Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Alice watched the two people's antics with a subtle gaze, and only after they calmed down did she open her mouth to ask.

"Why are you standing outside and not going in?"

"Can't get in."

Reimu pointed to the countdown on the great barrier.

"This thing requires you to answer the question correctly to get in. There's also a time limit for answering, and if you time out or answer incorrectly, there's a penalty."

Speaking of this, Reimu shivered unexpectedly, her backside still aching faintly.

"ABC is 666."

Alice glanced at the screen and gave the answer.

When Reimu and Marisa saw her choose to answer the question, they immediately felt something was wrong. This thing was an indiscriminate attack. Just as they were about to run away, they heard the barrier say—

"Answer is correct."

Chapter 88: Checkpoint, Shameful Matters.

Five hours had passed since the incident began.

Many people were stumped by the questions on the barrier. Only a few individuals, like Alice, Yakumo Ran, Yagokoro Eirin, and others, could answer them and enter in advance.

The rest could only wait for the time on the barrier to disappear.

It's worth mentioning that Si Gu Jian Zi and Yun Jiuling from the outside were also sent over by Bai Luo using a gap.

After Bai Luo left a sentence saying "Keep it up," he disappeared without a trace.

The two were completely confused.

But based on the information they were told upon meeting, that the reward for passing was a one-day command scroll, they deduced that this was something similar to a challenge or trial.

After some exploration.

The two discovered the question on the barrier.

Although Si Gu Jian Zi had good grades, as only a high school student, she couldn't help but stare blankly at the question above.

Fortunately, Yun Jiuling, as a teacher, wasn't necessarily an expert at these questions, but at least solving them was quite easy for her.

...

Inside the barrier was another world.

As soon as everyone who successfully solved the question stepped inside, they were surprised to find the environment suddenly changed.

This was not the courtyard seen from the outside, but a long passage. The walls on both sides of the passage and the ceiling were made of a blue, semi-transparent liquid.

Marisa reached out and touched it. It was soft, like a Slime.

She looked around and found that the front was also blocked by such a wall not far away.

Seeing this, Marisa clenched her fist and punched the wall on the right.

"Wait a minute!"

Alice quickly shouted.

"Bang—!"

The sound of a fist hitting the wall rang out, Marisa's delicate little face immediately twisted, and she squatted on the ground holding her arm, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Wuwu ah... Hiss—it hurts so much!"

"Didn't I tell you to wait a minute?"

Alice squatted down helplessly, picked up Marisa's hand, and used healing magic.

"The walls here have been enchanted. They become stronger when met with force. In their normal state, they are soft, but the more force you apply to them, the harder they become."

As the green light covered her hand, her skin and flesh quickly grew back, and Marisa's twisted face eased somewhat, but she was still teary-eyed.

Reimu felt a wave of relief upon seeing this. She had also had the thought of punching it just now, but fortunately, Marisa beat her to it before she could.

After healing Marisa, Alice stood up and also came to the wall, pressing her palm against it.

"Even if this wall is forcibly destroyed, it will instantly repair itself. The correct path won't be on the left or right sides."

After speaking, she walked forward along the corridor.

"But there's no path ahead either."

Marisa muttered, but still followed Alice forward.

Reimu followed closely behind.

Although she didn't trust Marisa, Alice was quite smart, so following her was definitely the right choice.

The three came to the wall directly in front.

No matter how Marisa looked at it, this wall was similar to the ones on the left and right sides. It was also blue and transparent, and it became harder as more force was applied.

But suddenly, the center of this wall, like a barrier, displayed lines of text.

[Please state something that you feel most ashamed of in the past five months, something that cannot be told to others]

"???"

Question marks popped up above the heads of all three simultaneously.

It was already very clear that as long as they completed the task as required, they could pass.

This seemed simple, but was actually extremely difficult.

Since they were all secrets that were too shameful to speak of and could not be told to others, they naturally didn't want anyone else to know.

If it were just one of them, it would be fine, but with other people around...

