Chapter 142: The Banquet (Part I)

(a)

On the night of Nalan Twilight's discharge, in order to celebrate, a large group of people set up a small charcoal stove in the dining room of the Red Devil Pavilion to play barbecue, gather in a circle, drink and skewer, and be quite happy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In addition to the people from the Red Devil Pavilion, there were also Reimu, who had to borrow the Red Devil Pavilion due to the destruction of the shrine, and Marisa, who ran over to eat again.

While eating and drinking, Reimu suddenly raised his glass and raised his neck, poured in a whole glass of beer, and then threw the large glass on the table, wiped the beer foam on his lips with his sleeve, and shouted with a red neck:

"Okay, it's decided!"

"What have you decided?" Marisa, who was also very drunk, stretched out her arm and hooked Reimu's neck and interjected, "Have you finally made up your mind to worship my archmage Marisa as a teacher?"

"you!"

Reimu pushed Marisa away and announced to everyone present:

"Tomorrow the banquet will be held, and the venue will be set at the Red Devil Pavilion. ”

When the mutation is solved, a banquet will be held, which is a Gensokyo tradition. It was customary for the banquet to be held at the Hakurei Shrine, but now that the shrine has been destroyed and has not yet been rebuilt, it would be a wise decision to move it to the Red Devil Pavilion.

"Wait...... Remilia swallowed the barbecue in her mouth, pinched a bamboo stick, her eyes widened, and said:

"Do I agree with you to have a feast in my house?"

"Okay, the banquet, great!"

Her sister Flandoro sat next to her, clapping her hands and shouting, in the exact opposite of her, and in a volume that overpowered her.

"Are you really my own sister, Fran?" Remilia glared at Fran, but heard Nalan on the other side say:

"Yes, I'll show you a unique skill when the time comes. ”

"Nalan Twilight?"

Remilia immediately turned her head and elbowed Nalan Twilight in the stomach. At this time, Sakiya spoke:

"I can give you a hand if you need to. ”

"Sakiya?" Remilia pointed to herself, shouting, "Your master is me, it's me!"

"I'll leave the room to me," Patchouli, who had been drinking without saying a word, then spoke, "It's much more convenient to use magic to clean up the house than to do it manually." ”

"Why can't even Patchy ......?"

Looking around, Remilia found that there was no one who stood on the same front as her, so she simply pouted and played tricks.

"No!" she slapped the table and said loudly, "I'm the boss here, I said no, I just can't!"

"Okay, let's vote then. Nalan Yu raised his hand and said, "If you agree to hold a banquet in the Red Devil Pavilion tomorrow, please raise your hand!"

Sure enough, everyone raised their hands in unison, and Remilia was the only one left, sitting there in a daze, like an angry bag, unable to say a word, embarrassing the world.

"Then it's settled, Marisa!" Reimu shouted.

"Yes!"

"You're in charge of sending invitations and calling people, and before nightfall tomorrow, be sure to give me a whole room of guests back, understand?"

"Wrap it up on me!"

"You ...... You ......," said Remilia, trembling as if she were about to cry, "you bully!"

However, the person who wants to coax her doesn't seem to exist.

"My sister is five hundred years old, why do she still look like a child?"

"I think the eldest lady, as the head of the family, lacks some majesty. ”

"Isn't that any different from five hundred years ago, Remy?"

"Actually, there are still some things, such as the heart and eyes have become smaller. ”

In the face of the collective complaints of her own family, Remilia raised her head to the sky and howled, "It's too much", and then transformed into a big bat and flew back to her room with a puff of smoke.

The next morning, preparations for the banquet began in full swing. Marisa runs out to pull people around, Nalan Twilight and Saki do the kitchen cooking, Pache sets up the venue, and a gang of goblins do chores for her.

For the rest, Fran is messing around, Misuzu is sleeping at the door, Reimu is drinking tea and reading novels, and Remilia is squatting alone in the room sulking...... At least they're not idle, are they?

The gang worked almost until dark, and when the room was set up, the meals were almost done, and the guests came one after another. Nalan Yu put down the work in his hand, went back to the room and changed into a black suit and red tie, combed his little hair, dressed like a dog, and stood at the door of the banquet hall and started the reception.

The first to arrive was Yuyuko from Saigyoji Temple and her half-human, half-spirit little follower, it's hard to imagine that Marisa would run to the underworld to deliver the invitation, but even if she didn't invite, the princess of the underworld would come by herself!

After all, it is the people of the rivers and lakes who must go to the Yuyuko at every banquet, the wind and clouds, and the planet devourer!

"Ah, this isn't Nalan Twilight!"

This beautiful big sister with pink hair, a blue kimono, and as soft as a marshmallow, greeted Nalan Twilight with a smile:

"It's been a long time, haven't you seen it for three hundred years?"

