Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 44

After he finished speaking, the Marquis stood up from the sofa and walked unhurriedly toward the teleportation portal.

"By the way, after I go back from here, will I appear directly in the place I came in from?" When he reached the teleportation portal, the Marquis suddenly stopped and turned to look at Bai Ye behind the counter.

"Nonsense!" Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

Then he looked at the old man who had just been full of energy, and suddenly he showed the appearance of someone who was old and frail.

“If you don’t mind…” Bai Ye paused for a moment, then continued, “I remember Mokou mentioning that there’s a highly skilled doctor in Gensokyo. I can send you to her… I heard that if she’s in a good mood, you can even save on medical expenses?”

"Excuse me... what does it mean that she's in a good mood?" Voban's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know either. When I asked Mokou before, she didn't say either. Should I go ask her for you?"

"Before that, I wanted to ask if I refused to go to that doctor, would you send me back directly?"

“Look here, then look at her…” Bai Ye pointed to the Dimensional Shop, then to Jeanne Alter, and finally to himself: “What do you think are the chances that I’ll keep you here?”

“If you don’t mind, I actually have a pretty little girl working for me, and she has silver hair too…” The old man looked at Bai Ye with a sincere expression.

Then, the murderous intent emanating from Jeanne Alter silenced the old man.

……

After obtaining the old man's "consent," Byakuya found Fujiwara no Mokou, who was patrolling the street, and explained his purpose.

"Hmm... that woman's medical skills are very impressive, but are you sure there won't be any problems sending a patient from another world there?"

"What's the problem?" Mokou's abrupt question confused Byakuya.

"Probably not. The last few times I've seen her, she's become much friendlier, and she wouldn't be very interested in just any normal human being..."

white night:"……"

After all, the old man was a god-slayer. Even if he hadn't transformed his life form into an immortal like himself, Bai Ye still had a sense of just how strong the body of a god-slayer truly was.

Even if the doctor Mokou mentioned is unreliable, the old man can still pull through, right?

While thinking this way, Bai Ye selectively forgot about Luo Hao, who was also a god-slayer, being... by Kazami Yuuka.

Because the doctor auntie from Eientei that Mokou mentioned lived in the Lost Bamboo Forest, Byakuya, who knew how "lost" this place was, dragged along the somewhat reluctant Fujiwara no Mokou to take the old man to see a doctor.

The old man expressed his deep gratitude for Bai Ye's enthusiasm.

Following Mokou, they wandered through the lost bamboo forest, turning left and right until they were almost dizzy. Then, after passing through a not-so-obvious path, Byakuya's eyes suddenly lit up, and they found themselves in front of a bamboo house.

Like the buildings in the village, this bamboo house is also a traditional Eastern-style building.

"Alright, this is it. I don't get along well with the people who live here. You can go in by yourself." Mokou said to Byakuya, pointing to the bamboo house.

"Not a very good relationship?" Marquis Voban, who already had some doubts about why a normal doctor would live in such a awful place, felt his urge to run away intensify upon hearing this.

"It's alright. Although I also think the doctor inside has a rather annoying personality, as a doctor, she still has the most basic medical ethics." Seeing the old man's worry, Meihong comforted him. Then a dark figure darted out of the house, pounced on Meihong, and the two of them rolled into the bamboo forest behind them.

If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the Kaguya-hime who kicked down the door last time, right?

Looking at the firebird soaring into the sky from the bamboo forest, Bai Ye shook his head, puzzled, and went forward to knock on the door of the bamboo house.

"Coming, coming, just a moment." A soft voice came from behind the door.

Before long, a typical bunny-eared girl opened the door and appeared in front of Bai Ye.

From the rabbit-eared girl's long rabbit-like breasts to her 36D bust, and then to her long legs under her short skirt, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow... With such provocative attire, is this some kind of legitimate hospital?

"Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the rabbit-eared girl asked Bai Ye politely.

"This is a hospital... right?" Although he didn't think Mokou would play tricks on him over such a trivial matter, Byakuya still felt that it was a bit unreliable.

“Strictly speaking, this isn’t really a hospital, but sometimes my master will treat humans or yokai who come here, so it’s fine if you insist on saying it this way. Could you please tell me about your condition first?”

Bai Ye pointed to the old man who was trying to downplay his presence: "He's the one who needs to see a doctor, not me."

"I see." The bunny-eared girl nodded, then looked at Marquis Voban: "Could you please explain your situation, sir? Is there anything wrong with you?"

"I feel uncomfortable all over."

The bunny-eared girl's smile froze a bit... In Her Highness's words, you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?

Just then, a cool, clear female voice came from inside the room: "Reisen, bring them in. Those who need treatment can be taken directly to the ward. The other one... take him to the living room first."

"Eh? Yes, Master."

