Even the nickname has been affected by this little girl's verbal tic?
After mentally complaining, Byakuya returned the mini Bagua Furnace to Marisa.
"How about it? My mini Bagua Furnace is pretty good, isn't it?" Marisa took the mini Bagua Furnace and stuffed it somewhere, then looked at Byakuya with a smug look in her eyes, her tone full of boasting: "This is Karinko's creation, a one-of-a-kind Da☆Ze in the whole world!"
"Hmm...it's quite a nice item," Bai Ye gave a relatively fair answer.
"Hehe~"
After chatting with Marisa for a while, seeing that she was mostly focused on the pile of materials in her hands, Byakuya took the initiative to say goodbye and told her the address of the Dimensional Shop in the Human Village before leaving.
By this time, it was completely dark.
The magic forest during the day and the magic forest under the cover of night give people completely different feelings.
During the day, this place is just a slightly eerie grove, but at night...
What the heck is it that you can hear all sorts of ghostly wails and wailing, plus some special effects that cost between 50 and 80 cents every few steps? (sigh)
"Master?" Seeing Bai Ye standing there silently, staring at the magical forest that was beginning to become abnormal, Black Jeanne called out tentatively beside him.
"Hmm... Joan of Arc, don't you feel that the atmosphere here is a bit off?"
"no?"
"Ok?"
“Something is very wrong.” Jeanne Alter said with a serious expression.
Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, if the master has expressed his opinion, then it's wrong!
The kind that doesn't accept rebuttal!
"I knew it." Trusting his own Servant, Byakuya immediately believed Jeanne Alter's words, and with a flick of his wrist, a card appeared in his hand.
Name: Basic Magical Cannon
Type: Energy Attack
"Attribute: Nature"
Quality: Excellent
"Note: I'm dedicating every bit of my strength to world peace. I feel like I'm seeing doves of peace flying past me... Wait, where are the doves?"
That's right, it's the basic magic cannon from Kazami Yuuka, which costs 1,000 Origin Coins per shot.
It's not that this is her full-power output. Based on what Bai Ye saw that time, in addition to the basic magic cannon, Kazami Yuuka also has a serious version of the basic magic cannon, an extremely serious basic magic cannon, and a double-barreled magic cannon with explosive output.
As for whether there are any weapons above the Double-Barreled Magic Cannon, Bai Ye doesn't know.
Given his current market value, a basic magic cannon shot costing a thousand...
Just right!
He broke the card into pieces, and a ball of green light appeared in Bai Ye's hand.
Without pausing for long, Bai Ye aimed directly at the direction from which the sounds of the demons and monsters were loudest and fired a shot.
boom--
The surroundings became quiet instantly.
Before Bai Ye could even catch his breath, he noticed a suspicious pendant on his thigh...
The blonde girl who had separated from them just over ten minutes ago was now clinging to his lap, staring at the direction of the explosion, her eyes shining like stars.
"Master~~~"
white night:"……"
……
It's quite simple that this situation can occur.
Not long after Byakuya and Jeanne Alter left, Marisa, who was preparing a potion for herself, looked up and suddenly realized that the sky outside the window had completely darkened.
No one knows better than those who live in the Enchanted Forest how terrifying it is at night.
Even if it weren't for the fact that Byakuya and she had a pretty good chat, Marisa couldn't just watch two grown men die, even if they were just strangers she had only met once.
Marisa hurriedly grabbed a few potions that had already been made, tucked her miniature octagonal furnace into her pocket, and headed out the door.
What happened next was quite simple. Not far away, she, who had always admired the idea that "firepower is justice," saw Bai Ye, whom she had treated as an ordinary person, easily unleash the most powerful magic cannon she had ever seen.
Chapter 057 White Night: I'm Still a Kind Person
After realizing what the brat had said, Bai Ye grabbed her clothes from behind and pulled her in front of him with a dark face.
"Don't use certain names for children carelessly."
"So, Master, will you teach me that magic cannon move you just used?"
"Don't talk to me like that, you brat!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen a magic cannon with such power! I can't help but get excited!"
"..."
There's no one around, so I think no one will say anything if I secretly beat up this little girl, right?
"Master!"
Seeing that Byakuya's gaze towards Marisa was becoming increasingly strange, Jeanne Alter, recalling a previous incident, was startled and quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Tsk...keep a close eye on this girl." Even though she was already being held and suspended in mid-air, Marisa's limbs were still flailing, trying to pounce on Byakuya.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye tossed her into Hei Zhen's arms.
It wasn't that he was worried that spending too much time with the little girl would awaken some strange interests; the main problem was that holding onto this constantly bouncing, living person was too tiring, and he was almost too exhausted to lift her.
As a Heroic Spirit, Jeanne Alter possesses strength rated A. Although Byakuya doesn't know how these A, B, C, D, EX and other data are evaluated, calming down a mere little loli is no problem.
With just one move of embracing a girl, Marisa instantly calmed down.
Why doesn't Bai Ye activate invincibility to counteract gravity?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Bai Ye slapped the little Bai Ye figure that had made the suggestion flying.
What kind of bizarre thought process must one have to do something so depraved?
"Hey..." After Marisa calmed down, Jeanne Alter turned her questioning gaze to Byakuya: "What do we do with this little guy next?"
"Hmm..." Bai Ye also fell into thought.
How to deal with this girl is indeed a problem.
Should we send them directly back to the Misty Rain Magic Shop?
Although Marisa was currently suppressed by Jeanne Alter and unable to retaliate, her bright eyes had already conveyed her answer to Byakuya—
Get rid of me?
I don't think about it!
