Chapter 3481 Red and White Princess: I Have Few Friends

It is neither attached to the Dark Continent like Dragon Paradise, nor adjacent to the Dark Continent like Heaven and Hell. It does not exist in any of the Three Realms, but is connected to any of the Three Realms. It is independent of the world, but intersects with the world. It is a fantasy world that is in contradiction at the moment of being a parallel line and an intersection.

Gensokyo is as peaceful as ever today.

In the deep mountains of the far east, it starts with an inconspicuous stone staircase that is almost buried by weeds, winding up along the top of the mountain. When it is about to reach the top, the stone staircase that appears and disappears from time to time slowly becomes wider and a little bit more imposing. Of course, it is only a little bit.

Crossing the widest and most imposing stone staircase, you will see the vermilion torii in front of you. The simple shrine inside the torii also ushered in its daily life today, burning in the blazing fire.

The girl with strange wings and wearing loose pajamas flew over the shrine, made a face at the shrine wrapped in flames, and patted her immature buttocks.

"Stupid Reimu, if you have the guts, come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to challenge us. My sister and I are always waiting for you."

After saying that, she turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky. She was a real naughty kid, but the burning of the shrine seemed to have gone beyond the scope of a naughty kid. Of course, for Gensokyo and the shrine, this was a normal daily routine.

In the raging fire, there was only one place where the flames could not be explored, and even the eyes could not enter it. It seemed to be a world within a world independent of Gensokyo, isolating everything, whether it was life or non-life, material or non-material. For those who were not allowed, this place was non-existent, and their perception and cognition would never be able to reach here.

In this independent world, a golden skeleton sits quietly in the center of the space. In the skeleton's arms, a girl with a red skirt and white sleeves sleeping quietly. It is warm and mysterious.

As if she had been sleeping for a long time, or just blinked for a moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing her calm eyes. The pupils in her eyes were emotionless, leaving only endless majesty, as if she was a god who had gone through a long baptism and all emotions had been erased.

She blinked a few more times, gradually regaining some spirit, dexterity, popularity, and the breath of the high god gradually weakened, like a fairy exiled to the earth, and turned back into an ordinary girl... uh, probably.

"It seems that the time is still not up." Like a dream, the girl who just opened her eyes murmured in a low voice.

"If this is your will, then I will carry it out to the end."

After saying that, she rubbed against the skeleton's arms with great attachment, then stood up reluctantly, turned around, said goodbye to the skeleton, and walked away lightly.

From the gap between the unknown world, she returned to her world, Gensokyo.

Then...

She was instantly engulfed by the flames and was at a loss.

"Cough... cough cough... Which bastard is it... Well, no need to guess, it must be the two troublemakers from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, cough cough cough... Don't let me catch you, otherwise... cough cough... cough cough cough... Otherwise I will strip you two damn vampires naked and hang you upside down on the Torii to attract customers, cough cough cough..."

It seems that this method is feasible. After all, there are luoli control in every world. Maybe someone really came to the shrine from afar to see those two vampires with no breasts and no buttocks. Just throw a few coins into the money box, small coins, jingling, it won't take long to raise funds to rebuild the shrine.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. But first, I had to escape from the sea of ​​fire if I didn't want to live forever in it.

The wide white sleeves of the shrine maiden covered her mouth and nose, and she rushed out of the flames with a whine, wiped her half-blackened white face, and put out the sparks on the skirt behind her buttocks.

The Lord of Gensokyo, the only designated shrine maiden in red and white armpits, looked back at the shrine that had turned into charcoal, and decisively gave up treatment.

There's no hope, so let's rebuild it.

How to rebuild it? The experienced Princess Red and White immediately came up with two solutions.

Either raise funds and ask the carpenters and villagers at the foot of the mountain to help build it.

Or... catch free labor.

Do it yourself? This option does not exist, because the great shrine maiden of Gensokyo never does useless work. Anyway, sooner or later, the two bastard vampires will burn it down after the reconstruction.

