I, System Maker Chapter 24

PS2: Seven updates, the update time is similar to yesterday.

Chapter 47: Face the Gale!

Nanoha and Fate's interaction went much smoother than expected, as both of them were in the same position now.

Precia no longer craved the Seed of the Holy Stone. Her only concern now was finding a way to return Alicia to her original body. Chu Chen had mentioned that Alicia's current state was due to his methods, and he would be responsible for finding a way to return her to her original body, though it would take some time.

Precia said she didn't mind the wait, as long as Alicia could stay by her side. However, Chu Chen also mentioned that if Alicia couldn't return to her original body, she would likely never grow up. After all, Alicia was a Heroic Spirit now, and had Chu Chen ever seen a Heroic Spirit grow normally like a human?

Alicia declared that she absolutely did not want to remain a child forever. If Fate grew up to be as tall as her mother Precia, and they walked out together, it wouldn't look like sisters, but rather like a mother and daughter! Alicia absolutely did not want that!

Although Precia stated that she wouldn't mind if her daughter remained like this forever.

It would be even better, Alicia could always snuggle in her arms and act spoiled...

Chu Chen was speechless at this thought from Precia, finding it truly beyond words.

"Brother Chu Chen, why aren't we going to find Sister Nanoha to collect the Seed of the Holy Stone together... If you helped, Sister Nanoha's side would be much easier..."

As Alicia and Chu Chen walked, Alicia couldn't help but complain to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen had already been in this world for a day, having stayed at the Time Garden last night.

After all, Chu Chen didn't have his own place in this world, and Precia also wanted him to stay overnight.

On a side note, Chu Chen had also received rewards from the System Network for six people last night. However, when Chu Chen saw Alicia's reward, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

[Heroic Spirit Foundation x1, Psionic Core Scale +1, Title: Favor of the White Devil, Title: Person Ruled by the Mother of the White Devil, Title: Loli Charm, Title: Sister's Authority, Own Skill +1, Character Template: Takamachi Nanoha (Skills obtained after fusion are also considered rewards), Attribute: Big Sister]

This was a title master, receiving almost exclusively title rewards...

And not to mention, these title rewards were very useful! For example, summoning the White Devil, or possessing Fate's abilities. The titles could even be fused to form character templates, directly granting a quarter of the target's combat power.

Even a quarter of Nanoha's combat power would be a significant boost for Alicia...

Looking at the numerous rewards, Chu Chen fell silent for a moment before finally muttering.

"Most of these rewards don't really fit my style... Why not give me something like 'Brother's Authority' or 'Shota Charm'... If I chose 'Loli Charm,' my whole style would change..."

Silently, Chu Chen chose the character template: Takamachi Nanoha. Playing with her magic cannon seemed quite interesting.

[Congratulations on obtaining Character Template: Takamachi Nanoha. You can choose to directly extract Takamachi Nanoha's attributes, skills, and abilities without changing your appearance (of course, if the host wants to cross-dress, there's no objection).]

Cross-dressing? Absolutely not! Never in this lifetime!

Chu Chen silently chose to extract directly. He hadn't forgotten that he still had a Magical Girl Transformation Card!

One time was enough! Get lost for the second time!

[Character Template: Takamachi Nanoha is in an upgradable state. After upgrading, it will fuse all the powers possessed by Takamachi Nanoha from all timelines, past, present, and future. Do you wish to upgrade?]

Chu Chen silently fused the character template Takamachi Nanoha into his body. Instantly, the system manufacturing changed again.

"What is this... a template system... but it's grayed out and unselectable. I can't manufacture yet?"

Chu Chen couldn't help but curl his lips. Could this manufacturing system's system please show itself? At least tell me how to activate it! Of course, he knew that this hope was unlikely...

"Looks like I'll have to research this thing myself..."

After silently complaining, Chu Chen began to feel the power that had merged into his body.

Feeling this power, Chu Chen couldn't help but mutter. The powers of all versions of Nanoha had merged into his body: Nanoha from the Seed of the Holy Stone era, Nanoha from the Book of the Darkness era, Nanoha from the JS era, Nanoha from the Prince's boxing era...

