Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Chapter 112 The Burning Legion Arrives

What happened between the three of them after that is only known to the parties involved.

After a meal in an extremely eerie atmosphere, Bai Ye hurriedly took his leave with Marquis Voban. The way he walked away gave Yagokoro Eirin the illusion that he was running away...

Even if someone really had to run, shouldn't it be that little old man who was fed a bellyful of medicine that ran away?

Why is this kid running around so happily!

"Eirin, I'm doomed..." Before she could even figure it out, Kaguya had already pounced into her arms, burying her head in those... top-notch... breasts that are among the best in Gensokyo, rubbing against her from side to side.

Yayi Yonglin: "..."

On the other side, after leaving the Lost Bamboo Forest, Bai Ye and Marquis Voban both breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at each other strangely.

Why are you so nervous? x2

"None of your business!" x2

"Heh..." x2

Then the two tacitly ended the conversation.

Marquis Voban felt threatened after being given those drugs, but as for why Bai Ye felt the same way, only he himself knew the answer.

Back at the Dimensional Shop, after confirming that the old man's injuries were truly healed and not just a stubborn lie, Bai Ye first sent Luo Hao a card shake. After thinking for a moment, he also sent a card shake to Tony.

A few minutes later, Luo Hao and Tony walked out of the portal almost simultaneously, one after the other.

Upon recognizing the two figures, Marquis Voban's brow twitched, and he gave Bai Ye a strange look—there are seven god-slayers in the world, including you, and coincidentally, you've brought along two who both have grudges against you. As for Luo Hao, being the host in a sense, that's one thing, but this swordsman…you did this on purpose, didn't you?

Bai Ye hadn't really thought that much about it, after all, these were the only two Godslayers he could contact besides his grandfather.

After everyone had arrived, Bai Ye pointed to the old man who was already in the shop, "I don't need to introduce the three of you again, do I?"

"Why is he here?" Luo Hao was also a little surprised to see Tony.

"Well... due to certain factors, I might be quite busy for a while, but now that the old man's injury has healed, the journey to the Netherworld... it's still three people, so the chances of success should be higher, right?" Bai Ye clapped his hands to draw the attention of the three people to him and shared his thoughts.

"I can accept that reason, but you..."

Before Luo Hao could finish speaking, the light on the portal shone again, and a tall figure with a unique appearance walked out of it.

"So you're the mortal...human that the adults were talking about, the one who can help the legion's next move?" The figure stroked his chin, seemingly finding Bai Ye's appearance hard to accept, unaware that the others here also found his appearance unacceptable.

"Now you understand what I mean, right?" Ignoring the big guy, Bai Ye looked at the three god-slayers.

As time goes by, more and more people will become aware of the existence of the Dimensional Shop, and similarly, more and more people will come here to trade.

As a store manager, unless everything in the store has been arranged so that it can continue to operate normally even when he is away, the chances of leaving will become increasingly slim.

"Emmmm... Can I cut him down?" Luo Hao and the Marquis remained silent, but Tony's thought process was as peculiar as ever. After sizing up the big guy, his hand involuntarily reached behind him.

"No!" Bai Ye's lips twitched, and he decisively rejected the suggestion.

Unsurprisingly, this was the messenger sent by the Legion after Sargeras teleported the card back to them. It seems that even with Sargeras's personal intervention, the demons of the Burning Legion didn't entirely believe him.

“Since you have something to do, we won’t bother you any longer.” After sizing up the big guy, Luo Hao said to Bai Ye, then looked at Tony: “Where are you now? If you don’t have anything to do, come to Japan first. Voban and I have something to discuss with you.”

"Before I came here, I swam in the Pacific Ocean, which allowed me to swim directly to Japan," Tony said with a bright smile.

“That would be best. I’ll wait for you at the Western Heaven Palace. Once you arrive, just have the local magic society take you there. If they refuse, you can activate your power and slash the ground with your sword.”

"Understood." Tony gave an OK sign.

Then Luo Hao and Tony went back first. As for the old man, he said he would inform him after the two opened the Netherworld passage. Until then, he would continue to hide in the small cave in the Netherworld.

Anyway, the tracking mark left by the nonconformist has been erased with the help of Yagokoro Eirin, so even if she returns to the Yūsei, she doesn't have to worry about being chased to the point of having nowhere to go again.

