It's the white season again, and the top and bottom of Hakurei Shrine are covered in snow, and December is ushered in in the snowflakes fluttering in the sky.

See, the year is coming to an end.

"Hmm...... I'll take a look at ......"

Wearing the precious coat she had picked up from the present world, half buried in the kotatsu, with a small notebook and pencil in her hands, Reimu Hakurei was seriously summarizing her work as a shrine maiden for the whole year. Chilled citrus and steaming tea were on the small table in front of her, for her and the uninvited guests at the same table.

There is a small charcoal stove with a three-legged round bottom next to the kotatsu, and thanks to it, the shrine is as warm as spring. It was supposed to be used to bake rice cakes or squid whiskers, but now there are no rice cakes, only oranges.

"January. She muttered as she took a brief note, "Not long after I took over the class of the first generation of shrine maidens, nothing major happened. The family ran out of rice, and Marisa stole a box of snacks. ”

"It's not stealing, it's borrowing!" corrected Marisa, who was sitting next to her, "I'll pay it back someday!"

"Yes, yes, Marisa borrowed!"

Reimu responded with a look of disdain, and slapped Marisa's hand away from Citrus.

"Stingy ghost dream!"

Marisa pouted, grumbling, and reached back into the kotatsu.

"February," Reimu continued, "the empty rice bucket was infested with insects, and Marisa stole the long-lost sesame oil money. ”

"In March, when the snow melted and the rice bucket was retreated, Marisa stole the books she had borrowed from Korindo. ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Hearing this, Marisa was a little upset and said in a fork:

"Why is it always me?"

"I also want to know why it's always you!" Reimu looked up and roared in despair:

"I'm already too poor to afford rice, and I have to be eaten and drunk by you for three days, am I owed you a blood debt in my last life or what?"

"Uh...... Well...... this."

When Reimu said this, Marisa was speechless. She pinched her chin and thought about it for a long time, and she didn't know how to explain, so she simply slapped her head, stuck out her tongue, and posed a V-shaped hand, "Hey" and sold a cute.

"Hey, hey, hey, throw something and chop your hands, chop your hands!"

Reimu glared at Marisa viciously, so that she shrank her head and didn't dare to speak. The fierce gaze only lasted for a few seconds, after which Reimu lowered her head again and continued to use her pen.

"In April, I went to the flower market in Renli, but I didn't have the money to buy flowers, so I retreated from the noisy Lilybeth. ”

"In May, a strange six-pointed star magic array was found in the cave in the mountain behind the shrine, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time and had no way to activate it. To be on the safe side, the cave was sealed. ”

"In June, the Ice Fairy, who came to cool off, and the Three Fairies of Light, who escaped quickly, and a firefly monster who looked honest, were also retired. ”

"In July, when the weather became hot and the lotus flowers were in full bloom, the owner of the Sun Flower Field ran over for a cup of tea, and when he was about to treat it, he disappeared, which is really inexplicable. ”

"I said......" Marisa interjected with a "pause" gesture:

"Do you have a third state other than 'retiring' and 'preparing to retired'?"

"And 'the retreat is complete'. Reimu said without looking up.

"In August, there was a sudden red fog in the sky, so that the clothes could not be dried, so the Red Devil Pavilion who made the red fog was retired. ”

"It's because the clothes can't be dried!" Remilia Scarlet, who was sitting across from Reimu, put down the orange in her hand and exclaimed with a look of incredulity:

"That's why I demolished half of my house!"

"Yes, that's it, do you have an opinion?" Reimu raised his head and said coldly, "I, Boli Reimu, just want to live a peaceful and stable life. Anyone who disturbs my life, must die. ”

With that, she grabbed the pen again:

"In September, I retired from the bear child who had a brain problem in the Red Devil Pavilion. ”

"In October, he retired from the vampire Nalan Twilight ...... who broke the Great Enchantment"

"Ahem......" Nalan Yu on the side coughed dryly and said:

"I'm sitting here with dignity, Reimu. ”

"Really?" Reimu turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow, "Does that require me to beat you into a state where you aren't 'good' at all?"

