I, the System Creator Chapter 19

Ilyasviel's brand new Dark History acquired! She'll quietly toss it into the System Network later for everyone to enjoy!

Teacher Chu Chen declared that before the new generation of persecution king enters the System Network, the persecution of Ilyasviel absolutely must not stop!

"So amazing! It really is a maid outfit! And the fabric is so high-quality! The stitching is exquisite too! This is the real deal!"

Ilyasviel hopped around in circles, circling Miyu with her face full of excitement.

Her eyes instantly turned into spirals straight out of a 2D anime, and eventually she grabbed Miyu by the shoulders.

"A real elementary school maid!? Call me master!"

"Huh? Isn't it usually supposed to be 'big sister'?"

Miyu's retort made Ilyasviel pause for a moment, and then—

"Come on! Say it!"

In an instant, Ilyasviel's face pressed close to Miyu's, her pupils suddenly turning blood-red as if controlled by someone, her cheeks flushed with red, excitement overflowing to the point where the immense pressure made Miyu break out in a cold sweat.

"M-Master~~~~"

Watching this scene unfold, Teacher Chu Chen, Luvia, and Tohsaka Rin had already quietly slipped aside to discuss it.

"Ilyasviel is a potential sadist too..."

"Ilyasviel has maids at home too, so why is she so fixated on Miyu..."

"Or maybe this is some special fetish of Ilyasviel's, only reacting to elementary school maids..."

The three of them had inexplicably launched into a full-scale discussion of Ilyasviel's fetishes, snapping Ilyasviel and Miyu back to reality. Ilyasviel had gotten so carried away that she'd momentarily forgotten there were three other people here.

Ilyasviel von Einzbern: "Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! Why did the Administrator see that! And not only saw it, but actually uploaded it! Why are you so skilled at doing things like this, Administrator!!!"

Ilyasviel instantly went berserk. How could the Administrator have seen what happened at Teacher Chu Chen's house!

Could it be... Ilyasviel's head turned as if on rusty gears, painfully craning her neck around.

What met her eyes was Teacher Chu Chen's demonic smile. Confirmed—it was definitely that black-hearted Administrator!

Haibara Ai: "Poor Ilyasviel. I can confirm now that the Administrator can probably travel between our worlds. If I'm not mistaken, Ilyasviel, he should be right there with you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That's right. That black-hearted Administrator must be using his ability to keep peeping on all of us!"

Ilyasviel von Einzbern: "Sister Ai is right. He's standing right in front of me now, smiling as he watches me... Confirmed—he is my teacher!"

Haibara Ai & Yukino Yukinoshita & Busujima Saeko: "!!!"

PS2: Another chapter at midnight.

Chapter 37: Tohsaka Rin: Are You Saying Your Last Words? (Bonus Chapter)

There was a limit to teasing Ilyasviel, so after tossing that recording into the System Network, Teacher Chu Chen quietly brought up the matter of Install with Tohsaka Rin and Luvia.

Incidentally, Ruby and Sapphire were also listening nearby.

Tohsaka Rin and Luvia didn't doubt Teacher Chu Chen's words, because when he spoke, he mentioned that the Class Card contained the principles of extremely profound Displacement Magic, and they had both seen him use Displacement Magic before.

It was possible that the manufacturing principles of the Class Cards happened to touch on Teacher Chu Chen's area of expertise.

Besides, Teacher Chu Chen wasn't the type to make baseless claims. Moreover, he was now planning to have Miyu and the others try it out.

Miyu had already changed, holding Sapphire in one hand and Saber's Class Card in the other.

"Install!"

The next moment, a cerulean radiance burst forth. Before Teacher Chu Chen and the others' eyes, a set of blue-and-white armor materialized on Miyu's body, and the Sapphire in her hand had transformed into a magnificent sword.

A glimmer of wonder flickered in Miyu's eyes. So this was what they called Install?

Miyu had never participated in the Einsworth Holy Grail War, so this was her first time learning about this use of Class Cards.

In truth, even without the Sapphire Staff, Install was still possible—Emiya Shirou was one example... it just required knowing the method. For Miyu, who didn't know the method, she could use Sapphire as a medium to perform Install. This was one of the most convenient features of the Kaleidoscope Staff...

