Traveling through Gensokyo, but the system is Jujutsu Kaisen?

"Oh~!" Shenqi grinned, expressing his dissatisfaction.

But Mengzi seemed unable to bear it any longer and ignored Shenqi's protest. After bowing, he led people to lower the dining table from the ceiling.

"Mother, where is the succubus?"

"She said she didn't want to eat breakfast." Shenqi said awkwardly.

Damn it, that succubus clearly wants to see us make a fool of ourselves! Alice thought with gritted teeth.

The succubus who was eating in the kitchen sneezed, looked around, and when she found nothing, she continued eating.

Breakfast ended up being a little late, but it was no big deal.

However, when everyone was seated, an unexpected guest arrived.

"Hey, are you all done eating?"

Index, dressed in a black robe, opened the door, looked at the people seated, and spoke with a smile.

"Do you mind if I come and have a meal?"

"Of course." It's just adding one more pair of chopsticks, no big deal. Alice also likes to have more acquaintances to eat with.

"Thank you then."

Index walked over slowly, pulled out a chair and sat down, and Xiangbei was sitting next to her.

Xiangbei looked at Index, the senior Red Poison patient whom he wanted to meet first when he first came to the Demon Realm. Later, because of the possible inference, Xiangbei felt it would be better not to meet her. Unexpectedly, she came here by herself today.

When you are looking at others, they may also be looking at you. Index is also observing this human who came with Alice and the others.

Speaking of which, humans... I haven't seen them for hundreds of years. Ever since Marisa and Reimu were reincarnated, we haven't seen any humans coming to the demon world.

Having said that, this human seems quite powerful, but he is neither a magician nor an Onmyoji. He is somewhat similar to an exorcist, but not quite the same... Is there any profession that he has never seen in the outside world?

"Hello, my name is Xiangbei, nice to meet you." Xiangbei was the first to greet.

"Well, hello, my name is Index Humpf, nice to meet you."

Both of them greeted each other.

"Speak of it."

At this time, Shenqi spoke and asked curiously.

"That's really rare, Index, you're willing to leave the library. Did something happen?"

"Nothing much." Index poked the fried eggs on the plate with a fork. "Hmm... maybe it was just a whim? A sudden idea? Anyway, I suddenly felt like going out for a walk."

"Is that so?" said Alice.

"Today I'm planning to go to the sea with Aika. If you're interested, Index, how about coming along?"

"See the sea? I want to go, I want to go!" Shenqi's ahoge hair on his head stood up and he said hurriedly.

"That won't do, Master Shenqi." Mengzi beside her ruthlessly shattered her fantasy, "You still have a lot of things to deal with."

"But, but, I want to go see the sea with Xiaoai and Xiaoxiaoai." Shenqi felt a little aggrieved.

Alice consoled him, "Then let's go together next time. It's not like we can only see the sea once. Then we can bring Mother, Yumeko, or the succubus along."

"Okay..." What else could Shenqi say about this? She could only eat the delicious fried eggs on the plate while worrying about how to quickly finish all the tasks.

Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 80: Going to the Beach

Finally, Xiangbei, Aige, Alice, Index, and a group of maids and attendants boarded the bus to the sea after breakfast.

Yes, there are means of transportation in the Demon Realm, but unlike the fuel-powered cars in the outside world, as the origin of magic, the means of transportation here are naturally powered by magic.

The magic power of the Demon Realm is like electricity in the outside world; it exists everywhere, and magic is also indispensable in daily life. Unlike the Moon City, where people climb the technology tree, the Demon Realm can be said to be a completely different magical world, and magic-powered daily necessities can be found in every household.

Although Shenqi's personality is very eccentric, and it seems that all her strength and intelligence are concentrated in her tuft of adobo hair, and have been used up when she created the Demon Realm, she is actually very qualified to be the Lord of the Demon Realm.

At least the people of the demon world have never suffered from the hardships of war, nor have they starved due to poverty, and various magical knowledge has also become popular.

At this moment, Ai Ge was staring through the window of the bus with wide eyes, curiously looking at the world outside the window. Being able to move forward without walking was an absolutely novel experience for Ai Ge.

She had seen buses before when she played games with Kaguya at Eientei, but this was her first time riding one herself.

On the way, we saw many buildings and scenery that we had never seen before, which made the inexperienced Ai Ge feel very interesting.

Alice sat next to Ai Ge, answering Ai Ge's questions in an orderly manner and responding to Ai Ge's various exclamations.

