The interview lasted until dusk. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The setting sun shines through the paper window, dyeing the whole room orange and red—a sign that the crows are homecoming. Seimimaru closed the notebook full of letters, walked to the door, and put on his pair of exaggerated one-toothed geta.

"Then the two of you, it's not too early, I'll go back and prepare tomorrow's newspaper!" she waved goodbye to the two, "Please be sure to support Wenwen News!"

After speaking, she pushed the door open, spread her wings, rode the wind, and disappeared into the sunset in the blink of an eye.

"Stop throwing newspapers at my house!" Reimu shouted in the direction that Wen Fei had gone.

The paper bombs that fall from the sky every morning have already smashed several windows, and she can't bear to continue like this.

Her voice faded into the autumn wind, without stirring up a single echo, and the shrine fell silent again.

Now, there are only two people left in the room, Nalan Twilight and Reimu.

The two sat motionless in front of the coffee table, staring down at the teacup in front of them, each with their own thoughts, silent, and never even had the intersection of their eyes. The soft light of the setting sun sprinkled on their bodies, and time seemed to freeze.

It was Hakurei Reimu who broke the silence.

"If you don't have a place to go," she said, looking up at Nalan Twilight, "you can stay at Hakurei Shrine for the time being." ”

The reason for this invitation is not because of how kind Reimu is, but because Nalan Twilight is a time bomb that can cause trouble at any time. Instead of letting him run around, it is better to keep him by his side and keep a strict watch.

"But you have to do some of the housework. She added.

If you don't work, you can't eat, this is the teaching of the previous generations of shrine maidens.

Nalan Twilight looked at her with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Are you inviting a strange man to stay at your house for the night?"

"How can I have!" Reimu stood up excitedly and said loudly, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, get out of here!"

Instead of accepting her kindness, he deliberately embarrassed her, what a bad vampire!

The dim sunlight shone on her young face, and it was impossible to tell whether her face was red from congestion or red by the light. Probably only vampires with super perception can distinguish it!

"Haha, joke, just kidding, don't take it seriously. ”

Nalan had a smile on her face all the time.

"Bad guys. Reimu pouted.

After she sat down, she turned her head away and ignored Nalan Twilight, as if she had made an awkward fuss.

It seems that the invincible Hakurei shrine maiden also has topics that she is not good at. However, it is only in areas that she is not good at that she will behave like a child.

"Anyway, the shrine maiden ......"

Nalan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Reimu.

"Don't call me a shrine maiden, I have a name. She said with a disgruntled face, "My name is Hakuri Reimu, the spirit of the soul, the dream of dreams, not 'you', not 'little girl', not 'shrine maiden'!"

"'Reimu', it's a good name, it's perfect for you. He complimented.

"Really? Thank you very much. ”

"Reimu, I have a very important question for you right now. Nalan put away her smile and said solemnly.

"Just ask. ”

"What do you eat at night?"

"Huh?"

Hakuri Reimu didn't realize what he meant for a while, and when she reacted, she didn't know how to complain.

"You guy, you need to eat too?"

She was under the impression that vampires only needed to suck blood to survive.

"Vampires also have a sound digestive system. Nalan Twilight explained, "It's a misconception that vampires only need to suck blood. In fact, vampires have a much more powerful digestive system than humans, and there is simply nothing that cannot be fully digested. ”

"Blood sucking, for us, is more of an ancient ritual than eating. ”

"Of course, it's also a way to fight. ”

"So, you mean you need to eat?" Reimu didn't fully understand Nalan Yu's words, it was too difficult for her after all, but she was still able to grasp the point.

"Some vampires like to just suck blood for energy, but I choose to eat real food. ”

Taste pleasure is one of the great pleasures of his life, so he will never be able to understand the vampires who do not eat or drink but only suck blood.

If you can't even enjoy it, what's the point of living?

"Really?" said Reimu casually, thinking of something else.

She has no interest in the life of a vampire, and what really bothers her is the meagre amount of food at the shrine.

If she is alone, it is definitely enough to eat, and if you add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, it will be difficult to say. What's more, the other party is still a vampire, and the estimated amount of food is not covered.

"Anyway, take me to the kitchen first. Nalan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll show you two hands." ”

"You can also cook?"

This vampire is indeed a bit subversive of Reimu's common sense. She's already starting to suspect that the other party is some other monster pretending to be a vampire.

"Not only will I do it," Nalan said smugly, "but I'm also an expert." ”

"Cut, big talk!"

Although she was not convinced, Reimu still took the other party to the kitchen. She wanted to taste what vampire food tasted like.

If it doesn't taste good, beat him up.

"Oh, this kitchen ......," Nalan said, glancing around, "It's even more backward than I thought." ”

This little dimly lit room is the kitchen. There was only a small window in the kitchen for ventilation, and under the window was an old, blackened stone stove with a pot on it. All kinds of large and small kitchen utensils and tableware are hung on the wall or placed in the cabinet, all neat and clean.

There were no modern appliances in this kitchen, not even a light bulb, and an old-fashioned oil lamp had to be used for lighting

As soon as Nalan Yu entered Gensokyo, he saw a Tengu reporter with a camera, so he overestimated the level of technology here, thinking that the people here lived a modern life that was no different from the outside world.

"And there aren't any decent ingredients......

He rummaged through the cabinets, which were full of fruits and vegetables, and the only meat he ate was a few dried fish.

However, considering that there is no refrigerator at the shrine, it is not possible to store much food, which is understandable.

