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

I'm about to travel to the first world. Currently, the author wants to write about the GOSICK world. Do other readers have any other suggestions?

Chapter 22 Shogi Star Man

Having been traumatized by the ghoul incident, Gin had long forgotten that she was still crying. She stared with wide, questioning eyes, extremely curious about Byakuya's identity.

"Just like you said before, I am actually a Shogi alien from the M78 Nebula."

"Nonsense! The M78 Nebula is clearly the hometown of Yu Tou La Ma (a popular internet celebrity)."

Seemingly feeling that Byakuya was bullying her for not watching tokusatsu, Sora's little face puffed up like a little bun in anger, making Byakuya have an urge to reach out and poke it.

"And I clearly heard it just now... Are you really the Son of God? The Son of God?"

Sora's small eyes were filled with great curiosity.

"No, I am a Shogi alien from Nebula M78! That's why Xiao Kong Yin Zi can't beat me at Shogi, isn't it?"

Bai Ye's stubborn denial made Xiao Yinzi anxious and angry. Then, when she heard Bai Ye mention shogi, Xiao Yinzi remembered that she had run away crying earlier, which made the little girl blush.

"So next time you lose a game of chess, you can't just run out like that. It's very dangerous outside, and I might not be there to save you next time."

This time, Bai Ye spoke with a serious tone, giving his instructions.

"Ok!"

Sora Ginko's mind flashed back to the scene of Byakuya heroically saving the little girl, and she felt an unparalleled sense of security as she was protected behind him.

So, the proud little silver bird reluctantly thanked Bai Ye.

"Um... thank you... thank you for saving me, Saint... Lord White Night."

"Don't call me 'sir' anymore. Just call me Byakuya or Byakuya Onii-chan."

After hearing this, Xiao Yinzi thought for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and she didn't refuse. She immediately called out.

"Byakuya Onii-chan."

It's worth mentioning that although Ginko and Eriri are often considered the tsundere duo who can't get enough of each other, Ginko is actually seven parts tsundere and three parts cute, unlike Eriri who is three parts tsundere and seven parts cute.

Eriri is able to say the opposite of what she means, even in a situation where she's about to confess at a crucial moment.

As for the empty silver, it's true that it's willing to step in at crucial moments. As for why it couldn't be used in the original story, it's probably because the silver had already passed the Dragon King's hunting expiration date! (laughs!)

Hearing Ginko's soft and cute "Onii-chan," Byakuya was quite pleased, but unexpectedly, Ginko immediately showed a face full of fighting spirit:

"Although you saved me, I will still come back to challenge you again. Even if you are the Holy Son or some kind of Shogi Alien, I will definitely be able to beat you!"

After issuing her challenge, the little girl seemed a bit shy and didn't dare to stay any longer, turning around to run away. However, before she could take a step, Bai Ye grabbed her arm.

"You...what are you doing?"

Xiao Yinzi blushed a little, but then saw Bai Ye take out his phone and say something to her.

"Since you still want to challenge me again, let's exchange contact information. Otherwise, how do you plan to contact me next time? Are you going to wait for me at the editor's office again?"

"Ah! Hmm!"

Obediently, she took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Bai Ye. This time, when Kong Yinzi wanted to leave, Bai Ye didn't stop her. He simply had Xiao Sheng teach him a defensive technique that allowed him to absorb sunlight to replenish his light power, and then secretly cast it into the little girl's body.

"From now on, all the little girls in my family must be equipped with this defensive spell!"

Sighing at the dangers of this world, Bai Ye sat down and made a decision.

Alright! Now it's time to go find that tsundere Eriri! Bai Ye took a step and was about to walk towards Eriri's house when Xiao Sheng's sudden words interrupted him.

"This little silverfish may not even realize that it has developed feelings of admiration or even worship for you."

"what???"

Upon hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Bai Ye immediately opened the system panel with delight to check.

"You... you've already conquered her?"

Bai Ye saw that his system showed the number of female protagonists he had bound to had increased to 5, his divine power increase had increased to 5 points per month, and the 1 point of divine power he had consumed while playing chess had been added back.

"This is truly a delightful surprise!"

......

Evening

Byakuya arrived at the door of Eriri's luxurious villa, ringing the doorbell while marveling at how incredibly wealthy the Sawamura family was, befitting their status as a noble family.

