shrine
And on such days, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Marisa's affair has cast a shadow on her heart, Chen An, who seems to have no heart and lungs, still lives like that, reading books in the library and teasing Pache Li; Tossing around in the Red Devil Pavilion, playing with Remy, Métichin, and Fran.
Occasionally go underground to see them, or go to Renli, Minglian Temple and other places to drink with acquaintances, and the days are probably like this.
Except for going out for a walk every once in a while, and occasionally being silent, the smile on his face has never disappeared.
And these days, it's not without good things.
For example, Monster Mountain has lifted the ban on Chen An, in addition to allowing him to run around on the mountain as usual, without worrying about a poor milk tree jumping out, and then using the reason that Monster Mountain does not allow him to enter, Wenwen can finally leave Monster Mountain, run around in Gensokyo with infinite vitality, and collect those materials to make the kind of "Wenwen News" called news, but it is actually gossip.
As the time ticked for May, spring had come to an end. The splendid cherry blossoms that bloom all over Hakurei Shrine have also withered.
Accompanying Reimu to clean the courtyard of the shrine, Chen An and Reimu sat in the corridor, leisurely drinking morning tea, and chatting casually.
"Well~The days of leisurely and comfortable are really high~"
First of all, it seemed that the old man who had gone through vicissitudes and was about to die sighed, and Lingmeng began to complain to Chen An.
"Chen An. Why are more and more people coming to my place to worship now, but the sesame oil money at the shrine is still so little? ”
Chen An touched his chin and thought for a moment, and then gave the reason to the point.
"You're born poor!"
Reimu: "......"
Her previous expression was like this=_=, and her current expression is like this╰_╯.
"Who do you say is born poor and wants to die!"
Chen An looked left and right curiously.
"Is there anyone else here besides me and you?"
"Die, bastard!"
Lingmeng was annoyed and angry, and threw the imperial coin on the ground at Chen An's face in one fell swoop.
"Hehe, I was poked to death, and I was angry, right?"
Chen An smiled, reached out and grabbed the imperial coin thrown by Lingmeng, and put it beside him.
Reimu became even more popular, put down the cup, and rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to do something.
"Who do you say was poked to death and angry? In the nonsense, believe it or not I'm beating you! ”
Fierce woman!
Chen An muttered in his heart and waved his hand.
"Okay, don't say it, I just don't say it."
Lingmeng snorted, and then lowered his sleeves and dismissed his plan to beat Chen An.
She glared at Chen An fiercely.
"Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"
"Hey, hey."
Chen An was not afraid of Lingmeng's intimidation at all, he made a perfunctory sound, and after talking to Lingmeng twice, he suddenly felt bored.
Reimu didn't feel anything, but she and Chen An began to complain again.
"Chen An, when will you give me the money, the shrine is almost too poor to open the pot."
Chen An pouted.
"Come on, you don't have to buy anything to eat, how can you be so poor that you can't open the pot, am I as easy to deceive as Lumia and Qiluno?"
When it comes to money, Reimu comes to the spirit.
She was clever and tried to persuade Chen An to pay for it.
"You don't have to buy what you eat, but other things are different.
Like the white paper for drawing runes, the oil for oil lamps, and sometimes the clothes are torn, and I have to mend them with a needle and thread, and I have to prepare all those things myself. ”
Chen An pouted again and unceremoniously debunked Reimeng.
"Don't talk nonsense, when I don't know anything? Those things you said are obviously taken for nothing, okay? ”
He despised it.
"Every time I know to ask Lin Zibai for something, you are not ashamed, I am ashamed for you!"
Reimu's expression froze, and she became angry again. She unceremoniously pushed the problem onto Chen An, and blamed him aggressively.
"Whose fault do you think that's going to happen! It's not that you never give money, otherwise I wouldn't buy things and not give money?
No kidding! I'm not so nasty! ”
"It's cheeky."
