The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"I'm here, Reimu, aren't you here?"

No one cares about the Hakurei Shrine. It seems that even the shrine maiden cleaning the door has disappeared today. The already sad scene now adds a bit of desolation.

After taking the familiar route to the inner room and changing his clothes, Takeya began to look around for the Hakurei Miko.

"He disappeared early in the morning. Is that guy so hardworking?"

"Of course not."

“Uh oh oh—!”

The strange voice that suddenly came from beside him made Wu Ye subconsciously let out an embarrassing scream. He turned around and saw a girl with short black hair floating in the air with a curious look on her face, with wings behind her.

Monster?

"Uh-oh, oh?"

Repeating Takeya's strange cry of shame, the unknown monster tilted its head, showing an extremely cute expression.

"What is this, the outside world's way of saying hello?"

"Ah haha, let's just say who are you?"

Although the shrine maidens of Hakurei Shrine have never targeted youkai, in a sense, as beings who stand between humans and non-humans, they are even relatively popular among youkai.

But according to calculations, not many monsters would be willing to come to the shrine.

Except for banquets, of course.

Although the monster in front of him has the appearance of a girl, since most monsters in Gensokyo remain young, Takeshi has no way of determining her true age.

The monster "girl" has strange short black hair, a red hexagonal hat, a maple leaf-shaped fan, a white shirt, a black skirt, and high clogs. Is this a camera in her hand?

Well, there are often things from the outside world in Gensokyo, so that’s not surprising.

Maybe Wu didn't notice that it was very rude for him to look at others casually and without scruples, but the other party didn't seem to care.

The crow-like wings behind him slowly retracted, and the unknown monster landed on the ground.

"Hey, I'm a reporter from Bunbun News, Sameimaru Bun. Speaking of which, this is the first time we've met, the mysterious boy from Hakurei Shrine, Kousaka Takeya-kun."

"Ah, hello."

What a spiritual monster.

Shooting pill article? Wu Ye always felt that he had heard this name somewhere. It was not until the other party handed him a newspaper as a business card that Wu Ye finally remembered where he had seen this name.

The reporter of Wenwen News. The bastard who spread the scandal between him and Remilia!

"Uh, what's wrong with you? You look a little bad."

The young man who looked calm just now suddenly changed into a look of deep hatred and hatred, which puzzled Shemei Maruwen greatly.

"Is there something wrong with my newspaper?"

".No, it's nothing."

Although I wish I could yell at the other party and teach him a lesson, after all, the matter has passed, and in terms of the result, the damage caused to myself is not too great. The most important thing is

The opponent's strength is too buggy. Even if he wants to teach him a lesson, he doesn't seem to have the strength.

Takeya has never seen the monster in front of him. This is indeed a fact, but he knows the existence of the other party. He once investigated this publication because Reimu complained that the Bunbun News was full of useless nonsense. Article by reporter monster.

Semei Maruwen, whose race is Tengu, lives in the Youkai Mountain, and belongs to the line of monsters that have existed since the establishment of Gensokyo. The ability that Takeya can "see" is the ability to control the wind.

To borrow Reimu's words, the Tengu monster in front of him has the fastest speed in Gensokyo when it comes to moving on foot. Reimu, who tried to trouble her several times, had to give up because he couldn't catch up.

Although she appears to be harmless, it is still unknown what kind of strength she possesses.

Anyway, it’s definitely not weak.

Tengu is the most well-known race of Japanese monsters. In the traditional sense, the image should be a big red face, a tall nose, a gibbon-like appearance, holding a round fan, and very tall.

Some say they live in the mountains and have supernatural powers. Some say they have a pair of wings on their backs and can fly freely in the sky. Some say they are so powerful that they can easily tear humans apart.

In the Tengu society, they have many categories, including the leader Otengu who holds management positions, the White Wolf Tengu who serves as bodyguards, the extremely fast Crow Tengu who serve as reconnaissance troops, and the others include the High Tengu, the Yamabushi Tengu, and so on.

Shemeimaruwen should belong to the Crow Tengu among the Tengu.

In other words, it was a powerful being that Takeya could not handle alone.

"Saimemaru, miss? What are you doing at the shrine?"

After the initial surprise, Takeru quickly regained his composure. He couldn't beat him anyway, but in a sense, the opponent "couldn't beat" him. After understanding this, he no longer struggled.

"If she is here to see Reimu, she seems to have gone out."

"No, no, I'm not here as a miko. I'm here specifically to see you, Takeya-kun."

"Find me?"

Wu Ye was stunned. He really couldn't imagine that the other party would come to him specifically for something.

"It seems that Takeya-kun still doesn't know where Reimu has gone."

"Uh, where did she go?"

"I met her among people before."

He gave an answer that was not too surprising to Takeya, but the next words were——

"I saw her coming out of Suzuna-an with a package in her hand."

"pack?"

Wu also asked curiously.

"It's really strange, did Reimu bring special products back from Suzunaian?"

"No, it's not a specialty."

Shemeimaruwen shook his head and said an answer that left Takeya speechless.

"It's money."

"."

"I asked carefully, and there are about ten strings."

"Ten passes?!"

Takeya was really surprised this time. He knew that there were almost no pilgrims at the shrine where Reimu usually went. It was said that someone once put 100 coins into the money box. He remembered that Reimu seemed to be happy about it for several days. .

Now that he suddenly started with Shiguan, he couldn't imagine what Lingmeng looked like now.

"I would like to ask, what happens next?"

"Huh? After what?"

"That's right, what happened after Reimu took the money? Didn't he return directly to the shrine?"

"Ah, no."

Sheming Wanwen said as if recalling:

"I seem to remember that Miss Lingmeng said that she would buy all kinds of tea, as well as snacks and so on. She should be shopping now."

"Shopping."

Even such a distant word is linked to the Hakurei miko Reimu-san who is famous for her poverty. This world is really crazy.

But why did Reimu suddenly get so much money?

With doubts in his heart, Takeya spoke to Semei Maruwen, who probably knew the truth.

"Um, Miss Shemeimaru Fumi."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Wenwen."

"Uh, okay, Miss Wenwen?"

"Um."

He didn't have so many concerns with monsters. Takeru simply adapted and continued:

"Ahem, Miss Bunbun, do you know why Reimu got so much money from Suzuna-an?"

After hesitating for a moment, he added in a low voice:

"Could it have been snatched by a poor man?"

"Haha, no."

Wen Wen looked at him with a smile and said:

"It's dividends, dividends."

"What? Dividends?"

"That's right, don't you know? "Hakurei Miko's Strange Story" was written with inspiration from Reimu-san."

"."

Damn it, isn't it? This kind of ghost thing is actually really popular. Has the IQ of the monsters in Gensokyo been defeated by that chuunibyou?

Ps: The money setting in Gensokyo refers to the exchange rate during the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins.