And so on, the magic power from Nanoha at different stages had converged. Chu Chen even suspected that this magic power had surpassed the magic power of the strongest in the Nanoha world – the Alliance Leader Yuri... Who was claimed by the Dark King Diyaqi to have the power to influence the life activities of a planet. Chu Chen felt that he could now do the same.

"Brother Chu Chen..."

Chu Chen, who was contemplating how to activate the template system, was suddenly awakened by Alicia's call.

Last night, he had primarily focused his attention on this template system.

"What is it?" Chu Chen looked at Alicia with a bewildered expression.

"I've been asking you why we aren't going to find Sister Nanoha to collect the Seed of the Holy Stone together?"

To Chu Chen's amusement, Nanoha and Fate's relationship wasn't as good as in the original work. However, Alicia had a very high impression of Nanoha, seemingly captivated by Nanoha's magic cannon.

Alicia had now completely become Nanoha's fan.

If one were to describe the relationship between Nanoha and Alicia with a title, it would probably be—

I wanted to be friends with Fate, but I became Fate's sister first...

"Your relationship with Fate is already good enough. Let Fate properly interact with Nanoha..."

With Chu Chen's intervention now, Nanoha and Fate's relationship was much better than at this point in the original work, but...

It was precisely because of this that their relationship hadn't skyrocketed like a rocket the moment they met, as in the original work.

After all, Nanoha's persistence in interacting with Fate in the original work was also the reason for their relationship's rapid improvement in the end.

Now, Fate and Nanoha had only met twice, where was the persistence...

"Waaah... That's true..."

Alicia, looking dejected, lowered her head. But at that moment—

From the corner ahead, a girl sitting in a wheelchair slowly appeared, and Alicia didn't notice this.

Suddenly, the girl in the wheelchair felt as if her wheelchair had bumped into something, and she quickly spoke.

"Sorry..."

The girl had short brown hair that reached her ears, and her beautiful eyes looked forward with considerable unease.

Meanwhile, Chu Chen held the still-shaken Alicia in his arms, looking at the girl before him with a peculiar expression.

Well, now the big three are all here!

Everyone! Face the wind!

Chapter 48: Your name is Yagami Hayate? Then is your brother named Yagami Iori?

The TSAB's big three—Takamachi Nanoha, Fate Testarossa, and Yagami Hayate...

The White Devil, Takamachi Nanoha!

The Golden Reaper, Fate Testarossa!

The Night Sky Demon Lord, Yagami Hayate!

These three could be said to be the most renowned figures in the Time-Space Administration in the future.

However, the current Yagami Hayate was still a child, about Nanoha's age.

And the current Yagami Hayate had not yet reached her fated turning point.

"Did I not hurt you guys..." Yagami Hayate, sitting in her wheelchair, looked at the two people before her with great nervousness.

However, she didn't think her wheelchair could have hit Chu Chen, who looked like an adult, so her gaze was mainly focused on the little girl in Chu Chen's arms. She was a kind child and really didn't want to have hurt anyone.

"Alicia is fine, so don't worry..."

Chu Chen shook his head. The moment he saw her, his dark eyes lit up slightly.

He had actually planned to find Yagami Hayate, but he hadn't expected to find her now.

Chu Chen had already marked Fate, and he had also marked Nanoha when he met her today.

By the way, Chu Chen hadn't told Nanoha about the Seed of the Holy Stone. Chu Chen had also asked Fate not to tell Nanoha about the Seed of the Holy Stone she had, and Chu Chen would give it to Nanoha himself later, after he finished his research.

Now, the magic power within Chu Chen had grown to an unimaginable extent, and a mere Seed of the Holy Stone couldn't do anything to Chu Chen.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I should have been watching where I was going..."

Alicia lowered her head obediently and apologized to Yagami Hayate before her.

She knew that the main responsibility for this incident lay with her, not the girl in front of her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just startled, I wasn't hurt, was I?"

Yagami Hayate's face was full of a gentle smile, showing no signs of anger.

On the contrary, she was now very interested in the pairing of the man and woman before her. After all, Hayate was very willing to make friends, but her current circumstances made it difficult for her to make true friends...

"My name is Yagami Hayate. What are your names? Can you tell me..."

