Chapter 369: Lacking Expectations Can Still Disappoint You

Patience and calm are virtues I lack, although I compensate with self-control. However, the plot tries hard to push me to the limits of my tolerance...

The brats went for ice cream, played some video game machines, looked at clothes and enjoyed the day. Everything should have been normal, but the amount of idiots who seemed "interested" in them was abnormally sick.

I know Japan has a serious problem with pedophilia, but this is just ridiculous.

It's true that Miyu, Chloe and Illya are very cute and will no doubt be absolutely beautiful women when they grow up, but that will take years. The fact that so many pedophiles appear in a single afternoon gives me a headache.

Of course, this is not normal, even by Japanese standards. Although there are many pedophiles and stalkers loose on the street, most of them are very afraid of the social and legal consequences of approaching brats, so they only dare to look, but not touch.

The problem is that this time, several of them had an increase in "courage" and were willing to take the risk.

This didn't happen because of the system user or some lustful demon, it's just that the brats' plot armor has grown to the point where they became a major trouble magnet. Being a protagonist sucks.

Damn fucking pedophiles...

Ah, whatever. For now I'll memorize the faces of those idiots to eliminate them when the war starts.

On the other hand, the system user became a big problem.

Thanks to System Goddess, I managed to see a superficial description of the system from the system user pretending to be a teacher. From what I saw, his system is based on training, dominating and ordering other entities.

It's not something like mind control or Makima's absolute control, it's he can subject entities to training to be obedient, so even my [Stand] can't break the control. A slow and progressive mental reprogramming would be necessary, as well as a long process of mental reconditioning.

Long story short, most system users use hypnosis to control people, but this bastard uses indoctrination that is usually used to train dogs.

In some ways, we're not that different. Only our motivations and self-perception change.

That is problematic since System Goddess detected that the system user has stored some entities with the power to destroy worlds. She couldn't see the enemy's precise data since that would alert the fake professor, but at least she confirmed that he could be a problem.

Another problem is that the system user has some kind of artifact or ability that prevents me from seeing all of his records, so [Reader Perspective] can only see 78% of his thoughts and records.

The only positive thing is that the system user sees himself as a merciful man and thinks that he only uses violence as a form of self-defense.

That's all rubbish since he seems to be the kind of stupid hypocrite who would destroy a city just because some idiot pointed a sword at him. He is like a protagonist with a Chinese name, but with a pathetic sense of justice and kindness that I have only seen in protagonists with a Japanese name.

The difference with me is that I know I'm trash while he really sees himself as a good guy.

The sickest thing of all is that he really cares for my daughters and Illya... He wants to protect them from being destroyed during the invasion, so he wants to enslave them to keep them safe.

Because of that hypocritical kindness, he wants to seduce my daughters without using drugs, charm skills, or torture. He sees it as sincere love, but in reality it is emotional manipulation since he is an adult and they are naive brats.

With every second that passes, I can feel how the city and my mind become a glass of water about to overflow. The problems keep piling up, the shit keeps popping up, and my chances of protecting the city keep shrinking.

Maybe things would be easier if I decided to attack first, but my nagging desire to see Miyu happy while she plays her basketball game is what's stopping me.

My stupid feelings of attachment force me to take the hard way…

I sighed internally and continued eating a slice of pizza while my gaze focused on Miyu, Chloe, and Illya.

As the brats played, I could see that the plot armor continued to grow with each step, so at any moment something important should happen.

Just in case, Ortro is on alert mode to attack any enemy, while Abby is close to them to send them to a safe place in case of emergency.

As for Illya's friends... Well, my daughters can always make new friends. I have my priorities clear.

Time passed and the girls headed to Illya's house to watch a series or something.

Nothing important happened on the way, and although there were a couple of idiots who had intentions of approaching the girls, a bark from Ortro was enough for them to leave them alone.

Currently, [Mythomania] is covering Ortro to make her look like a normal dog, so the barking was nothing special, it was just that those idiots were afraid that the barking would attract other people's gazes, which could cause them trouble.

Thus, the littlle girls almost arrived at Illya's house, but just when they were a couple of blocks away from the house, Paranoia and Abby sensed something happening in a small alley.

"Hey Listen! Let's go get the new merchandise!" – Navi devoured her burger and disappeared.

I finished my slice of pizza and used Ortro's skill to ignore distances, at the same time, I covered my body with [Anti-Rasen] to hide my presence and modified my records with [Mythomania] in case the target can see me.

In an instant I appeared in the alley and there I saw my target.

A dimensional crack had appeared in the place that led to nowhere. That thing was a one-way door and was connected to what seemed like a forgotten garbage dump of this World.

The instant I appeared in the alley, the crack produced a subtle energy as a humanoid figure was thrown out as if fleeing.

The moment the person stepped out of the crack, the space returned to normal and the crack disappeared without a trace of the spatial anomaly. I couldn't even detect that a space phenomenon occurred here.

