Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

"Yakumo Yukari just came to see me about this matter. She said that before a Little One died, in order not to make us worry, he took it upon himself to delete the part of our memories about him."

Fujiwara no Mokou was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. At first, she thought it was Yakumo Yukari who had deleted their memories, but she didn't expect it to be someone else.

This way, the inexplicable pink dress and the bag full of women's decorations also had a reasonable explanation.

"So the person we forgot is the Yakumo Family's Little Master, Bai Luo, right?"

Fujiwara no Mokou quickly thought of him.

She understood Bai Luo's inexplicable words from before and why he would tease her.

It seems the two had already known each other before.

Facing a friend who had forgotten him, a bit of teasing was also normal.

Fujiwara no Mokou could also think of this.

A memory that could make Keine cry clearly wouldn't have a happy ending.

What's more, Keine had just said that Bai Luo deleted the memories because he didn't want them to be sad about his death.

"Keine, can you tell me about the history you saw?"

Fujiwara no Mokou said.

Keine nodded, and after her emotions calmed down, she began to slowly narrate the past she had seen.

Their meeting, getting to know each other, until their separation from Bai Luo, and the story of Bai Luo's last days.

As she spoke, her eyes, which had just managed to reduce swelling, turned red again.

Listening to this, Fujiwara no Mokou felt a mix of emotions.

Even though she didn't have these memories.

Nor did she witness everything firsthand from a bird's-eye view like Keine, but she could feel the sadness from Keine's narration, and her heart also felt very uncomfortable.

If she were to recover these memories, she would probably be moved by them just like Keine.

Thinking this, Fujiwara no Mokou stepped forward and gently patted Keine's shoulder.

"Don't cry anymore. Didn't Bai Luo come back to life? Since that's the case, all we need to do next is recover our memories."

After taking a few deep breaths, Keine finally suppressed the sadness in her heart and nodded at Fujiwara no Mokou with a smile.

"You're right. No matter how difficult the process is, as long as the ending is beautiful, everything is worth it."

Saying this, Keine, whether to change the sad atmosphere or for some other reason, playfully teased in a light tone:

"While everyone has lost their memories, Meihong, you can try pursuing Bai Luo. Maybe you can really snatch him up first."

The sudden topic change made Fujiwara no Mokou momentarily stunned. After reacting, she waved her hand in a panic.

"Keine, what are you talking about! Bai Luo, Bai Luo is still so young, and I don't have any memories of him right now, so I'm not sure if I like him."

As long-lived beings, age is never a problem. Although there is a large age gap between you now, after a thousand, or even ten thousand years, this gap will be insignificant and will become smaller and smaller.

Keine said earnestly, "As for you not being sure whether you like him, I can tell you clearly, you like him, you like Bai Luo, you like this Youkai."

Hearing this, Fujiwara no Mokou froze on the spot, unsure how to answer for a moment. She recalled the image of Bai Luo pretending to cry and tease her that day.

Could it be...

...that she really liked Bai Luo?

Fujiwara no Mokou pondered for a moment, then shook her head violently, casting aside the thought in her mind. She looked up at Keine, her eyes serious.

"I don't want to do this. When the memories return, it's true that, as you said, Keine, I will definitely fight for it, but now..."

She clenched her fist and said firmly:

"If it's a feeling gained by taking advantage of the situation and deliberately seeking it out like this, I don't want it."

"Don't want what?"

Before Keine could answer, a curious, clear voice sounded from the doorway, and Fujiwara no Mokou instantly froze.

She turned around, and Yakumo Ran's figure was the first to come into view, followed by a familiar, childish little face.

"When did you get here?"

Fujiwara no Mokou wanted to cry without tears. Saying something like that in front of the person involved was just too socially awkward.

"Just arrived. As soon as I got here, I saw you standing there in a daze, and then you inexplicably said things like you didn't want to do this, didn't want to take advantage, and that you would fight for it."

Bai Luo said this in confusion, but noticed that Fujiwara no Mokou's cheeks were getting redder.

"I was just talking about a past event with Keine."

Fujiwara no Mokou wanted to gloss over it, but Bai Luo was clearly not that easy to dismiss.

"What past event? Can you share it with me?"

He looked at Fujiwara no Mokou eagerly.

"Well... it's just some trivial matters from the past, nothing interesting, so let's not talk about it."

Fujiwara no Mokou gave two dry laughs and refused again.

Seeing this, Bai Luo stopped asking and looked towards Keine, his gaze falling on her red eyes.

"Keine just cried? It couldn't be that Meihong you bullied Keine, could it?"

Bai Luo looked at Fujiwara no Mokou, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"How is that possible!"

Fujiwara no Mokou quickly waved her hand in denial: "No matter what, I would never bully Keine."

