Rin Tohsaka: Are You Giving Your Last Words? (Bonus Chapter) / Chu Chen: ...I'll Melt Down This Smart-Mouthed System and Rebuild It Someday!
Illya's brand-new Dark History, get! She would quietly toss it into the System Network later for everyone to admire!
Chu Chen declared that before the new generation's King of Persecution entered the System Network, the persecution of Illya absolutely could not stop!
"Awesome! It really is a maid outfit! And the fabric is so high-class! The stitching is so exquisite! It's the real deal!"
Illya bounced around Miyu in circles, her face brimming with excitement.
Her eyes instantly turned into the spiral eyes from anime, and in the end, she even grabbed Miyu by the shoulders.
"A real elementary school maid!? Call me Master so I can hear it!"
"Huh? Shouldn't I normally call you Big Sis?"
Miyu's retort made Illya freeze slightly, then—
"Enough already! Hurry up and say it!"
In an instant, Illya pressed her face right up against Miyu's. Her eyes seemed to be under someone's control as they instantly turned blood-red, her cheeks flushed bright red, and her excitement was practically overflowing. The immense pressure made Miyu break out in sweat.
"M-Master~~~~"
Watching this scene, Chu Chen, Luvia, and Tohsaka Rin quietly huddled off to the side and began discussing it.
"Illya has the potential to be an S too..."
"Illya clearly has maids at home too, so why is she specifically like this with Miyu..."
"Or is this some special preference of Illya's? Does she only react to elementary school maids..."
For some reason, the three of them had begun an all-around discussion of Illya's preferences, making Illya and Miyu snap back to their senses. Illya had gotten too carried away just now and actually forgotten that there were three other people present.
Administrator has uploaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI." Please accept it, new members! Haibara Ai has downloaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI" Yukino Yukinoshita has downloaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI" Busujima Saeko has downloaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI" Miyu has downloaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI" Ilyasviel has downloaded "Illya's New Dark History.AVI" Haibara Ai: "!!!" Yukino Yukinoshita: "!!!" Busujima Saeko: "!!!" Miyu: "!!!!!" Ilyasviel: "!!!∑(Дノ)ノ!!!∑(Дノ)ノ" Ilyasviel: "Aaaaaaah!!!!!!!! Why did the Administrator see that!? And after seeing it, you casually uploaded it! Administrator, why are you so skilled at doing this kind of thing!!!"
Illya instantly went berserk. Why had the Administrator seen what happened at Teacher Chu Chen's house!?
Could it be... Illya's head seemed to have been fitted with gears as she turned it with great difficulty.
What entered her sight was Chu Chen's devilish smile. After confirming it with her eyes, it really was that black-hearted Administrator!
Haibara Ai: "Poor Illya. I can confirm it now—the Administrator should be able to travel between all our worlds. If I'm not mistaken, Illya, he should be right there with you!"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "That's right. That black-hearted Administrator must have been using his abilities to spy on us all along!"
Ilyasviel: "Ai was right. He's standing right in front of me, smiling as he watches me... After confirming it with my eyes, he really is my teacher!"
Haibara Ai & Yukino Yukinoshita & Busujima Saeko: "!!!"
PS2: There will be another update at midnight...
Tohsaka Rin: Are You Giving Your Last Words?
There was a limit to teasing Illya, so after tossing the recording into the System Network, Chu Chen quietly brought up Install with Tohsaka Rin and Luvia.
By the way, the two staffs, Ruby and Sapphire, were listening nearby as well.
Tohsaka Rin and Luvia did not doubt Chu Chen's words, because he had mentioned that the Class Cards contained the principles of extremely profound Displacement Magic, and both of them had seen Chu Chen use Displacement Magic before.
It was possible that the manufacturing principles behind the Class Cards happened to fall within Chu Chen's area of expertise.
Besides, Chu Chen was not the type to make things up at random. More importantly, wasn't he planning to have Miyu try it right now?
Miyu had already transformed. She held Sapphire in one hand and Saber's Class Card in the other.
"Install!"
The next moment, an azure radiance burst forth. Before Chu Chen and the others' eyes, Miyu was instantly clad in a set of blue-and-white armor, while Sapphire in her hand transformed into an ornate longsword.
A glimmer of wonder shone in Miyu's eyes. So this was what they called Install?
Miyu had never participated in the Einsworth Holy Grail War, so this was also her first time learning that Class Cards could be used this way.
