I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Erya was just taught a lesson by me and is resting now. Since Xiaoqi already knows these things, I won't hide them from you anymore."

"Come on, Xiao Qi, let's sit there and talk slowly." Bai reached out and picked up Nanazui and sat him on the sofa, then poured himself a glass of water. Then he looked at Yamaguchi and the other one. "Oh, by the way, you guys come over here too."

When Yawu and the other two heard Bai's call, they obediently sat opposite Bai and listened to Bai's story.

......

"So, that's it." Bai put down the empty cup of water in his hand and looked at the three people in front of him who were thinking.

"So, brother, you are both the original spirit in the comics and the demon king waiting to be defeated?"

Qi Zui asked Bai curiously. She had never thought that Bai had such an identity.

"But why did you do this, brother?"

"Well, it's to leave an impression on someone."

"Is that so? Is that the girl my brother likes?" Nanashi's voice suddenly became low.

"Yes, but don't worry, Xiao Qi." Bai Ye heard the uneasiness in Nanazui's voice and smiled to comfort her: "If I had just arrived here, I might have gone straight to her, but now, I already have you, so don't worry that I will abandon you."

"But because I like her so much, I plan to leave a deep impression on her."

"So... is that person also an elf?"

"Not yet, but soon."

"Can I become an elf too?" Nanashi looked at Bai curiously, with a look of request in his eyes.

"Well, now..." Bai didn't seem to expect Nanashi to ask to become an elf, but he still explained to Nanashi, "Actually, I was planning to wait a few more years before asking you. After all, it's difficult for your body to change after becoming an elf."

"Although using spiritual energy can change the body, it doesn't feel very good to use it all the time, and the effect will be slower than normal growth."

Because Yoshino's mother is constantly caring for her due to her poor health, she's very knowledgeable and can control herself well. Meanwhile, Nanashi might not be home every day, and if she's with Nia, given Nia's personality, Nanashi might lose control often. So, I plan to talk to her about this later.

"Do you like the way I am now, brother?"

"Of course I like it." Bai answered without hesitation.

"That's fine." Nanashi suddenly laughed happily.

"...Okay then." Bai Ye smiled helplessly.

Then a green crystal appeared in his hand.

"That's it. Just put it on your chest."

"Brother, do I have to put it in my chest?" Qizi said with some fear as he looked at the sharp surface of the crystal.

"Ah, no, it just looks more ceremonial this way. You can put it in anywhere."

However, Bai seemed to notice the fear on Nanashi's face, so he quickly explained, "It's not like you think, you have to cut it open to put it in. Just stick it close to your body, and it will integrate itself."

After hearing Bai's explanation, Nanashi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't need to cut open her skin to put it in. She didn't want to experience the feeling of her skin being torn apart again.

So he took the crystal from Bai's hand and slowly brought it closer to his chest, and the crystal quickly melted in. A flash of light passed, and the reappearing Seven Sins had changed his appearance.

She wore a jet-black witch's hat with an orange rim, studded with gemstones that resembled emerald eyes. She wore an orange shirt with stars on it, and her hair, once tied tightly in twin ponytails, flowed freely behind her. She wore black suspender shorts, orange and black socks, and a pair of black pointed-toe shoes.

Looking at Nana Sin's appearance, Bai looked at her with a strange look.

"What do you think, brother? Am I cute like this?" After completing the transformation, Nanashi asked Bai excitedly.

And Bai praised without hesitation: "Of course, my little Qi is cute no matter what he looks like."

"Well, as long as brother likes it." Nanashi lowered the brim of his hat slightly, and said in a low voice with a blushing face.

"But why did you choose this look, Xiaoqi?"

"Because my brother is the Demon King." Nanashi looked up at Shiro and smiled. "Then of course, as his sister, I have to be a witch."

"Oh, yes, there's this." A broom suddenly appeared in Nanashi's hand.

“That makes it more like it.”

"Hmm, so that's how it is." Bai couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect that Nanashi would become like this. Could it be that there really is some mysterious will?

"Then how about Xiao Qi also learn how to use the angel from Erya?"

"No need, brother." Nanashi shook his head. "I don't know why, but it seems like I can use it directly." Nanashi then looked at Yama next to him and whispered, "Haniel." Then, Yama appeared in the same place.

"What! You can actually transform into our appearance?"

"Shocked! She looks just like Xixian!"

Hmm, so it can be used right away? Bai was a bit surprised. He had thought he'd need to learn it slowly, but he hadn't expected it to be usable right away. Was it because it's been so long that he'd forgotten some of the settings? He rubbed his head and looked at Yamaguchi and the other person beside him.

