I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Well, as long as you haven't forgotten, I won't need you all the time. Now that you're strong enough, you probably won't stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion anymore. From now on, just come once a month."

Patchouli usually has her own things to do, so it is impossible for her to study Bai's energy every day. Usually, she just needs Bai to leave enough energy for her to study at any time.

"No problem, but..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly came from Remi and Fran's side.

"I don't want to. I have no problem now. Sister, you have no reason to stop me!"

"I'm not trying to stop you, Fran. It's just that it's really dangerous out there. There are black and white rats, that vicious witch, and that gap monster that's hiding somewhere. They could pose a threat to you at any time."

"Isn't it all fine if I just don't mess with them? I'm just out having fun, not looking for trouble. They have no reason to attack me."

"It still won't work. Sometimes those monsters are unreasonable. Look at you, Fran, you're so cute. What if a monster really wants to attack you..."

"Alright, Onee-sama, if you keep saying that, I won't stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion!"

"If you don't stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, you have nowhere else to go."

"Who said there's no place? I...I..." Fran looked around and her eyes lit up when she noticed Bai.

Then he quickly ran behind Bai.

Why don’t I just go to this big brother’s house? He is so familiar with you, big sister, he will definitely not harm me.

Bai glanced at Fran behind him, then looked up at Remi in front of him who was already emitting black air, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

Chapter 11: Real Drama Queen and Fake Drama Queen

"Remi, do you believe me when I say I didn't do anything?" Bai took a step to the side, trying to make Fran appear behind him, but Fran followed his footsteps and walked to the side, still hiding behind him.

Remi was covered in black air, and Gungnir appeared in her hand again. Her scarlet eyes flashed, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Bai, stabbing at Bai without mercy.

"You better go die!"

Seeing this, Bai shook his head helplessly, then chuckled and said, "It was you, Remi, who started it first, so don't blame me!"

An ice wall instantly appeared between the two of them, blocking Remi's attack. Then, before Remi could sense what was happening, her body returned to its previous position, still maintaining the same movement.

A flash of doubt in her eyes, Remi stood up again and rushed towards Bai Ci, then returned to her original position.

Now even Remi felt something was wrong, she stopped her actions temporarily and looked at Bai warily.

"What did you do? I should have hit you more than once, so why am I still standing there?"

"Ah, Remi, did you hit me? I didn't know." Bai looked innocent.

Remi narrowed her eyes slightly and threw the scarlet spear in her hand towards Bai.

This time she wanted to take a closer look at what was going on...

Remi suddenly froze in place, looking down blankly at the spear that was still in her hand for some reason.

She...shouldn't be distracted?

"Miss, it's time." A helpless voice came from the side.

Sakuya finally couldn't bear to watch her eldest daughter being teased anymore, so she spoke out the truth.

"He paused time the first time you made a move, and then put you back to where you were. He did the same thing just now."

"That's not right." Remi was still a little confused. "Sakuya, you can also stop time, but when you touch someone, that person's state is broken, right? Why don't I feel anything?"

Sakuya usually uses time stop, and Remi also knows some of the properties of time stop, such as what is touched will release the state of that thing, and what is separated from the body will also fall into time stop.

According to what Sakuya said just now, Bai put her back personally, so no matter what, there should have been some contact, but she didn't feel anything.

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe his ability is more advanced." Sakuya shook her head slightly and turned to look at Bai.

She had already discovered this when Remi asked her to do it at Bai's house. Bai now seemed unaffected by the time freeze.

At that time, Bai was watching her walk up behind him step by step and hold his shoulders. If it wasn't for Remi's request, she would definitely not do such an embarrassing thing.

And if Bai's ability was higher than hers, then logically she shouldn't have felt anything, but she watched helplessly as Bai did all this to Remi.

Shouldn't...

Sakuya narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering Shiro's personality from before.

"Don't think about it, my ability is indeed much higher than Sakuya's, and I can do more than that." Waving his hand to interrupt the guesses of several people, a flintlock appeared in Bai's hand.

He raised the pistol, pointed it at Remi, pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew out, shooting into Remi's body in the blink of an eye.

"What did you do?" A drawn-out tone came out of Remi's mouth, and her funny look made Bai and the others laugh.

Seeing Remi like this, Fran walked out from behind Bai curiously, then quickly came in front of Remi and waved her hand in front of Remi.

"Flan, you..."

"Hehe, onee-sama, you're really funny like this. You shouldn't be able to catch me like this, right?"

As she spoke, Fran circled around Remi a few times. Remi tried to reach out and grab her, but by the time Fran stopped, she hadn't turned around yet.

"You~ guy, hurry up and give it to me... huh? I'm recovered?" Remi was about to shout for Bai to change back to her, but found that he had already recovered.

Looking down at her palm, this time Remi didn't rush forward immediately.

"What do you mean, man?!" Remi asked angrily.

She had no intention of doing anything to Bai just now, but ended up doing something inexplicably slow-motion to her, and also letting her be teased by Fran.

"Well, isn't this just to calm you down, Remi? You and Fran are sisters, you can't really fight, right?" Bai glanced at Fran who hid behind him again, and gently rubbed her head.

"I won't fight with Fran!" Remi immediately retorted.

"Then why do you keep restricting Fran? She couldn't control her abilities before, but now she can. If you don't believe me, look at what happened just now. Is anything around damaged?"

After hearing Bai's explanation, Remi calmed down a little and looked around.

Apart from the damage to the ground around her due to the release of energy, not even a single decoration was damaged.

"Is Fran's ability really under control?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"That's hard to say." Remi put away Gungnir and slowly walked towards Bai.

