I, System Manufacturer

Chu Chen initially thought Rias was contacting him about the Boosted Gear.

After all, Rias wasn't Hyodo Issei; awakening the Boosted Gear was a matter of minutes for her. So—

When he received the call, Chu Chen was about to tell her not to thank him for anything. However, Rias's first words were that her cat had gone missing... and she couldn't find any trace of it after searching for a long time...

Chu Chen was surprised, but he quickly guessed the reason for Koneko's disappearance...

Vali had mentioned before that he was taking action to find Orphis and the Black Dragon God. Vali must have sent his people, meaning Sun Wukong and Kuroka were also here. Now that Vali had returned, Sun Wukong and Kuroka must have also paused their mission.

Since their mission was paused, it was undeniable that Kuroka would do what she wanted to do...

What did Kuroka want to do? It was simple: bring her sister back...

This meant Kuroka had gone to find her sister... But that girl was truly bold. Considering Serafleur was currently stationed in Kuoh Town, Kuroka still dared to sneak her sister away...

Truly audacious... Chu Chen silently scoffed in his mind.

"That's right. Just as I was about to send out Akeno and the others, the Leviathan Demon Lord stopped me and told me to notify you, Teacher Chu Chen, to help find her... Could I trouble you, Teacher Chu Chen?"

Rias's eyes were filled with pleading. Chu Chen nodded gently in response.

Since Serafleur had said so, Chu Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. It was just finding someone, after all.

Moreover, Chu Chen understood Serafleur's thoughts. There were many people from other factions mixed into Kuoh Town right now. If Rias and the others were sent out now, those people might attack them.

After all, the people from the Black Dragon God wouldn't care about Rias and the others' lives.

They were terrorists whose very existence was to incite war; what kind of reason could you expect from them?

"Oh, right. About this Boosted Gear, did the Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig, say you gave it to me?" Rias raised a gauntlet on her right hand, her expression clearly showing how satisfied she was with this weapon.

"I can't use it anyway, and it would just gather dust if I kept it. Ddraig also helped me out a bit, so finding a good host for it is fine. There was a female Red Dragon Emperor before; perhaps you can break the possibility of that strongest female Red Dragon Emperor and reach new heights..." Chu Chen merely saw it as repaying a favor to Ddraig.

And honestly, when Rias eventually obtained the System, she might even be able to free Ddraig's soul. Then Ddraig would owe Rias a favor, and who knows, Ddraig might even become Rias's subordinate...

Tsk tsk tsk... The Red Dragon Emperor, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons, becoming her subordinate would be an incredible power boost...

It would be the same for Vali. Once he obtained the System, there would be plenty of ways to free Albion.

"Hehe... Thank you, Teacher Chu Chen. I won't let you down. At least this time, I'll definitely win the tournament. I'm going to beat that Phoenix family's roasted chicken!" Rias clenched her fist fiercely.

As for the nickname "roasted chicken," she had inadvertently heard Chu Chen use it to refer to people from the Phoenix family.

Yes! It was indeed fitting... At first glance, the appearance of a phoenix was no different from roasted chicken...

At most, its wings flapped a bit bigger... Rias was quite satisfied with this nickname.

"Brother Chu Chen, what's wrong? Is that Rias's call..." Nanoha, still groggy in her pajamas, came out of her room, holding a bolster pillow... It had Fate's image on it, which she and Chu Chen had requested.

With the authority to create, a snap of his fingers would fill the room with such things...

Nanoha was hugging the bolster pillow with Fate's image, while Fate was hugging the bolster pillow with Nanoha's image. As for Chu Chen...

Only children make choices; as an adult, he wanted them all! So Chu Chen took out a bolster pillow embroidered with Nanoha and Fate. However, Nanoha and Fate, blushing, immediately smacked Chu Chen with their own bolster pillows and took his away.

Chu Chen, wanting to cry but having no tears, could only silently hug Orphis...

In this cold world, only Orphis could bring Chu Chen a bit of warmth.

Of course, that was a joke. How could Nanoha and Fate let a loli-con hug a loli to sleep? Now, Nanoha, Fate, and Orphis were sleeping together, leaving Chu Chen alone on the cold bedsheets.

What a shame. Three lolis in one house, and not one was willing to come sleep with him...

Miyu was understandable back then; one person in each of the two rooms. Chu Chen had no reason to make Miyu sleep with him. But it was different now. Although there were three rooms in the house, why were the three lolis cramming together!

