I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"As expected of a child gifted by God, he is indeed different from ordinary people."

In front of the two of them, on the bed, a baby about one year old was lying there, covered with clothes that looked like those of Zoumaro's wife, looking at them expressionlessly.

After circling the baby, Luo Bai turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zaomaru, there's nothing wrong with her body."

After hearing Luo Bai's words, Zaomaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how he felt when he came back from cutting bamboo in the mountains and saw such a big baby. If he hadn't confirmed in every possible way that the baby was his adopted child Kaguya, he might have run away with his wife long ago.

After all, if there is suddenly another person in the house, even if it is a baby, we must be on guard in this world where demons exist.

"Thank you very much, sir, for taking the trouble to come here. I don't have anything to offer you at home."

Zaomaro bowed and then sighed.

He was the only one in his family who went up the mountain to cut bamboo for a living every day. He could take care of himself and his wife and still have some left over. But after he started to support Kaguya, the family started to live frugally.

Everything Kaguya needs has to be bought in Heijokyo, and most of them are not cheap, but she can barely make ends meet.

But if Kaguya continues to grow at this rate, she will look like a year old in just two days. After a few more days, I might even find it difficult to just change Kaguya's clothes.

After hearing what Zoumaro said, Luo Bai didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but when he saw Zoumaro's worried expression, his mind moved. His consciousness swept across the entire house, and then he looked at Kaguya lying on the bed with some surprise.

No, Kaguya was sent down here to be raised by someone else. Didn’t the person who sent her down here prepare the most basic supplies needed to raise Kaguya?

He checked Zoumaro's entire house and did not find even a trace of gold. The only money there was was the copper coins that Zoumaro and his wife had saved over the years.

In fact, he was not the only one who was confused, Kaguya was the same.

"Did something happen to Eirin? Didn't they say someone would deliver some supplies every day? Could it be that my father missed it? That's impossible. My father is just an ordinary person. There's no way he could avoid someone coming down."

Although it was only two days, she still saw how well Zoumaro and his wife treated Kaguya. Some of the money they had saved by living frugally was used to buy things Kaguya needed. Even the place where Kaguya slept before was made of cloth woven by Zoumaro's wife.

This also made Kaguya's heart flutter. Apart from Eirin, this was the first time someone was so nice to her, even though they were people on earth.

Thinking that she would have to stay on the ground for another hundred years, Kaguya decided to use the terms she found in her memory to address her parents, namely, Zaomaro and his wife.

And now she can actually speak, but before she could open her mouth, Zaomaru went to find Luo Bai.

But now she looked at Luo Bai's inexplicable smile and had no desire to speak at all.

Seeing Zaomaru's worried look, Luo Bai thought for a moment and then said to him:

"Zomaro is worried about Kaguya?"

"This...to be honest, it's true." Zaomaro gave a helpless smile.

"My family is really a little poor. Recently, I have been discussing with my wife whether we can weave some things to sell. Otherwise, if we wait any longer, I am afraid we won't be able to take care of ourselves."

"How about I pay for you to move to Heijokyo?" Luo Bai suggested.

"How dare you do this!"

"But how long can you last if you don't?

If my calculations are correct, Kaguya will continue to grow at this rate until she becomes the same size as a normal woman. This means that you will need to prepare daily necessities for Kaguya from infancy to adulthood within the next month.

With all due respect, you guys are probably not prepared for this, right?"

Zaomaru remained silent, which was a disguised acknowledgement of Luo Bai's question.

"So instead of waiting until you go around asking for help, why don't I help you make the choice now? Besides, I've watched this little Kaguya appear since she appeared, and I'm curious about how much she can grow up to be.

Besides, if anything happens to Kaguya again after we move there, you won’t have to run so far to find me.”

After he finished speaking, Zaomaro sighed silently.

What good things did he do in his previous life to deserve such help from Luo Bai?

"Since you have said so, my Lord, it would be my fault if I refuse."

"Well, that's good. Go pack your things first, and come back with me tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Zaomaro no longer refused, Luo Bai nodded with satisfaction.

It is not difficult for him to find a place to live. If he gives the family next door enough money for them to live on for a lifetime, they will probably be happy to move away.

"What about you, sir?" Zaomaru looked at Luo Bai in confusion. There was no extra room in their house.

