Episode 21 Poverty on Poverty
When I saw Reimu again, I was taken aback.
I haven't seen her for days, how did she become so emaciated?
"Did something happen?"
Although she has always lacked vitality, she has never seen this appearance of burning out.
"Hey, hey. ”
When the gray-faced shrine maiden heard my question, she suddenly let out a nervous and weird laugh.
"Hey, is it broken?"
"You're broken. ”
Reimu glared at me, and his anger rushed straight at me.
However, her gloomy expression was weakened a lot because of this.
"What the hell is going on then?"
"The shrine is almost finished!"
The girl looked up to the sky and let out a cry of despair.
"Huh?"
Is it because of poor management, and the Hakurei Shrine is finally going to be closed?
"Woo......"
As if remembering something sad, Reimu suddenly burst into tears.
"That guy, that bastard is going to eat the shrine to the ground......"
I don't know where Yakumo Murasaki picked up the monster, but from the very beginning, Uramu brought a huge crisis to Reimu and Hakurei Shrine.
That guy is the embodiment of appetite!
That almost endless ability to eat, in less than a day, wiped out all the food that was enough for Reimu to eat for more than a month.
Not only that, but she also seems to be on the verge of dying down completely.
What a guy who's worse than Yuyuko.
Reimu reminded her a few words at first, but the other party didn't listen to her at all. If you want to use force, Stygian will immediately hide again, and the next time it appears, it will be even more intense.
Reimu, who was extremely angry, couldn't help but get rid of the other party cleanly several times.
And that ugly girl should be a monster, right? It seems to have a deep relationship with Yakumo Zi, otherwise how could she also have the ability to manipulate the gaps?
Just looking at the face that was the same as when he was a child, Reimu would involuntarily stop every time he stretched out his hand.
"Oh, I see!"
It seems that taking care of Stygian dreams is really quite a difficult task!
"If I continue like this, I'm really going to die. ”
Reimu fell to the ground on her side, her index finger drawing circles on the floor.
Is she really going to be the first Hakurei shrine maiden in Gensokyo's history to starve to death due to lack of food?
It's just tragic.
"There's no way to stop her?"
It's so strange, anyway, this kind of overeating behavior is strange no matter how you look at it.
Could it be some particular reason?
"Impossible. ”
Reimu immediately dismissed my words.
"You can't believe how obsessed she is with what she eats without seeing it with your own eyes. ”
From day to night, the guy just kept eating, eating, and didn't know how to stop at all.
Just seeing it makes people feel numb all over their bodies.
"It's so annoying! Why do I always have some abnormal guys around me?"
The girl gently slammed her head against the floor and let out a groan of pain.
"Oh, that's what it's called like gathering like like things. ”
"Like gathers like...... What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, if you are not normal, the people you attract will not be normal. ”
"Die. ”
made a joke, and seeing that the other party still looked sad, I lowered my head and thought about it.
"By the way, did you ask the Rift Youkai for child support?"
"Alimony?"
Reimu turned to look at me sideways, and a big question mark appeared above her head.
"That's right. Since she entrusted that child to you, it stands to reason that you should pay for something!"
Whether it's money or food, helping her do things can't be done in vain!
"Right...... Oh yes!"
The shrine maiden stiffened and exclaimed excitedly.
"Why didn't I think of such a simple thing?"
It's not that I didn't think about it, but I didn't bother to think about it at all!
"Purple guy, this time you have to settle the debt with her, together with interest. ”
Reimu jumped down and walked outside with his fists rubbed his fists.
"I'll go out for a while, and I'll ask you to take care of the shrine for the time being. ”
After saying that, she flew away as quickly as the wind.
Ahh
"Alas. ”
With a sigh, I sat down helplessly.
There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary!
In addition to appearing particularly quiet.
However, this shrine has always been like this.
This is due to a lack of visitors.
"Huh?"
I suddenly looked up and looked around suspiciously. Just now, it seemed that someone was spying on me, but the moment I looked up, that strange gaze disappeared immediately.
"Delusion...... It shouldn't be possible!"
I jerked around and made eye contact with the voyeur.
The door at the back was pulled open a little, and through the narrow crack in the door, a large curious eye could be seen.
As if startled by my sudden movements, my glass-colored pupils contracted rapidly, and then the door was slammed shut.
I didn't move, and continued to look at it steadily.
After a while, the door was slowly opened again.
The owner of the eye peered through the crack in the door and watched me silently.
"Come out. ”
I waved to her.