"So cool!" Ilyasviel had already recovered from her earlier meltdown.

Although she was shocked that Teacher Chu Chen was the Administrator, from Haibara Ai's previous conversation with him, she could tell that Teacher Chu Chen was essentially just a system holder who had obtained the System Network, no different from them in nature.

This administrator is only responsible for matters related to the system and pulling other system holders into the System Network... essentially a kind of proxy for the System Creator...

So Illya didn't dwell too much on Chu Chen's identity as an Administrator. In fact, the revelation of Chu Chen's Administrator status actually made Illya feel a bit closer to him. When two familiar people suddenly realize they're the same person, that sense of familiarity can stack, just like now.

Watching Miyu's current state, Tohsaka Rin and Luvia quickly stepped forward to comment.

"So this is Install..." Rin's face was full of amazement.

"Are there any side effects? Miyu, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Luvia was more concerned about Miyu's physical condition... Regardless, this bizarre method of use sounded shocking... The fact that a Class Card could connect to the Throne of Heroes was hard to believe.

If they hadn't seen Miyu actually use Install, they probably would have been half-doubtful of Chu Chen's explanation... After all, they'd never heard of something like this that could let someone wield the power of a Heroic Spirit.

So upon seeing it, Luvia's first worry was still Miyu's physical state.

Miyu stretched her body, now keenly aware of the immense power within her.

And in truth, after fusing with Caster's power, Miyu had already felt this way.

Only now could she deeply understand just how vast the gap between a human magus and a Heroic Spirit was.

"Lady Miyu's body shows no abnormalities, but how do you feel yourself, Lady Miyu..."

Sapphire could detect Miyu's physical state, but it still depended on Miyu's own feelings.

After all, she was somewhat like an artificial intelligence—relying solely on her own detection could still lead to errors...

Miyu shook her head. She didn't feel anything unusual; on the contrary, she felt great!

She now had the feeling that even facing Saber and Rider from before, she wouldn't lose...

"Then I'll give it a try too..." Saying this, Illya quietly pulled out her own Archer card.

To let Illya and the others use the Class Cards' power anytime, Rin and Luvia had each handed their cards to Illya and Miyu. This was for their convenience... After all, they were just kids, so giving them the cards wouldn't cause major issues. On the contrary, keeping the cards on themselves now was completely useless!

Seeing Illya about to use the card to transform into Archer, Chu Chen's mouth twitched as he quickly stopped her.

It's not that I don't want you to transform, but what if Little Black comes out at this moment?

Chu Chen planned to stay at Nanoha's place for a day or two. With that time, he could basically build a good relationship with Nanoha and Fate... But if Little Black showed up now, she'd definitely cause trouble for Illya first, and then he'd have to deal with her, wasting time entirely...

"Illya, don't try it. I had Miyu attempt Install just to have another means of combat, not for fun. Besides, using Install consumes a lot of mana, so don't waste it now..." Chu Chen's words were just an excuse to stop Illya from messing around.

In truth, both Illya and Miyu had mana reserves that were off the charts...

If compared, even adult Luvia or Tohsaka Rin couldn't match them.

Illya nodded very seriously and quietly put her Class Card away.

"By the way, remember this: if you overuse Install, the Class Card will automatically eject. Think of it as a safety mechanism..."

Chu Chen had explained enough, and Rin and Luvia couldn't help but glance at him.

"I feel like you're saying your last words..." Rin couldn't help but tease.

"There's a sense of an overly worried butler in there..." Luvia chimed in.

"You're the one saying last words!" Chu Chen shot a glare at Rin. Can't you talk properly? What do you mean by last words?

"I'm just leaving Fuyuki City for a while. I'll be back in a day or two!"

The others nodded instinctively, but after nodding, they realized what Chu Chen had said.

Rin & Luvia & Illya & Miyu: "Eh!!!!!"

Chapter 38: Chu Chen: ...I swear I'll scrap this mouthy system and rebuild it someday!

[System update in progress... Once the update is complete, the host can chat with other system holders from other worlds. All systems held by these system holders are manufactured by the same factory as this system. Please look forward to it, host...]

