Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 73

"Hmm...that's about right, but the two of them are mainly looking for their teacher." Bai Ye nodded: "It just so happens that their teacher is also in Gensokyo."

"So it's still because of Yukari Yakumo." Kanako Yasaka seemed to harbor a lot of resentment towards Yukari Yakumo, and without hesitation, she pinned the blame that should have been on Eirin and Kaguya on Yukari Yakumo. Then she looked Byakuya up and down: "Although I haven't actually seen them, I have a feeling that even if I were in my prime, I probably wouldn't have an easy time against them. Judging from that, you're not bad, buddy."

"...Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you guys. Are you adapting well to the environment in Gensokyo?"

After giving Bai Ye a strange look for a while, Yasaka Kanako looked at him in surprise: "I thought you were just a middleman that Yakumo Yukari brought in to ease the tension between us and her, and that everything would be fine after you brought us in. I didn't expect there to be after-sales service?"

"Why do I feel like turning around and leaving after hearing what you said?" Bai Ye was speechless at Kanako's words: "I just thought that since I brought the three of you here, it would be a bit inappropriate to leave you here unattended. After all, although the Monster Mountain is a paradise for the supernatural, it is also extremely xenophobic."

"Haha, you don't need to worry about this young man." Kanako patted Baiye's shoulder heartily: "Why do you think I would choose this place after seeing that it belongs to the Tengu? Back when their clan hadn't moved in yet, I had a pretty good relationship with their Great Tengu. Although we lost contact later, I would still give them this much face."

"If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have had to make this long trip."

As the two talked, they didn't notice a figure shakily holding a camera and taking pictures of them from the bushes not far away.

"I've stumbled upon another incredible scoop! I can't believe it! I never thought I could gather so much useful information just from a walk. I need to think about what headline to write for tomorrow's Wenwen Daily..."

"Shocking! A mysterious shrine has appeared deep within the Mountain of Yokai, and the deity enshrined there has such a relationship with the Great Tengu?"

"No, this is still too bland and won't attract enough attention."

"Shocking! A man and a woman doing such a thing outside a shrine?"

“This is okay…”

"How about we change it to 'Shocking! Why did a teenage girl die tragically on Monster Mountain? Frontline reporter takes you on an in-depth investigation.'" A voice that didn't belong to her suddenly rang out behind her.

"Okay, okay, this is definitely going to be a hit... QAQ" She only realized something was wrong halfway through her reply. The girl turned around shakily and saw Bai Ye, whose face was almost touching hers, smiling at her and revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"Help!!!"

Although she had never actually experienced Byakuya's fighting power, the girl's intuition as a great demon told her that if she were captured now, she might die a terrible death.

Driven by an extremely strong will to survive, the wind element surrounding her suddenly became active, carrying her into the sky.

Chapter 179 Exciting Literary Post

"Still want to run?!"

The Phoenix Avatar activated its divine speed, quickly catching up with the girl. At the same time, after sensing that the girl was using the power of wind, Bai Ye also activated his Wind Avatar, condensing a wind wall that stretched across the sky, blocking the girl's path.

He led the pale-faced girl back to the open space in front of the Moriya Shrine, casually snapped a picture of her with "Gion Okami's Power" obtained from Watatsuki Yorihime, and after seeing that the layers of sharp blades had completely restricted her movements, Byakuya reached out and took the camera from her neck and began to examine the photos inside.

His face darkened after looking at just two pictures.

"Could you please explain what's going on with these photos?" Byakuya asked, pointing to one of the photos of himself and Sanae, as he held up his camera and leaned close to the girl.

Even though it was Sanae who was overjoyed to see him and burst into tears, from this tricky angle, it looks more like he bullied her and made her cry. And the next picture shows Sanae running back to the shrine in tears, while he, left behind, has an evil smile on his face... MMP!

Based on the headlines he had just heard from the girl, which had the style of something out of a UC shocking news agency, Bai Ye could already see the consequences of these things appearing in the newspapers.

But seriously, did a place like Gensokyo actually have newspapers?

"Of course I do! And the newspaper I run is the best-selling newspaper in all of Gensokyo, the Aya Daily. Considering how hard it is for me to run such a big newspaper all by myself, could you please put away these dangerous-looking things, sir? QAQ" She moved her fingers slightly, but was slashed hard by the sword energy hidden in the blade. The girl, who dared not move again, looked at Byakuya with teary eyes.

"Considering how difficult your life is, I feel that the most important thing to do right now is not to set you free, but to help you get out of this predicament..."

"relief?"

"Hmm~" Bai Ye nodded with a smile and slowly reached out his hand to her neck.

!!!

"Lady Kanako, help me! I was sent by Lord Ōtengu to invite you to the banquet that the Tengu clan is holding to welcome you tonight!" Seeing that Bai Ye was actually about to make a move, the girl glanced at Yasaka Kanako, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she cried out for help.

