Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 653: Chapter 652: Could This Be Conquered?

Although the situation wasn’t as he had anticipated, Shido was relieved nonetheless, so he nodded his head.

”Thank you, I... ”

”Hold on, stupid brother... no, stupid sister!”

But before Shido could finish his sentence, Kotori Gokawa’s voice came through his earpiece.

”Choices are out!”

Accompanying Kotori’s words, there appeared three options on the warship’s screen.

1: ”Hmph, is this the place for a lady like me? Hurry up and wipe it clean for me!” (Use a haughty queenly demeanor to draw the other’s attention)

2: ”Thank you... then I’ll help myself... ” (Use a gentle girl’s demeaner to raise the other’s favorability)

3: ”I, I didn’t originally plan to sit here, but since you’ve invited me wholeheartedly, I suppose I’ll reluctantly sit down. You should thank me! ” (Use a classic tsundere stance to showcase your charm)

”What is all this... Everyone choose, within five seconds!”

Following Kotori’s voice, the members aboard the warship quickly stretched out their hands and pressed the button in front of them.

”One vote for 1 and 3 each, and the rest for 2? Then let’s go with 2! Sister, do your best!”

Are you not at peace until you kill me? Are you really my sister?

Hearing the instructions through his earpiece, Shido couldn’t help but sigh helplessly; then, with a smile, he nodded at Fang Zheng and Yoshino.

”Thank you, then I will go ahead...”

As he spoke, Shido, holding his plate, took the seat that Fang Zheng had offered, while Fang Zheng sat together with Yoshino.

”Stupid sister, didn’t you forget something?”

As Shido sat down, Kotori’s voice once again came through his earpiece. Hearing her reminder, Shido only then remembered... right, the lines! The lines! With this thought, Shido hastily looked up at Fang Zheng.

”Thank you for your help, um... my name is Shido Gokawa... no, I mean Shiki Gokawa... nice to meet you...”

”That idiot...”

Sitting in the warship, Kotori helplessly reached up to cover her face. Who says all this upon first meeting someone?

However, facing Shido Gokawa—oh, no, Shiki Gokawa’s self-introduction, Fang Zheng didn’t seem surprised. He smiled and nodded at Shiki, then responded.

”Hello, Miss Gokawa, my name is Fang Zheng, and this is Yoshino.”

”Ah, hello...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Shiki Gokawa finally relaxed a bit. Remembering the lines Kotori had prepared for him, he hurriedly continued.

”The two of you seem to have a good relationship. What is your relationship?”

”This child could be considered my sister.”

Fang Zheng smiled and patted Yoshino’s head, then answered.

”We are currently traveling around, enjoying the scenery and beauties of foreign lands. Yoshino is introverted and shy, so I must protect her.”

”Ah...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Yoshino blushed, lowered her head, and fumbled with the hem of her clothing without speaking. Witnessing this harmonious scene, Kotori couldn’t help but let out a mournful ”woof,” while Shiki showed an envious expression. Watching the interaction between Fang Zheng and Yoshino, he couldn’t help but remember his own sister. There was a time when his sister was also childlike and clingy.

But now... she had turned into a demon who could coldly make her own brother cross-dress to seduce men...

At that moment, Shido Gokawa deeply felt the disparity between his own sister and the sisters of others.

However, he still suppressed the tiny bit of envy deep in his heart and continued chatting with Fang Zheng.

”So, are you two here for a trip? But Celestial City isn’t really a big city...”

This was also something that puzzled Shido because Celestial City was just an ordinary small town with no nearby attractions, and Fang Zheng shook his head.

”Actually, compared to those scenic tourist spots, smaller places have more charm. Without focusing on commercial development, one can truly appreciate the beauty of the scenery.”

While saying this, Fang Zheng took out his phone and showed Shido some photos he and Yoshino had taken.

”Whoa...”

Looking at these photos before him, Shido couldn’t help but feel impressed. The backdrops in Fang Zheng’s photos were mostly quaint towns with an exotic flair, without the masses of tourists or any landmark landscapes and buildings. Most of the time, it was just endless fields of flowers or rolling hills and cottages.

Since Yoshino was shy, Fang Zheng naturally wouldn’t take her to crowded places. In fact, Fang Zheng himself also disliked visiting popular landmarks or scenic areas crowded with people; after all, with so many people, one wouldn’t know if they were there to see the crowd or the scenery. Instead, the tranquility and leisure of these smaller places were much more pleasing.

Following this, as an opportunity arose, Fang Zheng and Shido started sharing their travel experiences. The interaction between them was very pleasant. At first, Shido was worried about revealing his identity, but after a short time, he was deeply drawn to the tales of foreign places described by Fang Zheng.

Although Fang Zheng’s system was still sealed, his charm was of a ”B++” level. Even if he wasn’t targeting a specific group, when Fang Zheng was earnest, he could captivate people. Shido found the stories Fang Zheng told exceptionally interesting, and unwittingly, the duo found themselves getting along even better.

While this was a positive development, it was somewhat troubling for Kotori Gokawa.

”This is truly a formidable rival...”

Watching Fang Zheng on the screen, Kotori murmured to herself. As a sister, she of course knew her brother’s usable strengths and specialties. Strictly speaking, apart from his ability to Seal Spirits, to Kotori, the only commendable traits Shido had were his cooking and kindness.

But now... in front of Fang Zheng, Kotori found these strengths of her brother utterly useless!

Generally, spirits from the Present Realm lack common sense and fear this world. That’s why Shido was able to woo Shika and the Yamai Sisters before. They each had their own issues; Shika wasn’t accepted by this world, and only one of the Yamai Sisters could survive.

However, the Knight and the Hermit before them were clearly different. From their actions, these two spirits seemed to have no trouble or inconvenience in their lives; they even had the leisure to travel around. Moreover, from their conversation, these two spirits seemed to have more common sense than others... meaning, excluding their formidable powers, these spirits might be even better adapted to this world than regular humans.

Facing such spirits, how was her brother going to woo them?

As Kotori pondered deeply, Fang Zheng, Yoshino, and Shido Gokawa finished the fast food before them. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

”Hey, Kotori, any further instructions?”

While quietly asking Kotori through the earphone about his next move, Shido even felt a bit of regret within. Previously, he would have just wanted to finish the task and leave quickly, but now after chatting with Fang Zheng and Yoshino, Shido suddenly wanted to stay longer and talk more with them...

”Hmm...”

Hearing her brother’s inquiry, Kotori frowned, deeply in thought, then she clapped her hands. That’s it! Since they were traveling, why not have her brother show them around? As a local of Celestial City, he had an advantage in this respect, and perhaps it could also improve the rapport between them!

That’s the plan!

”Ah, Miss Shido.”

But before Kotori could share her thoughts with Shido, Fang Zheng stood up, smiling as he looked at him, then he said,

”I have a small request; I wonder if you could grant it?”

”What is the request?”

”Well... as you see, Yoshino and I are here in Celestial City for the first time and aren’t very familiar with the place; we don’t know many people here. Since Miss Shido and we feel a good connection, if you have time, could you please show us around Celestial City?”

”Huh?”

Hearing this, Kotori was taken aback. Why did this sound so familiar?

Could it be... her brother, no, sister was being wooed?
