A beautiful girl who transmigrates into a Herrscher of the Void is treated like an elf and conquered

Then, he belatedly realized something he had overlooked for a long time.

Because his attention was completely drawn to the strange girl, he didn't notice that he was soaked through, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Incidentally, because I was in such a hurry to save people, my knees landed directly on the wet ground, and now my pants are covered in a large, conspicuous stain.

"Ugh... really..."

As he pondered the realistic yet somewhat desperate question, "Do we still have any strong stain remover at home?", he frantically scratched his soaking wet hair. Water droplets bounced off the ends of his hair and splashed everywhere.

Since he was already this wet, there was nothing he could do. Shido turned his melancholy and doubt into a long sigh, stayed where he was, and then dragged his heavy (both physical and mental) steps on his way home.

"Ah... I'm soaked to the bone." He repeated this factual complaint weakly as he walked.

Chapter 192 Confession?

Dragging his soaking wet and heavy body, Shido finally arrived at his front door. He instinctively reached for his keys, only to find the door ajar and not locked at all.

"Sigh... Kotori forgot to lock the door again." He sighed helplessly and pushed the door open to enter.

In the entryway, besides Kotori's and his own shoes, there was a pair of familiar men's sneakers. Shido paused for a moment, then recognized the shoes' owner.

(Chiin? What's he doing here? Wasn't he missing?)

Filled with questions, he changed into slippers and walked into the living room. The scene before him left him momentarily dazed.

There sat Chiin Phoenix—the one who had driven him and Ratatosk crazy—casually on the carpet in his living room.

What's even more surprising is that Tohka, like the most well-behaved student, sat upright next to him, her purple eyes fixed on Senin with curiosity and focus.

At this moment, Senin was making some extremely embarrassing and dated gestures (to Shido's eyes), muttering to himself:

"Listen! Elemental spirits that surround the world! In the name of the 'Dark Flame Master,' I command you to gather here and burn away all filth! Dark Flame Master—Incinerate!"

It was during the time when he and Senin were both obsessed with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) that Senin gave himself the title and the name of his moves!

"Oh—!" Tohka let out a soft exclamation, watching Senin's exaggerated yet inexplicably imposing movements. Her face was filled with "Wow, that's amazing!" and "I want to learn!" She even began to clumsily imitate Senin's gestures, mumbling along, "Pitch...black...flame?"

Kotori, on the other hand, sat on the sofa opposite, a familiar jewel dangling from her mouth, a black ribbon tied around her head representing "Commander Mode," and her expression was more serious than ever before.

She looked at the somewhat comical scene before her, but showed no sign of amusement; her eyes were sharp as if she were assessing something.

"I'm back..." Shido greeted weakly.

Upon hearing the sound, Chiin immediately stopped his "teaching" and turned around. Seeing Shido, dripping wet, with his hair hanging down his forehead and looking disheveled, his eyes lit up, and he immediately sprang to his feet, revealing a familiar, slightly mischievous smile on his face.

"Hey! Isn't this our dear 'Contractor' Itsuka Shido?" Senin walked over in a few steps and unceremoniously put her arm around Shido's wet shoulder, completely unconcerned that the water stains were getting on her.

He leaned close to Shido's ear and whispered in a teasing tone, in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Hey, Shido, you're pretty good! It's only been a few days? And you've already won over such an innocent, charming, and top-tier beauty? Share your secrets with your bro! Did you use some kind of ancestral flirting spell? Hmm?"

As he spoke, he nudged Shido's ribs with his elbow, not too hard, not too soft.

Shido was both amused and exasperated by his actions and words, and helplessly pushed him away: "Stop messing around, Senin! There's no secret... By the way, what are you doing at my house?"

Upon hearing this, Senin shrugged and pointed to Kotori, who was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression:

"It was your younger sister who specially came to my house to 'invite' me over. I don't know what happened, she was acting all mysterious and very serious."

A hint of confusion crossed his face as he continued to complain:

"Speaking of which, Shido, isn't your sister usually quite sweet and cute? Like when she wears a white headband. Why is she acting like a completely different person today? She's all fierce and acting like a little adult, which is making me a little nervous."

Shido looked at Senin, who was completely oblivious and still struggling with Kotori's condition, and immediately understood.

(So... is it time for a showdown?)

He looked into Senin's eyes, which still held a mocking tone and seemed oblivious to the impending storm, and felt a mix of emotions.

The lighthearted banter is about to end. Next, this friend who has been with him for many years will face a real world far beyond his imagination.

