It's the System's Fault? No! It's Tokiomi's Fault!

The reason was simple. Someone with strength like that had no need to covet a Class Card, much less resort to petty tricks.

But what had happened today only left Miyu even more puzzled...

Actually, Miyu had harbored a suspicion from the very beginning—that Chu Chen was the Administrator of her System Network.

After all, Chu Chen had not gone out of his way to hide that aspect of himself, so he was not surprised that Miyu had noticed it.

After seeing Chu Chen use the Petrifying Magic Eye today, Miyu became even more certain of it.

After all, Chu Chen had said in the System Network that he could obtain one of each person's daily rewards.

Miyu had received this Mystic Eye before, but the System was difficult to explain. She felt that displaying too many abilities from her rewards would arouse suspicion, so she had never used her Mystic Eyes until now. This time, Medea's Teleportation made Miyu realize something.

In the future, when she used the Lancer Class Card, it would be better to silently activate her Mystic Eyes.

The Mystic Eyes would restrict the opponent's movements, then she could take them down in one strike with Gae Bolg!

"Is there something you want to ask me, Miyu...?"

As he entered the house, Chu Chen looked at Miyu. He had noticed earlier that she seemed to have something she wanted to say.

Miyu opened her mouth, then hesitated. Chu Chen found it rather curious. What could be troubling this girl?

Sapphire floated beside Miyu, equally curious about what Miyu was thinking.

After a while, Miyu glanced at Sapphire before slowly speaking.

"Mr. Chu Chen... are you that Administrator?"

Miyu said something utterly inexplicable, but she believed that if it was Chu Chen, he should understand.

Chu Chen was slightly taken aback, though not particularly surprised. Miyu had always been a clever child, so it was perfectly normal for her to notice from some of his unusual actions. Even if the others had not noticed yet, once he used more and more abilities familiar to them in the future, they would probably detect something strange about him as well.

Besides, when Chu Chen went to other worlds in the future, he had originally intended to help them under the name Chu Chen.

He only had one alt account: the Administrator. His main account was the System Creator.

"That's exactly what you think it is... Still, I didn't expect Miyu to be the first to discover my identity. My Miyu really is smart. That silly Illya still doesn't know anything..." Chu Chen's face was filled with an indulgent smile.

The answer from Chu Chen made Miyu feel inexplicably delighted. Perhaps it was because of his praise, perhaps because her guess had been confirmed, or perhaps because there was now another strong connection between her and Mr. Chu Chen.

"Lady Miyu? Lord Chu Chen?" Sapphire looked at Miyu and Chu Chen with a puzzled expression.

Chu Chen glanced at Sapphire with amusement, then gave Miyu a look.

Miyu nodded slightly. She understood what Chu Chen meant, and she had been thinking the same thing herself.

Afterward, Miyu took Sapphire back to her room, while Chu Chen...

System Completion: 65%

Chu Chen glanced at the progress bar and muttered to himself. This was even faster than he had expected.

At first, Chu Chen had thought it would take five or six days to complete. Now it seemed that he could finish creating this System tomorrow.

Could it be... Chu Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Saeko triggered three missions, and Ai triggered one... Hm? Two missions! I see. Saeko's World Salvation Mission counts as a group mission, so it counts as two... In that case!"

Haibara Ai Triggered Event Check-in: Please make Conan admit that he is the Shinigami Elementary School Student, commonly known as someone who brings death wherever he goes!

Check-in Time Limit: 24 hours

Check-in Reward: One random ability increased by 1 level

Ilyasviel Triggered Event Check-in: Please download the file "Recording 1" from the System Network and copy it to your phone. After your older brother falls asleep, play the recording beside his ear on loop!

Check-in Time Limit: 10 minutes

Check-in Reward: Luck EX

Chu Chen released all the check-in missions in one go, all for the sake of a System Completion critical hit.

In an instant, the System Network exploded!

Busujima Saeko: "What is this? A mission outbreak?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I was inexplicably woken up! Then I found all these missions!"

Haibara Ai: "But what I care about most is Illya's mission! Luck EX—will Illya finally escape the Blood of the Unlucky? But this Recording 1..."

Illya: "...If I remember correctly, there's only one recording in the network..."

Administrator: "That's right, Illya. It's exactly the one you're thinking of... Come on! Go torment your older brother!"

Haibara Ai: "..."

Miyu: "..."

Busujima Saeko: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Illya, just how did your older brother offend this System Creator? It would have been one thing if a mission persecuting your brother had appeared once, but there's actually a second one!"

Illya: "Impossible! I absolutely won't do this! I'd better give up on this mission. This is our home, you know! If Sella hears it, my brother will be dead for sure!"

Ilyasviel has downloaded Recording 1.mp4

Illya: "!!!!!"

Administrator: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

Busujima Saeko: "..."

Miyu: "..."

Haibara Ai: "As expected, the essence of humanity is that it smells so good..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "You said you would absolutely never do it, but your hands honestly downloaded the recording!"

Illya: "..."

It's the System's Fault? No! It's Tokiomi's Fault!

