Little Gods of Gensokyo

"Then let's go quickly, don't you want to have breakfast before talking?"

"Put those back." Reimu waved her hands and greeted Marisa: "Go and pick up the magic weapon with me first, then we can talk about it."

"Huh?" Marisa showed a puzzled expression.

……

……

"I don't know what magic weapon da☆ze you have in your warehouse?" Marisa looked suspicious.

"Ha~ everything is fine, hurry up." Reimu hugged her shoulders and shook her feet, urging Marisa to help quickly.

"I remember it was right here... emm... ah! I found it!" After rummaging through a pile of junk, Reimu found what she was looking for, not because it was neatly packed, but simply because There isn't much in the warehouse.

Marisa looked at the thing in the opponent's hand: "Isn't this an electric heater? What's the use?"

"Hehehe..." Lingmeng quickly ran into the room, stuck to the bottom of the low table, threw the quilt on the table with a shake of his hand, pressed a wooden board on it, plugged in the electricity, and got in. .

"Ah~ suck~ha..." Reimu slumped on the table holding hot tea with a melted face: "Sure enough, there must be a kotatsu in winter."

"Reimu!" ​​Marisa looked at Reimu's appearance and roared angrily, "What are you doing!?"

"Ah?" Lingmeng opened his eyes and sighed, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

The witch who said so lifted the quilt beside her: "Okay, come in quickly."

"Who wants to be with you!" Marisa shouted, "I'm talking about mutations, mutations da☆ze!"

Hearing this, Reimu looked at Marisa as if he had seen a ghost: "Marisa, don't you think you're not a human anymore?"

"Huh? What kind of inference is this!?"

"Because no human being can refuse the temptation of the kotatsu in winter! No one!" Reimu said righteously.

Hearing her lack of ambition, Marisa took a few deep breaths before suppressing her anger: "Enough! I'll go by myself!"

As he said that, he opened the door and walked out.

"Wait a moment……"

The voice from behind made Marisa feel better, and she turned her head and put her hands on her chest: "What's wrong? I changed my mind."

I saw the witch lying on the table and pointing to the closet two meters away: "Please help me get some crackers."

Marisa's face gradually became distorted: "You take it yourself!"

The bitter slam of the door even shook the icicles under the eaves.

"What are you doing? If you don't help, don't help. Why are you so fierce?" Lingmeng scratched her ears and said nonchalantly, her eyes fixed on the closet, what should I do?I don't want to go out to get it at all.

While Reimu was hesitating, footsteps came from the corridor again.

Reimu pricked up his ears and listened. Could it be that Marisa's conscience has come back?

Reimu instantly shattered this conjecture of her own. Leaving aside the fact that Marisa does not have such a thing as a conscience, the sound of the footsteps of the comer is obviously much lighter, which is completely different from Marisa who is rampant and shaped like a wild boar.

He is a rich man, Lingmeng could tell that he was able to walk so slowly outside in such a cold day, it was either two hundred and fifty or he had done a good job of keeping warm.

Just as the witch was guessing, someone opened the door.

……

……

"Emm... First add some sagegrass, then poisonous mushrooms..." Ai Ge carefully controlled the solution in the dropper.

"How is it going?" Bayi Yonglin walked into the laboratory and asked.

"Ah! Master." Ai Ge took off his mask and ran to the doctor: "We have to wait a little longer."

"Huh? It shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Bayi Yonglin looked at the test bench, and he had clearly given her the formula.

"Ah, that... I made a little improvement..." Ai Ge seemed a little embarrassed, originally wanted to tell the master after the results were obtained, but it always felt a bit outrageous to improve the master's formula by himself.

"Really?" Bayi Yonglin didn't take it seriously, picked up the formula written on the paper and nodded frequently. Although it was a little immature, she could still see the girl's thoughts.

"Just do it when you think about it," Bayi Yonglin said: "Don't feel pressured, just treat it as a game, and just explore slowly by yourself."

Seeing that Ai Ge nodded in response, she prepared to leave.

When he got to the door, the doctor suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, it's better not to go out these days. Let me know in advance if you need anything."

Bayi Yonglin always felt that the sudden drop in temperature today was a bit weird, and she needed to cheer up and deal with it carefully.

Chapter 307 306. Visitors in the Shrine

"Good day, Miss Lingmeng."

Hakurei Shrine welcomed its second visitor today.

"Ah, it's Sakuya, it's really rare that you go out in this weather," Reimu nestled in the kotatsu and said hello lazily: "By the way, your hands aren't healed yet?"

Looking at the maid's arm in plaster hanging from her chest.

"Thanks to your concern, there is nothing serious. I plan to remove it in a few days." Sakuya looked at his arm, and the efficiency of work has dropped a lot due to the loss of one hand.

"Well, I just asked casually," Lingmeng took a sip from the teacup, "What's the matter with you? Ah, let me guess, it must be about your little dwarf again."

Sakuya raised her eyebrows, and didn't care about Reimu's impolite address. After all, she was this kind of person, and she didn't have any malice in herself.

"It is indeed the eldest lady who asked me to come. She wants to get rid of your investigation on some things."

"Ah, she won't and can't stand such cold weather, she said it's just..."

"Isn't this just a normal weather change?" Sakuya asked suddenly: "After all, it's already winter."

"And it's not very cold this winter." Sakuya shook the corners of her skirt with fluff as if nothing had happened.

Tsk, I almost forgot that the guy in front of me was a well-known big dog in Gensokyo. Reimu saw that the other party was wearing a scarf, leather shoes, and a leather jacket. He was wearing thick gloves on his hands.

"Then what's the matter with you?" Lingmeng became irritable: "I don't have time to play with your young lady, I'm very busy!"