All of this stemmed from his blood-related yet unfamiliar "sister"—Hououin Chika.

Shido took a deep breath, feeling the damp chill spread from his body to his heart.

He knew that from this moment on, the peaceful daily life would become a thing of the past for Chiin.

------

The steaming hot food was already on the table, but none of the four people present—Shido, Kotori, Chiin, and Tohka, who, though not quite understanding, was unusually quiet because she keenly sensed that something was wrong—took a bite.

The air seemed to freeze, filled with a sense of oppressive tension, as if a storm was brewing.

Even the usually oblivious Chiin could clearly sense that something was wrong.

He sat next to Shido, nudging him with his elbow and winking at him with questioning eyes: "What's going on? Did your sister take the wrong medicine today? The atmosphere is scary!"

(Crimson...Gold Experience Requiem! Boss, time deletion failed. Quickly say thank you Giorno.)

Shido wailed inwardly, but time continued to tick away second by second in reality.

Finally, Kotori cleared her throat, breaking the suffocating silence.

She placed her hands on the table, looked directly at Qianyuan, and began her narration in a commanding, unquestionable tone.

From the existence of "Elves" to the truth of "Spacequakes," and then to "Ratatosk," an organization established to stop Spacequakes and protect the coexistence of Elves and humans.

And its core tactic—"Date her and make her blush"...

The sheer volume of information was like a tsunami, overwhelming Qianyuan's understanding.

As Kotori recounted her story, Senin's expression shifted from initial confusion to surprise, then to disbelief, and finally to a stiffness.

When Kotori mentions that he, Hououin Chiin, has a younger sister who was lost for many years and is now appearing in the world as a "Spirit," named "Hououin Chinatsu," and that this sister is currently in a dangerous state of power go berserk and personality splitting...

Senin abruptly raised his hand, interrupting Kotori, his voice carrying a suppressed, almost absurd tremor:

"Wait! You mean... I was supposed to have a younger sister?"

Shido nodded reluctantly: "...Yes."

Chiin's eyes darted around, as if processing the information, before confirming in an even more eerie tone: "She's now... a magical girl? And she's erased my memories?"

Shido's lips twitched, trying to find a more accurate description: "Emmm...it's not entirely wrong to understand it that way...but the situation is much more complicated..."

Chiin's gaze suddenly sharpened, scraping across Shido's face like a knife, and his voice deepened:

"And then... you, Itsuka Shido, one of my best brothers, are going to 'conquer' my sister? Go on dates with her, make her blush, and finally... steal her first kiss and add her to your harem?"

“That’s too much…” Shido tried to explain, but Senin had already stood up abruptly with a “thump”!

The chair legs scraped against the floor with a screeching sound. Chiin grabbed Shido by the collar and lifted the slightly taller Shido off his seat!

His face was a mixture of anger, the absurdity of being betrayed, and a brotherly instinct to protect his offspring.

"Iron! You bastard!"

Chiin practically growled.

"Putting aside whether your talk about elves and spacequakes is real or not! Just the fact that you want to build a harem and date my sister is enough to make me never agree! Don't even think about it!"

"Brother Qianyuan!"

Kotori immediately stood up, slammed her small hand heavily on the table, making a crisp sound, her expression extremely serious.

"This is not the time for sentimentality or personal desires!"

“Kotori…” Shido looked at the two who were on the verge of exchanging blows and tried to de-escalate the situation.

But Kotori completely ignored Shido, her gaze fixed intently on Senin:

"We in Ratatosk need your help, Chiin-kun! Based on my years of observation and understanding, you're secretly a 'siscon' at heart, aren't you, Chiin-kun!"

Her words were like sharp arrows, striking the unspoken corners of Chiin's heart.

"Now, a 'perfect' sister, who is connected to you by blood, has been lost for many years, is strong and in need of help, right in front of you. Don't you want to find her? Don't you want to understand her, protect her, and make up for the lack of family affection over the years as an older brother?"

Chiin's grip on Shido's collar loosened slightly, a flicker of wavering crossing her eyes, but it was quickly overcome by practical considerations:

"But... according to you, my sister... Chika, she's fully capable of beating up the whole world, right? If she's really that powerful, can't I just wait for her to come back after she solves these problems herself?"

"Things aren't that simple!"

Kotori's voice rose an octave, carrying an undeniable sense of urgency.

"Not to mention that Chika's power rampage and personality issues could very well lead her to self-destruct before she can solve the problem."

"Even if she really did 'deal with' all her enemies through violence, what would the world become in the process?"

