Oriental Youningtang Vol. 3 To· Stay· Forever

Chapter 3: The Stealing of Light

At the banquet in the White Jade Building, the atmosphere gradually crossed the extreme of enthusiasm.

One after another, some people began to leave without saying goodbye.

If you leave after you've had all the excitement at the party, you'll be disappointed on the way. So, it's better to take advantage of it.

The girls of Gensokyo,There is quite a consensus on this point.。

Of course, the ever-energetic elves don't care about that—and even if they do, they don't have enough IQ balance to think about countermeasures.

The goblins who had snuck in had now filled the vacant seats of the retiring without any scruples. Pretending to taste completely unwanted food is also an occasional pleasure for them.

In the hustle and bustle they create, the people who should do things are still doing their own things.

"Youning. Why don't you go back with Reimu? ”

"Well...... I'll lay on the line for a moment. ”

The master and servant of the Red Devil Pavilion walked by.

"If this continues, Reimu will put off everything until the day of the banquet. Youning, if you don't help. ”

Even so, Marisa had a look on her face.

"This one...... Here. ”

Youning shrugged his shoulders and looked up in a gesture of looking into the sky. In the rain of cherry blossoms, a black feather flutters down.

"This is, Raventengu's?"

Reminded by Alice, the wild magic dawned on her.

"Oh! I got DA☆ZE! Are you trying to say......"

"Ahh I mean. It's about my birds. ”

“……”X2

——————————====——————————

Cold.

Even though some dazzling light had poured down on the floor of the shrine's bedroom, even if I could clearly smell the warmth of the spring breeze, I still felt cold.

And the witch who got up lazily in this bedroom felt it even more.

I still drank some wine last night. On the way back, of course, there were no particularly obsessed goblins and monsters jumping out to show the lower limit, so they spent the night leisurely with a slight interest.

Then, like the aftermath of a feast, the heat of the spirit fades away along with the heat of the body.

But that's not the cause of the cold.

- Some dazzling light. In front of the window, there are several clouds of ghosts that seem to be lost, and the cool morning light melts into a ghostly cold light.

Throwing a few paper talismans, the ghosts fled in panic to the shrine's backyard.

Reimu gets dressed a little bored. Although I hate the cold, such a breathable shrine maiden costume naturally can't protect against the cold - is it used to it, or, I don't care about it.

As for the attitude towards ghosts...... Probably because she's a shrine maiden of Hakurei.

…… That's it, that's all.

"Click."

"Oh ha-yo~~Reimu~~"

In the open space in the backyard of the shrine, Yunei turned around and greeted Reimu who poked his head out of the window with a smile.

"Huh? Oh, hay......"

Well, it's not an open space either......

Originally, this was the place where the garbage from the banquet the day before yesterday remained...... And now too. However, what made Reimu a little distracted was the large ...... stacked on top of each other Phantom.

Then, without saying a word, a few pieces of rune paper were thrown out by Reimu.

"Hey, hey......" Youning hurriedly waved his hand to try to stop Reimu's actions, "It's rare that there are so many ghosts, how can you not make good use of it......"

"Oh."

Answering weakly, Reimu hung softly on the windowsill.

"I've seen ghosts at work in the underworld, and I think it's okay for us to ask them for help...... Speaking of which, Sakiya and Youmu, who can create so many prototypes of garbage, are really exaggerated...... The ghost understands what we're talking about, right? ”

"Hmm."

Still unmotivated voices. Reimu was on the verge of sliding off the windowsill.

"Hey, don't do that." Youning scratched her head as if she was a little troubled, and then thought for a moment......

Halberd fingers! Yu step! Drink and turn around!

"Phew! Taishang Laojun was in a hurry...... OTZ”

The ghosts in the backyard of the shrine have been scattered......

"Breakfast, breakfast~Breakfast is the source of vitality~~"

Today's breakfast at Hakurei Shrine is more modest than ever. After all, it's a mouth fighter who is in charge. However, considering that the harvest of not doing anything is often easier to satisfy desires, oh, especially the fact that the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei often eats enough for several days at a time at banquets, which is quite a pleasant thing.

"However, there is a pile of spoiled food outside, and the rice bowl in the kitchen is about to bottom out...... Hmmm......"

"The rice in the rice bowl is similar to the money in the money box."

Surprisingly, Youning's death was not violently suppressed. After a little consideration, Youning decisively switched to the big wet mode.

"The meaning of money is the proof of labor, in terms of the average labor time of society, the value you create can get the intermediate conversion symbol of how much labor results of others can get, therefore, work...... Feed?! ”

Reimu still looked like she was lacking in interest. Yunei thought about it for a moment and decided to move directly to the part that Reimu should be interested in.

"Reimu~Actually~ You are now sitting on a million fortunes~~ Do you think, what if...... Ugh"

Needless to say, Youning has already made up what kind of answer "If I buy your festival exercise with 100,000 yuan".

"What a defeat for you." Looking at Remeng's puzzled expression, Youning had no choice but to admit it, "I'll go clean up that pile of things......"

"Ah, thank you~"

Sure enough, Reimu's little expectation was immediately satisfied.

"Then, I'll go buy supplies for the banquet."

Then he threw down the dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't wait to leave.

"This ...... Yes, it should. ”

Youning looked at Reimu and replied easily and seriously.

"Huh?"

"Take it."

A lantern with a strange style is thrown at Reimu.

"Well...... The loot from the underworld, it's good to find Rinnosuke to get rid of it. ”

After a closer look, Reimu didn't comment, just let out a soft "oh".

After Reimu left, Yuning didn't take care of the dining table.

Walk gently to the backyard.

From his pocket, he took out an identical lantern.

I don't know what operation was done, but the wick lit up with an imperceptible cold light.

"Yo roar ~ guys take a hand ~~"

Laughing heartily, shouting like the rudder handle of a ship.

Slowly......

Phantom.

One by one...... Mass by mass, gathered together.

————————————====————————————

"You...... Just turned a mess into a pile, right?! ”

"Even if you say that, I don't see a place to throw garbage...... Maybe I'm going to run out of life and summon some legendary youkai to transfer it to another dimension? …… And then there is no then! ”

PS: No shame nonsense. Just three words.

I'm sorry. Thank. Move.
