The heroines want to talk

It was another miserable failure in drawing cards, but it doesn't matter. Black Cat Phosphorus lost, but I, Xia, haven't lost yet!

"It's ten o'clock~, well, it's time to enter the dungeon."

Eriri should be asleep too.

She said in the afternoon that she didn’t sleep well in the past few days and was tired from reviewing.

Xia Shi felt sorry for her.

But it doesn’t matter, you can get plenty of sleep in the dungeon world!

Lying on the bed, Xia Shi silently accepted the copy mission with his mind.

'Enter.'

Chapter 287: Intruder at Hakurei Shrine

The sun is shining brightly in the morning.

In a shrine located at the eastern end of Gensokyo, a girl wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume was lying on the tatami floor of a room in the backyard of the shrine, gently waving a fan.

A leisurely life is really great. The summer vacation should be spent eating watermelon and hiding in the shade.

Moreover, I haven't encountered any unusual changes in a long time. This feeling of laziness is really addictive.

Reimu Hakurei took a bite of senbei while thinking about how she should rest today.

There was no sign of Marisa bothering him recently. Maybe she ate some unknown mushroom and fainted.

Or is she dealing with her relationship with those rumored girlfriends? Ling Meng recalled an issue of Wenwen News a long time ago, which said that the Black and White Magician and everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion were having an affair. Not only that, Wenwen News also added a lot of follow-ups after this issue, and she was always the victim.

Reimu didn't know why Reimu Marufumi always persecuted her, but she didn't bother to care.

"The room is so stuffy." Reimu crawled to the door.

A few seconds later.

Reimu looked at the half-open sliding door, listened to the cicadas outside, and decided it was time to find some way to escape the heat.

"It's so hot, I have to find a chance to catch an ice fairy."

That stupid fairy Cirno is probably a good choice.

But never mind... I'm too lazy to go.

Let's talk about it when she passes by one day.

After opening the door, Reimu felt much cooler with the help of the wind.

Reimu originally thought that she would continue to be lazy today.

Sadly, it didn’t last long.

"Reimu~Reimu~I'm here to drink with you~" A very cute and childish voice.

When Reimu heard the sound, she immediately closed the door.

"Reimu, please don't look down on me~ Look who I brought with me~."

Who?

There was another sound from outside the door.

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Let Cirno go~" There was a struggle, and Cirno introduced herself.

The stupid goblin passed by, although he was forced to do so.

Summer watermelon is here too. Although it sounds like a homonym, it does bring coolness.

Reimu pondered for a few seconds between the heat and the cold, then slowly opened the door.

Outside the door, a petite girl with two long horns on her head was holding a blue-haired little girl wearing a blue and white dress. The blue-haired little girl had an unhappy look on her face and was struggling constantly, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape from the ghost's hands because her hands were tied.

As the Ice Fairy moved, the surrounding heat gradually turned cold, and Reimu immediately showed a comfortable expression.

Ibuki Suika held Cirno in her left hand and held the wine flask that was originally hanging on her waist in her right hand. She took a sip and boasted, "How about it~ Reimu, this gift is good, isn't it?"

"Idiot! You actually said Cirno was a gift!" The Ice Fairy tried to increase his strength and released even colder air.

Reimu glanced at Cirno and said calmly: "With this little ability, it can't be cooled down at all. This stupid fairy is too weak."

"Cirno is not weak at all!! She's not stupid either!" Upon hearing this, the Ice Fairy tried her best to play the role of air conditioner.

Damn the witch and the ghost!!! Cirno is not an idiot!!

Reimu showed an expression that her plan had been completed, and Ibuki Suika also smiled slightly with a slightly red face. She seemed to be almost drunk and was in a somewhat confused state.

However, the time that Suika is sober is much less than the time she is drunk. Being drunk is her normal state. For Reimu, it would be abnormal if she were sober.

Perhaps there was a new change? Reimu would probably get this answer right away.

"Where is the wine you mentioned?" Reimu asked when she came into the room.

"You haven't finished what you brought last time, right? If it's not enough, there's still some here." Suika held up the Ibuki gourd in her hand.

Reimu knows that her wine flask can produce unlimited wine because the inside of the flask is coated with the extract of wine bugs. Wine bugs are a kind of ghost unique to the ghost country that can convert water into wine, but the taste is related to the quality of the wine bugs.

Reimu ran to the side room, took out the unfinished wine that the other party brought to the party last time, and placed it next to the tied-up Cirno. The two decided to wait until the wine cooled down before drinking it.

"Suika, please help me clean the dust in the yard later..." Reimu asked the other party.

At first, she thought that this ghost who came to her every day to drink was a nuisance, but later she changed her mind because the other party's ability was so useful.

[The ability to manipulate density], this ability can turn humans or objects into mist, or turn soil into hard stone, and can also be used for other things.

For example, gather together the dust in your yard.

Another example is gathering all the monsters together for a banquet. Thinking of this, Reimu felt a little annoyed.

The fact that Hakurei Shrine holds banquets every now and then is also somewhat related to the other party. Obviously, they want more human worshippers, but in the end, the majority of people coming to Hakurei Shrine are a group of monsters.

What is it about me that makes them like me? Can't I change it?

