Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Sakuya's expression was also rather unpleasant. After awkwardly nodding to Byakuya, she caught up with Remilia, who was furious after being instantly defeated and flew into the woods, unsure of how to vent her anger.

Reimu Hakurei and the cat spirit, on the other hand, were clearly not at an age where they should be worrying about such things. They just glanced at Byakuya for no apparent reason and then continued playing.

……

It's getting dark.

As the time for the invitation to be posted drew closer, several figures had already gathered in front of the shrine.

It seemed that, apart from Bai Ye, everyone knew each other, and even if they weren't friends, they could at least exchange a few words. So, they quickly gathered in twos and threes.

It wasn't that Bai Ye didn't want to get involved, but the people he knew...

Thinking of the heart that had been beating in his hands not long ago, he felt that something delightful would happen if he joined Kaguya and Mokou's little drama at this moment.

As for the family of three with Kazami Yuuka, Marisa waved excitedly at him, but was immediately pulled back by Alice beside her. Kazami Yuuka, on the other hand, sat there drinking tea, seemingly not caring much about these things.

Seeing that most people had gathered, Yukari Yakumo created a gap on the shrine steps, patted Yuyuko on the back, and told her to wait downstairs while she stood on the steps to maintain a commanding view of everyone...

boom!

Kazami Yuuka silently folded her parasol.

Looking down at the steps shattered by the magic cannon, Yukari Yakumo's lips twitched slightly.

"Since everyone is here, they should be able to listen to what I have to say, so let's get down to business first. After that, you can do as you please." Yakumo Yukari pointed to Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku, who were setting up the banquet.

She selectively ignored the pink-haired ghost that had rubbed against the table.

"I imagine you all still have some recollection of the previous vampire upheaval. Perhaps for those of you present, hundreds of years of peace are just a blink of an eye, but for the lowly demons, it's practically like they've never experienced a proper battle since birth..."

"So you're planning to lift the ban on attacks on human villages?"

"Of course not. We've emphasized the significance of the Human Village more than once." Yukari Yakumo was startled and quickly denied it.

"Tch, then what are you even saying?" The youkai who had just interrupted Yakumo Yukari curled its lip and turned to leave.

"Hmm..." Feeling humiliated by being slapped in the face by so many beings of the same level, Yakumo Yukari tapped her palm with her folding fan and looked down at Byakuya, who was watching the show: "Manager Byakuya, what price can a newly promoted Great Youkai fetch here?"

"Alive or dead?"

"Ugh, of course it's dead! You already know that, why ask?" Yakumo Yukari waved her hand coyly, and swallowed the monster in a gap. When it reappeared in front of Byakuya, it had become a corpse.

Name: Wild Boar Spirit (Corpse)

Type: Corpse

"Attribute: Meat?"

Quality: Excellent

"Note: A monster corpse that has not undergone any post-processing and has no wounds on its surface, if processed by a skilled hunter or butcher, might yield some perfect quality materials."

"Dead bodies are worthless." Bai Yexu raised his hand, sealing the corpse into a card, and tapped his fingers a few times. "What do you think of the price 2333?"

"can."

Originally, she only wanted to intimidate the other disobedient guys. Although she felt that the corpse of a great youkai shouldn't be worth so little, she swallowed this loss because the main goal at present was to launch the spell card system.

As for her reaction after she finds out exactly what "2333" means...

Bai Ye has never been afraid of transactions where money and goods are exchanged directly.

"Aside from that guy, I don't think anyone else has a problem with not attacking human villages, right?" Yakumo Yukari said coldly, glancing at the great youkai present.

"..." Silence.

"Let's continue what we were saying before. Considering that the new generation of youkai are not getting the training they deserve, and that everyone here might feel helpless when facing the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, with the help of a friend, I've come up with an interesting little gadget..." With a flick of her wrist, a spell card appeared in Yukari Yakumo's hand.

"Hmm?" Kaguya turned her head thoughtfully to look in Byakuya's direction.

It seems like a while ago, that guy said he got a big order to help someone research some kind of card, so he didn't have much time to go online during the day, right?

Chapter 115 Fragmented Memories: What exactly happened?

After Yakumo Yukari finished explaining the complete spell card system, Reimu stepped in to add some supplementary information about the rules of spell card battles. After that, the two, one big and one small, stood side by side, looking at the crowd in front of them.

"That concludes the rules for spell cards. Is there anything you object to?"

“No, no, what A-Zi said is all correct.” Yu-Yu-Zi, representing the forces of the Underworld Hakugyokurou, was the first to speak.

