Chapter 11: Let's Work! Miss Shrine Maiden!

"In the early morning of the 0th month, a lonely shrine maiden was found near the Hakutori Shrine in the far east of Gensokyo."

"At sunrise, in the vicinity of the earthly realm, honest and honest reporters were subjected to violent resistance and brutal treatment by shrine maidens."

"Today, the road to the truth of justice and conscience is still long."

"Don't expect to get a selling point from me!" Youning had a disgusted expression.

"Oh?" Wenwen had a winning smile on his face, and the pencil turned briskly between his fingers, "The secret that the uncle and the girl keep together......"

“…… It's really a defeat for you. Youning covered half of her face and sighed. But I can't pour it all out to you just by saying that. ”

"Well...... "Well,—— it's hard to say that the bottom line is not easy to say-Youning returned to his usual posture of pretending to be a master, "It's your words, you should be able to understand, whether to choose to report the progress of the incident little by little, or to go to the bottom and discover a big news at once, such a choice, right?" ”

"Of course~ The truth is always the ultimate goal pursued by reporters~" opened his Wenhua post with great interest, and Wenwen did not hide his expectations.

"The latest banquet, you know? That's it. ”

"It's true that the scale and frequency are not normal...... And Reimu took over the next banquet...... Isn't that right? Is this another mutation? Wenwen's eyes were already shining, "It can't be wrong!" can make Boli's witch no longer squat at home, except for eating and drinking, there is only mutation! ”

"......" looked at Wenwen's expression for a moment, and Youning showed a triumphant smile, and then said:

"The rice jar of the shrine is about to bottom."

"Huh?!"

"On the 0th of the month, the store manager of Yonindo suspended business due to health problems. Later, according to the news clues provided by him, he found the spirit Youmu who did not carry the Louguan Sword and Pache Noreki who was wandering in the forest with Marisa Kiriyu. ”

"Although they are all events worthy of special mention, the location of the headline has already been predetermined. It's rare to see a shrine maiden who is busy working for a livelihood in a hundred years—not that the shrine maiden has never been reduced to the point of having no rice at home, but even at this time, the shrine maiden has not been driven by it. ”

"When I found the shrine maiden in the world, I seemed to be in a state of embarrassment. Out of humanity and against the principles of the press staff, according to the idea of the manager of Yuningdo, he proposed a so-called "part-time job" to the shrine maiden. ”

"After that, honest and honest reporters are also continuing to fight violence for the truth today~"

————————————==————————————

"It's really fast...... Reimu looked at the black dot that disappeared at the end of the sky, and casually stuffed the yin-yang jade into his sleeve.

"The ghost is not gone...... The ghost ...... gone"

As Reimu sighed, a voice came from behind her.

"Huh? Isn't this Reimu? Oh ha~"

"Ah, it's Huiyin. I'm getting ready to find you......"

"Ah, I heard that~ Is Reimu coming to work at the temple house? Welcome, welcome~"

"Huh?"

Huiyin responded to Reimu's slightly surprised look with a gentle smile.

"Because today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Originally, I had prepared the props for the festival early, but because of the discord between [wind] and [fire]—" Speaking of this, a cross faintly protruded from the corner of Huiyin's forehead, "Although I temporarily asked the barnyard family yesterday, there is really a shortage of manpower here." I can't expect the children to do too much work, it's really a headache~"

"Anyway, it's settled~Sa~" Before Reimu could respond, Huiyin grabbed Reimu's hand and headed back towards the temple.

……

……

"I said......" Huiyin looked at Reimu who was standing next to him with a twitch in the corner of her eyes, "Don't you feel bored when you look at it like this?" ”

"Oh." In response, Reimu had an extra teacup in her hand to relieve boredom. Sure enough, there is a reimu that can sit for a day with tea.