After the three of them left, the large man who appeared to be from the Burning Legion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Those three humans who seemed to want to kill him just now actually gave him a somewhat dangerous feeling...

"Shall we sit down and talk?"

"Alright." The big guy nodded, then ignored the chair next to him and plopped down on the ground.

"I am Mannoroth, a high lord under Lord Archimonde, and I have come here on the orders of Lord Archimonde and Lord Kil'jaeden..."

"Just state your purpose directly?" Bai Ye raised his hand, interrupting the big man. "If it weren't for that guardian's incompetence, even Sargeras would be in my collection by now. So don't try to intimidate me with Archimonde and Kil'jaeden's names; it won't work."

"Hmph, humans." Manolos scoffed, took a small object from his person, and crushed it.

After the small object was crushed, a wisp of eerie green smoke appeared inside the store, and then... it dissipated?

"Ahem, the two lords originally wanted me to bring one of their clones with me, so they could directly communicate with you from the Legion's fleet. But it seems something went wrong." Manolos scratched his head.

Watching the big guy's ridiculous antics, Bai Ye clicked his tongue and kicked him back into the portal.

Chapter 113 A love letter... I mean, an invitation

After Mannoroth was kicked out by the White Nights, there was no further news from the Burning Legion. It seems they are discussing strategies to deal with themselves as a variable...

Of course, it's also possible that these guys sent Mannoroth just to deal with the task assigned by Boss Sa, since demons' thought processes are quite different from normal people's.

Fortunately, White Night's desire for the Burning Legion isn't that high right now.

After waiting for a while without seeing the next demon arrive, Bai Ye put the matter out of his mind.

For Bai Ye right now, the immediate trouble is clearly more worthy of his attention...

Bakuya brushed away Yukari Yakumo's hand from his shoulder, looked up from the computer screen, and turned to the graceful youkai sage standing beside him: "Just tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"Ugh~ Don't be so fierce, little brother." Yukari Yakumo waved her hand: "It's just that we're planning to hold a banquet at the Hakurei Shrine in a few days. The leaders of all the major powers in Gensokyo will be there. Although you haven't been in Gensokyo for long, judging by your strength alone... you're qualified to receive this invitation. Aren't you excited?"

"I have a feeling you're plotting something?" After taking the invitation and opening it, Byakuya looked at Yakumo Yukari with suspicion.

"Hey, buddy, that's not right. If we really had something up our sleeve, would we have bothered to personally deliver the invitation?" Yukari Yakumo retreated back into the gap. "Also, since you've already accepted the invitation, don't be late three days from now, or we'll be angry~"

"So... will you turn into Fanta?" Bai Ye casually placed the invitation on the corner of the counter and continued to grind his dungeon.

Nothing makes me happier than games.jpg

……

The turning point came three days later.

Although Byakuya had said that there would be absolutely no dust or other things that shouldn't be in the shop, this only changed Jeanne Alter's habit of cleaning the shop every day to once every three days.

After wiping the counter with a rag, the invitation unsurprisingly caught her attention.

"Master, what is this?"

"It says 'invitation' on it," Bai Ye replied, glancing back at the invitation.

"I know this is an invitation. Judging from the time on it, it seems to be this evening... in about an hour?"

Just then, the goblin, who was the final boss, collapsed after a series of groans. Bai Ye then took his hands off the keyboard and looked back at Jeanne Alter, who had already opened the invitation: "The main problem is that it was Yakumo Yukari who sent the invitation. Who knows if she's plotting something again? So I thought it would be better not to go."

"Did the sage demon come to your door that day just to deliver this to you?"

"Ah."

"..."

"Well, we're not really busy right now, so going wouldn't hurt. It's just closing a few hours early. Why don't you come along?"

"That's great... cough cough, I mean you invited me, I didn't want to go!"

"Yes, yes, I invited you." Bai Ye typed a message on the keyboard to inform his teammates that he would be logging off early today. He got up and changed his clothes: "So, like you said, the banquet is about to start. In order not to be late, shouldn't we set off?"

"Hmm~"

……

Meanwhile, at Eientei.

Kaguya raised an eyebrow as she watched her teammate's profile picture dim before she could even respond.

"Yonglin, has anything happened outside these past few days?"

