Ai Haibara: ...I'm jealous! (Bonus chapter) / So Kuro was the source of the bad-luck blood inside Illya! (Bonus chapter) ...

Not only could the system continue operating in other worlds, but if they arrived in a high-level world, the chances of the system obtaining abilities, skills, items, and other rewards from that world would be even greater.

In other words, carrying out a System Agent Team activity was a guaranteed profit with no risk of loss!

Haibara Ai: ...I'm so jealous! (Bonus Chapter)

Administrator: "System Agent Team Permission.JPG! A very fast way to earn points! Anyone who wants in, hurry up and sign up! I'm planning to bring Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate in now. Then we'll have enough people!"

That was right. Chu Chen had already finished creating the systems. As for why it had been so fast, it was because—

The host interfered with the collection of seven Class Cards. The appearance of Chloe von Einzbern and other factors caused slight changes to the Worldline of "Magical Girl Illya," triggering a System Completion Critical Hit!

The host interfered with the Seed of the Holy Stone incident and the Book of Darkness incident, causing major changes to the Worldline of "Magical Girl Nanoha," triggering a System Completion Critical Hit!

The host completed the creation of multiple systems for the first time, triggering a System Creation Critical Hit! System yield ×2!

The Illya World had indeed seen Illyasviel von Einzbern appear early, and she might even let go of her hatred for Illya ahead of time. However, that did not affect the development of the Illya World much, so it only counted as a minor change. The Nanoha World was different.

Nanoha and Fate had reconciled early. In the original story, Nanoha and Fate's struggle over the Seed of the Holy Stone caused a small Dimensional Tremor, which drew the TSAB over. But now, the TSAB had not come knocking. This directly affected Nanoha and Fate's futures, and even the plot of the third season might disappear. That was why the Nanoha World's Worldline had undergone such a major change.

Of course, the matter of the Book of Darkness's Four Knights would be discovered sooner or later, so...

It was only a matter of time before the TSAB came knocking.

What surprised Chu Chen even more was that system creation could trigger critical hits too, directly doubling the system yield!

Chu Chen felt that this system-creation game was getting more and more outrageous. Still, having more systems on his side was a good thing. There was basically nothing left to do in the Illya World anyway. More importantly, there were no real opponents there. Chu Chen thought even the FGO Worldline was more interesting than this place.

Haibara Ai: "!!!"

Haibara Ai: "System Agent Permission! There's actually a way to play like this? I have to admit, I'm tempted!"

Ai's expression became incredibly complicated. Although she was basically invincible in her own world now, that did not mean Haibara Ai lacked a sense of danger. She did not know this System Creator. So many people in this System Network had systems—what if someone in the Black Organization got one someday? What if a villain from another world could travel between worlds like the System Network Administrator and came to her world one day?

It was not that Ai was overthinking things. That possibility was not impossible...

She had always been someone with a strong sense of vigilance. Even now, Ai worried that other dangers might appear.

Ai would not refuse an opportunity to grow stronger. In fact, after seeing this permission, she had another idea. If she carried out missions, perhaps she could leave herself a backup route in another world.

If the Black Organization ever discovered her sister, perhaps she could send her sister to that world.

Open attacks were easy to dodge, but hidden arrows were hard to guard against. Haibara Ai could not stay by her sister's side twenty-four hours a day.

Ilyasviel: "Going to other worlds? It sounds pretty interesting..."

Miyu: "Will earning points be faster? Mr. Chu Chen, I want to join this..."

Administrator: "Anyone who wants to join, sign up! I've opened a passage for you to Alicia's world. You can go directly to Alicia's world and wait for me to activate the mission. Anyone who wants to join should go to Alicia! I'll head over too when the time comes! Alicia, I'm bringing Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate in now. Gather the three of them together and explain the system to them!"

Silently, Chu Chen handed three Check-in Systems over to Nanoha and the other two.

He had marked Nanoha's group long ago, so he could hand systems over to the three of them whenever he wanted.

Now that he had given Nanoha's group their systems, he would go see Illyasviel von Einzbern and give her a Check-in System too.

Of the original four Selection Systems and six Check-in Systems, he had already given away four. After that, only four Selection Systems and two Check-in Systems remained. With so many people in the System Network, they could roughly split into three teams and head to three worlds. Each of the six systems could take two systems along, treating it as a trip while selling systems at the same time.

By the way, the reason he used sales to give out systems was that, aside from Chu Chen's personal wishes, normal system deployment was basically random. Everything depended on luck. Since someone wanted to take the back door and get a system directly, they naturally had to pay a price.

