Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

The more Hong Meiling thought about it, the more something felt off, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at Bai Luo beside her.

She was a carp demon. If he was really her long-lost younger brother, at the very least, he should also be a carp demon!

Although she couldn't tell what species Bai Luo was, Hong Meiling was certain that he was definitely not a carp demon.

Their species weren't even the same. Had she been tricked?

"I was adopted by my sister, so naturally, I'm not the same species as her."

Bai Luo seemed to see through her thoughts and explained.

"Oh, oh, oh."

Hong Meiling nodded, the doubts in her heart dispelling, and she temporarily felt relieved.

Not only was the plot similar, but even the route was the same.

Bai Luo stared at the familiar door, his eyelids twitching almost imperceptibly twice, and he raised the question again:

"Why are we going through the back door and having to avoid others?"

"Shh~"

Hong Meiling quickly put her index finger to her lips.

"The head maid here has a terrible temper. If she catches us, neither of us will get off lightly. At that time..."

"Are you referring to me as the bad-tempered head maid you mentioned? What will happen if I catch you?"

A cold voice suddenly came from the side, scaring Hong Meiling into quickly hiding behind Bai Luo, but then she felt it was inappropriate and stepped out again, standing in front of Bai Luo.

"Sakuya, this is my younger brother. If you want to punish someone, just punish me."

Hong Meiling closed her eyes, already preparing for the flying knives.

However, after waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come. She cautiously opened her eyes, only to find Sakuya Izayoi looking at her with a strange gaze.

"You said this is your younger brother?"

Sakuya Izayoi's tone was strange.

Hong Meiling nodded.

Sakuya Izayoi was silent for a moment, her gaze slowly shifting to Bai Luo.

She had just received information about the appearance and other details of the person who might have been forgotten from that Flower Tyrant, and in the blink of an eye, the person was brought back by her own foolish gatekeeper. It seemed he still didn't know the truth.

"Sakuya, what's wrong with you?"

Being stared at with such strange eyes, Hong Meiling felt uncomfortable all over.

Sakuya Izayoi sighed, ignoring Hong Meiling, and walked past her, going directly to Bai Luo. She bowed slightly and said softly:

"Young Master Bai, please follow me."

Chapter 19: Hakugyokurou's Little Master? Won't Starve to Death.

"What Young Master Bai? You know each other?"

Hong Meiling stared at the two of them in a daze.

Seeing that she still hadn't reacted, Sakuya Izayoi covered her forehead speechlessly.

"Do you still remember the task I assigned you?"

"Of course I remember. Wasn't it to find the letter of the person we had forgotten... Wait!"

Halfway through speaking, Hong Meiling finally reacted, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

"Bai Luo is that person?"

"Yes."

Sakuya Izayoi glanced at her: "This is the information I just received. Young Master Bai is that person, and also the Little Master of the Yakumo Family."

She turned to look at Bai Luo: "Young Master Bai, I wasn't wrong, was I? The person we have forgotten should be you."

"It's me."

Bai Luo pouted, secretly complaining in his heart: Why is this Purple Old Woman so talkative, causing trouble all day, is she doing it on purpose?

Damn Purple Old Woman!

"But, but you're already dead, how could you..."

Hong Meiling still couldn't believe it.

Bai Luo rolled his eyes at her and interrupted: "Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead, I accidentally came back to life."

"No, I didn't mean that."

Hong Meiling waved her hands repeatedly, afraid that he would misunderstand.

Bai Luo didn't say anything more.

After giving Hong Meiling a cold glance, Sakuya Izayoi left with Bai Luo.

...

Meanwhile, inside Hakugyokurou, Yakumo Yukari was slowly recounting Bai Luo's story to Yuyuko and Youmu.

Previously, Yakumo Yukari had not informed Yuyuko and the others.

The reason was similar to Bai Luo's situation.

Now that the matter had been settled, telling them would only make them feel guilty and had no practical meaning.

Now that the matter was over and Bai Luo was safe and sound, they had the right to know the truth.

Furthermore, Yakumo Yukari now needed her best friend's help with something.

Yuyuko Saigyouji, the mistress of Hakugyokurou, possessed the ability to control death, and memory restoration required this ability.

After listening to the story Yakumo Yukari told, Yuyuko bit her lower lip, remaining silent. After a long while, she said:

"I owe him a bit too much... I don't know how to repay him."

"How about this! From now on, he's my younger brother! And also our Little Master of Hakugyokurou!"

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Yukari's eyelids twitched slightly a few times, and a scene inexplicably appeared in her mind—

Bai Luo's expression of disdain and worry about starving to death when he heard that Yuyuko wanted to be his older sister and appointed him as the Little Master of Hakugyokurou.

