At this very moment, Chu Chen and the others had gathered at Yagami Hayate's home.
The main reason was that Alicia was explaining the System to Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate, and also introducing Nanoha and Fate to Hayate. Although Alicia was still a bit conflicted about it because...
"Mmm... If Hayate meets Nanoha-nee and Fate-imouto, Hayate will definitely like them more, and then Hayate will be snatched away by Nanoha-nee and Fate-imouto!"
"What are you talking about..." Hayate couldn't help but laugh at Alicia's words.
In Hayate's mind, the so-called Fate-imouto should be a child one or two years younger than Alicia.
But after actually seeing Fate and Nanoha, Hayate couldn't help but widen her eyes.
This person who was taller than Alicia, was she really Alicia's sister, not her younger sister?
Hayate couldn't help but have this strange thought.
"Mmm... I told you Hayate would like Nanoha-nee and Fate-imouto as soon as they arrived!"
Alicia pouted, her face full of grievance.
She felt like something she cherished had been snatched away by her closest friend.
Hearing this, Hayate found it amusing. She had only chatted with Fate and Nanoha, and Alicia had already thought of this.
Understanding Hayate pulled Alicia over and hugged her directly.
Now that the Book of Night Sky had been taken away by Chu Chen, Hayate's legs had completely recovered.
Of course, after obtaining the character template, Hayate also received a brand new Book of Night Sky and Heavenly Sword Cross. Only Xiao Lin hadn't been obtained yet, possibly because Xiao Lin was an independent life form and wasn't bound to a template.
Xiao Lin's existence was only to assist Hayate in casting magic; she wasn't essential for Hayate to use magic.
Haibara Ai on the side watched the scene with great interest. This was probably their first offline gathering.
Haibara Ai, Busujima Saeko, Ilyasviel, Miyu, Alicia Testarossa, Takamachi Nanoha, Fate Testarossa, Yagami Hayate... Now only the Administrator and Kuro were missing.
As for Yukino, she wasn't interested in this mission, so she didn't come along.
It seemed she planned to live by signing in... but Ai could understand that...
If it weren't for preventing potential future dangers, she wouldn't have come either.
After all, no matter what, strength was the best guarantee for her own safety and the safety of those around her.
"But speaking of which, the Administrator hasn't arrived yet... Miyu, do you know what's going on?"
Ai's gaze turned to Miyu. Everyone knew that Miyu lived with Chu Chen.
But unfortunately—
"I'm staying at Luvia's house tonight, so I don't know about Mr. Chu Chen's situation..."
Miyu was a little unaccustomed to being in front of so many people. If Illya wasn't there, she probably would have just stood there alone, unnoticed by anyone, as she remained silent in her spot...
Upon hearing Ai's question, Miyu paused slightly before speaking.
Ai and Miyu had a decent relationship. At least Ai knew that Miyu wasn't good at communication, so she stood next to Miyu.
"Eh?" Ai was slightly taken aback. She really didn't know about this, as Miyu hadn't mentioned it.
The next moment, her face showed a look of intense strangeness.
"Miyu, aren't you afraid that while you're away, that loli-con Administrator will do something he shouldn't to Kuro... He's a loli-con, you know..."
Miyu's expression couldn't help but change slightly, but she still didn't say anything.
"Ai, could you please speak a little quieter when you're badmouthing me? I can hear you perfectly fine! And you really don't trust my character... Even if I'm in a hurry, I wouldn't do something like that to a child..."
Chu Chen's voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
Chu Chen appeared before everyone, holding Kuro in his arms... No, Kuro was clinging to Chu Chen's neck, leaving Chu Chen's hands free.
Ai couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, but she quickly suppressed it.
After glancing at Kuro in Chu Chen's arms, Ai's mouth twitched fiercely, and her face was filled with disdain.
"You're talking about this while holding Illya, who's from Africa, in your arms. It has absolutely no persuasive power..."
Chu Chen: "..."
