Gensokyo, I, the slime, made them regret for the rest of their lives

"Ah."

"Lend me your stick of repentance."

"Ah."

Shiki Yingji nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized something was wrong the next moment. She shook her head repeatedly and her tone suddenly became stern.

"No! The Rod of Repentance is Yama's tool of judgment and cannot be lent to anyone casually."

"It's not random, this is my request, and didn't you just agree to it..."

Bai Luo showed an aggrieved expression.

"But...but this is public property."

Seeing that Shiki Yingji had relaxed a little, Bai Luo continued.

"Strictly speaking, this isn't a public possession. It's your exclusive weapon as Yama. Think about it, did the previous king Yama and his companions have something like a repentance stick? No, right? And you've forgotten the token you gave me, haven't you? I'm also a public servant, so giving it to me isn't against the rules."

Shiki Eiji was bewildered by Bai Luo's series of attacks. He pressed on, taking advantage of the victory.

"And you don't need the rod of repentance in your trials now, do you? You use that mirror to see people's sins, then have them taken away and punished. At most, you use the rod of repentance to knock on the table or pat the board. I'll give you this. This one is more effective for knocking on the table."

As he spoke, Bai Luo handed over a blue transparent hammer.

Shiki Yingji's eyebrows twitched slightly, she bit her lip, and finally let go.

“Yes, but you have to follow the process.”

As long as the procedures are followed, it is not considered a violation, at least that is what Shiki Eiji thinks.

"it is good."

Bai Luo agreed, then stretched out his hand and said seriously.

"Lady Shiki Eiji, I request that you use your rod of repentance for one week."

Looking at Bai Luo who was reaching out to her like a demon, Shiki Yingji didn't react for a moment, and three big question marks popped up in her head.

“Is this the process?”

she asked subconsciously.

"of course."

Bai Luo nodded firmly.

"...How can you apply like this! You should..."

Shiki Yingji explained the application process in detail, and Bai Luo felt overwhelmed.

Just babble a lot and all your troubles will be over.

"How can this be the same? Shiki, let me ask you, what was the process for applying for the repentance stick before?"

Bai Luo asked back.

"There is no process, and no one has ever applied for the penance stick before."

When Shiki Yingji said this, a hint of resentment appeared on her face. After so many years of existence in the underworld, Bai Luo was the first person to apply to borrow the stick of repentance.

"Isn't that right? Since there's no application and no process, shouldn't we just decide the process ourselves? Can't I just formally apply to you now? You can keep your records later."

“How can this be possible…”

Shiki Eiji was a little hesitant.

"Why not? Think about it, there's no process for applying for the Rod of Repentance, and my position isn't controlled by anyone except you. Not only are you the holder of the Rod of Repentance, but you're also the most powerful King of Hell. So, it's right for me to apply to you, right? Do I have to go through all the necessary steps and finally submit my application to you? Wouldn't that be deliberately making things more complicated and increasing my workload? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

Bai Luo analyzed the situation seriously to Shiki Yingji, who was actually frightened by Bai Luo for a moment and felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.

"Then... just one week. You must definitely return it to me after one week."

Shiki Yingji finally gave in, took out the stick of repentance and handed it over.

"Yeah, I love you so much."

Bai Luo immediately took the stick of repentance and looked it up and down excitedly.

Looking at Bai Luo who was hitting left and right with the stick of repentance, Shiki Yingji couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't knock people casually."

Return to Gensokyo: Chapter 176: Bringing Four Seasons to Gensokyo

"How is that possible? Do I look like that kind of person?"

Bai Luo yelled in dissatisfaction.

Shiki Yingji did not answer, but just looked at him with a subtle look.

Sometimes, silence is also an answer.

Bai Luo, who was hit hard by the silence, glared at King Yanluo and slapped the table with a hint of anger in his tone.

"I won't tell you anymore, let's go."

"Are you leaving?"

Shiki Yingji did not try to keep him, but from the way she bit her lips, it could be seen that she actually did not want Bai Luo to leave so soon.

"It's not me, it's us."

After Bai Luo finished speaking, he opened a gap, grabbed Shiki Yingji's hand and walked in. For his sake, Shiki rarely had to work overtime, so he couldn't just stand her up like that.

When the two reappeared, they were already in the Happy House. Bai Luo turned around and was about to say something, but he found that Shiki Yingji's face was already red.

"four seasons."

Bai Luo called out, but Shiki Yingji was lost in thought, her mind wandering.

"Four Seasons! Stop staring blankly!"

This time, Bai Luo raised his voice, and Shiki Yingji finally came to her senses.

"I, I was just thinking about work."

