"Sister Zi, no, Lord Yakumo, Ancestor Yakumo, please be merciful!! The young man looked at the empty dishes that had been empty fifteen or sixteen times and the empty plates piled high in front of Yakumo Zi and screamed.

"Alaala, didn't Brother Lin say that the food is enough? Isn't that okay? Allah, add rice~" Pushing the bowl in front of the young man again without mercy, Yakumo Zi said with a smiling face that scared people to death.

"That said, but you have already dried up more than half of my food stock, if this continues, this winter will die, it will really die, in the winter in Gensokyo, there is nowhere to buy food, you don't know it!!!" The young man wanted to refuse the request to continue adding rice, but he had already boasted about Haikou before, and now it was useless to say anything, so he filled the bowl with a knife and pushed it back in front of Yakumo Zi.

"Oh? Is it? We really don't know. Yes! There's no food, Xiaolin~~" Yakumo Zi once again used a voice attack on the young man.

"Poof!!" The boy fell to the ground and died, the cause of death: death from anger.

'Nini (Brother Lin) (Yuelin), so pitiful~~' I have already finished eating the unscrupulous trio who were watching the play on the sidelines, I said, you really don't know, your winter food is being gnawed off little by little under Yakumo Zi's mouth.

――――――――――――――― teenager wants to cry without tears―――――――――――――――――

'It's over, it's all over, it's all over, this winter is over......' The young man knelt on the ground in frustration, and all kinds of dark words appeared behind him, and in front of him were countless empty saucers that had been wiped out by Yakumo Zi.

"Satisfied~ The dishes made by Brother Lin are really delicious, and I never get tired of eating them." Yakumo Zi sat aside with a smile, eating like that was like not eating, where did the whole dozen pots of rice disappear?

"Thanks for the compliment." The boy's voice was lifeless, without a hint of life.

I don't know if it was my conscience or I realized that I had gone too far, Yakumo Zi rarely comforted the young man, "Okay, don't be sad, the harvest in the human villages this year is very good, even in winter, there will still be grain to sell,"

"Really?" The young man looked at Yakumo Zi blankly, and he didn't believe it at all.

Yakumo Zi said confidently: "Little Brother Lin, your eyes are super rude, our family is for you, we have adjusted the land of the human village since the spring, it is very fertile, and we have also caught several agricultural masters from the outside, if there is no harvest this year, our family will not be surnamed Yakumo." (From spring?) I said, Sister Zi, should you start in the spring, just thinking about how to come to the young man's meal, and is there anyone who catches it casually? Where are the human rights? ）

"Ah~ So that's the case, Sister Zi, why didn't you say it earlier, I have been worried for so long, are you still hungry? Would you like to eat more?" The appearance of the young man made a 1,800-degree turn, the dark words behind him disappeared without a trace, his expression was extremely bright, his language was extremely sincere, and the whole person instantly became extremely enthusiastic, almost engraved on his face with the words I am a good person.

'Wow! Become so fast!!' The unscrupulous trio complained in their hearts.

Yakumo Zi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, our family is already full, and in addition to rubbing rice today, there is another thing I want Brother Lin to help with." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will not postpone it. The boy completely forgot what had happened before, and he was not afraid of death and boasted again.

And the facts also fulfill the sentence: if you don't die, you really won't die.

"Sure enough, it's little brother Lin, it's just easy to talk." Yakumo Zi covered the lower half of her face, so that people couldn't see her expression, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want Junior Brother Lin to launch a mutation." ”

"Oh~~, launch a mutation, no problem, isn't it just a mutation... Change... Is it? What the!!!!! Sister Zi, what are you talking about!! Let me start a mutation!? Are you sure you didn't say the wrong thing!? Oh~,I guess I heard it wrong.,Actually, you want me to solve the mutation? Well!! Absolutely, really, why has the ear been malfunctioning lately? Should I see a doctor? I heard the villagers in the world say that there seems to be a doctor with excellent medical skills in the bamboo forest, I don't know how much it costs?" The boy first couldn't believe it and then quickly made excuses for himself, delusionally trying to deceive his feelings, after all, the protector in front of him was called Gensokyo, Yakumo Zi would actually say something about the mutation or something, it's incredible.

The three people on the side were also stunned by Yakumo Zi's sudden words, and looked at the two who were talking stupidly. This shows how strong the teenager's endurance is.

