"Such a sky.................. It's not like that."

Looking at the blood-colored sky, the reporter lady of Monster Mountain gave such an evaluation.

"Hmph, in that case, we might as well turn around and go back, and investigate something."

"How is that possible? I'm just saying, I can't stand it if Gensokyo's sky is like this forever."

Walking around this blood-red world is certainly an interesting trip for youkai, but not for humans.

"It's you, Feili, why are you interested in this?"

"It's boring.................. At home, in addition to practicing, I play games with Hui Ye, the former is okay, at least I'll never get tired, but the latter..................

At this point, the voice suddenly stopped, and there was a meaning that everything was unspoken.

Needless to say, the two who spoke were the ones who had left the Monster Mountain, and now they were flying over Gensokyo with extraordinary strength.

"It's really hard for you to have a neet at home..................

"No, it's nothing; I just wish the kid could go out for a walk once in a while."

Heartfelt words, but unfortunately someone at home probably won't hear it.

"Then again, Shotimaru .................."

As soon as the conversation changed, Fei Li suddenly shifted the topic to an unknown direction, which made Shotimaru a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?"

"Why do I feel like I'm being fooled.................. Clever you, can you explain it to me?"

The voice, which was not inappropriate just now, suddenly revealed an obvious unkindness, which made Shotimaru Wen immediately break out in a cold sweat.

"What, explain what?"

Even talking is a little stumbling, and she is really far from her usual eloquent tongue, and the nervousness in Shotmaruwen's heart can be imagined.

Heaven is pitiful, although the strength of the Shooting Pill is probably second only to the level below the Great Youkai -- but the power of Feili is the highest level even among the Great Youkai.

He doesn't have any special attributes, and he's not as unpredictable as the monster sage, he's just plain powerful.

However, the purer the thing, the harder it is to find the weakness, and it is very easy to defeat Feili, but it is extremely difficult - you just need to be stronger than him.

Shooting Pill Wen has no doubt that if it really fights, I am afraid that even ten of himself will be able to clean it up with one hand in front of Fei Li.

"The so-called equivalent exchange, at least the things exchanged by the two sides should be similar in value."

The tone was flat and straightforward, without any ups and downs, but the dark sky made a shadow on Fei's face, which made that rare handsome face also gloomy and terrifying.

"But what you told me and what I paid for it, I don't feel the same price. Say, am I right? Wenwen."

"Haha, ha, is that so?"

Laughing dryly, the Shooting Pill Wen Mo, who knew that he was in a bad mood, replied in a two-way manner.

――――Fei Li ran to Youkai Mountain to ask for information about this mutation, and Shotmei Maru agreed.

It's just that there is a price.

The price is to let Feili, after listening to the information, go with her to investigate this mutation.

And Fei Li agreed.

As for why the conversation in front of us is happening

"What kind of you're telling me! I still need you to tell me those things!"

That's right, Shotimaru did tell him the information, but ―――――― like when did the red mist appear and what effect it had on humans and youkai

If you don't feel this information yourself, you can't smell it if you don't just find someone.

That's all Feili gets.

And the shotgun Maruwen got a gold medal escort who could almost be said to be invincible in the world in Gensokyo--as for why it was almost, Fei Li didn't have the confidence to defeat the dragon god.

The two ends of the scales are not equal.

"I'm not buying or selling, it's entirely your own choice. Flying."

"Yes, you don't have the ability to buy and sell to me; But well."

Lengthening his voice, Fei Li's face, which was originally gloomy because of the shadows, suddenly showed a sunny smile like the sun, and he patted the shoulder of the shooting pill "kindly" and said.

"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer--I won't do anything to you--I'll just tell you'll tell youkai Mountain that their chief reporter has been injured in the line of duty and will have to go to the Forever Pavilion to recuperate for a period of time, and the time will be about three months."

"Ha, you're kidding--"

"Absolutely not."

Seconds answer.

Before he finished speaking, Shotmaru's strong smile was interrupted by this categorical answer.

"Are you serious?"

"Fake. It was all fake."

It's still a second answer.

Of course, as a friend who has known each other for thousands of years, as long as no one else is involved, even if Shotmaru proposes an unequal exchange that is more than ten times more serious than this, he can agree to it and do it.

He is a simple martial artist, although he can't be said to be pedantic, but he is also a guy who pays attention to righteousness.

"Bastard, you! Scared the hell out of me, you know?!"

"Hahahahaha, aren't you happy to fix people in that newspaper, I really want to try it. Well, just forgive me."

In the face of the reproach of the shooting pill, he let out a hearty laugh commensurate with his status as a martial artist.

However, it was indeed his fault for causing the trouble of Shotimaru Fumi, so in the end he apologized.

"You guy still hasn't changed, he looks like an upright guy on the outside, but in fact, he's unexpectedly bad-hearted."

"I don't want you to say that."

With a long sigh, Fei Li placed his arm on Tengu's shoulder, forming a typical "hook shoulder" position.

