Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

"Nothing, can I go to your room?"

Bai Luo pointed towards the side hall.

Reimu was stunned, and after reacting, she retreated repeatedly.

No, no.

She knew why someone would be so kind and suddenly give her money; they clearly had ulterior motives.

But...

Reimu's gaze fell on Bai Luo's tender little face, and she somehow felt it wasn't a loss.

Naturally, Reimu got another flick on the forehead, which hurt so much that she covered her head and tears streamed down.

"Both of you are aiming for the head, aren't you! Be careful not to break it, or I'll make you support me!"

Reimu rubbed her red and swollen head, complaining discontentedly. As of today, her head had suffered countless hardships.

"It's not because you're thinking about all sorts of strange things all day."

Bai Luo took out another bottle of healing potion, poured a little onto his hand, and gently stroked her forehead, his tone helpless: "I just have something in your room that I need to retrieve."

"How would I know? You didn't say so earlier."

Reimu mumbled. Bai Luo's gentle movements, coupled with the cool comfort from the healing potion, made her eyes involuntarily narrow.

"Wait!"

Reimu suddenly froze, catching the keyword.

"You mean, you have something in my room?"

"Is there a problem?"

Bai Luo nodded, his matter-of-fact expression even making Reimu doubt if her own understanding was wrong.

Chapter 12: Don't Bathe Randomly in Slime Hot Springs.

Reimu led Bai Luo to her room suspiciously, only to see Bai Luo walk directly to the cabinet and take a small bag pressed down by a cup.

"What is this? Something you put here?"

Reimu asked, puzzled. She didn't remember this bag being in her room.

"Money."

Bai Luo untied the small red string binding the bag's opening and poured all the gold coins inside onto the table.

Reimu blinked, then her pupils suddenly contracted: "These are the gold coins you put in my room!?"

"That's right."

Bai Luo nodded.

The gold coins emitted a dazzling golden light under the sunlight, making Reimu's eyes feel slightly sore. In her heart, she screamed wildly:

Why didn't I find it earlier!

This vast fortune was extremely tempting to the poor shrine maiden. Reimu gritted her teeth, but ultimately restrained her impulse.

Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder.

"Here, have another gold coin."

Reimu trembled violently, looked up, and that tender little face was even more dazzling. She excitedly pounced: "Young Master Bai, you are simply a god sent from heaven!"

"Alright, alright, don't get so close to me, don't get your drool on me, hey!"

Bai Luo pushed Reimu away with effort. However, the next moment, his legs went soft, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Reimu quickly helped him up: "Young Master Bai, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing..."

Bai Luo waved his hand, pretending to be calm, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Happy Hut, biting his lower lip, his golden eyes burning with anger.

He had only told Yakumo Ran about the hot spring.

Could it be Ran?

It shouldn't be. With Ran's personality, how could she knowingly break the rules?

So...

Is it that bastard Yakumo Yukari!

"I have something I need to go back for first."

With that, without waiting for Reimu to reply, Bai Luo rushed back.

...

Yakumo Ran sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea, and took a gentle sip.

After half a cup of tea, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"Having a cup of hot tea after soaking in a hot spring in the middle of winter is simply too wonderful. It would be even better if I had a bowl of fried tofu."

Yakumo Ran mumbled, her gaze directed towards the corridor: "Where is Marisa? Why is she so slow getting dressed?"

Wait!

Yakumo Ran suddenly realized something, and fine sweat seeped from her temples.

With Marisa's personality, she wouldn't have secretly gone to the hot spring on the right, would she?

Just as she was about to go back and check the situation, footsteps came from the direction of the main door. Bai Luo rushed in, spotted her at a glance, and said angrily:

"Ran, did that guy Yakumo Yukari just come here!"

Yakumo Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"Ran hasn't seen Zi Daren since last night."

"Not Yakumo Yukari? Did you secretly use my hot spring!?"

Bai Luo bit his lip, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Ran immediately knew why Bai Luo had returned. She shook her head like a rattle drum, afraid of taking the blame, and quickly explained: "It was Marisa. Marisa was here just now. It's probably her who snuck into the hot spring on the right."

Marisa!

Good, good, good!!

Bai Luo laughed in extreme anger, a dangerous light flashing in his golden eyes. He split off a clone and ordered Great Sage:

"Great Sage, go and drag that black and white mouse out for me."

