Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Indeed, this kind of fruit does not exist in my world. This method of teleporting something out of thin air, as well as this faint energy, really does seem to come from another world.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: It's actually real!

In an ordinary apartment in Tokyo, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in surprise at the raspberry in her hand. She could not sense any energy from it, but she was genuinely astonished by a raspberry appearing in her hand out of nowhere. She even viciously pinched her own thigh to make sure she was not dreaming. Mm, it was smooth, felt nice, and hurt like hell!

Meme Lord: Looks like everyone received it. This is only the most basic stuff.

Meme Lord: Logically, I should give something better for our first meeting, but I do not have much on hand right now. How about this? I'll start a group livestream.

Livestreaming was also one of the Chat Group's built-in functions. Li Yue had studied it back when he was the only member in the group, and he could now use it proficiently.

Meme Lord has started a livestream. Come watch! Ding—you started a livestream and received 500 points!

Of course, that did not exist. Li Yue's Chat Group had no setting that awarded points; it was just an apparently ordinary chat group.

"Yo~ Hello, you two. I'm Li Yue, the owner of the Silly Chat Group. My nickname is Meme Lord, and I'm currently fishing at the docks."

Li Yue smiled as he greeted the direction of the camera floating in midair.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It looks like an ancient Chinese society, with quite a significant difference in era from the Human World in my own world.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Wait, everyone around you is wearing ancient clothes. Why are you wearing a floral shirt?

After looking at Li Yue, Aizen immediately began observing his surroundings. Kasumigaoka, on the other hand, instantly spotted the key point. Li Yue's clothes were utterly out of place among the people around him. Against this ancient backdrop, he was dressed entirely like a modern man.

"Because I'm not from this world. I came from twenty-first-century Earth and accidentally transmigrated here. I currently live in a country called Liyue in this world, so I suppose I'm an outsider."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Traveling from Earth to another world? What an interesting situation.

"There's something even more interesting than transmigration. It concerns another meeting gift I'm planning to give you two."

Li Yue's lips curled crookedly.

"Shiyu-senpai, Captain Aizen, have you heard of quantum mechanics?"

Aizen-sama, if you do not reject me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my godfather!

When in doubt, blame quantum mechanics!

"In the quantum realm, particles from different worlds may become quantum-entangled. This can cause information from different worlds to be transmitted into another world through quantum entanglement, where it is then expressed in a different form. Thus, information from another world can appear in a given world."

Li Yue leaned back in his folding chair with one leg crossed over the other, his hands folded atop his knee. Putting on the air of a big shot, he kept explaining to the camera. Tian Shu, who heard him from nearby, was utterly baffled. What was wrong with Li Yue? Why was he suddenly talking to thin air? And why could Tian Shu not understand a single word he was saying?

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So that's why you know my name?

Yes, yes, yes. Just take what I say seriously. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!

"That's right. Fortunately, I happened to come into contact with this quantum entanglement, so I know most of the information about your worlds, especially information related to the two of you."

"As a meeting gift, let me briefly tell you what I know about you two. Perhaps some of the information I know even includes futures you have yet to experience."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: An interesting theory. Then, Li Yue-kun, please tell us what you know about us.

Other worlds alone were enough to pique Aizen's curiosity. In the unchanging Soul Society, he had been far too bored. Now that he finally had some new amusement, Li Yue was claiming to know information about him as well. Naturally, that interested him even more.

"Then let's start with Captain Aizen."

Li Yue looked at Aizen.

"Aizen Sousuke, the strongest genius Bleach in the Soul Society for a thousand years. Your Zanpakuto, Illusion, can completely hypnotize anyone. On the surface, you are a captain of the Gotei 13, but while serving as a Bleach, you have also been researching Hollowfication. You successfully took control of Hueco Mundo and have been studying how to break the boundary between Bleach and Hollows. Through experiments, you caused many Bleach to undergo Hollowfication and allowed many Hollows to evolve into Arrancar. And the reason you did all this was to reach a higher realm! As for your later goals—things like the Royal Guard and the Soul King—I won't go into them. It would take a very, very long time to explain."

