I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

No longer the distant and powerful "god" who commanded the Ministry of Service, pointing out the flaws in the world and seemingly able to manipulate everything.

Instead, she's someone who makes mistakes, embarrasses herself, and gets flustered trying to make a dessert for herself...

Live people.

It belongs only to her.

at this time.

When Lynn finally carefully brought out the bowl of "fruit pudding," which looked terrible but was at least somewhat formed,...

A pair of soft, slender arms suddenly and gently wrapped around his waist from behind.

Lynn's body stiffened abruptly.

A faint, sweet fragrance, like the scent of fresh grass after rain, wafted into my nostrils.

Behind him, a soft and warm petite body was pressed tightly against him.

He could even feel the girl's heart pounding wildly.

"Qiong?"

He was stunned, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Behind me, there was a long silence.

It went on for so long that Lynn thought she wouldn't answer anymore.

A faint, trembling, and incredibly fragile voice then rang out.

"...Don't abandon me."

The girl buried her face deeply in his back, her voice muffled, tinged with a heartbreaking sob.

"I want to... be with Onii-chan... forever and ever."

These words, like the softest feather, gently brushed against Lynn's heart.

He could clearly sense the overflowing extreme fear of being abandoned and the intense dependence on this hard-won warmth emanating from the little one behind him.

Lynn smiled.

It was a kind of tenderness that came from the heart, without any impurities, and was pure.

But he failed to realize that behind the girl's dependence lay a twisted and obsessive possessiveness that had long exceeded the normal range.

He simply raised his hand and gently placed it over the small hands that were wrapped around his waist, as if comforting a frightened young animal.

He answered in a matter-of-fact, gentle tone.

"fool."

His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze in April.

"Family members should always be together."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He freed one hand, took out his phone, and glanced at it.

It was a message from Yukino Yukinoshita.

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Professor Lynn, following your framework, all groups have completed the first phase of task coordination. The preliminary integration report is now sent to your email address for your review. Also, I have a few questions regarding the joint promotional material; I wonder if this is a convenient time for you…]

As Lynn looked at the meticulously worded message, with even the punctuation perfect like a textbook, she could almost picture the girl working diligently under the desk lamp, despite her exhaustion.

He was typing with one hand, preparing to reply.

"..."

"Family...?"

The girl buried behind him paused slightly.

She slowly raised her delicate face, which was hidden by her long hair and could not be seen by anyone.

Her gaze fell on Lynn's glowing phone screen, specifically on the words "Yukino Yukinoshita".

Deep within those perpetually lifeless gray eyes, something was quietly melting, while something else was growing wildly.

Yes.

family.

The most intimate, unique, and irreplaceable, which I can possess forever and not allow anyone else to touch...

family.

She slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

It was a very faint, yet slightly sickly, satisfied smile.

The arms around Lynn's waist tightened even more.

Chapter 33: Tuanzi Hongwen, the Second Disciple of Another World

The following day was Sunday.

Bright sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

Lynn yawned as she walked out of the room; the living room was quiet.

Qiong's door was ajar, neither closed nor locked.

Lynn paused, a subtle ripple stirring in his heart.

漪。

For this girl who had once completely shut herself off, this door, no longer tightly closed, signifies the complete dissolution of a psychological barrier.

She has already come to regard this place as her real home.

He tiptoed over and peeked through the crack in the door at what was inside.

The girl was lying on the soft bed, her slender body fully stretched out, like a lazy white kitten.

She was wearing a large, white T-shirt that belonged to Lynn, the hem of which barely covered the top of her thighs, revealing a pair of straight, shapely, and slender legs that looked like they were carved from ivory.

Her delicate, white feet were encased in pure white short socks, which swayed gently up and down in the air as she browsed the web, tracing alluring arcs.

Her long, silvery-white hair spread out on the pillow like moonlight, making her already fair and translucent profile appear even more exquisite, almost unreal.

Seemingly sensing the gaze from outside the door, she turned her head slightly, her usually calm gray eyes looking over.

There was no panic, no shyness.

There was only a sense of entitlement, as if asking, "Onii-chan, what's wrong?"

