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

After reaching a consensus as "comrades-in-arms," ​​the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.

Kotori took out a beautifully designed headset, the same model that Shido usually used, from her pocket and handed it to Chiin.

"Here, this is Ratatosk's special communicator, the same model as Shido's."

Kotori explained, "In addition to real-time communication, it also integrates location and vital sign monitoring functions, which can locate your position and provide assistance immediately in an emergency."

Chiin took the headphones, weighed them in his hand, and gave a look that said, "Isn't this a bit over the top?"

"Isn't this a bit unnecessary? I'm just an ordinary high school student, at most a former chuunibyou. Getting such professional equipment... it feels like I'm being put in a collar."

"Is necessary."

Kotori interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for argument, her eyes beneath the black ribbons looking very serious.

“Considering your sister Chinatsu’s power, and the potential threat from DEM, this is the most basic solution to ensure your safety. Your identity is different now, Chiin-nii. You must wear it at all times.”

Seeing Kotori's "no discussion" expression, Chiin shrugged helplessly and finally put the headset in her ears: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, Commander."

However, his eyes lit up, and he immediately began his performance. He imitated the mannerisms of some unscrupulous clients, cleared his throat, and started making his demands:

"Ahem, now that I'm an important assistant, I can't be careless about my treatment! I'm in that... Fraxinus, right? The treatment I get has to be top-notch! Unlimited snacks and drinks, priority access to the latest game consoles, and I need exclusive access to the massage function on the command console..."

He became more and more animated as he spoke, finally adopting a pained expression and clutching his chest:

"You know, Chika is my brother, my dearest friend and family!"

Upon hearing this, Kotori rolled her eyes with her signature dead fish expression, crossed her arms, and looked at Senin with a "I knew you'd pull this" look, waiting for his performance.

Shido, standing nearby, didn't react in time. Seeing Chiin suddenly make a demand, he assumed he was going back on his word or trying to raise the price, and quickly stepped forward to try and dissuade him: "Chiin, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qianyuan's next words caused him to slip and fall to the ground with a "plop".

Qianyuan extended his right hand, rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, making a classic "add money" gesture, and wore an undisguised shrewd smile on his face:

"—It will cost more."

Kotori looked at Shido, who was slumped on the ground, and Chiin, who had a knowing look on her face. She sighed helplessly, took the lollipop out of her mouth, waved it like a conductor's baton, and then began to quote prices in a flat, monotone, almost chanting manner:

"Okay. Listen up: You can enjoy unlimited free access to all of Ratatosk's businesses, including gyms, massage parlors, foot massage parlors, and buffet restaurants, simply by presenting your identity. In addition, I'll provide you with a top-of-the-line water-cooled gaming PC, complete with a full set of RGB peripherals."

She paused, looked at Chiin whose eyes were already shining, and slowly added the last sentence: "If you perform well, we can consider assigning you two beautiful female assistants in maid outfits to serve you tea and water, and massage your shoulders and legs."

"Godfather—!!!"

As soon as Kotori finished speaking, Chiin knelt down without hesitation, tightly embracing Kotori's slender legs clad in black over-the-knee stockings. She pressed her face against them and shouted in an extremely blissful and fawning tone:

"Kotori, my godfather! From this day forward, you will be my guiding light! My second parents! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

"I'll go through fire and water for you, Godfather!"

He rubbed against Kotori's black stockings with a blissful expression, and even when Kotori tried to push him away by gently stepping on his face with her leather shoes, he didn't care at all. Instead, he showed an even happier (?) expression.

After the farce, it was already late at night. Senin, satisfied (at least in terms of treatment), prepared to say goodbye and go home.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by two burly men in black suits who appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh? What's wrong? Can't I go back?" Chiin turned around and looked at Kotori with a blank expression.

Kotori, licking her new lollipop, said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"For your safety, starting today, you will be staying at Shido's house temporarily. We have prepared a spare room."

"Once the safe apartments we've built specifically for elves and related personnel are completed, you can move in... um, become a security captain or something."

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Chiin immediately jumped up in protest. "Forced overnight stay? And you want me to be your security guard? Are you kidding me! I'm an important 'assistant'! A technical expert! Do I have any human rights?!"

