Traveling through Gensokyo, but the system is Jujutsu Kaisen?

Fortunately, she had successfully caught the fish, which gave Aige some comfort. She turned her head and looked at the mermaid in Xiangbei's arms...

Ok?

Aige looked at the creature in Xiangbei's arms, whose lower body was a fish and the upper body was a human, in shock and rubbed her eyes.

The upper body of the mermaid in Xiangbei's arms looks like a cute girl, with short blue hair and fish fin-like things on her ears. She wears a simple green dress with white satin ribbons, and her lower body is a fish tail so smooth that no scales can be seen.

By the way, the mermaid still had half of the bread in her mouth, and she looked a little confused because she was caught on the shore.

"This... this is...!" Aige exclaimed.

"Yes."

He nodded to the north to confirm.

"It's a mermaid, Aige."

"Wow--"

Ai Ge had seen monsters, witches, magicians, and even the God of Creation, but she had never seen mermaids, who had always appeared in fairy tales and games.

In the past, in order to find the mermaid, she took her friends to fly over the Mist Lake to look for her. However, although they could fly, they could not swim. One of the vampires was even afraid of water, let alone diving into the lake to look for the mermaid, so they gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, Ai Ge actually caught a mermaid today. How could she not be happy? How could she not be excited?

But before that, there is one more thing.

"By the way, can mermaids be eaten?" Ai Ge touched the mermaid's tail curiously and looked up to ask Xiang Bei.

"Well--!"

Ruo Lu Ji in his arms opened her eyes wide in fear, twisted her body desperately, and made "Mmm" sounds from her mouth, but because her mouth was full of bread, she couldn't speak.

"I'm not sure, after all, I haven't eaten it..." Xiangbei was also thinking about it, and his hands holding Ruolu Ji were like iron clamps, not moving at all.

"But I seem to remember a rumor that eating mermaid flesh can allow one to live to 800 years old... Since there's such a rumor, mermaid flesh should be edible."

"Woo...Woo..."

Listening to the not-so-nice words between the two, Ruo Lu Ji burst into tears and a cry of grief sounded in her heart.

Help! Someone is killing fish!

Chi Manqi! Shadow Wolf! I'm going to be taken home by these two and cooked into a dish! No matter who it is, please save me!

Ruo Lu Ji twisted her body hard, and her fish tail turned like a propeller, trying to escape from Xiang Bei's two hands, but it was not easy.

Feeling that Ruo Lu Ji was jumping around too much, Xiang Bei changed his way of catching the fish - just like catching an ordinary fish, he grabbed Ruo Lu Ji's tail with one hand and lifted her up. This could also prevent her from moving around or hitting Ai Ge with the tail again.

"Oh...will that taste good?"

Ai Ge didn't care about the rumor that eating mermaid flesh could make one live to 800 years old. After all, she didn't know much about lifespan. Rather than whether eating it could prolong life, she cared more about whether the mermaid dish tasted good.

"I don't know, but if it's cooked properly, it should be delicious."

Counting on his fingers, Xiangbei recalled various ways of cooking fish.

"Steamed fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, pickled fish, grilled fish, boiled fish... For such a big fish, there must be a way to cook it that suits her."

Every time she heard how a different fish was cooked, Ruo Lu Ji's body trembled slightly, and big tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground.

Marula, Manqi, Yinglang, I'm leaving first... I hope these two can give me a quick death when they cook me into a dish.

If possible, please cook it more deliciously. I still hope that my body will taste better than other fish when cooked.

The joke was almost over, and seeing Ruo Lu Ji looking like she was letting him do whatever he wanted, he raised his hand to the north and spoke.

"Well, it was just a joke. Eating mermaid meat can prolong life, after all, it's just a rumor. I don't know what mermaid meat tastes like, so let's just put her back."

"Ah————" Aige let out a dissatisfied cry.

"But I finally fished her out!"

At this moment, Ruo Lu Ji finally swallowed the bread in her mouth. Seeing that she still had a chance of survival, she shouted desperately.

"I, I have a treasure! I can give it to you! As long as you can let me go!"

"Oh hoo, baby?"

When she heard the word "baby", Ai Ge became excited.