Takamachi Nanoha has entered the System Network

Fate Testarossa has entered the System Network

Yagami Hayate has entered the System Network

Takamachi Nanoha: "Alicia, is this the System Network you mentioned?"

Fate Testarossa: "There's actually a way to increase one's strength like this?"

Yagami Hayate: "It's like a chatroom..."

Haibara Ai: "Um... Administrator, how can you bring people in? Aren't systems assigned randomly?"

Ai's vigilance left Chu Chen momentarily speechless. Damn! I accidentally let it slip!

Ahem... Fortunately, Chu Chen had prepared for this. Otherwise, his System Creator main account would have been exposed.

Administrator: "I'm basically a system agent now. The System Creator gave me ten systems and added the System Agent Team Permission function, so I can also sell systems to earn points..."

As he spoke, Chu Chen took a screenshot of his points interface and sent it into the System Network.

The image showed a total of three thousand points. According to the Point Function on Chu Chen's side, once a Check-in System was deployed, the base reward was 100 points. Then, depending on who received the system, that amount would be multiplied, with the highest multiplier being ten times.

As the children of destiny in the Nanoha World and three of the TSAB's Big Three, these three were unquestionably pillars of the Nanoha World in terms of strength, potential, and luck. They were experts in every respect, so it was only normal for Chu Chen to receive the tenfold multiplier.

Haibara Ai: "..."

Haibara Ai: "I'm so jealous! You got three thousand points in one go!"

Chu Chen's three thousand points were enough to exchange for three Gold Check-in Rewards. Unlike them, everyone else still had zero points.

And from what they knew, even selling a Bronze Check-in Reward only earned one hundred points...

To earn three thousand points through Bronze Rewards, they would need thirty Bronze Check-in Rewards...

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Jealous +1..."

Busujima Saeko: "Jealous +1..."

Ilyasviel: "Jealous +1..."

Miyu: "Jealous +1..."

Alicia Testarossa: "Jealous +10086..."

So Illyasviel von Einzbern Was the Source of Illya's Blood of the Unlucky! (Bonus Chapter)

"Eh? Is this why Illya could become so powerful?"

As Illyasviel von Einzbern sensed the Check-in System in her mind, her expression immediately became extremely complicated.

She was not someone who knew nothing. Illya had heard of system novels before, so indirectly, Illyasviel von Einzbern knew about so-called system novels as well. She had simply never expected that she would possess such a system one day.

What surprised her even more was that Illya had become so strong because of this system.

No wonder Illyasviel von Einzbern had found Illya's rapid growth so unbelievable. She could become stronger just by sitting around normally.

But what Illyasviel von Einzbern found even more unbelievable was that Chu Chen had given her this system just like that.

It made her feel exceptionally warm inside. At the very least, it proved that Chu Chen truly cared about her.

For Illyasviel von Einzbern, who had just separated from Illya's body, everything around her was both familiar and strange. There were almost no people she could trust completely. Umm... her brother counted as one. Illya was a brother-con, and Illyasviel von Einzbern naturally was one too. But she had not returned home yet and had been staying with Chu Chen all this time. What Chu Chen had done for her had naturally raised her affection for him as high as it could possibly go.

"That's right. I received ten systems from the manufacturer, and six are still left. Next, I plan to take everyone in the System Network to complete System Agent Team missions and sell systems. Want to go have some fun? You need something else to help you relax a little too... Besides, other worlds are pretty interesting, aren't they?"

Chu Chen extended an invitation to Illyasviel von Einzbern. By the way, she had given herself a name.

Chloe von Einzbern—Illyasviel von Einzbern for short. It was exactly the same name as in the original work...

Illyasviel von Einzbern thought about it for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I'll listen to Teacher Chu Chen... But Teacher, I don't have anywhere to live right now, so from now on, I can only stay here with you! And if you don't want me attacking Illya, you'd better keep a close eye on me..."

As she spoke, Illyasviel von Einzbern deliberately moved closer to Chu Chen, her gaze becoming extraordinarily heated.

Yes, she had to admit that she wanted Chu Chen's body. Not only did she have feelings for him, but the mana within him made Illyasviel von Einzbern's heart tremble as well. As long as she stayed by Chu Chen's side, she would not need to worry about running out of mana.

After all, Illyasviel von Einzbern survived by relying on mana. If she ran out of mana, she would disappear.

So clinging tightly to this thigh was necessary... Besides, Illyasviel von Einzbern truly did not want to return to her own home.

The reason was simple. She did not want to see someone at Illya's house...

She could forgive Illya, because Illyasviel von Einzbern knew in her heart that Illya truly was innocent.

