Episode 22 Theft
"Wow!!!!"
In the peaceful Destiny Lotus Temple, a sudden scream broke the calm of the early morning.
Hearing the shout, the Holy White Lotus, who had gotten up early to recite the scriptures, quickly rushed to the scene.
"What's going on? ”
The person who screamed was the Sealed Beast Owl, and she was standing in front of a wooden cabinet in the room, the door of which was opened, and it was empty.
"It's gone. ”
Hearing the question, the Sealed Beast Eagle turned his head and looked at them with dull eyes.
"What's missing?"
Something is wrong with this child! Could it be that something very valuable has been lost?
"Cheese, cheese is gone!"
The girl clutched her head and let out a cry of pain.
It was something given to her by another person, and she hid it because she was afraid that the guys in the temple would see it and ask to share it. Originally, I was going to get up in the middle of the night and eat it secretly, but I talked a lot with the Holy White Lotus last night, and I fell asleep soon when I came back, so I forgot about it. When I got up in the morning and ran to look, the things in the wooden cabinet were long gone.
"Wow, it was still there last night!"
"Hara, that's just how it was!"
It's really in vain, I thought something serious had happened!
However, is it okay to eat cheese that has been left out for more than one night?
Even if it's a youkai, eating expired food is not good for your health.
"Could it have been stolen?"
Mura said with a yawn.
She and Tatara were still wearing pajamas. I was woken up early in the morning by this kind of trivial matter, which made the love between the two of them a little low.
The little umbrella of Tatara next to him was holding the Tang umbrella that never left his hand, and he was almost about to fall asleep again.
"Stealing...... Steal?"
Being reminded by Mura Sha Shuimi, Feng Beast Eagle immediately thought of this possibility.
I'm afraid that's true, someone might have seen her hide the cheese last night, and then sneaked into the room and took it away while she was asleep.
"Nazling, did you do it?"
"Wait, why is it mine to be the first person you suspect?"
Moreover, the look is still so sure.
It's too much, no matter how greedy she is, it's impossible for her to steal her companion's food, right?
"Because rats don't like cheese the most?"
Well, that's what a lot of books say, so it's pretty credible.
"Don't believe such unfounded rumors!"
"If it weren't for you, who would have done it?"
"How do I know. ”
Ah, I didn't think it was just a small piece of cheese, and the two of them quarreled over it.
That's not going to work.
Inmaru Hoshi hurriedly inserted between the two of them.
"Alright, stop arguing. ”
"Yes, Owl. ”
The Holy White Lotus also stepped forward and touched the head of the Sealed Beast Eagle.
"I'm sure no one took your stuff either. There is no need to hurt everyone's harmony for this little thing. ”
"Since the Holy Capital said so......"
Feng Beast Eagle also felt that he was too impulsive, no matter what, it was very wrong to doubt his partner casually.
"I'm sorry! Nazling said something so drastic to you. ”
"Ah, no, no, no, it's nothing. ”
Seeing the other party admit his mistakes to himself so honestly, Nazling was a little hurried for a while.
"Hmm. ”
Seeing that the matter was resolved smoothly, Saint Bailian clapped her hands with satisfaction.
"Okay, you guys should hurry up and wash your faces, the Buddha will be to blame for the untidy face!"
She pointed to the girls who had just gotten out of bed and said with a smile.
"Ah, here we go. ”
Mura Sha Shuimi touched her face a few times and immediately ran away quickly.
"Then, sister, I'll go and prepare everyone's breakfast first. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
"Yes. ”
Yun Ju kowtowed slightly, and left with Yun Shan.
"St. ”
"Huh?"
Saint White Lotus turned her head to look at Yin Maru Xing.
"It doesn't seem like a simple theft!"
The girl frowned, there were many people who didn't say it just now, but now that there is only the Holy White Lotus, it doesn't matter.
"Let me hear it. ”
The abbot's eyes flashed, and he said quietly.
"Actually, you noticed it in the first place!"
Inmaru smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I don't believe that with your eyesight, you won't find anything. ”
"Maybe so. ”
is really the person who knows herself best, and it is difficult for her to hide her thoughts from the other party.
"Then can you guess who the person who took the cheese is?"
"Nope. ”
Saint Bailian's shaking of his head made Yin Maruxing feel a little surprised.
"Can't you even guess?"
"Hmm. ”
The abbot nodded.
"It's just ......"
She suddenly reached into the cupboard.
"I can feel that there is still a faint aura of evil left here. ”
Even though it was extremely weak, the Holy White Lotus could still feel the indescribable extreme malice from inside.
It was a collection of negativity and curses, and just touching it made her shiver all over.
"Evil breath?"
Inmaru Xing also reached inside, but he didn't feel anything.
Sure enough, her cultivation is still not enough!
Saint Bailian withdrew her hand and shook it a few times.
"Why can such evil things run into our temple without knowing it?"
It was able to break in without anyone noticing, and broke into the room of the Sealed Beast Owl, and if it had done something to that kid at that time, it would have really regretted it.
"No Three ...... in the South"
Saint Bailian frowned, this incident woke her up and woke her up.