Just as Bai Ye was looking around, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and a beautiful young woman who looked similar to Eriri walked out...?

Good heavens, is this little girl really Eriri's mother? Is Uncle Sawamura sure he won't be arrested and imprisoned?

Byakuya reached his current conclusion based on Eriri's age.

Of course, there was a reason why Bai Ye made this judgment. The lady in front of him looked about 80% like Eriri. She also had twin tails on her head, but her hair color had turned dark purple. She had a loli-like figure and her apparent age was probably only a little older than Eriri when she was in high school in the original work.

If Byakuya hadn't known the plot beforehand, he would have immediately mistaken this woman for Eriri's older sister.

"Hello, sister. I am Bai Ye, and I am Eriri's classmate. I am here at Eriri's house today at her invitation."

Even though he knew this was the lady of the house, Bai Ye could still call her "sister" to win over his mother-in-law. After all, what girl wouldn't want to be called younger?

This was also the first time that Sayuri Sawamura had met Byakuya. The moment she saw Byakuya, she was immediately drawn to this handsome boy who was both young and innocent.

I had heard my daughter tell me the story of Byakuya saving me before, and this time I invited Byakuya to my home to check on my daughter in advance. After all, one bad experience of making friends (referring to Aki Midori) is enough.

"You must be Bai Ye, please come in. But Bai Ye, you've got something wrong. I'm not Eriri's older sister, I'm Eriri's mother!"

When Sayuri Sawamura heard Bai Ye calling her "sister" repeatedly, her initial impression of him improved by three points. Coupled with Bai Ye's handsome appearance, Mrs. Sawamura gave this potential son-in-law a perfect first impression.

"No way, my sister must be joking with me. She looks to me at most five years older than me, probably a high school student."

"My little Shiro has such a sweet tongue, no wonder she can charm my Eriri so much."

Just as the wife was about to tease Bai Ye a bit, a haughty voice immediately came from inside the room.

"Who...who was completely fooled by him? Okasan, don't talk nonsense in front of other people's friends."

Eriri blushed and immediately came out of the room to stand between Byakuya and Sayuri. Her proud and aloof appearance made Sayuri, as her mother, unable to help but cover her face.

"Eri, I don't remember ever making you into this tsundere."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Eriri's Little Secret

"Eri, I don't remember ever making you into this tsundere."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Okasan? Being tsundere isn't a talent you're born with, and... who... who's tsundere!"

Eriri was furious.

"Really? If Eriri isn't a tsundere, then why does she keep saying she doesn't like Byakuya, yet she calls out Byakuya's name in her dreams at night?"

"Oh dear! I accidentally let Eriri's little secret slip! I hope Eriri won't be mad at me, her mother!"

The wife had a mischievous grin on her face as she looked at her proud daughter, as if teasing her daughter was a regular source of amusement for her.

"Oh! Ka! San! What... what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you making up things that didn't happen?"

Upon hearing her mother's revelation, Eriri's face turned completely red. She spoke haltingly, glaring angrily at her mother, steam rising from her head. She stomped her little feet shyly, as if trying to disappear into the ground.

She had finally calmed down a little, perhaps because she was afraid that her mother would continue to tell Bai Ye all her little secrets.

The usually aloof Eriri surprisingly took the initiative to reach out and hold Byakuya's hand, pulling him towards her room.

"Okasan, hurry up and go make your meal! I'll take Baiye back to my room to entertain him."

"Oh my! Is Eriri so eager to get started? Such youthful energy!"

"Shut up and go cook!"

"Bang!"

After slamming the door shut, Bai Ye curiously began to look around Eriri's room.

The room was decorated in light pink, a typical cute girly room. However, there were many painting supplies such as paints, drawing paper, and sketches. Crumpled pieces of paper were scattered on the floor, and on a small table in the corner used for drawing, Byakuya saw several unfinished sketches. They looked like two children, a boy and a girl. One of them resembled Eriri, and the other... well, why did it look so much like him?

"Don't...don't look! Close your eyes now, and you can only open them in a few minutes when I tell you to!"

Seemingly only now realizing the inappropriateness of her room, Eriri blushed again and hurriedly reached out to cover Byakuya's eyes.

