"Hehe... watch out!" Sarinko stretched out his left hand hidden behind his back and threw a snowball with a strange smile.

"I knew you wouldn't have any good intentions!"

Meihong had already prepared for the flying snowball. Grazing bullets were a necessary ability for the people of Gensokyo. She dodged it with a quick move, and scooped up the snow on the ground, pressed it into a ball, and threw it towards Sarinko.

Bang—the snowball hit Sarinko's forehead accurately, knocking him to the ground.

“…Woo, I won’t give in!” Sarinko struggled to get up from the ground.

As a result, the flying snowball knocked Sarinko down again.

"You're so old, and you still like snowball fights so much!" Meihong was throwing snowballs in her hands, and just when Sarinko fell down, Meihong pinched out a piece of 'ammunition'.

"I protest! Bah bah..." Sarinko spat out the snow in his mouth. "It's obviously Meihong who has been playing all along!"

"You were the one who started the war." Meihong laughed strangely and threw snowballs at Sarinko one by one. "Take it!"

"Well... you forced me to be serious." Zoringo rolled over to avoid the snowball, hid behind a tree and chanted a spell (actually pressed the skill icon)

"Fire, burn everything!"

The flames wrapped around the flying snowball and melted it into snow water in an instant. When it landed in front of Sarinko, it fell to the ground weakly.

"The horn of counterattack has sounded!" Then he threw a snowball at Meihong.

"You cheated." Meihong patted the snow off her body, and flames burned on her palms like Saringo.

This is the first day after the snow.

Then... time flies, and two and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"It's so cold..." Sarinko lay in the kotatsu and tightened the blanket around herself.

Because the snow hadn’t melted away, there were still no pedestrians on the roads of the Human World, and the Alchemy House had no income for two months...

Click—the door of the alchemy house opened without any warning, and the flying snow and cold wind blew through the crack in the door and hit Sarinko's face like a knife, making Sarinko shiver all over.

"Ah, is that Meihong? Close the door quickly, I'm freezing to death..." Zuo Linko half sat up, glanced at the person who came, and then lay down again.

"You're still sitting idle in the kotatsu." Meihong shook off the snow from her coat and hung it on the hanger. "If you really have so much free time, why don't you go and clean up the snow at the door? It's so thick that we can't even open the door."

"Even if we sweep it away, it will pile up quickly." Sarinko flipped through the magazine beside him, unmoved.

No matter how novel the snow is, seeing it every day for nearly three months would have made you sick of it.

On the contrary, the cold and the impending food shortage are real.

"It's almost March, isn't spring coming yet?" Sarinko reached out and searched on the table, and touched a dried persimmon. "I can't hold on any longer if this continues."

“…If we go on like this, the food might not be enough. Those big shots in the human world will definitely have a headache.” Meihong frowned and got into the kotatsu as well.

The reason for going out today is because Huiyin's student caught a bad cold. With the current medical level in the Human World, it is probably impossible to treat him, so Meihong had to rush him to Yongyuan Pavilion for treatment.

Kicking Sarinko who occupied most of the space, Meihong said, "Make some room for me."

"Hmm~~ I feel like it's getting warmer since Meihong came in. I don't want to move at all..." Sarinko reluctantly changed to a sitting position. "This weather... Was Gensokyo always like this before?"

"No, the changing of the four seasons was normal in the past." Meihong shook her head and said, "This is the first time I've seen this."

"It's a mutation!" Sarinko slapped the table, stood up, revealing his bare thighs... and then instantly went back inside.

"Oh, it's so cold..."

"Now that I think about it, it should be a mutation." Meihong touched her chin, "I don't know if the Hakurei priestess has solved it..."

"Meihong! Let's go!" Sarinko sat in the kotatsu and said seriously, "Let's solve the abnormality!"

"You're not convincing at all." Meihong said with a hollow look, "At least put on your pants first."

"Hmm..." Sarinko looked at his pajamas which were no different from those he wore during the winter vacation. After a moment of silence, he scratched his head and looked at Meihong and said, "Meihongtan, you are already a mature Penglai person. It's time to solve the abnormality yourself."