The door was closed again.
"Strange guy. ”
Since the other party doesn't want to come out, forget it.
I turned around and continued to look at the sky and think wildly.
There was always a vision of Dreaming behind her, but she never came out of it and didn't say anything to me.
Just staring at me silently.
This made me feel quite stressed, and I felt a little uncomfortable all over.
Well, why haven't the shrine maidens come back? I'm ready to go!
"Belly ......"
The guy in the room finally spoke, and I turned my head to look and saw that the door was pulled wider and I could see half of the other's face.
"I'm hungry. ”
"Oh......"
I was a little speechless, but I was so grateful to be able to get out of this dreary atmosphere.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know. ”
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her little brain.
"Well, why don't you eat ramen?"
"Hmm. ”
This time it became a nod.
It seems that as long as there is something to eat, this kid is still quite well-behaved!
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"Damn, that purple guy, he actually pushed the blame away. ”
Thinking of what had happened before, Reimu felt a belly full of anger.
"That kid is already yours! ”
What is "already your person", obviously I said that I would only take care of her temporarily, but now it has become completely under her care.
Isn't this a pit man?
"That dead old woman, the next time you dare to come to the shrine, you will blast her out immediately......"
The angry shout spread into the distance, startling a flock of migratory birds that happened to fly by.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"Is that really good?"
It wasn't until the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine walked away that Yakumo Lan finally asked what she was holding back in her heart.
"Eh, it doesn't matter. ”
Yakumo Zi smiled disappreciably and replied.
"But Miss Reimu is going to be very angry about this, right?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Yakumo Zi looked at the person next to him and sighed.
"After all, we have our side with difficulties!"
"What's wrong? ”
Yuyuko, who was happily eating dumplings, saw the other party looking at her, and her face couldn't help but show a confused look.
“...... That's right!"
Yakumo Lan also felt that there was nothing to say for a while.
"If you can't do it......"
The latter words were no longer audible, but it seemed that Yakumo Zi had made up her mind.
"All in all, hopefully Reimu can last a little longer. ”
"That's all there is to it. ”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"Hey, hey. ”
"Ah, don't play with flour!"
Dreaming kept slapping the flour on the table, causing white dust to flutter everywhere.
In a calm state, she is just a slightly naughty child, just like the others at home.
I realized that my perception of her needed to be corrected.
Maybe the dream is so bad to Yakumo Zi, it's also because Yakumo Zi has never treated her sincerely!
"Ramen. ”
The girl grabbed my robe with her flour-stained hand, and a bright white mark immediately appeared on the surface of the black fabric.
"Ah, got it, got it......"
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Reimu came back, he happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help but scream immediately.
"Ahh
Seeing that it was her, Stygian snorted softly and immediately ducked in front of me, shielding herself with my body.
It was only after a moment that she poked her head out and stared at Reimu.
"Shrine maidens, violent, nasty. ”
Oh, and that's pretty straightforward!
"What are you laughing at?"
Instead of losing her temper with Stygian, the violent shrine maiden turned her gaze to me.
"No, I wasn't laughing. ”
"Dare to quibble. ”
I saw the corners of this guy's mouth twitch a little just now, and he said that he didn't laugh.
"Stygian, come over to me. ”
Reimu looked at the little girl who was clutching onto the man's robe, sulking in her stomach.
Really, what is this? I have taken care of her for so long, but the other party has never shown her a good face. Now that guy has only been here for a short time, and he is so close to him.
Moreover, the well-behaved appearance of pulling Dongfang Yao, if someone who doesn't know sees it, they will even think that they are father and daughter!
It's really annoying.
"Phew. ”
Not only did Stygian not listen to her, obediently leaving the man's side, but also grimacing at her.
"You guy, don't be too arrogant. ”
Reimu suddenly became angry, and as soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she wanted to make a move, but I quickly stopped her.
"Well, she's just a child, so why be so serious with her!"
"Just because she is still young, she should be educated well so as not to go astray in the future. ”
"Oh, have you fully stepped into the role of a mother?"
It's all in the tone of an elder!
"Mother...... Mother, die, I'm not that old!"
The girl kicked me hard and walked away in a huff.
Well, when I left, my face seemed to be red for some reason.
"Ramen. ”
Eh, you should be concerned about my injuries at this time, right?
However, it is really only food in the head!
"Alright, let's wait a little longer!"
I patted Dream's head and said.
"Hands, it's dirty. ”
“......”
I looked at my floured hands and was speechless for a moment.