She stammered, her tone hinting at the fact that she was trying to cover up her mistake.

"Well, Shiki, can you let go of my hand first?"

Bai Luo asked tentatively.

Originally he was holding her hand, but now she was holding it tightly, with such force that it seemed as if it was welded to her hand.

When Shiki Yingji heard Bai Luo's words, she realized that she had been holding his hand tightly. She quickly let go and took two steps back, her face becoming even redder.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Bai Luo took the lead in breaking the deadlock and found a topic: "What do you usually do after get off work or on vacation?"

"Read the reports they submit, or go to the site to see how well they do their work."

Shiki Eiji hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Um..."

Bai Luo even forgot that Shiki Yingji is an out-and-out workaholic.

If Patchouli reads all day long, then Shiki Eiji is busy working all day long. Even after get off work, she is still working.

"So what are your hobbies?"

Bai Luo regretted it the moment he asked.

After all, how can people who don’t even have time for entertainment have free time to develop hobbies?

"Have."

"No either... Hmm? Do you have any hobbies?"

"What's wrong with this?"

Shiki Yingji shrank her neck. She felt a hint of offense in the other person's golden eyes.

"no problem."

Bai Luo shook his head and then asked tentatively, "The hobbies you mentioned aren't about preaching, are they?"

Shiki Yingji finally understood where this inexplicable feeling of being offended came from. She subconsciously wanted to take out the stick of repentance, but found that her pockets were empty. She could only wave her fists angrily.

"How is that possible! Who's hobby would be preaching?"

"How can it be impossible? As the saying goes, there are many wonders in the world. You can't deny it just because you haven't seen it."

Bai Luo said this with a serious face.

Shiki Yingji actually felt that what he said made sense. She wanted to open her mouth to refute him, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only turn sideways, with her back to Bai Luo, and mutter to herself.

"Anyway, my hobbies aren't preaching."

Seeing that Shiki Yingji was really getting depressed, Bai Luo stopped teasing her and asked again.

"So, Si Ji, what are your hobbies?"

His golden eyes were full of curiosity. Bai Luo really wanted to know what the mighty King Yanluo, an existence avoided by all the monsters in Gensokyo, would be particularly interested in.

"Grow vegetables."

"Um...?"

Now it was Bai Luo's turn to have a question mark on his head. He looked at Shiki Yingji with a look that seemed to say, "Are you serious?"

"When you say growing vegetables... do you mean growing vegetables in the soil?"

Bai Luo couldn't help but confirm.

"What else can we grow vegetables in if not in the soil?"

Shiki Eiji was confused by this strange question and asked back.

"fine."

Bai Luo smiled awkwardly. He had considered many possibilities.

Drawing, singing, frying shrimps, and even thinking that Shiki Eiji's hobby is to hit Komachi on the head with the stick of repentance, but I never expected it to be farming.

This sense of disharmony is too strong.

"Yan Mo didn't stipulate that farming is prohibited, and I think farming is a very meaningful thing."

Seeing Bai Luo's surprised expression, Shiki Yingji explained seriously.

“Isn’t it wonderful to watch seeds sprout from the soil, grow slowly, and eventually bear fruit? Under your own careful care, you can reap the fruits of your labor.”

"That's good. I usually plant it."

Bai Luo felt it was incredible only because farming was too out of character for Shiki Yingji. He didn't think there was anything wrong with farming, after all, he also liked farming.

This impulse is engraved in our genes and deep in our souls.

Of course, now it has been handed over to the Great Sage to achieve fully automated production.

Hearing this, Shiki Yingji's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to ask, Bai Luo shouted into the house.

"Little Green Tree!"

Almost at the moment the words fell, the soil on the ground began to wriggle, and several vines quickly emerged, condensing into the shape of a young girl in the blink of an eye.

"Master, master~"

Shu Xiaolu buried his face in Bai Luo, and several vines had already wrapped around his thighs.

"Master, where have you been? Xiaolu misses you so much! Master, do you want to eat some cherry blossom cake? Xiaolu made a cherry blossom cake with the best cherry blossoms today!"

If Tree Little Green had a tail, it would probably be flying by now.

As Shu Xiaolu's transformation time got longer, her movements, which had originally seemed a bit clumsy due to her premature transformation, had completely disappeared.

Now, she is able to handle some basic housework skillfully, such as watering flowers and plants.

As a plant monster, she is naturally able to sense the needs of plants, and taking care of crops is a piece of cake for her.

On weekdays, she would also learn cooking from the great sage. Every time she learned a new dish, she would run to Bai Luo to taste it and ask for praise.

"Is this a plant monster?"

Shiki Eiji's voice suddenly rang out.