"Although Fran has controlled her abilities, Gensokyo is very dangerous. I'm worried that Fran might get hurt out there."

"No, although there are many people in Gensokyo who are stronger than Fran, there are also many who are weaker than Fran but live just as well. What's more, don't I still have you here?

You should have seen my ability. To be frank, no creature in the entire Gensokyo can harm Fran without my permission."

Now, even if the Dragon God appears again, Bai can face him without hesitation, and is very confident that he can keep the Dragon God.

"I'm worried because of you." Remi muttered softly.

Her sister Fran has rarely left the Scarlet Devil Mansion and has no idea about the personalities of some people in the outside world, especially Bai.

Now I don’t know what Bai Ju said to Fran that made Fran trust him so much.

Seeing that Fran was about to fall into the hands of this "devil", how could she be willing to do that?

Keflan's appearance of trusting Bai even more than her really made her feel helpless.

After a moment of silence, Remi looked up at Shiro.

"Okay, I can promise Fran to let her out, but you have to ensure Fran's safety."

"No problem." Bai replied without hesitation.

He didn't need to promise anything to Remi, but he could understand Remi's concerns.

In Remi's eyes, Fran will always be a child who never grows up. Even if she takes a step outside, it will cause countless worries for her parents, which cannot be avoided even if her parents are watching her all the time.

So even if it was just to strengthen Remi's confidence, he would agree without hesitation.

Seeing Bai's firm assurance, Remi finally let down her temper.

"Forget it, you guys go away, I want to be alone."

At this time, Fran also walked out from behind Bai and looked at Remi in a daze.

"That's enough." The immovable library issued a declaration.

"I just wanted Fran to go out and play. Is it necessary to act like this? Remi, you're addicted, aren't you? And you, Bai, Remi is ignorant and you're making trouble too?"

Really, it would be fine if they just made a fuss at other times, but now everyone is gathered in Fran's room and they're still making a fuss here without even considering the occasion.

"Patchwork, you..." Remi was slightly stunned. It was the first time she saw Patchouli like this.

"Forget it, I don't care about you guys anymore. I'll go back first. Bai, don't forget to come on time." Patchouli shook her head and turned to leave the basement.

Bai Wusu shrugged and followed Patchouli.

You happen to be free now, don't you?

Chapter 12: Rabbits are the easiest to bully

In the slightly crowded library, purple eyes stared intently at the gray energy ball in front of him, and his slender palm pressed on it, feeling the flow of energy within it.

After a moment, Patchouli slowly withdrew her hand and stood there thinking.

"It's really strange. Logically speaking, this kind of energy that can accommodate everything shouldn't be allowed to exist in the world. If that kind of energy exists for even a quarter of an hour longer, it will be a pollution to the world. But the energy in you doesn't seem to be hated by the world.

And the most important thing is that you don’t know where this energy comes from, which is even more inappropriate.

Even a unique species like Yakumo Yukari, who has understood the origins of their abilities and how to use them since their birth, but you…” Patchouli looked up at Yan Bai, “Oh, there’s another one called Tianyi, right? He also has this kind of inexplicable energy?”

"The energy in Tianyi's body is different from mine." Bai shook his head, "Perhaps it's because we both come from the outside world, and our bodies have other characteristics.

When we first arrived in Gensokyo, we were all ordinary people, but later we came into contact with things with energy, and then our abilities appeared.

Besides, Tianyi has only had her power for a short time, so she doesn't know what her power is yet."

“Okay, as long as you can take care of it.

But I regret to tell you that I don't think I can research anything in a short time. This kind of energy is beyond my comprehension. I need some time to do some research."

Patchouli raised her hand slightly, and a bottle-shaped object appeared in the air, collected the energy, and then was placed on the desk beside her.

Although it was convenient to collect it with magic, she was afraid that this energy would be directly connected to her magic and would accidentally dissipate.

Energy is something that, if preserved properly, is enough for her to study for decades. Although Youbai is willing to supply her with it all the time, she can't just ask for it every once in a while, right?

Bai didn't care much about it. After seeing that the energy was collected by Patchouli, he walked around the bookshelf.

"It doesn't matter if I can't find anything. I already have some clues about the source of these energies."

Patchouli was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Bai, "That's true. After all, you are the master of this energy. Compared to me, you should be more interested in understanding its source.

But the understanding you're talking about should be about the time you left Gensokyo, right? Judging from your appearance, it seems that you've experienced quite a bit of time. If you don't mind, could you tell me what happened outside? Perhaps I can deduce some other results."

"Things outside... Of course." Bai stopped and some memories emerged in his eyes.

......

In a place called the Lost Bamboo Forest, a black-haired young lady was sitting in a house with a calm expression, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his cheeks.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you didn't tell me in detail back then. It's been a full thousand years. I really kept waiting."

Kaguya chuckled and stood up and walked out. Eirin was standing in front of her outside the door.

"Princess, you heard it too, didn't you?"

"That's right, Yonglin, it's him. How about we go check it out together?"

"Now?" Yonglin's expression was a little complicated.

"Not then." Kaguya shook her head slightly, then raised the corner of her mouth. "Didn't he say there's a party in three days? Whether we go or not, he'll definitely come, so we just have to wait for now."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"If he doesn't come... wouldn't that be exactly what you want, Eirin?"

"Princess, I didn't mean that. I was just worried..."

"Okay, Eirin, it's just a joke." Kaguya waved her hand, sat on the recliner in front of the door, closed her eyes slightly, as if feeling something.

"If he doesn't come, that gives me a reason."

"Alas, Princess..." Yonglin sighed softly, looking at Kaguya's appearance but feeling helpless.
