Chapter 2025 The Scarlet Devil Mansion

***

Red and White Princess: "..."

He stared at me with a sound that seemed to be like "ji~~~~".

"Wait...wait, why are you looking at me like that?" I said seriously that I couldn't stand it anymore.

"The palace."

"The palace and whatnot are just legends after all. Maybe there is a deep-sea ten-thousand-year-old cannibal seal hidden under the lake. The risk is too great."

"This is the lake..."

"Then it's the Deep Lake Ten Thousand Years Cannibal Chapter."

"Don't lie, there is no such thing as an octopus in the lake."

"Tsk." I said harshly. This moral witch always has common sense in places where she shouldn't have common sense.

"Then it's the Loch Ness Monster. With a hiss, it sticks out its snake head to eat people and then shrinks back. It has killed countless lives over the years. It's terrible, it's terrible."

"Although I don't know what the Loch Ness Monster is, this is the Lake of Mist." The Red and White Princess obviously didn't give up.

"It's just the monsters that get it anyway."

"According to what Wu said, wouldn't that idiot have been eaten long ago?"

"No, no, no, isn't there such a thing as a wolf child? A baby raised by a wolf, maybe Cirno too."

The Red and White Princess and I started to argue about the lake beast, but no one could convince the other.

"Assuming what Wu said is true, as the guardian of Gensokyo, I have the responsibility to go and find out what's going on. Don't worry, the enemies will be dealt with by me."

At this moment, a radiant sense of historical responsibility, mission, and honor bloomed behind the Red and White Princess. The shaking blinded me and I was stunned.

Why are you so determined to find the palace? I convey this meaning with my eyes.

"Speaking of the palace, aren't there a lot of good things in it? Not to mention other things, just the glittering golden throne, if it is dismantled, it will definitely be sold for a lot of money." The red and white princess revealed the true purpose without any sense of shame. , the pupils turned into the shape of gold coins.

I:"……"

Then we can't let you go down. How can we let you dismantle the Ice Queen's throne?

"I hate it. I'm not the real Ice Queen. What do you mind about this?" The other party seemed to have read my thoughts. He looked like a middle-aged Obasan again, waved and laughed, as if to say, this kind of Don't worry about the details. All we have to do is follow the money.

"Sorry, although I am not the Ice Queen, my daughter is, or I should say she will be in the future. How can I let you dismantle her throne." I made a cross in front of my chest and made a beeping sound of denial.

"Tsk, did your motherly nature explode so quickly?" The red and white princess tilted her head. Clicking tongue.

The German-style arch bridge fell, let’s go!

After a bit of chasing each other, the red and white princess and I both gasped slightly.

"Maybe there is a divine weapon in the palace, are you really not tempted?" Princess Red and White continued to try to pull me into the abyss with her seductive voice.

The artifact... I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to it, but...

"Even if there is, it should be something left for Cirno. Let her get it." Looking at the bottom of the lake. I said.

"Don't feel embarrassed. Isn't it natural for parents to take away their children's things?"

No, no, please feel embarrassed.

Besides, I don't lack for artifacts either. I already have two on me, as well as a staff that I don't plan to use. And Talasha's two artifacts, etc., seriously, in the Dark Continent. There should be few people who have handled more artifacts than me. Of course, this statement must exclude the twelve Bai Fumei from the Elf Clan, and of course, His Majesty the King of Bai Fumei.

I coughed a few times, and among these many reasons, I picked out the most interesting one.

"Even if I have a divine weapon, I won't be able to use it, given my level."

That's right, Horasan's artifact staff can only be regarded as a special example. Like Talasha's artifact, which is not a level 10 equipment, you will look at it with indifference. Maybe there is [Exclusively for the Ice Queen] on the artifact. Such a strange attribute, a fake like me... Well, in short, even if it can be used, I won't take it. I will leave it to Cirno. What I lack now is not a divine weapon.

