The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Almost at the first glance, Shi Bai had already confirmed the other person's identity in his heart. Looking at the other person's serious and anxious expression, he tremblingly uttered the first words he had spoken when he came into this world.

"Black...Black Cat...Police...Chief?"

"Yes, it's me. Were you attacked?"

Relieved, Chief Black Cat began to question him.

"The forest hasn't been too..."

He didn't hear what was said next, because after receiving a positive answer, he immediately fainted...

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

"Tsk, it feels like I had a really bad dream... That's strange, why would I suddenly have a dream?"

With difficulty, Shi Bai opened his eyes and pressed his temples hard with his hands.

Generally speaking, the stronger a being is, the less they dream. Especially after reaching a certain level of strength, it becomes even less likely that they will dream. Take the ancient gods in the void, for example; each of their dreams represents the birth and death of a world.

The world that Shibai experienced with Yakumo Yukari before was the so-called "Dream of the Ancient Gods," where the entire world was in a dream of the embryo of the ancient god.

"I guess it's because I've been thinking about it all day that I'm dreaming about it at night. After all, I promised Riluoyuan that I would write down my past experiences... Damn Black Cat Sheriff!!"

Shi Bai inexplicably felt a toothache.

"Forget it, I should probably use teleportation guns less often in the future. They are convenient, but... um?"

For some reason, Shi Bai suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked down, he saw Shen Qi using his arm as a pillow, hugging him in a deep sleep, with some strands of silver hair falling loosely around his mouth.

A beautiful woman in my arms, her soft skin warm and fragrant.

Shi Bai: "..."

While he was still in a daze of shock, Shen Qi had already woken up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in bed, wearing a white nightgown.

"Finally woke up?"

After tilting her head and stretching vigorously, Shen Qi glanced at him.

"Wait a minute, my mind is a bit muddled..."

Covering his cheek with one hand, Shi Bai waved at the other person.

"What happened before... I don't remember being drunk before, right? What's going on now?"

“That idiot Yumeko put you in my room… Honestly, I told her to put you in the guest room.”

Kneeling on the bed, Shen Qi pouted, seemingly with resentment.

"After taking a bath, I dealt with some backlogged tasks, but you said those things to me before, so I thought I'd go back to my room and rest for a bit."

"...Didn't you see there was a perfectly healthy person on the bed?"

"How dare you say that?!"

It would have been better if Shi Bai hadn't spoken, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Qi got angry. She pounced on him and, with a vengeful spirit, forcefully pulled his cheeks to both sides while speaking viciously.

"I'm not blind, how could I not see you!? But this is still my room, how could I just stand by and watch you sleep in my bed!?"

"Shuoyi Mud Wine Seal Cap should be replaced by a beast..."

When Shen Qi pounced on him again, Shi Bai felt a strange flutter in his heart and helplessly raised his hands.

"You think I didn't want to?! But you just grabbed me like that!! I couldn't run away even if I wanted to. You were clearly sleeping, so why did you use so much force?!"

Noticing the change in her body, her face inexplicably flushed red, and Shen Qi increased the pressure on her hands.

"Okay, fine, you use me as a body pillow, and you sleep with me... But!! Even when you're sleeping, can't your hands stay still?! They're all over the place... How are you so good at this?!

"........."

Shi Bai was speechless.

"Hmph, now you know just how awful you were to me, right? Tell me yourself, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Releasing her grip, and looking down at the person below, Shen Qi let out a cold snort of considerable dissatisfaction.

"Uh...did you just sleep with him in your arms?"

"Then! What! You! Still! Want! To! Do! It!?"

She practically pressed her entire face against the other person's, her eyes seemingly blazing with fire as she spoke each word clearly.

"You've taken advantage of me by holding me in your arms all night long, so what's the big difference between this and those other things?!"

"Okay, I sincerely apologize to you..."

As he spoke, Shi Bai turned his head away somewhat guiltily, but his head was forcibly held in place by the other party's hands before he could even move it.

"An apology? Do you think an apology alone will be enough!?"

Shinki's words had a hint of gritted teeth.

"You slept comfortably all night, but I didn't get a wink of sleep. You seemed quite happy touching me all night, didn't you?"

"Um... I don't think the main responsibility for this mistake lies with..."

"What? The facts are right in front of you, and you're trying to deny it now!?"

Shen Qi wore a cold smile.

"If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I...!?"

Feeling the touch coming from above her lips, Shinki, who had never expected the other person to be so bold, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Twelve: Once a Loli

The spring night is worth a thousand dollars, and the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy.

During the journey, Yumeko tried several times to come and inform Shinki to handle official business, but hearing the faint sounds coming from inside the room, she turned back several times.

After repeating this several times, looking at the pile of official documents that had accumulated over several days, Mengzi thought for a moment and then decisively set fire to everything, burning it all to ashes.

As Lady Shinki's personal maid, it is my duty to help Lady Shinki with her troubles. Let Lady Shinki have some rare time to relax and unwind.