At Nanoha's house, Alicia suddenly received this message, tilting her head in curiosity.

So there are other system holders... and from other worlds too...

As Precia's daughter, Alicia had heard of other dimensional worlds...

Though she'd never been to any, that's exactly why she was so curious about them. For instance, she was very interested in the world Nanoha lived in.

Ever since arriving at Nanoha's house, she'd been poking around, curious about everything around her.

Nanoha's mother, Takako Nanoha, was clearly a Blonde Enthusiast. Upon seeing Alicia, she welcomed her into the house with unusual enthusiasm, holding Alicia in her arms all day and "messing up" her hair. Now Alicia understood what the system meant by "playing with your golden hair."

Expressionless, Alicia silently fixed her golden hair and returned to her room.

This family was nice in every way, except that Nanoha and Auntie Takako loved to tousle her golden hair, and then...

She had to fix her hairstyle every time... too troublesome...

Of course, it was only a minor annoyance. Alicia found her system to be the bigger problem.

At first, she was curious about her aloof system, because it never spoke nonsense—if it had something, it said it; if it didn't, it didn't. It would say what it could and wouldn't say what it couldn't. Of course, that alone wasn't aloof. What really made Alicia think it was aloof was that it always spoke concisely, even only contacting her for options, nothing else.

But gradually, Alicia discovered from the system's options that this system was quite the show-off!

For example--

[Ding! Selection has begun! Selection time: 1 minute]

[A certain White Devil's mother is trying to lure you with a lollipop. Your choice:]

[1. As the host of this system, how could you be so easily tricked? Please strike a pose and say, "A mere lollipop thinks it can fool me? You'd need at least two to even try!"]

[2. As the host of this system, you ought to act your age. Please take the other party's lollipop without a second word and obediently submit to the rule of the White Devil mother!]

[3. As the host of this system, how could you let the other party succeed so easily? Please snatch the lollipop from their hand with lightning speed, eat it, then toss it away, saying, "What lollipop? I didn't see any!"]

[Selection Rewards: Choice 1: Noble Phantasm: Infinite Lollipop Production (Upon unleashing the Noble Phantasm, you can produce an infinite number of lollipops. For each lollipop you eat, your magical power increases by 1 level for ten minutes. Magical power levels can stack infinitely!)]

[Choice 2: Title: One Ruled by the White Devil Mother (When danger is detected, the White Devil will sense it and rush over at maximum speed. This title can merge with the host's existing title: Favor of the White Devil, forming a skill: Template: Takamachi Nanoha. Upon activating the template, you can possess 25% of Takamachi Nanoha's strength for ten minutes, adjusted according to her current power level!)]

[Choice 3: Skill: Thick-Skin...]

Alicia couldn't bear to read the rest of the rewards... Those rewards were purely designed to mess with her head!

To be honest, she seriously suspected this system had a naming problem. What was with "Infinite Lollipop Production"... Couldn't you swap the lollipops for something else? Like some sweets, sweets, or more sweets?

She! Alicia Testarossa! Loved sweets more than anything!

Incidentally, among the options above, Alicia chose the second one!

Yeah! She definitely wasn't admitting she picked it because she liked Nanoha's flashy bombardment style.

Although the system's naming sense and some of its event descriptions left Alicia speechless, right now she had something more important to deal with--

"Fate Testarossa!" Upon learning the name of the girl who looked exactly like her, Alicia fell silent for a moment. Was she a little sister Mom gave birth to for me? But why did that sister look so sorrowful?

Alicia couldn't quite understand. Well, it had been over twenty years—she had no idea how her mother was doing now!

[That girl is an artificial lifeform created by your mother using your genetic factors, implanted with the memories you once had... It's just a pity, really. In the end, she is Fate, not you, Alicia...]

"Eh?! Who's that..." Alicia was suddenly startled, her gaze quickly sweeping around her surroundings.

"What's wrong, Alicia?" Nanoha looked at the startled Alicia with concern.

[I am the Administrator of the System Network. I'm currently adjusting the system to allow you to participate in the System Network! I happened to overhear you talking to yourself, so I chimed in.]
