Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 94

“Of course not me, it’s one of my few friends.” Yakumo Yukari sat down opposite Byakuya, gently tapping her thigh with one hand: “Unlike me, she is a youkai who survives by relying on the darkness hidden in the hearts of humans or youkai. You know the situation in Gensokyo now, it’s impossible to provide her with enough darkness.”

"That's true, but are you sure that's all there is to it?" Picking up the Seed of Corruption, abandoning his mental defenses, and listening to the whispers that seemed to have a mixed sound effect in his ear, Bai Ye yawned boredly after a while.

"How will we know if we don't try? There's a saying that goes... If we don't take action, we won't know the outcome?" Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes, making it impossible for Byakuya to read anything beyond "teasing" in her gaze.

All I can say is that this little monster really knows how to pick her timing. If there weren't Black Jeanne and the others around right now, and she dared to jump around like this, this chapter would already be listed on the erotic fiction website next door.

"So, Mr. Manager, are you free now? If you are, you can go and visit my old friend." Standing up from the sofa, Yukari Yakumo walked towards the store entrance, only turning back to wave to Byakuya just before leaving.

"...I actually really dislike guys like you who just say half of what they mean and leave the other half hanging." After giving Jeanne Alter a word of advice, Byakuya also got up and followed Yakumo Yukari.

……

As a place where gods, youkai, shrine maidens, and all sorts of strange beings coexist, and with a group of powerful youkai led by Yukari Yakumo imposing their prohibitions, coupled with the fact that the Human Village itself is not without resistance, the Human Village and its surrounding areas are quite lively during the day, with people coming and going. But at night...

"This environment is really a bit scary late at night, don't you think, manager?" Rubbing her arms, Yakumo Yukari breathed out as she looked at Byakuya, as if she had to find a topic to talk about.

white night:"……"

After staring at her for three seconds, Bai Ye's immortal power surged, radiating heat outwards.

Unlike the White Horse, one of the ten incarnations of Vereslana, which gains pure destructive power by harnessing the power of the sun, the "Eternal Sun God" obtained from Helios and enhanced by Bai Ye with billions of Origin Coins is more like transforming Bai Ye himself into the sun, such as shining and radiating heat like the sun... These are all basic operations.

Perhaps I am the legendary "warm man"?

Seeing Yakumo Yukari's expression suddenly stiffen, Byakuya shook his head slightly.

After following her around the magic forest and estimating the time, Bai Ye broke the tranquil atmosphere by asking, "How much longer until you see your friend?"

"You guys are so clueless. Walking around in the dark with a beautiful girl like me, isn't that a perfect opportunity for you men?" Yakumo Yukari glanced at Bai Ye's lower body and forced a wicked smile. "No need to rush, we've already found her. She's just ahead."

As she spoke, Yukari Yakumo led Byakuya through several turns and crossed a certain boundary line. Suddenly, Byakuya felt a darkness before his eyes.

Ok?

Activating the omnipotence of the All-Seeing One, his gaze pierced through the darkness and landed on Yakumo Yukari's face. Byakuya clicked his tongue.

They must have known what was going to happen all along, and they clearly wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, right?

Suddenly, a "thump" sound rang in his ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Bai Ye saw a blonde girl who had bumped her head into a tree and was now sitting in front of it, seemingly confused as to why she had bumped into the tree.

A few seconds later, she stood up as if nothing had happened, turned around, and bumped into another tree with a "thud".

"Actually, if you keep feeding on those lone humans in the Human Village, you won't be completely 'full,' but you should be able to maintain a minimum level of energy consumption. However, this will probably happen around the time you enter Gensokyo, not too long before or after..."

With a soft sigh, Yukari Yakumo raised her voice: "Rumia, come and eat."

"..."

Three seconds later, the blonde girl bit Yakumo Yukari's hand and began to chew it.

Chapter 232 "We'll talk about the sun later?"

-

"You're still laughing? You really want to help us drag this guy away?!" Seeing the smile on Bai Ye's face, Yakumo Yukari shook her arm up and down. Seeing that the little girl was still biting her tightly, she hesitated for a moment: "If possible, try not to hurt her."

