The open space in front of Jiamu House, where building materials were once stacked, now has a not-so-wide road. [No pop-up novel website] There are seven or eight wooden shops including Jiamuwu built on both sides of the street, some floating stalls, and even some people setting up street stalls. At a glance, there were hundreds of humans and monsters wandering the streets, making it very lively.
And it seemed that the place only officially opened after dusk. Not only were there many stalls still being set up, but in this short time, many humans or monsters crossed over where Lu Yuan was standing and walked into the market. Seven or eight magic lights floated from the Jiamu House to the left and right, floating on the street. The setting sun has not yet set, and the streets here are illuminated like daylight.
"Dad? Dad!!"
Lu Yuan was looking around curiously at the changes here when he heard Hakurei Reimu's happy shouting. Lu Yuan raised his head following the sound and saw Ling Meng in fiery red clothes climbing out of the window of Jiamu House and jumping directly from the second floor! "Dad!" Lu Yuan raised his hands and let little Lingmeng crash into his arms. "It's so heavy, Reimu, you're fat..." It seems to be because of the effect of the big barrier, although the food supply that Lu Yuan was looking at at the beginning did promote the physical growth of little Reimu. But then it seemed to stagnate again, remaining about the size of a twelve or thirteen girl.
"Dad~ Hahaha! Daddy..." The little girl completely ignored his weight attack, and little Reimu smiled happily. There is no sadness when we meet again, only happiness. Little Lingmeng hugged his neck and kept calling his father. Lu Yuan also hugged Ling Meng tightly into his arms and agreed with a smile. Suddenly I felt that the fatigue from my hard work (? killing zombies) was instantly cured.
"Why are you back..." After the surprise, Little Lingmeng touched Lu Yuan's forehead with her forehead and complained coquettishly. "Haha~" Lu Yuan happily pushed against Ling Meng, but Ling Meng pushed him back "viciously". Just when the two people were happily pushing the cow. Lu Yuan felt the corners of his clothes being pulled twice.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and saw Ibuki Suixiang blushing and smiling shyly, holding up an open bowl filled with wine. "Dad...Dad, welcome back. I'll buy you a drink."
Seeing the cute look of Ibuki Suika in a white dress, Lu Yuan's heart was immediately hit! He shifted Little Reimu to his left hand and held it with one arm. He bent down and picked up Ibuki Suika one by one. In the past, although Ibuki Suixiang also called Reimu his daddy, Lu Yuan could see that Suixiang was too shy, and more often than not, she just envied Reimu's lack of moral integrity. Therefore, although Lu Yuan took care of both girls as daughters without distinction. We ate, drank, and handed out pocket money, but never in such close contact.
Compared with Reimu, after all, the intimacy is three points less. But Ibuki Suixiang came to toast and welcome him back so shyly, which immediately made Lu Yuan feel... as if he had been indebted to a certain child.
"Drink..." Lu Yuan picked him up without resisting. Although Ibuki Suixiang blushed, she still held the wine bowl in front of Lu Yuan with both hands.
"Drink! Drink! I want it too~" Little Ling Meng was cheering on the side and moved closer to the bowl. When Lu Yuan drank heavily, she also took a few sips, and her face instantly turned red. "I brewed it myself..." Ibuki Suika said softly. Not at all like the heroic drunkard from the ghost clan.
"It tastes good!" Lu Yuan praised, his hands already empty (with tentacles? That's a little girl, a beast!). He simply hit Cuixiang's forehead with his forehead like he did to little Lingmeng. As a compliment. Sure enough, Cuixiang also laughed happily. (Oh~ It hurts... Cuixiang is a member of the horned clan...
"Dad, Dad! Shall I take you to have a barbecue?!" "First... go to my wine shop first." "Eat the barbecue first!" "The wine shop!" The two little girls started arguing, and Lu Yuan listened with a smile. He couldn't stop smiling.
Lu Yuan and his two little girls wandered around the small market, eating this and buying. Listening to the two daughters yelling and competing with each other, Marisa even drank a bowl of poisonous mushroom soup! As night falls. More and more people are gathering on the street, and new shops are constantly opening. Occasionally, I would meet an acquaintance and stop to chat for a few words. It was not annoying to go around like this.
Just while shopping, I met Fujiwara Meihong who opened the clinic. The two stared at each other through the door, then nodded and smiled. Finally, Fujiwara Meihong folded her sleeves and saluted, and watched him leave with his two children in his arms - this scene was very similar to a man getting married. Then I met my ex-girlfriend again...