"Hehe," quietly listening to the young man's self-deception, Yakumo Zi said with a smile: "Little Brother Lin, our family recommends that you better not go there to see a doctor, and I didn't say it wrong before, and you didn't hear it wrong, I just want you to launch a mutation." ”

"Little Brother Lin, what do you think of Reimeng's spell card rules?" Yakumo Zi suddenly came to such a sentence without a beginning or an end.

"Hmm~ Well~ there's nothing to say, it's very good." The young man whose thoughts were taken to the other side instantly calmed down and said slowly. "The main thing about the spell card rules is the gorgeous barrage, although it looks strong, but the actual attack power is only one percent or even one thousandth of the original. It plays a balancing role, and it can reduce the damage and impact of the fight between the monsters to Gensokyo to the limit, and all kinds of problems have been solved relatively fairly, to be honest, I didn't expect Reimu to find such a magical way. ”

"It is worthy of being a little brother Lin, and he understands it more thoroughly than ordinary people." Yakumo said with a sly expression. "It's true that because of the rules of the spell cards, the casualties between the monsters have become very few, and the management has become simpler, but in such a good situation, now they are facing a problem that has to be solved, which is quite tricky."

"What's the problem?" The young man asked curiously, and at the same time became vigilant, it was not like a problem that he could solve by himself to be said to be tricky by the old fox Yakumo Zi!!

"The human side refuses, no, it should be said, they don't trust the rules of the spell cards, they doubt the practicality of the rules of the spell cards, and they think that the rules of the spell cards are based on youkai, so they refuse to use the spell cards," Yakumo Zi put on a distressed expression, "Until now, I am still using my true power to retreat from the monsters, little brother Lin, do you think this is not fair?"

Looking at the young man's thoughtful expression, he continued: "It's really distressing, and I can't kill them all, but if it goes on like this, it won't be good for either humans or youkai." ”

After listening to Yakumo Zi's words, the young man also understood a little, and said: "What Sister Zi means is that she wants a person to use the spell card rules to launch a mutation, and let Reimu also use the spell card rules to solve it, if it is done well, it can make the human side fundamentally understand the benefits of the spell card rules and let them accept it." Am I right?"

Yayun Zi nodded, suddenly hugged the young man in his arms, and said with a smile: "That's it~, little brother Lin help, for the sake of our sister Zi~"

"Ah!, Sister Zi, don't be like this!! It's itchy!! Aha, spare me!! Sister Zi, surrender and surrender!!" The boy wants to avoid Yakumo's teasing, but he can't find it.

It was not easy for Yakumo Zi to stop, and the young man already had more qi in and less qi out, and the whole thing looked like he had been played.

'Huh? This scene is familiar!!' Marisa said to herself.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although this plan is fundamentally good, but, Sister Zi, you have ignored a problem!" A very deadly, critical question!!"

"Oh~~?" This time, Yakumo Purple turned around and looked at the boy curiously.

Looking at him like this, the young man's expression can be described as very embarrassed, and he said: "Although it is very shameless, but I haven't made my own spell card yet, which is also a fact, and I don't have enough popularity and power to cause a change that is enough to sweep the entire Gensokyo, Sister Zi, you have found the wrong person." ”

"What do we think it is? This isn't a problem at all~" Yakumo Zi patted the young man's head with a fan and said, "Little Brother Lin, you can go to find a helper, our family didn't say that you should cause a change alone, and~~, Little Brother Lin, you definitely don't know how good your reputation among the monsters is, right?" We bet that as long as you are willing to speak, there will be monsters to help. ”

"As for the power~, indeed, Little Brother Lin, you still have enough power to be the mastermind of the mutation, so our family decided to relax the time from the beginning, as long as the mutation is initiated within ten years, ten years, Little Brother Lin, are you enough?" Yakumo Zi said with a smile, ten years is almost one-seventh of a human lifespan, or even more, and for the lifespan of a monster that can easily be thousands of years, it seems a little insignificant, perhaps in their eyes, ten years is equivalent to ten days in the eyes of humans, or even shorter.

Listening to Yakumo Zi's words, the young man was silent, there are too many things that will happen in ten years, and no one can predict that although with the system, he is sure that he will increase his strength enough to bear everything in ten years, but is it really a big man to drag such a critical matter for so long? Can you really wait so long for this kind of thing?

The young man looked at Yakumo Zi intently, indeed, Yakumo Zi is old and unserious many times, but Lin Meng and Mo Lisha both respect him quite a lot, even to the point of not asking the reason, he has also enjoyed the same treatment, people like her rarely make mistakes, and there must be her reasons to find herself.