"I think this is actually not bad. Anyway, her current power can't hurt you, so why not just keep her as an accessory?"

"..."

The gaze of a seventeen-year-old girl.

"Alright, alright, no more joking. Let's test if this Seed of Darkness will work on her." Suppressing his laughter, Bai Ye crushed the card with his index and middle fingers, took out the Seed of Darkness, and then held it up to the blonde girl.

Just like a starving cat smelling fish, almost the instant the Seed of Darkness was taken out, the blonde girl abandoned her hand, which she couldn't chew on, and instead stared longingly at Byakuya...

Yes, this was the method she came up with after several small jumps that failed to reach Bai Ye's raised hand.

"Stop messing around, just give it to her." Yakumo Yukari, who had been wiping the drool from her hands with a few tissues she'd somehow managed to pull out, glanced at Byakuya when she looked up and saw this.

"I suddenly think that raising a little girl like this wouldn't be bad, it would be quite fun."

He released his grip, letting the Seed of Darkness fall freely. Watching the little girl catch it almost instantly with her mouth open, then chew it with a satisfied expression, Bai Ye stroked his chin.

"Don't even think about it!" Yukari Yakumo refused outright.

"...My raising a loli has nothing to do with you, why are you so agitated?" Bai Ye looked at Yakumo Yukari suspiciously.

"Absolutely not!"

"..."

"Don't you understand yet? This is because some old woman who claimed to be seventeen years old a thousand years ago has taken a liking to you and doesn't want me to compete with her for a man, right, Yakumo... Yukari?" A lazy voice interrupted the eye contact between Byakuya and Yakumo Yukari.

Bai Ye turned his head to look at the person who spoke and raised an eyebrow.

Judging from the style of her clothes, it's not hard to tell that this blonde, long-legged, big-breasted girl is the same adorable, food-loving little girl who looked silly before... But what kind of operation is this transformation? Double the happiness?

learned.

Thinking about it carefully, this makes sense. How could someone as dark as Yukari Yakumo be friends with an idiot who keeps running into trees? The idiot's friend should be Cirno.

By the way, can Cirno also transform into a mature woman form like this guy?

While Byakuya was letting his thoughts wander as usual, Yakumo Yukari and the blonde woman who had transformed from a loli into a mature woman had almost come to blows after exchanging barbs. Judging from the tense atmosphere between the two women, it was clear that the word "friend" that Yakumo Yukari spoke of was not so genuine.

After a brief standoff, the blonde woman finally chose to retreat, glaring at Yakumo Yukari before turning and walking deeper into the forest.

"Consider this a debt I owe you, but don't expect me to thank you or anything. Back then... her matter isn't over yet!"

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

"So what exactly is going on here?" Bai Ye, who had expected a thrilling and dramatic showdown, shook his head in disappointment.

Is this the kind of novel that's all bark and no bite?

"Actually, before Gensokyo was established, our relationship with her wasn't quite... not as close as Yuyuko's, but it wouldn't be wrong to call her a friend. It's just that we drifted apart later due to differences in our ideals, until that accident that happened during the previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden's term..." Yakumo Yukari sighed, "I hope that the Seed of Darkness will help her hold on a little longer."

"If I'm not mistaken, she must have broken some kind of seal before... Even if she can't hold on any longer in this state, she should at least gain something by running around the Human Village. She can't possibly starve to death, can she?"

"It's not impossible," Yukari Yakumo said thoughtfully, gazing in the direction the blonde woman had gone. "If she were still sealed away, driven by instinct, she might still have attacked lone humans. But now that she's regained her senses, that's impossible. So... how much are these Dark Seeds worth in Origin Coins?"

"I see. So the reason you don't allow me to raise a loli is because you want to raise her yourself?" Bai Ye nodded. "I've learned something. Cheng Hui, each one costs one million Origin Coins. And why don't you pay for the one she just ate?"

"Tch~ What a greedy, stinky man." With a sneer, Yukari Yakumo took out a card and handed it to Byakuya: "Give us nine more, including the one we already ate. Let's see how often she needs to replenish her darkness."