In fact, Install could still be performed even without the Sapphire staff—Emiya Shirou was an example of that... It was merely necessary to know how to use it. Since Miyu did not know the method, she could use Sapphire as a medium to perform Install. That was also the most convenient feature of the Kaleidoscope Staff...
"So cool!" Illya had already recovered from her earlier frenzy.
Although she was shocked to learn that Chu Chen was the Administrator, she could tell from Haibara Ai's previous conversation with him that Chu Chen was merely a System Network holder, much like themselves. Fundamentally, there was not much difference between them.
This Administrator was only responsible for system-related matters, such as bringing other system holders into the System Network... It could be said that he was a kind of representative of the System Creator...
So Illya no longer cared too much about Chu Chen's identity as the Administrator. In fact, his identity being exposed even made her feel somewhat closer to him. When two familiar people suddenly discovered they were actually the same person, that sense of familiarity could stack together, just like it had now.
Looking at Miyu's current appearance, Tohsaka Rin and Luvia hurried over to inspect her from every angle.
"So this is Install..." Tohsaka Rin's face was filled with amazement.
"Could there be any side effects? Miyu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere...?"
Luvia was more worried about Miyu's physical condition... No matter how one looked at it, such a strange method of use was shocking... The Class Card could actually connect to the Throne of Heroes. It sounded unbelievable.
If they had not seen Miyu truly use Install, they would probably have only half-believed Chu Chen's explanation... After all, they had never heard of anything that could allow someone to wield the power of a Heroic Spirit.
So upon seeing this, Luvia's first concern was still Miyu's physical condition.
Miyu moved her body a little. She could now clearly feel the immense power contained within her.
In fact, ever since she had merged with Caster's power, Miyu had already felt this way.
Only under such circumstances could she truly understand just how vast the gap was between human magi and Heroic Spirits.
"There are no abnormalities in Miyu's body, but how do you feel, Miyu...?"
Although Sapphire could examine Miyu's physical state, they still needed to hear Miyu's own feelings.
After all, she was somewhat like an artificial intelligence. There could still be errors if she relied only on her own readings...
Miyu shook her head. She did not feel anything unusual. On the contrary, she was in excellent condition right now!
She felt as though she absolutely would not lose, even if she faced the Saber and Rider from before...
"Then I'll give it a try too..." As she spoke, Illya quietly took out Archer from her pocket.
In order to let Illya and Miyu use the power of the Class Cards whenever they wished, Tohsaka Rin and Luvia had each given their own Class Cards to Illya and Miyu. It was also a matter of convenience for them... They were children, after all, and giving the cards to them would not cause any problems. On the contrary, keeping the Class Cards on themselves was completely useless right now!
Seeing Illya preparing to transform into Archer using the Class Card, Chu Chen's mouth twitched as he hurriedly stopped her.
It was not that he would not let her transform. If Illyasviel von Einzbern emerged from inside her at a time like this, it would be troublesome.
Chu Chen was planning to stay on Nanoha's side for another day or two. As long as he had that time, he could basically build a good relationship with Nanoha and Fate... But if Illyasviel von Einzbern appeared now, she would definitely trouble Illya first. Then he would have to deal with Illyasviel von Einzbern's situation, which would be a complete waste of time...
"Illya, don't try it. I only had Miyu try Install so she would have another means of fighting. It isn't for playing around with. Besides, Install consumes a lot of magical energy, so don't waste it right now..." Chu Chen was naturally only saying this to stop Illya from using it carelessly.
In truth, both Illya and Miyu possessed magical energy on an entirely different level...
If they were truly compared, even adult Luvia and Tohsaka Rin could not match them.
Illya nodded very seriously, then quietly put away her Class Card.
"Oh, right. Remember this: if you overexert yourself while using Install, the Class Card will automatically eject. Um... It's somewhat like a safety mechanism..."
Chu Chen had almost finished explaining when Tohsaka Rin and Luvia could not help looking at him.
"Why do I feel like you're giving your last words..." Tohsaka Rin could not help teasing him.
"It feels like you're an overly concerned butler..." Luvia chimed in.
"You're the one giving your last words!" Chu Chen glared fiercely at Tohsaka Rin. Could she not speak properly? What did she mean, giving last words?
"I'm just leaving Fuyuki City for a bit. I'll be back in a day or two!"
The others nodded subconsciously, but after nodding, they realized what Chu Chen had said.
Tohsaka Rin & Luvia & Illya & Miyu: "Huh!!!!!"
