"When I was dragged down by that guy, I broke my feet and recuperated for a month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Youji narrated the end of the story while putting the raw steamed bun slices into the boiling oil pot, "Later, when I went to the shrine to eat, I was beaten by Nalan Twilight on the grounds of 'lying down for so long to help you move your muscles and bones', hehe...... That's all for later. ”

Speaking of this, a heartfelt smile bloomed on Youji's wrinkled old face, as if he had reunited with his old friend.

The white steamed bun slices sizzled in the boiling oil, and Youji turned them over one by one with long chopsticks, turning the fried golden side to the top, which looked very gratifying.

"Gollum"

Shooting Pill Wen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took his gaze away from the oil pot, and asked again:

"So, what about later?"

"Later, ah......" Youji paused, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, "The old man has always lived in the underworld, and he doesn't know much about the things below. It is said that something happened to the shrine, the shrine maiden also died, the shrine was gone, and the vampire did not know where to run. ”

"Is this the end?"

"For people other than Nalan Twilight, this is probably the end!"

"Well...... Wen shrugged his shoulders, "Since ancient times, the relationship between demons has been fruitless, and such an ending is also a matter of course!"

"That's right," the demon shook his head in affirmation, "but the old man misses that time quite a lot." ”

"Is this what youth is called?"

"Youth...... Hehe......"

Youji turned off the fire on the gas stove and turned around:

"The steamed buns are fried, go get me a plate. ”

"Give!"

As if he had expected this moment, before the words of the jealous man fell, Wen handed out the saucer.

"It's a shame that you've been able to endure it for so long!" said Youji as he took the plate and smiled.

"Hehe," Wen scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Actually, I've been hungry for a long time, and I have been able to survive until now, all thanks to my firm will and professional habits." ”

"Then hold on a little longer, and breakfast will be served immediately!"

"Great, old man, I'll write a news article complimenting you when I get back!"

"I can't afford that!"

Youji walked to the other end of the kitchen, unplugged the rice cooker, and opened the pot to see that the porridge was cooked just right.

"The sea—so blue—so much water—"

Marisa stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, shouting loudly.

The three girls who accidentally ran out of the Great Enchantment were crossing the sea by boat at this time.

Of course, there's a reason why they're at sea now.

Last night, the tanuki monster named Eryan Yuzo mysteriously claimed that he would use the "tanuki method" to send them to the land of tanuki and cross. Upon hearing this, Reimu thought that she was going to cast some kind of spell to reveal the hidden illusion in front of their eyes.

As a result, the guy got into a kind of shikigami called "car" and drove the three of them to the beach.

"What 'tanuki has its own way', isn't this still with the help of human creations!" Ling Meng wanted to complain so loudly, but since this very strange-looking "car" was much more comfortable to sit on than the donkey cart in the village, she didn't care about it.

On the road, she spent all her time analyzing the two pairs of shiny objects on the front and rear of the car, which pair were the eyes of the "car". By the way, Marisa was excited all the way, and anything new outside the car window could make her happy for a long time.

The three of them sat in the monster's car all night in a daze, or in high spirits, or quietly. When the sun was gradually rising, and their bladders and buttocks were almost unable to hold on, they finally saw the waves red by the morning sun on the distant horizon.

It was the first time they had seen the sea with their own eyes.

Anyway, after arriving at the dock, they boarded the private yacht of Eryan Zang. Yes, a private yacht, large, three storeys, with a restaurant, bathroom, bar and other supporting facilities, and a beautiful observation deck at the bow.

Even the three people who had only seen the small wooden boat in the river knew that this boat was not a bargain. When Reimu asked Eryan Yuzo, "Hey the raccoon, did you buy this boat?", the other party replied:

"Call me Captain Eryan!"

Well, that's her first sentence, and the second sentence is the real answer:

"Yes, I bought it, I didn't pay a penny on credit, and I paid it all in one lump sum. Are you thinking, 'Where did this monster get the money?' Hehe, to tell you the truth, the old man runs some small businesses in his hometown, and the income is quite considerable. ”

Hearing this, Reimu began to seriously consider whether it was time to befriend this wealthy youkai and ask her for a small amount of money, or whether it was time to get rid of her and take away her property.

These careful thoughts are all Reimu's own business. Marisa, on the other hand, had eaten breakfast, touched all the things on the boat that aroused her curiosity, and then walked a few things casually, and then stood at the bow of the boat, shouting. Alice, on the other hand, stayed in the cabin and couldn't come out.

"Give me a stop!"

Reimu slammed a knife into Marisa's head, and the latter hurriedly turned around with the back of her head in her hands.

"What are you doing, Reimu, did I provoke you?" she grumbled.

"No, I'm just upset, knock you twice to relieve boredom. ”

As soon as Marisa heard this, she immediately became angry, gritted her teeth and shouted:

"You violent maniac that no one wants!"

"Huh, no one wants it?"

Reimu's eyes widened, more shocked than angry.

"Alright, you two!"

At this moment the door of the cabin opened, and Alice came out of it, and persuaded the two men who were in tension:

"I haven't closed my eyes all night, even if I don't lie down and squint, at least I should sit and rest for a while, right?

"Alice!"

Marisa rushed forward, grabbed Alice by the arm, pulled her to the bow of the boat, and then pointed with her other hand to the blue that met the sky in front of her, and said:

"Tell me, Alice, what do you see when you look in this direction?"

"Uh...... The sea?"

"What do you mean, 'uh...... 'Ah!'" Marisa exclaimed excitedly, "This is the sea, it's the sea!"

"So what?"

"It's all at sea, how can you tell me to sit still!"

She let go of Alice's hand, took a few more steps, raised her right foot and stepped on the iron railing at the bow of the boat, and then threw her arm to her knee, pretending to be a cowboy, and said without looking back:

"Listen up, Alice. Riding the wind and waves and sailing the ocean is the most romantic thing in the world. I didn't have a choice before, but now, I want to be a pirate. ”

"You're going to be a thief wherever you go, aren't you......" Reimu whispered.

Alice, on the other side, nodded as if she didn't understand, and said expressionlessly:

"Hmm...... Well...... It's good if you're happy. ”

"So, why are you two so calm when you see the sea, this is the sea!

"Absolutely not!" Reimu replied immediately.

"It's not that it's calm, it's just ...... This sea is not too different from what I imagined......"

Alice walked over to the railing and poked her head out, gazing at the water beneath the boat, and her own shadow swaying with the undulation of the waves. The soft sea breeze brushed her cheeks, a slightly moist touch, completely different from the autumn breeze in the mountains.

"The sea...... a faint smile appeared on her face, "It's actually pretty good!"

"It's not 'pretty good,' it's pretty good!" Marisa leaned over to her, "Look at that seabird over there!"

"What seabirds, can you eat them?"

"Don't squeeze in, Reimu!"