"Almost, right?" Nalan said as he looked at her with a smile on his face, "But to be honest, I'm not surprised at all to see you. ”

"Let's get each other," Yuyuko smiled and nodded, "After the Great Barrier was established, I always had the feeling that 'maybe I'll see that boy in Gensokyo one day.'" ”

"I'm not a teenager anymore, Sister Ghost. ”

"Eh, isn't it?" Yuyuko asked, tilting her neck and stupidly, "Aren't you quite young!"

"Purple looks quite young, is she a girl?"

"Well, it seems that this is indeed the case!"

"Speaking of which, this is ......"

Nalan Twilight looked at the girl beside Yuyuko. This girl is a head shorter than Yuyuko, and has four major characteristics on her body: a blue-eyed silver-haired sister's head, a slightly baby fat small round face, a flat breast, and a floating half-spirit. She was wearing a women's white shirt, a blue suspender skirt, a black hairband tied around her head, and two katanas, one long and one short, on her back.

In fact, she is really a bodyguard.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably the granddaughter of the Soul Demon Jealousy, the Soul Demon Dream, right?" asked Nalan Twilight.

"Yes, Mr. Nalan!" Soul Demon Dream bowed solemnly and said, "I have often heard my grandfather and Yuyuko-sama mention your name, and it is an honor to meet you today!"

"That's it, there's no need to be so formal. Nalan said, "Your grandfather used to only treat me as a bad friend who annoyed people, and you can inherit this relationship." ”

"Don't you dare! Whether it's in terms of seniority or strength, I have to respect you for three points!"

"Hey, you're a person...... Nalan shook his head with a wry smile, "Forget it, anyway, everyone is here to eat, drink and have fun, please inside, please! Today's dishes are quite sumptuous, try not to burst your belly." ”

"Did you cook a lot of delicious food again?" asked Yuyuko, sneering.

"That's quite a lot!"

"Great! I haven't eaten your food in a long time. ”

"Today you can let go of eating and don't be afraid of not being enough. ”

As he spoke, Nalan Yu gave a thumbs up, pointed at himself, and boasted proudly:

"My cooking skills today are nothing compared to 300 years ago. If you don't have enough to eat tonight, you come to me, okay?"

"Hehe, it's a deal!"

After Yuyuko and the others were seated, a large group of people came outside, and after a closer look, they all came from among the people: Honju Kosuzu, Barnyard Aqiu, Baili Bailing, Fujii Kazuhiko;

"Hello, Mr. Nalan Huiyin!" Huiyin stood still at the door and bowed slightly to Nalan Huiyin, "I'm Shangbai Ze Huiyin, who teaches in the temple house, this one ......"

As she spoke, she pulled over Mei Hong, who was standing aside with her pocket and looking around, and introduced:

"This one is Fujiwara Meihong, who lives in the Lost Bamboo Forest. ”

"You...... Hello?"

Mei Hong lowered her head and spoke very quietly, as if she was afraid of life.

"Nalan Twilight, a vampire from this world, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Nalan Yu smiled and stretched out her hand to Mei Hong. Mei Hong hesitated for a moment, then blushed and held his hand, shook it twice and let go, which can be regarded as a handshake.

"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you. Nalan Hao smiled and teased Mei Hong, glanced at the little men in the back row, and said:

"As for you, I remember it as Suzu Honju, who sells books, Aqiu Atsuda, who is a rich man, and Kazuhiko Fujii, a bear child. ”

"It's not selling, it's renting books!"

"It's not a rich family, don't talk like a rich second generation!"

"I'm not a bear child!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Listening to the complaints of the three children, Nalan said with a snort, "I don't remember very clearly. ”

"Do you know these kids?" said Huiyin, a little surprised.

"Do you remember that some time ago, this eldest lady of the barnyard field family disappeared for a whole day?"

"Yes, it is. ”

"Actually, she led her best friend Suzu and sneaked into the Enchanted Forest, only to run into zombies, and if I hadn't happened to pass by, there would have been no of them. By the way, Kazuhiko Fujii, a bear child, is similar, but his death is even greater. ”

"Thank you so much!" Huiyin said, bowing deeply again.

"No need to be polite, this one is ......"

Nalan Twilight looked at the quiet white-haired young man standing on the far right, waiting for the other party to introduce himself.

"Baili Bai Ling, an ordinary onmyoji. The young man bowed his head slightly and said, "Your deeds have spread all over the world, and the people in the village are very grateful to you, and Xiaosheng is the same." ”

"Where, where!" Nalan waved his hand and denied it repeatedly, "The mutation can be solved, it's all the credit of Reimeng, I'm just a meat shield, where is it worthy!"

"Please don't be too humble, your credit is still very great. ”

"Hey, please please!"

Nalan Yu couldn't help but praise him, and hurriedly invited this group of people in.

Next to appear is Yayi Yonglin from the Eternal Pavilion, and her two rabbit followers, Emperor and Lingxian, are next to her. The emperor shrank behind Yonglin and didn't dare to come out to see Nalan Twilight, while Reizen walked ahead, pushing a wheelchair with a mummy-like man covered in bandages sitting on it. The guy was tightly wrapped, with only a pair of resentful little eyes exposed, and from time to time he glanced twice in the direction where Nalan Twilight was, and Nalan Twilight always smiled back.

