every method she can think of to save her only friend.

"Mashiro, what did you say?"

After hearing Mashiro's words, the blush on Rita's face faded, and she looked at the girl in front of her blankly.

"You want to... give up painting?"

"Um,"

Although Mashiro was a little reluctant to give up, he still nodded firmly.

"If Rita doesn't like it..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Mashiro was slightly startled by Rita's suddenly excited words.

ps: In the original work, Mashiro was able to give up oil painting so readily and go to Japan to draw comics. I really can’t see her persistence in oil painting... I feel that Mashiro is the kind of person who follows her own mood in everything. So, for Mashiro, Rita is indeed more important than oil painting, right? Everyone thinks that the character settings of the fan fiction are slightly different... Anyway, the author feels that the pairing of Mashiro and Rita are too sweet...

Chapter 185: What have I done?

Rita once had the idea that it would be nice if Mashiro stopped drawing.

So when Mashiro said she would give up painting, Rita should be happy.

However, this is not the case.

Most people in this world have had dark thoughts at some point. But can the thoughts at this moment really represent her (their) true mood?

In the original work, Rita also helped and even guided Mashiro to go to Japan and embark on the path of a cartoonist.

The monster is finally gone, and I no longer have to feel the despair of being unable to catch up no matter how hard I try.

Did Rita ever have such thoughts?

Maybe she had such an idea for a moment, but when she woke up, she felt regret and self-blame.

That's why she went to Japan to bring Mashiro back.

In this way......

to make up for his mistakes.

Rita may feel jealous like most ordinary people, but at her core, she is still a kind-hearted girl who makes people feel a little distressed.

So, back to the topic just now.

"It would be nice if Mashiro stopped drawing." Is this really Rita's true thought deep in her heart?

At least at this moment, Rita only felt a suppressed anger boiling inside her.

Although Rita is jealous of Mashiro's talent, she also regards Mashiro as an unsurpassable "god" in the field of painting.

As a result, such Mashiro actually said that she wanted to give up painting. What on earth was she......

Looking at the girl in front of her with slightly red eyes, Rita was suddenly stunned.

So, why did this young girl, whose talent in painting surpassed that of anyone in this era, and who once regarded painting as almost everything, said that she wanted to give up painting?

"Ha~"

A smile appeared on Rita's face, a self-deprecating smile.

"What on earth did I..."

Rita covered her face with her hands, tears overflowing from her palms uncontrollably.

"...What on earth did you do?!"

At this moment, all the original complex emotions in Rita's heart disappeared completely, leaving only extremely strong regret and self-blame.

"To actually push this child to this point..."
