Chapter 55: The Red Fog's Strange Change...

  "Ah~~! Why do I have to be responsible for that shameless shrine maiden's funding from now on?!" Tien Yat complained as he walked down the road.

  I recalled that last night, Hachiyoshi Tsuru attacked him after he fell asleep. Originally, Chen Yit thought his spring had arrived...

  "Who would have thought that Yatonoji Kiku's first words to Tsubasa were: 'Hey there, little brother, I see you're doing pretty well for yourself lately. From now on, the financial support for Rei will be left up to you...'"

  Heaven and earth can testify, from the day I opened this store till now, my income has been almost all losses. It's already good if I don't have to pay out of pocket, how can you still collect money? You're scamming your own dad!

  But since Yakumo Yukari said so, Tenshi didn't refuse... umm... with Reimu's personality, making money should be... probably? seemingly? maybe it's impossible...

  Originally, Tatsuki was going to have his mother send it off, but she refused, citing the shrine's rule that only one miko is allowed.

  I'm so fed up! It's clear that you don't want to go, just admit it. What's the point of making excuses? And you're still a mother...

  Then went to find Xiang Linzi, as a result, the other party directly locked the door tightly and ignored Chen Yi.

  In the end, Chen Yi went alone, to be honest, since appearing on Wenwen News, Chen Yi's chances of going out have plummeted.

  When he arrived at the Hakurei Shrine, Tatsuya's first sight was a lazy Reimu and Marisa sitting together drinking tea. What a miracle, they didn't fight. Then Tatsuya saw a large hole that had appeared on the empty ground next to them...

  Forget I said that!

  "Ah! You're here, you little monster!" Ling Meng, who was lazily drinking tea with a look of boredom on her face, suddenly became spirited when she saw Chen Yi. "You must be here to deliver the money, right? Old Lady Zi told me about it yesterday."

  You're a monster, girls!？Chen Yi's face immediately turned black, took out a small bag, shook it up and down, and the metallic collision sound inside instantly lit up Ling Meng's eyes.

  "Money? Gone......" A gloomy tone.

  "How could it be gone? You're holding onto it, aren't you, hand it over to me quickly!" Ling Meng said as she spoke recklessly, stretching out her hand to grab the small pouch in Chen Yi's hand.

  Marisa, who was standing by, noticed something was off and quietly distanced herself from Reimu.

  "Hmmph! Hmmph!" Chen Yi's eyebrows furrowed again. "I said no, so it's no! Do you have any objections?"

  Zhen Yi's hand flashed with a purple-black flame, and Ling Meng watched as the purse in Zhen Yi's hand turned into thin air...

  "Ahh~~" How could this be!! Money! The money just disappeared...... Ling Meng immediately Orzed.

  "Ah ha! I don't know why, but my mood suddenly improved a lot." The originally gloomy Chen Yi immediately revealed a sunny and beautiful smile.

  "Money's gone~! Money's gone~!" Ling Meng muttered repeatedly, "If I don't have money, how am I supposed to survive from now on? Heaven, I'll starve to death!!"

  Then, Chen Yi's mood got even better...

  "Ah! Right, I'll come again next month." Chen Yi waved his hand and was about to leave.

  "No!!!" Chen Yi immediately found his legs being held...

  "You were so good to me when I was young, wasn't that all fake?" Ling Meng, hugging Chen Yi's legs, tried to play the emotional card. "Why are you treating me like this now?"

  Chen Yi also suspected that Ling Meng, who was so lovely in his childhood, had become like this now. Was it really the will of heaven?

  "Ugh......" Chen Yi tried to struggle free several times in vain, then let out a sigh, "Alright! Let go quickly!"

  "Pay first, talk later..."

  Damn it...

  Helpless, Chen Yi took out a gold brick, and Ling Meng's eyes immediately turned red. "A...are you giving it all to me?"

  Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "You'd better go back to drink tea and dream." Then with a cracking sound, he broke off a small corner of the gold brick and threw it into Ling Meng's hand. "Here!"

  Ling Meng took it over and still stared tightly at the gold brick in Chen Yi's hand, which was missing a corner, with the words "robbery" almost bursting out of her eyes...

  "What are you doing? Want to rob me?" Chen Yi looked at the hand that had already quietly taken out the yin-yang jade, "Dream on!"

  Whoosh!

  A dark purple flame burst out of Chen Yi's hand (a simplified version of Ming Yan), and the gold brick in his hand was burned to nothing, not even leaving a trace of ash.

  Bang!

  Ling Meng's yin-yang jade pendant fell to the ground. "Oh no, what a waste! You don't want it, can you give it to me?"

  "Hmm! I'd love to, want to burn it for fun, what's the big deal? Got a problem?" Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and said.

  "Despicable local tyrant!" Ling Meng's response.

  "I'm rich! I'm happy, what's it to you? I'll leave now and not disturb your cultivation of feelings with Marisa." Tianshen waved his hand and turned to leave.

  Marisa ran to Reimu's side after the crisis was resolved, taking out her miniature Bagua furnace. "Reimu, how about we give him a shot? I've never seen Chen Xi move before."

  "Suit yourself, just don't kill him all at once...," Ling Meng said casually. "But you'd better be careful, because female Youkai can't create spell cards, so if you start fighting him it won't be a danmaku game anymore."

  "Ah~ah~, got it! When did Reimu become so talkative? Just you watch, DA☆ZE!" Marisa exclaimed with a thrilled expression.

