Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me.

Bai Luo looked at the colorful mushrooms in the casserole and picked up a piece of the most normal brown mushroom. But just in case, he asked the great sage:

"Great Sage, do you know what kind of mushroom this is?"

[Notice: Sensitive mushrooms, after consumption, will increase the body's sensitivity five to ten times]

Chapter 5: Collapse Value +%

Sensitive mushrooms?

Increase sensitivity five to ten times?

Bai Luo shuddered suddenly and quickly threw the mushrooms back into the bowl.

As expected! There are villains who want to harm me!

His sudden action drew puzzled looks from Marisa and Reimu, who were confused as to why.

Marisa noticed that Bai Luo was looking at her with the eyes of a criminal, and she couldn't help shrinking her neck and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"

"How dare you ask!" Bai Luo pointed at the brown mushrooms in the bowl and asked, "What kind of mushrooms are these?"

Marisa looked at it for two seconds, then shook her head: "I don't know."

Hearing this, Reimu silently put down the bowl in her hand, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and calmed herself down.

She had seen Marisa get poisoned more than once or twice after trying new mushrooms, and she didn't want to be poisoned herself.

At this time, Bai Luo shouted angrily: "This is called sensitive mushroom. If you consume a certain amount, your body's sensitivity will increase by five to ten times."

"Pfft-"

Reimu spat out the tea and looked at the casserole in horror. She felt that the originally fragrant mushroom feast had become extremely horrible.

"Sensitive...mushrooms?"

Marisa was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Her pretty face flushed red and she waved her hands quickly, "It must have gotten in accidentally while we were picking mushrooms."

Afraid that the two wouldn't believe her, she picked up a piece of purple-blue mushroom from the casserole, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then added: "I've tried all the other mushrooms one by one, and there's absolutely no problem!"

But even so, Bai Luo and Marisa did not pick up their chopsticks again. This mushroom was really too sensitive. If they were accidentally infected, it would be a disaster.

Bai Luo secretly asked in his heart: "Great Sage, besides the mushrooms just now, are there any other mushrooms that look wrong?"

[Information. No]

Hearing this, Bai Luo finally dared to pick up his chopsticks. He had always trusted the great sage.

Seeing Bai Luo pick up his chopsticks, Lingmeng also started eating.

Seriously, Marisa is a master when it comes to mushrooms, her skills are impeccable.

Whether steamed, pan-fried or stir-fried, the taste is excellent and she has a unique take on mushrooms that is full of flavor.

The three of them were enjoying their meal when Marisa suddenly staggered and fell to the ground without any warning.

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to check the situation. He saw that Marisa had her eyes closed and her face was pale, as if she was enduring some pain.

Reimu also reacted and hurried over to ask, "What happened to Marisa? Was she poisoned?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know." Bai Luo shook his head, quickly took out a bottle of recovery medicine, pried open Marisa's mouth, and forced it down his throat.

The recovery medicine took effect quickly, and after just a moment, Marisa's pale face regained some redness.

"...Hmm."

She opened her eyes drowsily, sat up, looked around blankly, and after taking in the surrounding scene, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and ate a mushroom.

Seeing this, Bai Luo and Ling Meng's eyelids twitched.

When Marisa was about to take another bite of the mushroom rice, Bai Luo snatched the bowl away and said angrily, "Still eating! Explain why you suddenly fainted just now? Were you poisoned?"

"Let's leave it at that."

Marisa nodded and chuckled, "It's okay, it's okay. They're just minor issues. Let's continue eating."

Bai Luo naturally wouldn't let this matter go easily: "Great Sage, please analyze Marisa's current physical condition."

【learn】

The great sage responded.

[Analysis of individual Marisa——]

Seven or eight seconds later, the great sage's voice sounded again:

[This individual is in a state of deep poisoning. According to analysis, the cause is long-term consumption of magic mushrooms. These mushrooms contain magic power, but also contain a chronic toxin. Long-term consumption will lead to exhaustion and death from poisoning.]

After listening to the great sage's explanation, Bai Luo took Marisa's hand without hesitation. The latter was stunned and her pretty face turned slightly red.

Before she could ask, a purple light flashed and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

"Bai Luo? Why are you here?"

A gentle voice sounded, and Bayi Yonglin asked doubtfully, "Are you here to see the princess?"

Bai Luo shook his head and pulled the still dazed Marisa in front of him, "Please help me check this girl. She's been poisoned. See if there's any way to treat her."

"Okay." Seeing Shiro's eagerness, Yagi Eirin didn't ask any more questions. She closed her eyes and gently placed her hand on Marisa's forehead. A soft pink-purple light instantly enveloped her.

Marisa also reacted and understood why Bai Luo brought her here. Her mouth opened slightly, but then closed again, and she didn't say a word in the end.

