"No."
"Oh, that startled me." Alice patted her chest, which didn't rise and fall much.
"If Shenqi saw how afraid you are of her, she'd probably be heartbroken and burst into tears, right?"
"Gurgle~ But Mother's personality..."
Thinking of her somewhat childish old friend, Kazami Yuuka chuckled to herself.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. I happen to have some free time here today, so let me help you tidy up your room, Yuuka-nee." Looking at the messy state of the room, Alice picked up a showerhead from the floor with a troubled expression: "Yuuka-nee, can't you take care of your house a little bit like you take care of the flowers outside?"
“How could that be? A mere house… how could it be more important than flowers?” Yuuka Kazami resolutely refused.
Chapter 021 Oh dear, how embarrassing!
After leaving the sunflower field, Fujiwara no Mokou's gaze towards Byakuya could only be described as horrified.
"Hey... Mokou, what kind of look is that?"
"What do you think? That's the Flower Field Tyrant, her fighting power is among the top in the entire Gensokyo. How could you fight her to a standstill?"
Fujiwara no Mokou clicked her tongue in amazement, as if she had seen some prehistoric monster.
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
Bai Ye scratched the back of his head.
The Dimensional Shop truly fulfills the obligations of an exchange; as long as you can afford the Source Coins, it can provide all the services you want…
Even if the counterparty is the store manager.
With his invincibility activated, when Kazami Yuuka's fists and feet landed on him, it was like a young girl in love flirting with her lover, whimpering and pounding her chest with her little fists... cough.
"How can it not be that exaggerated?" Mokou gestured dramatically with her hands in the air: "You might not believe it, but I've always suspected that there's more fertilizer buried in the soil of that flower field than there are sunflowers on top."
What kind of fertilizer?
"..." Mokou looked Byakuya up and down: "If you fall in front of the Flower Tyrant today, then you will be one of the Flower Fertilizers."
Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine.
Byakuya believed Fujiwara no Mokou's explanation of the flower fertilizer almost without hesitation, which provided a good explanation for many of the inexplicable things about Kazami Yuuka.
For example, Mokou's reaction when she first saw sunflowers in the store.
For example, why did the residents of the Human Village scatter as if they had been struck by a plague just because Yuuka Kazami gave her a small glance?
For example, why would that blonde heiress with such a nice feel think that seeking out Yuuka Kazami would help her vent her anger?
For example...
Ok?
"Mokou, this doesn't seem to be the way back to the Human Village, does it?"
“That’s not how it was supposed to be.” Fujiwara no Mokou stopped and looked back at him strangely. “I have a place to stay in the Bamboo Forest of Lost Souls. Since we’ve already come this far, we might as well go back and get something… I asked you when we left the Sunflower Field, and you agreed, didn’t you?”
"Uh……"
Thinking back carefully, it seems that I was savoring the wonderful touch of a certain part of Alice's body at that time.
"Then I'll take the opportunity to visit your home."
……
Perhaps to adapt to local customs or simply for convenience, Fujiwara no Mokou's house in the Lost Bamboo Forest was built using locally sourced bamboo.
It certainly can't compare to the creations of the professional construction teams in the Human Village, but considering that Mokou built it all by herself, Byakuya felt no pressure to give it a thumbs up...
Anyway, he can't build it.
After leading Byakuya and Black Jeanne to the living room and sitting down, Fujiwara no Mokou went into the kitchen, saying she was going to make them a cup of tea.
According to her, although her skills had become a bit rusty from not brewing tea for so long, and the tea she brewed might not taste very good, serving tea to guests was the most basic courtesy.
These were taught to her by the wondrous voice of wisdom.
Although Bai Ye couldn't imagine what it would be like for this tomboyish girl to make tea, he couldn't persuade her otherwise and could only hope that the final result wouldn't be too bad.
At least you have to be able to drink it.
"Yo-ho! Turkey, what are you doing hiding in there? I know you're back!"
Suddenly, a cheerful, energetic girl's voice rang out from outside the door.
Then, with a loud "bang," the door was kicked open.
white night:"……"
Jeanne Alter: "..."
The girl, realizing that the situation inside was not quite what she had imagined, thought, "..."
"Excuse me, I've come to the wrong door."
Her gaze swept around the room, then the girl silently withdrew her bare feet, bowed slightly to the two people inside, closed the door, and stepped back.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
"Wait a minute, this is Mokou's room, right? Who are you?" The door opened again, and the girl looked at Byakuya and Black Jeanne suspiciously in the doorway.
Breaking into a house?
"I guess you could call her... um... friend?" Bai Ye said uncertainly, then called out towards the kitchen, "Mokou, don't linger in there, you have a guest."
"Guests? What guests would I have here?"
At the kitchen doorway, Fujiwara no Mokou poked her head out. Seeing the pretty girl standing there, she scoffed disdainfully, "What, it's you? Looking for trouble again?"
Glancing at Byakuya, whose gaze had instantly turned strange, the girl felt an urge to strangle Mokou, that tomboy.
Chapter 022 The Tea Brewed by Mokou~
The living room of Fujiwara no Mokou's house in the lost bamboo forest.
Byakuya stared hesitantly at the teacup in her hand, while Black Jeanne looked at the girl who had kicked down the door with a strange gaze. The girl, on the other hand, held the teacup with both hands and sipped it slowly.
