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

Autumn is a season with abundant food. When certain conditions are met, the hairy crickets will begin to reproduce in large numbers and become aggressive, posing a great threat to humans who often go out.

The village would issue missions from time to time, asking those who were capable to go and fight.

Of course, the reward will not be much. One Maoyu can be exchanged for one copper coin. As long as you bring the core part of the Maoyu, you can get the reward.

“Not much?! How can you say that’s not much!” The symbol of money flashed in Sarinko’s eyes, and he licked his lips. “One is one, two is two, and three is... hehehe..."

“Ahahahahaha! Evil Mao Yu, let me show you the greatest power in the world, the power of the pitch-black evil ring!” Zoringo covered his left eye, his soft body leaned back, and he let out a charming laugh. “My power is the origin of collapse, a collapse that no one can match! Burn everything in the world to ashes, and descend from the abyss!”

Chapter 4: The Second-year Mage

"A mere Mao Yu can't dodge this fireball that carries such great power!" Sarinko, who was wearing a Chinese student uniform, spread out his five fingers, and a slow fireball shot out from his palm!

Jump~ It seemed that Mao Yu didn't notice the fireball at all. He just jumped lightly and dodged the fireball.

"Ahahahaha! Stupid Mao Yu, my pitch-black evil magic ring has already predicted your actions! Watch out, I'm weaving a dark web!" Although the fireball didn't hit the target, Zoringo still had an expression of 'everything is under control'. He took out a special insect catching net from his back and captured Mao Yu.

"You're really worthy of being me. A mere Mao Yu is no problem at all!" Looking at the Mao Yu turning into a thorny ball in the net, Sarinko was glad that he bought a net instead of trying to catch it with his hands.

By the way, this insect net cost five copper coins, and it is also the last property of Saringo... If he can't kill more Mao Yu, let alone buy equipment and find a place to live, he is afraid that he will have no dinner tonight.

"Hmph, evil Mao Yu, for the sake of my dark evil ring, which is darker than black and darker than darkness, you must sacrifice your tiny life." Zoringo found a sharp stone on the ground, with a mysterious blush on his face. After a bit of second-year thinking, he smashed the center of the Mao Yu hard. "Watch out! Meteor Jutsu (Physical)!"

Bang...Under Saringo's strength of 27 points, Mao Yu was smashed into a pancake in an instant.

Then the fluff on Mao Yu's body fell off like a dandelion, revealing a round ball like a meatball. It is said that this thing is very delicious and is a unique delicacy in Gensokyo.

"I want to try it, too." Sarinko pointed at his lips with his index finger. But after such a big Mao Yu dissipated, there was only this much meat left...

"Bah, what are you thinking? I have to hand these things in eventually!" As Zuo Lingqin thought about it, he actually felt a little hungry. "Hold on! It's not even noon yet!"

"Chirp~"

"It seems that the sound is different from before. Is it because you are too hungry?" Sarinko touched his stomach and raised his eyebrows.

"Chirp~chirp~"

"No, that's not right. This sound is not coming from my body..." Sarinko twitched his lips. It wasn't coming from his body, and there was no living creature in front of him. So what on earth was that thing so close to his back?

“Of course it’s a Mao Yu!” Zoringo grinned, and used his insect net to cover the source of the sound. It was indeed a white Mao Yu. The little guy seemed to have not figured out the situation and was trapped in the net by Zoringo. “Okay, take another meteorite (physical) from me!”

"Chirp~"

"Hmm? Give up. You can't run away if I catch you."

"Chirp~Chirp..." The sound became louder and louder, as if it was coming from all directions.

"..." There was a hint of doubt on Sarinko's cute face. "This sound should be Mao Yu, but this number...?"

“…Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!!!” It was clearly just Mao Yu’s ordinary cry, but to Sarinko’s ears, he seemed to hear a sense of anger.

The next moment when Sarinko was thinking about whether to run away quickly, the Mao Yu came out from various places!

In tree holes, in grass, under rocks...as long as there is space for their bodies, there will be one hairy dolphin after another popping out.

"No, it's just this amount!" Sarinko's voice was trembling, and the scene in front of him seemed to have turned into a white ocean.

Maoyu are social animals, and this is the breeding season for Maoyu, so it is not surprising that there are so many Maoyu...

With so many Mao Yu, just rushing over without using demonic bullets and needles would be enough to crush Zorinko to death.

"I, my mana base is not enough to use Flamestorm. Even if I am determined to buy a blue bottle to replenish my mana, it will be useless!" The Maoyu was still some distance away from Zoringo. Zoringo had already started to retreat step by step. Although he would step on a Maoyu from time to time, "Besides, a Flamestorm can't burn them all..."

Just pretend to be dead... No no no no no, Mao Yu is an omnivore, and I guess he won't feel much psychological pressure eating the corpse of a little girl...

What should I do? What should I do… This, this can definitely be called a life-or-death crisis!

"I'm going to die again less than two days after arriving in the other world!" Sarinko covered his face and began to sneer, "I will never admit to such a thing... and it will never happen!"

