24 Remilia's unwillingness
There weren't too many pleasantries, and he said his intentions straight to the point.
"I'm here to find Marisa Kiriyu, but this is the Red Devil Pavilion, so it would be rude not to report it to the master."
Thinking of Alice's request, his handsome face, which was originally full of heroic spirit, couldn't help but be depressed.
Relationship problems...... He's a tough guy.
"yes, I've got it. Of course your wish can be granted."
"Thank you so much."
"Hum ......"
For some reason, after hearing Feili's sincere thanks, Remilia snorted dissatisfiedly.
Fei Li didn't have any surprises, because he could feel that this dissatisfaction was not directed at him. And the other party's next words also prove it.
"You're so much better than that apprentice magician and the red and white witch...... In terms of etiquette."
"No, wait a minute, I know exactly what Marisa's nature is. However, the Shrine Maiden ......."
Marisa's out-of-the-box personality really doesn't need to be repeated, and the adjective polite is almost insulated from her. In this case, it is not unusual for her to cause trouble to others, and Fei Li understands this very well.
However, the words of Hakurei Reimu ...... He didn't know.
For some reason, he is not particularly familiar with this generation of shrine maidens.
"It's okay not to say it, but I'll get angry when I say it! The Violent Shrine Maiden...... Is there a shrine maiden who is particularly good at fist and foot kung fu?"
Remilia's rhetorical question was reasonable. However, in the perverse Gensokyo, this doesn't seem particularly surprising.
"That's what Hirori Shrine Maiden is."
Generations of Boli witches have a lot of experience in physical arts, although the current generation is the most talented, but because of the young age, it is the weakest in the past dynasties in terms of physical arts.
"Miss Remilia, you definitely don't know the original Hakurei shrine maiden, she is really powerful———— compared to the current Hakurei shrine maiden, she is still very weak."
More than 500 years ago, it happened to be an era of war and chaos. For youkai, Gensokyo at that time was simply heaven.
The negative emotions of humans can be strengthened by youkai, and the restless mental state can easily lead to fear. In this land that has not yet become a fantasy paradise, youkai are rampant.
The shrine maiden, who is not yet a Hakurei shrine maiden, fulfills her duty, and she meticulously retreats from the youkai.
Although there are many youkai, thankfully, that shrine maiden is undoubtedly a person who was born with "power". Her fists contain the spiritual power to destroy evil spirits, and even the act of just putting on a stand itself has a powerful power to purify evil spirits.
The first generation of shrine maidens in that more brutal era is obviously not comparable to the Hakurei Reimu in Gensokyo now.
"Are all Hirori shrinemaidens monsters......
After hearing Fei's words, Remilia was visibly stunned. Then he reluctantly picked up his teacup and took a sip gently.
The dark liquid that also smelled of tea was honestly contained in the teacup in front of Fei Li, but with his keen observation, he found that Remilia's tea was mixed with something else.
It was some kind of darker liquid...... Thinking of this girl's race, what is it is already coming out.
Suddenly there was no more tea drinker, but originally, now he has more important things to do than drinking tea.
"I can't assume I didn't hear that...... The Witch of the Porie is no monster."
Now Fei's expression was completely different from the seriousness just now, which made Remilia have to look sideways a little.
It is not majesty, but the smallness, absolute transcendence of oneself.
I couldn't help but realize again that the man in front of me was really an unfathomable guy.
"The Hakurei shrine maidens I know, although they may be a little strange in terms of personality, I think they are undoubtedly good people with good and honest integrity."
"Maybe you're right, they're not monsters, but ...... A good person with kindness and integrity? That Hakurei Reimu has completely changed my impression of the word shrine maiden, okay?"
For Feili's statement, Remilia also has something that cannot be compromised. She put down the ceramic teacup in her hand, as if intending to argue with him.
"My spear has come back again and again in front of her...... Is that something that humans can do?"
Thinking of that scene, Remilia's face couldn't help but turn pale.
Her own offensive did not gain any advantage, and the opponent was still a human, so how could she accept it with strong self-esteem?
Remilia's heartfelt reluctance to be noticed by Feili.
"Could it be that you have a bad impression of the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei because...... Are you still haunting your failures?"
He waited for the vampire girl's answer.
"I lost...... By the time I competed for that spell card, I had already lost. However, when it comes to real battles...... I didn't get the upper hand either."
I don't want to admit it, but that's the way it is. The fact that she has spent 500 years is no better than a teenage girl is undoubtedly a great boost to her self-esteem, but if she denies this fact, she will lose even the minimum of dignity.
If she fails, Remilia will witness her end with dignity in the manner of the head of the Scarlett family, instead of deceiving herself like an ostrich.
"Losing is losing, there's nothing to say. But...... I'd like to fight that guy again."
With a slight reluctance in her voice, Remilia said.
"This time, I'm sure I'll win."
If I do it again, I'll win!
The girl who made such a declaration at this time,In Feili's eyes,Unexpectedly has a childishness that matches her appearance.。 Being obsessed with absolute victory or defeat is indeed very much like a child's behavior.
However, there is one thing that Fei Li feels cannot be ignored. From Remilia's demeanor, he came to a conclusion that was probably very funny.
"You, aren't you actually a nymphomaniac with Reimu Hakura?"
The words that were too ridiculous came into my ears suddenly, and when Remilia realized what the other party actually meant, it was already two or three seconds later.
"What are you kidding? Am I like I'm a nymphomaniac?!"
Anger that almost made her unable to help herself welled up from the bottom of her heart, and she slammed up from her chair, making a loud "bang" as her body collided with the round table.
"You guy...... Stop talking nonsense there! I just want to compete with that human again!"
"That's right, I see."
Looking at the vampire who denied it loudly, Feili nodded indifferently. Such a crisp attitude made Remilia feel like she was punching in cotton.
"It's good to know, don't talk nonsense there."
With that, Remilia sat down. When she was back on the soft seat, she suddenly became embarrassed again.
In any case, the overreaction just now is unjustifiable.
Fortunately, Feili didn't hold on to this.
"I want to compete with Hakurei Reimu again...... That's good. Miss Remilia, you can go to the shrine to find her. Maybe after a new round of competition, you can have a new understanding of both sides."
Laughing at the speed with which she said this, Remilia scoffed at it.
"I don't know each other yet, what age is this, who will use this old routine............ Huh?"
Fei's calm gaze made Remilia's voice lower and lower. She suddenly realized that she and this generation of Hakurei witches, Hakurei Reimu is a complete "no fight, no acquaintance".
"Ahhh......hhh That's enough! Aren't you going to find that apprentice magician? Go ahead then. Sakiya will show you the way."
Explicit eviction order, but Feili didn't mean to be angry at all. Because Remilia's appearance was a bit of an annoyed little girl, and as an elder who had lived for more than a thousand years, he didn't even have the strength to do so.
"Since you said so, then I'll be as good as I am."
Standing up crisply, he threw his hand at Remilia. Then he turned and walked towards the gate from which he came.
Looking at the figure of Fei Li's departure, the vampire girl's teeth itched with hatred. I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always thinks that Fei's smile is very hateful.
But it's hateful———— since the fight, Remilia likes to run to the Hakurei Shrine when it's okay.
As for Reimu, who is furious because the shrine is already unattended, and the fact that it has become even more deserted due to the arrival of Remilia, that's another story.
