Chapter 109 Flying Apple

"Add this first..." Zoringo squinted his eyes and poured the liquid in the reagent in his hand into the flask. He watched the liquid in the flask slowly turn into a mysterious and strange purple after mixing. "Add this... hehe..."

Sarinko placed the transparent crystal in his hand into the flask and smiled with satisfaction.

“This is simply the most perfect invention! It turns out that I have god-like talent!” Sarinko covered his face with one hand and chuckled, “It’s only been a few days since I started learning alchemy, but I can create such a terrifying alchemical work... hehehe... hahahahahaha!”

"But why does a genius like me have to go to school tomorrow?" Sarinko suddenly stopped his silly behavior and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's test this bottle of plant growth agent first."

Sarinko ran to the backyard with the flask in his hand and an apple that he had not finished eating.

"I'll use you as an experiment! Feel proud!" Sarinko put the apple on the ground and raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "Oh my~"

Sarinko shook out a little of the liquid in the flask in his hand and dripped it onto the apple.

“…Hmm.” He stared at the apple for a long time, but there was no response.

Sarinko raised his eyebrows and guessed, "Is it because you poured too little? Try the first point again..."

"Forget it, just pour it all in." Looking at the apple that was already sizzling after he accidentally poured too much in, Sarinko made the decisive decision to give up treatment, "Try this!"

Then he poured out all the remaining liquid in the flask.

"Ha, I feel better." Sarinko curled her lips. "But there's still no reaction. Is there something wrong with that link, huh?"

Just as Sarinko was complaining, the apple on the ground suddenly shook, attracting her attention.

"...Stare." Zorinko stared intently...and then was knocked into the air by the sudden explosion of the apple!

No, that wasn't an apple! It was a huge tree that completely filled the backyard!

“Wow! This is amazing! It turns out that the dosage is just not big enough, I am such a genius!” Sarinko cheered while sitting on the tree canopy, “Even the fruits have been produced, although I don’t know how it works! But alchemy is really amazing!”

Click——the sound of camera shutters nearby brought Sarinko back to his senses.

"Who's taking pictures?" Sarinko tilted his head. It would be more accurate to say that the appearance of a camera in a place like Gensokyo was strange.

"Oh, was someone heard? There's nothing I can do." The voyeur came out very openly. She seemed to be lying on the roof of the house next door.

"I'm Yumeimimaru Fumi, please give me your guidance." The female monster instigator named Yumeimimaru Fumi brushed off the dust on her body nonchalantly. She hovered in front of Sarinko with black wings and pointed the antique camera in her hand at Sarinko. "Come on, smile~"

“…How can I laugh?” Sarinko twitched his lips, and this expression was captured on camera. “Hey, stop taking pictures!”

click-

"Well, how should I put it? This expression doesn't really suit a cute little lady like you." Reimu Marufumi pulled out a photo from under the retro camera, put her hand on her chin in a hook shape, and actually began to comment, "Well, it won't be a big deal if you smile~"

"..." Sarinko looked at Reimu Marufumi who was talking to himself speechlessly, covering his head and said, "So, this..."

"You can just call me Yumeimarufumi~ No need to use honorifics!" Yumeimarufumi interrupted Sarinko, looking around curiously, taking pictures again and again with the retro camera in her hand. "Of course, if you want to call me more intimately, I don't mind~ But it's better to cultivate feelings little by little~!"

"…So, what can I do for you?"

"Well, look, I'm a reporter, so of course I have to look for big news that will interest everyone!" Yumeimarufumi waved her hand and explained to Sarinko, "And the person in front of me, well, that's you! Sarinko!"

"How do you know my name... I don't remember introducing myself to you?" Sarinko narrowed his eyes.

"Hey~hey~hey~I'm an unconventional journalist, so I naturally have my own channels. Don't mind such trivial matters. It's no big deal if people know my name~Applesauce!" Reimu Marufumi stuck out her tongue at Sarinko, trying to get away with it. "The next part is the most important part, so it's best not to interrupt!"

"... "

"This reporter discovered a red Daibie suddenly appeared on the Mist Lake one day! My reporter's instinct tells me that there must be big news here!" Yumemimaru suddenly moved closer to Sarinko and said loudly, "There must be!"

“…Oh, oh.” Sarinko twitched his lips and leaned back unconsciously.

"Then, of course, this reporter tried to sneak in." Yumeimarufumi got closer and closer to Saringo, her face almost touching Saringo's. "But, it's very strange! No matter how I approached that villa, whether I went in through the window or from the garden, I eventually abandoned my dignity as a girl and tried to go in through the chimney! In the end, I would inexplicably appear at the gate, and then be chased by that strange guard with a knife stuck in his head!"

"It's very strange, isn't it? It's very strange, isn't it? But this attempt to cover up the truth makes me more certain... There is big news in this Dabieye!"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it... Don't come close to me anymore..." Sarinko blushed and pushed Reimu Marufumi away.

