"It's really bad fun."

Fujiwara no Moeko shook her head, and followed Sarinko back to the alchemy workshop with the ingredients, leaving Yakumo Yukari and Ibuki Suika looking at each other.

"Hmm~ There are only two of us left, so I'll go home first and tell Lan that she doesn't have to cook my lunch." Yakumo Yukari fell back into the gap, "See you at lunch time later~"

“Wooah——” Ignoring Yakumo Yukari’s departure, Ibuki Suika stretched her body and collapsed on the bed. “Ah, this bed is so soft and comfortable…Zzz”

……

Suika was awakened by the rich aroma of curry, and in a dazed state, she sleepwalked to the dining table of the alchemy workshop.

"Mmm, it smells so good..."

"I thought you would just sleep through the curry."

Wearing a simple dark green apron, Sarinko turned from the stove and looked at Ibuki Suika. She quickly put the curry on a plate and said, "Sorry for the long wait. This is LeBron's special curry."

A plate of golden curry with a strong curry aroma and tender and delicious beef was presented to Ibuki Suika.

"Yabai, I might fall in love with this fragrance." Ibuki Suika took two deep sniffs of the rich curry aroma, believing that food with this aroma must taste good.

"Then I'll start!"

"Oh, wait, wait, Suika, how could you run away alone?" One hand stopped Ibuki Suika's spoon, and Yakumo Yukari walked out of the gap slowly and saluted. "Hello everyone, I brought my Lan and Orange with me, I hope you don't mind too much."

“…How shameless.” Meihong, who was standing next to Sarinko, twitched her lips and said bluntly.

"I'm sorry, Lady Du Zi had to... cause you trouble." Yakumo Aoi came out from the gap, and the first thing he did was to apologize. Being suddenly forced to come in for a meal or something made Yakumo Aoi, who had a strong self-esteem, feel a little embarrassed.

“…What a nice smell, meow. I'm already looking forward to it, Lord Aran~” Orange, who was following behind Yakumo Aran, smelled the rich aroma of curry as soon as he came in and tugged at the corner of Yakumo Aran's clothes.

"Ah this..."

"Anyway, the amount is big enough, so it's okay." Zoringo took a look at the curry in the pot, patted Meihong's shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave it to you to share the curry."

The alchemy workshop is not very big, and with so many people squeezed into a small room, it felt very crowded, but they still enjoyed their curry with great enthusiasm.

"Gu, this tastes so spicy, but so delicious..." Yakumo Yukari was caught off guard by the rich and pungent spicy taste that even brought tears to her eyes, but she still did not give up and stuffed the next spoonful of curry rice into her mouth.

"Really? I think this level of spiciness is just okay." Ibuki Suika narrowed her eyes. Maybe it was because she was used to drinking strong liquor, so this level of spiciness was just right for her and made the curry even more flavorful.

"It's so hot, meow, but I really want to eat it, meow..." Orange looked around at the people who had already eaten the curry, and said unwillingly.

Cat tongue can't eat such hot food.

"This taste probably doesn't suit Orange's taste...it's a bit too spicy." Yakumo Lan touched Orange's head and tried hard not to make any strange noises in order to maintain his dignity.

"Why are you making so much of a scene just for a curry meal?" Meihong sneered at the unbearable crowd, then turned around and handed the empty plate to Sarinko, "Apple, another bowl."

"Yes Yes."

Chapter 189: Don’t answer a question with a question!

Everyone was attracted by the delicious curry rice and ate the curry rice in front of them. It swept up the entire pot like a whirlwind and all the rice in the rice cooker was emptied.

"Ah, I'm full, it was the right decision to come here for a free meal~" Yakumo Yukari sighed, stroking her bulging belly.

"Lady Murasaki... it's not good to overeat like this." Although it was indeed delicious, Yakumo Aoi still controlled her desire firmly and finished the last bite like a lady.

Because Cheng was afraid of spicy food and cat's tongue, he hadn't finished the first plate. He kept drinking milk because of the spiciness and couldn't eat any more.

