What the Ice Fairy is referring to is not a real dog, but two Komatsu statues placed in front of the shrine, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the entrance. These things are very old. Even Yakumo Murasaki can't tell when exactly they have existed.
¡°When I wake up, they are already there!¡±
How long is this guy¡¯s hibernation period?
I usually don¡¯t pay much attention to them, and I didn¡¯t notice anything unusual about the two statues. Now that Cirno reminded me, I noticed that the one on the left was missing about a third of its right ear.
"Really?"
"Did you get eaten by something?"
"Nonsense, this is made of stone"
The girls stopped listening to the story and surrounded the statue, chattering away. The naughty Flandre even wanted to climb up, so I quickly lifted her up and put her back on the ground.
"This is a Komatsu dog."
I touched Cirno¡¯s head and corrected her previous statement.
"Isn't it a dog?"
"no."
The prototype of the Kom Dog is a lion, although its appearance is completely out of shape.
¡°Then why is it called ¡®dog¡¯?¡±
"Well¡¡"
It¡¯s rare that this little guy has so many questions today! Normally, she would give up research quickly on things that required her to use her brain.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain it to the girl, he saw Reimu and the others coming over.
"What's wrong?"
When an abnormal situation is discovered, it is naturally impossible for Hakurei Miko to not react at all. After all, this is her home, and if something goes wrong, it will be serious.
"The dogwell, the Komatsu's ears are gone."
"Aha?"
The girl was stunned for a while, and when she looked up, she saw that one of the statues had part of its ears missing from the top of its head.
"Who did it?"
The witch glared at these brats with murderous intent, and reminded them again and again not to damage their own things, but something went wrong in the end?
"not me."
"It has nothing to do with others."
"Uh-huh."
The girls quickly raised their hands and shook their heads vigorously, indicating that it had nothing to do with them.
"It's really not you?"
Lingmeng¡¯s tone was still a bit questioning, but in his heart he basically believed it.
These little girls are very naughty, but at least they know how to control their behavior and rarely do anything that makes people angry.
¡°I really didn¡¯t lie to you!¡±
"correct."
Just as the miko lady was about to speak, another person jumped out.
"The first person to discover it is a fool, so she is the most suspect."
Otonashi Chiba, remember, isn¡¯t that what happened in those comics? The first guy to show up at the murder scene is basically the criminal.
"What did you say?"
Suffering an unjust injustice by accident, the goblin girl became furious on the spot and stretched out her hands to pinch the opponent's face.
"I was sitting next to you just now. Don't you know if I have done this before?"
"Hey, that's right!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was being attacked.
"It hurts so much Damn it, let me go!"
"Don't let go, you asked for it."
How dare you slander yourself out of thin air, saying that you have to let the other party accept punishment.
¡°Hiss¡ªthen don¡¯t blame others.¡±
"Wow!!!"
Ignoring the two little fools pinching each other's faces, the girls turned their attention to the Koamu dog again.
"From the fracture analysis, it should have been damaged within the past two days."
I said, then separated Cirno and Otonashi Chiba. If they continue to pinch, their cheeks will swell.
"It was indeed you who did it."
Now, there is really no way to clear away the suspicion!
"Fool, we haven't been here these days."
"Well¡¡"
Yes! I almost forgot about this one!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Are there some people who have been staying in the shrine these days, eating and drinking for free.
"Hurry up and admit it! Cuixiang."
"Why do you suspect me?"
The ghost girl expressed her indignation and grievance. She's not Marisa, so her credibility isn't that low, right?
"Why didn't you suspect her?"
Ibuki Suika pointed at the little girl who was working hard with Wo-chan and shouted, she is not the only one who lives in Hakurei Shrine with nothing to do all day long.
"What she said is absolutely impossible."
"Why?"
It¡¯s really heartbreaking. Could it be that in Reimu¡¯s heart, that child is more trustworthy than himself?
"It's not like they're edible, Mingmeng has no interest in them!"
""
The miko¡¯s answer was so reasonable that Ibuki Suika couldn¡¯t say a word for a long time.
"Anyway, in short, I really haven't done it!"
¡°Perhaps you accidentally broke it when you were drunk.¡±
Once she had a few too many glasses of wine, the other party would throw the metal objects hanging on the chains around, and she had broken many stone lanterns in front of the hall because of this.
"this¡¡"
Ibuki Suixiang was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, the possibility seems quite high!
On the back of the statue, there were a few scratches that were not particularly obvious.
Ibuki Suixiang stretched out her hand, compared the marks, and shook her head.