"Hey, she's actually an innocent girl. That's a good expression." Click, another photo. Yumemimaru nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat and continued, "Where were we just talking about... Yeah, yes, there was big news in this Dabieye building! Then I staked out there for a few days, and suddenly one day, when I was eating red bean bread and keeping watch, the Dabieye building suddenly exploded!"

“…Ahem.” Sarinko turned his head away.

"Hehehe, I've been waiting for so many days and eating so much red bean bread, and finally I've gotten what I wanted..."

"Then I was arrested, and the topic ended there." Sarinko covered his head.

"Don't say that. What exactly did you go through after you were captured? Please be kind and tell me~ Hey!" Reimu Naruto smiled ingratiatingly, rubbing his palms up and down. "What kind of abuse did the captured girl suffer to become stronger in hatred and defeat the big monster named Remlia in that incident~! Tell me quickly, it's rude to keep others in suspense~"

"Hey, did you also know about the Red Mist Incident?!" Sarinko opened her mouth slightly and looked at Reimu Marufumi with a little surprise.

"After all, it's such a big commotion. Even if I'm obsessed with writing, I can't help but notice it~" Yumeimarufumi raised the camera in her hand and showed the content to Sarinko. "I took most of it. Didn't you notice me? Ah, my stealth skills are getting better and better~!"

"Don't change the subject, just tell me now, you know some explosive stuff!"

"…Okay, then I'll tell you, Remlia didn't do anything to me. She just made a simple agreement for compensation." Zoringo rolled her eyes. "She also learned a little alchemy by the way."

"…This doesn't make sense. They were able to have such a peaceful conversation even after their house was destroyed. Is that the temper of that big monster?" Yumemimaru bit the tip of his pen and frowned. "Something is wrong. This kind of news won't interest anyone."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. This apple was made by you using that thing called alchemy just now, right?" Reimu Marufumi picked a red apple from the branch.

"That's right... but because it's a prototype, it's best not to... eat it." Sarinko advised Reimu Marufumi, but it seemed like the other party didn't listen.

"I'm going to eat~!" Yumemimaru smiled and put the apple into his mouth, chewing it. "Really? Because of the surveillance, I have been eating red bean bread. I eat an apple, it's okay... haha!"

The apple residue that had not been swallowed yet sprayed all over Zoringo's face at close range.

"What the hell is this? It's so disgusting!" Yumemimaru's face turned purple. "I feel like my stomach acid is starting to rise..."

"I told you not to eat anymore..." Sarinko wiped the sticky apple residue on her face with disdain, "...I need to take a shower."

Chapter 110: I am the cutest woman in the world

"Ahaha, I'm so sorry~ I accidentally couldn't help it!" The annoying Crow Tengu reporter apologized to Sarinko with a smile, "Sorry, sorry~"

"...I always feel like you did it on purpose." Zoringo closed his eyes, silently opened the system store, and clicked to buy the dispersion potion that only cost three hundred gold coins.

"Of course I didn't mean it. How can you slander someone's innocence like this?" Shemie Marufumi widened her eyes in anger and retorted to Zuo Linqin, "But since the fault lies with me, I won't care... Oh, by the way, how about I help you rub your back as an apology!"

In just a moment, the monster's mind wandered far away.

"Why would I apologize by helping to scrub your back?" Zorinko laughed dryly and drank the dispersing potion expressionlessly. The debris on his face trembled... and then flew away under the magical power of the potion.

It landed and flew in front of Zuolin and shot at Mingmaruwen.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Sarinko apologized expressionlessly.

"...I say, you did it on purpose." Reimu Marufumi took a piece of apple residue off his face, and a rare change appeared on his smiling face. "This is definitely intentional."

"No, I haven't used this potion. I didn't expect it to be so effective." Zuo Linqin turned his head away. "Because the sticky feeling on my face was too disgusting, I couldn't help but use it."

"You actually said that my saliva is disgusting, as a beautiful girl. You are really straightforward!" Reimu Marufumi's mouth twitched, but wasn't this guy's focus a bit strange?

"So what if she's a pretty girl? Can a pretty girl just spray others in the face at will?!" Sarinko retorted naturally, and stood up from the treetops and posed. "And if we really talk about pretty girls...I don't want to admit it, but I am also a pretty girl!"

"..."

"Look at this golden ratio body, this flawless cute face, this perfect short black hair, this..." Sarinko narrowed her eyes and made a gesture of praising the sun, "I have all of the above, and I am simply the cutest in the world."

"There are so many things to complain about that I don't know how to complain." Yumemimaru complained, "Do you still have a sense of shame?!"

"Well, it's totally fine for me to dislike the saliva of a girl who can barely be considered a beautiful girl. You just need to know this~ That's all." After saying this, Sarinko did a backflip and jumped off the apple tree. "I'm not interested in accepting your interview, and there's no bathroom in my house, so please go back quickly."

"Ha, how cold! I just wanted to report the news of the incident in its original form, why didn't it get through? Why can't we understand each other?" Reimu Wan waved her hands helplessly, "I can't write an article like this."

"Unfortunately, that experience can't be spread casually, so don't waste time on it." Said Sarinko.

