Chapter 4 Prologue: Hakurei Shrine
"Fran, that's rude. Sakiya stood behind Fran and picked up her petite body and placed it on the stool.
"Don't, every time my sister, Sakiya, and Patsy don't let me go out, this time you still won't let me go out, I've obviously tried very hard to control it, why can't you understand me. Fran struggled awkwardly on the stool, but she didn't inadvertently damage anything, and it seemed that she was in good control.
Sakuya also saw the efforts of the second lady, and it was a little unbearable to refuse so resolutely, but to solve the abnormal matter, Sakuya had no way to put his mind at ease. On the one hand, he is worried about what harm Flan will suffer, and on the other hand, he is also worried that Flan will play with excitement and will not be able to control himself and cause harm to others, after all, the ability to destroy a qiΔ thing is too domineering.
But no matter how unbearable she is, Sakuya still can't patronize and have fun and ignore the safety of the second miss, so she can only persuade in a harmonious voice: "Second miss, we really can't take you there this time, if you want to play, how about we deal with the mutation and play with you for a day." β
"Don't. β
"Second Miss. Sakiya's tone was a little higher, staring at Fran, who was still playing tricks.
"Don't, I don't listen, I don't listen. β
Fran was really stubborn today, staring at Fran's Sakuya and deflated, and her tone became softer, "Second Miss, I didn't deliberately restrict your actions this time, but I really didn't go to play this time, I will discuss with the eldest lady after the mutation is resolved, and then it will be okay whether it is an outing or a banquet to solve the mutation, is this okay?." β
Hearing Sakuya's compromise solution, Fran was sensible and didn't object, but she still looked a little unhappy, which made Pachouli and Sakuya coax for a long time before the clouds cleared.
"Whew, I'm really tired. Standing at the door of the Red Devil Pavilion, Marisa sighed at Sakiya, who had just finished telling the door.
"It's fine. Sakuya didn't feel anything, because of the second miss, the time had been delayed for a long time, and after greeting Marisa, Sakuya began to fly, "It's been a long time, let's hurry up." β
"Well, let's go. Marisa also rides on a broomstick and walks side by side with Sakuya.
Under the gray clouds, snowflakes flutter and fall to the ground, decorating the silvery world, and looking down from Hakurei Shrine, the whole scenery is unexpectedly full of beauty in a simple style.
"Hiss~~" took a sip of freshwater coarse tea, and the shrine maiden sitting at the door of the shrine looked at the world covered in silver under the mountain and thought so, and bit off a small round biscuit in one-twentieth of the area.
In the morning, I had just finished clearing the snow at the entrance of the shrine, but now that the white snowflakes were covered again, the shrine maiden, who knew that she had done useless work, simply shrank half of her body in the table stove and enjoyed the snow.
The shrine maiden is the only one in the deserted shrine, and after lunch, you can enjoy a few small round biscuits on the table stove, which is really a very pleasant day.
Half of the biscuits have been destroyed and then bites off one-twentieth of them, and the shrine maiden in a red and white armpit suit squints her eyes like a kitten, immersed in the spiritual world.
"Reimu~~"
"Reimu~~"
Before I saw anyone, a familiar voice came first.
Reimu, who was squinting, opened his eyes and looked at the two black dots in the sky that were getting closer and closer, and sighed imperceptibly. Failing to respond to a call from afar, Reimu put the cookie in her mouth, rubbing her fingers in the palm of her hand, and with her slender hand, she shook off the crumbs that had fallen in her palm and picked up the next cookie.
When Sakiya and Marisa arrive at the shrine's door, Reimu is leisurely picking up the last biscuit and biting down on one-twentieth of the area.

"Hiss~~"
Taking a sip of tea, Marisa exhaled comfortably and curled up in the kotatsu.
"You two, why do you have time to come here today?" Reimu asked strangely as she placed the second teacup in front of Sakiya.
"Have you forgotten Reimu, I only came this morning. Marisa's voice rang out, reminding Reimu of the fact that she had only been there this morning.
"Huh, is there one?" Reimu tilted her head, thinking back to her morning experience, "I don't remember exactly, but you said there was." β
"Ah, Reimu, you're making me sad like this, don't you? Reimu's unconcerned expression slapped the table angrily.
"Who made you come to the shrine often to eat, obviously you have already lived a life of hunger, and you still come to get a piece of the pie from time to time, and you can't live this day. Reimu also angrily shook the imperial coin, and ripples of spiritual power were drawn in the air.
