Chapter 12: The Performance of the Banquet

And to her surprise, the scarecrow's entry point was chopped, and the straw at the edge did not collapse at all.

If you were a human being, you wouldn't feel any pain even if you were killed.

Say what to say with the body in action......

Huiyin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her hand.

The reason why the monsters were afraid of her was also understood.

Such a technique...... It can't be explained by swordsmanship alone.

I'm afraid it's been gradually transformed from acquired exercise to innate instinct.

It can be expected that in less than ten years if this continues, after that Excellency, there will be a new great swordsman in Gensokyo.

But he probably didn't understand what this meant.

"The half-beast of knowledge and history and ~ the rumored murderer?. It's kind of scary."

Huiyin, who was so surprised by the swordsmanship, didn't notice that in the distant sky of the private school, there was a figure looking at them from afar.

Unfold the crow-like wings on his back, and skillfully manipulate the SLR camera with his fingers.

Using her experienced technique, Utengu frequently pressed the shutter of the camera.

At a speed that ordinary people can't see.

I'm afraid there's already an afterimage.

But even then, it's just ordinary for her.

The target of the shoot is, of course, an incredible outsider, and then a half-human, half-beast in a private school.

After seeing the swordsmanship just now, not to mention being afraid, there was not even a glance of surprise or admiration.

She is also a youkai from Gensokyo.

And as a member of the Tengu in the area of influence of Youkai Mountain, he will also have the confidence and strength that will not waver no matter how strong he meets.

Moreover, swordsmanship at this speed......

For her

It's not so much interesting material for writing articles, and she has a smile on her face.

"At this speed, he can only be regarded as a second-rate swordsman here. ”

In that case, you can't be the hero of big news. ”

"You have to add some ingredients. ”

At that time, Jian Ya, who was discussing the course content with Huiyin, didn't realize it.

In the sky above Gensokyo, the fastest storm was set off.

======================================

After cleaning up the remains of the scarecrow, Kenya began cleaning up the room again.

After all, this house has been vacant for a few years.

I turned out the rag in the corner, brought well water near the private school to soak the rag, and then used it to clean the floor.

Thanks to Huiyin's regular cleaning of dirt in the past, it's not that dirty. This saved Kenya a lot of effort at this point.

Most of the furniture here was originally used by the scholars of the private school.

The scholar's whereabouts had been unknown for a long time, and he had been searched for in the past, but only the corners of his bloodstained clothes had been found near the forest, and after several years, his whereabouts had not been found, and most of them had been eaten by youkai.

After finishing the housework, I left the house and walked in the corridor to taste the rice balls made by Huiyin

At the door of the private school, the maid of the barnyard family parked a huge carriage.

It seems that he is carrying some goods with Huiyin.

The seal on the outside of the box reads bread, rice, hardware, ...... Some indispensable things in life.

"Your Highness Jianzai, I ask His Highness for a little bit of heart in these things. Please take it."

"It's not good, I've been introduced to work, and I have to accept so many things, I always feel unacceptable......"

"It's okay to pull. Take it~!"

Jianzai, you're welcome~.

Hui Yin poked Kenya's flank with her elbow and whispered.

"It's a good intention. Also, if there are not many compatriots in the village, I think I will want to celebrate. There will be a chance to return the gift in the future."

"Uh...... Then you're welcome."

If you take an inventory, you will find that the variety of goods is quite rich.

Basically, you don't need to buy anything.

In terms of food, there is high-quality rice from the barnyard family's warehouse, and seasonings such as miso and salt

Kitchen utensils are equipped with pots and pans.

And I also sent a brand new quilt, clothes of the right size, a grinding wheel for the maintenance of the sword, powder, knife oil, and some small details.

"It seems that there is basically nothing missing. ”

"I've been so grateful. In this way, if the dojo doesn't do it well, I'll be sorry for them."

"Well, that's a good awakening!Ah, Kenya, tonight, let's show our skills and make some of our favorite dishes."

"It is enough to have a heart"

"Can't you say that, people in the people can't hear it?

Looking at Huiyin's line of sight, a group of residents of the human world had gathered at the door of the private school, each carrying their own proud drinks and food.

Is there a banquet going to be held here?

Not only humans, but also some good youkai joined the ranks after hearing the rumors of the banquet.

In this way, it seems that Kenya does not even have the right to refuse.

No, because there is no choice in the first place.

As they steadily made their way to the open space of the private school, the center of the banquet, many parents of the children began to greet Kenya one by one.

Of course, most of them are willing to join their dojo.

According to the previous agreement with the barnyard family and their servants, the number of protΓ©gΓ©s who join the dojo to learn swordsmanship cannot be less than ten.

This is the most nerve-wracking ......

After all, whether it is suitable for learning swords or not, it is best to judge it face-to-face.

So one by one, the explanation was postponed.

Jian Ya came to the private school and temporarily borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Huiyin

After slowly melting the ink, I began to repeat it with the words of a small pen.

"What is written?"

"Invitation. Marisa, Reimu and Alice. They used to take care of me when I first came to Gensokyo. At that time, we agreed that we would send them a message if life settled down. ”

"That's right. What an upright man. They wouldn't normally attend this kind of banquet. ”

"I'm just following the promise, and of course I still want them to come. ”

After the post was written, it was sealed in an envelope and hurriedly handed it to the messenger, hoping that he would be handed over to them sooner.

