Chapter 6 The most important thing for us to be the god of death is to carry a sickle with us

He recognized that he couldn't shoot anyone on the surveillance, maybe it was a technical crush, and he also recognized the flowers that were out of season in the house, maybe the other party was rich in resources, but what the hell is this sickle?

It's a school, a school for high school students, and it's absolutely indifferent to something like a sickle, both in sense and function, right?

The moment of complaining, Wu also finally understood where Dansheng Valley's sentence "The Grim Reaper of the School Park" came from.,Indeed,Such a huge scythe,In addition to putting a stocking on the head to shout FFF,It seems that only the legendary "Grim Reaper" will use it.。

And the blade of this scythe is not flat, but twisted like a river, but in any case, the piercing cold light at the sharp edge will never deceive.

This is probably genuine, at least in terms of sharpness, it is definitely a murder weapon-level thing.

"Want to try it?"

As if seeing the last trace of expectation in Takeya's eyes, Dansheng Gu said with a smile, and then without waiting for the other party to respond, he casually picked up a wild chrysanthemum from the ground and slid its branch against the blade of the knife-

Wild chrysanthemum was easily cut into two pieces by the sickle.

"The real thing."

"The real thing......

There was silence for a while, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Dansheng Gu's mouth, but Wu Ye didn't know what expression to use to face it.

"Takasaka-san, is there anything else you'd like to say? Although we are all atheists, we can't pretend to be invisible to such a supernatural phenomenon, right? ”

“...... All right. ”

Wu also admitted defeat, so much strange evidence, he was indeed speechless, and now there was only one way to determine whether this was a prank or a supernatural phenomenon.

Since things cannot be proven in this world, one can only hope for another world.

On this night, Takeya appeared under the red torii gate of Hakurei Shrine as usual.

"What? Death's scythe? Why do you ask this? ”

Reimu looked at Takeya with a puzzled face, he didn't practice his sword anymore today, and he pestered himself to ask this strange question as soon as he came.

"Can't you think about it?"

"You can't think about it! I'm in a good state of mind! ”

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Wu also explained:

"What I want to ask is, does the real Grim Reaper carry a scythe?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Reimu's mentally retarded expression made Takeya's face darker:

"Isn't the sickle their symbol? It's like a certificate. ”

Certificate ......

Hearing this strange metaphor, Wu Ye lost his expression for a while.

"Wu Ye, what's wrong with you today, it's good to suddenly ask about the Grim Reaper."

"Well, it's not a big deal."

Grabbing his hair, Wu Ye paused for a moment to sort out his words before he said:

"I encountered some strange things in the outside world today, so I came to ask because I was curious."

"The outside world? How does it work? ”

As soon as she heard that it was the outside world, Reimu seemed to be interested in it, which is not difficult to understand, if it happened in Gensokyo, then she would definitely not want to hear it.

The reason is very simple, because for this shrine maiden, Gensokyo's fun story = trouble ≈ mutation = she is going out again, so Reimu, who is determined to drink tea and drink until death, must not accept such a tired and tired daily life.

But what the outside world says is another matter, anyway, she doesn't care, and it's interesting to listen to it as a story.

"Well, how to put it, it was a strange incident in our school, and then the surveillance did not capture the prisoner."

"What is surveillance?"

"Well, it's probably something like a skill that's designed for voyeurism."

"Same as the purple gap?"

Reimu's words instantly lowered the air to the bottom of the ice, and Takeya first looked left and right to see if there was anything like a gap before answering:

“...... It's a lot worse in terms of strength, but it should be about the same in terms of the effect of voyeurism. ”

"Okay, I see."

Nodding her head in understanding, Reimu continued to ask:

"And then? What's going on? ”

"It's just a bunch of flowers in a room that don't appear there that shouldn't be there, and it's every season."

"Flowers."

Hearing this, Lingmeng raised her eyebrows:

"Speaking of which, there have been a lot of tweeds in Gensokyo recently."

"Is Gensokyo too?"

Takeshi was surprised, this fact seemed to prove that it was one step closer to his speculation:

"When did this start?"

"It's just recently."

Reimu tried to recall it and said:

"When I went out to buy tea, I found that there were a lot of flowers around me, and although it was beautiful, the smell was too strong and a little unbearable."

"Is this an anomaly?"

"It doesn't count."

Lingmeng replied unthinkingly:

"Even if I don't solve it, I won't solve it."

“...... Hey, shrine maidens. ”

"Long-winded, don't try to preach to me, Wu Ye."

Reimu turned his face away as he spoke, and this time it seemed that he had made up his mind not to solve the change:

"It's okay to leave these flowers alone, anyway, I haven't heard of anyone being killed by the fragrance of flowers."

"Too irresponsible, aren't you?"

"It's noisy, I'm a witch, and if I say it's not a mutation, it's not a mutation."

"Okay, forget it."

Wu also surrendered, and no one could stop Lingmeng when he became arrogant, anyway, since the danger of the mutation was almost close to zero as she said, it was not a big solution to the problem, at most, it was just a little unpleasant for others to say.

"That's right, Reimu."

Since he decided to ignore the mutation, Wu also planned to seriously deal with the problems of the outside world.

"Do you know the Grim Reaper?"

"Ah——?h

Exaggeratedly dragging the tail note, Reimu glared at Takeya angrily and said:

"Hey, didn't I just say I wouldn't fix the mutation, are you going to curse me like that? Have I forgotten all the kindness that I let you eat and drink for nothing at the shrine? ”

“...... Let's not talk about who the shrine's finances are maintained by now.,Where did I curse you.。 ”

Depressed and funny, Wu also stabilized his inexplicable mood and said:

"I wanted to know something about the Death Scythe, so I wanted to ask if you knew one."

"Uh, that's right."

Stunned, Reimu didn't have the guilt of misunderstanding others, her discipline was long gone.

"The Grim Reaper and I are so far away from each other that we don't usually see each other, and they seem to have a division of labor."

"Division of labor?"

"Well, some of the Grim Reaper are responsible for managing the souls of dead monsters, some are responsible for human souls, and I know a few of the parts that are responsible for monsters, but they don't usually go to work, so I guess they can't find anyone when they go."

"Huh, why?"

"Because no youkai died."

Reimu said in an envious tone:

"The Shinigami, who manages the soul of the youkai, is basically in a state of nothing to do when there are no youkai dead, and the key is that if war does not break out, there will rarely be a youkai who die in peacetime."

“...... It seems to make a lot of sense. ”

Youkai are basically long-lived types.,It's better to say that there are no short-lived youkai at all.,If it's not an accidental death.,The god of death in Gensokyo, who is responsible for the soul of the youkai, seems to be no different from not going to work.。

"So, is it impossible to find the Grim Reaper?"

"It's not impossible."

Reimu frowned, as if struggling to remember something:

"I think there's a Grim Reaper who specializes in managing the souls of dead humans in Gensokyo, and she's supposed to be at work, right?"
