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

Chinatsu, on the other hand, had a completely unapproachable demeanor.

She crossed her arms, her long, icy blue hair swaying slightly with her slightly forceful steps. She deliberately walked a few steps ahead, as if she didn't want to get involved with the two people behind her.

From Shido and Origami's perspective, all they could see was her graceful back and her slightly tense shoulders, which seemed to be due to displeasure.

(Seriously... What is this? In a group of three, one of them has to be the third wheel? And it seems like I'm the third wheel?)

Chika was indeed a little annoyed, mainly because she was unhappy about the situation where her rhythm had been unexpectedly disrupted.

(I was originally planning to just go through the motions, but now that origami is involved, my plans are all messed up...)

Looking at the couples and families around her, laughing and chatting happily, and then comparing it to the strange atmosphere on her side, a strange sense of frustration welled up inside her.

(Why should I suffer like this here? Playing on these childish amusement park rides with a blockhead and a stalker?)

However, just as this resentment was about to reach its peak, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning—

(Wait... what am I even worrying about?)

(I wasn't really here for a date! My main mission was to "spend the time on the date" and avoid Aha's punishment!)

(As for how it went, whether Origami interfered, and what Shido was thinking... what do I care?!)

(With origami around, that's perfect! I don't have to bother with those cheesy interactions, or deliberately create any "wonderful memories," and... I can even focus on myself!)

My mind opened up instantly, like the sun breaking through the clouds!

(Yeah! Since we're already here, why make things difficult for ourselves? This amusement park looks pretty good, and there are a lot of rides I haven't tried before... Since we're just killing time anyway, why not take the opportunity to enjoy ourselves?)

Thinking about it this way, she felt the pressure on her body suddenly lighten.

The tense shoulders relaxed unconsciously, and the hands that were crossed in front of the chest naturally fell down.

She even started looking around with great interest, her gaze sweeping over the screaming roller coaster, the dreamy spinning teacups, and the fragrant snack stalls…

The previous displeasure and irritability in her icy blue eyes quickly faded, replaced by a relaxed feeling filled with curiosity and eagerness.

(That looks pretty exciting... Hmm, I might try it later. The chocolate bananas they sell over there look delicious...)

She was so engrossed in her personal plan of how to enjoy the amusement park that she almost forgot there were two people behind her.

The Origami Perspective:

He had been closely monitoring Chika's origami out of the corner of his eye and keenly noticed this series of subtle changes in her.

(Target emotional fluctuations: Initial stage manifests as "displeasure" and "alienation". Current stage: Displeasure significantly decreases, body posture relaxes, and attention shifts to the environment and facilities.)

Origami's brain is analyzing things at lightning speed.

(Is it because she realized she couldn't change the situation, so she chose to accept it? And to avoid further unpleasant interactions with Shido, she deliberately shifted her attention?)

(This behavioral pattern reflects the contradictory psychology of a "proud and aloof" individual who, after becoming jealous, is unwilling to back down and compromise, yet is also unable to truly leave.)

(Her choice to tolerate my presence and keep her distance from Shido is a form of passive self-protection.)

(Conclusion: My intervention effectively reduced the probability of close contact between the target and Shido.)

(Shido's safety level has increased. Maintain the current state and, as the scan nears completion, look for an opportunity to lure the two to the designated area.)

Origami felt that her strategy was very correct, so she felt even more at ease sticking close to Shido.

Meanwhile, the situation on the bridge of the Fraxinus is not good.

In stark contrast to the origami's "satisfaction," the Fraxinus bridge was in an uproar!

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over!" Kotori stomped her feet anxiously as she watched Chinatsu's attitude on the main screen change from "puffed up" to "completely indifferent".

"Did you see that?! She was clearly angry just now, but suddenly she's not angry anymore! She's even starting to have fun on her own!"

“The data shows,” Ganben’s voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"Chika's attention to Shido-sama is steadily decreasing and is currently below the threshold! Meanwhile, her interest in environmental facilities has increased significantly!"

"This...this is a classic case of interest shifting!" Kawagoe exclaimed, looking utterly distressed.

"When women feel disappointed or bored with their dates, they tend to shift their focus to shopping, food, or other self-satisfying activities! This is a precursor to relationship burnout! It's very dangerous!"

