Chapter Forty-Six: The Sadden's Magician and the Blackmailer's Witch
"Takeya...... Pierced by a sharpshooter? β
Remilia's words left Marisa's mind blank for a moment.
As the strongest magician among the humans in Gensokyo, she had never thought that there would be a "risk" in solving the mutation, let alone something like "death".
Marisa had always thought that such a thing was far away from them, and of course, she couldn't be blamed for being naΓ―ve, after all, the guys she knew were monsters that couldn't be inferred by common sense.
Whether it's her neighbor in the Forest of Magic, the magician, her friend at the Hakurei Shrine, or the Shirasawa teacher at the Hito-no-Sato Temple, they are all existences that can't be restrained by common sense.
Instead of having Marisa worry about their safety, let Marisa worry about whether they would cause problems for the safety of others.
Marisa, who grew up in such an environment, naturally doesn't think about so many consequences when she does things, plus she herself is also the kind of big personality, and she won't think about the so-called risks in advance.
But today, she was surprised to find that some things had always been with them, but they had never found out.
Her friend, Takeya Takasaka, a human with superpowers, seemed to be hovering in her ears the words he had said a moment ago, and at this moment they seemed to be separated forever.
β...... Damn it! β
Marisa suddenly lowers the brim of her hat, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Hey! Reimu, let's go! β
"...... go?"
Not understanding what Marisa's nerves were at the moment, Reimu asked strangely:
"Where are you going?"
"Needless to say!"
Marisa lowered her head and shouted:
"Of course it's the underworld! Let's go and get Takeya's soul back! β
β......β
What are you talking about, you idiot.
The corners of Reimu's eyes twitched as she looked at Marisa who suddenly let out a bold statement, although she didn't know what she meant, but did you really think of that young girl Enma on the other side of the Santu River as an ornament?
Say grab it, what do you think is a place in the underworld, come and go when you want?
Also, what is it to snatch Takeya's soul back...... Well?
Finally, Reimu seems to understand what the reason for Marisa's abnormal behavior from the beginning.
This stupid person, doesn't he know that Wu Ye is actually "not going to die"? yes, I don't think I told Marisa about it once......
Reimu tried to ask Remilia:
"Remilia, are you sure you hit Takeya with your attack?"
"Nonsense, just a human being, can Miss Ben still miss?"
Although the shrine maiden's question was a little unclear, Remilia answered anyway, and then she asked with a frown:
"That guy just said, that human, dead?"
"Huh?"
Doesn't it seem that this guy has found out either? That's right, the "disappearance" and "death" in Takeya's state are very similar, and if I hadn't known the inside story for a long time, even I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
Reimu, who had figured everything out, suddenly had an extremely sinister thought in his head.......
"Hey! Bloodsucker! It's a shame that you dare to attack the people of my Hakurei Shrine! β
"Huh?"
Remilia was stunned and looked at Reimu who suddenly put on a cold face, why did she suddenly change her face when she didn't care about anything just now?
"Wu is also my friend, you dare to kill it!"
Reimu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward violently, seeing that Remilia frowned, and even Sakuya showed an expression like a great enemy.
"Listen, vampire, I don't mind the mutation, but you dare to kill the people of the Hakurei Shrine casually, as the witch of Hakurei, I definitely can't bear this breath!"
β...... What do you want to do? β
"Hmph."
Smiling suspiciously, Reimu stretched out his right hand and gestured with money:
"Sincerity!"
β......β
"Wu can also be the only superpower in our shrine, you actually killed him, that doesn't mean a little sincerity, don't believe it."
β......β
What the hell does this witch's brain circuit do?
But before Remilia's taunt could speak, Marisa on the side couldn't help it.
"Hey! Reimu! You've gone too far! β
"Huh?"
Reimu turned her head in confusion to see Marisa clenching her fists, as if she was trying to endure something.
"Can a friend be measured in money?"
A rebuke was righteous, and Reimu almost wanted to go up and give the other party two blows when he heard it.
This idiot! If you don't take advantage of the fact that the other party is not clear now, you will have no chance if you are exposed in the future!
In short, get rid of Marisa first, and fool Remilia to the first place!
"Marisa, I'll tell you about this later, but don't talk about it now."
β...... I misread you, Reimu! Never mind! I'll look for it alone! β
Marisa grabbed the broomstick in one hand, leaving behind a frustrated curse that disappeared into the sky.
β...... Tsk, stupid. β
Reimu's brow furrowed, and she immediately turned to glare at Remilia.
"Do you understand now? Vampire, sincerity, show a little sincerity! β
"What a joke!"
Although I don't know why the other party is indifferent to the death of his friend, but insists on such a boring thing, Remilia has never been the master who can be coerced so simply.
What's more, she never thought that the human had died so directly, besides-
"You robbers, you still want compensation, return my Gangnir to me first!"
"Who knows where you left that thing!"
"Don't lie! It was the human who took it! β
"Ahh yes, yes! β
I actually lost to such an undisciplined money junkie?
Remilia, who was forced to the bottom line by Reimu's shamelessness, finally put down all the shelves, opened her throat and quarreled with Reimu.
"You bandits......! Stealing my Gungnir and destroying my Red Devil Pavilion, and now you dare to ask for compensation! β
"One yard to one yard! Sincerity, I asked you to show some sincerity, don't you understand? I'm a dead man here! Wu also turned to ashes, hey! β
What Reimu said was reasonable, and at first glance it really seemed to be invulnerable, but just when she thought that the victory was in her hands, oh no, it was the money, a familiar roar suddenly came from behind her-
"Damn, Reimeng, you bastard, I'm still alive and well!"
β......β
β......β
The boy's roar caused the two in the argument to shift their eyes to him at the same time, and the scene fell into a brief dead silence, and thenβ
"Takeya! You idiot, why are you coming back so soon! β
Reimu stepped forward and grabbed Takeya's neckline, the resentment in his eyes as if he owed her 1.8 million.
At the same time, Remilia directly pounced and "rescued" him from Reimu's hands.
"Thief! Hurry up and give me back my Gungnier! β
This is full of momentum, but because Remilia has just been treated by Reimu, her demonic power and injuries have not fully recovered, and because of her height, she seems to be able to only reach Takeya's waist.
At this moment, Remilia, who viciously begged Takeya for a spear, seemed to outsiders to be more like a coquettish sister holding her brother's hand......
However, unfortunately, the upright Tengu reporter, Shotimaru Fumi, happened to record this scene.
Click!
"Wow, that's big news!"
β......β
That day, Remilia didn't get her sharpshooter back, thinking that all she had lost was a powerful weapon.
But when she saw her picture in the newspaper she had brought back the next day, she suddenly realized that she might have lost the dignity she could never pick up again......