"What do you think, Captain Aizen? Was I right?"

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It seems Li Yue-kun truly does know information about me. It makes one curious about how this so-called quantum entanglement was formed.

While shocked by what Li Yue had said, Aizen grew even more curious. The quantum entanglement Li Yue spoke of allowed one to learn information about other worlds. Since Li Yue could know information about other worlds, then Aizen could also use this method to learn about other worlds—such as the world Li Yue came from. He was extremely curious about the power called "Elemental Power" contained within the raspberry in his hand.

"I don't know how quantum entanglement is formed either. After all, unlike you, Captain Aizen, I'm not a genius researcher. I'm just an ordinary person."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Being able to come into contact with quantum entanglement, and possessing a Chat Group capable of connecting to other worlds, already makes Li Yue-kun far from ordinary.

Envy. Aizen, who pursued a higher realm, experienced envy for the first time. The Chat Group and quantum entanglement represented entirely new knowledge and entirely new possibilities. Why had he not received such luck?

"Thank you for the compliment, Captain Aizen. Honestly, I envy you too. As the representative of Special Reiatsu among the Five Great Special Forces of the Soul Society, you possess the strongest Reiatsu, an incredibly intelligent mind, and exceptional research ability. Combined with Illusion's unbeatable hypnotic powers, if not for plot armor, I can't even imagine how you would lose! What a shame."

Five Great Special Forces? Lose?

Behind his black-rimmed glasses, Aizen's eyes narrowed slightly. Li Yue's words directly revealed two important pieces of information. First, he was the representative of Reiatsu among the Five Great Special Forces, possessing the strongest Reiatsu. Aizen was supremely confident in that; even Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Reiatsu was inferior to his. Who were the other four, then? What did they represent? And that word, "lose"—did it mean he would lose in the future?

He would actually lose in the future? And because of this so-called "plot armor"? In other words, he would only lose due to some external factor. Otherwise, he would win in the end.

His thoughts raced endlessly, but on the surface, Aizen continued speaking in the Chat Group.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Oh? Li Yue-kun knows my goals and experiences, yet instead of feeling Wrath and disgust, you find it regrettable?

"The Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo—the three realms created by the Soul King—are controlled by the Five Noble Clans. Put bluntly, the three realms are merely worlds controlled by the Soul Society's nobles. Everything exists so they can enjoy stable lives, and the Gotei 13 are merely violent tools the nobles use to preserve their authority. There has never been any justice in them. So, I don't think what Captain Aizen has done is worth feeling Wrath or disgust over. Of course, in the eyes of certain Partners of Justice, Captain Aizen may be evil. But as for me, I have only one thing to say!"

Li Yue's expression tightened, turning solemn.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: And what is Li Yue-kun's evaluation?

Li Yue directly dropped to one knee, spread both arms, and wore an expression of yearning.

"Yue has drifted through half his life, lamenting only that he had never met a worthy master. If Lord Aizen does not reject me, Yue is willing to acknowledge you as his godfather!"

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: ...

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So are you going to say next, "A man born between heaven and earth cannot remain under another's heel for long"?

Li Yue glanced at Kasumigaoka's message and continued speaking.

"As for the other information about Godfather's world, I'll organize it later and upload the complete version to the group files. Now, let's talk about Shiyu-senpai."

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: He ignored it!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Captain Aizen was somewhat speechless. He had inexplicably gained an adopted son. And as a Bleach who had lived for several centuries, he knew a little about Human World history. Did Li Yue really think he did not know Lu Bu had said that line? No one understood the Three Kingdoms better than the Japanese.jpg

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You call me senpai. Does that mean you used to be a student at Toyosaki Academy before transmigrating?

Kasumigaoka watched Li Yue and Aizen converse. They seemed to have said a lot, yet also nothing at all, because she could not understand any of it. Soul Society, Bleach, Soul King—she understood none of those terms. But now, Li Yue calling her senpai had piqued her interest.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: But I don't remember Toyosaki Academy having an exchange student from **. Could Li Yue-kun be a student from another school?

