The four seasons carry the sleepy Miyuki, and it seems that today's practice can only be carried out here.

Qiluno didn't wake up yet, so Shiki placed the thank-you gift next to her.

When he saw the pair of Ice Wings behind Kiruno, Shiki suddenly thought that maybe it would be better to use ice cream or something like that as a thank you gift, and he decided to do it next time.

Kirino is a suitable opponent for Miyuki, and the four seasons don't plan to end all at once.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a slight noise and scream in the grass next to him, which was covered with ice slag, apparently affected by the attack.

It seems that some animal in the grass has been attacked.

Shiki walked over, and the other party was also responsible for being attacked, and he decided to see if he could help.

Picking up the grass, the four seasons saw the creature.

Just one look at it makes sure it's not an ordinary creature. It is less than half a man tall, with an oval head and large red eyes, and looks like an alien like a fantasy little green man. It has three toes on its claws and hind feet that have the same anti-joints as goats. It has a row of spikes on its back vertebrae, which looks ferocious.

Overall, it's a ferocious-looking creature that doesn't look very good, and Shiki knows the name of this creature.

Chupacabra.

It is a legendary blood-sucking creature that haunts some farms and the like, and it feeds on the blood of its prey, mainly domestic animals. To put it simply, it is UMA in a general sense.

I didn't expect to see it here, but since Gensokyo is a place where all kinds of fantasy creatures gather, it's normal for UMA to appear.

Now the Chupacabra was lying on the ground, its limbs twitching, and it looked very miserable. Judging from the traces on the side, it should be very unlucky to be directly attacked by the cold air, and frostbite can be seen on its body. The Chupacabra is a very agile creature, and it is not easy to attack it, and this time it was really unlucky.

"I'm sorry."

Shiki picked up the Chupacabra and then performed a healing spell on it, and since it was not a serious injury, it was quickly healed.

As soon as he was able to move, Chupacabra jumped away from Shiki's hand and ran away without looking back.

Chupacabra isn't a creature close to people, and Shiki doesn't care about it.

After doing all these seasons, he was about to leave, but then he felt the smell of a man in the woods not far away.

The human breath was moving very fast, far faster than a normal human could run, and the other party was rushing towards it.

In the blink of an eye, you could already see the figure of that person, it was a young girl.

The girl was dressed as a standard maid, with short silver-white hair, two strands of braided hair on her shoulders, and she looked mature and cute. In addition, in the hands of the maid, a large cage is being carried in the hand.

Shiki knew why she was moving so fast, because the maid flew over, and from that she knew she wasn't an ordinary human.

"Huh? I didn't expect to see people here. ”

The maid fell from the sky and looked at them with some surprise.

"What's the matter?"

The other party is obviously rushing here, and it shouldn't be passing by.

"Nope. I just heard a noise here, so I just came over and took a look. ”

As she spoke, the maid glanced around.

"We're doing a battle practice, and nothing is happening."

Thinking about the movement just now, it was not small, and the maid was attracted to it.

"I see, I'm interrupted."

The maid gave a very polite salute.

"With all due respect, do you see a strange creature nearby?"

"What do you mean by strange creatures?"

"Hmm...... Probably like a goblin, but more pointed, with sharp claws and teeth. ”

The maid struggled to describe.

"Is it Chupacabra?"

Hearing the maid's description, Shiki remembered the Chupacabra he had just seen.

"Yes, yes! It's called Chupacabra. Have you seen it? ”

The maid's eyes widened with excitement.

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Right here."

"Huh?"

"That Chupacabra was frostbitten by the cold air just now, so I found it. Then after I cured it, it ran away. ”

"Ah~~~?"

The maid looked disappointed.

"Are you looking for that Chupacabra?"

"Yes, that's my eldest lady's pet. It was very dishonest and ran away by accident. If you enter a human village, you may cause a riot. ”

"I see."

The creature of Chupacabra is not very powerful, but it is very troublesome for ordinary people, and it cannot be said that there is no danger at all.

"Can you tell me, where did it go?"

The maid asked Shiki.

"I'll help you find it."

It is also said that the four seasons of their practice accidentally injured each other's pets.

"It's too much trouble for you."

The maid looked at Miyuki behind the four seasons.

"It's okay."

The moment he finished speaking, the four seasons expanded his spirit, and after reaching the middle circle, his perception coverage was much larger than before, and it was no problem to cover the entire area around the Lake of Mist.

"Found it."

"Have you found it yet?"

"Hmm."

Saying that, the four seasons flew into the air, and the maid immediately followed.

Soon they were at the spot where they had discovered the Chupacabra, which was still wandering through the woods, its tiny figure jumping from branch to trunk in a way that was completely beyond the range of the average human's dynamic vision.

Shiki prepares to use his telekinesis to catch the other party, but at the moment of action, the Chupacabra is gone.

“？”

Because of this unexpected situation, Shiki's heart was suspicious, but the Chupacabra he had locked in appeared beside him.

"Great, I've finally found it."

The maid grabbed Chupacabra's legs and said happily.

I don't know when the maid had already caught Chupacabra.

Shiki looked at the maid, and Shiki, a person who could do such a thing, had seen Shiki in his investigation of information about Gensokyo.

"Thank you very much for your help."

The maid bowed to the four seasons.

"It's really rude and I haven't introduced myself, I'm the maid of the Red Devil Pavilion near here, Sixteen Nightsaki Night."

"My name is Shiki."

After the other party reported his name, Shiki also reported his name.

Sure enough, as Shiki thought, the other party was Sixteen Nightsakiya, the maid of the Red Devil Pavilion, and the only human being inside. And she has the ability to manipulate time, to be able to stop it. So just now she was able to grab Chupacabra in an instant
