Two days after finding a way to power the Red Devil Pavilion's rockets, Hakuri Reimu went to the Red Devil Pavilion's underground Bavaru Library for the first time and saw the rocket, which required the magic power of a three-section barrel shape. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What, it's not at all the same as I imagined."

Reimu Hakurei also expressed her opinion on the moon rocket.

"Not to mention the comparison with the rockets that look very delicate from the outside world, as far as I think, this thing made of wood will fall apart when it goes to the sky, right?"

"In your opinion, it's incredible that your imperial coins made of wood and paper could block Sakuya's throwing knives at the time, right?"

In response to Hakuri Reimu's belittling of her hard work, Pache unceremoniously fought back. Reimu was bored with herself, and she didn't say anything, and she circled around the rocket.

The main material of the Red Devil Pavilion's rockets is wood, which is riveted together with sturdy planks, and it looks like a huge wooden column stacked on top of three sections, and the top section has a conical roof. Reimu Hakurei saw through the window mounted on the bazooka on the bottom floor and saw the structure inside.

“…… It's surprisingly grounded, Rocket. ”

She saw that there was a bed, a kitchen, and a large round table in the large space inside the bazooka. For Hakurei Reimu, this is already an environment where you can live for a long time.

"Anyway, why don't you learn from the outside world to prepare rocket fuel, and instead ask Reimu to invite the gods?"

Marisa, who was looking at the report of the rockets listed by Patchouli, asked. She knew that Patchouli, as a veteran magician, had considerable abilities, and it was not impossible to imitate rockets from the outside world. Especially when it comes to rocket propulsion, she can only do better than the outside world.

"This is actually a secret on the lunar surface."

Pache smiled as she watched as Reimu opened the door mounted on the barrel and stepped into the barrel, then looked at the magic junior beside her.

"The rocket from the outside world is indeed quite capable, but it also has a fatal weakness - it cannot reach the back of the moon."

"Behind the moon?"

Marisa put down the report, thought it in her mind, and pouted.

"Wouldn't it be nice to go around in a circle?"

“…… What a young man with no imagination at all, I really have reservations about whether you will be able to practice diet magic successfully in your lifetime. ”

Pache shook her head with a look of regret, making Marisa's thick skin a little unbearable. But immediately Pache held out a finger.

"In the past, without telescopes, people didn't know that the moon was also a spinning ball. It was at that time that the theory of the far side of the moon was proposed. It is not feasible to interpret this theory in terms of the world as we know it. But precisely because this does not work, the far side of the moon has never been discovered by outsiders. ”

“…… Ah, I see, in short, the technology of outsiders can reach the surface of the moon, but they can't go to the far side of the moon, right? ”

Marisa said this, but her eyes twinkled away from Pacully, indicating that she had no idea what Patchouli was proposing. Pache didn't seem to expect her to talk so hard, but the black and white mouse didn't listen to anything, and was so angry that he began to cough again.

"Ahem, ahem...... You this, ahem, black and white mouse, ahem! ”

She was about to smash the other party with a book in her hands that was a little weak because of the violent cough, but Marisa was easily dodged, and she could only sit behind the desk in the distance with the help of her little demon demon, and she didn't forget to glare at Marisa fiercely.

Marisa could only smile and scratch her head, and Pache calmed down little by little after coughing for a long time. She gasped for a long time before she slowly continued.

"In short, the moon capital where the people of the moon live cannot be reached by technological means, so whether it is the fuel of the moon rocket or navigation, we need to use our own magic power."

Marisa nodded.

"Reimu has already started the cultivation of summoning Sumiyoshi, the god of navigation, and it would be good to let Reimu enter the rocket together when the time comes. Of course, I ...... as a giveaway."

"Don't even think about it."

Patchouli glanced at her and shook her head.

"It's true that the barrels underneath are spacious, but not all of them reach the moon. Following the outside rocket method, we will also detach the depleted barrel in the middle of the way, and only the top barrel will reach the Moon Capital. So there is a hard requirement for the number of people. ”

"Huh...... No way? ”

Marisa looked at the petite barrel on top in disappointment, which could still hold six or seven people. So she asked.

"Who are the candidates?"

"Remy, Sakuya, Reimu, the three fairy maids, and Yutong Shiai."

When Patchui told the list, Marisa's face showed surprise.

"Ten loves? He's going to the moon too? What to do? ”

"Bring him because his ability is quite versatile, and he is much more useful than you, so don't beat his quota."

Pache gave her a shot, but Marisa just shook her hand absently.

"Don't worry, Patsy, I still owe him a favor, and I won't think about it. And isn't there a fairy maid? ”

"That kind of thing, you talk to Remy."

Pache skillfully pushed the question to Remilia, who was not present. However, given Remilia's personality, it is unlikely that she will agree to Marisa's request.

"Ahh Then again, why aren't you on the list either? ”

Marisa suddenly realizes that Pacouli, who was supposed to be on her masterpiece, is not on the list, and she is curious, and even has a bad inference.

"Isn't there a problem with the quality of the rocket?"

"You're slandering my magic!"

Pache was really angry with this junior who couldn't spit out ivory, and raised her hand to shoot a book, but was picked up by this guy who was as sharp as a mouse, and grinned and held the book to his chest.

"It just so happened that I liked this book a lot, so I borrowed it."

"Ahem, you ahem, ahem, scoundrel!"

The little devil behind Pachouli, who had been sorting out the books, reappeared and caressed her back. After a while, she calmed down again, glaring at Marisa fiercely before she spoke to Reimu who had walked out of the rocket.

"I can't go to the moon with you guys because the rocket needs someone to guide it to the moon. This procedure is to be done outside. It's not a problem with rockets. ”

Marisa scratched her head and laughed dryly, looking at Reimu. Reimu Hakurei looked at the zenith that could be opened after the transformation of the Bavaru Library.

"Ten Loves, Purple, Moon, Forever Pavilion ......"

She muttered to herself as something peeled back into her mind, revealing its rough shape. She shook her head a little amusedly.

"That's confidence, Purple."

She turned her head and smiled at Pache Li's silent purple eyes.

"Now, magician, do you have any nice names for this moon landing operation?"

Pache asked, slightly surprised, and then smiled quietly.

"It's called the Sumiyoshi Project."
