But when he saw the three big words "Niutunting" written on the tavern sign, he was stunned.
"Niu Tun Ting? I remember... it seems to be in Dongfang Zui Die Hua?"
Dongfang Zuidihua is an official Dongfang comic with a very cute style. The main character is the owner of this store.
"I remember that the proprietress of this shop was a drunkard, the drunkard in the Cuixiang wine gourd, and her name was... uh..."
Well, I can’t remember.
But it didn't matter. Xiangbei still remembered that the food in this restaurant should taste good, otherwise he wouldn't have been dragged there to be the chef for the banquet in the comic plot. Thinking of this, Xiangbei walked into the tavern.
"Ah, welcome!"
Seeing a guest coming in, Okunoda Miyo greeted him warmly.
This is a very cute girl with short pink curly hair, turquoise eyes, and a very conspicuous blue whale-shaped hat.
I remember this one being the shop girl? With such a unique look, does anyone really think she's a monster? After all, the monsters in Gensokyo all dress quite uniquely.
After finding a random seat and sitting down, Xiangbei asked Okunoda Miyoshi.
“Any dishes you recommend?”
"Yes, our stew is a real specialty. Would you like one?"
"Then have one."
"Okay, please wait~"
Chicken stewed with mushrooms and pork stewed with vermicelli are both stews, but Japanese stews... Xiangbei doesn't know much about them. He just vaguely remembers that cream seems to be added to Japanese stews?
Uh... I feel like it will taste very greasy, but there probably isn't any cream in Gensokyo, and the best dish of this shop beauty in the original work is stew, so I'm still looking forward to it.
Just as Xiangbei was waiting for the food to be served, a beautiful voice attracted his attention.
She was a girl with red eyes and short red hair tied in twin tails, wearing a left-breasted dress. She was also a very beautiful person... It would be better to say that there are basically no ugly people in Gensokyo, and the looks of everyone are average.
Even in Gensokyo, she could be considered a great beauty. However, even such a great beauty had an extremely unrestrained drinking attitude.
"Damn! We're being dragged out to work overtime in the middle of the night. Ugh... Lord Shiki really doesn't treat us as the gods of death. We were cattle and horses in life, and we're still cattle and horses after death... We're simply the worst of cattle and horses!"
Well, it seems that the identity of this girl is about to be revealed. In addition to her words, there is also her most conspicuous and prominent feature.
Look north in that direction.
Big, really too big.
Xiangbei had only seen one that big online, but this was the first time he had seen one in person...
Such a large sickle is eye-catching just by being placed there, and it also exudes a faint sense of oppression.
Onozuka Komachi is the name of this god of death. I don’t know why she is here. In Xiangbei’s opinion, she should appear more often in the Night Sparrow Restaurant?
Because Onozuka Komachi's image was too bold, or too eye-catching, and the sickle beside her was really intimidating, although there were many guests in the entire tavern, no one sat around her.
Except to the north.
I was just looking for a quiet place to sit down, and when I sat down I noticed that there was a Grim Reaper next to me.
Well, it doesn’t matter. It won’t disturb me while I’m eating.
Just when Xiangbei wanted to turn his head away, daydream or chat with the two people in his body to pass the time, he suddenly seemed to see something and turned his head back.
After confirming that he was not mistaken, Xiangbei sighed slightly, and his originally excited mood also dropped.
The job of the god of death is to escort the souls of the dead. Onozuka Komachi's job is to ferry the souls of the dead across the Sanzu River. However, sometimes he will come to Gensokyo, harvest the souls of the dead in Gensokyo, and then escort them to the Sanzu River.
This is also one of the reasons why the Grim Reaper is feared and despised, because wherever they go, people will die...even though the cause of death is not caused by them.
What other reason could there be for the god of death to come to the human world so late at night except to slack off?
Of course, it is here to take away the souls of the dead.
The souls of the dead can only be seen by gods of death like Onozuka Komachi, or beings with special abilities like Saigyouji Yuyuko. Unfortunately, Xiangbei also has the ability to see souls.
