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

"Chiin, please don't joke with me... How should I put it? I've only just met Phoenix Institute, we don't even know each other yet... It's too early to talk about this now."

This answer neither explicitly refused nor showed any eagerness; it was rather conventional.

After hearing this, Aha (Chiin)'s bright smile faded a bit, but he wasn't disappointed. Instead, it was as if he had obtained some interesting data.

He hummed thoughtfully, then quietly sat back down, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes darting around, seemingly concocting some new "fun" for himself.

When Origami heard that Shido did not immediately agree, the wariness in her eyes towards Chinatsu relaxed slightly, but she still held tightly to Shido's arm, as if to assert some kind of ownership.

Chinatsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. (Thank goodness... if Shido had actually agreed to Aha's suggestion, the situation would have been completely out of control...)

The group sat for a while longer, chatting casually about trivial matters. Shido mainly inquired about Chiin's health, while Aha evaded the question with various chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) remarks. Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights came on.

Shido felt it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye.

"Chiin, you should rest well. We won't bother you any longer. Phoenix Institute, thank you for your hospitality today." Origami also stood up, still staying close to Shido.

Chika also got up to see the guests off.

However, just as Shido and Origami reached the door, and Chinatsu was about to say "goodbye"—

[Ding-dong! New mission issued!]

[Mission Objective: Taking advantage of Shido's recent conversation about "getting to know each other," agree to go on a date with him!]

[Mission Reward: A special surprise!]

[Task Penalty: Refusal or failure will permanently solidify your current female physiological form and randomly result in the loss of one behavioral habit/memory fragment from your male phase (e.g., forgetting how to use the toilet standing up? Or developing an interest in pretty dresses? Hehe~)]

The sudden system notification made her freeze!

The particularly gruesome punishments sent chills down her spine!

Chapter 64 The Stairwell Surprise Wall Slam

(Ahahaha!!! You damned joke god!!!)

Qianxia suddenly turned her head and glared angrily at her "brother" in the living room, who was still resting his chin on his hand and looking completely indifferent. Her eyes were practically spitting fire.

Aha (Chiin) felt her murderous gaze, but instead of being afraid, he blinked innocently and even playfully whistled a short, off-key tune.

He had an arrogant attitude that said, "It's none of my business, the system posted it itself."

(I @#￥%&*……!) Chika's mind was instantly flooded with all sorts of censored words.

But she knew it was useless to reason with this bastard Star God, and that punishment... she absolutely did not want to try it!

Becoming a girl is bad enough, but if she forgets how to be a man or develops some strange hobbies... then it's better to just kill her!

In the living room, Shido watched as Chinatsu suddenly glared angrily at "Chiin," while "Chiin" innocently whistled and looked up at the sky.

The bizarre, silent interaction between the siblings, which seemed to be a communication through thought (in reality, it was Chika's one-sided angry condemnation), left him completely baffled.

(These brother and sister seem to have a good relationship, but sometimes it feels a bit strange...)

Shido scratched his head in confusion, but ultimately decided not to delve any further into his friend's "private affairs."

"Um... Senin, Phoenix Institute classmate, it's getting late, we really should go."

Shido said goodbye again and this time reached the door smoothly. Origami followed closely behind like a shadow.

Chika suppressed her anger towards Aha and reluctantly nodded to Shido.

Shido and Origami walked down the stairs one after the other. When they reached the apartment building, Origami stopped, turned to Shido, and said in her calm, even tone, "Shido, I'm going back now."

"Ah, okay, Tobiichi-kun, be careful on your way," Shido quickly replied.

Origami nodded, said nothing more, turned around and left decisively, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Watching Origami leave, Shido finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He stretched out a big yawn, his bones seeming to crack softly, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Ah—today was really...exhausting..."

From a cooking competition to being "kidnapped" by Chinatsu, then being "interrogated" by Origami, and finally the eerie atmosphere surrounding the Chiin siblings...

This series of events had pushed his brain to its limits. All he wanted to do was get home and collapse onto his familiar bed.

However, just as he lowered his guard and prepared to leave—

A swift blue figure darted out of the stairwell like a cheetah!

"Wait, wait a minute! Itsuka-kun!"

Shido felt a sudden tightening of his collar, followed by a tremendous force that pulled him backward uncontrollably. In a dizzying moment, his back slammed against the cold stairwell wall with a loud thud!

"Whoa?!" Shido's exclamation was choked in his throat.

Immediately afterwards, Chinatsu slammed one hand against the wall next to Shido's ear, forming a standard wall-slamming pose.

She tilted her head slightly, her long, icy blue hair hanging messily beside her cheeks, and her excessively delicate face was filled with extremely complex emotions.