Chen An kindly prompted, and laughed:
"I have the face to say this kind of thing, but I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not thick-skinned, hehe, it's really a contradiction."
was actually picked on a sick sentence, and Reimu was a little dull.
In addition, she was sarcastically ridiculed by Chen An, and her face was even more gloomy.
Looking at Chen An angrily, she suddenly wanted to beat someone again.
Chen Ancai didn't bother to pay attention to whether Lingmeng had a light on his face, whether he wanted to beat him. Anyway, I have to talk to her for three days, and I haven't lost a few times, so I'm used to her thunderous appearance.
Clapping his hands, Chen An stood up from the corridor and walked into the room from Reimeng's side.
Reimu was very upset.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
"It's just boring, let's make a lamp in your room. You are cheeky enough to go to Lin Zibai to ask for something.
It just so happens that the oil lamp is abandoned, and the shrine can be safer, so I'm not afraid of accidentally having a fire.
And then there's ......"
Chen An turned his head and smiled at Lingmeng.
"Add some light to the shrine, the oil lamp is so dim, sometimes it's inconvenient to draw talismans at night, right?"
"You're cheeky, you're the fire, crow's mouth."
Lingmeng muttered twice, then waved his hand and motioned for Chen An to hurry up and get to work.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't get in the way in front of me, or I'll really be tempted to beat you crow's mouth."
Chen An shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, and entered the room alone.
It's not difficult to add lights to the shrine, to be precise, it's very simple.
However, unlike Moriya Shrine, it is not located in Mt. Yokai, so it is not possible to install electric lights at Hakurei Shrine.
Therefore, the lamp that Chen An added to the shrine was not an electric light.
Considering the needs of the lamp, that is, convenient, simple, and trouble-free, Chen An quickly had an idea.
Then he took out the props, and he sat down on the floor and got to work.
said that he wanted Chen An not to be an eyesore in front of him, but Lingmeng followed him in.
She leaned forward slightly, standing behind Chen An, her long green silk hair as smooth as water poured down and landed on Chen An's shoulder.
Reimu looked at the stone-like thing in his hand and was curious.
"Now, what are you doing, a stone?"
"Sort of, it's a glowing stone called Shine."
Chen An responded casually, and suddenly looked back at Lingmeng.
"By the way, what shape of lamp do you want?"
Because it was too close, Chen An almost kissed Lingmeng's face when he turned around.
And the breath, the heat seemed to be coming out of the ears.
His face turned red, and Reimu hurriedly walked away. sat next to Chen An.
She pretended to be calm and said:
"What, can this stone still be deformed?"
Chen An keenly noticed the unnaturalness of Reimeng's speech, but after thinking about it, he decided not to know.
He tossed the sparkle in his hand.
"Originally, I couldn't, but now I can."
"Huh?"
Lingmeng was stunned for a moment, and then Chen An gave Yingyao to her.
"Whatever shape you like, pinch it yourself, I'll make you lunch first, and I'll call me when it's ready."
Chen An said with a smile, and got up and went to the kitchen.
"Hey, didn't you do it yourself? Actually threw it at me, what a lazy guy. ”
Reimu muttered as she began to pinch Yingyao with interest.
Originally, I thought that Yingyao was a stone that should be harder, but after pinching it twice, I found that the hardness was about the same as plasticine.
Not only that, but Reimu also found that if Yingyao was separated, the small part would still levitate around the large part, as if there was no gravity, which was very magical.
This kind of discovery made Reimu pinch Yingyao more and more energetic.
Just when Lingmeng was pinching plasticine like a child, pinching Yingyao's strength, Chen An in the kitchen suddenly poked his head out.
"Reimu, do you want to eat ramen? How about making ramen for you at noon? ”
Reimu was playing happily, and she didn't lift her head.
"Whatever, you can do it if you like."
"Oh, what a child."
Smiling and shaking his head, Chen An went back to the kitchen to get busy.
……
When Chen An finally made lunch and walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of steaming ramen that made people feel like their index fingers were moving at the first smell, Reimu's shape for Yingyao had already been constructed.