"Oh~ I see... Is there something you're too embarrassed to see others? Write it down~" Reimu Marufumi opened his notebook and pretended to write.

"Wait, wait! That never happened! Are you, a reporter, planning to fabricate something?"

"Heh... there's a flaw." When Reimu Marufumi saw Zorin's capture action, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a middle-aged smile.

The whole person turned into an afterimage! Suddenly, like a flash, he appeared under Zuo Linqin's skirt!

"What kind of speed is this?!" Sarinko was so surprised that his mouth opened slightly.

Click, click, click————

"No, no, no!" As the sound of the camera rang out, Sarinko finally reacted and quickly covered her skirt. "Why do you have to crawl under my skirt to take pictures?"

"Kuku, you were completely careless, Ringo-san." As if she had won, Reimu Maru shook the camera under the skirt of Zuo Linqin. "If the consultation is not enough, the lace will make up for it! As long as we can get one issue of the content, it will be my victory!"

"Even if I have to bear a bad reputation, I must give readers the highest visual enjoyment." Yumei Marufumi opened his eyes wide and took pictures of Sarinko frantically. "This is my creed!"

"If he's just taking pictures of other people's skirts, then... wouldn't he be just a pervert?" Zuo Linqin couldn't stand Reimu Maru's crazy behavior and quickly hid behind the door.

But he was still caught up by Reimu Marufumi who was in hot pursuit.

At this moment, using the system's detective eyes to look at Reimu Marufumi, strange data such as abnormal power (crossed out) and reporter power appeared above Reimu Marufumi's head!

Could it be that even the system has compromised under Reimu Marufumi's behavior?

"What's perverted or not? My behavior..."

"But it's justice!" Reimu Marufumi held up the camera and said without hesitation, pressing the shutter button continuously.

“…This guy is totally incomprehensible!” Sarinko covered his head with a headache. “Please, can you please respect yourself?”

"Sorry, this is my duty... huh?" Reimu Marufumi chuckled, but his expression suddenly changed and he stopped pressing the shutter.

…Remlia’s delicate voice was heard from the sky, and then Gungnir broke through the air!

"The magic spear——Gungnir!"

Gungnir mercilessly pierced through the afterimage of Reimu Maru...

"Tsk, didn't you hit it?" Remlia in the air couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered, "This stinky crow runs pretty fast..."

"It's so dangerous! I almost got stabbed to pieces... Hey, didn't anyone tell you not to throw away dangerous items like this?" Reimu Marufumi patted his chest lightly, raised his head and yelled at Remlia, "Oh, wait... You're not the vampire from the Scarlet Devil Mansion? But why are you here?"

"……hey-hey."

Reimu Marufumi looked at Remlia in the air, then looked at Sarinko hiding behind the door. Suddenly, he squinted his eyes, rolled up his tongue, and the style of the painting suddenly changed.

"Have a leg~"

Remi: "......(???)"

"Can I just kill her?" Remi pointed at Reimu Marufumi.

"Please go ahead. It would be great if you could make her disappear." Sarinko looked at Reimu Hōbun with disdain.

"Okay." Nodding slightly, Remlia summoned the red divine spear again.

"Wait wait, it's just a joke, just a joke! There's no need to be so serious, right?" A drop of cold sweat ran down Reimu's forehead. "Ah, is it possible that something really happened to you, so you want to eliminate me who accidentally guessed the truth? That's really..."

"Go to hell!" Remlia had had enough of Reimu Maru's chatter, and threw Gungnir out directly. "Gungnir is a sure-shot!"

"I'm out of here, see you next time!"

In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of Reimu Maru Bun.

Chapter 111: Too Cute Is Not Good

"Tsk, they actually followed us here, damn paparazzi." Remlia snorted coldly and said hatefully as she looked at Reimu Hideumimaru flying away into the sky.

Then he looked at Sarinko and explained as if to explain why he was there, "I heard some noise in the backyard, so I came around to check. Hey, Apple, are you okay?"

"Well, apart from some upskirt photos taken, there's nothing much." Sarinko waved her hand, not seeming to care much.

After all, beneath the female appearance lies the soul of a strong man.

“…No, no, no, that’s bad enough.” Remlia twitched her lips. “Your upskirt photos will spread all over Gensokyo at a rapid speed tomorrow.”

"...Hmm." Zorinko patted his head in pain. "Okay, it's really bad... But it seems that you were also photographed just now, right?"

“…I guess they will exaggerate some things that don’t exist, that’s why I hate that guy so much.” Remlia flapped her wings and flew to the tree, picked the apple, and wiped it with her clothes without minding it. “But it’s not a big problem. That guy’s newspaper has no credibility, and no one will read it seriously.”

"You can't eat that apple."

"It's just an apple, you stingy guy." Remlia snorted, as if she mistook the apple for a Zoringo, and took a big bite of it.

"puff--!"

Then as expected, he vomited.

……

“What, what is that taste!” Remlia spit out the mouthwash in her mouth and couldn’t help but complain to Sarinko, “How did you develop such a… hard to describe taste!”