Lynn knew that something had completely changed on that evening when their fingers were intertwined.

Just as he was about to say something.

Om-!

An unprecedented, sharp, and piercing alarm suddenly and violently exploded deep within his mind!

[WARNING! WARNING! High-risk spatiotemporal disturbance detected!]

Lynn's movements froze for a moment.

Before their eyes, a scarlet virtual panel suddenly unfolded, each character on it flashing with an ominous light.

[Cross-border Emergency Mission: Red Alert!]

[World ID: T-003 (Tristin Magic Academy)]

[Event Summary: High-risk energy fluctuations detected in the target world. A girl in this world named "Louise Francis Lou Brown du La Vallière" possesses a very special [Void] attribute within her.]

[Deduction Conclusion: There is a 97.3% probability that the upcoming "Familiar Summoning" ritual will go out of control due to the [Void] attribute, forcibly tearing apart the world's barrier and triggering an uncontrollable chain of spacetime disasters!]

Lynn's pupils contracted slightly.

Previously, Shinobu Kocho was "received passively".

This time... it's the first time the system has issued a task to proactively intervene!

[Task Type: Active Intervention]

[Mission Objective: Disguise yourself as a "summoned entity," descend upon the world of [T-003], guide the "Void" host Louise, and prevent the world line from collapsing.]

[Quest Reward: Successfully forming a familiar contract with Louise will grant you the passive talent [God's Left Hand - Gandalf]! You will also permanently unlock the "World Coordinates" active teleportation function in the safe house!]

【"God's Left Hand" - "Gundaruf": When your left hand touches any "handheld" weapon or tool, your soul will resonate with the causal laws of all realms, instantly gaining perfect understanding and complete control over the item. This includes everything from scalpels to Star Destroyer joysticks, from chopsticks to legendary holy swords.】

[Note: The host can choose to refuse.]

Holy crap! Who could refuse that?!

Upon seeing the reward description, even Lynn's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

This is simply... a divine skill tailor-made for him!

He possesses the top-tier passive ability, "Perfect Combat Intuition (Advanced)," a super-enhanced version of "Transparent World" from Demon Slayer, which allows him to predict everything. However, his physical abilities are insufficient to perfectly execute those "optimal solutions."

And this [Gundaruf] is the perfect piece of the puzzle to fill in the last missing piece!

[Perfect Combat Intuition (Advanced): Your soul resonates with the causal laws of all realms, allowing you to instinctively anticipate all threats and automatically devise optimal solutions that transcend logic. Theoretically, as long as your body can keep up, you are absolutely invincible.]

"System, how long will this mission take?"

[During the mission, the real-world time flow will be 1:1. The estimated duration is 48 hours, during which the system will analyze and solidify the new capabilities.]

Does time never stop?

Lynn frowned slightly.

The first person he thought of was Qiong.

I'll be gone for two days, and she'll be going to and from school alone. What if something happens to her...?

He rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

No, it must be arranged properly.

Lynn's memory was phenomenal; he instantly pulled up the most suitable candidate from the student files.

Yuigahama Yui.

Her home is nearby, just a few minutes' walk away, so going to and from school is entirely convenient.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately dialed Yuihama's number.

……

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Yui Yuigahama was humming an off-key pop song, rubbing her signature bun with foam all over her head.

"Crash-"

Warm water cascaded down from the showerhead, washing over the girl's well-proportioned, healthy, and youthful body.

Just then, the phone on the shelf suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.

"Hey! Who is it?!"

She muttered to herself, thinking it was some kind of sales call.

She casually wiped the water droplets from her face and picked up her phone with some impatience.

The next second, her movements froze completely.

What was flashing on the screen wasn't an "unknown number," but two names that made her heart skip a beat—

Teacher Lynn

"Huh?! Huh?! Huh?!"

Yui Yuigahama panicked completely, and her phone almost slipped into the bathtub.

Teacher Lynn?!

Why would he suddenly call me?!

The girl's cheeks flushed bright red, as if they were about to bleed. The moisture and shyness mixed together, leaving her mind blank.