On the Grim Reaper's scythe, there was a face he was familiar with.
"Master Jiugong...Alas..."
Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 194: Traveling Through Time—This is What Happened in the New World?!
Master Jiugong, Xiangbei only knew him as Master Jiugong, his surname was Jiugong, and he was the grandfather of the girl who opened the cake shop, Jiugong Liuli.
In fact, Xiangbei himself didn’t know what Jiugong Ye’s full name was.
It’s simple, because I’m not familiar with it.
After all, they didn't communicate much, and the few times they did communicate were only when Ai Ge was around.
Xiangbei's biggest impression of this old man was that although his surname was not Qin, he was a clerk in a sunflower shop... and he seemed to have been working there for decades. Even though he was so old that it was difficult for him to move a pot of flowers, he still chose to stay there day after day.
There may be some stories behind this, but Xiangbei didn't want to delve into it, and he didn't ask even when he met Fengjian Youxiang later.
He remembered that he was afraid that the old man might accidentally fall or kill himself because of his hard work all day, so he used Wuwei Transformation to cure his various minor ailments.
However, he did not make any major changes, but only treated some minor illnesses, such as osteoporosis and arthritis that are common in the elderly.
If he made some major changes, such as completely adjusting Jiugong Ye's body functions and restoring all his organs to their peak state in their youth, he would definitely live longer.
So when he saw Jiugong Ye's soul, Xiangbei couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but it soon dissipated.
After all, Master Jiugong is quite old... probably around ninety years old, which is considered a long life even in the outside world, let alone in Gensokyo.
But... seeing him become like this, Xiangbei still felt a little emotional.
Perhaps in a few decades, Reimu and Marisa will also become like this.
As for myself, because I possess Tianyuan's immortal technique and the ability of inaction transformation, I should be able to live longer than them. Surviving for two, three, four or five hundred years should not be a problem.
However, compared with monsters, it is still far behind. Unless he can master the true secret of immortality during this period of time, he can only prolong his life by assimilating with astral plasma or becoming a monster... and he will most likely choose the latter.
Jiugong Ye's soul seemed to still retain consciousness, but it was not awake. He seemed to be asleep... It was strange to say, how could the soul be able to sleep?
Onozuka Komachi was still drinking, and seemed very dissatisfied with being called up to work overtime. She kept shouting while drinking. Her outfit was already very eye-catching, and now no one wanted to approach her.
"Sorry for the wait~" Okunoda Miyo placed the prepared stew in front of Xiangbei: "This is the stew you asked for, please enjoy it slowly."
"Um……"
With meat and potatoes, the stew looked quite appetizing, but Xiangbei suddenly didn't have much of an appetite.
Maybe it was because of the Grim Reaper and the dead person nearby? Or maybe it was just a sudden emo moment... But wasting food is definitely not good, so you have to finish it after all.
"Oh, by the way, sir, would you like to order some soju?"
As the belle of the shop and the only employee of Ayutotei, Okunoda Miyoshi has an excellent ability to read people's expressions. After all, this is a tavern. In addition to those who come to eat and enjoy fine wines, there are also some guests who want to drown their sorrows in alcohol.
Meixiao couldn't do anything to help them, but when they were down, she could use a pot of good wine to make them forget their troubles for a while, and she could also sell more wine, so why not do it?
"Our shochu goes perfectly with stews. I highly recommend ordering a portion."
"Um……"
Xiangbei doesn't like drinking. Maybe beer is okay, but he basically doesn't like other types of alcohol. Even if there is free alcohol in front of him, he is unwilling to drink it.
However, today's situation is special, so it's okay to drink a little.
"Then give me one."
"okay!"
The joyful Meixiao quickly brought the drinks to the table, picked up the glass of wine to the north, and took a sip.
"...it still doesn't taste good after all."
He took another bite of the stew.
"...Although it doesn't taste good, it does go well with stews."
Taking a sip of wine and a bite of food, Xiangbei quickly finished the soju and stew.
