I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"How about it, is it comfortable enough this time?"

Youxiang lay there with her eyes closed, as if recalling the scene just now. When she heard Bai's question, she nodded slightly.

In the previous battle, Bai had already sent some energy into Youxiang's body, which means that Youxiang's memory had been restored halfway through the battle.

But after regaining her memory, Youxiang did not stop, but became even more excited.

She remembered everything: the extra room, the cumbersome stones, the unknown barrier, and the reasons in her heart for wanting to become stronger. After absorbing Bai's energy, those gaps were filled in naturally, and her fighting spirit reached its peak.

She once left because she was thought to be weak, and challenged Bai everywhere in order to prove that she was strong enough. Now she has returned as a king, no, a strong woman, but she did not expect that she is still so vulnerable in front of Bai.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"You won't leave again, will you?" Youxiang suddenly asked.

"Not anymore."

"Well, you will be my sparring partner from now on.

There are not many people in Gensokyo who can fight me, and some I can't find. Now that you are back, there is no need for me to look for them anymore."

Are there not many people left who can fight?

Bai was a little surprised for a moment. From what Youxiang said, it seemed that she had already fought against everyone in Gensokyo who could fight with her.

"There's no problem with sparring, but you should recover first." Bai smiled and shook his head.

"Well, come to the flower fields after the party. I need your help with something."

"After the banquet, that's no problem."

Bai thought about it and it seemed that he had a lot of things to do after the banquet.

But never mind, the main issues were resolved at the banquet anyway, so it won’t take up too much time if something else happens later.

Hearing Bai's agreement, Youxiang silently curled up the corners of her mouth.

Bai didn't say anything else, just sat there quietly, enjoying the quiet atmosphere around him.

Of course, it would be better if there weren't the weird looks from the monsters passing by from time to time.

A few days passed, and the banquet that satisfied most people in Gensokyo finally came to an end.

After seeing the last person other than him leave, the entrance to the Garden of Eden was also closed by Bai.

After looking at the surroundings that had returned to normal, Bai's figure gradually disappeared.

Chapter 29: Aqiu's Problem

At the edge of the Mist Lake, Bai picked up a fishing rod and wanted to see if he could catch some fish.

He had been here for such a long time, but he had never seen anyone catching fish. Even in the human world, it was rare to see people selling fish.

This shouldn't be the case. Huang Xiangxiang owns quite a few lakes, large and small, so there shouldn't be no fish at all.

Next to him was Aqiu, who was observing his various actions.

Although I basically have no memory of the past, the compilation of exceptions is an exception. It seems to be engraved deep in my soul, and I cannot forget it even after many reincarnations.

Since I have no memory of Bai in my mind, and Bai is not a normal person, I can take this opportunity to observe and make some records.

As for what Bai said about solving the problem, she was not in a hurry. Bai didn't look like he would leave at any time, and she had nothing to do for the time being, so it would be okay to wait a while.

only......

Aqiu turned and looked at Xiaoling who was chatting with the girl named Luo Tianyi in the courtyard, his eyes flickering slightly.

Kozue's full name is Motoori Kozue. She is the daughter of the owner of a bookstore called Suzunaan in Human Village, and she also works as a clerk there.

He usually has the same personality as the magician in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. He rarely goes out and basically just reads at home, but the books he reads are extraordinary.

Maybe it was because Xiaoling's ancestors had blood from other races, or maybe it was because of her extraordinary talent, but Xiaoling was inexplicably able to understand any text.

After accidentally discovering this ability of hers, Xiaoling immersed herself in some strange books, including the origin of her previous lives written in ancient characters, which she herself could hardly understand, but Xiaoling could also read it.

Because they are both human, have special abilities, and happen to like books, the two quickly became friends, and she gradually understood Xiaoling's character.

I am very worried about the so-called monsters, but I can't help but want to get in touch with them. I am afraid that the relationship between humans and monsters is not good, but I can't suppress my strong curiosity.

When he knew that she was going to attend this banquet with monsters, he took the initiative to find her and said that he wanted to come along.

Since Huiyin and Meihong were accompanying her, she didn't have to worry too much about safety, and she herself had no objections.

After asking Huiyin and the other two, he brought Xiaoling along.

At the banquet, Xiaoling saw all kinds of monsters and kept asking questions, and she answered them diligently. However, Xiaoling, who was supposed to leave with Meihong after the banquet, chose to stay.

She thought Xiaoling really had some thoughts about what happened at the banquet, but since she started chatting with Luo Tianyi, she didn't see Xiaoling look over here.

This made her unsure of what Xiaoling was thinking for a moment.

But her intuition told her that her friend was not as simple as he seemed, and might have been doing something secretly.

Aqiu looked thoughtful, and Bai beside him also noticed the change in Aqiu.

"What are you thinking about, Qiu?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious about what they are talking about. They look very happy." A Qiu turned around and replied.

"They should have a lot to talk about." Bai glanced at the courtyard. "They've both been exposed to different things so far. Even a single sentence from each of them could be enough to keep them talking for days."

"Really? Speaking of which, this Luo... let's call her Tianyi. She looks younger than me.

Tianyi shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?"

She also went to other places during the banquet and happened to see Luo Tianyi eating. She looked very ladylike but had an appetite far beyond that of an ordinary person, which made her stop for a long time.

In her impression, the only person who could be compared with him was the owner of the White Jade Tower in the underworld.

Although she didn't know what race Luo Tianyi was, her appetite alone showed that she was definitely not an ordinary person.

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I’m sure it’s not an ordinary person.”

Bai didn't know what Tianyi was before he came here. Some said he was an Earthling, while others said he was an alien. He didn't have much strength during the time he came here, so he couldn't make any judgment. When he came back and found that Tianyi had other abilities, he couldn't make any judgment anymore.

