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

"Well, she's quite obedient, even though she's a bit of a fool." Patchouli smiled and said, "You should get along well with her. I think you two should have a lot in common."

"Why do I feel that what you said is weird?" Zuo Linqin tilted his head in confusion.

"That's just your illusion." Patchouli patted Zuo Linqin's shoulder, stood up from her seat, walked into the numerous bookcases, and soon brought back several thick books.

"What are these?" Zuo Linqin looked at Patchouli's actions in confusion and asked.

"Some basic theories of magic, I think they should be able to help you." Patchouli said calmly, slapping the magic book in front of Zuo Linqin. "If it's not enough, tell me."

"I feel like I can't finish reading it even if I stay here for a whole day... Well, thank you. I'll start reading then." Zuo Linqin picked up a magic textbook at random.

"Ah."

"..." Zuo Linqin saw Patchouli also started reading, so he opened the book in his hand and began to scan it at a glance...

After a while, his face darkened and he slammed the magic book in his hand shut.

(…What? I don’t understand!)

I secretly glanced at Patchouli who was immersed in a book. It seemed that the loud noise just now did not attract her attention...

Thinking of this, I watched Patchouli slowly shift her attention from the book to Sarinko's face.

"..."

"You should take good care of the book." Patchouli narrowed her eyes and stared at Saringo, causing Saringo to feel great psychological pressure...

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Sarinko lowered his head slightly embarrassedly.

"Well, is there something you don't understand? Tell me." Patchouli pushed up her purple glasses. "I'll teach you, so don't be nervous."

“…Really, is it really possible?!” Sarinko couldn’t help but raise his voice and stood up from his seat.

"No noise is allowed in the library~" The little devil suddenly stretched his head over and pressed it against Zorinko's cheek.

"Wow, don't come close to me suddenly!" Sarinko moved aside in disgust, but the little devil became more and more aggressive and got closer and closer.

"Little devil, stop." Patchouli sighed helplessly and waved to the little devil.

"But, Lady Patchouli, I'm so bored!" The little devil jumped to Patchouli's side like a happy puppy and rubbed his head against Patchouli's palm.

"Then you can come and sit in on the class, even though it may not be of any practical significance to you." Patchouli shook her head and looked at Saringo. "Ringo, what don't you know?"

"..."

No, I'm sorry to say that I don't know how to do it!!

After being stared at by Patchouli for a long time, Zoringo finally lowered his head in frustration.

"I'm sorry, Patchouli-san... I don't seem to know anything..."

"…Uh, okay, that's all right?"

Although he didn't look up at Patchouli's expression, Sarinko felt as if that piercing gaze was going to pierce him.

"Hmm..." Sarinko uttered a slight nasal sound.

Rub, rub, rub... Feeling the gentle touch on his head, Sarinko looked at Patchouli in confusion.

“Oh, sorry.” Patchouli laughed insincerely. “Ringo, you look like you’ve done something wrong, just like a little devil. I can’t help but…”

"What is it, Patchouli-sama? Isn't the little devil right beside you?" The little devil puffed up his cheeks unhappily, grabbed Patchouli's hand, and put it on his head, "I want to touch it too~!"

"Okay, okay." Patchouli shook her head helplessly, and her tender white hands touched the little devil's head.

Then he turned to Sarinko and said, "Everyone has things they are not good at, so there is no need to take it too seriously. Just tell me, and I will of course help you."

“…I can’t understand anything at all, isn’t it embarrassing…” Sarinko pouted, spinning her index fingers. “After all, I am a magician… I have read some magic books, but I am stumped by such basic textbooks…”

"Okay, stop being awkward." Patchouli patted Zoringo's head in amusement. "I'm starting to talk, so listen carefully."

She did not take back the magic book from Sarinko... because she had already memorized the textbook by heart.

...

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, Reimu, please be gentler! I'm a wounded soldier now!" Marisa grinned. She didn't feel anything during the battle, but now she felt like her body was covered with holes made by the knives.

"Ah, then I'll let you go." Reimu Hakurei rolled her eyes and looked like she was going to let go.

"Wait wait, Lady Reimu, I was wrong! Please don't let go! I can't even stand now!" Marisa felt something was wrong and immediately admitted her mistake.

