Chapter 106

Now, in order to fight the figure that was about to rush over, he habitually threw his head into the air. However, just as he positioned himself, the figure that was rushing over suddenly turned and rushed into the air. One hand plucked his head from the sky before the figure landed.

"Huh..."

The Headless Knight was gripping his greatsword with both hands and preparing to fight, froze.

The figure that landed was naturally Li Yue, who was the first to arrive. Holding the Headless Knight's head, he walked up to the group of adventurers who were also stunned Kazuma greeted Kazuma, who was carrying Megumin on his back.

"Hey, Kazuma, long time no see."

Although she had changed her clothes, Li Yue's face remained the same, so Li Yue recognized her at Kazuma glance and greeted her happily.

"Oh, senior, it's been a long time!"

Although I was initially startled when Li Yue opened Portal directly to my home, once I understood that he was quite a nice senior, I realized he was actually quite kind.

"That senior, that Headless Knight."

Although it's nice to say hello, the enemy is still around, so we need to deal with them first.

Kazuma held Megumin's bottom with one hand and pointed to the Headless Knight in the distance with the other.

"It's alright, his head is already here with me."

Li Yue raised the head in her hand.

"Hey, who are you? Give me back my head!"

A reprimanding voice came from inside the skull.

"Huh? I've already taken your head off, and you still dare to talk like that?"

Li Yue looked down at the head in her hand and revealed a sinister smile.

"W-what's wrong?"

Beldia's head began to sweat.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to deal with you!"

However, before Li Yue could even make a move, others had already come up with ideas.

"Li Yue, leave this guy to me! The aura of death emanating from him is so strong I can smell it even in Teyvat!"

With Venti's Wind Current, Hu Tao landed safely. She reached behind her back with her right hand and the Staff of Homa appeared in her hand.

"Rise!"

However, nothing happened.

"Um?"

A puzzled Hu Tao called out again.

"Rise!"

Nothing happened.

"What's going on!?"

Hu Tao looked herself over.

"Director Hu, this is not Teyvat. There is no Elemental Power in nature, so you cannot use Elemental Power here."

Zhongli Hu Tao after landing, Hu Tao didn't believe him and put her hands on her hips.

"But can't Venti use the wind? He used the wind to support us when he let us get down!"

"Hey, I'm different. I'm Wind Spirit, born with Elemental Power."

Venti is still maintaining his Wind Spirit persona.

"So that's how it is!"

Hu Tao's eyes widened.

"Does that mean I can't use Elemental Power at all in this Otherworld?"

That's right.

Zhongli nodded, and Thor, who was standing next to Zhongli, did indeed take out the Grass Cutting Gleam.

"Should we deal with this monster?"

Behind her, the lightning ring had already appeared. Looking at the lightning ring behind Thor, Hu Tao couldn't help but let out an envious cry.

"Gods can use power too? That's wonderful."

Then, she saw Raiden Ei transform into a bolt of lightning and rush forward, passing by the Headless Knight. The Headless Knight was instantly enveloped in purple lightning and then turned to ashes.

The Headless Knight's head, too, turned to ashes in Li Yue's hands, without even having a chance to scream.

"So powerful! He actually killed the Headless Knight with a single strike."

Kazuma looked at Raiden Shogun in surprise.

"And she's using a naginata, is she some kind of warlord from the Sengoku period?"

"She is the Raiden Shogun, whose title is Makoto."

As Li Yue watched the head in her hand turn to ashes, she helped introduce herself while helplessly glancing behind her.

"You guys are moving way too fast, I haven't even started playing yet."

"It's just a mere monster; there's no need for you to lift a finger."

Raiden Ei replied in a very rigid manner, while glancing at the adventurers beside Li Yue.

The adventurers cheered with delight when they saw Raiden Ei kill the Headless Knight with a single blow.

"Oh!!! The Demon King's subordinates have been defeated!"

"Wow, this is amazing! Who is this big sister? She's so strong!"

"They must be top-level adventurers, they're incredibly strong!"

The adventurers cheered, medical personnel began to aid the fallen adventurers, and the four gods began to observe the world.

Zhongli and Raiden Shogun were experiencing their first time travel, filled with curiosity.

Although Venti and Nahida had experience with time travel, they had been to the everyday world before, not this kind of fantasy world, so they were very curious about this new world.

"The style of this city is quite similar to Mondstadt."

"It's not just the style, the clothing is also somewhat similar to that of Mondstadt."

Venti observed the walls of Axel City and the adventurers' clothes, nodding in agreement. She even took out her harp and joined the group of adventurers.

"Greetings, adventurers! I am Venti, a bard from afar. Do you need my help?"

"It's alright, buddy. It's just a simple treatment. We adventurers are used to it."

"Oh? In that case, I'll play a song for you and sing it to help you relax!"

Venti began to sing and play music among the adventurers she was healing, perfectly blending into the group.

Meanwhile, Raiden Ei was surrounded by adventurers who admired her power, all looking at her with worship and praising her.

As for Zhongli, he took Nahida with him and looked around at the surrounding buildings and people's habits.

The remaining Hu Tao went to Li Yue's side.

"Ah, what a pity. Director Hu was hoping to make a cool debut, but I can't even use my Elemental Power."

