"No, I should call you the New Red Dragon Emperor..."

"So you knew. Albion must have told you... But it doesn't matter. I may not count as Ddraig's host, but to you, anyone strong enough to let you enjoy yourself is enough, right..."

Chu Chen shrugged, but his gaze never left Kuroka.

That made Kuroka's body stiffen. She did not dare move at all. This guy's strength was simply absurd.

Vali did not continue their previous topic, nor did he ask Chu Chen who he had given the Boosted Gear to.

"Then can you let go of my Familia Member now?"

"What if I say I don't want to let her go? I told you, my home is short one pet... Besides, Koneko is with me now, and Kuroka won't let go of her little sister's hand, will she? Rather than having her keep following you and making you come rescue her every now and then, why not let her stay with me? At least she can see her little sister every day, right?"

At those words, not only Vali, but Kuroka's expression also became extremely complicated.

Chu Chen was right. She would absolutely never let Shirone go, but Shirone was with him, so she would definitely go there to take Shirone away. Yet no matter what, she could not beat him. In the end, Vali would still have to come rescue her.

Vali's thoughts were even simpler. Going over there to rescue her every day was not sustainable... And besides...

Chu Chen was not a cruel person. Otherwise, after defeating him, he would not have treated his injuries.

As for that remark about being short one pet, Vali automatically filtered it out...

And honestly, staying by Chu Chen's side did not seem like such a bad thing. Maybe Kuroka could see a broader world there!

As the master of his Familia Members, Vali was undoubtedly qualified. While pursuing strength and powerful opponents, he had not lost his own emotions or his regard for his companions.

Take Azazel, for instance. Even though he had joined The Black Dragon God, it did not mean the bond between him and Azazel had vanished. He still kept Azazel's kindness firmly in mind.

"Then I'll take them away first. See you another day, Vali! But if you challenge me again next time and you're still the same as before, I might accidentally punch you to death. Don't expect me to take responsibility then..."

As he spoke, Chu Chen placed a hand on each of Kuroka and Koneko's shoulders.

Like phantoms, Chu Chen and the others vanished before Vali and Sun Wukong.

"Vali, aren't we going after them?" Sun Wukong could not help asking.

Although Kuroka had only joined them recently, it was not good to just let someone else whisk her away like that.

"We can't beat him. And Orphis is there too. Besides, Kuroka staying there might not be a bad thing..."

Vali curled his lips and silently left with Sun Wukong. At least for now, Kuoh Town was not a place they could stay.

Rather than stubbornly clashing with Chu Chen here, it would be better to watch the Hero Faction and the Old Satan faction run into walls in Kuoh Town...

Besides, Vali had also heard a great deal from Albion about the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings.

For example, there were even stronger abilities within the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings that he had yet to develop.

Albion had also heard from Chu Chen that the White Dragon Emperor's abilities had actually all been retained, not removed. Aside from the final poison ability, which Albion had sealed away himself, all the others could be developed. As for the sealed poison, as long as Albion was willing, it was not impossible to unseal it...

So Vali had now decided to work hard at mastering his Sacred Gear. Perhaps that would let him rise to another level.

There was also the power of Juggernaut Drive... If it could be adjusted, perhaps he could obtain the Juggernaut Drive best suited to him!

Meanwhile, Chu Chen held Koneko and Kuroka while taking a photo of the two of them and posting it on the network.

Administrator: "Pets ×2.JPG!"

Administrator: "The lolis are in the house, the mascots are here, and now we even have pets!"

Takamachi Nanoha: "!!! Isn't that Koneko? How did she become our pet? And who's that black-haired one beside her... I've never seen her before. She feels dangerous."

Administrator: "That's Koneko's older sister. A pair of cat-eared sisters—you deserve to have them!"

Haibara Ai: "Ehh----!!! You really are something, Administrator. I thought you were only a loli-con, but I didn't expect you to be into seductive mature women too... Though, well, she really is a cat. When it comes to stealing food, she's absolutely unrivaled..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I don't know why, but I smell something sour..."