Didn't you see my hands are free? Kuro is actually holding me.
Kuro: "..."
Who are you calling Illya from Africa! Do you think this appearance, as if I've returned from Africa, is what I wanted!
Chu Chen and Kuro exchanged a look, then nodded in unison.
The next moment, a mischievous smile appeared on both their faces.
Then, they began to approach Ai.
Ai's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes instinctively began to search for her companions.
It was only then that she realized everyone around her had moved to the side to watch the show.
Frustrated, Ai decided to pull a companion to be a scapegoat, but—
Chu Chen and Kuro quickly grabbed Ai, and then—tickled her.
"Hahaha... I was wrong... Hahahahaha... Don't... Don't tickle me anymore... Hahahahaha..."
Ai was laughing so hard that tears streamed from her eyes, while Chu Chen and Illya had no intention of letting each other go.
Five minutes later, Ai lay on the ground, completely worn out, her eyes teary and unmoving.
Everyone cast a sympathetic glance at each other, and then—continued to spectate and chat.
"Hayate, your legs are already better..."
Although Chu Chen had indeed obtained the Book of Darkness, Hayate's legs shouldn't have healed this quickly, or so Chu Chen had guessed.
He hadn't expected Hayate's legs to have already recovered when he came over this time.
"Yes, and I have to thank you, Brother Chu Chen..." Hayate's face was now full of a happy smile.
After all, being able to meet so many friends and having her body completely healed was arguably the happiest and most fulfilling day for Hayate... She was truly grateful to Chu Chen because she knew from Alicia that this system was given to her by Chu Chen, and it was also because of this system that she could meet so many interesting friends.
"Good deeds always get rewarded, right? After enduring so much pain, it's time for things to get better, isn't it?"
"Mhm!" Hayate smiled and nodded heavily.
"Master..." The Four Knights then approached Chu Chen, looking at him respectfully.
After a brief scan of their expressions, Chu Chen noticed that the initial coldness in their demeanor had significantly softened.
As expected of Hayate... She could capture the hearts of these four knights with just her gentleness.
"Later, they will be divided into three teams to travel to other worlds. You will accompany Hayate then. Don't worry about my safety; I have the strength to ensure I can move freely in any world. Hayate rarely travels far due to her condition, and you all have much more experience than her, so I expect you to do your best..."
"Yes!"
Chapter 61: Serafleur: Magical Girls Really Exist in This World! ()
"Sana-chan! Sana-chan! Look! This is the Magical Girl outfit that big sister had someone troublesome buy from the human world for me! What do you think? Is it pretty? Is it pretty? Is it pretty?"
This was the base of a seemingly luxurious noble family. A young girl radiating vitality and youthfulness was shaking the hands of a calm, intellectual girl about her own size, who wore glasses, and said this as if showing off.
This vibrant and youthful girl had beautiful, jet-black long hair tied into energetic twin tails. Combined with her lively tone, she was just like a cheerful young maiden.
Moreover, this girl possessed an exceptionally delicate and sweet face, exuding a remarkably strong presence. Her playful expression also made her incredibly approachable, drawing people in.
The other intellectual girl had short, shoulder-length black hair, and her pretty face was filled with a look of despair.
The reason was simple: the person clinging to her was her older sister.
But if it were that simple, the girl called Asuna wouldn't be like this.
More importantly, her older sister was a Demon Lord!
How could a Demon Lord like her dress up as a Magical Girl in front of so many people and then act like a child, wanting her younger sister's approval? It was utterly speechless!
Couldn't she have a bit of a Demon Lord's demeanor... And I'm already this old, yet you're still clinging to me like this, it's so embarrassing!
Fortunately, there was no one she knew or any of her Familia Members around, otherwise, Asuna would have cried.
"I've always thought it was amazing that humans could create such perfect Magical Girl outfits!"
"Don't admire humans in such strange places!" Asuna really couldn't help but complain.
She gently put down her sister's hands, took a deep breath, and finally regained her usual calm and seriousness.
