Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

No matter how high the mountain, it can eventually be climbed; no matter how long the road, it can eventually be reached. But once some people leave, they are worlds apart.

Kazami Yuuka closed her eyes. She tried hard not to think, but that sun-like smile clung to her like a persistent disease, constantly growing in her mind.

Moonlight shone on her through the sparse clouds.

The light and shadows were mottled, bleak as frost.

"Who!"

Kazami Yuuka suddenly opened her eyes, her scarlet eyes filled with killing intent, staring directly to the left.

She raised her parasol, and just as she was about to act, she suddenly froze.

In the darkness, it was a slender, young figure.

It was Little One.

He wasn't dead?

He stood quietly not far away, his gaze fixed on her.

His vision was blurry yet clear.

The sound of her heart beating gradually became clear.

Kazami Yuuka slowly lowered her parasol and walked step by step towards Bai Luo.

She walked very slowly, as if afraid this was just a dream that would disappear without a trace if she wasn't careful.

Finally, she came before him.

He still stood quietly, without any response.

Kazami Yuuka frowned and tentatively reached out her hand.

But the moment her fingertips touched his cheek, he dodged away. Before Kazami Yuuka could react—

"Slap—"

The loud sound of a slap shattered the silence.

Great Sage stared at her coldly, its scarlet pupils reflecting Kazami Yuuka's figure.

Kazami Yuuka was stunned.

Great Sage took out the things Bai Luo had left behind: "These are the gifts he prepared for you."

A ring engraved with a flower.

A greeting card that could say 'Happy Birthday'.

And a Slime doll made with him as the template, which could pre-record voices.

Kazami Yuuka accepted these three items in a daze.

Then, Great Sage said again: "He doesn't blame you. That just now was something I wanted to do myself. You can get revenge anytime."

Kazami Yuuka clutched the ring and card tightly, already guessing the identity of the 'Bai Luo' before her.

"Could my sunflower seeds help him evolve faster?"

Great Sage nodded calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you ask me for those sunflower seeds!?"

Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but question.

Great Sage was silent for a long time before saying: "Initially, there was no need. But later, when I realized the situation was wrong, it was already too late."

"But no matter what, you should have tried!"

Kazami Yuuka's emotions became agitated.

She would rather the entire Sunflower Field disappear than have him die so silently.

But the next moment, Great Sage's words completely crushed her, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"He asked, but you also said that your favorite thing was flowers, and the thing you hated most was someone destroying your Flower Field."

Hearing this, Kazami Yuuka's mind buzzed. She bit her lip and only asked after a long while:

"...Does he really not blame me?"

Great Sage slightly lowered its gaze and looked elsewhere:

"Mm."

After a pause, it continued: "You were not wrong in the first place. Moreover, you didn't know anything. In the end, the person he loved most was still you. He just felt unwilling."

Kazami Yuuka paused for a moment, her heart aching sharply, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Many complex emotions were intertwined in her heart.

Happiness, sadness, heartache...

"I love him too. The one I love most is him. I love Little One, and I love Bai Luo."

"Mm."

Great Sage responded, turned around, and walked back. When it reached the foot of the mountain, a female voice suddenly sounded:

"Xiao Bai Luo probably didn't order these gifts to be sent, nor did he wish for them to be sent out."

Yakumo Yukari walked out from the gap.

Great Sage pursed its lips, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I know."

Yakumo Yukari watched her, complex light flickering in her purple eyes.

"What are your plans next?"

"The command he gave has been completed. I want to accompany him."

Great Sage's voice was calm, but upon careful listening, one could detect the trembling within it.

"But he also gave a command, ordering you to live."

Great Sage lowered its gaze and said nothing. After a long while, it finally said: "I know... I know..."

...

The voice stopped abruptly here.

The noisy sound finally disappeared.

He originally thought he could get a good night's sleep next, but the next moment, a sobbing sound came again.

It was a female voice.

She was crying, trembling, and afraid.

Why?

His mind was blank.

Who was he?

He couldn't remember anything...

Had he lost his memory?

She was still crying, crying very sadly.

It shouldn't be like this. She shouldn't be crying.

He wanted to comfort her, but found he couldn't do it at all; he couldn't even open his eyes.

Suddenly.

A familiar melody sounded.

It was a simple, plain children's lullaby.

The moment the singing began, it was greedily consumed by his ears.

Memories of the past gradually surfaced—

That was a forgotten city.

Abandoned houses were long covered by thorns and vines, only mottled traces remained on the streets, large patches of bloodstains, one dismembered body part after another, the aura of death permeated the air.

The sky at that time was so dark it seemed as if the end of the world was about to arrive.

The boy sat in the corner, his hands wrapped around his legs, his face buried in his knees, sobbing softly.

Around him, besides the terrifying roars of monsters, only the wind echoed in the silent air.

The boy didn't understand.

He didn't understand why it was like this, why he would appear in this kind of place.

Clearly...

Clearly, he had been good enough, obedient enough, but why did they still make him alone?

The boy bit his lip, tears flowed down his cheeks, dripping onto the dirty ground.
