Chapter 8: The Fog Rises, the Fog of the Underworld
Hakurei Shrine in the early morning.
"Reimu - Reimu !!"
"Bang Dong !!"
Marisa broke into the shrine in a rage.
Crackling -
After some tossing, he finally caught Reimu alive in the bedroom who hadn't woken up yet.
"What! Early in the morning. β
After being violently shaken awake, Reimu scratched the stupid hairs on her head sullenly, and complained angrily.
"Whew...... It's great that Reimu is okay. β
Seeing Marisa's full palpitation, Reimu couldn't help but take it a little seriously.
"Yesterday, didn't the Red Devil Pavilion say there was a sponsorship yesterday?"
"Ahh What's wrong. β
"I had a terrible nightmare of super ~! I dreamed that Reimu had become a local tyrant! It's scary! β
"Huh?!"
"You know what! That's it! Wrapped in leather clothes, hanging shiny gadgets from head to toe, smoking cigarettes, and throwing money everywhere! β¦β¦β
As Marisa danced and described her dream, Reimu yawned and retracted into the covers.
Anyone who knows Reimu, or a youkai, probably takes Marisa's dream as a joke.
If Youning was here, he would definitely complain, "This will only be a dream" or something like that.
Even Marisa, who has never been a brain, understands it. So after the initial excitement was vented, it also calmed down.
ββ¦β¦ Feed. Reimu? β
I can't understand how Reimu did it, but now she's asleep again amid Marisa's noise.
Because of Marisa's rough actions before, the bedding and clothes are slightly messy. The eyebrows are slightly frowned, the lips are lightly pursed, and the sleeping face is slightly uneasy. However, even then, it is still spread out on all fours and unguarded. A little lazy feeling of sleeping.
"Spirit...... Reimu ......"
Marisa, are you stunned?
Slowly, Marisa's shoulders shook slightly.
Yes, all of a sudden, evil thoughts burst out?
Slowly, plucking up his courage, he leaned down towards Reimu.
ββββββββββββ=Ο=ββββββββββββ
- Click, click......
"The autumn leaves fall ~ turn into mud ~ the wind and waves ~ I cross it ~"
Such a melodious singing voice was revealed in the wet and cold mist, and the outline of such a girl was outlined in the hazy mist.
Flowers bloom on the other side, and the path on this side is desolate. The wind and smoke are heavy, the boatman's horn sounds, a reed flat boat, and the other side returns.
This is the Santu River.
- Click, click......
ββ¦β¦ On the water side~"
Deeply, a black shadow broke through the clouds and smoke.
Click...... Click.
Wet footsteps paused at his side. Raising his head, the boatman's face was imprinted in the visitor's eyes.
"Oops, oops, is it okay to be so impatient? Isn't it necessary to cultivate one's self well? β¦β¦ I came to Santu River by myself, and I really didn't take our death seriously. Speaking of which, it's the first time we're going to cross such a [character] -
- Unknown, immortal. β
With his eyes closed, the Grim Reaper, who was leaning on the boat gang, put down the wine gourd and spoke lightly.
"Surprisingly motivated. Miss Lazy Master. β
Youning laughed as if she couldn't help but laugh.
"However, like you, life and death are not in the hands of our boatmen-no, we are in charge, it's just [after death]~"
The ferryman, who had not shown the slightest interest, threw out lukewarm words and continued to sip sake gently.
"So, before we leave our jobs and do something else, leave?"
"Oops, huh? - Well, you're half right. It seems that the rumor that the immortal hiding at the ends of the earth will be found by the god of death is also somewhat credible.
Yes...... Anyway, can I borrow it? Please, please~ We're in a hurry to go to the banquet~~Miss Komachi~~"
With his hands folded and he bowed slightly, Youning showed a warm smile like coaxing a child.
Quietly, Komachi raised his head and opened his eyes slightly, and the color changed several times in the pupils of Yuning's face.
Suddenly, Fun smiled heartily.
"Oops...... I said it. Although, like you, it is indeed not within our part of the life. - However, we are not in working hours now~"
ββββββββββββ==ββββββββββββ
"It's more peaceful than you think, Death. However, is this a private use of power? Miss Komachi? β
"What are you talking about, we're not in working hours."
The other side. Komachi smiled and gossiped with Yune.