Hey, by the way, why did the topic of discussion turn into the setting of "there is really a palace at the bottom of the lake, and there is really a divine weapon in the palace"? Everything just now was just the imagination of the Red and White Princess. In fact, it was probably a lie. What are the two of us fighting over here?

At this point, even the Red and White Princess was speechless. The defeated Otz fell down, leaving behind the sad tears of the poor shrine maiden.

I can only use nine words to describe this: a miserable miko who is completely unworthy of sympathy.

"It's better to go find Cirno quickly." The longing feelings of homesickness came to my heart again, and I urged the red and white princess to leave.

"Wait, where should I look? That's the question."

"Aren't you the guardian of Gensokyo? Shouldn't you be able to detect the opponent's specific location by just raising a hair at this time?"

"What kind of weird guy do you think the guardian of Gensokyo is? What's going on with the stupid guy? I have a lot of moral integrity."

"Please be sure to stay safe!"

"Anyway, according to what I know about that idiot, she is either playing pranks near the village now, or she has gone to play with her friends elsewhere."

"I should go find other friends to play." I still have some confidence in Cirno, after all, I just taught her a few days ago.

"Okay, then go and ask her friends."

"Does it mean Rumia?"

"Well, there are a few more besides. They all live in this forest and are easy to find." The Red and White Princess nodded.

"How about I just spread out some aura, so that Cirno can be attracted here." I thought of a good idea.

"It's best not to do this. The Scarlet Devil Mansion is deep inside. If they notice it, I won't have any problem. I have long wanted to demolish their gloomy villa. What should I do? "The red and white princess glanced at me and asked.

"Then forget it, I can't afford to offend you." I sighed. Shake his head.

"Wise choice. If I'm not here, those guys might be in a good mood and ignore Wu. But since I'm by Wu's side, they will definitely regard Wu as my partner and attack him with all their strength."

"How on earth do you have such a grudge? It seems that there is no irreconcilable hatred that cannot be compromised."

"God knows, the reason has been forgotten a long time ago. Maybe it's just because I am good and they are evil. It's that simple."

"It sounds very profound. But you don't look like you are on the upright side. If you have to classify it, you can only classify it as [the unscrupulous side]."

"What a shame, this guy doesn't understand women's hearts."

As we walked noisily all the way, gradually, the fog in front began to fade again, confirming that we had gradually left the scope of the Lake of Mist. But instead, a faint red aura slowly appeared.

This should be a sign of approaching the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I had no choice but to let out a bitter smile. Gensokyo is really a dangerous place.

Gradually, the forest in front began to become dim. Even through the gaps between the leaves, you could see that the sky above your head was still blue and white, as if it was shrouded in darkness.

"Rumia's home should be nearby." I judged.

"Probably. That child, as a monster, shouldn't live here, but... alas."

Thinking of something, the red and white princess sighed and stopped talking.

Although I really want to know what that sigh means, but look at her appearance. He probably didn't plan to tell me anymore, and it would be useless to ask.

"Cirno usually plays with me?"

"There's that Rumia, and there's an unknown big fairy, all together. They're called the Three Idiot Monsters of Gensokyo."

"Hey, don't give others such nicknames without permission."

I expressed my dissatisfaction. The most important thing is that this nickname reminds me of the Three Heroes of Lu Gaoyin back then. It makes me cry when I say it too much.

"This is not unauthorized. Although the big goblin is not stupid, his average IQ was seriously lowered by the other two."

"Cirno is not as stupid as I thought, and the Rumia I saw is not stupid at all, uh...probably." I defended with a little lack of confidence.

"Forget it, there's nothing to argue with a daughter-in-law like He Wu." Princess Hongbai looked at me with contempt and cut off the topic.

"..." How could my extremely secret hidden attributes be seen through so easily? This guy really shouldn't be underestimated.

"How come I still don't feel their breath?" After walking for a while, I saw the Scarlet Devil Mansion getting closer and closer. I felt a little uneasy, maybe I was caught and bullied by the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Maybe he went to have barbecue at Night Bird's."

