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

This time, Byakuya didn't directly mention Yukino's name. After all, Yukino is different from Eriri. If she heard Byakuya mention her name beforehand, she might mistake him for someone with ulterior motives.

"Little brother, aren't you going to stay and get to know Yukino? I'm planning to properly thank the person who helped my Yukino!"

With a fake smile on her face, Yukino was somewhat surprised to see Byakuya trying to leave. After all, countless boys at school wanted to get to know her and Yukino every day. Today, she had met this little brother who had helped Yukino, and he clearly had a chance, yet he wanted to leave immediately. This made Yukino, who hadn't fully matured into a cunning old fox, very curious about Byakuya.

Moreover, even putting that aside, just the fact that Byakuya, with the body of an elementary school student, could subdue an adult headmaster for half a day without showing any signs of fatigue, made Yono very interested in Byakuya.

"There's no need to get to know each other. This whole thing was just a coincidence, and I don't want to be targeted by a fox in a mask because of it."

Byakuya was playing hard to get. Knowing Haruno's personality well, Byakuya understood that if he approached her now, he would only become one of Haruno's many admirers. So, he did the opposite and pretended to run away as if he was avoiding something dirty.

She arrived at Shoko and Eriri, who had already found a bench nearby to sit down, and without even glancing at Haruno, she took the two little ones' hands and ran out of the school.

Regardless of the fact that Yukino, the little girl, stared at Byakuya with wide, curious eyes after hearing Byakuya's evaluation of her sister.

Just seeing Bai Ye avoiding her like the plague, and recalling Bai Ye's words that she was a fox wearing a mask, made Yang Nai, watching Bai Ye lead the two little girls away, suddenly grit her teeth in anger.

"Looks like this little brother is a two-timing philanderer! Yukino should stay away from this guy, or she might fall into the same trap as those two girls."

Enraged, Yang Nai began to smear Bai Ye.

After all, this was the first time Yang Nai had been humiliated by a boy since she started wearing the mask, and the boy was even an elementary school student the same age as her younger sister. This deeply etched the image of Byakuya into Yang Nai's mind, a grudge-inducing one, as she was still a middle school girl with little cunning.

However, seeing Yukino staring intently at Byakuya's back, seemingly not listening to her words at all, Haruno became even angrier.

From this perspective, Bai Ye's tactic of feigning indifference to lure the enemy was extremely effective.

Chapter Nine: The Strange Movements of the Holy Lance

"Hey! You big bad egg white night, why did you drag us away just now? I thought that older sister was very gentle and easy to get along with! And she even wanted to thank you properly."

This is Eriri's question to Byakuya after he dragged her out of the school gate.

Why can't I run faster?

"Does Eriri really want me to make friends with other girls? Typical golden retriever, always losing out! You know, those other girls are a pair of beautiful sisters!"

Bai Ye adopted a teasing tone, deliberately emphasizing the pronunciation of the words "loser dog".

"Who you want to be friends with is none of my business. I... I don't care. Besides, I'm not some loser!"

"I just felt a bit closer to that older sister named Yang Nai, so... Anyway, don't get me wrong, I... I don't like you or anything. You just saved me once, you're... you're not my Prince Charming or anything..."

Eriri, her little head overheating, started rambling incoherently again.

"As expected, this naive and innocent Eriri is just too easy to fool."

Seeing Eriri's appearance, Byakuya couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Ye wondered if this naive and innocent girl would be sold out by someone else and still have to count the money for them if he weren't around.

Oh right, no doubt about it, isn't this blonde girl in the original work the one who was manipulated by Aki Tomoya and then tricked into giving him both affection and labor? Eriri is indeed a naive and innocent savior.

With this thought in mind, Byakuya's gaze towards Eriri also transformed into one of care for disabled children.

"What kind of look is that? Don't treat me like an idiot."

"Yes, that's right, Eriri isn't stupid." Byakuya read in a praising tone.

"You...bastard, Shoko, Shirayuki bullied me again."

Eriri broke down again and finally had no choice but to complain to the gentle, spectator Shoko. Shoko, though she couldn't hear clearly, guessed what Eriri was thinking from her expression and quickly pulled out her notebook to the page she had written down beforehand.

"Byakuya must not bully Eriri-san and must get along with her."

Seeing this, Byakuya was somewhat speechless. Had Shoko already prepared in advance that he would often bully Eriri? However, speechless as he was, Byakuya still nodded in response to Shoko, indicating that he would no longer tease Eriri.

"Why does Shoko's word work so well? This is discrimination!"

Seeing Byakuya's actions, Eriri became resentful again.