"That...... Do you want to go forward with me? Don't have to go back? β
"What? Do you think that the little wine you bought in the middle of the way is enough to get paid? Here's hell, I can't even afford the Grim Reaper's salary~"
Twisting the big scythe that he was carrying on his shoulder at some point, Komachi's eyes flashed.
"......" Youning shrunk his neck.
"Ahaha, just kidding~ Hawkers, I'm lazy and stealing, anyway, when I go back, I'm just the same as being preached by Lord Yingji, and it's our principle to make up if there's a lot of fun~"
Lazily putting the sickle on his shoulders with both hands, Komachi raised his head slightly, and said something terrible without care.
"Do you have to make enough mistakes to make mistakes...... The Grim Reaper with this kind of awareness? β
"Huh. We're just an extradited boatman. We're in charge of this ship, and ......."
With a smug and proud smile, Komachi looked up.
- Changed, the world.
"That's just it."
"Ahhh......h It's really, shocking. β
Squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying such a shocking change.
- The Void. Geist. The ladder of white jade, end to end.
One step is a difference, and I don't know how much to cross.
"Even if it is as you said, there is a path leading to the underworld beyond the Santu River...... The road is meaningless to us~~"
Laughed out with a "hum" sound.
"You should know that, right? But ......"
Komachi slowed down.
"You probably won't, that's all, right?"
"Uh-huh~ I do, I do have something to ask for......" Youning shrugged. Komachi turned his head slightly to the side......
"Human Talisman [Present World Slash]!"
"Qiang !!"
The symphony of scythes and swords!
The clear drink of the demon dream exploded in the void.
"Comer...... Ay? Mr. Youning??? Also, this is ...... Not...... I seem to be a little impressed......"
"Ah, this is the Grim Reaper who used to scare you not to cry when I was a child~~"
"Hey, we're not such a vicious character......"
"Ahh I remember! β
Seeing that Youning and Komachi were about to fight, Youmeng suddenly screamed as if she had a sudden realization.
"That's what Yuyuko-sama often says.,That.,The one who will be thrown into the wild if you don't work hard.,Lazy master!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββββββββββββ==ββββββββββββ
Shrine.
"It hurts, it hurts...... I'm wrong, I'm wrong......"
Marisa's hippie smile that is trampled under Reimu's feet.
Then, a lazy donkey rolled and escaped, and sat loosely on the tatami mat next to it.
Reimu sighed and lifted her arm to stretch her shoulders.
"Marisa, really. How do I sleep......"
"It's not time to go to bed!"
"Got it, got it......"
Reimu yawned as she began to get up officially.
The sound of fabric gently scratching the air, and the gray pajamas and pajamas nested haphazardly on the floor.
Because it's indoors, there's a kotatsu nearby, so you don't have to worry about taking it off.
By the way, I tidied up the wrap and bloomers......
"Ma, Marisa! Look, what to see! β
Spotted Marisa staring at her.
"Huh? What's wrong? Marisa, who looked up, had a natural expression.
"Well, this," Reimu snorted a few words without saying a reason, "you can do whatever you want." β
Under Marisa's gaze, the undergarment made a mess on the upper half of her body. So he simply dragged it down and threw it on the bed. The bow that hung simply on his head was removed, and the long black straight over the wavy soft shawl.
Continued, I can't tell if it's an elegant or a bumbly change.
The collar is intimately wrapped around the neck. The top slips down and fits just right. The waistband of the hakama gently goes back and forth.
- Maybe it was reinvented in an attempt to simplify the dressing process, but it still failed. Is this time long or short? It doesn't make sense, though. Both for the wearer and the bystander.
"Marisa, tie my sleeves for me."
"Ahh Yes? β
Xu froze for some reason, and Marisa didn't come back to her senses.
"I saidβdisturbed my dreams, corresponding ......"
"Here comes DAβZE~ I just got distractedZE~β"
- Wearing a shrine maiden costume is a tedious task. It's hard to imagine that a lazy insect like Reimu would be so conscientious in getting dressed.
No...... Perhaps, this is also a reimu. Or is it more appropriate to say that [this is Reimu].
"Marisa. Don't stuff strange mushrooms in my mouth in the future. β
"Hey, hey~β"
"-Of course I'll taste some of what you made. Let's go to the undead for lunch. Let's go. Marisa......"