There was no trace of the domineering aura he displayed when he kicked down the door earlier.
The girl calls herself Kaguya Houraisan and is a pure Eastern beauty.
With waist-length black hair and an outfit consisting of a top and a skirt, she revealed nothing except her face and hands, yet she still managed to elevate her beauty to a peak with her exquisite features and porcelain-like skin...
If I had to say, it's probably like Alice from before?
Thinking of what Bai Ye had done to Alice, a crack appeared in the teacup that Black Jeanne was holding.
As for Bai Ye, he was pondering whether or not to drink the cup of tea in his hand.
Name: Tea
Type: Daily Necessities
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Average
"Note: This is indeed tea, and it is brewed to a wonderful aroma. I believe that holding a cup of this tea in your hand while sitting on a long corridor after the rain would be a real pleasure... if this tea was not picked three hundred years ago."
Three hundred years!
Holy crap, it feels like Gensokyo is a place where all sorts of unscientific things gather.
The flower fairy who should be weak in theory, but in reality, could shatter a mountain with a single punch;
Fujiwara no Mokou, whose attitude towards ordinary people is somewhat ambiguous, protects the human village from monsters.
The subtle feeling that lingered after I stepped out of the store, as if someone was watching me from behind...
Now we also have to add tea leaves that have been stored for three hundred years and still smell so good when brewed.
How about... for Mokou's sake, you try a sip?
Thinking that "since it's tea, it shouldn't cause any problems if I take a sip," Bai Ye took a small sip.
The taste is actually quite good?
Just as Byakuya was about to praise Mokou, he saw a line of text floating in front of him: "Cleanses toxins from the body, Origin Coins -233".
That's a notification from the Dimensional Shop regarding a charge.
"How about it?"
Seeing that Byakuya was about to bite, Mokou, who was trying to kill Kaguya with her eyes, quickly turned her head and asked.
"The taste is not bad." As Bai Ye said this, his conscience trembled slightly, as if it had been stained with a faint layer of black.
Hearing her Master say this, and having trusted her Master's taste over the past few days, Jeanne Alter also took a sip, and her expression instantly became very complicated...
Jeanne Alter glanced at the blood-red Dragon Witch Crest on the back of Byakuya's hand, took a deep breath, and chose to remain silent.
Kaguya Houraisan nodded in agreement: "Mokou's skills are quite good, and I always find her tea very stimulating."
"..."
Of course it's exciting! If I were to take a normal attack from Yuuka Kazami, the amount of Origin Coins I would need to withstand would only be one or two thousand, but the number that just passed by has already reached three digits. Judging by the numbers, it wouldn't be a problem to poison an ordinary person to death.
But this girl named Kaguya, without even changing her expression, finished the whole cup...
You actually asked for a refill?!
"Speaking of which... is Mr. Byakuya a human?" Kaguya asked casually after refilling her teacup and taking a sip.
"Humans, at least for now."
Given the current state of the Dimensional Shop, where anything can be sold and anything is dared to be sold, Bai Ye believes that it's only a matter of time before someone sells their power or bloodline.
Regarding bloodlines, Bai Ye felt he wouldn't make a decision easily, but as for power...
Hey hey hey.
As for why Bai Ye was so certain...

Name: Vitality (1 day)
Type: Vitality
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Average
"Note: It's the life force that can extend an ordinary person's life by one day. Although it's not much, if a suitable buyer is found, it should be possible to make a fortune."
One day's worth of life force can be recycled for 1 Origin Coin at the Dimensional Shop.
The vitality he possessed that day came from a sudden idea by Byakuya on his way from the sunflower field to the lost bamboo forest: to sell his life. After selling it, he felt weak for a moment, but it was immediately replenished by the life essence given to him by Kazami Yuuka.
“Humans…” Kaguya repeated, looking at Mokou with some emotion: “It’s really surprising that you, a person from Hourai, would actually make friends with humans. I thought that besides me, your only friend was that Bai Ze who teaches in the human village.”
"What do you mean by that?" Mokou glared at Kaguya, displeased.
"What do you think?" Kaguya placed the teacup on the table and pulled up her sleeve to cover her face. "I thought that after all these years, Mokou, you had come to realize your status as an immortal being."
"Tch!" Mokou glanced at her sideways: "If you think a human who can fight the tyrant of Sunflower Field to a draw would worry about such trivial things, then never mind what I said."
"Huh? The Lord of Flowers in All Seasons?"
According to Eirin's guess, wasn't it because he was able to block the magic cannon with his face that the store granted him some kind of authority?
She had even planned to wait a few decades to test his character before asking Yonglin to "help him," since there were very few people these days who could keep up with her way of thinking... even if it was just in a game.
Chapter 023 The Dragon's Jewel
Is the awakening of immortal beings related to their human identity?
With a little thought, Byakuya understood Kaguya's meaning.
Is this because he's worried that his connection with Mokou is too deep, and that he might cause her harm when he reaches the end of his life?
“If you’re talking about my lifespan… then it shouldn’t be a big problem.” Shaking his head slightly, Bai Ye temporarily converted 20,000 Origin Points of life force and then divided them into two portions, sending them to them.
