The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

..................................................................

"Invading the East with endless ambition, but by a twist of fate, he became a disciple of a sage in the Eastern world, and finally reformed himself and started anew... Why do I feel that the experience of this so-called God is so fantastical?"

After listening to Saint Byakuren recount the things she encountered on her trip, Shi Bai, still unable to recover from the incident involving Mu Q, looked conflicted.

"This isn't fantasy; you haven't seen anything far more fantastical."

Patchouli put down the beer can in a rather generous manner and began to speak.

"The original story of that Allah was that he was captured by someone he met randomly in the Eastern world and used as a test subject for medicine. He endured a month of living a life worse than death as a test subject. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Well………"

Someone unconsciously recalled a student who was always aloof and indifferent.

"That's not even the most outrageous part. What's even more outrageous is that he said he was locked in a coffin and sunk to the bottom of the sea for 300 years. When he came out, he was kicked back into the coffin by someone he just happened to meet and sealed there for another 100 years. Can you believe how outrageous that is?"

"Uh……"

Unconsciously, he recalled the strange blond youth he had encountered on the beach when he and Yukari Yakumo returned from beyond the world. The youth had run out of a coffin and was kicked back into it by him. At the time, he thought the other party was maliciously cosplaying DIO.

No wonder, it was about why there were no vampires in the Eastern world and no vampire crisis... This guy is just too unlucky.

"That's right, this is really outrageous. They can't even come up with a decent story."

Shi Bai nodded in deep agreement.

"So you guys are really going? That Scarlet Devil Mansion and..."

"I will definitely go, there's no doubt about that."

Before Shi Bai could finish speaking, Patchouli nodded without hesitation.

"I've made my decision. Byakuren will be in charge of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, while I will handle the Scarlet Prison."

"No, the Crimson Prison is too dangerous. You can't beat Fran, especially when she's in a state of mental chaos and going berserk."

Shi Bai shook his head without hesitation.

"That represents the power of pure destruction; anything in her hands is terrifyingly fragile. As for Crimson Prison, I'll handle that..."

"There's a limit to underestimating people. How do you know I can't handle you? You'd be better off worrying about yourself."

Patchouli snorted and began to speak.

"The fairies have already joined the vampires, and the vampires have also learned about the two wanted criminals hiding in your secret realm. It won't be long before your secret realm becomes a target of everyone's attacks. No matter how strong you are, can you stand against all the forces in the Western world?"

As she said this, Patchouli glanced at the playground below.

On the open space over the playground, several tables were lined up in a row, and the scene of people hunched over their desks taking exams was quite a sight.

The two of them returned just in time for their exams.

Leaving aside the fact that they already had some basic knowledge, the three who were tortured to the point of wanting to live and die on the ship, including Huan Yue, Meng Yue, and Sariel, Alice, Tatara Kogasa, and even a certain unwilling and scheming rabbit, the succubus was on the side acting as the examiner to prevent such a terrible situation from happening.

"With disaster looming, you still have the mind to dabble in these strange things. Do you even have any self-awareness? Once that information leaks out, in the face of absolute profit, even former enemies can become partners. Can you withstand a combined attack from so many surrounding secret realms?"

Patchouli wore a cold smile.

"Don't try to control what I do. It's my freedom to do whatever I want. Instead of worrying about things that have nothing to do with you, you should take care of yourself first."

She inherently loathed others pointing fingers at her, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to burn down her own shrine, betray her faith, and become a so-called abandoned shrine maiden.

Even though she is no longer human, her stubborn personality remains unchanged.

"Um... okay, I apologize, my commanding tone earlier was indeed a bit inappropriate."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai nodded decisively.

"But I still want to add that Fran's abilities are quite dangerous. If you go alone, there's a high chance of something unexpected happening. Just in case, why don't I go with you..."

"no need."

Before Shi Bai could finish speaking, Patchouli interrupted him again without any politeness.

"Let me say it again, my affairs are none of your business. You'd better think about how to deal with the upcoming combined attack from multiple secret realms. That ambitious man will never let go of this golden opportunity, especially since you have a former archangel from heaven here."

"That man? Which man?"

Ignoring the other party's attitude, Shi Bai raised an eyebrow with a hint of curiosity.

"Born under mysterious circumstances, half-human and half-demon, the actual behind-the-scenes manager of the Scarlett family, the one who orchestrated and guided all of this."

Saint Byakuren answered in Patchouli's place.

"These confidential information about the vampires were all told to us by God. Although on the surface, that man is just an ordinary and unremarkable person who mostly acts as a messenger for the vampires to communicate with the outside world, according to God, he is the actual controller behind the Scarlet family... The fairy clan, for example, was persuaded by him to join the vampire camp."

"That's right, he was an ambitious guy, and also a very terrifying guy who was good at hiding himself. That's God's assessment of that man."

Patchouli leaned back in her chair, her face full of disdain.

"After learning about the information you have here, that man will definitely take corresponding actions. Most likely, he will sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, letting the surrounding secret realms unite for their own interests and make the first move against you, while he, representing the vampires, hides in the shadows to take advantage of the situation."

"Half-human, half-demon... There are so many familiar faces here."

Shi Bai reached up and pressed his forehead, feeling a strange toothache.

"So you'd better strengthen your defenses quickly, because this place might become a new battlefield in the next second."

