🕑 Added 2022-12-16 10:46:57 +0000 UTC
"Hey don't run too fast!"
The voice he let out echoed throughout the building.
The cross-shaped fortress city made of five city blocks, "Crossfield".
In the first district located in the center of such a place, there were two shadows running.
One of the shadows running in front was a cat with tiger stripes and had a small pouch inside its mouth.
The other shadow belonged to a small teenager chasing the cat with all his might.
The sprint started from the third district located to the west of the cross-shaped city.
The teenager had already run a distance that would normally make you wonder if you should pick up the cargo, had run across an entire city, was already at his limit of exhaustion.
Even so, the silver-haired teen with the necklace kept running after the cat to reach his goal.
"Hah... how much longer... how much longer do I have to run..."
The silver-haired teenager was panting with sweat dripping down his face.
Seeing that the cat he was chasing was climbing the wall, he naturally followed with all his might.
"Is this the place?"
After climbing the wall, he saw an area that seemed to have many luxurious buildings.
The cat ran towards one of the rooftops. The silver-haired teenager smiled at this and followed the cat.
On the roof of the building, he didn't chase the cat anymore even though he had originally chased the cat because of someone else's wallet in its mouth.
But he actually had other priorities, staring at the roof of the building beneath his feet, he lightly tapped the roof with his foot.
"This part is fragile... No wonder which original fell when running on this roof."
The silver-haired teen took a breath before jumping up and planting his feet on the roof hard.
*Bang!
The roof under his feet shattered, his body falling off the roof.
"Ahhhhhh!"
He screamed, yet there was a smile on his face as he fell into the building.
White vapor covered the entire scene.
On the other side of the steam, there were marble walls and columns that were visible because they were illuminated by lights.
Water was splashing everywhere, the silver-haired teenager had fallen into a bathroom and was soaking wet.
But there was something strange...
"Huh? Where is she?"
The silver-haired teenager looked around the bathroom in confusion.
Shouldn't the moment he fell into the bathroom, he fell on a certain blonde girl here?
Why was this different?
"And this is a girl's bathroom there should be other girls bathing here too, but I don't see anyone who--"
As he wondered in the girls' bathroom alone while standing in the center of the spacious bathtub.
The bathroom door opened, the silver-haired teenager froze.
Three girls armed with swords stood there.
A low voice was heard from one of the three girls. It was emitted by a blue-haired girl with a dignified face.
The figures and atmospheres of the three girls were completely different.
However, only the uniforms and sword belts they wore were the same.
When they saw a man in the public bathroom for women, they looked surprised but a short blue-haired girl quickly reacted while pointing a sword at the silver-haired teenager.
"Raise your hands pervert and don't you dare run away! You are under arrest for infiltrating the Academy's woman's public bath!"
Hearing this, the silver-haired teenager named Lux became panicked.
The plot went wrong!
He was supposed to meet the heroine here!
Although there was also a plot where the protagonist was arrested for being a pervert who wanted to peek into the girls' public bathroom, but the important point of this plot was wrong because he didn't meet the heroine!
"I-I'm sorry. I-I fell here because the roof was broken. I was chasing a cat that stole a grandmother's pouch, I just wanted to get it back--"
The blue-haired Gadi interrupted and didn't want to listen to him.
"Hmph. For a pervert, you are the first one with the best looks so far. No, actually you're still below Liam-sama in terms of good looks, but that's about it."
"Um, sorry. Who is Liam-sama?"
Lux was sure that this dialog was not mentioned in canon.
Shouldn't this blue-haired girl say something about her appearance worthy of being her future husband?
He herself was actually very confident about his appearance. Silver hair, silver eyes, white skin, handsome and cute face. This is the protagonist's appearance, who is a man more handsome than him in this world?
Not answering Lux's question, the dazzlingly beautiful blue-haired girl who seemed to have the status of the leader said. "But it's regrettable. There was no pervert who crept into this girl's dormitory and managed to escape when discovered by us -- the Triad. So save your excuses for later, now you have to come with us to the prison!"
Then she said to the two girls beside her.
"Arrest that pervert. Tillfarr! Nokuto!"
"OK!"
"Good, but please be careful. Sharis, he might fight back in a perverted way."
"Un, you're right. Nakuto, you and Tillfarr should also be careful. Just use the sword to immobilize him!"
"OK!" The two girls said.
The blue-haired girl named Sharis nodded, feeling satisfied as a leader who had subordinates like the two of them.
"...." Lux paused, he was not stupid enough to wait for their dialog to finish.
At this moment he actually already ran to the window and jumped out.
The three girls were dumbfounded.
"Damn, that pervert is running away! We need to catch him quickly!"
The triad rushed to catch up with the protagonist!
...
Not far down the hallway to walk to the public bathroom, there is a sign that says "The public bathroom is not working, please shower elsewhere for the time being."