" " Meihong rolled her eyes and didn't bother to respond to Sarinko's words.

After taking a bite of the persimmon cake, he spoke slowly.

"It seems that someone has no awareness of the troubles caused by forcibly intervening in Remlia's incident."

"Well... at least Remi won't ask me for the debt anymore?" Zoringo coughed twice awkwardly.

Dengdengdeng-

"Ah, there's a knock on the door..." Sarinko and Meihong looked at each other, and neither of them showed any intention of getting up to open the door.

"Just pretend you're not home. Nothing good is going to happen if you come visit on a snowy day like this."

"I agree." Meihong nodded, and the two stopped talking and pretended not to be at home.

The knocking sound lasted for a long time before it disappeared.

"have they gone."

“He should have left.”

"You're not leaving?" Marisa's voice sounded outside the window. She flew in the air on a broom and waved to Sarinko and the other person who were looking over.

"Hello~ How are you, both of you?"

"How should I put it...When I see this guy, I feel like nothing good will happen." Meihong raised her eyebrows.

"Hey, hey, don't say that. After all, we are partners who have fought side by side." Marisa knocked on the window. "It's so cold outside. How about letting me in first?"

Chapter 143 New Ability: Manipulating Gravity

"Don't worry about me too much, just give me a cup of hot cocoa." Marisa came in through the window, took off her shoes, and got into the kotatsu, talking to herself.

“…Here’s this, drink it if you want.” Sarinko wordlessly took out a can of carbonated drink from his backpack and pushed it towards Marisa.

"Oh~thank you!"

Marisa opened the pull ring without hesitation and took a sip.

"Wow, it's so cold and tastes weird... but it's not bad."

"That's enough time for small talk. You didn't come here just to ask for a can of Dr. Pepper, did you?" Sarinko interrupted Marisa's emotional expression.

"Well, I really want to do that, but this time it's definitely not..." Marisa pushed the jar forward and said, "You've also noticed that spring is late this year! This is absolutely..."

"It's a change! Ah!"

Marisa pumped her fist, trying to add credibility to her words.

"How could someone dare to take away everyone's favorite spring? This guy is unforgivable! He must be caught and taught a lesson!"

"Well, it's indeed unusual for spring to come so late, but do you have any clues that this is man-made?" Meihong asked, tapping the table with her index finger.

"Of course not!" Marisa said confidently, "I prefer to trust my own intuition rather than looking for clues bit by bit!"

"Ah, it's the Beast Magician." Sarinko rolled his eyes and complained.

"No, I'm very ordinary and traditional~" Marisa blinked, and it seemed like little stars flew out of her eyes.

But suddenly he slumped down on the table in frustration.

"But Reimu doesn't believe me at all... The abnormality is so obvious... It's her job to solve it."

"So...you want me to be with you?" Sarinko asked tentatively.

"That's right! After all, we have already cooperated once!" Marisa cheered up at once, "Let's work together to get everyone's spring back!"

"But all my magical abilities have been sealed, you know?"

"Ah? Aren't you a fighter who knows a little magic? It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Marisa said as usual, asking for death.

"(angry)"

"It hurts! You violent freak!" Marisa touched the bump on her head, feeling so painful that she almost cried. "I was just joking! There's no need to use so much force!"

"It's hard to control the strength." Sarinko said emotionlessly, "But I can't stand this snowy weather any more, so I'll go with you to solve the anomaly with reluctance."

Even though he always complains about Marisa, in this usually peaceful Gensokyo, mutations and barrage games can be considered entertainment activities, so they are certainly not to be missed!

"Meihong..." Sarinko blinked at Meihong.

"..." Needless to say, Meihong knew what Sarinko wanted to say, and nodded helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you... But the continuous snowfall is indeed very harmful to the human world, so it's okay to go with you."

"But from the perspective of your caretaker, there are many dangerous places in Gensokyo, so you'd better not stay too far away from me." Meihong said seriously.

"Yes! If the situation goes wrong, I will immediately abandon Marisa and run away!"

"Hey hey!" Marisa said unhappily.

...