Thinking of this, the young man nodded and said, "Sister Zi, you really gave me a big burden, but I accept this task, believe me, I will definitely do it." ”

At the moment when the boy spoke, the system also sent a prompt:

―――――――――――――――――― system prompts――――――――――――――――――

【Players accept the main quest】

[Time remaining: 10 years]

――――――――――――――――――― done――――――――――――――――――――

Yakumo's expression was still the same smiling expression, not a little surprised, as if he knew from the beginning that the boy would agree.

"Then please leave it to Little Brother Lin. Oh!! By the way, the stone I sent before, why didn't it work, according to our observation, Brother Lin, don't you really need this type of prop?"

The young man's expression froze again, his expression became even more embarrassed, and he said: "That, this, because, so, Sister Zi, I didn't have that stone with me, and now, it should still be lying in the warehouse in the shrine." ”

"Oh~~" Yakumo Zi's expression was a little playful, and he asked, "Why don't you bring it with you?" Can't you?"

"What can't you do!! But, Sister Zi, didn't you take into account that I don't have the ability to use it now? You have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and the exercise has to be done step by step, right?" The young man's voice first climbed to the top of the road, then weakened instantly, and said helplessly. "All in all, the stone is not on me now, and because I fell out with Reimu (really←_←), I can't get it back."

"If that's the case, I'll help you once!" As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a gap was opened directly above the young man, and a small, black object fell out of it, and smashed it on the young man's head in a free-fall position.

At this time, the young man was no longer Wuxia Ameng at that time, he quickly hid to the side, connected his hands, and stopped before the stone hit the ground.

However, even if it is only a small piece, its weight is far from what today's teenagers can imagine.

Not long after the stone arrived, the boy had almost exhausted all his strength, his hands were already congested and swollen more than doubled, and the stone slab under his feet was also stepped out of deep footprints, and he was about to lose his strength.

"It's so heavy!!" With great difficulty, he lowered the stone to the height of the ground, let go of his hand, and gently placed it on the ground, and even so, the stone still pressed an identical small pit in the floor, which was deeply embedded in the ground.

"Ah, little brother Lin's strength has risen~, then please leave it to you." Yakumo Zi smiled and opened a gap after saying this, and wanted to walk in.

Looking at the place where Yakumo Zi disappeared, the young man thought of a place and said in confusion: "Wait, Sister Zi, why don't you just use the power of the realm to change the minds of human beings?"

"When~yet~is~because~for~good~fun~la~!" After saying that, he disappeared into the gap in an instant.

Leaving only the speechless teenager and the onlooker trio who just came back to their senses.

"I said Nini, you don't really want to cause a change in ten years, do you? Isn't that the opposite of Reimu? It's not in line with Nini's character!" After Yakumo Zi left, the girl and others on the side suddenly surrounded the boy in the middle, and kept asking all kinds of questions.

"Yes, yes, Brother Lin, you are too inconsiderate, how can you agree to this kind of thing? Yakumo Zi, that old woman, is playing some ghost ideas every time, it's very dangerous. Marisa said loudly, understanding Yakumo's character very thoroughly!

"Yuelin, the mutation is very dangerous." Although Kagetsuki's words were short, she could hear that she was worried.

"Ximei is happy, Ximei is happy, do you think I won't think of this kind of thing? I underestimate me too much, and the mutation I want to cause this time is a spell card mutation, which is essentially different from the previous ones, and the danger is definitely not as big as you imagined~" The young man said slowly, his expression became more calm than Yakumo Zi, making people feel that the previous ones would not all be pretended!?

"And isn't there still 10 years left? During this time, let me think about how to make the mutation as sensational as possible with zero casualties, so that you can see what the power of wisdom is. "The boy's nose was raised high, and his confidence was unconvincing.

"So, Brother Lin, you underestimate the mutation~" Marisa said loudly, growing up in Gensokyo since she was a child, she quite understands the horror of mutation.

"Yuelin, careless pride can't be." Shadow Moon said.

It took a lot of saliva for the young man to completely put the two of them at ease, and at the same time swore that no matter what happened, he would never be in any danger, and he would not let others be in danger.

"No, I will never agree to !!!" The girl also shouted, "Nini, can you not do these dangerous things every time!! I'm worried!!"

"You, if you're worried about me, you'll usually get into less trouble, and I'm tired of running around all day long!!" The boy complained mercilessly.

