Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

"Okay...."

His originally bright eyes dimmed. Bai Luo mumbled to himself, "You just said you had nothing to do and came in to take a look."

He dejectedly twisted the corner of his clothes. "So you just didn't want to come to my house as a guest..."

"No, Bai Luo, you misunderstood. I, I really have something to do."

The sudden change made Fujiwara no Mokou panic. Hearing this, Bai Luo raised his head again, his eyes filled with confusion. "So, why did you suddenly come back just now?"

"I... I..."

Fujiwara no Mokou choked up, opening her mouth but not knowing how to explain. Seeing her nervous look, Bai Luo couldn't hold back and burst into laughter again:

"Meihong, you're so cute! You're usually so cool. I'm not kidding anymore, remember not to refuse next time, okay?"

After speaking, without giving Fujiwara no Mokou a chance to react, Bai Luo ran away.

Chapter 21: A-San, I Was Bullied!

Time flew by, and three weeks passed unknowingly, bringing them to mid-April.

The sky was still azure, and the breeze was still gentle and comfortable. Unfortunately, two people were destined not to enjoy this beauty peacefully today.

"Bang!"

Bai Luo slammed the table angrily and roared into the microphone, "What are you doing, fake Princess? You're screwing over your teammate, aren't you! Believe it or not, I'll report you as soon as I go out!"

"Bullshit! You were spacing out, and you're blaming Kaguya?"

From the microphone came the voice of a girl full of anger.

...

Under the operation of the Great Sage, the computer was not only successfully installed but also connected to the external network. For these three weeks, Bai Luo had been playing a game called `interstellar battle spirits`.

This game has extremely high freedom, no fixed tasks, and the gameplay is mainly about seizing resources and upgrading territories, similar to a war-themed sandbox game.

Of course, the game difficulty is not small.

Besides complex controls, there are no official settings like teammates. This means you have to be wary of friends at all times, as betrayal by grouped teammates is not uncommon in this game.

The person who was just arguing with Bai Luo was a friend he had met over the past three weeks, and his only teammate. Their online name was - Princess in the Bamboo Forest.

Female, enjoys watching anime, dramas, and playing games, hot-tempered, a complete shut-in, and seems to have mental issues, repeatedly saying she is a Princess and likes to call herself Kaguya.

Bai Luo could see this person online every time he logged in. When they first met, he was worried this person might suddenly die, but seeing them always lively, he just assumed they were exceptionally gifted.

Bai Luo now seriously suspected that this fake Princess was a cheater, after all, in this game where teams consist of dozens, even hundreds or thousands of people, the other party, just like him, was playing solo.

In this game, there are only two possibilities for a solo player—

1. Newbie player, not yet familiar with the game, and has not found their legion.

2. Unbelievably strong. Currently, Bai Luo has only seen two such people, one is him, and the other is this fake Princess.

You know, he could only do this with the help of the Great Sage, and it would be even more impossible for others.

...

"You can't even beat me while cheating, what game are you still playing? Why don't you just delete your account and start over!"

Bai Luo retorted without reservation, making a certain Princess in the bamboo forest irritable.

Inside Eientei—

"If this guy isn't cheating, Kaguya won't touch a computer for a month!"

Kaguya Houraisan slammed the table angrily and turned to ask the bunny-eared girl beside her:

"Reisen, you saw it too, right? This guy is a complete cheater. How dare he slander Kaguya for cheating? How can Kaguya's Eien and Sunyu be considered cheating!"

Reisen choked a bit and could only smile politely, silently complaining in her heart, "It seems we aren't much better than cheaters over here either."

But considering the Princess's face, she still nodded, "Mm, I saw it."

Upon receiving affirmation, Kaguya Houraisan immediately felt a sense of relief and pride. "My touch wasn't good today, and the network was unstable, otherwise, even if he was cheating, Kaguya could still beat him!"

"Mm, the internet speed probably slowed down as time slowed down too," Reisen echoed obediently.

Kaguya Houraisan was very satisfied. She turned back, turned on the microphone, and taunted, "Idiot, Kaguya wasn't cheating. On the contrary, are you perhaps a thief crying 'stop thief'?"

Hearing this, Bai Luo didn't feel guilty at all. How could the Great Sage be a cheat? Absolutely not!

So, the two continued to bicker until the sun set, and the argument came to an end.

At this moment, Yakumo Ran stood behind Bai Luo, staring intently at the screen, and asked curiously, "Young Master Bai, do you know the Princess of Eientei?"

Bai Luo was startled upon hearing this. "The Princess of Eientei?"

Yakumo Ran nodded. "Her name is Kaguya Houraisan. She was originally the Princess of the Moon and now lives in the Misty Bamboo Forest, not far from here. A few years ago, when I went to Eientei, I visited their Princess's room and remember her game name was this."

Bai Luo: "....."

Bai Luo fell silent. He never expected that this person was a real Princess, and coincidentally lived in Fantasy Land.

You know, during these three weeks, when the other party argued with him, they often said things like - if they could follow the internet cable over, they would pin him to the ground and beat his head in.

Thinking of this, Bai Luo looked resentful and said indignantly to the Great Sage in his heart, "Great Sage, why didn't you remind me that that person is Kaguya Houraisan!"

[Notification. As the necessary conditions were not met, would you like to be reminded in similar situations in the future?]

The Great Sage's voice came out.

Bai Luo ground his teeth, always feeling that the Great Sage was deliberately watching him make a fool of himself.

