"Yeah, I'm a content Content Creator now. I basically post one video a day to boost my popularity and earn some extra money."

Lingmeng nodded, readily admitting it.

To be honest, although Ratatoskr would give her 500,000 yen a month as agreed, for some reason, Lingmeng always felt like she was being kept.

After being sealed away, Ratatoskr took care of all her things, including her ID card and bank cards. To avoid continuing this feeling of being kept, Lingmeng decided to support herself. She registered an account on a video website and became Content Creator).

Thanks to her chaotic experience on Bilibili in her previous life, Lingmeng quickly became a well-known Content Creator on the site, earning a considerable income each month.

As for the 500,000? Lingmeng plans to deposit it all in the bank and use it when needed.

The website generates a decent monthly income, plus the 500,000 yen from Ratatoskr. This means that Lingmeng has finally left behind her impoverished life and stepped into the world of capitalism!

Simply put, she became a rich woman...

Thinking about this, Lingmeng felt a little smug.

"Is that so?"

Although he was curious why Lingmeng would work as a content creator when she could earn 500,000 yen a month, he didn't dwell on it as it was Lingmeng private matter.

[Zhongsheng: "I might write two or three chapters of slice-of-life scenes before moving on to the main storyline. I hope you won't mind."]

Chapter Two: Going to School?

"I can't control what you do as a Content Creator, but you have to tell me when you usually watch videos and what you typically eat."

Putting Lingmeng's identity Content Creator out of his mind, Shido inquired about her daily routine.

"Waaah..."

Lingmeng gently placed her index finger on her lips, thought for a moment, and then answered.

"I probably go to bed around 4 a. m.? As for food, I just make myself some instant noodles."

"What!?"

Shido frowned and spoke loudly.

"Are you cultivating immortality?! Staying up so late, you might die of a sudden illness! And aren't you good at cooking? Then why are you eating instant noodles every day?"

Shido thought Lingmeng's huge reaction was a bit of an overreaction.

"Relax, relax! Staying up late and eating instant noodles is a basic skill for otaku! Besides, I'm an elf, how could I possibly die so easily?"

Even so, haven't you gone too far?

Lingmeng waved her hand casually, but Shido thought that wasn't a valid reason.

To be honest, since becoming a spirit, Lingmeng's physical abilities have been exceptionally good. Even when she was sealed away, she was still far superior to her former otaku self.

So going to bed at 4 a. m. is a piece of cake.

As for why Lingmeng doesn't cook for herself, the reason is simple: she also needs to watch anime, play games, and edit videos! Where would she find the time to cook? Isn't instant noodles, which can be made in three minutes, more appealing?

It is worth mentioning--

Over the past month, Lingmeng has discovered something particularly frustrating.

A few days ago, when she was looking for anime to watch on her Bilibili account's watchlist, she accidentally discovered an anime that she was very interested in at the very end of her list.

The anime didn't have a cover, and no matter how many times I clicked on it, the interface didn't do anything.

All that can be seen is the name "Date A Live" and its description, which is mostly obscured.

The barrier's contents are roughly something like, "Ordinary high school student Shido Itsuka somehow possesses the ability to seal away spirit girls--"

Upon seeing these things, especially the name "Shido Itsuka," Lingmeng felt an immediate sense of unease.

If she guessed correctly, the world she was in now was the world of the anime "Date A Live".

Most importantly, I think I've seen this before?

Although she had no memory of it, Lingmeng had a strong sense of familiarity with it, as if she had quite liked it before she transmigrated.

Besides, if Lingmeng really hadn't watched it, she wouldn't have added it to her watchlist.

Therefore, this series of illogical events can only be explained in one way: --

It seems that my memories have been tampered with by someone else.

As for who it is? No need to even think about it, it's definitely Xier Ya's brat!

After that, Lingmeng started searching on Baidu for all information about Date A Live, but all she got were 404 errors.

In that instant, Lingmeng to herself, "Xier Ya really went all out this time!"

Although I don't understand why she did this, the fact that even the all-powerful Baidu didn't work means that she really couldn't find it.

The thought of this made Lingmeng feel a surge of unease.

Not only did she arbitrarily alter her own memories, but she also completely covered up an entire incident related to Date A Live. What on earth is that Xier Ya trying to do?

If she still had her memories of the Date A Live world, would she be in this pathetic state, being easily won over by others? She would have been living a carefree life long ago, relying on her memories of the original story!

The more Ayame thought about it, the Lingmeng became, and she started cursing Xier Ya in her heart again.

(Xier Ya: "Achoo--")

Although he didn't understand why Lingmeng suddenly had such a scary expression, Shido decided to give her a piece of his mind regarding Lingmeng recent habits.

