And that sword from before, the cost of recycling... is zero?
Chapter 012 showcased Bai Ye's wit and intelligence.
As agreed with Kazami Yuuka, Byakuya will need to take the sunflower seeds from the shop to a place called Sunflower Field.
The wealthy and powerful Kazami Yuuka indicated that if things ultimately satisfied her...
The demonic power worth over 20 million was just a deposit!
"System, after I leave the Dimensional Shop, can I still use the invincibility buff inside the shop?"
"Activating invincible defense outside the store will consume a certain amount of Origin Coins."
"can."
Having just converted the remainder of those 20 million Origin Coins into Origin Coins, Bai Ye looked at his balance of over 3.33 million and waved his hand magnanimously.
How can you reap rewards without sowing?
With the deposit plus the actual profit, she could easily earn 100 million. Based on the minimum amount required to keep the Dimensional Shop open, this would allow her to survive for a full 10,000 months.
If you do the math carefully, ten thousand divided by twelve...
Emmmmmm……
In short, the goal is to be a lazy bum for many, many years.
And it's not like there won't be any other customers coming after that.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure peeking out from outside the shop.
Seeing that familiar hair color, Bai Ye waved.
"It's Mokou! Come in quickly."
"Are you... alright?" Mokou looked at Byakuya curiously.
He didn't look like he'd been beaten up.
"What can happen to me?"
"She seemed very angry after she left you last time. Even now, there are still traces of the magic cannon she fired when she was in a fit of rage in the Magic Forest..."
"Well... I guess she thinks the world is so beautiful, and she shouldn't be so irritable, so she changed." Bai Ye waved his hand dismissively: "I heard you say before that there are general stores in the Human Village, do you know where you can buy maps?"
"A map of Gensokyo? What are you planning to do with it?"
"A customer invited me to the sunflower field, but I don't seem to know where that place is... Why are you looking at me like that?"
“It’s nothing…” Fujiwara no Mokou withdrew her pity, “It’s just that I suddenly had a realization that I understand now.”
So, that tyrant in the flower field really didn't let you off the hook after all.
Is this a plan to make you walk right into their house and get a good beating?
"I happen to be going there too. If you're going to the sunflower field I'm referring to... let's go together."
"That works too." Bai Ye nodded.
"Wait a moment, I'll go prepare some things. We'll meet at the village entrance in a bit." With that, Meihong turned and walked towards her residence in the Human Village.
……
"I also need to go!"
After Fujiwara no Mokou left, Jeanne Alter stood in front of Byakuya with a stern face.
"...Where are you going?"
“I can sense that woman… that female demon is dangerous, and her attitude towards you, Master, is not good either. As a Heroic Spirit, I must ensure your safety.”
Black Jeanne maintained her poker face, her pink lips opening and closing as she gave her reason.
"Don't worry, don't you know my strength? Even if she really has any ill intentions towards me, I can guarantee my safety."
"However, this is not enough reason for me to abandon my Master!"
"Well... like this." After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye realized that if he used force, she might do something unexpected. So he grabbed her hand and led her to the counter, then pressed her down to her usual seat.
“Look, after I leave, the shop can’t be empty, right? You have to think of it this way: the reason I’m keeping you in the shop is definitely not because I think you’re a burden or any other nonsense. On the contrary, it’s because I trust you and feel at ease with you in the shop.”
"But……"
A clear look of struggle appeared on Jeanne Alter's face.
"Actually, what you need to do is very simple. When the teleportation array on the door lights up, it means a customer has arrived. Then you just need to give him this instruction book and tell him to wait here for me to come back if he needs anything. Also, I will give you an invincible shield in this shop, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt."
Black Jeanne lowered her head, clearly having been persuaded by Bai Ye.
Noticing this, Bai Ye's lips curled up slightly—Done!
……
...Get it done my ass!
The teleportation portal in the store lit up at some point. Xiao Yifang, holding a can of coffee, looked at the two adults behind the counter who seemed to be doing something, and the coffee in her hand fell to the ground.
"You're the one!" Black Jeanne's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Accelerator's hand and pressed him down onto the recliner behind the counter.
Then Jeanne Alter repeated almost verbatim what Byakuya had just said to Frostbite:
"We have to go out for a bit, but it's not good to leave the shop unattended while we're gone. Luckily you're here, could you help us out?"
"What you need to do is very simple. When the teleportation array on the door lights up, it means a customer has arrived. Then you just need to give him this instruction book and tell him to wait here for us to return if he needs anything. In addition, we will give you an invincible shield in this shop, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt."
"I……"
"Don't argue, or... you'll be burned alive!"
Xiao Yifang: "..."
Meow meow meow?
Chapter 013 First Time Out, Trivial Matters
After leaving the Dimensional Shop with Jeanne Alter dressed in casual clothes, Bai Ye found herself feeling as if she had entered a new world, even though she had only been holed up in the shop for less than a month...
Well, Gensokyo seems like a completely new world to me.
However, to be fair, as a time traveler who has only ventured out for the first time in so many days, not counting those who are restricted by various conditions, I'm probably the only one of his kind.