"Hehe~ It's a rare occasion to eat, so what's the big deal." Yakumo Yukari pressed down her belly, pointed at Cheng and said, "Cheng, if you can't finish it, don't keep it to yourself, it's okay to let the adults take care of it."

"Huh, are you even starting to snatch children's things?" Meihong sat on the sofa and didn't want to move for the time being, but she couldn't help but complain, "You're still looking for this kind of excuse, how shameless."

"Rob? I didn't say I wanted to rob him. I just couldn't bear to see Cheng looking so pitiful~"

Seeing that Yakumo Yukari liked the dish so much, Yakumo Aoi couldn't help but ask Saringo, "Master Ringo, do you have any secret recipe for this curry that makes it so delicious?"

"Here, the recipe is here." After learning the skills in the skill book, it will become an ordinary book. So Saringo threw the curry rice recipe in the backpack to Yakumo Aoi. "It doesn't matter if you don't give it back to me. I have mastered it all."

"No, that's not right... I will definitely return it to Lord Ringo after I finish my research." Yakumo Aoi shook his head and said solemnly.

"Uh, whatever you like."

"According to the recipe, this curry rice would be best eaten with a cup of coffee, but I only have coffee milk here." Saringo said, pulling out a bottle of coffee milk sold by Gensokyo Bathhouse from his backpack. No one knew how they made it.

"Oh, that's so thoughtful. Please give me one bottle too!" Yakumo Yukari asked shamelessly.

"There's no share for you~ I bought this before." Zoringo rolled his eyes, opened the cap of the milk bottle with a flick of his thumb, gulped the iced coffee milk into his mouth, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Uh, so stingy." Yakumo Yukari was not annoyed. She reached her hand into the gap and took out more coffee milk. "Clang clang~ Don't think you can stump me like this. It's just a few bottles of coffee milk. It's no big deal~"

"Lord Zi, did you remember to hand over the money to the other party..." Yakumo Lan said, holding his forehead.

"Of course I did. How could I do such a sneaky thing~" Yakumo Yukari covered her cheek and chuckled, "You didn't see the look on the old man's face when he saw the gap, as if he had seen a ghost."

"You look the same when you see me? I don't think I look like someone who would scare people away, do I?" Ibuki Suika stroked her chin and asked Sarinko, "Apple, I look okay, right?"

"She's more pleasing to the eye than Yakumo Yukari, right?" Sarinko nodded and said casually, "She's just not as cute as me."

"Oh, I can't pretend I didn't hear you." Yakumo Zi narrowed her eyes and said with a dangerous tone.

"..." Feeling threatened by Yakumo Yukari, Sarinko simply shut up about the matter. He turned hostile without hesitation. What a terrible old man...

As if she understood what was going on in Sarinko's head, Yakumo Yukari smiled and made a hole under Sarinko's feet. Sarinko reacted very quickly, split his legs and supported himself firmly on the floor without opening the gap.

"No, there's no need to do that." Sarinko twitched his lips and said with all his strength.

"After all, that conceited kid seemed to be thinking about something weird just now, so it's natural for me to be angry~"

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have been thinking about such nonsense. Quickly withdraw your magical power. I can't hold on any longer..." The gap under his feet was getting bigger and bigger. Zorinko couldn't help but look down and was frightened to death on the spot.

It seemed that he saw strong men with white cloths covering their heads doing group sex in the gap, and when they saw Sarinko, they waved at her.

"Do you like ♂Van game?"

“…Sister, sister, sister Hong, come and help me quickly!” Sarinko suddenly felt his scalp tingling and he couldn’t speak clearly.

"There's really nothing I can do about you. Hey, Yakumo Yukari, it's time to stop scaring kids." Meihong came over and pulled Sarinko up, watching her hide behind her again. She only dared to stick her eyes out to observe her secretly.

"Ah, there's nothing I can do ~ After all, apples are so interesting. If you scare them, they'll take it seriously. I never get tired of playing with them." Yakumo Yukari held her cheeks, feeling as if her skin had become smooth because of the pleasure.

As for how serious her actions were, I'm afraid only she herself knows.

