Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

"Ran, this is for you."

"I get some too!?"

Yakumo Ran was a little surprised. She had thought she was just there to work, but unexpectedly there was a pleasant surprise.

"Why wouldn't you?"

Bai Luo looked at Yakumo Ran with a strange expression.

"You were supposed to get some from the start, and you helped so much."

Hearing this, a warm current rose in Yakumo Ran's heart, and her fox ears twitched twice.

Regardless of work, every time she helped Young Master Bai, she did it willingly, even finding joy in it.

Yakumo Ran took the potato chips, hid four bags in her tail, and tore open one bag. A spicy aroma wafted towards her.

However, she picked up a chip but didn't eat it. Instead, she brought it to Bai Luo's lips.

"Young Master Bai, Ran thinks you should taste the first chip."

Yakumo Ran forced herself to stay calm, but the potato chip in her hand was still trembling slightly.

Bai Luo didn't open his mouth immediately. He looked at Yakumo Ran with an indescribable expression, remaining still for a long time. This made Yakumo Ran feel uneasy, and even her fox ears drooped.

Just as she was about to give up, Bai Luo finally opened his mouth and bit the potato chip.

Just as Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Luo suddenly leaned forward and took half of her finger into his mouth, licking off the seasoning along with it.

Her fox ears instantly perked up, and Yakumo Ran's nine tails unconsciously wagged from side to side.

"Indeed, the essence of potato chips is the seasoning."

Bai Luo narrowed his eyes and sighed, then took out another bag of potato chips from his stomach and handed it to Yakumo Ran.

"This is Zi Ma's. Help me take it back to her."

Yakumo Ran looked at the potato chips in her hand, then up at Bai Luo, and couldn't help but ask:

"Just one bag?"

"Just one bag."

Bai Luo nodded, but then felt it wasn't enough and took out two more bags of potato chips.

"Since she helped me keep the saigyou ayakashi tree, let's make it three bags. No more than that."

Hearing this, Yakumo Ran didn't say anything else, just quietly hid the potato chips in her tail even deeper.

If Zi Daren found out that she had more potato chips than her, she would be robbed at best, and turned into a fox fur coat at worst.

"Knock knock knock——"

A light knocking sound came. Bai Luo tilted his head.

Are they guests?

Although he didn't know who it was, judging by the knocking, he could rule out most people, such as Yakumo Yukari and Marisa, who would never knock.

And Kazami Yuuka had the key to the Happy Hut, so she wouldn't knock either.

Meihong?

Youmu?

Sakuya Izayoi?

These were the three most likely candidates.

Bai Luo went to the door and pulled it open.

"Young Master Bai, sorry for the intrusion, please forgive me!"

Standing outside the door was Sakuya Izayoi, wearing her usual blue and white maid outfit.

"Sakuya, what do you need?"

"I would like to invite you to be a guest at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Do you have time?"

Sakuya Izayoi bowed slightly.

Bai Luo thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I was planning to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion anyway."

"That's great."

Sakuya Izayoi showed a confident smile.

"The Young Lady has been talking about you for a long time. She came to find you specifically yesterday, but unfortunately you weren't home."

"Remilia came looking for me? I stayed at Hakugyokurou last night."

As Bai Luo spoke, his face inexplicably flushed.

At that time, Yuyuko said: "Hakugyokurou doesn't have any extra rooms. I'll sleep with Yukari, and you can sleep with Youmu."

Just like that, he was arranged into Youmu's room.

What shocked Bai Luo was that Youmu didn't object. She didn't say anything, but mist silently rose from the top of her head.

Just like that, he inexplicably slept with Youmu for a night, and even woke up in the middle of the night to find that Youmu was still awake.

...

The two arrived at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Hong Meiling was still sleeping soundly, not even noticing someone approaching, but as Sakuya Izayoi reached into her maid outfit and held throwing knives between her fingers, she seemed to sense it and shivered unexpectedly.

"Swish swish swish——!"

Silver light flashed.

The throwing knives accurately hit various parts of Hong Meiling's body.

She woke up with a start and immediately bowed to apologize before even opening her eyes.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been lazy and slept."

Sakuya Izayoi retrieved her throwing knives and said calmly:

"We have a guest today, so I won't punish you."

"Huh?"

Hong Meiling was stunned. After straightening up, she noticed Bai Luo beside her.