"Yeah... Rias's familiar, Koneko, is missing. Based on my estimation, she was taken away..."

Chu Chen sat in the living room, looking at the groggy Nanoha, and felt a desire to tease her.

He acted on his impulse without a second thought, quickly stepping forward and pinching Nanoha's nose.

"Mmmph mmmph ahhh..." Nanoha frowned, her hazy eyes instantly clearing up. However, her dazed appearance made Chu Chen laugh. This girl was really interesting...

"Brother Chu Chen is bullying me again..." Nanoha pouted and charmingly swatted Chu Chen's right hand away.

"So, what are you going to do, Brother Chu Chen? Are you going to look for Koneko-chan now? Should I go change?"

"No need. You guys should just go back to sleep. I'll have Orphis keep an eye on things at home... You're still children, don't stay up late every day, or you'll get dark circles under your eyes, and your faces won't look good..."

Chu Chen felt like he was truly acting like a parent taking care of children, which felt quite special.

It was just a shame that Nanoha and Fate, in their current state, would have to wait another ten years to be "ripened"...

"Hehe... I'll also have Raising Heart keep a careful watch. We can't just leave everything to Brother Chu Chen and Orphis-chan... Besides, I won't get dark circles! Don't curse me, Brother Chu Chen! Hmph!"

After Nanoha pouted, she then grinned foolishly and quietly ran back to her room.

Before entering the room, Nanoha turned around and struck a "go for it" pose.

Chu Chen chuckled softly and then walked outside.

As for Koneko's whereabouts, Chu Chen could basically sense Kuroka's presence the moment he stood on the ground, without even needing a second. This was the effect brought by Star Light. It was how Chu Chen found Orphis before.

"I see, she's at the church. If I remember correctly, that's where those Fallen Angels from the original story were... But for Kuroka, clearing out the Fallen Angels there is just a piece of cake... I'll go take a look!"

Speaking of which, he had lolis at home, and a mascot. Perhaps it was time to get a pet...

Chu Chen's eyes lit up.

Chapter 97: Heavenly Dao's Cycle of Retribution, Heaven Spares No One! (Seeking Subscriptions)

Koneko's consciousness began to clear, and a tall figure suddenly appeared in her sight.

Clad in a black kimono, with eyes like glazed glass, two black cat ears atop her head, and a restless cat tail swaying side to side.

Without a doubt, she was an incredibly beautiful and alluring woman. Anyone who saw this cat-eared girl would likely think so.

Even among all the women Chu Chen had ever seen, Rias and Asuna were slightly inferior in comparison.

This was mainly due to the seductive aura that the girl exuded, which added many points to her appeal.

Kuroka looked at her sister, who had been unconscious this whole time, and sighed deeply in her heart.

This time, she and Sun Wukong had come to find Orphis. But for some reason, Vali suddenly arrived in Kuoh Town and had something to discuss with them. So, Kuroka simply asked Sun Wukong to go ahead and meet up with Vali, while she took the opportunity to snatch her sister away.

As it turned out, her sister actually resisted her efforts fiercely… Helplessly, Kuroka had no choice but to knock her sister unconscious.

The reason Kuroka was here now was mainly to wait for Sun Wukong; otherwise, she would have already taken the unconscious Koneko away.

This area was originally Fallen Angel territory, but Kuroka had dealt with it casually…

Don't underestimate Kuroka. Being able to stay by Vali's side means Kuroka's strength wouldn't be weak.

The barrier she set up with all her might could even trap a Demon Lord-level expert.

However, it was a pity that the barrier she set up had no effect on Chu Chen at all. Every corner of this planet was visible to Chu Chen, and even with a barrier, it was useless to him. It was like having an omniscient perspective.

"Sister…" Koneko subconsciously called out the term, making Kuroka quickly look at her.

"Oh, Shirone, you're finally awake… Big sister will take you away from here now…"

In an instant, upon hearing this, Koneko's face couldn't hide a complex expression, but there was more anger than anything else.

"Don't make such a scary face. I haven't seen you, Shirone, for so long. And this time, big sister is here to make amends for my mistakes, to make up for the mistake of not taking you with me in the past."

As she said this, Kuroka slowly reached out her right hand towards her. However, towards her own sister, Koneko felt only fear.

If she remembered correctly, it was with this hand that her sister had killed her demonic master that day.