Of course, Bai Ye wouldn't obediently listen to this. He dodged Eriri's little hand, went straight over and picked up Eriri's original manuscript, ignoring Eriri's blushing face, and began to appreciate it on the spot.

"I didn't know Eriri had a hobby of drawing! Is this a drawing of me? Then this is Eriri herself. What are these two doing?"

A single question brought Eriri's tsundere nature to its peak. Completely enraged, Eriri bared her little fangs and lunged forward, trying to snatch the manuscript from Byakuya's hand.

"Hey! Stop! Eriri, stop!"

"Don't bite! Oh my god, Eriri, are you a dog or something?"

"Alright, I've given it back to you. Now let go of my mouth, Eriri! I'm giving you back the manuscript paper. Now open your little mouth!"

......

After a fierce struggle, Bai Ye clutched his right hand, which had several teeth marks from being bitten, and looked speechlessly at Eriri, who was guarding his manuscript like a puppy protecting its food.

Bai Ye pursed his lips. It's just a drawing of a little prince, what's there to hide? His two kids at home draw him every day! Even so, Bai Ye was still very curious about Eriri's drawing of him and her notebook.

However, Eriri wouldn't let me see it, so I couldn't just take it from her, otherwise this little golden retriever would get angry and bite me again.

Having suppressed his curiosity, Bai Ye sighed with a touch of admiration. It turns out that Eriri started drawing doujinshi at such a young age. No wonder she will become the well-known Kashiwagi Eri in the industry in the future!

Eriri carefully folded all her manuscript papers, hid them in the cabinet, and locked it. Only then did she come to her senses and look at Byakuya. Seeing the teeth marks she had left on Byakuya's arm, Eriri wanted to apologize but didn't know how to start.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.

Does Eriri really like anime and manga culture?

"that..."

Ultimately, the awkward atmosphere was broken by a question from Bai Ye.

When Eriri heard Byakuya ask her if she liked anime, and recalled how she was looked down upon and bullied at school because she liked anime, she didn't know how to respond.

Perhaps sensing Eriri's cautiousness, Byakuya got up, went to Eriri's bookshelf, picked up a light novel, and placed it in front of her.

"Does Eriri usually enjoy reading light novels like this?"

Seeing that Byakuya had found evidence, Eriri decided to give up and nodded to Byakuya, admitting that she liked anime and manga.

"That's right, the book you have in your hand is The Dragon King's Work, my favorite author, Byakuya-sensei's new work, and it's illustrated by my most admired author, Eromanga-sensei. You probably don't understand what I'm saying, do you? Anyway, someone like you who's into social life definitely wouldn't like this kind of stuff."

Hearing the little girl's somewhat resentful tone, and seemingly still not quite understanding, Bai Ye smiled pleasantly and asked Eriri:

"So what did you just say you like the most?"

"Of course it's my favorite teacher, Bai Ye. You're so close, how could you not hear me clearly... um?"

Seeing Eriri suddenly realize what she was saying halfway through her sentence, Bai Ye wished he had a camera right now to capture Eriri's stunned expression.

"Hahahaha! Little Eriri finally realized what's going on!"

“You…you…you!”

Once she realized what was happening, Eriri suddenly pointed her little finger at Byakuya, speechless with shock.

"You're Teacher Bai Ye?"

"Eri, you've been calling me Byakuya for so many days now, have you ever seen me with any other name?"

Bai Ye was speechless. It had been three or four days since he rescued Eriri from the bullying, and this silly little girl was only now realizing what was happening. Oh no, if he hadn't said anything, this silly little girl probably wouldn't have realized it until graduation and asked him a question.

"But didn't Teacher Baiye debut five years ago? If it really is you, then you've been writing since the first grade of elementary school, right?"

"That's right!"

Byakuya nodded proudly, then took out his flip phone and showed Eriri the content of his conversation with the editor.

After seeing this substantial evidence, Eriri finally believed that Byakuya was Byakuya.

I'm sure Eriri got excited right away.

"I never imagined you were actually Teacher Baiye! I thought you were a social butterfly who didn't like anime. Oh, right, since you're Teacher Baiye, you must know Teacher Eromanga, right? Could you tell her I'm a fan of hers and I really admire her drawing skills? And..."