Loki: "Hehe... Whose vinegar jar got knocked over..."

Haibara Ai: "..."

Alicia Testarossa: "Ugh... I'm super unhappy too!! That thieving cat lives up to her name!!"

Illyasviel von Einzbern: "I can't sleep anymore either. I feel like my position in Teacher Chu Chen's heart has been seriously threatened!"

Miyu: "...Mr. Chu Chen..."

Ilyasviel: "Where did this thieving cat come from!"

Takamachi Nanoha: "I suddenly can't sleep either... Even Fate woke up!"

Fate Testarossa: "Nanoha said Brother Chu Chen went out to find Koneko, so I can't sleep either!"

Haibara Ai: "Fate, you don't need to make excuses. Everyone probably knows why we all came out!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "After Saeko, a second woman whose temperament and figure are both utterly beyond criticism has finally appeared. She even has the cat-eared girl trait. The Administrator directly took these sisters in as his pets. Could it be that the Administrator has fallen for them?"

Until now, they had all been lolis. Even if Chu Chen had fallen for them, there was no need to worry about him doing anything.

But now, someone had appeared whose figure and temperament completely surpassed even Saeko's...

The instant Yukino said that, the System Network exploded.

Haibara Ai: "Nanoha! Fate! You two understand what we mean, right!"

Takamachi Nanoha: "Don't worry! Starlight Breaker is charging. If Brother Chu Chen does anything to Koneko or Koneko's sister, he'll have to taste my Starlight Breaker first!"

Administrator: "..."

Is this really necessary? I'm surrounded by you flowers every day, so what's wrong with finding myself a girl now?

Besides, he had not even said anything. He had merely taken in a cat-eared girl as a pet... It was not like he said he wanted to do anything.

"What a fuss..." Chu Chen curled his lips.

If I really wanted to do something, Nanoha, you wouldn't even notice... Chu Chen was speechless.

Fate Testarossa: "By the way, why did Koneko's sister secretly take Koneko away... Wouldn't it have been fine if she just told Sister Rias?"

Administrator: "Sigh! There's finally a normal person in the System Network!"

"Meow... You're really rough, young man... Can't you be a little gentler..."

After Chu Chen brought her back, he casually tossed aside the Kuroka he had been carrying, prompting her complaint.

Yet even as she complained, the seductive aura radiating from her every word and action immediately put Nanoha and Fate on guard.

Just as Sister Ai had said, she was a powerful enemy who needed to be watched... They could not let down their guard...

Koneko merely snorted and stared at her older sister, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

She seemed extremely displeased by her sister's unconscious behavior... No matter what, he was her teacher!

"My apologies, but I'm just that kind of rough man..." Chu Chen shrugged, completely unconcerned by her complaint.

Kuroka curled her lips and began carefully looking around. Her glassy eyes flickered with surprise.

Her gaze lingered on Orphis for quite a while before she finally withdrew it when Orphis looked back at her.

She had not expected Orphis to be here. That truly surprised Kuroka.

She knew that she had come to Kuoh Town with Sun Wukong this time in order to find Orphis, but she had not expected Orphis to be here with Chu Chen. And recalling the conversation between Chu Chen and Vali earlier, could it be...

Red Dragon Emperor... New Red Dragon Emperor... What did that mean? Kuroka could not help feeling curious.

No matter what, she had already been brought here. Sooner or later, she would learn the truth, right?

Kuroka stopped thinking about it. Since she was here, there was nothing more to say. Just as Chu Chen had said, if she could see Shirone every day, what was there to object to? Besides, this place did not seem unacceptable.

With the Infinite Dragon God Orphis here, this could practically be called the safest place in the world.

"Is she Koneko's older sister?" Nanoha subconsciously hugged Fate beside her and slowly asked.

"That's right... From today on, she's our pet... Raising a pet cat isn't expensive!"

Without even asking for Kuroka's opinion, Chu Chen decided her status in the house just like that.

