The beauty of women is naturally unquestionable.

She has powdery hair and an overly delicate complexion reminiscent of pearls, which is enough to make a very good beauty. Not to mention the pale eyes that reveal an ethereal temperament. Her beauty is not the vulgar gaudy, but as elusive as the ethereal clouds. It's like some kind of creature out of the world.

However, why is this woman so unrelieved in Marisa's eyes?

There are deep reasons for this.

I saw this beautiful woman in a blue and white kimono, although her empty eyes were fixed on the girl, but at the same time she was holding a string of half-eaten glutinous rice dumplings in her hand, judging from her gently floating lips and a little bean flour on the corners of her mouth...... She seemed to be eating happily.

Although her eating appearance is actually very beautiful, but generally speaking, at this moment, she should be holding something like a fan in her hand to be more in line with the elegance of this cherry blossom sky and her own image? What's the deal with holding a half-eaten glutinous rice dumpling?

Glancing at the woman's waist, the fan that was supposed to replace the glutinous rice dumplings was being snubbed by its owner. It seems that between elegance and appetite, this guy is more inclined to the latter.

Marisa has to admit that this appearance is not only impressive, but also unique. But she'd rather the other party play in a more flashy way than she doesn't know how to speak like she does now.

But also because of the other party's unique style, the girl was able to know who was standing in front of her at the moment.

"You're Yuyuko of Xixing Temple, right?"

「……」

Marisa's question was met with a silent silence.

However, this is not because of the woman's cold question to Marisa, but rather than answering this question, it is undoubtedly more attractive to eat the dumplings in her hands first.

After eating the glutinous rice dumplings on the bamboo skewers in her mouth, the woman finally nodded slowly at Marisa. This should be her response.

Because her mouth is stuffed with glutinous rice and bean paste filling, her nodding gesture is unexpectedly reminiscent of a hamster with swollen cheeks, and has a cuteness that does not match her temperament.

However, Marisa is not very powerful, and she is not even half moved or moved by the cuteness of the other party. Although she hadn't noticed it herself, her eyes were the same as Reimu's usual gaze at her, a look that only existed when she was looking at something troublesome.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Marisa was not surprised in the slightest. Because, the various performances of this Yuyuko of the Xixing Temple had already made her anticipate it before she asked.

The girl is not in vain in her years with the Martial God. In her opinion, Fei Li has lived long enough, and she knows a lot of big monsters. It's the best free encyclopedia. So from the mouth of the Martial God, she has also received information about some powerful characters in Gensukyo.

Saigyuji Yuyuko is naturally also included.

The information Marisa has obtained can be divided into three columns.

The first is to look good...... Although Marisa is very scoffing at this information. But after thinking about it carefully, Bayi Feili is also a man after all, and it is natural that he will care about a woman's appearance, so the girl didn't say anything.

And then there's the ethereal temperament, probably because he's already a dead soul. She always gave people a sense of being far away from the world, although Marisa, who had already met her, always felt a little complicated. But at least if you don't care about the mochi gnocchi, it can still be regarded as a pertinent comment.

Finally, it's elusive.

Regardless of the strength or not, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple is a difficult person to measure.

Unlike the youkai sages who often clearly harbor evil intentions or purposes, it is difficult to figure out whether all the actions and behaviors of Yuyuko in Saigyoji Temple are meaningful. Is there another meaning under the unfathomable words or is it a casual remark? All in all, Fei Li's own impression is that there is no need to think too much about it when talking to Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple, as long as it is understood literally.

There is another one, she herself is very greedy. …… That's really to the point. At least that's what Marisa, who saw me, thought.

「…… So, did you cause this mutation?"

Although I really want to put on a righteous and strict posture, I can see the other party's fluttering attitude. Marisa also had a hard time asking harsh questions, and even with a high-handed attitude, it didn't make any difference.

Because the other party is like flowing water or clouds, the oppression of empty brute force will only pass through it, but it will not cause any effect.

Yuyuko looked at the bamboo sticks that no longer had any balls with nostalgia, and threw them away in disappointment. However, she answered the girl's question.

「…… If you're talking about collecting spring, then yes."

Yuyuko said in a voice that didn't feel any strong momentum. Her attitude was as casual as telling people what the weather was like -- in a sense they were talking about the weather.