Asuna Cydy, this was the name of the girl, the youngest daughter of the Cydy family among the Seventy-Two Pillars of Demons.
And the one before her was Serafleur Leviathan, originally Serafleur Cydy, but after succeeding the Leviathan Demon Lord, Serafleur changed her surname to Serafleur Leviathan.
The Four Great Demon Lord Lineages were Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus. Serafleur had succeeded to the position of Leviathan Demon Lord and was one of the Four Great Demon Lords of the demonic forces in this Biblical System.
Yet, such a Demon Lord displayed such a playful and lively side in front of her younger sister.
"Sister, don't you forget what I came back for..." Asuna looked at her sister with a serious expression.
"Of course, Asuna, you've come back to challenge the guy who wants to marry you! As long as Asuna wins, this arranged marriage can be called off... Hehehehe, if Asuna is to marry, she can only marry me!"
"Sister!!!!"
Faced with her sister's words, which sounded like a confession, Asuna collapsed once more.
That's right, her sister was an absolute sis-con, the kind who would never give her sister to anyone else.
Her sister wanted to get married? Fine! I'll just kill that marriage partner first!
Because of this, Asuna was truly afraid of her sister.
Her sister did love her, but this love was a bit too overwhelming.
She heard that the Lucifer Demon Lord was also a sis-con, but at least he supported his sister's freedom to love!
And her sister's sis-con tendencies had reached an incurable level.
"By the way, Sana-chan, have you gathered your Familia Members? If you don't have enough Familia Members, you might be at a disadvantage in the Rating Game..." Serafleur stopped playing around and seemed genuinely worried about her sister.
"Don't worry, Sister. Even if the numbers aren't enough, I can make up for it with tactics. You know I'm very strict about my Familia Members; I won't just fill the ranks carelessly..." Asuna said this very calmly.
She viewed her Familia Members as her family, yes, but for them to catch her eye, they had to have talent and good character. Otherwise, even if they had strength, if they were morally corrupt scumbags, that wouldn't do!
"Mmm... Since you already have a plan, I won't say more. But if you need my help, don't hesitate to ask. No matter what the request, even if it's to attack Heaven, I won't bat an eye!"
Serafleur's words made Asuna smile wryly. How could it be that exaggerated?
"Oh, right, Asuna-chan, have you heard of any magical girls in this world who transform when they use magic, just like in the shows? If you have, you absolutely have to tell me! I really want to take a magical girl as a familia member and have her teach me the secret to transforming! Then I'll truly be a magical girl!"
After finishing with the important matters, Serafleur excitedly started talking about magical girls again, making Asuna cover her forehead. Her sister's obsession with magical girls was truly terrifying.
"Sister, there aren't any magical girls in this world. Those are just fictional characters..."
Asuna felt like this wasn't the first time she'd said this to her sister, but...
Her sister never seemed to listen, which left Asuna feeling helpless.
Serafleur just chuckled, her face filled with longing, which gave Asuna a stomachache.
However, in this world, Serafleur noticed that their Sidi family's private forces were gathering in a certain direction.
"Sister, what's happening..."
"It seems someone has trespassed into the Sidi family's territory. Let's go take a look, it seems quite interesting!"
Although Serafleur didn't ask, she could sense the situation over there.
She could indeed feel two unfamiliar magic powers appearing within the Sidi family's domain.
And...
These two magic powers were surprisingly strong. While they couldn't reach Demon Lord class, they possessed the power of high-ranking demons.
That's right, they were comparable to the magic power within Asuna, and might even surpass Asuna's current level.
Asuna looked at her sister with a helpless expression. Her sister just loved to stir up trouble.
But honestly, she was also curious about what was happening over there, so...
She decided to follow her sister to see. With that thought, Asuna followed Serafleur.
Just as Serafleur and Asuna arrived at the scene, they saw two little girls, a ferret, and a wolfdog surrounded by a group of demons.
Then—