"But, Ah Wen, you really don't really have this little bit of poor information about this incident, right? If that's the case, then I should change my impression of you as Gensokyo's No. 1 reporter."

"Cut, how is that possible!"

Pushing away the hand that Fei Li had placed on his shoulder, Shotimaru changed to a confident expression.

"I have the clues, but it's a little difficult for me to do it alone--that's why I called you."

"What clue?"

"In the vicinity of the Lake of Mist, there is a mysterious Western-style mansion shrouded in fog, and if my guess is correct, this incident must be inextricably linked to that Western-style pavilion."

When it comes to her own essence, the tengu girl becomes impassioned again, but on the contrary, Fei Li is looking at her with very cold eyes.

"W-what! You look at me like that again!"

"You guessed it for a long time."

"My instinct as a journalist tells me that it must be true."

The strange gaze was cast on the shooting pill Wen, and he was quite surprised by the reporter's abnormal behavior.

"Didn't you dive in and investigate? According to your character, you will not be willing to do so without an investigation—not to say that your conscience has discovered it."

"How could it be that the conscience has found out. I've tried, but I can't sneak in at all--the entire mansion is surrounded by a very powerful and large-scale barrier, and there is no way to enter without being detected, and the main entrance is guarded by a monster that is not weak, and she won't let me in at all."

"Then you can call me in and go in?"

"Absolutely. Although that Menban monster is not particularly powerful, I know with my toes that there are people in the Western-style pavilion who are stronger than her, and it would be too disadvantageous for me to choose to solve it by force in this case--but now that I have a super master like you, I can naturally put a hundred hearts into it."

"In other words, you're asking me to give you courage?"

Faced with Feili's question, Shotimaru only responded with an ambiguous smile.

"You—"

Fei Li, who was about to open his mouth to speak, seemed to feel something, and stopped in mid-air, looking back.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Fei Li's actions, Shotmaru Wen also stopped, but also looked behind her, and she immediately understood Fei Li's behavior.

Someone was approaching from behind -- but now it should be the other side.

There is still a distance of about 100 meters, but with the extraordinary eyesight of the monster itself, Shotimaru can clearly see that it is a girl.

Pouting, Shotmaru said.

"What? Someone you know?"

"That's right."

As if to confirm the authenticity of Feili's words, the next moment, the oncoming girl shouted.

"Yo?? Flying."

"It's Marisa."

Instead of shouting like a young girl, Fei Li paused for a moment before responding--for in the short pause the other party had already come to the front.

The black clothes and the white apron may have a slightly strange taste in the costumes, but they highlight the characteristics of the girl very well - the person who came was Marisa Kiriyu.

"What, this reaction is so cold."

"I just hope you don't make such a big deal -- Alice is working hard, too."

"What are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing, you don't have to care."

Faced with the blonde girl's question, Fei Li passed by - in terms of love, he was also a bitter hand, and he couldn't help others at all.

I can only hope that the puppet envoy Miss will ask for more blessings.

"By the way, who is this?"

Pointing to the Tengu reporter next to Feili, Marisa asked curiously.

"You'll know as soon as I say it, her name is Shotimaru Wen."

"Oh, that gossip tabloid reporter."

「」

Marisa slapped her hands as if she were stunned, and in contrast to her was Shotimaru's ugly face.

If it weren't for Feili giving her a look, Miss Reporter would probably have had a seizure.

For people who don't have much friendship, she is not the smiling appearance she is now.

"Hmm, what are you doing? Are you dating?"

"Don't give it such a vulgar reason--we're investigating this change."

"You're investigating, too! Do you have any clues?"

Noticing the word "also" in Marisa's words, Fei Li couldn't help but frown.

"What are you going to do? Marisa?"

"Needless to say? Solve the mutation!"

In a tone that was taken for granted, Marisa Maiyu answered Flying Force's question.

"Forget it, we have the clues."

Halfway through his words, Fei Li suddenly changed his words.

"What is it? What is it?"

"There's a Western-style pavilion in the Lake of Mist, and the mutation should have something to do with that Western-style pavilion--"

「OK！！ Thanks, Feili."

Before Feili could finish speaking, Marisa mounted her broomstick and headed for the Lake of Mist.

"This hurried personality hasn't changed at all."

Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Feili couldn't help but sigh.

"I said, 'Who is she?' Flying."

"Marisa Misty Rain, a trainee magician in practice, although he is still a human, he is no longer inferior to ordinary magicians in terms of combat power alone."

"What's her relationship with you?"

「」

Faced with Shotimaru's question, Fei Li didn't answer, but looked at her with a strange expression.

"I'll tell you in advance, if you want to write about your pink gossip, don't get me into her relationship."

"Alas! I didn't want to write, I was just curious."

"She's my junior."

"Junior?"

Seeing that Shotimaru didn't quite understand the look, Fei Li smiled.

"I'm friends with her master."

There was no change in his complexion, but he could hear that there was an emotion called "remembrance" in his powerful words.
