The gods descend into reality

"Your Highness, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is preparing to hold a banquet. This is the invitation."

A woman dressed in red and blue, completely out of place as a doctor, looked at the dignified young girl sitting behind the screen and spoke respectfully.

Her back view alone outlines a perfect body curve.

"Splash!"

The door was opened, and Yagokoro Eirin's previously respectful expression immediately turned dark.

The girl did indeed have a face that could be described as perfect, but at this moment, that perfect face was full of haggardness, and her dark eyes looked as if she was wearing sunglasses.

Speaking of which, what exactly caused me to raise that dignified and beautiful princess to become like this?

"No, I have something very important to do that concerns my life."

Kaguya Houraisan glanced at the computer that was open behind her and spoke without changing her expression.

“Your Highness, someone has fulfilled the conditions you set out back then.”

The girl, who had originally planned to go back to playing games, paused in her tracks.

“Just say I’m dead. If you don’t believe me, take the head I left at the bottom of the well last time and show it to him.”

They spoke in a very calm and ordinary tone, yet they said things that were terrifying. But both the girl and Yagokoro Eirin seemed to be used to it.

"They're said to be visitors from another world. According to the sage of monsters, their world can connect to many game and anime worlds. If Your Highness is unwilling to go, I will try other methods—"

"Pfft~"

Under Eirin Yagokoro's speechless gaze, a dagger accurately slit her own throat, but the gushing blood stopped immediately, and the previously haggard Kaguya Houraisan instantly regained her radiant appearance.

"Wait a moment, let me tidy my clothes."

Eirin Yagokoro...

This is so hard for me~

Chapter 321 The Big Fat Sheep

"Big news, big news! The Scarlet Devil Mansion is holding a banquet, and the Youkai Sage has extended invitations to all the major powers in Gensokyo. The Youkai Sage is suspected of colluding with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, preparing to launch another Gensokyo anomaly—haha~"

A gap appeared out of thin air, leaving behind two black feathers.

A certain upright and kind tabloid reporter suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the sky over Gensokyo seemed to become even clearer in an instant.

"That tengu has been getting more and more outrageous lately. A few days ago, she took a picture of me crawling on the ground helping a furry doll find its mother, and then she accused me of being so poor that I was eating dirt." Taking a deep sip of hot tea, the girl in the red and white shrine maiden outfit with her armpits exposed squinted her eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

The tea made my stomach, which had been empty, feel slightly fuller.

With no one visiting the shrine, things have been getting increasingly difficult lately.

However, I didn't expect that this tea, which had been steeped for three whole days, would still have such a rich aroma and such a good filling effect. It seems that from now on, I will have to steep a cup of tea for at least ten days.

"Ara~ Although some of the news about this crow tengu is untrue, I think there is some truthful information at times as well."

Yukari Yakumo took a sip of tea while Reimu looked on with a pained expression, and said with a half-smile.

I've been away from Gensokyo quite often lately, so Reimu might actually be struggling to make ends meet.

Reimu, hiding her pained expression, swore that if she had known the tea leaves, which had been steeped for three days, would still have such a rich aroma and be so filling, she would never have served it to that old hag.

Sure enough, there's no need for tea when entertaining guests; plain water will suffice!

That's right, let's serve plain water to our guests next time!

"Is what that tengu crow said true? So you really intend to join forces with the Scarlet Devil Mansion to launch an incident?"

Reimu Hakurei's gaze instantly sharpened.

Reimu Hakurei initially refused to resolve the incident.

Solving the anomaly requires finding the cause yourself, which consumes energy and physical strength. Where does the energy and physical strength come from?

Of course, it comes from food!

I'm so poor I'm practically eating dirt, how could I possibly have time to help you solve this anomaly?

However, after resolving several more incidents, Reimu Hakurei realized that she had fallen in love with this feeling. It wasn't that the other party wanted to throw a banquet after resolving the incident; Reimu didn't care about banquets or anything like that. She simply enjoyed the feeling of resolving incidents.

Hehe~

Looking at Reimu Hakurei, who was pretending to be confused when she knew the truth, Yukari Yakumo sneered twice.

Am I referring to the anomaly?

Anyway, whoever is struggling financially knows the truth.

