Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Marisa's pretty face was blank, not understanding why everyone was looking at her like that. Three seconds later, she finally reacted, her face flushing red, even her earlobes turning pink.

"No, what are you thinking about! I'm talking about the Magic Cannon! The Magic Cannon!"

"Didn't I blast his house with a Magic Cannon? Isn't it only natural for him to shoot one back?"

Marisa explained rapidly; even if the other party wasn't bad-looking, she couldn't be so casual, okay?

In the end, Bai Luo didn't make things difficult for Marisa, only asking her to come and help him rebuild the house, which moved Marisa greatly.

It's worth mentioning that Reimu also volunteered, perhaps out of a conscience called friendship, or perhaps because the gold coins were too dazzling.

Arriving at the site, they looked at the ruins only a hundred paces away from the Sunflower Field and couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"What exactly is your relationship with Kazami Yuuka?"

Reimu couldn't help but ask what she had been curious about for a long time. Marisa also leaned in, pricked up her ears, her eyes shining with gossip.

"I don't know her."

"Huh?"

"Huh!?"

Both were stunned. Reimu rubbed her ears in disbelief and said:

"You said you don't know Kazami Yuuka? You don't know her and you built your house here? Do you know how terrifying she is?"

Bai Luo put on a serious expression: "Not knowing is not knowing, but there's an old saying in my hometown—the most dangerous place is the safest."

Hearing this, Reimu and Marisa choked, unsure how to react for a moment. In the end, Reimu spoke first. She said:

"Anyway, the house has collapsed. It's a good time to build the house near the Hakurei Shrine. You can stay at the Hakurei Shrine during this time."

"No need, it's too much trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble. Our Hakurei Shrine has plenty of guest rooms. No need to be so polite."

Is this girl still Reimu?

Marisa looked at Reimu's enthusiastic smiling face and shivered suddenly. How did this girl feel like she had changed into a different person?

"Really no need." Bai Luo refused again.

"Hmm..." Reimu was full of regret but still unwilling to give up. "This Hakurei Shrine also takes on bodyguard business."

"Can you defeat Kazami Yuuka?"

"Uh... no."

"If you can't, what's the use of this service?"

"Hmm... then you have nowhere to stay while building the house, right? You can also come to the Hakurei Shrine to stay temporarily. The price is absolutely fair."

Hearing this, Bai Luo didn't reply but rolled his eyes at her. He could tell this girl was purely treating him as a rich person to fleece.

"Stop thinking about it. I have a place to stay, and there's also a beautiful nine-tailed fox girl serving me over there."

Chapter Fourteen: The Miko Miss Is Also At The Corresponding Age.

A nine-tailed fox?

Reimu was startled, exchanged a glance with Marisa, and saw the same look of confusion in the other's eyes.

If they remembered correctly, there was only one nine-tailed fox in Fantasy Land.

Reimu asked in disbelief:

"What is your relationship with Yakumo Ran?"

Bai Luo fell into thought, pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"I guess I'm considered someone from the Yakumo Residence. That guy only told me at the time that I would be part of the Yakumo Residence from then on, and that was it."

Hearing this, Reimu's silver teeth felt sour, and a large "danger" character flashed in her eyes. But seeing Bai Luo's seemingly ignorant look, she slightly relaxed.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing Reimu's expression wasn't right, Bai Luo asked suspiciously, a faint bad premonition in his heart. As expected—

Reimu looked up, her eyes distant:

"It's nothing. Yakumo Yukari told me a few days ago that my mother arranged a fiancé for me years ago, who was the Little Master of her Yakumo Residence. I thought she was joking at the time."

"Fiancé!?" Marisa's eyes sparkled with gossip, her gaze darting back and forth between Reimu and Bai Luo.

"Don't mind that guy. Nowadays, it's about free love and mutual attraction. We don't play by the rules of parental arrangement and matchmakers."

Bai Luo quickly raised his hand in an 'X' shape, "Besides, you definitely wouldn't want it, right?"

Reimu didn't respond immediately. At first, she was indeed unwilling.

But suddenly, she remembered something Yakumo Yukari had said: "As long as you get married, I'll give you a golden donation box as a dowry!"

She glanced at Bai Luo's handsome profile, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally concluded—it was a profit!

Thinking of the golden donation box she was about to own, Reimu's expression became increasingly excited.

Bai Luo silently took two steps back, his gaze towards Reimu was very subtle. Are Miko this casual nowadays?

"No way, no way!"

Bai Luo quickly shook his head, his expression serious, "You're still too young, it's not suitable."

Hearing this, Reimu's expression was strange. She looked Bai Luo up and down, then gestured between the two of them with her hand, as if saying—Are you serious about that?

"Thump thump!"

"Hiss~ What are you doing!"

Reimu covered her head and squatted on the ground. Marisa beside her was the same, hissing in pain with tears in her eyes.

"Sorry, I hit it unconsciously."

Bai Luo withdrew his hand and apologized, but there was no trace of guilt in his eyes. He just felt like they were thinking something impolite just now.

Compared to Reimu, who was in the wrong and dared not speak, Marisa looked wronged and pitiful, truly getting shot while just watching from the side.

In the end, under Bai Luo's firm resistance, Reimu had no choice but to give up the idea of marrying into a wealthy family, regrettably pouting.

