Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 58

"Hmm... Don't you think that winter is here, and it's the perfect time to hibernate?" Bai Ye stood up and yawned, resolutely refusing to admit that he was just tired from staying up too late during the day.

"Two thousand fat sheep... What good stuff have you found this time?"

Grey Wolf excitedly placed a large book on the counter, opened it to a page, pointed to the text, and said to Bai Ye, "Boss, look here! I discovered this while looking through my great-great-great-grandfather's notes. It turns out that the Sheep Village also has a cationic light sphere that corresponds to the anionic light sphere. It can emit 100,000 volts of cationic ions and is the village's treasure. After several days of preparation, I finally sneaked into the Sheep Village's underground chamber while the sheep were out playing and found it."

Bai Ye picked up the small white ball, glanced at its attributes, and then his consciousness sank into a space that only he could see. After searching for a while, he took out a small black ball from it.

The two small balls, one black and one white, have a minus sign drawn on the black ball and a positive sign drawn on the white ball. They seem to correspond perfectly to each other, and the dimensional shop offers the exact same buyback price for both balls.

"Since you actually managed to collect a pair, I'm in a good mood this time, so I'll give you an extra thousand little sheep." Bai Ye neatly stacked several piles of cards on the table.

"Thank you, boss!" Having harvested a thousand more sheep than expected, Grey Wolf felt as refreshed as if he had eaten an ice pop on a sweltering summer day. He saluted White Night with a delighted expression.

It wasn't until Grey Wolf left with the cards that Bai Ye suddenly realized what had happened...

Since you've already infiltrated the sheep village, even if you don't catch any sheep, you could at least bring out some of Slow Sheep's inventions from all these years... You only managed to steal a ball after going in, what a loser!

Chapter 139 Accident and the Underworld

As the saying goes, "When people are well-fed and warm, they think of lustful desires..." (cross out the entire line)

As the saying goes, stillness breeds restlessness. With his income steadily increasing and his relationship with Jeanne Alter progressing, the twin sisters were becoming more and more skilled at entertaining clients. However, despite all this promising situation, Byakuya found himself somewhat bored...

"So, it's true that prolonged salting can lead to dehydration?"

After touching his chin, Bai Ye rummaged in his pocket for a while, then pulled out a ball from each hand.

"Anion Photosphere"

"Cation photosphere"

When viewed separately, these two are not much different except for the different light emitted by the anion and cation orbs. However, when placed together, a hidden attribute can be seen: .

Out of caution, Bai Ye didn't do what Xiao Bai did and immediately put the two balls together after getting them. Instead, she chose to keep them separate, saving them for when she was bored, like now...

Snapped!

The anion and cation light spheres emitted a crisp sound upon collision, then attracted each other like magnets and began to rotate... rotate...

Is this the promised Easter egg, part 03?

With a sigh, Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the two balls, then simply rubbed them in his hands as if they were stress relief balls.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

To be honest, both the feel and the sound of the two balls rubbing together are quite pleasant.

"Xiao Zhen, do you want to go to the terakoya? It's the private school that Mokou's friend runs."

"...Master, what are you doing there?"

"Didn't we send an old man there to be a teacher before? I didn't think much of it before, but the more I think about it these past few days, the more something seems off. That old man seems to be more than he appears..." Bai Ye's voice was tinged with a hint of unease.

"Him~" Hearing that Bai Ye's trip wasn't because of Mokou or any other random women, Black Jeanne squinted her eyes contentedly: "I won't go. I'll just help you clear your stamina. Remember to go early and come back early."

"Okay, that works too." Nodding, Bai Ye stood up and walked towards the shop entrance.

He sensed something was wrong as soon as he stepped outside.

The two ions of anion and cation light that were originally stuck together in their hands have now generated arcs of electricity between them, resulting in a sense of spatial distortion and a suction force that, while not very strong, is definitely real.

What is this ghost?

Letting his body be sucked in by this suction force, when the feeling disappeared, Bai Ye could clearly feel that he seemed to have arrived in another world... or at the very least, another space.

and……

"Where are my five thousand sheep... ptooey, my cation and anion orbs?" Bai Ye looked at his empty hands and felt a surge of displeasure.

Although it's not particularly expensive, it's still almost three years' worth of food for the Wolf family.

"Speaking of which...where did all these mochi come from?"

