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

Being woken up in the middle of the night, and filled with endless anger, Sarinko's eyes glowed red. She was so grumpy after waking up that she felt she couldn't think of anything!

When I opened the door, I saw a drunk and dazed little devil with big horns.

Looks like he's talking about something.

“Are you finally up, Ringo~ Why do you look so angry… Hmm? What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly pinch my face? It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts?!”

As soon as Sarinko, whose face looked like a devil, opened the door, he pinched Ibuki Suika's head with his claws, using a force far beyond that on the system panel, almost crushing Ibuki Suika's skull, without mercy!

"Who do you think made me so angry?!"

Sarinko roared word by word, and the aura emanating from him made Ibuki Suika feel scared involuntarily.

Is this guy's mood when he wakes up so terrible? It feels like his usually cute face is wearing a devil's mask.

"Stop, stop pinching me, I'm wrong, really..." Ibuki Suika shook her body, trying to break free from Sarinko's control. "I feel like my head is really going to be crushed. I would like to call you the strongest human being...ah, my brain is shaking!"

Thunderous crackle——! After a strange sound came out of her head, Ibuki Suika's body stopped moving.

Saringo dragged Ibuki Suika into Ringo Miaomiao's house as if she were dragging a dead ghost, and the night village returned to peace again.

Congratulations, congratulations.

……

It was daytime when Ibuki Suika opened her eyes and stretched lazily.

"Woo - I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time. Hmm, where is my wine gourd?" Ibuki Suika looked at the ceiling in a daze. Her whole body was wet, and she felt as if she was soaking in a pool of water?

"Here, your Ibuki bibimbap." A hand reached out from the side and handed the Ibuki bibimbap filled with wine to Ibuki Suika.

"Oh, thank you... Hmm? Why is Ringo here? And in a big pot full of alcohol." Ibuki Suika looked at Sa Ringo in confusion. She smiled but could not see the smile. She felt a little cold inexplicably. "Come to think of it, shouldn't I be in the Hakurei Shrine? I remember I just got everyone drunk and planned to find a place to sleep..."

"I see, is this why you came to my house in the middle of the night..."

“Ringo, could you please stop laughing? I always feel like your laugh looks so weird…” Ibuki Suika covered her head in confusion, feeling as if she had lost some memory, but she couldn’t remember it at all.

I just feel that they are some very important and very dangerous memories.

"But since you can't remember it, forget it~" Ibuki Suika no longer cared about her lost memories. After all, being a ghost shouldn't be too hard on herself. She smiled widely and said to Saringo, "By the way, Ringo, I want to live with you for a while. Should that be okay?"

"Of course, as long as you drink all the medicine...and drinks I give you, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"You even prepared some wine for me? That's really too polite~"

"..." Sarinko did not reply, but continued to look at Ibuki Suika with a smile on her face, until she felt scared, then he shifted his gaze.

In the backpack, a prop was quietly staying in the grid.

『Devil Horn Powder』

Chapter 187 Help Me, Apple Dream

Cuixiang lived up to her name as a ghost. After she found herself soaking in the medicinal wine, she had no intention of moving. She just lowered her face and started to drink it up, getting drunk.

"Hehe, come together and you can have some wine, you're so nice, Ringo~" Ibuki Suika sat back in the alchemy cauldron, talking nonsense because she was drunk.

"Well, I'll accept your compliment." Sarinko crossed his arms over his chest and raised his head proudly, looking like he wanted to be praised again, and from time to time, a system notification about intelligence +1 popped up above his head.

"Wow, why does it smell like alcohol so early in the morning..."

Meihong walked into Saringo's alchemy room very naturally. As soon as she came in, she covered her nose. After looking at Ibuki Suika in the pot, her expression changed slightly.

"Why is this guy here... and sitting in the pot?" Meihong asked, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I heard that the ghosts have high-quality materials on their bodies. As an alchemist, you must be very interested. Remember to do things cleanly. Why don't I help too? I'm good at this."

"No, no, how could you think of that?" Zoringo rolled his eyes. How could he just kill this guy who could help him drink the wisdom potion?

Sarinko explained to Meihong what happened last night.

"It really is better to throw this troublesome guy to the Hakurei Shrine." Meihong said, covering her forehead. How lacking common sense does this demon tribe have that they would actually knock on the door in the middle of the night.

"I'll take her to the Hakurei Shrine. Seeing how drunk she is, I'm afraid she can't get there on her own."

Meihong pointed at Ibuki Suika who had fallen asleep again.

"Hmm... It doesn't matter for now. She's not completely useless."

She is the perfect tool for taking medicine. Just for this reason, there would be no problem for Sarinko to adopt Suika.

The main reason is that there is not enough space at home, and all kinds of bottles, jars, and large and small furniture have filled up this small house.

Zuo Lingqin took out a small hammer from his backpack and looked at the wood he had obtained from the system missions when he was doing the missions earlier...

