Looking at Yakumo Yukari who suddenly started to go crazy, Luo Kong was speechless.

"You're not trying to cheat me out of money, are you?"

"How could that be! What is Reimu's current identity? She's the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine! With just a little bit of dowry, the whole shrine will be yours. Isn't that much better than working in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"Are you sure how much this shrine is worth?"

Luo Kong looked around subtly at this dilapidated shrine where almost no worshippers came.

"What are you talking about? This shrine is an ancient building after all. It's an antique, right? It can be sold for a lot of money!"

Yakumo Yukari shook her head.

But suddenly she found that Luo Kong's eyes were a little strange, and he looked at her with a smile.

"Well, if it's really like what you said, wouldn't it be better for me to use the gifts to marry you?"

Yakumo Yukari: “?”

"Think about it. You've said that. Reimu isn't as pretty as you, and her figure isn't as good as yours. And she's so poor that she only has the shrine that can't be sold..."

So you're setting your sights on me?

Yakumo Yukari looked at Luo Kong with displeasure as he was grinning at her. For the first time, she felt that there was someone who was as shameless as her.

But she had been a monster sage for many years after all, so she quickly adjusted her mood. She cleared her throat and spoke in a slightly affected voice.

"Hehe, you have good taste... But unfortunately, I'm still young, only seventeen years old, and I don't want to get married so early..."

"That's okay. I'm less than a year old and younger than you. I can afford to wait."

Luo Kong's tone was slightly teasing.

"I'll make the reservation first, so that you won't be too old and unmarried by then."

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

Oh no, she has met her match.

"Ahem, don't worry about my affairs."

Covering her face with a folding fan, Yakumo Yukari saw that her sales pitch was failing, so she changed her tone and began to sound pitiful.

"Ah, actually I have no choice but to sell it to you like this... This place is too far away from the human world, no one has the courage to come here, Reimu... Reimu is also very lonely, I really couldn't bear to see it, so I wanted to help her!"

Yakumo Yukari's acting was natural, and two tears squeezed out from the corners of her eyes.

"Just think about it. She watches the sunrise alone every day, cleans the yard by herself, and stays alone. Not many people come to the shrine all year round. She has been repeating these days for decades. If you don't want her, she may not be able to get married in the future. Don't you want to give such a poor girl a warm home?"

Zi's ​​tone became more and more vivid. She wiped her tears, took the handkerchief that was handed to her from somewhere, and said thank you.

"Ah, thank you!"

After saying thank you to the person behind her, Yakumo Yukari looked at Luo Kong again with an expectant tone.

"How about you reconsider it?"

However, Luo Kong did not answer her, but just looked behind her subtly.

"........."

After a moment of silence

Seeing Luo Kong's gaze, Yakumo Yukari suddenly realized something.

There are only three people in this shrine, and Luo Kong is right in front of her. So who handed her the handkerchief?

When she turned around, she saw Reimu looking at her with a fake smile.

The slender hand silently clasped on the top of Yakumo Yukari's head, and Reimu's tone was obviously unfriendly.

"You gossipy woman, who can't get married?"

Reimu's fingers continued to exert force, and Yakumo Yukari, who was held down, immediately began to struggle.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...be gentle, my skull!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Luo Kong silently mourned for the monster in the gap for three seconds, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, he didn't agree. It's better for him to stay away from such a woman who can lift up her skull.

.........

"Have a meal!"

Reimu glared at Yakumo Yukari, who was covering her head with tears in her eyes, and returned to her seat and sat down.

"Reimu, what's wrong with you? Why did you only eat this for lunch?"

Yakumo Yukari, who had finally recovered to her original state, looked at the only vegetables and grilled fish on the table and immediately complained in dissatisfaction.

“Eat it if you like it!”

Lingmeng's expression suddenly became even uglier.

This guy, not only comes to eat for free on weekdays, but every time after eating, he even has the nerve to pack up the leftovers she saved for dinner and take them home... Does he really think this is a restaurant?

"Tsk, so biased..."

Yakumo Yukari looked at the grilled fish that was more inclined towards Luo Kong and muttered something under her breath.

But since it's free food, it would be a waste not to eat it!

...........

