After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

hateful!

Why didn't I pay more attention to him before?

She's so good-looking it's almost unfair!

Eriri also found it strange. He was handsome and could cook, so why didn't any girls pursue him at school?

That's right...

He seemed to have cut some strands of hair, and the hair that had been covering his eyes was gone. His slightly parted hair and the glasses also seemed to have been removed.

Those eyes look so bright and beautiful. Why did you wear glasses before?

strangeness.

Even though he couldn't see his eyes before, and his face was partially covered by his long hair, making him not very noticeable, Eriri always felt that Byakuya had a very strange feeling about him.

and many more....

How come I didn't notice his change today?

Eriri suddenly realized something.

It seems I've been neglecting Bai Ye a bit in the past.

Moreover, if Bai Ye hadn't come looking for her, she would have almost forgotten about his existence.

His presence used to seem rather weak...

"If this guy had been a ninja, it would have been a really good profession!"

Eriri silently complained to herself. This lack of presence reminded her of someone she had met through Byakuya. In a way, both of them seemed to have a weak presence, but Eriri had always subconsciously ignored this issue before.

Looking back now, I realize that becoming a ninja, young man, meant you could accomplish any mission without anyone noticing.

Wouldn't that be the same as time stopping or the whole world being unable to see you?

and many more! ?

What is she thinking?!

Eriri suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something again.

"Don't look at him anymore!"

Eriri silently told herself a couple of things, knowing that she couldn't watch any longer.

Regardless of the reason.

However, after she stopped watching Bai Ye, she actually became a little bored.

Her legs swayed unconsciously beneath her skirt. Eriri glanced at the tablet computer beside her, hesitated for a moment, then looked towards the kitchen and asked, "Baiye, may I play with your tablet?"

"kindness."

With Byakuya's permission, Eriri swiped to unlock the phone and then collapsed onto the sofa.

Woo!

Lying on the sofa is just so comfortable!

Eriri felt a surge of relief; she would rather sit than stand, and rather lie down than sit.

"So much information!"

Eriri glanced at Byakuya's blog, where the message notifications showed 99+ messages.

Does Bai Ye also blog?

She was a little curious; with so many messages, there must be a lot of system notifications, right?

After all, someone like Bai Ye, who is a homebody, usually goes to work when he has something to do, and is rejected by all the girls, probably wouldn't have many people sending him messages, right?

Do you want to take a look?

My heart is so itchy!

Eriri felt this was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. Curiosity killed the cat, and she felt that this was exactly her situation.

【Ding dong! 】

[Hello, Ms. Bing, I'm an editor at Shueisha Comics. I've read your manga and feel it has great potential. Do you have any plans to publish a physical copy of your Naruto manga?]

Huh!? What is this!?

Eriri stared at the pop-up message, surprised that Byakuya actually drew comics.

And it even gained recognition from Shueisha manga?!

You should know that this is the most famous comic book company.

Eriri is currently just an adult doujinshi artist. She has thought about drawing a manga, a proper manga, so that everyone knows that Kashiwagi Eriri can do more than just that kind of thing.

However, Eriri understood just how difficult this was.

These days, she either draws illustrations or sketches.

As for manga, Eriri felt it wasn't something she could get involved with.

Now that she has seen that Bai Ye is also drawing comics, and is even more skilled than herself, she doesn't know what to say for a moment.

It all feels so unreal.

It's like the kid next door who never does particularly well on tests, but then one day, after he finishes an exam, you find that he actually did better than you, and by a lot.

This kind of thing is really a headache.

[By the way, Ms. Bing, your novel... ahem, have you ever considered publishing it through the forum moderators? A friend of mine really enjoys reading it!]

novel!?

He also writes novels?

I thought it was already outrageous that Byakuya's comics had been appreciated by Shueisha.

And now he's even writing novels! This is even more outrageous—a mother opening the door to something truly outrageous. It's utterly absurd.

So, back then, you could be drawing comics and writing novels while dating so many girls who were pursuing you.

A time management guru?

But....

Judging from this, his novels seem to be quite good.

What on earth happened?! Am I still half asleep?!

Eriri suddenly began to seriously doubt herself, and even had the urge to ask Byakuya what was going on.

Chapter 15 - Eriri: I will definitely kill you, Byakuya!

Or should we just forget it?

Eriri was also a little scared and didn't dare to ask Bai Ye, mainly because she saw Bai Ye's message. Although she didn't mean to, it was still considered as prying into someone else's privacy.

If I were to ask at this moment, Bai Ye might think I did it on purpose.

If that's the case, it seems she has no way to explain it.

With that in mind, she put down Bai Ye's tablet.

Even during dinner, Bai Ye felt that she seemed a little strange.

"what happened to you?"

Bai Ye couldn't help but ask, "Judging from Eriri's expression, did she find the teacher's teaching videos on her tablet?"

Probably not...

I locked myself up.

Unless Eriri is a skilled hacker, I've never heard of her using this trick.

“No…it’s okay…”

Eriri's face showed a hint of panic. Seeing the way Byakuya was looking at her, she waved her hands repeatedly, trying to block Byakuya from looking at her.

Could they have actually seen it, given how well they're trying to hide it?

"Eri, you wouldn't discriminate against me, would you?"

"Huh? No... no... I'm actually a little envious too..."

Eriri looked up in surprise at Bai Ye, and then, seeing the look in his eyes, she knew that perhaps Bai Ye had found out about the secret she had just peeked at.

Since he has come clean with me.

She simply admitted it.

What is there to discriminate against about her?

She was already envious enough!
