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

She raised her hand, her fingertips seemingly wreathed in invisible lightning and ripples in space, her voice carrying a guiding, impassioned tone:

"Join us, 'Anti-Entropy'! Fight alongside us to overthrow this unjust order and fight for the right to survival and freedom that all elves deserve! Our goal is to create a paradise for elves, a place where they are no longer hunted down!"

"Let us tell the world that they may be able to take our lives, but they can never take away our dignity... and our freedom!"

She also felt that although her speech was a bit juvenile, her momentum and core ideas were in place, enough to startle Kotori and the others on Fraxinus.

It's unbelievable that Chika shouted with even more passion than the original author.

Now it all depends on whether Tohka agrees or not.

However, Chinatsu clearly underestimated Tohka's "purity".

Tohka tilted her head, her amethyst eyes filled with great confusion. She blinked, seemingly trying to process Chika's long string of "righteous" words, but clearly failed.

For her, concepts such as "overthrowing tyranny" and "fighting for rights" were too abstract and complex.

With Shido, the "understanding one" who had just tried to give her a name, and Chinatsu, the confirmed "kindred spirit" and "source of the pleasant scent," Tohka very simply... gave up thinking.

She skipped all the complicated parts and went straight to the core issue that concerned her most, which was also the simplest. Looking at Qianxia with her incredibly clear eyes, her tone was innocent yet tinged with expectation:

"So... after joining 'Anti-Entropy,' can I stay with you and Shido forever?"

Shidou: "???"

(Wait, wait! Isn't this topic jumping a bit too far?! How did it suddenly jump to "always being together"?! And why am I even mentioned?!)

Chika (inner monologue): "..." (I...I...) (A mouthful of blood choked in her throat)

(Silly girl! I'm talking to you about revolutionary ideals, and you're talking to me about living together as a group?! How did you even connect these thoughts?!)

Looking into Tohka's expectant eyes, which were completely genuine and so pure they were almost suffocating, Chinatsu felt that her carefully prepared grand narrative and cold persona had been utterly shattered at that moment.

She was both amused and exasperated, her lips twitching slightly, and could only awkwardly try to correct him:

"This... the goal of 'anti-entropy' is a grander undertaking, and the personal desire to 'be together' is probably... not the primary purpose of our organization..."

Tohka shook her head resolutely, not giving Chika a chance to finish speaking.

As if afraid the two of them would run away, she suddenly reached out and hugged Qianxia's arm tightly, pressing half of her body against it.

Then, she reached out her other hand and precisely grabbed Shido's arm, who was still in a daze, and pulled him closer.

And so, Tohka, with her left arm tightly holding Chinatsu and her right arm firmly wrapped around Shido, sandwiched herself between them, a radiant smile of pure satisfaction spreading across her face as she loudly announced:

"I want to be with you all! We absolutely have to be together!"

That posture was just like a child who had finally found his long-lost "parents" and refused to be separated from them again.

On the left is "a mother who looks a bit fierce but smells nice and seems helpless," and on the right is "a father who is a bit clumsy but willing to name himself."

Chika: "!!!" (Inner turmoil: Who's your mother?! And what's with this weird sense of déjà vu?!)

Shido: "!!!" (His whole body stiffens: W-What's going on?! Have I been forcibly bound?!)

With Tohka flanking her like a human pendant, Chinatsu's gorgeous Herrscher attire and deliberately maintained aloof aura appeared utterly pale and comical in the face of Tohka's overly simple, unadorned, and clingy "wish."

She could even feel the same bewildered stiffness emanating from Shido beside her.

(What a blunder! A huge blunder! Why did I even bother to cause trouble?! Wouldn't it have been better to just stay in the shelter?!)

Chika shed tears of regret as her "anti-entropy" and "shido correction" plans were thwarted by Tohka's powerful "naiveté."

Before it even officially started, it had already declared bankruptcy and was hurtling headlong down an extremely bizarre path.

Chika felt the irresistible force from Tohka on her arm, and seeing the happy expression on Tohka's face that said "the three of us will be together forever," she felt a huge sense of powerlessness and déjà vu.

Could it be... that this is what Kevin felt back then?

An absurd idea popped into her mind.

