Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 59

What's with this feeling of losing something very important?

"Blue~"

"blue--"

"blue?!!"

"Lady Yukari, is there anything I can do for you?" The big fox, who had just been doing housework and taking care of the children, heard Yukari's third call and immediately put down what she was holding and rushed over.

"Did anything major happen while we were sleeping?"

“Big news…” Her brain, as sharp as a supercomputer, was working overtime. Yakumo Ran quickly sorted out all the big and small things that had happened in Gensokyo during Yakumo Yukari’s sleep.

"If I really want to talk about something big, there are only two things. The first is that not long ago, a new schoolteacher appeared in the Human Village. He looks like a fierce person who has been on the battlefield for many years. His sword feels very dangerous to me."

"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case. If a powerful expert who could cause you trouble were to pass through the great barrier, we should have sensed it." Yakumo Yukari frowned slightly.

"Logically speaking, that's how it is, but Lady Yukari seems to have missed something..." Yakumo Ran whispered a reminder.

"Dimensional Shop?"

"Yes, the teacher who called himself Hassan first appeared when he came out of that shop, and there are no records of him before that. Based on my observations these past few days, he is very likely the first Hassan who founded the Assassins in history, but I don't know why he appeared in Gensokyo a thousand years later."

"And what is his attitude towards Gensokyo?"

"Should..." Thinking of Hassan, whose clothes were probably so uncomfortable they'd hurt someone, yet somehow he was loved by the children, Yakumo Ran wiped the sweat from her forehead...

If it really is the original Hassan, whose true face no one has ever seen, then this characterization is seriously distorted.

Or perhaps the Assassins started out as just a kindergarten?

Tsk tsk.

"Let's leave the temple school aside for now. Since that Bai Ze has already acknowledged his status as a teacher, even if there are any problems, they shouldn't be too significant. Besides, the Human Village isn't just..." Yakumo Yukari paused, then abruptly changed the subject: "What about the second thing?"

"Miss Yuyuko somehow learned that there was a corpse buried under the Saigyou Ayakashi, so she asked Youmu to collect almost all the spring flowers in Gensokyo in order to make the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom again."

"Such an important matter, and you only informed us now that we've asked? Lan... you've really grown some guts, haven't you?"

"..." The big fox trembled with fear at Yakumo Yukari's gaze.

"I'll deal with you when we get back. You'd better pray that nothing happens to Yuyuko, otherwise... hmph."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gap opened up in front of Yukari Yakumo, swallowing her up while she was still wrapped in a blanket.

The scene changed, and the next second she was already in Yuyuko's boudoir.

"..."

"You bastard surnamed Bai, I treated you as a friend, but not only did you want to sleep with me, you actually slept with my girlfriend first?!" The sage's angry voice echoed throughout the entire White Jade Tower, startling the cherry blossoms around it that had fully bloomed after absorbing the spring energy, causing them to tremble and scatter petals all over the ground.

However, the two figures inside the blankets completely ignored her, this unexpected guest, and continued to wriggle around, making Yakumo Yukari's lips twitch wildly.

"No, this is... the effect of Springtime?"

Just as she was about to start tearing them apart, Yakumo Yukari suddenly smelled a sweet scent in the air. Then, recalling the second thing Ran had just told her, she immediately understood the current state of the two people in bed.

"hateful……"

Yakumo Yukari glared hatefully at Byakuya, who had already "gained the upper hand," and then left, pretending she had never been there.

……

When Bai Ye "woke up," her memories were still a bit jumbled, but her body felt really comfortable... cough.

"Are you awake?"

"..."

"Stop pretending." Bai Ye casually pinched it... It's so soft, and so big!

"...Then what do you want me to say? Just because you had a sudden whim and sent Youmu to collect Spring Dew, you ended up losing everything?" Yuyuko opened her eyes, blinked her red pupils, and looked at the mess in the room.

If she had known that this kind of bizarre turn of events would happen, she would have starved to death or been bored to death in the Hakugyokurou every day, but she would never have had the idea of ​​"letting the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom completely and seeing what kind of people are buried underneath".

Now look what's happened! All the spring energy that Youmu painstakingly collected over such a long time is gone, and she herself is gone too...

Ah—why was it White Night who appeared at that time, and not Purple?!

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything again?"

"Humph!"

"I'm serious. I only came here hoping to run into Yukari Yakumo and have her send me back to the Human Village. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have pushed open that door... Hey, hey, hey, why are you biting me?"

"So you feel wronged because of what happened between us?" Yuyuko released her mouth, tilted her head back, and glared at Byakuya with displeasure: "Although I also wish you hadn't pushed the door open back then, only I can say such things, not you... Do you hear me?!"