"That's really sorry!" Obviously, Reimu was very dissatisfied with his evaluation, "The family is poor, there is nothing decent, I have wronged you!"

"Not really. Nalan said as she picked out the ingredients she needed, "Okay, you can go out." ”

"Thirty minutes out of the pot, it's not delicious, you look for me. He swore by it.

"I hope your words count!" Reimu said as she walked out of the room.

She returned to the living room, and before her ass was hot, she smelled an enticing aroma. After a while, Nalan Hui really came with the plate and arrived as promised.

"Please. He put the plate on the table, set the dishes and chopsticks, and gave a very gentlemanly salute, inviting Reimu to eat first.

Reimu was unceremonious, picked up the bowl and feasted on the dishes on the table.

The dishes of this meal are very simple - pan-fried dried fish, spicy dried fish, stir-fried lettuce with garlic, plus winter melon soup, a total of three dishes and one soup, all of which are very typical Chinese dishes.

"It's delicious!" Reimu exclaimed involuntarily as she ate.

Although it seems to be just an ordinary home-cooked meal, it tastes unusual.

The dried fish seems to have undergone a special treatment, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also has a taste that is not soft or hard. Dried tofu dyed red with chili peppers can bring a taste sensation without being too spicy. The lettuce is sautéed to preserve its crisp and tender texture to the greatest extent.

All three dishes can be called perfect. Considering that the ingredients in Hakurei Shrine are not high-end in the first place, and being able to use them to make dishes with this taste, Nalan Tso's cooking skills can be said to have turned decay into magic.

"Shhh...... Well, it's delicious!" Reimu took another bite of the winter melon soup and immediately praised it.

The bowl was filled with only pale white soup and a small piece of winter melon, but the taste of the soup was far beyond its appearance, and it was difficult for Reimu to describe his feelings for a while.

She was sure that this was definitely not an ordinary winter melon soup, and there must be some special ingredients used in it.

"Tell me, what exactly did you use?" Reimu asked, putting down the bowl.

"There are no secret recipes, what ingredients you usually use to cook, what materials I use today. ”

"You're a liar! Those ingredients can't make this kind of taste!"

She couldn't have imagined that the food served from the small kitchen of the shrine could be so delicious.

"I'm not lying. Nalan smiled and said, "I only have one more thing than you, and that's experience." ”

"Think about it carefully, when you usually cook, do you mix the seasonings correctly, are the portions accurate, are the ingredients handled reasonably, do you have a good grasp of the heat, do you really understand many details correctly?"

Looking at the stunned Reimu, Nalan Yu said a little proudly: "All these skills come from experience, and experience comes from hard work, and hard work comes from the accumulation of time."

"Cooking is not fighting, fighting can rely on talent, cooking can't. Cooking is such a thing, only by constantly accumulating experience, the level will improve. If you want to take three or two years of hard work to overcome a thousand years of experience, you are still too tender, little girl. ”

"Goo...... Damn ......"

I hate to admit it, but the food made by this vampire is really delicious. Reimu couldn't refute it, so she could only keep stuffing food into her mouth, trying to eat all the dishes on the table, so that Nalan Twilight had nothing to eat.

As a result, she was overwhelmed.

"Hiccup!" Reimu lay on the wooden floor, stroking her round belly and giving a loud burp.

Sure enough, these dishes are still too much for her small body, and she knew that she wouldn't be forced to eat so much.

However, all of this is Nalan Hao's fault, not only did she make the dishes so delicious, but also made her angry, making her eat too much unconsciously.

Thinking of this, Reimu glared at Nalan Yu again to show his dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing, you have an opinion on me when you're full?" Nalan Twilight, who was putting away the dishes and chopsticks, noticed her gaze and said unhappily.

"No, look at you, no?"

"Yes, how could it not?"

This girl is really hard to serve.

It took Nalan Twilight a bit of effort to clean up the table. As soon as he came out of the room, he saw Reimu sitting in the hallway of the shrine admiring the moon. What was next to her was two cups of tea and a plate of senbei.

Nalan sat down next to her silently, picked up the teacup and looked at the moon while sipping tea.

In the western sky, a full moon is slowly rising, gradually covering everything with a silver veil. The autumn evening breeze was a little cool, blowing his cheeks and making him feel quite comfortable.

He suddenly remembered that hundreds of years ago, it was always difficult to have free time after a meal like this. At that time, if there was a moon in the sky, he would admire the moon, if he had wine in hand, he would drink, and if he met a confidant, he would drink with him under the moon, and he would rest when he was drunk.

It's just that for vampires, there is no such thing as being truly drunk. Even if he was dizzy from drinking, he could recover immediately, which made him unable to enjoy himself.

It's hard to get drunk, and the fun of life is suddenly much less.

"Now, Nalan. Reimu turned his head, looked at Nalan Twilight, and said.

"Huh?"

"Now, can you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"Don't play stupid, you know. She leaned a little closer and said, "About Hakuri Shuoyue, the real cause of her death, and your relationship with her." ”

"Do I have to say it?" said Nalan with a wry smile.

Those things are not things that can be told in bedtime stories.

"I have to say it. Reimu said categorically, "This is what I ask as a victor. ”

Yakumo Murasaki had been hiding something all along, so she felt it was necessary for her to know the cause of Shuoyue's death, the origin of Hakurei, and the fate of the shrine maiden.

It's not just for herself, it's for the people she holds dear.

"Okay, so where do I start?"

Seeing Reimu's resolute eyes, Nalan finally chose to compromise.

"Let's start when you met her. ”

"When I met her...... That was 300 years ago......"
