Episode 3 The Visitor to the White Jade Tower
When she woke up in the middle of the night, Marisa felt a little thirsty, and rubbed under the bed for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to get up.
Drinking water, Marisa subconsciously glanced out the window.
In the dark night sky, a crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the dim moonlight made the surrounding shadowy mountains look a little gloomy, and the occasional cry of a night owl came, but it was even more unsettling.
"Huh?"
In the moonlight, Marisa suddenly saw a figure standing quietly by the lake.
"That guy, what are you doing outside in the middle of the night?"
She thought for a moment, then shook her head at the end.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, what do you want to do?"
Putting down the cup, Marisa quickly went back to the bed.
"Sleep, sleep. ”
While everyone else was asleep, I was worrying about one thing.
Although I said that day that I would do my best to restore the Xingli Palace, I didn't have a clue what to do. It's definitely not going to work like before, and the defense of Shengen Island is still too weak, so it must be upgraded.
"In the final analysis, it's still a matter of materials!"
I looked at the cracked crystal in my hand and sighed, it seemed that I had to find some new materials.
There was a faint sound of footsteps behind me, and I turned my head to see Marisa walking up in her pajamas, her nightcap tilted to the side.
This guy didn't leave tonight, and in the end he had to give her his room, so I had to sleep in the hall.
"What are you doing? Running outside so late. ”
Marisa asked, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Well, I can't sleep, so I came out to breathe. ”
I replied.
"Oh. ”
Marisa staggered over to the bench, sat down, and lay down on it.
"It's cold outside, so you might as well go back to your room and sleep. ”
In late autumn, the nights can get cold.
"You're going to be less busy!"
"I'm here for your good. ”
I could only shake my head helplessly.
"Really, if you catch a cold, don't blame me. ”
"Do you think I'm Miss Daughter?
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Since she doesn't want to go, I can't force her away.
Marisa shrunk back and said no more.
"Now, black and white, do you know where the white jade building is?"
After a long silence, I suddenly asked.
Marisa was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, but I heard that there is such a place, so I was a little curious. ”
I looked at the lake and shook my head slightly.
"I don't know what kind of place it is?"
"Hey, don't you know?"
Marisa stood up, a look of surprise on her face.
"Huh?"
I looked back at her and blinked.
"Youyuzi and Youmeng live in the White Jade Tower!
"Huh!?"
This time it was my turn to be surprised.
Seeing me like this, Marisa rolled her eyes and lay down again.
"I thought you knew everything, but I didn't think you even understood this. ”
"Bai Yulou, undead, hehehe, I see. ”
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, just one thing figured out. ”
I smiled and shook my head.
"Hey, broom girl, are you interested in going to Baiyulou?"
"Stop calling me that nasty nickname. ”
Marisa replied vaguely, and she felt her eyelids already fighting.
"Bai Yulou is in the underworld! It's cold now, what are you doing there?"
"Well, what should I say? The ghosts have also come to the Xingli Hall many times, and everyone is considered to be acquaintances, so it is reasonable that they should all come to visit. ”
"Oh. ”
"And I want to see how the world of the living differs from the world of the dead. ”
After a long time, it was still quiet behind me, and I turned my head to realize that Marisa was asleep.
"In vain. ”
A cold wind blew, and Marisa, who was already thin, unconsciously shrunk her body into a ball.
"Wouldn't it be nice to hear me say no? ”
I walked up to her, groaned, and bent down to pick her up.
"Heavy enough. ”
I bared my teeth and walked towards the house.
"The much-anticipated Fengjin Lake Hydropower Station was completed yesterday, and according to the director of engineering, Kawashiro Natori, it will be put into operation as soon as possible, and ...... by then."
"Now, Master, what kind of power station is it, isn't it the one we saw when we went to picnic before?"
Qiluno, who was sitting on my lap, couldn't help but ask, when she heard me read this.
