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

“…It’s really unreliable.” Meihong shook her head helplessly and walked into the Scarlet Devil Mansion according to the route she remembered.

Inside are two people, the witch and the maid, who are in a tense confrontation at the stairs.

The maid was covered in dust and the witch had many knife wounds on her body. The magician was obviously more seriously injured, but for some reason, she had the upper hand over the maid.

Let's turn the clock back a few minutes.

"The Ancient Witch's chance of winning is only zero."

"Wow, you actually said such a cool line, you really are a maid..." Marisa was teasing, but suddenly she felt a few stagnant cold rays in front of her. She blinked and the words in her mouth were choked.

“…?”

Ding ding ding ding! ! !

Dozens of silver throwing knives flew towards Marisa.

"Woo, wooooaaaaa?!" Marisa quickly rolled over and dodged the flying knife within a few inches.

The flying knife easily penetrated into the wall, making a crisp sound. If it had hit a person, it would have definitely pierced through the heart.

"This, isn't this extremely dangerous?!" Marisa wiped the cold sweat from her head. She was really lucky to be able to dodge this time. Such a large number of attacks were suddenly launched at such a close distance.

"Well, you are such a lucky guy, eh..." Sakuya stood not far from Marisa, throwing the knife up and down in her hand. "But next time..."

Sakuya aimed at Marisa's leg and threw a flying knife.

"No, don't attack me suddenly like this!" Marisa was still half-kneeling on the ground. Facing this sudden attack, she could only lunge forward.

"Okay, checkmate." Sakuya Izayoi suddenly appeared in front of Marisa, still holding a terrifying silver dagger in her hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey... stop kidding me?" Marisa looked at the flying knife in Sakuya's hand and smiled awkwardly. "How did you do that... teleporting here and there like this, isn't that a bit unfair?"

"I'm not kidding you, my guest." Izayoi Sakuya smiled with Marisa, "Your death is approaching~"

"Don't be polite at a time like this, you bastard!" Marisa pushed the broom handle in her hand towards Sakuya Izayoi and successfully forced Sakuya back.

Damn it, I was completely led by the opponent's pace! I must strike back quickly...

Take advantage of this little time to stand up...

"Do you think you can run away?" Sakuya had a playful smile on her face, like a cat playing with a mouse, and kept throwing the throwing knives in her hand towards Marisa.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Marisa used the broom in her hand to deflect the throwing knives with difficulty. "What? Where did you get so many throwing knives from?"

"Oh, there's everything under a maid's skirt."

"What a stupid statement! I can't stand it!" Marisa reached into her pocket and pulled out the Bagua stove.

“Don’t even think about it!” Sakuya seized the opportunity when Marisa was taking something out and threw several throwing knives at the same time.

The flying knife hit the Bagua furnace accurately. Marisa lost her strength and the Bagua furnace flew far away.

"Ah, my Bagua furnace!" Marisa's heart skipped a beat when she saw the props she used to turn the tables being knocked down.

"It's not over yet... I told you, this is the general!" Sakuya Izayoi appeared behind Marisa like a ghost, and stroked Marisa's shoulder with her small hand, making Marisa's scalp tingle.

"Ah——" Marisa had a bad premonition in her mind.

Sakuya lightly hooked Marisa's calf with her toes, causing Marisa to lose her balance. Then Sakuya stabbed Marisa's arm with the dagger in her hand!

“Ah…Ah!? It hurts!!” Marisa closed her eyes and screamed, “I can hold chopsticks and a spoon with my right hand!”

Ding—the dagger sank into the stone floor, but the pain did not reach Marisa.

“…Huh, huh? It doesn’t hurt?” Marisa secretly opened her eyes and saw that her right hand was still there, with a dagger stuck between her fingers.

I don’t know whether I should be glad that my right hand is still fine, or be upset that I lost.

Well, the loss was unclear.

"Someone else is coming." Sakuya Izayoi frowned slightly and looked up at the door.

"You..." Marisa looked at Sakuya Izayoi and suddenly spoke.

"...Oh, right." Sakuya Izayoi came back to her senses and looked at Marisa on the ground. "I'll kill as many as I can. Sorry."

"You're welcome, try this!" Marisa threw the mushroom she took out of her pocket to Sakuya.

