Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

However, after reading Byakuya's novel, Kagurazaka Ayame was greatly surprised, never expecting that it could be written by a first-grade elementary school student.

After signing Bai Ye, Bai Ye did not disappoint. Not only did his first light novel sell well, but he also released many more best-selling books. Now, at only 12 years old, Bai Ye has become a well-known veteran in the industry.

"Because there are some things that are not easy to say directly online, I came here."

Bai Ye touched his nose, somewhat hesitant to look at the editor who had always taken such good care of him, after all, he had come here to retire from writing.

"That's perfect. Today is the day that the eleventh volume of 'The Dragon King's Work' by Byakuya-sensei comes to an end. We can go out and find a place to celebrate after sage's business is over."

"Baiye-sensei? You're the Baiye who wrote 'The Dragon King's Work'?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was still thinking about where to go to celebrate with Byakuya when a cold, loli-like voice suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation.

Kagurazaka Ayame was curious about who had interrupted her, but when she turned around, she was stunned into place by the cold, blue-and-white-haired loli in front of her.

Ayame was shocked for a simple reason: the little girl before her looked exactly like Sora Ginko, the shogi queen from the novel they had just been discussing, or rather...

"I am Kong Yinzi!"

The cold, loli-like voice voiced Ayame's guess.

"what..."

Ayame was surprised that Byakuya's novel actually used real people as references. Judging from the two of them, Byakuya might have been discovered to have written his childhood friend as the female lead in the book. Ayame found this rather amusing.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye was utterly embarrassed. He never expected that before he could even cut off his disguise, the victim of his disguise had already come looking for him. What should he do now? Bai Ye already regretted coming to the editorial department today.

"Since you're here to see Teacher Bai Ye, then you two can talk first. I still have some work to take care of, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Sensing that something was off about the atmosphere in the space, Kagurazaka Ayame, who had assumed it was a quarrel between childhood sweethearts, decided not to be a third wheel and left the space to the two of them.

Seeing his editor's teasing expression, as if to say, "I'm not even married yet, I don't want to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)," Bai Ye was speechless. Although he didn't know what his editor was imagining, Bai Ye swore that his current situation had absolutely nothing to do with what his editor was thinking.

"I do not have a junior brother who is the Dragon King named Izumi Byakuya."

Hearing the loli's cold words, Bai Ye had no idea how to respond.

"I don't have any title like Naniwa Shirayuki-hime."

The title of "young lady" actually belongs to you, but you only received it after you became queen and took the throne of the lady when you were eleven years old.

"But because of your novel, people in the industry have started calling me Naniwa Shirayuki-hime."

When this matter was mentioned, a hint of anger flashed across Kong Yinzi's cold face.

Sora Ginko was a genius who could memorize the rules of shogi at the age of two. When she was four, she lost a game to Kiyotaki Kosuke while giving instructions, and then used the internet to find Kiyotaki Kosuke's address.

The little girl, who never gave up, took the tram every day to carry out her revenge. There is even a legend that the station staff specially set up a platform in front of the ticket machine because her hand could not reach it.

Although this matter was eventually resolved after Sora Ginko's parents discussed it with Kiyotaki Kosuke, it ended with Ginko becoming Kiyotaki Kosuke's apprentice.

However, this also reveals Sora Ginko's unyielding and persistent nature since childhood, as well as her vengeful personality.

But this vengeful genius girl, while she was focused on studying her chess skills yesterday, suddenly discovered that she had already become famous in the chess world ahead of schedule.

Success and fame might make people happy, but if the reason for fame is not because of their chess skills or winning a title, but because of a light novel, then the stubborn little girl will be very angry.

So, in a fit of anger, Sora Ginko picked up the light novel and went to the Shinazugawa editorial department alone the next day, where she caught Byakuya, who had come to stop writing.

Looking at the loli Bai Ye in front of him, he felt a little guilty and thought for a long time before weakly speaking.

"How about I take the novel down right now and stop writing altogether, as an apology to you?"

Little Saint: "Isn't this exactly what you wanted to achieve?"

