Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Bai Luo shook his head, his gaze directed towards the Sunflower Field.

"I want to go see the Sunflower Field."

Hearing this, Yakumo Ran shrunk her neck. Although she didn't speak to stop him, she still said, "Ran will go with you."

Even if it was as Young Master Bai described, that person was indeed very fond of Young Master Bai before.

But now that everyone has lost their memories, Yakumo Ran isn't sure if that person will still treat Young Master Bai the same way as before.

If she goes with him, she can protect Young Master Bai in case of an accident.

...

The snow was still falling.

Beside the Dream House, Kazami Yuuka leaned back in a sun chair, holding flower tea, quietly watching the Flower Field.

She felt something was wrong.

During this time, there was always an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Clearly, the snow was still snow.

Clearly, everything seemed the same as before, without the slightest change.

But this year's snow was unusually boring, as if something important was missing.

Kazami Yuuka tried hard to recall, but she could never find the answer.

She frowned and drained the flower tea in her cup.

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the end of the Flower Field, walking towards her.

It was that Little Fox from the Yakumo Family, and...

The moment she saw that young figure, Kazami Yuuka's pupils inexplicably contracted, and a cracking sound came from the flower cup in her hand.

Her long-gloomy heart felt as if a ray of light had shone in, melting the accumulated snow.

Who is he?

Why does she have this feeling?

Kazami Yuuka took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. When Yakumo Ran approached, she asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Kazami Yuuka's cold demeanor, Yakumo Ran involuntarily flinched, her nine tails stiffened, and she weakly retreated behind Bai Luo.

"Young Master Bai has something for you."

Bai Luo looked up at Kazami Yuuka.

Although she was as beautiful as before, the unfamiliarity and distance emanating from those scarlet eyes made him extremely uncomfortable, and a sense of grievance arose in his heart.

Kazami Yuuka was also observing Bai Luo, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity yet with a hint of familiarity.

"What is your relationship with Yakumo Yukari? What do you want from me?"

Her tone was still cold.

Bai Luo pursed his lips and did not answer.

Kazami Yuuka frowned again. She didn't like his attitude of ignoring her.

"Since you won't say, then..."

Before Kazami Yuuka could finish her sentence, Bai Luo pounced on her without warning.

Seeing this scene, Yakumo Ran was almost scared to death.

She prepared to rescue him and escape at any moment, knowing that Yuuka-sama did not have her memories from before.

Bai Luo buried his face in Kazami Yuuka's embrace, his shoulders slightly shaking, suppressing his sobs.

Pain.

His heart was in inexplicable pain, as if something was tearing at Kazami Yuuka's heart.

She just sat there quietly, letting Bai Luo stay in her arms, and did not push him away.

Seeing this situation, Yakumo Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she found it incredible, she quietly retreated back into the gap, leaving only Kazami Yuuka and Bai Luo.

After a long time, Bai Luo raised his head and smiled, "A-San, long time no see!"

The moment these two words came out, a familiar feeling instantly enveloped her. Kazami Yuuka felt as if she had been spellbound, unable to move.

At this moment, her heart suddenly trembled violently, and an indescribable pang of sadness surged out.

She stared at the Little One in front of her, her tightly closed lips slightly parted, but she couldn't say a word.

She didn't know what to say.

But it seemed as if there were a lot of things she wanted to say to him.

Kazami Yuuka felt a very strong sense of incongruity.

Is it a mental influence like Bewitchment Art?

No.

Even the Bewitchment Art cast by that Little Fox couldn't affect her, let alone this seemingly weak and powerless Little Youkai in front of her.

But strangely, when she saw the Little One's eyes glinting with tears and his wronged expression, she couldn't help but reach out to hug him, to comfort him, and even her heart would ache slightly.

All of this was beyond her control.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

Kazami Yuuka had a moment of trance, but quickly recovered.

She didn't like her current state, this feeling of being out of control.

But she couldn't bear to let go of the Little One.

