Gensokyo, I, the slime, made them regret for the rest of their lives

"Shiki almost woke up at that time, but luckily I was quick. But Shiki should have noticed that the repentance stick is missing by now."

Hearing this, Komachi's face turned even paler. Looking at the stick of repentance in her hand again, she realized that it was no longer a victory over fear, but a time bomb.

"I, I don't want it anymore, take it back."

Komachi trembled and wanted to return the stick of repentance, but Bai Luo took a step back and did not take the stick of repentance.

"Oh, I'm afraid not. It's impossible for Shiki to come here by chance and catch you slacking off, and also happen to see you playing with the repentance stick."

It seems... so.

wrong.

Komachi shook her head violently. If she was really caught, she would have to take the blame again.

If Bai Luo stole the stick of repentance, given Lord Shiki's love for Bai Luo, he would at most be scolded for a few hours, and he would even be able to escape.

But if I steal the stick of repentance, I'm afraid three days and three nights will be the worst punishment. Besides, my home is in the underworld, so I can't just escape to Gensokyo and hide there forever.

Seeing Komachi's face turning pale and blue, and her confusion, Bai Luo continued to induce her.

"You've been lectured by Shiki so many times before, so this time won't be any different. This is a rare opportunity. I still remember what a great man once said: the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on."

"Then...I'll try?"

Komachi finally couldn't resist the temptation and withdrew the hand that held out the repentance stick, already thinking about who to choose as the test subject.

"Komachi, you better return the stick of repentance to me."

Bai Luo suddenly said.

But this time, Komachi has made up her mind.

"No need. I think you're right. The best way to overcome fear is to face it!"

She made the resounding declaration without noticing the petite figure standing behind her.

After hearing this, the man asked in a calm and steady voice.

"Komachi, does your Shiki-sama really scare you so much?"

"Of course, every time I..."

The voice stopped abruptly. Komachi shuddered, swallowed, and turned his head away mechanically.

I saw Shiki Yingji standing beside me, her little face full of black lines.

"sorry."

Komachi knelt down skillfully and quickly to admit her mistake, her face full of fear. She lowered her head, not daring to raise it. The stick of repentance in her hand had long disappeared, and there was only one thought left in her mind - it's over.

However, the expected pain did not come, not even a scolding. She raised her head tremblingly, only to see a shocking scene.

Shiki Yingji ran to Bai Luo at some point and handed him the stick of repentance.

Three big question marks suddenly appeared in Komachi's mind. She had no idea why Lord Shiki gave the stick of repentance to Bai Luo.

"This was obtained through formal application procedures by Bai Luo."

Shiki Eiji seemed to see through her doubts and explained aloud, but when she mentioned the "formal process", her tone was a little guilty. After all, the so-called process was just a few words.

Fortunately, Komachi didn't notice and was still in shock.

Even though she had been working in the underworld for so long, this was the first time she heard that Lord Shiki's stick of repentance could be borrowed.

and...

Komachi secretly glanced at Shiki Eiji out of the corner of her eye, vaguely feeling that Lady Shiki seemed to be waiting for praise.

and many more.

This may not be an illusion.

Komachi's pupils dilated slightly.

Even if he had borrowed the stick of repentance according to the procedure, common sense would have meant that Bai Luo's unauthorized transfer of the stick would have been a violation. However, Lord Si Ji not only did not hit him with the stick of repentance, he didn't even scold him.

This is completely different from the ruthless and impartial Lord Si Ji of the past.

Komachi felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary, but for safety's sake, she suppressed the thought and pretended to know nothing.

"Komachi."

"I'm here!"

Shiki Eihime suddenly shouted, which scared Komachi so much that she thought her thoughts had been discovered.

"It's okay for Bai Luo as a newcomer,"

Shiki Eiji's tone returned to its usual stern tone.

"But as a veteran employee, you should be very clear about the rules. Items you've applied for may not be transferred to others for use unless otherwise specified."

"I know I was wrong."

Komachi knew that she couldn't escape the scolding.

"Admit your mistakes? How many times has this happened?"

Shiki Yingji frowned.

"With your qualifications, even if we don't expect you to set an example for other Yincha, you should at least have a correct work attitude. But you're either lazy or making mistakes all day long. If you continue like this..."

Shiki Eiji's voice suddenly stopped. Komachi looked up in confusion, only to see Bai Luo holding Shiki's hand and talking while pulling it.

"Komachi knows she's wrong. I made fried shrimp for you. Let's go now. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Wasting food is shameful. As King Yanluo, shouldn't you set an example?"

This scene made Komachi more certain of her previous guess that Lord Shiki did have a close relationship with Bai Luo. She was shocked but also moved, and prayed that Bai Luo could change Lord Shiki's nagging nature.