Sakuya looked at the miko who was nestled in the kotatsu blankly, this sentence was not convincing.

Even Reimu's cheeky face blushed under this kind of gaze: "What, what's wrong?! It's just on standby now! Don't look at me like this, a commission came to the door early this morning, do you know it!"

"Oh, that's it." Sakuya casually got into the kotatsu and said, "Anyway, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me."

Damn, it's the attitude of such a big dog!I don't know how difficult it is for Miss Miko to spend a winter!

"Since the witch is still accepting the commission, then we have already commissioned it here." Sakuya said seriously: "Miss would like to ask you to investigate the vicinity of the Lake of Fog."

"Lake of Fog? Isn't that right in front of your house?" Lingmeng replied with a lack of interest: "Why don't you just drop by and take a look?"

"I think so too." Sakuya showed a tired expression: "We don't have any manpower to send out here."

The eldest lady and the second lady will not be mentioned for the time being, if Master Paqiuli goes out in this kind of weather... emmm...

If Sakuya's hand was not injured, he could take the time to investigate, but now he can barely handle the housework in the hall, so there are not many people who can be useful in the Scarlet Devil Hall.

"What the hell is that? Tell me first and let's listen." Although Reimu absolutely didn't want to leave the shrine.

Sakuya pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "Well... it's actually rumors of huge monsters appearing around the lake of fog."

"Giant monster?" Reimu's expression became subtle, and he always felt that this development seemed familiar: "It's not another advertising balloon, is it?"

"I don't think so. Some of the elf maids did see a huge monster, and they were quite frightened by it."

"Wouldn't it be less convincing if the witness was a goblin? Could it be their prank?" Lingmeng felt that a goblin was responsible for this kind of thing last time.

"I don't think so." Sakuya waved his hand and said, "The goblins in the Scarlet Devil Mansion have not been trained to be very disciplined, and they won't do such things."

"That's right..." Lingmeng was skeptical about this.

"Anyway, that's the way it is. The young lady is very interested in it, but this kind of weather is not a day for her to go out, so I'll leave it to you."

"Ah, it sounds so troublesome." Reimu shrank back into the kotatsu again.

"Understood, I will pay you."

"It's not a matter of remuneration!" Lingmeng felt insulted: "Do you think you can do whatever you want if you have money?!"

Lingmeng took a sip of tea and said don't insult me ​​with your filthy money.

"Well, then I put the deposit in the cash box just now, do you need me to take it?"

"No, no need..." Reimu's confidence suddenly disappeared, and if the money in the cash box was taken away, the gods would blame him.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Sakuya stood up and said goodbye: "Just tell me the results of the investigation."

"Okay, I see..." Reimu sighed and compromised.

Sakuya put on her warm clothes and planned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Sakuya looked back at the shrine maiden who was sealed in the kotatsu suspiciously: "Is there anything else?"

Lingmeng pointed to the closet close at hand: "Help me get some senbei."

……

……

After chewing the senbei with a 'click' sound, and drinking a large cup of hot tea, Reimu's breakfast or lunch was settled.

I lay on my back and tucked into the kotatsu, planning to take another nap.

As for Sakuya's commission, it's fine to copy a paragraph from the strange novel when you have time.

Just when Reimu made up his mind to sleep until dark, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor.

"Don't you have anything to do in winter?" Lingmeng sighed while holding her forehead.

"What are you talking about? Who would want to come to the shrine if there is nothing to do, but after all, is the winter on your ground so cold?" The visitor unceremoniously got into Reimu's kotatsu.

Because the underground is really too hot, Ah Ling is still dressed as before, which is quite thick underground, but it is a bit out of date on the ground, not to mention the cold weather like today.

Along the way, she flew all the way to the shrine almost without touching the ground, and planned to go home quickly after completing the task assigned by the master to enjoy the beautiful environment of the old hell that is like summer all the year round.

"So what's the matter with you coming?" Knocking off the other party's hand reaching for the senbei, what a joke!It’s time to have fun with a cup of tea. Can anyone eat Hakurei Miko’s desserts?

Ah Rin who was beaten was not annoyed, even the old hell had heard about the miserliness of the witch, seeing that there was no snacks to eat, A Rin simply went straight to the point.

"Master Jue asked me to bring you a sentence."

"Oh? What did she say?"

"She wants you to help find Mr. Love."

"Huh? What do you think of a witch?" Reimu pouted her lips and said, "I don't care about finding lost brats. Besides, doesn't that one of yours often not come home? What's the big deal?"

"It's different this time. Master Lian promised to come back before he left home, but it's been three days since the agreed day and he hasn't returned home. Although Master Lian is often disobedient, he will definitely do what he promised. , At least that’s what Master Jue said, something must have happened if you haven’t come back now, it’s not convenient for Master Jue to come to the ground, so I can only ask you.”

Hey, I always feel that this is a very troublesome thing, Reimu has a decadent expression on his face.

"I have already caught the words, and I have put the reward in the Sai money box, so I will go back."

"Hey~ why did you put it in the cash box?" Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the priestess?

"Isn't it put in the cash box?" Ah Ling asked in surprise.

"The money stuffed in the cash box is for the gods! The ones that are handed over to the witch belong to the witch." Reimu educated.

"So that's the case, but there are no gods in the shrine, so it's not all yours."

"Oiho, you are very good." The fact that there is no god in the shrine is obviously a shameful thing, but Reimu is proud of it.

After seeing off the third visitor, Reimu counted today's commissions in detail, deeply feeling everyone's trust in him, and couldn't help but feel boundless fighting spirit in his heart.

With this enthusiasm, Reimu turned over excitedly.

Ha ~ sleep.