She was startled at first, then her eyes turned red, and she suddenly rushed towards Bai Luo, hugging him tightly. Tears streamed down her face, falling in large drops.

"You scared me to death, I thought I really wouldn't see you again..."

"Hey, hey, don't get so emotional. Let go of me first. The throwing knives on your body and head have gone in, hey."

Looking at the throwing knives all over Hong Meiling's head, Bai Luo's eyelids twitched wildly, and he quickly pushed her away.

Chapter 58 Sakuya: Young Master Bai is full of dignity!

Watching Hong Meiling skillfully pull out the throwing knives from her body one by one, Bai Luo's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"It's okay, maybe I'm used to it."

As she spoke, she pulled out the throwing knife from her forehead, and blood spurted out, almost splashing onto Bai Luo's face.

Hong Meiling's expression didn't change at all, as if she was already used to it.

Bai Luo quietly retreated back to Sakuya Izayoi's side. He had originally thought Hong Meiling was one of the few normal people in Fantasy Land, but now it seemed she was quite peculiar too.

Hong Meiling also noticed Bai Luo's action, and her heart sank halfway.

"Did I accidentally splash blood on you?"

"Is this a matter of splashing or not? You should stop the bleeding first!"

"Oh, oh, okay."

Hong Meiling took out a spray bottle, sprayed it on the wound, and then covered it with a few large bandages.

After treating the wound, she looked up at Bai Luo with a look of grievance in her eyes.

Bai Luo sighed helplessly and took out two bags of potato chips from his stomach.

"Okay, don't be sad anymore. I specially brought you snacks."

Hearing this, Hong Meiling immediately beamed with joy, took the snacks, and then ran back into the Scarlet Devil Mansion. When she came out, she had a small box in her hand.

"These are pastries I made according to the recipe you gave me. Hurry and taste them."

"You made them?"

Bai Luo was surprised. He opened the box, and inside lay rows of small, exquisite osmanthus cakes.

"Mm-hmm, hurry and taste."

Hong Meiling nodded repeatedly, looking at him expectantly.

Bai Luo picked up a piece and took a bite.

It was sweet but not greasy, and the taste was just right, with a soft and sweet texture.

"Not bad."

Bai Luo praised her.

Hong Meiling's face lit up, but she quickly lowered her head gloomily.

"Because this is the taste of my hometown, I almost, almost couldn't eat it..."

As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, eventually turning into choked sobs.

Bai Luo walked forward, stood on his tiptoes, and stroked her head:

"Don't be sad. As long as you remember, as long as the memories exist, you will definitely be able to taste them again."

Under Bai Luo's comfort, Hong Meiling was in a trance for a moment, then wiped away her tears and bloomed into a bright smile again.

"Before, you always made pastries for me. From now on, let me make them for you."

"Okay."

Bai Luo tilted his head and smiled.

The two chatted for a long time. Sakuya Izayoi stood quietly by the side the entire time.

As the sky gradually darkened, Bai Luo finally remembered the purpose of his trip. He looked apologetically at the neglected Sakuya Izayoi, quickly interrupted the conversation, and followed her inside.

"Sorry, I kept you and Remilia waiting for so long."

Bai Luo said apologetically.

Sakuya Izayoi shook her head. "It's okay. The Young Lady doesn't know you're here, and I haven't informed her. As for me, it doesn't matter how long I wait."

The two walked through the corridor.

"Remilia doesn't know I'm coming?"

Bai Luo was confused. He had thought Remilia had invited him over as a guest.

Sakuya Izayoi explained: "I took the liberty of doing so. Although the Young Lady says it doesn't matter and hasn't asked anyone to invite you, she actually misses you very much in her heart. Yesterday, she even pretended to take a walk past the Happy Hut, wanting to drop by and see you, but unfortunately you weren't home."

"I see..."

Bai Luo rubbed his chin and smiled. This was indeed very much in line with Remilia's personality.

The two entered the hall.

Bai Luo looked up and saw that the throne at the end was empty.

"Is Remilia still sleeping?"

"Yes, it's just past five o'clock now. The Young Lady usually wakes up between five-thirty and six o'clock."

Sakuya Izayoi pulled out a chair for Bai Luo: "Please wait here for a moment, and I'll go wake up the Young Lady."
