I was reincarnated in Gensokyo and aspired to become a great magician!!

"...It seems to be true." Meihong touched her long hair and came to the conclusion, "Then I simply won't go..."

"Ah, how about changing your hairstyle~" Zuo Linqin clapped his hands, as if he had come up with a good idea. "Change your hairstyle and put on a mask. It's dark now, so no one should be able to recognize you."

"You have to change your hairstyle..." Meihong sighed and complained, "I shouldn't have gotten close to you in the first place. Now I have to lose my integrity. This is really the biggest mistake of my life..."

"It's no use regretting now~ Just surrender obediently!" Zuo Linqin grinned evilly and stretched out his claws to Meihong's hair. Meihong usually messed up her hair, and now she can finally take revenge.

"It's up to you. You'd better hurry up. I'll go to sleep after eating." Meihong yawned and felt her hair being stirred by Zuo Linqin. "…What are you doing? I have a bad feeling."

"Hehehe, I don't have much experience in tying my hair, Huiyin usually helps me do it." Zuo Linqin took out a small comb and combed it casually. "It can only be tied to this extent... Is it okay..."

Zuo Linqin looked at his masterpiece and smiled embarrassedly, "It's so ugly..."

Zuo Linqin wanted to comb Meihong's hair into two ponytails, but the result was far from what he had imagined...

One ponytail is long, the other is short...one has more hair and the other has less hair.

It looks a bit weird, but paired with Meihong's beauty it has a unique beauty.

"This is such a look-oriented world..." Zuo Linqin said speechlessly. She actually felt that it was not bad to comb her hair like this.

"Okay, that's it." Meihong stood up nonchalantly. It didn't matter how she tied her hair. The worse it was, the less suspicious it would be.

"Here, the mask." Meihong stretched out her hand towards Zuo Linqin.

"Oh, oh." Zuo Linqin took out the Great Tengu mask he bought when he was shopping before from the system backpack.

"...Can't you have better taste?" Meihong took the Tengu mask, whose nose was about to break through the heaven and earth, with disdain, and put it on her face, covering her pretty face.

"...Meihong, I've thought about it." Zuo Linqin looked at it for a moment, and suddenly felt that the artistic sense exuded by this combination was hard to control. "Let's go back to sleep. Eating in the middle of the night will make you fat."

"Believe it or not, I will throw you into the sky right now?" Meihong took off half of her mask, her burning eyes filled with coldness. "At first, I wanted to torment you, but now I'm ready, and I won't torment you either... It seems like you really want to die."

"...Uh, the main reason is that this mask doesn't really match your temperament..." Zuo Linqin scratched his cheek awkwardly, "I feel embarrassed to stand with such a weirdo..."

"Oh, I don't care." Meihong straightened her mask and dragged Zuo Lin away. "Now, you have to listen to me. The positions have been reversed, silly apple!"

Imagine... a girl wearing an elegant dress, a messy ponytail, and a Daitengu mask on her head, walking on the street with a man's attitude. With that explosive visual effect, it's no wonder that Zuo Linqin gave up the idea of ​​going out on the street.

"Okay, I can walk by myself, don't pull me."

……

"But there are indeed no shops open at night. Where should we go?" Although Zuo Linqin was held by Meihong's hand to prevent him from running away, he still couldn't help looking around at the quiet street.

Meihong glanced at Zuo Linqin, and her voice came out through the mask, a little voiceless.

"Let's go to the Beast Path. There will be many stalls there, enough to fill your stomach." Meihong paused and added, "But humans may get into trouble if they walk in. Remember to follow me closely."

"Oh..." Zuo Linqin responded obediently.

The beast path was not far from the human world, and the two could reach their destination quickly on foot.

There were indeed several carts parked around the animal path, with steam constantly coming out of the roofs.

Probably because the store managers are all monsters, the food they sell is mostly weird things.

"This one, this one, and this one, they all specialize in making food for monsters. Their food is basically unacceptable to humans." Meihong pointed to several carts surrounded by people, and then pointed to several very deserted carts. "Look, the things these guys sell are more suitable for you. They are all very light."

"Meihong really knows a lot." Zuo Linqin smiled when he saw Meihong speaking very convincingly.

"That's right. I've been to all these restaurants. They are really unpleasant memories." Meihong twitched her lips. "My taste is pretty normal. When I ate at that restaurant, well... I almost wanted to cut off my tongue and then take out my stomach and throw it away."

“…Ahaha, ahaha…only Meihong can do such a thing.” Zuo Linqin listened to Meihong saying such bizarre things awkwardly, and crossed out all the busy shops.

"I recommend this one." Meihong pointed to a deserted cart with a red lantern hanging on it.

"I've been here before. The boss lady's grilled hagfish is really good."

"What kind of fish is a hagfish? I've never heard of it."

