Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Hearing this, Bai Luo thought for a moment, then nodded:

"Then I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome, follow me."

With that said, Fujiwara no Mokou walked ahead to lead the way, and Bai Luo followed.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally stopped.

"This is it."

In front was a wooden house, with the words 'Registration Office' written on the door.

The furnishings inside the house were simple; besides a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else.

At this moment, a young girl was sitting beside the table, holding a pen and busily writing something down.

Hearing footsteps from the doorway, she looked up, saw the visitors, and half-jokingly said:

"What a rare guest. Do you need me to make you a cup of tea?"

It wasn't that Fujiwara no Mokou had never brought people to register before, but she would at most see them to the door and leave immediately.

"No need."

Fujiwara no Mokou glanced at her, then turned her head and whispered to Bai Luo:

"She is Hieda no Akyuu. You only need to record your personal information. If you encounter questions you don't want to answer or find inconvenient, you can choose not to."

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Luo nodded obediently, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Hieda no Akyuu listened to their conversation, a faint, unreadable smile playing on her lips. It was the first time she had seen Fujiwara no Mokou be so patient.

Once they were seated, Hieda no Akyuu opened a thick ledger, held her pen, and began to ask:

"Name?"

"Bai Luo."

"Race?"

"Slime, should count as a type of Youkai, right..."

"Slime? A race I haven't heard of."

Hieda no Akyuu thought back, but couldn't find that name.

"In this world, I should be the only Slime," Bai Luo explained, seeing A Qiu's confusion.

"Like the Boundary Youkai, one person, one race?" Hieda no Akyuu was a little surprised and asked curiously, "Can I see your true form?"

Bai Luo nodded in agreement, twisted his body, changed back into a Slime, bounced onto the table, and rolled around a few times.

Looking at the sea-blue transparent ball in front of her, Hieda no Akyuu strongly suppressed the urge to go forward and hug him, and continued to record:

"Do you belong to any faction?"

Before Bai Luo could answer, she habitually wrote 'No faction' on the paper. Except for special circumstances, people or Youkai who just entered Fantasy Land were usually alone.

"Sort of."

Bai Luo was a little unsure.

That Yakumo Yukari just casually said back then: 'From now on, you are a member of the Yakumo Residence.'

And then there was no 'then'.

There were no rituals, no symbolic items. If anything, it was the considerable amount of pocket money he received every month.

"Sort of?"

Is this something you can be 'sort of' about?

Hieda no Akyuu was a little confused, and even Fujiwara no Mokou beside her was equally bewildered.

"If that Yakumo Yukari isn't brain-damaged, then the faction I belong to should be the Yakumo Residence."

Bai Luo said seriously.

"Yakumo Residence?"

Her eyelid twitched violently, and Hieda no Akyuu was somewhat incredulous.

Fujiwara no Mokou was the same. She hadn't expected the Little One she casually met on the road to actually be related to Yakumo Yukari.

And... brain-damaged?

Daring to say Yakumo Yukari is brain-damaged, merely being a person from the Yakumo Residence couldn't do that. At least Yakumo Ran couldn't.

In an instant, the way Hieda no Akyuu and Fujiwara no Mokou looked at Bai Luo changed.

"Is something wrong?"

Bai Luo asked suspiciously. Hieda no Akyuu shook her head, "Nothing, just a little surprised."

The registration continued.

The rest were just things like place of residence, hobbies, etc. Including some personal questions Hieda no Akyuu asked out of curiosity, the whole process took less than half an hour.

After the registration was completed, Hieda no Akyuu decided to make a request she had suppressed for a long time. She gently closed the ledger, looked up, and said seriously:

"Then, can I hug you?"

"Huh!?"

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, then seeing the sincere and earnest look on Hieda no Akyuu's face, he quietly pushed his chair back a bit.

"The 'hug' you're talking about is my true form, right? If it's the true form, it's not impossible..."

"If possible, I'd like to choose both."

"Thump--"

Bai Luo decisively pushed the chair away and hid behind Fujiwara no Mokou, only poking out his head, glaring angrily at Hieda no Akyuu:

"Don't even think about it! Dream on!"

Bai Luo didn't dislike being hugged by a beautiful girl, but definitely not in this identity, and not in this situation.

Beautiful girls are precious, but integrity is even more so, especially in Fantasy Land where integrity is in the negative.

In the end, Hieda no Akyuu's goal was achieved, but only halfway.