"Come, sit behind my broom." Marisa vacated a seat on the broom and patted it with her hand. "But don't hug me too tight. There were several times when I thought I was going to be cut in half."

"Hehe, Marisa... you don't understand this, right? There's an old saying that goes 'When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes!'" Sarinko patted his chest proudly, and a transparent wave appeared on his body, and his feet left the ground. "I am no longer the Muggle boy who couldn't fly!"

"Oh my, it can fly now." Marisa said a little surprised.

After all, Gensokyo is a place where supernatural powers are rampant, so being able to fly is a perfectly normal thing.

"Can't you be a little more surprised..." Sarinko puffed up her cheeks. Marisa's bland expression was almost the same as that of Meihong when she saw her flying, which made her feel very frustrated.

"What's so surprising..." Marisa pointed at a black crow full of starlight that suddenly appeared above Meihong's head and asked, "I'm more curious about where this bird came from?"

"This crow is Cosi." Meihong reached out to grab the crow above her head, but the crow was like a ball of liquid. It broke into pieces when she grabbed it, and then merged into one again. It pecked Meihong's hand with its backhand, causing it to hurt.

"Ah! You damn stinky bird!"

"I drew it... it suddenly appeared after I got this ability~" Sarinko explained, "I float in the air not because I can fly, but because I change my own gravity. If Cauchy is too far away from me, I will not be able to control gravity."

"Stay away from me, or I'll turn you into a roasted crow!" Meihong gritted her teeth and said to the crow that flew back to Sarinko's shoulder.

"It seems like the two of them are annoyed with each other." Marisa said with a smirk. It was a rare sight to see Meihong being humiliated.

During the three months, Saringo was not only slacking off, he also naturally never stopped drawing cards, and many interesting abilities were added to his skill bar.

Because of the Eirin potion he swallowed before, most of them could not be used.

However, the ability to control gravity is given by crows, so it will not be affected by the potion. It is also the reason why Zoringo has the confidence to eliminate the mutation.

"Apple, do you have any ideas about the target of the search?" Marisa also floated up on the broom and asked Sarinko.

"Let's go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion first." Sarinko immediately thought of a vampire with a criminal record. "Whether it was Remi who did it or not, she can see through fate and there must be some way."

"That makes sense, but I've already thought of this!" Marisa waved her fist. "Then let's trigger it directly towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion!"

Meihong rolled her eyes silently, and Sarinko was too lazy to care about Marisa's big talk.

"The door is closed, let's go!"

The three of them jumped up and flew to the Scarlet Devil Mansion at high speed.

...After a while

“… Ugh, ugh…” Sarinko retched, circles rolling in his eyes.

"How can someone faint while flying?" Marisa wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and said sarcastically, "Can you do it?"

"Well, very...okay!" Sarinko's face was bitter, gastric juice was moving in circles in his stomach, and his whole body was limp.

"We're already near the Mist Lake, so why not just walk over there?" Meihong supported Sarinko and was a little speechless. "If you're afraid of heights, don't try to be brave."

"No, it's just that this is my first time flying by myself...the feeling of weightlessness is really... " Sarinko made an excuse, but was interrupted by a stupid voice before he could finish.

"All of you stop! Hehe, it's time for me to take the stage again!"

Chapter 144: Selling out teammates

The three of them stopped and looked back. Sarinko complained weakly: "Every time we pass by the Mist Lake, Cirno-chan you come out to block our way..."

"Hmm?" Cirno tilted her head.

"Aren't we friends? How about you let us pass?" Zoringo put the snack in Cirno's hand and poked Cirno's shoulder with his elbow.

After the two of them lowered their heads and discussed in a low voice, when they looked up, Cirno's cheeks were puffed up like a hamster.

"Yeah... you're right, Apple! We are friends... chew chew, Cirno won't stop her friends... chew chew."

"You are really good at dealing with her..." Meihong rolled her eyes.

"It can't be helped... I'm just a little annoyed that this kid will come up to me and ask for snacks when he sees me after this." Sarinko said distressedly like an older sister. "Well, it's not a big deal though."

"Don't spoil her."
