At four o'clock, over the mountain of monsters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shotimaru was lying in the air, with her legs crossed, floating gracefully, with her camera in her hand. The photos in it, she flipped through it over and over again, looked at it, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said complacently:

"Now, those tengu nesting in the mountains are afraid that they are not worthy of carrying my shoes. ”

"So confident?"

The abrupt voice sounded in his ears, Wen immediately got up, turned his head to look, but saw a girl standing beside him, with double ponytails and the same black wings as her behind her - it was none other than Ji Haitangguo.

At this time, Guo looked even more proud than Wen, and I don't know what she was happy about.

"How is it, Wen, have you gained a lot this night?" said Guo with a cheap smile.

"Of course, okay!"

Jingguo flirted like this, Wen was even more arrogant than just now, if she was not a "tengu", but a real dog, it is estimated that her tail would have been raised to the sky.

"It's not me bragging, this mutation can be solved, and nine percent of it is my credit!"

Wen pointed at himself with a thumbs up, talking rhetorically.

"Eh, really?" asked in surprise.

"Yes, since you asked sincerely, then I'll show you something good. ”

Wen said, pressing a few times on the DSLR camera she had just acquired, and then handed the camera to Guo. When I looked at it, I saw a sea of fire on the screen of the camera, and there was a vague figure in the fire. No matter who it is, if they are engulfed in such fire, they probably won't survive!

"'Burst!Flame Vortex!' The moment when the Shotmaru knocked down the mutant mastermind!' How about the title?" asked Moon with a grin.

"It's quite to your taste. Guo nodded, returned the camera to Wen, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and said casually while pressing the keyboard:

"But how did I see something different?"

"What?"

"No!"

Guo handed the phone to Wen, who glanced at it, only to see a photo of Reimu knocking down the man in black with a flying kick on the screen.

At this moment, Wen was a little confused.

"Wait, wait," she said, "when did this happen? Why don't I remember it at all?"

"Just after you 'defeated' the mastermind of the mutation. Guo said, pulled the phone out of Wen's hand, closed the lid, and said with a smile:

"What do you think I'm going to name it?'Burst!'Shoot the moment when Hakurei Reimu knocks down the mutant mastermind!'

"Eh, that's a bit ......" Wen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, only to feel that his cheeks were hot, and he didn't know what to say to alleviate the embarrassment at this moment.

"I've always been chasing you from behind, but today I'm ......," Guo said, leaning his face over, the tip of his nose was about to meet with Wen, "It's time for you to chase me." ”

At four o'clock, deep in the mountain of monsters.

The sky was slightly white, and the morning light pierced the paper windows, lighting up this small mansion hidden in the mountains.

The house is largely Chinese-style, made of pure wood, standing alone in a clearing between the mountains and forests. The house is surrounded by a wooden fence to isolate the primeval forest from the dwelling. The space inside the fence is a small garden, with a few potted plants scattered in it, all of which grow in strange shapes, and at a glance you can see that they are rare species.

Directly opposite the house is a shallow small pool, the water of which is as clear as a mirror, and there are some lotus leaves floating on it, drifting in the wind.

This place, if it is used to live in people, it is inevitably a little too quiet. But if there are immortals who have seen through the red dust to come here to live in seclusion, it is just right.

"Whew!"

There was a short grinding sound, the wooden sliding door was wide open, and a woman stood in the doorway, taking a deep breath of the early morning air.

The smell of the morning breeze was cool, moist, and fresh, mixed with a slight smell of ashes.

"Huh?"

Out of doubt, the woman said to herself:

"Where did this smell of smoke come from?"

Through the morning mist, as far as the eye could see, the fire and black smoke were faintly visible in the distant mountains—this was not the mountain of monsters she was familiar with.

"It seems that when I was in retreat, a lot of things happened in this world!"

With a long sigh, the woman craned her neck, stuck her fingers between her lips, and whistled at the pale blue and faintly shiny sky.

Immediately after, from the endless sky, there was a scream in response to her.

It was undoubtedly the long song of an eagle.

"Kume, give me a ride!" Facing the eagle eagle circling down, the woman waved her hand and greeted with a smile, "It's time to go outside for a spin!"

At eight o'clock, in front of the door of Xianglin Hall.

The sun shines on the canopy of the Enchanted Forest, waking up these ancient giant trees one by one. Their neighbors are humans and youkai who stay awake all night.

"Toki, go to the warehouse and get a barrel of gasoline!"

Rinnosuke Mori walked out of the store carrying a corpse, shouting as he walked.

"Ah, okay!"

When the toki who was standing at the door heard this, he immediately ran back to the house to carry the oil drum. Rinnosuke threw the corpse on his shoulder not far from the door of Korindo, and the corpse was piled up as tall and thick as a hill, straightened his back, and gasped.

"Whew, the last ......," he said to himself, hanging his sore shoulders, "but it's done, I thought it wouldn't be clean for the rest of my life." ”

Since Reimu came to the rescue and left last night, Rinnosuke and Tokiko have been busy disposing of the zombie corpses piled up in the store and in front of the store, and until now, it has finally come to an end.

