Even If I Jump from Here and Die, I Absolutely Won't Cross-Dress! / What's a Lucky One? This Is a Lucky One!

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Jealousy +10086."

Haibara Ai: "Honestly, I've never gotten rewards like Illya's. Aside from the formula for my own APTX4869, the only fairly impressive reward I've received was probably physical enhancement... Hmm... The allowance it gives me is pretty nice, though. At least I'm not short on bags anymore..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yours are still fine, Ai. Are my check-in tasks and rewards seriously normal?"

Yukino, who was doing her homework, genuinely felt like crying without tears. Why were her tasks and rewards always so strange?

Haibara Ai: "Is doing homework improper?"

Ai tilted her head. She did not quite understand Yukino's train of thought. Could there be some inappropriate questions in the homework?

In an instant, Ai's gaze sharpened. Don't tell me... I'll get a task like that too?

It was one thing for her, an eighteen-year-old girl, to attend elementary school, but if the system gave her a Huanggang Secret Scroll too, she truly would not be able to take it. Though with her knowledge, doing that homework would not really amount to much.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Why don't you try it, Ai? I'll give you my test paper. You do it?"

Haibara Ai: "...The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

Administrator: "That was a pretty slick move... Ai..."

Busujima Saeko: "My rewards have been relatively normal. Thanks to the system, my accomplishments in kendo should have no rivals left in this world, at least..."

Busujima Saeko's most frequent rewards were still physical and swordsmanship enhancements. Her physical condition and mastery of kendo had now reached heights her former self could never have imagined.

Haibara Ai: "Although children do not really need strength, I'd still be happy to have it backing me up. At least I wouldn't have to worry about the Black Organization attacking or anything. So... I'm genuinely jealous..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Me too. I'm genuinely jealous. If I didn't want strength, who would ever want to do homework?!"

Illya: "..."

Illya felt it was better for her to remain silent. Out of everyone, she had benefited the most from her own world.

Since check-ins were most likely to yield things from one's own world, most of what Illya received came from her world. As a result, most of the things Ai and the others could receive also came from her world...

Administrator: "..."

Chu Chen also silently lurked in the chat. Right now, he was in his office creating a brand-new system.

No.5 Check-in System: Completion Rate: 75%

By the way, Chu Chen had also been surprised that Illya could obtain Nanoha's Transformation Card.

But only then did he discover that among the worlds where he could deploy systems, a brand-new world had appeared, with only a tiny corner exposed...

In Chu Chen's eyes, every world was shrouded in mist, with only Illya's world remaining uncovered.

And beside Illya's world, there was unexpectedly another world with only a tiny corner exposed. This truly surprised Chu Chen.

Moreover, there was a possibility that this tiny corner of a world was connected to Illya's world...

"This is... Come to think of it, I remember that the Magical Girl Illya manga once had a crossover with Nanoha, right? If that's the case, it explains why Illya could get Nanoha's Transformation Card... Since that's so, I'll toss the new system into that world. Any Magical Girl would be great..."

Thinking this, Chu Chen continued his tale of system development...

I'd Rather Jump Down From Here and Die Than Cross-Dress!

The production cycle for a system was extremely long. Although as his proficiency increased, Chu Chen had become quite adept at making Check-in Systems, and shortening the production cycle was no problem at all, the time required was still relatively long.

He still remembered when he had first been outside the various worlds, observing them. That lengthy passage of time had nearly driven Chu Chen mad. Still, he was a little curious. Although he might no longer be human now, why had he basically never felt time leave any traces on him while outside the worlds?

However, after giving it some brief thought, Chu Chen did not pay it much attention.

I'll just treat it as me no longer being human... Chu Chen thought to himself.

Chu Chen spent the entire day engrossed in making systems. Aside from checking on Illya's situation while he was teaching, he had nothing else to do.

After all, Chu Chen's current identity was merely for the convenience of living his daily life. For him, things would naturally be more enjoyable once the main storyline appeared. If Illya could obtain more rewards, he could obtain more rewards as well.

His gaze could not help but sweep outside, and disappointment faintly appeared on Chu Chen's face.

He had actually been keeping an eye out for whether Miyu had appeared. The moment Miyu entered this world would basically be the moment the main storyline began, so Chu Chen had always been preparing to pick up... a little girl...

With his current assets, could it be that he could not afford to raise one little girl? Impossible!

"Teacher Chu Chen..."

A day of studying passed quickly. The moment Illya reached the school gate, she ran into Chu Chen.

However, after glancing at Illya and seeing that she was alone, curiosity immediately appeared on Chu Chen's face.

"Where's Shirou? Why didn't that guy go home with you...?"