There was obvious shame and annoyance, an unspeakable embarrassment, and a hint of resolute helplessness.

What makes one's heart race the most is that, despite making such a powerful and imposing gesture, two distinct blushes appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes darted around, unable to meet Shido's shocked gaze directly.

(…?!) Shido’s brain instantly went blank.

Meanwhile, Chinatsu began her awkward and embarrassed, yet forced and arrogant, invitation...

She forcefully turned her head to one side, as if to escape her predicament, and stammered, her voice trembling with forced composure:

"You...you just said...we should get to know each other?!"

"Since you've put it that way... then... then this young lady will reluctantly agree!"

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, to squeeze out the rest of her words. Her voice grew softer and softer, yet it carried a textbook air of smugness:

"Tomorrow! Make time for me! I...I promise to go out with you...to get to know each other!"

"P-Please don't misunderstand!" She turned around abruptly, glaring at Shido with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, though her gaze was rendered powerless by the moisture in her eyes.

"It's not that I wanted to go on a date with you! It's just... it's just that I happened to be free! And you were the one who suggested getting to know me first! Do you understand?! You idiot!"

After saying this, Chika felt her face was so hot she could fry an egg on it.

She quickly withdrew her hand from the wall, jumped back a step like a startled rabbit, crossed her arms over her chest, and turned her head away again, leaving Shido with only a blushing profile and slightly trembling shoulders.

God knows how much courage it took for her to say those words, and how strong her curse against Ahaha was.

Shido was completely stunned, leaning against the wall, his brain unable to process the overly disjointed information.

(Didn't you just say it was impossible? How come you suddenly...? This change of attitude is too fast! And that classic tsundere line...)

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was clearly ashamed but was trying to maintain a haughty posture, his heart started racing uncontrollably, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Downstairs, Origami, who hadn't gone far, heard the commotion and silently returned. Standing at the top of the stairs, she watched the scene expressionlessly, her pale blue eyes holding an unfathomable light.

In her mind, Chika had already chopped Ah-ha's mother into a thousand pieces:

(Aha, you just wait! After this is all over, I'm going to use my Law of Reason to create a black hole and stuff you inside!!!)

Chapter 65: The Horn of the Reverse Strategy

When Shido was "wall-pinned" by Chinatsu and received a sudden "date" invitation, the Fraxinus bridge had just recovered from the previous signal interference.

On the main screen, the dramatic scene in the hallway was clearly captured.

"Target Chinatsu initiated physical contact! Her posture was aggressive... no, it's closer to... the 'wall slam' defined in youth culture!" Shiizaki reported quickly, his tone tinged with surprise.

"Shido's heart rate has spiked again! His cortisol levels are elevated, indicating that he is in a state of high stress and confusion!" the physiological monitor immediately added.

"The target, Chika, has a significantly elevated facial temperature, exhibiting typical physiological characteristics of 'shyness and annoyance,' but her eyes are unfocused, and there is a contradiction between her words and body language, which is consistent with the preliminary judgment of the 'tsundere' behavior model!" Kanemoto analyzed, pushing up his glasses.

Kotori watched as Chinatsu on the screen looked "ashamed and indignant" yet forced to hold on, and Shido's completely bewildered expression, while chewing her lollipop hard.

[Emergency options generated! How will Shido respond to the sudden "date" invitation?]

Option 1: Agree immediately, "Okay, sure! What time tomorrow? Where to meet?" (Show a positive attitude)

[Option 2: A tactful confirmation: "Eh? Tomorrow? Phoenix Institute student, are you serious?" (Expressing surprise, giving the other person room to change their mind)]

[Option 3: (Provided by Kaminarizuki) "Oh! Is this a confession of love?! I do! I'm willing to follow you through thick and thin, even if it's the grave of love (marriage)!" (Hand-censored by Kotori)]

"Delete option three!" Kotori ordered with a dark face. "Option one is too hasty and might seem frivolous. Option two is better; it expresses willingness without putting too much pressure on the other party, which aligns with Shido's consistent character. Everyone, vote!" Option two passed with a high number of votes.

[Shido, choose option two, and speak with a tone of surprise and a hint of uncertainty!] Kotori's instructions immediately reached Shido's ears.

Then, the bridge crew heard Shido's slightly stuttering response: "Eh? Tomorrow? Phoenix Inu... are you serious?" Kotori thought this reaction was perfect.

Then, they saw Chinatsu, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, throw down a sentence: "Stop talking nonsense! Meet at the station at nine o'clock tomorrow morning! If you're late, I'll kill you!" and then she rushed back to the apartment building without looking back, almost with her hands and feet moving in unison.

