Hakurei Reimu slowly lifted the Imperial Coin.

There is a gathering of demon-destroying spiritual power on it, intending to retreat from the monster in front of him.

However, in the face of the budding shrine maiden, Letty did not have any anger or even panic. She sighed softly as if she had heard a less tragic tragedy.

"You're going to get rid of me? …… Absolutely."

The attitude of the Snow Maiden Youkai...... It's almost calm.

The only thing that can be glimpsed from the drooping eyes is the calm and pure coldness, and the will to resist is completely impossible to find - the reason why her coldness is pure is only because the nature brought by being a snow maiden is completely different from the cold flames brought by hostility and hatred.

"Of course, you must be mentally prepared for me to resist to the end."

Letty Horvatrok had no idea of fighting.

Although she is a youkai, she is more like the embodiment of the spirit of winter, and although she has emotions, she is by no means as fierce as other youkai, so she rarely gets involved in disputes or fights because of passion.

But if she had to fight. Then she will accept it without changing her face. As long as it is winter, her strength should not be underestimated. She can't directly control the wind and snow, but she can affect the weather, multiplying the power of the cold winter.

…… I don't know if I should be glad or sad that Letty only appears in winter.

「…… Alas, although I also know that there is no possibility that the monster will be captured and retreated, can't there be a guy who will overturn my preconceived idea and slap me in the face?"

Hearing Letty's quiet but firm declaration, Reimu shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and said something more akin to ridicule than complaining. It's just that......

「…………？」

The Snow Maiden didn't talk. It should be said that Letty did not understand the meaning of Reimu's words at all, and although she remained silent in confusion, her pale and beautiful eyes were directly oozing with doubt.

"Ah, no, nothing...... You don't have to care, I'm stupid."

Snow Maiden tilted her head to look at her with great pity, but on the other hand, Reimu spurned her own stupidity.

At this time, she suddenly remembered Marisa's style, and at least the witty things she said would be echoed by the other party. Resisting the urge to cover her face, Reimu returns her mood to her usual state of mind.

Of course――――― it doesn't matter if you don't get a response. If you can't talk trash talk, you can't solve the mutation, and Gensokyo doesn't have such a rule.

But............

「…………」

「…… Why don't you do it yet?"

In the staggered line of sight, the two stood in the wind on the ground scattered with snowflakes. But no one moved, as if time had stood still.

Finally, Letty, who was tired of this stagnation, asked.

Reimu reacted to her words, putting down the Imperial Coin and looking away.

「…… Don't fight."

It was a completely different expression from just now, and there was no domineering expression at all. Reimu was staring at the distant sky with this detached gaze.

"What a waste of time...... While your presence does enhance the snow, if I think about it, as long as I address the source of the snow, you'll be useless."

Reimu's explanation is indeed reasonable. And being able to avoid fighting, Letty has no reason to refuse.

"I see, I avoided trouble...... I should thank you, shrine maiden."

"Hah, excuse me. Snow Maiden, if you want to thank me, why don't you tell me about this mutation."

"I'm sorry, shrine maiden. I was also confused, and when I woke up, I found that the earth had turned silver......

"I knew it."

It's really not that easy to solve the mutation, although this kind of thing has been experienced for a long time, but now Reimu can't help but sigh.

"Damn! That man knows something but doesn't say a word, this kind of tricky guy is the most hateful!"

When I think of myself, I can solve everything in front of me faster, but because of a certain guy, I fell into the predicament of spinning in place. The girl's anger is swelling in Reimu's heart.

Just before this anger swelled to a critical point――――― it was extinguished by the man's gentle voice.

"Hmm...... That's right, so that hateful man is here to solve your troubles now."

This annoying sound sounds as odious as ever...... Obviously she thought so, but she couldn't control herself from turning around and looking at him.

Looking at the smug smile on the corner of the man's mouth, Reimu's expression became stiff, in the girl's opinion, there is no guy who can provoke anger more than the guy in front of him, even Marisa is willing to bow down to him――――― maybe the monster sage can compare to him.

The hypocrites who force themselves to be ruthless, the hypocrites who maintain a noble appearance, are really a match made in heaven from a certain point of view. It's just that these two people definitely don't like to hear this kind of talk.