"You really have a bad taste, Zi." Ibuki Suika took a sip of her drink and staggered out the door. "Then I should go out for a walk and learn about what kind of place Gensokyo is. See you tonight!"

"Don't get so drunk that you can't even find the door here." Sarinko reminded from behind Meihong.

Ibuki Suika just waved her hand and left from the door, and Yakumo Ran and Orange also wanted to say goodbye.

"I'm sorry that Lord Murasaki's willfulness has caused you trouble, Lord Ringo." Yakumo Lan bowed deeply, glanced at Yakumo Murasaki who was lying on the table and said, "Thank you for the lunch. I won't stay here any longer, Lord Murasaki. It's time for us to leave."

"I don't want it~ There are external shikigami to play with here. Anyway, there is nothing to do when I go back. I want to play here until night..." Yakumo Yukari lay on the table, with a puffy face, watching the TV playing meaningless content.

It seems that TV signals from the outside world can be received in Gensokyo, which is a very convenient setting.

"Really? Please don't cause trouble to Lady Ringo anymore." As Yukari's shikigami, Yakumo Aoi couldn't force her to go back. She could only sigh helplessly and said to Meihong and Saringo, "Lady Yukari, I can only ask you to continue to take care of her for a while."

After saying that, he opened a gap and took Orange away. He was a little bit overwhelmed by Yakumo Yukari's thick skin.

"Just go back here!" Meihong complained to Yakumo Yukari, who had completely treated the alchemy shop as her own.

"Eh?" Yakumo Yukari was pressing the power button to turn on the PS4 game console.

"Hey, you turned on the game console so naturally. How many months have you been spying on it?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it. It won't take long, right?"

Chapter 190: It's time to clean up before the rainy season

Another two weeks have passed. Due to the sudden changes, spring has passed in a flash, and the weather has begun to show signs of warming up.

"The rainy season will begin in a few days. Given the living environment in Gensokyo, I feel like a lot of things will get moldy." Saringo was wrapped in a blanket, lying on the sofa, playing games with a fan in the air. There was a bottle of wisdom potion that smelled like happy water on the table.

"I don't know if they've ever won a dehumidifier... I think they have."

Sarinko was half lying casually, and at this moment, the annoying voice of Marisa came from outside the window.

"Hey, Apple, are you home... Oh oh, you are home as expected, open the door quickly, something bad has happened!" Marisa knocked on the window loudly, giving Sarinko a headache.

"So, what happened again?"

……

"That's it?"

Zoringo had dead eyes and was wearing an apron, mask and hat to prevent his clothes and hair from getting dirty with dust. He looked like he was about to start cleaning.

"Is this what you call a big disaster? I thought Mr. Morichika was kidnapped by a monster."

"Yeah, that's right. I promised Xianglin that I would accompany him to do the general cleaning before the rainy season, but unexpectedly I didn't have time today, so the first thing I thought of was you, my good friend~~Apple!" Marisa smiled without any embarrassment, making Zorinko want to call out Cosey to peck her hard.

"Oh... Actually, I'm quite busy today. Please allow me to say goodbye now." Sarinko took off his mask and was about to wave goodbye.

"No way, I just saw you lying on the sofa doing nothing and looking quite idle." Marisa complained, pinching her chin.

"This is also a must-do in my daily life, man, so that's it~"

"Actually, I can pay you to clean Korin-do." Morichika Rinnosuke pushed his glasses and said as he looked at Sarinko who had already stepped half a foot out of the door.

Suddenly, Sarinko stopped, turned back at an incredible speed, and poked Morichika Rinnosuke with his elbow.

"You should have told me earlier. Actually, I like helping others the most. It makes me happy. It's just cleaning, right? It's a piece of cake for me. You can definitely do it by leaving it to me."

"It seems that when it comes to money, your desires are getting closer to Reimu... How should I put it, I'm so worried that someone will use 100,000 yen to kidnap you." Marisa looked at Sarinko's behavior and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Aha, how could that be." Zorinko smiled, then said with a gloomy face, "I will pretend to compromise, and then when that person lets down his guard and isn't paying attention, I will slide behind him and snatch the 100,000, then punch him and empty his wallet."