She fiercely hugged Bai Luo, who had turned into his Slime form, burying her face in him, disregarding his protests and struggles, hugging and sniffing him, her face full of satisfaction.

...

After angrily complaining to A Qiu for a few sentences, Bai Luo bid farewell to Meihong and rushed back to the Happy Hut without stopping.

He had originally planned to buy furniture and go back immediately to decorate, moving in tonight, but he hadn't expected so many unexpected things to happen.

Perhaps it was the luck of a lazy person, but on the way back, Bai Luo discovered an unexpected surprise.

A stone.

A not-so-simple stone.

To Bai Luo, it was just an ordinary stone, but Great Sage said it was a treasure.

Just the initial analysis alone would take two hours.

By the time Bai Luo returned near the Sunflower Field, the sunset had already filled the clouds.

In the direction of his home, Bai Luo faintly saw a figure, holding an umbrella, standing in front of his door.

Could it be...

A thief!?

Chapter 8: Kazami Yuuka's Anger +1+1+1...

"What are you doing here?"

Bai Luo approached and asked cautiously.

Hearing the sound, the woman holding the umbrella turned around. Her crimson eyes scrutinized Bai Luo. She didn't answer Bai Luo's question but instead asked:

"Are you the owner of this house?"

Don't tell me I'm this unlucky and Kazami Yuuka came looking for me.

Bai Luo's heart fluttered, but he still pretended to be calm:

"Is there something you need me for?"

"Just passing by."

The woman said coldly, glancing in the direction of the Yakumo Residence.

"Are you one of Yakumo Yukari's people?"

Although he didn't know how the other party knew, Bai Luo didn't hide it and nodded slightly, while also sizing up the cold woman in front of him.

Short emerald green hair, a red plaid skirt, and an exquisite face carrying waves of cold air capable of freezing things solid.

Great Sage was currently analyzing that stone and couldn't tell him the identity of the person in front of him.

Bai Luo racked his brain, trying to recall Kazami Yuuka's appearance, but unfortunately, that memory was too distant, and he couldn't remember.

According to Ran, Kazami Yuuka wouldn't leave the Sunflower Field more than a few times a year, and even when she did, it was to go to the Human Village.

Furthermore, his Happy Hut was located on the side of the Sunflower Field; even if she went to the Human Village, she wouldn't pass through here.

Therefore, it was unlikely to be Kazami Yuuka.

Thinking this, Bai Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief, but to be safe, he still asked:

"Do you know that Yakumo Yukari?"

"Don't know her."

Kazami Yuuka gave a decisive answer, which made the large stone hanging in Bai Luo's heart completely drop—Yakumo Yukari had said that she and Yuuka were good friends who had known each other for a thousand years.

However, Bai Luo didn't notice the hint of disdain that flashed in Kazami Yuuka's eyes when she said she didn't know her.

"Want to come in and sit for a bit?"

Bai Luo extended the invitation. Fantasy Land was full of dangers. Although he was currently covered by Yakumo Yukari and Yakumo Ran, it wouldn't hurt to build good relationships with more people.

Moreover, just by looking at her demeanor, Bai Luo was certain that this elder sister holding an umbrella in front of him was not a simple character; she was at least a potential stock.

And so, without waiting for Kazami Yuuka to refuse, Bai Luo walked up to her side and half-pushed, half-pulled her into the house.

First, he put a plate of sunflower seeds on the table, then asked with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

Bai Luo's consistent enthusiasm made Kazami Yuuka swallow the words she was about to say back down, and she subtly glanced at him:

"Flower tea."

Bai Luo took out the items he had bought today from his stomach pouch. After rummaging through them, he couldn't find any flower tea, so he turned his head and said awkwardly:

"Is green tea okay?"

"It's fine."

Kazami Yuuka nodded. Bai Luo rummaged again. After half a minute, he quietly turned back around.

"Um... I don't have green tea either. Is black tea okay?"

Kazami Yuuka was helpless and suppressed the urge to unleash a Magic Cannon. She nodded again.

Fortunately, after some searching this time, Bai Luo successfully found a bag of black tea from a pile of snacks.

"What kind of Youkai are you?"

Watching Bai Luo occasionally spit out some things, a hint of curiosity flashed in Kazami Yuuka's eyes.

"Me? I'm a Slime."

Bai Luo didn't turn around, focusing on brewing the tea.

Slime?
