[[[cp|w:410|h:606|a:c|u:/chapters/20146/11/31633256353808462007]]]] When I opened my eyes, the narrow shadows of the trees outside the house and the dim courtyard of the shrine indicated that evening was approaching, and the time was around 5:50 p.m. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Looking back at the purple/witch, she was still breathing steadily, her chest was barely heaving, and it seemed that she was in a deep sleep and didn't want to wake up anytime soon, maybe she would have to stay at the shrine for the night.

When Cuixiang and Orange Meow come back, ask one of them to help them report to the Red Devil Pavilion.

I came outside the house in a daze, the sun was setting, the shadows swept from the distant mountain peaks, the silence was fast and fast, when I came back to my senses, the afterglow was gone, I couldn't see the mountains and forests outside the torii gate clearly, the neighing of night insects came and went, instead of the birds in the night, I lit the oil lamps and braziers inside and outside the shrine to illuminate this small courtyard. Unlike my small bungalow, Hakurei Shrine is an open-plan building, and there is no strict distinction between the inside and outside of the building, so even if you stand in the empty courtyard where you can see the splendor of the stars, you don't feel far from home.

But my home has always been, and can only be, my own little bungalow, a small bungalow deep in the enchanted forest, accompanied by shadows all year round, and disturbing when I step out of the door.

I'm a little worried, will I be reluctant to renew this ancient shrine? But I should always go back to my own home, and the Hakurei shrine is the home of the Hakurei shrine.

Therefore, even if Reimu does not return to Gensokyo, it is impossible for me to occupy the shrine permanently, and the next full-fledged shrine maiden will appear no matter what. In that case, there is no need for me to be anxious about the future that is not easy to let go.

I hadn't realized the other day that lighting oil lamps and braziers was such a hassle, and even Alice's house in the depths of the Enchanted Forest was powered by a hybrid power station built by kappa. I had known the convenience of electricity more than 100 years before I entered Gensokyo, so I accepted it when Kappa came to sell electric wires, lights, electric kettles, and electric ovens.

Today, the convenience of electricity has expanded beyond lighting and heating, most notably through the use of the Kappa Internet and computer terminals for chatting.

But the shrine is still the most primitive human atmosphere, there is no electricity, and naturally there are no electric lights, electric kettles, or any decent electric cooking utensils, I think the kappa must have come to the door more than once to sell Reimu their modern lifestyle, but for some reason, the result is that Reimu did not receive any modernization of Hakurei Shrine, even if the shrine was rebuilt after being smashed by a large rock falling from the sky last time, Reimu did not take the opportunity to introduce wires.

She wasn't too troublesome at all, but Reimu was undoubtedly a lazy shrine maiden, was it because many of the time the cooks were made by Suika? So she is trying to give up the livelihood plan of connecting wires?

It's a hopeless shrine maiden, but the reason may not be as simple as I thought.

"Alice, Alice, I'm back!"

Walking in the night before it was completely dark, Ibuki Suika Lori jumped back from outside the torii gate with her hands crossed, and a bamboo basket hung from each of her two short baby fat arms, and when I got closer, I saw that it was full of all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and there were scarlet pieces of meat in the gaps.

"Is it another gift from a kind uncle and aunt?" Two days ago, at noon or in the evening, I had seen her bring back a basket or two of food, so I asked, "There is any leftover from yesterday, don't always bother the kind adults." ”

"Oh, you're too enthusiastic to refuse," Cuixiang still crossed her arms like a Lumia, "but with these, it's enough for us to eat for a while, and if there are kind people to give it tomorrow, I'll let Huiyin help you refuse." ”

"No need...... I thought of Orange Meow, "Orange-chan will be staying with us from today, so let's get more gifts." ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, the orange sauce is super comfortable to hold in my arms, then I have to prepare more meals. ”

I'm ashamed of the fact that I'm glad I've got a long-time diner, and I don't seem to have enough to feed a monster cat without Ika's help—laziness may be the main reason.

"Ah," I said, "Miss Pache of the Red Devil Pavilion is sleeping in the house, though she may not wake up so soon, so please make an extra meal." ”

"No problem," said Cuika, and ran to the kitchen with two baskets on her shoulder, "I'm going to cook, Alice will wait a minute." ”

"This ...... Need my help? ”

"No, no, no, I'm afraid you'll burn the kitchen down," said Suika, "and I'll talk about it in a few days." ”

"I'm afraid I'll burn down the kitchen, why are you so relieved to let me cook by myself at noon?"

"Isn't that okay, I'm glad I am."

"Because I had a meal at Moriya Shrine at noon."

"Huh? Don't learn all the bad side of Reimu. ”

"That's not the case, I went to ask Sanae for advice on being a shrine maiden, so I was left for lunch."

"So, I'm very happy to see Alice cheer up, and after I have something to say, let's go cook."

"Ahh

The Japanese-style diet, which is based on rice as the main dish and served with a variety of stir-fried and miso soups, was at least an order of magnitude better than the vegetable salad I often tossed to save effort, and I think it would be nice to switch to a Japanese food pie until now, but only if I have the patience to learn the skills of Suika - or be fed by the Lori Oni King with peace of mind forever.

Am I the latter? If I could, I would have a little bit of hope, but the probability of such a development is really not high, and it is slightly larger than the singular ring spontaneously turning out of the horizon, or Shanghai evolving independently.

As for the former, there may be some hope that tomorrow when I have nothing to do and start learning from Cuixiang, if I remember tomorrow.

"Alice Alice," this time it was Orange Meow, who seemed to have had a good time all day, and her face was full of pleasure, not at all like the two-tailed cat who had just been thrown out of the house by Purple, "I'm back." ”

"Why do you think you've heard the same greeting somewhere?" I said, "Orange sauce, where did you go at noon, did you have a good lunch?" ”

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell Alice, we're having a barbecue at Miski's."

"That's nice."

"Hehe, I brought back fried tofu and takoyaki," she said, holding up the wooden lunch box on her right hand, "but I forgot I haven't seen Lord Lan lately!" ”

"Don't, don't cry! The orange sauce will not be wasted, and I will eat it with Cuixiang later. ”

"Woo...... Thank you Alice-chan, you are such a nice person. ”
