Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me.

The monster's footsteps are getting closer.

Is the crying too loud?

That’s good, this way I don’t have to be afraid anymore and struggle to survive.

The boy closed his eyes and let himself sink into the depths of darkness.

[Notice. Acquired the inherent skill Great Sage]

[Notice. Acquired the inherent skill Predator]

[Because Bai Luo is in danger, the Great Sage will temporarily take charge of the operation.]

As a female voice full of mechanical texture sounded, his eyes slowly opened uncontrollably.

In front of me is a ferocious-looking spider.

It had two wings as thick as bone spurs on its back, and its head was covered with densely packed eyes staring at him, obviously having discovered him.

Suddenly, his body lost control and without waiting for his reaction, he stood up and rushed towards the spider!

Is it because of the sound just now?

The boy didn't know, but he still felt it was impossible to win.

An ordinary slime.

How is it possible to defeat such a monster?

However, everything that happened next completely overturned his cognition.

The blue figure was like lightning.

He quickly shuttled through the narrow alleys and kept attacking the monsters, but even if the monsters waved their sharp tentacles, it was of no use.

At last.

The spider screamed and fell down, and her head was crushed by her slime.

[Use Predator Skills]

As she finished her voice, the spider's body was swallowed by a giant web made of blue liquid and disappeared without a trace.

[Information. Giant Lion Spider analysis successful.]

[Gain the skill Resilience Spider Web]

[Gain skill deterrence]

[Gain a significant improvement in physical attributes]

Body control is back.

The boy said blankly: "Who are you?"

[I'm here to tell you. I'm your unique skill, the Great Sage. I'll coexist with you from now on.]

"Great Sage..."

He murmured the strange name again, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Great Sage, will you always stay with me?"

[Yes, the Great Sage will always be with Bai Luo]

After getting a positive answer.

I couldn't hold back any more tears and they welled up in my eyes.

The boy burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness, grievances and pain that he had accumulated over the years.

As I was crying, a beautiful melody sounded...

The world seemed to quiet down.

Only this pure, clean sound remains.

Lullaby?

He didn't know where it came from, but he heard it—

"Great Sage, from now on... from now on, no matter what happens, you must stay with me and don't leave me alone!"

The boy gave the order with a choked voice.

【learn】

……

The memory stayed at this moment.

The boy is him.

He is Bai Luo...

So this crying sound is the voice of the great sage?

Why did the great sage cry?

Gensokyo, Yakumo Yukari, Umbrella...

The broken memories are gradually pieced together, strange yet familiar faces emerge, and finally converge into a familiar yet strange picture.

I remembered.

But shouldn't I be dead already?

Moreover, according to the agreement, shouldn't the Great Sage live on in Gensokyo as an independent individual through his clone?

Bai Luo didn't understand and couldn't comprehend it.

But none of that matters anymore.

The great sage is crying.

This shouldn't be the case. A great sage shouldn't cry.

His consciousness became clearer and clearer, and his obsession urged him to wake up as soon as possible.

He tried to open his eyes.

His eyelids felt heavy, as if they were weighed down by a thousand-pound stone. Bai Luo used all his strength and finally managed to open them a tiny gap.

My vision gradually became clearer.

White ceiling.

Roll your eyes and look to the side.

The great sage sat at the end of the bed, with crystal tears in the corners of his eyes and his nose red from crying. His whole body exuded grievance and helplessness, which made people feel particularly distressed.

She was crying and shaking.

Bai Luo was stunned and wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but found that he could not move at all.

He focused his control over the cells on his lips and hummed softly.

The great sage stopped crying.

joy.

There is trembling after joy.

Then, the great sage cried even harder, like a little animal, his voice sobbing, tears bursting out, unable to stop.

"...I know...I know...but you also gave me orders before. From now on, no matter what, I must always stay with you and never leave you alone."

Chapter 2: Being picked up? Skill evolution!

This was the first time Bai Luo saw the great sage cry.

He comforted her for a long time before he finally made her stop crying.

The Great Sage kept apologizing.

Apologize for disobeying orders.

But Bai Luo knew that she had kept her promise.

After regaining some mobility, Bai Luo gently touched her head, like comforting a child.

He hummed the ballad.

Just like the great sage comforted him at the beginning.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

The great sage finally calmed down.

But before Bai Luo could speak, she cancelled her control over the clone and let it merge back into her original body.

"Tsk."

Bai Luo tutted his words, then teased, "Great Sage, you're shy, right? Absolutely."

The Great Sage did not respond to him, but instead reported the current situation—

[Notice. The evolution value has reached 100%, Bai Luo has advanced 45%, it is recommended to complete the remaining 55%]

"Is the evolution value 100%?"

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he should be dead now.

[Because the Slime Magic Crystal happened to be analyzed, the remaining evolution value was replenished]

"Slime Magic Crystal?"

"Have I ever devoured this thing?"

Bai Luo was even more confused. Why didn't he remember swallowing this slime magic crystal?

There is no such species as slime in this world.

I thought about it for a long time.

Bai Luo still had no clue.

Could it be that the memory has not been fully restored?

[Reminder. After completing the registration at Hieda Aqiu's registration office, on the way back to the Happy House]

The Great Sage replayed the scene in his mind.

a rock.

I remembered!

At that time, he thought it looked like an ordinary stone, but the great sage said it was a precious stone!

As if realizing something, Bai Luo couldn't help but take a breath:

"...Slime Magic Crystal? Are there other slimes in Gensokyo? Back then, the evolution value was nearly ten points short. How could this thing add so much evolution value? Could it be that one of our predecessors also traveled through time and became a slime?"

Bai Luo guessed, then shook his head to reject it.

There is no record of slimes in Gensokyo, and even the outside world has only learned about them from games in recent years.

Just when Bai Luo was puzzled, the great sage gave the answer -

[After analysis, the magic energy in the slime magic crystal is almost the same as that of Bai Luo's individual]

"like me?"

Bai Luo's eyes widened.

[Correct answer. Preliminary judgment: this was left by Bai Luo from the future.]

As the great sage spoke, Bai Luo put his hands on his hips and laughed.

"As expected of me, I actually used this trick. I knew I wouldn't die so easily."

Although he didn't understand how his future self would do it, Bai Luo still proudly praised himself.
