Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

“It’s not hot, no... I think I really have a fever!”

Feeling the temperature gradually rise, Bai Luo took out a bottle of recovery potion from his stomach pouch, but before he could drink it, Reimu, who had reacted, suddenly stood up and backed away. Her cheeks were even redder, and she repeatedly waved her hands:

“I’m fine, it’s just too stuffy and hot, I can’t breathe.”

Hearing this, Bai Luo glanced at her with half-belief, and didn’t ask further. After putting the recovery potion back, he got up and opened all the surrounding windows.

“Then why did you close all the windows? The Hakurei Shrine already has poor air circulation. It’s better to keep the doors and windows leading to the inner rooms open as much as possible, especially since it’s still so hot now…”

Bai Luo babbled on, while Reimu listened quietly beside him.

Chapter 29 A-San~ I Need Your Help With Something

The morning sun wasn’t fierce, and as layers of sunlight poured down, a gentle breeze also blew.

In front of a small Western-style house in the Sunflower Field, Kazami Yuuka leaned back in her chair, holding a cup of flower tea, looking at the sunflowers blooming in the Flower Field, and leisurely sipping.

Suddenly, her vision went dark, a pair of hands covered her eyes, and a small female voice sounded: “Guess who I am?”

“Bai Luo.”

Kazami Yuuka calmly said the other party's name, a good-humored arc on her lips.

Seeing that she guessed it so easily, Bai Luo pouted and mumbled: “I even changed the gender of my voice, how could you still guess it!”

“Aura.”

Kazami Yuuka gave the answer: “Besides voice and appearance, aura can also be used to distinguish, and you can also judge through the soul.”

Hearing this, Bai Luo glanced at her faintly, but then seemed to remember something, his small face excited, and he asked mysteriously:

“Guess how I got behind you. Here’s a hint, it’s not Yakumo Yukari’s gap.”

“It seems to be a space ability. Is this your new ability?”

“That’s right! Isn’t it amazing? This is an ability I just recently acquired. Where my thoughts go, I can reach.”

“Very impressive.”

Kazami Yuuka praised him, not deliberately. Any ability related to space is not bad.

“Do you think, with my current strength and this ability, I can defeat that fake Princess?”

“The one at Eientei?”

“Mhm mhm.”

Bai Luo nodded repeatedly.

“No.” Kazami Yuuka answered decisively, “Her ability is called Eternity and Instant, and her control over time is very high.”

“Furthermore, as a Penglai person, she is inherently immortal and indestructible. Even if you can teleport as you wish, the chance of defeating her is extremely slim.”

Kazami Yuuka spoke mercilessly, causing Bai Luo’s small face to be filled with resentment.

“Oh…”

He said ‘oh’ in a bad mood, picked up a piece of flower cake from the table and ate it. His gloomy look made her unable to help but laugh. She said:

“With your current strength, combined with your ability, reaching the level of a high-level Youkai is no longer a problem.”

She paused, then continued:

“Don’t forget, you’ve only been cultivating for just over a month. In my experience, this speed makes even those so-called geniuses appear dim.”

He looked up at her: “Is it really that amazing?”

She nodded, “Mhm.”

After being praised a few times, Bai Luo’s mood brightened again. Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of his visit. He took a small piece of coal from his stomach pouch and handed it to Kazami Yuuka.

Her crimson eyes blinked blankly. She took the piece of coal, not understanding.

“Can you squeeze this piece of coal hard?”

Kazami Yuuka was even more confused, but she still cooperated, closing her hand and squeezing. Like a sponge, the coal, which was originally half the size of a fist, instantly became smaller.

“Open your hand and let me see.” Bai Luo was full of anticipation, however, when Kazami Yuuka opened her hand, the hope on his face instantly disappeared, and he felt completely disheartened.

The coal was still coal, just smaller and more solid.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Bai Luo’s unhappiness, Kazami Yuuka frowned, very puzzled.

“I heard that as long as you have enough strength, you can squeeze coal into diamonds. I thought I could succeed.”

Bai Luo muttered in disappointment. He had originally planned to make a fortune with this.

Hearing this, Kazami Yuuka didn’t speak, but just closed her hand again. A layer of green light covered the surface. With a light squeeze, when she opened her hand again, a transparent crystal the size of a finger appeared in her palm.

“Is this what you want?”

“Yes! This is it!”

Bai Luo’s eyes lit up. He reached out and took it. The diamond sparkled under the sunlight.

“A-San~”

Bai Luo suddenly flashed behind Kazami Yuuka, placing his hands on her shoulders, “Can I ask you for a favor?”

“What is it?”

“You help me squeeze the coal into diamonds, and I’ll sell them in the Human Village. We’ll split the money we get, four-six.”

Bai Luo said, while also massaging her shoulders.

As soon as Bai Luo said this, Yakumo Yukari, who was secretly watching in the gap, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.

In the morning, Bai Luo had confidently said he had a way to get money and didn't need her. She was curious about what method it was, but she never expected it to be asking Kazami Yuuka to squeeze coal into diamonds to sell.

This kind of method, perhaps only Bai Luo would dare to think of it. If it were someone else, they would have been blasted into dust by a Magic Cannon long ago.

Kazami Yuuka didn’t answer immediately. She thought for a while, then shook her head.

Bai Luo thought he was asking for too much, so he said again: “Can we split it two-eight? I only need two-tenths.”

Kazami Yuuka still shook her head. Seeing this, Bai Luo wasn’t angry, after all, he was just running errands, and it mainly depended on the other party.

