The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Hmm? Really? But I remember you once said you were a lolicon?"

With unusual composure, Kazami Yuuka took a sip of tea and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Being a lolicon is a belief, a way of life, and I'm proud to be one!!"

With his head held high and chest puffed out, someone wore an air of great righteousness.

"If you're so capable, just say it out loud instead of sneaking around using this kind of telepathic communication. It's not like it's anything shameful, is it?"

Looking at the person standing tall and proud in front of her, the corners of her mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly, but Kazami Yuuka's words were full of disdain.

"By the way, I don't have any money here. After all, I don't usually need money. Ellie is always staying in front of the Dream Mansion and doesn't go out, so don't count on her... Do you have any money?"

"Me? I have a card here... uh..."

Just as he was about to confidently take out his bank card and slam it on the table, he suddenly remembered something and paused for a moment.

Speaking of my bank card... I think I lent it to Heca when I took the young lady to the underworld before?

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Fourteen: Shi Bai's Numbers

The duel between Aya Shameimaru and Hatake Himekaido ended with Aya Shameimaru's victory.

In terms of strength alone, although both are Karasu Tengu, Aya Shameimaru is indeed much stronger than Hadeki Himekaido... The main reason is that Aya Shameimaru is quite cunning.

For Aya Shameimaru, who would readily betray her best friend verbally for the sake of borrowing a thread, there's nothing she wouldn't do. For example, when she's at a disadvantage in a battle, she might switch her attack target to the opponent's clothes...

"Alright, I can lend you the money... but wait a moment, I need to go to hell to get my card back."

After glancing at the grass, Shi Bai quickly turned his head away, coughed a few times, and began to speak without looking at anyone else.

"...Also, when you two fight, try to be a little more considerate of the impact. This isn't like when we were kids."

"So it's all this bastard's fault!!"

With her face flushed red, Ji Haitang Yuli tightly protected her chest, her upper garment almost completely removed by the other party. Her words were filled with grief and indignation.

"This guy is doing this on purpose... You should die too!!!"

"...I'm leaving those two to you."

Turning his head speechlessly, Shi Bai spoke to Kazami Yuuka beside him.

"I don't have much money on me right now; it's all in my card. I need to go find that guy and get it back first."

"Did they fight like this before?"

Pointing to the scene that was almost an R-rated event, Kazami Yuuka rested her chin on her hand, her face full of curiosity.

"Ah... I guess so. After all, those two seem to have never gotten along since they were little. I suspect they might be natural enemies..."

Shi Bai pressed his forehead with his hand, looking slightly pained.

"Back then, if they started fighting, I could have gone up and lifted them up one by one to stop the fight with physical means, but now you can't expect me to..."

Before someone could finish speaking, a piece of clothing flew over from the other side and landed on his head.

Shi Bai: "..."

Yuuka Kazami: "..."

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

hell.

"What? Is something the matter?"

Looking at the person in front of her with a dark expression, reaching out their hand, the goddess blinked and looked completely innocent.

"Give me back my card, I have no money left."

Shi Bai's expression was concise and to the point.

"Card? What card?"

"...the bank card I lent you before."

"What!? Wasn't that a gift from you!?"

Heca suddenly stood up from behind the counter, looking utterly astonished.

"You're not pretty, but you have a lot of beautiful ideas."

Shi Bai glanced at the other person with a look of disgust.

"I only agreed to lend you that card temporarily to pay off my debts. When did I say I was going to give it to you? Don't forget, you have thousands of IOUs with me. Don't think that what you owe me can be so easily given away..."

"What's wrong with me?!"

"...That's not the problem. The key issue now is..."

"You'd better explain yourself clearly today, or you're not leaving here!!"

Leaning forward and placing his hands on the table, Heca spoke angrily.

"You are slandering a noble and sacred goddess. As the supreme deity who rules over the entire underworld and hell, I have every reason and excuse to address your disrespectful behavior..."

"...I misspoke earlier, you are actually quite pretty."

"Then why are you clutching your chest right now?"

"My conscience is aching..."

"........."

Hecatel Lapis Lazuli, the goddess of hell, has known Shi Bai for a long time. She appeared because of the will of the underworld when it was born, and is the supreme deity who rules over the underworld and hell.

Because someone initially gave her several trendy clothing and styling guides, her outfits became exceptionally fashionable.

He usually wears a black off-shoulder T-shirt with "Welcome HELL" printed on it, which you can buy for ten dollars at a roadside stall, and a pleated skirt in green, red and purple.

As the saying goes, "a barefoot person has nothing to fear from someone wearing shoes," so she generally doesn't wear shoes and is habitually barefoot, a blessing for foot fetishists.

Heca's direct superior is the Dragon God, who is truly second only to the Dragon God. However, because she hates trouble and prefers to delegate tasks to others, and because she rarely appears in public, very few people in the Underworld and Hell know her identity.

So far, she runs a mahjong parlor in the city of hell, and exists as the proprietress of that mahjong parlor.

