"You guys really blew the door open for me!"

??

?? Marisa looked at Reimu and said with a devastated expression.

??

?? Although she managed to break into the Netherworld, Marisa didn't feel any joy. Because Hakuri Reimu's behavior was really beyond her expectations.

??

?? She didn't expect the shrine maiden to suddenly throw a bunch of talismans and blow the Nether Gate to pieces...... To be honest, she didn't know that the well-known lazy guy in Gensokyo also had a penchant for destroying things.

??

??「 Are you surprised? Marisa."

??

?? Reimu, on the other hand, ignored Marisa's mixed look and chuckled playfully.

??

??「 Nonsense! Of course I was surprised! Who would have thought that you would blow up the gate with your hand————

??

??「 ————I see, you must talk to Sixteen Wild Sakuya. I think she'll be more surprised than you are."

??

??「 Uh......"

??

?? Miss Thief, who was good at stealing, immediately became speechless.

??

?? Reimu Hakurei's interjection in the middle of the conversation was indeed irritating, but the truth she said had an unshakable heaviness that left Marisa with no room for rebuttal.

??

?? If you think about it carefully, it's clear that you don't damage the building much in normal times, and you really don't have the momentum to straighten your waist and reprimand others here.

??

?? It should be said that whether it is the cold-faced maid or the arrogant vampire young girl, if she sees her here righteously and sternly denounce the atrocities of the witch, she may be angry and want to kill.

Because it's clear that she's the biggest saboteur. She didn't question Reimu's stance at all.

Of course, Marisa's words couldn't shake Reimu at all. Because Reimu doesn't care about things that have been destroyed. Besides, even if someone asks her for compensation afterwards, she can also find a monster "idle" person to reimburse.

…… At least during the execution of the mutation, there will still be people to clean up the aftermath. This is also one of the few benefits that Reimu has as a Hakurei shrine maiden.

"I'd like to go in gently, if I can...... However, I don't think the culprit of the mutation would be polite enough to invite us to swagger in."

The shrine maiden who chuckles with ease、It seems so trustworthy。 And in the past, she has also proved how amazing the power of action lurks under her languid appearance, and once she gets serious, no one can match her Hakurei Reimu.

Marisa believed so.

However, she was very unwilling.

"I'd love to agree with what you've said, but what's going on with this frustration......

"That's just an illusion, just ignore it."

"No, I don't think so."

For Reimu's act of opening his mouth to interpret his entanglement with an illusion, Marisa denied it without even thinking about it.

However, she didn't plan to dwell on this matter.

"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, what we have to do now is move forward and defeat the real culprit, and there's nothing else to pay attention to."

Holding the brim of her dark hat, Marisa said in a cheerful voice.

「…………」

Hearing this heart-wrenching speech、Reimu wordlessly glanced at the girl beside him。

Maybe you will fall into confusion because of misunderstandings, or you may fall into sadness because of frustration, but Marisa Kiriyu can always break free from these constraints and sweep away all gloom in the fastest time.

If it's a talent to be heartless...... Then Marisa's embodiment of this talent is really the envy of Reimu.

————— likewise, she would never tell Marisa about it.

Just as she was secretly making up her mind, she couldn't help but notice that Marisa's pretty face had changed slightly.

To be precise, her originally combative gaze has become a little lax as if it has been mixed with impure "impurities".

By the way, the girl was originally a curious guy. It's not at all surprising that you're suddenly drawn attention to something else.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing......

Marisa, who was riding on a broomstick, looked around and said with a hint of disappointment.

"It just feels like the underworld is so ordinary."

As the girl said, the darkness unfolding in front of the two of them at this moment is really nothing particularly impressive.

Except for the gloomy sky and the occasional fluttering of cherry blossom petals————— there is no difference from the outside world.

Hearing Marisa's disappointment, Reimu couldn't help but laugh.

"So, what should the original Netherworld look like in your eyes? Isn't it possible that there are many painful souls floating around in the sky?"

"Hmm......"

Marisa pursed her lips in embarrassment.

In fact, the scene described by Reimu is exactly the underworld she imagined. It's just that judging from Reimu's smiling expression now, there is indeed a gap between reality and imagination that cannot be ignored.

However, because of this, Marisa is even more embarrassed to admit in front of Reimu that she did have such unrealistic reverie. So she had to vaguely fool the past.

It's a pity that her cute behavior wants to hide from Hakuri Reimu, which is really a fool's dream.

"Marisa, that's hell, not the underworld."

"What the underworld, hell! It's all inconsequential stuff! You still can't solve the mutation?! I'll just talk about some of the things that don't have here!"

Marisa, who seemed to be annoyed, suddenly snarled at Reimu with a stern expression. If you ignore the flush on her cheeks, you can't ignore it...... Then it's quite convincing.

"Of course, to solve the ...... But until then, until that guy is dealt with, there's no use in being anxious."

As she spoke, a meaningful smile appeared on Reimu's lips.

"What? What that guy? Who's that guy?"

"Isn't it right in front of you?"

Reimu's rhetorical question finally caused Marisa to look away from her and turn straight ahead.

…… Speaking of which, after blowing up the Nethergate, the two of them came to a staircase that stretched upwards. But what is maddening is that this staircase seems to have no end in sight, and it stretches upwards endlessly.

Thankfully, it was only "seemingly", and now the two of them finally saw the top of the stairs, and the figure standing at the end of the stairs.

Marisa's eyesight was pretty good, so she could see the figure clearly.

It was a young girl, about the same age as herself, but the spirits floating around her were announcing that she was not as innocent as she seemed. Marisa has reason to believe that this girl will be her enemy.

Because if it weren't for this, her eyes wouldn't be so sharp and calm. That's a look aimed at the prey.

Reaching the top of the stairs, both Reimu and Marisa stopped flying. Because the girl stood motionless under the two of them, and had no intention of giving way.

In general, it is already clear what to do at such a time. Because the girl's intention is also obvious, which is to block their path, then it stands to reason that Marisa should have let her magic bullet start pouring crazy at this time.

"I've seen you in the Eternal Pavilion, haven't I?"

Staring at the silver-haired girl in a green shirt, Marisa asked.

It's not an illusion.、The girl's delicate face is very familiar、It's definitely a face I've seen in the Eternal Pavilion.。 Marisa still has an impression of this, and she even asked Fei Fei's name as a girl, but now it seems that she is quite forgetful.

"Are you...... Who's that?"

Marisa was deeply upset that her name, which had been banished to the corner of her memory, was about to blurt out, only to sink back into her memory at the last minute, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Fortunately, Reimu on the side helped her resolve the embarrassment.

"She is the court master of the Soul Demon Dream and the White Jade Building."