"Ah."

With a slight exertion of force, Bai Ye extracted all ten million Origin Coins from the card. After confirming that nothing was missing, he replicated nine Dark Seeds and handed them to Yakumo Yukari.

"Alright, thanks for accompanying us on this trip, little shopkeeper. It's getting late, if there's nothing else, let's head back... Let go!" She had already jumped into the gap, but found that there was still a force dragging her body against gravity. Looking up at the situation above, Yukari Yakumo's lips twitched.

"I mean, has it been so long that you've forgotten something important... or do you need me to help you remember?"

"Young shopkeeper, it's always good to leave room for maneuver in the future..."

If you were to reply with "we'll talk about it later" at this point, wouldn't it seem very inappropriate?

Chapter 233: Carrying the "spoils of war" and running away.jpg

Although for a fleeting moment, Byakuya did have the urge to start his "scumbag" plan right now and take advantage of Yakumo Yukari's role as the Great Barrier Manager to begin the Gensokyo amusement park project, this urge came quickly and went even faster. Most of the time, Byakuya still had plenty of moral integrity left.

Without changing his expression, he withdrew his hand, ignoring Yakumo Yukari's strange gaze. Only after Bai Ye had asked her to leave him the coordinates of the Lost Home and a one-time gap did she let the seemingly frightened youkai leave...

Does he really look like a villain?

He summoned a water mirror to examine his face, but apart from being as handsome as ever, Bai Ye didn't find anything else.

I think I should go back to sleep first. It feels so cold outside in the wind... ugh?

Before he had taken two steps, Bai Ye suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a figure seemed to be hiding behind a tree not far away.

"Come out, I've seen you."

"..."

"Before you think that tree can block you out, please put on a breast wrap first, okay?" Looking at the two obviously protruding points behind the tree, Bai Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I really don't understand you women of 21's minds a lot. Whether it's dressing up as a man or hiding your whereabouts like this, it's like you're really worried that others can't see you."

It was fine when it wasn't discovered, but after he figured out what it was, he felt that the mysterious bulge was mocking his intelligence.

"I never imagined that your relationship with Yukari Yakumo would be even more interesting than I thought..."

After receiving Bai Ye's hint, the person hiding behind the tree glanced down and twitched their lips. They then gracefully stepped out from behind the tree and their scrutinizing gaze fell on Bai Ye: "Judging from how lovey-dovey you and Yakumo Yukari were just now, I wonder what interesting reaction she would have if you accidentally died here?"

"I think you might have misunderstood something?" Bai Ye looked at the woman whom Yakumo Yukari called Rumia with a puzzled expression.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you were Yakumo Yukari, and someone killed a guy who had a master-servant contract with you, you'd probably have to set off some fireworks at 2:30 in the morning to celebrate.

"Enough with the nonsense. I don't know what that guy sees in you, but a human is a human. Even if she discovers something's wrong, she can't get here before I deal with you!" Rumia licked her lips with her pink tongue, her gaze fixed on Bai Ye's chest. "And I'm very curious, what kind of taste does the man the famous sage of monsters have taken a liking to?"

white night:"……"

He was now certain that, perhaps because he was too far away or returned too late, this guy had definitely misunderstood his relationship with Yakumo Yukari, and had even imagined a whole bunch of random things.

As for Yakumo Yukari, who had already returned to the House of the Lost, she silently wrapped herself tightly in her small blanket and asked Yakumo Ran to bring her the sunflower seeds she had left over from last time... Kill, kill, it would be best to devour this calamity completely without leaving a single drop of blood. She felt that without him, she could live at least a thousand years longer!

Reflecting on the changes Byakuya had brought to this paradise since she entered Gensokyo, Yukari Yakumo hummed softly.

Leaving aside Yukari Yakumo, who had already decided not to show herself in front of Byakuya, just looking at the area outside the walls of the Human Village, after clearly expressing her killing intent towards Byakuya, Rumia let out a low shout, and a curtain of night quickly unfolded around her, instantly making Byakuya's vision extremely dark.

After activating his powers, Bai Ye looked at the hazy figure shrouded in thick darkness and scoffed in disgust.