"It's only been a few times, and I sometimes bring things from the earth, don't I?" Marisa replied.
"Then you might as well put the money directly into the cash box. Reimu clutched her chest in pain, "My money will be used by you to satisfy your appetite." β
"What, it's obviously my money, and don't you eat it yourself?"
"Hey, two, shouldn't we be down to business. Sakiya, who was left out in the cold, finally interjected.
"What's the matter?" asked Reimu strangely.
"About this mutation. Marisa reminded loudly, "Didn't you say it in the morning, let's go solve the mutation." β
"That's it. Reimu suddenly realized, "Don't go." β
"Huh?!" Marisa was rejected the second time, and angrily asked, "Why don't you go?"
"It's too troublesome, and Purple didn't come to inform me, so it's completely a big husband. Reimu waved his hand, "Isn't it snowing, so it's a little troublesome to go out, it's not a big deal." β
"You're a shrine maiden, and shouldn't a shrine maiden be worthy of her duties?"
"But as a shrine maiden, I also have a choice, and if I don't solve the mutation, no one will blame me. β
"Ahh β
"Huh?" Reimu let Marisa fiddle with her body and snorted indifferently.
"Really. Seeing that Reimu was still like that, Marisa put her disgusted aside, and drank tea quietly, having given up on the idea of persuading Reimu.
After Marisa stopped, Sakuya continued, "Reimu, this time I'm just here to convey the meaning of the eldest lady, and it's entirely up to you whether or not to take action, oh besides, the eldest lady is looking forward to the banquet after the mutation is resolved." β
"What does she want to say?" Reimu sat up with her hands propped up on the ground.
"Well, she just said that this mutation was made by the Saikyo temple family, as if they were plotting something, but you also know the consequences of Gensokyo's effect after the westward demon blossomed. That being said, we at the Red Devil Pavilion will not interfere with your choice, but if you are dealing with the mutations, we will be happy to help. β
"What, the old lady Purple is good-looking, why should I clean up when she makes a mess. β
"Ahh "Reimu had just finished blackening Yakumo Purple, and a hand suddenly stretched out from mid-air, rubbing Reimu's hair,
"Go away, your breasts are so big, they're squeezing me. Reimu shoved Yakumo's face and pushed her aside.
"Reimu, are you jealous? It's okay, even if you're poor, I won't dislike you. Yakumo chuckled and leaned over and hugged Reimu's body, who struggled uncomfortably for a few moments before giving up.
Yakumo Murasaki saw that Marisa and Sakiya were both looking at her, and the black and red fan half-covered her face, and said kindly, "Ah, the two of you look at me and Reimu so enviously, do you also want a warm embrace? I don't mind sharing my love for Reimu." β
"Go away, you perverted monster. Reimu was provoked by Purple's words and pushed her away.
"Reimu has really become uncute, obviously when I was a child, I asked my sister to ask for candy, but now I refuse to hug it. Purple pretended to be sad and cried about Reimu's estrangement.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I don't remember doing that when I was a kid. Reimu pursed her lips in disgust and looked at Zi with disdain.
"You...... Never mind. Yakumo Zi sighed, returned to the state of Yan SΓΉ, and said with some reproach: "Reimu, you are too slack now, look at it, the current monsters are really getting more and more arrogant, and it is not okay not to knock it." β
"That's what you say about your good husband?" asked Reimu.
"It's okay, Yuyuko is an undead and not a youkai, but she went a little too far this time. Yakumo sighed, "So go stop her." β
"How much salary do you want to pay me?" Reimu's eyes lit up as she looked at Yakumo Murasaki with a fluttering gaze.
Yakumo Zi stretched out three fingers, and Reimu's eyes lit up, "Deal." β
"Let's go, Marisa, Sakiya, let's go solve the mutation, dare to cause trouble in Gensokyo, Yuyuko of Saikyo Temple doesn't take me seriously too much. Reimu grabbed the royal coin and staggered to the door.
"I don't want to complain anymore. Marisa saw Reimu's energetic appearance, and lazily exhaled, "Why don't I tell her to go, Yakumo said she moved as soon as she came." β
"That's because you didn't pay her, or you would have left a long time ago. Sakiya replied as a matter of course, "I delayed Fran before, and I didn't have time to bring some things, otherwise it would have been easier to talk." β
Marisa clutched her hat in frustration and followed Reimu to the door.
After a lot of delay in Reimu, the trio of Gensokyo finally flew together towards the western underworld.