"I heard it, I heard it..."

"Still trying to fool me, you bastard!" Yuyuko snorted and bit Baiye's arm again.

"I swear I didn't mean what you think..."

"Well?"

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? The effects of Springtime should have subsided by now..."

Why... of course, it's to express my attitude.

Byakuya hugged Yuyuko tightly, who seemed to have little resistance to begin with, and turned over to change his position.

Lost in her reverie, Yakumo Yukari, who had secretly left a gap in Yuyuko's boudoir, stiffly twitched her facial muscles and plucked out another tuft of fox fur.

Looking at her half-bald tail, Yakumo Ran tried to struggle frantically, but as a shikigami, she could only obediently follow Yakumo Yukari's will, lying down and letting Yakumo Yukari vent her anger by pulling her fur.

Chapter 142 Congratulations to player Bai Ye for achieving a double kill!

He spent several days cuddling with Yuyuko, whom he was only meeting for the third time, without even knowing what was going on. Finally, due to the arrival of Yukari Yakumo, the two of them reluctantly parted ways.

While Yukari Yakumo wasn't looking, Byakuya slipped Yuyuko a key card that was originally intended for other worlds, just as a small experiment...

Seeing the carefree (or perhaps oblivious?) girl's delighted expression as she accepted the card, Bai Ye felt something was off.

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd filled with malice, Bai Ye returned to the human world through the gap.

"What's wrong with you this time?" Black Jeanne's face showed obvious displeasure when she saw Bai Ye appear.

We agreed that we were only going to a temple school.

She practically plowed up the entire underground of the village over the past few days.

"Um... if I said I inexplicably went to the underworld of Gensokyo and stayed for a few days, would you believe me?" As he spoke, Byakuya casually put half a bucket of water from the Sanzu River on the ground.

Jeanne Alter: "..."

If that's the case, then I can barely accept his disappearance over the past few days, but why do I still feel like something's not right?

"Little Jeanne, don't be angry, I promise it won't happen again." He casually put his arm around Black Jeanne's shoulder, then naturally leaned in, only realizing it when they were almost kissing... This was the Black Jeanne he was currently flirting with, not the soft-spoken, docile Yuyuko who allowed him to do whatever he wanted!

But since we've already gotten together, we should still kiss.

While Bai Ye was stamping his face, Black Jeanne smelled the unique scent of his shower gel. She raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything in the end. She just told him very seriously that there should never be a next time.

Having gotten away with it by charming Jeanne Alter and ignoring the twin sisters' obvious suspicions, Byakuya returned behind the counter, lay down, and fell asleep within minutes.

Perhaps because this is a dimensional shop, and he doesn't need to worry about being attacked, Bai Ye didn't keep a portion of his spiritual senses awake, unlike he did at Baiyulou, even when sleeping in Yuyuko's arms, to prevent any sudden accidents...

I'm definitely not worried about Yukari Yakumo (serious face).

So what Byakuya didn't see was that after confirming that he had fallen asleep, the twin sisters quietly waved to Jeanne Alter, and then the three of them huddled together and whispered to each other.

……

A few days later, taking advantage of a rare free time, Bai Ye finally decided to give his dimensional shop a proper makeover.

The interior decoration of the Dimensional Shop is just the exterior of the general store that Bai Ye had before he transmigrated. Although it has gained various unique functions after merging with the Dimensional Shop, you have to admit that, judging by its appearance alone, this thing is really not that great.

In fact, those who come here to ask for favors from the Dimensional Shop are fine, but for people like Aiwas or Yakumo Yukari, the existence of the Dimensional Shop is certainly better, but even if it were gone, they would only feel sorry at most, and they wouldn't hold back their complaints about the Dimensional Shop... Well, perhaps if Byakuya disappeared with the Dimensional Shop now, some idle person would even applaud.

Glancing at his Origin Coin balance, which had unknowingly reached nine figures, Bai Ye suddenly thought of what the system had said to him a long time ago, when he had just obtained the Dimensional Shop.

If I remember correctly, it seems that spending 1 million Origin Coins is enough to upgrade the portal?

"System, it's time to make a decision. Do you think I should upgrade the portal first, or renovate the appearance of this place to make myself more comfortable?"

"Considering the long-term development of the Dimensional Store, we recommend that the store manager choose the former," the voice of the Dimensional Store Assistant Program replied.

Opening the store manager's personal panel, Bai Ye indeed saw a green up symbol next to his level this time.

"In that case, let's renovate this place first. If we still have enough Origin Coins by then, I'll upgrade the portal."

"..."

If that auxiliary program had its own emotions, it would probably be cursing Bai Yepi right now.

