The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Previously, her record against her teacher in chess was 205 wins to 11 losses, but in the recent period, the score quickly changed to 209 wins to 23 losses. Especially recently, her teacher has been winning repeatedly while she has been losing repeatedly... This is almost impossible.

If it were a complete crushing defeat in terms of skill, that would be fine, but Yagokoro Eirin discovered that in the dozen or so games that her teacher won, she would always lose for various inexplicable reasons.

The most outrageous incident was when the ground beneath her feet suddenly caved in, causing her to lose a game that was practically a sure thing... and this wasn't the first or second time!

From any perspective, this is clearly not right!

One thing was that something was amiss in the bamboo forest, and the other was about the cursed goddess, the Detective Girl.

Although the other person and Shen Qi had been living in her bamboo forest for some time, she had never heard the other person say a single word.

However, the other party's cold attitude of always keeping people at arm's length has gradually changed over time.

From initially refusing to eat with them and choosing to eat alone in the house, to later sitting quietly at the table on time for meals, the progress has been remarkable.

Of course, even so, they still hadn't heard the other person say a single word.

Initially, both she and Shenqi were somewhat worried about the curse that the other was carrying, but after spending some time together, they were quite surprised to find that the so-called curse on Tan Nu had disappeared without a trace at some point...

As a qualified doctor, Eirin Yagokoro naturally felt curious and inquisitive about this.

After some observation, she didn't find the reason why the curse on the female detective disappeared, but instead found something else... For example, she had witnessed her teacher walking out of the female detective's room in the middle of the night more than once, and a few times she was limping out while holding onto the wall.

So here's the question: which company offers excavator technology...? And what did my teacher do in the room of the mysterious detective so late at night?

P.S.: Sorry, sorry. This chapter should have been released last night, but I fell asleep while writing and slept from around 9 PM until 12:30 AM... It was unbelievable...

First update today.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Rhythmic Notes

The night is dark and windy.

It was 2 a.m., and the location was the home of the female detective.

"Alright, there are basically no problems now."

Shi Bai breathed a sigh of relief as he removed his hand from the other person's.

“Now you have to speak to activate that ability, instead of doing it at will as before… The power of the curse is actually a double-edged sword. As long as you can control it, this power can also become your greatest asset.”

"........."

He opened his mouth, and the girl in front of him seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and just nodded silently.

From an outsider's perspective, the room was in a truly appalling state. Not only were all the furniture destroyed, but the floorboards had been dug up, making it no exaggeration to say that the place had been thoroughly ravaged.

—These are all consequences of the previous curse outbreak. If Shi Bai hadn't intentionally controlled the range, the curse would have affected the entire bamboo forest and even further.

To be honest, if Shi Bai really left such a toxic female detective in the bamboo forest, he would never feel at ease, especially since she had no control over her abilities.

You must know that countless gods have been killed by this person's healing before. If the succubus and Little Four Seasons are also accidentally poisoned by this healing, the consequences will be extremely bad.

After all, as long as you have even the slightest thought in your mind, that poisonous milk ability will immediately take effect... Didn't you see that even Yagokoro Eirin didn't notice this poisonous milk?

That's why Shi Bai came up with this solution at the end.

If you help the other party master this ability, you'll not only experience firsthand this kind of "poisonous milk" you've never encountered before, but you'll also gain a huge favor from them for free, and even regain your prestige on the chessboard... It's a sure win!

Although he had fallen into her trap a few times due to underestimating her, he had at least managed to help Hishikami Tanjo gain control of her own abilities, though it was only now that it was completely complete.

"Alright, you should go to sleep early too. I promised Shenqi I'd teach her explosion magic tomorrow..."

Yawning, Shi Bai glanced at the messy room, waved casually, and then turned and walked towards the door.

As he moved, everything in the room began to slowly return to normal. Broken things healed automatically, and missing items reappeared out of thin air... It was as if time had reversed in this room. By the time Shi Bai reached the door, everything in the room had been completely restored to its original state.

However, just as Bai opened the door, a petite figure who had been leaning against the doorway collapsed inside.

Subconsciously, he reached out and took her in his arms. Looking at the green-haired loli in his arms, who was blinking innocently at him, Shi Bai's lips twitched involuntarily.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"That's not important. What's wrong with you, brother? Why are you here so late?"

Jumping down from Shi Bai's arms, the green-haired loli put one hand on her hip and extended a finger towards Shi Bai in front of her, her face serious.

"Don't even think about lying to me, because if your brother lies, I'll be able to tell right away!!"

"My dear judge, your companions have already abandoned you, haven't they?"

Shi Bai patted his forehead, his words sounding somewhat weak.

"Eh?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the little girl quickly turned around and looked behind her. Seeing that there was no one behind her, she immediately fell silent.

"Seriously... Are you all so free? You actually have the mood to come here... Yagokoro, the succubus's homework load will be doubled tomorrow, and as for Shinki... don't expect me to teach you Explosion Magic tomorrow."

Rolling his eyes inwardly, Shi Bai reached out and patted the little girl's head.

"Alright, don't be angry. I went to help her break the curse. It would be dangerous if you got too close, so I sealed off the whole house... I'll cook you something delicious tomorrow, what would you like to eat?"

"That's not fair! Why is she the only one who gets the reward?!"

As soon as Shi Bai finished speaking, Shen Qi, who had been hiding somewhere, suddenly jumped out, her face full of resentment.

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai answered with considerable pride.

"Maybe it's because I'm a lolicon."

"Lolicon? What is a lolicon?"

Hearing this new word that she had never heard before, Shenqi was clearly stunned for a moment.

"It's half black and half white again... Seriously, can't it just be all white like before..."