"How do I make a difference? Shoko is my wife, but Eriri, you're not mine."

"I..."

"What's wrong with you? Is Eriri finally going to admit that she's one of my wings?"

"I won't... Humph! I'm ignoring you!"

The proud Eriri turned her head away, seemingly completely angry.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. The crossroads ahead is where we should part ways. Eriri, you should head back soon so your mother-in-law won't worry."

Seeing a three-way intersection ahead, Eriri couldn't maintain her tsundere demeanor any longer, and a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes. However, upon hearing Byakuya address her as his mother-in-law, Eriri almost had another tsundere episode and unleashed her twin-tail technique, "Lightning Blast Slash."

"Phew! Never mind."

Taking a deep breath, Eriri finally suppressed her pride and waved goodbye to Shoko with some reluctance.

"It's time for us to part ways now. See you tomorrow, Shoko."

Holding a small notebook with "Goodbye" written on it in her left hand, Shoko waved her other small hand in response to Eriri.

"And you, you big bad guy, see you tomorrow too!"

After saying that, Eriri gave Bai Ye a fierce look, then slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and ran home.

"Golden retriever, you loser! See you tomorrow."

Byakuya shouted something, not caring whether Eriri heard him or not, and then said goodbye to Shoko.

"Shoko, I'm leaving too. See you tomorrow."

Seeing that Byakuya was waving, Shoko also turned her notebook towards Byakuya and waved goodbye to him as well.

And so, after saying goodbye to the two little girls, Bai Ye began to head towards her home.

"I wonder if Sagiri has recovered from her steampunk state after a day of rest."

Thinking about his adopted sister along the way, Bai Ye suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the Holy Spear within his body as he passed through a small alley.

"Little Saint, what's going on?"

Bai Ye felt that the holy power of the Holy Lance within him seemed to have developed a strong hostility towards something in the alley, an impulse as if he had encountered a natural enemy and wanted to evolve and destroy it.

"This is... the aura of the underworld!"

"And the aura contained the same filthy and sinful scent as the Primordial Demon. Although it was only a faint trace, it did not escape my sense of smell."

Xiao Sheng's childish voice still carried a hint of smugness. However, upon hearing Xiao Sheng mention the Primordial Demon, Bai Ye's expression immediately turned serious.

"Does the underworld also have demons? Have they now come to the mortal realm? Are they very powerful? Can I handle them in my current state?"

Hearing Bai Ye's somewhat worried tone, Xiao Sheng burst out laughing.

"Pfft! It can't be a demon. Although I said the aura had a demonic feel to it, this aura is far too weak. Let alone you, a lower-level demon who wields the power of light, even a few ordinary people with slightly better physical abilities could probably exchange a few blows with it."

Bai Ye's expression relaxed upon hearing this. Following his senses, he walked into the alley. Ahead was a dead end, filled with only some haphazardly placed garbage. He didn't see anything unusual.

"No! There's a sound."

Bai Ye was alert when a weak, feeble voice suddenly came from the deserted alley.

"We must...escape! Gate to the mortal world, unlock!"

"Please, please save...Kouno...save...our...daughter."

"This is!"

As the sound ended, Bai Ye saw a pale blue portal suddenly open in front of him. Sensing something was wrong, Bai Ye immediately reached out to summon the Holy Lance.

"Dad! Mom!"

But to Bai Ye's surprise, the moment he reached out, a little black-haired girl with tears streaming down her face suddenly appeared from the portal and landed directly in Bai Ye's arms.

white night:"???"

"What's happening here?"

Seeing the black-haired loli suddenly appear in his arms, Bai Ye frowned in confusion. After thinking for a moment, he showed an expression of sudden realization and put his hands together in a devout gesture.

Bai Ye: "Thank you for the gifts of nature."

Little Saint: "???"

Little girl: "Waaaaah!"

Can anyone guess who this little girl is?

Chapter Ten: Adashino Benio

Bai Ye: "Thank you for the gifts of nature."

Little Saint: "???"

Perhaps he felt that he was too abstract, or perhaps he saw that the little girl only knew how to cry and ignored him, so Bai Ye also put away his mischievousness and began to seriously observe the little girl in his arms.

The little girl looked only 8 or 9 years old, with straight black-purple hair and two pink bow headbands tied to her hair. Her cute little face had two tear tracks on it because she had been crying.

Upon seeing the little girl's appearance, Bai Ye felt a sense of familiarity. However, perhaps because the little girl was too young or because she was crying, Bai Ye couldn't recognize her at a glance. But his intuition told him that this little girl must be one of the female protagonists from the crossover anime in this world.