"Well, it's a scary-looking thing. You wouldn't be interested in seeing what it looks like." Meihong said lightly, leading Sarinko into the small shop filled with a fragrant aroma.

"Madam, please give me three skewers of lamprey, two skewers of beef offal, and two skewers of barbecued pork."

After finding a seat and sitting down very skillfully, Meihong placed her order directly to the proprietress who seemed to be a bird monster. As it was the first time for Saringo to come to such a unique place, she looked around.

"Okay, here you come...eh?" The proprietress seemed to be marinating meat. When she heard the customer's call, she turned around.

As a result, I was shocked by the looks of the two guests and my brain went blank.

Wha, what's going on?

"What? Better hurry up." Meihong ordered unceremoniously, yawning, "We still have to go back to sleep after we finish eating."

"Oh, oh, okay..." The proprietress was awakened from her daze by Meihong. She quickly picked up her tools and began to skillfully grill the lamprey, and from time to time she looked up and peeked at Meihong.

Meihong didn't seem to be angry at being peeked at as if she were a rare item. Mistyia finally couldn't suppress her (funny) nature and began to hum a song softly.

"Birds of the night, songs of the night, people in the darkness without even lights~?"

“Why is there no chicken?”

Mystia's body suddenly shuddered, and she looked at Sarinko dangerously.

"Silly Apple, what are you talking about?" Meihong punched Zoringo on the head, then apologized to Mistia, "I'm sorry, little brat is ignorant."

"It hurts!"

"Well...it's okay." Mystia nodded and continued with the work in her hands.

But the singing stopped.

Chapter 44: Four bottles can buy a Hakurei witch

"Your lamprey." Mistia sprinkled some unknown seasoning on it, poured some sauce on it, then put the food on a plate and brought it to the two of them.

"Thank you. I'm welcome then." Meihong thanked Mistia, then picked up the fullest bunch and handed it to Zuo Linqin. "Here, try it. It tastes really good."

"This lamprey looks no different from ordinary fish." Zuo Linqin poked the lamprey, then put his index finger dipped in the sauce into his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said, "Meihong Meihong~ feed me!"

“…Hey, are you crazy?” Through the mask, Meihong looked at Zuo Linqin with disgust.

"Ah~"

“…I really can’t do anything to you, only this time.” Meihong stretched out the lamprey and let Zuolin catch it in his mouth.

After getting the food, Zuo Linqin began to chew it like a hamster.

Mistia watched everything and couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body.

Will this mask really not affect my appetite... Mystia thought worriedly.

Zuo Linqin gently bit down on the eel meat, and a locked-in unique fragrance wafted out from the meat, sweeping across his mouth. The smooth and soft texture of the eel meat turned into a paste with a light chew, and combined with Mistia's exclusive sauce, the fresh and fragrant taste brought Zuo Linqin a good taste experience.

"This is delicious!" Zuo Linqin's eyes lit up and he praised without hesitation, "I originally thought that things from the water would have a fishy smell, but this thing is not only tender in texture, but the freshness completely replaces the fishy smell. It's really good!"

"Oh, of course. After all, it's the store I recommended." Meihong said proudly.

"I'm not praising you. The boss lady is standing in front of you. You are so shameless!" Zuo Linqin rolled his eyes at Meihong. "I feel like this will go well with rice. Very good... Boss lady, do you have rice? Give me a bowl?"

"Yes, coming right up!" Mistia temporarily put down the beef offal in her hand, picked up a simple wooden bowl, took out rice from the small pot next to it, filled the bowl, and placed it in front of Zolin Qin.

"Hey, I'm starting~"

"You're actually eating rice. Are you still asleep so late at night?" Meihong moved the mask to the side, revealing her pink little mouth. She took a bite of the lamprey. Although her expression was not as exaggerated as Zuo Linqin's, she was obviously enjoying it.

"Gu, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Zuo Lin swallowed the food in his mouth and said nonchalantly, "You can also go to Sister Youxiang's place to sleep tomorrow. As long as I finish my work, I have plenty of time anyway."

"You actually dare to work for that guy and still be lazy, you are quite capable." Meihong speechlessly glanced at Zuo Linqin, this thick-skinned guy.

"Your beef offal and barbecued pork." Mistia put the food on a plate and handed it over.

"Oh, okay." Meihong responded, feeling that eating alone seemed to be missing something, and frowned, "By the way, boss lady, do you have any wine?"

"Wow, it's so late and you're still drinking!" Zuo Linqin raised his head from the pile of food when he heard Meihong's words.

"You've already eaten, so why can't I drink?" Meihong waved her hand, pushed Zuo Linqin back into the pile of food, and said, "Don't worry, alcohol doesn't hurt me. I'll just drink a little, and I won't get drunk."

"Bah, that's what drunkards always say. They always say they only drink a little!" Zuo Linqin said unconvincedly, "But they still got drunk in the end. I don't want to carry you back with you smelling of alcohol."