Chu Chen did not feel the slightest guilt toward the culprit responsible for making Emiya Shirou so miserable. On the contrary, he even wanted to keep tormenting him. But right now, he was more curious about what had happened to Emiya Shirou.

Chu Chen did not have any classes today, so he had spent most of his time in the office developing systems.

At his words, Illya's little face instantly flushed red. The moment her brother was mentioned, Illya recalled what had happened that morning.

She had actually said something like that. It was... so embarrassing...

And Sella seemed to have come over afterward too. How was she supposed to face Sella and her brother from now on...

If Mother Irisviel found out... Cold sweat was already pouring down Illya's back.

Although her brother's side seemed like it would be even worse, her own fate would not be much better, right?

Seeing Illya look utterly lifeless, Chu Chen smacked his lips but did not say anything. After saying goodbye to Illya, he quietly began wandering around Fuyuki City. There was no rush to go back anyway.

From the end of school until he returned home to sleep at night, Chu Chen basically spent his time wandering outside.

Maybe he would run into some angel descending from the sky, one who claimed to be an entertainment-type angel while firing countless missiles and nuking all of Fuyuki...

Or perhaps he would encounter a Spatial Tremor, after which a purple-haired girl would emerge with a greatsword and point it at him, saying she would chop him to death if he did not give her soybean flour bread...

Or maybe a hapless big dog in a bodysuit would stab him with a spear, followed by a girl popping out and yelling something like, "You're my goddamn Master!"

Of course, none of the above scenes would appear in this city. They were purely Chu Chen's personal fantasies.

Haibara Ai's full-day check-in had ended. Please choose one reward from all check-in rewards: 1% of the APTX4860 formula, Agility +1, Firearms Mastery, Strength +1, Criminology Mastery, A-Rank Item Creation, Biochemistry Mastery.

Chu Chen's eyes immediately lit up. Ai had actually obtained A-Rank Item Creation. This should have come from Illya's world, while Item Creation was also a class skill of the Caster class. It was presumably derived from Medea's abilities.

Although Illya's world followed the Magical Girl Illya route, it was also connected to the Holy Grail War, so receiving this was only natural.

Now that Ai had obtained Item Creation, she could make quite a few magical tools for self-defense or for people around her to use. In fact, among all system hosts, Ai was currently the only one being hunted. Her small build ultimately limited her too much, so Chu Chen paid particular attention to her. If necessary, he could go over and help at any time. It could not be helped; Chu Chen was too low-level. The cheats he could create were indeed cheats for Ai and the others, but—

To Chu Chen, who had read countless web novels, these cheats could only show off their might in ordinary worlds...

But now, Ai probably no longer needed him to worry about her.

Silently, Chu Chen chose A-Rank Item Creation. In the next instant, countless pieces of knowledge and related abilities flooded into his mind.

The original A-Rank Item Creation was instantly strengthened into EX-Rank Item Creation when it reached Chu Chen. Not only that, this Item Creation did not merely contain Caster Medea's Item Creation; it even fused together the Item Creation of every Caster, immediately giving Chu Chen countless new methods.

"Snap!"

After glancing around and confirming that there was no one else nearby, Chu Chen quietly snapped his fingers, and then—

In an instant, the ground began to tremble. Amid the sound of earth exploding apart, a Golem appeared on the street.

It resembled a stone giant, with bulging muscles and an incredibly sturdy body. Its limbs were short and somewhat bloated, yet even an outsider could tell with one glance that this was a Golem brimming with raw power.

"Success. Ai really is my lucky star... I thought I'd only be able to fight people in close combat from now on, but with these methods, I won't have to fear anything at all... Avicebron's Item Creation really is useful... What a pity..."

What Chu Chen found regrettable was that King Solomon's Item Creation as a Grand primarily manifested in contracts. King Solomon's 72 Pillars of Demon Gods were, in reality, familiars summoned through EX-Rank summoning...

Ignoring the Golem beside him, Chu Chen slowly left the area. The Golem, having lost its magical energy, instantly collapsed and returned to the earth.

The Golem's strength was not weak, but it ultimately could not compare to a Heroic Spirit. At most, it could help clear out cannon fodder.

And no matter how many there were, it would only take one Excalibur from King Arthur...

"Looks like I still need other methods... Hmm..."

Illya's full-day check-in had ended. Please choose one reward from all check-in rewards.

Though Illya spent the entire day at school, when Chu Chen did not issue tasks, the system would automatically issue daily check-in tasks. And there was a limit to the number of check-in tasks issued.

Although Illya was always at school, she could still trigger a certain number of ordinary check-in tasks there every day.