"No, please continue. ”

"In mid-to-late October, I investigated the murder of a youkai, and was tricked out of Gensokyo by Radu III, and later retired a vampire ...... on Sado Island."

As he wrote this, he saw Marisa slam the table and exclaim excitedly:

"That, I remember, that's when my detective Marisa showed off her skills!

Reimu didn't even pay attention to her, but continued to remember to herself:

"After returning to Gensokyo, he retired many zombies, as well as Radu III, the mastermind of the mutation of the living dead. The shrine was destroyed by the Shotimaru and was so annoyed that he broke his whole body. ”

"To correct it, I was the last to take the head of Radu III. Nalan interjected.

"After the mutation ended, I attended a banquet held at the Red Devil Pavilion, and Marisa's wine was very poor. ”

"Hey!" Marisa blushed, "I can let it go!"

"I think you're stupid. ”

Reimu said this, turning the page and continuing to remember the events of the next month.

"In November, the weather turned cooler, and I stayed at the Red Devil Pavilion. ”

"Ahh

At this point, Remilia suddenly sighed and fell on the table. She dragged a long tail note and mourned:

"Those days were really unbearable—"

To this day, she still remembers the horror of being once dominated by a shrine maiden, and the shame of losing the majesty of the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion.

"In mid-November, Kazuhiko Fujii, who had become a vampire, was retired. ”

Hearing this, Nalan Twilight's expression suddenly became a little ...... Complex. But he quickly adjusted, stretched his brows, and regained his relaxed, slightly smiling expression.

"In the second half of the year, I went out to travel, became a rich man for a few days, and defeated the stupid Feng Zhu who came up to stir up trouble, and was cheated out of all my money by the 'stinky civet cat' before I went home......"

"Quack!"

With a crisp sound, the tip of the pencil broke under the great force. Reimu put down his pen, and his face was already iron-blue.

"Ahh............h

"Sharpen it, I think, you want to stab Eryan to death with a knife!" Nalan Hao teased with a smile.

"A knife?" Reimu raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said fiercely:

"One knife is not enough, a thousand dollars...... No, 10,000 dollars is about the same. ”

An almost visible evil aura emanated from Reimeng's body, and when Nalan saw her state, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He stretched out his hand, glanced at the designer watch he had just redeemed from the pawnshop, and said:

"Oh, that's it! Remilia ......"

As he spoke, he took Remilia's arm and the two of them stood up together.

"Then let's go back first, you guys talk slowly!"

With that, he turned and walked towards the door. At this moment, a rapid "dong dong" sound sounded from behind him, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Marisa, who crawled out of the kotatsu and ran over with his legs.

"I'm also leaving! Xianglin is eating hot pot today, I have to hurry over, otherwise I won't be able to eat!"

She overtook Nalan Twilight, got to the door first, put on her black leather shoes, put on her hat, picked up her broom, and reached the doorknob with one arm.

Unexpectedly, before her hand could reach the doorknob, the sliding wooden door opened by itself. A chill rushed in, causing Marisa to shiver and look down and sneeze.

"Ahh

"Ahh

This familiar voice, this familiar mouth fetish. Marisa rubbed her nose and looked up to see that standing in front of her was indeed a journalist who had been hospitalized due to injuries some time ago.

"Miss me, guys?"

Wenwen propped up the door frame with one hand, leaned over, crossed her legs, and put on a chic pose, coupled with her "charming" smile, she was like a cowboy returning from injury, but ......

"No, get out!"

"Ahh

"Wow-"

As soon as Reimu, who was angry, saw the murderer who destroyed the shrine, it was like a cat seeing a mouse, and when he raised his hand, it was an oversized yin-yang jade, and the two of them flew out together with Marisa, who shot the life pill, and Marisa in front of her. The two men flew in the air for a while, spun around, and then one by one, they planted the onions upside down, and plunged headfirst into the thick snow.