Maybe it was because of the delicious food, but after the meal, Xiangbei's negative emotions disappeared a lot.
Turning around, she saw Komachi still there? She seemed to be chatting with a fellow drinker... Uh, she'd leave it at that. Are you guys a little too brave? Or is this what they call alcohol giving you courage?
After paying the money, when passing by the sickle that Komachi placed aside, Xiangbei gently touched the sickle with his hand, and the soul in the sickle was caught in his hand.
Master Jiugong was still asleep, as if he didn't even know he was dead.
Xiangbei had a feeling that as long as he stuffed Jiugongye directly into his mouth and swallowed it, he would be able to add another resident to Huo and Lixiang in his body.
But he didn't do that. He put Jiugong Ye's soul back and left the shop.
Then I strolled along the street with him, passed the closed sunflower shop, and walked through several turns until I arrived at the cake shop run by the Jiugong family.
After standing there for a while, Xiangbei finally returned home and fell asleep.
……
……
"Okay, ready to go."
Early the next morning, Xiangbei got up and began to prepare for the crossing.
No one came to see him off, after all, he hadn't told anyone, but he wasn't traveling alone either.
"Are you ready? Then come in."
Disaster can no longer wait. After waiting for so long, it is finally time to travel through time again.
Rika was also very interested in this. As a scientist, she was quite interested in this thing in front of her that could travel through time like a rocket. If she had a physical body and resurrecting Xiaohong was a priority, she would definitely want to take it apart to see its structure.
The machine was taken out. From the appearance, it was just a small rocket about two meters high. However, when entering through the hatch, it was found that the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside. It was estimated that some space technology was used.
Xiangbei entered various numerical information on the rocket's console according to the description in the system operation guide and determined the time point he wanted to return.
"Hmm, ×××× year ×××× month ×××× day ×××× time... Is this correct?"
"Almost." Huo confirmed and nodded when he found that there was no problem.
The time machine can only carry one person through time travel, but if it is a companion pet or something like that, it can also be carried along for the journey.
Although Huo and Rika are not companion pets, they are not identified as the other two passengers by the time machine, so they can also travel to the past with Xiangbei.
"it is good."
Everything is adjusted, and Xiangbei takes a deep breath.
"Time machine, start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangbei pressed the button.
A flash of light passed by, and the rocket disappeared into Gensokyo with the people inside, as if it had rushed into another dimension in an instant.
The entire interior of the rocket was filled with a soft yet intense light. Time and space began to fold, the surrounding space began to rotate, and the flow of time became blurred.
Xiangbei's body seemed to be experiencing an unprecedented stretching. Every cell in his body, including his soul, was vibrating under this force. This experience seemed very long, yet also like a short moment.
At this moment, a golden dragon claw tore through the void, crossed the barriers of space and time, and grabbed towards the rocket.
It was like being thrown into a whirlpool. After a dizzying moment, the light in the rocket gradually dissipated and then gradually stabilized.
"Ah, is it over?"
It felt like an eternity, but in reality it felt like less than a second.
He touched his body and didn't find any missing piece of flesh or anything. He looked at Huo and Rika inside his body and found that they were fine. There was no problem with their soul or spirit.
When I got close to the hatch, I saw a forest outside. It was obviously not the original Gensokyo.
"It looks like the time travel was successful?"
"There should be nothing wrong with that."
Huo gave the command calmly.
"Then let's act quickly. The current timeline should be when Kouka-chan just arrived in Gensokyo. If we find her before Yakumo Yukari, we will definitely gain a lot of favorability! That way, our plan will be easier to execute."
"I always feel like you are making some kind of strategy guide." Xiangbei raised his eyebrows, opened the hatch, and said jokingly.
"Stop talking nonsense and pay attention to your surroundings. If Yakumo Yukari sets her sights on you because of the butterfly effect, you'll be in trouble."
"What's the trouble? Don't worry, even if Yakumo Yukari appears in front of me now, I will - fuck!"
As soon as he opened the hatch, Xiangbei saw Yakumo Yukari appear in front of him.
