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

“You know what?” Remlia kept pushing hard against the goblet, which creaked as it could not bear the weight. “I am heartbroken right now… and right now, this grief is turning into murderous intent.”

“…” Sakuya didn’t know how to respond, so she smiled in a standard way. “Your will, young lady.”

Chapter 71: Remi's plan failed

The staple food is steak, which is made from large thick slices of lean beef and fried.

The steak is thickened with marinade and sprinkled with carrots and onions for decoration and seasoning.

Zorin cut open a part of the steak with his table knife, and the inside of the steak was mainly light gray-brown with some pink.

It was chewy yet soft. Zuo Linqin took some effort to bite off a part of it with his canine teeth, then stroked his face with a happy expression.

"Delicious…"

"This is the fifth time you've said this." Meihong said calmly without even raising her head. She had lived for a long time, so she had long since become indifferent to things like eating, so naturally she had no expression on her face.

"And there's pudding for dessert."

Sakuya came over and placed a plate of caramel pudding in front of Zuolin.

"Woooooooooooh!" Little stars twinkled in Zuo Linqin's eyes.

...

"I'm full, I'm full..." Although the quantity of each serving was not much, Zuo Linqin's appetite was not very big after she turned into this body. The piled up servings were enough to feed her.

Zuo Lin touched his still flat belly and licked his lips as if savoring the taste.

"How exaggerated! What kind of life did you lead before?" Remlia didn't touch the food on the plate much. She just poked it with the fork from time to time. She had a small appetite, and vampires couldn't absorb any nutrients from eating these things. They could only satisfy their appetite.

"I usually live a very ordinary poor life." Zuo Linqin said with narrowed eyes. The money that could have been used to improve the food was all used to spend on krypton gold to draw cards and upgrade intelligence, and he basically had no savings left.

"Oh, the life of the poor." Remlia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and pushed her untouched steak forward. "How about I give you my portion too?"

"That's not necessary. It will make you fat." Zuo Linqin wiped the oil stains on his face. "Everything should be done in moderation."

"Tsk, you actually dare to refuse my kindness." Remlia curled her lips and didn't care much. She just said it casually.

"Have you finished eating?" Meihong, who was sitting next to him, opened her eyes, patted Zuo Linqin on the shoulder and said, "Say hello to them. We should leave now. It's getting dark."

"Why do I feel like you are like my mother..." Zuo Linqin pouted and turned to look at Remlia. "Then we'll go. We'll get the first sum of money together next month. Bye."

"Go away now, don't forget your promise. Sakuya, show me out." Remlia looked at Zorin Qin proudly, but the little thoughts in her mind did not stop.

How can I let you run away! If that happens, all the surprises I prepared will be in vain!

"Ms. Lin Qin, Ms. Fujiwara, this way please."

Remlia was secretly annoyed and kicked Patchouli, who was twirling a tuft of her hair and thinking about something.

"?" Patchouli was awakened from her thoughts by Remlia and raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"They are about to leave, stop them quickly." Remlia had a silent conversation with Patchouli using her lips.

"..." Patchouli shrugged and rolled her eyes at Remlia.

Although she understood what Remlia meant, Patchouli really didn't want to care about the trivial matter of whether Remlia could regain her dignity from Zorin.

Seeing that Patchouli didn't react, Remlia became a little anxious. You said you would help me!

"Hurry up, Patchy! They are both about to go out!" Remlia kicked Patchouli's calf with her toes again.

Patchouli was harassed and had no choice but to speak helplessly.

"…Ms. Lin Qin, you haven't learned the alchemy yet."

"Ah, alchemy?" Zuo Linqin stopped in his tracks and tilted his head in a daze. "Oh, right, I haven't finished learning alchemy yet!"

"Hmm?" Meihong also stopped walking. "Is there anything else that has not been completed?"

"Yeah, that's the alchemy that Patchouli was teaching me before!"

"How long will it take?" Meihong seemed to be asking Zuo Linqin, but she turned around and looked at Patchouli.

"Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished quickly. It will take at least five or six hours." Patchouli looked directly into Meihong's eyes. "In that case, Miss Lin Qin may have to stay overnight."

"Is that so?" Meihong nodded to Patchouli and said, "Then why don't you come visit tomorrow? It's not too late now."

"Hey, Patch is very busy, she won't be available every day to teach you!" Seeing that Meihong was still about to leave, Remlia hurriedly said, "Only today, no more waiting!"

"..." Meihong felt something was wrong and declined again, "There are more ways to make money than just alchemy. It seems we have to find a way ourselves. Goodbye."

"You don't have to listen to Remi." Patchouli said, "Lin Qin, you can come again tomorrow. It's our agreement to teach you alchemy. I won't go back on my word."

