Chapter 62: The Epistles

Jian Ya straightened his waist and stood beside Huiyin seriously.

Kamihakuzawa Huiyin, in Gensokyo, has the title of "half-beast of knowledge and history".

Half-beast, in other words, half-demon.

The strange thing is that even Huiyin has always emphasized that she is not a simple half-demon. But for Kenya, who has been together for almost a month and has lived together for more than ten days, he has never seen Huiyin's posture as a monster.

Although she repeatedly insisted that the time was not ripe, Kenya still felt that Huiyin didn't seem to like to show her monster posture in front of Kenya.

For him, Huiyin, whether it is a human or a monster, is a good girl who is kind to people, omnipotent, virtuous and dignified.

It doesn't affect his opinion.

But now...

He squinted at his boss who was reading the test papers, and said with a painful face, "Can't I make a few fewer papers!"

Huiyin turned her head, looked at Jian Ya who was holding a dozen test papers, and shook her head helplessly

"You're so bad at math that you're going to be laughed at by your parents sooner or later. 」

"Although the basic calculation part has been passed, the practical application is really miserable. 」

"In the next exam, if you still don't meet the standards, I can only deduct your salary. 」

Hearing this, Jian Ya, who was standing behind Hui Yin, couldn't help frowning.

The tuition fee for the temple house is not high, and it happens to be affordable for the residents of the world.

The main source of income is still dependent on the patronage of various large families.

Therefore, every month, Huiyin will make a detailed report on the various expenses of the temple house and submit it to them in writing.

The report also includes the students' learning status.

In addition to being a dojo teacher in Terakoya, Kenya is also a student of Huiyin.

Liberal arts aside, science is his toughest part.

Although the basic calculations have barely caught up recently, the more advanced parts are not understood.

His thinking is obviously very clear, his mind is not stupid, and he can't cultivate, but it doesn't mean that he has a problem with his IQ.

But every time I encounter this kind of theoretical problem, my mind will be blank and I don't know where to start.

In this way, if you can't make some obvious progress in the next small test, you will really be deducted from your salary.

Speaking of wages, the corners of his mouth became more and more bitter.

Huiyin's salary for him is not high, but it is not low, daily life is absolutely enough, and the excess is enough for him to occasionally have a luxury.

But ever since that hospitalization, he has become fond of drinking.

As for how much you like it......

…… It's probably what Bai Yulou looks like every day after he comes back.

Thinking of this, his face became more and more embarrassed.

Gensokyo's farmland is protected by the gods, but it's not cheap enough for him to drink every day.

In other words, his purse bottomed out.

In other words, if he fails the next exam, he won't be able to drink.

Thinking that the day without alcohol was coming, Kenya lowered his head in frustration, just hummed a few times, and walked out of the office weakly.

Huiyin, who was reading the test papers with her back to Jianya's office, seemed to feel his expression and bitterness.

The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

Like a mischievous child.

Laughing happily.

……

……

Even if it is said that he has to study seriously, he still has a headache when facing that pile of test papers with some weight.

When you move the test paper back to your room, you find that you don't know where to start, and sometimes it is not only for children, but also for teachers.

All the questions set by Huiyin are tailor-made for him, and they are all difficult points that he will not know in the past small exams.

If you want to complete these topics thoroughly, you must review all of Huiyin's recent courses.

This will delay your original itinerary.

Thinking of this, Kenya's originally sad expression suddenly became warm.

He grabbed a letter next to the test paper and read it carefully, with unconcealed happiness between his eyebrows.

Shortly after the letter arrived, it was handed out from somewhere in the Lake of Mist, and through the hand of the little demon Scud, he came to the temple house in the human world.

I don't know if it's because the letter has just been written, but the envelope has a warm feeling of the sender in the hand.

He opened the envelope with his hands and feet, and then carefully put the snow-white envelope aside.

What catches your eye is still the upright and sharp calligraphy.

Although Jianya's calligraphy is also good, it is dwarfed by this free-flowing brushstroke.

This calligraphy is peaceful, the law is strict and quite good, take a closer look, only to find that it is actually a combination of fiber, strong and hidden in the full drag ink.

It's like a way of being a person and practicing martial arts.

This martial artist must be a serious worker.

Just from the handwriting, Kenya can think of the integrity of this author.

Continuing to look down, I saw that the beginning was still so kind and polite.

"Your Highness Jianya, I haven't seen you for a long time, I replied a little late a few days ago, I'm really sorry, please forgive me.

About the incident where Ling Mei invited me to go to the earth............ My owner still doesn't agree with OTZ.

There are its own difficulties, and I hope you will understand.

It is for this reason that I have come up with this method of correspondence...... It's great that you can agree.

……………

When the time comes, I have to stand guard again.

This time I wrote in a hurry, and I can't help you reply to it every time you write so seriously.

