Just Think of This as Your World Going Through a Trial of Tribulation... / Miss Yukino, Did You Eat Your System?

As for Miyu's surname, Chu Chen had agonized over it for a long time. Chu Miyu just sounded strange somehow.

But if he called her Miyu Emiya again, Miyu herself probably would not agree. Besides, Miyu had never mentioned the name Emiya in front of him from beginning to end. If he brought up that surname, Miyu would probably become suspicious of him, and the trust they had built between them might collapse because of that tiny shred of suspicion.

So Chu Chen simply asked Miyu what her surname was, and Miyu said—

"Of course, I'll take Mr. Chu Chen's surname..." Miyu said, sounding a little bashful.

Well, perhaps Chu Chen's eyes were playing tricks on him. Otherwise, why would he think Miyu had suddenly become bashful?

If he were not afraid of getting arrested and receiving a minimum sentence of three years, up to the death penalty, Chu Chen would have asked her outright.

Are you planning to marry into my family? Otherwise, why would you take my surname...

At that moment, Miyu's role suddenly felt like either a wife or a daughter...

So, when Miyu was handling her enrollment paperwork, Chu Chen silently wrote down Chu Miyu.

It sounded a little strange, but he would get used to it... He would get used to it...

After completing the enrollment procedures, Chu Chen handed Miyu over to the teacher in charge of Illya's class, Fujimura Taiga.

That was right, the legendary Tiger of Fuyuki...

After Fujimura Taiga patted her chest and led Miyu away, Chu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His great system-making enterprise could continue. If he did not still have work to do, Chu Chen would definitely have thrown his entire day into the great cause of creating systems.

System Completion: 10%

Note: Once the host assigns each system host a total of 5 tasks, a System Completion Critical Hit can be achieved!

Note: Tasks assigned by the host must affect the Worldline of at least one host world!

Seeing the notes below, Chu Chen could not help raising an eyebrow. He increasingly felt that this was not an ability of his, but a system for making systems. Otherwise, why would it have annotations and things like that? Was this supposed to be a joke...

But Worldline changes? How was he supposed to pull that off? Setting Illya's world aside for the moment, with him, this butterfly, here, perhaps one flap of his wings could send the Worldline veering into some ravine.

Yukino's world... Honestly, that world had completely gone off the rails not long after he gave her the system. The teacher who was originally supposed to join the Service Club had vanished to who knew where. Chu Chen had not deliberately asked about it; he had only learned through casual conversation that her world's Worldline had gone so far off course that it was somewhere in a ravine.

Busujima Saeko's world... The virus had not started spreading yet. Was he supposed to give her a task to save the world?

Ai's world... Would having Ai become a legendary heroine and smash the Black Organization count?

"This task is kind of a headache... The result caused by the task itself has to affect the Worldline... Hmm! I've got it!"

A mischievous look immediately appeared on Chu Chen's face.

Haibara Ai triggered event check-in: Let Mouri Ran learn the true identities of Edogawa Conan and herself

Task restrictions: You may not explain it directly! You may not let Edogawa Conan know that she exposed herself! You may not let Edogawa Conan fool Mouri Ran afterward! Mouri Ran must be completely convinced of this matter! And Mouri Ran must not expose it to anyone else! Violating any one of the above restrictions counts as task failure!

Check-in time limit: 48 hours

Check-in reward: 1 Holy Grail wish opportunity

Reward description: The scope of wishes is very limited. If you wish to revive someone, it can be fulfilled, but it may be fulfilled in another way. If you wish to destroy an organization, that can likewise be fulfilled, but due to the strength of the world itself, high-risk weapons may lose control and directly nuke the area where the organization's members are located...

Seeing this reward, Chu Chen could not help twitching hard at the corner of his mouth. This flaw was genuinely terrifying.

If an organization member happened to be near Ai, and it decided to nuke the place, Ai herself would be gone too.

You made those high-risk weapons sound so mysterious, but then you added the words "nuke the area." How could anyone not know what you meant?

And the restrictions were pretty harsh too. But... the reward for this task was unusually powerful...

Since the system thought this task was worthy of such a reward, did that mean... that in your view, Mouri Ran was the type who was incredibly easy for the Shinigami Elementary School Student to fool?

Haibara Ai: "!!!"

Illya: "!!!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "!!!"

Busujima Saeko: "!!!"

Miyu: "...!!!"

Administrator: "Can't you people say something? What kind of reaction is just sending exclamation marks!"

Haibara Ai: "As long as I get this reward... my sister can come back to life, right!"

A surge of excitement immediately appeared on Ai's face. She had finally waited for a reward that could revive her sister.

Busujima Saeko: "Theoretically, it should count as revival... But that flaw is really unsettling!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Exactly. The reward description says that while it can be fulfilled, it may be fulfilled in another way. Who knows what kind of strange method that other way might be..."

Haibara Ai: "That... probably isn't too serious of a problem, right..."

Ai's tone was deeply hesitant. As long as her sister could be revived, the method should not matter, right?

Administrator: "Is that so?"

Chu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, and a malicious smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Haibara Ai: "What are you trying to say, Administrator..."

Administrator: "For example, your sister is indeed revived, but she stays in front of you as a soul?"

Haibara Ai: "...!!!∑(Дノ)ノ!"