"So, you could have used it directly then?"

"What? So everything is possible? I thought we were gifted." Ye Jushi said with some regret.

"I agree. Xixian also thought it was our talent. It turns out that as long as it's an elf, it can be used."

"Well then, Xiao Qi, you should change back first. It looks a bit awkward like this." Bai looked at the embarrassed look of Nanashi in Yamashita's appearance and had an indescribable feeling.

"Yeah, I also feel a little uncomfortable like this, especially my chest." As soon as he finished speaking, Nanashi returned to his original appearance.

After looking at herself in the witch's clothes, Nana Sin nodded.

"It still looks comfortable this way."

Chapter 25: The number of people is almost complete

"Then what are you going to do?" After comforting Nanashi, Bai looked at Yawu and the other person who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Now that the purpose has been made clear, he also wants to know what Yamaguchi and the other person will choose.

"Hey, Xixian, I suddenly feel that the Demon King's men are not bad either."

"I agree. Xixian also wants to experience the feeling of doing bad things."

The two did not directly answer Bai's question, but looked at Bai with excitement in their eyes.

"Since you have transformed us into elves, you don't want us to leave, do you?"

"Question, Yui and Yakuya have decided to stay here. Will the Demon King take us in?"

"Well, actually, I don't want you to leave either."

For Bai, they were all people he had loved before, and now, by chance, he had the opportunity to meet them. Of course, he didn't want them to leave. Moreover, if they wanted to leave, Bai would have no choice but to seal their spiritual power and memories. Otherwise, given their personalities, they might really affect the normal people in this world.

"Since you've made up your mind, then stay. Also, don't call me the Demon King at home. It's a bit awkward to keep calling him that."

It's a rare occasion when Bai Xingzhi wants to act a little bit like a middle school student, but he didn't expect that when he heard others shouting like that, he felt inexplicably ashamed.

The two nodded in understanding, then put away the excitement in their eyes and asked Bai seriously, "So was what Bai said at the time true?"

"Add to that what Bai said in that space."

Bai thought carefully about what he had said at that time. Then he smiled and nodded.

"It's partly true, and partly false."

"So what is true and what is false?"

"Well, you guys can guess for yourselves."

Bai stood up under the two people's unwilling eyes and prepared a room for Yamaguchi and the others. Fortunately, when they bought this house, they chose the one with more rooms, otherwise it would be difficult to find a place to live.

But if Rokuko were to take over next... Well, let's see if there are any houses for sale nearby. Money is not a problem for Shiro.

As early as in Gensokyo, Bai could materialize gold to use. In addition, in order to prevent the need to ask Reimu for help, he would basically materialize some gold every day and store it. It is now impossible to count how much there is.

In this world, Bai also took out some gold and exchanged it for cash in this world. While doing so, he also dealt with some malicious guys, which increased the amount of money in Bai's account in this world. Although he couldn't remember the amount in the account, it was enough to buy a few houses.

........

A gentle breeze blew in from the window, lifting the white bed curtains. The golden morning sun shone on Bai's face as he sat cross-legged on the bed, adding a touch of elegance to his delicate features. Feeling the sunlight, Bai slowly opened his eyes.

Last night, after cleaning up the house for Yui and Yakuya, it was already late, so Bai simply cooked some food and planned to go to bed. Although Bai had long since left the human realm, he still maintained the habit of resting at night.

I thought that after what happened yesterday, the two of them would relax and have a good night's rest, but I didn't expect them to start arguing again.

The incident started when the two of them materialized their spirit suits to observe them more closely. For unknown reasons, Yakuya started arguing with Yui about the suits' power and strength, and who was the older sister. This aroused Yui, who had originally intended to rest after observing the suits, and ultimately, if Shiro hadn't arrived in time, the two would have likely come to blows in the room.

Bai simply removed their spirit suits and told them not to use them in the house again before leaving. Unexpectedly, after removing their spirit suits, they became even more excited. When Bai heard their voices again and went to check, he saw them wrestling on the bed in their pajamas, assuming strange positions. Ultimately, Bai resorted to physical means to make them fall asleep.

"Hey, Mio, could you please look after them while I'm away?" Bai sighed and said to the open space in front. "If you really can't keep an eye on them, you could temporarily seal their spirit gear."

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Another voice appeared in the room where only one person was. A silver-haired figure slowly appeared in front of Bai.

"If it were a spiritual suit composed solely of my spiritual power, I could seal it. But this is something I can't control after the energy in your body has been neutralized."

"Then you can lock them up, or send them directly to the critical point so that they can't find a way to come back for the time being. Otherwise, this house will be torn down by them sooner or later."

