Lying in the crowded yet relatively safe shelter, Koushi was enjoying a rare moment of peace.
The anxious whispers of the crowd and the cries of children filled his ears, but his heart was secretly filled with light relief.
(A Spatial Quake warning? It seems Tohka has made her appearance. This is good! According to the original plot, even though Shido is clumsy, dealing with an innocent type like Tohka shouldn't be a problem for him.)
(Finally, a proper Spirit to distract him. I can take the opportunity to have a break and not have to make an appearance. Perfect!)
He thought gleefully, feeling that he could finally be temporarily freed from the troublesome roles of "Fallen White Moonlight" and "Potential Main Heroine."
However, this feeling of ease didn't last long. Uncontrollably, his mind replayed the scene from the corridor where Shido had earnestly repeated outrageous lines like "marriage" and "smelling gym clothes," followed by Origami's unbelievable "I can."
(No! I can't just let this go!)
Koushi abruptly sat upright, his brows tightly furrowed.
(Although Shido in the original work was also tricked by Fraxinus into saying those vulgar lines, he was blushing furiously and was on the verge of exploding from shame!)
(Unlike the current Shido, who, though still repeating the lines, actually had a hint of reckless "determination" in his expression? This is wrong! Very wrong! Ten points! No, nine points of wrongness!)
A strong sense of crisis welled up within him.
(If I let that unreliable bunch from Fraxinus continue this "training," Shido might genuinely be molded into a smooth-talking "cuckold-type" capture machine who says vulgar things without batting an eye! If he uses that state to deal with "Chinatsu"...)
Just imagining the scene sent a shiver down Koushi's spine, raising goosebumps all over him.
(For the sake of my future mental and physical health, and to prevent my pure young man's heart from being defiled, I must go and knock some sense into him! I must nip this dangerous tendency of "using ultimate moves as basic attacks" in the bud!)
But, under what pretext should he appear?
The current persona of "Phoenix-in Chinatsu" is that of a "Spirit who knows the truth of the world, bears a heavy mission, and has resolutely left."
Suddenly running back to tell Shido, "Your flirting method is wrong," wouldn't that be OOC (out of character)? Plus, it would make him look like he cared too much.
(I need a dignified reason... a reason that allows me to legitimately intervene at any scene where a Spirit appears...)
He stroked his chin, his mind racing. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed like lightning!
(I've got it!)
(Didn't I previously use "Welt Yang" to fabricate a tragic history about the Anti-Entropy organization fighting the DEM company?)
(Although this organization currently only has me as its sole Commander, that doesn't stop me from using it as a grand banner!)
Koushi's eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
(I can appear as the "Representative of Anti-Entropy" or the "Successor to Welt's Will"!)
(The goal is to gather the strength of all Spirits to jointly oppose the DEM company and even this twisted world!)
(This way, whenever a new Spirit appears, I have a legitimate reason to show up, make contact, and recruit them! Perfect intervention into the main storyline!)
(Furthermore, this reason is lofty enough, fits the persona of "Chinatsu" knowing the truth and bearing a mission, and it can explain why I pay attention to other Spirits. Perfect!)
The action plan instantly became clear:
Goal: Intervene in the Tohkaincident, make contact and observe under the pretext of "Anti-EntropyRecruitment," and "incidentally" knock some sense into Shido. Power: The The core of reasonis severely damaged and currently unusable. I can only use the heavenly judgment core. I must carefully suppress the Spirit power fluctuations to avoid accidentally wiping out the entire area like last time, which would attract unnecessary attention and panic. Strategy toward Shido: Utilize the inherent "Arrogance of the Void" trait of the heavenly judgment coreto display disdain for "ordinary, weak, and clumsy" males like Shido. State clearly that he is not the type of "high-quality male" appreciated by "Anti-Entropy," or rather, by "Chinatsu." I need to send a clear signal to Fraxinus—training Shidointo this vulgar cuckold-type is ineffective, at least against Spirits like "me"! Force them to adjust their training direction and steer Shido toward a more "normal" and "sincere" path!
(Excellent! Plan successful!)
Koushi snapped his fingers, a sly smile appearing on his face.
(Sorry, little sister Tohka, Sister (Brother?) is going to temporarily make use of your debut. Shido, you also prepare to accept the venomous criticism and "for your own good" correction from your "Former White Moonlight"!)
He hesitated no longer, quietly stood up, avoided the gaze of the crowd, and searched for an empty corner.
His consciousness sank into his body, carefully guiding the heavenly judgment core, which contained the power of space and thunder, while simultaneously struggling to suppress the terrifying energy fluctuations leaking out.
With a faint flash of light, the black and white colored, flowing skirt, dark cross hair ornament, and crimson samurai phantom of the [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher attire covered his body once more.
But unlike the wild abandon of the last time he destroyed a battlefield, this time, all the power was contained within an inch of his body, like a delicate energy cocoon. Only in the depths of his golden eyes did the condescending arrogance (or perhaps inflation) belonging to the Herrscher of the Void circulate.
"Well then~☆"
The [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher, Chinatsu, murmured softly to herself, a cold curve forming on her lips.
"Let the will of 'Anti-Entropy' manifest here. And while I'm at it... I'll teach that little virgin who desperately needs correction a good lesson~☆."
The next moment, her figure melted into the shadows, silently disappearing from the shelter, stealthily moving toward the half-destroyed school building—the area affected by the Spatial Quake, surrounded by the AST, and where a certain young man was diligently trying to "capture" a Spirit.
