Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine: "Let me make one thing clear first, unless you can produce a currency similar to this." He took out a premium currency voucher and waved it around, "otherwise, most world currencies are not recognized here."
"???"
"Items accepted by this store..." Bai Ye stroked his chin and summarized based on his existing inventory: "All kinds of cold weapons, firearms, technological creations, magical creations, rare treasures, superpowers, and even lifespans—anything you can offer, except money, I want it all."
"..." Well said, but I have nothing but a little money.
"By the way, if it were you, you might consider this type of product." Bai Ye took out a few cards containing one-time attacks: "After all, your fists look quite powerful."
And most importantly, he can complete a full combo without batting an eye. Could this guy have a perpetual motion machine inside his body?
With his gaze fixed on Saitama's heart, Byakuya suddenly had a bold idea.
"...I don't sell myself!" Sensing a hint of malice, Saitama hugged himself back.
white night:"……"
"Get lost!"
Chapter 201 The Underworld Journey Begins Again
Under the watchful, barely suppressed laughter of Jeanne Alter and the others, Byakuya, with a dark expression, explained how to make these one-time-use attack cards. Saitama, having heard the whole story, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's all it was for? You should have said so earlier... But are you sure doing this won't harm my body?"
"...Where do you think I got so many disposable attack cards?" Bai Ye waved his hand and laid out several thick stacks of sealed cards on the table.
If it weren't for the fact that items sealed by him, the shopkeeper, would be forcibly designated as cards in appearance, Bai Ye would have really wanted to turn some of them into scrolls, and then he could become a wholesaler of forbidden spells in Azeroth in no time...
Wait, it seems like the concept of forbidden spells isn't popular in Azeroth either?
Tsk, you don't understand any change whatsoever. No wonder the Burning Legion is targeting you. (winking)
"Alright." Following Byakuya's instructions, Saitama mentally visualized the process, and sure enough, a card appeared before him. And once the card took shape, his feeling...
It's just like taking a normal breath, completely stress-free.
Name: Normal Punch
Type: Boxing
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Perfect
"Note: How come you've already collapsed before I even exerted myself... Does that do justice to your arrogant and domineering entrance?"
Is a casual punch considered perfect quality?
Upon seeing the words on the back of the card, Bai Ye didn't show any explicit reaction on the surface, but in reality, he was already furious.
He had only suspected it before, but now he was certain that he was no match for the bald man if they faced each other head-on.
"Hey... boss, what do you think is the price for this?"
"How about..." Bai Ye frowned, looking quite conflicted, "What do you think about a thousand yuan?"
"Deal!" Saitama, who had initially thought Bai Ye might raise objections, grabbed Bai Ye's hand and, as if afraid he might change his mind, immediately generated a stack of normal punches, consecutive normal punches, and serious punches without even blinking.
white night:"……"
Dude, don't laugh so happily! And what's with that grateful look on your face, plus that weird chuckle as you turn around like I'm an idiot? I just ripped you off!
"Come visit often when you have time." In the end, all the words in the world were reduced to just this one sentence.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come here often from now on." Saitama, who was picking out household items from the shelves, returned a bright smile.
Both of them felt they had gotten a great deal and, without prior agreement, mentally labeled the other a sucker. However, Saitama was genuinely wronged, while Byakuya...
After all, the customer is king, so as long as Saitama is happy, that's all that matters (serious face).
After Saitama left, Byakuya looked at the blonde girl who was listlessly wandering between the shelves and suddenly remembered something he hadn't noticed before...
"By the way, what's your name?"
"..." The girl took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing her anger. However, after witnessing the various wonders of the dimensional shop, she didn't explode, but gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"Erina Nakiri."
“Erina…” Bai Ye nodded, took out a piece of white paper, wrote a few lines on it, and then passed the paper to the girl: “Based on your previous answer, I will assume that you have accepted the job I offered, but just to be on the safe side, would you please sign a contract first?”
"Hmph!" Erina glared at Bai Ye resentfully before obediently signing her name in the signature column below.
Sensing that the Dimensional Store had acknowledged the contract, Bai Ye smiled with satisfaction and put it away: "Now that the contract is signed, let me take you to meet your clients."
"The one you mentioned who made me your personal chef... isn't that you?" The girl looked at Bai Ye in surprise.
"I'm not really bothered by it myself. As long as you're not too demanding, the so-called living conditions are just so-so. Didn't I mention before that I have a foodie friend? I was thinking of introducing you to her." Bai Ye scratched his chin, then suddenly turned to look at the door: "So, can you open a small window?"
"..."
