The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Oh……"

Although it was still an escape like before, the succubus's escape this time, thanks to Shi Bai's generous sponsorship, was undoubtedly much more comfortable than the last time.

But for the succubus herself, the most important thing was that she no longer had to worry about her sister's safety all the time; everything else was secondary.

(So ​​far, I haven't found the thing the teacher mentioned anywhere I've been. I need to expand the search area... If it's not in the area ruled by the monsters, could it be in the area ruled by the gods?)

While quietly eating her instant noodles, the succubus pondered silently in her mind.

(But as time goes by, and as word gets out about my rapidly increasing strength and the strange magic I've mastered, it will eventually attract the attention of those great demons or powerful gods... I have to speed things up and finish everything before those great demons can react...)

P.S.: The second update might be very late.

Chapter Forty: The Overlap of Black and White

This is an era of gods and monsters.

Hatred is the theme song of this era, and war is its main melody. The struggle between the two races never stops.

Hatred will never disappear; it will only accumulate with the arrival of death. And the so-called peace may only exist in a vague dream.

...No one knows exactly how many years the war has lasted.

In this incredibly chaotic era, having a quiet place to live is a dream come true. And without a doubt, a certain future Yama King who has experienced such a life of wandering firsthand cherishes the present moment even more.

After Shi Bai's guidance, she stopped hiding away and sitting in a daze. However, Shi Bai noticed that this little girl seemed to have picked up a bad habit...

"Brother, you should wash your hands before eating."

A little girl earnestly tugged at his clothes and pulled him away from the table.

"If you don't wash your hands before eating, germs can easily enter your mouth, which can lead to various diseases."

"........."

......................................................

"Brother, you can't be a picky eater."

A little girl earnestly picked up a large piece of his least favorite celery and placed it in his bowl.

"Celery is rich in various vitamins, and eating more of it is good for your health. Brother, you should eat more of it."

"........."

......................................................

"Brother, you need to exercise more."

A little girl with a serious expression pulled him outside into the sunlight.

"Sitting at a desk for long periods of time can easily lead to a series of diseases such as cervical spondylosis, while getting more sun exposure is good for your health."

"........."

......................................................

It was as if he had turned on a switch on this little girl. In this short period of time, some of the minor flaws he had accumulated due to his immortality were forcibly corrected by her.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Shi Bai could only remain silent and smile as he confronted it.

After all, he had worked very hard to help the other person out of their near-reclusive state. If the other person went back to that state because of his lack of cooperation, then what was the point of his previous careful conversation?

Although I told her that the way to relieve loneliness is to find someone to talk to, why did she only ask me? There's Yagokoro Eirin in the bamboo forest... um...

After silently reflecting on Eirin Yagokoro's daily life and finding no faults or problems to criticize, Shibai looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Even if he really wanted to find fault with Eirin Yagokoro, he found that he couldn't.

After all, even minor issues like occasionally adding sodium cyanide as salt in the beginning are now rare, and people's cooking skills have even subtly improved...

...So, I guess I've already gotten a taste of the treatment a certain NEET princess receives ahead of time? Maybe I can try asking her for some training fees later...

Standing in the sun, arms crossed and chin in hand, Shi Bai looked thoughtful.

After all, a dignified Moon Sage and Moon Princess were able to escape on Earth for over a thousand years. This Moon Sage was also able to raise the princess into a shut-in. He must have had exceptional cooking skills and the ability to take care of others... Perhaps he developed these skills during this time?

So, if that's the case, then Eirin Yagokoro's skill in taking care of people in the future Eientei must have been maxed out, perhaps even comparable to or surpassing a certain perfectly dashing Pad-like character in the Crimson Mansion...

Just as Shiro was nodding to himself because he had discovered that Eirin Yagokoro might have some hidden maid-like qualities, Eirin Yagokoro walked towards him with a large stack of papers in her hands.

"Teacher, this is the homework you left for me."

Yagokoro Eirin handed him the stack of papers in her hand and said this.

Eirin Yagokoro's progress in learning medical skills can be described as rapid, a pace that even Shibai himself finds a bit frightening.

The learning schedule he prepared for the other party for a year was completely digested and adapted by the other party in just three months, which is nothing short of terrifying learning speed.

Let me use a simple analogy. For example, if an ordinary person wants to take the college entrance examination, they first need to go through six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school, totaling twelve years, before they can cross this narrow bridge.

As for Yagokoro Eirin taking the college entrance exam, judging from the content required for the exam... she would probably only need to study for one day.

Therefore, as the teacher of such a genius, Shi Bai always felt immense pressure at times.

"Also, this is a fitness method I designed specifically for teachers because I observed that their work and rest schedules are really irregular and they don't care about their health."

She pulled out a stack of papers from somewhere and began to speak to him very seriously.

"This fitness method was designed by me after combining various materials and my own medical knowledge. According to the test, it has great effect and can perfectly improve your health."

"Uh……"

His gaze unconsciously drifted to the green-haired loli beside him, who was nonchalantly pretending to look at the scenery around her. With a very ominous premonition in his heart, Shi Bai took the stack of papers from Yagokoro Eirin's hand.

After reading through all the contents of the stack of papers, the person fell into a very strange silence.

"...Yagi, may I ask what the name of this fitness method you designed is?"

"Eight-Point Fitness Exercises"

Eirin Yagokoro answered without hesitation.

"Don't worry, teacher. This set of exercises can be said to be the highest embodiment of my medical skills so far. If you do this set of exercises regularly, it can effectively improve and enhance your physical fitness."

"...Where did the inspiration for designing this Eight-Point Exercise come from?"

"Teacher, the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics that you made and tried to teach us a few days ago, I have made some slight modifications to that set of gymnastics."

"........."

"……teacher?"

