Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

“That library is indeed located in the basement of our Scarlet Devil Mansion, but it does not belong to the Scarlet Devil Mansion's property. However, I can help you ask Miss Patchouli about it.”

“As soon as possible will do.”

“Please follow me, I will take you there.”

Sakuya Izayoi turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, then turned and walked ahead, while Kazami Yuuka followed behind.

Only Hong Meiling was left messy in the wind, covering her still faintly aching chest and doubting life.

No.

Just borrowing a book?

Then what was her passionate blood and desperate resistance just now for!!!

...

“Borrowing a book?”

Patchouli's gaze turned from Sakuya Izayoi and landed on Kazami Yuuka, nodding gently.

“No problem, what book do you want? I can help you find it.”

“Something about love.”

“...Hmm?”

Patchouli froze on the spot. Even someone like her, who spends all year in the library, had heard of the Flower Tyrant's name.

Flower Tyrant...

Borrowing a book about love?

Putting these two terms together felt strange no matter how she thought about it.

Not only Patchouli, but even Sakuya Izayoi on the side was looking bewildered.

“Is it a romance novel?”

Patchouli pressed on.

“I don't know.”

Kazami Yuuka shook her head.

Patchouli was speechless for a moment, unsure what book to choose.

After a moment of thought, she asked: “Why do you want to read a romance novel? What's the reason?”

Kazami Yuuka was silent for a few seconds, then replied: “I want to know what my feelings for him are.”

Chapter 95 Kazami Yuuka! Get out here, Kaguya!

Regarding the rumors about Kazami Yuuka and Bai Luo.

Patchouli had already heard about them, but she didn't expect her to say it so directly.

Patchouli thought for a moment, took out three books from the bookshelf, and handed them to Kazami Yuuka.

“You can read these three books first. They all have related explanations, which might be helpful to you.”

Kazami Yuuka took the books and glanced at the pages.

“Okay.”

She put away the books and was about to get up and leave, but seemed to remember something. Her footsteps paused, and she turned back to ask:

“He said you are very knowledgeable. Can you tell me what love is?”

The sudden question made Patchouli freeze in place. How would she know what love is? She had never been in a relationship.

Out of necessity.

She could only try her best to recall the content mentioned in these three books, combined with her own understanding.

“If you like someone, you will worry if he encounters danger or trouble, care about his living situation, care if he is injured, or if he is sad.”

“At the same time, liking is about exploration. You will want to understand a person, just like loving the house and its owner. If you love something, you have to know what it is, and then protect it, cherish it. This is love.”

Kazami Yuuka lowered her head, carefully pondering Patchouli's words.

Patchouli added: “Moreover, love also has a certain selfishness. You are unwilling to share with others and will hope that the other person will always stay by your side.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Kazami Yuuka listened carefully to every word she said, then picked up the three books and left.

In her memory, love had always been a blank space.

She had never understood what love was.

However, from Patchouli's explanation of love just now, Kazami Yuuka realized that she might have already fallen in love with the Little One.

Her feelings for him were also love.

After figuring this out, the feeling of frustration in her heart lessened a lot, and her mood improved again.

She returned to the Sunflower Field.

Kazami Yuuka sat in front of the Dream House as usual.

The difference was that this time she wasn't admiring the flowers, but quietly reading a book.

...

Bai Luo hadn't been online for a long time.

Kaguya felt something was wrong.

Moreover, the messages she sent him were all unanswered.

Suddenly, she recalled their last conversation a while ago—

“You said... what does it feel like after a person dies?”

“After death? Usually the soul goes to the Netherworld, reports to Lord Yama, and then reincarnates.”

“What does it feel like if even the soul disappears completely?”

“Then Kaguya wouldn't know. Even if Kaguya's soul is scattered, she can quickly reassemble it. If I had to describe it, it would be nothingness, like sleeping without dreams, feeling nothing, fleeting.”

Based on her years of experience surfing the internet.

This conversation was very strange.

No.

Kaguya shook her head violently, throwing that guess to the back of her mind.

How could it be?

Bai Luo was a Slime who was going to become a Demon Lord. He had Yakumo Yukari and Kazami Yuuka by his side, and at worst, Yagokoro Eirin would help.

She was definitely just scaring herself.

Kaguya pretended to be calm and rushed to the pharmacy.

Bai Luo had even visited Yagokoro Eirin a few days ago.

How could something happen?

She opened the door and immediately asked: “Yagokoro Eirin, do you know where Bai Luo is?”

Yagokoro Eirin shook her head.

“Does Princess have something for him?”

“He hasn't been online recently, and he's not replying to my messages.”

Kaguya felt increasingly panicked, always feeling uneasy.

“Perhaps he was just delayed by something, don't worry yet.”

“Okay.”

Kaguya tried hard to calm herself down, but the uneasy guess always lingered in her mind.

No, she must go see Bai Luo.

“Kaguya is going out for a trip.”

With that, Kaguya rushed out.

Yagokoro Eirin looked at her departing back and sighed softly.

It happened to be raining.

The scene at this moment increasingly resembled those classic plots.

“Pitter-patter... pitter-patter...”

Kaguya's steps became more hurried. Her feet stepped on the wet soil, splashing water.

Her clothes were soaked, and mud stuck to them, clinging uncomfortably to her body.

Finally, she stopped, but when she looked up, she couldn't see that little hut.

How could this be?

Where is the Happy Hut?

It was clearly here...

That guess, like a tumor, grew and destroyed wildly in her mind.

Kaguya began to regret playing so many of those games.

She just stood there quietly, looking at the empty space in front of her.

Time passed minute by minute.

Suddenly.

The rain intensified sharply.

Raindrops hit her cheeks and neck, bringing a stinging sensation that made her clear her head considerably.

Kaguya wiped the rain off her face and managed to muster a smile.

Games are just games after all.

How could reality be so melodramatic?

Right!

He is a person from the Yakumo Residence. Perhaps he moved back to the Yakumo Residence.

Thinking this, Kaguya quickly rushed towards the Yakumo Residence.

Because her own Yagokoro Eirin and Yakumo Yukari had a strained relationship, this was Kaguya's first time visiting the Yakumo Residence.

Walking into the Yakumo Residence, it was unusually quiet.

She looked around but didn't see a single person.

Following Bai Luo's previous description, Kaguya quickly found the location of his room.

“Knock knock knock.”

She knocked on the door, but there was no response.

“Bai Luo!”

She called out again, but after half a minute, there was still no response.

No way!

Absolutely no way!

Kaguya clenched her fists.

She took a deep breath and reached out to push the door open.

The room was empty.
