Chapter 30: The Head Maid Visits
"It's so slow......"
"Indeed, this time it was unusually slow."
The morning breeze is smooth, the sun is warm everywhere, and it is obviously a new day full of vitality, but Hakurei Shrine still maintains the same half-dead atmosphere as ever, but it seems to be especially worse today.
At the end of the long stone staircase, under the red torii, Reimu held a broom and Kaguya held his knees, and the two sat there waiting.
"Hey, shrine maiden, you're not fooling me, are you? What about Wu who said that he would come back soon? ”
Pointing to his watch, Kaguya asked with a questioning face:
"It's been almost twenty minutes, hasn't it?"
"I'm noisy to you, Wu Ye, that guy is slow, what's the use of you complaining to me?"
"Nonsense! You said he would be back soon, and I'll wait! ”
"It's troublesome, you don't have to wait to go back, why are you doing at my shrine."
"Who the hell is the troublesome guy? I've been waiting for two minutes, and I'm going to suffer if I leave now? ”
"Are you stupid?"
"Do you want to fight?"
Reimu and Kaguya,One belongs to the salted fish who hates the excitement very much.,The other belongs to the abandoned house that likes to join in the fun.,It seems that the essence is the same.,But in fact, the personalities are far from each other.。
In fact, at the time of five minutes, they had already wasted some saliva on each other, but now they had just repeated the operation again.
So it's precisely because of this that they, who are immersed in the fun of spraying each other, don't notice a certain maid lady who has been standing in front of them for a while.
"Ugh."
The blue and white maid finally didn't wait for the two impolite guys to react, and reluctantly spoke herself:
"That, Miss Reimu, and the one on the other side is, Penglai Mountain, Miss Kaguya, right?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
The two salted fish, uh no, a salted fish and an abandoned mansion raised their heads at the same time, and finally saw Sakuya who had been standing in front of them for a long time.
"Isn't this the maid of the Red Devil Pavilion? Is there something wrong with you coming to my shrine? Isn't it possible that you are going to come to the shrine? ”
When he said the last sentence, Reimu's eyes lit up, but Sakiya shook his head with a wry smile:
"You misunderstood Miss Reimu, it's not like that, I'm here today to entrust you."
"What, I'm not here to throw money, it's boring."
Reimu, who is realistic and never hides it, is very faceless.,Without even listening to Sakuya's words, he picked up the broom and turned around and returned to the shrine.,There was a moment to clean up the fallen leaves on the ground.。
"Uh......"
Sakuya, who was completely ignored, was a little embarrassed, and if other people were so rude, she would definitely not say more, but if the object was replaced by a Hakurei witch who had been kind to the Red Devil Pavilion or her eldest lady, she couldn't leave directly.
"Hehe, what's interesting, did everyone come to find the Witch of Boli with a commission today?"
Kaguya on the side patted her skirt and slowly stood up, looking at Sakuya with a little curiosity:
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, you know the name of the concubine, but the concubine doesn't know your name."
"Sixteen Nightsakiya, the head maid of the Red Devil Pavilion."
Sakiya's perfect etiquette made Kaguya smile with satisfaction, and she looked very appreciative.
Or that she couldn't feel bad about anyone who was polite enough to talk to in words, after all, for a long time, she had been with someone who could only speak with fists and fire.
"So, maid, did you come to the Porie Shrine Maiden for something? Isn't it also about the resentful spirit? ”
"Huh? Could it be that Miss Penglai Mountain also came to the shrine to find Miss Reimu because of this incident? ”
Sakiya's surprised expression was obviously guessed correctly by Kaguya.
"Don't be so respectful, just call me Kaguya."
Kaguya's words didn't mind narrowing the distance between the two:
"Is there a resentful spirit in the Red Devil Pavilion as well?"
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Sakiya's smile was slightly solemn:
"Although Lord Pache has already laid an enchantment near the Red Devil Pavilion that will not be invaded by resentful spirits, this is only a palliative treatment, and I came to Miss Reimu to entrust her with an investigation."
"Well, it seems that our purpose is the same."
"It seems that not only the Red Devil Pavilion, but also other places in Gensokyo......
At first, Sakuya thought that the Red Devil Pavilion was a special case, but I didn't expect this to be happening all over Gensokyo, etc., so isn't this an anomaly?
"You're in luck, Sakiya, I've just negotiated with the shrine maiden about investigating the mutation."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
Glancing at Reimu, who was snorting coldly behind him, Kaguya snickered and said:
"Reimu and Takeya have agreed to investigate the mutation, free of charge."
"Really?"
Sakiya looked at Reimu in disbelief, and it was not surprising that Takeya would help her, because it was a guy who couldn't be idle, although his combat power was very low...... But it was a surprise that Reimu would agree so easily.
After all, this is a complete money junkie.
"Really."
Roughly reading more interesting connotations from Sakiya's question, Kaguya smiled even more happily, and only after laughing did she ask:
"By the way, with the combat power of the Red Devil Pavilion, it's not that difficult to deal with a mere resentful spirit, right? Why don't you do it yourself? ”
"This ...... Actually, at first, Pache Master planned to investigate on her own, but her body was not suitable for going out, and she also felt that it was more appropriate to ask the shrine maiden for such a thing than her, and the key was ......"
Speaking of this, Sakuya suddenly smiled bitterly:
"The first place where the Red Devil Pavilion appeared was the basement, and at that time there were not only Pache but also Marisa in the basement."
"Marisa? The magician who was also in the Eternal Pavilion last time? ”
This surprised Kaguya a little.
"Yes."
Saki Ya was embarrassed and said:
When Marisa discovers the Wraith, she volunteers to help Pache investigate, but although the Wraith is not powerful, she is honest...... I'm still a little worried about Marisa. ”
"Oh, I see."
Kaguya said clearly:
"You didn't come to commission the Hakurei witch to investigate because of the Red Devil Pavilion, but because you were worried about that Marisa?"
"Yes......"
"Hehe, I didn't see it, you still have this hobby, yo~Lily Girl~"
"You misunderstood!"
Sakuya blushed and said in shame, of course she couldn't say that it was because Patchouli had muttered a lot of words related to a certain black and white mouse in her mouth after Marisa left, so she came here on a special trip.
Sakuya didn't know when Patchouli started to treat this guy who came to steal books every day, but she didn't ask much about the maid's duties.
But compared to these gossip speculations, there are actually more important things to come to Hakurei Shrine in the night.
"That, isn't Wu Ye-kun here? I haven't seen it since then. ”
"Takeya? He hasn't come back yet, what's the matter, you're looking for him? ”
"Yes."
Sakiya hesitated for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed face:
"The eldest lady said that Takeya stole Gangnir again, and asked me to go and retrieve it."
“....... Yes? ”