Looking at the white, mochi-like ghosts floating in groups of skirts before him, Bai Ye turned to look at the seemingly endless river beside him, lost in thought…

He seemed to know where he was.

"Hey, you over there, do you want to cross the river? You look pretty rich." A voice that came from afar pulled Bai Ye back to reality.

Looking at the death girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, wielding a scythe and known for her ferocity, Bai Ye nodded slightly.

"Ms. Onozuka Komachi, it's been a long time... How have you been lately?"

"How do you know my name, Komachi-sama?" The Death Girl looked at Byakuya with a puzzled expression.

“You forgot? We met at the banquet at the Hakurei Shrine after the spell card system was established under the joint witness of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and the Youkai Sage. I remember there was a little girl who was about this tall with you at that time.” Baiye gestured to show the height of the green-haired little girl.

"..."

"It's you?!!"

Under Bai Ye's bewildered gaze, the Death Girl turned and ran without a word, as if Bai Ye would devour her alive if she were even a fraction slower.

"Stop!" Bai Ye chased after him with a dark face. "Why are you running? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

"Eat me? Eat me? Eat me?" The Death Girl was stunned for a moment, then swung her scythe directly at Bai Ye's neck: "Although I'm no match for you, Komachi-sama, if you think I'll stand still and let you do whatever you want... don't even think about it!!!"

When~

Despite it being a clash between the blade of a scythe and flesh, the Grim Reaper girl's strike produced a metallic clang.

Speechless, Bai Ye stretched his neck, snatched the scythe, and casually stuck it into the ground: "Now you can listen to me properly, right?"

"Waaaaah QAQ~"

……

"So, you just came to the Underworld by accident, and not specifically to cause trouble for me, Lady Komachi?" After hearing Bai Ye's explanation, the Death Girl patted her conscience, causing a surge of emotions: "You should have said so earlier, otherwise I, Lady Komachi, wouldn't have been so frightened."

"Why would I bother you for no reason?" Bai Ye sighed.

"That's impossible to say..."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, Lady Komachi just feels the wind is still quite noisy today~"

"..." x2

"Since you came to the underworld by accident, what are you planning to do next? I remember hearing the monsters up there chatting about how your home is in the human world, right?"

"Hmm... but the thing that brought me here is gone." Bai Ye shrugged.

Although Bai Ye can now string together a necklace with ion-cation orbs to wear as an item saved in the dimensional shop, it seems that the world associated with Gensokyo is not just the Underworld. Who knows where she will be sucked in next time?

“That’s easy, I’ll leave it to you, Komachi-sama.” The Death Girl patted her chest enthusiastically: “Being invited to stay and attend the banquet after the spell card rules were established, it seems your relationship with the Youkai Sage isn’t too bad, right? I happen to know a place in the Underworld where you have a high chance of running into her.”

"Oh?"

"Let's go, while Lord Shiki is still busy, let's make a quick getaway." Seeing that Bai Ye was still standing there in a daze, the Death Girl familiarly pulled Bai Ye's hand and took a step forward. Bai Ye then found himself in a place thousands of meters away from where he was before.

Chapter 140 Yakumo Yukari!

Led by Komachi, it wasn't long before Byakuya saw a long staircase and at the end of it a building with a strong ancient style.

"We're here, this is Hakugyokurou," Komachi introduced to Byakuya.

Looking up at both sides of the road and then around the room, Bai Ye frowned and looked at Komachi: "By the way, don't you feel like something's off about this area?"

"Something's not right... Is it?" Komachi asked, looking confused.

"..."

"If there's anything wrong, it's probably that lately I feel like I'm sleeping longer..." Komachi said thoughtfully, her head down.

go to bed?

You're just slacking off, aren't you? I, Bai, already saw it last time at the Hakurei Shrine. You're a big-breasted Grim Reaper who doesn't even have the right mindset when you're working!

"By the way, I wonder what Shiki-sama is busy with right now, so it's important to catch up on all the things we've been owing!" As if remembering something "important," Komachi suddenly slammed her fist into her palm. "Hey, human, since I've already brought you here, I won't go in. I have something even more important to do next, something that has been my greatest dream for nearly a thousand years..."

Sleeping openly by the Sanzu River... heh heh heh...

So the red-haired Grim Reaper girl activated her power again, this time disappearing from Byakuya's sight in a single step. Since they had already arrived at this place where there was supposedly a high probability of encountering Yakumo Yukari, Byakuya did not stop her.