"It must be Origami's involvement that made her feel that Shido-sama wasn't firm enough, or that the date experience was terrible!" Shiizaki said sinisterly.

"Should I put a little pressure on her to make her realize the importance of Shido-sama again? Like, stopping the roller coaster in mid-air..."

"No way!" Kotori immediately objected, biting her pearl in frustration.

Now is not the time for underhanded tactics! The problem lies with Shido! He's too passive!

She suddenly leaned closer to the microphone and gave instructions in an anxious tone:

[Shido! Can you hear me?! Emergency! Chinatsu's interest in you is plummeting! She's started playing by herself! This means she's disappointed in you! This can't go on!]

[Immediately! Right now! Launch an offensive! Forget about origami! Take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, invite her to do something she might be interested in! Show your enthusiasm and take the lead! Pull her out of her 'self-satisfied' state! Hurry!]

Shido listened to Kotori's almost roaring commands through his earpiece, and looked at Chinatsu in front of him, who seemed to be immersed in her own world, her back view exuding ease and comfort.

Feeling the undeniable force from the origami on my arm, I felt completely overwhelmed.

(An offensive? How am I supposed to launch an offensive?!)

He was on the verge of tears, but for the sake of the "mission," he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to break this delicate balance.

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and called out to Chika's retreating figure:

"Um! Phoenix Institute! That roller coaster looks really exciting! Shall we... try it together?"

Chapter 84 The Restricted Area on the Roller Coaster

Hearing Shido point to the winding, screaming roller coaster track, Chinatsu snapped out of her reverie about cotton candy and looked up.

(A roller coaster? It sounds... pretty thrilling. I've been too busy playing games and doing research before to really ride one of these...)

She thought about it for a moment and decided that it might be a good idea to try it out. After all, her goal for the day was just to "pass the time," so what difference did it make what she did?

So she nodded and replied in a tone that was still calm but no longer so distant: "Okay."

Shido breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chinatsu had agreed, and was about to go buy tickets when Origami had already walked to the ticket window and efficiently bought three consecutive tickets.

(So ​​efficient...) Chika glanced at Origami, but didn't think much of it.

However, when they reached the entrance to the queue and were about to be assigned seats, Origami did something that surprised Chinatsu.

The roller coaster had two-seater seats, so Origami should have sat with Shido without hesitation. But Origami very naturally walked to the outer side of a two-seater in the front row, then looked at Chinatsu and said in a calm, even tone:

"Phoenix Academy students, let's sit here."

Chika paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her icy blue eyes.

(Why isn't she sitting with Shido? She actually came to find me?)

She glanced at Shido, who looked bewildered and clearly hadn't expected this, and then at Origami, who had already stepped aside to make room for her on the inside.

(...That's it, she definitely wants to keep me and Shido apart to prevent us from having more contact. Hmph, just what I wanted!)

This explanation perfectly convinced Chinatsu. She was even a little smug, feeling that Origami's actions were a godsend, saving her a lot of trouble.

(Great, I'll keep my distance and get through today. As soon as Aha's mission is complete, I'll find a chance to slip away!)

So, Chika obediently (even with a sense of relief that her "scheme had succeeded") sat down in the inner seat next to Origami, and deliberately avoided looking at Shido, as if she didn't care at all who he was sitting with.

Shido looked at the two girls sitting side by side in front of him, opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words.

He silently sat down in the row behind a stranger. He felt like a large, abandoned piece of luggage.

(What is Tobiichi thinking...) Shido sighed inwardly.

The Origami Perspective:

Seeing that Chinatsu was sitting with her so "cooperatively" and showed no intention of communicating with Shido, Origami became even more certain of her plan.

(The target has been confirmed to cooperate with isolation. They are emotionally stable and have not shown resistance or shown any interest in Shido. Maintaining a safe distance from Shido has been successful.)

She even caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that after Chika sat down, she curiously examined the safety bars and the track in front of her, her face filled with pure wonder, completely ignoring Shido in the back seat.

(Very good. Scanning is ongoing. Although there is some interference in the current environment, it is still within acceptable limits.)

Fraxinus Bridge:

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Origami, that guy!!!"

On the bridge of the Fraxinus, Kotori watched the two girls sitting "harmoniously" together on the monitor screen, and Shido, who was left all alone in the back seat.