The three began the reconstruction project.

With the experience of the first construction, Bai Luo built the new house much more smoothly, and with the addition of Reimu and Marisa, the speed was much faster than before.

The three focused intently and cooperated with each other.

The clear blue sky gradually turned into a brilliant golden yellow. As the sun set in the west, the outline of the house was already faintly visible.

Night fell, wisps of cooking smoke rose, and the air was filled with an enticing aroma.

In the temporarily built kitchen, Bai Luo quickly stir-fried the dishes in his hand, his movements skilled.

After plating each dish, he added a few more stir-fries, finally placing them on a tray, carrying them out of the kitchen, and putting them on the table.

"You can eat."

The childish voice was full of helplessness. Bai Luo pulled out a chair and sat down.

Just now, he had symbolically invited the two to eat, but unexpectedly, they not only agreed without the slightest hesitation but also casually listed the names of the dishes they wanted.

Hearing this, the two who had been eagerly waiting were like wild horses unleashed, picking up their chopsticks one after another. Just by the aroma, they knew the taste would definitely be good.

"Delicious!"

Reimu was the first to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth, holding her chopsticks, then exclaimed in praise.

"Mm-hmm, it's really delicious!" Marisa echoed.

"Slow down, I cooked a lot."

Watching them eat like a whirlwind, Bai Luo was a little dumbfounded and started eating too.

In the previous world, there was no concept of magic. Skills like cooking, he had maxed out. Even if he couldn't compare to the Great Sage, he could still be called a God of Cooking.

"Whoever manages to trick you into their home in the future will make a huge profit."

Chewing, Reimu sighed indistinctly, making Bai Luo almost choke.

What does she mean 'trick him into their home', and what does she mean 'make a huge profit'?

After observing Reimu, who was focused on eating, Bai Luo sighed gloomily, only able to completely take this girl's words as praise for himself.

After eating their fill, they each returned home.

The Happy Hut hadn't been rebuilt yet, at least not fit for living in for now. Bai Luo could only return to the Yakumo Residence.

He tiptoed past Yakumo Yukari's room and came all the way to the main hall.

The girl sat on the tatami mat, her fox ears drooped, and her nine golden tails swayed slightly, as if she was troubled.

"Ran, are you in a bad mood?"

The familiar childish voice startled Yakumo Ran. She turned her head and saw Bai Luo standing behind her.

Without waiting for her to speak, Bai Luo leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Looking so glum isn't good. You'll end up like a certain old geezer."

Her fox ears shot straight up in fright. Yakumo Ran glanced around nervously, and only after confirming there was nothing unusual did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting her index finger to her lips, she shushed him and whispered:

"Mind your words, Young Master Bai."

"That guy can't be that idle, peeping on others all day, can he?" Bai Luo was puzzled.

Yakumo Ran forced a smile and didn't reply.

"Ran, you probably haven't eaten dinner yet, right?"

Bai Luo asked abruptly. Yakumo Ran didn't understand why, but still nodded. The next moment—

A lunchbox appeared in Bai Luo's hand, filled with fragrant dishes. He smiled gleefully, looking triumphant:

"I knew you hadn't eaten dinner, so I specifically made an extra portion, and there's fried tofu, which you like."

The lunchbox was steaming, and the tempting aroma wafted into her nostrils, scattering a lot of the gloom in her heart.

Raising her eyes, she saw the small face that was childish but bore a sunny smile. Yakumo Ran suddenly felt that her Zi Daren tricking Young Master Bai back home was truly a wise move.

As she thought, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried tofu, and put it in her mouth—the tofu melted in her mouth, the aroma was fragrant, it was extremely delicious, much tastier than ever before.

"Why did you suddenly come back tonight? Are you looking for me for something?" Yakumo Ran asked while eating.

In her opinion, Bai Luo could only have come back to find her. It couldn't possibly be to find Yakumo Yukari, right?

In Yakumo Ran's opinion, Bai Luo could only have come back to find her. It couldn't possibly be to find Yakumo Yukari, right?

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Bai Luo's face stopped and turned into sadness.

"Huh?"

She was stunned. After reacting, her heart tightened, the chopsticks in her hand paused, and she quickly asked:

"Young Master Bai, did something happen? Or did Ran say something wrong?"

Bai Luo was sad for a moment, then slowly recounted what had happened today.

When she first heard that the house was destroyed, Yakumo Ran was already ready to go out for revenge. But after hearing the whole process, she didn't know how to react and could only gently stroke his head with her tail, softly comforting him:

"Out with the old, in with the new. After this reconstruction, it might be even better than before. Ran will come help tomorrow too."

Knowing it was Marisa's fault didn't surprise Yakumo Ran much, but Reimu actually volunteering to help was rare. This was like seeing Zi Daren maintaining the great barrier early in the morning.

Yakumo Ran lowered her head, twitched her fox ears, and speculated on three possibilities.

1. Reimu was an accomplice and volunteered out of guilt.

2. Money, driven by the power brought by money.

As for the third type—

Yakumo Ran raised her head, looked Bai Luo up and down, a hint of pensiveness in her peach-colored eyes, and then nodded to herself.

"Indeed, Reimu is also at the corresponding age."
