Aunt Yuzu led the way and first took me to the smoking kitchen to report to Teacher Huiyin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yuzu? Alice? This is、Ah, you're going to ask Alice to sign the joint letter, right? "When Huiyin-sensei saw the strange combination of the temple helper and the Hakurei shrine maiden, she immediately knew what we were here for.

"I don't think it's a hassle to sign a big name, and I should get involved in the name of the Hirori shrine maiden."

"Alas, I wasn't going to trouble Alice, and I also know that the presence of the Witch of Hakurei will indeed have a great effect, and if it is Reimu, I will let them contact them in advance...... Uh, I'm very, I'm sorry, I'm not saying Reimu would be better than Alice......"

"I know, I know, I'm just a temporary worker, and I don't know that I'm not suitable to speak on behalf of the Hakurei witch."

"No, no, whoever speaks in the name of the Witch of Hakurei has to be taken seriously, and in any case I thank Miss Alice on behalf of the children and their parents."

"You're so polite, we've also bothered Teacher Huiyin for lunch."

"Yes, yes, you guys are going to sign it right away, the letter is on my office desk, and Yuzu has the office key?"

"Take it, Mr. Huiyin, I'll take the shrine maiden to the office, you're busy."

Bidding farewell to Teacher Huiyin, who was dressed as a cook, we went to a two-story wooden building near the classroom in the temple house, the office was on the second floor, and the corridor made of wooden planks made a dull and dull sound even at the slightest footstep, and came to the room next to the staircase, and Aunt Yuzu took out the key to open the door.

The scene in the office is not as classical as the word "temple house" shows, if you exclude a huge desk and a chair, there is almost no other furniture or decoration in this office, the most conspicuous thing in the room is the desk, at first glance it looks like a rich family's mansion study commonly used in the brown and black European long table, but if you look closely, you feel that it is not a foreign style, the shape of the desk is mainly straight lines, obviously to be concise, suitable for office as the guiding ideology, I don't know whether it is from the hand of the kappa or the carpenter in the people. The second conspicuous thing is that there are more than a dozen stacks of half-person-high papers and books on the left and right sides of the room, some of which look like homework or test papers waiting to be corrected, and some of which are printed textbooks produced by Suzuna-an, all of which are old books.

On one wall, a grid of bookshelf houses countless new or old books from the outside world, and on the other wall hang several distinctive ink landscape paintings, also by unknown people. Behind the desk is a mahogany chair, and behind it is a glass window that occupies a quarter of the wall, which makes the room extremely well lit, and the only appliances in the room are a bronze four-leaf ceiling fan hanging from the roof and an electric light installed on the wall next to the door.

The desk is unlocked inside and outside, it is just an unguarded desk, if Huiyin usually puts the exam papers in the drawer is not able to prevent naughty students with bad intentions, the large window of the office is only four or five meters from the ground, it seems that it will not be locked upside down just by piggybacking on it in normal times, if the students do not have rich experience in picking door locks, they can climb in through the window to steal the test questions.

Aunt Yuzu opened the largest drawer in the middle, a gray brown paper envelope lying in the center, and there were four rows of black hard leather albums neatly arranged below, the reason why I knew that they were albums was because their covers were marked with "Gensokyo xxx season to xxx season graduation photo", which shows that Teacher Huiyin is really a nostalgic person.

Out of curiosity, before Aunt Yuzu opened the envelope, I took out a photo album at the top and flipped through it, "Huh? Has this year's graduation photo been in the album? Cuixiang is also there, and she's already a teacher. ”

"Yes, Ibuki-sama is very popular with children."

Once upon a time, the Lori Ghost King has quietly transformed into the Child King.

"Speaking of which, shrine maidens used to perform puppet shows in people, and my daughter and many other children loved shrine maiden-sama puppet shows."

"Well, then, I wasn't a shrine maiden then."

The joint letter was pulled out of the kraft paper envelope by Aunt Yuzu and unfolded on the flat surface of the desk, with the quill pen inserted in the inkwell and looking ready to use.

The joint letter uses a special piece of paper with an ordinary width and length that can be extended to the edge of the table, folded like the fold used by the ancient court ministers in the East, the content of the petition part occupies only two sides, and the rest are signed by the villagers or handprints, most of the parents who petition for their children can write their names, but there are also many illiterate people who ask Huiyin to sign on their behalf - the font is dignified and beautiful and similar to the handwriting of Huiyin Mobao I have seen - and put a handprint on the name, Before that, I thought that most of the residents of the people should have been educated by the temple and would not be illiterate, but now it seems that the situation is far from what I imagined.

"There's already a blank space left in front for the big guys to sign, so let's write next to Mr. Huiyin."

"Hmm."

After the text, there is a page with few signatures, almost blank pages, there are only four signatures at present, the first two strange names surnamed Misty Rain and Barnyard Field should be Marisa's father and the barnyard field patriarch, and one of the two in the back is still the barnyard family, that is, the incomparable Miss Aqiu, and the other is naturally Huiyin, these four people are indeed the most prestigious people in the people, and the next page is densely packed with a large number of villagers to sign, I thought about it for a while, and then signed it with Katakana under the upper Shirasawa Huiyin"Alice Margot Royd".

I hope they don't put off the joint letter to the Presbyterian Church until after I leave office, when my signature will lose the authority of being valued by the people, and the marginal status of a troupe leader who occasionally performs puppet shows for children on people's festivals or festivals will not be able to deter the stubborn Presbyterian Church.

Aunt Yuzu cleaned up the letters, and I flipped through a few more pages of the album, but apart from everyone smiling sweetly - at least on the surface - I didn't find any violent points worth gossiping about, such as the little boy who had a crush on Huiyin, the little girl who had a crush on Huiyin, the school employee who had a crush on Huiyin, and so on.

"Aunt Yuzu's child should have graduated, right, in which part of the album?" I asked with interest.

"Oh no, my daughter is just ten years old and hasn't graduated yet."

"Huh?" If my daughter is ten years old, with the general early marriage situation in the people, Aunt Yuzu should be no more than thirty years old, but I judge from her appearance that she seems to be nearly forty, "but you look a little ......"

"A little old", if it were for Sister Zi, I might hesitate for a while before saying it, but at the moment in front of me is an ordinary person, a villager aunt, who has a rough background, but is simple and wise-at least I think so-such a person is not annoying in any way, and I am really embarrassed to blurt out rude words in front of others.

"Alas, this is a fact, there is nothing to hide, it seems that many old people have not been killed by the dead ghost husband who abandoned his family and daughter."

"......" I think all I can say is, "Excuse me." ”
