Chapter 4 Unexpected Goals
"So, what are you here for? Let's start with it, you can just take the book, and you don't have to make such a bad excuse every time. ”
“...... Well, how can I say this again, and besides, I borrowed it! ”
Marisa, who was poked in the sore spot by Pacouli when they met, felt innocent, and although she borrowed books on a daily basis, she really came to do business today.
The rest of Marisa in the Red Devil Pavilion can only be regarded as acquaintances, and the only ones who can barely be called familiar are her playmate, Second Miss Flandrew, and Pacouli, who is also a magician.
But apparently Marisa wasn't in the mood to play today.
"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore."
As she spoke, Patchuri shook her head to herself, Marisa's expression was so easy to understand, everything was written on her face, and she didn't want to make it difficult for the other party, that expression of distress was really unbearable to force her to do anything.
It's just that Patchouli still has to say what needs to be said...... Or should I say it's advice.
"You can just stay here for me, don't go to Remy's side if it's okay, beware of a few more holes in your body." Patchouli kindly reminded.
Ever since Takeya disappeared from Gensokyo, Remilia's mood has been at a very bad point, and on the contrary, her temperament, which was not too irritable, has been infinitely magnified in this situation.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Remilia and Takeya is not ordinary, and this is not simply because the boy can summon Gungnir, who belongs to Remilia.
In that period that only a few people knew, the time that Remilia spent in the outside world, this was the foundation of the bond between the two.
How big the blow of Takeya's disappearance was to Remilia, that is not something that can be described in words, not to mention that there are secrets that are not known to everyone.
On the night of the outbreak of the Lunar War, Sakiya was seriously injured, and at that time they could almost conclude that it was hopeless.
Patchouli had even secretly marked Sakiya's soul with magic so that they could search for the maid's reincarnation, but strangely the next day at the end of the war, she recovered without warning.
What's even weirder is that Sakiya's ability has actually disappeared.
All Paciuli knows is that Remilia once asked Takeya to find the deformed prisoner, and judging from the results, Takeya should have succeeded, otherwise Sakiya wouldn't be better.
But because of this, Remilia has a little self-blame in addition to being sad.
Although sanity can guarantee Remilia's self-control, no one knows where the limit is.
Pache was kind enough to remind Marisa not to provoke the current Remilia, but the most important purpose of this guy's appearance here this time is to "protect" Remilia.
Of course, who protects whom, at least make sure that Remilia is in Marisa's sight, otherwise there is no point in her not being here.
"Well, Pache ......" Despite knowing that it was difficult, Marisa tried to ask, "Where is Remilia now?" ”
"I said you......"
Letting out a sigh helplessly, Pache didn't continue to preach to Marisa, although the other party was nervous, but after all, he was not stupid, and he knew Remilia's situation and insisted on it, there must be a reason for her.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, I ran outside when I was chased and beaten, and I managed to sort out the collection of books here......"
"Thank you, Patchouli!" Hearing that the other person was relieved, Marisa happily went up to give the other a hug.
"Stay away from me!" Pache picked up a book and separated Marisa's head, and the crimson on her face didn't know if she was angry or ......
Just as the two were fighting, Yakumo's voice suddenly sounded in the library.
"We were still thinking about where you went, but I didn't expect to be lazy here." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yakumo Purple walked out of the gap.
"Yakumo Murasaki?" Patchouli was unexpectedly stunned, but she didn't expect this matter to have something to do with the other party.
"Cai, I'm not lazy." Marisa reluctantly argued, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't have enough confidence.
"Forget it, we're here to tell you bad news." As soon as Yakumo Murasaki spoke, Marisa's face tightened.
As if he saw the other party's thoughts, Yakumo Zi shook his head lightly and said, "It's not Remilia, you come with us." ”
Marisa hurriedly lifted her broom and followed her into Yakumo's gap, leaving Pache confused......
The place where the two crossed the gap turned out to be the Eternal Pavilion.
Reimu was already waiting here, and Marisa stepped forward to see that the person who was attacked was Kaguya!
"She was attacked before she could go to the Eternal Pavilion," Yakumo Zi glanced at the traces of the battle around her, frowning slightly, "It seems that she resisted for a while, but she was still defeated." ”
“...... Purple," Reimu asked as she surveyed the surrounding traces of battle, "Didn't you notice it in time?" ”
"I'm sorry, all our attention is on the others, I didn't expect to be among the three of you." Yakumo Murasaki honestly admits her mistakes.
"Forget it." Lingmeng paused, he didn't mean to blame Zi, it was useless to hold anyone to fault now, it was pointless to say anything about it if something had happened.
"Now it seems that it is more dangerous for us to go our separate ways." Reimu suggested again, "Let's go with what I originally thought, let's get together." ”
"It's true that it's dangerous to be separated, but it's not necessary to concentrate," Yakumo Murasa glanced at Reimu and Marisa, "You two will stay in the old hell together, and we'll take care of the rest of the rest, if there's a problem, we'll bring you over immediately, okay?" ”
Considering that the possibility of Yakumo Purple encountering danger should be the lowest, after all, there is such an optimal means of escape as a gap, even if it is suppressed in strength, it is impossible to take her down easily.
Reimu only thought about it for a moment and agreed with the other party.
As for herself, with her strength, there is no opponent at all in this Gensokyo, and Reimu, who has obtained the full power of the Hakurei shrine maiden, has a fundamental boundary with others, which is another level.
It's not so much that she and Marisa go to protect the people of the Old Hell, but that she protects them alone, and by the way, Marisa is connected to her, and she is attacked alone.
It's a pity that this time they were wrong again.
I don't know if it's because Yakumo's ability has declined or if Reimu is so unlucky, the prisoners always seem to be able to find their weak points and attack.
After Kaguya, Aqiu was also attacked.
Without exception, all the people who were attacked fell into a strange coma, and this time there was no trace of a fight at the scene.
Things seem to have gone the way for the worse, and by now, the only people they had initially speculated about were Remilia and Akor.
