Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Marisa scratched her head.

"I originally wanted to sit by the bed and wait for you, but I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep."

Bai Luo's eyes were speechless, and just as he was about to complain a few words, Marisa seemed to remember something. Her lips pursed slightly, and she looked up at Bai Luo with red eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you..."

"No."

Placing a finger on her lips, Bai Luo shook his head and said seriously, "You don't need to say sorry. This was my choice, and between friends, there's no need for so many apologies."

Marisa was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she pounced forward, hugging Bai Luo's neck and crying loudly.

"Bai Luo, you're so good! You're a great person!"

Bai Luo's teeth felt a little sore. He didn't understand why he was suddenly given a 'good person card', but seeing Marisa's heartfelt expression, he couldn't help but sigh. He patted her back and comforted her:

"Alright, don't cry, don't be sad."

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

After a while, the exhausted Marisa finally let go of Bai Luo's neck. She looked at him with red and swollen eyes and choked out:

"From now on, I'll definitely listen to you obediently and won't cause you trouble. If someone bullies you, you must tell me, and I'll protect you!"

Hearing this, Bai Luo was taken aback, and then his expression became complicated. The look in his eyes seemed to be saying to Marisa—are you sure?

However, Marisa didn't notice this. Instead, she continued to say confidently:

"Recently, my strength has increased a lot. When you need help, just call me, and I'll hit them with a few Magic Cannons."

Bai Luo looked at Marisa in silence.

Against ordinary Youkai, Marisa's strength would naturally be sufficient. She could even fight against Great Youkai.

"Can you beat up Yakumo Yukari?"

Hearing Bai Luo's question, Marisa was first stunned, then shook her head.

Bai Luo then asked, "Then can you defeat A-San?"

Marisa shook her head again.

Bai Luo sighed, patted Marisa's shoulder, and smiled meaningfully, "You can't, but I can."

Marisa was bewildered. After realizing what he meant, her pupils constricted, and she stared at Bai Luo in shock.

"You can defeat Kazami Yuuka?!"

Marisa's voice rose by eight octaves, utterly shocked.

"Of course."

Bai Luo was very satisfied with her reaction. He nodded and smiled faintly, "Didn't you notice anything strange the day before yesterday?"

"Strange things..."

Marisa frowned in thought, then suddenly widened her eyes as if she had realized something.

"That sudden burst of aura the day before yesterday, it wasn't yours, was it?"

She clearly remembered that when they first met, the other person was weaker than her. In just a few months, he not only surpassed her but even defeated Kazami Yuuka.

Marisa felt it was fantastical.

Although she knew Bai Luo had strong talent, this was a bit too outrageous.

Remembering the bold words she had just spoken, Marisa suddenly felt embarrassed. She rubbed her reddened ear tips and mumbled softly:

"Actually, I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere."

Bai Luo smiled without speaking.

Marisa seemed to remember something, and her fair little face turned red. She said excitedly:

"So you successfully evolved? That Demon Lord, are you a Demon Lord now? Is there any change?"

A series of questions blurted out, and Marisa looked at Bai Luo with great anticipation.

"Yes, I am a genuine Demon Lord now."

"Wow!"

Marisa was overjoyed, "I want to see your true form."

Bai Luo nodded and transformed back into a Slime.

Marisa picked him up, brought him close to her face, and looked left and right. But other than the color being more beautiful, he was no different from usual.

She pouted in disappointment, "I thought it would be like in the manga, becoming very handsome. How come you didn't even grow a horn?"

Hearing this, a humanized 'well' symbol popped up on Bai Luo's Slime head. He said irritably, "I'm a Slime, how could I possibly grow something like that!"

"That seems right."

Marisa thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Then what powerful abilities did you gain after evolving?"

"Too many, I can't finish explaining in a short while."

Bai Luo waved his blue tentacles.

"Go to the kitchen and make three breakfasts first. I'll tell you while I eat."

"Okay."

Marisa nodded obediently and got up to leave the room.

After the door closed, Bai Luo returned to his human form and turned to look at Reimu, who was still "sleeping soundly".

With such a big commotion, it was impossible for Reimu not to hear it. She just didn't want to open her eyes.

A hint of slyness flashed in Bai Luo's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved up. He walked over and lifted the blanket, revealing Reimu's crystal-clear, slender, and fair feet.

Her feet were suddenly exposed to the air and trembled slightly, but Reimu still didn't wake up.

Bai Luo found the acupoint and pressed down without mercy.

