"If I were scared by your words, I wouldn't be Hakurei Reimu!" ​​Hakurei Reimu waved the coin and arranged something. "But it seems that it's difficult to get around a maid like you. Spell Card Duel?"

"Of course, no problem." Sakuya smiled and took out a spell card from her pocket. "Actually, I'm also quite curious about how this game is played."

Although the rules of Spell Card Duel have been out for some time, they are not often used in daily life.

During the Red Mist Incident and the Haruyuki Incident, the limelight was stolen by Sarinko and others, resulting in the Spell Card Rules not being promoted much... Now Reimu Hakurei has to spend extra time promoting Spell Card Duels.

Hakurei Reimu has some complaints about the two troublemakers, Sarinko and Marisa.

"Here, give it to me, wait!" At this time, Konpaku Youmu finally caught up with the two of them and took out his own spell card. "I want to participate in the spell card duel too!"

"Okay, let's use this box as the bet, and the loser must not complain!" Reimu Hakurei was holding SCP458 and could only fight with one hand, which was a disadvantage in every sense... but for the sake of a happy life in the future, she took out 300% of her enthusiasm to participate in this spell card duel!

A fierce battle is about to break out!

"Okay, stop it."

Meihong, who caught up, stood between the three people and said to Hakurei Reimu, "To be honest, there is no need for you to fight. Apple's personality is such that if you really want to borrow some props, she will not refuse at all."

"..." Hakurei Reimu glanced at the pizza box in her hand, then looked at Meihong who was shrugging her shoulders. "Is this really free?"

"Of course, the pizza is unlimited anyway." Meihong nodded nonchalantly and said, "And you two, your masters have reconciled, so there is no reason to fight."

"Tsk...Okay." Hakurei Reimu reluctantly handed over SCP458. "Really? It really is free, right?"

"Of course it's true..." Meihong rolled her eyes.

"The Phantom Thief Marisa appears! Wherever there is treasure, there will be me, Marisa... Hey, you guys are done."

Marisa suddenly appeared and looked at the three people who had reconciled. She scratched her cheek awkwardly and said, "It seems that I won't get a share of the pie."

"You are really dedicated, black and white mouse." Sakuya scolded mercilessly, "You are already injured and yet you still want to fish in troubled waters?"

Chapter 162: One million points of cuteness!

“I see, that’s how it is…” Sarinko tapped his palms, “So that’s how the fight started.”

"There was no fight. It's... stopped." Reimu Hakurei also felt that her behavior seemed a little wrong, and turned her head away without looking into Sarinko's eyes.

"...Hmm." Sarinko tilted his head helplessly and said, "It's okay to lend it to you, just don't lose it."

"Really?! Are you an angel?" Hakurei Reimu's eyes lit up after hearing what Sarinko said, and she grabbed Sarinko's hand, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"There's no need to lie to you." Zoringo easily freed his hands from the restraints. "But pizza is delicious, but it has a lot of calories. Don't eat too much every day, or you'll get fat... Hey, are you listening to me?"

"..."

The Hakurei miko lowered her head and muttered inexplicably, and it seemed that it was impossible to communicate with her at all.

Marisa came over and nudged Sarinko with her elbow, saying, "Apple, it seems that you have quite a lot of treasures in stock. Take them out now so that we can see them while there are so many people here!"

Sarinko rolled his eyes and stood straight with an expressionless face, basically ignoring Marisa's words and letting them go in one ear and out the other.

"Don't pretend to be dead..."

"Yakamachi! Where did all these good things come from!" Zorinko glared and released Cosi from the backpack space. "Cosi, peck her!"

"Ga!" Cosi chirped happily, and his star-like figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Marisa.

"Aaaaaah! That hurts!" Marisa was pecked on the butt unexpectedly. She jumped up in pain and said, "Don't come near me, you stinky bird!"

However, Cosi is not an animal. When Marisa drives him away, Cosi turns into a ball of fluid, then changes into the form of a crow and pecks at Marisa.

"Don't keep pecking at the same spot. Wait! You can't do that!"

"Hmph." Sarinko hugged his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

While Sarinko and Marisa were playing around, something seemed to be happening with Reimu Hakurei.

A white and tender little hand stretched out from the crack full of horrifying eyeballs, and took away the pizza box while Reimu Hakurei was not paying attention.

After reacting, Reimu Hakurei twitched her lips. She naturally knew whose little hand was causing trouble.

"Zi! Give me back the pizza box!" Hakurei Reimu looked around and shouted loudly. The coin in her hand was ready to jump and chop the naughty guy to death the moment he jumped out. "Come out quickly!"

"Really, Reimu-chan is not gentle at all. I won't take your things and never return them. There's no need to be so nervous."

Suddenly, a strange crack appeared in the air, with red and blue bows tied on both sides of the crack, perhaps to make the crack look cuter, but it was obviously useless.