"What is a night sparrow?" I was a little dumbfounded.

"Yeah, it's the nickname of a monster. It's called that because it has the wings of a night sparrow...probably."

"What does it mean? What does eating barbecue mean?" I was completely confused.

"You're so stupid, isn't that what you mean literally? That guy opened a barbecue restaurant, it's that simple."

"A monster opens a barbecue restaurant? Make money?"

"Generally speaking, it's not for this purpose. The guy opened the barbecue restaurant just to vent, probably."

"Why are you venting? Why don't you always add generalizations at the end and just say you don't know if you don't know?"

"Lamprey Barbecue Restaurant. It is said that lamprey is her enemy, so she opened a barbecue restaurant."

"..." The more I listened, the more confused I became.

"But the grilled hagujon there does taste good."

"Have you ever eaten there?!"

"Yeah, I still owe money. By the way, I don't plan to pay it back."

"You evil city manager!"

"That guy likes to sing to attract customers."

"Are you good at singing?"

"Well, that's why we call her Night Bird. I don't know if it's her place, but her barbecue restaurant usually doesn't open until after dusk."

“Unexpectedly, the barbecue restaurant is open for business!”

"Anyway, let's go deeper and take a look. I hope I can avoid the attention of those guys in the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Continuing walking, walking, suddenly, the big trees and shrubs blocking the road in front spread to both sides, exposing a large open space.

The suddenly increased field of vision made me squint slightly and look forward. Suddenly, on this empty grassland, about a few miles away, I saw another lake.

This lake is not a foggy lake shrouded in thick fog. The water inside is actually blood red in color, exuding a strong depressing atmosphere.

Looking up, I saw the red mist-shrouded sky in the forest. It has already appeared above the head!

Unknowingly, he had arrived near the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Looking forward, I saw an ancient villa in the center of the blood-red lake, looming in the red mist.

"That's the Scarlet Devil Mansion." I said decisively without having to guess.

"That's right. A concentration camp for evil elements." The red and white princess showed a solemn look, as if she was about to bravely enter the dragon's pool and the tiger's den.

At this moment, I saw three figures, two of which were extremely familiar.

One has six ice wings on his back, one is always shrouded in a huge darkness, and there is another unknown goblin who is older than Cirno.

The idiot daughter found out!

"Cirno." I waved to them in the distance.

"Are you an idiot?" The red and white princess was startled.

"Ah. It's mom." A blue hair on Cirno's forehead stood up straight and made a beeping sound. She quickly turned around and swooped over.

Not to be outdone, another group of darkness dissipated, revealing Rumia, who also flew towards her.

"So you are here. Why did you end up in such a dangerous place? It's easy for me to find you." I hugged the two of them, and I touched their heads with satisfaction and kissed them on the cheek.

"Dangerous place?" Cirno in her arms tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah, isn't it?"

"But Cirno doesn't feel any danger. Cirno and everyone want to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

I:"……"

I was speechless for a moment, and then I raised my head. With indifferent eyes, he stared at the red and white princess who turned her head away with a guilty conscience.

I said, is the Scarlet Devil Mansion really as scary and evil as you described? Or should I say that the real evil element in Gensokyo is you, the unscrupulous miko?

"Hey, Cirno's mother? I was a little skeptical at first, but I didn't expect it to be true." At this moment, an unfamiliar clear voice came.

I raised my head and saw the strange goblin, circling around me and sighing.

She has a pair of dragonfly-like translucent fairy wings, long cyan hair, and a single ponytail. She wears a blue dress with a white background similar to Cirno, but has a mature and delicate face that Cirno and the others don't have. A fairy with a mature figure.

Thinking of Princess Kohaku's previous introduction about Cirno's friends, I already knew the identity of the fairy in front of me. It was indeed a [big] fairy, what a simple and clear name.

This beautiful elf who looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a mature figure and appearance, looked like the big sister of Cirno and the others. After carefully observing me, she showed a simple and hearty smile. It looked like Not a difficult goblin.
