The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"What, you're so stingy, don't you just borrow it to play?"

The sun disc gradually rising to the highest point in the sky, that is the beginning of the day, but the boy under the red torii has a look of displeasure.

"Unfortunately, if there is Gungnir, my combat power can definitely increase by hundreds of thousands."

While bullying the stones on the long steps with his feet, Takeya was thinking about it. His strange appearance naturally attracted the attention of the shrine maiden who was cleaning the shrine.

"Wu Ye? Where are you babbling and talking?"

"Ah, what should I say, if you want to use a sharp gun in the future, don't you have to ask Remilia to borrow it? It's so troublesome."

"Hello!"

She raised her eyebrows displeased at Takeya who was talking to himself. Obviously, Reimu's words did not reach Takeya's ears, and the fact that they were ignored caused her displeasure.

Reimu's hand holding the broom slightly exerted force, and the broom in his hand suddenly rose into the air, completed a 360-degree flip in the air, and hit Takeya directly on the head.

Boom.

"pain!"

A pain in his head brought Wuya back to his senses. He looked down at the broom thrown beside him with a clatter. He was looking at the expressionless Reimu in front of him. A second later——

"What are you doing, bastard Reimu! It hurts!"

"It's so noisy! Who told you to ignore me?"

"you"

Seeing the expression on Reimu's face that seemed to say, "I'm just going to fight, so what? If you have the ability, fight back, but be careful, I'll kill you!" Takeru silently swallowed a mouthful of blood.

I will endure.

Takeya, who bowed his head to Hakurei Miko very spinelessly, twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly:

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's annoying to see you standing there."

Reimu scolded Takeya rudely, and then pointed to the utility room in the backyard of the shrine with the broom he picked up on the ground:

"Wu Ye, you have nothing to do anyway, just go and help me take out the new tea leaves."

"Eh?"

Reimu's words made Takeya unable to relax for a moment. You must know that Reimu is a unique prodigy who can drink a bag of tea until it is colorless and tasteless.

This is not because she is poor, nor because the tea in Gensokyo is so precious, but because she is lazy.

Too lazy to go out, too lazy to buy tea, or even too lazy to change tea leaves. As far as Reimu is concerned, unless all the tea leaves in the teapot turn into dregs and are drank up, she will never even bother to lift the lid.

It was almost impossible for her to offer a new cup of tea, especially when the tea leaves in the pot had just been changed yesterday.

Takeru stared blankly at Reimu, who was doing the cleaning work as if nothing had happened, until he was urged by Reimu a few more times, and he walked to the utility room in a daze and saw a calendar page pressed under the tea bag.

".It turns out that this day has arrived."

The moment he saw the date, all the doubts in Takeya's mind were wiped away. No wonder the lazy Reimu got up early today. No wonder Yakumo Murasaki, who always likes to come and cause trouble, also disappeared. So that's it.

"It's been a few years, where have you been?"

Wu Ye picked up the new bag of tea leaves and walked out of the utility room. The dim light that penetrated through the gap illuminated the darkness blocked by the wooden door. He saw that where the tea leaves and calendar were originally pressed, there was a The slightly old miko uniforms were neatly stacked.

The hand on the door paused slightly, and Wu Ye was silent for a long time looking at the red and white miko uniform exposed in the gap, and finally closed the door gently.

It must have been a few years ago today, the day the previous generation of shrine maidens disappeared from them. As for how long it had been, five years? six years? He couldn't tell clearly, maybe it was exactly what Yakumo Murasaki said——

Time kills everything, especially feelings.

With things like this, maybe he can't even recall the sadness he felt when he learned that the previous generation of miko disappeared, right?

As expected, compared to Reimu who seems to be more inhumane on the surface, I am a real cold-blooded animal.

With a self-deprecating smile, Takeru came to the room in the backyard, which was where Reimu usually lazed. There was a teapot and two teacups placed randomly on the light-colored tatami.

Silently replacing the tea with new ones, Takeya found the meatballs that Reimu bought from the shrine with ease. After preparing everything, he sipped the tea while waiting for Reimu's arrival.

Soon, there was movement in the front yard, and after a while Reimu came to the room with the same lazy expression as usual.

"Huh? Takeya, you're ready."

Lingmeng said without any surprise. She sat in her usual seat. She picked up the steaming tea and took a sip. She smacked it several times in her mouth:

"Sure enough, fresh tea is delicious."

"Really."

Looking at Reimu with a sigh on his face, Takeru smiled and cursed:

"Since you know it tastes good, just be more diligent, you lazy miko."

"snort."

After squeezing his nose, Reimu blew the hot air from the tea cup again and said slowly:

"If I work too hard, wouldn't it make you look useless, Takeya?"

"What? Why is it involving me?"

Listening to Takeya's incomprehensible question, Reimu shrugged and said matter-of-factly:

"Isn't it natural for a man to support the family?"

"Hey, stop it, stop it, who is the miko in this shrine?"

Wu also asked back with a smile.

"You're so noisy, drink my tea and then work hard for me."

"you"

"What? Do you have any opinions?"

".All right."

Seeing the slightly twitching displeasure in the corners of Reimu's eyes, Takeru immediately raised his hands in surrender:

"Whatever you say is what it is."

"That's about the same."

Lingmeng nodded, looking like a coward who could be taught. The two looked at each other up and down for a long time, and she suddenly burst out laughing:

"Hey, sure enough"

There was a smile on Reimu's face that had not completely faded away. She put down the empty teacup in her hand, turned her head and looked at Takeya and said:

"Only on this day will you obey me in everything I say, Takeya."

"Ah."

Wu Ya laughed noncommittally, and then put the tea cup to his mouth. For a moment, the only sound in the air was the sound of tea being poured into the mouth.

"Then how many years have passed since then?"

Holding the tea cup, Lingmeng's eyes fell on the trees in the courtyard that seemed to never grow up, and he said as if talking to himself:

"Five years? Six years? Time flies so fast."

"What? Does our miko lady want to become a child who will never grow up? Go ask the little girl over there, maybe there will be something to do."

With that said, Wu also pointed in the direction of Santu River.

"whispering sound."

Reimu glanced at Takeya sideways and said angrily:

"You don't have to be so cautious. I'm not as fragile as you think."

"Really? I'm worried that you will be unhappy and just throw a barrage barrier on me."

"Go! Go! Go."

Waving his hands in disgust at Takeya's unfaithful expression, Reimu lowered his eyes, paused and said calmly:

"Grandma hasn't been seen for so long, I don't care anymore."
