I, the System Creator

"Magical Girl?"

"Yes! As long as you form a contract with me, you can transform into a Magical Girl!"

Sapphire spoke with absolute certainty. She trusted her judgment—this Master was at least more qualified than Luvia!

Miyu fell silent for a moment, seeming to ponder something before looking at Sapphire before her again.

"Then what is your purpose? Why do you want to form a contract with me?"

Wariness began to flicker in Miyu's eyes. Judging from her initial attitude toward Chu Chen, she was certainly not lacking in vigilance.

"To resolve the magical distortion in this city. The cause of that distortion is something called a Class Card."

At those words, shock immediately appeared in Miyu's eyes.

Class Cards... Aren't those... Einsworth's...? I see. They came here with me?

The moment she recalled Einsworth, a complicated expression appeared on Miyu's face, and a trace of sorrow flashed past.

"Those Class Cards..."

"Class Cards are something even the magi at the Clock Tower—the magi's headquarters—have been unable to analyze. A week ago, the Clock Tower sent people to eliminate the magical distortion in this city, but after discovering the existence of the Class Cards, they abruptly returned and brought the cards back to the Clock Tower for analysis."

"According to the analysis, we learned that Class Cards were created using extremely advanced magical theory. However, the exact method used to create them remains unknown. What we do know is that Class Cards house the power of Heroic Spirits."

"By performing an Install with a Class Card, one can use the card to connect to a Heroic Spirit within the Throne of Heroes and temporarily materialize that Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm. Heroic Spirits are already terrifying beings, and their Noble Phantasms are their trump cards. If Class Cards fell into the hands of evil magi, it would be far too dangerous. Therefore, after learning of the cards' power, the Clock Tower immediately sent us here to retrieve them."

After a moment of silence, Miyu did not agree outright and instead continued questioning her.

"Then why did you choose me?"

"It's like this. My Master, Lady Luvia, Rin, and I came here together to carry out this mission. However, because the relationship between Luvia and Rin is so terrible, they not only cast the mission aside but even started fighting each other. My sister Ruby, who was created alongside me, and I truly couldn't stand their nonsense any longer. That is why we left on our own and chose to find new Masters to complete the mission."

As she spoke, Sapphire could not help feeling surprised by Miyu's composure.

Are children this age all so calm now? That's truly astonishing.

Chu Chen Has Entered Miyu's Live Stream

Chu Chen silently glanced at Miyu's room upstairs. He said nothing, merely smiling faintly.

With his senses, he had noticed Sapphire the instant she appeared. All he could do was marvel at the Will of the Great Universe. Even after he had brought Miyu home, Sapphire had still managed to find her. They really were Masters and servants destined for one another!

However, Chu Chen had no intention of going upstairs right now. By his estimation, Miyu probably would not tell him about Sapphire. After all, they had only just met, and Miyu did not necessarily trust him completely. Besides, in Miyu's eyes, he was not a magus. Under these circumstances, Miyu would only try to resolve this matter in secret...

Since Miyu did not intend to tell him, Chu Chen was not going to pester her over it for no reason. It would be better to secretly follow her and protect her from the shadows... That was one of the reasons why Chu Chen had brought Miyu into his home.

With Miyu as his reason, Chu Chen now had an excuse to involve himself in this matter.

Silently, Chu Chen resumed refining his System. However...

A message in the System Network left Chu Chen stunned for a moment.

Illya: "Aaaaaah!!!! Help!!!! Why is there a wand trying to form a contract with me out of nowhere, and then after the contract was made, its original owner came looking for me? I'm being chased now!"

Haibara Ai: "How did that happen? Are you okay, Illya...? Haven't you strengthened your body and magical power? Since you formed a contract, use that wand to fight back! You can't keep running forever!"

As expected of Ai. Even in such a crisis, she could think of a way to help Illya.

Illya: "Huh? Attack? How do I attack...? I've never learned that stuff! Waaah! I just casually swung the wand, so why did it send out a slash...? Huh! That person got knocked unconscious just like that..."

Haibara Ai: "..."

Busujima Saeko: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

Administrator: "..."

Chu Chen's mouth twitched hard. The plot seemed to have changed quite dramatically...

Tohsaka Rin had chased Illya, only to be knocked unconscious by a single slash from Illya... What the hell... What kind of development was this?!

Chu Chen could understand Illya knocking out Tohsaka Rin. After so many enhancements to her body and magical power, Illya's mana reserves and physical abilities had become extraordinarily powerful. On that point alone, her strength had already far surpassed the original story.