"Cities turned to scorched earth, countless people displaced—is this the 'peace' your sister bought with her hands stained with blood?"

Kotori pressed on relentlessly, starting with the dangers of uncontrolled spirit power to the world, then moving on to the potentially disastrous consequences of Chinatsu's current extreme beliefs, and finally to the situation that Chinain, as Chinatsu's only known blood relative, would face in this process.

"—Most importantly, Chiin-san, your situation is extremely dangerous!" Kotori said firmly.

"A rival organization called 'DEM' is also searching for and attempting to capture spirits. They'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Once they find out about your relationship with Chika, what do you think they'll do?"

Kotori paused, then said, word by word, "You, Phoenix Inu Senin, will become the perfect 'hostage' for them to use to threaten and control Chinatsu."

Finally, Kotori took a deep breath and concluded, "I have now explained everything that I was able to tell you, Senin-nii, without reservation."

"Chiin-nii, are you going to decide to join us now? Not for Shido, and not for some ridiculous strategy, but for your sister—Hououin Chika."

All eyes were on Chiin. He released his grip on Shido's collar, slowly sat back down in his chair, and lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

The only sounds in the restaurant were the ticking of the clock and Tohka's careful swallowing.

A heavy choice weighed on the shoulders of the older brother who had just learned he had a "magical girl" sister.

Under Kotori's resounding statement and unquestionable gaze, Senin's hand, which was gripping Shido's collar, finally loosened in vain.

As if all his strength had been drained, he staggered backward, slumped back into his chair, leaned back slightly, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The sheer volume of information, the worry about his unknown sister, and the absurdity of being caught up in supernatural events seemed to overload his brain for a moment.

“Chiin…?” Shido straightened his disheveled collar and looked at him with some concern.

Just then, a warm little hand gently poked Chiin's cheek.

Tohka came closer, her purple eyes filled with pure worry. She didn't seem to understand exactly what had happened, but she could sense that Senin was very down at the moment.

Feeling the gentle touch on her cheek, Chiin's unfocused gaze refocused.

He turned his head and saw Tohka's worried eyes, like those of a small animal, and a helpless, slightly tired smile appeared on his face.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Tohka's smooth, dark hair, his movements tender. "Mmm..." Tohka, like a cat being petted, slightly narrowed her eyes and made a comfortable purring sound from her throat, seemingly enjoying the comfort.

Chiin chuckled softly, withdrew his hand, and sat up straight again. He took a deep breath, as if to expel all the frustration from his chest, and then his face returned to its usual expression, which carried a hint of cynicism and chuunibyou.

"Kukuku... No need to worry, Night's Families."

He adopted a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tone and said to Tohka, "I am the Mysterious Immortal Black Mage, who lingers on the border between life and death and wields forbidden secrets!"

"This level of truth and shock is merely a footnote to my epic tale; how could it easily defeat me?"

He used this method to subtly reassure the worried Tohka, and it also seemed to be a way of encouraging himself.

Then, his gaze shifted to Shido and Kotori, who were staring intently at him, and his expression gradually became serious.

“Alright…” Chiin shrugged, her tone resigned yet firm, “I agree.”

He glanced at Shido, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "After all, just like Kotori said, I have no reason to refuse. A little sister who needs help... it sounds like a main quest that the protagonist in an RPG game has to accept. Running away is not my style."

But then he raised a finger, his tone hardening, and looked sharply at Shido:

"—But! My agreement to join doesn't mean I'll force Chinatsu to accept your 'conquest' plan! Shido, if you want to get close to my sister, you'll have to rely on your own real skills! Make her willingly acknowledge you and approach you!"

He leaned forward, with what he perceived as the authority of an elder brother, and warned, word by word:

"And listen to me, Itsuka Shido. If you dare to treat Chinatsu badly, or make her sad or upset... even if you're one of my best brothers, I will absolutely not let you off! I'll make you pay! Understand?"

Upon hearing Chiin's clear reply and his distinctively personal warning, Shido and Kotori both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere finally eased somewhat.

“Of course.” Shido nodded solemnly. “I will do my best.” Although the road ahead was full of unknowns, the addition of his friend was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

Kotori's face showed the first hint of relief of the day. She moved the jewel in her mouth to the other side and summarized in a commander's tone:

“Very good. From this moment on, Phoenix Institute Senin, you are an assistant to us Ratatoskr and an important part of our plan to protect the Elves and stabilize the situation.”

She looked at Shido and Senin, the black ribbons swaying slightly in the wind:

"Now, we are comrades-in-arms standing on the same front."