It's a cute beckoning cat with a lot of copper coins floating around it—of course, they're fake, brown copper coins made of Yingyao.
Placing the pinched beckoning cat on the ground, Reimu clapped her hands and prayed to the gods in a ritual to pray to them.
"Wealth is abundant, please bless me with wealth and prosperity."
Putting the ramen on the table, Chen An looked at Reimu's pious appearance and really smiled dumbly.
"Hey, you're a shrine maiden, and it's really okay to pray to the lamp instead of praying to the gods enshrined in the shrine?"
Although Reimu turned Yingyao into a beckoning cat, in fact, that beckoning cat was still a lamp!
Reimu glanced at Chen An and waved his hand disdainfully, not taking the gods of the shrine seriously at all.
"Come on, that guy doesn't work at all. How many times have I begged her, but I am still so poor, so I should not waste my time praying to her. ”
Silent for two seconds for the god who was angry and thunderous because of Reimeng's unscrupulousness, Chen An smiled very brightly.
"But the problem is, it's useless for you to pray to this cat, it's just a lamp."
It's just a lamp...... It's just a lamp...... It's just a lamp......
Reimu, who had planned to continue praying, was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his body froze suddenly.
yes, this thing is just a lamp, it's useless!
In an instant, Reimu was defeated by the cruel reality and became depressed.
Chen An laughed, and didn't continue to fight Reimeng, he patted her on the shoulder.
"Okay, the frustration will continue later, so let's eat first.
Didn't you read a book (travel brochure) I picked up from the neighborhood two days ago and wanted to eat the specialty ramen introduced above? I made it for you today. ”
"I don't want you to be verbose."
With a deflated mouth, Reimu angrily slapped the beckoning cat flat.
"Something that cheats on my feelings, go to death!"
Saying that he would kill the beckoning cat, Reimu walked away in a huff and went to eat ramen.
Chen An shook his head helplessly, and he didn't expect Reimu to continue to make any good lights.
Now it's a beckoning cat, who knows what he'll do later, don't be a god of wealth and come out as a lamp to be funny!
With a wave of his hand, Yingyao, who was pitifully flattened by Reimeng, instantly changed his appearance, from the original shape of more than a dozen copper coins surrounding the large stone cake in the middle into countless tiny individuals.
Like a star, countless tiny rays of light floated in the air around the slightly larger crescent-shaped glow in the middle.
Then with a flick of her finger upward, Yingyao flew up quickly, finally staying a little closer to the ceiling.
Originally, I wanted to experiment with the effect of the radiant lighting, but after thinking about it, I finally decided to eat before talking.
After all, ramen doesn't taste good when it's cold.
I don't know if it's to vent my frustration before, or because the ramen is so delicious, Reimu eats it very quickly.
Eating with a stuffy head, I snorted and snorted in half to clean up the big bowl of ramen.
Putting the bowl on the table with a bang, Reimu wiped his mouth and said loudly:
"One more bowl!"
Chen An had just sat down, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, when he was stunned by Reimeng's actions.
- Eat too fast.
Lingmeng saw that Chen An didn't react, and thought that he was lazy and didn't want to move, so she was suddenly dissatisfied, she knocked on the empty bowl with chopsticks, and the sound was louder.
"Look, why don't you hurry up and fill me with another bowl, I haven't eaten yet!"
"You're really welcome."
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen An unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
After all, it was specially made for Lingmeng to eat, and she could like it, Chen An was naturally happy.
Without listening to Reimu, he went to fill a bowl for her, Chen An put down his chopsticks and pushed the bowl of ramen in front of him that had not been touched to Reimeng.
"Come, take it and eat it."
Lingmeng didn't know how to write the word polite at all, or that he wouldn't be polite to Chen An at all.
As soon as she snatched the bowl, she continued to eat.
Chen An didn't care, just supported his chin with one hand, and smiled at Reimeng's gluttony.