"Patch?!"

"Hmm, hm?" Zuo Linqin looked at Remlia and then at Meihong, and finally waved to Patchouli. "Then...see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow, good night." Patchouli nodded as a greeting.

Then, under the leadership of Sakuya, Zuo Linqin held Meihong's hand and walked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

After Zorin was captured, Remlia was about to overturn the table and snatched the magic book that Patchouli used to cover her face, and stood face to face with her, saying unhappily.

“Why don’t you help me? Why why why why don’t you help me!” Remlia puffed up her cheeks, her delicate face full of unhappiness. “Those two people humiliated me like that, I must at least tease them back! Otherwise, who in the Scarlet Devil Mansion will obey me, Remlia? Where will the dignity of the Scarlet family be?”

"If you don't explain the reason today, don't even think about reading the book anymore!"

"..." Patchouli looked at Remlia with caring eyes and said softly, "...as long as you are happy."

"I'm not happy!" Remlia was annoyed by Patchouli's coaxing tone, and reached out to pull Patchouli's face, "I'm very unhappy!"

“Ha…” Patchouli slapped Remlia’s claws away and said helplessly, “You’re already 500 years old, but you’re still living like a child, refusing to suffer any loss.”

“…Gu.” Remlia jumped off the table in anger, stamped her feet and said, “They were the ones who attacked me first, do I have to smile and stretch my face over to them?!”

"...Ha, that's not what I meant." Patchouli analyzed for Remi, "They are potential allies. They are already under our control, so it's not a big deal if they suffer a little loss."

"Look at that Fujiwara no Moeko. This girl who suddenly appeared can fight you on equal terms... and I'm afraid she is not the top fighter in the entire Gensokyo." Patchouli said expressionlessly, "You better stop looking down on others."

"I'm not looking down on you! I just haven't used my full strength yet!" Remlia said stubbornly, "I can beat five guys with the fighting power of that turkey... No, I can beat ten!"

"..." Patchouli just kept looking at her with a caring look, which made Remi feel more and more guilty.

"Well, maybe I can only beat three... Yeah, at least I can beat two..."

"In short, we need to recruit those two people as helpers." Patchouli took back the stolen magic book from Remi, stood up from her seat and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes. "Then we need to investigate the combat effectiveness of Hakurei Miko, the apparent guardian of Gensokyo."

"Patch, you are just too cautious." Although Remlia did not like Patchouli's cautious tactics, she had to admit that giving advice was not her strong point.

If she were asked to come up with the plan...she would probably have headed straight for the Hakurei Shrine on the first day of arriving in Gensokyo, and she might even think she had a great advantage!

Patchouli paused and continued.

"Fantasy Township is not as fragile as we thought. The possibility of failure in occupying the entire Gensokyo is too high. In the end, I am afraid we will have to blend into it... and we must also be prepared for the worst."

“…I understand.” Remlia nodded.

Worst-case scenario…

She, Remlia, would never let this happen.

Chapter 72: Rest Time

Sakuya simply sent the two people to the door, said hello to Hong Meiling, and then went back into the building.

Now that it is night, the monsters have begun to come out to look for food, and no one will hang around the Misty Lake.

"…Meihong, don't you have anything to say?"

"What do you want me to say?" Mei stared at the road ahead with red eyes and responded casually to Sarinko's words, "Anyway, there are so many things I can't figure out, so let's just stop thinking about it."

"Hmm." Zuo Linqin nodded. "I didn't mean to drag you into this. I would feel better if you scolded me."

"When we were in that place before, you acted as if it was nothing serious. Why are you talking about such trivial things now that you are out?" Meihong rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, I don't take it seriously at all."

"As for the money, pay it back if you can." Meihong stopped and suddenly approached Sarinko, swiping her neck with her thumb. "If you are tired of paying it back, then just take over the debtor... Then you won't owe any debt..."

"Wow, why did you suddenly say something so horrifying!" Sarinko took a step back. At that moment, the murderous intent revealed in Meihong's eyes was real!

"This is just a last resort. I'm just kidding." Meihong smiled and patted Sarinko's shoulder. "After all, this is not the war-torn era anymore. Gensokyo is not a bad place to live in. Besides, if Huiyin knew about this, she would definitely lecture me... huh?"

“That’s right, Huiyin…” Sarinko shuddered. “If she hears about demolishing someone else’s house… that’ll be the end, right?”

"Well, anyway, this matter is known to heaven and earth, you and me... Huiyin doesn't know the vampire, so she will definitely not find out about it." Meihong said with a fluke mentality, "Look at the vampire's arrogant look, I'm sure he won't tell others about such a shameful thing."