Although the two of them are nominally working together, Rinnosuke is also a man, and after all, he was embarrassed to let the tokiko, who was more than a head shorter than him, carry the heavy burden, so he took over all the heavy work. Moving corpses, moving furniture and so on, he basically did it alone, and Toki was mainly responsible for chores.

Now it seems that he is really asking for his own hardship. He couldn't even remember the last time he did this kind of heavy work, no, did he really do any "heavy work" as a white-faced scholar with fine skin and tender flesh? Besides, he really couldn't compare to the toki in terms of strength alone. If the monsters in Gensokyo are ranked in order of combat effectiveness, how can Toki be able to reach a lower-middle position, and Rinnosuke is basically at the bottom.

However, considering the existence of the trio of light fairies in the Enchanted Forest, his ranking may not be so shabby.

"Oops......"

After beating his shoulder, Rinnosuke rubbed his almost unconscious waist, and immediately complained of pain.

"Alright, it's decided. He gently pressed his back to prevent it from falling apart, and announced into the air, "Starting today, Xianglin Hall will be closed for a week!"

The echo drifted between the trees, and all the loyal customers of Xianglintang should have received the news. They, huh...... As long as Rinnosuke is willing to believe, they exist, it must be like this......

"Yo, this little brother!"

At this time, a red-haired cat-eared girl, pushing a wheelbarrow, walked towards him, saying hello as she walked.

The girl wore a dark green dress with a lot of stripes, a thin black silk belt wrapped around her right leg, and two braids on her head, with a black bow tied at the end of the braid. This dress has a bit of gothic flavor, of course, in terms of style, it is far less distinct than the Scarlet sisters.

It is worth noting that not only does she have a pair of real-looking black cat ears on the top of her head, but she also has a pair of absolutely accurate pointed horned ears on both sides of her head, which together are two pairs of ears. Plus those two black-haired cat tails that were wagging around behind her ass...... Well, two tails, four ears.

Does she have an older brother named Dongfang Dingsuke?

"Ah, hello, you are ......" Lin Zhi pushed his glasses, carefully examined the other party's appearance, and then said:

"Wildcat's youkai, if I'm not mistaken......"

"Little brother is a good eye," said the girl, "but Meow is not a wild cat! ”

"Sorry, no offense. ”

"It's okay, it's okay Meow! Then again, meow, brother, you seem to be a little troubled. ”

"Isn't that obvious!" Rinnosuke glanced at the pile of corpses and said, "Just moving these corpses out will kill me." Then I have to burn it, and I don't know if the oil is enough, and if it doesn't burn clean, it will be disgusting......"

Imagining the sight of slimy charred corpses everywhere in his mind, Rinnosuke couldn't help but shudder.

"Eh, you want to burn the meow?"

Hearing Rinnosuke say this, the girl's expression changed subtly. She looked like a child when her favorite old toy was about to be thrown away. As for why she showed such an expression, Rinnosuke couldn't understand either.

"Definitely!" he said without thinking, "if you don't burn it, will it stink here?"

"That's not necessarily meow!"

The girl blinked the pair of thief's slippery cat eyes, revealing a professional smile like a businessman, and said:

"Anyway, we have to dispose of it, rather than doing it yourself, it's time-consuming and laborious, why don't you give these corpses to Meow?"

"The word 'send' is misplaced," Rinnosuke corrected, "because these bodies were never mine, they were just left in my house." If you want, just take it, and I have to thank you for taking care of this big thing for me!"

"Meow each other! Meow has to thank you so much for giving Meow so many corpses for nothing at once!"

As she spoke, the girl's red cat eyes almost burst out. After a hasty thank-you, she immediately threw herself into her work, unloading the corpses from the mountain of corpses and stuffing them into her small cart one after another.

"By the way, little brother, these corpses can't be transported at one time, can you help Meow keep them?" The girl asked Linnosuke behind her while busy, "It won't be too long, Meow will definitely be able to clean up this place before noon." ”

"Of course you can, actually, I'm even willing to pay you as long as you're willing to do it. ”

"Meow haha, you don't need money or anything!" the girl laughed, "For Meow, corpses are much more useful than money!"

"There's a question I don't know whether to ask or not, but I'm a little curious. Looking at the hard-working cat demon girl, Rinnosuke couldn't help but say, "Why are you carrying the corpse?"

"Huh?"

The girl's tail trembled, stopped what she was doing, turned around, smiled a little awkwardly, and said:

"Because...... Because in Meow's place, this is a baby meow!"

"These corpses?"

"Uh-huh, it's a corpse!"

"Really?"

Although he didn't understand where a corpse could become a treasure, looking at her expression, Rinnosuke knew that it was inconvenient to expand on this topic, so he asked instead:

"By the way, this meow...... What should I call you, this young lady?"

"It's good to call Meow Aran!"