Yukari Yakumo's answer was also straightforward. Previously, Byakuya could still sense her presence lingering outside the store, but this time she simply disappeared.
"Hmm..." Damn it, if you're so capable, never show your face in front of me again, or I guarantee you won't escape any of the things you did with Yuyuko before!
"It's not like you can't go to the underworld unless you agree."
With a slight pursed lip, Bai Ye silently replicated two ion-anion light spheres. However, before taking this girl to the Underworld, there was one more thing he needed to clarify.
"System, since the Dimensional Shop is connected to the Endless Dimensional Sea, then the world of Gensokyo should be included in it, right?"
"of course."
"Didn't I go to the Underworld before? Can I open a portal and go there directly now?"
"Theoretically, an individual can only have one coordinate in a world. Your current coordinate in the Gensokyo world has been assumed to be the place where you last appeared, namely the Human Village. If you want to travel directly between the Dimensional Shop and the Underworld through the portal, you can simply use the portal to return to the shop while you are still in the Underworld."
"...Alright."
So, if you want to visit Yuyuko at Hakugyokurou anytime in the future, you need to leave a save point there first?
Although the process was a bit troublesome, it was something that would make him feel comfortable for many nights after this one tiring session, so it wasn't unacceptable. Moreover, this way, it wouldn't mean permanently binding that girl named Erina Nakiri to the world of Gensokyo... Just because he was attracted to her cooking skills, he would completely sever her connection with his past. Although he didn't consider himself a good person, he still felt a little guilty about doing that.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye gestured for Erina to follow him, made the ion and anion orbs in his hand collide in the air, and then pulled the girl into the distorted space passage together.
Chapter 202 Grit your teeth and bear it!
After stepping out of the spatial passage, Bai Ye's lips twitched...
Although he didn't get to explore the entire underworld during his last visit, one thing was certain: the underworld was generally dark and gloomy, even the Jade Tower, which was supposedly moved from the human world, was no exception, and it didn't seem to fit the peaceful atmosphere in front of him at all.
So, instead of going to the underworld, I ended up in some unknown alternate dimension?
Looking around at the surroundings and feeling the peaceful yet lonely atmosphere, Byakuya curled his lip in disdain... Compared to Gensokyo, this was not a place for normal people to live in at all.
Well, even a normal demon wouldn't choose this place.
“You are…” A woman with long blue-purple hair suddenly appeared not far away, looking at Bai Ye warily: “Intruders?”
"What would you think if I said we just took the wrong turn?" Bai Ye gave what he considered a fairly friendly smile.
21
"I see." To Bai Ye's surprise, the other party didn't think she was playing a trick on her. Instead, she nodded seriously and stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, watching him and Erina.
Unable to withstand the gaze, Bai Ye had to abandon his idea of wandering around and directly replicated a pair of anion and cation orbs to leave.
After the spatial channel opened by the ion-anion light spheres closed, the woman, who was about to leave, suddenly turned her head to look in the other direction...
"I~ Jiu~~~" A blue-haired girl appeared in front of her, bouncing around: "Besides you, was there anyone else here just now?"
"No."
"No, that's impossible. I can already sense it. It's a vibrant girl, and there's a strange scent about her, like... those weird human condiments?"
"..."
No wonder the Emperor could still sense something was wrong even though he felt that the man had perfect control over his power and there was no way he could leak it out. It was because of the girl beside him.
"Forget it, even if it were true, you wouldn't tell me anyway. I'll just go find my own fun."
Seeing that she did not admit it, the blue-haired girl left in a similar manner to when she came, and casually took a ripe peach from her hat and took a bite.
Juice splashed everywhere.
……
On the other hand, after leaving that strange place, Byakuya inexplicably arrived in a world with an art style similar to the underworld, but which he could confirm was not. He was attacked by a silver-haired woman with a powerful aura. After returning the blow with a serious punch reminiscent of Saitama, he finally dragged the terrified Erina to the underworld.
Yes, it's the same Sanzu River as last time.
However, compared to the last time he came, Komachi didn't feel as comfortable when he saw R-town this time.
When Byakuya arrived this time, he only saw Komachi's back. Opposite her, the green-haired loli Shiki Eiki, who had once boasted at the Hakurei Shrine but was terrified into silence by the evil forces led by Kazami Yuuka, was hopping around. Overall, the two got along fairly well... if Shiki Eiki didn't hit Komachi on the head with her repentance stick every time she jumped up.
"Huh, a spirit with its own consciousness has appeared?" Shiki Eiki was taken aback when she saw Bai Ye and Erina, but quickly realized, "Wait, it's you? You're not dead?"
