December 31, 10 p.m

"Aha! Today's fight was really enjoyable, and the Hakurei shrine maiden is indeed a veritable powerhouse," Kanako smiled happily, "Here!" The most important thing in Moriya Shrine is wine, so you can have a good drink today."

"Kanako is very happy," Suwako stood in the corridor and looked in, "Kanako is really a brainless Kanako."

Sanae's eyes flickered as she looked at Reimu sitting in the lower seat

"Sanae, what's wrong" Suwako asked, "Do you want to ask Hakurei Shrine Maiden for anything?"

"Uh-huh! I hope to become a good wind blessing quickly, and for this is a must for the help of the Hakurei shrine maiden," Sanae nodded vigorously

"Hmm" Suwako helplessly raised her forehead and sighed, "What the hell is going on, it's us who have become a branch now, right?"

"Suwako, Sanae" Kanako's shout came from inside the house, "What are you doing outside, come in quickly"

"Yes," Suwako reluctantly agreed, and then stepped into the house with Sanae

(Forget it, it's good that Kanako and Sanae are happy) Suwako smiled in her heart

Ten minutes later

"I'm sorry, I can't drink anymore" Reimu put down his glass "Wait a minute, I'm going back to Hakurei Shrine to hold a festival, if I'm drunk, it will be very difficult"

"Huh? How can this work, I haven't drunk enough wine," Kanako said dissatisfiedly, "You defeated my Kanako's honored guest, and you went back if you didn't have a good time, but you looked down on me?" ”

"No, it's not," Reimu replied, "It's just that the sacrifice in Gensokyo is different from the outside world, it is a very important annual festival, and you must not get drunk or get dirty."

"Then what do you say," Kanako's tone softened a little, "Why don't I go too?" ”

"Kanako, we're going to hold a New Year's festival here too" Suwako glanced at her, "What are you doing when you're not there?"

"Aren't there two more hours?"

"I'm sorry, I should have started preparing two hours ago," Reimu thanked apologetically, "Thanks for the hospitality, if you still want to drink, I think you should have a banquet for someone"

"I had a banquet," Kanako shrugged, "but no one came"

"None of them came?" Reimu was surprised, "I thought it was too late for you to invite."

"Heh, it seems that they don't give us outsiders face" Kanako sneered, "Then why should I invite them, the invitation should be thrown into the sea"

"Ah~I'm sorry~I'm late~" A flirtatious female voice sounded, and Yakumo Zi had already flashed out of the gap, "Has the banquet started?" ”

"Coming back?" Reimu glanced at her, "What about the others?" ”

"Oh, it's coming soon," Yakumo Murasaki said as if she was very happy, "I wonder if everyone at Moriya Shrine is having a good time?" ”

"Thank you for your care, it's okay," Kanako said lightly, "What are you doing here, I don't remember sending you an invitation"

"Is the amount of energy as a god so small~" Yakumo Zi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just here to pick up Reimu and leave, as for the other guests, they will be there soon"

"Suwako, who did we invite" Kanako didn't pay attention to her, but turned her head and asked Suwako

"Almost all of them, except for the underground and the underworld," Suwako replied, "It's eight o'clock in the evening, but it's been two hours now."

"You don't know the rules of Gensokyo, they don't always have time," Yakumo explained, "At the end of the year, almost all youkai and humans have to prepare for the New Year's ceremony, and the preparation for the ceremony lasts from 8 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, and I guess they should be there now."

"Reimu~I'm not here~" The lively girl's voice sounded "I'm coming to you, DAZE"

"Marisa," Reimu said, looking at the black-and-white magician, "I wonder why you didn't show up all day today."

"Xianglin is short of manpower, I'm going to help~" Marisa said, "I can't compete with you anyway, so I'll just give you the opportunity to be famous"

"Hehe," Reimu twitched

"BY THE WAY, I SAW THE PEOPLE FROM THE RED DEVIL HALL JUST NOW, SO IT'S PROBABLY HALFWAY UP THE MOUNTAIN," MARISSA SAT DOWN ON THE MAT, "SO IT'S INCONVENIENT TO SAY THAT YOU CAN'T FLY."

"It's not a good idea to fly over Mt. Youkai," Reimu said, "It's easy to hit a tengu."

"ALRIGHT, I'M MUCH FASTER THAN THEY DO," MARISSA LAUGHED

"Your friend," Kanako interjected, "Surprisingly rude."

"Gensokyo's specialty," Reimu explained, "There is no distinction between host and guest at the banquet."

"Hmm," Sanae pondered beside her, "Can't you use the common sense of the outside world to understand Gensokyo," I always feel like a girl, there is something wrong with your mind, and it seems that you need electrotherapy

"Knock" Youmeng bowed at the door and said, "Please allow me to come in"

"Purple, I'm done with my business, so I'm here~" Yuyuko beckoned with a smile

"It seems that everyone is coming soon, then I'll take Reimu and go first" Yakumo Zi took Reimu in his arms

"Sha" Kanako and Suwako involuntarily blocked Sanae

(Yakumo Purple turned out to be a lily control) The two gods couldn't help but think like this

"Then I'll go first, if you don't have enough wine, please find someone else to drink" Yakumo Zi smiled and saluted,

"Trouble" Suwako complained "Cheer up, this is the trouble you caused"

"Heh, what's there to be afraid of drinking, if you can't drink enough, go out first" Kanako waved her hand haughtily, "You have to get drunk in the shrine today!" ”

"Boom!" Chong, who was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, fell from a high altitude into the shrine at this inopportune time

"Rooftops!!" Sanae let out a small cry of sorrow

Chong looked around for a moment, and then suddenly wanted to smash his own head with a bottle

"As an Oriental, I drink red wine on New Year's Eve," Kanako couldn't help but be interested, "Human, don't you open it and drink it?"