However, the atmosphere is not very right. The festive atmosphere that you can feel from the moment you enter the world is especially warm in the terakoya where the children are concentrated—as it should be. Before the props were in place, Huiyin instructed the children to fold the backlog of newspapers into armor and put them on their heads. It stands to reason that this kind of novel event, even if there is Huiyin's past prestige, the whole classroom should be filled with the excitement of lively children. Now, however, the students listened attentively as if they were facing a great enemy, and the reason was the shrine maiden who was quietly watching at the door. Just a glance, maybe not a sweep, is a kind of pressure. It would be nice to have classes like this on weekdays, but now it's a holiday. Huiyin is a little big. Even if he wanted to assign other jobs to Reimu, he didn't have a position to get off the podium when he was stared at so seriously by the children. After a long paragraph, Huiyin dragged Reimu out of the classroom. Sure enough, as soon as I stepped out of the door, the noise of chirping behind me blew up.

"Ahh Is there one? ”

Regarding the question of commission, Reimu answered it like this.

————————————==————————————

"The clashes that sparked yesterday's follow-up interviews with Terakoya teachers seem to have had disastrous consequences. Be more secretive in the future. It is not okay for journalists not to obtain information from a completely objective point of view. ”

However, because of this, the shrine maiden successfully got a part-time job. Although it seems that Bai Ze did not understand the meaning of the shrine maiden, and the shrine maiden is a person who will not refuse or promise. ”

"The shrine maiden has received a new commission. It is now moving towards the barnyard family. ”

————————————==————————————

"Ah, it's Reimu. It's so good~ I still wonder why Teacher Huiyin didn't come~"

Ah Qiu smiled as relieved as if Reimu followed behind Ah Qiu without squinting. Stepping on the wooden steps from the stone slab, there is a very comfortable sound between the lines and bites.

"This is ......"

"It's my family's warehouse~ The carp streamers and iris that Teacher Huiyin asked for are all ready inside."

"Huh?"

"It's a bit heavy, but if it's Reimu, it's fine. Later, I also rushed to the temple house to help. I won't keep Reimu too busy. ”

- The heavy door slammed open, revealing a row of bulging sacks in front of Reimu.

“……”

…………

…………

"Huiyin—I've brought you a helper—"

At the door of the temple house, Reimu and the master of the White Jade Building, no, Youmeng, who is a freelancer for the time being, stood there in a posture that was extremely in line with him.

- Reimu was carrying several bags in her arms, while Youmu was carrying a large bag about twice her size. The two expressionless girls once again calmed the original enthusiasm of the bear children to the freezing point.

————————————==————————————

"The Witch of Hakurei unexpectedly takes advantage of her connections. The passing soul demon dream was pulled to the barnyard field house to work as a porter, and the barnyard field Aqiu, who arrived later, also shared the affairs of managing the students. The soul demon dream seemed to ask an unanswerable question after finishing his work, but when everyone present was still thinking, he had already left the temple house to do his own thing. From Bai Ze's expression, it is speculated that there is a connection with some aspect of his private life. Subsequently, it seems that because the craftsmanship is too clumsy, the witch was kicked out of the kitchen by Bai Ze again, and continued to be idle. ”

"After the lunch, the temple house was really happy because of the festival props made by the barnyard family. Before this, it seems that it was the old manuscript of this newspaper that relieved Bai Ze. As a journalist, I feel very relieved. I will continue to work harder in the future. ”

————————————==————————————

"Let's go pick your favorite carp streamers!"

At the sound of the order, the children flocked to the long table full of carp streamers, and the room was filled with impatient joy.

"Is it okay if Ah Qiu is not at the barnyard field?"

"It doesn't matter. After all, I'm the next generation of Goari. What's more," Ah Qiu smiled gently, "because it was too urgent, I brought some props that were originally prepared for the family's use." It's good to spend the festival at the temple house. ”

- "Old, Teacher...... This flag seems to have broken a piece ......"

The conversation was interrupted by timid speeches. The little girl held a carp streamer with a square notch and covered half of her face.

"Ah...... Don't be sad. Take mine and trade it for you. ”

“…… Thank you sister! ”

As Ah Qiu comforts the students, Huiyin focuses her gaze on Reimu's face.

"Ah, that. If I want to use a talisman on the way, I will tear up a piece of paper and use it. ”

It looks like it doesn't matter......

"Huh? Is it okay to be casual? "Ah Qiu is interested. As the memory of Gensokyo, its curiosity is no less than Wenwen...... No, it's surprising that Wenwen can be compared to Ah Qiu. However, Reimu gave an unexpected answer.

