On an early autumn afternoon, Hakurei Shrine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Marisa's hat and Reimu's large butterfly headband knot are scattered across the hallway.

The shoes of the two were taken off under the hallway.

Reimu and Marisa are ...... Standing back to back.

"Who's taller?" asked Marisa.

"Is it me?" replied Reimu.

"No, Reimu is obviously facing away from me, how can I know?"

"But that's true, and," Reimu, who was leaning back to Marisa, turned around, "and wasn't Marisa the one who did it when she was compared face-to-face just now?"

"There's nothing you can do about this," Marisa blushed, "Reimu's boobs are too cunning......"

"Huh-" Reimu questioned dissatisfiedly.

"That's the case!"

"It's rare for Marisa to be shy," Reimu smiled, "but Marisa hasn't been taller than me since she was a child." ”

"This time it's different! I've measured it before!" Marisa was clearly confident in her growth.

Looks like you're prepared?" Reimu pinched her chin and thought for a moment.

"Well, that's all that's it—"

Reimu jumped off the entrance and circled around the shrine barefoot to pick up a stone.

"Marisa, stand against the pillar. ”

The two pillars supporting the eaves of the shrine are in the hallway, and Reimu has Marisa's head pressed against one of them.

Gently draw a horizontal line on the top of your head with a stone.

"Measure it for me, too. ”

Passing the stone, Reimu stands in Marisa's position in the same position.

Holding the stone, Marisa swiped lightly on the top of Reimu's head.

And then there was silence for a long time.

......

......

"Why? The two of them sat back in the hallway, Marisa picked up a piece of snack and threw it into her mouth, her eyes widening, "It's delicious!

"Teacher's newly developed dim sum. ”

"It's that cheating guy again," Marisa picked up another piece with a lot of annoyance, and picked up the teacup in the other hand, "It's all his fault!"

"Eat slowly, it'll be too sweet if you eat too much," Reimu smiled, "Why did the teacher provoke you again?"

"Look," the snack was stuffed into his mouth, and he took a sip of hot tea, "I won't talk about anything else, it's ...... in terms of height and breasts."

Reimu smiled without saying a word, and took a sip of the teacup.

Faintly, there seemed to be a "bleating" sound from the back of the shrine......

"So it's cheating!"

"Eh-"

"Why can Reimu drink goat's milk or something since he was a child?"

"Poof," Reimu laughed, "hahaha, Marisa is old enough to care about this." ”

Marisa angrily took her hat and put it back on her head, "It's okay, so I'll be taller than you!"

Reimu also retrieved her red and white ribbon and tied it back to her head.

"I've gotten taller too~" Reimu said with a grin.

"What, it's not as tall as my hat!"

"Hi Ihi, Marisa is the highest!"

"What, that pun. Marisa blushed.

"Marisa is taller than me. "Admit it, there's no shortage of meat, although it's only in the form of a hat.

Marisa was dissatisfied: "What is this?

"No, doesn't it make that much sense to be tall or something?"

"That's what I said......"

Of course, it doesn't mean much to compare height, but defeating Reimu in a contest makes a lot of sense to Marisa.

"Well, look there," Reimu pointed to the pillar where the two of them were comparing their heights just now, "Then there should be a very shallow line down there, right?"

"Huh?"

"That's how tall my teacher measured me a few years ago. ”

"Nani?!"

Marisa kicked off her freshly put shoes and knelt down to the pillar to take a closer look.

"Oh really, when did this happen?"

"Hmm......" Reimu tilted his head and thought, "About three years ago? ”

"Reimu was so short back then!" Marisa straightened up again, comparing it to the thin line that was already very dim, "It's just here in my belly!!"

"As for being so surprised?"

"No! It turns out that Reimu was so short at that time! Wow, it's so cute, I really want to raise such a small Reimu-chan!"

"What are you talking about!" Reimu was dissatisfied, "At that time, you were obviously lower than me!"

Reimu also stood up, walked to the pillar, compared with the faintly mottled old line, and could only reach his lower abdomen, so he muttered, "So I was so short back then?"

At this time, Mo Ming, who pushed the door out of the house and wore clogs and tied her hair, saw the movements of the two.

"Oh, what are you doing? than your height?"

