Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

驴！

"Wait a minute, something seems off!"

Lin Yuanshan, who was already delirious, suddenly became alert.

But it was too late.

Because the monstrous shouts behind him came faster than his alertness!

"Take this! Stun the donkey!"

When he woke up again:

Strange, why am I sleeping on the floor?

do not care!

That dark figure must be Xingge, who has ulterior motives!

watch out!

"Huh? The towel's dried out? Don't worry, I brought a whole bottle with me!"

"Huh? How come so much is missing?"

"It must have evaporated!"

Never mind, just add it to the towel!

watch out!

闷！

fall!

驴！

And so, you were trapped in a room with an endless loop.

An empty pond on the outskirts of Tokyo.

The azure autumn sky was reflected in the water, and the reeds on the shore swayed gently in the wind.

“Amitabha Buddha, releasing animals is an act of immeasurable merit, well done, well done.”

Lin Yuanshan clasped his hands together, his expression solemn, and muttered incantations, just like a highly accomplished monk.

A car battery lay at his feet, with two thick wires extending from the positive and negative terminals to a long metal rod, which he was holding in his hand and probing into the water.

Hatsune Miku squatted to the side, hugging her knees with both hands, her face full of incomprehension.

Looking at the sparks of electricity flashing beneath the water's surface, she suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the phrase "ghostly distant mountains."

Why would he talk about releasing animals while simultaneously plugging electricity into the water?

A hissing sound came from the water, and a faint smell of ozone wafted out.

Then, several fish with their white bellies turned up floated to the surface.

As Lin Yuanshan scooped the fish out of the net, he said:

"Haven't you recently felt that your merits have been deducted?"

"Come here and release one unit of electricity to increase your merit by 1!"

"I……"

Hatsune felt her cognitive system was being assaulted by some kind of sadistic monster.

"I feel that this will only result in more merit being deducted..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanshan turned his head.

"Strategist, your ideological awareness is still too low."

"While releasing electricity, we are also helping the fish in the pond escape their suffering and reach paradise as soon as possible."

"Look how peaceful they are now. They no longer have to worry about their next meal or being preyed upon by predators."

He pointed to the motionless fish in the net and spoke in a very serious tone.

""

Hatsune Miku completely gave up thinking.

In the end, she spent the whole morning with Lin Yuanshan, fishing for fish with electricity.

By the time the sun was high in the sky, there was no sign of any living creature swimming in the secluded pond.

The water was deathly still, with only the fish hauled ashore and piled up like small mountains as proof that life once existed here.

The fish in the pond were successfully wiped out.

"After you've eaten my Emperor Grilled Fish, you'd better serve me well from now on, Dark World Strategist!"

"This is probably what they call draining the pond to catch all the fish."

Hatsune took a grilled fish from Lin Yuanshan. The skin was crispy, but the flesh was surprisingly tender.

She said this with a heavy heart as she ate.

Lin Yuanshan had just finished grilling a fish and admired his masterpiece from head to toe.

Sure enough, the fish in the pond were cuter than the evil spirits that suddenly appeared.

He then ignored Hatsune's exclamation and took out sweet and sour sauce from his backpack, pouring it heavily over the grilled fish.

Then I took a satisfied bite.

That's it!

Hatsune Miku curiously peeked her head out:

"By the way, what you're making, shouldn't it be called West Lake Vinegar Fish in China?"

"Don't say that taboo name!"

"This is a proper grilled fish, it just happened to be sweet and sour!"

"Ingredients, procedures, cooking time, seasoning—every step embodies my supreme understanding of the way of cooking! It's completely different from those heretical practices! Completely different!"

Hatsune shook her head upon hearing this.

She doesn't understand this either.

Anyway, the salty fish that Lin Yuanshan grilled for her just now tasted surprisingly good.

This one is definitely inferior.

Miyamizu Shrine.

"Aine, since you don't believe in the gods of our shrine, why did you make a special trip here?"

"I've come to fulfill a vow."

Ai Yin's expression was serious.

Four-Leaf asked curiously:

"Did you see your lover?"

"Do not."

Aine shook her head.

“But I dreamt about him. He said he was very happy down there and asked me to burn more dump trucks for him.”

"Then your lover must have taken on a big project in the underworld."

"You're right. Should I burn some excavators or something for him?"

Yotsuba covers her face:

"Why don't you burn two more excavator drivers for him? Those are skilled jobs, and it might be hard to find them in the underworld."

"As expected of a shrine maiden, she always thinks of details I wouldn't even consider."

Seeing that Aine was actually taking out her phone to place an order, Yotsuba finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped her.

"Fine, fine! Consider it my good deed for today! I'll pinpoint your lover's exact location for free, no charge!"

"Huh? Shrine maidens offer this kind of service? That's so advanced!"

Theoretically speaking, there isn't.

Furthermore, Yotsuba Miyamizu herself does not possess such a strong ability to summon and locate enemies.

But her sister has it.

So, she first asked Ai Yin for the first and last characters of her "lover's" name.

Then, he sent the two characters "林" (lin, meaning forest) and "山" (shan, meaning mountain) that he was going to receive via text message to his sister Sanye, who was on a business trip in another city.

Soon, the older sister responded:

He died in a plane crash.

"Huh? Really dead? Could it be that there was something wrong with the knots I sold?"

Before her self-doubt could even take hold, her sister's second text message arrived.

[No, it's alive again.]

"Phew... So my sister miscalculated. That scared me to death."

Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, a third text message followed, filled with confusion.

[Died again, probably from the wrong anesthesia, starved to death!?]

Why did they starve to death?

This is illogical!

The older sister on the other end seemed to have figured out something that couldn't be analyzed by the human brain.

Watching my sister start her left and right brain brains working together.

Cold sweat beaded on Yotsuba's forehead. She turned to Aine, who was looking at her expectantly, and forced a dry laugh:

"Your lover is indeed a bit special, the situation is rather complicated, let's calculate it again."

Mitsuha on the other end of the phone:

[It's alive! It's alive! It's alive again!]

【I see!】

In the next text message, Yotsuba seemed to see her sister's relieved smile.

What you sent me isn't even human!

Who asked you to do their fortune telling? Quickly send her a talisman to ward off evil spirits!

So, Aine watched herself after she sent her name.

The shrine maiden before us first made bold statements,
