Chapter Forty-Eight: Tea and Banquet and Words
Hakurei Shrine is a lively scene that doesn't need any superfluous remarks - the tea party of the Hakurei shrine maiden, where guests who should and shouldn't come gather, and the yokai who do good things certainly won't miss it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The spirits of the Saigyoji family are busy with the pastries on the table, and the demon of the Red Devil Pavilion is not satisfied with the shrine's inferior tea leaves, and makes disparaging comments along with her maid.
In the deep shrine, the blue sky reflected in the cup, and you can look up at the clear sky for thousands of miles, Yakumo Shisha caresses the rough outer wall of the cup, and watches the Reimu shrine maiden add a new cup of tea to herself with the ritual vessel of the gods.
This girl doesn't look like a shrine maiden at all.
"Lan said you're looking for me?"
Yakumo Purple drank the tea in the cup, poured the few drops left in the cup on the table, and drew the word "mouth" with his fingers, looking at Reimu with a smile.
"It's something, but it's not about me, it's ......"
"I want wine, I want wine, what's the point of drinking tea......" Suika ran over noisily, but was dragged into a corner by Marisa, and the two didn't know what to discuss, but thankfully Marisa didn't disturb the conversation.
Yakumo Murasaki turned his gaze back, and Reimu continued, "Fujiwara Ki, he wants to postpone the barrage duel with you. ”
"Then why didn't he say it himself?"
Yakumo didn't react on her face, as if it didn't matter to her at all, and no one could understand her thoughts anyway.
Reimu just brought a word, although she wanted to say a few words of defense for Fujiwara Nori, but she was also in the clouds, so she could only deal with it casually: "Who knows, he should be in the Eternal Pavilion now, Fujiwara Meihong asked me to tell you this." ”
"And the reason?"
"I don't know. ”
"That's what I can't do. ”
Reimu frowned lightly and said, "Isn't this too unkind?"
Yakumo poured herself another cup of tea.
The utensils used for the sacrifice of the gods, which should not have been contaminated with any filth, are now being held by a youkai, and the shrine maiden also turns a blind eye when she sees it, and her mind is not on the gods.
"Human affection or something, I'm a monster. So have you ever heard of '魍魉?'" Yakumo Purple deliberately diverted the topic elsewhere.
"Isn't that a youkai?"
Yakumo Zi just wanted to say something, but suddenly opened the gap, pulled out a folding fan from it to block the attacking ice cubes, looked at the ice spirit with his waist crossed in the distance, Zi showed a kind smile, and a gap opened on the head of the stupid guy, and threw down a big green goblin from it, and the scene began to be a little chaotic.
Reimu pursed his lips, he was really a youkai who liked to play pranks.
Seeing the big goblin's helpless apology, Zi nodded with satisfaction, and then said just now: "Where the dragon is located, the ghost often relies on it, and the ghost is opposite to the scene, sometimes you can see the night shadow of the courtyard on the door of the box, the withered pine stretches out its hand like a ghost, and the lantern is shaking like a ghost. ”
"What are you talking about? "Reimu didn't have much interest in the youkai thing.
Yakumo Zi looked at him and shook his head: "Your head is almost wood." ”
Reimu was a little unhappy on his face: "I didn't understand what you were talking about anyway, it's so tiring to talk to you monsters." ”
"Can you do something other than your duty?"
"For example, go to the beast path to fight little monsters, and go to the underworld to catch the undead?"
"That's what I do. Yakumo said with a tilt of his head.
"There are only three things that the shrine maiden does, and that's cleaning the shrine and dealing with the mutations, well, that's it. ”
"Aren't there only two?"
Reimu looked disdainful: "Isn't it common sense that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the same is true for the work of witches?"
"The Four Heavenly Kings, are there four Heavenly Kings? I know the Ghost King. "Yakumo Purple is a little strange, although I heard that she is often exposed to things from the outside world, but she is not omniscient.
Reimu stretched out his finger and counted them one by one: "Isn't there five of Moreqing, Morehong, Morehai, Moreshou, and Marisa?"
...... "Well, Reimu's thinking circuit is a little different from that of ordinary people.
Seeing Yakumo Zi's depressed expression, Reimu suddenly became happy, but then, her eyes widened: "Hey, that's not what I just said, did I call you here just to talk about the ghost?"
"So what are you going to do?"
"It's just to postpone the barrage duel. ”
"No way!"
It was a sudden return to square one.
"Why not?" Reimu was a little confused, "you don't care about that, do you?" ”
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother with it, but I wouldn't ignore Fujiwara's matter, and besides, he brought it up too. ”
"What a big feud this is, what happened to him?"
"Don't get it the other way around, what did I do to him. ”
"Then what happened to you?" Reimu asked.
"I didn't do anything, who knew he would suddenly retreat from people. Yakumo Zi used a folding fan to cover her mouth, making a reserved appearance like a deep boudoir.
Reimu ignored Yakumo's mischief and stared at her with unkind eyes.
"Really, don't you trust people so much?"
"Only three out of ten of your sentences are true, how can I believe it. ”
Yakumo Zi rubbed Reimu's head in annoyance, and Reimu naturally slapped her hand down, her expression a little serious: "That's why no one likes you." ”
Ziruo smiled casually, "Humans are always afraid of powerful monsters. ”
"So what's the point of you intimidating humans?"
"It's just like people want to eat, monsters are just to be scary, isn't this the meaning of the existence of monsters themselves? It's just that he is an inhuman monster, but he still can't go beyond the constraints of common sense, so people are unhappy to look at, so he should be punished. ”
"Do you want him to be a youkai?" Reimu sounded a little angry, her cute eyes glaring at Yakumo Murasaki.
"I didn't say let him be a monster, I won't stop him if he goes to become an immortal and a Buddha, but he also has to have the guts to become an immortal and become a Buddha, and you are the same, there are only two kinds of witches in Gensokyo, and you should understand the road after Shinto......"
"Why are you talking about me again, or Fujiwara Kisa. Reimu impatiently interrupted Purple's words, "Since you are not accommodating, then I will refuse, really, if there is anything to say for yourself, won't I say these things for you to become a witch of the word?"
"Isn't the witch a messenger a special word for ghosts and gods?"
"That's what it means. ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll just say it all at once, isn't he going to postpone it for a while? Tell the human that I'll be here at the shrine in a week's time, that is, at the time of the festival, and I hope that he will realize, and if I'm satisfied, I can consider mercy. ”
"Got it, got it, let's have tea......"