"It's really troublesome to take care of you. Why don't you just go home by yourself?" Hakurei Reimu said disdainfully, "Looking at your current state, you can't continue to fight, right?"

"Hmph, are you kidding me? I'm in good health. This little injury... ah, it hurts! Reimu, please stop pinching my wound!" Marisa howled in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph." Reimu stopped what she was doing.

"I'm more concerned about where we should go next." Meihong, who was leaning against the wall, finally spoke and pointed to two roads.

One is a staircase leading upstairs, and the other is a corridor leading to nowhere.

"This guy needs someone to take care of him now. We have to split up into two groups, Miss Lingmeng." Meihong waved her hand.

"Wait, why do you want me to take care of Marisa? It's such a hassle." Miss Reimu looked at Marisa with disdain, as if she was looking at some non-burnable garbage.

"Hey, that look is too much, really too much!" Marisa couldn't help but complain.

"Well, since you two know each other, I'll choose this way to go upstairs." Meihong pointed to the stairs.

"…Well, although I think the mastermind should be related to the path you chose…" Miss Reimu thought for a moment, "Forget it, if you encounter the mastermind, remember to help me defeat him, understand."

"No problem, no problem." Meihong turned around and waved her hand gently.

"…Then let's go this way. Move Marisa!"

"Is this how you treat the wounded?!"

Chapter 96 Touch

"If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be some kind of illusion here." Reimu, who was originally wandering in the corridor, suddenly stopped and said coldly.

"Hey, Reimu, how did you know that?" Marisa asked, "Isn't it normal for such a large mansion to have such a long corridor?"

"Stupid, of course I rely on my intuition." Hakurei Reimu pointed to her head. "Women's sixth sense is very sensitive."

"Then why don't I have this intuition?" Marisa complained, watching Hakurei Reimu groping around on the walls. "What are you doing now, Reimu?"

"Find some of this, find some of that." Reimu Hakurei replied coldly to Marisa, and one of her hands was suddenly sucked into the wall.

"Reimu Reimu your hand!"

"I know, don't make a fuss." Hakurei Reimu frowned, her hand dug deeper into the wall, then she raised her lips and said, "Found it."

"What did you find?" Marisa said cooperatively.

"Well, something like the center of the formation, right?" Reimu stretched out her hand from the phantom wall, holding a plain little stone in her hand. "Look."

The surrounding environment also changed rapidly after Reimu took out the small stone, returning to its original state.

"Oh, that's great... Uh, but why do I feel like there are more routes?" Marisa clapped her hands in a pretentious manner and said, "Reimu, did your intuition tell me where to go?"

"How should I know? Just go." Reimu hit Marisa on the head with her finger.

"Ah! I said I was the injured one, right?" Marisa almost cried after being hit by this finger.

"One more thing, don't question my behavior!" Reimu snorted and walked towards a road without looking back.

"Uh...what a bad temper." Marisa complained, touched her head, and followed Reimu obediently.

...

"..." Patchouli, who was explaining the magic textbook to Zuo Linqin, suddenly raised her head.

"Ha, you are such an idiot. You can't even understand this kind of textbook that even elementary school devils don't read~ I, the little devil, can understand it~! Come on, praise me, Patchouli-sama~"

The little devil laughed at the still confused Zorinqin, raised his head proudly, and wanted to rub Patchouli's face, but Patchouli blocked him with her hand.

The little devil tilted his head in confusion.

"Lady Patchouli?"

"Little devil, get ready for battle. The magic circle used to confuse you has been cracked. The enemy will attack soon." Patchouli touched the little devil's head to comfort him and explained.

"…Hey, Marisa is so powerful?" Zorinqin complained, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Patchouli, "By the way, Patchouli-san, were you the one who caused the change this time?"

"Hmm, I'm asking this all of a sudden." Patchouli paused as she stood up and looked back at Sarinko. "I'm an accomplice, the mastermind is Remi... but it doesn't really make any difference, after all, I was the one who created the magic that released the red mist."

“Why, why would you do such a thing? Covering your entire body in red mist…?” Sarinko pursed her lips.

"You guy, do you really question Lady Patchouli's behavior?" The little devil slammed the table, stood up and stared at Sarinko with his big eyes.

"I…"

"It's okay, little devil. It's normal that Ringo can't understand." Patchouli pushed the little devil back to her seat and shook her head gently. "If this happened to me in the past, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to accept it."