  "Spark of Extremity!!"

  A massive magical cannon with colorful glow shot towards Tenshi, because Marisa often stole a lot of in-game materials from Tenshi, making the cannon even more powerful...

  "What the...?! Chen Yi stared at the incoming magic cannon in shock, 'Are you kidding me?! This is suicidal!' Chen Yi made up his mind, 'I'll strengthen the shop's defenses as soon as I get back today.'"

  Ghost Gate!

  Until the magic cannon was about to hit itself, Chen Yi took out his weapon and released a block, triggering the effect of Ghost Gate once an hour.

  Ding!

  The originally majestic and powerful magic cannon suddenly vanished into thin air.

  "What? How is this possible?" Marisa immediately lost her composure. "How could my Limit Fire have vanished into thin air?"

  "It's just been absorbed." Ling Meng said beside him.

  "Huh? How did you know, Ling Meng?"

  "He told me before."

  "Ah? This is too unfair!"

  "You can go up and fight him close-range." Ling Meng suggested casually.

  "Hey! I'm a magician, how could I possibly do something like close combat that goes against the magician profession?"

  Just as Ling Meng was about to say something, the originally clear sky slowly filled with a thick red fog, covering up the sky and sun. The air was also filled with a faint smell of blood...

  "Huh? Chen Yi looked at the sky that had already changed color, is this the Red Fog anomaly? Ah! What a hassle, let's just hurry back, Chen Yi put away his weapon and headed towards his grocery store."

  "Reimu! Reimu! This is an abnormal change! Let's go and settle it quickly!" Marisa exclaimed with a look of excitement.

  Rei Muyou didn't have any enthusiasm at all, "It's just an ordinary weather change, go back and drink a cup of tea...". As she said the words that even she didn't believe, Rei Muyou headed towards the shrine.

  "How can it be just ordinary weather changes? It's clearly an anomaly!" Mokou desperately pulled back Rei, who was trying to return to the shrine. "Let's go! Hurry up and resolve the anomaly! You can drink tea when we get back too!"

  "Ahh, no way! It's such a hassle. If you want to go, Marisa can just go herself."

  "Reimu, you should at least have some integrity as a shrine maiden." Marisa said with a helpless expression.

  "Just throw away whatever is bothering you and let go! I'm going to sleep now."

  "How is it possible?! Hurry up and come with me!!" Marisa also insisted with a determined face.

  "If you resolve the anomaly, there's a reward, Rei!"

  "Huh?" Ling Meng looked at the head sticking out from her chest, "Old lady, what are you doing here."

  "Of course, it's up to Rei Meiki to resolve the anomaly." Yakumo Yukari stretched out one hand and shook the gold brick in her hand, "A big reward."

  "Ah, a familiar golden brick." Ling Meng's eyes sparkled with small stars, "As long as the anomaly is resolved, will...will you give it to me?"

  "Hey! Hey! Ling Meng, watch out for your drool!" Marisa called out to Ling Meng, who had already fallen under the spell of the glittering gold bricks.

  "Hmm! As long as the anomaly is resolved, just go to Tenshi's place and get it. " Yakumo Yukari continued to tempt, then threw the gold brick into the gap...

  "Alright!!! Marisa, let's go settle this anomaly!!" Reimu said with a determined look.

  "Where's your integrity!!" Moriguchi's roar.

  "Get rid of your dignity! It's useless and can't be sold for money."

  ………

  ……

  …

  Chen Yi, who was rushing back, suddenly felt a palpitation, causing him to suspiciously glance around.

  "Hey little bro, as a resident of Gensokyo, what's your take on this anomaly?"

  Tatsuya stared expressionlessly at the inverted head that was less than ten centimeters away from his face. Yatsume, do you know? Just now, I almost swung my sword and cut it off...

  "No opinion..."

  "What a cold-blooded response! As a resident of Gensokyo, isn't it precisely at times like these that one should lend their strength?"

  "Don't want..."

  "It's really cold, but you can't help it, go and play with a little girl, if things are done well, you can get a kiss from Purple Sister!"

  Damn it!!!!!

  A gap in the air faced Chen Yi's head, and Chen Yi's eyes turned black. He appeared in a room filled with dolls with unclear stitching.

  "Is big sister here to play with Fran? Fran is so lonely..."

  Chen Yi's face immediately turned green, and his heart felt cool and scary...

  Yakumo Yuko, you're blocking someone's way!!!!!

  Tatsuya was staring at Flandre, who was sitting on a thick mattress, hugging a stuffed animal, with only skeletal wings that seemed to be thinking of various colored jewels, known as the ultimate evil spirit sister...

  "Uh..." Chen Yi nodded helplessly, at this time saying no was absolutely asking for trouble...

  "Big sister isn't a guest, she's here specifically to play with Fran, right?"

  "Is that so..." Tatsuya muttered in his heart, scolding Yotsuba Kudou, "And since your brother is a boy, just call him Onii-chan..."

  Furans face immediately revealed a happy smile, "Finally someone has come to play with Furans, Furans havent played with anyone for a long time."

  "So, big sister shouldn't be spoiled."

  Oh! Heaven! Damn it! You've really killed Hakuren no Yomi this time!!

  BOOM!!!!!

  The underground of the Scarlet Devil Mansion began to shake violently!!

  Loli is so fierce...

  ……