Sometimes there are things that Alice doesn't know. After all, she has been away from the demon world for too long, and many of her memories about magic have been sealed. The unknown is extremely painful for a magician, but looking at Ai Ge beside her, Alice tells herself that this is just a trivial price.

"Alice! Alice! Look! Look!"

It is very impolite to shout in the car, especially since Ai Ge openly stepped on the chair, but the entire car had been booked long ago, so there was no need to worry about disturbing others.

However, Alice still picked up Aige and placed her on her lap, signaling her to be quiet. After all, besides the two of them, there were also Xiangbei, Index, and a group of maids in the car.

Xiangbei and Index were sitting at the rear of the car. Although they had just met for the first time, they were surprisingly able to chat with each other. They were discussing issues related to magic and spells in the back.

Looking in the direction of Ai Ge's finger, they saw several low mountains surrounded in a circle, and inside the circle was a large area of ​​dazzling light. Seeing this, Alice knew that they had arrived at their destination. The light was formed by the sunlight reflected on the sea.

"We're almost there."

"Eh?! Are we almost there yet?" Ai Ge's desire to see the sea was not so strong now. Instead, the car that could move by itself and the various scenery she saw from the car attracted her attention more.

"Your Highness, we are about to arrive at our destination." A blonde maid came over and said softly.

"Okay, I understand." Alice glanced at the maid, "Then go and get ready, Mengyue."

"Yes."

Mengyue nodded, then called the other maids and started to act with "Huanyue" who was mixed in with the maids.

……

……

“Oh… (⊙o⊙)!”

Although Alice was attracted to the sea view when she was riding the bus, she still felt very happy and a little shocked when she saw the sea for the first time.

As for the sea, it was similar to the Lake of Mist, a water area, but much, much larger. Xiangbei even took Ai Ge to fly up into the sky for a spin, allowing them to see the vast scenery of the ocean, which caused Ai Ge to exclaim again.

When talking about the Lake of Mist, Ai Ge thought of the Scarlet Devil Mansion beside the Lake of Mist. When thinking of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Ai Ge thought of Fran, Lian Lian, Qin Xin, and some other people.

However, Ai Ge did not feel lonely because she had Xiang Bei, Alice, and some new people by her side.

There were also some people from the demon world who came to the shore to see the sea and swim, but after seeing Alice and her group, they respectfully moved away, and some even went back directly.

After all, they are the royal family of the demon world, and their identities are naturally known to the people of the demon world, so respect is absolutely necessary.

"Okay, let's go swimming. There are quite a few entertainment activities at the beach, such as swimming, beach soccer, jet skis... Oh, there are also diving activities there? Not bad, worthy of being the Demon Realm."

Da Carefree brought Ai Ge back to the ground, and after changing into swimsuits and beach clothes, they started to have fun.

————The dividing line for learning to swim————

"Uh-huh..."

Looking at the two legs struggling on the swimming ring, Alice was silent for a moment, reached out and grabbed one of the feet, then lifted Ai Ge up together with the swimming ring around her waist.

"Cough cough cough... I thought... I was going to die."

After spinning it in her hands, she put the breathless Ai Ge back onto the surface of the sea. Even Alice felt speechless. How on earth did this child find the only way to kill himself while wearing a swimming ring?

The two were floating on the sea. Alice was swimming with Ai Ge, but Ai Ge obviously couldn't swim, so Alice gave her a swimming ring.

As a result, I don’t know if it was because the waves were too big today or what, but after playing for a while, Ai Ge was knocked over by a wave, and his upper body fell into the sea, while his lower body floated on the water.

"Well, it's all because of this swimming ring!"

Ai Ge angrily slapped the swimming ring on her body and said angrily: "It's all my fault. I almost drowned!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Alice held Aige's hands and said with a smile.

"Since you don't want to swim with a swimming ring, how about learning how to swim? That way, this won't happen again."

"Yeah!" Aige nodded. Although she could fly, she also wanted to float freely in the water like Alice. "I want to learn how to swim!"

"Okay, but learning to swim is like learning magic. You can't learn it all at once. Take it slow. Let's practice with this swimming ring first."

On the blue sea, Alice smiled gently and patiently taught Ai Ge how to keep balance in the water. Ai Ge also kicked the water under Alice's guidance, splashing waves of water.

The sun cast a golden glow on the sea, and the sounds of waves and seagulls could be heard. Ai Ge couldn't help but think, it would be great if this kind of life could last forever.

On the shore, Xiangbei and Index, who did not go into the sea, were building a beach fort on the beach. They seemed to be getting along very well.

On the other side, Mengyue sneaked into the room where Alice changed her clothes.

