"Mengzi." Aige pulled the corner of Mengzi's clothes, "Come here!"
"Ugh?"
Yumeko looked at Marisa and Tenko who were frantically buying fishing nets and competing with each other by the pond, but they didn't catch a single fish.
"I'm scooping up goldfish? Is that true?"
Despite saying this, Mengzi would not refuse her master's request.
But even the best maid in the demon world doesn't know everything. At least skills like scooping goldfish are not within the scope of Mengzi's mastery.
So Mengzi unfortunately failed to live up to her master's expectations.
"Sakuya, it's up to you!"
Flandre cheered for her head maid, but although Sakuya Izayoi sounded Japanese, she had never played the goldfish catching game. Although she had the ability of time, it was not easy to use this ability in public.
So Sakuya also followed in Yumeko's footsteps.
Xiangbei, who had gone to buy marshmallows, finally returned to the team. He looked at Marisa and Tenko who were already quarreling, Sakuya and Yumeko who looked a little depressed, and Fran and Aika who were trying to comfort Sakuya and Yumeko but could obviously feel that they were a little lost in their hearts.
He sighed when he learned that everyone had bought nearly a hundred nets (specially provided by Marisa Tenko) but had not caught a single fish.
"Let me give it a try."
Under the hopeless gaze of the crowd, he cast his net to the north.
Hit both nets!
Under the hopeless gaze of Marisa and Tenko, Xiangbei handed the two bags of packed fish to Fran and Aika respectively.
Tian Yu Tyrant's physical fitness has been comprehensively enhanced, including the comprehensive improvement of balance, muscle control and nerve reaction, so catching a fish is naturally a piece of cake.
But you, the emperor, a celestial being, can’t even catch a single fish? It’s said that celestial beings are very lucky.
"You're not a shill, are you? You're cheating! We had dozens of nets and none of them hit anything, but you caught two fish with just two nets?!" Marisa looked at Xiangbei indignantly and muttered softly, "I used to catch goldfish very easily, da☆ze..."
He spread his hands toward the north.
"If you're not good at it, practice more. If you can't afford it, don't play. The past was the past, and the present is now..."
Before they knew it, there was another emperor in the team, and the team was getting bigger and bigger. The atmosphere of the whole festival was completely ignited.
Volume 1: First Entry into Fantasy: Chapter 46: Rumia
Everyone basically visited the entire festival, ate everything they should eat, and played everything they should play.
On the way north, we also met many familiar faces, such as the green-haired Xianrenshen, the black-haired Yatengu, the rabbit wearing a conical hat, the pink-haired immortal with a bun head, etc.
The team walked around and around, and finally decided to join in the fun at Alice's place.
Alice's puppet show was nearing its end. Although they only watched the last small part, Alice's superb performance with the puppets was a feast for the eyes for the group.
When Alice's puppet show was over, Ai Ge rushed over impatiently.
"Alice!" Ai Ge cheered and threw herself into Alice's arms. Although they were only separated for a few hours, Ai Ge still missed Alice very much.
Alice touched Aige's blonde hair helplessly: "I hope I didn't cause any trouble to Mengzi and Mr. Xiangbei."
"No, Aige is a good kid."
After some discussion, they felt that the festival was almost over, so they decided to go to Hakurei Shrine together to wait for the fireworks.
"Hakurei Shrine is the best place in all of Gensokyo to enjoy the fireworks," Alice enthusiastically recommended it to Yumeko and Xiangbei.
"Indeed, during the annual fireworks festival, those monsters gather at the shrine to watch the fireworks," Marisa said, recalling the various interesting things that happened during previous festivals. "But I only learned this after moving into the Magic Forest to train in magic. Before that, I only watched the fireworks among humans... Never mind, let's not talk about that."
"Also, I heard that this year's fireworks were carefully prepared. Kappa participated in the development of the fireworks, and they will be even more grand than in previous years." Sakuya looked at the two excited blonde girls and bowed, "Please look forward to it."
"Oh!" ×2
Mengzi, Shenqi, Tianzi, and even Xiangbei were all very interested in this. Although Xiangbei had seen many fireworks in the outside world, whether on the Internet or with his own eyes, he had naturally never seen the fireworks developed by Kappa.
So he was looking forward to it.
