I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Su Bai really feels tired now. The moment he used the magic just now, most of his energy was instantly consumed and he almost couldn't use it anymore, so now he also wants to go back and have a good rest.

......

After seeing Su Bai leave, Patchouli also withdrew her gaze and said to the open space in front: "Yakumo Yukari, if you want to see him, you can go directly. Now you are sneaking around like this, you really don't look like a monster sage."

Ever since coming into contact with Su Bai's energy, Yakumo Yukari seemed to have awakened something. She came to spy on her every day, and would stay there for a long time, making Patchouli very uncomfortable. During this time, Patchouli also called Yakumo Yukari out to ask her why she did this.

Yakumo Yukari was just vaguely fooled by this, saying she was observing Su Bai to see if he would endanger Gensokyo. Just in case, she needed to learn more. Now Patchouli finally couldn't help herself.

While Seven Stars magic was ubiquitous, not everyone could learn it after her refinement. Su Bai was able to learn it because of a previous deal, and also because of their time together, Patchouli had gradually come to accept him. However, Patchouli didn't have a good impression of Yakumo Yukari.

"Now is not the right time for us to meet him, but don't worry, I will come here less often from now on. Because I still have some things to deal with."

The gap slowly closed, and Yakumo Yukari also looked at a place, a bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest, a black-haired girl was sitting in the house with various game consoles beside her and a computer in front of her with a game still on it.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to feel something and her body trembled slightly.

"Huh? What?"

The girl was a little confused. It seemed like someone was looking at her just now?

"Forget it, never mind, the team fight is about to begin. Hurry, hurry..."

Chapter 16 The peaceful days are gone forever

"My lady, this level alone is not enough."

Looking at the barrage of comments in front of him, Su Bai said to Remlia nonchalantly.

After a month of study, and with Patchouli's personal guidance, Su Bai's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. The battle with Remlia was also arranged by Patchouli, and Remlia was curious about Su Bai's learning achievements during this period, so she was willing to test it out.

And Remlia personally promised that she would not use her ability to control fate and the magic spear Gungnir, otherwise Su Bai would not dare to fight with her.

Moreover, after studying for a period of time, Su Bai has already learned the magic of flying, and can also use his spatial ability simply, such as carrying things or short-distance spatial displacement. That is why he dared to provoke Remilia at this moment.

As he spoke, Su Bai quickly flashed through the barrage of comments, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Remlia, then space flowed and he appeared behind Remlia.

Su Bai, who was a little inflated at the moment, was about to say something when he suddenly saw Remilia turn around and punch him.

With a 'bang', it smashed into the ground, raising a lot of dust.

Watching the two people fighting playfully, Patchouli sighed.

Although Su Bai was learning magic quickly, he couldn't put it to use in combat quickly. However, after this period of training, Su Bai's physical strength had greatly increased. At least he wouldn't be beaten to death by Remi in one blow. He shook his head, stopped looking at the two of them, and turned back to the basement.

Next, let Su Bai play with Remi for a while longer. After all, with this intensity, it is just a joke for Remlia.

"Ahem, my lady, are you so cruel?"

The smoke cleared, and Su Bai came out, waving his hand. How could he have forgotten that the young lady was a vampire? Vampires' bodies were much stronger than humans, and coupled with the young lady's strength as a great demon, the blow instantly cleared his mind.

"Hehehe, with your current strength, I could have beaten a bunch of them hundreds of years ago. But to be able to withstand such a blow, you still have some strength. Stop hiding it, let me see what you have learned during this period. I can't help but take you out to show those people. Thinking of Reimu and the others calling them Remi-sama in front of me...hahahaha!"

Looking at his own young lady who was fantasizing again, Su Bai's mouth twitched and he finally became serious.

"Then Miss, be careful. I learned this move online. It's said to be quite powerful."

Su Bai's hands glowed, one forming a flame, the other a water-like form. He slowly brought the two energies closer together. Under the influence of the special energy within his body, the two merged, forming a red and blue dragon. He then released the dragon. At the same time, a closed space composed of metal and earth walls appeared around Remlia, enveloping her, leaving only a single empty space facing Su Bai.

Looking at the moves Su Bai performed, Remilia grinned and said, "Not bad, not bad, it really surprised me. But...this is not enough."

As soon as the words fell, the cage surrounding Remlia exploded instantly, and Remlia herself disappeared without a trace.

Su Bai's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to use his spatial ability to transfer, a small hand had already pinched his throat.

"General!"

Remlia appeared behind Su Bai and directly announced the end.

Although I have heard that the young lady is very fast, this is too fast. I was caught without even having time to react. It seems that the young lady was just playing around before.

Thinking of this, Su Bai regained his composure. He'd had too little time to learn. If a powerful youkai like Remlia started a fight, he wouldn't have the slightest chance to fight back. So, Remlia offered a sincere compliment: "You're truly worthy of being called the Young Lady. You're so powerful I can't even fight back. I'm sure one day, you'll be able to kick Yakumo Yukari, punch Hakurei Reimu, and claim Gensokyo for yourself."

