Kaguya could only sigh slightly, straightened her clothes, and placed her hand on the door handle.

Click.

The door opens.

The rabbit-eared girl Suzusen, with a troubled face, appeared in front of Kaguya.

"Good evening, Princess..."

Lingxian bowed slightly:

"It's really urgent, so I have no choice but to disturb you."

"The master's latest batch of potions was stolen, and I'm almost certain it was that guy Di who did it."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find her. Plus, that batch of potions is extremely dangerous, so I came to ask you... Eh?"

Halfway through.

Lingxian suddenly blinked in confusion:

"Your Highness, is there anyone else in your room?"

Chapter 55: Kaguya hasn’t slept yet? Kaguya: Ah, yes, yes.

"No."

Facing Lingxian's doubts.

Kaguya replied almost instantly:

"Why do you think there's someone in my room?"

"Because... I always feel that there are strange fluctuations in the room."

Lingxian scratched her head in confusion.

Her ability is to manipulate wavelengths, and her perception of subtle details is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

But in Kaguya's bedroom, she sensed some subtle differences.

However, before she could investigate carefully, this subtle abnormality disappeared, and it seemed as if Kaguya was the only one left in the room.

"Why, do you think there is someone else hiding in my room?"

Kaguya took the initiative to speak, interrupting her exploration:

"Would I, like in a shojo comic, secretly keep a man in my room for fun?"

"No, no, I absolutely do not have such rude thoughts!"

Lingxian waved her hands repeatedly to explain:

"I'm just afraid that guy Di will hide in your room..."

"Don't worry, she's not here."

Kaguya analyzed rationally:

"Instead of wandering around here, you should think about the most unlikely place for her to hide."

"Because in detective novels, clever criminals often use reverse thinking to hide."

Lingxian listened and her eyes lit up:

"The most unlikely hiding place? Thinking in reverse?"

"I see, thank you Princess!"

"You're welcome. Goodbye."

After driving the rabbit-eared girl away.

Kaguya looked around to make sure no one was paying attention.

She then locked the door again and waved towards the bottom of the bed.

"Come out, come out, the person has already left."

"……Scared me."

Chu Bai then stuck his head out, breathing slightly heavily.

In order to avoid Lingxian's detection, he just used a skill that consumed a lot of energy.

It was a magic called "Void Concealment." Once activated, his body would instantly enter a hollow state.

Not only is it immune to physical attacks, but even its sense of existence will be greatly weakened, thus avoiding the perception of others.

This was one of Chu Bai's life-saving trump cards. When he faced Fran's attack in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, he had subconsciously used this move.

However, continuous casting of spells would cause great loss of energy. Now his legs were shaking and he was exhausted.

"Woo wow, you're so weak."

Kaguya couldn't help but complain:

"I only lasted less than three minutes before I became completely exhausted and powerless, looking like I'd been squeezed dry..."

"Don't tell dirty jokes as if nothing happened!"

Chu Baixu narrowed his eyes:

"Besides, Void Concealment consumes a lot of magic power. I'm already pretty impressive that I can hold on until that rabbit leaves!"

As he said that, he began to pack up his things.

Not only did he turn off the computer, he even put a CD into his pocket.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Kaguya quickly stopped him:

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm going home."

Chu Bai said as a matter of course:

"I was almost discovered just now. You don't want to keep me here any longer, do you?"

"Hey, don't go. Play with me for a while."

Kaguya showed a confident expression:

"Lingxian was just an accident. It was because Di was causing trouble that she came knocking on the door."

"Apart from her, no one else would have the courage to come to me late at night!"

Chu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth:

"...I feel like you've set a rather subtle flag."

Kaguya was already sitting in front of the computer.

She turned on the screen again and gave Chu Bai a seductive look:

"Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end."

"Come on, let's have some fun before Yonglin comes home, or I'll take back that Sun Secret Treasure."

Faced with Kaguya's coercion and inducement, Chu Bai had no choice but to sit back with a melancholy look on his face:

"It seems that I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman tonight."

"But if someone knocks on the door again, I won't be able to evade it by using the Lightning technique. You must remember this."

Kaguya waved her hands repeatedly:

"Don't worry, others don't have the same detection ability as Lingxian, and no one else will come tonight."

"If anyone knocks on the door again tonight, I'm going to eat this computer screen!"

dong dong dong.

The words have not yet fallen.

The familiar knock on the door sounded again.

Chu Bai: "..."

Kaguya: "..."

Chu Bai: "Stare..."

Kaguya: “(Guilty)”

Sighed.

Chu Bai silently crawled back under the bed.

Kaguya covered her face and clenched her fists, ready to see who was so bold as to disturb her plans so late at night.

But after opening the door, Kaguya was stunned when she saw the little blonde girl standing in front of her:

"Huh? Are you the poisonous doll from the nameless hill?"

"I remember your name seemed to be...Medicine?"

……

……

Medixin.Melankoxin.

She is an abandoned doll on a nameless hill, and she was born with intelligence not long ago.

Although she was born in a way that is very similar to that of a Fusangshen like Qin Xin, her race is actually a monster, and a very ferocious monster at that.

She once had great malice towards humans, and with her ability to manipulate toxins, she caused a lot of trouble in Gensokyo.

It was not until after Shiki Eiji's preaching that she gradually came to her senses and re-examined her relationship with everyone.

As for now, her job is to provide poison to Yonglin, so she can naturally enter and leave Yongting at will.

After roughly recalling the information about the other party, Kaguya forced herself to suppress the resentment in her heart and revealed her usual calm and elegant expression:

"What's wrong, Medixin? What's the matter with you looking for me so late at night?"

Medixin lowered her head slightly, looking a little uneasy:

"A batch of Yonglin's medicine was stolen. That batch of medicine is very dangerous because it was mixed with my lily of the valley poison."

"But I couldn't find Yonglin, so I had to come to you to report..."

Kaguya suddenly understood.

She and Suzusen were talking about the same thing, both of which were thefts caused by Emperor Inaba.

Thinking of this, faint blue veins appeared on Kaguya's forehead, and her fists under her sleeves were clenched tightly.

It's you again, Emperor Inaba.

Although you didn't show up directly, you have already indirectly interrupted me twice tonight!

Don't let me see you, or I'll pull your ears off!

Cursing the pretentious rabbit in her heart, Kaguya still wore the elegant smile that only a princess could wear:

"It's okay, don't worry, Lingxian has already taken care of it."

"But it's mixed with my lily of the valley poison..."

Medixin was still a little uneasy, and Kaguya gently touched her head:

"Don't worry, Yonglin can make a miracle drug out of the wild grass on the roadside, and can also make poison into a tonic."

"Besides, Yonglin wouldn't leave truly dangerous medicine where it could be easily obtained."

"Go and rest now. Don't you still wish to free all the puppets? You won't be able to achieve it if you don't rest well, okay?"

Like a gentle mother, Kaguya spoke in a loving voice.

Medixin finally pulled herself together, bowed slightly to Kaguya, and left the room.
