With the boss's enthusiastic encouragement, many people were eager to try it out, including a familiar figure.

"Snap—"

A small hand slammed down on the wooden table, leaving behind a few copper coins.

"Boss, give me ten balls."

The girl had horns on her head and a gourd of wine hanging from her waist.

Bai An recognized the familiar, bold voice at a glance.

The drunkard who arm-wrestled with me at the last banquet—Ibuki Suika.

They tricked him into drinking all night, got him completely drunk, and cleared out all the Scarlet Devil Mansion's stock.

Looking at Ibuki Suika, who seemed to have grown a bit taller, Bai An was somewhat surprised and looked her up and down.

I vaguely remember that this thing looked even younger than Reimu, but it's only been a short time since I last saw it and it's grown quite a bit taller.

However, judging from her still hazy eyes, which reeked of alcohol, she was probably quite drunk again.

Passersby took a few steps back.

Even if one cannot recognize her as a demon king, one can still discern the girl's race by seeing the giant horns on her head.

After all, the fact that the Oni tribe loved drinking and fighting had already spread throughout Gensokyo.

If the other party gets drunk and causes trouble, and accidentally injures them, they'll really have nowhere to cry.

Think so.

The group moved much further away from Ibuki Suika, choosing to watch from a distance.

Ibuki Suika, however, didn't care at all. She took the basket handed to her by the shopkeeper, grabbed the sake gourd at her waist, and gulped down a mouthful.

A small amount of alcohol slid down her lips, down her neck and collarbone, and then down her back.

"Ah~ That feels great."

She tilted her head back and let out a satisfied groan, then grinned, grabbed a small ball from the basket, and fixed her gaze on the large bucket not far away.

"Guest, please don't damage the equipment. Just throw the ball into the bucket."

The sudden sharp gaze made the boss realize something was wrong, and he hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late.

A white light, accompanied by a sonic boom.

Even the large bucket that Suika had chosen had vanished without a trace.

Suika Ibuki blinked her hazy eyes a few times, staring blankly at the empty space where the large barrel used to be.

"Huh? Eh eh eh eh...."

The inevitable outcome was that the money was compensated at the original price.

After understanding the rules and how to play, Suika Ibuki, with her competitive nature, naturally wanted to try again.

He took out all the silver he had brought, determined to win back the grand prize.

The boss certainly wouldn't let go of this great opportunity to make money. He'd finally encountered a sucker, so how could he not make a killing out of him?

In the end, Bai An looked at Ibuki Suika, who had lost everything, and his lips twitched.

"Give me one."

The sudden, cold voice startled Bai An, who stared in disbelief at Kazami Yuuka, who had placed a few coins on the table.

Yuuka actually volunteered to participate in the game.

At this moment, Ibuki Suika also noticed Kazami Yuuka.

He was taken aback at first, but when he saw Bai An next to him, he immediately realized what was going on and looked like he had just understood.

She excitedly approached and asked curiously.

"I knew it! You weren't here alone, Yuuka. You two are on a date, aren't you?"

His gossipy eyes darted back and forth between Kazami Yuuka and Bai An, as if he had seen through something.

A date...?

The word was unfamiliar, yet it still made her feel happy.

Kazami Yuuka glanced at Bai An, a faint smile playing on her lips, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Bai An didn't notice Youxiang's gaze and weighed the small ball the shopkeeper handed him.

Just as he expected.

The ball is a very bouncy rubber ball, and the buckets placed on it have a special tilt, so you have to control both the angle and the force.

Too much or too little force will cause the ball to bounce back out of the bucket.

Moreover, the material used for this ball is significantly more elastic than in the previous life, and it is probably a material unique to Gensokyo.

Bai An narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Youxiang's ear, and whispered a few words.

The latter also picked up a ball and tried to tossing it, then nodded.

"Yuuka, are you going to play too?"

Suika Ibuki looked surprised. She thought it was Bai An who wanted to play, but it turned out to be Yuuka who wanted to play.

Seeing that the other person casually picked up a ball and was about to throw it, she quickly intercepted it.

Faced with Yuuka Kazami's question, Suika Ibuki shook her head, her tone very serious.

"Youxiang, this isn't as simple as you think. This stuff is very difficult; it pops right out of the box as soon as you put it in. I've lost all my recent drinking money on this."

As she spoke, her face was filled with grief and indignation.

Bai An patted her shoulder with a smile on his lips.

"Don't worry, we will help you get revenge."

Aside from the Magical Cannon, Yuuka's favorite thing is close-quarters combat, and she has perfect control over joints and even other parts of her body.

It's just a matter of getting the pitch right; that's something she can do with ease.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kazami Yuuka picked up another small ball and tossed it casually.

Under Ibuki Suika's astonished gaze, it fell steadily into the bucket in a perfect parabola, without even making a sound.

Next, Yuuka Kazami successfully threw nine balls into the bucket.

The whole process went smoothly.

Suika Ibuki opened her mouth, looking adorably bewildered, unsure how to describe the current situation.

Even her hazy, alcohol-filled eyes seemed to have cleared up considerably.

It wasn't until the owner, whose face was covered in black iron pots, moved a jade doll over two meters tall in front of Youxiang with a heart full of sorrow, that she finally realized what was happening.

Grief instantly filled her small chest.

She was, after all, a ghost king, yet after so many attempts, she couldn't achieve the same result as someone else in a single attempt.

How can the differences between people be so great?

"No, this must be just an isolated case!"

Suika Ibuki looked up sharply and gave herself a pep talk.

Faced with her self-hypnosis, Bai An smiled slightly but said nothing.

He quietly bought ten balls and threw them casually as well.

Then, to Suika Ibuki's astonishment, all ten balls were thrown into the bucket.

"Thump thump thump—"

The sound of goals coming one after another gave her a headache, and her drunken eyes became completely clear.

Seeing Ibuki Suika squatting on the ground drawing circles, even Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but smile.

Then, the boss came over carrying a gourd-shaped doll that was a size smaller than the jade doll that Youxiang had made.

"Gentlemen, my business is small. Could you please go somewhere else to have fun? I can refund all the money you and your friends have paid in full."

He looked at Bai An and the others with a pleading expression, hoping to save his few remaining dolls.

I thought I could make a small fortune, but I never expected to run into three devils.

The boss was very sincere, so Bai An didn't make things difficult for him. After all, he had already earned two of the biggest plush toys without spending a single penny.

As for the gourd-shaped wine doll, Bai An gave it to Ibuki Suika.

After all, this gourd is a perfect match for her no matter how you look at it.

Suika Ibuki accepted it without any hesitation or hesitation.

This doll was what she initially wanted.

She thought there was no hope, but to her surprise, Bai An handed it over to her and even saved her money for drinks for the next few days.

If it weren't for Yuuka Kazami being there, Suika Ibuki would probably be sworn brothers with Hakuan.

After thanking Bai An, she skipped away, clutching the gourd doll that was a size bigger than herself.

After Ibuki Suika left with her sake gourd, Kazami Yuuka stopped in her tracks.

Under Bai An's bewildered gaze, she stuffed the jade toy in her hand into his arms.

"A gift for you."

"Gift?"

Bai An stared blankly at the heavy, fluffy jade doll, somewhat puzzled.

Why did Youxiang suddenly give him something?

And it was a large doll.

Kazami Yuuka noticed his confusion, and with a slight smile, she said casually.

"Didn't you say that the first thing you saw when you came into this world was a round, furry, spherical creature? This must be it."

Upon hearing Youxiang's explanation, Bai An was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