As she said this, Yagami Hayate put on a smiling face.

"Your name is Yagami Hayate, so perhaps you have a brother named Yagami Iori, a younger brother named Yagami Taichi, and a younger sister named Yagami Hikari..." Chu Chen couldn't help but blurt out, making Yagami Hayate stare blankly.

Yagami Iori? Yagami Taichi? Yagami Hikari? Who were these people...

[Ding! A choice has begun! Choice time: 1 minute]

[A certain future Night Sky Breast-Assault King wants to establish the glorious name of this system's host. Host, you choose:]

[1. As the host of this system, how can I lack initiative in my self-introduction? Please, Host, with full momentum and strike a cool pose, and say to the other party, "Hoh hoh hoh hoh... Beyond this destiny, we finally meet. My name is Alicia Testarossa, the future Demon Lord of the Night Sky. My Golden Flash has been waiting for this!"]

[2. As the host of this system, naturally, I cannot lose to my sister Fate in making friends. Please, Host, say, "My name is Alicia Testarossa. Hayate, can I be friends with you?" Then, learn Nanoha's method of making friends: If you don't listen to me, then first take a magic blast from me, and then you can become my good friend!]

[Choice Reward: Choice 1: Obtain 10% of Fate Testarossa's magic power]

[Choice 2: Template - Takamachi Nanoha Level Up: From 25% to 50%]

Haibara Ai: "The first option is obviously for chuunibyous!"

Alicia Testarossa: "When I saw the second option, I thought my system had finally become normal, but after seeing the rest, it actually wanted me to blast Hayate with a magic cannon..."

Administrator: "It's likely that if this magic cannon is fired, the friendship cannon will turn into a friendship-ending cannon..."

Chu Chen looked at the scene with amusement. The current Hayate couldn't withstand a magic blast.

And besides... what kind of nonsense was the first option? Golden Flash was Namikaze Minato's nickname, wasn't it?

But speaking of which, Namikaze Minato was also a bit of a chuunibyou... This phrase would suit him perfectly...

Alicia Testarossa: "Everyone, sisters, and Brother Chu Chen, what should I choose? I really want to choose option one, but I can't say it out loud... I feel like option one is... so embarrassing..."

Alicia's face immediately turned red, and she stood awkwardly in front of Yagami Hayate, making Hayate confused.

"My name is Chu Chen... Her name is..."

[One minute has passed. Option two has been automatically selected for the host]

[This system will automatically control the host to perform the chosen action]

Then, Alicia happily hopped in front of Hayate and spoke.

"My name is Alicia Testarossa. Hayate, can I be friends with you?"

Hearing this, Hayate was first slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, she revealed a brilliant smile.

"Of course!"

Alicia immediately tilted her head, her face full of curiosity as the system suddenly released her body.

Alicia Testarossa: "Huh? Why did the system suddenly release my body?"

Haibara Ai: "It's very simple... Alicia, look carefully at what your system options say..."

Administrator: "It's not listening to you... Since the other party is willing to be your friend, there's no need to activate the friendship cannon. Nanoha fires her magic cannon at those who don't listen to her, but if she fires it at those who do, it would truly become a friendship-ending cannon, wouldn't it..."

Alicia Testarossa: "I see!"

Looking at Chu Chen and Alicia before her, the girl named Yagami Hayate asked with a kind smile.

"What's your relationship? Are you siblings?"

"I know Alicia's mother. I'm taking Alicia around here to play. Alicia's sister and her friend have their own activities, and Alicia's mother also has her own things to do, so I brought Alicia out to play..."

Indeed, Fate and Nanoha went to collect the Seed of the Holy Stone, and Precia...

Chu Chen explained the concept of Heroic Spirits to Precia. Since Precia also wanted to contribute to Alicia's revival, Chu Chen wouldn't stop her. Perhaps something could actually be researched.

However, Chu Chen also advised her not to overuse magic, otherwise, her body, which had finally improved, would worsen again.

"Hayate, why are you out alone... Where are your family members?" Alicia looked at her with great curiosity.

This was because she noticed Hayate was carrying a basket, as if she had just finished grocery shopping.

Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed across Hayate's face.

"I'm all alone at home..."

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, Hayate..."