Originally, Reimu wanted to gluttonize like before, and solve the ramen in three or two.
However, I don't know if it was unnatural to be looked at by Chen An, and I felt that I had lost my image like that, or if I had already eaten about the same, the speed of eating suddenly slowed down.
She had a few ramen sticks in her mouth, and glanced at Chen An with slanted eyes, looking a little unhappy.
"Hey, what do you see, don't hurry up to lunch. Don't you feel hungry if you just watch and don't eat? ”
Chen An shrugged.
"Well, I want to eat it, but I don't have to."
"Huh?"
Reimu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sucked the ramen into his mouth, suspicious.
"What do you mean by that, what do you mean that you don't have to eat, is there nothing in it?"
"yes, because the ramen is freshly cooked, so I only made two servings."
Chen An pointed to the ramen in front of Reimu and smiled slightly.
"Well, aren't you still eating my portion? Seeing that you are so happy eating, you must be quite appetizing, right? ”
"It's okay, the soup tastes pretty good."
As she spoke, Reimu suddenly pushed the ramen that she had eaten two bites to Chen An again.
"I'm full, you can take the rest and eat it."
Chen An was slightly stunned and did not accept it.
"Forget it, you can eat it yourself, I'm not too hungry, if I'm really hungry, I'll do it later."
He tried to push the bowl back up, but found that it wouldn't work.
Lingmeng made a tiger face and stuffed the chopsticks in his hand to Chen An, with a very tough attitude.
"Don't be verbose, I said you will eat if you want you to eat, do you want me to beat you!"
As if she was afraid that Chen An would not believe it, she also waved her fist.
"Fierce woman."
Chen An muttered quietly, but was heard by the Lingmeng at the tip of his ear.
She slapped the table angrily.
"What are you muttering! Believe it or not, I really slapped you to death! ”
Chen An laughed dryly.
"Nothing, nothing, just a prayer before eating."
Reimu squinted.
"Pray before eating, how did I not know you had this habit?"
Chen An was in danger, and said awe-inspiringly:
"Just now!"
Shameless guy.
Reimu's squint even more.
She waved her hand, and she didn't bother to brush her mouth with Chen An again.
"Don't be verbose, eat quickly, or I'll really beat you."
"Hey, hey."
Chen An smiled and responded, and then started.
Although he ate the leftovers that Reimeng ate, Chen An didn't care about it, and still ate it cleanly.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Chen Anha put the empty bowl on the table with a sound.
He sighed.
"Sure enough, it's my craft, and it tastes really good."
Reimu snorted, his expression very disdainful.
"It should be said that it is worthy of you, you are really cheeky and narcissistic!"
Although he was despised, Chen An has always had a ability, that is, to listen to bad words as good words.
This time was no exception, feeling that he had been praised, he suddenly became triumphant.
"It's easy to say, but being reserved and having a strong ability to appreciate yourself has always been the most proud quality besides handsomeness and integrity."
Reimu: "......"
Handsome and upright?
Lingmeng was cold, and he was instantly defeated by Chen An's shamelessness.
It's easy to say that you're handsome, but it's honest, it's okay to say you're upright!?
It's like wearing thin clothes in the middle of winter, and then pouring a basin of ice water on his body, and Reimu shivered all over his body.
Hiss ~ It's cold, it's cold.
In order to prevent someone from refreshing the world's most brazen three views again, or even being coldly killed by him, Reimu rubbed his arms and decisively changed the topic.
She turned her head to look and asked:
"Where's the lamp, where is the lamp you made for me before?"
Chen An pointed to his head.
"Oh, above."
Reimu looked up and saw the little crescent-shaped thing.
Her eyes widened, and her hands gestured with excitement.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Wasn't it quite big before, but how did it suddenly become so small?
And what about the copper coins? Where have all the copper coins gone! ”
Those surrounding individuals were too small, Reimu didn't notice it, she just found that the copper coins she had worked so hard to make were gone!
Chen An: "......"
He's got black lines all over his head.