"Objection overruled." Kotori dismissed him decisively. "This is for your safety, and it's part of the plan. Take him away." Then she winked at the two burly men.

The two burly men immediately understood and, without saying a word, grabbed Qianyuan's arms from the left and right.

"Wait! Shido! Help me!"

"This is illegal detention! Hey! Be gentle! My arm!"

"Kotori! Godfather! Let's talk about this again!"

"At least we've already paid for the beautiful maids!"

Chiin's wails gradually faded away, and he was "escorted" back to Shido's guest room by the two crew members.

Shido watched this scene, wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and gained a new understanding of his younger sister's decisive and efficient methods.

It seems that from today onwards, the liveliness of the Itsuko family will reach a new level.

Chapter 194 Complaint

Watching Chiin being carried away by the two "impartial" crew members, Shido sighed and resignedly followed. After all, Chiin was his friend of many years, and Chiin was new to the area; he was sure Chiin would be completely clueless about where to put his belongings and how to make his bed.

Sure enough, when Shido entered the guest room, Chiin was looking at the empty bed and the unopened bedding bundles piled up in the corner, looking worried.

"Hey Shido, is your 'VIP treatment' just about letting guests fend for themselves?" Chiin said, hands on her hips.

"Stop talking nonsense and come help." Shido rolled his eyes at him, walked over and skillfully began to unpack the package. "You think everyone is like you, an 'immortal dark mage' who's too lazy to even fold the blankets at home?"

"Kukuku, how can the mundane affairs of mortals trouble my realm?" Qianyuan said in a childish tone, but his body was very honest as he came over to help pull the quilt cover.

"But speaking of which... Shido, is this how you usually 'win over' a Spirit? Starting with helping with housework? This approach is way too straightforward, isn't it?"

Shido nearly choked on his own saliva, and angrily threw a pillow at his face: "What nonsense are you talking about! This is just basic hospitality! Besides, Tohka's situation was special back then..."

Chiin caught the pillow, grinning mischievously as she leaned closer: "Oh? Special? How special? Tell me? Was it like when you made my bed today, where you 'accidentally' made physical contact? And then the atmosphere became ambiguous?"

"What are you thinking about?!" Shido blushed slightly and forcefully threw off the blanket. "Tohka and I...we were..."

"What is it?" Qianyuan pressed on relentlessly, his face practically screaming "gossip."

Shido held back for a long time, but finally gave up and said helplessly, "...It's a responsibility. It's a responsibility to see it and not just ignore it."

Chiin's playful expression softened slightly. He helped Shido tuck in the blanket, and his tone became more serious:

"Well... that sounds like something you'd say. But Shido, seriously, 'date her and make her blush'... who came up with that idea? It sounds like a proposal from an otaku who's played too many visual novels. Is that Ratatosk thing of yours really any good?"

“It’s better than letting the spirit’s power run rampant, or being captured by DEM.” Shido replied while tidying the sheets. “Besides, Kotori and the others have done a lot of analysis and support work behind the scenes. It’s not as simple as you think.”

“Analysis? Support?” Chiin raised an eyebrow. “It’s not like a bunch of people on a spaceship watching you and my sister go on a date, then pointing fingers and saying things like, ‘Option A: +5 favorability, Option B: You might get slapped’? That sounds even more perverted!”

"Hey!" Shido really wanted to smother this loose-tongued guy with a pillow.

"Hahaha, just kidding." Chiin laughed and dodged away.

"However, Shido, regarding the ultimate goal of 'stealing her first kiss'... will you be able to bring yourself to do it? To my sister's face, which might summon the Void Spear or the Law of Reason at any moment?"

Shido froze completely, his cheeks turning red at a visible speed, steam practically rising from his head: "This...this...we'll see...it depends on the situation..."

"Whatever the situation? You really have designs on my sister, huh?" Chiin narrowed her eyes, mimicking Commander Kotori's tone. "Option one: Bravely charge in, you might get the Elf's Kiss, or you might get a Space Cutting Experience Ticket. Option two: Strategically retreat, and be despised by the entire ship. Shido, what will you choose?"

