I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"When I can beat her, I must hold her in my arms and give her a good rub."

"Hey, so Abai, are you a lolicon?"

"How is that possible? I am in complete control!"

"Alas!"

Then Luo Tianyi ran back with a smile.

Chapter 24 The Gradually Arriving Guests

The sun gradually set, and a full moon slowly rose. Under the bright moonlight, Su Bai and Luo Tianyi stood on the grass in front of the door.

There was no grand stage, as monsters rarely enjoyed it. There were no twinkling lights, but the starry sky was enough to illuminate the venue. A large cloth was spread on the grass, filled with delicious food and various drinks, and a few sofas were placed nearby, providing a place for a short rest.

Reimu had already arrived and sat on the sofa, drinking from a bowl of wine while saying to them, "Why haven't those guys come yet? I almost fell asleep waiting. And you, Su Bai, why do you have to wait until they come before letting me eat? I haven't eaten all day just to have a big meal tonight. I'm starving."

Because it corresponds to the Gensokyo era, Su Bai prepared jars of wine and some bowls.

"It's a bit rude to start eating before others arrive. And haven't you been drinking and eating snacks?" Su Bai said helplessly when he saw Reimu's impatient look.

You know, he had prepared a lot of snacks since Reimu came, and Reimu had been eating them while waiting. But Reimu was like the incarnation of Yuyuko, eating and not feeling satisfied.

"Huh? You're being polite to those monsters? You're a bit naive. Besides, the snacks are not as delicious as the food you made."

"Why don't we just start right away? They won't say anything anyway."

"Wait a moment, and besides, look, isn't it coming?"

Reimu looked up and saw several figures coming from the direction of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Walking in front was Remlia in a gorgeous dress. Against the backdrop of the full moon, Remlia seemed more energetic, and a strange glow bloomed on her fair little face.

Walking with her was Patchouli, the witch of knowledge. She was wearing a lavender long dress, with her arms hanging naturally at her sides. She looked very weak, and was walking side by side with Remlia.

Behind him followed Sakuya, who was standing beside Remlia, and the somewhat drowsy Benimi.

Remlia glanced around the venue, automatically ignoring Reimu who was leaning on the sofa, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, the preparations are thorough enough, very much in the style of our Scarlet Devil Mansion. And I gave you enough face by being the first one here. Thank you very much, Remi-sama."

Su Bai smiled and said, "Yes, thank you Miss for giving me face and coming so early. Please enter quickly."

"Why do I feel like what you said sounds so perfunctory!"

"Hey, little vampire over there, now that you're here, stop wasting time there and come over here and wait. You've delayed my eating time and you need compensation." Seeing Remlia and the others standing there motionless, Reimu urged.

Remlia's face changed when she heard Reimu address her, and she walked inside. Patchouli and the others also greeted her and walked inside.

"Hakurei's miko, when did you meet? And what do you mean by that address? I am the noble vampire lord, Lady Remlia. Do you want to start a fight by addressing me like that?"

"Yes, yes, Lady Remlia, but forget about exercising before meals." Reimu had a nonchalant expression. It was okay to exercise after meals, but why would she do anything now when she hadn't eaten yet?

"What! Are you looking down on the great Lady Remlia?" A hint of anger appeared on Remlia's face. "I..."

Just as Remlia was about to say something, Sakuya came forward and whispered in her ear, "Miss, there are other people coming. Please pay attention to your appearance."

Remlia's face froze for a moment, then she returned to the smile she had when she came.

"Hmph, since Su Bai is hosting the banquet, I'll let you go this time. Thank you."

"Paki, Sakuya, let's go over there."

Then he turned around and went to a place a little distance away from Reimu, where he waited for the next person.

Seeing them leave, Reimu picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, and then looked towards the direction of Youkai Mountain, muttering to herself, "If something goes wrong here, I can extort a lot of gold."

Seeing Remlia and Reimu arguing again, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he also heard what Sakuya said just now. Although Sakuya was speaking very quietly, everyone present except Luo Tianyi had inhuman physiques, and the surroundings were relatively quiet, so Su Bai's words still reached his ears. He also looked in the direction of the source with some anticipation. Who could it be this time?

