Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

It was the third day after Erii left the Jade Eight Family.

Tachibana Masamune finally realized that something was wrong.

Erii had never been away from the Snake-Headed Eight Families for so long before.

Now, another round of serum injections has arrived, but Genjiro still hasn't brought Erii back.

Logically speaking, given Genjiro's personality, he shouldn't have allowed Erii, who could easily lose control, to be out in the open.

But Erii has not returned, which makes him very uneasy.

Thinking this, Tachibana Masamune summoned his subordinates and ordered them to urge Genjiro to bring Erii back as soon as possible.

At the same time, he contacted Herzog, the original body, and began investigating Erii's movements.

Herzog was frantic, while Erii was leisurely strolling through a comic convention in Akihabara.

"Look, it's white! It's Unit-01! So cool!"

"I saw it, I saw it! Don't get too excited, you're about to spill your coffee!"

Arriving at the EVA booth, Erii pointed to a three-meter-tall model of Unit-01 and excitedly shouted in her heart.

Meanwhile, the white-haired Erii gazed at the other's smile with doting affection from within the mental space.

Then she sensed that there seemed to be a Fate booth not far away where she could try on cosplay outfits, and her eyes lit up.

"Hey coward, you've come all this way to a comic convention, how about trying out cosplay?"

"The fourth booth on your right seems to have a place where you can try on cosplay outfits of Fate characters."

"Cosplay?"

Erii turned her head following the direction of the white-haired [Eri], and her gaze quickly fell on the Fate booth.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the clothes hanging on the racks on both sides of the booth.

Wow! There are Saber and Acher's outfits!

"So handsome!"

"I'm wearing white, do you think I can try on Wang-chan's clothes?"

"I think his piercing thorn spear is super cool!"

Erii made a rapid mental plea, her voice as excited as a kitten drawn to a can of food.

When Erii in white heard about the character she wanted to cosplay, she couldn't help but twitch her lips and tentatively suggested that Erii choose a different character.

"Um... coward, do you really have to have Lancer?"

"That guy seems a bit unlucky! How about we try something else? Berserker would be fine too!"

"Hey—why? Lancer is so handsome!"

Erii protested inwardly.

However, the white-haired Erii strongly protested against this.

In the end, Erii had no choice but to change her cosplay subject.

I cosplayed another character that's hard to describe: Caster Bluebeard from Fate/Zero.

And so, watching Erii dressed in a somber blue robe, completely disregarding her stunningly beautiful face, posing for the camera with wide, staring eyes, the white-haired Erii wondered if suggesting a cosplay was a terrible mistake.

After carefully putting away the photos of herself in cosplay, Erii walked out of the convention center carrying large and small bags.

Then she spent nearly twenty minutes at the gashapon machine at the entrance of the comic convention, finally getting the penguin plush toy she wanted. Satisfied, she headed home to her hotel.

Back in her room, Erii couldn't wait to start labeling her spoils, then asked the white-haired Erii to hide them in the newly opened miniature Nibelungen.

It wasn't until evening that Erii finally finished organizing all her treasures and lay contentedly on her bed watching TV.

"It's almost time for dinner. What would you like to eat, you coward?"

The white-haired Erii checked the time and asked Erii a question.

"Dinner? Erii wants three servings of tonkatsu today. What do you want to eat, you white-haired one?"

"Me? I'll just order a bowl of char siu ramen."

After her body was repaired, Erii's appetite increased significantly.

However, she usually only eats until she's half full, leaving the other half of her stomach for the white-haired Erii.

She always felt that it would be too selfish for her to enjoy this body alone.

Erii, the white-haired woman who shares a body with her, also deserves to enjoy the beauty of the outside world.

Having decided on tonight's dinner, the two set off immediately.

Based on the nearby restaurants noted down by the white-haired Erii when she passed by, they quickly found a ramen shop that sold tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet).

Erii ordered three servings of golden-brown fried pork cutlets and a steaming bowl of chashu ramen, and began to enjoy them with great relish.

However, just as Erii was halfway through her meal, the white-haired Erii, who had been on guard in her mental space, suddenly sensed several auras approaching them.

"Coward, give me control of your body, trouble's brewing!"

The white-haired Erii's expression changed, and she spoke to Erii.

"oh oh!"

Erii's face immediately tensed up upon hearing this.

She hurriedly stuffed the last piece of pork chop into her mouth and then handed over control of her body to the white-haired Erii.

"Waaah..."

After taking control of her body, feeling the chunks of meat stuffed in her mouth, the white-haired Erii silently accelerated her chewing.

Then she stood up and cautiously walked outside.

Then I saw that the pedestrian street, which used to be bustling with people, was now completely deserted.

The entire street was eerily quiet under the warm yellow streetlights.

『1……2……3……4……5……』

The white-haired Erii silently calculated the several auras that appeared in her perception.

They eventually discovered that there were no fewer than 30 auras around them that were comparable to those of an A-grade hybrid.

They lurked in the darkness, watching Erii with predatory eyes, their gazes filled with bloodlust and greed.

"trouble!"

Erii, with her white hair, clicked her tongue and looked at the uninvited guests in the darkness before her.

Then, he exerted force with his feet, shattering the ground, and launched the first attack, fiercely pouncing on the nearest dark figure.

"boom!!!"

Although her body has not been fully transformed, Erii's power is already almost comparable to that of Daiya-sensei.

With a single punch, the head of the nearest dark figure was smashed to pieces and embedded in the paving stones beneath his feet.

At this moment, after closing the distance, the white-haired Erii also saw the faces of the uninvited guests around her.

They were a group of people wearing white masks and black tailcoats.

There were men and women among them, but the white-haired Erii did not sense any living presence in them.

"Shadow Warrior!" 』

Erii, with her white hair, murmured in her heart.

"It seems Herzog already knows Erii is planning to break free from his control, hence sending so many shadow warriors at once?"

"A shadow warrior comparable to an A-rank hybrid—that's a rare find even in Herzog's possession."

"They're sending so many at once? Looks like the old man's really in a hurry."

"Too bad, these few guys alone can't stop me!"

Thinking this, the white-haired Erii slowly withdrew her fist, which was covered in bits of flesh, and raised her golden eyes to scan her surroundings.

Then, the surrounding black figures, enraged by the white-haired Erii's actions, let out a roar in unison and swarmed forward, fiercely attacking the white-haired Erii.