"Don't worry, it's just one night of no rest. It won't affect me much. It just so happens that I can stay here tonight to watch little Kaguya and observe how she grows so fast."

"Then I'll trouble you tonight, sir."

Zaomaro bowed, then walked out of the room to discuss the next matters with his wife, while Luo Bai also materialized a chair beside Kaguya's bed and sat there looking at her with interest.

"You've grown so much in just two days! I'm curious if you'll be the same size as a normal woman in a month. But will you have the knowledge you need by then, growing so fast? Or will you end up mentally retarded?

Besides, a one-year-old child should be able to cry and laugh, right? Seeing your expressionless face, have you been wronged? With Zaomaro's personality, even if he was wronged, he wouldn't let you be wronged, right?

So... have a laugh."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bai stretched out his finger and tried to poke Kaguya's cheek, wanting to see her expression.

But before he could touch Kaguya, he saw Kaguya open her still delicate lips and said in a clear voice: "Don't touch me with your dirty body."

Luo Bai's outstretched arm paused in mid-air. He looked at Kaguya with a playful smile and said, "So you can talk? I knew it! You've grown so fast, how could you not be intelligent? And you call yourself a concubine... Are you a princess from somewhere?"

"I don't need to explain to you who I am. If you leave now and don't bother me anymore, I won't pursue what happened before. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to regret it later."

Although she looked the size of a one-year-old baby, Luo Bai could see arrogance in Kaguya's eyes.

"Are you threatening me?" Luo Bai narrowed his eyes and said with a bad face, then sneered.

"It's a pity that I'm a soft-hearted person. No matter who you were before, you have no ability to resist now. If I kill you right now, what can you do?"

Seeing Luo Bai like this, Kaguya closed her eyes and stopped talking.

After taking the Penglai medicine developed using her own abilities, she has long been an immortal being. Even if her body is broken, her limbs are missing, or even her head is gone, she will not die. She will soon be able to grow limbs out of thin air, but she will still experience pain during the process.

If Luo Bai really intended to kill her, she would definitely be tortured after he discovered that she had a special body. She could only endure it silently and wait for rescue, or wait until a month later when her growth was complete and her abilities were released before she could kill Luo Bai again.

However, the imagined pain did not come, instead, I felt the warmth of the fingers on my cheek.

Kaguya opened her eyes and saw Luo Bai smiling at her, his fingers poking her cheek.

"...Take your fingers away."

"No, Kaguya's soft face feels so good to poke, and you must have been thinking about how to kill me just now.

But it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of challenges. Whether you plan to do it yourself or hire someone else to do it, I will accept it. But..."

Luo Bai's fingers paused slightly, and then he showed a meaningful look.

"If you don't kill me, then you'd better be prepared to accept the punishment."

Looking at Luo Bai like this, Kaguya felt an inexplicable chill, then closed her eyes and ignored him.

Seeing that Kaguya was letting him do as he pleased, Luo Bai stopped what he was doing, then took out a book and started reading.

It would be too boring if there was no resistance at all.

Chapter 40: A Big Problem Found

The next morning, everyone set off before dawn.

Zoumaro was pushing a bamboo cart loaded with daily necessities, and his wife was walking side by side with Kaguya in her arms.

Although Zaomaro and his wife were both quite old, people of that era, especially those from less affluent families, were still in good health, so they did not walk slowly.

However, because the journey was quite long, it was already dawn when we arrived in Heijokyo.

After a very friendly negotiation with the neighbor, the neighbor readily accepted a large sum of money and moved out immediately, even leaving some furniture there.

With these basics, Zaomaro's family was able to clean up much faster.

By the time their neighbors discovered that their family was missing, Zaomaru had already gone to the street to buy things with the money given to them by Luo Bai.

Luo Bai also returned to his residence after taking a look at Kaguya who was still preaching.

As for Kaguya, she knew that this was a good thing for Zaomaro and the others, so she had no objection.

If we exclude the fact that Luo Bai seemed to have ulterior motives towards her, then she would be fine even if she said that she owed Luo Bai a favor because of this matter.

At this point, Kaguya couldn't help but blame Eirin for saying that she had arranged everything.

But even though she complained, she was still a little confused about Eirin's failure to make arrangements. With Eirin's meticulous personality, it was impossible for him to forget about this matter. Now that Eirin hadn't shown up, perhaps something had happened in Yuedu that had delayed her.