"Little sister, don't cry. Tell your brother what happened, and he will help you solve it."

Seemingly after hearing the words of the stranger who had suddenly appeared, the little girl, who had been immersed in her own world and crying her heart out, finally came to her senses and saw Bai Ye holding her. The little girl then looked around at the environment in the alley.

"This... is it, I've returned to the real world."

"Dad! Mom! Quickly contact the Yin-Yang Hall. Please save my dad and mom!"

Once she realized her surroundings, the little girl became agitated, her voice, mixed with sobs, growing increasingly urgent. The little girl, who had been nestled obediently in Bai Ye's arms, began to struggle.

"Wait, don't panic. Are your parents in danger? Where are they now? Take me there, maybe I can help you."

Bai Ye could also tell that the little girl's parents were probably in danger and had teleported their daughter away at the most critical moment, which happened to land in his arms.

"No, you can't solve this. You must... contact... the Yin-Yang Hall."

Seemingly not believing that Bai Ye had the ability to save her parents, the little girl struggled even more fiercely in Bai Ye's arms, her voice trembling with tears.

"Wait, don't move!" In order not to miss the opportunity to gain favor with this young heroine, Bai Ye forcefully restrained the little girl who was trying to get down from his arms. Bai Ye made the little girl look at him and then used a serious tone.

"I don't know what this so-called Yin-Yang Hall you're talking about is, but I've never even heard of it before, so it must be quite a distance from here. But judging from your anxious look, your parents must be facing a very serious crisis!"

"Have you ever heard the saying 'distant water cannot quench immediate thirst'? Have you ever considered that you might miss the best time to save your parents because you're going to find that Yin-Yang Hall? Compared to that, you might as well trust me now. Don't let my age fool you; I'm very powerful."

As he spoke, Bai Ye gathered a powerful beam of light in his hand. It seemed that he was persuaded by Bai Ye's argument that distant water could not quench immediate thirst, or perhaps he was worried that his parents would not be able to hold on and die on the way to find rescue.

Feeling the incredibly warm, sun-like light emanating from Bai Ye's hand, the little girl finally began to believe him. In a weak, hesitant voice, she asked Bai Ye:

"Can you... really save my parents? The enemy is a very powerful filth, a great filth at the level of a Vasala."

Bai Ye nodded.

"You can leave it to me without worry."

Upon hearing the keywords "Basara" and "filth" from the little girl's mouth, coupled with the Yin-Yang Hall she had been mentioning, and considering the little girl's familiar appearance, Bai Ye had clearly recognized which anime's heroine she was.

"Benio Adashino, huh? I didn't expect this world to incorporate the worldview of Twin Star Exorcists. But why am I encountering yet another heroine in her childhood form?" The young boy, completely oblivious to the fact that he himself was still a child, remarked to himself.

Fortunately, he was able to encounter Benio in her childhood form and still make it in time to save Benio's parents.

Recalling Adashino Benio's obsession with avenging her parents in the original work, Byakuya felt that as long as she rescued Benio's parents, her progress in winning over the heroine would increase by one point.

As for whether they can win or not?

Just kidding. Judging from the combat power in the original Twin Star Exorcists story, it's uncertain whether even the strongest corrupted beings could reach the level of a lower-level demon, not to mention that his own power of light is extremely effective against corrupted beings.

Moreover, he still possessed the Holy Lance of Twilight, and even the Overlord's Radiance left to him by the Little Saint as a trump card. That was a powerful weapon that, after being wished upon by the Little Saint, could allow the Little Saint, the God of the Bible, to unleash his full combat power for a short period of time.

Regardless of Bai Ye's true intentions, the little girl, after hearing his assurances, finally began to believe him, albeit reluctantly. Desperate to save her parents, Xiao Hongxu disregarded the fact that she was still being held in Bai Ye's arms and immediately pulled out a white talisman with black lines drawn on it.

"Today, an unusual phenomenon has occurred, therefore, I wish to pass through the gate of Inugami. I humbly request your presence and reverence in performing this act of worship!"

"The Gate of Calamity is unlocked! So be it!"

The instant the little girl finished reciting the incantation, Bai Ye saw himself and the little girl instantly arrive in a crimson space.

It was a filthy city like ruins, with the blood-red dome reflecting a crimson light onto the dilapidated high-rise buildings.

"Is this the space that the Holy Lance has been stirring up, wanting me to purify it completely?"

Seeing the appearance of the so-called Calamity, Bai Ye also felt the Holy Spear within his body react even more strongly.