"Are you from the Tengu clan?"

"Yes, yes." The girl nodded frantically.

"It really is." Sensing the girl's presence, Yasaka Kanako looked at Bai Ye speechlessly: "Mr. Bai Ye, why don't you let her go? I can tell she doesn't seem to be lying..."

"Tsk." Shaking his head, Bai Ye dispersed the blades that had trapped the girl, then deleted all the photos of himself from the camera before returning it to her.

Looking at the camera, which was practically formatted, the girl was heartbroken beyond words.

"Be grateful. It's already a big favor that they didn't smash your camera. If you dare to take photos secretly in Gensokyo, you should be prepared to get caught and start the Muzan scenario at any time."

"But..." He still felt heartbroken. He was sure that news about a male would make the headlines and boost his newspaper's circulation!

After the great barrier was established, was this the first male with the strength of a great demon that I had encountered?

Pfft~ I'm suddenly very curious about how those thirsty guys will react after they hear about his existence... Wait, although all the photos related to the shrine have been deleted, she seems to have discovered something else that can ignite public opinion!

Rubbing her face, she tossed aside all the resentment she felt towards Bai Ye after the photos were deleted, and cheerfully took out a notebook, looking at Bai Ye: "Sir, this is Aya Shameimaru, a reporter from the Aya Daily. May I interview you with some questions? I, Aya, guarantee with my integrity that I will absolutely not infringe on your privacy."

"An interview..."

"Mmm." Aya Shameimaru nodded, looking at Byakuya expectantly.

"Ugly rejection!"

Feeling that if he agreed, he might lose something important like his integrity, Bai Ye flatly refused.

Shemingwanwen: "..."

Lady Wenwen is clearly the most beautiful girl in the Demon Mountain, okay?

……

Having confirmed that the family of three at Moriya Shrine had gained the approval of the Youkai Mountain, Byakuya stayed at the shrine for a while longer before bidding them farewell and leaving.

Because of the somewhat questionable way he entered, Byakuya refused Sanae's suggestion to see him off and walked alone on the path of the Youkai Mountain.

"Ok?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Ye glanced at the bushes and suddenly noticed something that looked like a book...?

"A literary scroll? What is that?"

With a flick of his wrist, Bai Ye manipulated a gust of wind to distort all the light shining on him, achieving a unique form of invisibility. He then turned to the first page of the Wenhua Post.

Then his mouth started twitching uncontrollably.

This is actually a picture of Yukari Yakumo and Yuyuko having a lesbian encounter under the cherry blossoms of Saigyou!

Judging from the quality of the photos, they are obviously quite old. If we were to arrange them in chronological order, I think I would have been the one who cheated on Yakumo Yukari.

Pshaw, I'd never admit to something like that, even if you beat me to death!

The second and third photos are still of the two of them, but the photos are much more revealing than the first one.

By the fourth photo, the main subject had changed to Kaguya Mokou. Even just looking at the photo, Byakuya could feel the ferocity of their battle—not everyone could pull out their own intestines without batting an eye. The last person to do so had been punched into a black and white background by Riki-Oh.

For Aya Shameimaru, who managed to sneak into the Lost Bamboo Forest and take such a photo almost in front of Eirin Yagokoro (1.8), all Byakuya could say was... thrilling!

After flipping through a few more pages, the next subject of the photos became Yuuka Kazami.

In the first two pictures, Yuuka Kazami looks a little dazed, probably because she just woke up and is still in a state of low blood pressure, which is a stark contrast to her usual aloof queen-like demeanor.

Then, in the third picture, Yuuka Kazami's expression showed a hint of confusion;

In the fourth picture, Yuuka Kazami is looking in the direction of the camera;

In the fifth image, Yuuka Kazami stares menacingly in this direction, her parasol already raised, emerald green magic gathering at its tip...

Holy crap, you were obviously caught before you even started filming!

but……

I still have to give it a good review (laughs).

Chapter 180 Boom is the romance of men!

Having obtained the Bunka Scroll, which records the dark history of almost everyone he met in Gensokyo, Byakuya seemed to have flipped a strange switch. Now, in addition to eating, sleeping, and playing games, he also spends his free time flipping through the photos inside that he doesn't know how he took.

"Pfft pfft pfft~"

Seeing Mokou grab a few packs of cigarettes from the vending machine, Byakuya couldn't help but imagine the "Mokou x Kaguya" or "Mokou x Keine" pairings...

"Are you thinking something awful?" Sensing a sudden malice directed at her, Mokou looked around and quickly pinpointed the source of the malice.

"No, I'm just expressing my admiration for you," Bai Ye said with a serious expression.

