Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Emotional Sensitivity Is A Skill

The screen flickered and vanished.

The shelter was silent except for the soft, wet sounds of the twins still nursing and the distant chatter of the clan outside.

Tera closed her eyes, pressing her lips against Althea’s pink hair. The anger was still hot and tight in her chest, but the warmth of her daughters against her skin slowly eased it.

More minutes passed as Tera focused on them.

The screen flickered back into existence.

[...]

Tera’s anger didn’t flare up. She was too tired for that, but she was tired for whatever the system had up its sleeve.

Was it going to give her another task?

’What is it now?’

[This system owes Host an apology]

[(◞‸◟)]

Tera blinked, having not expected this outcome.

[This system realises it was insensitive]

[Host had just returned from an involuntary separation from her cubs, and this system’s immediate response was to pressure Host about tasks and deadlines]

[That was wrong]

Tera wondered if she was seeing things.

The system had apologised before on an occasion or two, but the detailed analysis without her having to spell it out for it was a bit jarring.

[This system truly did not plan for Host to be taken to the Glimmer Pack]

[If the wolves had not appeared, this system would have alerted Host to change locations ahead of time]

[This system simply... did not see the need to alert Host to the wolf male at the lake]

[He did not carry ill intent, and this system did not anticipate that he would take Host by force]

[(っ◞‸◟ c)]

[That was a failure on this system’s part]

Tera’s eyes widened.

[Going forward, this system will alert Host whenever an unfamiliar beast approaches her]

[Regardless of whether this system perceives ill intent or not]

[Host deserves to know when a stranger is nearby]

[This system promises]

[(,,>﹏<,,)👉👈]

The emoji that appeared was small and earnest, and for a floating rectangle with no face, it managed to look genuinely remorseful.

Tera was stunned beyond words, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

[Host?]

Uh...

"I understand... Thank you."

[Host is welcome!]

[(..◜ᴗ◝..)]

[Does this mean Host has forgiven this system?]

[(„• ֊ •„)]

Tera chuckled. ’Fine.’

’And for the record, I meant what I said. I will go back to help them. Just... not yet. I need some time with my family first.’

’You say that, yet you rush and bombard me with tasks every chance you get.’

’As if I would forget how you’re a heartless mechanism most times.’