"I'd rather kick you out right now and make you sleep in the hallway!" Shido, enraged, grabbed another pillow and began chasing after Chiin.

The two of them started playfully fighting in the not-so-spacious guest room, just like when they were children, with pillows and feathers flying everywhere. The previous heaviness and oppression seemed to be temporarily dispelled in this familiar laughter and banter.

Tired from playing around, the two sat side by side on the edge of the newly made bed, slightly out of breath.

Chiin stared at the ceiling and suddenly asked softly, "Hey, Shido... Was Tohka, at the beginning, also as... 'naive' as she seems today? Like she didn't understand anything about this world."

Shido paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. She's like a blank sheet of paper, full of curiosity about everything, and easily hurt. She's very powerful, but her heart... is actually very simple."

“Is that so…” Chiin lowered her head, looking at her palm, as if trying to see something in it. “Then what about my sister Chika… what is she like now?”

His voice lacked its previous playfulness, replaced by a subtle hint of worry and confusion.

Shido patted him on the shoulder, unsure how to respond. They were facing a spirit who was more powerful, more complex, and had a deep blood bond with Senin.

The road ahead remains shrouded in mist. But at least for now, they are no longer facing it alone.

Chapter 195 Concealing?

After some effort, the bed in the guest room was finally made up to look presentable.

Shido and Senin were so exhausted that they collapsed backward onto the brand-new bed, spreading out in a "spread-eagle" shape, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... I finally got it done... It was even more tiring than fighting the 'Shadow Dragon'..." Chiin groaned weakly, expressing his exhaustion in a chuunibyou-esque way.

"Come on, you didn't really do anything..." Shido complained, but his body betrayed him, showing he didn't want to move.

"Ah... is this what it feels like to live under someone else's roof? You even have to make your own bed." Chiin chimed in from the side, but her tone was clearly teasing.

Lying there for less than a minute, Chiin attempted a somersault, but failed, instead slowly wriggling to sit up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shido:

"Hey, Shido! We're comrades now, right?"

"Hmm...I guess so." Shido had a bad feeling.

"Shouldn't comrades share resources and be completely honest with each other?" Qian Yuan continued to patiently guide them.

"Just tell me what you want to do."

"Take me to see that! Fraxinus! The airship!" Chiin's voice was filled with the excitement unique to a late-stage chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer.

"That's something that only exists in animation and dreams! I have to see it for myself! Now! Right now! Immediately!"

"This isn't some delusional fantasy; it's real! As an 'important assistant,' I need to get familiar with the work environment, right?"

Shido, his head aching from the noise, sat up in exasperation: "That's a military facility, not an amusement park..."

"Please! My dearest friend! My brother! As your future brother-in-law!" Chiin clasped his hands together, making an exaggerated pleading gesture, "Just one look! I promise I won't touch you or anything! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and I'll definitely come and bother you!"

Annoyed by Chiin, Shido had no choice but to contact Kotori through his headset.

After briefly explaining the situation and receiving Kotori's permission that "it's okay, it's good for him to get familiar with the environment, but keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble," Shido grabbed Chiin's shoulder.

"Don't move, we're about to teleport."

"Oh! Is it teleportation? Cool—!" Before Chiin could finish speaking, a slight feeling of weightlessness washed over them, and the surrounding scenery blurred and distorted instantly. The next moment, the two of them found themselves in a vast space filled with futuristic technology—the bridge of the Fraxinus.

"Welcome to Fraxinus, Itsuka Shido, and Hououin Senin-san."

A calm and capable male voice rang out. There stood Vice Commander Kōhei Kannazuki, impeccably dressed, with a serious expression and impeccable manners.

With Kotori not on board, he temporarily took command and naturally toned down his eccentric (in a good way?) demeanor, appearing exceptionally reliable.

"Wow... Oh..." Chiin's mouth dropped open, like a country boy visiting the city for the first time, looking around curiously. The huge main screen, the smooth control console flashing with various data streams, the crew members coming and going, curious yet professional... all of this was far beyond his imagination.