Shirone, not knowing the full story, believed this to be the case… which was why she had always felt fear and anger towards her sister.

"I… no… don't want to…"

"Hey, hey, hey! Could you please let go of my cat? Although you are her sister, I am her teacher, after all. So, could you let go of my student? That black cat…"

Chu Chen's voice suddenly echoed, and in an instant, Koneko's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Who!" Kuroka's expression changed drastically. Someone had entered her barrier, yet her barrier had shown no reaction!

She prided herself on the strength of her barrier, but there was no reaction at all, nor was it broken. How did this person get in? Moreover, before this person approached, she hadn't sensed their aura at all.

And, what that person said…

"Teacher? I see, so you are the one who taught my Shirone… No wonder when I fought Shirone, I felt that her strength was much greater than I had imagined…" Kuroka exuded a seductive aura, and her gaze began to carefully appraise Chu Chen, who had suddenly appeared in this space.

Looking at Kuroka before him, Chu Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Tsk, tsk, tsk… He had to admit that in terms of feminine charm, Kuroka was one of the best. And coupled with Shirone, they were a perfect sister pair…

The older sister, a powerful and mature beauty with charm…

The younger sister, a potential loli with adorable points…

It was simply… Chu Chen had to admit that seeing these sisters together made him a little tempted.

Perhaps he could keep two pets at home… Rias probably wouldn't object either…

Yes! He'd bring it up with Rias when he got back, under the guise of letting these long-separated sisters reconnect!

"Teacher Chu Chen!" Koneko looked at Chu Chen with surprise, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Your sister doesn't seem to want to leave with you. Can you let me take her back?"

Chu Chen shrugged, his gaze fixed on Kuroka before him, while also glancing around.

Sun Wukong and Vali were not here, which meant Kuroka came alone to abduct Koneko? Or perhaps…

I see… After locating Vali's position, Chu Chen roughly understood what had happened.

"Although you are my Shirone's teacher, even as a teacher, you shouldn't interfere in other people's family matters… My sister has always been this rebellious, you get used to it…" Kuroka's words made Chu Chen speechless.

You're the one who's rebellious…

"Is that so? It seems you are determined to take Koneko away… In that case… you can come with Koneko to my place! My home already has lolis and mascots, and I'm just missing a pet cat…"

As he finished speaking, a sinister smile spread across Chu Chen's lips.

Kuroka's expression also changed drastically, and the atmosphere in the surrounding space instantly became heavy.

The next moment, a massive dark aura erupted from Kuroka's body, and a seductive cold smile flashed across her face.

"Since you refuse to back down, then I apologize, Shirone's teacher… You will die here!"

Kuroka's hands simultaneously surged with different powers, as she unleashed both Senjutsu and Youjutsu.

This was Kuroka's power. As a Nekomata, she possessed extremely high talent in both Senjutsu and Youjutsu.

Chu Chen, completely disregarding the power erupting from her hands, simply walked forward slowly.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!!!!!

Under the bombardment of immortal and demonic arts, Chu Chen took all these moves without the slightest resistance.

Seeing Chu Chen, who was completely unharmed, not even his clothes affected in the slightest, Kuroka's expression changed drastically in shock.

"...How is this possible!? What did you do!?"

"I didn't do anything... it's just my personal super strong resistance. Your strength isn't weak, it's a shame my body already has extremely high resistance to attacks of a mystical nature, I can even withstand attacks of a Demon Lord level without a scratch!"

What Chu Chen said made Kuroka's face change again and again.

He can withstand attacks of a Demon Lord level? Is he a human monster?

"So, obediently go back and be my pet... Kuroka..."

Chu Chen slowly extended his right hand towards Kuroka before him. Now, it was Kuroka who felt fear rising within her.

This is truly the cycle of heaven, the heavens have mercy on no one!

However—

"Red Dragon Emperor, she is my familiar after all. Can you spare her for my sake?"

The moment these words were spoken, Vali appeared with Sun Wukong.

Chapter 98: System Network Members: Where Did This Cheating Cat Come From! (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Red Dragon Emperor, she is my familiar after all. Can you spare her for my sake?"

The moment these words were spoken, Vali appeared with Sun Wukong.

A hint of surprise also appeared on Kuroka's face. She had to admit that Kuroka was now experiencing what Shirone had felt earlier.

The transition from fear to surprise was truly a bit of a rollercoaster...

Vali's gaze focused on Chu Chen before him, and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