"Hey, if it weren't for the fact that you used to drink goat's milk to Reimu, I'd definitely be taller than Reimu by now!" Marisa said angrily, pointing at Mo Ming with a broom.

Mo Ming smiled: "Compared to the height, I can look down on the two of you!"

"Oh, but I can hit ten of you. ”

"Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, she fights at every turn, be careful not to get married!"

In a sense, the term yellow-haired girl is very appropriate.

"I want you to take care of it!"

After a few words of routine, Mo Ming put the dim sum plate in his hand on the entrance: "The newly developed small round pine pastry, the two of you use it slowly." ”

"You guy, always feed Reimu snacks, Reimu will eat fat!" Marisa sat down and unceremoniously picked up a piece of muffin.

"Where am I a pet!" Reimu naturally ate unkindly.

Mo Ming walked to the pillar and squatted down, looking at the line above.

"When I first arrived, Little Reimu was dry and thin, looking malnourished. Mo Ming sighed.

"Teacher, don't talk about my past!"

"Why?"

"It feels so embarrassing!"

"Okay, okay~" Mo Ming got up and prepared to go back to the house.

"Where is the teacher going?"

"Well, I'm going to go to Xianglin Hall to buy something later, I heard from the goblins that cocoa beans have appeared in the auction in the past few days, if the news is true, you must not miss it!"

"Oh, that...... Bring the Yin Yang Jade!"

"Got it!" a voice came from inside the room.

......

......

The couple's tea time was extended by the presentation of new dim sum.

Marisa takes a sip of tea.

And then it squirted out with a "poof-"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough ......"

"What's wrong?" Reimu wondered.

"Hey, haven't you noticed Reimu? That guy just talked about you!"

"yes. As if aware of what Marisa was going to say, Reimu returned her gaze to the cup in her hand and lowered her head.

"When did he regain his memory!"

Reimu shook her head.

"Don't know?"

"I don't know exactly, but my intuition tells me that the teacher may have ...... a long time ago."

"Didn't Reimu ask?"

"Didn't ask. ”

As if sensing the unusual atmosphere, Marisa smiled and said, "Don't keep your face calm, no matter how much your teacher remembers about you, it's not a bad thing." ”

"Yes...... But ......"

But that's just a point.

The two had discussed this not long ago, and some conclusions had already been made by then.

Marisa decides to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, he went to Xianglin," Marisa crossed her legs with her chin on the broom, "Xianglin's side disappeared for a while, and the auction was held recently because he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with the youkai......"

Rinnosuke had a lot of trouble because he had been misrepresented as the back-of-the-house sponsor of that dangerous festival game.

"Oooh," Reimu nodded, "in the name of the auction?"

Marisa nodded, and then said, "If you don't go with me, maybe there will be danger." ”

Reimu smiled, "What about Marisa, when it comes to the dangers he faces, Rinnosuke must be much taller than the teacher, right?"

"It's okay, Rinnosuke has already arranged it. ”

"Teacher's words, it's okay. ”

"It doesn't matter, what does that mean?"

Is it okay to be implicated, or is it okay not to be implicated?

"Hmm......" Reimu pondered her words, "probably both, right?"

"Huh?" Marisa was slightly surprised, "Is it okay?"

"Well, I'm confident I'll be able to get over before the teacher gets hurt. ”

"Oooh. Marisa knew that unlike Reimu's worries when Mo Ming was wandering around before, Reimu was probably even more powerful now.

"Teacher...... Maybe Gensokyo's youkai don't know too well," Reimu pinched a muffin cake and played with it, but he didn't tighten his mouth, "but I'm hoping that some youkai can provoke the sensei right now." ”

"Huh?"

"Then I'll clean them up and prove to them that there are people in Gensokyo who can't be touched. ”

Marisa took a few breaths to understand what it meant.

"In other words, Lingmeng wants to show everyone, Mo Ming is protected by Lingmeng?"

"Well," Reimu nodded, "that's pretty much what it means. ”

I've thought about doing this before, but I've been hesitant.

The Witch of Hakurei will definitely befriend some people, and if they know about the relationship between the teacher and themselves, I am afraid that they will use him to blackmail Reimu herself.

But then it was understood.

As long as you do it yourself, it's absolutely fair. Whether it is a monster or a human, it is absolutely fair to rationalize the inevitable evil.