I didn't have time to analyze the phenomenon as I immediately rushed towards the person who emerged from the crack.

The person was a young girl with pink hair and a slim figure. Although the girl was attractive, I couldn't appreciate her attractive naked body as my hand grabbed her mouth before she hit the floor.

The girl seemed dazed and didn't know where she was, who I was, or who she was. She was so confused that she didn't even show concern when the chains of [Anti-Rasen] covered her body to suppress her abilities and movements.

I didn't waste time talking and quickly used [Masochism] to strengthen [Anti-Rasen] and [Mythomania].

Abby appeared next to me at the same time that the chains of [Anti-Rasen] formed a sphere that covered the three of us, at the same time, [Mytomania] and Abby hid all traces of the sphere in such a way that an Great Old One could not detect us even if it were to touch the sphere.

The girl had been covered by the chains as if she were a butterfly cocoon. Only her eyes were visible, and despite the strange situation, she didn't look at me with anger or resentment, she just showed curiosity.

For the moment I ignored the girl and focused on what was important.

The entire capture process was instantaneous. After two seconds of capturing the girl, footsteps were heard near the entrance of the alley and the group of brats walked past.

"Illya, Miyu, is something wrong?" – A blonde brat asked the two girls who stopped to look in the alley.

The girls' eyes looked in my direction, but the sphere prevented them from noticing me. The plot armor had made them feel that they must find something important, so they felt confused by the strange feeling of emptiness.

"I thought I heard something, it doesn't matter" – Illya shook her head and smiled. – "Come on, it's almost time to eat"

Miyu's eyes sparkled. – "Father will make food, let's go"

Illya's mouth began to salivate.

"Eh? "Why is Miyu's father at Illya's house?" – A girl with glasses tilted her head in confusion.

"Eeehhh?!" – Illya realized that she didn't know how to explain that and panicked.

"My dad and Illya's mom are friends" – Chloe spoke with a kind tone of voice as if she wanted to avoid a misunderstanding, but her slightly perverted smile made it seem like she was speaking in a double meaning. – "While Illya's father is busy, Aunt Iiris feels very lonely, so dad is comforting her so that she doesn't feel empty~"

The girls didn't understand the double meaning, but one of them seemed quite perceptive and blushed as strange ideas filled her head.

"What?!" – Illya shouted with a red face with a mixture of anger, indignation and… Envy? Oh really? Damn.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm just kidding" – Chloe shrugged her shoulders. – "We better go quickly or we will miss the food"

Illya was frowning, but her gluttony overcame her resentment, so she nodded angrily.

The girls walked again, but Chloe took one last look at the alley. She also felt something telling her that she must find something or someone here, but she wasn't confused like Miyu and Illya. She had a feeling that I had done something, so she smiled and spoke in a low voice.

"Father tsundere ~" – Chloe let out a small laugh and walked next to her new friends, or well, I want to think that she sees them as her friends…

"Hey Listen! Tsun tsun~ Dere dere~!" – Navi, shut up…

"Tch" – Abby clicked her tongue as she didn't like Chloe's color, but her displeasure turned to joy when my left hand began to caress her head. – "Nn…"

Although the brats left, we stayed in place since there is something I need to confirm.

When I checked on the little girls, Abby told me that there was a trail of space movements near them.

She said that trail was familiar and she wanted to check it out, but she didn't want to ruin my plans, so she contained her curiosity and remained obedient.

I had a rough idea of what was going on because of the records I saw on Koyanskaya about the destruction of Chaldea, in fact, I already talked about this with Abby and we formed some theories.

We only had to wait a minute for the spies to appear.

"Those damn disobedient animals…" – Abby pouted angrily as space began to warp.

Three corners of the alley were deformed as if the space were a sheet of paper with which to make origami.

The spatial anomaly formed three tiny lock-like Dimensional Gates.

From each Gate extended long hands that looked like animal claws, but with a structure similar to that of a human.

Three large beasts emerged from the Gates and began to look around.

Each creature was similar to a lizard, but with skulls similar to some kind of deformed dog with countless teeth. Each one was as big as a bus, but the space warped over their bodies, allowing them to move easily within the alley as if they were small fish in a free sea.

I already had my theories when I saw Koyanskaya's records, but the records were incomplete, so I was intrigued.

So far I have seen many strange things, but I didn't think I would find the Hounds of Tindalos... I want one as a pet.

"…" – Abby seemed increasingly angry, especially when she saw that the dogs had strange leashes around their necks.

She was very angry with the dogs since they abandoned her when she had an attack of dementia, although it would be better to say that they ran away so as not to die horribly. I can't blame them, an Outer God who lost self-control is the worst natural disaster.

Even though she wanted to hit the dogs, her anger was greater towards the person who stole her pets.

I gently stroked Abby's head and spoke softly. – "Don't worry, we will take care of them later"

"Nnn" – Abby nodded, although her eyes did not leave the dogs that seemed to be searching for any trace of what had happened.

"Good girl, you earned some pancakes" – I smiled and kissed Abby's forehead.