【Understood】

Great Sage responded.

...

At the same time.

Marisa, the culprit, was squatting by the edge of the hot spring, vigilantly examining the blue hot spring in front of her.

She had accidentally fallen in just now. Although it was comfortable, the sensation was completely unlike ordinary hot spring water.

She cautiously sat on the edge, tentatively extending her feet again, gently touching the water's surface.

After confirming there was no danger, she stepped her two fair feet into the hot spring, and finally submerged her entire body.

"Hoo—!"

She let out a light breath, feeling the exhilarating sensation of her body being squeezed by the blue liquid. She couldn't help but tremble comfortably a few times.

This hot spring is indeed strange. How could there be such a comfortable hot spring in the world?

"What should I do next? Take some of the spring water back?"

Marisa narrowed her eyes, enjoying her soak in the warm pool. Her entire face was flushed with intoxication, and a slight smile unconsciously curved at the corner of her mouth.

"Forget it! I'll soak for a while first! Anyway, it's still early..."

She murmured softly, closing her eyes and immersing herself in the soothing atmosphere.

Until—

"Hey, hey, hey, what's pulling me—hey, uh, uh, uh...!"

Marisa thrashed desperately.

Her limbs felt as if they were being pulled underwater by several invisible tentacles. She wanted to use magic, but as soon as the magic power surged out, it was immediately swallowed up.

Seeing this, she widened her eyes, and two words popped into her mind—It's over.

Her memories flashed before her eyes, past scenes vivid and clear.

Marisa was heartbroken, never expecting that she, who was destined to become the strongest magician, would end up here in such a muddled way.

How could this be!

Marisa's pupils widened, as if to ignite her fighting spirit, magic power surged throughout her body, and veins bulged on her fair skin.

However, her passionate efforts were ultimately in vain. This pool of blue hot spring was like an endless abyss, sucking away her magic power. No matter how much she released, it was devoured the moment it appeared.

By the hot spring shore, Great Sage calculated the time. After Marisa's magic power was completely exhausted, it unhurriedly pulled her out.

Marisa opened her hazy eyes, and what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar tender face. She blinked, her gaze moving downwards, and a large expanse of fair and delicate skin was presented before her.

"I, I didn't see anything!"

Marisa covered her eyes with her hands in a panic. Her originally pale face turned crimson, and her ears were burning hot.

"Inform. I am not Bai Luo."

"Uh...?"

Hearing this, Marisa was stunned for a moment. She slightly parted her fingers and peeked through the gaps. After confirming that it wasn't the person she thought it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was the owner of the house, that Little Master, who had returned."

Marisa lowered her hands, still feeling lingering fear, and pressed her chest.

Recalling how she was almost drowned by that strange blue hot spring just now, her delicate little face was full of lingering fear and panic.

She looked up and thanked the person in front of her: "Although I don't know who you are, thanks to you just now, otherwise I might have drowned."

Saying this, she patted her chest.

"I, Marisa, have remembered this kindness! If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me. I am the strongest magician in Fantasy Land! I'll cover you—Huh! Hey, hey! What are you doing!"

Before she could finish speaking, Great Sage grabbed one of Marisa's feet and dragged her directly outwards.

Marisa struggled and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! Let go of me quickly!"

Great Sage just glanced at her indifferently, without answering, until it dragged Marisa to the living room, then it released its hand.

Bai Luo and Yakumo Ran, who were waiting in the living room, didn't even react and stood frozen in place.

Yakumo Ran was the first to react. She immediately covered Bai Luo's eyes with her hands, then tore off two pieces of curtain with her two tails and surrounded them.

Chapter 13: Marisa: I'm Sorry! I'll Let You Hit Me Back Once.

Dressed, Marisa stood weakly in the center of the living room, facing the scrutinizing gazes of Bai Luo and Yakumo Ran. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and shoulders.

"Ran should have already warned you, right."

Bai Luo sat without moving, but his tender face gave Marisa a strong sense of pressure.

"Ah... I... I'm sorry."

Marisa looked down at her toes, her legs rubbing restlessly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Bai Luo did not respond to her.

Seeing that Bai Luo showed no reaction, Marisa secretly looked up again and found that he was still looking sullen.