With her right hand draped over the back of the chair, Patchouli's tone returned to its initial slightly languid quality.

"Even if you are strong, you can't fight against everyone, right? This area includes this secret realm, and there are a total of 372 other secret realms. Too many ants can crush an elephant, not to mention that there are many powerful beings in those secret realms as well."

"Hmm...you make a lot of sense."

After thinking about it for a moment, Shi Bai nodded in agreement.

"So, hurry up..."

"To prevent them from causing trouble later, I'd better beat them all into submission one by one. The newly built school is short of cleaners to clean the toilets... It's a sure thing, a sure thing. Thanks for your suggestion."

"???"

P.S.: Good morning!!!

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lost Name, The Fairy King, Idiot 9

Patchouli's words successfully caused the surrounding secret realms to suffer.

Some bored fellow, taking advantage of his idle time, took his gluttonous beast, which was lying bored in the woods munching on grass, and went to pay a rather "friendly" and "friendly" visit to each of those secret realms.

"Remember, we are going there with a friendly attitude to establish diplomatic relations with them. We must make them feel at home and comfortable, understand?"

Before leaving, Shi Bai solemnly instructed Taotie.

"........."

...Wasn't that their home originally?

Squatting in front of someone, Taotie's gaze was subtle.

"And also, we are good people, we won't take a single needle or thread from the people, understand?"

—The Taotie nodded thoughtfully.

The next morning, when Patchouli got up with a yawn and planned to take a walk in the woods, she was horrified to see that the academy, which had been nearly empty the day before, was now inexplicably filled with many more monsters.

If she hadn't seen these monsters sweeping with brooms, wiping glass and doors with rags, or pruning branches with scissors, she would have almost thought that the new wizarding realm had been silently conquered by these monsters.

"Hmm, you mean them?"

Putting down his teacup, Shi Bai sat behind his spacious and bright desk, having changed his clothes and wearing a hat, and spoke seriously.

"Because the academy is newly built, there is a huge shortage of manpower in all aspects. So yesterday I went to other major secret realms to post small advertisements, telling them that there should be love in the world, and that if everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place. They were moved by me and came to apply for various positions with great enthusiasm... Is there any problem?"

"……nothing."

Out of the corner of her eye, Patchouli caught sight of two powerful lords of a secret realm, whom she knew, diligently wiping the glass with a rag outside the window. Her lips twitched slightly.

"I'm here to say goodbye."

"What, are you still insisting on going over there alone?"

Shi Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the other person.

"That's right, that kind of thing..."

"Oh, remember to close the door when you leave, thank you."

With his hands clasped together in front of him, the man nodded solemnly.

"By the way, I've already bought you insurance, with my name listed as the beneficiary. The burial plot and everything else have been arranged, so you can rest assured."

"........."

After Patchouli left, Inaba Tei, who inexplicably felt relieved, crawled out from under the table.

"Phew...that guy's finally gone..."

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with one hand, the cunning rabbit wore a look of relief.

"No matter how much hatred you have for the other party, please don't hide in such an embarrassing place next time."

Shi Bai glanced at the other person.

"You think we want to hide there?! But the only place to hide in this entire principal's office is under the desk!!"

The cunning rabbit looked completely self-righteous.

"And as long as you're not embarrassed, it's always someone else who's embarrassed—that's a golden rule!"

"...Do as you please."

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai leaned back in his chair and covered his face with a book.

"By the way, you got full marks on the multiple-choice questions in yesterday's math test, but you didn't touch the other questions. Be prepared to retake the test."

"Hey? You don't care about the grudge between us and her?"

Emperor Pan looked on with a look of utter surprise.

"What grudge could there be? At most, it's that you lied to her in the past... I know about how you got cornered and beaten up in her dorm yesterday. Who do you think I am?"

"Since you know this, why aren't you coming to help?!"

When his dark past was brought up, the emperor looked slightly embarrassed.

"And besides, we weren't hit by them!!!"

"Is there a difference? At most, we both got a lesson..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Bai's expression changed slightly.

"No way? Not again... If Alice contacts me, just tell her I went out for a walk!!"

After saying that, Shi Bai jumped out of the window. After that, the door to the principal's office was pushed open, and Alice, who was carrying a homemade breakfast, poked her head in from outside.

"Father...is the headmaster in here?"

"The principal went out for a walk."

Because Pan Di pointed to the window, he added an extra sentence.

"He jumped out of the window at the last minute to escape."

"........."

I don't know who taught Alice the saying that to win your father's heart, you must win his stomach. During this time, Alice, who is quite capable, took over someone's three meals a day.

The key point is that, faced with the loving meal that Alice specially prepared for him, in order not to hurt her young heart, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and eat it all.

For a moment, Shi Bai felt as if he had returned to that dark and hopeless time when Xiao Xi made him disastrous dishes...

This is an ordinary day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Beyond this ordinary reality, various forces are stirring, and a massive vortex is gradually taking shape.

"Your actions are leading the entire fairy race into the abyss, and I absolutely cannot help you!!"

As Cirno walked in from outside, before she could even speak, Kamishirasawa Keine, who was under house arrest in the room, firmly expressed her beliefs.

"Really? I don't think so."

Cirno walked to the table and sat down, her expression unmoved.