Speaking of which, Luo Kong, I still don’t know where you came from. I remember... you were not in the Scarlet Devil Mansion at first, right?

After dinner, Yakumo Yukari lazily lay on the ground of the shrine, holding a small cake in her hand - this was the after-meal dessert kindly provided by Luo Kong.

After swallowing the cake, Yakumo Yukari asked Luo Kong casually.

"I don't know myself..."

Luo Kong didn't have anything to hide and spoke directly.

"When I woke up, I was lying in a field of flowers and I didn't remember anything."

"Flower field?" Reimu asked in surprise, "What kind of flower field is it?"

"It's full of sunflowers...ah, sunflowers like these."

Luo Kong took out a sunflower from the record library and waved it in front of the two of them, explaining.

Looking at the familiar flowers, Reimu and Zi fell into silence.

"That's true. Thank you for your hard work..."

Zi smiled awkwardly.

Although she originally wanted to say something like, "You are still alive?", she thought about it and felt that it was too rude, so she didn't say it.

But, it suddenly appeared...

Should I ask Lan to check the barrier again?

.........

After finishing her meal, Yakumo Yukari found an excuse to leave. No one knew whether she was really going to check the barrier, or went back to instruct others to work for her and went to sleep.

However, after helping Reimu clean up, Luo Kong went to the kitchen again to exchange some ingredients.

Because he was afraid that there would be too much left and the food would go bad, Luo Kong could only choose some ingredients that were not prone to spoilage.

Hmm... maybe I should ask MuQ someday if there is any magic method that can prolong the preservation of food?

Walking out of the kitchen, Luo Kong looked at Lingmeng who was bringing him two cups of tea and asked casually.

"Reimu, by the way, has Marisa come to your place recently?"

"No... that guy hasn't come here once since the party."

"Really? That guy is really something. Apart from the few times she was seen secretly borrowing books late at night, she didn't leave any message. Doesn't she know that others will be worried?"

Luo Kong shook his head and complained.

"Humph, isn't that just right? Without that guy to bother me, I can relax and have some free time."

Reimu curled her lips, as if she was used to it.

"Don't worry, that guy will be like this once he becomes obsessed with magic research... When he gets too hungry, he will probably come out to look for food, right?"

"One or two of them really make me worry."

When Luo Kong heard this, he shook his head and didn't say anything more.

After making the tea, Reimu picked up one of the cups of tea, sat on the wooden edge of the shrine entrance, and looked up at the sky.

This is a very common thing. She always stares blankly like this when she is bored.

Luo Kong was a little curious. He secretly glanced at Lingmeng who was sipping tea and staring at the sky in a daze, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Are you always like this when you have nothing to do?"

"Um...."

Without objecting, Reimu responded lightly.

"Won't you get tired of watching this every day?"

“I’m tired of it…”

Hearing Reimu's words, Luo Kong couldn't help but laugh.

"Really? Then I'll try it too?"

Sitting next to Lingmeng very unceremoniously, Luo Kong picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Well, the tea leaves are a little lighter than last time.

But it’s not that bad to drink.

Reimu looked at this guy who was speaking in a contradictory manner speechlessly and didn't say anything else.

Luo Kong also imitated Reimu, raised his head, and looked at the unpolluted blue sky that only existed in Gensokyo, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The weather looks pretty good today, doesn't it?"

“…”

Listening to Luo Kong's sigh, Reimu's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a rare sense of peace in her heart.

In the past, the elderly priestess who always had a gentle smile on her face seemed to have sat in Luo Kong's current position and said the same words.

Reimu lowered her head and took a sip of tea, hiding the smile that she couldn't help but raise. She followed her memory and heard the child answer himself, and they all spoke together.

“It’s pretty good…”

...........

Inside the Yakumo House, Yakumo Aoi looked at Yakumo Yukari who was peeking at the shrine through a gap with a strange smile on her face, and her face was filled with dismay.

"Master Lan, Master Zi, what happened to her?"

Orange, who was standing by, pulled at the corner of Lan's clothes out of curiosity.

Lan shook his head, bent down and touched Orange's head, with a serious look on his face.

"Orange, when you grow up, don't become a weird monster like Purple-sama!"

"...Yeah, I understand."

The young cat demon nodded silently in response to his parents' warnings.