"Hey, hey~β"
ββββββββββββ=Actually, that strange mushroom I originally wanted to play with was Nasu, but ...... After the baptism of 2.09, I now want to go to the β _ β if it weren't for a gentleman reminding me, I really didn't find out = Anyway, this is 214 benefits to β_β Sure enough, when it comes to it, I'm still looking for loveββββββββββββ
"That's it! And so the final dessert is done! β
While Youmeng was satisfied, admiring the results of his hard work for the banquet, there was a light knock on the window frame of Bai Yulou's kitchen. Outside this window, there is a clearing facing the Westward Demon. Youmeng wiped her sweat and pushed open the window sash.
"Youning...... Is there something going on? β
"Ahaha...... I think it's almost time for everyone to come over......" Youning snorted as he looked around......
"Oops! I forgot! I hope Yuyuko-sama doesn't blameβ"
Youmu turned around in a panic and ran out. Youning's expression froze from a slightly embarrassed sneer to speechlessness.
"Oops~ It looks delicious~~ Youmu is really capable~~"
With a soft and glutinous voice, the white-clothed undead floated into the kitchen with a sleepwalking-like look.
Youning turned her gaze to the side.
"Are you satisfied? Purple? β
Unknown and faint words echoed in the room.
"Ah, I was just kidding. It's troublesome now~ Hey, why don't you make up for these shortfalls? β
Yakumo Zi supported his chin with both hands, and half of his body appeared from the gap. He sneered in Youning's ear, and then moved to Yuyuko's backβneedless to say, she was happily stealing fishy.
"Youmeng is too straightforward. But you say this...... If you want me to come, it will be enough to throw salt and rice away. We have a saying there that is 'one salty and three flavors'...... I'm a big believer. Ah, speaking of which, the god of death in Santugawa recognized me as an immortal today. β
"Really? But it's pretty much the sameβrather, it's the company of some immortal. Isn't it? Yakumo Zi smiled slightly, and her eyes flowed on Youning with interest.
"The tone of your voice is a little bit better than Reimu."
"Ahem. Hawkers,Honestly,I'm really a little afraid to talk to you right now......" Scratching his cheek, Youning leaned his back against the outer wall, and looked at the situation where Youmu greeted the girls from Gensokyo in the distance.
"Still. Over there in my house, the second half of that sentence is ...... [a good cover for a hundred ugliness]. β
One salty and three flavors...... A good ...... Cover up the ugly ......
This conversation, Youmeng naturally doesn't know. Even if you know, you can only watch.
The fruits of the work were eaten aside, and Youmeng is very busy now.
The number of people attending the banquet has increased significantly.
"Youmu. This is my Patsy~ a useless magician. β
"Huh? Welcome, Miss Pache ......"
"I see. I understand. β
βοΌ Do you understand what? β
Patchouli shook her head silently and said no more.
It's not just the new faces that are so difficult to communicate with......
"Sure enough, it's you! Divine Skill [Celestial Wind Feet] !! β
"Whoa?!!! Wow, a
Reimu cleanly knocked Youmu to the ground.
A torture to extract a confession -
"What. I knew it wasn't~"
Patting the dust off his hands, Reimu walked away in style.
"Woo-cry"
The work of welcoming guests continues. I don't know what it will be like for her to find out that the food she had worked so hard to prepare is gone.
Now, however, the reality is even more important.
"Reimu! Next time, it's time to go to the shrine to hold a cherry blossom viewing partyDAβZE~"
"It's troublesome, it's troublesome...... How about doing it again in three days? β¦β¦ Well, let's help! Marisa, Sakiya, and, over there, Youmu. β
In front of Reimu, who always plays the role of the soldier who met Xiucai, Youmeng responded dejectedly.
However, even if it is sluggish, it is slightly noticed.
The postponement of the banquet is not necessarily because it wants to free up time to solve the incident.
ββIn the lonely underworld, the slightest wind and grass is vivid.
According to Grandpa's teachings, use the sword in your hand to cut through the fog.
Thinking like this, Youmu walked into the kitchen.
After 10 seconds.
"Hiccup~~~"
"Secluded-secluded-sub-big-human!!!!"
PS: Sick for a few days...... Sure enough, staying up late to burst the liver is harmful to your health.
PS2: Anyway, I really don't know how to write about benefits OTZ
