Chapter 29: Hakurei Shrine
Hakurei Shrine is the easternmost shrine in Gensokyo.
Is this Hakurei Shrine? I wonder if I can see red and white? Looking at the wooden sign hanging on the red torii, Ling Xue sighed with emotion, stepped over the remaining stairs, and came to the shrine.
Looking at the empty box in front of the shrine, Ling Xue sighed speechlessly, no wonder Bo Li Lingmeng always said that he was poor. Glancing at the dusty box in front of her, Ling Xue also had an intuitive understanding, it was a miracle that she was so poor that she didn't starve to death. Well, after all, there is purple in the help.
"Jingle bell." After touching that there were still a lot of gold coins on his body, Ling Xue took out two or three of them and threw them into the box, and said goodbye.
"Huh"
At the moment when the gold coin smashed into the bonna box and made a sound, the sliding door of the Hakurei shrine was suddenly opened, and a girl wearing a red and white witch costume ran out of it, looking at a few gold coins in the big bona box, and suddenly two tears hung on her face, "Woo, after so long, someone finally threw money." ”
After being moved for a moment by Ling Xue's black gaze, the red and white witch dress stood up and smiled slightly, as if the person with tears on her face just now was not her, "You are really a good person as Zi said." ”
Hehe, I couldn't be happy at all when I was issued a good person card. Ling Xue complained in her heart, and then wondered, "Zi is also here with you?" ”
"yes. Come with me. The red and white witch turned around and was about to walk inside, but her body paused, turned around again, scratched her head, and said embarrassedly: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Hakuri Reimu." If only you could call me Reimu. ”
After following up on the shrine, Ling Xue saw Yakumo Purple sitting there, leisurely drinking tea.
"Good morning, Xiaoxue." Yakumo Zi took a sip of tea and greeted Ling Xue.
"The sun is coming out in the west? Why did you wake up so early today? Ling Xue glanced out from the open lattice door and wondered.
"What's the matter, let's go to bed early and get up early." Yakumo Zitian said shamelessly.
It's weird. Ling Xue, who knew Yakumo's purple temperament well, shook her head and secretly scolded herself.
"So, Xiaoxue, you came out so early, is there something wrong?" Yakumo Zi wondered.
"Well, it's a little bit." Ling Xue waved her hand and said, "I'm just going to find a suitable place to live in peace." ”
"A suitable place to live?" Yakumo Zi first muttered suspiciously, and then said excitedly: "Is it that Kazami Yuka makes you uncomfortable living there, so you want to find a place to live." Come to my house, Xiaoxue, I promise to make your stay comfortable. And I can also ask Blue to warm your bed for you, her tail is very comfortable. ”
"Hehe, forget it. Anyway, I'm looking for a place to live, why are you so excited? Ling Xue looked at Yakumo Zi speechlessly, hey, is it really okay to sell your Shishen like this? She's going to cry......
"I didn't ...... No, I don't. You're thinking too much, Xiaoxue. At this time, Yakumo Zi also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly pretended to be serious.
"Hmm~~~ Could it be that the main purpose of you inviting me to live in your house is to be a chef for you?" Ling Xue didn't mean to taste.
"Aha...... How could that be. Yakumo's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed dryly.
"You." Ling Xue shook her head helplessly, turned her head to look at Lingmeng and said, "Lingmeng, do you know of any suitable places around here?" It doesn't matter if it's off the beaten track, as long as it's beautiful. ”
"Well, I want to think about it." Bo Li Reimu took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Listening to Zi's tone, the food you cook seems to be delicious?" ”
"Well, well, at least it's not hard to eat." Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, but still replied truthfully.
"Well, if you cook a meal that satisfies me, I'll tell you where the right place is." The corners of Reimu's mouth curled up and said.
"Uh...... All right. I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so it was decided. Ling Xue stood up and walked towards the kitchen she had seen when she came before.
Not long after Ling Xue entered the kitchen, the door of Hakurei Shrine was pushed open again, and a pale green shadow led a little black-haired girl in a blue kimono into the room. Under the surprised gazes of Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Reimu, he poured two cups of tea by himself, one for the little girl, and one for himself.
"Come on, breakfast is out." Learning from the voice of the shopkeeper, Ling Xue carried a tray, stacked all the prepared breakfast on it, and brought it into the hall, but was surprised to find that there were two more people in the hall where there were only two people. And that familiar touch of pale green and black was the Kazami Yuka and Yui who Ling Xue thought were still sleeping in the Dream Pavilion.
"Daddy." As soon as Ling Xue put the tray down, Yui pounced on her and threw herself into Ling Xue's arms.
"Good." Ling Xue touched Yui's head and said softly, "Have you listened to Mother Hua and washed your face well?" ”
"Yes." Yui wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly: "After I woke up, I found that my father was gone, so I washed my face with my mother and came to find my father." ”
"And how did you find it?" Ling Xue was slightly puzzled.
"Uh......h I don't know, it's just that Hua's mother said to bring me to my father. Yui frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said.
"Well, if you don't know, you don't know, let's have breakfast, it's good that I made a little more, otherwise, I'll have to do it again." Ling Xue rubbed Yui's head with a wry smile, and when he raised his head, he saw the ghostly expression of Hakuri Reimu.
