Marisa collapses to the ground in a large shape, and her magic broom rolls to the side. Her mouth was wide open, and her heavy breath went in and out, panting like a stupid goldfish. Alice was on one knee beside her, her ass resting on her heels. This guy had a pink on her cheeks, she gasped for breath, and from time to time she touched the sweat-soaked hair, which can be said to be very reserved.

The air was filled with the smell of the girls' sweat, warm, sweet, and inviting, and in this great winter, it was as hot as a burning stove. However, Catherine Pagos, who stood not far away and had not moved a single step, could not feel anything.

She seemed to have won her own ability, her brain was blank, her thinking ability, action ability, and physical strength were gone. Although, she really didn't suffer any harm, except for the fact that the symbolism was greater than the actual meaning. She just, on a psychological level, recognized her failure.

The loser is the general winner, and the winner is the general loser.

Catherine's eyes were blank, staring blankly into the distance, and in a trance, she heard Marisa say:

"I admit it, you are very strong, ridiculously strong, even if I don't suffer this injury, it will be more than lucky to be against you, right?"

When she said this, Alice next to her couldn't help but give her a blank look. Marisa just smiled, cheeky, and continued:

"But that doesn't mean it's impossible to beat you. At the very least, I was able to create a good enough opportunity for myself with the conditions set in advance. ”

"The first few bottles, and the first shot, may seem like a pointless temptation to you, but to me they have a very crucial role. ”

"Heat. ”

"Huh?"

Catherine's eyes regained their brilliance, and she looked down at Marisa, who had a smug face. The guy had sat up, holding her mini gossip stove in her hand, and had made a small flame out of it.

"That's all I can do with this last bit of magic. Marisa smiled and said, "The steam will open the lid of the pot, and the boiling milk will overflow the pot, and the heat will expand and shrink, it can't be simpler." ”

"The full-power Bagua Furnace and the magic cannon that fires out are enough to turn this entire area into a human purgatory with a temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius. I know very well that when you erase the magic cannon, you will also erase the 'heat' it releases, after all, high temperatures can also cause you damage. ”

"But just because you can erase it doesn't mean it never existed. As long as my side of the launch is successful, the 'impact' has already been generated. ”

"What happens if the air in this vicinity is heated to hundreds, or even thousands of degrees Celsius, in a short period of time, and then forced to lower to normal temperature in an instant?"

"The answer is, it will be windy. ”

Marisa said, holding out her index finger and sucking it in her mouth, then standing it in front of her. The cold touch confirmed everything she said.

"I really don't need to knock you into the air myself. Marisa continued, "I just need to come to you, and I'll be able to do that." Because of that weird ability of yours, if I'm not mistaken, it's the type that gets closer to you and the stronger the effect, right?"

"Nice insight," Catherine nodded, "you're right. ”

"Well, just by looking at the marks on the ground, it's already obvious. ”

Marisa pointed to the ground at Catherine's feet and said:

"You see, the bricks under your feet have begun to crack and disintegrate, and the tiles that are a little farther away from you have only lost the frost on the surface, and the frost that is attached to the ground has not been eliminated even farther away. ”

"And, in addition to the 'range' limitations, you need a certain amount of 'time' to gradually erase all the energy. Although, it was only a short time, and when the energy itself was not strong enough, it looked like it was done in an instant, am I right?"

"Exactly. Catherine admitted all this very calmly, and then added:

"You're convinced of this before you dare to rush directly in front of me, right?"

"No," Marisa shook her head, "until it's finally confirmed, everything is 'speculation', and everything that is based on speculation is 'gambling'." Even if the win rate is 99.99%, that 1 in 10,000 probability is still enough to make me doom. ”

"Every time, I made a bet with the idea that I would be a good man in 20 years. I have done a good job of 'enlightenment', and this 'enlightenment' has brought me to you. ”

"After that," Marisa continued, "as you said, 'I can even lose gravity.'" I know you're going to do that, because you want me to float in front of you and take the opportunity to appreciate the misery of my daring defeated dog. You are an arrogant person, although you are polite, but your words and deeds can't hide the arrogance in your bones. And arrogant people, one day, will have to pay the price for their arrogance, either today or tomorrow. ”

"To be honest, you can clean all the 'power' in my body, which is really a great favor for me. That way, even the faintest wind can push me. The last few tens of centimeters of distance, really, don't require too much force. ”

"The difference between me and you, Catherine, is that you can solve everything on your own, and I must use everything I can use. The right time, the right place, and even the unpredictable fate, as long as it can be on my side, it is my reliable help. You didn't lose to Marisa Kiriyu, but you still lost to me. ”

"Slap", "Slap", "Slap!"

Catherine clapped her hands three times in a row, loud and crisp.

"Beautiful. "I can't think of any other adjective to describe you." ”

"That's a real prize. ”

Marisa pressed the brim of her hat down to hide her flushed face of shame - this guy didn't seem to be a good person to deal with compliments.

"Exceptional insight, amazing daring, and incredible 'luck', I was curious if ......"

"Stop, stop!"

Before the embarrassment erupted, Marisa hurriedly interrupted Catherine, who immediately coughed dryly twice and forcibly reversed the subject:

"If you have that kung fu to praise me, why don't you stop this snow first?"

"Snow?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky, and then showed a short, fleeting smile, and said to Marisa:

"That's why you're here?"

"I can see that you guy, quite stubborn, tendony, is a person who has to smash the wall with his head when he hits the wall. So, even if I tell you that this 'mutation' has nothing to do with me, you can't believe it, right? No, it's because you don't believe that you and I will fight this fight. ”

"Then I'll do what you want!" said Catherine, spreading out her hands, and picking up the snowflakes that were falling leisurely with her palms:

"I assure you that this snow will soon stop, though it has nothing to do with you and me from beginning to end. ”

"That's what you said!" Marisa said as she stood up on her back, half-incredulously.

"I mean, you're going to be the talker!"

"Swear by my name. Catherine pressed her right hand on her left chest, bent down slightly, bowed, and said.

"So, the mutation is solved!"

A relaxed smile bloomed on Marisa's face, and she stretched out and "rattle" her overworn muscles.

"Next, we should ......"

"Gollum Gurr......"

This sudden, thunderous noise made the three people present freeze all of a sudden. Is it a god, or is it a ghost? or is it a ......

"Sorry, hey, hey, hey......"

Marisa smiled a little embarrassedly, grabbed the back of her head with one hand, and covered her stomach with the other, and said:

"Actually, it's ...... me"

"You......"

Alice frowned and stood up. At such times, she would have the illusion that she was mixing with a sloppy rough man...... No, in a sense it's not a delusion, it's true.

"Hehehe......"

Catherine covered her mouth, laughed softly, and said:

"If you don't mind, why don't you come and sit down at the Red Devil Pavilion? ”

"If you don't say I'll go in and sit down, okay?" Marisa exclaimed, grinning.

"Ah, a word of caution, even if you defeat me, it's not okay to steal things from the Red Devil Pavilion!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't steal, I'll take a little. ”

"You can't take it!"

"Then borrow!"

"You can't borrow it!"

"Then buy it, buy the head office, but I ask for installment payment......"

Since that day, a new term has been born in Gensokyo, "Marisa Buy". It refers to the hooligan credit behavior of 0 down payment and paying off in a lifetime.