He answered loudly, and the rabbit-eared girl named Reisen made way for Bai Ye and the old man to go in.

On the way, seemingly wanting to ease the tension, Reisen looked around and then took the initiative to speak: "Speaking of which, you two gentlemen are quite lucky. It's rare for a normal person to be able to reach the depths of the Lost Bamboo Forest without a guide."

"Actually... we were brought in by someone."

"Huh, is the Emperor being so kind today?" Reisen's face showed a surprised expression.

"Although I don't know who the emperor you're talking about is, it shouldn't have anything to do with her, right? We came in with Fujiwara no Mokou, but before you came out, she went into the bamboo forest with someone named Kaguya."

Reisen suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Miss Mokou."

Chapter 106 Kaguya Suddenly Stunned

Seeing how easily she accepted the situation, Bai Ye was a little curious about what kind of dark history this delinquent girl, who could be called the biggest bad girl in the village, might have.

"Did Mokou often bring people here before?"

“Actually, it’s not very frequent, but since Miss Mokou lives in the Lost Bamboo Forest, she often encounters people who are lost there, and she brings some of them here when they are injured,” Reisen explained.

"Judging from this, she seems to have a pretty good relationship with you all."

"Uh...maybe." Reisen gave an awkward yet polite smile.

She really didn't know how to evaluate the relationship between Mokou and the princess.

The Emperor mentioned it once before, and the words she used at that time seemed to be "love-hate relationship"?

After settling Marquis Voban into a hospital room, Reisen led Byakuya through half a corridor to a place that looked like a living room. She asked Byakuya to wait there for a moment, saying that her master would be there soon.

Judging from the looks of it, the "master" that Reisen mentioned is probably the same doctor that Mokou told her about.

Sure enough, just as Reisen, who had brought up a pot of freshly brewed tea, stepped down, a woman dressed in a strange outfit that was half red and half blue and printed with constellation patterns sat down opposite Byakuya.

After seeing the woman's face clearly, Bai Ye was certain that Mokou's relationship with the owner of this place was indeed not good. Although she had silver hair, if it weren't for her inappropriate demeanor, no one would probably object to her saying she was a young girl.

If this counts as an auntie... Mom, I want to marry ten aunties like this!

cough cough.

"..." x2

After Reisen left, Byakuya began to stare at the silver-haired woman. Both of them tried to intimidate each other with their eyes, although Byakuya didn't understand why he was doing this.

Wait a minute, he really doesn't seem to need to do that?

"Hey, what's your name, sir?"

Eirin Yagokoro.

"Miss Yagokoro Eirin, may I ask why you summoned me here?" Byakuya took the initiative.

"I'm just curious about what kind of person was the first man to pique her interest in all these years." Yagokoro Eirin smiled. "After all, seeing is believing."

"She...you mean Mokou?"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that your relationship with her is just that of normal friends who can chat for a bit when they meet. Besides, Meihong has already started calling you "Auntie". Even if your relationship with her hasn't reached the point of a life-or-death struggle, it's probably not that good. What's with your act of being so concerned about her?

"Mokou...maybe." Yagokoro Eirin avoided the sensitive topic. "Let's talk about the guest you brought today. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person, does he?"

"So you could be considered... someone who walks on the ground and can exercise the powers of a god?" Bai Ye said somewhat uncertainly, recalling the role of the god-slayer.

"Oh~?" Eirin Yagokoro's eyes lit up with interest: "Tell me more about it?"

"Okay." After checking the time, Bai Ye realized it wasn't too late, so he explained it to her in detail.

……

Lost in the bamboo forest.

After tearing each other apart for a while as usual, Kaguya Houraisan and Mokou Fujiwara, as always, gathered up the pieces of meat that had been scattered on the ground and put them into a large pot that had been filled with water.

Then Mokou took out a card, broke it into pieces, and a bottle of hot pot base appeared in her hand.

Seeing her practiced movements, Kaguya, sitting opposite her, had a flicker in her eyes: "When I came out just now, I think I saw you with two people standing at the door. Were they the strangers you met in the bamboo forest who wanted to seek medical help?"

"You mean those two?" Mokou carefully poured some base ingredients into the pot, then tossed a ball of fire into the pot after checking that it was about right. "I've never seen the older one before either, and as for Byakuya... didn't you see him at my house once before?"

"At your home..." Kaguya feigned sudden realization, "Oh, it was him. No wonder he looked so familiar."

"Tch, all pretentious," Mokou said, scoffing.

She simply couldn't believe that this woman, with her intelligence, wouldn't remember meeting with Byakuya not long ago. After all, based on her understanding of her, aside from the Eientei family, her circle of friends was limited to herself and that strange shikigami called a computer.

According to Bai Ye, it seems that nowadays, using a computer allows you to communicate face-to-face with people who are far away?