Bai Ye: "You idiot goddess, shut up!"

Xiao Sheng: "You're shameless and you won't let people talk about it? I'm not going to shut up, what can you do to me?"

Bai Ye: "You wait until we get back, I'll deal with you tonight."

Little Saint: "......"

Completely unaware that Bai Ye was internally arguing with a goddess, Kong Yinzi, with a cold expression, remained unmoved by Bai Ye's suggestion. She simply gave Bai Ye a cold look and shook her head to indicate that she would not agree.

"What do you want."

"It's simple, shogi! Just beat me."

Staring directly at Bai Ye, the little loli Kong Yinzi simply uttered a few cold words.

"But I don't know how to play shogi at all!"

Bai Ye was speechless. He was trying to avoid Yin Zi right now, so how could he possibly go play chess with Yin Zi?

"I do not believe!"

He raised his hand and waved the book "The Dragon King's Work" in his hand. Sora Ginko's meaning was clear: You can write a book like this and you're telling me you can't play shogi? You're kidding me.

Seeing that the little girl was unwilling to give up, Bai Ye hesitated.

"Are you crazy! Isn't this a perfect opportunity for you to quickly win over Kong Yinzi?"

"Weren't you complaining to me yesterday that you couldn't find a crossover anime heroine to romance? How come now that Sora Ginko has come to you, you still want to push her away?"

Xiao Sheng's sudden interruption completely woke Bai Ye up.

"Ah... myself... it seems so, holy crap!"

Bai Ye suddenly woke up with a start and realized that he had been in a misunderstanding. He had treated the novels he had plagiarized as a kind of dark history. After all, if he had encountered such a thing, he would definitely think of the author as a perverted stalker who was following him.

So Bai Ye, who had been running away, forgot that he could also use these novels to get closer to the heroines who came to him. If Xiao Sheng hadn't suddenly reminded him today, he would have refused Silver Loli's invitation because of his shame.

"I was so stupid! Really! I was always worried about how to get to know the other female protagonists in this world since I only knew a few. Little did I know that the way to make the female protagonists come to me had been right in front of me all along."

Having figured this out, Bai Ye's eyes lit up instantly. He didn't care about whether he would retire from writing or not, and immediately accepted Kong Yinzi's invitation to a match.

Seeing Bai Ye muttering to himself and then suddenly realizing something with surprise, a big question mark appeared on Kong Yinzi's little head.

What illness does this person have?

Didn't you just say you don't know how to play shogi and look hesitant about how to refuse me?

How did he suddenly start talking to himself and then change his expression like a Sichuan opera performer, and now he's immediately agreed to his shogi challenge?

He originally just wanted to see if the real Izumi Byakuya was actually a shogi alien like the Dragon King junior brother he wrote in his novel.

But now it seems, could this person have schizophrenia?

Watching Bai Ye suddenly become excited, Kong Yinzi's cold little face suddenly turned a little scared.

However, Bai Ye was unaware of Kong Yinzi's inner turmoil. After accepting Kong Yinzi's invitation, he immediately took out his phone and started searching for nearby shogi (Japanese chess) halls.

......

Chapter Eighteen: The Silver That Was Sold Out

"Flying car!"

"eat"

"Kei Ma~"

"eat!"

At this moment, in a shogi (Japanese chess) hall in Tokyo.

Byakuya and Sora Ginko are engaged in a fierce shogi game.

Empty Silver took the initiative and struck first.

"In this step, the silver will be upgraded to silver, and together with the gold, it will form a jade enclosure."

"Useless! Watch me transform into the Dragon King, King's Hand!"

"You've been checkmated again, Sora Ginko. This is the third time already. Want me to give you a two-piece handicap next time?"

At this moment, Kong Yinzi gritted her teeth, completely ignoring Bai Ye's teasing tone. She stared intently at the chessboard, sweating profusely, afraid of missing a move. On the other hand, Bai Ye was very relaxed. Hearing the large group of chess players who had gathered around early on praising her skill, Bai Ye even felt secretly proud.

"You played shogi with a 9-year-old girl and secretly used your superhuman abilities to cheat. How dare you be so proud of yourself?"