"All in all, let's be more careful in the future, Gensokyo is still not very safe at this stage. ”
"Understood. ”
Inmaru also knew that it was the only way to do it now.
"By the way, Saint, do you want to discuss this matter with that person?"
"No, it's not good to trouble him in everything. ”
If they always have to ask others for help in their own affairs, there will be no point in continuing to save their life-lotus temple.
"That's right. ”
"Na, holy. ”
Feng Beast Eagle and Mura Sha Shui Mi suddenly ran in from outside, their faces full of excitement, as if they had encountered something that made them feel excited.
"What's wrong? ”
Saint Bailian saw a piece of paper in the hand of the Sealed Beast Eagle, wasn't that Tengu's newspaper?
Although it was just a trivial matter, without their newspaper, it felt like something was really missing!
However, it was not the re-release of the Tengu Shimbun that caught her eye, but what was written in the newspaper.
"In celebration of the reconstruction of the earth, a grand festival will be held, and it will be ......"
The series of reports occupied a whole page.
"Festivals?"
"Yes, yes, and I've heard that there will be a fireworks display!"
Speaking of the fireworks display, the eyes of several girls began to sparkle.
The fireworks that bloomed during the festival were still fresh in their minds.
"Oh, that's good. ”
Fireworks, they're really attractive!
"Now, saint, let's go and see it together when the time comes. ”
The Sealed Beast Eagle shook the arm of the Holy White Lotus and said in a voice full of anticipation.
"Hey, why don't we go join in the fun?"
Looking at the date written on it, it was the night after tomorrow.
"Uh-huh. ”
"But none of us were invited!"
Although Saint Bailian herself was indeed a little interested in this festival, the other party did not invite her, so it seemed too rude to rush to run like that.
"Ah, what are you talking about? Since it's a festival, of course everyone is welcome!"
Mura Satsumi snatched the newspaper, turned it over, and aimed it at her.
"Besides, we did them so much last time, so it should be okay just to go and see, right?"
"Mura yarn. ”
The Holy White Lotus snorted with a displeased expression.
"Remember, we're not helping them just to make them grateful. ”
"I'm sorry, I lost my words. ”
The girl who was scolded hurriedly lowered her head.
"Sheng, I don't think it's bad to go and see it. ”
"Do you even say that? Star. ”
Even the always steady Inmaru Star agreed to go to the human world to participate in the festival, and the holy white lotus became a little hesitant for a while.
"Yes, if you just hide in the mountains, you won't be able to communicate with the outside world. ”
Of course, the ideal of the youkai who wanted to help Gensokyo could not be realized.
"Ah, okay. ”
Inmaru Xing's words finally convinced the abbot.
"Hooray. ”
Seeing the Holy White Lotus nodding, the girls were all overjoyed.
"But when the time comes, you'll have to behave for me! ”
It's really worrying! These guys who are prone to getting into trouble.
"Understood. ”
"I wish you really understood. ”
All in all, the matter of going to the village festival in the village the night after tomorrow was decided.
Well, though, it seems that who has been forgotten?
·············································
Although it is not yet fully completed, most of the houses in the world have been rebuilt. Some of the shops have also reopened, attracting a lot of customers.
The streets are lit up and everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming festival.
For them, it's a celebration of the rebirth of the village, so it's a little more pompous.
In addition, it has been decided that this festival will be held at this time of year in the future.
Aqiu and Keine Kamishirasawa walked down the noisy streets, smiling at everyone who bowed to them.
"The resilience of human beings is truly extraordinary!"
Looking at the shops that were gradually opening on both sides, Barnyard Aqiu couldn't help but sigh.
Even though it wasn't appropriate for her as a human being, she couldn't help but say it.
"I feel the same way, Miss Aqiu. ”
Shangbai Ze Huiyin nodded, if it was a monster, it would be so impacted, I'm afraid many people would be slumped from now on!
"But it's great to see that the village hasn't been destroyed by my hands. ”
At that time, Barnyard Aqiu didn't know how worried he was, and the world would end like this.
It's all thanks to everyone's help!
"Barnyard Lord, Barnyard Lord. ”
Barnyard Aqiu and Kamibai Ze Huiyin were walking slowly through the streets, but a middle-aged man caught up with them with a panicked look.
"What's wrong? Saemon. ”
Barnyard Aqiu remembered that this person was in charge of guarding the treasury, why did he come here now?
Desertion is not allowed!
"Barnyard Lord......"
Hikozaemon leaned in and whispered a few words in her ear.
Barnyard Aqiu's face suddenly changed.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes. ”
Hikozaemon's face is also very ugly, but when he was taking care of the treasury, such a big thing happened, it was completely his dereliction of responsibility!
"Did something happen?"
Shangbai Zehuiyin saw that there was something wrong with their appearances, so she asked.
"Let's get out of here first. ”
The eyes of the surroundings have begun to focus here, and if something leaks out, it will cause unnecessary panic.
"Saemon, lead the way. ”
"Yes. ”
The two of them, led by Hikozaemon, quickly left the place.