"By the way, speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if you brought him to Eientei for medical treatment if he were a stranger, but if he's an acquaintance... are you two very close?" Kaguya asked again, poking at the meat in the pot with her chopsticks out of boredom.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I just had nothing else to do, so I thought I'd check on your daily life. You should be grateful for that." Kaguya stroked her delicate chin, looking at Mokou with a haughty air.

Mokou rolled her eyes at her: "I think you just hadn't had enough of the beating you just got, and now you're bursting with energy with nowhere to vent it."

"Tell me, tell me, tell me!" Kaguya urged, tapping the edge of the pot with her chopsticks.

"Alright, alright, stop banging! I'll get angry if you keep doing that!" Grabbing Kaguya's wrist and forcibly stopping the annoying "ding-ding," Mokou reminisced about her past with Byakuya…

"To be honest, my relationship with him is just that of normal friends. It was probably when he first opened a shop in Gensokyo that a villager reported to me that a brand new shop had suddenly appeared here. As the leader of the Human Village Self-Defense Corps, I naturally went to ask him what was going on as soon as possible. We just got to know each other after that."

"I see." Kaguya nodded, her eyes suddenly falling on Mokou's long white hair, which had reached the ground because of her sitting posture.

A scene flashed through her mind.

That was the night he and Byakuya first met at Mokou's hut, when Byakuya typed a message in the chat: "Byakuya: Thinking about it, I really don't have much resistance to beautiful women with long, flowing hair..."

Back then, she defeated the Cybertronian Decepticon leader living in the Enchanted Forest because of this standard, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But now she's met someone with even longer hair than her...

Emmmmm......

"Mokou, you little bitch, go die, go die, go die QAQ!!!"

Chapter 107 Voban: I want to file a complaint, this is a shady hospital!

In the Eientei reception room, with Eirin Yagokoro guiding the conversation, Byakuya and Eirin's interaction went very smoothly.

It has to be admitted that this is a woman with an absurdly high IQ and EQ. At least Bai Ye was willing to sit here and chat with her for an hour or two, even though he knew there were many "minor problems" in her words.

The conversation was interrupted when the door opened and two figures, both looking somewhat disheveled, walked in.

"How did you two get yourself into such a mess?" Byakuya was startled when he saw Mokou and Kaguya appear at the door.

Mokou's clothes are now tattered and torn, Kaguya's are slightly better, but not much better, and most importantly, there's blood on both of them.

Thankfully, after a careful inspection, Bai Ye found that neither of them was injured. Otherwise, he would have seriously wondered if they had been attacked while playing around.

"Who knows what's wrong with that crazy woman today? She was eating her offal soup peacefully, and then she suddenly went crazy... Tsk!" Mokou glanced at her tattered 943 clothes, looked at Kaguya with disdain, and turned to go into a guest room, probably to clean the stains off her clothes.

As for Kaguya, who was equally disheveled and looked only slightly better than Mokou, she had already changed into an elegant dress and sat solemnly beside Eirin by the time Byakuya noticed something amiss.

If Bai Ye hadn't just seen her and Mokou, he wouldn't have known that such an elegant noble lady could be so uninhibited.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, Bai Ye stood up and nodded to Yagokoro Eirin: "Since they've all returned, I won't bother them any longer. Please take care of Marquis Voban's matter, Miss Eirin. I'll come to check on him again tomorrow or in a couple of days. We can settle the medical bills then."

“Okay, I’ll have Reisen escort you. People who don’t know the specific methods can easily get lost in this bamboo forest.” Yagokoro Eirin nodded in agreement.

"Thank you."

……

"Eirin, Eirin, why did you just let him go like that? You said you'd have a chance to get to know him better!" After Byakuya and Reisen walked out the door, Kaguya, who had been quiet and gentle just moments before, instantly revealed her true nature, pounced on Eirin and shook her shoulders.

“Your Highness, please calm down and mind your image.” Eirin pulled Kaguya away from her without changing her expression: “What do you think I talked to him about in the past few hours? Now, apart from some things he is consciously hiding, I have a lot of information about him, including what you are interested in.”

"But apart from the very beginning and just now, I haven't heard him say a single word!!!"

"Who told you to go out and play with that little girl from the Fujiwara family?" Yagokoro Eirin glanced at her sideways.

"Goo~"

“Trying to be cute won’t work.” Reaching out and poking Kaguya’s puffed-up cheek, Eirin Yagokoro’s eyes flashed with a sharp light: “If you really want to understand him yourself, then you should wait a few days until he comes to pick up the guests here. It’s not proper to call him back now.”

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮" Kaguya huffed and stuck out her pink tongue at Eirin, then stomped her feet hard on the floor, walking towards her game room to the sound of "thump thump thump" background music.