"If you really want to talk about the effect, it doesn't. But that demonic aura wasn't something I could solve in the first place, so it didn't hurt. "Drink tea and drink tea.

"Are there any youkai that Reimu can't even deal with?" Now Zi Huiyin was also surprised.

"The letter is a [monster], even if I can't help it. You can't get started with something like a demon spirit. The talisman is just a symbolic prop, just remind it. It's almost the same as calamus to eliminate disasters. ”

Huiyin pondered for a moment.

"Reimu, you've been enjoying the banquet lately. For the human world, there are not many times a year when such an opportunity occurs. Was it a festival last time? The meaning of sprinkling beans is as purely symbolic as that of calamus and carp streamers today. ”

"If you can, it's good to have a banquet at the shrine all the time. - I'm ready to go, Huiyin. I'm going to get ready for the next [hell] banquet too. ”

"Huh?" Ah Qiu showed a puzzled look, "Is Reimu leaving?" ”

"Let's hang my own carp streamers with the kids later. It's a boys' holiday, but it's a temple. As the next head of the barnyard family, it won't work if you don't get to know each other~~"

"Thank you, Huiyin. Goodbye then. ”

Ah Qiu raised his head and saw Lingmeng Shi Shiran passing through the crowd, without stopping and no one noticing.

……

……

"You're back...... Even though I prepared some lunch, I don't need to look at you like this. ”

Hakurei Shrine,Youning greets Reimu who enters the door with a posture like a family owner.。

"Stay until the evening...... Don't just use other people's food to cook. In that case, I'm going to ask you to contribute to tomorrow's banquet. ”

Reimu ignored and walked towards the back room.

"Oh. It won't be like this in the future - if you don't replenish the shrine's rice bowl. It's empty, it's the last one~~"

Click, click. Reimu turned her head blankly.

————————————==————————————

The shrine maiden seemed to get a satisfactory answer and left the temple. It's worthy of Bai Ze. Well, as a reporter, of course, I had an early insight into the truth of the incident. ”

"I traced the trail of the soul demon dream. It seems that there are indeed questions about private life. Marisa doesn't seem to have figured it out, and by the time Pache Norreki was about to say the word, Alice Margot Rod had already driven the soul Yumu out of Marisa's house. ”

After that, he found a shrine maiden who had returned to the world in a bad mood. For the sake of the reporter's personal safety, I decided to wait and see the development of the Fog and Rain Magic Shop. ”

In the end, it seems that the witch of the Seven Dawns lost the duel between the magicians. If the witch who started hanging out can meet the court master who is also hanging out, she will probably be able to solve the puzzle. ”

"In the world. It seems that the shrine maiden has finally really got back to work. Although the season is not matched, the shrine maiden's kagura is still unanimously praised. For the audience, it may be enough to serve as a talking point for a long time. ”

"This is about the end of the preparations for the next banquet. For some reason, it is a bit difficult to report on the specific situation of the banquet. However, the outcome of the banquet must be very different. ”

————————————==————————————

"Hey, why hasn't Reimu come back yet? You won't let people fish it with rice balls, right? ”

"Underestimate her, huh? How do you say that you have to have wine and food? Her words, now in Bai Ze's house rubbed calamus wine and drank it and forgot it. …… Oh? I smell the wine. ”

Youning shrugged. The setting sun stretched Wenwen's shadow in front of him very long, and the wine cup shimmered like broken gold.

"If you like, take it and try it. Maybe it's an old wine that has been stored since the early generations. Well, after all, if you want to entertain the protagonist of the next banquet, it's better not to have the [fantasy] component. ”

"Ah, it's better to be respectful than to obey, so I won't be able to enjoy it. So, you are the first witness to tomorrow's events? ”

"Well...... It's natural. ”

After Wenwen left, Youning slowly raised the wine cup and sniffed it, frowning. Slowly pacing outside, he looked like he had found something interesting.

"Smack"

The left palm clapped the right fist, and the posture was flashing.

"There it is! Methods of destroying evidence......"

- "I seem to be depressed. Would you like a drink? …… Pache Noregi ......"