"The spell card rules are still well-developed, taking into account the needs of both humans and yokai, and the Hall of Right and Wrong has no objections." A green-haired girl holding a token nodded in agreement, then changed the subject: "But besides that, Yokai Sage, have you done something bad again recently? I've discovered that your sins have actually increased compared to last time, and by a significant margin. Do you know how much trouble your behavior causes me as an immortal being, and it's not just you, it's all of you..."

She stood up, raised the token in her hand, and pointed at all the outcasts present: "Don't you, as monsters, vampires, celestials, gods... do more good deeds when you have nothing to do? Don't you know the saying, 'Good deeds not accumulated are insufficient to bring fame, evil deeds not accumulated are insufficient to destroy oneself'? Don't you know the saying, 'Do not do evil because it is small, do not neglect good because it is small'? Don't you know another saying..."

"..."

"..." x2

"..."xN

"You Enma over there, shut up, or I'll fill your Hall of Justice with spirits waiting to be judged right now." Kazami Yuuka held her parasol horizontally, the tip pointing at the girl with the same hair color as her: "Don't doubt whether all these youkai here have the ability to do this!"

Green-haired loli: "..."

Standing on the stage, Yukari Yakumo gave Yuuka Kazami a "well done" look.

However, before she could be happy for long, Kazami Yuuka spoke up again: "Outside, I will abide by your spell card rules, but if someone enters the sunflower field, I will decide whether to follow my own rules depending on my mood... You don't have any objections, right?"

"……as long as you are happy."

He only wanted to restrain those lower-level monsters. The Sunflower Field was a notoriously dangerous place, and not a single outsider would go in all year round. If someone did go in, they were just asking for trouble.

Apart from Yuuka Kazami, none of the other attendees raised any objections.

Finally, Yukari Yakumo clapped her hands cheerfully: "Since everyone agrees, let's announce here... the Spell Card Rules are officially established?"

"Zzz is officially established...hehehe Zzzz..."

"..."xN

"Drag her away!" Several veins bulged on Yakumo Yukari's forehead.

"I would do it even without you telling me. How dare you slack off and sleep in front of me? It's outrageous!" The green-haired loli, Shiki Eiki, jumped up and slammed the token-like object in her hand heavily on the head of the giant-breasted Grim Reaper who was sleeping while hugging his scythe.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch—"

"..."

After Yama dragged Death away, the demons present quickly entered into the joyful atmosphere of the banquet. Some gathered with friends they hadn't seen in a long time, while others used the alcohol to resolve conflicts with their enemies.

Just before the banquet began, Yukari Yakumo announced a spell card system that seemed quite interesting to them...

After several stray bullets, whether intentional or unintentional, flew into the monster horde, the entire banquet venue devolved into a chaotic melee at a speed that left Bai Ye speechless.

"Hey bro, what are your thoughts on your work? It's been a long time since we've seen such a vibrant Gensokyo~" A tipsy Yukari Yakumo emerged halfway from the gap, put her arm around Hakuyo's neck, and poured a mouthful of sake into his mouth.

"It is quite potent..." After the wine went down his throat, Bai Ye realized that this wine was even more potent than the divine wine that the First Emperor had collected from some unfortunate pantheon.

"This is a fine wine that Suika and the others have been storing for over a thousand years. We only managed to get it from their cellar while they were all away." Yakumo Yukari proudly showed off the origin of the wine in her hand and then poured a big gulp into Byakuya's mouth.

Having just finished a duel with Helios, Byakuya, who felt his alcohol tolerance had greatly improved, suddenly noticed that Yukari Yakumo's face, which was so close to him, was becoming blurry...

According to the recollections of the yokai who attended the banquet that established the spell card rules, the banquet "ended" under the illumination of a sun that suddenly bloomed on the ground.

……

On the second or third day, Bai Ye sat up in bed in a daze, and Hei Zhen quickly handed her a wet towel.

"Hmm... how did I get here?" Bai Ye wiped his face with a towel and looked around in confusion.

"Where else could it be if not here?" Jeanne Alter tilted her head. "Isn't this your home, Master?"

"That's not what I meant. Weren't we at the banquet at the Hakurei Shrine?" Byakuya's memory was clearly still stuck at the moment before he blacked out: "I remember Yukari Yakumo made me drink a couple of sips of sake... Ugh, to be honest, that sake was damn strong!"

"It's really exciting." Black Jeanne nodded, as if she deeply agreed.

"Sigh, did she feed you too?"

"I can't handle that kind of treatment." Black Jeanne gave White Night a strange look: "I'm just speculating based on what I've seen Master do when you're drunk."