Chu Chen: ...One day, I'm going to throw this foul-mouthed system back into the furnace and remake it!
The system is updating... Once the update is complete, the host will be able to chat with system holders from other worlds. The systems possessed by these system holders were all manufactured in the same factory as this system. Please look forward to it...
Alicia, who was at Nanoha's house, suddenly received this message. She tilted her head, filled with curiosity.
So there were other system holders too... And they were from other worlds...
As Precia's daughter, Alicia had heard of other dimensional worlds before...
Although she had never been to another dimensional world, that was precisely why Alicia was so curious about them... That was why she was so curious about Nanoha's world.
After arriving at Nanoha's house, she had explored all over the place, as though she were curious about everything around her.
Nanoha's mother, Takako Nanoha, was clearly a blonde enthusiast as well. After seeing Alicia, she had enthusiastically welcomed her into their home. She held Alicia in her arms all day long while "ravaging" her blonde hair with both hands. Alicia now understood what the system meant by playing with her blonde hair.
Expressionless, Alicia quietly tidied up her blonde hair before returning to her room.
Everything about this family was great, except that Nanoha and Aunt Momoko loved rubbing her blonde hair, and then...
Every time, she had to fix her hairstyle... It was too troublesome...
Of course, it was only a minor inconvenience. Alicia discovered that her system was even more troublesome.
At first, she had been curious about her cool and aloof system, because it never spoke nonsense. If it had something, it had it; if it did not, it did not. It would definitely say what it could say, and definitely would not say what it could not. Of course, that alone did not make it aloof. What truly made Alicia feel it was aloof was that this thing always spoke very concisely. Other than giving her options, it never looked for her.
But gradually, Alicia discovered from the system's choices that this system was really something else!
For example—
Ding! A choice has begun! Time limit: 1 minute. The mother of a certain White Devil is holding a lollipop and trying to lure you away. Your choice: 1. As this system's host, how can you be lured away so easily? Strike a pose and say, "You think a mere lollipop can lure me away? At the very least, you need to give me two!" 2. As this system's host, you should naturally act your age. Take the other person's lollipop without another word and obediently accept the White Devil's mother's rule! 3. As this system's host, how can you let her succeed so easily? Snatch the lollipop from her hand with lightning speed, eat it, then fling it away and declare, "What lollipop? I didn't see any lollipop!" Choice rewards: Choice 1: Noble Phantasm: Infinite Lollipop Production (After releasing the Noble Phantasm, you can produce unlimited lollipops. Every lollipop you eat raises your magical energy by one level for ten minutes. Magical energy levels can stack without limit!) Choice 2: Title: One Ruled by the Mother of the White Devil (When danger is detected, the White Devil will sense it and rush over at the fastest speed. This title can merge with all of the host's titles: Favor of the White Devil, forming a skill: Template: Takamachi Nanoha. After activating the template, you can possess 25% of Takamachi Nanoha's strength for ten minutes. This will adjust according to Takamachi Nanoha's current strength!) Choice 3: Skill: Thick-skinned...
Alicia said she truly could not bear to read the later rewards... That reward was completely messing with her mindset!
Seriously, she strongly suspected there was something wrong with this system's naming sense. What kind of Infinite Lollipop Production was that... Could it not replace lollipops with something else? Like desserts, desserts, desserts...
She, Alicia Testarossa! What she loved most was desserts!
By the way, among those choices, Alicia had chosen option two!
Hm! She would never admit that she had chosen option two because she liked Nanoha's dazzling bombardments.
Although the system's naming ability and its descriptions of certain events left Alicia unable to complain any further, there was something more important she needed to do right now, and that was—
"Fate Testarossa!" After learning the name of the girl who looked exactly like her, Alicia fell silent. Did Mom give me a younger sister? But why did that younger sister look so sad?
Alicia could not understand it. There was nothing she could do about that—more than twenty years had passed, and she did not know what had happened to her mother!
That was an artificial life-form your mother made using your genetic factors, and she implanted the memories you possessed into her... But it is truly unfortunate. In the end, she is Fate, not you, Alicia...
"Huh! Who was that..." Alicia was suddenly startled and hurriedly looked around.
"What's wrong, Alicia...?" Nanoha looked at the suddenly startled Alicia, her face full of concern.
I am the Administrator of the System Network. I am currently adjusting the system so that you can join the System Network! I happened to hear you talking to yourself just now, so I casually answered.