Damn, I still care about this at this time, it's really worth asking for money!
Too lazy to answer seriously, Chen An said casually:
"Scattered."
"Scattered, what do you mean!?"
Knowing what to think, Reimu was furious, slapped the table hard, and stood up on his knees.
She stared at Chen An condescendingly, like a beast that had been robbed of food, and her eyes were extremely dangerous.
"Did you scatter my money!? What do you think of me, you bastard!?
Tell you! Hurry up and get back the money I've worked so hard to get back, or I'll beat you up believe it or not!? ”
Chen An: "......"
He almost didn't jump up and slapped Reimu's face into the bowl to cover it!
"Fortune boy? You, a dead poor ghost who was born poor, still want to be a fortune boy? Don't be too arrogant!
And that money, isn't that what you dislike to shoot off! ”
"Nonsense!"
Reimu slapped the table again, and the force shook the table, and the two pairs of chopsticks jumped twice, and almost didn't let the empty bowl on the table turn over!
"Don't you know that the old lady is dead and wants money! Dare to say that I hate money, what are your intentions! Do you want to ruin the reputation of the old lady? ”
"Ha, you actually took your bad reputation for dying and asking for money as a reputation, you are really amazing!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and return the old lady's money!"
Sure enough, it's a reimu, and when you encounter something related to money, you can increase your combat power a few times.
sighed in his heart, Chen An didn't bother to explain, but chose to speak with facts.
Syllable!
First, he snapped his fingers to make the light in the room disappear, blocking out the sunlight falling from outside the hallway, and darkening the whole room until he couldn't see his fingers, and then he let out a soft snort.
"Radiance—star."
Just after Chen An recited the incantation, something wonderful happened, and the bright light suddenly radiated.
As night falls, the stars are dotted with stars, and countless stars form a small piece of brilliant starry sky on the ceiling, and a faint starlight falls to dispel the deep darkness in the room.
Looking up, the intricate stars swirled in the night sky, regular and seemingly irregular. When it is dizzying, it seems to make people come to another world in the blink of an eye.
It's beautiful—thrilling!
And the light is not strong, not warm, just faint, soft like real starlight.
"It's ...... Stars? ”
I don't know what emotions are surging in my heart, Reimu is like returning to her innocent childhood, looking at the stars that are close at hand, she can't help but reach out her hand, as if she wants to grab them.
"It looks like it, and it's so close......"
Chen An smiled and recited the incantation again.
"Radiance—Moon."
With the appearance of the moon, which had previously been hidden, the starry sky became more and more beautiful.
The moon hangs in the night sky, the most obvious one, and the most beautiful one.
Like a cold and noble girl, she lowered her head, above the night sky, looking at the earth reservedly and calmly, speechless, but the beauty surpassed all the stars around her.
The stars and the moon are peerless, and it is nothing more than that.
With the appearance of the peerless girl, the light in the room, which was originally only faint, rose several brightness.
Brighter than the light of the clearest full moon, enough to see everything in the dark.
And the light is still not strong, not warm, still faint, soft and like real moonlight.
It's just that compared to before, the gentle moonlight seems to bring a slightly cool temperature.
When it falls on the body, it penetrates the body in the blink of an eye, making the mind calm and peaceful.
Reimu was speechless, her eyes were misty, and she seemed to be stupid.
"Really...... Beautiful~"
Chen An was very satisfied with Lingmeng's gesture, because it showed that she liked it.
Fingers tap lightly on the tabletop.
Bang.
A soft sound shook like thunder at this moment, not only awakening Reimu from his distraction, but also causing the night here to fade suddenly, and the light returned to normal.
Upon discovering this, Reimu was stunned and grabbed her hand on the table, as if she wanted to pick up the cup, but found that she had missed it.
She was stunned, and then there was an extra hand in front of her.
It was Chen An, seeing that Lingmeng seemed to want to drink tea, so he brought in the tea set outside the corridor.
