Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

“What can I do?”

Yakumo Yukari spread her hands helplessly.

“Yuuka is usually without desires or wishes. If I had to say, she just likes to look at the Flower Field, eat flower cakes, and drink flower tea.”

“I knew you were unreliable! I’ll figure it out myself.”

Bai Luo glared at her, turned around, and specifically looked back before leaving, saying, “That wish doesn’t count.”

...

Bai Luo already had a plan in mind.

It wasn’t difficult, actually.

Since she likes flowers, they can watch flowers together.

The trip to Hakugyokurou last time wasn’t just for the ability of the Boundary Youkai.

Bai Luo returned to the Happy Hut and went to the backyard.

This area was near the stream, the ground had been leveled, and many colorful flowers and plants had been planted.

In the center, there was a small withered tree that seemed out of place.

It was only the height of a fist and looked utterly unremarkable.

Bai Luo stopped and squatted in front of it. Youkai power filled with death surged from his fingertips and injected into the withered tree.

The withered tree faintly trembled and visibly grew a little.

After analyzing the Saigyou Ayakashi, Bai Luo gained the ability to induce death.

This withered tree was the Saigyou Ayakashi seedling he was cultivating.

She was a new life, different from the previous Saigyou Ayakashi; for now, she had no consciousness.

But just in case, Bai Luo specifically used the Saigyou Ayakashi's ability to shackle her and set rules.

He didn't want the Saigyou Ayakashi to reappear because of him.

However, a newborn Saigyou Ayakashi wouldn't cause much of a stir; she would probably be beaten severely by Yakumo Yukari.

Carefully inputting some more youkai power into the saigyou ayakashi tree seedling, Bai Luo finally stood up.

At this rate...

The saigyou ayakashi tree would bloom before December.

Having finished his daily care, Bai Luo hummed an unknown tune and left the backyard.

He went to the kitchen and used youkai power to condense a cherry blossom, the flower of the saigyou ayakashi tree.

Skillfully making a box of flower cakes, Bai Luo looked out through the window frame.

The sun had set.

The last rays of the setting sun scattered across the land, and a few lonely stars gradually appeared in the night sky.

Bai Luo put the box of flower cakes into his stomach pouch and went out towards the direction of the Hakurei Shrine.

It had been some time since he had been to the Hakurei Shrine.

It was a good chance to let Reimu taste it first.

The Hakurei Shrine gate was still tightly locked, but for Bai Luo, it was like it wasn't there; he arrived inside with a single teleportation.

“Reimu!”

Bai Luo called out a few times but received no reply, so he had to look for her himself.

She was probably sleeping again.

However, when Bai Luo arrived at Reimu’s bedroom, he didn’t see her figure.

Just as he was wondering...

The sound of metal clashing came from the courtyard on the left, followed by the crisp jingle of bells.

“Is that Reimu?”

Bai Luo curiously followed the sound and arrived at the open space next to the side hall.

There was a pond near the center here.

A small metal dragon stood in the center of the pond, with two bells hanging from its head.

And Reimu was sitting by the pond.

“Bai Luo?”

Reimu spotted the figure walking towards her in the distance.

“When did you arrive? I’ll make you a cup of tea.”

She stood up and gently patted the dust off her miko outfit.

Just as she was about to go back inside, her hem was suddenly grabbed.

“What’s wrong?”

Reimu turned around and asked in confusion, her expression as usual, but Bai Luo could sense something different.

“Are you crying?”

Reimu froze for a moment but quickly put on a smile again.

“It’s not Young Master Bai’s fault for giving too much offering money, I just don’t know how to spend it all.”

“I can feel it, you’re crying.”

Bai Luo said again.

After speaking, he looked towards the pond and said softly, “Will you sit with me for a while?”

There wasn’t much time left, and Bai Luo hoped Reimu could move past that memory and not suffer because of it anymore.

Reimu’s lips moved.

Crying?

Perhaps.

Reimu herself didn’t know.

She wasn’t worried about food or clothing anymore and had so much money, so why was she still crying?

It had clearly already passed.

She had clearly already forgotten.

Having friends now was already beautiful enough, wasn't it?

But why did it still hurt?

The two sat by the pond, quietly watching the fish swimming back and forth in the water.

Bai Luo noticed that there weren't just fish in the pond; square pieces of metal at the bottom reflected light, twinkling.

Coins?

As Bai Luo wondered why a layer of coins had accumulated at the bottom of the pond, the familiar jingle sounded again.

It was Reimu.

She picked up a coin from the ground and tossed it towards the golden little dragon in the center of the pond.

The coin accurately hit the dragon's head.

“Jingle...”

The bells made a crisp sound again.

At the same time, Reimu’s voice came over.

“Before she left, Mom told me that as long as I could hit it with a coin a hundred times and make the bells ring a hundred times, she would buy me a hundred skewers of candied hawthorns when she came back...”

“Liar.”

After spitting out the last two words, Reimu didn't speak again and picked up another coin to throw at the metal little dragon.

Suddenly, a piece of cake was placed against her tightly closed lips and quickly put into her mouth.

“Although I can’t give you a hundred skewers of candied hawthorns, you can always find me when you want to eat snacks.”

Bai Luo handed over the remaining box of flower cakes. He smiled, and under the moonlight, his young face carried tenderness.

Reimu lightly pursed her lips, then picked up a piece of flower cake and ate it in small bites.

The flower cake was very sweet.

But this sweetness seemed to be covered by something.

She lowered her head, and as one cherry blossom cake after another was swallowed, the mist in her eyes grew thicker.

Reimu looked up at Bai Luo beside her, unconsciously moved closer, and gently hugged him with both arms.

Her movements were very light.

Afraid that everything before her was like a bubble, breaking upon touch.

Afraid that everything was an illusion, and that once the dream woke, there would be nothing left.

Leaning on his shoulder, Reimu's nose twitched slightly, as if trying to remember the scent of this moment. She murmured:

“Will you leave too?”

Bai Luo’s body paused slightly, then he showed a reassuring smile:

“I don’t want to leave. Life here is so beautiful. I still have to overthrow Yakumo Yukari’s rule and save you all from the depths of suffering.”

“Okay.”

A slightly cool breeze brushed past, carrying a hint of a clear scent into her ears. Reimu was already addicted to the feeling of the present moment.

Night had completely fallen.

Not only was the moon high, but more and more stars had come out, dotting the ink-black sky.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparing in advance, the method to eliminate memories.

To draw a stroke on the canvas of someone else's memory without permission, and then just walk away.

That’s too irresponsible.

Since leaving the Hakurei Shrine, Bai Luo had been thinking about this problem.

Then let everyone forget.

If he failed, he would eliminate himself from everyone's memories, so no one would be sad because of him.

Bai Luo didn’t look for Yakumo Yukari.

She definitely wouldn’t agree.

If he mentioned this to Yakumo Yukari, it would be impossible to erase her memory later.

Besides Yakumo Yukari,

Someone who had lived a long time and seen a lot was Yagokoro Eirin.

She had the ability to create any medicine.

Bai Luo came to Eientei, found Yagokoro Eirin, and simply and clearly explained his purpose.

“A potion to erase a person from memory?”

Yagokoro Eirin was surprised and asked in confusion, “Why do you suddenly need this kind of potion?”

“Isn’t it because I’m afraid of being drugged someday?”

Bai Luo said righteously, “So I’m going to swallow and analyze it in advance, just in case.”

Yagokoro Eirin tapped the table for a while, then said softly.