He knew it was Shotimaru Wen, don't ask why, he just knew.

"Hey, Doctor Bayi," Nalan greeted him generously, "I didn't expect you to be here too!"

"What, you're not welcome?"

"Not really, I just don't think you're the kind of party type. ”

"Hehe," Yonglin smiled, "I really wasn't in the past, but after staying in Gensokyo for a long time, even Jizo Bodhisattva will become lively." ”

"By the way," she added, "after a while, you will come to the Eternal Pavilion, and then my rabbit will come and call you." ”

"Excuse me," Nalan asked, "what are you looking for me this time?"

"I've got some 'good stuff' that you should check it out. Yonglin smiled a little mysteriously, "When you see her with your own eyes, you will be surprised." ”

"Really? I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Before you go, leave a little blood in the Red Devil Pavilion, and when you see that the situation is not good, you will immediately teleport back, and then strengthen the wall and wait for it. Although he verbally agreed to the other party's invitation, Nalan Hao had another set of countermeasures hidden in his heart.

All in all, after a short greeting, the Forever Pavilion group took their seats. After them, Rinnosuke Mori came with his reading monsters, the elegant and arrogant Yuka Kazami and Rigoru who cowered in the midst of a group of big people, the trio of White Wolf Tengu, Double Ponytail Tengu and Big Backpack Kappa from Yokai Mountain, Reimu, Flandrew, Pacio, Red Misuzu, and Sixteen Saya who had just finished their last course at the Red Devil Pavilion, and finally Marisa who returned with Alice, this time she walked through the main entrance.

After all, her magic broom broke during the last invasion of the Red Devil Pavilion, and she still hasn't found a replacement.

Just as all the invited guests were seated, the fairy maid served dishes after plates, and the banquet was about to begin, a large number of strange-shaped creatures poured into the banquet hall.

It was led by the Ice Fairies who lived on the nearby Lake of Mist, a large group of small monsters, what night sparrows, big goblins, dark goblins, and three goblins of light. When Nalan Twilight went out for a walk on weekdays, he had seen them a few times, so when this barefoot little girl walked in like a big boss, leading her little brothers, with her chest up and swaggering, he stopped her:

"Eh, wait a minute!"

"What?"

The ice fairy Qiluno stood in front of him with his waist crossed, raised his thick eyebrows, and looked up into his eyes. Nalan Twilight didn't know what to tell her, so she turned her head and shouted to Marisa, who was sitting in the back seat:

"Marisa, you called these people?"

"Not really!" Marisa replied vaguely, shaking her head as she stuffed food into her mouth.

"I heard that there was food here, so I brought my friends to eat it!" said Kiruno, "won't you give it?"

"How can you not give it!"

After that, Nalan Yu dragged out a mahogany baby chair that was much higher than an ordinary chair from the corner of the restaurant, put it in front of the long table, saluted, and said:

"Come, please take a seat!"

"Oh, that's good!"

Qi Luno sat down in the baby chair, and found that she was much taller than the others, and she was very happy for a while.

By the way, the friends who traveled with her sat on ordinary seats.

At this point, all the people who should have come have come, and those who shouldn't have come have also come. It's almost time for the party to begin......

"Ahem!"

No, there is another person, a very key person, who did not arrive.

This deliberate cough caught everyone's attention, and people focused their eyes on the entrance of the restaurant. There Remilia stood, dressed in an elegant and noble evening dress like black roses, with a pair of black silk lace gloves on her arms, an amethyst necklace around her neck, two small studs on her ears, her hair tied up, heavy makeup, and dressed like a young queen.

She was wearing a pair of high heels that she never wore on weekdays, and between her elegant steps, there was a mature atmosphere that was not like her at all. Compared to her wild girl-like sister, she really doesn't know how tall she is.

"Nalan Twilight," she walked toward the head of the table as she entered, "where is my seat?"

"Please!"

Nalan stood up with a smile and pulled her chair to help her take her seat, and she sat back in the second seat next to her.

In the silence, Remilia straightened her back and announced with a serious face:

"I, heir to the ancient bloodline, head of House Scarlet, master of the Red Devil Pavilion, and crimson demon, Remilia Scarlett hereby declares...... Banquet is ......"

Halfway through her words, she covered her mouth and said nothing. She frowned, tears rolling in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged. Everyone present was puzzled, but Nalan Hui smiled and leaned forward and asked:

"Miss, did you bite your tongue?"

"Hmmm......"

The audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha......"

And just like that, the dinner began with the laughter of the people and the monsters.

"No, no, that time doesn't count! Let me say it again, bastard! Laugh and you'll all be gone!"

Remilia blushed, stomping her feet and protesting loudly, but no one seemed to pay attention to her......