A blonde woman wearing a strange combination of Taoist robes and Western clothes sat across the opening of the gap, swallowed a slice of pizza in her hand, and licked her fingers with lavender nail polish, looking extremely charming.

Who would have thought that she was a girl whose age was beyond human imagination?

"Good morning everyone, did you enjoy the party~?" Yakumo Yukari waved to the people who were looking at her from below, "But I think it was pretty good."

"If it hadn't caused so much trouble, it wouldn't have been so bad." Remlia snorted. "But you, as a monster sage, came a little too late."

"Sorry, sorry, the weather is getting warmer and the quilt is so comfortable, so I slept a little longer~" Yakumo Yukari playfully winked at Remlia "Do you need me to apologize?"

“Ah…” Remlia was so shocked by Yakumo Yukari’s behavior that she took a half step back, hugged her chest and trembled. “No, then there’s no need for that.”

While Yakumo Yukari was talking to Remlia, Reimu naturally would not miss this good opportunity to take action. She leaped towards the gap where Yakumo Yukari was and said, "Yukari, give me back the box!"

Yakumo Yukari was not in a hurry. She just relaxed and fell into the gap, easily dodging Reimu's coin. Then she poked her head out from another place and said with a pout.

"I don't remember ever teaching you, Reimu, to be someone who would bully your sister."

"Ah..." Reimu felt a chill, staggered when she landed, and almost fell. She shook her body and said speechlessly, "Please, please can you stop saying weird things? I feel a little unwell."

“…You’re such a bad mouth.” Yakumo Yukari puffed up her cheeks, and after returning to the gap, she walked out from the front of Hakurei Reimu. “Okay, I’ll give it back to you~”

"It would have been better if we had done this earlier." Hakurei Reimu snorted and took SCP458.

"Well, we've teased Reimu, so it's time to get down to business today." Yakumo Yukari coughed, and her expression rarely turned serious. "It's not through Kamikakushi, but a new face that suddenly appeared in Gensokyo."

"Wait, if you want to cause trouble for Apple, I won't let you go." Remlia immediately stepped forward to stop Yakumo Yukari, looking up and hugging her chest.

"Ahaha, I won't do anything to a cute child." Yakumo Yukari sneered, "There are already enough strange guys in Gensokyo, I just want to confirm it."

"I hope what you said is consistent with what you did." Remlia remained unmoved. "I will keep an eye on you. If you dare to do something bad secretly, no one here will let you go."

"You make me look like a bad guy." Yakumo Yukari glanced at Meihong, Marisa, Patchouli and others who were slowly surrounding them as if they were about to fight, and shrugged helplessly.

He came before Sarinko, who felt like he was being judged.

At this moment, Sarinko was feeling extremely nervous. The big monster in front of him named Yakumo Yukari seemed to be very easy to talk to, but according to rumors from others, this guy called the Monster Sage always had a clear purpose in his actions.

Calm, decisive, and ruthless, without such a king's skill, it would be impossible for him to suppress the monsters' bloodlust and unsociability alone and build the Gensokyo that now appears to be harmonious, at least on the surface.

Sarinko, who was targeted by Yakumo Yukari, felt like a chicken being targeted by a snake. With thousands of sharp edges pointing at him, he felt really uneasy.

“……” Sarinko felt his chin being pinched by Yakumo Yukari, and he gently turned his head away.

Sarinko closed her eyes tightly, pursed her lips, and prepared to face Yakumo Yukari's judgment. Her heart seemed like it was about to jump out.

"This posture." Yakumo Yukari exhaled lightly, and the warm wind blew on Sarinko's cheek.

"Without a doubt..."

"One million points!"

Sarinko felt as if she was being hugged...

"Meow!"

Then, feeling fatally threatened, she turned into a black cat.

Chapter 163: Excessive use of memes is unacceptable

Yakumo Yukari suddenly hugged her, making Sarinko feel quite a bit of pressure. She unconsciously transformed into a black cat and leaped out by stepping on Yakumo Yukari's arm.

“Wow, it turned into a black cat! It’s obviously not a monster.” Yakumo Yukari was slightly shocked. “But this reaction is too big! Sister, I just wanted to hug you, wow, I feel so hurt…”

Sarinko quickly crawled to the back of Meihong's head, revealing only one eye and secretly observing Yakumo Yukari.

"I think it's normal to have this kind of reaction when a stranger suddenly hugs you," Reimu Hakurei said.

"Really? I think my attitude should still be very friendly. After all, I am a beautiful girl." Yakumo Yukari looked herself up and down to see if there was anything wrong.

“…It’s obviously…” Marisa turned her head away and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s. However, Yakumo Yukari’s head suddenly appeared in front of Marisa through the gap, with a gloomy look in her eyes.