She found the only money box that survived the flames, opened the secret door in the box, and reached into it again and again. There was a lonely and crisp sound of clanging, and finally she took out a few copper coins.

Not enough.

Far from enough, in short, not even enough for a piece of wood.

No choice, she could only find free labor.

With a sigh of giving up, at this time, a faint sound came from the sky, from far to near, when the word "dream" in the voice of "Stupid~ Egg~ Spirit~ Dream~" was dragged to the end, a figure appeared.

The red and white princess flashed sideways with an expressionless face, and the petite figure with six ice wings floating behind her pounced into the air, and failed to land, prostrated herself on the ground and scraped a long way away, and then did not move.

Could he be dead?

Just when she was about to flee for fear of crime, the other party suddenly jumped up from the ground, rushed over aggressively, and shouted loudly.

"Cirno misses her mother, take Cirno home quickly, Cirno wants to find her mother!"

"Wait." The red and white princess's clever eyes turned, and she had a plan in mind.

"You also know that the shrine is the only way to the outside world in Gensokyo."

"Cirno wants a mother!!!"

"But now, the shrine has been burned down by bad guys."

"Cirno wants a mother!!!"

"So, if you want to see Wu's mother, you must rebuild the shrine no matter what."

"Cirno wants a mother!!!"

With a "boom", the ice fairy named Cirno fell down with smoke coming from her forehead.

"Now, can Wu understand what people are saying?" The armpit-baring miko in red and white clothes asked sternly as she pumped her fist and put on her strongest posture in Gensokyo.

"Anyway... in any case, just repair the shrine, right." Cirno covered her forehead, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, and succumbed to the minions of the evil forces.

"In short, that's right. As long as the shrine is rebuilt, everything will be easy."

"Idiot Reimu, lazy bastard Reimu, the second most hateful villain in the world, Reimu." Cirno muttered. As for the most hateful guy in the world, of course he was the most lazy and greedy idiot who dared to steal his mother from her. Ignorant, arrogant and stupid Crystal.

"Okay, the smart Cirno-sama will help you rebuild the shrine now. If you lie to Cirno-sama, Cirno-sama will demolish your shrine."

"Easy to say, easy to say." The red and white princess smiled and narrowed her eyes. She sat in front of the torii gate. She didn't know where the hot water came from, a teapot, and a set of teacups. She made a cup of hot tea and leaned against the vermilion pillar. , took a slow sip, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Well, the weather is nice today, so it's a good time to go demolish the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Turning to Cirno from the corner of his eye, he saw her fluttering six ice wings and turning into a blue light and disappearing into the sky. He was a little curious, but after a while, she came back again, and then heard a hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The real sound of working hard.

Before I finished drinking the pot of hot tea, I heard Cirno's arrogant loud announcement.

"Okay, Cirno-sama has rebuilt the shrine. You idiot Reimu, hurry up and fulfill your promise. Cirno-sama wants to see mom!"

Turning back stiffly and looking at the alternative shrine in front of her, the Red and White Princess rubbed her temples: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have the slightest expectation from a fool like you."

"The guy who calls other people stupid is a fool. Do you have any dissatisfaction with the shrine built by the smart Lord Cirno?" Cirno crossed his arms with an air of greatness on his face.

"First of all." The Red and White Princess put down her tea cup and pointed at the shrine made of ice in front of her.

"Wouldn't it be over in this damn place once the weather gets hot?"

"Don't worry, Cirno-sama's specially made ice won't melt even if it's burned by fire."

"Thank you for caring about this level, but you will catch a cold if you live in it. It's too cold."

"Only idiots catch colds."

"No, only idiots don't catch colds."

"This is what mom said. Since you don't even believe what mom said, Reimu is indeed a big fool."

"Okay, let's put this topic aside for now." Giving up the unnecessary argument, the Red and White Princess rubbed her temples vigorously again, and her eyes fell on the shrine again.

