Before answering the question about the gap between us, may I ask why you are so fixated on the so-called genius?

The girl hesitated upon hearing this.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that I was the one who wanted to ask Bai Ye about her secret first, so I didn't hide it anymore and spoke directly.

"I'm sure you've been curious about why I fainted before!"

"Isn't it just congenital heart disease?" The girl replied, "I'm not curious at all."

Of course, although Bai Ye already knew about the girl's physical condition, he did not interrupt her narration.

But then the girl continued.

"That was actually the beginning of my obsession with the title of genius. I've always loved thinking since I was a child. The saying is, 'When God closes a door, he opens a window.'"

God again?

"Congenital heart disease! I'm sure you've heard of it before! That's the door that God closed for me, making me different from ordinary people."

Little Saint: "?"

When talking about her congenital condition, the little girl's eyes seemed to dim a bit.

"However, I will not complain about God's injustice or anything like that."

I don't know what this has to do with my God, but it seems that Little Saint is indeed not male...

Completely unaware of the incredibly active thoughts running through Bai Ye's mind, the girl simply continued speaking.

"This is all because I am a genius. Because many famous geniuses in history have had shortcomings in other areas."

"That's what my father told me, and that's what I've always believed."

"Until I met you today!"

After saying that, the girl once again showed a curious expression.

"Could you please satisfy my small curiosity? Why is it that you can easily surpass me and get first place without even attending classes or reviewing? What exactly is the difference between us?"

Is that so?

After hearing the girl's description, Bai Ye understood.

Then he gave the girl a meaningful smile.

"Young lady, you want to know the difference between us, don't you?"

"it's actually really easy!"

Under the curious gaze of Sakayanagi Arisu, Byakuya pulled out a piece of white paper and a pen from somewhere.

"I'll just give you a simple math problem, and once you answer it, you'll know the difference between us!"

"Oh?"

Byakuya's method of determining the difference piqued Sakayanagi Arisu's interest.

I can't help but wonder what kind of math problem Bai Ye will give me.

Is it an Olympiad math problem? Or a calculus problem? Or perhaps some age-old problem that no one has ever solved yet!

With a look of curiosity on the girl's face, she saw Bai Ye write a few simple strokes on a piece of white paper in his hand and then hand it to Sakayanagi Arisu.

"this..."

Are you mocking me?

However, when Sakayanagi Arisu saw the question set by Byakuya, her expectant face instantly turned into anger.

And it's the kind of person you can't coax.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Bai Ye's questions were too difficult. If they were truly some kind of century-old problem, the girl might have been even more excited.

But... the key point is that the paper with the questions Bai Ye gave only had the following simply written on it.

1+1=?

Five large characters.

This made the girl, who had taken Bai Ye's note with a serious expression and was even ready to take on some challenge, suddenly feel like a clown, as if she had been full of expectations.

No wonder the girl was angry.

But when faced with the girl's questioning expression, Bai Ye still wore that meaningful smile.

Bai Ye simply raised his hand slightly.

He gestured to the girl, "You answer the question first, and I'll tell you after you've answered."

And so, as if sulking, Sakayanagi Arisu wrote a big "2" at the "?" mark that Byakuya had marked.

"Satisfied with the game you played to fool me? If so, then reveal your real question!"

I was still somewhat indignant after writing about the girl.

However, Bai Ye did not present the girl with another question as she had wished.

Instead, he shook his head, denying the girl's supposedly foolish words.

Then, out of nowhere, he pulled out a red ballpoint pen and drew a big question mark on the girl's answer.

Bai Ye's actions made the girl frown, not understanding what Bai Ye meant.

"Let me confirm first, this so-called 1+1 problem you gave me should be a proper math problem and not some kind of brain teaser, right?"

The girl asked Bai Ye for confirmation again and again.

"Yes!"

Bai Ye nodded.

"Then what do you mean?"

Pointing to the large question mark on the white paper, the girl became increasingly suspicious that Bai Ye had really been toying with her all along.

However, Bai Ye spoke again.

"If you don't believe me, you can use anything to verify what 1+1 actually equals."