Faced with the temptation of fried shrimp and Bai Luo's coaxing of the nine words "don't waste food, set an example", Shiki Eiji finally compromised, but in the end she still preached to Komachi.

“You have to remember that with great power comes great responsibility.”

...

Meanwhile, inside the Happy House.

Kaguya was lying in a spread-eagle position on a large sea-blue bed, her delicate face full of depression.

"Bao wouldn't run away, right? Where is he? Where did he go?"

The more Kaguya thought about it, the more desperate she became. She turned her head to look at Shu Xiaolu who was playing games in front of the computer.

"Where is your master?"

"Owner?"

Shu Xiaolu tilted his head, recalled for a while, then shook his head and pointed in the direction of the lost bamboo forest.

"Little Green doesn't know, but the master went that way this morning."

Eternal Pavilion!?

Kaguya's eyes widened in vain, and a bold guess arose in her mind.

I deliberately lured myself to the Happy House, making myself full of expectations, but there was no one in sight. In desperation, I could only lie alone on the bed...

Then, Bao ran to Yongyuanting and played duo with Yonglin!

Return to Gensokyo: Chapter 192 I Don't Even Mind Pushing You From Behind

With this idea in mind, Kaguya got up and returned to Eternal Pavilion, determined to catch them in the act. However, not long after she left, Bai Luo returned to the Happy House.

Bai Luo couldn't help but frown in confusion when he found that Kaguya hadn't arrived yet.

Given Kaguya's personality, she should have been waiting here by now.

Originally, Bai Luo thought that Kaguya might have been waiting for him for a long time, so after giving the fried shrimp to Shiki Eiji, he rushed back without stopping. However, he never expected that this guy had not come yet.

Thinking of this, Bai Luo opened the gap leading to the temple and stepped in.

It was noon, and Meihong was probably patrolling in Terakoya or other places in the human village.

of course,

This isn't patrolling.

After all, basically all matters were handed over to other members of the guard team, and she, as the captain, was just in a nominal position. Unless she happened to see something, she only dealt with those non-human races who did not obey the control.

Bai Luo was not lucky. Huiyin was giving a lecture and judging by the time, the class was only halfway through.

Wait a minute.

ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

A full forty minutes passed before the bell for the end of class rang. Huiyin came out with the textbook in her hand and saw Bai Luo lying on the waiting chair bored.

"Huiyin, why are you so slow? Isn't your class 30 minutes long?"

Bai Luo raised his head, his tone filled with a hint of complaint.

"Sorry, Lian Tang, why are you here? Are you here looking for Meihong?"

Bai Luo sat up straight, his expression becoming serious: "I have something important to discuss with her."

"Something important?"

After hearing Bai Luo's words, Huiyin couldn't help but become curious: "What's the matter? Can you tell me?"

Bai Luo shook his head firmly: "No, no, this matter is only known to Meihong."

Can I only tell Meihong?

A bold guess popped up in Huiyin's mind, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

At this moment, Meihong, carrying an insulated lunch box, walked into the temple house. Seeing Bai Luo was there, she was obviously startled.

"Why is Bai Luo here? Are you looking for me?"

"You came just in time."

Huiyin quickly stepped forward, took the lunch box and placed it on the table, then placed Bai Luo's hand in Meihong's palm.

"Hurry up and go back with Bai Luo. I'll ask for leave for you from the guard team. You don't have to bring me food for the next two days. Have fun."

There was a hint of anticipation in Huiyin's tone, and she looked at the two of them gently, as if she was looking forward to her own daughter getting married.

Meihong was a little confused by Huiyin's sudden action. She looked down at the little hand stuffed in her palm, then looked up at Bai Luo's equally confused expression.

"So...what exactly is going on?"

Huiyin shook her head: "I don't know. Bai Luo said that he can only tell you one person. You two should hurry up and don't come back tonight."

Meihong was even more confused. What did he mean by "don't come back tonight"? Was he going to kick her out?

"let's go."

Bai Luo pulled Meihong into the gap. Although he couldn't understand Huiyin's operation, since she was willing to help him, it was naturally the best.

After taking another step out of the gap, the two of them arrived at the Happy House.

Sitting on the bed, Meihong was still confused.

The afternoon sun shines through the window lattice, falling on the sea-blue bed and the mottled shadows of the trees.

Meihong couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me now? What's going on so mysteriously?"

"I have something good to show you. You may have heard of it, but you have definitely never seen it. I'll let you experience it later."

"What good stuff is that?"

Meihong couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, wait until Kaguya comes over, then you two can watch it together and experience it together."

Waiting for Kaguya?

Experience it together?

An unusual blush appeared on Meihong's cheeks.

She remembered that Kaguya came to her for no apparent reason yesterday and told her that she wanted to "truly get out of being single".

She was still confused at the time.
