In Fantasy Town, people are kept by various rich women

"Anyway, I learned all of this from mushrooms, so it's pretty much the same."

Luo Kong waved his hand and did not continue to argue with Marisa on this topic, and changed the subject casually.

"Besides, you don't just use mushrooms to practice magic, you also eat mushrooms on a daily basis, right?"

When I was making breakfast just now, the only ingredient I could find in the kitchen was mushrooms, with a little seasoning at most.

But because Luo Kong was not sure whether these mushrooms were edible, he did not dare to try them randomly, so he did not add any.

"Of course, mushrooms are so delicious!"

Marisa nodded as a matter of course.

"....You really are not afraid of malnutrition. If it were me, I couldn't stand eating mushrooms every meal..."

Luo Kong looked at Marisa with a somewhat subtle look.

With that kind of diet...it's a wonder she's grown up to the age where she wears that kind of underwear.

"Sometimes I add other things... But since you said so, I'll make you a mushroom stew for lunch. It's definitely delicious!"

After hearing Luo Kong's dislike for mushrooms, Marisa couldn't help but feel like trying to persuade him.

However, these words received a suspicious look from Luo Kong.

Judging from the situation in the living room just now, is the mushroom stew made by this guy really edible?

As the morning went by, Marisa tied her hair into a single ponytail with a hairband, put on an apron, and pushed the golden hair that fell beside her cheeks back behind her ears. She looked a lot more refreshed, giving off the aura of a quiet young lady.

Luo Kong looked at Marisa busy in the kitchen and nodded.

Because he usually sees Marisa's carefree appearance, and was shocked by the garbage dump he saw when he first came to her house, Luo Kong was skeptical about Marisa's claim that she wanted to make a mushroom stew that would make him praise it.

But now it seems...it actually looks pretty good, right?

Looking at Marisa skillfully adding the chicken that he had just replaced for her into the pot, Luo Kong couldn't help but nodded.

Come to think of it, after all, I have lived alone for many years, so being able to cook is not a surprising thing.

As it turned out, he was also misled by the stereotype.

Soon, Marisa came over wearing a pair of cotton gloves and holding a soup pot with a smug look on her face.

"Ahahaha, here comes the chicken soup!"

Marisa had a smug smile on her face. She took off her gloves and specially served a bowl of mushroom soup for Luo Kong.

"Brother, you should try it! This mushroom chicken soup is absolutely delicious!"

Listening to Marisa's words, Luo Kong looked down at the chicken soup with a few strands of fat still floating on the surface, and the rich aroma continued to flow into his nostrils.

“It does look pretty good....”

Luo Kong said this, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip tentatively.

Well... there is no strange taste. Although the seasoning is light, Luo Kong surprisingly finds it acceptable.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after drinking this mushroom soup, I felt a warm feeling in my lower abdomen, which was quite comfortable…

"Brother? Why are you foaming at the mouth? Brother!"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Marisa's scream, and Luo Kong felt the light around him dim. When he looked up, he found that he was no longer in Marisa's wooden house.

What appeared before him was a river surrounded by thick fog.

From afar, it seemed that there was a red-haired, big-breasted beautiful girl of death sitting on a boat, carrying a huge sickle and waving at him.

Luo Kong: “???”

Volume 1: Chapter 69: Yingji's Stick of Repentance

Chapter 69

"Hey! Big brother! Don't scare me, okay?"

Seeing Luo Kong suddenly fall down, Marisa became visibly panicked.

This is not right! Is the food she cooks so bad?

No, it's because of poisoning?

But the mushrooms she put there were the ones she usually eats?

What should I do…what should I do?

Marisa, whose mind was a little confused, suddenly raised her head.

Oh, I remember hearing someone talk about some first aid method before? Yes...artificial respiration! Although I don't know if it will work for food poisoning...I can only try it out!

By the way...artificial respiration seems to involve mouth-to-mouth breathing...

Although it sounds a bit inappropriate, Marisa also knows that she doesn't have time to be shy. Thinking of this, she reached out and wiped the foam from Luo Kong's mouth, then held his cheeks with both hands, and put her lips directly on his...

The mouth is so thin...

This was Marisa's first thought as her cheeks turned slightly red, but she quickly reacted and mustered up all her strength to blow air into it.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Marisa always felt a warm current coming from Luo Kong's body. Then when she opened her mouth and looked at Luo Kong's face again, it seemed that he was a little better.

However... there is still no sign of waking up...

Little did they know...

"Really? You came here just because you drank a bowl of soup. You are so unlucky."

Komachi was leaning against the rock wall, placing the sickle in her hand on the ground, chatting with Luo Kuang.

"Indeed... I don't know if my second sister put something in the wrong place... Alas, I am still young and haven't enjoyed the good times yet."

Luo Kong shook his head. Although he said these discouraging words, his expression was surprisingly relaxed, as if death was not a big deal to him.

"Don't worry, little brother. I've been ferrying people for so many years. I can tell at a glance whether your souls are dead or not. In your condition... I think you can still be saved."

The Grim Reaper patted Luo Kong's shoulder comfortingly. At this moment, Luo Kong touched his lips strangely, and his whole body suddenly became a little transparent.

Seeing this, Komachi nodded with an expression that said, "As I expected."

"Look, what did I say? I guess the second sister you mentioned is trying to save you... You can go back soon, right?"

"That's it..."