But that person... Irisviel von Einzbern was the chief culprit who had sealed her away.

She was her mother. Illyasviel von Einzbern could not bring herself to hate her, but neither could she forgive her.

Chu Chen was not surprised that Illyasviel von Einzbern clung to him. After all, now that she had set aside her resentment toward Illya, all that remained was her desire to survive. So it was perfectly normal for her to stay with him.

Who could blame her when he possessed such an enormous Mana Source? Besides, Chu Chen could tell that she still could not let go of some things from the past. That was why Illyasviel von Einzbern chose to live with him—out of sight, out of mind...

Illyasviel von Einzbern opened the Beginner's Gift Package and obtained Inherent Domain: Unlimited Blade Works.

Takamachi Nanoha opened the Beginner's Gift Package and obtained an opportunity to upgrade Raising Heart. (AS-era Raising Heart)

Fate Testarossa opened the Beginner's Gift Package and obtained an opportunity to upgrade Lightning Axe. (AS-era Lightning Axe)

Yagami Hayate opened the Beginner's Gift Package and obtained Character Template: TSAB Yagami Hayate.

Administrator: "???"

Chu Chen stared blankly at the things these newcomers had obtained. Was their luck really this good?

And Chu Chen had just been wondering what to do about Hayate having no combat ability, yet Hayate had now obtained her own character template!

Hayate aside, Illyasviel von Einzbern had actually obtained Unlimited Blade Works directly...

"This is..." As Illyasviel von Einzbern sensed the Inherent Domain she had just acquired, her expression changed again and again.

"This feeling of ascending to heaven in one step really is extraordinary, but this Inherent Domain consumes far too much mana!"

As she spoke, Illyasviel von Einzbern could not help giving a bitter smile. Using this Inherent Domain once would probably drain nearly all her mana!

So she still could not use this Inherent Domain casually.

Ilyasviel: "Um... Teacher Chu Chen, if we go to another world now, what about things at home...?"

Illya did not mind going to another world to carry out missions, but she was worried about how to explain things at home.

Haibara Ai: "Same. I don't want my sister worrying about me..."

This was unlike their previous trip to Saeko's world, where they could come and go freely. This would probably be a long-term mission.

Takamachi Nanoha: "Mmm... It'll be hard to fool my family too... Collecting the Seed of the Holy Stone was at least within this city, but going to another world would be much more troublesome..."

Administrator: "System Agent Team Notice.JPG!"

The notice stated that as long as there were no other system hosts in a system host's world while they carried out this mission, once the mission ended, those system hosts could return to the exact moment they had left.

This was a convenience provided to those system hosts.

Of course, this only applied while carrying out the mission. The next time they traveled to that world, if it was not for this mission, time in both worlds would flow normally.

Haibara Ai: "That works! At least I won't have to worry about my sister worrying about me!"

Fate Testarossa: "Um... Can I bring Arf along for the mission?"

Administrator: "Of course. Nanoha should bring that perverted ferret too... Ahem, I mean Yuuno. Hayate should bring the Four Knights as well. I don't oppose you carrying out missions, but Yuuno and the Four Knights have more life experience than you. They can help you a lot with many things."

Haibara Ai: "I'm ready to set off. Administrator, I'll be waiting for you in Alicia's world..."

Ai was very much looking forward to her first meeting with the Administrator.

Administrator: "Okay. I'll bring my dark-skinned loli who just got back from Africa and head over right away!"

Illyasviel von Einzbern: "A dark-skinned loli who just got back from Africa... I should have had the same skin tone as Illya! Who the hell knew that this Archer Class Card would dye my snow-white skin dark?!"

Illyasviel von Einzbern looked at Chu Chen with some frustration.

If she could have snow-white skin, who would want dark skin...

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I get it now! So Illyasviel von Einzbern was the source of the Blood of the Unlucky inside Illya? After separating Illyasviel von Einzbern from her body, Illya completely said goodbye to bad luck and became a European Emperor! As expected of you, Illya!"

Illya: "..."

Illyasviel von Einzbern: "..."

There was actually an explanation like that?

Who Are You Calling an Unlucky Illya?! (Bonus Chapter)

This time, not everyone was willing to carry out the mission, since Chu Chen believed in voluntary participation.

It did not matter if some people in the System Network were willing to stay as they were. Yukino was one such example.

That was perfectly normal. Yukino's world was an entirely ordinary daily-life world, and Yukino herself faced no danger. Unlike Ai, she had a very clear enemy, and it was the kind of conflict where only one side could survive.

So it was understandable that Yukino did not participate in this mission. Chu Chen had never said everyone had to join.