Even if Illyasviel von Einzbern later split off a large portion of Illya's magical power, Illya's mana should not diminish by much.

Poor Tohsaka Rin... Not only had her own wand abandoned her, but now she had been knocked unconscious by Illya as well...

Haibara Ai: "I have a feeling that things on Illya's side are completely a farce..."

Busujima Saeko: "Could it be that you're the only one who thought you were being chased, Illya? Maybe they never intended to chase you at all!"

Illya: "That's not it! It's all Ruby's fault! It kept clinging to me and mocking her at the same time, then the person chasing me immediately attacked... Those attacks were like bullets, and they scared me to death!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Ruby is the wand you mentioned, right...? So what do you plan to do next? It's obvious you've been dragged into some troublesome situation, Illya. And from the looks of it, you can't break the contract with Ruby either!"

Illya: "I'm secretly carrying that person into my room right now, then I'll ask what happened... After all, I was the one who knocked her unconscious. I can't just leave her lying in my yard..."

Haibara Ai: "You really are kind-hearted. She directly attacked you..."

Ai clicked her tongue. If it had been someone with a worse temper, they would probably have thrown the other person out already.

Illya: "Well... I wasn't hurt, and Ruby said it comes with the highest level of magical defense. It's mainly Ruby's fault..."

```

Clearly, Illya harbored deep resentment toward Ruby, the wand that had forced a contract on her first and asked questions later.

Chu Chen found it rather amusing as well. Compared with Sapphire, Ruby's personality really was a little too terrible.

At least Sapphire would ask whether someone was willing. As for Ruby, if it took a liking to someone, it would simply use schemes to win them over.

In Illya's case, Ruby had not cared about Illya's wishes at all. It had practically kidnapped her...

"Come to think of it, Tohsaka Rin could sense when Ruby formed a contract with Illya. Then when Miyu forms a contract with Sapphire, Luvia should be able to sense it too... Then..."

In an instant, Chu Chen's expression turned exceptionally strange. Could Luvia come knocking at the door later?

"Hm? Miyu jumped straight out the window..."

Chu Chen was not worried that Miyu would get hurt. What Magical Girl had ever jumped from the second floor and fallen to her death?

What surprised him was the reason Miyu had gone out. Was she going to find Luvia? That was probably Sapphire's suggestion...

Though he thought this, Chu Chen had no intention of going out to watch. Through the System's perspective, he could know what Miyu was doing at any moment. It felt somewhat like installing surveillance cameras, but Chu Chen generally would not use this ability.

The reason he had created such a function was mainly for Illya and the others' safety.

For example, if Illya encountered danger, Chu Chen could observe the scene and give Illya and the others advice.

Therefore, without another word, Chu Chen entered Miyu's live stream while continuing to refine Miyu's System as he watched.

In Chu Chen's view, Miyu had already transformed and silently jumped down from the window.

"Lady Miyu, don't you intend to tell your family about this?" Sapphire could not help asking.

"...I don't have a family..." After a long silence, Miyu finally answered.

"Mr. Chu Chen took me in and gave me a place to stay... Although Mr. Chu Chen seemed to have some ulterior motives when he took me in, I'm actually very grateful to him. So I can't drag Mr. Chu Chen into something this dangerous..."

Hearing that, Sapphire said nothing more. Since Lady Miyu did not intend to involve Chu Chen downstairs, Sapphire would not try to persuade her otherwise. Everything would be based on her Master's wishes.

Still, Sapphire was a little curious. Lady Miyu seemed to have a bitter past that no one knew about...

A Magus Can't Defeat a Heroic Spirit! Bazett, You Say? She's a Monster!

"Sapphire... Damn it, how dare you treat me, Luviagelita Edelfelt, this way!"

Luvia grumbled as she searched for Sapphire.

Along the way, she had thought about it. She and Tohsaka Rin had argued, then even pulled out Class Cards with the intention of taking each other down. That really had been somewhat excessive, but then again, their relationship had always been terrible.

What angered Luvia, however, was that Sapphire had directly dissolved the contract and caused them to fall from midair.

If there had been solid ground below, the two of them might have been half-dead from the fall, did Sapphire realize that...?

And even though they had not been half-killed this time, Luvia still felt that she had completely lost face.

"Lady Luvia, good evening. I'm very glad to see that you are safe and well."

Miyu slowly appeared before Luvia with Sapphire, immediately making Luvia's eyes light up.