My name is Alicia! Alicia Testarossa!

My mother's name is Precia Testarossa! Mm-hm! She's a mommy who loves me very much!

In my home, besides Mommy and me, there was also a little cat named Linith...

Mommy always had to go to work, so when that happened, Linith was the only one who could keep me company.

Actually... I had always had a tiny wish! Mm-hm! It really was only a tiny wish.

That was—cough, cough... Alicia wanted to be a big sister! That's right! A big sister!

Unfortunately, Mommy hadn't given me a little sister... So I told Mommy that I wanted a little sister!

Because if I had a little sister, someone could keep me company whenever Mommy was away. And then Mommy could go to work without worrying whether I would be lonely at home by myself.

Of course, Alicia also had a little selfish wish. If I had a little sister, our home would become livelier. When just two people ate together, it always felt a little lonely... I heard that most families had three people, but ours only had two. Since I didn't have a daddy, I could only hope for a little sister...

Huh? That's right! How could I have a little sister without a daddy? Hehe... I guess I was thinking too much.

Hm? What was that...

That day, Mommy went to work as usual, leaving only Linith and me at home! It was so boring...

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly shone in the distance... I couldn't help blinking.

What was that... It looked so pretty, but that direction seemed to be where Mommy worked.

I jumped down from the sofa and hurried to the balcony to watch the brilliant light, unable to stop myself from blinking again.

Huh? Why did I suddenly feel like falling asleep... Wuuuu... I was so sleepy...

Magical Girl Selection System loaded successfully. This System has determined that the host cannot independently open the Beginner's Gift Package. The Beginner's Gift Package will automatically open, rewarding the host with Heroic Spirit Foundation ×1, which will completely merge with the host!

Detected that the host's timeline differs from the timeline of this System's Creator. The host will be asked whether to synchronize timelines with the System Creator!

Detected that the host cannot make an independent choice. This System will automatically make the choice for the host!

Timeline synchronization begins! 3! 2! 1! Timeline synchronization initiated!

"It's actually Alicia..." A look of surprise appeared on Chu Chen's face.

After releasing five missions for everyone, Chu Chen instantly achieved a critical hit in System Completion.

Moreover, the degree of the critical hit was based on how many worlds had their Worldlines altered.

One world meant a twofold increase, while two worlds meant fourfold. In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen had completed the creation of a brand-new System.

The newest System was the Selection System. At certain moments, it could offer choices, and the rewards gained would differ completely depending on the choice made... Moreover, the way the Selection System chose hosts was vastly different from the Check-in System.

The Check-in System could only select hosts who existed on the same timeline as Chu Chen.

But after the Selection System was activated, it could include all possible candidates from the past, present, and future. Therefore, the Selection System could naturally select Alicia, who had already died before the beginning of Nanoha's story. After selecting someone from a different timeline, it would give the host a choice: synchronize timelines or not.

Once the timelines were synchronized, people from the past could directly come to the future, while people from the future could directly travel to the past and become the person at that point in time... As for time paradoxes, there was no need to worry. A person from the past would directly transfer her consciousness into her future self, while a person from the future could transfer her consciousness into her past self.

It was just like Tokisaki Kurumi's Sixth Bullet, capable of moving one's consciousness into one's past self.

This was genuine manipulation of time, not manipulation of parallel worlds, so there was no need to worry about creating parallel worlds.

By the way, Alicia had not entered the System Network. The reason was simple: the Selection System and the Check-in System operated differently. If a Selection System holder entered the System Network, it might cause a bug. Chu Chen still needed to study that problem. In fact, he was very curious about what would happen if a Selection System holder entered the System Network.

Would the entire System Network turn into something like a strategy game, becoming a strategy group for a strategy game?

Thinking of that, Chu Chen could not help finding it amusing.

Chu Chen: "..."

His gaze settled on the rewards of the last two people, and his expression became exceptionally colorful.

Tsk, tsk... Yukino was one thing, but what kind of rewards were these for Illya?

Her height had increased by another centimeter within two days, and there was even hair smoothness... Why not just give her a bottle of shampoo?

Poor Illya... Chu Chen could not help sympathizing with her.

But... Luck EX... Chu Chen silently mourned for Emiya Shirou. He would probably completely lose it tonight!

Silently, Chu Chen very kindly uploaded this image directly—

To the network!

Administrator: "Illya's Daily Rewards.JPG!"

Illya: "!!!!!"

Haibara Ai: "Whoa! Illya, what kind of rewards are these? Hair smoothness? Height?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...How miserable..."

Miyu: "Illya, do you want me to give you the Noble Phantasm?"

Even Miyu could not help offering such sympathetic words after seeing how miserable those rewards were.

Busujima Saeko: "So am I the only one who noticed that Luck EX? Illya, is your older brother all right?"

Illya: "..."

Haibara Ai: "Watson, you found the blind spot! Now I'm also curious about how your older brother is doing."

Illya: "Don't ask me how my older brother is doing! The answer is that he's beyond saving!"

Administrator: "What a miserable brother... Having someone like Illya to drag him down is truly tragic!"