Magic Power +1, Height +1, Magical Girl Transformation Card, Magical Girl cosplay outfit...

The rewards after that were basically useless, so Chu Chen largely ignored them.

His attention was mainly focused on Magical Girl Transformation Card and Magic Power +1. Which of these two would help him the most? One required him to sacrifice his dignity and even his face in order to use it, while the other...

Magic Power +1 was almost useless to Chu Chen now. Back in the early days, Illya checked in every day, and Magic Power +1 appeared almost two out of every three days. Illya's contribution to the magical energy he had in his body now was definitely the greatest!

And Chu Chen had tested it before. At his current level, just how much improvement would Magic Power +1 bring?

The result was that the increase was not much at all. What Chu Chen needed was improvement in other areas.

"But no matter what, I'd rather die than cross-dress..."

Saying this, Chu Chen silently pressed—

Magical Girl Transformation Card!

His eyelid twitched slightly, and Chu Chen immediately left the area.

My hand just slipped and pressed the wrong one. It definitely wasn't because I wanted to cross-dress!

Yeah! Definitely not!

What Is a European Emperor? This Is What a European Emperor Is!

Miyu felt extremely wary, because this strange-looking man in front of her seemed to be preparing to abduct her.

Chu Chen held a lollipop in his hand, with what appeared to be an ill-intentioned smile on his face.

She had indeed been taken away by Einsworth before, then rescued by her brother. He had used a Holy Grail wish to send her to this world. She had not eaten much along the way and was indeed a little hungry.

But she had not reached the point of losing her judgment. The boy before her behaved almost exactly like the strange uncles in the books she had read who abducted children.

Of course, Miyu did not say that aloud. Otherwise, Chu Chen would probably clutch his chest and declare that he could not possibly be a pervert, though he knew that what he was doing was basically the same routine those creepy uncles used.

"Little sister, I'm Big Brother Chu Chen. Looking at you, are you hungry? Do you have nowhere to stay? Do you need help?"

Faced with Chu Chen's three questions of the soul, expressionless Miyu stared at him coldly, then—

"No!"

"She rejected me so decisively!" Chu Chen hurriedly stepped back, instantly beginning to doubt his own charm.

So he could not even abduct a little girl. As a qualified gentleman, he had truly failed too badly!

Miyu looked expressionlessly at Chu Chen. She did not know whether he was a good person or a bad person, but his behavior gave her the impression of a creepy uncle. Besides, Miyu had only just arrived in this world and was still completely lost. How could she so casually place any degree of trust in someone?

For her, compared with a relationship built on trust, a transactional relationship would probably make her feel more at ease.

But Miyu was unwilling to leave with him, and that gave him quite a headache.

No matter what, Chu Chen could not forcibly drag Miyu into his home. So now, he could only...

Chu Chen silently sighed in his heart. He had not expected that he would really have to use this. He actually did not want to use such a method!

Quietly, Chu Chen turned around and lightly waved his right hand, as though bidding her farewell. But in reality...

Miyu tilted her head as she watched Chu Chen gradually walk away, a confused expression appearing on her face. Wasn't he trying to abduct her? Had she misunderstood him? That was not how the scenarios she had read about in books were supposed to go...

After Miyu fell into confusion for half a minute, a voice in her mind broke the silence.

"The Strongest Check-in System has been loaded. Please claim the Beginner's Gift Package and today's check-in..."

"...What was that sound???"

After glancing around, Miyu did not find anyone else approaching her. Then... that voice...

"Please do not panic, host. This system is a Check-in System loaded into your mind. You can continuously grow stronger through daily check-ins and check-in tasks. Everything in this world may become a reward for the host."

"Divine Era Magic, the Five Great Magics, the skills and Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits... These powerful forces may all become the host's power!"

Miyu: "..."

Although she wanted to rationally question the system's origins and source, the bait it had dangled was simply—

Too irresistible!

It was not that Miyu was immature or lacked even the slightest vigilance. This thing was simply too tempting!

How could she possibly not care at all about her brother in that other world? If she had possessed strength, how could she have been willing to remain in this world? The system before her had given her an opportunity to gain power. No matter what, she could not let it go. Even if this system might be a trap, she still had to jump into it!

Chu Chen glanced at the successful loading on his side and also let out a sigh of relief.

This system had originally been intended for Nanoha World, but there was no helping it. Chu Chen had always been extremely cautious. He was worried that his attempt to abduct a little girl... Pfft, pfft, pfft... that his attempt to comfort a little girl would fail, so he quietly prepared a second plan.

That was to load the system and then have Miyu come to him according to its tasks...
