Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Kazami Yuuka didn't think much after hearing this, she gently shook her head, turned towards the kitchen, and calmly said, "He won't break his promise, and I won't let a tragedy unfold."

Her voice was flat and unremarkable, as if she was stating a simple fact.

Chapter 41: Can't Think of a Title

Alice looked at Bai Luo, then at Kazami Yuuka, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "I won't be staying here for the next few days. I'm going to help Shanghai and Penglai build a new house together."

Kazami Yuuka didn't think much of it either, she nodded. With Alice's strength, as long as she didn't encounter those old guys, self-preservation wouldn't be a problem.

"If you encounter any problems, you can come back to me anytime."

After a final instruction, Kazami Yuuka didn't continue the topic. Meanwhile, Bai Luo, who was still sulking, heard about Alice building a new house and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:

"Where are you building your house? Is it far from the Sunflower Field?"

"Not far, it's in the Magic Forest. No one usually goes there, it's quieter."

Magic Forest?

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment. Wouldn't that make her neighbors with Marisa?

Thinking of this, he said, "I'll go help too. Marisa also lives in the Magic Forest, you'll be neighbors. I'll call her over to help too."

"Marisa? Does she also live in the Magic Forest? What kind of person is she?"

Alice's question stumped Bai Luo. After deliberating on his words, he slowly said, "She's very lively, seems full of energy, usually likes to visit various forces, and 'borrows' some things along the way."

Bai Luo had tried his best to make Marisa's image as good as possible in front of her new neighbor.

He couldn't possibly tell Alice directly—

Marisa is especially prone to causing trouble, she's careless, likes to sneak into various forces without an invitation, and when she sees something she likes, she just takes it, leaving behind a line like: "Anyway, I'll only live for a few decades at most, consider these things borrowed. When I die, you can come and get them yourselves."

Thinking of this, Bai Luo's little face became even more melancholic. He looked up and earnestly requested, "From now on, please take care of Marisa."

...No need to be so polite, I'm the one who should be requesting. I'm new here and definitely not as familiar with Fantasy Land as Miss Marisa. I should be asking her to take care of me."

Alice quickly waved her hand, responding politely.

In response, Bai Luo could only smile politely.

"When are you going to the Magic Forest? Now? If it's now, I'll go back and get some tools needed for building the house, and call Marisa along the way."

Alice nodded, her gaze falling on the direction of the Magic Forest. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Let's talk about it this afternoon. Thank you for breakfast, Bai Luo. For lunch, you can try my cooking."

"Then I'll trouble you for lunch. I'll go back and prepare."

Alice was about to reply, but in the blink of an eye, Bai Luo's figure had vanished without a trace.

...

Bai Luo returned to the Happy Hut. Yesterday it was a mess, and although it hasn't fully returned to its original state, it's much better now.

Two figures were moving around inside, looking particularly busy.

They actually weren't slacking off? Bai Luo blinked, finding it hard to believe.

He walked up to the two of them and took out the prepared food: "Stop for a moment, don't be busy. You haven't eaten yet, right?"

The two girls looked up at the same time, their faces showing surprise. They ran over and eagerly took the lunch from Bai Luo.

"It's that familiar taste again! So good!" Reimu said indistinctly while eating.

"Mhm, delicious! I want to eat more after I finish, it feels bad not to eat." Marisa nodded in agreement.

Their strange descriptions made Bai Luo's teeth hurt, unsure of what to say.

After a helpless sigh, he stated his purpose: "You don't need to build here temporarily this afternoon. Go help my friend build a house."

The two of them were stunned for a moment. Bai Luo added, "Her name is Alice, she came from the Demon World and recently moved to Fantasy Land. Her house is being built in the Magic Forest, and you'll be neighbors, Marisa."

"She also lives in the Magic Forest!?"

Hearing this, Marisa's delicate little face immediately lit up with excitement. Living alone for too long, having another neighbor would definitely be interesting!

Compared to Marisa's excitement, Reimu seemed much calmer. She was usually the type who wouldn't move if she didn't have to. Helping Bai Luo rebuild his house, she didn't mind, but someone else...

"It's April now, and my allowance is almost here. Next time I go to the Hakurei Shrine, I'll give a bit more offering."

"I will go through fire and water, without hesitation. Don't worry, your friend's house is entrusted to me, I guarantee I'll make it beautiful!"

Almost the moment the words fell, Reimu smoothly flashed in front of Bai Luo. The worry on her face was swept away, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

She rubbed her hands, her eyes sparkling, as if seeing coin after coin entering the offering box.

...

After dealing with the two little ones, Bai Luo returned to the Dream House. More than an hour had passed, and lunch was just ready.

Seeing Bai Luo suddenly appear without warning again, Alice finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "How did you do that? How did you disappear in the blink of an eye and come back in the blink of an eye?"

"It's nothing."

Bai Luo said casually. With a flash of purple light, he was already sitting at the table: "It's just the ability to teleport, not strong, not strong, just a tiny bit better than that Yakumo Yukari's gap."

Like a peacock spreading its tail, he proudly raised his head.

Seeing Bai Luo's obvious look of "Praise me, praise me," Alice smiled and obediently praised, "That's amazing. I didn't notice at all how you disappeared or when you arrived."

Even with Yakumo Yukari's gap, if you are strong enough, you can sense the aura beforehand, but with Bai Luo's, you can only rely on intuition or on-the-spot reaction.