When he turned the corner of the street, Lu Yuan suddenly saw a group of people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion gathered at the entrance of the street. Just as he was about to step forward to say hello, he heard "shh~" and "shh~" sounds. The two little girls grabbed his clothes and asked Lu Yuan to keep quiet - they wanted to eavesdrop, so Lu Yuan naturally accompanied him.
Everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion was standing together, Beni Meiling was dozing off against a pillar on the side, and Sakuya Izayoi in a maid outfit was standing next to Remilia, carrying a food box. The yandere Patchouli also came out. She was holding a thick book and looking around curiously. Only the Lord of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remi, stood on a large stone, with her hands on her hips, looking majestically at the small market at the foot of Hakurei Mountain.
"Reimu has gone too far!" The three of them heard Remi angrily pointing at the market in front of them and reprimanding loudly. "You actually use your power for personal gain and set up your home to be an area for that ABC or something!"
"It's CBD, Miss."
"Yes, that's it! Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds very powerful!" Remi touched her chin and nodded heavily in agreement. All that's missing is a detective hat, glasses, pipe and plaid cloak (isn't that a lot missing?) "Such an important place is not set up in the Scarlet Devil Mansion... Then our Scarlet Devil Mansion must intervene as soon as possible! Infiltrate here ! Occupy this place! Then defeat them all!"
"But what kind of store should I open?" Patchouli asked this key question. Although there are people coming and going in the market, in fact, what is bought and sold is basically food and drink. Tea houses, wine shops, barbecue stalls, snack shops, etc., although they all have strong backgrounds behind them, the things they sell are still inseparable from the word food and drink. Even the mushroom soup shop opened by Marisa, which is said to be able to poison people to death, still has regular customers who like to hunt for exotic flavors.
Everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion fell into silence. This aspect... The Scarlet Devil Mansion is not good at. Do you sell blood tea drinks? But among the vampires in Gensokyo, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is the only one... We can just sell it at home, but if we sell it here, Reimu Hakurei will tax us.
"Ho ho ho, I already have the answer to this question," Remi smiled proudly, a bright light flashing in her eyes. "To be handsome, of course... the detective agency!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people passed by them. They are the two gods of Moriya Shrine, Fuzuki Tofutani Sanae and her robot h7n9. Holding a large amount of building materials, h7n9 moved forward quickly. Although everyone already knows this guy as "the man hiding in Moriya Shrine", residents are still accustomed to calling him a robot. I heard Sanae Tofutani say, "...let's call the newly opened store 'Moriya Shrine All Things House'! Our aim is to solve all problems for everyone! As long as we help you more, we will definitely attract more believers." …”
Everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion looked at each other. After a while, Patchouli said weakly, "Well, do you want to try making a figure of the character? I saw it in a book and thought it was very beautiful." Before q finished speaking, he heard a rabbit-chan shouting with a loudspeaker, "'Kaguya Pinball Room' is officially opened! It operates various games, comics and animations, peripheral figures, cosplay, etc., 20% off for the opening, welcome Please patronize me!”
Patchouli immediately threw aside her previous thoughts and said with gleaming eyes, "I...I want to take a look, is that okay?"
"No!" Remi went crazy. Her eyes moved around everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and finally landed on Ben Meiling, who was dozing off. "Hong Meiling, you are dozing off again! As a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I order you to come up with an idea!"
"Hmm~" After some tossing, Hong Meiling was woken up and scratched her cheek, "Open a store... When I was in China, I saw the kind of store where you can buy books for a very small amount of money. We have so many books in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, why not open a rental bookstore?"
"No! Don't touch my books!" Patchouli, a book lover, cried heartbroken when she heard that she was actually going to take out her books for money. Hong Meiling apologized repeatedly, and Remi, who was about to agree, turned her head away in embarrassment.
"Then what should I do? If I continue like this, how will I expand my dominance!" Remi grabbed the hat on her head in annoyance. She turned around and caught a glimpse of the trio watching a joke. "Hey, guy over there, who allowed you to peek around?"
"Actually, the Scarlet Devil Mansion has great advantages. Haven't you noticed?" Lu Yuan walked out holding the two little girls. He used to live mostly in seclusion, and even though several people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion hadn't seen him for a while, they didn't know he had left. "Besides," Lemi turned her head away unhappily, but still asked, "What is the advantage? You must be talking nonsense!"
"That's the advantage of the Scarlet Devil Mansion." Lu Yuan gestured to Sakuya Izayoi, who was wearing a maid outfit, and the little devil following Patchouli, "My suggestion is... why don't Yuka Wooden House provide tea and tea?" The place, Scarlet Devil Mansion will provide manpower, let’s open a maid black tea shop together! It will definitely be a hit!”
