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

Just as Shido was about to push open the glass door of the dessert shop with the bell hanging on it, he suddenly realized a serious problem.

—Tohka's ridiculously gorgeous spirit outfit is just too eye-catching!

Walking in like that would definitely make you the center of attention, and might even cause unnecessary trouble.

"Wait, wait a minute, Tohka!"

Shido quickly stopped the girl who was about to rush inside, and somewhat awkwardly pointed to her clothes.

"Um... your outfit might be a bit... too unique here. Could you... change into something more ordinary? Like what other girls on the street wear?"

Tohka looked down at her amethyst-like gown, then looked up at the everyday clothes of the passersby reflected in the glass window, a look of realization dawning on her face:

"Oh! Shido thinks this is inappropriate? It's very simple!"

Before she finished speaking, an extremely faint, almost invisible spiritual light emanated from her body.

The next second, the gorgeous spirit dress was erased as if by an eraser, quickly changing and recombining into a dark blue-toned outfit paired with a light-colored shirt and a red bow tie—the school uniform for girls at Lai Chan High School!

Shido's eyes widened. Although he knew that spirits could change their spirit outfits, he still found it very amazing to see such an instant change of outfit.

Moreover, wearing a school uniform, Tohka loses some of her sacred and unapproachable distance and gains more of the freshness and vitality of a young girl, as if she should be a member of this ordinary world.

"Is this okay?" Tohka tugged at her skirt and asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, that's perfect! It suits you perfectly!"

Shido nodded quickly, secretly relieved. At least this way, his clothing wouldn't cause a commotion.

He pushed open the shop door again, and the crisp doorbell rang. With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, Shido and Tohka, dressed in school uniforms and looking on with curiosity, walked into the sweet-smelling dessert shop.

Almost the instant they entered, Kotori, who was sitting by the window, secretly watched them.

Her gaze first swept sharply over Tohka, her pupils contracting slightly, but then she revealed an expression of extreme confusion.

(This girl... looks exactly like the [Princess]! But... this school uniform... and, there's absolutely no spirit wave reaction detected?!)

She immediately whispered through her miniature communicator, "Fraxinus! Suspected individual of the [Princess] detected, located at the dessert shop, wearing a school uniform! Any spacequake alarms or psychic wave responses?"

[This is Fraxinus. No spacequake alarm confirmed. Remote scan of target individual... Scan complete. No spirit energy fluctuations detected. Repeat, no spirit energy fluctuations detected.]

"What?!" Kotori was completely stunned. No spirit wave? This meant that the girl in front of her, who looked exactly like the elf princess, was theoretically... an ordinary human?

She watched as Shido, looking slightly nervous, led "Tohka" to an empty seat. "Tohka" looked around curiously, showing great interest in the store's decorations, menu, and even the desserts on other customers' tables. Her expression was completely genuine.

Kotori rubbed her forehead, feeling her brain overload, and muttered to herself, "If that's really the case... then it means my brother is out playing with an ordinary girl who looks exactly like an elf~"

She compared the two scenarios, "the spirit silently appears" and "Shido woos a beautiful girl," and her lips twitched as she drew her conclusion.

"Compared to the scenario where the elf silently appears, if we had to choose which is less realistic... the former wins by a narrow margin."

(What Kotori meant was that she felt it was even less realistic for Shido to be able to date such a beautiful ordinary girl on his own than for a spirit to silently manifest in the world.)

Just as Kotori was caught up in her confused reasoning, the back door of the dessert shop was quietly pushed open a crack, and two furtive heads peeked in.

It was Qian Yuan and Hong Ren!

Once they confirmed that Shido and Tohka were seated and their attention was completely focused on each other and the menu, the two acted like two well-trained ninjas.

Crouching low, he slipped into the store with lightning speed, precisely finding a corner booth where he could observe Shido's table while being partially obscured by decorations, and quickly sat down.

"Hehe, infiltration successful!"

Hongren lowered his voice and excitedly made a victory sign.

"Shhh-keep it down!"

Chiin gestured for him to be quiet, then picked up a menu from the table and covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a "watching the show" light.