"Lingmeng, I think you've been too indulgent lately. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it!"

Looking at Lingmeng with a serious expression, Shido said this.

"So you'll still go to school with me and Tohka, right? Kotori has already completed the enrollment procedures. You'll start school tomorrow!"

It was Kotori who suggested that Lingmeng go to school, with the aim of giving Lingmeng and Shido more time to spend together.

At first, Shido felt it was unnecessary, so he refused.

However, upon seeing Lingmeng's relaxed attitude towards life, Shido immediately changed his mind.

"Huh? Shido, are you kidding me? Why should I, a spirit and college student, accompany a high school student like you to school?"

Looking at Shido with surprise, Lingmeng refused.

Just kidding, she was a top student who graduated from a first-class university in her previous life. Suddenly asking her to go back to high school is just too much.

More importantly, playing video games and watching anime are much more fun than going to school. If I go to school, wouldn't that mean my leisure time will be halved?!

"Refusal denied!"

Shido replied without fear.

"Lingmeng, if you keep going like this, you'll really become a shut-in!"

In response, Lingmeng simply scratched her head in annoyance and said something.

"Ugh, with that tone of voice, are you my mother? I absolutely will not go to school!"

Lingmeng patted her thigh and shouted firmly.

"Real?"

"Real!"

"No matter what happens?"

"No matter what happens!"

Seeing that Lingmeng had made up her mind, Shido could only sigh helplessly, and then decided to unleash his ultimate move!

"Even if Shiori-chan stops going to school because of Lingmeng, and never appears again in this lifetime, is that the same?"

"..."

At that moment, Lingmeng fell silent.

She genuinely didn't expect Shido to threaten her with the adorable Shiori-chan; it was utterly despicable.

But this happens to be the most effective way to change one's mind.

In order to prevent Shiori-chan from disappearing, after a series of internal struggles, Lingmeng finally lowered her head in surrender.

"Waaaaah, you actually used Shiori-chan to threaten her, Shido, don't you have any conscience?"

Pretending to cry, Lingmeng spoke in a tearful voice, indicating that she accepted it.

"Ah, okay, I'll go, alright? So Shido, please don't seal Shiori away!"

Seeing Lingmeng's attitude completely change, Shido smiled with satisfaction.

Although I felt that my actions were somewhat despicable, since they achieved my goal, I had no other choice.

"Then get up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Kotori will send someone to give you your school uniform. After that, you can go to school and get a formal introduction, and then you can officially enroll."

As Shido spoke, Lingmeng simply nodded in agreement.

After Shido finished speaking, he planned to leave.

"Well then Lingmeng, I'll be going now--"

But just as Shido was about to leave, he was grabbed by Lingmeng.

"Um?"

Shido turned his head in confusion, only to see Lingmeng smiling broadly as she spoke.

"Don't leave so soon! Since you're already here, why don't you play a game with me for a bit?"

"Playing games?"

"Yes, this is it."

After nodding, Lingmeng immediately took a disc from the bedside drawer and waved it in front of Shido.

"This is--!"

When Shido saw the words written on the disc, his eyes suddenly widened.

Why? Because the game Lingmeng was playing had tormented Shido for a whole week.

Kotori created this bishoujo game specifically for Shido so he could successfully win over the spirits.

Fall in Love, My Little Shido!

Kotori clearly stated that "there's only one copy of this game, and it wasn't released to the public." So why does Lingmeng have one?

As if she could read Shido's mind, Lingmeng simply gave a mischievous smile.

"I asked Kotori to lend me this to play with. Shido you played with it before and gave it a good review, so I'm planning to give it a try."

(What kind of extremely high praise is this!? It's clearly a bad review!? (ノ)

In his mind Shido angrily slammed the table down, grumbling in a fit of rage.

Shido dismissed Kotori's distorted statement as utter nonsense.

Even so, Shido managed to suppress his emotions and forced a smile.

"So Lingmeng, what do you want me to do by staying here?"

"You've played this game, right? I'd like to ask you to help me pass the level when I choose the wrong option."

"Forehead..."

So, does that mean I have to watch that awful plot all over again?

The thought of this made Shido's lips twitch slightly.

Although he was still very reluctant, he couldn't refuse since Lingmeng had asked him for help.

So, with the determination that people's eyes and souls would suffer another devastating blow, he agreed.

"Oh, thank you."

After thanking Shido, Lingmeng inserted the disc into the console, and the game interface slowly appeared.

----------------This is the dividing line for the transfer time

"What... what kind of garbage game is this?!"

After playing for several hours, Lingmeng finally completed all the game's content with Shido's help.