"You do have experience." Meihong said unhappily, "But you can't let me eat these things as snacks, what's the point of that?"

"Here you go." Zuo Linqin went straight to the mall and bought a wisdom potion. He placed a large bottle on the table and said proudly, "Bring your own wine, hehe~"

“???” Mystia.

Where did you get this thing?

"…Is this drinkable?" Meihong had gotten used to Zuo Linqin occasionally pulling out strange things that weren't found in Gensokyo. She looked at the strange green nutrient solution curiously and asked, "What does it taste like?"

"It's delicious. It tastes more like the drink we have in the outside world, Coke." Zuo Linqin smiled and pushed the potion in the direction of Meihong.

Ever since she drank two bottles at once, she never wanted to touch Coke again.

"I hope you don't lie to me." Meihong hesitated for a moment, asked for a cup from Mistia, and poured a glass of "bubbles."

"Green." Mistia also temporarily put down the work at hand, leaned on the counter, and looked at this new drink curiously.

"..." Meihong looked at it for a while, then poured the transparent green liquid into her mouth, frowning and saying, "Unexpectedly, it tastes pretty good... It tastes sour and a little sweet. After drinking it, my throat and tongue feel tingling, and I have an indescribable feeling."

"Well, it's a bit like beer." Meihong compared it with the drinks she had drunk.

"There is beer here?" Zuo Linqin asked puzzledly.

"It seems to be a recipe brought in from the outside world by a monster sage. The taste is different from sake. It tastes bitter and has a tingling feeling, but it's not easy to get drunk. I don't hate it." Meihong explained.

"Oh, by the way, remember to drink the whole bottle, otherwise it will be wasted." Zuo Linqin reminded that the effect of the potion will only be triggered after drinking it all.

"I don't think I can drink that much at one time." Meihong glanced at the medicine jar and made a pertinent conclusion.

"No, you have to drink it all!"

"Why are you looking at me with such a scary look?" Meihong frowned.

"This is all money!" Zuo Linqin said word by word very seriously.

"How much did it cost?" Meihong raised her eyebrows. How much could a bottle of drink cost? She didn't care at all.

"This number." Zuo Linqin stretched out three fingers.

"Three copper coins? Well, that's unlikely. Thirty?" Meihong guessed. Seeing Zuo Linqin shaking his head, she continued to guess, "Three hundred? That's a bit expensive."

"Don't guess, thirty thousand." Zuo Linqin said lightly.

"Chi?!" asked Mistia, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Puff?! Ouch!" Meihong, who had just taken a sip of medicine, almost spit it out when she heard this astonishing number. But when she thought about the amount of the medicine, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"Cough, cough, cough, what the hell!" Meihong swallowed too hastily and choked her trachea, but she obviously didn't care. She coughed a few times and asked Zuo Linqin, "This broken thing costs 30,000?"

"Well, although it's not the currency of this world, thirty thousand is indeed a bit expensive." Sarinko stroked his chin and said worriedly, "It would be better if it could be cheaper."

Chapter 45: Miss Ringo is not motivated

"Woo..."

This was the thirteenth time Zuo Linqin had played this morning. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless.

"Young people nowadays are really useless. They just didn't sleep for one night, but they look like this."

Seeing Zuo Linqin looking like he could fall asleep on the side of the road at any moment, Meihong shook her head helplessly and walked up to him and patted Zuo Linqin on the face.

"Hey, hey, cheer up, don't you have work in the morning?"

"Oh, but sleepiness is something that can't be overcome with willpower... Do you think everyone has unlimited energy like you, a Penglai person?"

Zuo Linqin yawned again, fell directly into Meihong's arms, and started counting his fingers.

"First I woke up in the middle of the night, then I went to have a midnight snack, and it turned out that you, Meihong, were chatting with the lady boss."

"Well, Mystia is indeed a good monster, which is rare, so we chatted a little more." Meihong scratched her cheek.

"It's not just a few words!" Zuo Linqin retorted dissatisfiedly, "It's okay to chat, but the proprietress also sang to liven up the atmosphere! You stinky thing, because you think that food and songs are not enough, you want to drink again! The proprietress was really straightforward, she just closed the store, and the two stupid birds sang on the hillside all night after getting drunk!"

"In the end, it was me who moved you two back home. Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so sleepy now?" Zuo Linqin rubbed against Meihong's arms and snorted.

"Uh, I don't remember much." Meihong sweated profusely and quickly changed the subject, "So are you going to stay and catch up on some sleep today?"

"Hehe, how is this possible? I've always been in full attendance mode~" Zuo Linqin stood up unsteadily and was about to walk towards the door.

"Is it really okay..." Meihong was a little worried about Zuo Linqin's current state where he could hardly tell east, west, and north, so she quickly caught up with Zuo Linqin.

"Forget it, just let me take you there. I'll cancel my work with the security team today."