"Sure enough, it's time to expand the house."

It would be fine if he lived alone, but the fact is that Meihong, the Black and White Thief and the Big Bat always come to visit, and Zoringo likes to keep the plush toys and figures he wins at home, so the space in the alchemy shop has long been insufficient.

Looking at his carpenter level, Sarinko thought he could give it a try.

"...Gu, wuah! I'm awake!" Ibuki Suika, who was half asleep, suddenly shook her body and woke up. She looked at Sarinko who had already started to get wood outside and said, "Are you going to expand the house? I'll come and help!"

"Were you really sleeping just now..." Sarinko's mouth twitched.

"Ah, you're half asleep, I still heard it clearly." Ibuki Suika squinted her eyes and made a W shape with her mouth. "I'm the best at this kind of rough work. You're actually expanding the house for me. Everyone, come out~"

Ibuki Suika clapped her hands, and from behind her, three-head-tall mini-Suikas came out and lined up in a row.

"No, no, no, I'm not expanding the house for you..." Sarinko waved her hands frantically to prevent Ibuki Suika from imagining "It's really because there's not enough space."

"Hey, don't be so shy~"

"Do all the guys from the ghost tribe talk to themselves like this?" Sarinko looked at Meihong in confusion.

"Who knows?" Meihong said with her hands up, "After all, the ghost tribe has disappeared for so many years."

However, free labor would be wasted, so he asked Ibuki Suika to help. Although those clones looked small and unreliable, they were actually much stronger than ordinary villagers, and could easily help Sarinko cut wooden boards and carry heavy objects.

And because of its small size, it can stand very conveniently in narrow places that ordinary workers cannot reach.

Relying on the convenient functions of the system, Zuo Linqing rubbed the walls and roof by hand, and even used the remaining scraps to make a doghouse in the backyard.

"Done, done. It's great that no one comes to disturb us." Sarinko wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and stood outside the alchemy shop. His shop had an extra floor and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Finally, we don't have to sleep on the sofa anymore~" Sarinko nodded. Although a second layer was laid out, it was soon filled up with all kinds of furniture.

After all, what Saringo has the most in his backpack is a variety of furniture, which he can even take out and throw around as spell cards.

"Yeah, this way I can also find an empty place to stay. It was a bit crowded before." Ibuki Suika on the side comforted the little Suikas who were jumping around her seeking compliments, and took them back into her body one by one.

"Hey, but I didn't agree to let you live here." Sarinko showed a surprised expression.

"Eh?" Ibuki Suika also looked shocked. "Didn't we agree on this from the beginning?!"

"You didn't say anything..."

"I thought you opened the door and let me in, which meant you were willing to let me stay." Ibuki Suika took a sip of medicinal wine and laughed.

"You can live in the backyard...but in that case, I think you'd be better off living in the Hakurei Shrine." Sarinko said, touching his chin.

"You don't want me to live in that doghouse you made with scraps, do you?" Ibuki Suika suddenly thought of something, "Ringo, what a devil..."

"Ahaha, how could that be." Sarinko expressionlessly took out more wood and said, "Of course I'm going to build you another container house... No, I think I've drawn something like this..."

After saying this, Sarinko began to rummage through his backpack. He had packed so many things that it took a lot of effort just to find them.

"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to let a ghost live in the house." Meihong, who was sitting on the sofa eating bananas, couldn't help but complain.

"Ah, Meihong-san, you are so biased. I just want to find a place to rest temporarily." Ibuki Suika smiled with her eyes narrowed.

“…Then there’s no need to come here.” Meihong snorted.

After searching for a long time, Saringo finally found the props that people can live in.

"Found it! Let me see, the name of this item is..." Sarinko took out a small capsule and said, "Camping Capsule!"

"What is this?"

"As long as we plant this thing in the soil, it will automatically grow bigger and become a capsule room for one person." Sarinko said this, and went to the backyard with the two of them and planted the capsule in the soil.

Within a few breaths, the capsule turned into a spherical house that stood upright like a giant lollipop.

"Ah, there's a tree in my backyard, and the capsule is planted a little crooked... But it's not a big problem, let's go up and take a look." Sarinko said this, summoning Cosey to use gravity to control Meihong and Suika to fly into the camping capsule.

In addition to the bed, the capsule also has facilities such as a toilet and a shower. It can be said that although it is small, it has everything and is completely sufficient for Ibuki Suika's life.

"Ohh, what a great place, thank you Ringo!"

"Kukuku, I don't mind even if you praise me a few more times~"

"Great, Ringo, you actually have this magical tool~"

Yakumo Yukari appeared from somewhere!

Yakumo Yukari stuck out her tongue, trying to blend in with the others by being cute~

"You scared me! Please don't be so elusive! Suddenly appearing behind me or something..." Sarinko twitched his mouth. Yakumo Yukari's face was almost touching his. He somewhat understood why the Hakurei miko disliked Yakumo Yukari so much.