Only Xiao Sheng, who knew everything, looked at the smug Bai Ye with disdain in his eyes.

"What do you know? Divine power is my own ability. Besides, there's no rule in shogi that forbids using divine power to improve calculation ability."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's inner explanation, Xiao Sheng simply rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this shameless thing.

"Come again!"

At this moment, Kong Yinzi, who had finally succeeded in reviewing the game, gritted her teeth and looked at Bai Ye with a defiant expression, challenging him to another duel.

However, this time Bai Ye did not directly accept the loli's invitation.

"You've already lost three games. Haven't you realized the gap between us yet? Keep going. I'm getting tired, even if you're not."

Bai Ye picked up the hot water brought by the chess hall and drank it all in one gulp. Bai Ye didn't seem tired at all. The reason he said that was simply because the last bit of his divine power that he had exchanged for his brain's computing power was not lasting much longer.

"Come again!"

As if she hadn't heard Bai Ye's complaints, Kong Yinzi just stared at Bai Ye with resentment in her eyes, her gaze filled with a determination to win at all costs.

"All right!"

Unable to withstand the loli's intense gaze, Bai Ye calculated that he had just enough time left to play one last round. Therefore, Bai Ye accepted Kong Yinzi's invitation to a rematch.

However, this time Bai Ye did not return all the pieces to the board. In order to prevent Kong Yinzi from bothering him again after this game, Bai Ye simply removed his two chariots and two knights.

"What do you mean?"

Sora Ginko is very angry. She's angry because she lost, angry because she heard Byakuya teasing her, and now that she sees Byakuya starting by giving her four stones, Ginko is even angrier.

Even when she first played Go with her master, Kiyotaki Kosuke 9-dan, she had never been given such a large handicap.

"It's nothing, just to make you fully realize your own strength!"

When she realized that Bai Ye still hadn't put the chess pieces back after she questioned him, the little silver loli was completely enraged and glared at Bai Ye.

"Don't regret it!"

"Of course I won't regret it!"

Bai Ye just smiled at the little girl's harsh words.

The battle has restarted...

Then, half an hour later, seeing himself checkmated once again, Xiao Yinzi was completely speechless this time.

"Where...into...which step...went wrong...?"

She clenched her teeth so hard that her lower lip bled, but she didn't even realize it. Her eyes were red as she stared at the chessboard, which seemed to have no way to move. Two crystal-clear tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but Little Silver didn't cry out. Her two little fists were clenched tightly.

He was completely outmatched even after his opponent gave him four pieces, especially since his opponent was a boy who was only a few years older than him.

Is it really as he wrote in his novel?

Are there really shogi aliens in this world?

Seemingly answering Bai Ye's question, yet also seemingly talking to herself, Kong Yinzi felt incredibly unwilling, even more so than when she lost to her master before.

The witty praises from the passersby sounded so grating to Xiao Yinzi's ears.

Little Silver wanted to cry, but she couldn't. She absolutely couldn't show any weakness in front of this chess-playing alien.

"I will definitely come back and defeat you!"

Silver Loli stood up, pointed at Bai Ye with her tiny finger, and roared at him in a slightly hoarse voice.

Then, the moment after she finished yelling, the little girl, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears, quickly turned around and ran out of the chess hall.

Seeing the little girl run away after making her threats, Bai Ye wiped the sweat from his brow. He had to admit that Little Silver's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. By using defensive tactics, Little Silver almost managed to drag the game out until his divine power ran out. It could be said that if Little Silver had held on for just one more minute, Bai Ye, this paper tiger built on divine power, would have immediately been exposed.

Fortunately, I managed to persevere.

Bai Ye sighed, recalling the tear that had splashed over when Xiao Yinzi ran away. Bai Ye frowned, realizing that he had completely ignored Xiao Yinzi's feelings because the divine power buff was about to expire.

Did I go a bit too far this time?

"You know you've gone too far?"

The one who responded to Bai Ye's mutterings was Xiao Sheng, who had witnessed Bai Ye bullying the little girl the whole time.