In this way, you can no longer hide the relationship between the teacher and yourself, and protect the teacher openly.

This is a decision that Reimu makes after the festival.

......

......

Mo Ming packed up and set off from the shrine with a package on his back.

Marisa and Reimu are still sitting there.

Mo Ming added water to the teapot before leaving, and asked, and the two girls said that the refreshments were enough, so they didn't add any more snacks.

The scorching heat has passed, the weather is getting cooler, and the breeze is blowing the shrubs on both sides of the shrine.

"Reimu. ”

"What's wrong, Marisa?"

"I always feel that it doesn't look like you, like that. ”

"Huh?" Reimu picked up a small snack and put it in her mouth, "What?"

Chew chew chew.

"What do you say about your teacher...... Marisa wrinkled her brows, "I always feel like Reimu doesn't pay too much attention to anything on weekdays, but there is only one exception. ”

"This one. ”

"How?"

"Well, no matter who you are, you have something you want to get, right?" Reimu smiled.

"In the case of Reimu, it's your teacher?"

Reimu noncommittally picked up the teacup and drank it down.

Then he took a deep breath, pulled his crossed legs away, and stretched his limbs.

"About three years ago, when I was very young, I was actually a little afraid of teachers. ”

"Oh, I can't really see it. ”

There was a little trembling little Reimu in front of Mo Ming, and Marisa couldn't make such an association because she was too impressed by the current Reimu.

"Teachers always like to teach me weird lessons. ”

"Oh, I still remember that!" Marisa raised her hand, "I remember it was summer, and I had a few classes!"

"Marisa is here to eat watermelon!"

"Eh, what's the matter? Besides, those cooking classes are pretty interesting!"

"That's fine. ”

Reimu held her chin in one hand and fell into a memory.

"I remember one time, when it was the time of debate class, the teacher suddenly put a big bucket in front of me......

......

......

Mo Ming placed the bucket in front of Reimu.

"Well, that's what today's homework is about. ”

The little witch looked at Mo Ming suspiciously.

"I used to fetch water, but today you will change the little witch. ”

There are several sizes of barrels in the shrine, and when Reimu lived alone, she used the smallest size.

But now Mo Ming put in front of her is the largest one, and the height of the bucket is almost catching up with the height of the little witch.

If it's an empty bucket, you might be able to pick it up with the strength of a little witch, but if it's filled with water......

"First of all, I am absolutely confident, little witch, that you have the ability to fill a bucket of water and carry it into the kitchen. ”

Mo Ming's words are conclusive.

At this time, it was already the third month of Mo Ming's teaching of the little witch.

The two can't say that they don't know each other, but in fact, they haven't done much small talk on weekdays.

At this time, Lingmeng was still very afraid of Mo Ming, because he had the majesty of a teacher.

Mo Ming said, "You have the ability, so Lingmeng believes it."

She didn't want the teacher to look down on her. If you don't do what the teacher said, you might be told something like, "So the little witch can't do it, so I think I'm going to have to re-examine ......."

Xiaoling dreams of being praised, and being scolded will be very aggrieved, and it has always been the case.

So, Reimu thinks she has to do it.

It didn't take much effort to pick up the empty barrel and carry it next to the well.

However, it was not possible to bring up a whole bucket of water.

It's too heavy, it's beyond the limits of a twelve-year-old girl's strength.

Xiao Lingmeng looked at Mo Ming, who was sitting on the side.

Mo Ming took the teapot and poured tea into the cup.

The little witch looked back at the well.

Tried again...... Then tried again.

But it never worked, she was sweating anxiously.

But when he cast his gaze, Mo Ming was still sitting indifferently and drinking tea, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally...... After trying for the tenth time and not being able to beat a whole bucket of water, the little witch realized.

She glanced at Mo Ming, and then disappeared to the other side of the shrine.

After a while, she appeared, and it turned out that she went to the grocery room and took out the bucket that she usually came to fetch water.

That's smart. Mo Ming, who caught a glimpse of the little witch in the afterglow, smiled, and the little witch who caught a glimpse of this smile confirmed the correctness of what she did.

A keg...... Then a small keg...... After repeating it five times, the sweaty little Reimu finally filled the vat with water.