"The world——"

Click, time stopped.

“…Want to fight back? Just with this?” In the gray and white world, Izayoi Sakuya looked at the mushroom that had already flown in front of her and shook her head with amusement.

"Let's knock him out first. There's a new villain here." In the space where time stopped, Sakuya Izayoi tapped her forehead in distress.

I don't know what Marisa's throwing of a mushroom means, but I'll just try to dodge it.

Izayoi Sakuya came behind Marisa.

"Then time begins to flow again."

She released the time stop with confidence of victory...but the result this time was beyond Sakuya Izayoi's expectations.

"Stardust Reverie! !"

Just like drawing a gun and shooting, Marisa quickly pulled out her little hand from the pocket of her apron and released a spell card towards the back!

Shining star magic bullets flew out of his hands and hit Sakuya Izayoi without reservation at close range!

"Wha, what?!"

Dong~~☆

Chapter 94: One-on-One

"Ha... I was just trying it, but I didn't expect it to actually work?" Marisa was also a little surprised.

"It's just luck?" Sakuya frowned, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and snorted coldly.

"Hehe, it might be just luck... but I seem to have some idea about your abilities." Marisa touched her nose and said confidently.

"It was just luck. There won't be a next time." Sakuya closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, her eyes turned a seductive red, which looked very strange.

"Wow, so scary! I feel like the aura has changed!" Marisa was startled. In the moment she was distracted, dozens of flying knives appeared in front of her. Marisa reacted quickly and rolled over to dodge.

But the flying knives kept appearing in her dodgy path, which made Marisa unable to cope with it.

"Woo, woowa! Even though I have some idea about her abilities, this is too much!" Marisa looked at Sakuya who appeared and disappeared like a ghost. Now that the Bagua furnace was lost, she was unable to make any effective counterattack!

"What? Are you wavering?" Sakuya suddenly appeared in front of Marisa, holding a throwing knife in her hand, and said with disdain, "Whether it's you or the new guy outside, as long as you are the enemy of the young lady, your ending will be the same!"

"What do you mean you understand me? What a joke. The only one who can understand me is my young lady... and you will die in my hands without understanding!" Sakuya took out an ancient pocket watch and gently pressed the key. "This is the end."

“The World!” With Sakuya’s shout, the world fell into a grayish-white atmosphere. “Time, stop.”

"..." Sakuya threw the flying knives in her hand at Marisa. The endless flying knives surrounded Marisa. Then she said softly, "...Then, time began to flow again."

Puff, there was the sound of countless blades entering the body. Under such an attack, there was no chance for Marisa to survive.

“It’s over…” Sakuya turned her head away and didn’t look at the scene where Marisa was pierced by thousands of blades. Perhaps it was disgust, perhaps it was pity, or perhaps it was something else.

"What are you talking about? It won't end like this!"

“How is this possible?” A powerful roar came from behind Sakuya, startling her. She turned around and saw a mushroom that was pierced by flying knives?

The shield-sized mushroom protected Marisa's vital points, allowing her to break out of the encirclement of flying knives!

"Don't underestimate the magician's means!" Marisa casually threw away the mushroom shield that had done a great job. After the mushroom left Marisa's hand, it quickly returned to its original size.

"There are as many throwing knives as you want. Do you think you can always be lucky?" Sakuya took out her pocket watch and wanted to stop time again.

"Don't even think about it!" Marisa rushed in front of Sakuya and kicked her out! She accurately kicked off Sakuya's pocket watch!

“…!!”

"That's it, it stopped my time." Marisa exhaled when she saw this. The chance was really only a moment. "I also thought it might be an ability like space travel... but it really is time. It's really a cheating ability. And that pocket watch is the tool you use to stop time, or is it a hint to activate the ability?"

"But it's fair now, since both of our tools have been lost." Marisa smiled and pointed at her Bagua stove that had fallen to the side.

“…Don’t think you have already won. Stop chattering there.” Sakuya pulled out a few daggers from under her skirt unhappily, staring at Marisa with her scarlet eyes. “Even if you can’t stop time, do you think you, as a magician, can beat me in close combat?!”

"How do you know if you don't try!" Marisa raised the broom in her hand and swung it like a stick, sticking close to Sakuya, and always able to block Sakuya's attacks at the critical moment.