[Side Quest: Dragon Jade]
[Defeat/kill/seal/exile the dark origin monster Rumia who has awakened in the depths of the magic forest, and destroy/seal/plunder/exile the item "Gem - Op" she holds]
[Quest Reward: Three random special-grade spell tools, one special-grade spellcaster upgrade (Otsutsukoshi Yuta template), and one random system item]
[Failure penalty: Total mana reduced by 10%, and a special-grade mana tool dropped randomly]
To the north: ...
No, I just decided to watch the fireworks, and you're giving me a task now?
And this mission always seems a little strange.
Xiangbei read the task carefully, and then fell silent again.
This this……
This isn't right.
The rewards for this mission are much more generous than any previous mission, but the generosity of the mission rewards issued by the system is generally determined by the difficulty of the mission.
Therefore, it can be judged that the difficulty of this mission is naturally more difficult than any mission he has done since coming to Gensokyo.
But, Op, what is that?
Xiangbei felt that he had seen this person before, but now he really couldn't recall any impression of him.
As the team set out for Hakurei Shrine, Xiangbei asked this question to the person he believed to be the most knowledgeable and experienced in the team - the God of the Demon World, Shenqi.
"Um, Ms. Shenqi, can I ask you a question?"
"Hey?" Hearing Xiangbei calling her, not only Shenqi, but everyone else was a little surprised. "Me? Sure, what do you want to ask?"
"Excuse me, have you ever heard of the item 'Baoyu Opu'?"
"Baoyu...Op?" Hearing this name, Shenqi fell into deep thought.
"I seem to have heard of it, but I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly what it is now. If you need it, I can ask others to help me look up information about this item in the Great Library when we return to Pandemonium."
"No, no, it's just a casual question." Xiangbei casually changed the subject.
Is this an item that even the God of the Demon World doesn't recognize? Of course, it could also be that Shenqi is simply unreliable and didn't recognize it... Forget it, let's go to Hakurei Shrine and take a look first.
After flying over the animal path and the plank road and passing through the torii gate, the group arrived at the Hakurei Shrine.
When he arrived at the shrine, Xiangbei understood why people called Hakurei Shrine the Monster Shrine - those densely packed around Hakurei Shrine were basically monsters, and they were all powerful monsters. Apart from Reimu, Sakuya, Marisa, and Xiangbei, there was not a single human being.
Xiangbei also saw Remlia wearing a blue yukata. Remlia also felt her gaze and looked in his direction.
After making eye contact with Xiangbei, Remlia looked away evasively, blushing and looking a little embarrassed. She fled from Xiangbei's sight, without even seeing Fran and Sakuya beside him.
Uh, this... never mind. He looks pretty energetic anyway, so there shouldn't be any big problem.
"What?! You monsters, why don't you go somewhere else to watch the fireworks? You keep coming to my shrine and no one's willing to give you money anymore!"
The shrine maiden sitting on the steps of the main gate became frustrated by the increasing number of monsters coming, and angrily scolded these monsters with words that were inconsistent with her temperament.
Then, she took out the money box from the center of the shrine and placed it in front of the torii gate, saying arrogantly, "If you don't put money in, I'll beat you all back!"
Everyone was familiar with Reimu Hakurei's operation, and they took out the change they had prepared long ago and put it into the coin box.
Shenqi and Mengzi on the side were amazed. After all, although they had heard about the deeds of the witch, there was still a big difference between seeing it with their own eyes and hearing it.
As the coins jingled into the box, Reimu's expression became better and better at a visible speed. She carried the money box in front of Xiangbei and his group. Because Shenqi, Mengzi and Aige were all poor, Alice paid for their share of the money and put it into the box out of her own pocket.
"By the way, Reimu, let me ask you something." After dropping the money into the box, Xiangbei pretended to ask casually, "Have you ever seen a monster named Rumia?"
"Lumia?" Reimu looked around. "Oh, this is strange. She usually comes during festivals, so why isn't she here this time?"
"Oh, Reimu, are you worried?" Marisa teased, and then was punched by Reimu.
"Get lost! Who, who is worried about that monster? If you can't even afford the race fee, it's best if you don't come!"
Looking at Reimu's departing back, Xiangbei stood shoulder to shoulder with Marisa, who was holding her stomach.
"Tsundere."
"Tsundere."
"By the way, why are you asking about Rumia? Do you know her? Or are you planning on doing something secretive?!"
"What are you thinking about?" He gave Marisa a slap on the head. "How long until the fireworks go off?"
"I'm not sure, but it should be about ten to twenty minutes."