"Hehe......"

Nalan Twilight stood at the door, looking at the stupid appearance of the two of them desperately pulling their heads out with their hands on the ground, and smiled a little unkindly. As for Remilia, she was already laughing, completely ignoring any majesty and image.

In this regard, she and her sister really came out of the same womb.

"Hey, Nalan Twilight!"

At this time, Nalan Twilight heard Reimu's shout, so he turned around and asked:

"What's wrong, Reimu?"

"Also...... It's nothing, that is...... That, that!"

Reimu looked at him, and for some reason, his face turned red. She was stumbling there, and she couldn't say a word clearly for a long time, so she was a little confused, but she was anxious for her, so she tilted her head and asked:

"'That' means...... What?"

"That's it, the newcomer has caused a change in Gensokyo, which means that!

Nalan looked at her like that, frowned and pondered for a while, then clapped his hands and suddenly said:

"Oh-I see! You're in love with me, aren't you?"

As he spoke, he pretended to brush his hair, and said very narcissistically:

"It's a pity, Reimu, you're as handsome as me, you can't catch up, give up!"

"Huh?"

Hearing him say this, Reimu's mouth grew at first, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Then, she blushed, angry and funny, grabbed the orange peel on the table and threw it at Nalan Twilight's face.

"Why don't you die, Nalan Twilight!" she yelled.

"If being handsome is a sin......"

Nalan caught the orange peel, put it between his fingers with a gesture like a cigarette stick, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, then squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and sighed meaningfully:

"Then I'm probably going to be sentenced to death!"

"Poof, hahahaha......"

As soon as he said this, not to mention Remilia, who was holding back her laughter and internal injuries, even he couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. When the reimu on the other side saw this scene, he wanted to be angry with him, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to shake his head helplessly.

"Seriously!" Nalan Yu finished laughing, forced back a serious face, and asked, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?

"That is...... Hey, do you have to make it clear?"

Reimu frowned, his facial muscles twitching as if he had a stroke. She got out of the futatsu, stood up, straightened her back, took a deep breath, and was about to perform the lion's roar. At this moment, a powerful snowball suddenly flew from the snow outside, hitting the back of Nalan Yu's head impartially, and smashed him to the ground.

"Right in the heart, Ravenclaw plus ten!"

Shooting Maruwen stuck his feet in the knee-deep snow and posed as "drawing a bow and shooting arrows". The crimson scarf around her neck danced in the bitter cold wind like a small red flag representing victory.

"SNOWBALL VS. DAAAZEEEEEEE!"

Marisa, who was a little farther away, barked and yelled like a happy puppy. She holds a snowball in one hand, and behind her is a pyramid-shaped snowball pile nearly a man tall. I really don't know what kind of magic she used to make so many snowballs in such a short period of time.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "professionalism", right?

"Okay, play with me, right?"

Seeing the triumphant appearance of the two of them, Nalan Yu also became energetic, and rushed out of the shrine with a wicked smile on his face and jumped into the snow. Remilia followed him closely behind, excitedly pulling out her weapon, the Sharpshooter Gungnir, and shoveling snow.

"him, Remy, kill him without a piece of armor!"

"Oh-"

"Genre: The East is undefeated!"

"Wind of Kings!"

"New series!"

"Heaven breaks...... Chivalrous!"

"Look at the move, the snow dyes the east and is white!"

Dressed in a warm coat, Reimu slowly walked to the door, leaned on the door frame, and watched the little girls and old children outside fight hotly, "poof" and laughed.

"Welcome to Gensokyo...... Stupid!" she whispered.

The cold wind blew and took away this belated greeting. It seems that the white season will continue until the warm spring arrives when the cherry blossoms are scattered and the butterflies are flying.

(Part 1, End!)
