After the battle, the banquet officially began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blood on Longinus had been wiped clean. Yutong Shiai asked Sixteen Night Sakuya for a piece of red coarse cloth to wrap around the blade, but what she got was a delicate silk cloth that was as crimson as blood. But it's not to spend money yourself, and Yutong Shiai has no opinion at all.

Pure white marble with bright red Gothic inscriptions on the paper table is filled with sumptuous dishes, and the extraordinary golden veins of the bowls and plates alone look surprisingly precious.

That's definitely real gold.

In this way, the ten loves also wrapped the blade of the spear with silk cloth with peace of mind. Wrapped like a cotton swab, Longinus sat down on a carved stone seat with a high backrest.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started, guys."

The head maid, with an impeccable business smile, stood behind her master's seat and said to the crowd.

But then again, shouldn't this sentence be said by Remilia, as the master?

Remilia didn't seem to care about the maid's transgression, but her chin was supported in her left hand, her whole body was lazily leaning on the backrest, and her right hand was holding a wine glass filled with an unknown scarlet liquid, and her equally scarlet eyes were slightly open, looking at Shiai, who was farthest away from her.

The Chewer is a legend that has been around for a long time. It's like a ridiculous rumor.

An unsatisfying youkai, a youkai conquered by appetite. The rumors about him are all about eating some kind of monster or something, almost all of them are eating, eating, eating, and eating, and he was once mistaken for the gluttony of the Celestial Empire. But the demons later discovered that the objects of the chewers were all demons or something reputable. Instead of eating everything like gluttony.

Then came the humiliation of the hunt.

So I don't know who first launched the call against the chewers. And the impact of this call quickly spread to all unknown corners of the world. They officially named it "The Eater", and drew the image with the help of the descriptions of the few survivors.

The white clothes with red edges, the wooden face and the red eyes seem to have an appetite to eat the whole world.

But the Chewers are still active around the globe and abandon the crusades. And the crusading army has not been able to engage it head-on. In this way, it lasted until the seventeenth year of the Meiji era, Gensokyo was established, and the monsters all arrived in Gensokyo, and news from the outside world began to circulate little.

Remilia shifted to a hand to support her chin, her blood-crystal-like pupils glistening in the candlelight.

"Should I call you a chewer, or should I call you Yutong Shiai?"

Remilia unceremoniously asked the question. The meaning is obvious, questioning how the teenager faces his sinful past.

A youkai that enjoys chewing on its own kind.

“……”

The banquet fell silent.

Some people know the meaning of that question, some people don't know, but it doesn't prevent them from reading the current atmosphere.

Sitting on the other side of the table, Yutong Shiai's black eyelids sank. This is a forced question.

"Remilia Scarlet, you've been hungry, haven't you?"

The young man's voice came softly.

"I just don't want to starve to death."

Yakumo stroked her blonde hair and lowered her head, long bangs covering her eyes.

Remilia's eyes froze for a moment, and she nodded.

"So, tell us about yourself. My guest. ”

Shiai stood up and looked at the girls in the audience all looking at her, and smiled.

"Good evening everyone, the first time we met, I am a fantasy monster, Yutong Ten Love."

Remilia let out an inexplicable sneer and raised her glass.

"You've passed."

"What an energetic child."

A soft, marshmallow-like girlish voice came from the left.

Ten Ai turned her head to look at the girl who spoke.

She was a girl who looked to be seventeen years old like purple, with short hair as gentle and bright as cherry blossoms in the soft light, and her red eyes were not the blood-colored crystals of Remilia, which had a cold and hard texture, but were warmer, cherry-like crimson. The soft face of classical elegance is the delicate smile, which adds a bit of vitality to the temperament of the whole lady. A pure blue kimono like the sky after a rain outlines the well-proportioned and soft curves of the body, and there are pure white arm bands on the sleeves, and the hem of the fluffy skirt is a dark blue cherry blossom picture, like the sea-colored night cherry blossoms blooming after the rain.

It is also worth mentioning that on the strange hat, in addition to the wavy lace edge, there is also a white triangle cloth with a mosquito coil pattern that represents a ghost.

No, it's the undead, this breath of pure death is different from the ghost.

Ten Ai's eyes narrowed.

"Hello, I'm the lord of the white jade carving, the Yuyuko of the Xixing Temple."

The girl continued to speak disappreciatively in what should have been majestic in that soft voice.

"If the people you know are going to die in the future, remember to let them come to the White Jade Tower to be ghosts."

…… Was that the question in the first place?

"The first time we met, in the Soul Demon Dream, the court master of the White Jade Building."

The silver-haired girl who was sitting beside Yuyuko also stood up at this time, with a standard ninety-degree bow.

"Please advise me."

The girl is about 1.5 meters tall, her short bright silver hair flashes with a sword-like cold light, even in the candlelight, it has a cold metallic luster, Dodge blue eyes remind Shiai of the deep strait, and the childish baby face is full of seriousness and caution that does not match the appearance. She looked more majestic than her master. A pure green court master vest and knee-length skirt marked her identity, and this color is the color she most often encounters when she works.

The girl had two swords on her back, one nearly as long as her height, and the handle of the sword was placed on the left shoulder, while the other was much shorter on the left waist. Behind the girl was a massive, almost human-tall spirit, emitting a misty fluorescence.

"Yes. Please advise, Miss Soul. ”

Although Shiai is a little uncomfortable with that harsh attitude, he can still cope with it.