Her instinct told her.

If she let go again—she would regret it.

She just quietly watched the Little One until he stopped sobbing and looked up at her again.

He raised his head, no longer showing the previous grievance and sadness. He was smiling, bright and pure, with a few rays of sunlight falling on him, adding a touch of fantasy.

Kazami Yuuka froze in place.

"A-San, come watch the snow with me!"

Chapter 3: Beautiful Snow, Yet With Regret.

"Okay."

Kazami Yuuka didn't understand what was so good about the snow.

But for some reason, she inexplicably nodded and agreed.

"Wait for me!"

Bai Luo turned around and rushed into the Dream House.

A moment later, he came out holding a cup of hot cocoa and a cup of milk tea, handing the milk tea to Kazami Yuuka.

"What is this?"

"Don't ask so much, you'll definitely like it!"

Kazami Yuuka lowered her eyes, looking at the item in her hand.

It looked like milk with sugar added.

She held it, sniffed it, and with slightly parted red lips, took a sip.

The sweet, melting milk flavor spread in her mouth, with a hint of fresh sweetness.

"How is it? Didn't I tell you?"

Bai Luo's mouth curled up, his proud expression like a cat seeking praise.

"It's okay."

Kazami Yuuka nodded and took another small sip of milk tea.

Bai Luo pulled out bag after bag of snacks from his stomach pouch, and they quickly filled the table.

Fortunately, he had a good habit of storing snacks. Before being abducted by Yakumo Yukari, he had packed a lot of snacks.

Kazami Yuuka's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly as she watched him continuously spit out things.

"Take whatever you want to eat."

Bai Luo beckoned to Kazami Yuuka, casually grabbing a piece of chocolate and popping it into his mouth.

The snow was still falling.

Kazami Yuuka sat quietly, holding the hot cocoa.

Watching Bai Luo's joyful expression, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

That inexplicable sense of strangeness disappeared.

She didn't know why.

Clearly, the snow was still snow.

Clearly, everything looked the same as before, without the slightest change.

But at this moment, her empty heart seemed to be filled.

"The snow is really beautiful."

Bai Luo exclaimed.

He tilted his head back, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, the curve of his mouth becoming even brighter.

"In the bustling winter, sitting on a chair in front of the house, eating snacks, drinking sweet hot milk tea, and watching the ethereal snowflakes slowly fall, this feeling is simply too wonderful."

Bai Luo took a sip of hot milk tea and sighed comfortably.

"It's a pity this isn't the first snow, and my Happy Hut isn't built yet. It's a pity only I remember... otherwise, everything would be perfect."

Although Bai Luo's words and expression were full of joy, and although Kazami Yuuka was somewhat unclear about their meaning, she somehow heard the regret within them.

Suddenly, a part of her heart ached sharply.

The snow was still falling.

Flakes drifted down like cherry blossoms, beautiful and ethereal.

Bai Luo caught a few snowflakes. This time, they didn't melt into water droplets as usual, but accumulated more and more, more and more.

He looked at the small pile of snow on his hand, blinked, formed it into a small snowball, and then turned to look at Kazami Yuuka.

"Look! Yakumo Yukari!"

Bai Luo pointed his left finger at the spot behind Kazami Yuuka and shouted.

However, Kazami Yuuka was unmoved. Not only did she not look in that direction, but her gaze fell on his hidden right hand, clearly having noticed his earlier action.

Bai Luo guiltily swallowed the small snowball in his right hand and coughed twice.

"That guy really did come just now, and even tried to sneak attack."

Bai Luo said seriously.

But Kazami Yuuka didn't believe him, but she didn't expose him, she just reached out and brushed the snowflakes from his head.

Inside the gap.

Yakumo Ran watched this scene, her lips couldn't stop curving upwards, and her tail wagged uncontrollably.

So sweet.

If it were Zi Daren...

No, if it were anyone else, they would have been blasted to smithereens by that person's Magic Cannon long ago.