Then he saw the visitor's beautiful blonde hair and a dress that looked gorgeous but was actually simple. Su Bai's eyes lit up slightly and he walked up to her.

"Welcome, Alice. I didn't expect Marisa to actually bring you along. I thought you'd be too busy. But isn't Marisa with you?"

Alice smiled softly and said, "We are friends after all, and I haven't been very busy lately. I heard from Marisa that you had a party to celebrate the opening of your new home, so I accepted the invitation and came along."

"And Marisa heard her go to a shrine in Youkai Mountain to look for the gods and miko there. They should be arriving soon."

"Thank you for coming. Come in and sit with Tianyi first. There will be others coming later."

Alice nodded and walked in.

As Alice just entered, Su Bai saw another figure coming.

She wore a white shirt on the upper body, red pants on the lower body, and a big red and white bow on her head.

"Su Bai, am I not too late? I tried to invite Huiyin earlier, but she said she had to prepare materials for a lecture for the children at Terakoya tomorrow, so she didn't plan to come."

Seeing Su Bai's somewhat surprised look, Meihong explained.

When they had just chosen the location, Su Bai told Meihong that he wanted to express his gratitude to her, but Meihong refused on the grounds that she didn't have much time. In fact, Meihong just didn't know how to be alone with him at that time.

After the Hakurei Shrine confirmed that it would hold a banquet, Su Bai went to invite Meihong alone. After learning that it was a banquet, Meihong agreed.

Su Bai was surprised that Meihong had actually gone back to invite Huiyin. He wasn't very close to Huiyin, so he hadn't invited her to come along. But then he thought about it and realized that Meihong and Huiyin had a good relationship, so he felt relieved.

"It's okay. I know Teacher Huiyin is quite busy, so I didn't specifically invite her. It's okay if she doesn't come."

"We've arrived just in time. Everyone should be here soon."

Then he looked into the distance for a moment.

Seeing Su Bai's eyes, Meihong also sensed something and said, "Okay, then I'll go in first. Can you handle it yourself?"

Su Bai nodded, and Meihong walked in with peace of mind.

Not far away, Marisa was seen flying towards this side, followed by many monsters.

Chapter 25 The Banquet Finally Begins

Just when Su Bai was wondering why so many people came, Marisa had already arrived in front of him.

"Hey, Su Bai, I'm here. I shouldn't be late."

"...Not really, but why are you here so late, and what are these behind you?"

Seeing that Marisa was late and was followed by a large group of monsters, Su Bai asked curiously.

"It's good that you're not late. Didn't you say you could bring friends? I thought you should have invited the Scarlet Devil Mansion as well. I planned to look for those people at the Yokaiyama Moriya Shrine. They often attend banquets, and I'm familiar with them, so I decided to invite them."

"They were planning to come, but then they asked who was hosting the party. After I mentioned your name, they decided not to come," Marisa said with a puzzled look.

"Do you know them? Do they seem to know you?"

Moriya Shrine? Sanae and the others?

Su Bai thought about it and realized that he had never been to Moriya Shrine, let alone know Sanae and the others. He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up for the time being.

So he shook his head and replied, "No, I haven't been to Moriya Shrine yet."

"That's really weird."

"But never mind. You'll probably understand what's going on when you meet."

"As for the monsters behind, they were found by Suika. There are some ghosts and tengu and so on."

"They'll be here soon, so let Suika introduce you. I'll be on my way first."

"Alright, Reimu and the others have been here for a while now. These youkai should be the last ones here. The party can start soon."

After confirming that everything was alright, Marisa walked in with a happy look on her face. Su Bai was waiting for them here.

"Brother, it seems we are the only ones missing." Seeing Su Bai standing there waiting, Suixiang finally arrived with a group of people.

"Originally, I only invited Yongyi, but these boys and Tengu heard there was a party and volunteered to come over. Can we accept so many people? If not, I can send them back."

"Of course, no problem. I anticipated this as soon as I knew you were ghosts. As long as you don't cause any trouble, there's plenty of drinks!"