She tried every possible means and exhausted all her energy to try and bring back even just one Herrscher willing to fight for humanity to Alicia in the afterlife, so that she would know that her sacrifice was not in vain and that she had left a spark of hope for future generations...

And what happened? The Herrscher of Reason core was given to Welt Yang and Duck, who did fight for humanity, but their ideals clashed with Kevin's.

Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, flipped the table; Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, was indeed moved (just kidding), but her true motivation was Kiana...

After all the twists and turns, didn't Kevin ultimately seize on Mei's weakness of caring about Kiana, thus indirectly "luring" the power of the Herrscher of Thunder back to his own home through Kiana?

So after all that, they thought they could just use lofty ideals and revolutionary slogans to fool people... uh, recruiting naive Herrschers/Elves is a dead end, right? In the end, they'll have to rely on bonds and "weaknesses"?!

Looking at Shido and herself, who were forcibly "bound" by Tohka on either side of her, Chinatsu was utterly speechless and questioned the heavens.

Her "anti-entropy recruitment" plan was completely bankrupted in the face of Tohka's simple and straightforward "together" logic.

Not only did they fail to seduce Tohka, but they also inexplicably formed a bizarre "three-person group," or rather, a "family of three" that Tohka unilaterally identified as.

This development is even more bizarre than Fraxinus's strategy!

Chapter 134 Choices Amidst a Rain of Bullets

"What...what happened?"

"Tohka. That's my name. Isn't it nice?"

"Yes...yes..."

Shido felt his cheeks burning. Being asked to call his name so directly by Tohka, and being looked at by her with such pure and expectant eyes, made him feel embarrassed in every way.

He subconsciously looked away and scratched his cheek.

But Tohka was clearly not satisfied with that, and she called out again in a clear voice, "Shido!"

The intention couldn't be clearer. Shido took a deep breath, overcoming the pounding in his heart, and softly replied, "Toh...Tohka..."

Hearing her name called by Shido himself, Tohka's face instantly blossomed into an incredibly satisfied and radiant smile, her lips curving upwards and her amethyst-like eyes forming beautiful crescent moons.

Shido's heart skipped a beat. He realized that this was probably the first time he had ever truly seen Tohka's genuine, untroubled smile.

That smile was like sunlight piercing through the dark clouds, pure and dazzling, causing him to lose his composure for a moment.

However, this brief moment of warmth was abruptly interrupted by a sudden, violent explosion and a violent tremor!

boom--! ! !

The entire school building was shaking, and dust was falling in clumps.

"W-What...what happened...?" Shido staggered and hurriedly grabbed the blackboard next to him to steady himself.

"Shido, get down on the floor!" Kotori's voice came through the right earpiece with an unprecedented urgency.

"what……?"

[Don't worry about that now, hurry up!]

Although he didn't understand why, Shido instinctively trusted Kotori's instructions and immediately lay down on the ground as instructed.

Almost at the same moment he lay down—

Crackling sounds echoing through the air!

A barrage of gunfire erupted! All the classroom windows shattered simultaneously!

Countless shards of glass and attacks resembling live or energy beams poured into the room like a storm!

Just when Shido thought he and Tohka were about to be riddled with bullets, Chinatsu, who was standing to the side, merely frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

She didn't even make a big movement, she just raised her finger slightly.

The next moment, a strange scene unfolded. The glass shards and bullets that had been hurtling towards the classroom seemed to have struck an invisible and extremely sticky wall after entering a certain range. Their speed decreased drastically, and they were completely frozen in mid-air, like insects trapped in amber! The bullets and glass shards, having lost all kinetic energy, then clattered and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

What...what is this?!

Shido stared in disbelief at this unimaginable scene.

[It seems to be an attack from outside. And Chika used her power, seemingly freezing space.] Kotori's voice came again, carrying a calm after-analysis.

[The other side probably wants to force the elves to show themselves—ah, but it's also possible they plan to destroy the school buildings, leaving the elves without a place to shelter.]

"What...! How could you do something so reckless..."

"There's a Wizard Disaster Reconstruction Force on standby outside. They can repair all the damage soon, so even if there's damage once or twice, it shouldn't matter—that being said, the situation is still beyond my expectations. They've actually adopted a strategy of forceful attack." Kotori's tone also carried a hint of seriousness.