Bo Li Reimu's whole person seemed to have been immobilized, and he was fixed there, and his mouth grew up, with an extremely surprised expression, that is, the expression of surprise when he heard that the world was about to end tomorrow, and pointed in the direction of Ling Xue and Kazami Yuxiang, and his open mouth trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it because of extreme surprise.
"Just say what you want, it's not good to hold it in your stomach." Yakumo Zi opened the folding fan to block his face, revealing only his eyes, and the mouth behind the folding fan pulled up a wicked smile.
"She. She. She. She. What did she just shout Ling Xue and Kazami Yuka? I guess I heard it right, right? Bo Li Reimu popped out five "she" words in a row, and you can imagine how surprised she was.
Yui also heard Hakurei Reimu's words, turned her head, looked at the red and white shrine maiden, and wondered, "I called Dad and Flower Mom?" What's wrong? Aunt Bori. ”
"Wait, wait, let me mess it up, it's a bit of a mess."
Bo Li Reimu rubbed her head with a headache, and helplessly said that just this morning, her worldview had collapsed. Oh my God, she heard something, calling Ling Xue's father, she said it was nothing, calling herself Aunt Boli, it's nothing. However, shouting the wind to see Yuxiang, the tyrant of flowers, shouting to be a mother? (Actually, it's Hua Ma, but Reimu thinks that Hua Ma is no different from Mom, sweating...... What's going on? The tyrant of flowers hates others to talk about age the most, because these are lessons of blood, and those monsters who talk about the age of the wind and fragrance have now become flower fertilizer. The most important thing is that instead of shouting Fengjian Yuxiang to call Auntie, but calling Mom, could it be that there is a secret between Ling Xue and Fengjian Yuxiang that cannot be said. Because after the little girl shouted, Kazami Yuka not only didn't get angry, but also responded lightly, although the tone was very light, but it was not difficult for Hakuri Reimu to hear the intimacy inside. Reimu picked up the teacup on the table in front of her, intending to take a sip of tea to calm down.
"You're making too much of a fuss." Yakumo Zi put away the folding fan, looked at Yui with a smile, a doting light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Yui-chan, it seems that you haven't called us today." ”
"Zi Ma, good morning!" Yui also gave Yakumo Purple a big smile back.
"Hmm~~ That's good. After a while, Zi Ma will take you to the world to buy candy to eat. Yakumo's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yui's long black hair, and said happily.
"Poof!!!
Reimu Hakurei, who was drinking water, squirted water out of the house and sprayed it directly from the house.
"Cough, cough, cough." Hakurei Reimu coughed twice, wiped the tea left on her chin, and looked at Yakumo Purple with frightened eyes. This aunt who loves to pretend to be tender the most, when she heard someone call her Zi Mom, she didn't get angry, and responded with a smile. And what's going on with this body that is constantly emanating and full of motherly attributes? What the hell is this little human girl?
"Huh? It seems like you're thinking about something rude. As if he could read minds, Yakumo opened the folding fan, blocked her chin, and looked at Reimu with a smile in her eyes.
"Uh...... No, absolutely nothing. Hakuri Reimu shook her head quickly and quibbled. She didn't want to walk well one day, and suddenly a gap appeared, and then she was cut in half......
Ling Xue looked at this farce, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and was about to eat when she suddenly felt her sleeves being pulled by Yui in her arms.
"What's wrong? Yui? Ling Xue lowered her head and wondered.
"Daddy, hey." Yui pointed to her open mouth and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay." Although he also likes to be a father, Ling Xue always has too much love for this daughter who came out halfway. After all, there's a soul called "Lori Kong" that's burning. (Fog)
Halfway through feeding, Kazami Yuka, who had just finished eating, wiped her mouth, then beckoned to Yui, and said lightly: "Yui, come to Mother Hua, Mother Flower feeds you, and let your father eat." ”
"Hey." Yui responded obediently, and after getting along yesterday, Yui also knew the character of Yakumo Purple who was called Purple Mom and Kazumi Yuuka of Flower Mom. Zi Ma is lively, approachable (only for acquaintances), and very close to herself, although occasionally very undisciplined. Although Hua Ma is very indifferent on the outside, she is a typical cold face and hot heart, but she is actually very close (for you and Ling Xue), and she is also very good to herself, although her father said that she is cold and arrogant.
"Thank you, Yuxiang." Ling Xue took a sip of porridge and smiled.
"It's fine." A trace of temperature flashed in Fengjian Youxiang's eyes, and he responded lightly.
"Hehe, it's still the same tsundere as ever, Yuxiang. I was very happy in my heart and said. Yakumo Zi looked at Kazami Yuka, who was feeding Yui and eating, and said in what tone, in short, it seems, maybe a little sour.
"You're sour, you, feed Yui and eat, I don't have time to interrupt you." Well, this sentence was made up by Ling Xue's brain......
Kazami Yuka didn't pay attention to Yakumo Murasaki, but just looked intently at Yui and the rice porridge in the bowl, afraid that it would burn Yui.
Reimu held the bowl and looked at the scene of three women and one man interacting in front of her with twitching out of the corner of her eyes. No matter how you look at it, it's like a family of three, oh, four people eating breakfast in harmony. And what's going on with this warm atmosphere and the communication that no one else is around? This is my shrine.,Don't add atmosphere to me without permission!!
