The early morning mist fills the area around Hakurei Shrine, making the already sparsely populated shrine even more deserted.

It is inhabited by the shrine maiden of Hakurei, a place of complete unknowability to the weak yokai, a terrifying shrine maiden with a tall stature, deadly toxins from her fingers, three eyes, and a fond of playing with the mind of the yokai, possessing greater power than the oni clan.

Although none of them are correct except for the last point.

But to those who are familiar with this place, this place is just a dilapidated shrine, where ordinary shrine maidens live and enjoy their leisure time.

It's lonely.,All the youkai and people who have seen the shrine maiden-sama say that.,It's very difficult to survive alone in a place far away from the world.,Compared to Marisa, who has the family to send supplies and Rinnosuke to take care of.,The only possible help Reimu can get is the few poor relief items of the youkai sage that sometimes comes and goes.。

Most of the food that is usually eaten is leftover from the banquet.,Occasionally, Sakiya will bring snacks from the Red Devil Pavilion.,If you don't have food, you can go to the mountains of Hakurei Shrine to dig wild vegetables.。

It's gratifying, it's really a leisurely and natural life!

"What a ghost! Did you come here in broad daylight to mock me? Hakurei Reimu looked at the black and white magic on the broom in front of her angrily, and Marisa Kiri Rain, who enjoyed the leisurely life of a person during the day, was disturbed.

"Well, don't you care about these little things, Reimu, da☆ze! Didn't I see that you were bored so I came to play with you? Marisa pressed the big black hat with one hand, only one eye peeking out from under the brim, and looked at Reimu with a handsome side face, and said with a sunny smile.

It's a pity that this is enough to charm the girl's smile, and for the shrine maiden, it is not as real as a pack of cookies.

Snapping ——, knocked off the hand that was reaching for the few dried scallops that were left, Reimu glanced at Marisa, who wanted to steal it, and ate the rest as fast as she could.

"Eh, don't be so stingy, I didn't bring anything to eat."

Taking off his hat, Marisa poured out a number of mushrooms, large and small, that smelled earthy, freshly picked.

His brows jumped a few times in a row, and Reimu suppressed his voice and said, "Isn't this something you picked from somewhere, and you came to me to try it without even eating it yourself?" “

"Of course." Reaching out and eating one of the washed ones, Marisa said that it was non-toxic and non-polluting, so you can use it with confidence.

"It's strange, you've forgotten the last time you went to the Red Devil Pavilion with these things, and you added untested mushrooms to the banquet, causing everyone to be poisoned, oh, except for you and Reizen."

"Don't care about these details, it's not that you don't eat the dead."

"Is it much worse than eating the dead, and if you eat it, you can still get it back from the underworld and the Santu River, but what are you, a seductive mushroom? It was like a kitsch, and it was bad for everyone to eat it, especially when the old woman looked at me with green eyes, as if she wanted to swallow me alive. “

After saying that, after thinking of the madness of that night, Rao was invincible Reimu in Gensokyo, and couldn't help but shiver, if it weren't for his own power and the power of Hakuri, maybe he would have fallen on this poisonous mushroom that ignored spiritual power and demonic power.

On the night of shame, all those who attended that banquet instinctively did not want to bring up this topic.

Fortunately, all the people present were women, and it was impossible to make any scandals, but because of this oolong incident, Marisa still went to the old hell where she did not attend this banquet and hid for a long time, pinching her nose and enduring the smell of sulfur and the heat of underground magma.

"It's not easy." Thinking that she had broken several clothes at that time, Marisa sighed, if it weren't for the generous sponsorship of the Earth Spirit Temple, she might have to come out naked.

Hey, you're the culprit.

Knowing the extent of the other party's heartlessness, Reimu no longer complained, and calmly drank a sip of tea as light as boiling water.

"By the way, do you know, Forever Pavilion has recruited a new guy, man, except for Rinnosuke and my father." Marisa suddenly thought of the ** temple that she hadn't seen for a long time, and introduced it to Reimu, but only heard the sound of clicking, and looked closely at the past, it turned out that Reimu crushed the teacup that she had used since she was a child.

The bangs on his forehead didn't know why a large shadow hung down, and with suppressed anger, Reimu said: "Is that the guy who destroyed my family once, hehe, I waited in the Eternal Pavilion for a long time in those days and didn't find him?" ”

Looking at Reimu with a blackened expression, Reimu who was about to break, Marisa secretly prayed for the ** Temple, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that there would be such a big sorrow between you, and I actually destroyed the shrine that Reimu values the most, which is really something that many monsters dare not do.

I didn't expect that after so long, Reimu hadn't completely forgotten it, and it was not my fault that I brought it up and remembered it again.