The little racist smiled tenderly as her eyes filled with expectation.

The dogs continued searching for any trace. Just as the name says, they looked like dogs sniffing the place to look for a trail, although they don't really use their sense of smell like I do, but rather they were analyzing the traces of spatial movement.

Now that I have them in front of me, I was able to analyze their records and they seemed like very interesting creatures.

The main bearers of Madness energy are the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones, but they are not the only beings with this power.

This energy is like a disease that deforms the genetic, spiritual and mental structure of each creature, so a human, demon or deity with this power no longer belongs to its original race, but becomes a sub-race.

On the other hand, throughout history there have been many races that were created by the Outer and Great Old Ones. Some of these breeds were born out of boredom, experiments or mere accidents.

The case of the Tindalos Dogs is something more on the side of planned accidents. They are the spawn created by the Outer God K'thun. They are something like the children of that entity, although K'thun never treated them as it's children, but rather as pieces of flesh that fell off it's body.

K'thun had no use for them, so it gave them to Abby. It should be mentioned that it is not uncommon for weaker Outer Gods to give gifts to stronger Outer Gods. It's something of a peace offering since you never know if Yog-Sothoth wants to do an experiment on your body, Nyarlathotep may be bored and looking for a toy, or Shub-Niggurath may want a bedfellow for several millennia.

Anyway. Now that I saw the Hounds of Tindalos, I realized a big problem…

I originally thought the leashes controlling the dogs were part of Makima's ability, but these leashes are different than any I've seen.

[Paranoia: A 10% resemblance to the Control Demon's power has been detected. A 40% similarity with the energy of the Domestication System has been detected. There is a 77% chance that the necklace is a product of the Domestication System, but the current ownership is with the Control Demon due to a trade agreement between the system user and the demon.]

I see, the system user has enough strength to subdue Abby's pets... I'm starting to have expectations for the taste of his soul...

After five minutes without finding any trace, the Hounds of Tindalos headed to the corners of the alley and entered the corners of the wall to disappear without a trace.

The surprising thing is that the stealth and movement abilities of those dogs is almost comparable to Navi's movement ability, making them excellent spies and tracking dogs.

I really want them to be my pets... But if that's not possible, well, I'll make Chinese food.

When the dogs were gone, I opened the sphere and asked Abby to take us to safety.

The little girls are already at Illya's house, but before leaving I left them food, so I'll see them later.

We enter a pocket dimension to have a quiet conversation.

The chains covering the girl disappeared so we could talk, but she started looking in all directions without worrying that her private areas were completely visible. – "Huh? Where I am? Who are you? Hey, I'm thirsty... Do you have water? I'm cold too, give me clothes… Ah, I'm hungry…"

...

I put my hand on my face and suppressed the desire to sigh…

Before my attention was focused on the dogs and I didn't analyze the girl's records, but now that my attention is focused on her, I realized that my life can never be easy...

[Character Sheet] showed me something very disappointing.

[Name: GAIA (Current form: Tanaka)

I sighed heavily… It turns out that GAIA is more useless than I imagined. This complicates things.

For now I opened my Rasen Dimension to take out some clothes and food.

I approached the girl with anencephaly and crouched down while offering a cookie. – "Here, eat this"

"Oh, cookies!" – The girl screamed happily and grabbed the cookie to eat.

While she started eating, I started dressing her, which was a pain as she seemed to think this was a game and started thrashing around like a fish out of water.

"Hahahaha, I like this!" – GAIA was laughing while I struggled to put her underwear on.

"If you stop moving I will give you another cookie" – I spoke with a smile while I hid my annoyance.

"Cookie!" – GAIA screamed excitedly and stopped moving.

"…Nn…" – I heard Abby make a sound, so I turned to look at her.

"…" – I looked blankly at the blonde brat of hers. – "Why are you naked?"

"Dress Abby" – Abby was lying on the transparent glass-like floor while her clothes were neatly folded next to her.

She spoke in a monotone to try to hide her embarrassment, but her face was redder than a ripe apple. Even she knows this is ridiculous.

I sighed and approached the brat to dress her.

Abby was very embarrassed but happy. I think I'm spoiling her too much, but hey, she's cute so she's fine.

"Cold again" – When I finished dressing Abby, a naked GAIA jumped on my back and started acting like a koala.

….

"Dress yourself" – I massaged my forehead.

"I don't know how" – GAIA was still glued to my back while her face was pressed into the back of my neck. – "You don't smell like cookies, I want cookies"

….

"Hey Listen! You are a magnet for autistic women hahahahaha!" – Navi was eating popcorn while she watched me suffer.

I sighed internally. I'll have to teach this girl some common sense before I take her with me.

On the other hand, now I must find a way to contact Beast VII. Now GAIA is no different than a mentally disabled person with no use, she only serves to negotiate with the woman who screwed up part of my life, so I will have to modify several of my plans.

Even when I have no expectations, I always end up disappointed….