"And that's not because," the girl's face grew redder.

"Because of what?" The boy asked curiously.

"Ahhhh Nini, you give the big bad guy and don't pay attention to you anymore!!" With that, he kicked the boy in the stomach and ran back to his room.

"Hmm~~There's no need to be so ruthless~~Even the mental power has been used~~" The young man clutched his stomach and screamed.

"Brother Lin (Yuelin) is so pitiful~~, but it's so interesting~~" Marisa and Shadow Moon on the side said at the same time.

"You two," the young man gritted his teeth, eager to catch them and beat them up, and he hadn't settled accounts with them for today's affairs, "Forget it, I'm going to sleep, I've been messing around all day today." ”

After speaking, he glared at the two of them with vicious eyes, and instantly retreated into the mental room, and fell asleep.

"That's it? I haven't seen enough yet~" Marisa and Kagetsuki sighed at the same time, the two main characters were gone, and the two of them had nothing to say, so they all dispersed to rest.

―――――――――――――――――― girl's room――――――――――――――――――

The girl threw herself directly on the bed, clutching the pillow, and her mind was always about the previous incident, after all, the vampire mutation left too deep an impression on her, and even almost lost the most important person.

As a result, the girl still has an almost instinctive fear of mutation, so the girl is also the most resolute one to refuse of all.

"Nini Yaga!! Yaga!! Big Baga!!" Treat the pillow as a teenager and beat him severely.

"Don't take a pillow to be angry~" The boy suddenly appeared in front of the girl and said, "As your brother, I know why you are so resolute, but Xiaoling, have you ever thought that if the rules of the spell card fail, you will mean that the change will fail, and Gensokyo will return to that bloody and power-first era, do you think this is really good?"

The girl was silent, what her brother said was very reasonable, but she didn't want her brother to take risks anyway, this is the same as my brother didn't want to take risks by myself, my brother was worried about myself, why didn't I worry about my brother?

"But it's dangerous." The girl's tone finally weakened.

"That's why I've got a good idea, and I must, no, make a zero-casualty mutation to change your mind." The boy said confidently.

After speaking, he scratched the girl's nose and said, "So, don't worry, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to sleep well, don't forget, we are two bodies and one body." ”

"Hehe" The girl was amused by the boy's actions, and at the same time felt the resoluteness in the boy's heart, the previous unhappiness was instantly swept away, and said with a smile: "Every time Nini says this, it must be no good, but, as your sister, I believe in Nini, Nini, don't let me down." ”

"Of course it is." The boy laughed, "That's right! Xiaoling, when you played the S-rank before, what was drawn in the lottery?"

"Oh, that's it, I don't understand the things that the Nini system has rewarded this time~ at all." As she spoke, the girl took out a small red ball from her inventory that looked like a ping-pong ball and handed it to the boy.

The young man looked at it carefully and said, "The name displayed in the pear in the information column is an upgrade stone, and the level is D-level. It should be used to upgrade equipment. ”

―――――――――――――――――― information bar――――――――――――――――――――

[Item Name: Upgrade Stone (Red)]

[Selling price: 1 gold coin]

―――――――――――――――――― done―――――――――――――――――――――

"Upgrading your equipment? I see, I'm going to use the Symbiosis Furnace again, but it's getting late, so let's talk about the rest tomorrow! Good night, little spirit, and I wish you a good dream. With that, the boy floated slowly to the roof, and in an instant he passed through it (the soul state defies all obstacles).

"Good night, Nini."

on the roof,

"The temperature is starting to drop very much, and in winter, oh, it's snowing." The young man opened his hand and watched the falling snowflakes pass through his palms (soul state), and a strange feeling welled up in his heart, "I don't know, how is Reimu doing now, do you have a good home quilt?"

In the Hakurei Shrine,

Reimu sat alone in the hallway, a month ago it was a noisy hallway, now the silence is terrifying, maybe only in the hallway, Reimu can find that feeling of warmth, even if she knows that this trace of warmth is just an ethereal phantom, Reimu still doesn't want to give up, because this is already her only treasure left.

"Brother Lin!! Reimu, I miss you so much. Reimu, who was unconscious even though the snowflakes were falling on her body, whispered.

The two of them, who are separated by two places but miss each other, the gears of fate have finally begun to turn, do you think I will say that? Come on, the gears of fate began to turn the moment the teenager broke into Gensokyo, and now at most it's just a matter of speeding up, these two are really idle, and they have nothing to do to separate!!