The shrine made of ice cubes is translucent and reflects colorful colors under the sunlight. It is beautiful. It is true to say that, but because it is translucent, you can see inside the ice cubes, which seem to be inlaid. There are some weird ones. Something beyond comprehension.

"Last question, what is the thing embedded in the ice cube?"

"frog."

"What is that thing embedded in the ice cube?" The red and white princess looked blank, as if she didn't hear the other party's answer, or she had the idea of ​​​​escaping reality, so she asked again mechanically and repeatedly.

"frog."

"Hey!" A flying kick from the underworld smashed the shrine to pieces. Thousands of frogs escaped from the ice, as if they had awakened from hibernation, croaking, jumping and scurrying around. move.

"Ah, the frogs that Cirno finally collected!"

"I need some normal, free labor." Ignoring Cirno who was kneeling on her knees and screaming, the red and white princess who had accomplished something very satisfying clapped her hands and said in deep thought.

"Let's go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to play."

"don't want."

"Don't you miss Wu's mother?"

"But Cirno just went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion yesterday."

"People die for money, and birds die for food. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. In order to pursue interests and achieve goals, yesterday's friends are today's enemies. Cirno, you should learn to think like an adult." Pushing up the frames of her non-existent glasses, the red and white princess looked social, as if she had been there.

"Cirno ate delicious biscuits, cakes, and black tea yesterday. Today, I came to the idiot Reimu. There is nothing delicious, and I have to rebuild the shrine." Although Cirno is stupid, there are many benefits to whichever camp she joins. But she knew it clearly in her heart.

"The other party just has a good maid. Without her, the Scarlet Devil Mansion would be a gathering of useless people and abandoned houses. Those two idiot vampires can't even wipe the shit out of their eyes!"

"But there are cakes, biscuits, black tea, and there are people to play with Cirno." Cirno stretched her fingers, and it was like shooting four sharp arrows, which were accurately inserted into the heart of the red and white princess.

"What a realistic world, what a realistic mortal."

"Hehehe, this is the world of adults, stupid Reimu won't understand." Shaking her index finger, Cirno straightened her chest and laughed, thinking she was mature.

"I've had enough of being a stupid general like you. Think about it carefully. Which is more important, mom or biscuits, cakes and black tea?"

"Of course mom is more important." Cirno answered without hesitation.

"Then hurry to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and capture labor."

"But why go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"Didn't we say to capture labor? Those two idle vampires may also be able to take a capable maid with them."

"So free labor is enough, is that what you mean? Can the smart Cirno understand the nonsense of the stupid Reimu in this way?"

"Remove the strange prefix, or turn it around, it's roughly the same meaning."

"Wait a minute." Cirno turned into a blue light and disappeared again. This time she was away for a little longer. Just when the Red and White Princess was wondering if the other party had run away, Cirno came back.

Followed by a large group of light spots.

"I brought helpers." She landed on the ground, greeted the Red and White Princess, and pointed to the fairies next to her.

"Lumia." The cute shy little girl with blond hair blushed and lowered her head.

"Dai-chan." The girl with long green hair, a slim figure, and a slightly mature look smiled kindly.

"And everyone." And a group of fairies behind him, about 40 or 50 in number.

"Then, the clever Cirno-sama made a major discovery." Cirno turned around, pointed at the red and white princess, and said with a serious face, even with a little pity.

"Stupid Reimu, no friends."

No friends...

Have friends...

Friends...

Friends...

...

The next day, with the efforts of many fairies, the shrine was finally rebuilt.

"Go home, Cirno is going back to her mother!" The fairies sang and danced, and Cirno pulled Rumia and Dai-chan, hand in hand and spun in circles.

In sharp contrast to the cheerful atmosphere over there, at the foot of the torii, in front of the money box, facing the brand new shrine, the rising sun penetrated the red and white armpit-exposed shrine maiden's bow-tied girl, the pale white figure that seemed to be about to leave her body at any time.

Because of the innocent words of a child, the critical strike came so suddenly that the shameless witch with 100,000 gold coins could not bear it for a moment and was lost at the crossroads of life...