"This is for sacrifice," Chong Dan Dao "is not for drinking"

"Are you kidding, red wine is used for sacrifices?" Kanako couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Which god are you worshipping?"

"You don't have to worry about it," Chong said, turning his head

"Haha, I appreciate this stubbornness, but this is my shrine, you have to listen to me" Kanako grabbed the red wine in Chong's hand as soon as she stretched out her hand

“！” Chong immediately drew his sword and rose

"How dare you pull out a knife on me for a bottle of wine," Kanako was also a little surprised, "Is it commemorative?" ”

"Nope"

"Very expensive?"

"Yes, but it's nothing to me"

"Giving someone as a gift?"

"No"

"That's not it, the sake is meant to be drunk, it's of no value, what else do you have to be heartbroken" Kanako said "It's a big deal to return you a bottle, Sanae, go to the backyard and get a bottle of sake"

"It's just a bottle of wine, don't feel distressed~" Marisa comforted

"Red wine? There are a lot of them in the Red Devil Pavilion, so if you want me to give you a few bottles," Remilia, who had just arrived at the shrine, said proudly, "but all of them are famous wines, although no one usually drinks them."

"Forget it, I don't want it" Chong took the knife back, "but remember, I don't want anyone to take everything from me"

"I see, you guys really have a temper" Kanako laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give you a gift that matches the value of this bottle and take it home."

"Kanako" Suwako saw Kanako open the wine and asked, "When did you like to drink Western wine?"

"Let's taste it," Kanako chuckled, "Suwako, do you want to come too?"

"You're really welcome," said Suwako, who picked up the wine saucer and handed it to Kanako

"I don't know if I have a heart, Yuyuko suddenly chuckled, it sounded a little like a joke

Chong didn't speak, just planned to leave

"Everyone is here, so you might as well leave later," Kanako waved his hand, and Chong was brought to the side seat by a huge force, "Outsiders don't care about the last day of the year, do they?" They only care about the New Year's season, which starts in January"Kanako poured out some red wine and drank it all in one gulp, "Well, this wine tastes good, but it's not as fun as sake"

Chong looked at Kanako drinking the red wine she bought on a plate (but she could really drink it, and some kind of Cheng dù was also used for sacrifices)

-- Anyway, it's all for the dead to drink, whatever

Thirty minutes later

"What's the matter, only ghosts can drink in the huge Gensokyo?" Kanako looked at the corpses all over the ground and couldn't help complaining, "Sanae, you have a drink"

"Kanako-sama, I'm going to prepare for the ceremony" Sanae hurriedly said, "I really can't drink it!" ”

"Then you drink," Kanako pointed to Chong, who had been playing soy sauce

"No, I can't"

"Okay, okay, let's take a sip honestly" Kanako teleported to Chong's side before she could say anything, and then poured the wine into Chong's mouth with a strong splash

“？！！” Chong hurriedly covered his mouth and retreated

"Poof!" As if his face was being steamed on the oven, Chong's face turned red in the blink of an eye

"Boom!" Suwako took a little blow and put him down

"Wouldn't it? This guy doesn't seem to be able to drink any alcohol," Suwako said in surprise, "and got drunk?" ”

"This amount of alcohol is too much" Kanako said dissatisfied, "What should I do, there is no one to drink with me"

"Don't keep thinking about drinking, go to the backyard, I have something to say" Suwako drank the rest of the wine

"Knowing what Suwako wants to say, it's okay, the plan can only be postponed for a few months" Kanako yawned

"Is it really good?"

"Of course," Kanako said with a smile, "no matter how long it takes, the spark of change will eventually be ignited by us, and this Gensokyo can't become a second ancient country."

"Sanae, get the materials ready, let's start welcoming the new era!" Kanako said loudly

"Yes! I'm going to get ready now! Sanae said strictly

"Suwako, let's go over and have a look," Kanako followed Sanae to the backyard

"Got it, Kanako"

"Heh, I'll use the mirror for you first, I really think it's interesting" Kanako looked at Chong, who was already unconscious, and smiled, "Humans who can be looked down upon by many strong people, your future will be shown to our gods who guard the arrow, isn't it more interesting to have a guy who has no faith and fear at all?" ”

"Maybe he'll be the pioneer of a new era," Kanako laughed

"Kanako, daydreaming" Suwako couldn't help but doubt her friend's eyes

"Yes, daydreaming, how can there be such a powerful human" Kanako walked towards the backyard "But some things can't be guessed by intuition alone"

"Because everyone has the right to open up the world."

postscript

"This is the fourth failure" the woman pushed her glasses, "We have lost faith in you, let's nullify the peace treaty"

"Whatever, it's my fault," came an apology

"You did too much this time, you actually want to take advantage of family affection" The woman sneered, "If I hadn't come out in time, that girl named Sanae of Dongfeng Valley would have been poisoned"

"Of course not, because"

"Because she's a pawn that you can play a few chess games," the woman's tone was even colder, "We'll play next time"

"No, I'll do it myself next time"

"The fruit is ripe, so do you plan to pick it yourself? The season seems to have gone wrong, though," the woman sneered

"Huh"

"Then I'll give you another chance, otherwise next time it's our time slot"

"Understood"

"Oh, that's good, then I'll go back first," the woman walked into the distance

"Although the plan to kill people with a knife did not succeed, the time is ripe" The folding fan was lowered, and the man chuckled, "Next, it's time to hunt~"