Reimu kept a straight face as much as she could, staring at each other with a cold gaze.

Her first question was not related to the most important mutations of the moment, but something completely unrelated.

"How did you get here all of a sudden?"

As if to say that you asked a good question, he snapped his fingers sharply and crisply. This kind of frivolous behavior is not disgusting at all on him, and it can only be attributed to his overly beautiful appearance.

"That's a good question."

In fact, Fei Li originally appeared in front of people in a dignified manner, but he once looked at Kaguya's collection of external paintings, and in one of the works, a guy in a bat suit always appeared quietly in front of others, and then quietly left, without exception. Fei Li knew that the attribute of being elusive was already a very fashionable trend in the outside world, so he planned to learn it.

…… Of course, it's also interesting to see other people's surprised expressions.

In fact, for Feili, this last point is the most important.

Is there anything more interesting than being able to see the true face of the girls who are defenseless, and being able to see the true temperament of the big monsters without concealing it?

The pleasure of going deeper through the shell of camouflage and looking directly at the nature of the other person is enough to make people want to stop.

However, it is impossible for Fei Li to tell Reimu this motive honestly, otherwise the shrine maiden will immediately wave the Imperial Coin of Sanction and hit her.

"What and what......"

Hearing Feili's explanation, the shrine maiden muttered with a strange expression.

It's surprising that this man, who has nothing to do with fashion and vintage, would pay attention to such trivial things.

Obviously, the so-called fashion is not a matter of importance.

Reimu didn't quite understand Feili's thoughts, but after such a while. Her anger had subsided. If you want to burn again, you need a new kindling.

「…………」

"Why are you looking at me like that? Reimu."

Although the man questioned with a harmless smile. But Reimu couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at him.

This guy can't be deliberately diverting the topic, right?

Even with this suspicion, there is no way to confirm it. Reimu, who realized this, calmly gave up her intention to continue to get angry.

「…… Didn't you say you were going to solve my problems? Then let's talk about it quickly."

"Okay... I see."

In the face of Reimeng's cold urging, Feili was not angry. Instead, he chuckled inclusively.

"I'll give you a crucial clue."

「…………」

However, Valkyrie's refreshing smile failed to impress the girl. Reimu remained untouched by her usual style.

It's also true.,Hakurei Reimu is not a simple girl who will be deceived by sweet words.,And she's been with men for a considerable amount of time.、Maybe she's already produced a "pair of Feili antibodies" in her body.。

On the other hand, Feili, who has also been with the girl for a long time, is not embarrassed by his cold reception at all. Maintain his admirable calmness.

I don't know if he found ――――― his attitude towards the girl, in fact, it is the same as the attitude of a certain monster sage towards the witch.

"Well, listen carefully―――――

May I die under the cherry blossoms in the spring.

Just like the Buddha Shakya, when Nirvana looked at the moon.

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, the March sky, endless.

Is this a poem or a song? All in all, the language that flows from men is something that approximates the words in between.

「…… What the hell is this?"

Marisa, who was listening to everything on the side, had an unhappy twisted expression on her face.

For her, she didn't understand what Fei Li was talking about. But the other person had a completely different reaction.

「…… I see. That's the key to everything."

Although it is also muttering, Reimu's and Marisa's muttering are obviously opposite in direction.

Reimu had heard this song, the ancient song of spring.

Fei's words were like an empowerment to her, pointing out a new direction. Even if it is not clear who is behind it, the clues that have been pursued are clear.

"Marisa, are you going to solve the mutation?"

「…… Huh?"

Reimu's sudden words made Marisa stunned.

"It's okay to enjoy the flowers."

With that, the girl rose into the air and flew off into the distance. Marisa was left looking at her back in the air.

「…… Huh?"

The so-called elegant thing of cherry blossom viewing, Marisa still doesn't know why. But at least there is one thing that is clear, and that is the course of action she has always taken.

Marisa Kiriyu shouldn't hesitate to move forward at any time.

"Cut ......"

With a sneer, the black-and-white magician mounted his broomstick and followed the shrine maiden's figure.

"Uh-huh...... Good momentum, I wish you success, girls."

Watching the backs of the girls who were as free and easy as the wind disappear into the world, they sent a blessing that they could no longer hear.