"Judging from what you're saying, what did I do when I was drunk?" Bai Ye's eyelids twitched simultaneously.

"As for what exactly they did, Master, you can ask those guys yourself when you have the chance later." Jeanne Alter shook her head. "As for now, while you were unconscious, Master, I didn't close the shop, so there's a customer waiting for you outside for quite a while. Let's take care of his business first."

"Guest, is this new?"

"Of course, if you haven't received him before my arrival, Master."

"Alright." Bai Ye picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger, put them on, and pushed open the door.

Chapter 116 The Strongest Hokage in History (laughs)

“It’s an old man…” Upon arriving outside, Bai Ye immediately recognized the gaunt old man sitting on the sofa.

After all, even disregarding the change in art style after the characters transitioned from 2D to 3D, in Bai Ye's memory, the bamboo hat the other person wore with the character for "fire" written on its forehead was far too recognizable—

Unless some old man who has also watched Naruto and still has a childlike heart is willing to cosplay the Third Hokage with more than 80% accuracy~.

Noticing that the instruction manual for new guests on the table had been flipped through, Bai Ye raised his hand to indicate, "Now that you've read the book, you should know what this place is, right?"

"Hmm, a place that can connect to countless worlds..." The old man's eyes showed shock: "It really surprises this old man. My old bones are not easily frightened."

Although he wished that everything he saw was an illusion, the near-overwhelming battle between Jeanne Alter and him, the dozens of spells he had used to break the seal that had no effect, and the inexplicable trust he had in this place all told him that everything written in the book was true!

“Old people have experienced more ups and downs than young people, shouldn’t they be more composed?” Bai Ye said with a smile as he sat down opposite the old man.

"...You jest." The old man chuckled. "My name is Hiruzen Sarutobi. According to this book, you must be the White Shopkeeper of the Dimensional Shop, right?"

"Mm." Bai Ye nodded.

"In that case, I'd like to know..." The Third Hokage pondered for a moment, "Shopkeeper, do you have any items here that can treat hidden injuries?"

"Hidden injury? Your own?"

“Yes.” The Third Hokage nodded, a hint of anticipation creeping into his gaze as he looked at Byakuya…

Or perhaps it's nervousness?

His years as a ninja had left countless hidden injuries in his body. These injuries didn't bother him when he was at his peak, but in his later years, Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously doubted whether his body could still withstand a battle between equals.

But the recent developments in the village gave him a very bad feeling.

"The simplest way to heal hidden injuries should be to restore vitality, right?"

"vitality?"

"Well, probably because I've never encountered an opponent who could leave me with any injuries, I don't have much of a specific understanding of hidden injuries. However, some customers have encountered the same situation as you." Bai Ye said this without any awareness, making what sounded extremely pretentious to the Third Generation. "According to his experience, life force can not only treat hidden injuries, but also restore a person's body to its peak condition. So now he's used to carrying around hundreds of years' worth of life force, wandering around aimlessly, since he's not afraid of getting hurt anyway."

Thinking of the shameless fighting style of the Warring States period, several black lines appeared on Bai Ye's forehead.

It was clearly an evenly matched battle, but after severely injuring the opponent, he injected some life force into himself.

Sigh, I'm all better now ^0^~

Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?

Anyway, judging from the complaints of the "goods" that Sengoku delivered to him, it's clear that Sengoku did this more than once or twice in the world of One Piece.

It's not just Sengoku; Garp and the recently popular three Logia-type Vice Admirals are all inheritors of this "mad dog" playstyle.

"If I remember correctly..." The Third Hokage recalled what he had seen in the instruction manual: "It seems that at the shopkeeper's place, the price for life force is 1 source coin for 1 day, right?"

"Well, if you really do fight your whole life as you say, then it would take at least ten or twenty years for your life force to recover."

"I see." The Third Hokage lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly made a decision: "I plan to sell a few ninjutsu techniques that I created myself. According to that book, ninjutsu can be sold as pure information, right?"

“That is indeed a way of selling,” Bai Ye acknowledged the third generation’s statement.

"That's fine then." The Third Hokage nodded and took out a scroll and a pen from his ninja bag.

"There's no need for all that trouble." Byakuya stopped the Third Hokage from copying the scroll: "You just need to recall the ninjutsu you want to sell in your mind, and the rules here will automatically help you complete the task you need to do."

"Hmm...that's convenient." The Third Hokage sighed as he looked at the scroll that had appeared in front of him.

Name: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Type: Ninjutsu

Attribute: Fire

Quality: Excellent

"Note: Although it's touted as a secret technique of the Uchiha clan, it seems any fire-style ninja can use it..."