"Ow ow wah—!"

A cute cry of sorrow immediately echoed throughout the Happy Hut, startling Marisa, who was making mushroom sandwiches in the kitchen, causing her hand to shake and almost cut off a piece of her own flesh.

Chapter 33: Zi Ma VS Slime Tentacles.

Just as Bai Luo guessed, Reimu was indeed pretending to sleep.

The moment the acupoint was pressed, she jumped up like she was electrocuted, her pupils instantly dilating.

"Awake?"

Bai Luo asked with a smile.

Reimu stared with wide eyes, took a few deep breaths to calm down, but she could still feel the phantom pain in the soles of her feet. She glared angrily at Bai Luo.

"Young Master Bai, how could you do such an excessive thing to a miko who is sleeping!"

"Don't say things that are so easily misunderstood. I was just massaging your acupoints to promote blood circulation."

Listening to her highly misleading words, Bai Luo said speechlessly.

Reimu was about to retort, but she suddenly felt a sense of lightness in her body, as if it were really as Bai Luo said.

The words that were about to come out of her mouth were silently swallowed back.

"Moreover, this is the Happy Hut, my room, my bed. It was clearly you who inexplicably climbed onto my bed while I was sleeping."

Reimu's mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only swallow it back, feeling aggrieved.

After that, Bai Luo didn't speak again, and Reimu also pursed her lips, lost in thought.

After a while, Reimu was the first to speak: "I'll go out and help Marisa. She might not be able to handle it alone."

She got out of bed and stood up, but just as she took a step, Bai Luo grabbed her arm.

"Wait."

He said softly.

Reimu trembled slightly, hesitated for a moment, then turned her head, looked at him calmly, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Bai Luo didn't answer immediately. He just reached behind him and produced a candied hawthorn skewer as if by magic. With a gentle flick, one became three.

"Don't be angry with me anymore. I specifically bought you candied hawthorns."

Reimu stood still, her eyes involuntarily becoming moist. She bit her lip tightly, forcing back the tears.

She didn't like to cry.

Her mother had once warned her that as the miko of Hakurei Shrine, she must be strong.

She took the candied hawthorns, tucked them into her sleeve, and was about to leave, but at this moment, Bai Luo pulled her closer and gently hugged her.

"You don't have to hold back."

A gentle voice came, like comforting a child. Instantly, the tears that Reimu had been struggling to control broke through the barrier and gushed out like spring water, and she cried loudly.

Bai Luo had also said that in front of family, there was no need to be strong; one could cry openly.

Five minutes passed.

As if she was tired from crying, or had cried out all the grievances in her heart, Reimu's crying gradually subsided, her voice choked.

"Not enough, it's still not enough. You have to buy me candied hawthorns for a lifetime!"

"Okay, whether buying or making them, as long as Reimu wants to eat candied hawthorns, she can find me anytime."

Bai Luo's voice was gentle and firm.

Even so, Reimu's voice was still trembling. She buried her face in Bai Luo's chest and whispered:

"Liar..."

A liar just like Mom..."

"You're all big liars!"

"..."

Reimu's voice became smaller and smaller, eventually stopping. She buried her face in Bai Luo's small chest, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Breakfast is ready!"

Suddenly, an energetic voice came from the doorway, interrupting the warm atmosphere in the room.

At the same time, it startled Reimu, who quickly got up.

Then, Marisa pushed open the door. She was wearing a blue apron and holding a kitchen knife in her hand. She stood at the doorway and urged:

"Come out and eat quickly."

Immediately after, Reimu and Bai Luo followed her to the living room.

Just as expected.

The table was full of mushrooms.

Mushroom sandwiches, pan-fried mushrooms, mushroom tea, creamy mushroom porridge...

All sorts of mushroom dishes.

Fortunately, Marisa still lived up to her title of Mushroom Master. Her mushroom cooking skills were quite good, and the taste was excellent.

After eating this breakfast, which could almost be considered dinner, Marisa and Reimu took another dip in the hot springs before leaving the Happy Hut feeling satisfied.

After the two left, Bai Luo also came to the hot springs.

He casually threw his clothes on the ground, sat on the bank, and tested the water temperature with his bare feet. After adapting to the temperature, his entire body sank into the hot blue hot spring.

A-San, Marisa, and Reimu had all recovered their memories. According to them, it was all because of the gifts he had given them.

The memory recovery times weren't uniform, but it was roughly within these two days.

"Eh~"