"That's true."

Bai Luo also didn't really believe Fujiwara no Mokou would do something like that.

Just as he was about to continue asking, Keine walked forward, gently put her arm around Bai Luo, holding him in her embrace like a child, and couldn't help but sob.

Chapter Eighteen: The Still Simple Gatekeeper.

"You know the truth now?"

Bai Luo pouted. Wouldn't this mean he couldn't tease Meihong anymore?

Fujiwara no Mokou and Keine nodded.

"Although my memories haven't returned yet, by looking back at history and browsing the recent history of Fantasy Land, I have understood everything."

Keine explained, and at the same time, she couldn't help but hug Bai Luo tightly to her chest, seemingly wanting to comfort him this way.

"I'm sorry, we should have found out sooner."

"It's really nothing. It's already in the past, and it won't be long before everyone remembers. I'm already very satisfied."

Bai Luo's tone held a hint of indifference. He turned into a Slime, left Keine's embrace, and then reformed into his human shape.

Since Fujiwara no Mokou already knew the answer, Bai Luo couldn't tease her anymore. After chatting casually for a few sentences, he left.

He remembered that A-San had opened a Flower Shop in Human Village. Since she wasn't in Sunflower Field, she was probably at this Flower Shop.

Led by Yakumo Ran, Bai Luo also arrived in front of the shop.

This shop had no number plate or sign. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary Flower Shop.

The door was locked.

Looking inside through the clear glass door, it was empty.

"Where is A-San?"

Bai Luo scratched his head in confusion and turned to look at Yakumo Ran.

"Besides staying at home in Sunflower Field basking in the sun, and occasionally coming to the Flower Shop, where else would A-San go?"

"Lan doesn't know either, but it should only be these two places."

Yakumo Ran chuckled bitterly and shook her head.

Bai Luo mumbled unhappily.

"Seriously, where did this guy run off to? Not running off early or late, but precisely at this time, she can't be found..."

Bai Luo kept complaining, occasionally asking Yakumo Ran if it was true, but Yakumo Ran didn't dare to agree at all, and could only respond with an awkward but polite smile throughout.

Wandering around Human Village, Bai Luo didn't know what to do, so he bought some daily necessities and snacks and planned to go back.

On the way back, he spotted a familiar figure.

"Lan, help me take these things back. You don't need to cook my portion of dinner tonight either."

Bai Luo took out the large and small bags from his stomach again and handed them to Yakumo Ran.

"Okay."

Yakumo Ran didn't ask further, nodded, and left.

Bai Luo walked towards Hong Meiling not far away, came up behind her, and gently poked her waist.

Hong Meiling shivered and turned around abruptly. After realizing it was just a cute child, she relaxed. However, what Bai Luo said next made her confused.

"Sister, I finally found you."

"Huh?"

Hong Meiling was stunned, blinking her eyes in disbelief, "What do you mean found me? And why are you calling me sister?"

Bai Luo tilted his head and said in confusion:

"Sister is just sister. A long time ago, I got separated from you, Sister. Luckily, a few days ago, I was tricked into coming to Fantasy Land by someone who claimed to be a 17-year-old beautiful girl, and that's how I saw you again, Sister."

Hong Meiling was even more confused. What was all this?

"Um... you might have the wrong person. I'm not your sister."

"How could that be!"

Bai Luo quickly shook his head. His little face pressed against Hong Meiling's front, and he lightly sniffed, making Hong Meiling's heart pound wildly.

"Memories can fade, but scent won't lie. This is clearly Sister's scent. Does Sister not want to recognize me anymore..."

Bai Luo lowered his head, his little face looking extremely wronged.

"No, no!"

Hong Meiling explained in a panic, "But I'm really not your sister."

Bai Luo looked up at her, tears rolling in his eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

Hong Meiling's heart was instantly filled with guilt, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"Sister, is there a light golden mark on your lower back?"

"You, you... How did you know..."

Hong Meiling's eyes widened, and she couldn't speak properly. There was indeed a light golden mark of varying shades in that spot.

At this moment, she couldn't help but believe what the child said. Could it be that the other party was really her long-lost younger brother?

"Hmm... Shouldn't I know? At that time, Sister suddenly walked into my room and then inexplicably lifted her clothes..."

Bai Luo blinked his eyes, pretending to be innocent.

This information was naturally not seen with his own eyes, but was information exchanged for candy with Flandre.

It seems now that the information was true.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Hong Meiling quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't say any more, don't say any more."

Hong Meiling felt extremely ashamed. Although deep down she didn't believe she would do such a thing, what the other party said didn't sound like a lie, and more importantly, it was backed by evidence.

Hong Meiling's thoughts churned, and finally, she decided to take him back first.

On the way.