The words written on the board were of course a lie and the person who made it was Liam.
Liam breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the Triad, a kind of security organization in the Academy was chasing after the escaped protagonist.
He didn't care whether the protagonist was caught or not, the important thing was that he had successfully saved his younger sister from the protagonist's perverted accident.
Since the girls in the Academy saw the words written on his board, all the girls naturally skipped bathing in the public bathroom, including his younger sister. So automatically the public bathroom was empty when the protagonist fell from the roof. Not only that, he also reported to the Triad that he heard male screams from the direction of the public bathroom.
With his status and popularity in the Academy that he had fertilized for 1 year, Triad naturally did not doubt his words and immediately rushed to check the public bathroom.
And there was the failure of the protagonist's plot caused by him.
It seemed like the will of the world or whatever did not prevent him from doing this.
He was thankful for that because the strange power did not hold him back anymore like when he acted out of his cold character.
Wait, does that mean that as long as he still kept his cold character, he was free to mess up the protagonist's plot? He had some thoughts on this.
Liam, who had already disappeared the board he had secretly made, was now walking towards his dormitory while thinking about the idea of messing up the protagonist's plot.
'System, is it alright that I've messed up the protagonist's plot?" Liam asked the system inside his mind.
[The host won't experience something like being struck by lightning or having any accidents by the will of the world because the host has me. As for the impact of the plot that the host has messed up on this world and the characters in it? System cannot give a definite answer.]
Liam felt at ease hearing the former, but about the latter made him somewhat worried.
"So that's it..." He muttered in a low voice while walking.
Since the system had no definite answer, he could only pray that everything would be alright.
At least for him since she was the type of person who loved himself more than anyone else.
The system he had just gotten this morning, this system actually only gave system points every time he complained about the protagonist, heroine, and plot in his heart.
Those system points could be used to shop at the system shop which provided many things such as magic items, abilities, food, drinks and many other things from various fictional worlds.
Liam of course excited when he first learned about this from the system, but the prices of the goods in the system store were very expensive!
At least if it's supernatural items, it takes hundreds of thousands of points more to be able to buy it, depending on what supernatural items or abilities he wants to buy.
Liam felt disappointed after learning this and the system points he had earned from the complaint he made this morning were only 2500 points.
Can you imagine how little that was after all the experienced complaints he had made? He could have kept complaining in his heart to keep getting system points, but the points he got from the system became smaller and smaller.
The system says that the system points he gets depend on the quality of the host's complaints and on the situation the host is in.
This means that if he wants to get a large amount of system points from the complaints he makes, he should complain about the protagonist, the heroine, and the plot in a situation that matches what he is going through.
For example, like this morning when he complained about his younger sister who was about to have a nasty accident in the bathroom with the protagonist.
He got a pretty good amount of points from that complaint.
"Wait, isn't this a good opportunity to complain?"
Liam just realized this and immediately thought for a while and complained in his heart.
[Thankfully, I managed to foil the plot of the perverted accident that Lisha was going to have... I managed to prevent the protagonist from seeing her naked body in the bathroom. Since my younger sister was already safe, what would happen to the protagonist I didn't care. Right now he must still be being chased by those three girls from the Triad.]
[But the protagonist is like a cockroach, she can easily keep avoiding being caught by the Triad. In the end, it is the heroine who will succeed in capturing the protagonist.]
[Hm... If I'm not mistaken her name is Krulcifer Einfolk, she's one of the heroine destined to become a member of the protagonist's harem. That girl was a transfer student in my class since a month ago and I never talked to her yet.]
[Besides, with my cold character mask, how could I take the initiative to talk to her? And I actually don't want to get involved with her either, that girl has troublesome issues on her. I'm not the protagonist, even though I can help her problem, but why should I? No, thank you. I'll just leave it to the protagonist.]
Moments after complaining, a system notification sounded in his head.
[DING! Congratulations host, you earned 4000 system points!]
"Open my status." Liam immediately said to his system.
[Okay, host.]

Looking at his status screen. Liam nodded, his gaze focused on the number of points in his system, he felt like someone checking the balance in his bank account.
He felt depressed at the small number of points. For the first time after he was reincarnated as the Prince of a kingdom, he felt like a poor man.
He decided to save up his system points until he had enough to buy the items he wanted at the system store.
By the time he arrived at the door of his dorm room, a female voice called out to him from behind.
"Wait a minute!"
Liam naturally looked back and was surprised at the person calling him.
It was his younger sister, Lisesharte Atismata.
This world's first heroine had just called out to him, unlike usual where she was supposed to ignore him as usual.
[What is Lisha doing here? Why did she call me? Oh, wait. I shouldn't be narcissistic, maybe she called out to someone else standing not far from me.]