Marisa and Alice fell silent, only Reimu appeared calm and composed.

"How about... we decide with rock-paper-scissors?"

Marisa weakly raised her hand and suggested.

"Okay."

"I agree."

Both expressed their agreement.

After a round of rock-paper-scissors.

Marisa lost without any suspense.

"Marisa, keep it up. We will remember your sacrifice."

"Mhm, keep it up."

With the encouragement of the two, Marisa finally gritted her teeth and accepted this task, but still stubbornly pointed behind her.

"You guys turn around, no listening!"

"Don't worry, we won't listen."

Reimu turned around.

Alice patted Marisa's shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll set up a soundproof barrier for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a magic circle enveloped Marisa.

Seeing this scene, Marisa's resistance lessened slightly. After taking a deep breath, she quietly spoke about that shameful matter.

What she didn't notice was that as she spoke about this matter, Alice and Reimu's pupils slightly constricted, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Moreover, it wasn't just them; even Bai Luo, who was far away in the Happy Hut, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the content, and his little face immediately turned red.

This checkpoint was just something he set up casually back then, and he didn't expect to hear such explosive news, especially news about himself.

"Hoo~"

Her delicate little face was slightly flushed. The magic barrier was removed, and Marisa let out a breath. When she looked back, she saw that the two people's faces were red.

"Why are your faces so red!"

Marisa keenly sensed that something was wrong and grumbled discontentedly.

"Were you guys eavesdropping!"

Thinking of this, even the usually carefree Marisa couldn't help but feel ashamed and wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Not only her face, but even the roots of her ears turned pink.

"No! It's simply because the space here is too small, the oxygen is thin, and it's too stuffy."

Reimu said righteously.

Marisa looked around suspiciously. It was indeed a bit small here, but was it really that stuffy?

Her gaze fell on Alice. Alice pretended to be calm, but still didn't dare to look directly at her.

"Were you guys eavesdropping just now?"

Alice was speechless for a moment, her inner conscience kept pointing at her nose and scolding her.

"I..."

"Of course we weren't eavesdropping!"

Reimu interrupted, patted Alice's shoulder, and blinked frantically.

"Mhm, we weren't eavesdropping."

In the end, her conscience was defeated. From this day on, Alice was officially assimilated by this unscrupulous Fantasy Land.

Marisa was still quite trusting of Alice, who was known as an "honest person." She patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. If this matter were known by others, she might as well smash her head against a Slime wall and die.

However, Marisa turned her head to look at the wall and found that it was still there.

"Gulp..."

Alice and Reimu also noticed this situation, swallowed, and an unpleasant guess emerged in their hearts.

As expected, after a while, the wall still hadn't changed. The only change was that the number 1/3 appeared next to the question.

Their hearts instantly sank.

The meaning was already very clear. Each of the three of them needed to answer a question.

Not good, very not good!

The two exchanged glances. Their previous smiles had disappeared, replaced by sorrow.

However, the smiles hadn't truly disappeared; they had simply transferred to Marisa.

She put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly: "Wahahaha! It's your turn now, hurry up and tell us your unspeakable secrets!"

Chapter 89: Foodie Checkpoint, Honesty Checkpoint.

"You guys are going too far!"

Marisa covered her head, her eyes teary. Was this a world where only she was injured?

"Who told you to be so smug."

Reimu glanced at her, and then, under the astonished gazes of the two, quickly formed hand seals. Spiritual energy surged, and complex barriers instantly formed, completely isolating her from the two.

Alice watched Reimu desperately trying to isolate the sound, her expression subtle.

Marisa tentatively approached the barrier and found that she indeed couldn't hear any sound. Even the scene inside the barrier became blurred.

Soon, the barrier was removed. Reimu completed the task, and the number changed from 1/3 to 2/3.

"It's your turn. Do you need me to put up a barrier for you? One silver coin is enough."

Reimu asked, rubbing her little hands.

"No need to trouble yourself."

Alice shook her head, naturally not because she was stingy with money.