Anyway, he already remembered the way he came. If he couldn't run into Yakumo Yukari, he could just go back to the Sanzu River to find Komachi again.

Satisfied with his "watertight" plan, Bai Ye nodded and slowly walked towards the house at the end of the steps.

……

Like the Hakurei Shrine, this is also a building that looks quite old, and in terms of age alone, it may even be older than the Hakurei Shrine.

He knocked on the door, but no one answered. However, the door was ajar, so after a slight hesitation, Bai Ye went in first.

Apologize to your owner after you see her.

"Excuse me... is the owner of this place home?"

"Huh, not Youmu?" A surprised voice came from inside the room.

Bai Ye outside the door also felt a little strange... Why did this voice sound so familiar to him?

"Alright, even though it's not Youmu, it's still quite an achievement to find this place. Come on in." At this moment, the female voice inside said again.

"Sorry, I waited at the door for a while but no one came out. Plus, the door wasn't closed properly, so I thought I'd come in and take a look. I heard you can meet a youkai here... Yuyuko?"

"Oh, it's you." The girl, who was playing with a piece of multicolored substance, looked up and her face lit up with surprise when she saw Bai Ye: "Did you come to the Underworld to play with me?"

"Hmm... I didn't know you were the owner of this place before, but since it is you, it's okay to say that."

"Hey, that's great. In the past, sometimes some ghosts would get lost and come here, so I could have a little treat... or relieve my boredom. But lately, I don't know what's happened, except for Purple, or maybe Blue, who comes back to visit occasionally..." The girl took out a box from under the table, opened it, and her expression suddenly froze...

"It's a pity Youmu isn't here, otherwise I could have treated you to her cooking. Although she's not as good as my predecessor in swordsmanship, her culinary skills are amazing!"

Byakuya pretended not to understand the girl's crazy hint: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I already experienced Youmu's skills at the Hakurei Shrine. Now I'm more interested in whether you can contact Yakumo Yukari... If not, contacting her shikigami will also work."

"Purple or blue...of course."

"That……"

"I'm hungry." Yuyuko placed the colorful substance on the table, patted her stomach, and looked at Byakuya with a stern face.

white night:"……"

Did they switch to extortion when hints didn't work?

Checking the time, it was still early, so Bai Ye simply took out a stack of cards and shattered them all at once. The resulting sparks of light from the shattered cards transformed into a feast that nearly filled the entire room, much to Yu Yuko's delight.

Smelling the fragrance surrounding her, Yuyuko swallowed.

"Human, would you like to consider becoming a court priest here after you die?"

"No thanks, and I don't think I'm going to die anyway." Bai Ye disdainfully shook off the hand of the hairy young lady grabbing his arm, then suddenly his eye twitched, "What's that thing you're holding?"

"It's just a butterfly." Seeing that her little trick had been seen through, Yuyuko scoffed in disgust, "released" the dead butterfly in her hand, then picked up the plate closest to her and poured it into her mouth.

Ok?

Delicious! (*^▽^*)

"Heh heh, you've already been won over by the culinary skills of the top chef from Academy City so quickly?" Watching the young lady devour the food he'd brought out at an average rate of one plate per second, Bai Ye stared with interest at her slightly protruding belly…

So here's the question: which is faster, the one who smashes the cards one stack at a time, or the one who stuffs food into that stomach?

This is a question worth considering deeply.

Seeing that the plates around him were already half empty, Bai Ye clasped his hands together, and a stack of cards containing food items reappeared in Le Ta's hands.

One was enjoying the act of feeding, while the other was eating with great relish. Neither Byakuya nor Yuyuko noticed that the piece of colored substance that she had been playing with earlier had, after being "attacked" by an empty plate, cracked open and quietly spilled into the room.

A small portion of the blossoms drifted out through the gaps in the doors and windows. Cherry blossoms bloomed in abundance around the Hakugyoku-ro building, but the Saigyou-yaki tree in the backyard remained unchanged.

Inside the room, Bai Ye's breathing gradually became heavier.

"Yuyuko, don't you feel like this room is getting hotter and hotter?"

"Hmm...maybe so." The girl casually tossed the empty plate aside, then reached for her belt...

Chapter 141 is about ravaging the dead (serious)

As the reigning queen of sleepiness in Gensokyo for hundreds of consecutive terms, Yukari Yakumo, who was still transitioning from hibernation to spring drowsiness, suddenly shivered in her blankets.