"But this is really a long story. It starts from the day when Remi and I met." Patchouli recalled the not-so-good past. "That was a... Sorry, Ringo, let's talk about it later."

"Eh?" Sarinko had just pricked up his ears, ready to listen to his elders telling stories, but he tilted his head in confusion.

"There are intruders coming." Patchouli's calm voice answered the doubts in Saringo's mind, "Little devil, take Ringo and hide."

"Okay Patchouli-sama~ As you command~" The little devil saluted playfully, and when he turned to Sarinko, his eyes became fierce again, "You, get up quickly! Didn't you hear what Patchouli-sama said!"

"Eh? Wait, why am I hiding?!"

"Hey, Lady Patchouli! This apple is so heavy, I can't pull it!" The little devil tried his best, but still couldn't make Zorin move even a step, and a feeling of frustration surged in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy wooden door of the library was opened by a pair of hands, and a frivolous voice came from behind the door.

"Wow, there are so many books! After the incident is over, why not just borrow them all?"

"I won't lend it to you." Patchouli walked forward, holding the magic book, and looked coldly at the invaders who came in.

"Don't be so stingy~" Marisa waved her hand and looked at the cold witch in front of her.

"Marisa, get rid of her quickly." Reimu Hakurei leaned against a bookshelf and shouted to Marisa.

"Oh, leave it to me..." Marisa waved her arms, and halfway through she realized something was wrong. "Wait, I'm a wounded soldier, you actually want me to deal with her?"

"Why, you don't have confidence... But I'm tired, and this fog makes me cold and hungry." Hakurei Reimu shrugged and looked at Patchouli and said, "Hey, are you the owner of this mansion? You guys are releasing too much fog, it's really a nuisance."

"I'm not the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so you should keep these words in your heart." Patchouli opened the magic book in her hand. "After all, I will get rid of you."

"Marisa?" Sarinko suddenly asked.

"Hey, Ringo? Why are you here?" Marisa frowned. "Were you caught? Really, I let you run around. Wait, I will come to rescue you after I deal with this guy."

"No, Patchouli-san is not an enemy!" Sarinko held her face, not knowing how to explain, "Uh... she didn't do anything to me at all..."

"Don't be so naive, Ringo. When Remi and I started this incident, we were already on opposite sides of their positions. Maybe you didn't mean to be my enemy, but you wouldn't choose to help me, right?" Patchouli stopped Zoringo from talking alone. "In that case, just watch carefully. I will defeat them myself."

"You are quite confident." Marisa scratched her head. "But she is right. Apple, just stand there and watch. You can't form any effective fighting power anyway."

A fireball flew past Marisa.

"Marisa, how dare you speak to the great magician, the Ring of Black Evil, like this!" Zorinko gritted her teeth, with smoke coming out of her hands, as if Marisa's words had touched her sore spot.

Well, I've always been a drag.

"Uh, uh, anyway, just watch. Whether you attack me or that girl named Patchouli, it will be very difficult for you, right?"

"No, I feel like beating you up right now will make me feel better." Miss Sarinko puffed up her face angrily, but she sat down steadily with her cheeks supported by her hands.

"what the hell…"

Chapter 97: Substitution

“What the hell…” Zuo Linqin supported his face with his palm, his face twisted. “This is terrible. The initiator of the mutation is a guy I know…Isn’t there anything I can do about it?”

Generally speaking, when encountering such anomalies, other people's systems will definitely provide a lot of tasks and rewards.

As for our own system... even the tasks have to be accepted by ourselves on the notice board. Even if we solve this incident by ourselves, it probably won't make a sound.

"By the way, Meihong isn't here yet."

"What are you talking to yourself for, you annoying apple!" The little devil who jumped out from behind interrupted Zuo Linqin's thoughts, and a pair of small hands kept kneading Zuo Linqin's face.

"Let go of me, it hurts!"

...

"Be careful, Reimu. This guy has strong magic power! As a fellow magician, I can feel it!" Marisa rolled to avoid Patchouli's fireball and warned Reimu, "By the way, he actually used fire in his own library. What on earth is going on in this guy's mind?"

"This may be a unique hobby of some rich people." Reimu shrugged and waved the imperial coin to disperse the flying barrage. "As a poor person, I can't understand it."