Shido subconsciously raised his head and looked at Tohka.

The smile that had been on Tohka's face when they were interacting earlier was gone. She bit her lower lip tightly, her gaze fixed on the direction outside the window where the AST unit might be. Her purple eyes were filled with pain, anger, and a hint of... sadness that was barely perceptible.

Although all the attacks were easily blocked by Chika, without even a gust of wind touching her, the expression on her face was as if she had personally endured all the malice.

Chika sighed softly as she looked at Tohka's appearance. She walked to Tohka's side, reached out, and gently patted Tohka's head, as if comforting a wronged child.

"—Tohka!" Shido unconsciously called her name again.

Tohka snapped back to reality, her gaze shifting from the window to Shido. The gunfire outside was still intense, but the concentrated attack on the classroom seemed to have temporarily subsided.

Shido stood up while keeping a watchful eye on the commotion outside.

He saw Tohka lower her eyes sadly and say in a trembling voice:

"Run, Shido. If you stay with me, you'll be killed sooner or later."

………………

Shido remained silent, swallowing hard. Kotori was right; they had to leave as soon as possible. This place was too dangerous.

But—looking at Tohka's forced composure yet barely concealed vulnerability, he simply couldn't bring himself to run away.

You now have two choices: run away or stay?

The sound of Qinli, tinged with a hint of teasing yet utterly earnest, reached my ears.

Shido struggled internally, hesitating. He glanced at Chika, who was expressionless beside him, and a determination flashed through his mind that he "could not fail again."

Finally, he lowered his voice and said, as if making a vow to himself:

"...We've come to this point, how can we run away..."

"What an idiot," came Kotori's comment.

"...whatever you say."

【I'm praising you—here's some good advice. If you don't want to die, try to stay as close to the elves as possible.】

Shido pressed his lips together into a firm line, as if he had made up his mind.

Then, he did something that Tohka and Chinatsu didn't expect—he sat down right next to Tohka's feet, as if to say, "I'm not leaving."

"Huh—?" Tohka's eyes widened in surprise, completely unable to understand Shido's actions. "What are you doing? Hurry up—"

"I don't care about any of that...!"

Shido interrupted her, his tone carrying a reckless stubbornness.

"Now is the time for you and me to talk. Don't worry about such trivial matters—you want to obtain information about this world, right? As long as I know it, I will tell you."

Tohka's expression turned to surprise for a moment, her purple eyes flashing with a complex light, a mixture of confusion and bewilderment, but also a hint of warmth as if she had been touched.

Looking into Shido's persistent yet sincere eyes, she hesitated for a moment before finally sitting down directly opposite him.

Meanwhile, Chika, standing to the side, looked helplessly at the two guys sitting on the ground, as if they were about to have a tea party amidst a hail of bullets.

She shook her head, a subtle, complex emotion flashing in her golden eyes, but ultimately said nothing.

It silently maintains the spatial barrier around itself, isolating all external dangers and providing temporary peace for this small world amidst the chaos.

Chapter 135 Origami's Determination

At the temporary assembly area off-campus, Origami Tobiichi skillfully checked the performance parameters of the AST standard CR-Unit she was wearing.

The white "Mordred" test unit has been returned to DEM Corporation, and she is now wearing the familiar, slightly bulky black basic equipment.

The engine's hum wasn't as smooth as the test machine's, and the generation efficiency of random fields was a level lower, but for her, it was enough to perform the current task.

"Origami! How's the situation?" Captain Ryoko piloted the same model of CR-Unit and landed beside her.

Origami's gaze, peering through the visor of the display device, was fixed on the half-ruined school building ahead, her voice cold and unwavering:

"Three rounds of sustained suppressive fire have been conducted, but the target Pokémon has not shown any signs of appearing."

The heavy six-barreled Gatling gun in her hand was emitting the smell of gunpowder, and the barrel was slightly hot from the high-speed rotation of the gun.

This is not an anti-elves weapon equipped with a display device; it is merely an ordinary gunpowder kinetic energy weapon. Its power is insufficient to pose a fatal threat to elves, but it is more than enough to destroy building structures and force targets to leave their cover.

"Tsk, they've really kept their composure while hiding."