Driven by a sense of curiosity, even though Mokou had pointed out the most convenient route from the Dimensional Shop to the Human Village, Byakuya still led Jeanne Alter to wander around, looking for things that would interest them.
Perhaps because it has had little contact with the outside world since its construction, most of the buildings in Renjianzhili have a strong ancient style, but there are also some products that are obviously "cross-era"...
According to Mokou, this was the work of the sage youkai who created the great barrier.
Surrounded by a bustling and noisy atmosphere, Byakuya didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, but Black Jeanne frowned.
"What's wrong? Not used to this atmosphere?"
"That's not the case, it's just..."
Black Jeanne shook her head, without explaining anything specific.
Perhaps... she just felt that this overly comfortable atmosphere wasn't quite right for her?
……
When Mokou, who had been waiting at the village entrance until she was completely exasperated, returned to the shop only to find a white-haired kid, she found Byakuya and the other two walking down the street, each holding a bowl of dumplings and occasionally feeding each other.
Clearly, their relationship has progressed considerably during this period.
"Didn't we agree to meet at the village entrance?"
Fujiwara no Mokou poked Byakuya's shoulder, her tone carrying a chilling undertone.
Bai Ye tilted her head and thought for a moment: "But you didn't say when we'd meet up."
"Excuses, they are all excuses!"
"Would you like some meatballs?" Byakuya asked, skewering a meatball on a bamboo stick and offering it to Mokou's lips.
"Thanks... Don't try to change the subject. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you at the village entrance?"
"No, that's perfect." Byakuya turned the hand holding the dumpling to face Black Jeanne.
Unlike Mokou, who was probably already full of anger, even though what was in front of her was just "second-hand goods" that Mokou didn't want, Jeanne Alter still opened her mouth, bit into the dumpling, and then chewed and swallowed it with a smile.
Fujiwara no Mokou: "..."
Hiccup~
This dog food is really filling!
……
Caught red-handed by Mokou, her plan to visit every shop in the Human Village was naturally cut short.
After all, strictly speaking, Mokou came here specifically to help me this time.
As for what she said earlier about having something to do there on her way...
How could such a coincidence happen?
Bai Ye wasn't so heartless as to think, "Since I've agreed, of course I'll take her there no matter how bad my attitude is," or "I'm the chosen one, making you wait is doing you a favor."
Following Mokou through the streets and alleys, Byakuya and Kuroe soon saw the entrance to the Human Village.
The most conspicuous features are naturally the tall gate and the wall, which is more symbolic than defensive.
With Jeanne Alter's reminder, Byakuya also noticed a thin barrier whose specific purpose was unknown.
"That's a perception barrier. Over the years, there have been a few Onmyoji and samurai among the humans, but compared to the monsters outside the Human Village, their strength is pitifully weak..."
"The real defense doesn't rely on them, does it?"
“How could we possibly rely on them?” Mokou’s eyes widened. “If things get serious, as long as one great yokai makes a move, these onmyoji in the human village will have no reason to resist. The wall will just be a symbol, giving the common people a little comfort.”
"In all these years, has not a single youkai ever shown any interest in the human village?" Jeanne Alter suddenly questioned. "I remember Master saying before that many youkai consider humans as their primary food source."
"Yes, there are indeed many. However, it seems that the great demons all had an agreement with the one who established the Great Barrier. I don't know why the ones below the great demons didn't make a move before I arrived, but after Keine and I moved to the Human Village, anyone who had such thoughts was burned to death by me."
"Monster Sage..."
How many times have I heard this title now?
I always felt that this sage had a very high reputation in Gensokyo.
According to the description from her online friend, she seemed to be a pretty young lady with bright blonde hair who was either carrying a parasol or a lace folding fan when she appeared.
"Ah!"
A cute sneeze came from the arcade deep in the bamboo forest.
Rubbing her nose, the princess continued browsing the fan service CGs featuring her sister after she had been "conquered," a perverted smile still on her face.
Outside the door, the wise man of the moon sighed helplessly.
Even though, as a resident of Penglai, she could resurrect infinitely with full health and strength, sitting in front of the computer day and night like this...
You are a princess! You are a princess! You are a princess!
"Your Highness, you should go out and exercise occasionally."
"Oh dear, Eirin~ Didn't I just train with that turkey in the bamboo forest a couple of days ago?" Kaguya raised her hand without turning her head, signaling the question to stop. "Eirin, if you say that again, I'll get angry, really fierce!"
Chapter 014 A certain idler who lost face in the sunflower field
"You...you have a cold?"
"How could that be? I'm immortal! I can come back to life even after being killed!" Mokou rubbed her nose, quite annoyed. "I think that woman is talking about me behind my back."
You mean Yuuka Kazami?
Just imagining Yuuka Kazami muttering to herself, Mokou couldn't help but shudder.
Given that person's personality, if they had the time to keep nagging, they probably would have already come knocking on the door with a parasol.
"It's not her, it's a woman I really hate."
Despite saying that, Byakuya didn't detect much hatred in Mokou's words.