"Then just hand over the treasure. If you can satisfy me, I can let you go..."

"But, but." Ruo Lu Ji stammered, "I have hidden all my treasures in a cave under the water. Only if you let me go can I go and get my treasures."

"Oh, is that so?"

Aige scratched her head, unsure what to do for a moment, and could only look towards the north.

"It's okay, let her go."

Xiangbei didn't mind: "If she doesn't come back, I'll just drain the lake and fish her out."

Under pressure from Xiangbei, Ruo Lu Ji did not dare to delay for a moment after being released back into the Mist Lake, and went straight to her secret cave.

Soon, Ruolu Ji returned to the shore with her treasures.

However, these treasures were not what Xiangbei had imagined, such as various gold and silver treasures, or special props... They were just some small stones with strange shapes or beautiful patterns.

That’s right, the mermaid’s treasures are these small stones she found on the shore and in the water.

But Ai Ge seemed to like it very much.

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 190: My House is Pretty Big

Flat stones found on the shore, perfect for skipping stones; smooth pebbles, eroded by the water for so long that they've become rounded rather than oval; patterned stones with beautifully colored patterns on their surfaces; and crystal stones with crystals hidden within that reflect dazzling light in the sun...

These stones may be worthless in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of children, these stones are treasures comparable to gold, silver and other treasures.

"Wow! What a beautiful stone..."

Ai Ge's eyes were sparkling with stars as she picked and chose from the pile of stones that Ruo Lu Ji brought back, and from time to time she picked up a stone and admired it in the sunlight.

"Where did you find all this?"

As a child, Aige also liked to collect these strange things, such as branches shaped like swords and stones with strange shapes. However, in terms of the number of stones collected, the amount in Aige's possession was far less than the stone reserves collected by Ruoluji over the past hundreds of years.

"Hehe, yes, some of these I found on the shore, but most of them I found at the bottom of the lake."

Except for children, basically no one or monster has a hobby like collecting stones. Ruo Lu Ji, who lives in the lake all year round, naturally has no chance of seeing any children, and none of the monsters she knows are interested in it.

Now that she had finally met a kindred spirit, Ruoluji had forgotten about the incident of being almost caught by the two men and cooked, and began to show off the stone in her hand with great interest.

"Look at this stone again. It's transparent. It will reflect beautiful light under the sunlight." As she spoke, Ruo Lu Ji placed it under the sunlight. A rainbow was reflected from the almost transparent stone and reflected on the water.

"Ohhh!⊙▽⊙" Ai Ge was shocked by the beautiful rainbow.

"Can you give this to me?"

"Sure, I still have a lot left!"

Ruo Lu Ji gave them away generously. After all, what she said was true. As a mermaid who had lived in the Mist Lake for such a long time, she must have collected a considerable number of rare stones. She would not feel bad about giving some of them to her soulmate (?).

"Thanks."

Aige took the stone handed to her by Ruoluji, held it in the sunlight for a while, reflecting the light of the rainbow. She admired it for a while, and then reluctantly put it into the small backpack she carried with her.

what to do……

Ai Ge was very conflicted.

She wants all these stones.

But seeing Ruo Lu Ji's excited face, if he made this request, she would definitely give it to him out of the risk of being eaten, but that would be a bit of a letdown...

After all, she had never intended to eat Ruo Lu Ji. She couldn't accept the idea of ​​eating a fish that looked like a human... Although she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when Xiang Bei gave her so many examples of how to cook fish.

So what should I do... act like a spoiled child? Ask Ruoluji to give her the stones? But that would be a bit rude on their first meeting. Asking Xiangbei to take all the stones? Would that be too much?

Just as Ai Ge was thinking hard, the fish in the wooden barrel beside her suddenly flapped its wings, as if it wanted to jump out of the barrel and back into the lake. However, the height of the jump was not high enough, and it fell back into the barrel as soon as it jumped out of the barrel, splashing water.

The noise was not loud, but it attracted the attention of several people present, especially Ruo Lu Ji. When she saw the fish in the bucket, she seemed to think of her own situation and her face turned pale.