She stared intently at Shido, who was struggling to decide what to order, and Tohka, who looked innocent and seemed to have questions about everything.

Inside the dessert shop, at this moment, the following people have gathered:

1. Shido and Tohka are on their first date, which is full of surprises.

2. The younger sister, a commander and analyst, is caught in cognitive confusion and secretly observes.

3. And two wingmen (bad friends) lurking in the corner, ready to provide "fatherly love" support (mockery) at any time.

Chapter 145 Soybean Flour Bread vs. Ice Cream

Holding the illustrated menu, Shido diligently explained the dazzling array of desserts to Tohka:

"This is a strawberry parfait, topped with ice cream and cream, and served with fruit and cereal at the bottom..."

"This is a chocolate waffle, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and served with a scoop of ice cream..."

"This is mango mousse, it has a very smooth and creamy texture..." "This is..."

As Shido's fingers moved across the menu, Tohka's amethyst-like eyes gradually lost their initial anticipation and became filled with confusion.

Too many unfamiliar terms and too many pictures that looked delicious made her little head spin, and she couldn't make a choice at all.

She tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowed, and made meaningless, confused "hmm..." sounds.

Just as Shido was racking his brains to figure out how to simplify the explanation, Tohka's ears twitched slightly.

Her extraordinary hearing picked up the clearly audible argument coming from a corner booth, though it was being deliberately lowered.

That was Senin and Tonomachi Hiroto.

With an air of confidence, Qianyuan lowered his voice and whispered to Hongren beside him, "See! I told you! I bet you, this noble lady, though she looks innocent, definitely loves the purest and simplest delicacies! I bet five cents she'll order the soybean flour bread!"

Hiroto, however, vehemently objected, lowering his voice as well: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Chiin, what kind of straight-male aesthetic is this! How could such an elegant and princess-like lady order that kind of common bread? She definitely prefers equally noble, exquisite, and beautiful ice cream desserts! Parfait! It has to be a parfait!"

"Soybean flour bread! Simplicity is classic!"

"Ice cream parfait! Beauty is everything!"

The two whispered words reached Tohka's ears like background noise.

Although she didn't quite understand what "straight men's aesthetics" or "beauty is justice" meant, the two options, "soybean flour bread" and "ice cream," were clearly imprinted in her mind.

(Soybean flour bread...? Ice cream...?)

(The two of them... seem to be arguing about this?)

(Which one tastes better?)

Tohka's confusion seemed to have found a breakthrough. She stopped looking at the complex images, raised her head, and looked at Shido with her now clear eyes, directly stating the option she had overheard that seemed to have sparked the argument between the two:

"Shido, I want soybean flour bread and ice cream!"

Her tone carried a simple and certainty that said, "That way we won't have to argue."

Shido was taken aback. He hadn't expected Tohka to suddenly point out these two items so clearly, and the combination was so...unique? Soybean flour bread with ice cream?

"Um... are you sure you want both of these? They... are not usually eaten together."

"Yes! I'll take these two!"

Tohka nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute, as if she were defending some important decision.

A corner booth.

Chiin was overjoyed inside, but outwardly she pretended to be calm: "See! What did I tell you! Soybean flour bread! She ordered it! I won!"

Hiroto protested, unconvinced: "But she also ordered ice cream! My option was also there! It's a tie at best!"

Chiin: "Hmph, the main course is soybean flour bread! Ice cream is just a side dish! It's still my victory!"

Hongren: "That's just sophistry!"

The two once again engaged in a low-intensity "fight" and argument over "winning or losing".

Seeing Tohka's unwavering expression, Shido could only helplessly say to the approaching waiter:

"Um... could I have a soybean flour bread roll, and... a scoop of vanilla ice cream? Thank you."

He had no idea that Tohka's seemingly casual order was actually the result of a clash of beliefs between two "wingmen," as well as her own simple idea of ​​trying to "settle the dispute."

The first step of this date—ordering food—was completed in this wonderful atmosphere.

Chapter 146 The Trap of Luck

Just as Shido was still feeling a little conflicted about Tohka's unique combination of "soybean flour bread with ice cream," a light footstep accompanied by the crisp sound of bells approached from afar.