"Enable it. Tell me immediately if you encounter such things in the future!"

After giving instructions, Bai Luo turned off the computer and turned to Yakumo Ran.

"Ran, if I get bullied, will you help me?"

"Yes!"

Yakumo Ran nodded without hesitation, but after a few seconds, she cautiously asked, "Is it the Princess of Eientei?"

Bai Luo nodded, "It's her."

After getting confirmation, Yakumo Ran immediately felt a bit dejected. She weakly said, "How about Young Master Bai, you go find Zi Daren?"

"What do you mean? You just agreed so quickly, and it hasn't been long, and you're already backing out!"

Bai Luo accused her, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Just kidding.

If he went to find Yakumo Yukari, she would definitely make some excessive demands.

No matter what, he couldn't go find that person.

Yakumo Ran quickly explained, "If it's just dealing with that Princess, Ran is certainly fine. But if it's Yagokoro Eirin-sama..."

Saying this, she gave a bitter smile.

Yagokoro Eirin, although Kaguya Houraisan's attendant, was the Moon Sage who was famous among Youkai back then, and her strength was even more unfathomable.

Bai Luo chuckled, "You don't have to worry about that. If it really comes to that situation, you just deal with that Princess, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't asked to fight Yagokoro Eirin, everything else was negotiable.

As for Young Master Bai's plan, Yakumo Ran could naturally guess a bit. He was clearly going to ask Yuuka-sama for help. Only their own Young Master Bai would dare to go to Yuuka-sama for such a matter.

As expected, after giving her instructions, Bai Luo left without delay, heading straight towards the Sunflower Field.

...

In front of the Dream House, Kazami Yuuka leaned back in a deck chair, holding a cup of floral tea, drinking it leisurely.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, her gaze fell on the entrance of the Flower Field. Seeing the figure bouncing and running towards her, the corner of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

She put down the teacup, but before she could speak, Bai Luo had already rushed in front of her, tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, his tender little face full of sadness.

"A-San, I was bullied."

Chapter 22: Reimu, Where Are Your Principles?

"Who?"

Her expression turned cold. Kazami Yuuka didn't ask for the reason, nor did she care about the reason.

"Kaguya Houraisan."

"Eientei?"

Hearing this, her scarlet eyes narrowed into a thin line, killing intent emerged, and her voice became even lower and more dangerous.

Without another word, she picked up her parasol and stood up.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing this, Bai Luo quickly reached out and grabbed her. Kazami Yuuka turned her head. "Since she provoked you, she must pay the price. If Yakumo Yukari doesn't step up, then I will."

Kazami Yuuka's words were domineering, but Bai Luo didn't want her to actually go kill someone at Eientei. Besides not wanting to escalate the conflict, it was mostly because the current situation was one where the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark.

As of now, this shut-in Princess did not know his identity.

So, Bai Luo pulled Kazami Yuuka and shook his head righteously, "Now is not the time. When the time comes, that fake Princess will naturally pay the price."

Kazami Yuuka's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, she slowly nodded.

Hearing this, Bai Luo let out a long breath, released the corner of her clothes, and then said with a smile:

"If that guy comes looking for trouble, remember to help me out, okay?"

"Okay."

...

After chatting a bit more with Kazami Yuuka and mooching a few cups of floral tea, Bai Luo left the Sunflower Field and turned to go to Hakurei Shrine.

Surprisingly, the main gate was open today. From afar, Reimu could be seen sitting at a low table in the middle of the prayer hall.

Changed her ways?

Bai Luo blinked blankly until he caught sight of the petite girl sitting directly opposite Reimu.

This is... a worshipper!?

He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again uncertainly.

Since meeting Reimu, Bai Luo had only seen Marisa occasionally come to the shrine, let alone other believers coming to worship.

[Notification. The other party's name is Ibuki Suika, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni, her personality is bold and simple, she loves alcohol like her life, possesses the ability to control density and sparsity, her danger level is low, and she is friends with Hakurei Reimu.]

The Great Sage's voice sounded, Bai Luo was startled, his gaze fell on the petite girl, and only then did he notice the pair of extremely conspicuous long horns on her head.

They were like deer antlers, pale yellow and wide, but the faint shimmering luster indicated the hardness of this pair of horns.

Oni?

Bai Luo nodded in realization, his original confusion immediately dissipated. Just as he thought, how could anyone come to worship at Hakurei Shrine?

While he was thinking, Ibuki Suika inside the shrine noticed the figure outside the door and shook the half-drunk, half-awake Reimu:

"There's someone at the door, are they looking for you?"

"Looking for me?" With hazy eyes, she looked outside the door. After seeing clearly who it was, a hint of excitement appeared on Reimu's face.

Under Ibuki Suika's bewildered gaze, she suddenly stood up and walked out quickly to greet the other party.

She pulled the other party's wrist, dragged him to sit down at the low table, and smiled brightly.

"Young Master Bai, what wind brought you here?"

Saying this, Reimu poured a cup of sake for Bai Luo.

This scene left Ibuki Suika dumbfounded. Was this the first time she had seen Reimu so enthusiastic towards someone?

She glanced at the cup on the table again and couldn't help but shrink her neck. Wasn't this Reimu's own cup?

Ibuki Suika remained silent, not even touching the sake anymore. Her gaze subtly scanned back and forth between Reimu and Bai Luo, contemplating their relationship.