"...I remember I should have several hundred thousand in this card, right?"

After examining his bank card, which Heca had dawdled and returned, for a moment, Shi Bai looked up at her with a rather strange expression.

"Huh? Is that how it is?"

Feeling slightly guilty, Heca turned her head to look in other directions, pretending to be admiring the scenery.

"It doesn't matter if you spend all my money, I already had a feeling it was going to happen... but could you please tell me?"

With his hand pressed to his forehead, Shi Bai's words carried a hint of danger.

"...How did my card end up with a debt of 100 million yuan?"

"Uh...I have something to do, so I'll be going now!!"

Her eyes darted around slightly, and Heka was quite decisive in turning around and running away immediately. However, just as her figure disappeared into the void, she was bounced back out, and at the same time, the door of the mahjong parlor slammed shut.

"Don't even think about it. Do you think you can escape? I've completely sealed off this space. No one can get in now."

Looking at Heka, who was standing in front of him with a blank expression, Shi Bai crossed his arms and sneered.

"I used to have some savings, but somehow I became a millionaire in debt. Don't you think you need to explain this a little?"

"...Can I write an IOU?"

After thinking for a moment, Heca obediently raised his hand.

Shi Bai didn't reply to this. Instead, he took out all the thousands of IOUs that the useless goddess in front of him had given him in the past and placed them in front of her.

"You still keep these things...?"

Looking at the huge pile of IOUs in front of him, Heca's lips twitched, and he began to speak dryly.

"Look, you already have so many IOUs, one more won't make a difference. How about I write you another one? It's only 100 million yuan, you can pay it back quickly with your abilities..."

"What do you take me for?"

"Uh...A?T?M?"

"...Just tell me straight, how exactly do you want to resolve this kind of situation?"

After a moment of silence, Shi Bai put away the large pile of IOUs on the table again, and forcibly snatched more than a dozen IOUs from the other party's hands that the other party had tried to hide when he wasn't paying attention.

"Do you really think I earn money easily? That money is all my hard-earned money, the money I made writing books. And you spent it all, fine, but what the hell?! You added a million yen to my debt... a million yen!! Even if an ordinary Shinigami worked day and night, it would take them almost a year to save that much money!! That's enough for me to buy ten Reimus, okay?!?"

"Reimu?"

Hecario blinked curiously.

"This question is not important... She was a shameless shrine maiden who would sell herself for money without any scruples."

"Hmm...then I'll sell myself too!!!"

It seemed that Shi Bai's words gave her a hint. After thinking about it for a moment, the eyes of the seemingly useless goddess suddenly lit up.

"How about this, I'll sell myself to you. Once I become yours, I won't owe you any money anymore!!!"

"Oh, no."

Shi Bai's face was cold and indifferent.

Heca: "..."

"...Wait, wait a minute!!"

Having regained her true form, Heca pointed at herself up and down with her hands, and began to speak with some resentment.

"Don't you feel any attraction to me like this? This is a genuine goddess, the supreme deity who rules over the underworld and hell, how could you bear to..."

"Oh, I think it's better not to."

Leaning against the counter, Shi Bai looked disgusted.

"Stop thinking about it, just pay me back. Things aren't like they used to be. I used to treat money like dirt, but now I have to earn money to support my family, okay? In the end, I didn't get a single penny back, and instead, I inexplicably have a debt of 100 million... Forget it, I guess I'll just beat you up to vent my anger first."

As if suddenly remembering something, someone's face involuntarily darkened, and while rolling up his sleeves, Shi Bai muttered to himself.

"Anyway, when you think about it, you simply can't come up with that much money. Forget everything else for now, let's just beat you up first..."

"Well, well... you see, we've known each other for so many years, talking about money would hurt our relationship, wouldn't it?"

Heca chuckled dryly, then involuntarily shrank back behind the counter and began to speak with great difficulty.

"How about this, I'll take a slight loss, and you..."

"How could that be? Talking about feelings is too expensive."

Shi Bai interrupted the goddess's words without any politeness, a cold smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll try to go easy on her. For someone who's so unrepentant, I think it's necessary to teach her a lesson. What do you think?"

"...I still have some money here."

After a moment of silence, Heca opened the drawer and, with a pained expression, poured the loose change inside onto the table.

"I have about 1000 yuan here, that's all I have, I can't come up with any more money."

"What I lack isn't 1000 yuan, it's 100 million yuan!!"

Looking at the large pile of loose change on the table, Shi Bai felt utterly exhausted.

"Tell me honestly, where exactly did you spend all my money? A million is no small sum, and this has only been a few years!"

"Uh... I lost at cards..."

Heca spoke hesitantly.

"to be honest!!"

"...It's lost."

Turning her head, Heca began to speak, somewhat embarrassed.

"I was only 20 yuan in debt at first, but after I accidentally lost this bank card and then found it again, the debt jumped to 100 million yuan..."

"...Couldn't you check who used it?"