"It would be great if it could be like this." Sarinko laughed bitterly. "I feel like I have already filled all the necessary FLAGs... Who knows, one day the fact that I owe tens of millions of dollars in debt may be exposed..."

"Then we'll just have to face it with a smile." Meihong smiled brightly. "Actually, it was Sarinko who accidentally blew up the other party's house. I just had to rescue her as a guardian!"

"..." Sarinko puffed up her cheeks. "That's too much... although what you said is true."

"Hey, you didn't argue with me this time?" Meihong looked at Sarinko in surprise and poked her cheek with her finger. "Have you changed your personality?"

"Everyone has their own share of responsibility. This incident was originally caused by me." Sarinko quickened his pace and walked in front of Meihong. "I don't want to involve Meihong! Anyway, let's leave it at that!"

"Hey, you're not serious, are you? I'm just talking." Meihong followed Saringo's footsteps, waving her arms and explaining, "Don't be silent, are you? Apple? Ringo? Silly roe deer?"

"..." Sarinko didn't even look at Meihong and continued walking forward.

"Childish..."

"You said something you shouldn't have said!" Sarinko shuddered, turned around and bared his teeth at Meihong, "It's obviously a very adult thing to take responsibility for your own mistakes! I am also responsible, don't treat me like a child all day long!"

"What are you talking about? Even a hundred-year-old grandfather with a white beard is just a child in my eyes. I am hundreds of times older than you~" Seeing that Sarinko finally reacted, Meihong made a face and said with a sly smile, "Little brat, you are still wet behind the ears~"

"Woo...Woo!" Sarinko stretched out his fist and hit Meihong, but this direct attack was directly blocked by Meihong with her clever strength, and she almost fell to the ground.

"See, you just started to make a scene when you couldn't win the argument, and you still say you're not a child." Meihong pulled Sarinko's arm and helped her straighten her body. "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

"It's not a child..." Sarinko muttered, raised his head and asked Meihong, "Where are you going?"

"Hmm... where is it?"

...

"We're here, we're here." Meihong and Saringo stood together in front of an old store full of the atmosphere of the times. From time to time, people came in and out carrying washbasins and clothes, bringing up a cloud of hot air.

“When you have troubles, come here.”

"Oyu...Isn't this a public bath? Why did you bring me to this place?" Sarinko turned around and wanted to leave, but his arm was grabbed by Meihong and held tightly.

"...Let go..." Sarinko increased the strength of his hands, half-closed his eyes and looked at Meihong, "There is a bathroom in Terakoya, right? I don't want to take a bath with others."

"How would you know if you haven't tried it? Taking a bath is very comfortable. It can relax your mind and enhance your relationships with everyone...!" Meihong pulled Sarinko's arm, but her body was constantly pulled away by Sarinko's brute force, and veins began to appear on her arms.

"No!" Sarinko refused without hesitation, "I don't have the habit of exposing my body to others!"

“…You’re actually worried about something like this, so I said you were a child.”

"ah!?"

Meihong suddenly let go of Sarinko's hand, and inertia caused Sarinko to fall to the ground.

"Don't let go of my hand suddenly!"

"Sorry, sorry." Meihong pulled Sarinko up from the ground without any apology. "But if I may be frank, even a toddler wouldn't be as timid as you are now."

"Humph, you're trying to provoke me? I won't be fooled." Sarinko brushed the dust off her knees and frowned slightly, "So why did you insist on dragging me into the bath?"

"Just look at what we look like." Meihong pointed at Sarinko's clothes.

“…I can say that I rolled down the mountain.” There are already quite a few cuts, and I don’t know when they were made.

"What about me?" Meihong pointed at her maid outfit which was full of holes. "This outfit doesn't look right at all."

"It's none of my business. You solve it yourself." Sarinko waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"It seems that I've been too good to you, and you don't know your own position." Meihong sighed, "It seems that I have to use some tough measures..."

"Oh? You want to compete in strength? Even though I'm a magician, I'm very confident in my strength!" Sarinko said confidently.

"I'm sorry, but fighting doesn't just rely on strength." Meihong took a stance and easily used a joint technique to shrink Zorinko. "You're still far from it, Master Magician."

"Can't get free?!"

"Let me show you mankind's nearly thousand-year-old martial arts culture!" Meihong grinned evilly, tied up Sarinko's hands with one hand, and reached out the other hand to Sarinko's waist and began to tickle him.

"Don't use it on such a boring place! Wait, don't scratch that place, I'll do it!"

After being untied by Meihong, Sarinko rubbed his joints and complained.

"Your idea is really weird."