Luo Kong looked at his hands, then nodded in gratitude to Komachi.

"Thanks for the reminder... But, is it really okay for you to chat with me here right now?"

Luo Kong looked at the small boat parked by the river and immediately gave a reminder.

"No problem. Don't you have me here? Come to think of it, I should thank you for showing up... I don't have to cross the river, and it gives me a legitimate reason to rest here for a while... By the way, when my boss comes, remember to cooperate with me."

The girl with a majestic figure waved her hand casually, then leaned close to Luo Kong's ear and whispered a reminder.

"If she asks me what I'm doing here, remember to say a few good words for me!"

Luo Kong's eyes changed instantly when he looked at the god of death in front of him, as if he was looking at a fellow traveler, and he nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I understand. We're both workers, so if you need help like this, I'll definitely help if I can!"

"Thank you, little brother. If you really die next time, I will definitely charge you less when I ferry you across!"

After receiving the response, Komachi felt more relieved and looked at Luo Kong with a more favorable gaze. Then she sat down and continued to chat with Luo Kong.

.........

In Gensokyo, after Marisa finished the first aid, she waited for a while, but there was still no sign of Luo Kong waking up, and she felt a little anxious.

She doesn’t know any magic to detoxify...!

"magic?"

When she thought of this, Marisa suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up.

Yes, even if I can’t do it, maybe someone else can?

Marisa immediately realized that there was another magician living in the forest nearby like her...

.........

"So, Luo Kong became like this after eating the mushroom soup you made?"

Alice, who was called by Marisa to help, looked at Luo Kong lying unconscious on the floor, frowned slightly, and her tone sounded unusually serious.

"The mushrooms in the forest contain magical power. If humans who have not practiced magic eat them, it will definitely cause this kind of consequence. Shouldn't you know this better than me?"

Marisa couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard this.

Because Luo Kong had used magic in front of her before, Marisa always thought that Luo Kong also had magic power in his body...

So at first she didn't care when she was choosing mushrooms and just picked according to what she usually ate.

Unexpected result...

"But fortunately, although I don't know what method you used, at least the magic power in his body has been channeled out, and his life is not in danger for the time being... As for why he can't wake up, I'm not sure either."

Looking at Marisa's somewhat self-blaming expression, Alice sighed softly and did not blame her anymore. Instead, she comforted her with a few words and stood up.

"But I still suggest you take him to the clinic in the bamboo forest to see if there are any hidden dangers..."

After hearing what Alice said, Marisa breathed a sigh of relief and nodded towards her.

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

"So I'm telling you, Lady Yingji is really nagging. If she sets her eyes on you, it will take her a long time to finish her teaching..."

"You're not that bad. You're just being lectured. If my boss gets angry, he can chase you with Gungnir for half the night. If you run slower, you'll probably have two more holes in your body."

Komachi and Luo Kong's chat continued, but the topic of discussion gradually turned into complaining about their boss.

Listening to each other complaining about their boss, Luo Kong and Komachi looked at each other and actually felt that they had some sympathy for each other.

Also because she liked the other person, Komachi lowered her voice again, sneaked up to Luo Kong, and gave him a reminder in a low voice.

"By the way, if you accidentally run into Lady Yingji in the future, don't make her angry. It's still very painful to be hit by her repentance stick..."

Looking at Komachi who seemed very experienced, Luo Kong couldn't help but nodded and continued to listen to Komachi who seemed to be addicted to complaining about her boss.

"Last time, I clearly wanted to flatter her, so I praised her for being broad-minded, but Lady Yingji seemed to have misunderstood me, and suddenly she pointed at my chest and started to get angry..."

Luo Kong was listening with great interest, but he saw a petite girl appear behind Komachi....

The girl was wearing a dark blue sleeveless jacket, a white top, and a black skirt. There was a red ribbon tied on her sleeve on her right arm and a white ribbon tied on her left arm. There was a copper plate on each of her shoulders, with "Yes" written on the left shoulder and "No" written on the right shoulder.

He was holding a strange-looking stick in his hand. When Luo Kong looked closely, he saw a conspicuous label on the top of the stick.

[Stick of Repentance: 111000]

The appearance of this label made him immediately understand who the visitor was, so he quickly interrupted Komachi's speech.

"Hey, Komachi, stop talking..."

"No, this is a rare opportunity to vent these words, please let me finish first."

Komachi waved her hand, signaling Luo Kong not to interrupt her, and then continued her story.

"Lady Yingji is such a fool...it's not my fault that she has a flat chest..."

Luo Kong: "..."

Looking at Komachi who was still talking nonstop, he couldn't help but sigh and let go of his desire to help others.

"Why aren't you talking, Luo Kong?"

Komachi was halfway through her words when she noticed that Luo Kong had suddenly fallen silent and was looking at her with pity in his eyes. She was immediately confused, but the next second, she felt a familiar pain in her head.

"I don't know that your job, Komachi, is to tell others bad things about me?"

Turning around, she saw Yingji holding the repentance stick in her hand, with a few blue veins on her forehead, and looking at her with a kind smile.

Seeing this scene, Komachi's legs suddenly went weak.

Komachi knelt down in front of Yingji on the spot in a very skilled posture. She thought for a moment, squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to beg for mercy with tears.

"Master Yingji, I was wrong. I really didn't mean to say anything bad about you just now. Please let me go this time..."