"Well, it's about the same time... I do have something to do with that youkai, Marisa. If I can't make it back before the fireworks, ask Reimu to look for me in the Magic Forest. I should be busy by then."
"Oh, uh...ah? What do you mean?"
Marisa turned her head in confusion, only to find that Xiangbei had disappeared from where he was at some point.
……
……
In the magical forest, a blonde figure surrounded by infinite darkness stood up from the ground, and beside her was a red and white ribbon that had completely turned into pieces.
Volume 1: First Entry into Fantasy: Chapter 47: Chimera: Mokhuluo
"Such a strong demon power."
Using Cang, Xiangbei moved to the sky above the Magic Forest. As soon as he arrived here, he was slightly shocked by the surging demonic power coming from the forest.
Such a strong demonic power, and an inexplicable black fog emitting a strange aura filled the forest, enveloping the entire magical forest.
It must have spread when the summer festival started, otherwise Aika Marisa and the others would have encountered this phenomenon first.
He landed in the forest, touched the Wuxia on an arm to the north, used Cang to attract some black mist to his hand, sensed it carefully, and then shook the mist away.
"An unknown force that will continuously corrode the human body upon contact. It's somewhat like a curse, but it's very weak. Even an ordinary person wouldn't die within a week of coming into contact with it."
The blue pupils looked towards the forest. If he guessed correctly, there seemed to be a full moon tonight, and the little monsters or beasts living in the forest should be very noisy.
According to Marisa, who lives a little deeper in the Magic Forest, every time this time comes, the cries of various monsters will come one after another, just like the howling of wolves when they see the full moon, making the entire forest restless.
So usually at this time, Marisa would simply move to the Hakurei Shrine, and Alice would not be affected because she lived in an area outside the forest and she would also set up protective measures such as barriers around her house.
But now the entire forest was not as noisy as Marisa had described. Instead, it was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary, almost to the point of being dead silent.
Not only was there no sound of any monsters or animals, but even the mosquitoes that were prevalent in the summer were nowhere to be seen. There was only a silent forest and the ubiquitous black fog.
Countless monsters are trying their best to restrain their demonic powers, shivering and huddling in corners. Even ordinary animals, seemingly due to their special sixth sense, huddle in their habitats tacitly, without making any sound.
There is usually only one reason for this situation, that is, an extremely powerful monster appeared in the forest, and released her strong demonic power without hiding or restraining herself.
Even on the outskirts of the forest, one can sense that terrifying aura. According to the mission description, it should be Rumia who emits that aura.
Although he had never seen Rumia in person, he had learned about her before he traveled through time. She was a very cute little loli who could control and use a power called darkness. In the first setting, it seemed that she would eat people. In the second setting... anyway, according to the setting that Xiangbei saw, she would mostly eat people.
However, in this world, Rumia does not, nor should she, have this terrifying aura comparable to that of a great monster, because this situation does not appear in the original work...
Xiangbei slapped his head and felt that he had some cognitive obstacles.
After all, if you really delve into the reason for the time travel, it is almost completely inexplicable... Although the reason for his time travel was the system, the system never said that the world he traveled to was the "little god of Gensokyo", it just said that he would travel to Gensokyo.
It's not revealed what Gensokyo is, but even if it's the Little God of Gensokyo, then it's exactly the same world as the original. Why wouldn't it be a parallel world where the plot has gone to extremes?
There may be no element of coincidence involved... but there is no point in thinking about this issue now.
Xiangbei's figure left the spot, and when he reappeared, his yukata had been replaced with a black hakama.
A battle suit that killed anyone who wore it... Although it also had a negative buff that reduced luck, perhaps it was the suicidal spirit unique to time travelers? Xiangbei always wanted to find an opportunity to give it a try.
Besides, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. If you can win while wearing this decisive suit, you can also get random rewards issued by the system.
Besides, even if he was really cut in half, he could still put it back together, so it didn't matter if he put it on... Well, Xiangbei had made some preparations for this after all.
Xiangbei clenched his fists and took a stance.
"Burube Yura Yura——"
The shadow under his feet suddenly rioted, boiling curse power surged out, and a huge figure gradually condensed and appeared.
"Eight-handed Sword, Otherworldly General, Moxu Luo."
A three-meter-tall monster with an eyeless head and four wings on both sides, a demon-repelling sword attached to its right arm, and rudder-like wheels attached to its head and back appeared behind Xiangbei.