"Hesitation and hesitation will constantly nourish fear, but action is indeed the best medicine to cure fear!" Sarinko stared at the fur balls, using the insect net as a walking stick to hit back the fur balls that pounced on him one by one (physics) "A Greek philosopher once said, 'The greatness of mankind is nothing more than calmness in the face of fear and despair.' I understand everything..."

"The little girl in front, lower your head!" Just as Sarinko was preparing to explode, a loud shout suddenly came from behind.

"Eh, eh?!" The momentum that Sarinko had accumulated was interrupted and immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Get down right now!" The person who came was a bad girl wearing red overalls? Her whole body was burning with flames, and a pair of huge wings made of flames hung behind her back.

"Immortal "Firebird - Phoenix Wings Flying in the Sky -"! ! "The huge flaming wings flapped vigorously, and the blazing flames separated from the flaming wings with this thrust, almost falling on Sarinko's head which had just lowered, almost passing by.

Boom! The raging flames exploded after hitting the group of Mao Yu, and countless Mao Yu were reduced to ashes under this blow.

Looking at such a powerful force, Zuo Lingqin suddenly felt... What a waste...

Each Mao Yu is worth a copper coin, right? You have to bring the core with you to get the money, but it was burned without leaving anything... Sarinko looked at the bad girl approaching her and complained in her heart.

This woman definitely can’t support a family… (dead fish eyes

Although her magic is really cool, it is totally different from the low-level fireball magic!

"Hey, are you okay?" Fujiwara Mohong closed one eye and put her hand in her belt. "Even girls of this age are leaving the village to do this kind of work?"

"Aren't you a little girl yourself?"

"What?" Fujiwara no Momoko raised her eyebrows and looked at Sarinko in confusion.

At this time, Sarinko also noticed the appearance of Fujiwara no Mokou, a pair of crimson drooping eyes, a delicate face with a hint of badness, long snow-white hair down to the heels, tied with many bows, and an especially large bow behind her head. In short, so many strange combinations, on the contrary, formed Fujiwara no Mokou's stern and handsome temperament.

"Nothing." Zuo Lingqin patted the embers on his body, climbed up from the ground, and covered his left eye with his hand. "Thank you for your help! But even without you, under the power of my dark evil ring (physical), I will kill these Mao Yu in an instant!"

"...stare." Fujiwara no Momoko scratched her head, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, saying speechlessly, "That's a waste of effort on my part, but human girls should not stay in the wild, or they will be captured by monsters."

"You, what's that tone of yours? Do you think I'm a child?" Sarinko immediately noticed the weirdness in Fujiwara Mokou's tone. "My magic is invincible, which means that monsters will never be my opponents! Although the current level is a bit low..."

"Lv...? Level? I often see this word from that bitch Kaguya." Fujiwara no Mokou became interested in Sarinko and teased, "A fledgling magician from the outside world? That's a rare combination. Hey, why don't you show me your dark and evil power?"

"Unreasonable people are the power of the dark evil ring!" Sarinko hugged his chest, stretched out his index finger, and made a mimicking sound. "But there is really no other way. Since you are asking me to do this, I will accept it with reluctance."

"Hey."

...

"Just open your eyes and watch." Said a cool line, and began to recite the spell...

however…

What should I do? What should I do?! I was just pretending out of habit, but he actually took me seriously! Is he going to cast that fireball again?

At this moment, Sarinko's mind was very noisy.

No, no, no! If I use that kind of fireball, people will definitely laugh at me! Isn’t there any way to do it without paying any price and without losing face…

"Hey, are you not done yet? You've been reading the message for a long time." Next to her, Fujiwara Momo rolled her eyes.

"Huh, you're so impatient. But I can't blame you... after all, you're just a human with fish lips." Zoringo raised the corners of his mouth and replied, "Ah~~~ You interrupted me just now, I have to start casting the spell again~!"

“…I’m not human.” Fujiwara Mohong scratched her silver hair and shook her head, “Little brat, stop pretending. You’re really wasting my time.”

"Wait, I really am a magician! Don't disbelieve me!" Fujiwara Mohong walked towards Sarinko and held her under her armpit. "Wait, wait, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Of course I'll take you back to the village, little brat." Fujiwara no Moeko slapped Sarinko's little butt lightly, and a cloud of mist came out of her mouth. "You actually dared to lie to your lady Fujiwara no Moeko, you're really brave."

Boom————A pink mushroom cloud floated above Sarinko's head, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"You, what are you doing! I really am a magician! Eh, eh?!"

"Oh my, it's very sensitive. The sound is really nice."

Snapped--

"Ah, I feel dizzy."

It was just two slaps. You are too shy, right? Fujiwara Mohong smiled, spit out the cigarette butt in her mouth, and stomped it out.

"Hmm~~! Ah... I need to stay outside for a while, or else Huiyin will smell it and scold me again."

I don't know how this shy kid could say so many embarrassing things...

Fujiwara no Mokou looked up at the sky and curled the corners of her mouth.

Chapter 5 LEVEL UP!