Remlia had also let go of his neck, and couldn't help laughing when she heard Su Bai's praise.

"Hahaha! Of course, Cricket Hakurei Miko and the gap monsters will be defeated by me sooner or later. When that happens, I will make you the second-in-command of Gensokyo so that you can also experience that kind of beauty. Hahaha!"

Hearing Remlia's arrogant words again, Su Bai just smiled and did not refute.

"Thank you very much, Miss."

Then, while the two of them were flattering each other, they forgot about the dragon that Su Bai had released.

They had just fought in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's garden. Su Bai was standing on the ground, while Remlia was in the sky, with the Scarlet Devil Mansion's clock tower behind her. After Remlia dodged Su Bai's skill, the dragon didn't disappear, but headed straight for the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

then......

"boom!"

The red and blue colors collided with the building above. The two people who heard the sound looked up and saw that there was a big hole in the originally majestic and magnificent building, and debris was still falling around it. The two people were stunned.

Then the elegant head maid appeared behind them and looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Miss, could you please be more careful about your surroundings next time you're playing around? Previously, the Scarlet Devil Mansion needed frequent repairs because of Marisa. Marisa hasn't been here much lately, so I didn't expect it still needed repairs."

Hearing Sakuya's helpless tone, Remlia and Su Bai slowly turned around and looked at Sakuya.

"Ahahaha, Sakuya, listen to me, there's actually a reason this time. The reason...the reason...that's right!"

Remilia suddenly pointed at Su Bai next to her and said loudly, "Yes, it was him. He was the one who attacked over there just now, and I just dodged it. And after I took him down, he was still talking to me to divert my attention, so I didn't notice it. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to stop him."

Su Bai was also a little confused when he heard Remlia's accusation.

Even if I was partially at fault, don't you have any fault at all? You could have stopped it directly, but you acted pretentiously and ran behind me, and now you're putting all the blame on me.

Miss, is this how you treat your loyal servant?

Although Su Bai thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud. After all, isn't it normal to maintain the image of the eldest daughter of the family, even though she has no image at all?

Hearing Remlia's words, Sakuya looked at Su Bai with a dangerous look in her eyes: "So, do you have anything to explain?"

For Sakuya, she had a very good impression of Su Bai when she first met him. He had a handsome face and was quite polite. Moreover, because of him, Marisa rarely came to visit, which relieved her of a lot of burden.

But lately, the young lady had been coming to him constantly, asking to see how he was doing, which had reduced the time they had alone together. This had given Sakuya some bad thoughts. She had to teach him a lesson, make him realize that the young lady was his.

"...I admit my mistake."

Seeing Su Bai admit his mistake so quickly, Sakuya was a little surprised, but this did not mean that she should let Su Bai go, so she just had to lighten the punishment a little.

"Then I'll punish you by letting you come with me to repair the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It just so happens that you can directly materialize the items you need, so you don't have to make another trip."

Su Bai nodded without objection. After all, this situation might happen again in the future.

Chapter 17: What are the seven colors of the seven-colored puppeteers?

"Phew, it's finally over."

Wiping the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Su Bai paused. He hadn't expected something so simple to repair to be this complicated. Thinking about it, Sakuya must have been working really hard.

"Now that the repairs are complete, I'll be heading back now. Sakuya, please tell the young lady and the others."

Su Bai said to Sakuya, who had also stopped. "I've been practicing every day lately and haven't had a good rest. Now I've finally reached a stage where I can take a break. And while Patchouli's expectations of him have been lowered these past few days, I can take a good trip to Gensokyo. With his current strength, as long as he doesn't provoke those big monsters, he should have no problem escaping."

"Well, I'll tell the young lady and Patchouli-sama. Do you want to go somewhere else?"

As if she could see his anticipation, Sakuya didn't stop him. She had also seen Su Bai's progress during this period, and it was time for him to have a good rest.

"Yes, after all, I've been here for such a long time, and I haven't been to other places yet. But don't worry, I still know the territories of some big monsters, and I won't provoke them."

"Well, be careful."

Hearing Su Bai's assurance, Sakuya replied lightly and then disappeared.

Su Bai also directly opened a space channel and returned to their wooden house.

Just after returning here, Su Bai felt something was wrong. There was a different aura, someone was coming. Then he walked quickly to the house, opened the door and said:

"Tianyi, I'm back, are you home?"

"Ah, it's Abai who's back. Please wait a moment."

It seemed that Luo Tianyi was communicating with someone. When she heard Su Bai's voice, she yawned and ran out.

Are there more than one person coming? Only one of them seems familiar. Just as Su Bai was wondering who it was, Luo Tianyi ran out and took his hand and walked into the house.