“How about…” Black Jeanne thought for a moment with her head down, then suddenly reached out and burned a tree next to her to ashes, “Let her die peacefully, no one will see anyway.”
"..." x2
"Just kidding." Despite being stared at with horrified looks by Bai Ye and the little girl in his arms, Black Jeanne coughed without changing her expression.
When Byakuya met Marisa's gaze again, he realized that he could also see lingering resentment within it.
"How about this?" After thinking it over carefully, Bai Ye slammed his left hand into his right palm: "Let's take her back to the Human Village first, so that nothing else happens in the middle of the night. I'll explain things to her properly then... If we really can't explain it, isn't this little girl's father still running a general store in the Human Village?"
“Good idea.” Jeanne Alter nodded.
Marisa's father runs a general store in the Human Village. This was something Byakuya managed to get out of Marisa during a casual conversation. It's likely that the girl never imagined that this seemingly insignificant piece of information would become Byakuya's ultimate weapon against her...
Perhaps she didn't even think of that yet?
Watching Marisa skip and hop along behind him excitedly after he made his decision, Byakuya suspected that the little girl's intelligence was comparable to Cirno's.
……
The Magic Forest isn't actually that big, but it's definitely not small either.
Back then, Yuuka Kazami's furious attack could carve a trench from the northeast entrance to the southwest exit of the Enchanted Forest, but a simple basic magic cannon shot fired casually...
Because of the extremely similar demonic powers between the two, there were not many demons left near the destination of Byakuya's basic magic cannon, but after walking for a while, the number of demons around him increased again.
Those creatures that appear in the Enchanted Forest at night, especially those with delicate skin like White Night Black Jeanne and Marisa, are either easy prey for the forest's monsters, or powerful figures who can kill them with a single glance...
Given the recent appearance of a demonic energy fluctuation resembling that of the Flower Field Tyrant, the demons selectively ignored this group of three.
Most monsters are quite sensible.
Filling your stomach is easy; when you're starving, you can even manage with grass, let alone the mushrooms that grow everywhere in the Magic Forest. But to kill yourself because of a moment's craving for food... just thinking about it makes me feel like I've lost a lot!
As for the very few who were short-sighted, they were all burned to ashes by Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who was in a rather unpleasant mood.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the village of humans, a strange voice suddenly rang out.
"Cuckoo~"
"Cuckoo~"
"A pigeon?" For some inexplicable reason, Bai Ye thought of the notes given to the basic magic cannon in the Dimensional Shop.
"It looks like this little girl is hungry, doesn't it?" Jeanne Alter rolled her eyes.
"I just heard from Mokou that there's a place nearby that sells food at night. Shall we go check it out?" Baiye snapped his fingers and suggested.
Chapter 058 White Night: There Must Be Something Fishy About This
The place Byakuya was referring to was the Beast Path, a passage connecting the human village to the Hakurei Shrine, where the legendary shrine maiden who guarded the Great Barrier resided.
Seemingly out of fear of the mysterious, despite the fact that the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's duty is to protect humanity from monsters, people don't really like her...
Over time, although the road leading to Hakurei Shrine remains open, very few people actually use it anymore.
The most diligent travelers are probably the Hakurei Shrine Maidens who go to the human village to buy necessities.
Gradually, this place became a gathering place for all sorts of monsters at night, and in recent years, it has been rare to hear of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden going out at night.
According to Mokou, a newly opened barbecue stall there is quite good. The owner is a night sparrow yokai, and her yakini (eel) is so delicious that both yokai and humans rave about it.
Although Byakuya was skeptical that there would be humans outside the village at night.
But anyway, since Mokou has said so, I suppose even if the tastes are different, it won't be too bad, right?
The power of delicious food can transcend species!
Driven by a certain curiosity, Byakuya and Black Jeanne led Marisa along the beast path.
They hadn't gone far when they heard a commotion ahead.
If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear a faint...singing sound amidst the noise?
Raising an eyebrow, Byakuya turned and exchanged a glance with Jeanne Alter, then took Marisa's hand and walked toward the direction from which the singing was coming.
It's not actually that far.
The owner of that voice was just singing normally, without using any fancy tricks like telepathy, so after walking a while, Bai Ye saw the singing... monster among a bunch of demons and monsters.
With a pair of wings on her back, and the singing alone causing Bai Ye to see notifications every now and then about consuming Origin Coins to activate a shield, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that the proprietress standing behind the barbecue stall was human.
The appearance of Bai Ye and his two companions did not attract much attention from the monsters present, who were all busy with their own affairs.
In fact, after seeing this scene, Byakuya already believed Mokou's statement that "because Gensokyo is too peaceful, many youkai are now practically dead."
What normal monster would open a food street only a few kilometers away from a human village? (sigh)
And to make matters worse, the food street is being used for transactions, and the currency used in the human village is the same one you all use! Your yokai bloodline is crying out in pain!
Suppressing the urge to complain, Byakuya took out some coins from his pocket, gave some to Jeanne Alter and Marisa respectively, and then sat down at a table in a dumpling shop, waiting for the owner to serve the food.
After all, it's a shop run by a yokai. Even Bai Ye finds it quite remarkable that they would think of setting up a few tables at the entrance for customers to use. So, sharing a table with someone isn't unacceptable, especially since the person sharing the table with is a pink-haired girl with a fantastic figure...
Bai Ye clicked his tongue as he watched the male demons who wouldn't come closer even when six or seven of them were crammed around a table.
Is there really such a big difference in aesthetics between monsters and humans?
He clearly felt that sitting next to this pink-haired girl would allow him to eat several more skewers of meatballs.
