"Good evening, Fujiwara. Marisa said hello, and her tone was unbelievably soft - was this still the energetic girl who put Da☆ze to her lips all day long, with magic cannons bombarding her and a bunch of girls hugging each other?

Fujiwara Ki couldn't help but lose his mind for a second or two, and it wasn't until the sound of Akiyuki Yamashita reminding him to eat sounded that he regained his senses.

The weak girl is really full of charm, Fujiwara Noriki sighed in his heart.

The meal was arranged, and a few people sat quietly and ate.

After dinner.

"Now, Fujiwara, you seem to be in a bad mood lately, like you've been sucked by a vixen. Reimu touched his stomach and stared at Fujiwara's face.

Fujiwara knew that the vixen she was talking about was definitely not Yakumo Blue.

Akiyuki Yamashita saw that the eyes of the two girls were focused on Fujiwara Ki, sighed in disappointment, quietly stretched out a thumbs up, and went to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.

Marisa plays with her gossip furnace.

"Is there one?" Fujiwara Ki touched his face and thought for a moment: "When I was cultivating a few days ago, the Danhuo was a little too much, and I was disturbed, is this the reason? But now that I can bathe and meditate, I should be fine." ”

"Well, this is indeed a lack of energy. Reimu nodded, and then the girl thought of today's newspaper and asked curiously, "I heard that there are also a bunch of nail straw figures in your restaurant, right?"

Marisa's gossip furnace accidentally spews out a trace of flames, and the girl smiles awkwardly and extinguishes the fire in the gossip furnace.

"You get it, too. I don't know who did it, Wenwen only saw the crime scene, but didn't catch the criminal. ”

"But didn't you, the witch, also be crucified as a straw man before, and it took so long to find the culprit, so I don't want to waste time looking for this source at all. ”

"It sounds like I'm incompetent. Reimu puffed out his cheeks and glared at Fujiwara Nori, but it seemed that because he had eaten too many times, this look was completely deterrent to the owner of the restaurant.

Looking at each other, Reimu sighed: "Recently, there have always been some guys plotting behind their backs, and there have been more rumors of various ghosts in the world. ”

"But isn't that a big deal?" Marisa finally put away her gossip furnace, and the girl rested her hand on the table very quietly, and the candlelight reflected in her eyes under the mage's hat.

"No, no, it's not that simple, and now there are more and more rumors in the world. Reimu shook his head, "Fear can increase the power of the youkai, and if people are more impressed with the youkai, after being remembered, the existence of the youkai will be clearer, and even those youkai that have disappeared may reappear." ”

"Is that because of the "Hundred Ghosts Night Journey" that I collected?"

Fujiwara Noriya also heard that there seemed to be some fox fire in the world, and the villagers gathered to fend off those late-night monsters, and in the middle of the night the day before, he was woken up by their shouts, and Fujiwara Kiya also saw a long dragon of torches gathered outside - it looked like the villagers were scared, although nothing happened in the end.

Reimu took the book in his hand to Marisana, and the magician opened it, and almost halfway through it, his fingers drew a magic circle on the magic book.

The streaks of the magic circle lit up, but they only lasted for half a moment before disappearing.

Marisa then put the book aside.

"It won't be your book. Although your book records the existence of monsters, it is not yet to the point of a demon book. ”

"What's that?"

It's a new term I've never heard before.

"It's mainly a book written by a youkai, and it has everything in it, such as a tengu's apology letter, a kappa's story, or a yokai girl's love letter. At the mention of the love letter, Marisa rubbed her head with a headache.

"These books have the power of words and spirits, and after the denied monsters disappear, they can use these books to continue their existence......

Marisa knows a lot about these rare books, and the girl patiently explains them to Fujiwara.

"So, if there's a monster doing anything with your book, it's a real demon book, and this kind of book is very rare, more rare than foreign ones. ”

"Then you have to have a life. Fujiwara shrugged.

"But don't let too many people see this book, the more people know about it, even if it is natural, it is possible to become a mourning god. Reimu handed over a talisman with a strange spell drawn on it, "This is an exorcism talisman that can withstand an attack if you encounter any youkai, but most of the time it's just a deterrent." If you're in danger, I don't have a place to eat, so I've been staying in the world lately. ”

"You're thinking about my food. Fujiwara Ki glanced at him, folded the talisman and put it on his chest, and there was also the degree given to him by Lord Shiki, which also had the effect of exorcism.

The two girls came today, it seems that they are investigating the abnormality in the world, and at the same time, they asked Fujiwara Kiri to help inquire about the movements in the world, and after saying these things, the two of them left.

After a while, Akiyuki Yamashita jumped out with a stern face.

"Fujiwara. Akiyuki Yamashita looked at Fujiwara Ki, "Did you say that girls' eyes are so bad?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Look at me, I'm more handsome than you, smarter than you, better than you, but why don't they even look at me? ”

"It's like they all like me. Fujiwara Ki squinted at him, just a yellow hair, just a little more conspicuous than me, but handsome is still far from mentioning, and I don't know the confidence this guy has taken.

"Okay, it's time to get off work, the Hirori witch said that there has been some unrest in the world recently, be careful at night, if someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, it must not be me. ”

"I'm so jealous of your good luck. Glancing at Fujiwara Ki, who was pretending to be stupid, Yamashita waved his hand depressedly and left.

Fujiwara Noriki put the book on the shelf on the counter and continued to exhibit it, "Hyakki Night Journey" has not yet been compiled, and when the record is complete, it will be put away again.

Reimu and Marisa walk out of the restaurant and wander the dark streets of the world.

The two walked side by side, and Marisa held the witch's hat: "It shouldn't be Fujiwara Kiri." ”

Reimu shook her head, "He didn't do it. But there's a little demonic aura in the hermitage.,It seems like there's something evil.,But you can't find the source.,It's a little suspicious.。 ”

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it. Marisa grabbed the broom and lifted it up.

"When did you become so zealous. Reimu looked at her strangely.

"Is there one?" Marisa stared at the road ahead, "It's a mutation, of course I'm going." ”

"Well, it's really an anomaly, if it's solved, how much will Fujiwara Ki pay?"

Since opening the restaurant, Fujiwara Ki is also a small landowner in the world.,The witch has maintained the peace of Gensokyo.,Isn't it natural to come to the shrine once in a while.。

Reimu already had a picture of Fujiwara Noriki pouring a bucket full of gold coins into the cash box, and the two discussed the reward, and walked farther and farther away, disappearing into the night.

Sitting in the hermitage, Fujiwara Noriki put the book behind the counter, closed the door, and returned to the bedroom.

In the empty hall, quietly.

It didn't take long for the bedroom lights to go out, and the hall was completely darkened.

Gradually.

The kettle in the center of the table, the lid of the kettle gurgling, and a trace of green smoke gradually rising, drifting towards the book placed behind the counter.

The smoke coiled around the book, gathering towards the book, but just as the smoke penetrated into the book, the magic array on the cover suddenly lit up, and the wisp of green smoke was instantly dispelled after touching the light.

It didn't take long for the dim glow to fade, the magic circle to disappear from the book, and the hall returned to its initial calm.

In the beast path of the night, Marisa, who was walking with Reimu, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Reimu asked strangely.

Marisa tightened her grip on her broom and glanced back in the direction of the world.

A quiet wild forest obscured the view.

"It's okay, it's just a delusion. Marisa kept walking.

Reimu looked beyond Marisa's body and into the deep path, the lush trees hidden in the darkness, and there was no noise in the windless night—nothing strange around.

Reimu glanced at Marisa, who was calm, shrugged, and continued walking.

Marisa lowered her head and followed in silence.