"...Ah this."

Morichika Rinnosuke pushed up his glasses and a drop of cold sweat fell from his face, as if he had imagined the scene described by Sarinko. He coughed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Sarinko, I'm afraid you won't be able to use your martial arts today. I have no intention of deceiving you."

"Originally, after I knew that Marisa was in trouble, I planned to treat the cleaning as a task, hanging in the human world. As long as someone takes it before the rainy season comes, it's not too urgent."

"But Marisa said she would ask a very strong person to take over her help, so I waited here. I didn't expect it to be you." A white light flashed in Morichika Rinnosuke's glasses. "A mediocre person in the human world."

"Pfft, what a weird title, pfft."

"...Yes, that's me." Sarinko punched Marisa on the head, silencing her, and then continued, "Mr. Morichika is an acquaintance, so let's get to work."

"That's a real help, let's get started."

……

In addition to the broom and feather duster provided by Morichika Rinnosuke, Sarinko also took out a sweeping robot from his backpack.

"It's called Earth Treasure? ... Is it another shikigami from the outside world?" Morichika Rinnosuke used his ability to find out the name of the circular device crawling on the ground, and touched it with his hand. "It's really magical."

The sweeping robot bypassed Morichika Rinnosuke's obstruction and continued to clean up the dust on the ground. Except for some narrow places, it was able to clean them all.

"Oh, it's so easy to clean the room." Marisa looked at the robot vacuum cleaner Deebot with envy and said, "Apple, why don't you lend it to me for a few days?"

"I refuse. Not to mention that the things I lend you may never come back, the mess in your house is not something a robot vacuum cleaner can handle." Sarinko packed the accumulated goods of Korindo into wooden boxes and said to Marisa, "Not to mention that a robot vacuum cleaner needs a power source, and you don't have a place to charge it, so it will run out of power after one or two uses."

"Speaking of which, Apple, most of your props require a power source. I wonder if the Kappas on the mountain can help me install one..."

"Let me make it clear first, you can't borrow from me... If you want something, you have to pay for it!" Sarinko gave a wicked smile. "After all, the things are in my system backpack. Marisa, you can't steal them even if you want to."

"Hey, Apple is so stingy. It turns out that she has turned into Reimu... How strange. You haven't seen her many times." Marisa was disappointed.

"Why do you have time to chat? Don't you have something to do? Why haven't you left yet?" Sarinko glanced at Marisa and said.

"Yes, it is time to leave! I will introduce you to a job next time~"

"No need for that... Manager, you're really in the way standing here, can you please go outside?" After watching Marisa leave, Sarinko said to Morichika Rinnosuke, who was leaning against the wall, flipping through old things and reminiscing.

"But I'm sorting it out, although I start to recall the past when I'm not paying attention." Morichika Rinnosuke pushed his glasses and said embarrassedly.

"There's no need. The dust has been cleaned. It's up to you now, Cosi!" Zoringo summoned the guardian spirit in his body, the gravity phoenix Cosi. Under its control, the objects in the room began to move and be classified by themselves.

In just a few breaths, the originally messy Korin-do was tidied up, and then Sarinko took out quicklime and mothballs and handed them to Morichika Rinnosuke.

"Then put these two things next to the items that need to be protected from moisture, and you should be able to survive the rainy season." Sarinko covered one eye with his hand. "Kuku, I've already told you that this is just a piece of cake for me."

“…As expected of you, although the placement of some things is not what I expected, never mind, at least it looks much brighter.” Morichika Rinnosuke managed a small smile on his expressionless face. “This is your reward, it’s not much.”

"Well, it's indeed not a lot..." Sarinko looked at the 5,000 yen in his hand and couldn't help but twitching his lips.

It's just like the pocket money that a kid who helps with housework gets, but with a little more... I really shouldn't have expected anything from him.

Morichika Rinnosuke seemed to see that Sarinko was not satisfied, and said a little embarrassedly, "It seems that it is indeed a bit too little. After all, it is prepared for Marisa... How about I give you some tea soba noodles or something like that as compensation."

"A large one, please, thank you."