Mio also smiled helplessly. She had seen what happened yesterday. She had been following Bai and had seen the elves that Bai had transformed into during this period, but none of them were as...lively as Yama and the other one.

"That's possible, but I'm afraid it will only last for a while." Mio thought for a moment and agreed.

"Well, why?" Bai asked curiously. In his memory, Mio should have been free during this period of time. He had already taken over the work of transforming spirits in various places. Shouldn't Mio be very free now?

"I can feel that Shi-chan is about to be born!" After thinking for a while, Mio decided to speak out. "So when Shi-chan is born, I will give you the remaining spiritual power as agreed, leaving only enough for the two of us."

But Bai waved his hand: "Don't worry about that. I no longer need that part of your spiritual power. I have already analyzed the previous spiritual power and have made further progress. I am afraid that even you, the original owner, may not be able to match me."

"If it's just a spiritual power issue, don't worry. But..." Bai glanced at Mio with a strange expression and continued, "You mean her? Is she about to give birth?"

Because her and his pronunciations were different in Japanese, Bai recognized them immediately. He was even more curious: was she going to be born so soon? According to the timeline, it should still be a few years away.

"Yes, it's her! I can feel it." Mio gently touched her belly, then showed a puzzled expression. "I don't know why Shi-chan turned into a girl, but it doesn't matter. As long as it's Shi-chan, I like her!"

"So when her memory is restored, do I need to do something? For example, change her memory of you two together to a female. Otherwise, she might not be able to accept it when it's restored." Bai said with interest. Even Mio doesn't understand what's going on? Or does this world really exist...

He looked up at the sky outside, then turned his gaze back and waited for Mio's answer.

I saw that Mio had a conflicted look on her face, as if she was considering whether to do this.

If I don't do this, Shi-chan might not be able to accept it like Bai said, but if I do this...

After a moment, Mio made up her mind and said resolutely, "Then I'll trouble you then."

Bai smiled gently and said nothing more.

After breakfast, Bai didn't go straight to the hospital. Instead, he asked around to see if there were any houses for sale nearby. He actually found two. One was reserved for future use, just in case, and the other was for Mio and the others.

After checking and confirming that there were no problems with the house, I handed over the formalities. As soon as I walked out, I met an unexpected neighbor.

"You... know me?" Bai stopped, turned around and looked at a young man with red hair and asked with interest.

He hadn't noticed him when he passed by just now, but when they accidentally looked at each other when they passed by, Bai saw a hint of fear in the red-haired man's eyes, and then he felt that the red-haired man seemed to be trembling slightly.

The red-haired man, who was originally feeling relieved, suddenly stopped when he heard Bai's voice, and a sense of sadness seemed to permeate him.

"Are you scared? Have I done anything to scare you?" Bai revealed a playful expression. Before the man could answer, he continued, "Let me think about it. Aside from dealing with some people when exchanging money, I was sure to have eradicated them completely back then. There shouldn't be any further problems."

"Besides this incident, it was only a few years ago. You know elves, right?"

Hearing Bai's words, the sadness surrounding the man seemed to intensify. Then, as if making a decision, his tense body relaxed, and he turned around.

"Hello, I do know something about elves," the man said with a slight bow.

"Then tell me what you know."

"Yes! Then I will start from the moment you appeared."

"At that time, we noticed that when Westcott was chasing the Origin Spirit, you suddenly appeared and saved her, and eliminated Westcott in a way we didn't know. Of course, not long after, we looked up your records in this world and determined that you used your spatial ability at that time."

"Afterwards, due to Westcott's death and Lord Woodman's seemingly other agenda, we gave up our pursuit of the Origin Spirits. Lord Woodman and Miss Allen are now jointly managing DEM. Recently, Lord Woodman, for some unknown reason, founded a company called Ratatoskr and is considering hiring us to manage it."

"But since my wife just gave birth, we declined Lord Woodman's request and were granted maternity leave. My wife, child, and I also just moved here. So..." the red-haired man said with a tragic expression. "If you're going to attack us, please release my wife and daughter. They had no involvement in anything. Please spare their lives."

After saying that, the red-haired man closed his eyes, raised his head, and put on a posture ready to be killed.

However, Bai just chuckled softly: "Alright, stop pretending, I have no intention of doing anything to you."

"Really?" The red-haired man opened his eyes and asked excitedly.

"At that time, it was just an emergency, so I took action directly. As for now, I am not interested in you."

"Thank you so much, my lord."

"By the way, sir, do you live nearby?"

"Huh? Didn't you investigate me?" Bai asked with some confusion.