Yuyuko saw what Yakumo Yukari was thinking and pouted unhappily, turning her head to Youmu and saying:

"Youmu, what do you think? From now on, Xiao Bai Luo will be our Little Master of Hakugyokurou."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuyuko was stunned, seeing Youmu hugging the Half-Spirit, her eyes red and swollen, nodding and sobbing at the same time.

"Okay."

Youmu was inherently emotional.

Hearing how much Young Master Bai had sacrificed for them, her tears flowed like a bursting dam, unable to stop, even leaving a small puddle on the Half-Spirit.

Yakumo Yukari and Yuyuko looked at this scene with subtle expressions.

Yakumo Yukari comforted her helplessly: "Don't cry, Xiao Bai Luo is not completely dead yet."

Yuyuko nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, save your tears for when his memory is restored and you meet Xiao Bai Luo."

"Mm-hmm."

Youmu nodded sullenly, looked up, wiped away her tears, and solemnly promised: "I will serve Young Master Bai with all my heart, just as I serve Youyouzi-sama."

Yuyuko suddenly interrupted: "I think it's okay if it's not exactly the same."

This left Youmu bewildered, not understanding what she meant.

Yuyuko walked in front of Youmu, gently placed her hands on her shoulders, and said with a serious expression: "Among the gestures of gratitude, there is one that is the highest. Youmu, do you want to express such gratitude to Xiao Bai Luo?"

Youmu was startled, then came back to her senses and nodded seriously: "I do! I want to use the highest etiquette to thank Young Master Bai properly!"

"Good! Then next time Xiao Bai Luo comes to stay, I'll arrange him in your room."

"...Huh!?"

Youmu was stunned, wondering if she had misheard. She asked in disbelief:

"Youyouzi-sama, what did you just say?"

Yuyuko replied as if it were a matter of course: "Arrange for Xiao Bai Luo to sleep in your room. It's winter now, you can go back earlier to warm up his bed."

Seeing this, Youmu hugged the Half-Spirit tighter in shame and anger, and the Half-Spirit in her arms fluttered and twitched.

"Youyouzi-sama, please don't make such jokes casually!"

"I'm not joking. If you don't warm the bed, what kind of gratitude is that?"

When Yuyuko said this, she was incredibly serious, as if it were a real thing. As if remembering something, she added:

"Besides, haven't you already slept with him?"

"No! Please don't talk nonsense!"

"That blue pillow in your room, according to Zi, isn't it a clone, similar to a Half-Spirit? Doesn't that mean you've been sleeping with Xiao Bai Luo all this time?"

"I, I... I, I..."

Youmu was anxious, wanting to refute but not knowing where to start. Her delicate cheeks quickly turned red, whether from anxiety or shame, and even her neck and collarbone turned pink.

The Half-Spirit also couldn't maintain flight and occasionally fell.

Finally, Youmu's silent tears fell one by one, and she sobbed while hugging the Half-Spirit, while Yuyuko comforted her with a blank expression.

Yakumo Yukari looked at her best friend teasing Youmu again and couldn't help but rub her forehead.

...

Happy Hut.

After settling everything, Yakumo Ran planned to take a hot spring bath and enjoy herself, but then there was a knock on the door—

"Dong dong dong..."

She walked to the door in confusion, first ruling out the possibility of Zi Daren, as Zi Daren would never knock.

It shouldn't be Young Master Bai at this hour either, not to mention Young Master Bai had a key and could come in directly.

Could it be Reimu and the others?

Yakumo Ran thought, and opened the door.

However, the moment that cold figure came into view, she was so startled that she took half a step back.

"Yu, Yuuka-sama, is there something you need?"

Yakumo Ran wanted to cry, her slightly bristling tail drooping to the ground.

Kazami Yuuka was also surprised the moment she saw Yakumo Ran, but remembering Young Master Bai's identity as the Little Master of the Yakumo Family, she was no longer surprised.

"I'm looking for Bai Luo."

Yakumo Ran looked at the other party's strange eyes and wished she could slap herself from just now. This was nonsense, of course, she was looking for Young Master Bai at Young Master Bai's house.

"Young Master Bai is not home."

"Where did he go?"

Kazami Yuuka frowned.

"Ran doesn't know either, but he should be back a little later. Yuuka-sama, you can take a hot spring bath first and relax."

Yakumo Ran tried her best to appear enthusiastic, anyway, with the other party's personality, she would never accept her invitation.

However, contrary to her wishes, Kazami Yuuka thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Yakumo Ran wanted to cry even more, but could only lead Kazami Yuuka in.

The two walked through the living room and arrived at the hot spring area in the back.

"The hot springs are ahead. Yuuka-sama, you can go to the indoor hot spring on the left, or the outdoor hot spring in the middle, just don't go to the hot spring on the right."

"Is there something wrong with the hot spring on the right?"