This guy is really shameless...

Chapter 188 Delicious Curry

Sarinko pushed the rushing Yakumo Yukari away from her shoulders and tidied her clothes in an orderly manner.

"Well, that's all." Sarinko said, "It's just a portable place to live. Gensokyo is such a small place, so you don't need this kind of thing."

"That's true, but this level of technology is already very amazing. This kind of thing doesn't even exist in the outside world. I'm really curious about where you got it, Applesauce." Yakumo Yukari said with a smile.

"It feels like using money to draw a lottery." Sarinko did not hide her ability. "By the way, I can also buy some potions and other things. They are all very expensive."

"Mm..."

"By the way, Ibuki Suika..."

"Just call me Suika, no need to be so polite." Ibuki Suika said with her hands on her hips.

"Well, Xigua, although I agree to let you stay here temporarily, it doesn't mean you can stay here forever. You have to understand this." Zoringo hugged his chest and said, "Unless you pay the rent every month, I can consider it."

"Oh, so harsh? But as for human money..." Ibuki Suika smacked her lips and said, "It's not impossible to get it."

"First of all, I want to make it clear that robbing the residents of the village is prohibited. If you are caught, I will kick you out without mercy."

"Hey, Apple, you are bullying me!" Ibuki Suika's face fell, and she said unhappily, "Isn't it just that some money was robbed? It's already a great deal to be able to escape by paying a little money when you are hit by the demon tribe."

"Well, if you have thoughts like this, even if you tell Hakurei Reimu, she won't care." Meihong interrupted, "I'm more suspicious that the shameless priestess might go crazy with hunger one day and rob passers-by..."

"Ha, ahahaha... Hey, I should have given Reimu-chan enough pocket money to live on~" Yakumo Yukari said with a laugh, not knowing how much exactly "enough" meant.

"Mmmmm, it really would feel a bit bad if I received the robbed money." Sarinko pinched his chin and suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Then just use your body to pay! After all, Japanese ghosts are like Western dragons, they are full of treasures, hehe..."

"Wow, Apple's expression suddenly becomes so scary!" Even Ibuki Suika felt a little scared when facing Saringo's aggressive gaze and fierce words, and she immediately hid behind the curtains in the room.

"Pay attention to your image, don't be like that guy, Yagi Eirin!" Meihong punched Sarinko on the head. "Does everyone who becomes a researcher become a pervert like this?"

"Oh my, that's hard to say. After all, I am full of curiosity about the truth~" After being beaten, Sarinko laughed triumphantly, "Kukuku, life is to burn yourself with the fire of struggle, exploration, and hard work!"

Meihong covered her forehead, feeling her head aching again. "I really hope you can learn some lessons after going through so many incidents."

"That's impossible. All the abnormalities will end. Everyone is working hard. I have to work harder." Sarinko pulled Ibuki Suika out from behind the curtains. "This won't work, so I'll have to reduce the rent. I was planning to charge you 5,000 yen a month, but since you don't have much money, I'll charge you 500 yen a month."

"Is there any difference between reducing the amount and not collecting it..."

Meihong was too lazy to continue complaining. After all, this guy Sarinko always had his way with things, and if she kept complaining about him, she would be making life difficult for herself.

"Oh, if it's only 500, I can still afford it." Ibuki Suika took out a few dirty copper coins from her pocket and put them in Sarinko's palm. "Here, this is for you. This is the money I use to buy wine."

“…So dirty.” Zoringo threw it into the backpack space with disdain, and directly made a single draw to consume these copper coins.

Colorful streams of light flew out of the Gachapon pool, and an R-level curry recipe skill book was drawn, which made Zoringo smack his lips. "It turns out that it's no good to draw cards with the fluke mentality that you might get something!"

But at least it is a skill book. After reading it, Zoringo will be able to learn how to make curry, and he can guarantee that the taste will be exactly the same as described in the book. It is still much better than drawing furniture, isn't it?

“…I’ll cook some curry for you.” Sarinko pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"Your thoughts are really out of line." Meihong couldn't help but complain, "Why did you suddenly change the topic to curry?"

"Well, since I got the skill to cook curry, I want to put it to good use." Saringo began to stuff various ingredients for curry into Meihong's palm. "Besides, it's almost time for lunch, so if we start preparing now, it should be just in time for lunch."

"Oh, then everyone who sees it should get a share~" Yakumo Yukari clapped her hands, attracting Saringo's attention, blinked her big watery eyes, and said cutely, "I'm already looking forward to tasting Saringo's cooking skills."

Sarinko shuddered and felt uncomfortable at Yakumo Yukari's cute behavior. "It's just an extra pair of chopsticks. Eat if you like."

Then he immediately jumped off the camping capsule and ran to the kitchen of the alchemy workshop.

"Oh hehe, I never get tired of teasing such a cute child."
