The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Fate is not immutable. If you can master your abilities to a higher level, you might be able to glimpse that river, and then you will be able to do a lot more."

Holding each other's hands, they strolled through the sea of ​​red spider lilies. Shi Bai lazily began to speak to her.

"That river between existence and non-existence, I call the River of Destiny... However, such things are still too far removed from you right now. I will tell you about them in detail when you have mastered an absolutely invincible technique. A power of destiny is an extremely rare and powerful ability, even in the vast world. Right now, you are still too naive."

"...Why can't I see any trace of fate in you?"

After taking a little time to process the information she had received, and looking at the vast expanse of beautiful flowers around her, Remilia looked up at the man beside her after a moment of silence.

"I have never heard of anyone being able to enter the underworld. Isn't the underworld a place only the dead can go to?"

"If I were still bound by fate, I would probably have been found long ago. Well... to put it simply, I transcended the Three Realms and was no longer subject to the Five Elements a long time ago."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai smiled at the loli vampire beside him.

"The rules regarding the underworld can actually be considered as the rules of the world. This is a means for the world to protect all living beings in this world. The dead cannot go to the world of the living, and the living cannot linger in the world of the dead. The most important thing is that the dead and the living are not related..."

"Shi Bai! You've secretly led people to the Underworld again!!"

Before Shi Bai could finish his sentence, a rather frantic voice came from far behind him.

"Do you even know how many extra days I have to work every time something like this happens?!"

"Uh……"

Turning his head, Shi Bai's lips twitched slightly as he watched a certain useless goddess speeding towards him from the roadside.

Having not seen each other for so long, the other person seemed to have become even more unconventional in their clothing. A pale white kimono paired with a shawl draped around their neck gave them a rather elegant and luxurious look, but the scene of them roaring and running towards me...

Shi Bai turned his head away, unable to bear looking at him.

"Stop pretending, I know you know!! Do you even realize how much trouble your actions of smuggling the living into the underworld have caused me?!"

Heca's gaze swept over the little girl being led by someone's hand, and he looked heartbroken.

"The rules of the underworld must never be broken!! Your actions have already become serious..."

Shi Bai directly handed a bank card to the other party.

"No, don't think you can buy me with money!! This is a bottom line issue, do you know what a bottom line issue is!? It's absolutely not allowed..."

"I haven't counted the money inside, but it should be around a hundred thousand. You can withdraw it from any bank in the underworld. The password is 2333."

The goddess's words were abruptly interrupted by someone.

"...Ahem, I would definitely take action to suppress the others and send them to hell, but you are different. Considering that you have made contributions to the underworld for hundreds of years, I will let this matter go today."

Heca coughed slightly a few times, then reached out and snatched the bank card from Shi Bai's hand without changing his expression.

"This is a one-time exception, understand?"

"Oh."

Rolling his eyes inwardly, Shi Bai turned his head and looked back at where the other person had come from.

"By the way, what brings you here for a walk today? Shouldn't you be..."

"I owe money, of course I have to run away."

While seemingly happy, Heka carefully put away his extra gain—the bank card—and answered with an air of matter-of-fact composure.

"Owes money..."

"Oh right, I almost forgot, this one is no longer usable, we need to replace it."

As if suddenly remembering something, Heka's kimono instantly transformed into a T-shirt dress, and her appearance reverted to that of the original goddess of hell.

"Alright, I need to figure out another identity for myself... You guys have fun, and have a good time in the underworld!"

After giving Remilia a final greeting, Heca flew away, his figure quickly disappearing into the dark void unique to the Underworld.

"……who is she?"

After a moment of silence, Remilia turned to look at Shi Bai.

"She is the supreme deity of the underworld, and the underworld and hell are actually under her jurisdiction... In short, she is just a heartless and useless goddess who hates trouble and is addicted to mahjong. She has borrowed a lot of money from me and has written a lot of IOUs. There is no need to pay too much attention to her."

He finished speaking in one breath, not caring how much his words had shocked the other person, and directly changed the subject.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Let's check with the Grim Reaper first. She shouldn't have been reincarnated yet..."

Remilia: "..."

...Remilia felt that what she had seen and heard today would shock her for centuries.

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

Shi Bai was quite familiar with the Underworld, after all, he had worked there for hundreds of years.

However, as time went by and the world's population increased, the number of Yama and Shinigami also continued to grow, and various office buildings similar to the Hall of Right and Wrong appeared one after another.

Furthermore, the underworld is no longer the lifeless and stagnant place it once was, so for a moment, Shi Bai almost lost his way.

"Brother, you're messing around again."

Looking at the two figures not far away, Shiki Eiki sighed softly and turned to look at Shi Bai with a hint of helplessness.

"This kind of thing is not allowed by the rules of the underworld, and that vampire also carries a considerable amount of sin. Bringing a sinner before me, brother, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Reckless? Perhaps a little bit... but there are some things that I really can't explain to you clearly in a short time."

Shi Bai took out a pocket watch from his storage ring and showed it to Shiki Eiki.

"Look at this pocket watch, what do you see?"