Pouring tea for the empty cup and putting down the teapot, Chen An handed the cup to Reimu.
"Drink."
Reimu took the cup, her slender fingers brushed the back of Chen An's hand, and the different temperature was transmitted from the skin, like lightning into her heart, trembling, she turned into a stone and fell, stirring up layers of waves.
Quietly withdrawing his hand, Reimu took a sip of tea, and as the faint bitterness with the fragrance of tea turned into sweetness and reverberated in his mouth, his inexplicably excited heart slowly regained its calm.
With a touching smile on her face, she said:
"It's a beautiful view."
"If you like it."
Chen An winked at Lingmeng and poured himself tea.
The two of them drank tea without saying a word, and a faint sense of warmth suddenly brewed here.
Chen An is an atmosphere killer, but that also depends on the situation, anyway, if nothing else, he has always been reluctant to kill this kind of comfortable atmosphere.
With the gentleness and tolerance as always, and there seemed to be an extra tone that made his heart soft, Chen An suddenly opened his mouth.
"Reimu, what I showed you before are the two methods that Luminous uses.
The former is not well lit, so you can use it as a decoration or for meditation.
As for the latter, I guess I don't have to say anything more, right? ”
Ling Meng lowered his eyelids and hummed softly, and Chen An said again.
"Oh, yes. In fact, the light emitted by Yingyao itself is extremely bright, but I was afraid that it would be too dazzling, so I made it become what it is now.
If you feel that the light is not bright enough, it is okay to brighten it before the star moon of the spell.
That way, the light will be brightened and can be repeated all the time as long as it doesn't reach its limit. ”
Lingmeng still didn't say much, but took the cup in his left hand and put it in the palm of his right hand, whispered, and smiled at Chen An.
The wind blew into the house from the outside at some point, lifting up the green threads on Reimu's forehead.
With a smile, the indescribable warmth diffused in the eyes, and then appeared in the slightly curved eyebrows, appeared in the faintly folded Qiong's nose, appeared in the corners of Xu Xu's curled lips, and finally diffused into the cup, making the calm water surface ripple gently.
This scene is really picturesque, peaceful and beautiful - amazing!
In this case, it really couldn't make people continue to say more, so Chen An smiled at Lingmeng in return, and then banned again, enjoying the warmth and peace.
……
Time is as warm as water, always passing quietly, leaving no trace.
As time passes, the subtle atmosphere becomes more and more subtle.
The tea set has long been put away, and the empty bowl on the table has long been put away.
Holding the latest issue of "Wenwen News", Chen An hid his legs in the kotatsu and was reading quietly.
"Wenwen News" has always been very lively and interesting, so he will hook the corners of his mouth from time to time and chuckle.
And across from him, Reimu has her own business.
That is to make a talisman.
As a shrine maiden of Hakurei, Reimu has always regarded punishing adultery and eliminating evil, protecting Gensokyo, and protecting the peace of the world as her unshirkable responsibility.
For the sake of her own arduous and great responsibility, Reimu, a hakurei shrine maiden with a strong sense of mission, has always worked tirelessly.
For example, whenever I have time, I will draw ghost charms...... Ah, no, it's a talisman to prepare for the unexpected situation that may arise in the future, that will hinder her great mission to punish adultery, protect Gensokyo, and protect world peace...... Just read these words seriously!
Anyway, Reimu will never say that the reason why she often makes spirit runes is just because she has nothing to do, and occasionally solves mutations, and when she cleans up the monsters that are not long-eyed, the spirit runes are consumed quickly, and the talismans made by the spirit runes are more popular, so she will draw the runes whenever she has time.
Originally, it was supposed to be painted at night, but now that I feel in a good mood, it's rare to be diligent.
After reading one side, Chen An flipped the newspaper over, and then shook it, shaking the folds of the newspaper.
He glanced at Reimu and returned his gaze to the newspaper.
"Now, Reimu. Have you been playing with Purple and Marisa lately? ”
Holding a special ink, Reimu concentrates on making the runes.
