Kyle currently stood near Amanda’s house, waiting for her response.

Naturally, he couldn’t enter the mansion through the front door this time either. Once Melissa’s unnatural circumstances came to light, an investigation was bound to follow.

In such a situation, he would rather not have any connection to the matter, or his image would be ruined before he even officially introduced himself to Amanda’s family.

Other than that, he has gotten enough attention on him to have them know about his ability to remove someone’s magical ability from them. That would cause too much chaos.

[Host, it’s been a while. Should the system start the stream?]

Kyle blinked in surprise. ’Right now? But I ain’t gonna do anything flashy.’

[This is your first experience extracting a blessing. Surely, many are eager to watch how you do it.]

Kyle scratched his chin beneath the mask. Yes, he was wearing both a mask and a cap. After a moment, he nodded.

’Well, if you think so.’

[Command accepted]

[Setting up the stream....]

[Stream starts in 3...2...1]

[Host, you are li-]

Myuri: [Kyleeee! Oh my god, I have been so worried these past few days! Why weren’t you streaming? Ah, is it that...you don’t love me anymore?]

Tharos: [Bad Kyle. Busy Kyle. Hmph.]

Ethara: [You have been through a lot, but as expected from the chosen one, you still got back on your feet pretty quickly.]

"..." Once again, he was left speechless by how effortlessly they flooded his entire vision with comments.

’Myuri, first of all, thanks to your gift, I survived. And Tharos, long time no see. Have you been busy lately?’ He then read Ethara’s message and grinned. ’Well, Aquilla always saves me at my worst.’

Myuri: [Ehehe~ I knew you would like that gift. It has my *essence* after all. Fufu~]

Tharos: [I was dead, Kyle. Need hugs...]

Ethara: [I am glad you received help from Aquilla when you needed.]

Something about Myuri’s statement felt wrong. Of course, she was talking about divine essence...right?

...right?

’What do you mean by dead, Tharos? Like...were you bored?’

Tharos: [No...I have to go into slumber to suppress my radiance. People complain I drain the life out of them up here...sniff...no one likes me, Kyle.]

He rarely saw her type such long sentences.

A soft smile appeared on his face as he replied,

’But I do like you. You are still my cutest and calmest viewer. If you ever feel lonely, just ask the system to bring me streaming again. We will talk a lot.’

Tharos: [Kyle...likes me...?]

Tharos: [...happy.]

Tharos: [Okay. Then I won’t be lonely anymore. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)]

Myuri: [Ehhh~ unfair! Why does little Tharos get all the sweet words? I vanished too, you know? I was this close to dying from Kyle deprivation.]

WarHorse: [Liar. You were online harassing the system to force Kyle into live streaming.]

Myuri: [I was concerned!]

Ethara: [You sent him hundred and thirty-seven messages in one hour before you were blocked.]

Myuri: [And not a single reply! Do you know how heartbreaking that is for a maiden?]

WarHorse: [You threatened to climb down from the heavens and sit on his lap until he streamed again.]

Myuri: [I said what I said.]

Ethara: [Unfortunately.]

Then another message appeared.

Myuri: [Kyle...sniff...they are bullying me again. I need comfort. Preferably shoulder-sized comfort.]

Kyle could only smile at their antics. Somehow, they always managed to lighten his mood and clear his head.

Just then, he received a message from Amanda.

{You can come inside.}

Kyle took a deep breath before speaking to the viewers.

’Won’t be able to reply for a while.’

The moment he said that, he stepped back a few paces and suddenly dashed forward.

"Ah!"

Much to his surprise, he did not even need to vault over the wall this time. The moment he jumped, his eyes easily cleared the top of the mansion boundary.

And when he landed, both feet touched the ground smoothly.

Startled, Kyle turned back to stare at the wall that once took him considerable effort to cross.

But now...

’Damn...I really am a superhuman now.’

Myuri: [Kyle is sooo cool~ Look at those strong legs. Carry me next.]

Ethara: [You are staring at him perversely again.]

Myuri: [Obviously. Do you expect me to stare at the wall?]

Kyle ignored the flood of messages and quietly instructed,

’System, keep an eye on the surroundings and tell me if someone approaches.’

[God’s Eye activated.]

[Host, two men are heading this way. At their current pace, they may spot you within two minutes.]

[Please hurry.]

Kyle did not waste any time and quickly approached the first-floor window. Climbing onto the ledge, he grabbed one of the protruding decorative bricks built into the wall, using it to pull himself toward the second floor.

Within moments, he reached Amanda’s window and found the girl already standing there waiting for him.

The instant she saw him, Amanda opened the window and let him inside.

Kyle jumped in before lightly dusting off his clothes.

Not hearing anything from her, he looked up and asked,

"What happened, Amanda? Everything alright?"

Amanda looked slightly dazed, her thoughts still lingering on the conversation she had with Melissa.

In a quiet voice, she muttered,

"I never knew saving someone could make me feel this weak."

Kyle sighed softly.

"Did something happen with her?"

Amanda slowly shook her head.

"She...kept crying while lying on my lap. She said I was the only person she could trust with her emotions."

Hearing that made Kyle’s chest feel heavy.

He stepped closer and gently rested his hands on her shoulders.

Brushing aside the strands of hair covering her face, he cupped her cheeks and softly said,

"Amanda...I’m glad you understand that we’re doing this to save her life and stop Melissa from suffering any further. Just steel your heart this one last time. I promise everything will be alright."

Amanda slowly nodded.

Yes...she was doing this to protect Melissa.

Myuri: [Hmph. I don’t like this girl. She keeps acting fragile to monopolize Kyle’s attention.]

WarHorse: [That sounds strangely familiar.]

Myuri: [Excuse me? I am naturally adorable. There is a difference.]

Ethara: [One cries elegantly. The other starts riots in chat.]

Myuri: [Kyle likes my riots.]

Ethara: [Kyle tolerates your riots.]

Myuri: [Same thing.]

Then another message appeared.

Myuri: [Still...seeing Kyle hold another girl like that makes me wanna...]

WarHorse: [There it is.]

Kyle quietly sighed. Having an emotional moment with Amanda while simultaneously reading the viewers’ ridiculous messages left him feeling oddly conflicted.

Amanda then said, "Let’s get started then. She is in the room next door."

Kyle nodded and then followed Amanda to the neighbouring room.

When they entered, Kyle felt the gauntlet appearing on his arm automatically. And the cause for its appearance was currently lying on the bed, eyes closed.

"I have used sleep inducing pills on her so she won’t be waking up for half a day at least." Amanda told him before raising her hand, "Go ahead and take that curse away from her."

Kyle nodded and advanced forward.

Time to pull the demon out of her.
