Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

Looking at the deer leg brought by Fujiwara no Momoko, Reimu Marufumi struggled to look away.

She was sure that if she ate anything other than mushrooms at this stage, she would find it even harder to swallow the mushrooms, which would delay her departure, and she would even have to use greater willpower to endure the taste of the mushrooms in the future.

"Oh~~ You really don't want it. I didn't believe you when Jiang Chen said you definitely wouldn't want it."

"If you know that, don't take it. My concentration isn't that good."

"But you've been here for a month, and you only eat mushrooms every day. You must want to eat something else."

"All your patience now is for the victory later!!!"

"To be honest, I think this mushroom is pretty good."

Looking at Reimu Hōrō with a distorted face, Fujiwara no Momoko seemed a little puzzled. She took a mushroom from the pile, the flame on her hand quickly ignited and then went out. Then she stuffed the grilled mushroom into her mouth and found that it tasted not bad.

"Tsk, your fire control ability is so good."

In response, Reimu Marufumi just smacked his lips and didn't want to say more to her.

The main reason was that Reimu Maru was not very skilled in using the Tengu Fire. Although it could be used, it was either too big or too small, and it was basically impossible to roast the mushrooms to perfection.

Therefore, most of the time, Reimu Maru Bun would just eat the mushrooms raw. Although the taste of raw mushrooms was not bad, it was not delicious either.

Occasionally, the flavor is adjusted by roasting or boiling, but other than the difference in taste, they are almost the same, because there is no seasoning to flavor the mushrooms.

Therefore, from the perspective of efficiency, it is faster to just eat it raw without processing anything.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something important. It seems that your monster mountain has almost stopped. Daitengu asked me to tell you to go back directly after eating your mushrooms."

"Huh? Wait, didn't the Youkai Mountain say it would take three months to stop?"

"After you came last time, the general felt that a monster like you was too long to stay in this area for three months, so he went out to deal with it."

"Is there a way to deal with the effects of that eruption? Seriously, who is that guy?"

Hearing that Kaishin Shoin could even handle the massive eruption of the Monster Mountain, Reimu Marufumi's head hurt even more. She once again realized that it was a very stupid decision for her to come here and eavesdrop.

"A general is a general. Why don't you try to burn this with fire?"

Although there are still half of the mushrooms, the condition for Reimu Marufumi to leave is to burn the chain.

Then these days Fujiwara no Mokou only read Reimu Maru and ate mushrooms, and did not move the chain at all, which made her a little strange.

"How could these chains mixed with his blood possibly burn off? I can tell at a glance that eating these mushrooms is the correct solution!"

"Is that right?"

Out of curiosity, Fujiwara no Mokou released a little flame onto the chain.

Unfortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and the chains baked by the flames did not change at all.

"So I told you, it's useless, we need something more practical... Wait, you're leaving now? Take your deer leg with you too!"

Seeing that the chain did not respond, Fujiwara no Mokou shook her head and turned to leave, but did not take the deer leg away.

After all, this was originally what she was going to give to Reimu Marufumi.

"I'm being tested...but how could I be the kind of person who would pursue pleasure? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Looking at the deer leg beside him, Reimu Maru swallowed his saliva, moved his gaze aside, and resolutely did not let himself waver.

She knew that once she chose to pick up the deer leg, she would not be able to swallow the mushrooms for a long time.

"No one should see it, right?"

After resisting for less than a moment, Reimu Marufumi looked around, observing whether Fujiwara no Mokou had really left, while his body approached the deer leg cautiously.

After a battle of wits and courage with the air, Reimu Marufumi reached out to the deer leg, gently caressing the texture, touch, and elasticity of the meat as if he was caressing a lover he had not seen for many years.

Her saliva flowed unconsciously, causing her to swallow.

"It should be fine if you just relax for a while... After all, it's just some meat, mushrooms, etc., you can eat them later."

Even as she spoke words that she herself did not quite believe, Reimu Marufumi was full of determination.

next day

“I hate mushrooms!!!”

A roar louder than ever before came from the brick house.

Chapter 142: Chatting People to Death

"Isn't that house going to be cleaned up?"

When the long winter passed and the ice and snow melted, Reimu Maru Bun, who was originally in the brick house, disappeared.

The bundle of chains was still intact, but there was not a single remnant left of the man-high pile of mushrooms.

Apparently he had finished eating the mushrooms, completed his punishment and left.

"Keep it, maybe you'll need it in the future."

"Eh...will it still be used?"

Thinking about how Reimu Marufumi was like a fish bouncing on the shore due to lack of oxygen in her last few days, Fujiwara no Mokou felt that the other party would definitely not dare to come over again.

"By the way, how's your spell practice going lately?"

【boom! 】

Fujiwara no Mokou did not use words, but directly ignited a huge ball of flame on her hand to show it to Kaishin Shōomi to express her efforts in this stage.

"Hmm~ You have a strong talent for fire magic. Basic self-protection should be no problem."

Considering the time Fujiwara no Momoko had spent learning magic, it was quite remarkable that the flames could reach this level.

'Tread' 'Tread' 'Tread'

Just as the two were talking, a familiar sound of footsteps came from the side.

“Ahhh!! You’re all here. Looks like we didn’t go wrong this time… hiccup.”

