Chapter 45: The Power of Money
The arc lit up for only a moment before dissipating as Sugi withdrew his power, but Marisa still stared blankly at the unsheathed sword in front of her.
It wasn't until a moment later that she said with a look of disbelief, "I found this thing." β
"Otherwise, I can't tease you?" Su Mu gave her a roll of his eyes.
"But...... But ......"
Marisa opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, and then asked with a flattering face, "So do I have any similar treasures here?" β
"Yes, at least there are 16 more I can detect, and two of them have a breath above this knife." Su Mu said with a smile.
βοΌβ
Marisa's eyes lit up, but before she could speak, Su Mu said again, "If you want to ask me which ones I am, forget it." β
"Huh? Why? β
"I haven't noticed it after being here for so long, it just means that those things have nothing to do with you, right?" Su Mu said as a matter of course.
"What the hell is fate, these obviously belong to my collection!"
"Just left it with you, right? If I'm not mistaken, nine out of ten of these things are of unknown origin, so you dare say it's yours? β
"Hmmββ!"
Looking at the girl's choked appearance, Su Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "Besides, isn't it good to just leave it there?" Anyway, even if you give it to you, you're just using it as a toy, right? After allβ"
As he spoke, Su Mu lowered his gaze to the hem of her skirt and said with a smile, "Don't you have a nice weapon?" β
"Haha~ That's what I said."
Marisa laughed heartily, then looked at Su Mu with interest, and asked, "It's you, Su Mu, why don't you take all those good things when you found them?" β
"Because we're trading, not blackmailing. The transaction is about equivalent exchange, and I have taken advantage of it. β
At his level, he generally doesn't like to owe others, so even if he can easily fool away those things.
"Oh, do you need to compensate me?" Marisa asked with a straight face.
"......" Su Mu looked at her speechlessly, then sighed and asked, "Do you have anything you want?" β
"Give me a copy of the spellbook when you get it from Pacully."
"Huh? You can't just go to her ......."
As he spoke, Su Mu's voice suddenly paused, and then nodded: "I understand." β
He changed his words because he saw a hint of stubbornness in the girl's eyes, which reminded him of one thing, and that was that this guy didn't seem to like people to see her trying.
"Su Mu is really interesting."
"Huh." Su Mu smiled faintly, and then in the other party's surprised gaze, he put the Taidao into a golden ripple.
"I'm going to go to Hakurei Shrine next, what about you?"
"Reimu? Let's go together, just have lunch~"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It wasn't close from the Enchanted Forest to the shrine, especially because of the companions, Su Mu couldn't let go of his speed, and the two flew for nearly 20 minutes before they faintly saw their destination.
However, the road is not boring.
Because with the small talk, Su Mu found that this harem king of Gensokyo was unexpectedly interesting, with a straightforward personality, and the same on the outside, which was too much for a person like him who likes to speculate on others with malice and has few friends.
After a few more flights, the two landed in front of a huge torii, and they were greeted by a broken and deserted atmosphere.
Seeing Su Mu's silence, Marisa hurriedly explained to her friend who lives here, "Don't get me wrong, because there is a shrine maiden here, and if it weren't for the pilgrims, she wouldn't have come to greet her." β
Pilgrims?
Su Mu smiled faintly, and he fell to a cash box at the front of the shrine, and then he stepped forward under Marisa's puzzled gaze, and then took out two gold coins from the space and threw them in.
Bang Dong β
There was a crisp sound as the metal hit the board, and almost at the same moment, a beautiful figure appeared next to the cash box at an almost teleporting speed.
A long black straight dress with a large bow and a sleeveless shrine maiden costume that exposes her armpits.
Gensoky Township City Management, Bo Li Reimu.
She was on tiptoe at this time, and as if no one was around, she took out the two gold coins from the money box, and then looked at them, and after finding out that they were genuine, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then her eyes fell on Su Mu.
The next moment, she knelt on the ground with her knees together, pressed her hands forward with her inner figure, then leaned forward, slammed her forehead on the ground, and said in a respectful tone: "Thank you for the generosity of this pilgrim, if you don't dislike it, please come in and drink a cup of coarse tea." β
Marisa: "......"
Su Mu: "......"
The power of money is really powerful, two gold coins will be 'under the soil', what will she do if she throws a few more now?
Su Mu hurriedly took a deep breath, suppressed the impatient thought in his heart, and then nodded and said, "Then bother." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Not long after sitting down in a guest room in the backyard, Reimu returned to Su Mu with two cups of tea and a refreshment, she first brought one of them to Su Mu, and then took a slow sip of the other.
"Hey! You're deliberately ignoring me, right?! β
"Huh? Are you there? β
"Damn! Serve me tea! β
"It's troublesome, go by yourself."
"......" Marisa looked at the lazy-looking shrine maiden speechlessly, but she also knew that she couldn't call her, so she got up and walked into the inner room.
At this time, Reimu also fell on Su Mu, and she asked lightly, "Is it Mr. Su Mu?" β
"Oh? Did Yakumo Murasaki already tell you about me? β
"Yes, she originally just asked me to help coordinate when you were in trouble, but now ......"
As he spoke, Reimu's expression became serious, and then he said, "If someone provokes you in the future, just tell me, and I will help you get rid of the other party." β
Su Mu: "......"
"So, is there something wrong with Mr. Su Mu coming this time?"
"Well, there are some things I just want to inquire about, I don't know if it's convenient."
"It's convenient, please feel free to ask."
ββ¦β¦ I wonder how Gensokyo is now connected to our two worlds. Su Mu asked.
"Is that really asking this?"
Reimu nodded as if she had expected it, and then replied, "We are still in the original world, and we are connected to your two worlds, using a means similar to a space gate to let you come to us. β
"In other words, is this the 'Emerald Dream'?"
"That's right."
"Then can I go to the rest of the Emerald Dream through you?" Su Mu asked with some expectation.
However, Reimu shook his head: "It's a pity that when we were connected to your two worlds here, our world isolated this place, and if you want to enter it, you must at least have the means to forcibly break the boundary." β
Breaking boundaries? That's why the false gods can't come in here?
Su Mu nodded abruptly, and then continued to ask, "Then do you also know the verbal agreement between Yakumo Zi and me?" β
"Is it a matter of pre-ordering a plane with you?"
Sure enough, it was worthy of the chengguan, Su Mu understood her authority in an instant, so he asked, "If you want to come over at that time, will you also pass through this passage?" β
"No, when the time comes, the entire Gensokyo, including the underworld, hell and other places, will be directly transferred to that plane."
ββ¦β¦ That's a big deal. Su Mu said with some surprise
"Yes, Zi owes a lot of favors for this, but if there is a stable future, it is worth it." Reimu said lightly.
Su Mu glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Reimu, can I call you that?" β
"Yes."
"I've got a lot of trouble and I'd like you to help me with something." As he spoke, Su Mu took out two more gold coins from the space, and then threw them in the direction of the main entrance of the shrine.
After a while, the sound of 'clang' came again, and at the same time, I saw Reimu's figure blur slightly, and then two more gold coins were just held in her palm.
In the next moment, the posture of the earth seat appeared in front of Su Mu again.
"Please instruct Sugi-samaβ"
