I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: It costs extra!

"...No, Commander."

"The Hexawing Beast is dead. Its digital code was left in our world, so we need to collect it. But I remember the Hexawing Beast didn't have a code. In the finale, its larval form was killed by the Ten Warriors and it was immediately reborn. So it didn't have any code."

"Besides, even if there really are passwords, what problem does it have? Whether it has those passwords or not doesn't affect this world, right?"

Several question marks appeared above Bai Mu's head—no, not just a few, but many.

To be honest, Bai Mu had some doubts after arriving in this Digital World, and with what the system said, he had even more doubts.

However, Tong still loved him and didn't play any riddles with him; he simply told him what was going on.

The revival of Sixwingmon relies on the Digital World and all Digimon. Therefore, Sixwingmon possesses the Digicode of the entire Digital World and all Digimon. Only by defeating Sixwingmon and obtaining all of its Digicode can the world be fully revived.

However, an error occurred during the Hexawing Beast larval form's journey, causing it to separate from and disappear from the Satan form. The digital code carried by the Hexawing Beast larval form was thus left behind in that world.

The protagonist possesses a digital code capable of reviving the Digital World, but not all the Digimon.

[Those digital codes, after a brief existence in the human world, will be resurrected there and, under the influence of the evil heart of the Six-Winged Beast, will become evil Digimon.]

The host needs to defeat them all and scan them again before they can be resurrected.

Only after all the digital codes have been scanned can the Six-Winged Beast be considered truly dead.

"I see... I didn't expect it to be like this. But, Master, the Six-Winged Beast in the anime doesn't have a DigiCode, how do you explain that? Also, why aren't the Chosen Children here? Where's Susanoomon?"

"I am the Susanoo of our world, so where did the Susanoo of this world go?"

"And what about those chosen children?"

Although the secret of the six-winged beast has been solved, there are still many secrets that remain unsolved.

The gap between anime and reality, where did Susanoo and the Chosen Children of this world go? These are all questions that the Whitebeard wants to clarify.

Although Bai Mu is usually quite lazy and tends to procrastinate even when faced with serious matters, once he gets involved in something important, he will definitely handle his responsibilities seriously.

Therefore, he wanted the system to tell him what had happened.

The system didn't try to hide anything and directly told Bai Mu this.

[This world is another parallel world to the Digimon Frontier as known to the host.]

The chosen children of this world were defeated, and the six-winged beast devoured them. Naturally, the souls of the ten warriors of this world also became the power of the six-winged beast.

"...parallel world?"

Bai Mu blinked, and his originally serious expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

"Master, you might fool others with the idea of ​​parallel worlds, but do you really think you can fool me? If parallel worlds really exist, wouldn't the probability of other worlds touching our world increase dramatically?"

"And with so many parallel worlds invading, how can you possibly stop them all with just one world?"

When chatting with Haruno, Hakumo used this excuse to distinguish himself from DIO. At that time, Haruno completely believed it, since she had no choice but to believe it. However, Hakumo was different. As someone who could truly travel through time and transform into other characters, he did not believe in the concept of parallel worlds at all.

After all, so many worlds are coming to this world, and their lives are already incredibly difficult. If countless parallel worlds were to arrive... it would be manageable if there were a limit, but if there were no limit...

Who knows when countless JoJos might appear in the JoJo world?

Therefore, the white curtain is completely impossible in a parallel world.

But......

[Please explain why the worlds of Digimon 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are different.]

[Please explain why Yggdrasil, the creator of the Digimon movie, created two Digital Worlds.]

Two problems with the system directly led to the sinking of the White Curtain.

Well......

It is irrefutable, truly irrefutable.

There have been ten Digimon series so far, but only series 1, 2, and 7 share the same universe. Series 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are from different worlds. The last one is a remake of series 1, a parallel world within a parallel world.

There are also Digimon movies. While some of the movies are set in the same world, many are set in different worlds.

These words left Bai Mu speechless.

If you think the JOJO world is always just one world, that's not true. Even JOJO becomes a parallel world after Part 7. So, even JOJO has parallel worlds. The Führer even uses his Stand user to find his counterpart in those parallel worlds and then keeps reviving.

Goodness, that means he's not just facing a single world, but countless parallel worlds?

Countless DIOs, countless scumbag bosses, countless fried chickens?

Just thinking about it makes me feel that such a future is terrifying.

Don't do this kind of thing!

Could it be that my future is one of those times where I knowingly do something impossible, only to die on the battlefield?

Bai Mu immediately envisioned the possible future scenarios for himself.

No... is it too late for me to quit now?

It's too late.