Li Yue, who had forcibly acknowledged a godfather, sat back down. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he began introducing her directly.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, pen name Kasumi Utako, an ordinary light novel writer. Her work, 'Rhythm of the Lover,' had dismal sales at first and nearly got canceled. After a junior blogger recommended it, sales began steadily rising, and it later became a minor hit. Because of that, she fell for that junior and began pursuing him. After all sorts of seductive advances, however, she was still dumped by him and became a love loser."

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You said I'll become a love loser!?

The exclamation mark reflected Kasumigaoka Utaha's far-from-calm mood. From that sentence, Li Yue also determined that the plot on Kasumigaoka Utaha's side had already begun. She had already fallen for Akise Tomoya and might even have been sweet-talked into helping him write scenarios.

"That's right. You'll lose, and you'll lose badly. You'll sell your charms in every way possible and wholeheartedly help him, yet you'll still fail in the end. He'll choose someone else instead of you. You'll lie alone in your apartment, crying and throwing a tantrum. Boo-hoo, so pitiful."

Crack—

In her apartment, Kasumigaoka Utaha snapped the pen in her hand.

After waiting for a long time, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not reply. Yet Li Yue's smile only kept growing. Shiyu-senpai's expression must be wonderful right now. Hehehe~~ How delightful!

At that moment, the fishing rod he had left unattended suddenly moved. Li Yue reached out, grabbed it, and sharply raised the rod, directly hauling up a Pufferfish.

Under Tian Shu's envious gaze from nearby, Li Yue removed the fish and placed it in his fish basket. He cast the rod again, set it in place, then plopped back down onto the folding chair, facing the camera.

"As for the rest of the information about Shiyu-senpai's world, I'll organize it and upload it to the group files later. You'll definitely find it super interesting after you read it."

So satisfying. Spoiling things really was this satisfying!

Does Aizen also like slice-of-life romance anime?

Meme Lord uploaded a new file. Meme Lord uploaded a new file.

Meme Lord: I've uploaded the general intelligence about the worlds where Godfather and Shiyu-senpai live. You two can download and read it yourselves.

Following the usual routine, Li Yue uploaded the anime he remembered of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" and "Bleach." The two soon downloaded them. Since there was no such thing as internet speed here, all downloads were instantaneous.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky downloaded a group file. Fat Woman in Black Stockings downloaded a group file.

What surprised Li Yue was that the two files had been downloaded two times for "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" and zero times for "Bleach."

In other words, Aizen had not downloaded Bleach. He had downloaded Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend instead. What, did Lord Aizen also enjoy slice-of-life romance anime?

Just a few seconds later, a new message popped up.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Li Yue was delighted and immediately followed up.

Meme Lord: Senpai, it's completely possible!

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: How dare Akise Tomoya... And I actually lost to Kato Megumi? Tch... How irritating!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: How should I put it? It feels rather boring. This should be what the lives of ordinary people in the Human World are like.

Meme Lord: Naturally, Shiyu-senpai's world would be boring to Godfather. It's only an ordinary world, while Godfather is a great figure who draws his blade with godlike calm because there are no women in his heart. It would be strange if you found the lives of ordinary people interesting.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

It seemed Li Yue was determined to acknowledge him as godfather. Aizen was quite helpless.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So Li Yue-kun is interested in this sort of content?

Meme Lord: No, for an ordinary person like me, it's pretty boring too. The only reason I persisted through the entire plot was Shiyu-senpai's black stockings and all the fanservice she gave us. She really knew what she was doing, especially that hotel plotline. I hated that I couldn't kick away that glasses-wearing brat and take his place! What he can do, I can do too!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

That old saying was not supposed to mean that, was it?

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I'm sorry for merely being an ordinary character, then. So Eriri was the one who came up with my Fat Woman in Black Stockings nickname? Very good. I'll remember that Blonde Flat-Chested Love Loser.