Administrator: "For example, your sister is indeed revived, but she stays in front of you as a zombie?"

Haibara Ai: "...!!!∑(Дノ)ノ!"

Administrator: "For example, your sister is indeed revived, but she suddenly changes from a woman into a man?"

Haibara Ai: "...!!!∑(Дノ)ノ!!!∑(Дノ)ノ!"

Ai's expression changed again and again. After that devil-like Administrator put it that way, she no longer dared to use this Holy Grail wish. No matter how she looked at it now, this Holy Grail wish seemed wildly unreliable.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Administrator, are you a devil?"

You Can Treat This as Your World Undergoing a Tribulation...

Illya: "Ai... Are you still going to use this Holy Grail wish opportunity?"

Illya looked at the chat above with cold sweat all over her head, feeling speechless as well.

The Administrator really knew how to scare people. But thinking about it carefully, if it said revival might happen in another way, then perhaps it really could turn out like that. Honestly, after hearing that, even she would not dare use it casually.

Ai's mouth twitched hard as she warily glanced at the Holy Grail wish reward, her heart exhausted.

She had finally encountered a reward that could revive her sister, only for the Administrator to say all that...

How could she dare use it recklessly now? She should finish this task first, then decide whether to use it.

Haibara Ai: "I've decided to finish this task first. After all, I haven't even received the reward yet..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That's true... But Ai's luck is genuinely incredible. It would be great if I had such a good task too... Hmm, I'm just purely jealous. Luck like that will never fall on my head."

Busujima Saeko: "Jealous +1..."

Miyu: "... Jealous +1..."

Illya: "Jealous +10086..."

Haibara Ai: "Illya, your check-ins are basically much better than ours. If you're still jealous, are you going to let the rest of us live... You have to know that system check-in rewards are very likely related to one's own world..."

Illya: "Hehe... I guess that's true! Rin and Ruby both said the magical energy inside me was ridiculously enormous. Yesterday, the two of them kept asking if I was descended from some Magical Noble Family. When Ruby and Rin found out I was just from an ordinary family, the looks on their faces were so funny! I even forgot to take a screenshot..."

Illya could not help grinning foolishly as she scratched her head. In the past, because she did not understand magecraft, things like endless Magic Power +1 had not been very useful to her. But now that she had obtained a wand, she could completely dominate the battlefield.

Even Rin, after discovering that she had been knocked unconscious in a single move, silently acknowledged Illya as Ruby's new owner. There was no helping it—Illya's strength had truly exceeded Tohsaka Rin's expectations.

This little girl was a wild genius...

Haibara Ai: "Illya, your personality is pretty awful too..."

Ai was speechless as well. She seriously suspected that the adorable Illya had been led astray by someone.

Illya: "Oh, right! Miyu, that transfer student was you, right..."

Miyu: "... Yes!"

After hesitating for a moment, Miyu quietly responded, then glanced at a certain silver-haired, red-eyed girl.

The reason Miyu could identify Illya in an instant was because she discovered that her system could lock onto Illya's system. Did that mean systems made by the same person could lock onto each other's locations? Or would they only do so when nearby?

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Miyu still doesn't like talking with us... Ai, as the senior in this regard, do you have anything to say? Maybe you can help Miyu become much more cheerful..."

Haibara Ai: "I'm not a senior in that regard! My personality is still very different from Miyu's!"

Ai felt like she was going crazy. She was not bad at talking with people; she was merely cautious!

Chu Chen worked on increasing the system's completion rate while scanning the conversations in the System Network.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Chu Chen was rather inclined to let Illya and Miyu interact further.

Right, if he let Illyasviel von Einzbern emerge early, would that count as causing a Worldline change?

But how could he separate Illyasviel von Einzbern? This was a serious problem. The first time Illya became Illyasviel von Einzbern was when the seal loosened during a crisis. The second time was when an error occurred while dealing with the leyline, causing magical energy to flow backward. Illya used the Archer Class Card again, and the seal was directly opened.

In other words, perhaps some external force could separate Illyasviel von Einzbern from Illya?

Chu Chen instantly fell into conflict again. This completion critical hit task required him to issue tasks himself. Once he interfered personally, it would not count, and that was what left Chu Chen most helpless.

Busujima Saeko: "@Administrator, are you there? Zombies have inexplicably appeared in our world. Do you know what is going on?"

Although Saeko was talking about a crisis, her tone remained as calm as ever.

There was no helping it. These mindless zombies were nothing more than a single slash to her, not enough to put her in danger.

Even as she sank into the thrill of slaughter, she had not forgotten to ask the Administrator about her world.

Chu Chen was immediately startled out of his thoughts. After glancing at the message, he curled his lips.

Had the main storyline finally begun over there?

Administrator: "Just treat this as your world undergoing a tribulation..."

Haibara Ai: "What the hell kind of tribulation is that... So Saeko's world is actually a Resident Evil world? Administrator, you knew and still didn't say anything earlier. Maybe we could have resolved this sooner..."

Administrator: "Saeko doesn't know which suicidal idiots caused Resident Evil, and I'm only responsible for administration, not spoilers. Otherwise, I wouldn't be called an Administrator—I'd be called a Spoiler Administrator!"

Haibara Ai: "..."

Illya: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

What you said made so much sense that they were actually speechless...
