There is only one high school in Mingshui Town - Private Mingshui High School, which combines junior high and senior high departments. Every time school is dismissed at noon, students of all kinds leave the school and pass by the shopping street. Although it is still spring, the girls of this age can't contain their youthfulness. Wearing short skirts and stockings, they become the most beautiful scenery in Mingshui Town.

White Goodson stood at the intersection of the shopping street, staring at the passing students like a pervert. Of course, he wasn't actually continuously looking at the uniformed girls' legs. He was just looking for someone. Although in the eyes of others, there was not much difference between him and a pervert.

"Oh, there they are."

After a while, White Goodson finally found his target.

It was a pair of male and female companions. The boy wore glasses and neatly combed hair, giving off an appearance of being cultured and honest. The girl had chestnut-colored bobbed hair that was slightly curly, with a white flower hair clip pinned to her sideburns. Although they walked side by side, they didn't look like a couple at all. Both of their faces were filled with excitement, but White Goodson knew very well that these two were not excited about the same thing.

Because White Goodson knew both of them. The boy’s name was Qingzheng Lin, also known as Xiaolin. He was both White Goodson's childhood friend and a second-year student at Private Mingshui High School. The girl was Xiaolin's younger sister, named Qing Lin, who had just entered the senior high department this year.

"White brother!"

The two of them immediately noticed White Goodson standing at the intersection of the shopping street. It wasn't because he was particularly eye-catching. Among the many students, it was just slightly annoying to have a man with a rustic appearance, and a conspicuous head of curly hair mixed in. The Lin siblings had followed White Goodson since they were young. They were three or four years younger than him, and he had always played the role of an older brother figure to them.

"Let's go, I have something to ask you guys."

White Goodson waved in response to the two of them and headed straight to the shopping street.

When they returned to the grocery store, the Lin siblings caught a whiff of the aroma coming from the kitchen.

"It smells so good! Is it Uncle Tong's fish?"

Xiaolin sniffed with his nose, showing a satisfied expression and wanting to take another sniff, but White Goodson pinched his nose.

"If you want to eat, just honestly answer a few questions for me."

White Goodson sat on the floor because he had cleaned the store before Xiaolin got out of school, so it was relatively clean now and there was no visible dust. But later on, White Goodson would have to clean the corners that couldn't be seen.

"I knew inviting us to eat wasn't without a reason."

Xiaolin sat in front of White Goodson and as soon as he sat down, Qinglin grabbed his ear.

"White brother hasn't come back for so long, it's already nice of him to invite us to eat. Why are you complaining about him asking you questions?"

Despite Qinglin's obedient appearance outside, she was actually a genuine sadist to her older brother. Seeing Xiaolin's expression of pain, White Goodson couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. Because there were times when his own younger sister treated him the same way or even more cruelly.

After the two of them calmed down, White Goodson slowly spoke.

"Have you guys ever heard of another world?"

When White Goodson finished speaking, the Lin siblings first stared blankly, then burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?"

White Goodson vaguely felt that these siblings probably saw him as an alien, just like those internet users did. But what exactly was going on?

"White brother, news of another world has already spread throughout the mortal world. People of all ages and genders have accepted this fact. The entire Mingshui Town, except for Uncle Tong's family, is still blissfully ignorant. It may sound unbelievable to you, but many people who have traveled to another world have returned. They have shown the stories of another world to the whole world, and people call them the 'Returners from Another World'!"小林 couldn't help but pat his chest as he said, proudly, "Like me, I am one of the returners from another world!"

"You?!" White Goodson was dumbfounded, unaware that Kobayashi had also been to another world.

"Of course, although I only stayed in the other world for less than a year before coming back, the fact that I am a returner will not change!" Kobayashi became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, involuntarily standing up and gesturing like an arrogant speaker, one hand on his chest and the other raised in the air.

Then, Kobayashi's ears suffered from the persecution of his younger sister again.

"But speaking of which, White, don't you really know about all this? How was it over there for you?" Ringo was excited from the beginning, seemingly curious about White Goodson's experiences.

"Me? Over there..." before White Goodson could finish speaking, Kobayashi interrupted again.

"The people in town said you were tricked into joining a pyramid scheme. It's great that you came back safely!"

- A pyramid scheme?!

"No, didn't Tongsu tell you guys where I went?" White Goodson regretted asking, as Kobayashi had just mentioned that only Tongsu's family stubbornly held on to their beliefs, and they would probably not believe that White Goodson had gone to participate in the "time-travel ritual". Because White Goodson only told Tongsu's family about his whereabouts, it was likely that his whereabouts had become "pyramid scheme" in their mouths.

"It was Tongsu who told the people in town that you were deceived into joining a pyramid scheme, right?"

- Just as I expected...

"So, when you mentioned 'over there' on the phone earlier..."

"Isn't it a pyramid scheme?"

"Let's eat first..." White Goodson sighed and said, covering his forehead.

At the dinner table.

"Speaking of which, White, have you been in touch with White Rosa?" Kobayashi asked curiously after taking a bite of fish.

- She no longer refers to her own sister as "White Rosa" when she is right next to her. This guy...

"I called her before you guys came, but no one answered." White Goodson picked up a note and waved it in front of Kobayashi. The note was attached to the bag of fish and had White Rosa's current address and phone number written on it.

"I see, that's a shame. I was planning to share some explosive news with her." Kobayashi looked somewhat disappointed, while he held his phone in his hand.

"What news? The news about the first place retiree?" White Goodson became curious and continued the topic.

"No, no, no. We already knew about that news. This time, it's a new piece of news that just appeared two hours ago. Are you interested in hearing it?" Kobayashi shook his phone and teased.

"Just tell me already."

"Hmm hmm hmm, take a look." Kobayashi moved the screen of his phone to White Goodson's eyes.

"There's a mysterious person named White Amaterasu who appeared in my post and left a comment! Do you think it could be the real deal?" White Goodson glanced at the content on the phone screen and felt uneasy.

- So you're the crazy experience-consuming author...

"I don't think so. If he really is the first place, he would probably keep a low profile, right?" White Goodson replied symbolically, although he himself did want to keep a low profile, it seemed like he had accidentally revealed himself.

"That's what I thought too, but White Rosa doesn't think so. She's already investigating the location where this news was released." After Kobayashi finished speaking, White Goodson broke out in a cold sweat. He had forgotten that his own younger sister was very good at tinkering with computers.

"So, White Rosa?" White Goodson tried his best to appear calm as he asked."Yeah, she's a fanatic follower of White Amaterasu," Kobayashi swiped up the screen with his finger, pointing to a few messages. "Look, this is her."

White Amaterasu's sister:

"You're overthinking it. How could a foreigner have such a name? Amaterasu-Otoko is definitely the kind of martial arts hero with an ethereal and elegant beauty, with long flowing hair!"

White Goodson felt like he was about to die.

White Amaterasu is nothing special:

"Don't fantasize about your Amaterasu-Otoko, you brainless fangirls. Who knows, maybe your precious Amaterasu-Otoko is just a loser in real life?"

White Amaterasu's sister replied:

"If you dare to insult my Amaterasu-Otoko again, I'll find your address and come to your doorstep to kill you. Believe it or not?"

White Goodson felt like the whole world was about to collapse.