"what!"

...

"Hello, hello."

"Marisa, Marisa, wake up, wake up, stop pretending to be dead."

"It's so noisy...it hurts!" Marisa turned over because of the noise in her ears, but she felt a sharp pain in her body and immediately jumped up from the ground reflexively.

"Hey, you finally woke up?"

"You are... Hey, Reimu? Why are you here..." Marisa shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

"This red fog looks like an anomaly no matter how you look at it. As a hardworking shrine maiden, of course I will take action myself." Reimu Hakurei said with dead eyes, without any emotion.

"Just try your best to make me laugh." Obviously, Marisa didn't take Reimu's words seriously, so she changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, where's the maid?!"

"Maid?" Reimu tilted her head and pointed at the blue and white figure lying on the ground next to her. "Her? She was already lying down before we came in."

I saw Sakuya Izayoi lying on the ground, with circles in her eyes and a big bump on her head like an anime character...that perfect and elegant feeling was completely gone.

"Ha... I'm so tired. Reimu, you don't know, this guy is really hard to deal with!" Marisa touched the back of her head with her hand and saw the bandages on her body. "Oh, Reimu, did you help me bandage it? Thank you~"

"No, I don't have the time. She did it." Reimu pointed at Meihong who was leaning against the wall next to her.

"Hello." Meihong waved to Marisa.

……

"Please sit anywhere." Patchouli said to Sarinko, "I haven't tidied it recently, so it's a mess."

"Ha...well, it's not that messy, right?" Sarinko said unwillingly as he looked at the books piled up in rows around him.

"Little devil, could you please bring us a cup of black tea?" Patchouli said to the bookshelf in the distance.

"Okay, okay! I'll be there right away!" A small red figure poked out from the bookshelf. It was Patchouli's familiar, the little devil.

Not long after, the little devil came towards the two of them, staggering with a teapot in his hand.

"This is Patchouli-sama's, and this is Ringo-sama's... Hey~!"

“Didn’t I tell you not to call me Lord Ringo…” Saringo couldn’t stand this kind of honorific title.

"Hey, that won't do. Lord Ringo is Patchouli's guest." The little devil said with a smile, with a cute blush on his face. "It's ready. Please use it first. Lord Ringo."

"This is too embarrassing..." Zorinko curled his head, picked up the black tea brewed by the little devil, and took a sip. "Although I don't understand black tea, this taste is indeed...Pfft!!"

A sour taste spread in Saringo's mouth, and Saringo couldn't help but spray the "black tea" in his mouth onto the ground.

"Hmm?" Patchouli tilted her head.

"This, this is vinegar, right?!" Zoringo widened his eyes, looked at the vinegar in his hand, and then looked at the little devil who was pretending to be stupid.

"Oh my, I turned black tea into vinegar again. The little devil is so careless~ Hey~" The little devil tapped his head lightly and stuck out his tongue.

"You guy..." Zoringo gritted his teeth, but he couldn't really do anything to the little devil.

"Well, he's a demon from hell after all, so playing pranks is common." Patchouli didn't mean to blame the little demon, after all, playing pranks is the racial nature of the little demon. "Make another cup of black tea, and don't play pranks this time."

"Hi~~"

Chapter 95: Two Groups

"Hi, this is Lord Lin Qin's black tea~" The little devil respectfully handed the teacup to Zuo Lin Qin.

“…Well, thank you.” Zuo Linqin looked at the teacup in his hand, leaned over to sniff it suspiciously, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"Puchichi~ Lord Lin Qin, you are too worried. No matter how naughty I am, I will never tease you twice~" The little devil saw Zuo Lin Qin's cautious expression and couldn't help laughing. He shook the teapot in his hand and said, "So drink it with confidence. This is my confident work!"

"Well, the little devil does have some talent in making tea." Patchouli said after taking a sip of black tea, as if she was praising her own child.

"Hehehe, it's not as good as Patchouli-sama said~" The little devil smiled foolishly and touched his head, "It's only the third level in the demon world, hehehehe~"

"Um, Patchouli-san..." Zuo Linqin put the cup to his lips, twitched his lips and said, "This guy...has he always been like this...?"