She just hoped it wasn't a big deal, otherwise she would have a hard time during this period.

She is not worried now because she is still small, but after she grows up a little, she can't guarantee that Luo Bai will not do anything.

However, while Kaguya was worried, Luo Bai didn't have time to think about her.

"Um...Brother Luo Bai...can I call him that?"

In front of his house, Luo Bai looked at Meihong who was standing in front of him shyly, and for a moment he didn't understand what was going on.

If he remembered correctly, they had only known each other for a few days, so their relationship shouldn't be that close, right? Moreover, he had rejected Meihong without any hesitation yesterday.

So the question is, what happened last night that made Meihong become like this? Luo Bai fell into deep thought.

"Did anyone say anything to you, Meihong, yesterday? Why did you think of calling me that?" Luo Bai asked tentatively.

"No, no, I just thought about how much help you, Brother Luo Bai, have given me. It would be a bit distant if I still called you Mr., so I came up with this title."

Meihong explained in a panic, but her eyes wandered involuntarily.

Seeing this, Luo Bai sighed slightly inwardly.

It's hard to believe that you are not lying.

He originally planned to just take care of Meihong for a while and leave after Meihong gained strength, but now that he has accepted this title, there are a lot of things to do.

But...so what?

Luo Bai raised the corner of his mouth. He was not a timid person, otherwise he would not go wherever he saw something interesting.

"Okay, since you said so, Meihong, I definitely can't refuse anymore. Otherwise, it would be bad to make Meihong sad."

"I won't be sad!" Meihong smiled happily, then sat on the same chair as yesterday, picked up the book that Luo Bai had prepared long ago and started reading.

Although my eyes were on the book, my mind had already flown far away.

Yesterday her mother spent almost the entire night talking to her about so-called ways to get closer to others.

As long as someone looks young, you call them brother if they are a boy and sister if they are a girl. Then you will look for any advantages they have and praise them accordingly. If you can't find any advantages on their own, you will compare them with others to find them. In short, there are all kinds of methods.

If she didn't know that her mother had married into the Fujiwara family a long time ago, she would probably have doubted what her mother had done in the past.

After being brainwashed by her mother several times, she fell asleep only after she remembered that it was almost time, and she almost didn't get up this morning.

However, after seeing that the method was successful, I no longer felt sleepy at all.

After all, according to her mother, once the relationship is established, as long as it is not a political relationship, when she needs help from others, others will more or less help her because of this relationship.

However, you can't go there right after you get close to someone, otherwise people will suspect you have ulterior motives.

Therefore, Meihong is not in a hurry to tell Luo Bai that she wants to learn skills. Now it is enough for her to come here every day to accompany Luo Bai to read books.

Meihong's mind was wandering constantly. She was already thinking about what skills she would learn in the future. Her attention had long been distracted, so she did not notice Luo Bai's obvious abnormality.

When Meihong picked up the book and started reading, Luo Bai suddenly thought of a question.

He was now certain that he was in the past of Gensokyo, and had already met several characters from Gensokyo.

Let’s not talk about Huo Qing’e and Suwako for now, but he met Meihong and Yakumo Yukari when he first arrived in Gensokyo, but why didn’t they seem to know him at that time?

Given his personality, unless something special happened that left him no time to take care of them, he would definitely do something to them when he left, at least to prevent them from being affected by time and causing memory problems.

But even from his current perspective, the situation at that time did not seem fake. As one of the managers of the human world, Meihong had no problem helping these outsiders, and they did not have much contact with each other afterwards, so there was obviously no problem.

Otherwise, given their current relationship, Meihong would at least reveal some flaws when they first met.

As for whether Yakumo Yukari was pretending, he couldn't say. After all, she had lived for at least a thousand years at that time, so acting was too easy for her.

But based on his understanding of Yakumo Yukari, if what is happening now is not tampered with in the future, Yakumo Yukari will never be so friendly when she sees her.

So Luo Bai is now thinking about whether he should take some measures to protect their memories now, in case something happens in the future that causes them to lose their current memories.

With a thought, Luo Bai looked at Meihong, and then a stream of energy covered Meihong's soul.

This is a safety measure to at least ensure that Meihong's soul will not be damaged, and her memory will naturally not be affected.

But after buying the insurance, Luo Bai fell into deep thought again.