「…… But what does that have to do with you? Little girl?"

With the same eyes as the cherry blossoms, she looked at Marisa without emotion, and Yuyuko from Seigyoji Temple didn't have any expectations for Marisa's answer, and even if she got an answer, it wouldn't change her decision. And she herself did not hide this. She asked out of a modicum of curiosity.

Of course, Marisa's answer determines how she will be treated.

But as far as Marisa herself was concerned, she felt that she had been slighted.

The soft tone of Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple did not contain contempt, and her empty gaze did not make people unhappy. But her undisguised nothingness had shown that in her mind, Marisa could not really shake her purpose. Maybe in Yuyuko's eyes, she's just a girl who can be seen everywhere...... But that's why it's interesting, isn't it?

When she really stopped the mutation, what kind of expression would she show? Marisa was interested to know.

Relying on one's own efforts to defeat the strong and trample the strong man's inconspicuous arrogance under his feet is exactly what the girl likes.

With this in mind, she answered Yuyuko's question.

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, I want to take back the spring from Gensokyo."

After saying this, Marisa felt very good. Because this sentence is full of a sense of justice. It's like the main characters of those RPGs would say.

Heck, I'll have that one day. It's a good feeling to be a hero. For a moment, Marisa closed her eyes and was immersed in the ??? ) in a strange sense of pleasure.

However, when she opened her eyes because of Yuyuko's rhetorical question from Saiyuki Temple, she couldn't help but be surprised.

「…… Is that so?"

Yuyuko, who asked softly, looked sad as if she had heard some bad news, her frowning eyebrows were enough to shake any man, but it was a little short of trying to get Marisa to swallow what she had said.

"Yes, yes."

However, the girl's answer was not as straightforward as it had just been.

Yuyuko, who had received an affirmative reply again, sighed heavily.

To be honest, this surprised Marisa a bit, as she didn't expect such a noticeable mood swing from this undead princess.

"I just want this tree to bloom...... It must be very beautiful---You or Ah Zi, why don't you understand?"

Yuyuko looked at the huge dead tree standing in front of the two of them and said with a expression.

To be exact, she wasn't even looking at the giant tree. Her cherry-colored eyes weren't focused on any of them, just empty and sluggish in the air.

It's a little creepy, but Marisa understands what she means.

Just look at the scale of this dead tree. If it is truly rejuvenated and transformed into cherry blossoms, it will be a spectacle of imagination. Marisa would love to see it if she could.

However, if it is at the cost of the spring of the entire Gensokyo, the girl is not sensitive. Anyway, the current cherry blossoms in Baiyulou are already like a fairyland, so at least bring the warmth of spring to more people.

Marisa doesn't understand the obsession of Yuyuko in Saigyoji.。

If it had been understood, this conversation would never have happened in the first place.

Again, there will be no antagonism.

"It's a shame......

Yuyuko's eyes regained focus. looked at Marisa.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked your name yet? Maiden."

"Marisa Kiriyu, just call me Marisa."

Although I don't quite understand why I suddenly asked my name at this moment, it is not difficult to understand the name of both parties. So the answer immediately blurted out from the girl.

"So, Marisa, didn't you say you were going to take spring back from me?"

"Ahh

It seems that Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple is a much more decisive character than it seems.

Ignoring Marisa's foolish voice, she pulled out the folding fan pinned to her waist and rose into the air in a slow but graceful gesture like a dance.

Against the backdrop of the cherry blossoms in the sky, it is not surprising that even the impulse to worship Yuyuko in Saigyoji Temple is not surprising.

But Marisa doesn't have such an inexplicable impulse.

「…… Hey, kidding, huh?"

No one could answer her question.

However, looking at the swarm of butterflies that appeared behind Yuyuko as the fan unfolded, she couldn't help but temporarily lose the ability to speak.

The number of bewitching butterflies fluttering in the hundreds and thousands -- that was a super barrage of terrifying scale.

Looking down from the sky at Marisa, who was stunned for a moment, Yuyuko said.

"Although it only takes a breath to take your life, but since Ah Zi has promoted another interesting solution, it doesn't hurt to give it a try or two."

There is no doubt that this is the mercy that belongs to the undead princess.

But can Marisa afford it...... That's another question.