"Has he come back already?" With a terrifying momentum, the witch who looked like she wanted to swallow the ** temple (in fact, she wanted compensation) said with a terrible smile.

"I don't know about this, I haven't seen him in a long time. No matter how many things it is, we haven't played against each other in a long time, so let's have a shot, Reimu! Marisa, who pulled out her weapon from the large pocket in front of her witch's suit, which looked more like a maid's outfit, said.

"Pepper?"

Looking at the word seasoning written on it, and then the small bottle with a faint spicy smell Lingmeng said suspiciously.

Marisa also noticed that something was wrong, and quickly searched for a while, pulling out her signature weapon, the mini gossip furnace.

"That's right."

The gossip furnace will cry, and it is so casual to put it together with the seasoning, looking at the gossip furnace that exudes saltiness, fragrance, spiciness, and all kinds of strange flavors, Reimu calmly said that there is no time.

"Eh, haven't you been doing nothing?"

"Who said, I have a lot of things to be busy with, and the shrine maiden of Hakurei is a busy person, and there are many things to do besides maintaining the law and order in Gensokyo, such as the harvest festival in the world."

The harvest festival is held at the latest in autumn to celebrate the harvest, when the residents of the earth, who have already harvested all two rooms, pay their respects at Hakurei Shrine and hold a festival to thank for this year's harvest and pray for next year's safety.

All in all, it's the annual buzz time of the year at Hakurei Shrine, and it's not the group of youkai who can only make trouble, and it's also the only chance for Reimu to receive money from humans to worship them.

The shrine maiden was looking forward to it, and even renovated the shrine for this purpose, which was a bit strange for Reimu, who was too lazy to do so.

But no.

The fire of Maki Island Seigo burned down almost all of the countryside, and if it weren't for the subsidy of the Eternal Pavilion, most of the remaining people would not have survived the cold winter, and with so many people dead, no one would have the leisure to come to Hakurei Shrine for any celebrations.

Marisa was silent, her family was still nowhere to be seen, and although she knew that nothing had happened, she was still a little worried that she didn't want to see that terrible disaster again.

Reimu was silent, she should have taken action in the original disaster, although it was a human self-inflicted act, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no trace of monster interference, and she would not show mercy to the monsters that disrupted the balance.

But.

But!

At such an important time, she was in a state of inability to act.

It's not that there are any enemies, but Yakumo Zi sent her a lot of food from the Red Devil Pavilion a few days ago, and in line with the attitude that she can't be taken back by Sakiya, and she has to eat it until she dies, she tried her best to eat, and it took two days and three nights, and finally fell into the food.

It's too much, and she's not a Yuyuko with an infinite appetite, as a girl who was only sixteen years old and only fifteen years old at the time, it was already a matter of perseverance to be able to eat for so long before she fell.

But in hindsight, no one in the Red Devil Pavilion has come to take these things, which shows that Yakumo Purple is using the method of stealing, why would he give it to himself?

Thinking of the possible reasons behind this, Reimu not only shivered, but the power of Hakurei, who was not afraid of cold and heat, seemed to have lost its effect.

"No, it won't." Thinking that although it was very irresponsible and lazy, but it was still her friend, Purple might be doing something, Reimu shook her head, how could she guess about something unfounded.

"What won't be, by the way, isn't the harvest festival going to autumn, do you have to prepare now, it's too early."

Marisa pulled out a magnifying glass and stared at Reimu carefully, as if she wanted to see the flower from her, my Reimu couldn't be so diligent.

"Really, I'm also serious when I'm serious, it's been a year of pause, this tradition is not a casual thing, this year must be carried out well, and it is also appropriate to prepare for this early."

Human beings are a very forgetful race, and it is thought that as long as there is a gap or two for this kind of festival, it is enough to forget the habits accumulated in the previous thousands of years, so this year's festival must be held.

"I've prepared a lot of things for this celebration, such as a ten-fold cash box."

That kind of thing just scares people away.

"And dance."

"You're going to dance." Marisa jumped in surprise, she didn't expect someone of her to have such a talent.

"No, the dance of the shrine maiden is only for the gods."

However, there are no gods at Hakurei Shrine, which means that Hakurei Reimu will never dance for anyone to see.

"I've called a professional to come over in this regard, and the performance called Noh is the finale I've prepared, and it will definitely make those people nostalgic for Hakurei Shrine, and there will definitely be more people who visit it every day in the future."

No, no, no, the biggest problem with coming to worship is safety, although Gensokyo is still peaceful, but there are still a lot of monsters on the way from the world to Hakurei Shrine, and it's still very dangerous for ordinary people, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the monster sages didn't allow monsters to attack people in those days, this event was not to say that it was successfully held so many times, and the first appearance can be said to be a miracle.