As expected, even support roles must be taken seriously. When Rumia was still in her child form, Bai Ye was able to see through the darkness with the power of "All-Seeing". But now that the one making the move is Rumia in her mature form, this power is not enough. For his purpose, he can only roughly see Rumia's location.

brush--

A dark shadow drifted past Bai Ye, and as his attention was drawn to it, a hand with fingertips gleaming with a chilling, bloody light approached his heart from behind.

"Die! You didn't even notice an attack from behind. You really are just a gigolo she kept. I'd like to see if she cries even more bitterly than Reimu did after losing you!"

"You mean Reimu?" The hand that was tapping her neck turned slightly, gripping Rumia's wrist. Byakuya pointed in the direction of the Hakurei Shrine: "The shrine maiden inside that shrine over there?"

"You know her?" Rumia asked in surprise, then quickly nodded and began to answer her own question: "That's right, given your relationship with Yukari Yakumo, it's not surprising that you know about the existence of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, but knowing Reimu doesn't change... What?"

"You've been making things up from the beginning. I don't think I ever said I was a gigolo kept by Yakumo Yukari, did I?" Under Rumia's astonished gaze, after activating the "little golden man" form following the first baptism of the golden bloodline, Byakuya's blood instantly turned into a dazzling gold, and a golden light appeared in his pupils.

With a slight tremor, Bai Ye dispersed all the black energy binding him. With his other hand, he crushed a card and took out a pair of handcuffs from an unknown world. These handcuffs could suppress all the supernatural forces within a person being bound and cuffed them to Rumia.

"I don't know why you're targeting Yukari Yakumo like this, but it would be great if you knew Reimu. Going to the Hakurei Shrine so late at night could have a bad reputation if word got out, so why don't you come back with me for the night..." Noticing the change in Rumia's gaze, Shiroya thought for a moment, then slapped her forehead with a karate chop with a dark face: "What are you thinking? Even if I'm desperate, I wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on you. Keep your mind to yourself. As long as you don't cause any trouble, I guarantee your clothes won't be damaged at all by tomorrow morning!"

"It's like you can't do anything without taking your clothes off..."

"Shut up!"

A triple chop!

Carrying Rumia, who was powerless to resist in his current state, Bai Ye hummed a little tune as he walked towards the Dimensional Shop.

Chapter 234 Esdeath, whom we haven't seen in a long time

When Bai Ye carried Rumia back to the Dimensional Shop, he almost made a fool of himself, since it was already night and he had gone out to carry back a beautiful woman who was unconscious...

Not to mention that the guy carrying a woman back was her own man.

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ye still had a decent amount of integrity left with Black Jeanne, she probably would have already drawn her sword and slashed her—of course, the one who would have been slashed would have been Rumia, whom Bai Ye had put down; someone wouldn't have been willing to slash Bai Ye.

So the next morning, after opening the door, Byakuya dragged Rumia to the Hakurei Shrine.

Although the shrine was as deserted as ever, Reimu's daily routine as a shrine maiden was surprisingly regular. When Byakuya arrived, she was already sweeping the ground in front of the shrine with a broom.

Upon seeing Byakuya, Reimu stopped sweeping, leaning on her broom as she looked at him: "What brings you here?"

“Last night I encountered a guy who inexplicably ambushed me. He seemed to have a lot of grudges against Yukari Yakumo, and it seems he knows you too… I figured it would be simpler to just send him here.”

"You know me?" He turned to look at Rumia. "Are you sure you're not joking? I don't remember knowing anyone like that."

"Hmm...?" Bai Ye also looked at Rumia, waiting for an explanation.

"Um... well... I..."

Did they even tamper with Reimu's memories? That's typical of a sage of youkai, leaving no "hidden dangers" behind.

"Since we don't know each other, then I'll have to bother you~" Seeing Rumia's hesitant manner, Bai Ye guessed that there might be some inside story he didn't know. He shook his head, threw some money into the money box, and then prepared to leave with Rumia.

"and many more……"

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye turned around and looked at Ling Meng, who had suddenly called out to him.
