The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

“So slow”

"Indeed, it was unusually slow this time."

The morning breeze is gentle and the sun is warm all over the place. It is obviously a new day full of vigor, but Hakurei Shrine still maintains its usual half-dead atmosphere, but it seems to be especially true today.

At the end of the long stone staircase, under the red torii gate, Reimu hugged the broom and Kaguya hugged his knees, the two sat there waiting anxiously.

"Hey, Miko, aren't you kidding me? You promised Takeya will be back soon?"

Pointing to his watch, Kaguya asked questioningly:

"It's been almost twenty minutes now, right?"

"It's noisy to you, that guy Takeya is slow, what's the use of complaining to me?"

"Nonsense! It's you who said that I will wait for him to come back soon!"

"It's so troublesome. If you don't want to wait, go back. Why are you staying at my shrine?"

"Who is the troublesome guy? I've been waiting for two minutes. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to leave now?"

"Are you stupid?"

"Want to fight, miko!"

Reimu and Kaguya, one is a salted fish who hates the excitement, and the other is a wasted house who likes to join in the fun. They seem to have the same essence, but in fact their personalities are very different.

In fact, in five minutes, they had already wasted a lot of saliva on each other, but now they repeated the operation just now.

So it was precisely because of this that they were so immersed in the fun of squirting that they completely ignored a certain maid who had been standing in front of them for a while.

"well."

The blue and white maid finally didn't wait for the two impolite guys to react, and said helplessly:

"That, Miss Reimu, and the one on the other side is, Mount Penglai, Miss Kaguya, right?"

"Eh?"

"Um?"

Two salted fish, er, no, it was a salted fish and an abandoned house that raised their heads at the same time, and finally saw Sakuya standing in front of them for a long time.

"Isn't this the maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion? What's the matter with you coming to my shrine? Could it be that you want to pay homage?"

When he said the last sentence, Reimu's eyes lit up, but Sakuya smiled wryly and shook his head:

"You misunderstood Miss Lingmeng. That's not the case. I came here today to entrust you with something."

"What? I'm not here to throw money in. It's so boring."

Reimu, who was realistic and never concealed anything, was very shameless. He didn't even listen to Sakuya's words before he picked up the broom and turned back to the shrine, sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Well"

Sakuya, who was completely ignored, felt a little embarrassed. If others were so rude, she would definitely not say anything more, but if the target were the Hakurei Miko who had been kind to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, or to her eldest lady. , but she couldn't leave calmly.

"Haha, it's interesting. Everyone came to Hakurei Miko today with a request?"

Kaguya on the side patted her skirt and stood up slowly, looking at Sakuya with curiosity:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet. You know my name, but I don't know yours."

"Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Sakuya's perfect etiquette made Kaguya smile with satisfaction, admiring it very much.

In other words, she has no dislike for anyone who is polite and can talk to her in words. After all, for a long time before, she had been living with a guy who could only talk with fists and flames.

"So, maid, why did you come to see Hakurei Miko? Is it also about a resentful spirit?"

"Huh? Could it be that Miss Horaizan came to the shrine to find Miss Reimu because of this incident?"

The surprised expression on Sakuya's face was obviously that Kaguya guessed it correctly.

"No need to be so respectful, just call me Kaguya."

Kaguya narrowed the distance between the two of them without any hesitation:

"Are there also ghosts in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Sakuya's smile became slightly solemn:

"Although Lady Patchouli has set up a barrier near the Scarlet Devil Mansion to prevent the evil spirits from invading, this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. I came to Miss Reimu just to entrust her with an investigation."

"I see, it seems that our purpose is the same."

"It seems that not only the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but also resentful spirits have appeared in other places in Gensokyo."

At first Sakuya thought that the Scarlet Devil Mansion was a special situation, but she didn't expect that this was happening all over Gensokyo. Wait, in this case, isn't this a mutation?

"You are in good luck, Sakuya. I have just reached an agreement with the miko about investigating the abnormality."

"Really?"

"Um."

Glancing at Reimu who snorted suddenly behind her, Kaguya snickered and said:

"Reimu and Takeru have agreed to investigate the abnormality, free of charge."

"real?"

Sakuya looked at Reimu with doubt, and it was not surprising that Takeru would help her, because he was a restless guy, and although his combat power was very low, she was surprised that Reimu would agree so simply.

After all, this is a total money addict.

"really."

Probably reading more interesting connotations from Sakuya's question, Kaguya smiled more happily, and after laughing, she asked:

"By the way, with the combat power of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, it's not difficult to deal with mere wraiths, right? Why don't you guys do it yourself?"

"Well. In fact, Lady Patchouli planned to investigate by herself at first, but her body is not suitable for going out, and she also feels that it is more appropriate to entrust such a matter to a witch instead of her. The key is..."

Having said that, Sakuya suddenly smiled bitterly and said:

"The first place where resentful spirits appeared in the Scarlet Devil Mansion was in the basement. At that time, there was not only Patchouli-sama but also Marisa in the basement."

"Marisa? The magician who was also at Eternity last time?"

This surprised Kaguya a little.

"Yes."

Sakuya said awkwardly:

"After Marisa discovered the wraith, she volunteered to help Lady Patchouli investigate. However, although the wraith is not powerful, to be honest, I am still a little worried about Marisa."

"Oh, I get it."

Kaguya said clearly:

"You didn't come here to ask Hakurei Miko to investigate because of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but because you were worried about Marisa?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, I didn't realize that you still have this kind of hobby, yo~Lily Girl~"

"You misunderstood!"

Sakuya blushed and said with embarrassment, of course she couldn't clearly say that it was because Patchouli muttered a lot of things about a certain black and white mouse after Marisa left, so she came here specially. .

Sakuya didn't know when Patchouli started to treat this guy who came to steal books every day specially, but it was just a maid's duty, so she didn't ask any questions.

However, compared to these gossip speculations, there are actually more important things that Sakuya made a special trip to Hakurei Shrine.

"Well, isn't Wu Ye-kun here? I haven't seen it since just now."

"Wu Ye? You haven't come back yet. Why, do you have something to do with him?"

"Yes."

Sakuya hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassingly:

"Missy said that Wu Ye stole Gungnir again, and asked me to get it back."

".ah?"