But... what was that poem again?

Yumeko glanced back at Lady Shinki's room, her expression slightly strange.

I removed the general's battle robe, and we spent a warm spring night in the hibiscus-scented tent.

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

Well... we've finally managed to marry off Lady Shinki...

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

"I feel like I've really lost out this time... That's strange, I remember you weren't like this before?"

Lying naked in someone's arms, Shenqi glanced at the other person sideways.

"Weren't you supposed to be the abstinent type before? How come you've become so lecherous now?"

"When emotions run deep, one cannot control oneself... If you had slapped me back then, I might have come to my senses."

With a sigh, Shi Bai leaned down and pinned the other person beneath him, looking directly into their eyes and speaking solemnly.

"I rarely make promises to others, but I will take full responsibility for things like this."

"Hmph, I've really lost out this time. I thought I could tease him casually like before without any problems, but I never expected to end up losing everything..."

Slightly uncomfortable, Shenqi turned her head to the side and let out a soft hum.

"You've really taken it all... Wait, it's been several days, I still need to get up and deal with it..."

"Those minor tasks can be handled by your subordinates. You need to learn to trust Mengzi; she can do a better job than you..."

Listening to the faint sounds of conversation coming from inside the room, Yumeko thought for a moment and then nodded thoughtfully.

Then, she got up and went to the office, where she decisively burned all the newly piled-up documents.

Looking at the burning flames in front of her, Yumeko nodded confidently.

"No matter how much work comes my way, I can handle it quickly... That's right, I can do it even better than Lady Shinki!!"

The burning document: "..."

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

Shi Bai stayed in the Demon Realm for five days before Shen Qi kicked him out, citing his obstruction of official business.

Because they spent three of those five days in bed, and the remaining two days... in the bathroom or on the sofa.

"Talent selection program?"

Shenqi was slightly taken aback when she saw the thick stack of notebooks that Mengzi had placed in front of her.

"That's right, this is what Lord Shi Bai entrusted me to give you before he left."

With her hands crossed in front of her, Yumeko began to speak earnestly.

"Over the past few days, I've come to deeply appreciate the hardships you've endured in your work, Lady Shinki. I personally feel it's absolutely necessary to streamline the workforce. There's far too much work that doesn't need your attention; you only need to handle the more important matters."

"...Did you write this secretly while I was asleep?"

After flipping through a few pages, Shenqi's lips involuntarily curled into a slight smile.

"Let's leave it at that for now. The specific plan will be implemented in the Demon City first... By the way, Yumeko, what about all those official documents that piled up a few days ago?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Qi glanced around the empty room and asked the other person some questions with a hint of curiosity.

"I have already taken care of everything."

Nodding, Yumeko gave an elegant and appropriate smile.

"It is my duty as a maid to help Lady Shinki with her troubles. By the way, Lady Shinki, would you like me to make some renovations and upgrades to your room? I have been reading several books recently and I am confident that I can create a perfect world for you two."

"Ahem... Don't go around spreading this kind of thing, especially not to that guy, Matara Okina."

After coughing a few times, Shen Qi turned her head away.

"I'll leave the room to you."

"Please rest assured, Lady Shenqi."

Yumeko gave a slight bow to Shinki in front of her, and a confident smile appeared on her face.

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

Gensokyo, right in the center of the sunflower field.

Why did you bring so many Buddhist scriptures back?

Looking at the Buddhist scriptures that were almost scattered all over the ground in front of her, Kazami Yuuka's expression couldn't help but look rather strange.

"Cultivating one's character and temperament."

Exhaling, Shi Bai stood up from the grass.

"By the way, where are Xiaosan and the others?"

"You mean the possessed spirit that's with you?"

Holding a parasol, Yuuka Kazami sat down at the table, her expression noncommittal.

"She was kidnapped by several journalists. The specifics are a bit complicated to explain in words, so let them explain it to you themselves... Look, here they are again."

"……Uh?"

Slightly puzzled, Shi Bai turned his head and saw several figures flying rapidly towards him from the horizon.

"...Wenwen? Yuli?"

Shi Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw the two girls landing in front of him.

His impression of Aya Shameimaru, Hatake Himekaido, and Momiji Inubashiri was still limited to when they were little girls. When Yuyuko Saigyouji died and sealed the Saigyou Ayakashi, he couldn't resist the three little girls' requests and sent them to a newspaper office in Hell for further training.

The little girls who used to surround him have all grown into graceful young women, and he didn't recognize them at first glance.

"As expected, I knew my guess was right. After all, it's not common to find a great demon with the same name."

When Aya Shameimaru saw Shiro, her eyes immediately lit up. And when her gaze swept over Yuuka Kazami, who was sitting calmly at the table drinking tea, her eyes lit up even more.

Almost instantly, Aya Shameimaru approached Shiro, a small notebook appearing in her hand. She asked the great yokai, who was still a part of her childhood memories but whose appearance had not changed at all over the years, with an eager expression.