Holding a brush in his right hand, he writes the charm on the blank rune paper in one go, and then instills spiritual power, and a usable spirit rune is made.
Placing the finished talisman on top of the old high talisman that had been stacked on the side, Reimu took out a blank talisman paper and put it on the table.
"No, Zi recently discovered with no conscience that she has rarely come to eat white food during this time.
Marisa had seen it two days ago, but it didn't seem to be in a good mood. ”
She glanced at Chen An.
"What, is she still messing around with you?"
"If only that were the case~"
The corners of Chen An's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to continue on this matter, so he shifted the topic to Reimeng's mouth, and Zi who was discovered by his conscience.
"Sleepy in spring, lack in autumn, sleepy in summer. Reimu, it seems that you will be able to relax for a while in the future. ”
It's only early May, and there are still a month or two before the summer comes, so Chen An said this.
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Reimu paused, but fortunately he hadn't started drawing yet, otherwise this rune would have been invalidated.
Chen An smiled slightly.
"It's simple. It's the time of spring sleepiness, autumn and summer sleepiness, and Zi is hiding in the realm of Gen.
There is still some time before summer, so I said that you have some leisure. ”
Reimu: "......"
With a shake of her hand, the brush poked at the rune paper.
It's too late to regret that the rune paper is invalid, and Reimu is very staggering.
"Sleepy in spring, lack of sleep in autumn, drowsiness, and hibernation, purple won't want to sleep for a whole year this year, right?"
Chen An shrugged.
"Who knows, if she doesn't want to toss people, then probably will."
He turned his head to look at the courtyard, and the sunlight was shining in his vision, like passing through water, and the dazzling gold seemed unusually soft.
Chen An smiled.
"Hey, I suddenly found that the sunshine is good, it seems to be a suitable day to go out."
Reimu pursed her lips, removed the invalid rune paper, and continued to make the rune.
"I'm going to go by myself, I'm too lazy to run around if it's okay."
"Alas, it's really no fun ...... life"
Chen An shook his head and sighed, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden guest.
Dropping down in the middle of the courtyard and putting down the sprouted broom in the hallway, Marisa ran into the shrine.
She shouted cheerfully.
"Yo~! Reimu, your dear friend, Marisa Kiriyu has come to play with you! ”
Because of Marisa's sudden interruption, the rune was scrapped again.
Reimu pursed her lips and couldn't help but mutter.
"It's really troublesome, and trouble is coming. Troublesome guy came to the door. ”
Marisa sat at the table, as if she wanted to hide her legs in the warm kotatsu like Reimu and Chen An, but after hesitating for a moment, she looked at Chen An again, but she didn't do that in the end.
With a slight movement, Marisa sat down next to Reimu.
Like a boy, she put her arms around Reimu's shoulders affectionately.
"Reimu, this attitude towards my best friend is very hurtful~"
"Are you going to be sad? Fool whom. ”
Reimu pouted and slapped Marisa's hand away. Bow your head and start making runes.
"Don't bother me, I still have to make spirit runes, if it's really boring, let Chen An play with you."
"Chen An?"
Marisa was stunned, and seemed to have just discovered Chen An on the side.
She scratched her head, still grinning, but her tone seemed to be a little distant.
"So you're here too. I haven't seen you for a few days, how have you been living lately? ”
Chen An frowned slightly, then smiled again.
"It's okay. What about you? ”
"Of course."
Marisa smiled heartily and put her hand on Reimu's shoulder again.
"If it's not going well. Do you think I'll come back to Reimu again? ”
As soon as the Reimu rune was finished, before the pen could be collected, it was put on Marisa's shoulder, and then the brush stroked, and the rune was scrapped again.
The corners of her eyebrows jumped, and a sudden elbow blow caused Marisa to clutch her stomach in pain.
"Oops, Reimu, why are you beating people, it hurts!"
"Whoever made you make trouble, you deserve it!"