"Marisa, you seem to have some objections to my self-evaluation."

“Ah ...

It's perfect for scaring people by just sending your head through the gap.

At least it succeeded in getting Marisa to shut up.

"Really? I'm so scared. Alice, I want a hug..." Marisa pretended to wipe the tears from her eyes and said to Alice closely.

"Go play."

Yakumo Yukari put away her playful mentality, closed the gap, and approached Sarinko again, but this time Meikou stood in front of her.

"Come to think of it, my shikigami's shikigami is also a black cat. I feel like you two will have a lot to talk about." Yakumo Yukari said, clapping her palms with her folding fan.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Meihong stopped Yakumo Yukari from continuing her attempt to get close to her, hoping that she would get straight to the point. "It's not getting too early."

"Ms. Meihong is still as straightforward as ever, but that's okay." Yakumo Yukari opened her folding fan and covered her face, making it impossible to see what her expression was at the moment. "Ms. Ringo suddenly appeared in Gensokyo seven months ago, right?

At that time, you seemed to be just a magician with little magical power... But I didn't pay attention to you during that time. I only recently learned about the situation at that time from the Hieda family.

At that time, she had no way to deal with Mao Yu. "

“It’s not like I can’t even deal with Mao Yu, meow…” Sarinko turned her cat face away, and probably no one could tell that she was actually blushing.

"Go on, I'm listening." Meihong reached out and touched Saringo to comfort him. By the way, how come you are so skilled at petting cats?

“Ahem.” Yakumo Yukari unconsciously glanced at Meihong who was petting the cat with an expressionless face and coughed, “It’s actually been okay during this period. If Ms. Ringo had always been so weak, I guess Lan and I wouldn’t have noticed that someone had sneaked into the great barrier.

But what happens next is very interesting... After meeting Kazami Yuuka, Ms. Ringo's abilities have improved by leaps and bounds."

Because I got the Sun Lance, and my mana is almost enough to use Explosion Magic...

Sarinko muttered quietly in his heart.

Next, he made a big splash in the Red Mist Incident, and turned the enemy into a friend with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and now they have a close relationship.

And before that, several of them joined forces to defeat Saigyouji Yuyuko. Saringo's combat effectiveness increased dozens of times in just a few months.

Readers who have been following the series for three years may not feel anything, but Saringo’s growth is undoubtedly exaggerated.

It was so exaggerated that even the knowledgeable Yakumo Yukari had to sigh and wonder what the hell this was.

I have seen all kinds of storms and waves (×)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this thing before (√)

"As for talent, Ms. Ringo is truly unprecedented and unrivaled." Yakumo Yukari pursed her lips. "If time goes on, it will be so terrifying that I won't be able to sleep or eat well."

"Yakumo Yukari, what on earth do you want to say?!"

"But I really don't want to give up your talent... So, make your choice." Yakumo Yukari's sudden cold words made everyone's heart tighten. "Are you going to refuse for the sake of temporary freedom, or be loyal to me for eternal peace of mind!"

“…You are kidding me.” Meihong clenched her fist and swung it towards Yakumo Yukari, but Yakumo Yukari easily dodged it.

"Now is the ladies' time alone, there is nothing wrong with parents." Yakumo Yukari turned around and caught Sarinko who was about to jump away, "Got it."

"Oops!"

"Why are you letting me down at this time, turkey!" Remlia was ready to fight, but the hostages were in the hands of the enemy. How could she take action in this situation?

"Make your choice, Sarinko." Yakumo Yukari brought the cat Ringo to her and looked into her cat's eyes. "This will change your future destiny."

“……” Looking at Yakumo Yukari, Sarinko suddenly felt himself relax.

Since there is no escape, there is no need to be afraid.

Under Yakumo Yukari's gaze, Sarinko gradually changed from a cat back into human form.

"My name is Sarinko, I'm 17 years old. I live in the commercial area in the eastern part of Human Village, and I'm unmarried. I work in an alchemy shop, and my goal is to become a real great magician. I don't smoke, and I only drink a little. I go to bed at 11 pm and sleep for 8 hours a day. Before going to bed, I must drink a glass of warm milk, then do 20 minutes of stretching exercises, and fall asleep immediately after getting into bed. I sleep until dawn, and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day. Doctor Yae Eirin said that I am normal."

"I don't need crazy joy, so I don't have deep despair. I live a peaceful life with a heart like a plant. Such a stable life is my goal... Excessive fighting is the opposite of the stable life I pursue, so I hate it."

"Seeking peace and disliking fighting? Then there is only one answer for you."

"reject."

"But...I refuse!"

"One of my favorite things to do is to say [NO] to those who think they are so strong!"

With a backhand push, Sarinko easily broke free from Yakumo Yukari's control, covered half of her face, and assumed a posture that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