"Ugh... cough cough cough, such a strong smell of cigarettes!" As soon as Zuo Linqin opened his eyes, he was choked by the smell and found himself still stuck in the air. "How dare you do this to me! Put me down, you rude woman! I will curse you... ah?!"

Bang——Sarinko was thrown to the ground without any warning, landing on his face.

"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped." Fujiwara no Mokou looked up at the sky, as if what she had just done had nothing to do with her.

"You, you guy... wuuuu..." Tears welled up in the corners of Zorinko's eyes. He covered his red nose, feeling like something was about to come out. "I'm really angry!"

"So what if you're angry?" Fujiwara no Momoko sneered disdainfully. This guy has a really bad character.

“…I, I will kill you!!” Sarinko struggled to get up from the ground with a blushing face, roared incoherently, and punched Fujiwara Mokou.

Unfortunately, it seemed that he used too much force and just as he got up he stepped on a small stone on the ground again. His foot slipped and he was about to fall on his face again.

Bang...Sarinko fell to the ground again and didn't get up for a long time.

"Hey, dead?"

"No, just let me be alone..." Saying this, with his face pressed to the ground, Saline said with a look of despair.

Then, Fujiwara no Momoko once again clamped her under the waist with one hand.

"You, you bastard!" Saringo stared at Fujiwara Mokou with his eyes wide open, tears already flashing in his eyes. If Fujiwara Mokou had a system, she would probably be able to see the [Favorability -1] sign popping up above Saringo's head from time to time.

"That's enough." Ignoring Sarinko's loud protest of "Who is making trouble?", Fujiwara no Mokou strode towards the direction of the human village. "Little brat, what's your name? Why are you looking for trouble with Mao Yu instead of staying at home?"

Although he didn't want to answer Fujiwara Mokou's words, Sarinko's body moved instinctively. He spread out his five fingers, covered his left eye, and put his other hand on his waist.

"I am Ashcroft, the great Lord of the Dark Ring of Evil!"

"Never heard of it." Fujiwara no Momo narrowed her eyes and slapped Sarinko's elastic butt.

"Eeh, eh!"

"And what about Ashcroft? You can tell it's a pseudonym at first glance." Fujiwara no Mohong snorted with pleasure. "I've never seen a more exaggerated name than this in Gensokyo. Hey, kid, what's your name?"

Fujiwara no Mei raised her red hand and quickly moved her face close to Sarinko's.

"It's too close!" Sarinko's face turned as red as an apple again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so shy." Fujiwara no Mei teased with her red lips, but she still lowered her hand.

“…It’s common sense to tell your own name before asking someone else’s name…” After a moment of silence, Sarinko spoke.

"Ah, my name is Fujiwara no Mokou, the captain of the Human Village Guard." Fujiwara no Mokou was amused by the girl's unwillingness to admit defeat. "Now it's your turn."

“…Sa, Saringo…” The voice was as small as a mosquito.

"Ah? I'm going to slap you if you do that." Fujiwara no Meru raised her hand pretentiously.

"My name is Sarinko!" Sarinko blushed and shouted out the shameful name given by his parents.

"Ringo? Apple... Well, your parents are very good at naming." Fujiwara no Momoru chuckled, looking at Saringo's face which was as red as an apple, and felt that the name was inexplicably appropriate for the occasion.

"But, damn it..." Sarinko couldn't help but began to struggle, "Let me go, let me go quickly! Don't touch me!"

"Hey, don't move!" Fujiwara Mohong smacked her lips and said, "Why are you so persistent? With your mediocre skills, you can't even beat Mao Yu."

"..." Sarinko covered his left eye with his left hand again and sneered, "How can a foolish mortal understand the thoughts of the Dark Evil Ring... Guaaa!"

Fujiwara no Moeko hit Sarinko on the head with a knife and said, "Speak human language."

“…Money, money! We have no money!” Sarinko covered her head to prevent Fujiwara Mokou from suddenly attacking her. “If we continue to be penniless, we will have to live a wandering life with no food to eat, no bed to sleep on, and no shelter. I, I, I, I don’t want that!”

"Ah, you just said it out loud." Fujiwara no Mokou looked at Sarinko helplessly. "Why didn't you just explain it like this from the beginning? Why did you have to speak in that stupid tone? Really..."

"It's obviously a very cool line, but Fuji!" Sarinko retorted "Hey... why are you walking back?"

"Of course, it's to help a kid earn some pocket money to survive." Fujiwara Mohong didn't look back, and said calmly, "I'll help you hold the line, don't be careless."

“…My impression of you has changed a little bit!” Although it was just a normal action, Saringo was impressed by Fujiwara Momoko’s words.

"Heh." Fujiwara no Mokou just smiled.

"Thank you..." Sarinko bowed her head and thanked in a very low voice...

Maybe you can hear the notification sound of adding favor?

...

"The power of fire is gathered in my hands. Let the flames fly! The ultimate fireball technique!"

“Hahahaha!! You, that’s called Fireball Technique, haha, it’s really, really unbearable… haha…”