Then she seemed to have thought of something, and she held all the pebbles she had brought up in her hands and handed them carefully to Ai Ge.

"Well, if I give you all these pebbles, can I release the fish as well? After all, I've seen them a few times, so if it's okay..."

Hearing this, Ai Ge's eyes lit up, but she did not agree immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Xiang Bei, because most of these fish were caught by Xiang Bei, and she could only give them to him if Xiang Bei agreed.

He nodded to the north, indicating that he had no objection.

When it comes to fishing, the most important thing is to have fun. If you can harvest something more precious than fish at the last moment, why not use it for exchange?

Seeing Xiangbei agreed, Aige also agreed to Ruolu Ji's request. Ruolu Ji was overjoyed and gave all the stones to Aige. Xiangbei released all the fish back into the lake.

Aige obtained the precious stone, Ruoluji saved the lives of half of her compatriots, and as for Xiangbei? Experiencing such a life full of daily atmosphere already made him feel satisfied.

Counting the stones he had obtained, Ai Ge put them into his small backpack with satisfaction, adding some more to his collection.

"It's a good harvest." Xiangbei said.

"Well! It's a pity that I couldn't eat fish." Perhaps it was because of the various ways to cook fish that Xiangbei had told me before that made Ai Ge feel a little regretful about not being able to eat fish.

"There will be a chance in the future. You can ask Alice to do it for you."

"Yes."

Thinking of this, the mustard in Ai Ge's heart disappeared. She clapped her hands, smiled and walked in front of Xiang Bei with the fishing rod.

"Then let's go home."

"Well, it's time to go home."

Telling stories, fishing, and meeting Rukaluji, it's almost time for dinner at Alice's house. If I don't go back now... it shouldn't matter, but Lilith will definitely complain, and then I can't avoid being scolded by Alice.

"But, are you planning to go back like this?" Xiangbei looked at the clothes on Aige and reminded her kindly.

"Huh?" Aige was puzzled. She looked down and saw her clothes covered in mud. She raised her head with a pale face.

"Save me, Xiangbei! If I go back like this, I'll definitely get spanked by Alice!"

"Oh, that's easy." Xiangbei held Ai Ge, who threw herself into his arms like a spoiled child seeking help. He didn't care about the dirt on her body, but carefully wiped the dirt off her face.

"Come to my house. You can take a shower first and I'll help you wash your clothes."

……

……

Shocking! A man brought a little girl home and did this—

If one day a dog captured the scene of Xiangbei bringing Aige back to his home, the title of the Wenwen News in Gensokyo Tomorrow would probably be this.

Unfortunately, with Xiangbei's perception ability, this kind of thing basically will not happen, so there is no if.

Wow…

The sound of water coming from the bathroom came from Xiangbei, who was holding a basket filled with the clothes that Aige had taken off.

Don't get me wrong, Xiangbei doesn't want to do anything to Aige's clothes... He's not a pervert, I reiterate, he's not a pervert.

Who would get horny over children's underwear? It's just some fabric, what's there to get horny about?

But getting clothes washed and dried quickly enough to be wearable does require some unconventional methods.

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 191: The Secret God is Watching You

First up is laundry.

Xiangbei has two types of techniques for controlling water. One is the technique bestowed by the Shikigami "Man Xiang" among the ten shadow techniques, and the other is the technique bestowed by the special-grade natural disaster curse spirit "Togen".

However, there are still certain differences in the performance of these two techniques in terms of water manipulation. In the end, Xiangbei chose the technique of Tuogen to manipulate water.

He created a water ball with a diameter of one meter out of thin air, let it float in the room, threw Ai Ge's clothes into it, and then controlled the water ball to fly and rotate to wash the clothes.

The clothes were not very dirty, just stained with some mud. After controlling the water ball to wash for a while, all the stains on the clothes were removed.

Then spin dry.

This was not a problem for Xiangbei. After pouring the water outside the house, he used the smallest movement and extreme micro-manipulation to shake off the water on the clothes without damaging them.

The last step is drying.

Xiangbei also has two techniques for manipulating fire... theoretically, there are three, one is Sukuna's fire technique, one is Louhu's fire technique, and one is Zenin Maki's father's fire addition?