"Ahem, Hachiko, thank you for your kindness, teacher."

Shi Bai coughed a few times, his fist clenched to his lips, his expression earnest.

"Actually, I think we've all put the cart before the horse. If we want to be healthy, we can't just stay cooped up in the bamboo forest every day. We need to go out and walk around more often. After all, life is about movement. Let's go on a trip and go for a spring outing tomorrow."

"Hmm... Teacher, you're right."

After thinking for a moment, Yagokoro Eirin nodded thoughtfully.

"Ahem, so, I suggest you keep this set of Eight Intents Exercises and improve it later, since it will come in handy sometime, won't it?"

Shi Bai handed the stack of papers back to Yagokoro Eirin, a slight smile on his face, concealing his accomplishment.

"If, someday, you happen to have a NEET-hime who always stays at home and refuses to go out, you could teach her this Yagokoro fitness routine~"

"It's a mix of black and white again..."

Turning her head, a certain little girl standing to the side muttered something under her breath, clearly dissatisfied.

P.S.: I'll pay back the five tickets I owe as a reward before the new year.

Chapter 41 Eientei

In certain matters, Shi Bai is always a man of action.

After making the decision to go on a picnic together, the green-haired loli was speechless to find the next morning that the person who usually slept until noon and only got up when she had to call him was up early in the morning and was now fiddling with something in the clearing in the bamboo forest.

The once empty and clean open space was now cluttered with a large pile of items she couldn't name, and Shi Bai was standing among them, busy setting something up.

After tilting her head and looking at it curiously for a while, the little girl stepped forward.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Hmm? I'm creating a town portal."

Upon hearing the voice, Shi Bai turned around and smiled at the little girl behind him.

"I've already made breakfast, go and eat first... I'll give you a surprise later."

"Well……"

After thinking for a moment, the little girl ran to the kitchen.

During the months she spent in the bamboo forest, she didn't do nothing. For example, she learned cooking from Sister Yonglin... Although she didn't know why, after she cooked once, her brothers wouldn't let her near the kitchen.

...Even though my brother ate all the food I made by himself. If he could finish it all, it must have been really delicious, right?

—That's what a certain little girl was thinking.

To be honest, the months she spent living in the bamboo forest were the happiest time of her life.

Sometimes, she was genuinely afraid that she would wake up one day to find that all those days had been nothing but a beautiful dream. It was precisely because she knew this that she cherished her current life even more.

...It would be even better if my sister were here too.

Although she didn't know why her sister insisted on leaving the bamboo forest alone, she figured her sister's departure must be related to her. And all she could do now was try her best not to worry her sister or anyone else.

Just like my brother said, my sister will come back someday, and then we'll all live happily together, leading a carefree and happy life... Will it happen? Such a wonderful life...

Sitting under the eaves, swinging her legs, and gazing absently at the dappled sunlight filtering through the bamboo grove, the little girl was lost in endless daydreams about the future.

—A future little Yama King sits under a small eave, and a small wish sprouts in his little heart at this moment.

............................................................

"Phew...it's finally done."

About fifteen minutes later, Shi Bai put down the items in his hands, looked at the small pavilion that was finally completed in front of him, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and gently exhaled.

While setting up this fixed-point teleportation return system, which he obtained through summoning, wasn't particularly difficult, the process of setting it up was extremely tedious.

After finally finding it among a huge pile of hidden items, he spent almost several months summoning the other necessary parts one by one, which shows how complicated the system is.

Although this system is complicated to set up, once it is set up, it will not have any major problems for the next few decades, hundreds or even thousands of years. It can be considered a one-time solution and can be considered worth the price of admission.

To be honest, the system's summoning function is basically the function he uses most often. Relying on his own talent [True Luck], he can influence the items he summons to a certain extent, but this degree of luck is relative; otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned so many deadly SCP containment objects in the first place...

The items he summons can also be used as summoned objects and then put back in for a second summoning, but their value will be slightly reduced.

For example, he once had a sudden inspiration and stuffed a large piece of pure gold weighing at least a hundred pounds into it. After repeatedly summoning it nearly a thousand times... on the last attempt, he successfully obtained a 1.5 yuan coin.

Unfortunately, this reduction in assessed value is useless for some items.

For example, those SCPs whose existence is inherently illogical are practically impossible to replace using this method. In fact, it would only lead to an increase in dangerous anomalous items. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept those extremely dangerous things in the system's storage space.

Fortunately, as the essence of the Eastern God Clan and the culmination of all its inheritance, the system's storage space is extremely safe. Unless he himself is courting death and wants to release those things, those dangerous items cannot possibly appear in this world.

Having learned his lesson after that experience, he became much more cautious and careful when it came to summoning items... Otherwise, things would get really messed up if he accidentally summoned a part of Cthulhu or an ancient evil god.

Although he felt he could handle it now...

His immortality is true immortality.

After dying and being resurrected, he will clear all harmful statuses from himself, while he can choose to retain or remove other beneficial statuses as appropriate. Furthermore, due to the mental resistance that comes with immortality, it reaches a maximum level, making it truly difficult to die even if one wants to.

Actually, it's understandable when you think about it. If an immortal being could break down and go crazy due to mental reasons, turning into a mad, immortal monster, then it couldn't be called immortal at all.

"Teacher, what is the purpose of this pavilion?"

Standing quietly to the side, Yagokoro Eirin only spoke up to ask questions after Shi Bai finished setting up the thing in front of her and casually handed her a towel that had been prepared beforehand.

"This pavilion... um..."

After wiping himself with the towel handed to him by Yagokoro Eirin, Shibai turned around and answered Yagokoro Eirin in a serious manner after thinking for a moment.

"Ahem... That's right, the name of this pavilion is Eien-tei (Eternal Pavilion)."