With a mysterious expression on his face, Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the girl's surprised look.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu found Bai Ye's words quite incomprehensible.

What's so great about verifying 1+1?

And so the girl took out her phone right in front of Bai Ye.

I opened the calculator, then angrily typed in 1+1 and then =.

But...

Something unexpected happened to the girl.

The number displayed on the girl's phone calculator was a large "3".

Faced with this stark reality, the girl did suspect that there was something wrong with the calculator on her phone.

Do not believe.

This was the first thought that came to the girl's mind.

Then the girl opened the search engine on her phone.

Although smartphones are not yet widespread in Japan, the girl in the picture clearly already has the latest model.

The system is fully functional, including a search engine that provides internet access for young girls.

The girl searched for 1+1= on the webpage.

However, the only answer we got was 3.

The girl still didn't believe it.

She believed that Bai Ye must have secretly used some software to hack her phone.

Sakayanagi Arisu believed that Byakuya, as a genius, was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

So the girl casually picked up one of the apples from a basket that someone had left on the table in the infirmary.

Then he took out another one with his other hand.

It was placed right in front of Bai Ye, and Bai Ye was smugly showing off, "You can't fake this ironclad reality, can you?"

The girl was extremely proud, but she was dumbfounded when she put the two apples together.

"one two Three!"

"???"

The apple the girl placed on the table instantly turned into three.

However, right after the girl took one, the apple turned back into one.

The girl tried several more times, and finally even took a bite out of each of the three apples that appeared, only to find that they were all real apples.

This made the girl believe in the reality before her eyes.

"How can this be?"

The young girl truly felt the collapse of her worldview this time.

"How on earth did you do that?"

This time, Byakuya did not answer Sakayanagi Arisu's question. He still looked at the small girl with that meaningful smile.

"Isn't this what you wanted to know about the gap between us?"

Bai Ye's words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking the girl's heart hard.

"And another thing! Didn't you just keep saying that God closes the door on you or something?"

"I'll tell you now."

Bai Ye looked delighted as he said this.

"Be thankful, young lady! God has now demolished your house, including the doors, windows, and walls, as if it were an unfinished building."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye pressed a seven of clubs card in his right hand straight into Sakayanagi Arisu's heart.

"This is?"

The moment she felt herself being absorbed by the cards, an unprecedented sense of ease welled up in the girl's heart.

Along with this came the girl's feeling of immense power within her body, a power that seemed capable of destroying the entire building she was in with a mere wave of her hand.

Immediately following this was a strange, special message that I had become an angel that appeared in my mind.

The girl felt relieved the moment she learned Bai Ye's true identity.

It's laughable that I had previously compared myself to this person, considering them a genius. But I never imagined that this person would actually be the very God I had mentioned before, the one who could arbitrarily close doors and windows to geniuses.

No wonder Bai Ye wanted to see the difference in a simple 1+1 problem. It turns out that the so-called difference meant that he still had to calculate, while Bai Ye could just say whatever number he wanted.

Thinking of this, the girl looked at her master, who had been with her for three years at school... no, she should say, her master for the rest of her life, with a resentful gaze.

"Holy Child! Isn't it interesting for you to come to an ordinary Shuchiin School in the mortal realm and make fun of me and Kaguya, two ordinary girls?"

"That's right!"

Bai Ye shamelessly nodded in confirmation of the girl's complaint.

Even Sakayanagi Arisu, who had just become a familiar to Byakuya and wanted to scold her master for his perverse sense of humor, was at a loss for words when Byakuya showed such shamelessness.

"Oh! Forget it!"

"Who made me your dependent now?"

Arisu sighed.

However, at least I won't have to worry about my heart failing me and dying at some point!

Although the girl seemed somewhat resentful about being abducted by Bai Ye and becoming one of his familiars, she was actually quite happy inside.

Even when she recalled the words she had said to Bai Ye earlier, such as "God closes doors and opens windows" to her, the girl felt a little embarrassed.

After all, who knew that God really existed and was right in front of them listening to their complaints!