He was so angry that he almost bit the pearl in his mouth to pieces and suddenly jumped up from the commander's seat.

"She did it on purpose! She deliberately separated Chika and Shido! Now look what happened! Forget about close contact, they didn't even have a chance to talk! This project is completely ruined!"

“The data shows,” Ganben said with regret.

"After the seating arrangements were finalized, Chinatsu's attention to Shido dropped to its lowest point of the day... almost zero. Her interest is now entirely focused on the roller coaster itself."

"I knew this would happen!" Kawagoe exclaimed, pounding his chest in frustration.

"In projects that require shared excitement, physical distance equals emotional distance! Putting your target in a seat with other people, especially female competitors, is like cutting off your own arm! Forget about improving their favorability; you'll be lucky if it doesn't drop!"

"Should I stop the roller coaster at the highest point to create an 'unexpected' opportunity for interaction?" Shiizaki once again proposed her "unexpected" solution.

"It's too deliberate to stage an accident now!" Kotori waved her hand in annoyance, putting her hands on her hips and pacing back and forth in front of the command platform.

"This project is beyond saving! PASS! Give up!"

She abruptly stopped, pointed at the roller coaster on the screen that had begun to slowly ascend, and rapidly issued a new instruction into the microphone:

[Shido! Listen! This project has failed! Don't be discouraged! After the roller coaster ends, immediately! Right now! Find the next opportunity!]

[The goal is a project for two people only! It must be a two-person project, and origami is out of the question!]

[For example... like a small boat for two! Or bumper cars would also count! In short, find a way to create space for you and Chinatsu to be alone!]

[Extend the invitation while she's still excited after getting off the roller coaster! Be firm! Don't let the origami distract you anymore!]

Pulled by gears, the roller coaster slowly climbs to its highest point.

As Shido listened to Kotori's anxious voice through his earpiece and looked at the backs of Chinatsu and Origami standing side by side in front of him, he felt helpless and pressured.

(A project that can be done alone... that's easier said than done...)

He felt like he was undertaking an impossible mission, and the strategies provided by his only teammate (Flaxinas) always seemed to be a step behind reality.

As the roller coaster reaches its peak, after a brief pause, it plunges headlong into a frenzied downward descent!

The feeling of weightlessness instantly captivated everyone!

"Ah—!" Even Chika couldn't help but let out a short gasp under this pure physical stimulation, her hand instinctively gripping the safety lever in front of her.

A strong wind whipped through her long hair, and the surrounding scenery rushed past, a mixture of fear and excitement washing over her senses.

(Wow! This, this feeling...!)

Origami, sitting next to her, remained expressionless, as if she were simply taking an ordinary mode of transportation. Only her slightly narrowed eyes revealed that she too was experiencing the effects of acceleration.

Sitting in the back, Shido was trying to figure out how to invite Chinatsu smoothly while avoiding Origami, the biggest "obstacle," amidst the screams.

The thrill of the roller coaster quickly subsided, and the vehicle slowly returned to the platform. As the safety bar lifted, Chika let out a long sigh of relief, her face still flushed from the exercise and with a hint of lingering enjoyment.

(It was quite fun... I might try it again next time.)

Shido knew that his "battle" had only just begun. He had to seize this brief opportunity to carry out Fraxinus's new orders.

Chapter 85 Sweet Trap and Silent Alarm

After getting off the roller coaster, the three of them sat down to rest on a nearby bench.

Chika casually picked up the chilled drink she had just bought, tilted her head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls. Then, she exhaled a refreshing breath of cool air, unabashedly expressing her delight:

"Ah—! That's awesome!"

Her somewhat boyish and uninhibited actions left Shido, who was standing next to her, somewhat stunned, while Origami frowned slightly, a barely perceptible hint of doubt flashing in her light blue eyes.

(Does this unguarded, even somewhat crude, behavior pattern really fit an elf who needs to hide their identity?)

Just then, Origami's cell phone vibrated.

She took it out and glanced at the screen; the caller ID clearly showed—[Kusakabe Ryoko].

(The captain's phone call? At this time...)

Origami's eyes narrowed slightly. She immediately stood up, said "Excuse me" to Shido and Chinatsu, and then quickly walked towards a relatively quiet corner not far away with her phone.