The colder it gets, the more energetic Cirno becomes, and she gets up early this morning to look for me, and even Misty is woken up by her.
As for the remaining little ghosts, they are still nested in the quilt!
"Well, yes!"
"Hey...... I don't know what it looks like?"
"If you want to know, I'll take you there in a few days. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Qi Luno immediately clapped her hands happily.
"It's better to call everyone in and we can go there for another picnic. ”
"Hehe, whatever, as long as you like. ”
"Oh yes!"
Seeing her so happy, I couldn't help but smile.
"Good morning!"
Marisa yawned and walked in from outside the living room.
"Good morning. ”
"Marisa, you woke up later than I did today!"
"What are you doing so early? There are no prizes. ”
Marisa sat down and pouted at Kiruno.
"Those who wake up late are little lazy bugs. ”
Qi Lunuo said confidently, but she completely forgot that she usually got up at three o'clock in the morning.
"I don't know like a kid. ”
Marisa rubbed her face a few times, and finally felt a lot more sober.
"Hey, Dongfang, I seem to have accidentally fallen asleep last night, who sent me back to my room later?"
She asked me casually.
"Who else but me. ”
I looked at the newspaper and didn't lift my head.
"Oh. ”
"Don't worry, I definitely didn't do anything strange to you. ”
"I don't dare. ”
I smiled and shook my head, but didn't speak.
"Breakfast was ready. ”
Suddenly there was Misia's shouting from inside the kitchen.
"Go wake up those lazy worms!"
"Understood. ”
Qi Luno hurriedly jumped down, and ran upstairs with a "bang".
Soon there were several imps screaming from above.
"Now, Dongfang said that you want to go to Baiyulou, is it true?"
"Yes. ”
I nodded.
"And when are you going to go?"
"Well, there's nothing to do during the day, and you can leave after breakfast. ”
"Oh, then I'll go with you. ”
Although the last time I went to the White Jade Tower was a few years ago, Lu Marisa still roughly remembers.
"You're going too?"
"Can't you? I'm free anyway, and don't you need someone to lead the way?"
"Then thank you in advance. ”
It's certainly better to have someone to lead the way than to find it myself.
"Then it's settled. ”
No matter how you look at it, this guy is even more excited than I am.
"Good morning, brother. ”
As soon as the girl came in, she lay on my lap, and her eyes hadn't fully opened.
"Master early, Marisa early. ”
Liglaw and Lumia also greeted us.
"Alright, it's time for breakfast, go wash your faces!"
"Yes. ”
The little girl got up and followed the others to wash their faces.
"Ahh
Marisa jumped to her feet.
"Patronizing and talking to you, even I forgot about it. ”
Looking at Marisa as she ran away in a panic, I couldn't help but shake my head.
When will they be able to grow a little?
"Final...... Finally all caught. ”
Soul Demon Dream wiped his forehead, which was actually not sweaty, and let out a long breath.
More than half a month ago, a powerful shockwave spread from this shore to the other side, making the entire underworld almost chaotic, and the ghosts went berserk because of this, and many even ran to the White Jade Tower. Yuyuko ordered her to do her best to catch these guys, and it wasn't until today that she finally caught them all.
"What the hell is going on over there?"
Although he couldn't see Gensokyo, the soul demon dream still looked up and looked there.
"Forget it, let's go back and report to Yuyuko-sama first. ”
It's useless to think too much, the things on this shore are not something that the people of their underworld should worry about.
"Boom. ”
There was a loud bang, which made the soul demon dream that turned around and was about to return to the White Jade Tower suddenly stop.
"There are intruders. ”
Soul Demon Dream hurriedly put away the "Human Soul Lamp" and hurried in the direction where the voice came from.
"You don't have to, do you?"
I didn't expect the entrance of Bai Yulou in Gensokyo to be in the sky, and it was such a huge door.
It's just that Marisa has blasted a big gap in it now.
"Don't worry, this thing will heal itself. ”
Marisa just waved her hand disapprovingly.
