The bright light that rushed into the sky dispelled the darkness of the underworld.

It was the magical brilliance that spread after the power of Hakurei Reimu collided violently with the undead princess.

Magic, spiritual power, or mana power, are essentially independent of the five elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, the transformation of the ether. The essence of magic is nothingness, and these pure powers should have no attributes, like colorless white paper waiting to be rendered by others.

However, only the ether that exists in the void is as pure and colorless as the manifestation of emptiness. The magic generated by the human body is the energy that has been processed, and even if the pure ether is drawn from the outside world, it will be dyed with a different color after being used.

Because human beings themselves are attribute-oriented.

Marisa herself, for example, has the attributes of light and heat, so the magic she creates from herself is itself a bright blazing white. And her own physique is not very good at too fine magic, because her magic is quite dynamic, and is full of bright, restless and powerful acceleration just like herself. Thanks to this attribute, although the other magic is so-so, the girl herself is indeed a genius magic bullet shooter. The instantaneous acceleration and maximum output of her magic are astonishing. It was nowhere near the level that a trainee magician of her grade should have.

Marisa was able to achieve this level at her current grade because the path she chose was in line with her nature. But the girl herself didn't think it was a big deal.

Anyone can do this kind of thing. Mana will produce unique colors depending on the user's characteristics, but only if the magic is rendered in a unique color according to one's own will is the proof of a good sorcerer.

That's something Marisa hasn't been able to do so far. Her magic is always like a spinning star cluster, ready to explode, like a wild horse on the loose. It's hard to make this kind of magic have other attributes.

…… But Hakurei Reimu is different.

The colorful bullets of light ignore all laws of physics and undoubtedly negate the fluttering butterflies. Seeing that the Dead Soul Butterfly, which had originally devoured its own barrage, was gradually devoured by Reimu's barrage. Marisa, who was already aware of the gap between the two, couldn't help but be discouraged.

Anyone who sees an enemy that he can't defeat is tied with his friends in the blink of an eye, and even shows signs of defeat, the feeling of disparity that comes to his heart is really not very pleasant.

But Marisa is a cheerful guy after all, and although she has a slight inferiority complex because of the power of the shrine maiden, she has never closed her heart.

In this way, she still has the courage to face her shortcomings. So she never had a hostility to Hakurei Reimu out of insecurity and fear because of her weakness.

He took a deep breath, then spit it out again. It's like throwing unrelated distractions out of your body with this breath. Marisa tries to concentrate on watching the gorgeous battle.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out either.

But this time it is no longer the loss from the heart that disturbs the girl, but the voice from the outside world.

The sound of footsteps coming from behind made it difficult for Marisa to calm down, and anyone who noticed someone approaching behind her would not be reassured. The girl who often does amazing things is still no different from ordinary people at this point, and she also feels a little unhappy. But her reaction was different.

"Who?!"

She jerked away, and shouted in the direction from which the voice came from with a menacing expression.

Marisa's move was met with a sudden attack.

A blow that was swifter than the wind, and it hit the girl's smooth forehead with precision.

"Oops!"

A girlish scream.

It didn't take a second to burst the momentum, and I want to say why. It doesn't feel very comfortable to be knocked on the forehead with a knuckle for a moment.

It was not a terrible pain, but it was very deep.

Almost instantly, the girl bent down with her forehead in her arms.

The culprit who committed such "evil deeds" couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this scene.

"Hahaha...... That's so cute. Marisa."

"You will be punished, Ah Fei."

Marisa stared at the white figure standing in front of her with a resentful gaze, deaf to the praise that flowed from the other party.

Needless to say, the person who came was a martial god who had disappeared for a while.

Although she was cursed by Marisa, she was so powerful that she didn't show any anger on her face, but instead smiled cheerfully.

"Perhaps. But until then, I think it's worth it just to see you now."

He looked at Marisa's flushed sneer and said unconcernedly.

Marisa Kiri Rain also has times when she is particularly cute, and that's how she looks when she gets angry. The moist eyes that revealed intense emotions and the cheeks that were dyed scarlet with anger made her reproach feel like she was coquettish.

Of course, this is a delicate scale. It's not easy to make the girl indignant but not really angry.

But for Feili, who has almost watched Marisa grow up and has a deep city, it is only easy to skillfully tease the girl's mood within the critical point.

I know that no matter how much I say, it's just a wasted effort. After glaring fiercely at the gentle and smiling Feili, Marisa continued to focus on the two who were still fighting fiercely in the sky.

…… However, she also noticed that Fei Li stood silently beside her. The man always manages to distract the girl, and while he doesn't want to admit it, the truth is that Marisa's gaze always follows his form.

Marisa herself is aware of this. She didn't pay much attention to it, though.

Because she can't help but focus on Reimu's body. The reason for this reaction is probably just because both guys are hateful people.

Always feeling that it would be embarrassing for two people to stand together and not say anything, Marisa, driven by this thought, couldn't help but speak.

"So...... Do you know why Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple caused this change?"

Although she was ashamed of herself for being angry when she should have been silent, she accosted the man so easily, but if the man took the next step, then Marisa was going to forgive him for his previous actions.

However, what the girl saw out of the corner of her eye made her almost angry.

I saw Fei Li glance at her meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth immediately flashed with a fiery smile.

In fact, from an objective point of view, Fei's smile is far less hateful than Marisa's eyes, because of his excellent appearance, his smile even deserves the words "charismatic". It's a pity that under the subjective role of a girl, no matter what a man does, it's so hateful.

…… Besides, the flying smile itself is indeed a joke.

Realizing that continuing to tease would likely ignite the powder keg in the girl's heart, Fei Li still tried to restrain his smile and replied with a proper attitude.

"Because I want the Westward Demon to bloom."

Indeed the correct answer. But it doesn't make sense.

Because even Marisa knew the answer, it wasn't the known result that she wanted from Flying.

The bright golden eyes showed contempt, and the girl said in a disdainful voice.

"I guess you know that's not what I'm asking, right? What I want to ask is what the consequences of the Westward Demon Bloom will be - is that the real motive of the undead princess?!"

"I do know that's not what you're asking."

Fei Li nodded as a matter of course.

His too-natural attitude made Marisa's heart fire for a while, and if it weren't for the obvious difference in strength between the two sides, the girl would never have discouraged her intention to shoot a magic cannon at the man's handsome face.

It was naturally impossible for Marisa not to see the anger between her eyebrows, so he waved his hand and said to the girl gently.

"No, no, no, don't be so angry. I'm not kidding you—I don't know what the consequences of the Westward Demon blooming will be."

Fei Li told the truth. In exchange for the girl's suspicious gaze.

「……」

Marisa was silent. There was no answer. But the undisguised skepticism was well expressed.

Fei Li really wanted to laugh bitterly.

He said the truth, but in exchange for such a reaction, what is his image in the eyes of a girl?

If it weren't for the estimation of personal privacy, Feili really wanted to use his own strength to read Marisa's thoughts at this moment.

"I'm telling the truth. I'm just a complete bystander."

"You, a bystander?"

"That's right. Watching the fire from across the shore is something I really like to do."

The man chuckled and said lines that weren't much to be proud of.
