Chapter 1301 Healing The System

Chapter 1301 Healing The System

-----
With Kate, we both touched the System Jewel, purifying everything with her powerful Divine Soul Hacking Spell. The circuits of bright blue color spread everywhere, easily healing the internal frame and the digitalized soul.
FLAAAASH!
Everything, which was dark, quickly brightened and became much prettier. It seemed that Kate's ability worked wonders once more, but I could tell she was really tired.
"I-It worked?" She wondered.
"Yeah, it did." I nodded.
Suddenly, the voice of the System echoed across our surroundings.
"[Ahhh… T-That feels so good… I feel so relieved! A-And- Ugh! What is this?! S-So much information!]"
"Mama? Are you okay?!" Kate asked.
"She's fine, she must be absorbing the information from this System Jewel that has been finally purified and has integrated into her main frame." I explained.
Suddenly, the System fell silent for a bit before she spoke once more.
"[I… feel better now. Sorry to scary you two…]" She sighed. "[I seem to have gained tons of memories, memories of my previous self- well, of the self I am now as well. Although I have yet to see the memories of when my previous self-sacrificed her memories and restarted, I have gotten back several of the previous ones.]"
"Really?!" I asked. "Then…?"
"[I-It is a bit embarrassing to say this…]" She sighed. She sounded rather shy. "[But I have finally recalled those many feelings, and many, many more of the discussions and adventures we had together. It is rather enlightening, even more when… Err, well, when I've already begun developing feelings for you even before regaining these memories…]"
After she said that I felt a bit embarrassed myself.
"W-Well, that's nice." I sighed in relief.
"Mama, you don't remember me?" Sighed Kate.
"[I… Of course I do! I've already gained so many memories with you, dear Kate.]" The System said. "[But it seems you were born after my previous memories were wiped out so… all my memories with you are the ones we've lived so far]"
"O-Oh…" Kate understood. "Okay! But can you one day become like… physical? I wanna hug mommy!"
"[P-Physical? Would such a thing even be possible?]" The System wondered. "[I don't know…]"
"Maybe we'll figure out something eventually, you're technically a sort of Divine Spirit too, which was formed inside of my soul through the accumulation of Divine Power and Mana my soul from another world gained once it crossed over to this world." I said. "Or something like that, I think? That's how the wishes worked, right?"
"[Yes, something like that]" She nodded. "[Though… strangely enough, it feels like I've been much older than just the age I was born within your soul… I have no such memories, but a faint feeling that I once existed. Somewhere else instead. That I wasn't just born when you wished for a System to accompany you.]"
"Maybe mama's a reincarnation like papa and mama Benladann!" Kate said, wondering about it.
"Hmmm, if you have such a strong feeling about it." I nodded. "Could be a possibility, but we'll probably not figure it out any time soon. Maybe… there's even more memories we have yet to unlock."
"[I am just as curious as you two are…]" The System sighed. "[Well! For now, how about you two go to sleep? You're very tired.]"
"Sure, I guess you're right." I nodded.
"Oway…" Kate sighed, feeling still slightly sad.
The System the sighed, gathering her presence and powers into a single spot and transforming, it was something she had never done before… except in a single occasion when she had to reset. However, now she was doing it without losing anything, merely through her natural abilities…
FLAAASH!
The beautiful figure of a woman made of blue light with long, silver hair and gray eyes emerged, she seemed like a beautiful, realistic hologram, her neon blue body shining brightly.
"M-Mama?!" Kate cried in surprise.
"[T-This is something new, but I gained the ability to take this shape within the System Dimension]" She said shyly. "[Is it weird?]"
"Mamaaaa! Hug!" Kate said, transforming into her baby form, and flying towards her mother. Although she looked transparent, her hug felt physical to Kate.
"[A-Ahhh…!]" The System was surprised by the sudden affection. Our adorable daughter hugging her tightly, and rubbing her face over her chest made her slightly surprised. "[W-What do I do now?]" She whispered to me.
"Hahaha just hug her back, you've seen us do this all the time." I laughed.
"[G-Geez, it is not like I am experienced just by watching!]" She pouted a bit, as she hugged Kate back. "[You're so cute, Kate… I wanted to hug you so badly myself, to be honest… Is mama's hug warm? I can't really tell myself…]"
"V-Very warm…" Kate's gray eyes began to slowly cry.
"[E-Eh? You're crying? But why?!]" Her mother panicked.
"I think she's just crying out of happiness." I said. "Are you alright, Kate?"
"Nnn…" Kate didn't respond, simply hugging her mother.
"Well, I guess she's just happy." I laughed.
"[D-Don't cry…]" Her mother sighed. "[I won't go anywhere, dear… I… I am sorry for not being able to be a normal mother but… I'll do everything I can to help you and protect you in the future…]"
"Mama…! Buaaaah!" Kate started crying out loud.
Her mother hugged her tightly, raising her into her arms and giving her head pats, and then, giving her kisses in her cheeks.
"[T-There, there…]" She sighed. "[Everything will be alright… Mama's here, she will always be.]"
Honestly, for being the Dragon King and all, I was really weak to these scenes! Man, I was about to cry myself. I contained my tears, and gave out a big smile, that's all I could do… Though I quickly realized I should be comforting Kate as well, so I hugged her together with her mother.
While doing so, I felt the System's touch, and seeing her smile up so close, and her beautiful, almost celestial appearance, made my heartbeat faster…
"Damn, have I always had such a beautiful lady inside of my soul?" I asked.
"[Ah… W-Was that a flirt?]" She wondered, blushing a bit.
"Hahaha, you could say so." I smiled, suddenly giving her a kiss.
"[Hmm?!]" She was surprised for sure.