Though Sapphire was deeply disappointed in her former Master, she still greeted her politely.

Luvia, however, was not nearly so good-tempered. The moment she saw Sapphire, she immediately snapped, "You still have the nerve to say that! How dare you do such a thing to me, Luviagelita Edelfelt!"

"That is because Lady Luvia neglected her duties and actually wasted her power fighting Rin. It was truly disappointing!" Sapphire replied, entirely justified.

Luvia was left speechless by Sapphire's words. Indeed, she had been the one at fault in the beginning!

And retrieving the Class Cards was the most important thing right now. If Sapphire did not return first, they would not be able to complete the mission!

"Fine! I will do my best to restrain myself and not fight Tohsaka Rin! In any case, Sapphire, come with me!"

"No. I already said that Lady Luvia is no longer my Master and no longer qualified to wield me. Lady Miyu is my new Master!" Sapphire refused Luvia without hesitation.

Luvia paused slightly, then examined Miyu before her. Her brows slowly furrowed.

"Sapphire, don't joke around! Do you know how dangerous retrieving Class Cards is? You actually dragged a young child into such a dangerous mission. Do you know what you're doing?"

Luvia looked solemnly at Sapphire as she spoke.

Watching this scene through the live stream, Chu Chen could not help showing a hint of appreciation.

She knew that children should not be dragged into this either. She was much better than a certain wand that acted first and explained later.

Still, Sapphire's instincts had been accurate. Miyu was no ordinary girl. She was the Divine Child of a parallel world and possessed power comparable to a true Holy Grail, capable of helping others achieve miracles. That ability alone was already extremely powerful.

A divine child of the Moon Child Clan, though it was said that their wish-granting ability disappeared after the age of seven. Yet Miyu had retained her ability even after turning seven. When Emiya Shirou was in high school, Miyu had wished to become Shirou's true sister, and that wish had come true.

That indirectly proved that Miyu had retained at least some of her power as a Divine Child.

It was only that Miyu was currently unable to actively use that wish-granting ability.

"I have already decided! And I have already formed a contract with Lady Miyu!"

As Sapphire spoke, Miyu stepped forward as well, her Magical Girl form falling into Luvia's eyes.

Seeing this, Luvia still seemed unwilling to accept it and continued, "But do you think she can complete the retrieval of the Class Cards on her own? Those Class Cards have all materialized Heroic Spirits. You should know just how strong Heroic Spirits are, Sapphire!"

Luvia was not wrong. Even magi might not necessarily be able to deal with the Heroic Spirits materialized by those Class Cards.

Otherwise, Jewel Old Man would not have needed to give the Magic Crests he created to Tohsaka Rin and Luvia.

As for Bazett, who had retrieved two Class Cards, she was a monster. There was no point comparing anyone to her.

"I will work hard... Please entrust the task of retrieving the Class Cards to me. Please!"

Miyu suddenly spoke up. The determination in her gaze left Luvia speechless.

For some reason, Luvia saw resolve in the girl's eyes that did not suit someone her age.

That resolve left even Luvia unable to respond. It felt as though rejecting her would insult that determination.

"You... What is your name..." After a long silence, Luvia finally asked.

"Miyu... That is my name..." Miyu answered.

"Miyu... I understand..." Luvia sighed softly and nodded.

"If that is the case, then you and Sapphire will retrieve the Class Cards from now on... I will come find you every night. First, take me to see your home. I need to know where you live, at least..."

Luvia no longer intended to refuse. Since Miyu and Sapphire had formed a contract, she could not force them to dissolve it.

More importantly, after seeing the resolve in Miyu's eyes, Luvia had been moved.

The emotion contained in those eyes had touched the softest part of her heart, and that was why Luvia relented.

"Mr. Chu Chen is an ordinary person. He merely took me in... I don't want Mr. Chu Chen to know about these things, so... We can meet here every night from now on. Is that okay?" Miyu looked at Luvia.

"I see..." Luvia gave Miyu a meaningful glance.

So she has a story too... No wonder she has eyes like that.

"I understand. We'll do as you say... I will wait here for you every night from now on, then take you to deal with the Class Cards. Sapphire will notify you when I arrive. Don't forget, Miyu..."

"Yes!"

Miyu nodded heavily. The Class Cards had come to this world because of her, so she had to resolve this matter herself. Besides, she could make use of the Class Cards' power. Perhaps they could even be used against Einsworth.

Though it was not exactly wise to use weapons they had created against them, such useful combat strength would be wasted if she did not use it...