After a while, Yagi Yonglin opened his eyes again with a serious expression.

"How about it?"

Bai Luo asked hurriedly, looking at the other person's expression, he had a bad feeling.

As expected, Bayi Yonglin shook her head slightly, her tone apologetic: "If it had been brought here earlier, it might have been saved. But now, the poison has spread throughout the body along with the magic power."

She didn't say anything more at this point, but her meaning was clear.

It can't be cured.

Bai Luo felt inexplicably irritated. He didn't like this, he didn't like this feeling.

As if she could see what Bai Luo was thinking, Marisa waved her hand nonchalantly: "Magic mushrooms are poisonous, I've known that for a long time, but compared to death, I'd rather be an ordinary person. I want to become the strongest magician!"

"Hurry back, the mushrooms are getting cold."

Her pretty face was still smiling, and she still looked full of energy.

"Great Sage, is there any solution?"

Bai Luo asked, but the great sage did not answer directly. Instead, he said from another perspective:

[Decomposes toxins, increases Honkai value by approximately 5%. It is recommended to decompose toxins for individual Marisa after the evolution value is full and promoted to Demon King.]

Hearing this, Bai Luo raised his head and asked Bayi Eirin, "How much longer does Marisa have."

"The poison has already invaded his entire body. He only has two months left," Bayi Eirin replied.

The current evolution value is only 65%. At the current rate, it will take at least the end of the year to reach 100%.

It's too late.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Bai Luo said softly, "Great Sage, I want to save Marisa."

Chapter 57: Scarlet Devil Mansion Banquet

There is a tradition in Gensokyo.

After the anomaly is resolved, the initiator will hold a banquet.

If the mutation is a show of strength, then the banquet is the official announcement of the arrival of this force.

Generally speaking, there are no restrictions on this kind of banquet. Anyone can attend regardless of their strength, and this is especially true for the wealthy Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Unlike ordinary people, those with a certain degree of fame or background will receive invitations.

Bai Luo was naturally among those invited, whether because of his strength as a great monster, his identity as the eldest master of the Yakumo residence, or his close ties with various forces.

However, even without these three points, based on his usual relationship with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Bai Luo would still receive the invitation.

The banquet was held at dusk.

Looking at the still dim sky, Bai Luo rubbed his eyes in confusion. He felt like he had slept for so long, but why was the sky still dark?

Just as he was about to cover himself with the quilt and continue sleeping, the great sage reminded him:

[Information. It is already 7:00 PM the next day.]

"...What time is it?"

Bai Luo didn't react for a moment and blinked blankly.

【Seven o'clock】

The great sage responded again.

Bai Luo finally reacted, stood up suddenly, and began to pack his things in a panic.

Living alone is indeed comfortable.

No one cares how much you want to slack off, but the downside is that no one reminds you to get up when something important happens.

wrong...

"Great Sage, didn't you agree yesterday to wake me up today?"

Bai Luo shouted in dissatisfaction while washing up.

However, the next moment, the great sage played a video directly in his mind.

In the video, the great sage called him to get up at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2 p.m., but each time he drowsily said, "Sleep for five more minutes."

The last time, he even covered his head with the quilt.

Bai Luo: “…”

He shut his mouth guiltily, simply changed his clothes, and with a thought, he arrived at the entrance of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

The moon was high in the sky, and judging from the noise coming from the courtyard, the banquet had been going on for a long time.

Fortunately, as a non-human banquet, it usually lasts for a long time, at least a day and a night, so there is no need to worry about the party ending as soon as you arrive.

As soon as Bai Luo stepped in, he immediately attracted the attention of some monsters, and many eyes were drawn to him.

When they found out that the visitor was just a strange little guy, some people withdrew their gaze and continued to enjoy the food and wine.

However, there were also some people who stared at Bai Luo closely, and their eyes seemed to flash with malicious thoughts.

"Is he a monster too? So cute."

"He should be. A new face. He probably just arrived in Gensokyo recently."

"Who's going to call him over to have a drink?"

"What a bunch of cowards! I want this little guy!"

Everyone was talking about it, and one of them, a banshee with antlers, spoke carelessly, glancing at everyone with contempt.

They didn't try to suppress their voices, so they naturally reached Bai Luo's ears. Listening to their vicious words, Bai Luo's face turned dark and he glared at them unhappily.

However, this glare not only failed to have any effect, but had the opposite effect, making them even more excited.

Not only the female deer demon just now, but also several female monsters next to it stood up.

"Master Bai."

A cold and clear voice suddenly rang out. Bai Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Sakuya Izayoi had stood behind him without him noticing. The chaotic atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Everyone looked in disbelief.

Izayoi Sakuya bowed slightly: "Please follow me, the young lady has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Bai Luo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If he had known earlier, he would not have played games with that stupid princess for so long.