It was as if the system had guessed what Bai Mu was thinking and silenced him beforehand.

"...No, Commander, you didn't tell me any of this before. If you were talking about one-on-one or one-to-many, I would accept it, but now, facing so many parallel worlds, how am I supposed to fight? Or are you saying I can bring back my parallel world selves to help me?"

[No, there are no parallel worlds in this world; there is only one host.]

"But this makes things difficult for me. One-on-one is already the limit. Even if we find some chosen one, we still can't handle so many enemies, right?"

[…Please state your desired outcome directly, host.]

"It's not that I want anything in particular, it's just that your efforts and rewards are disproportionate, right? Boss, you need to pay more..."

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Become a Digimon, Girl!

Amidst the somewhat joking remarks from the white screen, the system silently changed the price of a ten-order transaction to a twenty-order transaction.

Not counting June 48th and May 18th, if we only consider May 18th, Bai Mu's work this time is worth 10,000. Earning over 10,000 a day? Great! With a little more effort, I'll soon catch up with Yi Shuang!

No, if we round it up, isn't this a great pleasure for me?

Feeling quite pleased with himself, Bai Mu then stopped paying attention to the so-called parallel world issue.

If the wages are right, the world will be a mess. If you dare to come, I dare to fight!

No...maybe Bai Mu actually hopes they'll come more often, since it all comes down to performance, and he can let the results speak for themselves.

If he doesn't have any sales for several days, then he won't have any income for several days!

Oh no, this is too dangerous!

No pay or anything like that? I don't want that!

[Host, please don't let your mind wander. You still have one task to complete.]

The system's voice interrupted Bai Mu's rambling thoughts, and Bai Mu finally realized that his purpose in coming here was not to learn about these things, but to take Eriri home.

"I forgot, I forgot... I'll take her back right now..."

"No, wait a minute. Director, what do you think about me having Eriri help me collect the digital codes?"

Just as Bai Mu was about to take action, he suddenly thought of a very important question, and his eyes lit up slightly.

According to the system, after he returned to that world, he would still need to travel all over the world to collect digital passwords. However, if he entrusted the task to someone else, Bai Mu wouldn't have to go out every day like this.

[Please do not shift your responsibility to others.]

The system was speechless for a moment. Good grief, I sent you here to bring people back, not to recruit employees for yourself.

If you do it this way, won't you be able to make money just by lying at home in the future?

Doing nothing and completely handing over the work to others? Aren't you taking advantage of honest people?

"??? Don't wrong me, Commander. Even I sometimes want to go out and get some exercise. Besides, I'm doing this for your sake."

"With so many enemies, it's impossible to rely entirely on me, right? Right now, the only ones I know who have a chance to join the battle are Yukinoshita Haruno and Nino, but there are only two of them, which is not enough. I'm increasing our fighting strength, and this is a very serious matter."

【...】

You're speaking so seriously that even the system doesn't know what to say.

but......

What my host said makes sense. There are only three people in the world who can fight. Apart from the White Curtain, the only one who can be called a combatant is Yukinoshita Haruno. After all, with Yukinoshita Haruno's talent, I believe she will soon understand how to use Star Platinum. And then there's Nino.

Nino hasn't reached the point of awakening yet, so she has no fighting power whatsoever.

If we could recruit... no, if we could recruit one more combatant, that would be great for this world!

Therefore, the system readily agreed to Bai Mu's idea.

just.

[How does the host plan to develop Eriri Sawamura into a competent combatant?]

"That's easy. Aren't there Digimon? I just checked, and the data I scanned, besides the Digital World itself, also includes three Warrior Souls. If these three Warrior Souls can recognize Eriri, then Eriri will be qualified to become a combatant."

"I don't necessarily want Eriri to become a combatant. Since we're already here, let's give it a try."

The meaning of "white curtain" is very clear: it means to give it a try.

He entrusted the Fighter's Soul to Eriri. If Eriri could gain the Fighter's Soul's approval, then Eriri would undoubtedly become a formidable fighter. However, if she was not approved by the Fighter's Soul, then it would be considered that she truly lacked the talent.

Even if it ends like this.

Therefore, no matter what choice she makes, it is Eriri's decision.

Having made this judgment, the White Curtain also controlled Susanoo to appear behind Eriri.

He took a quiet breath, and his playful expression slowly disappeared, replaced by an expression that contained three parts gentleness, three parts helplessness, three parts determination, and one part guilt.

—It's time for the performance!

“You have come, chosen child.”

The voice rang out in the empty and desolate world. Eriri, who was sitting in place waiting for Susanoo to appear, was startled when she heard this, but she quickly recovered.

She turned her head immediately and saw Susanoo.