Only when we find Tianyi’s previous world in the future can we know what Tianyi was like in the past.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what they are, monsters, gods, immortals, elves, magical girls, etc., human or not, there are many who have had close contact with him.

Even if someone came out and told him that Luo Tianyi's true form was a monster or an alien, he wouldn't feel a bit upset.

"Before? Oh, by the way, Meihong said that you all came from the outside world, right?

If I don't know what happened before...don't you know each other in the outside world?"

Hearing Ah Qiu's slightly offensive question, Bai just shook his head slightly.

“It’s true that it came from the outside world, but it’s not the outside world you imagined.

If you want to hear about these things later, I can slowly tell you, but for now, let’s solve your memory problem first.”

"Is there really something wrong with my memory?"

Seeing that Bai didn't want to talk for the time being, Aqiu didn't ask any more questions and turned to think about his own problems.

"According to the records, I was the one responsible for compiling the original text. For some reason, I made a deal with Yama, which allowed me to retain my memories. This is how it should have been.

I don’t know what happened during my last reincarnation, but when I woke up in this life, I couldn’t remember anything except the origin of my life.”

Bai paused for a moment, holding the fishing rod, and then he turned around and looked at Aqiu, fixing the rod in place.

He had thought that Ah Qiu just lacked memories of him, but after hearing what she said, it seemed like there was more to it than that.

"Have you lost even your memory of reincarnation? No wonder you don't recognize me."

The first page of the book called Origin should record him. If Aqiu had not lost his previous memories, he would have remembered the contents of Origin the moment he saw him.

At the banquet, Ah Qiu didn't recognize him, and he thought that the part about him in the origin was also hidden. Now it seems that he simply forgot the previous text.

However, if something went wrong during the reincarnation process, then Yama should be responsible.

The agreed thing was not done... He was a little curious about what Shiki Eiji's current condition was.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I didn't recognize you. It won't have any impact anyway." Bai waved his hand, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.

"But, please, do you really want to recover your previous memories?"

Chapter 30 Aqiu's Choice

"Although you still remember the origin of the compilation, there's basically no need to be too obsessed with it now. I can tell you clearly that the mysteries of the outside world are disappearing. Things like monsters and gods may disappear in a hundred years or even a thousand years.

People can only learn about it from various books or electronic information, and there is no possibility of encountering it again.

The monsters in Gensokyo are basically fixed and may not change much in a few hundred years, so the matter of their origin can be put aside for the time being.

And because you have lost your previous memories, you are a completely different person in this life. You can live your whole life as Aqiu instead of continuing to live a boring life as the son of Yu Ali.

I can help you recover your memory, but you have to understand that Aqiu's memory is completely insignificant compared to the memory of several generations of Yu Ali's son for such a long time. It is very likely that after recovering your memory, you... will no longer be yourself.

Now, do you still want to recover?"

Although doing so would be a bit unfair to the original A Li, Bai didn't want to see A Qiu's personality disappear like this.

Of course, this doesn’t mean giving up on Ali directly.

If Ah Qiu agrees not to recover his memory, he will directly pull Ah Li out of the timeline and create a new body for him, while Ah Qiu will continue to maintain his current state.

With his current means, neither Yama nor the world consciousness can stop him. It is just a matter of extracting the memory of a human being. The Dragon God will not be against him for this.

"I have no idea..."

Aqiu, who was originally full of confidence in regaining his memory, also fell silent.

Just as Bai said, she is still very satisfied with her current life. The matter of compiling the origins does not take up too much of her daily time because most of the monsters have been fixed and recorded.

Usually she just reads books and chats with others there every day, and lives a very comfortable life.

If his memory is restored, just as Bai said, he will become the son of Yuari who only knows how to compile origins. I am afraid that he will never have the chance to enjoy such a life again.

She didn't know why the first generation Ali wanted to compile the origin, and she couldn't understand that kind of belief. Now she was just the eldest daughter of the Hieda family, an ordinary person with some special abilities.

Can......

Aqiu sighed and raised his head with a serious look.

"Please help me recover my memory."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Well, I have to do my job. I inherited the ability of Yu Ali's son, so I must do something about it.

Even if I do nothing in this life, I will definitely pick up the pen again when I am reborn. And it is possible that my laziness in this life will increase my workload in the next life."

In this life, she is Aqiu, and in the next life, she may be A'Shi. In each life, she is a different person with different experiences and friends.

She was reincarnated only nine times in a thousand years, which was basically like an ordinary person who reincarnated once every hundred years. When she was reincarnated the next time, her human friends were no longer around, but she still had those memories.

In order to get rid of the loss and nostalgia, she could only find something to divert her attention.

What are you looking for?

Nature is the cause and effect that has lasted for thousands of years.

There's no way around this hurdle, unless...

"Drink this cup of tea."

Bai suddenly came in front of Aqiu, and a cup of tea appeared out of thin air in his hand and handed it to Aqiu.

"What is this?" Aqiu looked at Bai in confusion, but still took the teacup.

"Something to help you restore your memory."

"Restore memory..."

Ah Qiu was a little dazed for a moment, and looked down at the tea in his hand. It was extremely clear and seemed to have a faint fragrance.

He slowly raised his arm and brought the tea to his lips, his eyes instantly closed as he swallowed the water down his throat with a hint of coolness.

The teacup disappeared silently. Bai stood there, squinting his eyes slightly and staring at Aqiu who seemed to be motionless in front of him.

The fishing rod floated on the water, and ripples spread out, as if a fish in the water had taken the bait.

After a while, Ah Qiu's purple eyes slowly opened, the turbidity dissipated, leaving only clarity.