After mentally simulating his vision for the next stage of development of the Dimensional Shop, Bai Ye drew his ideas on a blueprint and then had the system check and begin modifying it according to this template.

Under the curious gazes of Jeanne Alter and the twin sisters, the space inside the Dimensional Shop suddenly expanded to several times its original size, and several windows suddenly opened on the walls of the Dimensional Shop. Through the transparent window glass, one could see the grass outside and the forest further away.

Meanwhile, the interior decorations, which were originally made of ordinary wood or stone, have also been quietly transformed.

"What did you do again?"

"I just made this place look more habitable," Bai Ye replied with a smile, then led the three to the door of his room. Pushing open the door, the interior had transformed into a spacious and bright living room: "I borrowed the design from a certain giant egg. Now, all the rooms in the Dimensional Shop can be customized, but don't go too far... If you make it too exaggerated, you'll only end up with an illusion."

"What if it's just one of those rooms we have on the Legion's warships?"

"...If it's just that kind of thing, you can build a Kil'jaeden-like one without any problem. I can even guarantee that the lava under your feet is real."

"Yes, thank you, boss!" The twin sisters hugged each other and spun around. They rushed to the door of the room assigned to them, held the doorknob for a moment, and then pushed the door open and ran inside.

"It seems the two of them have made up their minds. What about you?"

“My…” Jeanne Alter bit her lip, “Can’t I live with you, Master? I can accept sleeping together.”

"...Who gave you this nonsense, Saloras?"

Avoiding Bai Ye's gaze, Black Jeanne did not answer.

"Looks like it's Aurecis. As expected, the older sister is more reliable than the younger sister." After making a sarcastic remark, Bai Ye thought for a moment and still didn't agree to this very tempting suggestion.

"I have a feeling that you've discovered something since I came back last time, but it's better to think things through before committing to a relationship... But if you've really thought it through, I'd be very happy to!"

After a while, Black Jeanne finally released White Night, her face flushed.

"Should I listen to Saloras next time and stick my tongue in too?"

"..."

Finally provoked, Bai Ye casually unleashed a burst of energy and closed the door of the Dimensional Shop, lest someone ruin his plans.

Chapter 143: Either being tortured, or on the way to being tortured.

The development of the relationship between Byakuya and Black Jeanne, strictly speaking, was not abrupt.

Or rather, even before this, he had several opportunities to take advantage of this girl. For example, when she first arrived and was fooled by Bai Ye with a fake Command Seal; or when she discovered the Command Seal was fake and, finding herself with nowhere else to go besides Bai Ye, officially decided to settle down at the Dimensional Shop; or even before, when Bai Ye had spent the whole day with Xiao Yifang in Academy City and missed dinner with her, so the lecherous Bai Ye decided to sneak up on her at night to make amends…

Especially that last time, Bai Ye felt that if he had been a little more forceful back then, he would have been living a wonderful life of kissing during the day and having sex at night long ago—but instead, he spent the whole night telling the little girl bedtime stories (what a pity).

But perhaps this outcome isn't so bad?

Bai Ye kissed the girl on the forehead, got up, took a shower, and then went out of the room to prepare breakfast.

"Boss, how was last night?" As soon as Bai Ye stepped out, he saw two pairs of eyes filled with a fervent desire for gossip.

Upon going out at dusk and finding Jeanne Alter's room empty, the two experienced female drivers instantly figured out where she might be. If it was as they suspected, then the fact that Byakuya closed the shop so early would have a reasonable explanation.

The longer you spend with Bai Ye, the more you can feel his easygoing nature. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, Bai Ye really won't mind if you joke around on a normal day. That's why the twin sisters, who had been sitting shoulder to shoulder on the sofa in the lobby all night, immediately asked about their boss's nightlife after seeing Bai Ye come out.

"Are you guys very free right now?" Bai Ye used the tactic of changing the subject.

"Uh..." The twin sisters exchanged a glance. "It seems like everything's really alright now, right? Could it be that the boss is... sexually interested in the two of us?"

"Don't think I don't know which gender you're talking about just because you say that! Please don't make inappropriate jokes!" With a dark face, Bai Ye gave the twins a tap on the head as punishment, handed them a bunch of cards and a few shelves, and then pointed to the empty space in the store that had been stretched due to the extended space: "Since you're so free, why don't you organize these goods first? When customers come in, take them here first. If they don't see anything here, they can come find me."

"Gudong."

Looking at the pile of cards that was almost as tall as them and the dozen or so shelves that appeared in an instant, the twin sisters turned gray at the same time.

……

The work of setting up the store was handed over to the twin sisters, while Bai Ye opened the store manager panel.