"Besides, if we don't do this, we won't be able to get in!"
"That being said......"
I used to come to visit someone, but now I broke their doors, which always makes me feel very inappropriate.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. ”
Marisa snapped her chest and said loudly.
"Do you think you can afford it?"
A crescent blade rushed up from the ground, nearly splitting her in half.
"It's dangerous, that bastard sneaked up on me, get out of here. ”
"It's me. ”
The silver-haired girl flew up and stopped in front of Marisa.
"That shrine maiden is like this, and so are you, are the people on this shore so rude?"
Soul Demon Dream turned her head and smiled at me.
"Ah, Lord Dongfang, I don't include you by those guys. ”
"I'm really sorry I accidentally broke the door because I didn't know how to get in. ”
There's no way, I'll carry this black cauldron.
"Well, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, Lord Dongfang. ”
Soul Youmu shook her head, but her face sank as she looked at Marisa.
"The culprit of a qiē is this guy. ”
Seeing the long knife that glowed with cold light pointed directly at him, getting closer and closer, Marisa raised her hand and kept backing away.
"Wait a minute, we have no choice but to do it. Ah, I apologize, I apologize. ”
"Humph!"
The soul demon dream frightened her again, and then put away the Louguan sword.
"For the sake of Lord Dongfang, I'll let you go this time. ”
Marisa dared to say anything, and quickly flashed aside.
"By the way, Lord Dongfang, how did you come here?"
Generally speaking, if there is nothing important, people will not run to the White Jade Tower, after all, this is a place for the dead, so the soul demon dream will have this question.
"We're here to play. ”
Qiluno and Chiba, who were hanging on my shoulder, said in unison.
"Really? That's so welcome. ”
Although it is very strange for a living person to run to the underworld to play, the soul demon dream is still sincerely happy about it.
"Everyone, please come with me, Yuyuko-sama will be very happy to know that you are here. ”
She made a "please" gesture and flew forward to show us the way.
"Youmeng, come back soon, I'm hungry. ”
Yuyuko lay on her side in the hallway, moaning weakly.
If I had known, I wouldn't have sent her to catch any geist, this is a troublesome matter or leave it to others to deal with!
"Yuyuko-sama, I'm back. ”
A childish cry came, but it made the whole Yuyuko of Xixing Temple jump up.
"It's too slow. ”
She looked back and saw the person following behind the soul demon dream, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"How are these guys here. ”
"Lord Yuyuko, Lord Dongfang, they have come to visit you. ”
The soul demon dream led a group of people through the spacious white courtyard and came directly to Yuyuko.
"Oh. ”
Yuyuko looked at us, but didn't react much.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm coming to visit you!"
"Visit?"
"That's right, give, it's a gift. ”
Yuyuko took the boxy box in confusion.
"Well, can I open it?"
"Absolutely. ”
Yuyuko opened the box and couldn't help but scream.
"Wow, that's my favorite snack!"
She didn't care about the others anymore, and she ate the pastries happily.
"Lord Dongfang, please have tea. ”
Soul Demon Dream came out of the house with tea and respectfully handed me a cup.
"Well, thank you. ”
I blew it and took a sip.
"It's delicious, it's just too little. ”
Yuyuko looked at the half-destroyed pastries in the box in a blink of an eye, and felt very regretful.
"No way, this is the last one. ”
As for the rest, they were all eaten by the guy in front of them.
"Hmm. ”
Yuyuko tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued to eat her own things.
"Ah, you ran to the White Jade Tower, you didn't really come to visit me, did you?"
Her mouth was stuffed, and it took me a long time to understand what she was saying.
"Half of it. ”
"Only half, what about the other half?"
"Actually, I'm here to borrow something from you. ”
"What do you want to borrow?"
Yuyuko stopped and looked at each other puzzledly, Bai Yulou didn't seem to have anything of value?
"Westward Demon. ”
I took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly.