Su Bai smiled confidently. When he heard Suika invite some people, he had expected quite a few people to come. Because the ghost race loved drinking and banquets, when they heard about a banquet, even Suika and the others might not be able to stop it, although under normal circumstances they would not try to stop it.

"Hahaha, good boy, you are worthy of being a human that Suika values. You are so courageous!"

Before Suixiang could speak, a lady with long golden hair and a horn on her forehead spoke behind her.

"My name is Hoshiguma Yugi, and I'm the leader of this group of demons for now. I heard from Suika that a human was hosting a party and invited demons to it, so I came here to take a look. It seems I was right."

Su Bai shrugged and smiled slightly, "I've heard of the name of King Yongyi. When Suixiang mentioned inviting someone, I guessed it might be you. As far as I know, you and Suixiang have a pretty good relationship."

"But at the banquet, I'd like to trouble King Yongyi to restrain some of his men. As I said before, as long as you don't cause any trouble, there will be plenty of drinks!"

"Hahaha, fine, just call me Yongyi, you don't have to call me that."

Yongyi laughed and waved his hand, saying that they were no match for him, so calling him King Yongyi was unfamiliar. He then turned to the group of monsters and said, "Have you heard me? Behave yourself. There will be plenty of drinks."

"Oh!" the monsters cheered.

"Then please come in. The venue has been prepared."

"Okay, guys, let's go."

Yongyi waved his hand and led them in.

"Then young man, I'll go in too." Suixiang said and followed behind.

Seeing that everyone was already there, Su Bai didn't wait any longer. He turned around and was about to go in when he heard a voice behind him.

"Ala, brother, have you forgotten someone?"

Su Bai turned around and saw a gap opening up. Yakumo Yukari walked out with a fox demon. A two-tailed cat demon was lying on the fox demon's shoulder, looking at him curiously.

"I let you go and even asked Reimu to bring you out. How could you forget about me, such a great benefactor?" Yakumo Yukari smiled charmingly.

Hearing this strange yet familiar voice, Su Bai was startled. He remembered this voice very clearly. When he first arrived here, he was almost killed by the owner of the voice. So he quickly turned around.

"Purple m...sister, why are you here?"

That was a close call, I almost said it!

"Ala, although I am quite young, I am still a little older than you. Calling me Sister Zi...I'm afraid it's not appropriate?" A dangerous expression appeared on Yakumo Zi's face.

Why does the old woman act so alert and act like a child?

Su Bai complained in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then... Sister Zi?"

In an instant, Yakumo Yukari's face was filled with joy.

"Since you call me that, I can only accept it."

The fox demon beside him, however, showed a look of disbelief. Is this Lady Murasaki? The renowned youkai sage, Yakumo Murasaki? While she's become a youkai idler lately, her mental health can't be that serious, right?

Lord Zi, why do you look like a little girl in love?

Without noticing the rude look from her own Shikigami, Yakumo Yukari introduced Su Bai, "This is our Shikigami, the nine-tailed fox demon named Yakumo Lan. If you can't find us, you can go find her. Lan is quite hardworking."

"And the little cat on Lan's shoulder is Lan's shikigami, called Orange, and is still a child."

Seeing Yakumo Yukari introducing herself to Su Bai, Lan stepped forward and said, "Lord Su Bai, you can just call me Lan." After saying that, he glanced at Yakumo Yukari's expression, and seeing that there was no change, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that these two people are having an affair!

"Master Su Bai?"

"Yes, Master Su Bai, you and Master Zi are good friends, so it is only right for me to teach you, Master."

Su Bai looked at Yakumo Yukari with a strange expression, and Yakumo Yukari did not refute anything.

Just accept it, Su Bai thought silently.

"Okay, in that case, Purple...Sister, Blue and Orange, please come in."

"Ah, then it would be disrespectful for us to refuse. Let's go, Lan."

Then he walked in with Lan.

Shaking his head, Su Bai couldn't understand what Yakumo Yukari meant, but there was no harm in having a closer relationship, so he walked in without thinking any more.