"A pocket watch? But... wait, what is this thing..."

Originally indifferent, Shiki Eiki's eyes widened slightly when her gaze fell upon the pocket watch.

"【The Origin of the World】, something I obtained unintentionally when I went out before."

Shi Bai snapped his fingers.

"The origin is hidden among all living beings. To integrate such a large piece of origin into the world would require a great deal of effort and time. But if we were to directly bestow it upon a certain being in the world, like this..."

As he spoke, Shi Bai casually tossed the pocket watch in his hand toward the undead over there. The moment it left his hand, the golden pocket watch disappeared into the undead's body in an instant, without the undead being aware of it.

"...What will happen to her in the future?"

Quite surprised by what she was seeing, Shiki Eiki couldn't help but ask Tokihaku a question.

"Hmm... let me think... it'll probably awaken a Stand called World or Star Platinum!!"

After pretending to think for a moment, the person nodded with a serious expression.

"However, considering certain factors, she will likely inherit the world. It's just a matter of whether she or her brother's Stand, Gold Experience Requiem, will be more powerful at that time."

Shiki Eiki: "..."

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

"...Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

After returning from the underworld, Remilia still looked rather gloomy, but she was noticeably better than before when she was withdrawn.

"I will do my best to do anything that I can do."

Remilia looked up at the man in front of her with a serious expression.

"Hmm? No rush. I've already written all those things into the contract, and strictly speaking, there's nothing I need you to do right now."

Shi Bai took out the previously signed contract and waved it in his hand.

"But if I had to say, it would be that starting today, you will be receiving systematic learning as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You can first wander around the school and get to know your future classmates."

"……School?"

Remilia was completely taken aback by the answer she received.

“But I have more important things to do now, I can’t stay here, my sister doesn’t know yet…”

"Your sister is also at school. If you want to come and visit her, then come over."

As he spoke, Shi Bai turned and walked out the door.

"By the way, remember to call me Principal when you're at school."

"This is the first school rule."

P.S.: Good afternoon!

Chapter Thirty-One: Idiot 9 Doesn't Want to Be a Mom

People cannot be generalized.

For example, Shi Bai once punched a planet to pieces in a fit of extreme anger, and he also sat on a stool and stared at the sun for 100 years in a state of extreme boredom.

The above reliable data is not intended to prove anything, but simply to illustrate that Shi Bai can be more bored than anyone else when he's bored, and he can also be more capable of causing trouble than anyone else when he wants to.

"You're awake? Congratulations, the surgery was a success."

Looking down at the purple-haired girl who was slowly opening her eyes, Shi Bai smiled as she looked at her. She was wearing a white lab coat and glasses, making herself look like a crazy scientist.

"From today onwards, you're a boy!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this shocking news, Patchouli, who had just woken up, was completely stunned.

"Judging from your expression, I was just joking."

Standing upright beside the hospital bed, Shi Bai spoke with a serious expression.

"Actually, I lied just now; the surgery was not successful."

"........."

After a full quarter of an hour of silence, Patchouli groped her way up from the hospital bed. After briefly assessing her physical condition, she looked up at the "doctor" in front of her.

"Aren't you the principal? When did you become a doctor?"

"Actually, I'm an all-rounder. I can do everything from putting up small ads, playing mid lane, and doing homework for elementary school students to cleaning toilets, unclogging sewers, and stealing kills from ADCs."

He walked to the leather swivel chair and sat down facing the hospital bed, his hands clasped together in front of him.

"Getting back to the main point, you should be aware of your current physical condition, right?"

"Of course I know that, but it's none of your business."

Patchouli turned her head and snorted coldly.

"So what if I won't be able to do strenuous exercise in the future? Anyway, mages rely on magic to exist, and I'm planning to switch careers and study magic anyway... If you want to laugh at me, go ahead and laugh. You don't need to worry about this at all."

"Hmm... The patient's diagnosis is initially determined to be severe persecutory delusions. As for the next treatment plan..."

Shi Bai took a pen from his pocket and began writing on the medical record.

"Don't expect me to thank you. I've never asked you to save me. If you want me to repay your kindness, forget it."

Patchouli habitually crossed her arms and wore a cold smile.

"Record it however you like. Do you think I'd get angry over such a low-level trick?"

"Do your job and love it. This is the most basic professional ethic that a doctor must have. Even with the most vicious and unreasonable patients suffering from bipolar disorder, doctors must maintain basic patience."

Shi Bai tapped the medical record in his hand with his pen, then looked up at the other person.

"Alright, mage, would you like to receive my treatment? While I may not be able to completely cure you, I should be able to..."

"unnecessary!!"

He was met with a fierce reply from the girl.

"Understood. The patient is inexplicably agitated and needs some sedatives."

Shi Bai snapped his fingers, put away the medical record book, and then with a flick of his hand, a large rock appeared in his hand.

He stood up from the chair, weighing the large rock in his hands, his face solemn.

"However, the process of using the sedative may be a little painful, so please bear with it. It will be over in a while."

"...I've calmed down."

"Hmm? Is the patient sure he doesn't want a sedative?"