Kuroka's eyes flickered for a moment before she suddenly leaped to Chu Chen's side. Under the fiery glares of Nanoha, Fate, and Koneko, a provocative smile gradually appeared on her face as she wrapped herself around one of Chu Chen's arms.

"Since I'm Master's pet, should I warm your bed as a pet? Masteeeer..."

Takamachi Nanoha: "Furious... Want to hit someone... If possible, I really want to blast her!"

Fate: "Agreed... Nanoha and I were here first..."

Tachibana Kanade: "Big sister is too much... She's only a pet. By rank, she should be below me, Teacher's student!"

Based on her many years of gaming experience, her sister's behavior should have been overstepping her bounds!

However, the three of them soon felt much better. The reason was simple—

One chop to the head made Kuroka clutch her head and silently release Chu Chen's arm.

"Don't go too far! Can you have some awareness that you're a captive?"

"But I'm clearly Master's pet, meow..." Kuroka blinked playfully.

Chu Chen rolled his eyes and finally turned his gaze to Koneko.

"Koneko, stay at my place tonight. I've already spoken to Rias. You sisters should talk things out now, especially you, Kuroka. Koneko has the right to know the truth about why you killed your devil master back then. You're biological sisters. What is there that cannot be said openly? You don't need to keep playing the villain, Kuroka..."

Chu Chen's words made Kuroka's expression change again and again. Her seductive, playful air immediately vanished, replaced by a gloomy atmosphere surrounding her. Koneko seemed to understand something as well, staring fixedly at her.

Chu Chen silently patted both of them on the shoulders. He said nothing, yet everything that needed to be said had already been conveyed.

He did not intend to disturb the two girls after that, so he quietly took Orphis and the others away.

Chu Chen's home had guest rooms. He had prepared them in case guests ever came to stay.

Thus, only the pair of nekomata sisters remained in the living room, gazing at each other in silence for a long time.

But that silence did not last long.

"Big sister... Please tell me the truth about what happened back then..."

Koneko spoke those words one by one.

Hearing that, Kuroka sighed deeply. She knew very well that she could no longer avoid it.

While the nekomata sisters bared their hearts to each other, Nanoha and Fate were feeling exceptionally troubled.

Because Chu Chen had pulled them along earlier, they had actually forgotten that they were not in the same room as him.

And then—

Nanoha and Fate were now lying blushing on the same bed as Chu Chen, tossing and turning without being able to sleep.

Orphis lay in Chu Chen's arms, unusually peaceful, forming a stark contrast with their restlessness.

It was not that they did not want to return to their own room, but they would have to pass through the living room to do so. They did not want to disturb Kuroka and Koneko.

Seeing the anxiety in the two girls' hearts, Chu Chen decided not to sleep either. They might as well chat.

"Nanoha, Fate... Do you two miss home?"

The two girls froze slightly, not expecting Chu Chen to suddenly ask such a question.

After exchanging glances, Nanoha and Fate both revealed gentle smiles.

"I do miss my family a little, but the scenery of the different world feels so novel that it has eased those feelings somewhat... Besides, Brother Chu Chen and Fate are with me now, and there are new friends like Orphis, Koneko, and Sister Rias. The homesickness in my heart has gradually grown weaker."

"Perhaps I do miss Mother Precia deeply after not seeing her for so long, but I'm no longer who I used to be. I have so many friends now, and Arf is by my side too. I do miss her, but it isn't as intense anymore..."

"Is that so..." Chu Chen felt much more at ease. As the Administrator, he had to pay attention to such matters.

"Then who do you plan to sell the second system to? Rias? Asuna? Or Serafleur?"

"Hehehe... We already made our choice long ago! Sister Rias and Sister Asuna would both work, but if we gave one to one of them, we would have to give one to the other too. Otherwise, it would be best to give neither of them one. Their relationship is not just that of close friends—they also feel like rivals. If one of them gets to cheat, the other definitely won't feel good about it..." Nanoha said helplessly, and then—
