Chapter 3 Prologue: Candlelight Lunch

Although there were two people in the library, it was quiet inside. The pendulum on the wall, which is more than ten meters long, works tirelessly, and the sound of the clockwork can be heard clearly in this environment.

At this time, the two people sitting at the table and chair were staring at the books in their hands with their heads down, motionless, as if they were trying to read.

It's just that one of them is clearly not like that.

And the scorched blonde girl was the one who was absent-minded. After a cursory turn of the pages, the blonde girl finally couldn't help it.

With a bang, the girl slapped the Zhiwei picture album in her hand on the table and said loudly: "Now, Patsy, what's wrong with you today, why have you been quietly staring at my face, is there something on my face?"

Well, in fact, both of them are deserting half-heartedly, but Marisa, who rarely wants to read, is forced to be unable to concentrate, but Patchouli, who is usually immersed in books, is not in a state today.

"Yes, I've been reading books, it's your delusion. Patchouli said without raising her head, "Maybe Fran is secretly hiding somewhere to peep, ready to surprise you." ”

"It's better to have fewer surprises like this. Marisa waved her hand, "What about Fran, I didn't see her today." ”

"She, she came out yesterday to relax, but she was tired enough for Remilia to stop this morning, and she may still be sleeping in my room. ”

"Poor Remy. Marisa gloated, having such a disobedient but powerful sister was enough for her to have a headache.

"Oh yes, Marisa, I can't see your shadow these days, where have you been?" Patchouli put the book down and chatted with Marisa.

"Well, I didn't go anywhere, I was wandering around the Magic Forest before, but I couldn't find the mushrooms after the snow, so I ran to Reimu and told her to solve the mutation. As for Reimu, she didn't want to meddle in her own affairs, so I had to find the source of the mutation in my own fantasy village. Marisa glanced at the picture on the book and found that the image of Shiki was a little boring, so she threw the book on the table, her head lying on it, and her hat in both hands, showing that she was not motivated: "It's all because of this snow, I can't do anything, it's not exciting at all." Oh yes, when it comes to snow, Alice hasn't been to the world, she seems to have suddenly been keen on cooking lately, and I ate delicious muffins at her last time, and I'll bring them to you next time. ”

"Huh. ”

With a blank snort, Pache silently picked up the magic book and continued to study the magic, leaving Marisa aside. Marisa talked there for a long time, but the other party didn't even have the slightest interest in listening, smacked her lips in frustration, and picked up the book and read it.

Time passed unconsciously, and soon it was time for lunch, Sakuya prepared a more sumptuous food for the two, and then went to take care of the eldest lady Remilia and the sleeping Fran and the door red Meiling who had a thin sense of zΓ i, leaving the two alone for lunchtime.

Swallowing a piece of bacon cut into thin slices, Marisa scratched her face a little strangely, and couldn't help but say, "Now, Patsy, isn't it strange to light candles during the day?"

"The light in the library is a little dim, and you can see it better when you light the candles. Pache gracefully put down her knife and fork, wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and whispered.

"This kind of Cheng dΓΉ can still be seen, but it's up to you. Marisa put another piece of bacon in her mouth, "Well, it's delicious, at least it's much better than mushrooms." ”

"Okay, don't talk during the meal, hurry up and eat, and I'm going to Reimu with Saki in the afternoon. ”

"Aren't you eating, um, Patsy, aren't you eating?" asked Marisa as she saw Patchy placing her napkin on the edge of the table and leaning back against her chair looking at herself.

"Well, I don't eat anymore, after all, I don't usually eat much, so you can eat quickly. Patchouli nodded.

"Okay. Knowing her friend's habits, Marisa stopped admonishing and continued to destroy the few vegetables.

It's just that Pache kept looking at Marisa's face after eating, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth. Marisa was a little restrained under the gaze, careful not to make any noise from the dishes. The strange atmosphere made her quite uncomfortable, especially Patsy's eyes made her feel a chill inexplicably rise in her heart.

"Patsy, Patsy. ”

"Huh?"

"Why are you staring at me, is there something wrong with me today?"

"No, as for staring at you, oh, rude, I was distracted just now, and I didn't mean to stare at you. ”

"Really?" Viche looked at Patchhe suspiciously, and when she saw that she had begun to stare at her magic book, she believed her explanation.

After finally destroying all the food, Marisa leaned back in her chair and stroked her stomach, "Woo, what a hearty meal." ”

"Hehehehehe. Patchouli laughed, "I wanted to remind you that there is dessert after dinner, but it looks like you can't eat it anymore." ”

"Woo, it's a pity, but there's really no way around it. ”

"Hehe, I'll let Sakiya make another pot of black tea later. Pache smiled and told the little devil to put away the dishes and continue to chat with Marisa.

"Patsy, Marisa, what are you talking about?" another voice cut in.

"Fran!" Marisa and Patchy both screamed.

"Fran, when did you come here? Seeing Fran sit down in a chair taller than her, Marisa shifted her position so that Fran leaned next to her.

"I just came, I saw the little devil coming out of here, but it's strange why those little goblins are pointing at the door of the library. Fran sat in her chair, her feet in the air swaying back and forth, looking a little excited.

"Who knows. Marisa waved her hand, "These goblins have been staying in the Red Devil Pavilion, probably because they are too boring. ”

"It's really boring, my sister and Sakuya refuse to play with me, so China is willing to accompany me. Fran said a little depressed.

"Aha. Marisa laughed awkwardly, not saying anything, but feeling a little sad in her heart. Who can stand your play, even if you have to pay a little attention yourself.

"Patsy, Marisa, what were you talking about here?" asked Fran curiously.

"I'm going to do something. Marisa shrugged her shoulders and covered her mouth in regret.

"What's the matter?!" Sure enough, as soon as Fran heard Marisa's words, she perked up and asked excitedly

"Aha, it's nothing, it's just some daily chores. Marisa chuckled dryly and turned to look at Patchouli, who took a look at Marisa's expression before nodding at Fran.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Fran pouted unhappily at the two of them's perfunctory, "If you don't say it, I'll go ask my sister and Sakiya." ”

"Don't, don't. Marisa grabbed Fran's arm, "I said, I said. ”

"Hmph. Fran snorted angrily and sat down on the stool.

Marisa let go of Fran's hand and pinched her nose and explained, "Actually, Sakuya and I were going to Reimu to inform her about the mutation. ”

"Is there anything fun?" said Fran's angry face with joy again.

"It's not fun, it's not fun. Marisa quickly shook her head.

"Hmph, it seems that I still have to ask my sister. ”

"Ouch. Marisa groaned in frustration, "My second miss, well, I'll be honest, we're going to find Reimu and then go to Saikoji Temple to solve the mutation, you know this time." Marisa saw that she couldn't hide it, so she simply recruited it from the truth.

"I'm going too. When Fran heard this, she was like a child who saw a toy, arguing to go, and refused to give up no matter how much Marisa and Pache persuaded her.

When Sakiya arrives at the library after everything is done, Fran is still wrapped around Marisa's back and pulling at her hair.
