Actually, he used to be a self-disciplined person. If he wasn't pressured to update, he felt he could guarantee at least 3 volumes a month.

But these women kept urging him to update his work, and this only intensified after he got married, causing him to develop some PTSD.

If they were men, Bai Ye wouldn't even bother with them, but there's no way around it; women are women, and seduction is still very effective.

He once sat at his computer desk typing for three whole days under certain circumstances!

All I can say is that these people are really ruthless. Exploiting him like this will eventually kill him...

Although, in some ways, it could actually be considered a rather happy way to die.

"...It seems like all the aunties really like Uncle's novels. Are they really that good? Didn't you say that his novels are not worth reading?" But before Nia and the others could refute, Hui couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

They used to say that these light novels were unnecessary to read, and she used to think so too.

But after seeing those comics yesterday, she felt that things might be different now; these things didn't seem as bad as she had imagined.

"Well, you can't tell just by listening. Why don't you go find a book and take a look? I have a lot of my old novels here, feel free to browse them~"

Bai Ye smiled and then recommended his novel to Hui An.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just thought it would be nice to gain one more fan, even though there was no guarantee of success.

...Of course, his words had a different meaning in the eyes of Erya and the others.

Here we go again; everyone's old habits have kicked in again.

"Really? Then I'll... um? Is this 'The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!' the same as that shogi novel from back then?"

Yes, you know?

"I know, quite a few people in the class are still playing shogi... Hey? I feel like I've seen that girl on the cover somewhere before?"

Looking at the cute, innocent-looking girl with pigtails on the cover, Hui couldn't help but frown and asked Shen with some confusion.

She felt like she'd seen him somewhere before...

"Should I call her Hinatsuru Ai...?"

"Oh, that's my daughter, she's ten years old this year. Didn't you find her already?"

"Oh! Right! Eh? Come to think of it, I remember this novel ended more than ten years ago, how come?"

"Uh……"

"..."xN

A troublesome problem has arisen.

Chapter 171: You put in a lot of effort yesterday~ (Please subscribe)

"Well, actually, I already knew Ai-chan's mother, Akina, back then, and we were quite close, so I wrote a novel about her. However, since she herself didn't like shogi, I couldn't really change her character, so I added a little guy in the story. Later, I married Akina and we had a daughter, and we named her 'Ai'~ so she dresses up quite similarly~"

"Is that so? But I have a feeling that this isn't just a similar outfit, it's practically like it was drawn based on her likeness~"

After hearing the man's half-truthful explanation, Hui couldn't help but nod and sigh with a smile.

She had some impression of that little girl who was like an anteater; she was very cute and lively.

However, since she seemed to only be interested in shogi, she was always playing shogi with others and hadn't really spoken to her much.

"...Well, I wanted her to look a bit like the illustration, so I dressed her up like that~"

Bai Ye coughed awkwardly, pretending that it was indeed the case.

Kyoka and the others standing nearby couldn't help but chuckle.

They knew, of course, that Bai Ye possessed a special "precognitive" ability.

But that kind of thing could never be said to a child like Hui, so this explanation seems a bit unreliable.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's look at this. It seems quite interesting~ But I don't know shogi, will it confuse me?"

However, Hui herself is not a girl who likes to dwell on things. Since her father, Bai Ye, has already said so, what else is there to say?

The only thing to worry about is that she herself knows absolutely nothing about shogi.

Although she saw that quite a few people in the class were playing it, she still felt that it was quite troublesome. She herself might not be very good at this type of game, and wondered if she would not understand it.

"Don't worry, you don't need professional knowledge of shogi to understand this book. If you did, it would discourage many people. Just read it, it's fine."

"Yes, that's right. Hey 237, let's see what kind of novel it is that makes so many people like it~ Hey, Sagiri-chan, let's read it together~"

Hearing him say that, Megumi naturally nodded happily, then winked excitedly at Sagiri.

When Sagiri heard these words, her body trembled slightly, and her expression quickly returned to calm after the initial excitement.

"No, I've already seen it."

"Then come with me to look at it some more~"

"Boring, I haven't had breakfast yet."

Sagiri's face remained expressionless, seemingly showing some disdain, but a closer look at her hands revealed that they were clenched together, indicating a degree of nervousness.