Then, the little witch had another problem.

Finally, the large wooden barrel was filled with water...... However, after trying it, I couldn't pick up the barrel at all.

With all the strength of his body, he could only move the barrel slightly for a short distance.

It's fine to just carry it flat, but it's not enough to carry it up the three small steps of the shrine and just pick it up a little.

However, Reimu did not give up.

Even though the ribbon and clothes were wet with sweat, even though the small red and white witch costume was wet from the splash of water on the bucket, the little girl still tried her best to move the large bucket to the side in centimeters.

Then, because her strength was exhausted, the little witch tripped again and fell down.

The barrel was also emptied, and the filled water was sprinkled on the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Lingmeng's heart fell into despair.

Sure...... I'm going to be disciplined, I'm going to be underestimated...... Will be criticized by the teacher......

I didn't dare to look at Mo Ming, who was drinking tea on the side.

"Woo-" The little witch sat on the ground and began to cry.

......

......

Silently putting down the teacup in his hand, Mo Ming stepped forward and squatted down.

Pick up the sobbing little witch in her arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Mo Ming tried her best to comfort her with her gentlest voice.

"Wow-" Xiao Lingmeng didn't speak, but cried even more because of Mo Ming's actions.

This lasted for a while, and the little witch who buried her head in Mo Ming's arms cried a little softer, so Mo Ming stopped paying attention to it and began to talk softly to herself.

"Little witch, you have lived in the shrine for a long time and don't interact with people, so if you continue like this, you will ignore the power of interpersonal relationships, which should not be. ”

So, the real purpose of today's homework is to make you aware of the potential forces around you. ”

"I wasn't joking when I said, 'Little witch, you have the ability to carry the bucket over'. ”

"Maybe you're afraid of me and think I'm always making things difficult for you in terms of schoolwork, which makes you feel antagonistic to me......"

"But, remember, I'm your teacher! So, you can ask me for help, and I can help you kick this bucket of water into the kitchen. ”

"Remember, networking is also a resource, and because I'm your teacher, I'm your strength. Someone who can help you in times of need. ”

"I'm sad if you subjectively ignore that. ”

"Not only me, but also Yakumo Murasaki, and the little witch you have made friends, you have to learn to ask for help, instead of taking everything on your own. ”

"If you can use our strength, whether it's your friend or family, I think the other person will be very happy. ”

"That's what today's homework is about, you just worked a lot hard, right? There's something delicious tonight!"

Patting the little witch's head, Mo Ming lifted the bucket that had fallen down next to her and went to the well to fetch water again.

And Xiao Lingmeng, who was still crying just now, has stopped sobbing and silently looks at the back of the young teacher fetching water by the well.

......

......

"Well, that's it. ”

"I can't see it, this guy is quite good at picking up girls!"

"What are you talking about!" Reimu disagreed, "I was still too stupid at the time, I should have just put the empty bucket in the kitchen, and then poured the bucket full of water into the bucket in the kitchen!"

"Oh, genius!" Marisa sneered.

"What, it's just that my mind didn't turn for a while!" Reimu blushed rarely.

"So, if I could choose again, what would Reimu do?"

"No. ”

"Oh. ”

If I had to choose the current Reimu, of course I wouldn't do that.

After all, it was the teacher's embrace.

"Tsk. ”

Seeing Reimu's peachy face fall into memory again, Marisa bared her teeth in displeasure.

"Now, Marisa. ”

"Huh?"

"As the teacher said, he is my strength, so," Reimu Hakurei, who came back to her senses, smiled at Marisa, "I am also the power of the teacher when I have grown up at this moment. ”

"Therefore, everyone who provokes the teacher, whether it is a human or a youkai, I will make him pay. ”

Marisa is in a state of stupor, once again, because of Reimu's sudden display of beauty and strong self-confidence.

ps: I was going to write the main line, but because there was something going on, I temporarily coded a chapter of daily life (too sweet 233).

After all, it's a trivial daily life in Gensokyo, so daily life can also be counted as the main story (forced main story 233)

Question: When did Mo Ming remember the memories of the Black History part of Volume Zero?

I can't answer it, I'm not serious about reading, so I'm asking for a recommendation vote!(Forcibly ask for a recommendation 233)
