-  After school-

  Ray was walking side by side with the Vermillions. Since the era of spiritual awakening, the world has passed through many changes, so Ray and Rena wanted to walk around the city, adapting themselves to the changes.

  " Here is the monument of heroes. Those 5 heroes were the Daoists who came and stopped the great catastrophe a few months ago. The government has made this monument to appreciate the 5 heroes."

  " Yeah, yeah, Aiko, we already understand. You have been repeating those phrases about the 5 heroes since this morning."

  " Hehe, they were just that cool, but don't worry. Ray-Nii is still the one I love the most."

  *Sigh* this girl. Ray could only sake his head at the behavior of this little girl, but still, thanks to her, Ray was able to get much information about the world after a spiritual awakening.

  Those 5 heroes which Aiko really admires were the top 5 strongest Daoists in the present. They were crowned with that title after defeating a general class spirit beast.

  Oh, since humanity wasn't able to fully detect the spirit beast level like Aina, they use a simple term to separate the level of a spirit beast.

  Lv 1-10 appretience

  Lv 11-20 Soldier

  Lv 21-30 Captain

  Lv 31-40 Commander

  Lv 41-50 General

  Lv 51-60 King

  Lv 61-70 Emperor

  Lv 71-??? Catasthrope

  The 5 heroes were presently stronger than Ray, but he believed it would only take a moment before he could pass them. His only enemies were the protagonists of this world.

  Since 3 years have passed, the Protagonist of the 2nd sequel of this game should soon arrive, so Ray must prepare himself for another big confrontation against the protagonists.

  " Look, it is the GoldSky spirit beast shop. How about we enter and take a look around there?"

  During their city tour, Aiko introduced many things to Rena and Ray, from something useless like the best ramen shop in town to something useful like the Maple-leaf city Daoist associations building.

  Now seeing her so excited over a spirit beast shop, Ray and rena couldn't bear to reject her.

  " Okay, let's go. I am also pretty curious about what they have here."

  ……


  Soon, the three entered the Goldsky spirit beast shop.

  " Irashaimashe!"

  A nice and gentle shopkeeper was greeting them……

  [ DING!!! A wild side protagonist appeared]

  [ DING!!! You have met a side protagonist, Ethan Maxwell.]

  [ Detecting severe hostility from Ethan Liu, a new mission will be issued.]

  [ Make the Goldsky spirit beast shop go bankrupt.]

  [ Reward: Spirit beast knowledge Vol.1 ]

  [ Penalty: Your dancing video in the classroom will be uploaded into Thytube.].

  The heck, Ray had just come in, and now this side protagonist appeared out of nowhere and already has a hostility toward him. Why were all the protagonists in this world felt like they were from those 3rd rate Cn-novel?

  *Sigh*, when he was reading those novels, the type of protagonist that Ray hated the most was those beta-simp Jp Mc, but now he really wished all the protagonists could learn a few things from them.

  Don't they know that a dragon wouldn't bite if he was not disturbed?

  ' *Sigh* I won't care anymore. Please check his information for me, Aina.'

  [ Sure host, but don't you think comparing a majestic dragon to you was like a blasphemy?].

  [ Ethan Maxwell]

  [ Power value: 500 ]

  [ Intelligence: 95 ]

  [ Affection: ( -20 ) - Nobody else but me could hold hand with my Aiko]

  [ Charm value: 110 ]

  [ Special skill: Evolution book, Spirit beast Appraisal]

  [ Protagonist halo: 200 ]

  [ Description: The side protagonist of Super Duper Love Plus Ultra game that only appears in a mobile spinoff game.].

  Yup, another brain-dead protagonist. But Ray couldn't help but think that his cheat was pretty good. If not for the main protagonists, he will be hella Op, a way to evolve another spirit beast, and appraisal in this kind of world was really useful.

  " Oh, it none other than the beautiful Aiko. The thing you pre-ordered before has arrived. Please check the quality."

  Ethan came to the group with a box in his hand.

  " Here, take a look at this fire berry. This one should be among the highest quality in the market."

  " Woahhh, Even with our family connection, it's hard to find such a high-quality fire berry. Thank you so much, Ethan."

  Aiko looked at the high-quality berries, and her eyes turned into a crescent shape. This fire berry was the main diet for her Fire rooster, so she always tried her best to find a high-quality fire berry.

  " Don't worry, it is all worthed if I could see you smile."

  " Geez, don't be like that Ethan, you'll make me flustered, you know."

  Ethan looked at the smiling beautiful girl in front of him and feel joy in his heart. If he could get this woman to be his, then his life would be full of happiness.

  It's such a shame that he was the only one that thought like that.

  From the side, Ray could see that Aiko, at best, treated him like an older brother. The way she interacted with Ethan clearly showed that she didn't think of him that way. But sadly, Ethan was too blinded by love that he wasn't able to discern Aiko's intention.

  ' Now I feel more guilty than angry towards this guy. For him to put all his effort only to get bro zoned later. *Sigh* This senpai could feel your suffering."

  Ray couldn't bear to look at Ethan's flirting anymore and held Aikos' waist.

  " There's nothing special here, Aiko. If you're finished, how about we continue our city tour."

  Aiko, who felt Ray's warm hand on her, became really flustered. Her face became red, and smokes started to come out from her head.

  " Ye-ye-yes…!"

  Her heart was beating so hard that she didn't realize that she bit her tongue while replying to Ray.

  *Ba-dump*

  ' No way, her cuteness was way far too overkill. Calm yourself, Ray. You wouldn't want to display your little brother soaring in this broad sky.'

  The two who were in their honeymoon mood quickly pick up the Fire berry and put it back into the box.

  However, when the two were just putting the last Fire Berry into the box, a voice came and startled them.

  " Wait!!!"