"Sorry to keep you waiting~ Here's your order of soybean flour bread and vanilla ice cream~"

A sweet-sounding, somewhat familiar female voice rang out.

Shido subconsciously looked up, and instantly froze in his seat.

A petite "maid" was standing beside their table, carrying a tray.

She wore her signature black twin ponytails, but this time, instead of ribbons, she wore white maid headdresses.

She was dressed in a classic black and white maid outfit, with a meticulously trimmed lace apron and seductive black stockings underneath, and small black leather shoes on her feet.

This...this is clearly his sister, Kotori Itsuka!!

"A zither...?!"

Shido almost cried out, but Kotori's seemingly sweet but actually murderous gaze, as if saying "If you dare to shout, I'll kill you," forced him to swallow his words back.

It could only utter a meaningless syllable, its expression contorted as if it had eaten a sour lemon.

Kotori, however, seemed not to recognize him at all. With a professional and impeccable sweet smile on her face, she gently placed the soybean flour bread and the scoop of vanilla ice cream in a delicate little bowl in front of Tohka.

"Please use it slowly~"

She bowed slightly to Tohka, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she clasped her hands together and said in a surprised and adorable tone:

"Oh! By the way! Congratulations to you both! Through our system's random selection, you two happen to be our store's ten-thousandth customer since its opening! How incredibly lucky!"

As if by magic, she pulled a beautifully crafted "free meal ticket" from her apron pocket, complete with a bow, and handed it to Shido with both hands.

"This is a special gift for our lucky customers! With this voucher, you can dine for free at a participating restaurant in the adjacent shopping street~ Perfect for a date! Please accept it and enjoy your time here!"

Kotori's smile was so bright it almost blinded Shido, but the message conveyed in her eyes was crystal clear:

"Take the coupon, take her to the shopping street, and continue your date! That's an order!"

Shido took the free coupon, which felt like a hot potato, his lips twitching, his mind a complete mess.

The ten-thousandth customer? What a coincidence! It must be Fraxinus's doing! Kotori, what's with this outfit?!

Tohka's attention was first drawn to the sweet aroma of the soybean flour bread and ice cream in front of her, and then she became interested in Kotori's words and the pretty free coupon.

"Lucky? Free?"

Tohka blinked her purple eyes, glanced at Shido's stiff expression, and then at the sweet-smiling "maid" Kotori. Although she didn't quite understand the specific rules, she understood the words "free" and "suitable for a date".

A happy smile immediately appeared on her face, and she nodded to Kotori: "Yes! Thank you!"

"You're welcome! I hope you both enjoy your meal and have a great date!"

Kotori bowed again, leaving behind a meaningful smile, and turned to leave with light, maid-like steps, her black and white twin tails drawing playful arcs in the air.

Shido looked at the "lucky ticket" in his hand, then at Tohka who was enthusiastically studying how to eat soybean flour bread, and felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.

...Kotori definitely planned this all along!

From the corner booth, Chiin and Hiroto witnessed the entire scene.

Hiroto stared in disbelief at the passing maid: "Wow... is the service at this shop... really that good? And there are even lucky maids giving out coupons?"

Chiin knew perfectly well what was going on, but remained outwardly calm: "Hmm...yes, how 'lucky'."

Commander Kotori, you've really gone to great lengths for your brother's love life... even going all out with a maid outfit!

Fraxinus's operation intervened forcefully in this originally unexpected date in an unpredictable way.

Chapter 147 The Power of Soybean Flour and the Maid's Expulsion

Tohka carefully scooped up a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and put it in her mouth.

The cool, silky texture and rich milky aroma melted instantly in her mouth, making her eyes light up. "Mmm! So sweet! Delicious!"

But when she followed Shido's advice and broke off a piece of soft soybean flour bread and put it in her mouth, a real storm of flavors descended.

The unique rich aroma of soybean flour, mixed with the sweetness of wheat flour and just the right amount of oiliness, creates a simple yet incredibly delicious flavor that instantly captivated her taste buds.