With Chinatsu's departure and Shido's bewildered journey home, the tense atmosphere on the bridge eased slightly, and the analysis phase began.

"Reine, do you have any clues about that strange interference and that mask just now?" Kotori looked at the analyst with a serious expression.

Murasame Reine shook her head slightly, her dark circles appearing even deeper under the screen light: "...Unable to analyze. The energy form exceeds all known databases. That mask... carries a strong sense of 'will,' not simply an energy phenomenon. Its purpose is unclear, but it seems... not to be directly malicious, but more like a kind of... 'observation' or 'teasing.'"

She paused, then said, "...We need to be highly vigilant."

“That ‘Chiin’ who appeared is also extremely suspicious!” Ganben pulled up the data. “His behavior pattern is seriously inconsistent with the ‘serious injury and recuperation’ information, and his suggestion to match Shido-sama with Chika is very abrupt, as if… he is actively pushing the plot forward.”

"To advance the plot?" Kotori chewed on the word, her eyes sharp. "Could it be that there's really something wrong with Chiin? Or is there some 'thing' in that apartment building that's not content with just being a background character?"

She looked at the frozen image on the main screen of Shido leaving the apartment building and muttered to herself before issuing an order:

"Record all abnormal data and prioritize it to the highest level. Also, do everything you can to analyze the reason for Phoenix Inu Chinatsu's sudden change in attitude. We must be fully prepared for tomorrow's 'date'!"

Itsuko House, Late at Night

Shido dragged his tired and confused body home, where he was greeted by Kotori, who was already waiting in the living room, dressed in white ribbon (sister mode), and a cup of hot milk.

"I'm back..." Shido greeted weakly and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Welcome back, brother~ Today was a really 'fulfilling' day!" Kotori blinked her big eyes and teased him as she pushed the hot milk in front of him.

"Alright, let's have a strategy meeting! About tomorrow's 'date'~"

Shido sighed and recounted in detail what had happened that day, from being pulled away by Chinatsu, to meeting Origami, to the strange sales pitch from "Chiin," and finally, Chinatsu's sudden invitation to a wall slam.

He specifically mentioned the strange signal interference and the "colored contact lenses" that flashed in "Chiin's" eyes, but he still thought it was just a case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Kotori listened attentively without interrupting. She didn't speak until Shido finished, "First of all, brother, Senin's condition seems better than we thought, which is good news. But,"

She changed the subject, "He, Chika, and that apartment are all shrouded in mystery. Especially Chika's sudden change in attitude at the end, it was too abrupt."

“I think so too…” Shido scratched his head, “She was so adamant about saying ‘impossible’ before, how come she suddenly… and the way she looked, she seemed angry, but also shy…”

“That’s the key!” Kotori held up a finger. “Based on Fraxinus’s preliminary analysis, her behavior is very likely ‘tsundere’!”

"Yes! She's the type who appears cold and arrogant on the surface, but is actually very shy and cares a lot inside! Her previous rejection might have been a subconscious defense, or perhaps her 'cute' side hadn't been shown yet."

"And your later comment, 'We need to get to know each other,' may have touched her, giving her a seemingly reasonable excuse ('You were the one who suggested getting to know each other first!') to cover up her true feelings (that she also wanted to go on a date with you), which is why she made that awkward and annoyed invitation!"

Kotori's analysis was so logical and clear that Shido listened, completely bewildered. (So...that's how it is?)

Looking at his sister's confident, all-knowing demeanor, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but blurt it out, tinged with curiosity:

"Um... Kotori... why are you so clear about the inner thoughts of 'tsundere'? Could it be... that you actually are too..."

Chapter 66 Textbook-Level Arrogance and Dating Preparation

Before he could finish speaking, Kotori bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!"

Her fair cheeks flushed crimson at a visible speed, spreading all the way to her ears.

She abruptly jumped away from Shido, clutching her thin chest tightly, and forcefully turned her head away, leaving Shido with only a puffed-up profile and slightly trembling twin tails. Her voice rose with embarrassment and anger:

"Who, who's the tsundere! You idiot brother! This is called...this is called objective analysis! It's a conclusion drawn from Fraxinus's big data! It has absolutely nothing to do with me personally! Stop making wild guesses!!"

Seeing her classic "hit-and-run" reaction, Shido blinked, a knowing smile spreading across his face, and deliberately drawled out his words:

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Of course, that's how it is!" Kotori insisted, but her bright red ears completely betrayed her.

To cover her embarrassment, she grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Shido.

"Stop asking questions! Get back to preparing for tomorrow's date! If you mess this up, you'll regret it!"

Shido caught the pillow with a smile, finding it extremely amusing to watch his sister's rare flustered and embarrassed state, and temporarily put aside his previous tension and confusion.