"Please!"

The Scud quickly departed at a speed that the human eye could not catch.

That's a speed that humans don't have, but it doesn't have the demonic aura of ordinary youkai either.

Huiyin nodded after hearing this, and replied lightly.

"That's Scud. ”

"Scud?"

"Yes. A kind of weak youkai, it used to be a more famous youkai in the ghost spirit, but now here, the meaning of Scud's work and life is just to see him off. ”

What about sending a message with a youkai......

This is truly a unique feature of Gensokyo.

=======================================================

In the evening, the maids of the barnyard family hung red and white paper lamps near the private school, illuminating the neatly arranged meals of Huiyin and the women of the village.

Shortly before the party began, Marisa and the others arrived.

"Yo, Kenya! Are you okay DAβ˜†ZE"

"Marisa, Alice, you're very welcome. I'm not the one who held the banquet."

"There's a lot of banquets here. Over time, I got used to it. Compared to that, here's your new home. There's so much stuff in there!"

"Hey, hey. Are you ready to be patronized by thieves for the time being?"

"Dojo words that do not hinder. Always welcome. ”

"Whew, did you really open a dojo?"

Just as Marisa, a belated Reimu slowly landed next to Kenya from the sky.

Pretty shoulders are exposed to the wind, don't you feel cold?

"Invitations and the like are sent to the office, how can you say it?"

"I'm also curious, and I was surprised when I brought it. Well, what the hell is all the text talking about? I don't understand it at all!"

"Quite an old article too. Reimu's words, right?"

"Of course. I made the talisman by myself. Well, it's not surprising that Marisa can't read it at that level. ”

"What!!"

Gritting her teeth, Marisa is mocked by Reimu with a gesture to dispel fools.

Whether it's Jian Ya or Alice, they all hugged their stomachs and smiled.

After the commotion, everyone walked to the hall of the private school, which was called the banquet hall.

After each of them took their seats, the host of the banquet and the acting head of the village, Aqiu Nakuda, began to give speeches.

After that, there was a steady stream of people drinking, singing, and playing the piano.

The meals that began to be arranged beautifully were also brought to their favorite places.

Kenya's friends and shemales who were interested in him gathered around him one after another.

And because Reimu is very assertive about the events of the youkai's lair, the youkai have stopped being hostile to him.

At least for now.

"Marisa, is that medicine cured?"

"Huh? Structure generation takes a lot of effort. Well, if it's done, I'll use it for you first. When the time comes, thank you for accepting it, it's a very expensive medicine!"

Looking at Marisa's proud words, Kenya and Alice, who already knew the effect of the medicine, looked at each other and smiled.

Ah Qiu on the side walked over with a wine glass.

My cheeks were red, probably because I had drunk too much alcohol.

"Mr. Kenya, how about you behave?"

"Don't play tricks on me, Your Highness. What is there to show for a layman like me?"

"That's right. Let's play together. ”

…… All right.

Kenya shrugged helplessly.

Since Marisa said so, too.

It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, but now it's better to show yourself in a dignified manner.

After all, I will live here for a long time in the future, and it is not okay to be ignored.

Speaking of the after-performances that come with the banquet.

Marisa is a firework that can be launched in the air and can be formed in various shapes with various colors.

Alice is a puppet trick.

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.

"So, here's the performance of the sword!"

"Well, me, but I don't have any art."

"Kenya, how about the one during the day?"

Following Huiyin's suggestion, Kenya went to fetch the same scarecrow and placed it on the venue, and Marisa made a mischievous expression and slowly walked over to Kenya and handed him the apple in his hand.

"Put an apple on the head of the puppet, it doesn't matter if it's a little more difficult, you have to cut it."

"Will there be apples in the spring? But let's try to do it."

The place of the banquet fell silent and became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to the sword that had been drawn by Kenya.

The waist is slightly bent, and the mind is calm, and you can feel the subtle touch of the hilt from your fingers.

My heart quickly calmed down, and I imagined the droplets falling in my mind.

Thanks to the drink just now, it is easier to clear up the head.

Suddenly, the sword light from the dream appeared in my mind again.

Cyan sword light.

It's fast, it's sharp.

With the momentum of cutting the wind.

Caught that moment!

"Break!"

Most of the people present only felt the momentum of the sword being pulled up in an instant.

Then it was he who put the light green swordsmanship into the sheath

The scarecrow is the same as before.

Did it fail?

The inhabitants of the human world, who were completely confused about what was going on, whispered to them.

Huiyin pouted at Reimu on the side.

"Ah, that's what I said, right?"

"Is that guy really human? Or is there some power in the sword?"

"Anyway, it worked. ”

With a sudden exhalation, Kenya stepped down from the venue.

Marisa immediately ran up, grabbing his clothes and questioning.

"Hey, hey, nothing has changed, has it?"

"No, it's chopped. Whoa"

Follow Kenya's gaze. The puppet was blown by the wind, and its upper body fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a little dust.

The apples on the head are evenly cut into six equal parts that are easy to eat.

Facing Marisa, who was dumbfounded, Kenya held out his hand while nibbling on an apple.

"Eat?"

=============================================

I have a special trick at pretending!