I haven't written a letter for a long time, maybe I'm too happy, and I'm a little incoherent for a while.

All in all, I'm looking forward to the day I meet you.

Red Devil Pavilion Door Red Meiling Respectfully"

Probably an illusion, there seems to be a little knife mark on the back of the paper.

Although it was very thin and light, and it didn't even reach the level of piercing the paper, Kenya still felt that when writing this letter, the martial artist, Hong Meiling, was indeed dodging something's attack.

Judging from the marks and size, it is probably a hidden weapon such as a shuriken or a throwing knife.

…… Are all the warriors of the Red Devil Pavilion so powerful?

Kenya frowned, thinking to himself, if he didn't forget to train himself even every day, and always did high-intensity cultivation and fighting, constantly grinding in on each other's skills.

It's no wonder why that demon dream didn't say a word about the Red Devil Pavilion.

After all, if it was usual, knowing that there was such a place, he would indeed ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, and carry the Budu Imperial Soul Sword to challenge.

But why did the owner repeatedly object to his meeting with Master Hong?

Despite all this confusion in his heart, Kenya dipped his pen in ink and began to write.

Roughly speaking, I am looking forward to meeting with Master Hong, and at the same time, I want to know a little more about the situation of the Red Devil Pavilion if I allow.

In the middle, he added some of his recent daily situations, and implicitly expressed his desire to work more...... Do you have any vacancies there?

Just as he was about to finish writing these few lines, suddenly Kenya saw the pile of untouched test papers on his desk again.

It seems that he was infected by the resentment of the exam papers

At the end of the letter, it was inevitable to add his own long-standing doubts......

It's a bit of a no-nonsense.

"Why is it that a person with good martial virtues like you, Master Hong, can only be a disciple?"

It's a simple statement, but if Marisa is there, she will definitely be able to clearly understand what Kenya means.

Because Kenya often uses this tone to sarcastically mock Marisa.

This sarcasm is often subtle, but the attitude is clear......

The exact words he wanted to say were-

Is the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion an idiot?

……

……

After carefully wrapping the letter and making sure that nothing was missing, Kenya handed the letter to the Scud who was still standing on the side.

Scud is a very popular type of yokai in the human world, and it is one of the few yokai that is warmly welcomed even in Gensokyo.

The body is small, about the size of a normal cat, and it has the feeling of a little elf.

But it ran very fast, and Kenya once tried to compete with it.

…… At the same time, two footwork methods of wind and lightning are used.

The conclusion is that it is easy to catch up within a few dozen steps, but after a few dozen steps, it is a feeling that you can't even see the back of the other party, and you can't reach it.

So, this guy who looks inconspicuous on the outside, is it still the fastest on the ground in Gensokyo?

Laughing, thinking of Youmeng's unconvinced expression at that time, Kenya suddenly became happy again.

The first few letters were actually painstakingly delivered by Youmeng.

The first day or two, just dropping by, is not a big deal.

But when Kenya and Hong Meiling got acquainted, their correspondence became more frequent.

Youmeng can't stand it anymore.

From one a day at the beginning, to two a day, to five a day on a certain day.

Going back and forth between the people and the Red Devil Pavilion, such a high-intensity workout, even the demon dream can't stand it.

So after hearing about this, Huiyin helped ask the little monsters at the foot of Youkai Mountain to take the place of Youmeng to take on this job.

Of course, it is not gratuitous, and every time a letter is exchanged, the party who sent the letter must pay a little to the Scuds.

This reward, whether it is for Jian Ya or for the generous Red Devil Pavilion, seems too slight.

"Here's today's rice wine. 」

I saw that Kenya carefully took out a bottle of rice wine from his arms and handed it to Scud.

The little monster Scud squinted and didn't open the bottle. For it, just by seeing the painful expression of Sensei Kenya, he could understand that this must be another bottle of very delicious rice wine.

Jian Ya's salary was not much, and he secretly bought a lot of rice wine with Huiyin on his back every day.

The rice wine in the people is cheap and affordable, and the son of the rice wine owner is a student of Kenya, so Kenya can secretly drink a little wine every day to satisfy his hunger like now.

He didn't know what kind of wine the Red Devil Pavilion was paying for, but he thought it must be something taller than rice wine.

For the youkai of Gensokyo, the drink is a little more tangible than the currency.

And judging from the way Reimu and the others drank freely at the banquet, it seems that Gensokyo also has a prevalent drinking.

The exact source of this is not clear, at least in front of his eyes.

So he said goodbye to the little monster with the wine bottle on his back and the envelope with a painful face.

As he went out, Scud tilted his head in confusion.

Looking behind him, the green-shirted swordsman who made countless monsters fear.

Cramps at the corners of the mouth and expression.

I thought so in my mind.

This is a really interesting teacher.