"Abai, we have two guests at home today, and one of them is very beautiful. Let me introduce them to you."

"Wait, wait, Tianyi, what if they are not convenient to see people now?"

"It's okay, Abai, they're all fine now. And I've already introduced you to them. Come in quickly."

Having said that, without waiting for Su Bai to refute, he took his hand and walked in.

"Hey, you two, this is the Abai I've been talking about. Now let's get to know each other."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Su Bai's eyes couldn't help but waver. Both girls had golden hair, and one of them was wearing a black and white dress that had remained unchanged for almost ten thousand years. That was Marisa.

At this moment, Marisa was also looking at him and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Su Bai, you are back. It's really not easy to see you once. We have been here several times, but I didn't expect you to be so busy. But luckily Tianyi is here, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do here. Why are you back so early today?"

Su Bai didn't answer Marisa's question for now, instead looking at the other girl. Her short blond hair barely reached her shoulders, and she wore a blue sleeveless dress that outlined her slender figure. Her light complexion paired with her pale complexion made her sit there quietly, like a doll from a fairy tale, her beauty eclipsing even the stars.

That's right, she's the legendary Alice Megatron... ahem, Alice Margatroid. Legend has it she possesses the most beautiful face in the West. Seeing her today, she's truly worthy of her reputation.

Seeing Su Bai's gaze turned towards her, Alice opened her mouth slightly and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Su Bai, my name is Alice Margatroid, you can just call me Alice. I have heard about you many times from Tianyi, and I have long admired your name."

After hearing Alice's introduction, Su Bai came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Hello, Alice, since Tianyi has already introduced me, there is no need to use honorifics. Just call me Su Bai."

"but..."

Su Bai looked around at the three of them and asked with some curiosity: "When did you meet?"

Hearing Su Bai's curious question, Luo Tianyi's happy face froze, and with a hint of fear, she explained to Su Bai, "Well, Ah Bai, actually we met half a month ago. At that time, it was Marisa who brought Alice here to look for you, but you were not at home at the time. And I also listened to your observation for a while, and found that they were not here to cause trouble, so you brought them in. And they came here a few times after that, and we became familiar with each other just like that."

"Besides, you seemed very busy during that period, going out early and coming back late every day, so I didn't tell you for the time being. Ah Bai, you won't be angry, right?"

After hearing Luo Tianyi's explanation, Su Bai no longer felt angry. After all, it was an action for your sake. Even if it was wrong, there was no reason to blame her.

"Okay, Tianyi, let's forget about it this time. Next time if you see a stranger, be sure to tell me in time. Sometimes bad people don't show it. Luckily, it was Alice and Marisa that I met this time. Otherwise, if something really happened, it would be too late to regret it. My safety is not as important as yours."

"Abai...well, there definitely won't be a next time!"

Hearing Su Bai's caring words and the last sentence that sounded like a confession of concern, Luo Tianyi's eyes brightened and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Oh! You two have such a good relationship. But Su Bai, you haven't answered my question just now." Marisa's voice, which disturbed the atmosphere, also brought Su Bai's attention back to her.

Marisa, I haven't even looked for you yet, but you've found me first. But Alice is here this time, so I'll let you go for once.

"I was studying magic with Patchouli, so I was quite busy. It finally came to an end recently, and I planned to take a break, so I came back early. I didn't expect to run into you guys."

"So what do you want to see me about?"

Marisa chuckled and said, "Look, I know you're studying in the Scarlet Devil Mansion recently, so I rarely borrow books from you. I've basically finished reading the books I borrowed before, so I'll see when you come back so I can borrow more books from you."

"As for Alice, I brought her here. Didn't I see you had quite a few puppets last time? Alice happens to be a puppeteer. I thought you two should have a lot of common topics, and you could learn from each other and exchange ideas."

Hearing the topic shift to herself, Alice immediately joined in.

"Yes, Su Bai, I heard from Marisa that you also have quite a few puppets. I think you should also have a better understanding of puppetry techniques. If there is a chance, I think we can learn from each other."

Su Bai was speechless after hearing this. How could he know anything about puppetry? If possible, he would like to learn puppetry from Alice. Marisa, didn't she hear him calling those puppets "wife"? How could they be the same as Alice's puppets?

I must hurry up and beat her up. Su Bai can hardly bear it anymore.

Then he replied calmly, "Of course, we'll have a good chat if we get a chance."

"But I have something to take care of right now, so let's wait until later."

Alice's face lit up with joy. Over the years, she'd barely met anyone skilled in puppetry. The only person she knew of with advanced puppetry skills was the woman she didn't want to meet. Now, finally, someone who sounded like a master puppeteer had come along. After all, Marisa had said he had a lot of puppets, so surely he could take his skills to the next level.

However, he also heard that Su Bai still had things to deal with, so he didn't intend to disturb him any further.

"Since you still have things to do, we won't bother you anymore. See you next time."

"Marisa, let's go."