Turning her head, the little girl muttered something under her breath, but then reached out and took the hand of the person next to her.

"........."

Looking at the scene outside the door, the female detective in the room thought for a moment, then went straight to bed and closed her eyes.

The door will not be closed.

...A very pleasant, yet extremely faint, sound seemed to drift through the air.

...............................................................

"...That's basically the situation. I'm planning to go back to my old place to pick up some things. Do you want to come with me?"

The next day, after Yagokoro Eirin and the succubus handed in their double assignments with long faces, Shi Bai first wrote two big "read" marks on them in a flamboyant manner, and then spoke to the two people in front of him, whose resentment seemed to have deepened.

"The place where the teacher used to live..."

After a slight pause, Eirin Yagokoro was the first to react.

"So much time has passed, is the teacher's former residence still there?"

"It's definitely there. After all, the succubus has already found that place for me, and she can also take care of some things there..."

With a wave of his hand, Shi Bai turned his gaze back to his desk, where a half-open medical book lay.

"Go and talk to the others, and help them pack some things. If there are no problems, we'll set off after lunch."

"Do we need to travel far...? I understand."

Yagokoro Eirin nodded knowingly.

"That's right, it was actually planned long ago. We were just waiting for the succubus to return so we could set off together, but we didn't expect the arrival of two other people..."

Shi Bai picked up the pen on the table, thought for a moment, then put it down and turned to look at the succubus beside him.

"By the way, what does your sister like to eat?"

P.S.: Tickets

Chapter Forty-Nine: Golden Sunlight

Since he promised Xiao Siji last night that he would cook for her personally, Shi Bai is determined to do so now.

Among the principles he followed, keeping his word was the most important.

Although Eirin Yagokoro is currently focusing on medicine, she hasn't neglected her culinary training, as medicinal cuisine is also a form of medicine.

If Yagokoro Eirin were to learn medicine, given her personality, she would definitely need to master all aspects of it, because she wouldn't allow herself to have any shortcomings in any area of ​​medicine.

However, in terms of cooking skills, there is still a huge gap between Yagokoro Eirin and him that is difficult to cross.

For example, even now, Eirin Yagokoro still hasn't found a way to make glowing dishes.

Among the talents that Shi Bai inherited from the entire Eastern God Clan, the first talent he unlocked was called [God of Food]. As the name suggests, this talent is related to culinary skills.

However, although the unlocking condition for this talent is the simplest, it still requires him to make 10,000 different dishes. In order to unlock this talent, he racked his brains and even made the infamous "stargazing" dish to meet the requirement.

And this talent, which he unlocked first, truly lives up to the name of "God of Cookery." It is no longer just a simple chef, but a state that truly involves a higher level.

To put it in gaming terms, it was the mass production of various foods that added permanent attributes, permanent health, permanent resistance to special status effects, and so on.

From his initial weak human body when he transmigrated to his current superhuman level, his [God of Food] talent has played an indispensable role. The succubus's rapid growth after meeting him is also inseparable from this talent.

Most importantly, the food he creates using this passive talent has a significantly increased added value. It can turn the rotten into the magical, making it a truly profitable commodity to use as an equivalent exchange for summoning.

For him, glowing cuisine was just an experiment done out of boredom. However, his casual remark to Eirin Yagokoro about "a dish that doesn't glow isn't a good dish" left her with a strange obsession with it ever since...

"...Strange, there's nothing wrong with the steps, but why can't I make a dish that glows like the teacher?"

After witnessing Shi Bai's artistic cooking process up close once again, Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but frown.

"So why are you so obsessed with glowing dishes?"

With an involuntary twitch at the corner of his mouth, Shi Bai carried the plate out of the kitchen.

"When it comes to cooking, all you need to do is cook with care... the rest is up to you."

"Stir-fry with care?"

After thinking for a moment, Yagokoro Eirin turned her head thoughtfully to look at the food box next to her... and then made a plate of stir-fried chicken hearts.

After lunch, after comparing the dishes prepared by the teacher, which had been completely devoured, with the half-eaten fried chicken hearts she still had, Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but fall into reflection.

"Perhaps... I wasn't using the right approach?"

..................................................................

The place Shi Bai is about to head to is a temporary residence he built when he was wandering the world after leaving the Celestial Realm. Due to certain special reasons, some extremely dangerous items and some necessary things were left in his temporary residence.

He did want to go back to the hot spring at the bottom of the valley where he used to live with Xiaoye and the others, since that hot spring was definitely an extremely useful thing.

But the problem is, after the world has undergone tremendous changes... he can no longer find that place.

After leaving the Celestial Realm, he had considered returning there, but even until he sealed himself in ice, he had not found any clues about that place.

So after that, he had a little trick up his sleeve. He placed signal receiving devices in all the other temporary residences he created, and the succubus was able to accurately locate those places only because of what he gave her.

That was his destination.

"Okay, let's go."

After closing all the doors and windows and checking them, Eirin Yagokoro nodded.

"According to the succubus, the journey will take about a month, and we also need to avoid war..."

At this point, Eirin Yagokoro frowned slightly.

In this era of endless war and deep-seated hatred between monsters and gods, their squad, composed of monsters and gods, can be considered quite peculiar.

While I and Shinki, gods who abhor war, can treat gods and demons equally, that doesn't mean other gods can do the same.

So along the way, whether they encounter the gods or the monsters, battles are almost inevitable. What's more, their team also contains the "key" that both the gods and monsters are vying for.

In Yagokoro Eirin's opinion, her teacher's approach was extremely irrational, because even if they were going out, there was no need to take everyone with them.

However, after some thought, she chose to trust her teacher.

"What's wrong, are you a little nervous?"

Reaching out, Shi Bai touched the head of a future Yama, who was tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, and smiled.