I never would have guessed! Mokou, you're actually a winner in life, juggling two women at once. Is this what they mean by "you can't judge a book by its cover"?

Seeing that Byakuya's expression had suddenly turned strange again, Fujiwara no Mokou rolled her eyes, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and walked straight out of the Dimensional Shop.

If she stayed here any longer, she was afraid she would lose control of her emotions and burn the place down.

Just as Bai Ye opened the Wenhua Post again, the light on the portal lit up, and Accelerator, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the portal. When he saw Bai Ye behind the counter, who was smiling like a pervert, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"what happened to him?"

"Who knows?" Black Jeanne looked up at the other party and answered after recognizing him as an acquaintance. "Anyway, it's been like this often ever since I went out for a few days last time. Fortunately, it's normal most of the time."

“Uh…” Accelerator blinked.

How am I supposed to respond to that?

"Let's not talk about her anymore. What brings you here today? I heard you've been quite busy lately."

“I…” One of them looked grim.

"What happened?" Seeing her constipated expression, Bai Ye looked up from the Wen Hua Tie and asked in confusion, "Aiwass and Aleister shouldn't have fallen out yet, so those two shouldn't be making things too difficult for you."

"No, they didn't make things difficult for me. They even offered a method that they said could help me level up to level 6," Yifang said, pursing his lips.

"That's great... but judging from your expression, does that mean this upgrade method isn't to your liking?"

"According to the tree diagram designer's calculations, as long as I kill the third-ranked level 5 enemy 128 times in various battlefield environments, I will level up to level 6. However, they couldn't find another 127 third-ranked enemies, so they simply copied 20,000 of her clones to replace them..." One side kicked the ground unhappily: "What is this? Do they think I'm an executioner?"

"Hmm... does the designer of that tree diagram usually enjoy playing games?"

"Why do you ask that?" Yifang looked at Baiye with confusion.

"I couldn't find any monsters in the leveling area that matched my level, so I simply went to the area outside the newbie village to bully slimes or goblins, using the guaranteed 1 point of experience from killing them to fill up my experience bar. This is exactly the idea behind a joke I saw before."

"..."

"Brother Bai, why are you making these silly jokes with me!" The girl glared at Bai Ye angrily, realizing she seemed to have been tricked.

"Alright, alright, enough joking around." Noticing that even Jeanne Alter's gaze towards him had become strange, Bai Ye waved his hand: "So what's your idea? How about I sneak over and throw a few smoke bombs into Aleister's room?"

"No way!" One side instantly bristled: "I don't know if the chairman will be in trouble, but Academy City will definitely be in big trouble!"

"Tsk, just kidding, why are you so excited?" Bai Ye glanced sideways at the wall.

One side: "..."

Forgive my bluntness, but I don't see a single thing on your face that looks like you're joking!

"Well, as an outsider, I can't really say anything, but if you don't mind, I can go and ask Aleister or Aiwass what they think first." After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye looked at Yifang and suggested.

"..." Although she didn't speak, Bai Ye could still tell from the sudden change in her gaze that she was waiting for her to say those words!

Hmm... so how come you've learned to use this kind of trick too?

He reached out and ruffled her hair into a mess, then looked at the others in the shop: "Anyone want to come along? But just so you know, the world over there is pretty dangerous."

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye saw a cat's paw raised high.

……

Bai Ye had witnessed the progress of the relationship between Yi Fang and Talking Tom step by step. From the very beginning, when Tom responded to the call of the Dimensional Shop and met Yi Fang, whom he and Jeanne Alter had left behind, the two of them had maintained a friendship that transcended race and even worlds. However, he really did not expect that Tom would jump out to stand up for Yi Fang at this time.

Or maybe this guy just wants to go to Academy City for a stroll?

Watching the big cat land, let out a "YOOOO" sound, and then start frolicking and disappear at the end of the street, Bai Ye gave the cat the middle finger in the direction it left.

Although I never expected to be able to help you, running away so decisively is a bit too much, isn't it?

“Let’s go find Aleister first and see what his attitude is, then we can decide on the next steps. As for Tom…” Bai Ye paused as he led Yi Fang toward the 830-story building with no doors or windows that he remembered: “Anyway, he’s immortal like Grey Wolf. As long as it’s not someone of the highest caliber who makes a move, let him do whatever he wants.”

One of them nodded obediently.

Meanwhile, in the chairman's private, top-tier coffin... in the top-tier medical ward, Aiwas covered his mouth and chuckled as he looked at Bai Ye, who had suddenly appeared on the screen.

"What did I tell you? Letting that girl into the game will definitely provoke him. I told you, but you didn't believe me."

“But this was all part of the plan,” Aleister said in a completely emotionless voice.

“Yes, yes, everything is in your plan. I almost believed you.” Aiwass rolled his eyes.

"..."