"There's nothing I can do. This isn't Teyvat. People with the Vision can't use their divine power here. So, if you're not interested, I can open the door and send you back."

"Ugh~ No way! If I can't use Elemental Power, I don't have to. It doesn't matter to me. Being able to play in this Otherworld is the most important thing, not Elemental Power!"

Hu Tao quickly refused, saying, "Just kidding! Elemental Power is nothing compared to Otherworld!"

"Huh? Kazuma, am I hearing another version of myself?"

Megumin, who was lying behind Kazuma, listened to Hu Tao's voice and curiously peeked out to ask.

"Huh? How come someone else has the same voice as me?"

Hu Tao also looked at Megumin.

"You..."

"You..."

The two exchanged a glance across Li Yue and Kazuma, and then suddenly began to introduce themselves.

"I am Megumin! The future strongest archmage of the Crimson Demon Tribe! The one who has mastered Explosion Magic!"

"I am Hu Tao, the 77th Director Hu the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! Hu is the 'Hu' in 'eat and drink to your heart', but Tao is not the 'Tao' in 'naughty'!"

Two completely different flavor descriptions were given, and then the two seemed to have reached a consensus without Li Yue's knowledge, and directly extended their right hands and shook hands at the same time!

"Hey, where did you two reach an agreement in some weird way?"

Kazuma looked at Megumin's right hand resting on his shoulder and couldn't help but complain.

Although she was weak due to the lack of Magic Power, Megumin still managed to retract her right hand and began to speak in a chuunibyou (delusional) manner.

"Hmph, Kazuma, this is destiny! I've met someone here who shares my voice! This is fate!"

"That's right, that's right! I never expected there to be someone in Otherworld with the same voice as Director Hu, and someone so interesting at that! I really made the right choice coming here!"

Hu Tao also answered with her hands on her hips and a smile.

"So, when you two hear each other's voices, they sound the same as your own?"

"Yes, it's amazing."

Li Yue watched the two of them from the side. He recognized Megumin's voice as that of Takahashi Rie, while Hu Tao sounded like that of a paramecium in standard Mandarin.

So, I'm playing the Chinese version, while you two are playing the Japanese version of Original God?

Just as Li Yue was silently complaining, another private message popped up in his Chat Group. Li Yue opened the message and found that it was sent by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Pervert, can you explain what "White Album" is all about?]

[Meme Lord: Oh dear, we were discovered so quickly?]

175. Take the Teyvat crew to become adventurers

[Meme Lord: Hey senior, you found out! Can you tell me how you found out?]

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Hehe, the famous doujinshi illustrator Kashiwagi Eri has crossed over to writing light novels. This has become our publishing house's latest publicity stunt. I think it's hard not to know. That Blondie loser can't write light novels, otherwise Akise Tomoya n't have asked me to write the script.]

[Meme Lord: I never expected that the publishing house she contacted would be the one you work for.]

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Heh, so you're Touma Kazusa, the genius piano girl with long, straight black hair, right? Ogiso Setsuna, the rich blonde with twin tails, right? A-karing, the short-haired girl with little presence, right? And Kitahara Haruki, who longs to form his dream band, right? Why don't you just use your real names?]

[Meme Lord: Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it. If we used our real names, we wouldn't be able to pass the review at all, especially Eriri. Her father is a diplomat representing England. It would be terrible if she used her real name. Isn't it great that it's like this now? It passed the review, and it's even been heavily promoted. Isn't that wonderful!]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You're actually happy now?]

[Meme Lord: Just trying to make a living, senior. When the novel becomes a bestseller, I'll have the money to pay you back. Wouldn't that be great!]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings:...]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I shouldn't have had any expectations of you.]

Inside the apartment, Kasumigaoka helplessly covered her forehead. Li Yue hadn't come to her world recently, and even when she did, it was to visit Eriri. Although she felt sorry for Eriri, at least she could have some peace and quiet. But here she was waiting for.

[Meme Lord: How were the sales on the first day?]

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You still care about sales figures?]

[Meme Lord: Of course! This is all money! Besides the fee for Eriri's work, I'm going to use it. I won't be short of money to buy things in your world anymore.]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings:...]

Damn it, this idiot seems like he's going to be a permanent fixture in my world. This is giving me a headache!

[Meme Lord: What's up, senior? How are the sales? Tell me!]

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I'm not following her. If you want to know, look it up yourself!]

After saying that, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the group chat. To be honest, she felt a little depressed because she hadn't told Li Yue that this novel, based on the four-person group of Akise Tomoya, was even more popular than her "Rhythm of the Lover"! It had already been designated as a new super-popular novel by the publisher. When she heard this news, she was speechless. My personal experience is more popular than the book I wrote. What kind of situation is this!

While feeling isolated, she also comforted herself, at least the book hadn't exposed them. Li Yue had at least changed her name, and even her profession, from a genius beautiful girl light novel writer to a genius piano girl. Her name was completely different, so at least people wouldn't associate her with herself. After all, only the four members of Akise Tomoya's group knew about it; no one else knew.

After all, it's fine if people find out about Kasumigaoka; she doesn't care what others think. But if outsiders find out that Eriri is involved in making galgames, and is even an erotic manga artist, that would be terrible. Her personality would explode.

At least, based on the storyline Eriri has written so far, it's unlikely that anyone other than Eriri and herself would connect this game development team to it.