Reimu snorted, took out the blank rune paper and wrote trouble on it, and pressed it hard, sticking it to Marisa's forehead.
"As soon as I came, I wasted three rune papers, so let me reflect on it."
Marisa was lying on the ground with her stomach covered and couldn't get up, and she still had rune paper on her forehead, looking really embarrassed.
"Hey, don't spray people with blood, it's only two, okay?"
Reimu sneered.
"Two, isn't the one on your head?"
Write another stupid and stick it on Marisa's face.
"Now, it's four."
Marisa: "......"
Chen An couldn't stand it anymore.
"Reimu, just say a few words, do you need to be so stumbling?
Marisa, are you alright? Do you want me to show you? ”
Putting down the newspaper, he got up and walked over to Marisa.
Marisa sat up from the ground, her face still a little pale, but she waved her hand to open Chen An's outstretched hand.
"No, no. I didn't have anything to do, just joking with Reimu. ”
Ignoring Chen An, who was frozen there, Marisa took off the rune paper on her face and continued to pester.
Reimu was so annoyed by Marisa that she put down the brush in her hand.
She looked at Chen An and Marisa strangely.
"What's wrong with you, why are you all so weird?"
Reimu's intuition is very keen, so he immediately notices that something is wrong with the two.
One who has lost his usual casualness and feels constrained.
The other pretends to be natural, but it feels extremely unnatural.
It's like she has been ignoring and not caring about Chen An, and it seems to be taken for granted.
But the question is, where would a normal Marisa treat Chen An like this, and the result is not a matter of course, but inexplicable.
The more you pretend not to care, the more you feel more concerned, probably Marisa.
"Delusion, your delusion."
Marisa smiled awkwardly, and Chen An also withdrew his hand and touched his nose unnaturally.
It's okay not to explain, but once I explain Reimu, I confirm my opinion even more.
She squinted at Marisa, who was shrinking unnaturally, and her eyes wandered, trying not to let her eyes stay on Chen An's Marisa.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing? Why did you say that you hadn't seen each other for a few days, did you run back to the Enchanted Forest? ”
In the past half month, the Red Devil Pavilion has not held a single banquet, and Reimu has not been to the Red Devil Pavilion once.
Plus that incident is really unspeakable, so except for Misuzu and Sakiya, who were there that night, plus the three parties involved, no one knows the truth.
Reimu, of course, is no exception.
Marisa bowed her head and was silent, but Chen An opened her mouth to explain.
"Hey, nothing. It's only when Mei comes back that Marisa goes back to the Enchanted Forest. ”
The unfamiliar name diverted Reimu's attention.
"Ah Mei, who is that?"
Marisa muffled in response.
"My master, a master whom I respect as much as my mother. It's the person who came with me at the last Meirenji banquet. ”
Marisa's description of the succubus made Chen An's expression complicated, and he turned his face away and sighed softly.
Reimu frowned, as if he was thinking, and suddenly hammered his hand, and suddenly realized.
"Oh~! Is it the woman called the succubus? ”
"She's my master, call her Succubus."
Marisa emphasized, and not only her voice, but also her expression became dull.
"That's right."
Lingmeng glanced at Chen An and snorted.
"Tsk, I actually called Master Marisa A-Mei. Chen An, you can really get along with anyone. ”
Marisa's expression became more and more dull, and Chen An's smile was also subtlely complicated.
"Who makes fate so complicated?"
Laughing at himself in a tone that Lingmeng didn't understand, Chen An stood up.
"Suddenly I remembered that there was something else, so I went first.
You and Marisa have a good time, and I wish you all a good time. ”
Smiling at Reimu and Marisa, Chen An left the shrine.
Watching Chen An's back disappear from the torii gate to the stairs, Marisa clenched her fists fiercely, and her nails seemed to be about to puncture her palms.
The more you pretend to care, the more you actually care.
After thinking that he was the master's husband several times, Marisa's clenched fists relaxed.
She looked like she was doing nothing, and laughed and quarreled with Reimu.