"This is a banquet invitation."

Before Reimu Hakurei could continue speaking, Yukari Yakumo placed an invitation on the tea table.

Whether or not they received an invitation was irrelevant to the people of Gensokyo.

After all, the point of a banquet is to have a lively atmosphere; whether or not you have an invitation doesn't really matter, as long as you show up.

As a long-lived species, living too long can sometimes be a source of trouble.

People get bored easily. The so-called anomalies are just these great monsters trying to add some excitement to their otherwise uneventful lives.

It's like watching a calm lake all the time.

At first, you'll think, "Wow, it's so beautiful, just like a mirror."

But after a while, it gets irritating because it's too uneventful.

At that moment, you couldn't resist throwing a couple of pebbles in to add some ripples to the lake.

These anomalies are actually just some fun that the great monsters find for themselves.

Of course, some genuinely want to initiate the mutation.

For example, during the Crimson Mist Incident, a certain dignified vampire young lady genuinely wanted to rule the entire Gensokyo.

Although it didn't work out in the end, and even cost the Scarlet Devil Mansion's food supply for the next year to host the banquet, if you think about it carefully...

At least the young lady's courage to attack the House of Yokai, the Sunflower Field Hakurei Shrine, and other major forces all by herself while relying solely on the Scarlet Devil Mansion is commendable.

"Even without this, I'll still keep an eye on you guys to make sure you don't cause any trouble."

Reimu Hakurei glanced at the invitation and said in a dutiful tone.

After all, what's wrong with Yukari Yakumo lately?

Previously, I could go to Yakumo Yukari's house every month to get a free meal, but recently I haven't seen Yakumo Yukari much.

Speaking of which—

Could it be that because winter is approaching, this old hag has recently gone to hibernate again?

“Ara~ Little Reimu, I always feel like you’re thinking about something bad.”

Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Humph~"

Reimu Hakurei didn't answer, turning her head to one side, but her attitude was clear.

I love seeing you know I've been talking badly about you in my heart, but you can't do anything about it.

"Hehe, don't forget to attend the banquet. There's a big fat sheep among the guests this time."

However, Yukari Yakumo did not take action as Reimu Hakurei had anticipated.

This disappointed Reimu Hakurei.

After all, according to his plan, if Yukari Yakumo dared to make a move here, he would unleash a combo and grab her to extort money from that fox.

Ahem, how can a priestess subduing a monster be called extortion? I was just asking for compensation.

Yukari Yakumo didn't make a move, which disappointed Reimu Hakurei somewhat, but her eyes lit up instantly when she heard Yukari Yakumo's words.

How fat?

“We can dismantle all of your Hakurei Reimu buildings, replace them all with pure gold, and rebuild three to five more without any problem.”

After thinking for a moment, Yukari Yakumo said.

Although Xiao Se doesn't seem to have a very good impression of him, there are so many life forms in Gensokyo. As long as he can attract the attention of these races, he can make a huge profit by taking one more person out of Gensokyo.

“Σ(￥▽￥“a”

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari opened the gap and stepped into it, seemingly about to leave at any moment.

However, Reimu said that she has no feelings for this old hag right now, and her mind is full of thoughts about a fat sheep.

"Oh, right, Reimu."

Then, as if she had thought of something, Yukari Yakumo looked at Reimu through the slowly shrinking gap.

"If you have nothing else to do, hurry up and leave. You're just getting in the way."

Reimu said with a displeased expression.

"The tea in the box under your bed tastes really good. Remember not to brew it too many times!"

Reimu Hakurei paused, looking at the strong-smelling tea leaves in her hand.

A box under the bed?

tea?

So this isn't tea from three days ago?

Damn it, that's my food supply for the next ten days of hunger!

"Dreams are born!"

The Yin-Yang Sphere slammed towards where Yakumo Yukari was, but unfortunately, the gap had completely disappeared by then.

Chapter 322 Can the Second Miss's Game Be Played?

"Is this the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

Xiao Se looked at the castle in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It's a standard European-style castle, just like the legendary place where vampires live.

However, the overall color scheme is predominantly dark red. Perhaps because vampires dislike sunlight, there aren't many windows, but some dark red windows can be seen from the outside. At the very top of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is a huge clock tower.