“Then can we split it one-nine? I only need one-tenth. As good friends, you wouldn’t even be unwilling to give me one-tenth, right?”

Bai Luo said this, and even showed a wronged expression.

Kazami Yuuka still shook her head. Seeing Bai Luo’s resentful expression, she laughed before speaking.

“Diamonds, as you call them, are not popular in Fantasy Land. Silver and gold are the hard currency here.”

Hearing this, Bai Luo immediately became sad. The path to wealth he had finally thought of was killed before it even began to be implemented.

Could it be that he really had to find Yakumo Yukari?

No!

Remembering the scene where the other party proudly told him to call her sister and teased him, he instantly dismissed the idea.

“Are you short on money?”

Confusion appeared in her crimson eyes. In Kazami Yuuka’s opinion, Yakumo Residence, as a top power in Fantasy Land, would not be short on money.

“My allowance for this month is used up.”

Bai Luo replied lifelessly. To be honest, the allowance Ran gave him was quite a lot, but he had too many places that required money this month, and he spent money too quickly.

Moreover, precisely because of this, he was too embarrassed to ask Yakumo Ran for money again and could only wait until next month's allowance was credited.

“Don’t Yakumo Yukari and that little fox give you money? If that’s the case, why not consider coming to my Sunflower Field.”

Kazami Yuuka took the opportunity to ask a question.

“Ran’s allowance is quite a lot, actually, it’s just used up. As for Purple Old Woman…”

Speaking of this, Bai Luo seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and a hint of disgust appeared on his small face: “She said I could have allowance, but I had to exchange my body for it. She wanted me to accompany her for a night.”

Hearing this, even Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but be a little shocked, her pupils slightly widening.

At this point, Yakumo Yukari, who was hiding in the gap, couldn't bear it anymore. You can't slander people like that. What does it mean to accompany her for a night? She remembered that what she had proposed at the time was just sleeping with a Slime pillow for a night, right?

Unable to bear it any longer, she directly opened a gap above Bai Luo's head and fiercely struck him, however, it hit the air or rather, particles of purple碎光.

Bai Luo disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind Kazami Yuuka. He poked his head out and looked at Yakumo Yukari with disdain:

“I knew you, this Purple Old Woman, would sneak attack. You’re so old, aren’t you ashamed?”

Chapter 30 Fellow Countrymen Meet Fellow Countrymen, Tears Flowing From Both Eyes

Veins popped out on her forehead, and her fan creaked as if it would fall apart at any moment. Yakumo Yukari exhaled a breath of turbid air and forced a smile at Kazami Yuuka:

“I worked so hard to raise Xiao Bai Luo to be this big, Yuuka, how can you steal him?”

“If I remember correctly, it’s only been a little over a month since you found Bai Luo until now.”

Kazami Yuuka replied impolitely.

“Exactly, exactly.”

Bai Luo nodded in agreement, but the next second he turned his head to look at Kazami Yuuka, his voice faint: “Can you use more appropriate words next time? Who was picked up by that guy?”

Hearing this, Kazami Yuuka chuckled, then glanced at Yakumo Yukari with disdain: “He has such a hard time getting money at your Yakumo Residence, why not come to the Sunflower Field.”

“Damn it, I don’t manage the money, and besides, what I said at the time was just to hug his Slime pillow, don’t just casually slander me!” Yakumo Yukari grumbled in dissatisfaction.

“Heh heh.” Kazami Yuuka completely ignored her and turned to ask Bai Luo: “Do you want to come to my Sunflower Field? You can have as much allowance as you want.”

“Yuuka, you’re going too far! You’re poaching my person right in front of me!” Yakumo Yukari was furious.

Her crimson eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing flashes of dangerous light.

“What if I am? Do you want to fight me? I’m ready anytime.”

Saying this, she grinned, “I don’t mind if you bring that little fox of yours with you.”

“Fight! Fight!!”

An untimely voice sounded. Bai Luo stood on the chair, holding two colorful sticks he had pulled out from who knows where and waving them, looking as if he didn’t mind the trouble.

Yakumo Yukari was choked. She inexplicably felt like her child had grown up and wouldn't stay, reaching a rebellious stage.

Of course, she couldn't really fight Kazami Yuuka. In helplessness, she could only leave.

Returning to the Yakumo Residence, she immediately found Yakumo Ran, recounted what had just happened, and tearfully complained:

“Ran, I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep your future husband for you.”

“Zi Daren, please stop saying such boring things.”

Yakumo Ran took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her tone calm, but a few dark lines inevitably appeared between her brows.

“Besides, Young Master Bai is still so young, it’s not appropriate in any way.”

Yakumo Yukari undeniably agreed, pretended to think for a moment, then covered half of her face with her fan, blinking her exposed left eye:

“That’s right, then it seems I, this seventeen-year-old girl, will have to go for it myself.”

Hearing this, Yakumo Ran’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

“If Zi Daren wants to be called an old cow eating young grass, then go ahead and do your best.”

This sentence was too abrupt and too shocking, causing the smile on Yakumo Yukari’s face to instantly freeze.

...

At the same time, Bai Luo, who was worried about money, was wandering around.

Kazami Yuuka’s words about Bai Luo joining the Sunflower Field were serious, but he didn’t agree.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, Bai Luo didn’t dislike the Yakumo Residence, and could even be said to like it.

As he walked, a Western-style mansion came into view—

The color scheme was as vibrant as blood, giving a sense of mystery and majesty.