Chiin looked around curiously at the high-tech control consoles, the huge main screen, and the crew members coming and going, each performing their duties, constantly exclaiming "Oh!" and "Wow!"

"Is this a real airborne warship? It's even cooler than I imagined! Where is the energy core? Does it have a supergravity cannon? Can it transform?" He asked one question after another, like a child entering an amusement park for the first time.

With a professional smile, Kannazuki began to give Senin a basic introduction and guidance, speaking in a calm tone and providing detailed information, perfectly playing the role of a reliable assistant.

Meanwhile, at the Itsuko family.

After coaxing Tohka, who was a little tired from playing, to sleep, Kotori returned to the living room. From the shadows, Murasame Reine silently emerged.

"Kotori, what did Tohka say?"

"Tohka couldn't say anything, only that there was something there, but it was very faint, like she had been in the house the other person had just left."

Kotori then replaced her lollipop with a new one, but her expression had returned to that of a commander—calm and sharp. She looked at Reine and asked directly:

"Lingyin, how is it? Qianyuan-ge... did the tests show any problems?"

Lingyin adjusted her glasses, her gaze behind the lenses calm and unwavering. In her characteristic, slightly weary voice, she reported: "Monitoring results...no abnormalities were found. Apart from extremely faint traces of spiritual energy fluctuations originating from the same source as Qianxia's, no other abnormal energy reactions or signs of mental interference were detected on his body. This matches our previous analysis—'his disappearance and return yesterday were most likely due to Qianxia using spatial abilities to directly teleport him'—"

Kotori crossed her arms and sighed helplessly: "Based on Tohka's statement, it seems that they may really have some connection. Chiin did catch up with Chika, although the reason for the pursuit is unclear, but he still caught up with her, and then he was thrown back by a spatial teleportation, or even his memories were wiped and he was thrown back again."

"As for today's disappearance, Chiin explained that he had been sleeping until I went to wake him. Our monitoring robot lost contact shortly after entering the room. According to the timeline, Chika came and took Chiin away before this morning. It's possible that Chiin's search yesterday caught Chika's attention, and then something happened between them. They probably had a falling out, and Chika erased Chiin's memory again and sent him back."

"Lingyin, is there anything you'd like to add?"

Lingyin paused, then added, "If there's anything noteworthy, it's his emotional spectrum. Upon learning most of the truth, his emotional fluctuations were much calmer than expected, bordering on...overly composed. The only intense emotional peak occurred..."

Lingyin paused for a moment, as if searching for the right words: "...when he mistakenly thought that Xiaoshi was going to start a harem and intended to 'conquer' Chinatsu."

Upon hearing this, Kotori's lips curled into a knowing smile: "Heh, as expected. Doesn't this just confirm that he's a hidden siscon?"

Lingyin frowned slightly, a hint of academic inquiry in her voice: "Based on the behavioral data, he does fit the pattern of an 'overprotective older brother.' But, Kotori, is he 'really' a siscon? According to the files, he was very young when he separated from Chinatsu, and he has lost his memories. How has this strong emotional bond been preserved to this day?"

Kotori walked to the window, looking at the night outside, her tone tinged with reminiscence: "I think so. When we were little, Chiin-nii took special care of me. Even though he was only a little older than us, he always liked to hold me and play with me, telling me stories. Sometimes when Shido thought I was too much trouble and didn't want to play along with my antics, it was always Chiin-nii who would step in and smooth things over, indulging me. He also loved to pat my head and tidy my wind-blown hair... That kind of natural closeness and care can't be faked. It's definitely a sign that he longed for a little sister."

She turned to look at Lingyin: "I guess, deep down he's always longed for a younger sister he could take care of like this. Or perhaps..."

Kotori's voice lowered, tinged with complex emotions: "Perhaps, in his subconscious without even realizing it, there has always been a vague void about 'sister.' The way he treated me when we were little... could it be that subconsciously he saw me as a substitute for Chinatsu?"

“But now,” Kotori shrugged, “he doesn’t remember Chinatsu at all. So, his ‘sister complex’ towards Chinatsu might not be as deep as we thought? Perhaps it’s more based on blood ties, and a sense of responsibility and protectiveness that arose after learning the truth?”