"The matter..." Yagokoro Eirin put down the test tube in her hand, frowned and thought for a moment: "The Youkai Sage sent invitations to most of the forces in Gensokyo, inviting them to arrive at Hakurei Shrine this evening, saying that he wanted to discuss something that concerns the future of the entire Gensokyo. Does this count?"

"Didn't you invite Eientei?"

"Of course I called, but I felt like she was plotting something, so I didn't plan to go."

As she spoke, Eirin Yagokoro rummaged around on her lab table and handed an invitation to Kaguya.

"Hmm..." Looking at the time on the screen, guessing that Bai Ye had logged off so early today for this reason, Kaguya opened her mouth slightly: "How about we go take a look too?"

Soldier!

The test tube in her hand was crushed by Yagokoro Eirin.

Completely ignoring the medicine that had gotten on her hands, Yagokoro Eirin placed her other, still-clean hand on Kaguya's forehead: "Your Highness, did you take any of the medicines I kept in the medicine cabinet?"

"...Is it so strange that I want to go out for a while?" The princess stomped her foot in displeasure.

"Ask Reisen yourself. Not counting the times you went out with that little girl from the Fujiwara family, how long ago was the last time you left Eientei?"

"Reisen?"

After glancing at Eirin Yagokoro and then at Kaguya, the bunny-eared girl finally succumbed to the sight of a cabinet full of medicine behind Eirin Yagokoro.

"If I remember correctly, the last time Her Highness left Eientei was eighty years ago. That time, there was a problem with the internet at home, and since Master was away on business, Her Highness had to go to Youkai Mountain herself to find a kappa to fix it."

Kaguya: "..."

You stupid rabbit, do you know you've narrowed your path?

I'll make you die of dehydration sooner or later!!!

"I don't care, I'm going to go and see." With that haughty remark, Kaguya turned and went back to her room to change into something more suitable for going out.

Behind her, Eirin Yagokoro's voice rang out: "Actually... just like I said a long time ago, it's good to go out more. My research isn't finished yet, so let Reisen accompany you, or you can go find that little girl from the Fujiwara family."

"You can keep Reisen or Eirin for testing the medicine. I'll go find Mokou."

Her whole being blurred for a moment, and when she finally emerged from the realm between eternity and fleeting moments, Kaguya had already changed her clothes and was humming a little tune as she left through the main gate.

Standing by the laboratory window, watching her departing figure, Eirin Yagokoro wiped her hands as she asked, "Reisen, has Her Highness been behaving in any strange ways lately?"

"Hmm..." The bunny-eared girl thought for a moment, "Aside from often giggling like an idiot while playing games, there doesn't seem to be anything else, right?"

"giggle……?"

This problem is serious enough, you silly rabbit!

Eirin Yagokoro, who had originally intended to have Reisen go along to see what was going on, immediately changed her mind: "Go and tell the Emperor to come along and protect Her Highness the Princess."

Chapter 114: Sex between men and women

When Bai Ye and his companion arrived at the Hakurei Shrine, it was surprisingly deserted... to his surprise.

Basically, a big fox and a silver-haired girl were busy doing everything inside and out, while Reimu Hakurei, as the master, was taking care of a cat-eared loli.

Two tails... Is it a cat?

"Why did you come so early?"

"Is it early?" Bai Ye checked the time: "According to the time on the invitation, it should be about time by now."

"So you still haven't adapted to the pace of Gensokyo." The shrine maiden sighed. "That guy showed me the list of attendees for this banquet. Most of them are people who don't care about time. It's already good enough that they came. As for being late or arriving at the last minute... you'll get used to it."

"You can even be late for something as important as attending a banquet. As expected, Gensokyo is full of ignorant, backward, and rude bumpkins!" A spoiled voice suddenly interrupted Byakuya and the shrine maiden's conversation.

Under the curious gazes of the two, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the woods.

“You two…” Hakurei Reimu thought for a moment, then quickly matched them with the ones Yakumo Yukari had just told her about, “You two are the ones who initiated the last incident, right?”

“Exactly.” Remilia proudly puffed out her small chest.

Tsk...!

"Hey, what's your look like?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're really quite majestic, don't you think?" Bai Ye smiled exaggeratedly and looked at Hei Zhen beside her.

"Hmm~ She is indeed a very dignified noble lady." Black Jeanne nodded with a smile and obligingly hugged Byakuya's arm.

Indentation~

"You shameless scoundrel!!!" The young lady was instantly hit.