Deep down, she also wanted to go see the movie with Hui.

She had always disliked Hui.

Because she felt that Hui was a completely different person from herself, and that she was very hypocritical.

Even if he keeps coming to see her, it's really just for his own "image".

Once she succeeds, Hui will probably give up on her.

...But Hui's attitude yesterday still gave her a little hope.

She'd been looking forward to it since last night, wondering if Hui would come again today, or if she'd broken her promise and it was just something she said casually...

But I never expected it would actually come!

"I'll go make breakfast for you guys. You can stay with her and keep her company. Sagiri~ It's rare for Megumi to want to understand the fun of light novels. You're a senior in this field, so you can teach her some interesting things."

Of course, Bai Ye could see her daughter's worry.

So he quickly smiled and patted Sagiri's head, then brought her closer to Megumi, nodding to her and gesturing with a smile in his eyes.

"...Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about that. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"Yeah yeah~!"

Seeing that her father had given her a way out, Sagiri naturally understood what he meant, so she said it with a haughty air. Megumi also showed a bright smile and immediately moved next to Sagiri to start reading.

Seeing this scene gradually becoming more harmonious, Bai Ye smiled and then started walking towards the kitchen.

For breakfast, just make something simple that tastes decent and is nutritious, and that's enough.

Of course, his "passable" standard is definitely many times higher than that of the average person.

"It's rare to see this lazybones so diligent. Looks like Kyoka put in a lot of effort yesterday!"

However, seeing someone leave, and the two little ones nearby becoming engrossed in discussing the plot, the three adults gathered together again and started teasing each other.

Of course, it was Erya who brought it up; the other two weren't the type to tease others.

"You're so long-winded and talk too much nonsense. You really have nothing better to do all day."

Kyoka was naturally very unhappy and immediately complained.

However, the blush on her face looked a little unnatural.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing when a third party brings up something like this.

To be honest, she rarely showed affection to Bai Ye in front of others, let alone when someone pointed it out to her alone.

Sure enough, not only Nia, but also Nanami was secretly watching her, and the blush on her face was quite obvious.

It seems everyone already knows what happened to her before.

Really!

It's all that Ye's fault!

I told him I'd be coming down early, but he insisted on staying so late, making the atmosphere so awkward now. Is he satisfied now?

Kyoka was inwardly grumbling about the person making breakfast in the kitchen, but her face remained expressionless.

But how could such a situation be kept secret from the sisters who spend every day together?

“There are a lot of things to do every day, and a large part of that time is spent observing your movements~ But don’t worry, I didn’t observe you last night~” Nia continued to tease casually, and the last sentence seemed to be meant to put Kyoka at ease.

All he got in return was a disdainful look from Kyoka.

“Your ability isn’t limited to looking at things in real time. You can look at them whenever you want, so there’s no need to limit it to ‘last night’.”

Having spent so many years together, she certainly knew what Erya's abilities were.

Whether it's something happening now or something from the past, she can use her abilities to investigate it thoroughly, and she can look at it as many times as she wants without any problem.

It's fair to say that everything recorded here could be viewed as a film.

These sisters both loved and hated Erya's ability.

Having this ability would also protect them from threats and give them much peace of mind.

However, since Erya's personality was somewhat terrible, they also found it a bit of a headache.

She always reveals everyone's little secrets that she has discovered during her investigations, and naturally, she has also gained access to everyone's weaknesses.

Although it cannot be used on fully evolved spirits, everyone is currently in a limited spirit form situation.

Although she herself only had a portion of her spiritual power left, her powerful angelic abilities still allowed her to observe the actions of the other elves.

Therefore, apart from Bai Ye herself, no one can escape her pursuit.

Of course, it doesn't matter for Bai Ye, since he's so strong anyway.

Anyway, at most he's just flirting around outside. If he really encounters danger outside, then there's no point in her worrying.

"In that case, let me see what happened to you yesterday~ How about we just watch it here?"

"Uh! Don't, don't do anything reckless..."

However, at this moment, Nia's words made Kyoka, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly tense up, and her voice became extremely soft, just like Sagiri's before...

Well, even though we're not related by blood, we're still family, so it's normal to have some similarities.