After taking a deep breath, she began to search the room.

After a while, a look of joy appeared on Mengyue's face, and she held a locked magic book in her hand...the same book that Alice always carried with her.

Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic Realm: Chapter 81: The Red Rebellion

"So, Index, you're a monster?"

On the coast, Xiangbei was trying to build the Hakurei Shrine with sand. When he heard what Index said, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"I thought you were from the demon world too."

Index was using sand to build the shape of Pandemonium. As the chief wizard of the demon world, she not only mastered ordinary magic, but also puppet magic and alchemy, so she was naturally very dexterous.

Hearing this, she nodded, but there was a hint of bitterness on her face.

"Yes, I'm not from the demon world, and theoretically, I can't be considered a monster... I'm a conceptual monster."

"A conceptual monster?"

"Hmm." Seeing Xiangbei's puzzled expression, Index said in a complicated tone, "I am a combination of humans and monsters based on the concept of 'balance'. I am a monster created by their thoughts and spirits, and the concepts they know."

"Among the monsters, I am considered an outlier. When I was born, I possessed powerful physical abilities and magical powers, as well as the ability to manipulate the concept of balance."

"However, everything is excessive. Because my physical strength is too strong, it has passively triggered my ability to manipulate balance. Strong physical strength and powerful magic cannot be achieved at the same time. Because of this ability, my physical strength and magic power are balanced... As a result, my magic power has increased at an incredible rate, but my physical strength has rapidly declined. As a result, my physical fitness is now even worse than that of the average human."

"I have powerful strength, but I don't have a body with enough strength and vitality. This has led to me, who is already an outlier among monsters, being excluded even more because of this reason. There are no monsters with low physical fitness among monsters. Even if there are, they are much stronger than humans compared to normal monsters, not weak like me."

"If it weren't for my abilities and magic, I would have been eaten by those monsters long ago... I wandered the outside world for over 300 years before I came to the Demon Realm and was taken in by Master Shenqi. I finally had a stable life."

For some reason, Index felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's the experience of wandering." Xiangbei sighed. He naturally knew Index's experience. After all, he had seen the players of Gensokyo. The surprised expression was of course fake. It was just the acting necessary to keep the topic going.

However, after hearing these words again, Xiangbei felt somewhat familiar.

"Come to think of it, I've seen someone in a similar situation to Index..."

"Oh, what kind of person is that?"

Index didn't really care about her past experience of wandering. After all, she had spent a hundred years of peace in the demon world, and the pain of the past had long been healed. When Xiangbei said that there was someone with a similar experience as her, she felt a little curious.

Xiangbei recalled: "It was a human named Yu Xingji. He was a sorcerer like me, but the difference was that he had something called "Heaven and Curse Binding", which was like a curse."

"Because of this 'Heaven and Curse Binding', Kokichi possessed an output of cursed energy that surpassed that of others, as well as the ability to manipulate cursed corpses over a vast range. However, this power also came at a cost to his body... He was born without his right arm and limbs below the knee, and he has no feeling below the waist. His skin is so fragile that even moonlight can burn it, and he experiences a constant pricking pain in every pore of his body."

"So there are people like this?"

In a sense, this man named Yukichi is even more miserable. At least Index is living a good life now.

"However, you mentioned that this curse called 'Heaven and Binding' is indeed related to my ability to balance... although it is more like an equivalent exchange of alchemical value."

Rather, it is better to say that Index saw the characteristic of equivalent exchange in alchemy, so she chose to study it, hoping to research the ultimate philosopher's stone in alchemy to heal her weak body... Although she failed to do so in the end, now she can only refine a replica of the philosopher's stone. The real philosopher's stone may be able to solve her problem, but she absolutely cannot do it now.

Xiangbei nodded, thinking that this ability of balance was quite interesting. Perhaps it could amplify his own binding ability, just like darkness amplified shadows and thus strengthened Moxu Luo.

By the way, there is an item called the Manbao Hammer in Gensokyo, which seems to be related to these things. If possible, I really want to get it back and study it later.

Xiangbei was about to say something when he suddenly saw Alice and Ai Ge coming ashore.

"What's wrong?" Xiangbei asked.

Alice helplessly pointed to the sea behind her. Looking in the direction Alice pointed, waves of sea water surged onto the shore, leaving behind white foam, erasing the footprints along the way, but the momentum of the waves became stronger and stronger.

"The tide is rising." Xiang Beiming realized.

Alice looked a little disappointed. "I was hoping to teach Aige how to swim, but she had to come up here before she even finished."

"It's okay. It's not like I can't come again."