Walking over from the side was Ibuki Suika, who looked drunk.

"Hey, you came back from the west?"

Seeing that the person coming was Ibuki Suika, Kaishin Shōchen was quite surprised. He had originally planned to find her in the west when he had time.

Unexpectedly, after only a few months, the other party came back from the west on his own.

"West? Where is West? Do you want to drink more than this?"

Ibuki Suika had no idea that she had been lost for several months. As soon as she arrived, she picked up her wine jug, took out a large wine bowl, poured a large glass of wine into it and handed it over.

"It tastes just as good as always. Hey, is there something extra on your horn?"

While drinking the wine poured by the other party, Kaishin Shōchen suddenly noticed that there was suddenly a dark green bow ribbon on the horn on Ibuki Suika's head.

If his memory served him correctly, there shouldn't have been this thing on the opponent's corner when he saw it before.

"This? Haha, it's pretty good, isn't it? A human witch gave it to me on the way back. I think it suits me very well."

"A human witch?"

Kaishin Shōomi had never heard of any interactions between Ibuki Suika and any human priestess in her early years, but these were all trivial matters and he was just a little curious.

"Haha, you care a lot, a lot, don't you? Listen to me, that human witch is really interesting. She's not afraid of me at all and even wants to be friends with me."

"No, wait, it would be strange if you were scary like this."

Kaishin Shōchen glanced at Ibuki Suika, and to be honest, he had never seen anything scary about Ibuki Suika's appearance.

"What are you talking about? Ordinary people would definitely be scared if they saw me. Look at the perfect horns on my head. Don't bring your thoughts into ordinary humans."

Ibuki Suika pointed to the inhuman horns on her head and answered with certainty.

All the generals and ministers hesitated for a moment, and realized that what the other party said seemed to be true.

In this era, ordinary people have a fear of beings with inhuman characteristics.

Not to mention whether it was Ibuki Suika or Tongyan Dakaku, this almost revealed the other party's identity as a demon.

Before normal people cared about her appearance, these things had already captured their attention.

"That's it, then. And you, why didn't you stay with the human witch for a while longer? Was it because the other villagers started to chase you away?"

Now that he has met a shrine maiden who wants to be friends with Ibuki Suika, Kaishin Shōomi is curious as to why she came back so soon. Normally, shouldn't she wait until the aftertaste of winter has completely passed?

So he guessed that the trouble must have been caused by the shrine maiden taking in Ibuki Suika.

After all, if a shrine maiden and a ghost often appear together, it will definitely be talked about by other people in the village.

"Jiang Chen, please don't always think so badly of humans. The villagers are also very nice. At least they don't get startled when they see me."

"So you are?"

"Hmm...how should I put it? Well, let's be frank. That miko died not long ago, and I had no reason to stay in the other village, so I rushed back."

"So...wait a minute?"

Ibuki Suika spoke very lightly, and Kaishinjo nodded in agreement out of habit, but suddenly he realized something was wrong and interrupted her immediately.

"You mean to say that the miko who tied this bow for you died? Was it murder or suicide or something else?!"

After extracting the key points from the words, the generals and ministers of the gods asked additionally, "This is a very crucial matter."

"Don't worry, nothing happened. The witch just chatted with me late one day. The next day she caught a cold. A few days later, her cold got worse. In the end, she didn't make it..."

Ibuki Suika said it lightly, but Kaishin Shōomi didn't think that the other party would be as calm as she seemed.

In fact, he felt strange at first.

Although Ibuki Suika drinks, she is very careful with her drinking and always controls herself to a half-drunk state instead of being completely drunk like today.

The other party obviously cares about this matter.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal, if you put yourself in Ibuki Suika's perspective.

It's like chatting with a friend you just met, and then talking to death.

"…………I'll drink with you today, Meihong, go downstairs and call Yongyi up, don't give this guy a chance to breathe."

"Oh, oh, I'm not afraid even if it's two against one. I never lose out when it comes to drinking."

Although Ibuki Suika was drunk, the advantage of being drunk all year round is that even when drunk, she still has a certain degree of thinking ability.

You won't end up drinking so much that you lose your memory like someone who never drinks.

"Drink, drink!"

Kaishin Shōchen kept urging people to drink, not giving Ibuki Suika the chance to say much.

The other party was also very cooperative, swallowing bowl after bowl of wine. That petite body swallowed a completely disproportionate amount of wine.

However, halfway through drinking, Ibuki Suika still sighed.

"Why do humans always die so easily......"

After saying this, Hoshiguma Yugi followed the cave dug by Kaishin Shōomi, walked all the way from underground to the surface, greeted Ibuki Suika with a smile, and the two began a drinking contest.

As a result, the generals and ministers standing by missed the opportunity to reply.

But to be honest, even if he was asked to say something about this matter, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

Chapter 143: Beads

Time is something that is very hard to obtain, yet very easy to lose.

According to the theory of relativity, everyone's perception of time is different.

By the time all the gods and generals noticed him, he had already spent quite a long time here, watching the changing of seasons, the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the coming and going of spring and autumn have cycled quite a few times.

During this long period of time, he became very familiar with the monsters here, and compared to before, he could be considered a local.

Even the humans nearby began to calm down as time passed, and began to worship him as a true guardian deity.
