A red mist covered the sky, and the ominous color seemed to declare that Gensokyo didn't like the sun, arrogant and evil.

The boy who noticed this, ran to the shrine excitedly, and woke up the shrine maiden who was still asleep, and he said this-

"Hey! Reimu get up! There's a job! ”

"What......"

The sleepy-eyed red and white witch rubbed the corners of her squinted eyes dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't my job to live well......

"Mutation, mutation!"

Shaking the red and white witch's shoulders speechlessly, the boy raised his voice without tears, and complained loudly in her ear:

"You're Hakurei's shrine maiden, aren't you? It's a shrine maiden, right? Right? Hurry up and solve the mutation for me! ”

"Hmm......"

Listening to the boy's roar, the red and white witch's eyes, which were barely interested, finally slowly filled with a special look.

It didn't take long to get started......

"Huh? I actually came here today. ”

Waking up from the door of the shrine, Takeya, who was wearing pajamas, stood under the red torii in a daze, seeing a familiar scene, and for a while he actually felt a little nostalgic.

I haven't been here for a few days.

While laughing at his sentimentality, Takeya slowly walked leisurely towards the shrine in front of him, but he stopped after just two steps.

Seeing the gloomy colors around him, a wave of doubt welled up in his heart.

"Strange......"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Wu Ye was quite puzzled and muttered to himself:

"According to the time, the world over there is night, so I should have arrived here in the morning, but why doesn't it seem like it's dawn yet......

He slowly raised his head, only to realize that the sky was not gray, but covered with a dark red color, as if it was stained red with blood, which made people subconsciously frightened.

"What, this is ......"

Takeya immediately realized that this ominous red was not the morning glow, but something similar to mist.

Red fog?

After coming to Gensokyo for so long, although Wu Ye is still fighting the five scum as always in terms of combat power, he is enough to make many people, even many monsters, embarrassed in terms of knowledge.

Of course, this is also thanks to the previous generations of shrine maidens who followed the rules of fist teaching.

Ahem, that's off topic.

In short, if you want Takeya to deal with youkai head-on, then it is estimated that he will be sent back to the real world after a round trip, which also leads to the fact that Takeya's work with two generations of witches for many years is of the auxiliary type.

In addition to relying on superpowers to expose the opponent's abilities during battles, Takeya does the most is to study the customs of Gensokyo.

Because neither the big-spending Ancestor Miko nor the lazy Reimu are good at this kind of thing, this kind of intelligence-gathering work falls to Takeya.

Although in fact, there is not much point in doing this, because the previous generation of witches was basically an invincible existence, and Reimu has not encountered any changes at all since he took office, so Takeya is more often relying on his own interests to do these jobs.

But it's also thanks to this work, the situation in various places in Gensoky Township, Wu doesn't say that he knows the roots, but he can also say a little bit.

In a sense, he is even doing a similar job to Barnyard Aqiu.

As for the red mist in front of him, from Takeya's eyes, it was a phenomenon that had never appeared before Gensokyo, and the red mist was so thick that it even covered the sun, so if it continued like this, it would sooner or later cause trouble to other people in Gensokyo, that is-

It's a mutation!

After a long absence, he smelled the smell of mutation, and Wu also seemed very excited, of course, the stomach hurt so I wanted to find something to do, and I am afraid that the mood would account for more......

He couldn't wait to rush into the shrine, and before he even had time to change his pajamas, he rushed into the dormitory where the shrine maiden was, so there was the scene above.

......

"Reimu, you're too lazy, you actually slept so late, what if someone comes to worship?"

"Who knows...... I saw that it wasn't dawn yet, so I went back to sleep......"

"So, it's not that it's not dawning, it's a mutation!"

Looking at the unmotivated Reimu in distress, how did Wu Ya feel that compared to this serious witch, he seemed to be more reliable as a passerby.

"Look, red fog, this is definitely not a normal phenomenon, is it?"

"Really?"

Reimu looked up at the red mist in the sky outside, paused for two or three seconds, and then said:

"It doesn't seem like a big deal."

"Ah, it doesn't seem like a big deal...... Wrong! ”

Subconsciously agreed, Wu Ye hurriedly changed his words.

Indeed, compared to the mutations they had solved with the previous generation of shrine maidens, the red mist that didn't hurt at all was really not a big deal, but now was the time to compare this kind of thing?

"Isn't it the witch's job to solve the mutation? If you don't deal with it, what are you going to do with this anomaly, waiting for it to disappear on its own? ”

"What a way! It would be a great help if the mutation itself would disappear, Wu Ye, you can actually come up with such a powerful method, could it be that you are a genius? ”

“......”

At this moment that made Takeya speechless, he finally realized that this generation of Hakurei witches seemed to be missing something from his bones.

That's right, that's the most basic quality of the profession of a Hakurei shrine maiden......

For a long time, the three basic rules of self-survival, such as eating and waiting for death, dreaming to make money, and being deceived and abducted, seem to have lost the basic understanding that being a witch is to work.

It doesn't seem like a problem to say that, after all, for Reimu, work seems to be completely superfluous.

Because the income of the Witch of the Poree has always been a mystery, whether it is whether you can get money if you solve the mutation, or whether there is no variation that can be solved, how the witch should make a living, each generation of the Witch does not seem to care.

So whether there is a change or not, the life of the witch seems to have always been so ordinary, there is no big fish and meat, but it is not starved to death at home.

Reimu lives in such a world every day, so in addition to thinking about how to make money, her daily life is to sit in the backyard of the shrine, eating dumplings, drinking tea, and waiting for dark......

What a depravity!

Has this generation of shrine maidens fallen to such an extent?!

Although the ancestors of the witch said that there were countless bad comments, but they also caused trouble everywhere every day, well, no, they went everywhere to solve the mutations, how could they be taught like this, and Reimu became a salted fish instead?

Although it is said that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, but I have never heard of this kind of operation, is this the so-called intergenerational inheritance? Wait, how can you say that the last generation of witches was also a salted fish? Uh, no, the more the topic is getting more and more outrageous......

Takeya, who failed to persuade Reimu, was directly sent by the other party to change his clothes, and the depressed Takeya came to his room, while changing out of his pajamas, while thinking about how to convince this pit daddy witch for a while, but at this moment, a strange light flashed, and a magic array with a pentagram suddenly appeared under his feet.

"What......!"

Before he could react, everything around him had changed, and in the blink of an eye, he had come to a place that seemed to be a library, as if the room had no end and was full of shelves full of books.

And there was also a girl with long purple hair in front of him, and at this time, this voice came from behind him:

"Fortunately, Lord Pache I've brought him here."