"Sure~" Suika looked at the drink next to Cirno and gave a simple answer.

"Speaking of which, there is something I have always been curious about." Ling Meng recalled the memories just now and asked, "Where did the first wine worm come from?"

"A friend gave it to me~" Suika looked nostalgic.

"Friends?" Reimu asked curiously.

Is it another kind of ghost?

"Well, he's an interesting human, and he's very strong." Ibuki Suika said slowly, "I remember it was one day in the Heian period. I was resting at the bottom of a mountain near Mount Oe, and suddenly a person fell from a tree and landed on me."

"And then?" It was the first time Reimu heard her talk about the past.

The Heian period, that was a story from a thousand years ago.

"Then I played around with him for a bit, and we became good friends."

Reimu felt that there was something hidden in this. Judging from the outside world's rumors, the other party did not have such a good temper at that time.

"All the things that happened to the demons afterwards were his ideas. Including trying to make money and avoiding extermination. However, many demons like to fight, and they get excited when they see Onmyoji. Later, too many demons died, so everyone gathered together and went to Gensokyo." Ibuki Suika continued: "Unfortunately, Gensokyo is not easy to live in. Demons eat people and people exterminate demons. It was originally a very balanced situation. However, the monster extermination craze that suddenly emerged in Gensokyo hundreds of years ago broke the balance, so our demons ran to hell."

Reimu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder there were no more demons in Gensokyo after the Hakurei Great Barrier was deployed. It turns out they all ran away.

"What about those ghosts at the fireworks festival?"

"To prevent fiscal deficits." Suika showed a sly smile, "The demon tribe that only appears during the fireworks festival, isn't this a good publicity gimmick~"

"How much can you make from a fireworks festival?" Reimu asked curiously.

Suika leaned close to her ear and whispered the number.

Reimu showed a shocked expression, which turned into envy after a few seconds.

When will Hakurei Shrine be able to make so much money at once?

Chapter 288 Waiting for the Ghost

It is the habit of monsters to hide during the day and come out at night. Events such as the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons mostly occur at night.

For humans, daytime is safe... probably.

On a tall tree, a handsome young man with black hair was lying on a branch with his eyes closed and taking a nap.

The surrounding environment is very hot, there is nothing we can do about it, after all it is summer now.

"It's summer in the copy world as well. I'm so unlucky." Xia Shi opened his eyes slightly and murmured softly.

On the tree trunk, a beetle the size of a basketball was lying there motionless.

I think Aikawa would be very excited when he sees this beetle.

...Not necessarily. Aikawa probably won't be able to defeat such a big beetle.

The world where gods and monsters exist is incredibly dangerous.

"When can we get out of this mountain?" Xia Shi rubbed his brows. He had already been groping in this mountain for a day.

Not to mention people, I couldn’t even see a road.

Xia Shi had tried to fly to the sky to find a way, but after observing from the sky, he found that he was surrounded by mountains. There was also supernatural power in this world, so Xia Shi didn't want to waste his physical strength.

"I don't know if Eriri is in danger." Xia Shi was a little worried.

Although the protection given to the opponent is sufficient, and the Goddess's Tear Necklace can be immune to "ferocious" level attacks, it is still worrying that I can't see the person.

[Master, the clone has not been activated yet. ]

This is Lily's voice, and she is now inside Xia Shi's body.

The clone was not activated, which meant that the other party was not in danger. Xia Shi had asked the sword spirit this question hundreds of times that day.

He couldn't even sense the location of his clone. His ability was too weak.

[Huh? You can have up to three clones? That’s four times the combat power! Not weak at all!]

Ah.

【? ? ? 】

Xia Shi lay on a tree branch, ready to wait for his prey. The open space below was filled with baits he had specially placed, including meat, wine, and treasures, all of which were items that were transformed from real to virtual.

He found many traces here yesterday. Although they did not look like signs of human activity, they were still clues.

Sit back and wait for the rabbit? Well, it would be more appropriate to say sit back and wait for the monster.

Since you don't know the way, just ask a local.

Suddenly, Xia Shi sat up.

Here it comes! The fish is hooked.

He looked towards the east and saw a small creature whose appearance could not be seen clearly emerging from the dense bushes.

The little guy was staggering, holding a wine saucer in his hand, and after taking a few sips he burped.

"A little ghost?" Xia Shi observed carefully.

The other party has two horns on its head, very much like the demons Xia Shi had seen in Western fantasy works before, but this is an island country, so it is probably a ghost tribe?

The clothes she was wearing were a white sleeveless shirt on the upper body and a white and purple skirt suit on the lower body.

The development of clothing in this world is a bit outrageous. Xia Shi touched his chin.

"Hmm? Coming." Xia Shi saw the kid walking towards him. After a while, he staggered and picked up the wine under the tree. The kid shook his head and hesitated for a few seconds, probably wondering why there was a bar under the tree?

When she looks up, I will jump down in a cool way that she will not expect! This is what Xia Shi planned.

A few seconds later.

"Bang!" The little ghost sat under the tree, picked up the jar of wine, held it up and tilted his little head back.

The two horns collided with the tree trunk.

"Shit!" Xia Shi's body shook and he fell directly from the tree.

During the free fall, many thoughts flashed through Xia Shi's mind.