Meme Lord: So where are you in the timeline right now, senpai? Have you already started making the game?

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: We held a meeting in the multimedia classroom yesterday. He asked me to help make the game, but I did not agree at the time. Today, he invited me to meet him at a café and said he would convince me to join the game's production.

In her apartment, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and began packing her things. Originally, she had been quite happy to receive Akise Tomoya's invitation to the café. But after reading the plot, she understood that it was not a private invitation. Akise Tomoya had invited several people at once to keep promoting his so-called passionate dream of making a game.

After the entire plot was over, he did not even create some groundbreaking game or great masterpiece. Instead, he entered a relationship with Kato Megumi, leaving her and that blonde, flat-chested, twin-tailed love loser sobbing miserably on the sidelines.

Though she firmly believed she would not lose or cry, why should she?

She did not completely believe the files Li Yue had uploaded, but she believed more than half of them. After all, the existence of other worlds had already proven true. So what she needed to do next was verify whether Akise Tomoya had really invited three people at once.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I'm going to verify it. If I confirm that Akise Tomoya really is only using me to make a game, then I'll make him understand properly that I am not a tool for him to pick up girls!

After sending the message, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly packed up and left her apartment. She was going to see exactly how many people Akise Tomoya had invited.

Meme Lord: Oho~ Looks like Glasses Boy's senpai stock won't rise after all. Tsk tsk tsk, I really am such a great benevolent person!

If you transmigrated into Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, you had to steal the protagonist's girl. It had become an international formula. Who told Akise Tomoya to be so irritating? Though Li Yue had not transmigrated into Saekano's world, he could still steal the girl from afar!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Unfortunately, I do not really understand these mundane details of ordinary people's lives.

Meme Lord: Naturally. Godfather is a man destined for great things. How could such trivial matters possibly enter Godfather's eyes? Speaking of which, Godfather, aren't you going to look at the information about your own world?

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Naturally I will. I merely looked at Miss Kasumigaoka's world first out of curiosity about other worlds. I did not expect it to be nothing more than the life of ordinary humans.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky downloaded a group file.

Because what Li Yue uploaded were his memories, downloading them granted memories rather than making one watch an anime episode by episode. Thus, Aizen instantly finished the hundreds of episodes of "Bleach" upon receiving the memories.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I see. Ichigo Kurosaki, so this is how I lost. And the Soul King actually had such thoughts. The Royal Guard watching over the Soul King, and the Wandenreich hidden in the shadows... It seems I had underestimated this world before. This world has become interesting as well.

Meme Lord: Looks like Godfather has found a new interest. This time, you probably won't have thoughts of giving up evolution, right?

The reason Aizen lost was because he gave up evolving himself, which was why he had been sealed away. But now that he understood the truth of the entire world, he naturally would not have such thoughts again.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: More accurately, from the moment I joined this Chat Group, I would no longer have such thoughts. This Chat Group symbolizes infinite possibilities. Compared to my world, the upper limit of this Chat Group is clearly far higher. As one who seeks the highest realm, I will only pursue endless evolution!

Meme Lord: Good, good, good. Just as expected of Godfather. That's how it should be. By the way, when you evolve, could you pay attention to your appearance? Before completely fusing with the Hōgyoku, you were obviously quite handsome. But when you fought Ichigo at the end, you looked really ugly—like some huge moth. Ugly as hell!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Meme Lord: Godfather, your coolest moment was when you left the Soul Society through the Senkaimon, crushed your glasses, slicked your hair back, and declared, "I shall stand above the heavens!" The Espada's fashion sense was also mostly excellent afterward. So please, Godfather, promise me you'll maintain your image!

Inside the barracks, Aizen, who had been holding a brush and preparing to write, froze. His eyebrow could not help twitching. This was the first time someone had lectured him like this over his appearance. The feeling was truly strange.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I think I understand why my nickname is Hair Gel Man in the Sky. As for my appearance, I will do my best.