"...Why do I sense your disappointment that I'm not dead?" Bai Ye looked at the Enma girl with dead fish eyes.
"You have the nerve to say that? Why did you come to the Underworld as living beings? Just having Yakumo Yukari, who treats Hakugyokurou like her own home, is enough to annoy me. If it weren't for the fact that Hakugyokurou is keeping Saigyou Ayakashi in check, I would beat her up every time I see her. And now there's you too!" Shiki Eiki's face was full of resentment: "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today..."
"Or... could you treat me like Yukari Yakumo?"
“…Damn it!”

"Stop, stop! I'm not saying this to be mean, but even if you're unhappy because I entered the Underworld as a living being, there's no need to punish me in this kind of silly way, is there?" Bai Ye looked at the frizzy little girl who was constantly hitting her body with the Repentance Stick, both amused and exasperated.
As for why she knocked on his body instead of his head like she knocked on Komachi's, Bai Ye maliciously guessed that it was most likely because he was much taller than Komachi, and even if he jumped up, the little girl might not be able to knock him on the head 100% of the time.
"Huh? Someone like you who would trespass into the underworld for personal gain is actually free of sin?" Hearing Bai Ye's nonchalant tone, Shiki Eiki let out a soft exclamation, staring at Bai Ye for a while before suddenly taking two steps back: "No, why is it that no matter what you do, you are never tainted by sin, nor can you gain merit? This shouldn't happen to either living beings or the dead..."
"Perhaps... because my roots don't lie in this world?"
"……heresy!"
You son of a bitch...!
"Fine, fine, since it's you anyway, I'm unlikely to really do anything to you. But I still have to warn you first..." Shiki Eiki's gaze was fixed on Byakuya's face: "I have only one request: whatever you do, don't break the 130th order of the Underworld, otherwise even if Yakumo Yukari protects you, I'll make you pay!"
"Don't worry, I'm usually pretty well-behaved." Having saved himself the trouble of a fight, Bai Ye chuckled twice in response, even if it would just be a spell card battle, a kind of "game"... time is something you accumulate little by little, after all.
Most of the time... Hearing such obviously perfunctory words, Four Seasons Loli gritted her teeth and suddenly looked at the Grim Reaper with huge breasts who had been scolded by her for slacking off earlier.
"Komachi, stay by his side until he leaves the underworld."
"Lord Shiki, I promise I will work hard from now on, never slack off, never sleep, and never speak ill of you behind your back. Please, please don't make me leave the Sanzu River I love! QAQ"
"...Besides being lazy, you've also been talking badly about me behind my back?" Shiki Eiki raised an eyebrow.
"..."
"Mr. Byakuya, where are we going next? Is it still Byakuya?" Komachi's expression changed, she picked up her large scythe and looked at Byakuya with a stern face, while desperately trying to wink at Byakuya where Shiki Eiki couldn't see.
"Even if you say that now, don't think I'll pretend I didn't hear you. You'd better grit your teeth and take this loving blow!"
Chapter 203 My Special Techniques for Waking People Up
After Eiki Shiki finally left satisfied, Komachi had drool dripping from her mouth as if she had been thoroughly played with. As for Byakuya... he seemed to be enjoying the show.
"Hey, who was that person just now? And where is this place?"
After looking around and confirming that the four seasons had already passed, Erina Nakiri tugged at the hem of Byakuya's clothes.
"Enma."
"Enma... Enma... Enma what the hell?"
"Enma, huh? She's the chief judge of Hell... right? Komachi?"
"Ah? Yes, Lord Shiki is a judge in the Hall of Right and Wrong, and also my direct superior, Komachi. Calling him Enma wouldn't be a problem in terms of rank." Wiping her mouth, Komachi curiously looked at Erina Nakiri: "Who is this? Although I, Komachi, have always found it annoying that Lord Shiki keeps spouting useless nonsense, it's really not good to just bring mortals to the Underworld. It's easy to break the rules... no, it should be said that bringing people down is breaking the rules... no, more accurately, it's that you coming down is breaking the rules."
"And then?" Bai Ye yawned.
"..."
Why does Lady Shiki keep harping on trivial things like me being lazy and sleeping, while turning a blind eye to villains like you? Sure enough, when she judges right and wrong, she still makes minor adjustments based on her personal opinions, doesn't she?
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with your affairs. Getting you to Hakugyokurou is enough." With a long sigh, Komachi casually stuck her scythe upside down in the ground, then placed her left and right hands on Hakuyo and Erina's shoulders respectively. Before she could react, Erina noticed her surroundings shift, followed by…
"vomit……"