"...."
Liam looked around, but the dormitory hallway was empty. There was only him and his younger sister.
This girl really called me?
"L-Liam, I'm calling you." Lisha said nervously to her older brother, but she felt funny hearing his inner voice.
This was the first time in years that she took the initiative to start a conversation with him.
Actually she had been secretly following Liam since the morning class finished. After hearing his inner voice, she wanted to take Liam to lunch together, but after hearing the inner voice that said something about her having a perverted accident with the protagonist in the bathroom.
She changed her mind and thought to confirm first whether what Liam's inner voice said was true that the protagonist would fall in the Academy's public bathroom.
She saw everything Liam did back then. Her older brother deliberately made a fake notice board saying the public bathroom could not be used temporarily.
Her older brother did that to prevent the girls at the Academy from bathing there, of course his main goal was to prevent her from bathing there.
She was touched that her older brother, who pretended to be cold, went to such lengths just to protect her from the protagonist who might see her naked body in the bathroom.
She did not have a good impression on the person who had the protagonist's label.
Because she was tailing Liam, she also saw a silver-haired teenager who ran out of a public bathroom window while being chased by Triad members.
Lisha guessed that it must be the protagonist her older brother was referring to.
Basically she had now confirmed that what Liam's inner voice had said about the protagonist in the bathroom was true.
At this moment she wanted to thank Liam and try to have a close relationship with him.
"You really called me? I see, so what business do you have calling me?" Liam asked coldly and didn't bother to call her by name.
His face also looked indifferent as he stared at Lisha as if he didn't care about her.
"I-I want to..."
Lisha was getting nervous looking at his cold face, even though she knew it was a mask.
And she planned to ignore his cold mask because she knew her older brother was not cold in his heart.
Her older brother was cold on the outside, but warm on the inside.
Her older brother actually cares about her a lot and wants to get along with her.
It must have been difficult to continue wearing that cold mask for so many years.
Lisha bit her lip, she had to gather her courage to talk to her older brother.
Looking at his younger sister who had difficulty talking to him, Liam groaned in his heart.
He wanted to slap himself.
This damn cold face must have scared his younger sister!
He wanted to say soft words to convince Lisha to talk without worrying about him, but what came out of his mouth was... trash.
"Excuse me, Lisesharte Atismata? When are you going to speak soon? Don't think that just because you're my younger sister, I have the patience to keep waiting for you to speak. I'm giving you five seconds to speak. If you don't, forget it, I want to go rest in my room right away."
[Scum mouth! What did you say to my cute younger sister!? Though I wanted to say gentle words to her, but what came out of my mouth was this... It's over, Lisha must hate me even more now and won't want to talk to me ever. Good job, my cold character. I had to slap myself after returning to the room.]
At first Lisha felt hurt by his cold and heartless words to her, but hearing his inner voice...
She blushed to hear Liam call her a cute younger sister.
Hmph, so what if on the surface he treated her coldly?
She just needs to ignore his cold character and say what she wants straightforwardly!
Ignoring her older brother's cold mask, she was talking to her cute older brother behind that mask.
"I want to thank you, because if you hadn't bothered to make a fake notice board earlier. Many girls in the Academy and I would probably have become victims of harassment by perverts who infiltrated the public bathrooms." Lisha said with a big smile on her pretty face, her red eyes looking into her older brother's red eyes.
Although his gaze seemed indifferent and cold, but this time she was no longer afraid of him.
Liam's eyes seemed to widen at her words, but quickly became indifferent again.
"How did you..."
"How would I know? Hm~" Lisha put her finger on her lips while looking at him mischievously. "What do you think?"
Liam clicked his tongue. "Whatever, I don't care how you knew what I did before. And as for your thanks. You're welcome. So that's all, right?"
Lisha nodded, still with a smile on her face. "Yes, that's it."
"Good, then I-"
"For now."
Liam, who was about to enter his dorm room, was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Lisha strangely, he was about to ask coldly what she meant, but the other party had already turned around while waving at him.
The girl also said. "See you in class tomorrow, Onii-sama~"
Liam stood in front of the door while opening his mouth slightly, no sound came out of his mouth as it was just his surprised reaction to hearing Lisha call him Onii-sama.
For the first time he heard his younger sister call him Onii-sama!
A strange feeling filled his heart, making him dazed.
[M-My younger sister calls me Onii-sama? And she doesn't seem to hate me, despite me being cold to her. Strange, am I dreaming? If so, I don't want to wake up! Ahhhh, if only I had recorded it when she said that!]
Liam walked into his room with a depressed expression, when alone his cold face collapsed.
"System, can you make a video or audio recording of my memories?"
[......]
The system was silent listening to her host's question. Actually after seeing all the actions of her host, since she was activated this morning.
She wondered if her host was a Siscon?