...

After finishing lunch, the two went straight to the Magic Forest.

The terrain of the Magic Forest is complex, especially in the depths, which are shrouded in mist year-round.

However, when Bai Luo arrived at the area where Alice was building her house, he found that there was no mist at all.

Streaks of sunlight poured down from the sky, passing through the treetops and illuminating the area. Fresh air blew in their faces, like a human paradise.

As if seeing Bai Luo's confusion, Alice explained, "I set up a magic array above that can block the mist and let the sunlight in."

Hearing this, Bai Luo looked up and indeed saw a thin magic array.

The house was not yet built, only a simple foundation had been laid.

Looking around, hundreds of exquisite dolls were moving back and forth, as if alive, working in an orderly manner.

Some were cutting wood, some were transporting materials, and others were hammering away.

Chapter 42: Great Sage: Please Stay Away From Me

"Are you controlling all these dolls?"

Bai Luo looked at these busy figures, his golden eyes sparkling with an unconcealed interest.

Although he had already learned from the Great Sage that Alice was skilled at controlling dolls with magic and could control many at the same time, seeing it with his own eyes still made him incredibly shocked.

Alice looked up, the golden hair hanging down her cheeks swaying gently with her movements. She chuckled and said, "I really like dolls, they make me feel safe and happy."

At this point, she paused slightly, "However, there are two special dolls that I don't control, they have their own consciousness."

Bai Luo became interested and followed Alice's gaze, seeing two figures, one red and one blue.

At the same time, they also saw Bai Luo and Alice, and ran over eagerly.

"Shanghai, Penglai, you guys are..."

Alice's voice stopped abruptly. Looking at the two little ones who ran past her, stopped in front of Bai Luo, surrounded him on the left and right, examining him and even touching and smelling him, her eyebrows immediately darkened.

"You two, come here!"

A sudden fierce shout made the two little ones tremble. They immediately stopped what they were doing and tremblingly came to Alice.

"What's wrong with you today! How can you be so impolite! Do you know..."

Alice sternly reprimanded them, causing Shanghai and Penglai to lower their heads and stare at their toes, not daring to look up at all.

Looking at their wronged expressions, Bai Luo found it amusing.

"Don't scold them, I don't mind."

After saying that, he stepped forward and couldn't help but poke their arms. The feel was no different from a real person, except that it was cold and had no temperature.

"Are they really dolls?"

Alice nodded: "Shanghai and Penglai are dolls. Unlike other dolls that I need to control with magic threads, these two have self-awareness."

At this point, Alice's expression was a little dim, and she clenched her fingers a little:

"But I can only give them consciousness, and I can't even let them speak."

Her voice was full of apology, clearly feeling guilty for creating Shanghai and Penglai but not being able to make them complete.

"That's already amazing."

Bai Luo comforted her, his gaze falling on Shanghai and Penglai who were trying to comfort their owner. He smiled and continued:

"And, I think Shanghai and Penglai don't mind. For them, being able to stay by your side, Alice, is already the best thing."

Shanghai and Penglai seemed to agree with this statement, nodding repeatedly as if pounding garlic.

"Thank you."

This sentence was meant for both Bai Luo and Shanghai and Penglai.

The gloom in her azure eyes gradually faded, and Alice said softly, her voice firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you complete, no different from ordinary people."

"Huh? So many people?"

Suddenly, an energetic voice rang out, and then Marisa quickly ran towards them, excitement written all over her delicate little face.

Since she moved to the Magic Forest, this was the first time it had been so lively.

"Why are you running so fast! I almost got lost."

Behind her, Reimu chased after her, breathing heavily, and glared at Marisa in dissatisfaction.

Marisa scratched her head and chuckled, "Sorry, sorry."

"How did you find this place? I was just about to bring you over."

Bai Luo asked in confusion. He himself had just arrived here with Alice leading the way, not to mention telling them the location beforehand.

Marisa looked proud: "That's not simple, there are only a few places suitable for building houses here. If you look through all of them, won't you know?"

Okay.

Bai Luo had forgotten that Marisa had lived in the Magic Forest for so long, she could probably walk out with her eyes closed, let alone find a house within it.

Bai Luo came to Marisa's side and said to Alice:

"Let me introduce you. This is Marisa, the one I mentioned before who also lives in the Magic Forest."

"The other one is Hakurei Reimu, the miko of the Hakurei Shrine."

After Bai Luo briefly introduced the two of them, Alice also extended her hand to Marisa, who was closest to her, and said softly, "Hello, I'm Alice. Please take care of me from now on."

Marisa's heart inexplicably trembled, she shook her head vigorously, and also extended her hand, saying energetically:

"Okay! Please take care of me from now on!"

After the three of them got to know each other, Bai Luo suddenly remembered something. He silently drew circles in his heart. He had agreed to play games with the fake Princess a few days ago, and the time seemed to be this afternoon.

[Notification. You can use a clone to help Alice build the house instead of the main body. The main body will go home]

The Great Sage responsibly offered a suggestion.

Is that really possible?

Bai Luo's eyes lit up.

[Yes. The Great Sage skill can operate a clone]

As expected of the Great Sage!

Bai Luo praised without hesitation, and at the same time, an idea popped into his mind.

During combat, he could create a clone, one controlled by the Great Sage, and the other controlled by himself.