"I wonder if Mr. Yutong is interested in going to Baiyulou to have a look?"

The soul demon dream looked at Yutong Shiaidao.

Ten loves were about to refuse, and Sixteen Nights Sakuya suddenly appeared beside him.

"This is Miss Patchoulie Norregi, the underground librarian of the Red Devil Pavilion."

The silver-haired maid squeezed into the conversation like a queue and introduced the girl in her pajamas with long purple hair.

"First meeting."

The girl with long violet hair put down the book in her hand, half-opened her eyes that had just closed her eyes, and looked at Shiai lightly. Her fluffy hair fell lightly over her delicate shoulders, and four small red and blue bows were tied like small wildflowers blooming between the purple strands. The girl had a quiet and sweet countenance, and although there was a little tiredness and sickly paleness on this face, it could not change that beauty. The pink pajamas enveloped the girl's delicate body, and it was impossible to observe the figure, but that face alone was enough to make up for a perfect and weak body.

Ten Love's gaze met Pache Valley's deep purple eyes.

What a magnificent pair of eyes, although they were both purple eyes, Yakumo Purple belonged to an abyss that was difficult to see, and Pache was an endless ocean. Deep and unprobeable, full of intellectual charm and intellectual desire to explore.

"Please advise, Miss Norregi."

Pache nodded faintly.

"This is the black and white rats of the Enchanted Forest."

Sakuya Pachuri didn't plan to say anything more, so she continued to introduce meticulously.

"Hey Sakiya, what is a black and white mouse!"

But Marisa's protest is simply ignored by Sakiya.

"This is Miss Alice Margotroyd, a puppet who also lives in the Enchanted Forest."

"Ah, Miss Margot Royd."

When Shiai saw the beautiful girl that day, she couldn't help but show a hint of excitement. He looked at the girl who stood up and nodded, and smiled gratefully.

"Thank you for yesterday's events."

"Even without me, it looks like you'll be fine."

The blonde human form made the face indifferent and the sense of distance remained unchanged.

"I don't have to accept your gratitude."

"Uh......" The expression on Shiai's face froze, barely keeping a smile.

What an unapproachable girl.

The blonde humanoid envoy sat back again, and for a while no one was presiding over the banquet, only the blonde girl who picked up the knife and fork and prepared to eat was left, and the boy with an embarrassed face, and even Sakiya, who had forcibly interrupted the conversation between Youmu and Shiai, stood calmly beside Shiai, as if she hadn't seen this scene.

Alice looked up at Shiai, then lowered her head again and cut the food with grace.

"You can call me Alice."

Such simple and prosaic words came out of the mouth of the blonde witch.

Ten loves smiled.

Yes, although cold, repulsive, and full of distance, but he is indeed a kind person, just as he did when he first appeared.

"Alice."

"Well, ten loves."

"I don't think I need to introduce the next two."

Sakiya forcefully interrupted the conversation again, and with his right hand towards the shrine maiden and the sage, he turned again.

"There's no need for the eldest lady, then, I'm Sixteen Nightsakiya, the head maid of the Red Devil Pavilion, it's okay to call me Akiya, please advise me."

"Ah...... Well, please advise, Miss Sakiya. ”

Ten Ai looked at the blonde witch who lowered her head to eat, and then at the strong and perfect silver-haired maid, so she had to respond to the words of Sixteen Nightsakiya first.

Speaking of which, in Gensokyo, are they called by their first names instead of their last names?

"If you don't need anything, please come back to your seat. The eldest lady will make a speech at the banquet. ”

The silver-haired maid bowed slightly.

"Uh-oh."

Ten loves are like goodness.

After sitting down, Shiai ceremoniously cut some food and ate it in small bites.

The small excitement of the chewer at the touch of his tongue on the food made him frown slightly. At this time, the moonlit vampire's gaze also turned to the boy, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Tonight, everyone, I have something to declare."

The bright red young moon put down the goblet, jumped lightly onto the table, stepped on the golden lines, and pointed her finger at the ten loves in the distance.

"His life, I will hunt."

"To you who lived, and to mine when I died." Yuyuko chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Alice stopped Marisa, who had pulled out the gossip furnace, turned her head, and looked at Remilia and Yuki Juai in silence along with the other girls.

Ten Ai also stood up slowly, but Remilia, who was still standing on the table, was a head.

"Remilia Scarlet, is it really because of the Eater?"

"That's right, Yutong Ten Love, it's because of this."

Remilia's smile was wild aggressive, and her sharp teeth gleamed with cold light.

"For you and us, there is a relationship of predation to each other, isn't it?"

"What a nasty statement, demon of fate."

Ten Love frowned, but the words were exchanged for the vampire's unbridled laughter.

"Yes, Yutong Ten Love, fate always makes people hate, hahaha, you're right!"

Remilia gently used the back of her hand to elegantly and artificially half-hide her mocking smile.

"But ah, Yutong Ten Loves."

The Demon of Fate turned around and set his eyes on the main hall of the Red Devil Pavilion.

"No matter how much you hate it, you can't resist it, it's just a waste of hope and hope."

“……”

Ten loves didn't fight back.

He just looked at the lonely back.

He can't do what he doesn't understand the pain of others, and he can't do what he thinks about breaking the blood of fate without practical meaning. So he just was silent, looking at the figure.

The lonely young moon hung in the sky, and there was not a single star around.