The size is almost the same, but
"Too shallow."
The ghost tribe's strength is already very strong, but they don't know how to limit it after being drunk. If she had scratched it with her claws, the traces left would definitely be more than ten times deeper than the current one, and she could even scratch the stone sculpture to death. possible.
"The shape is also wrong. If you grab it directly with your fingernails, it must be longer and sharper."
"Chirp¡ª¡ª"
After hearing the man¡¯s explanation, everyone turned to look at Remilia, including her younger sister.
The eldest vampire lady was at a loss for a moment, and then she became furious.
"That's enough, you idiots"
After researching for a long time, I still found nothing.
Thinking about it, this pair of Kooma dogs have been guarding the entrance of the shrine for I don¡¯t know how many years, but today they were brutally attacked and half of their ears were missing Well, it doesn¡¯t seem to be a big deal! It would be better to say that this kind of incompleteness is more in line with their vicissitudes of life.
However, this does not mean that Reimu has forgiven the person who did it. After all, they were left behind by their predecessors who didn¡¯t know which generation they were, and they were already considered precious antiquities.
"If I get caught"
As punishment, the other party must work hard at Hakurei Shrine for a few years no matter what.
However, there were too many things to do right now, and she didn¡¯t have enough time to waste on a statue, so the matter ended up being left to chance.
¡°¡That¡¯s what I thought.¡±
After holding up the teacup, the girl put it down again, biting her lip slightly and showing a somewhat confused expression.
"The next day, when I woke up in the morning, I found an extra fish at the door."
I had just woken up and was still a little dazed, so I almost stepped on it!
"oh¡¡"
The man¡¯s reaction was too bland, casting an even darker shadow on Hakurei Miko¡¯s originally gloomy face.
"So, who caught it?"
Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, I quickly corrected my attitude.
"have no idea."
I asked Cuixiang and she said it had nothing to do with her. Mingmeng didn't need to think about it. There was no need to wait until morning, it must have entered her stomach early in the morning!
If you think that this is the end of things, you are totally wrong.
¡°Even stranger things are yet to come!¡±
In the early morning of the third day, a handful of wild fruits was placed at the door. It tasted pretty good and everyone shared it without any hesitation. On the fourth day, what Reimu received was a lively rabbit, which was currently kept at home.
Ibuki Suixiang planned to roast it and eat it, but she was strongly opposed by Ming Meng.
The girl probably fell in love with it, but she didn¡¯t know how long that little thing could live in the other person¡¯s hands.
Anyway, Ibuki Suixiang didn¡¯t believe that Ming Meng had the ability to take care of small animals.??Its fate will not change much, it will still be eaten by someone.
"Isn't this great?"
Even if I don¡¯t understand the reason, I hope someone gives me such a gift! Unfortunately, it has always been them who take away things from my house in large and small packages.
"That's good! It's just"
The girl frowned slightly. Inexplicably, someone left food at her door every day, and she didn't know who the person was. It was still a bit worrying.
What if these things are poisoned?
Don¡¯t think that this is Reimu alone with his wild thoughts. There are many monsters in Gensokyo who harbor resentment towards Hakurei Miko! A moment of laxity and carelessness may put you in an impossible situation.
Even if it is not as exaggerated as she guessed, she still doesn't like to receive favors from others for no reason.
"so¡¡"
"I reject."
"I haven't said anything yet!"
Lingmeng suddenly became furious. Before he could finish his words, this bastard started shaking his head.
"Staying up late is not good for your health."
I understand what she¡¯s thinking, isn¡¯t it just to find out that person¡¯s true identity? But in this season, it is very cold at night. In particular, the process of squatting must be kept as quiet as possible. It is best not to make even the slightest sound. It is simply too boring.
How can you pass the long nights when you can¡¯t do anything?
""
"Similar words, Ibuki Suika also mentioned it to Hakurei Miko. What was even more irritating was that before she could force him to do something, the guy had already fled.
This cunning brat!
"Hmph! If I don't help, I won't help. It's not like I can't do it without you."
Since these bastards are unwilling to take action, they can only rely on themselves!
"Don't be anxious yet."
Seeing Lingmeng angrily getting up and leaving, I raised my right hand and pressed it a few times to signal her to calm down.
"It's impossible to keep an eye on you at night, but I can give you something as a friendly gift!"
If such a simple thing has to trouble me, there is no point tinkering with so many props.
"this is¡¡"
The girl looked left and right, and found that what the man handed her looked like an eyeball, but it was hard when pinched, so it was probably not a real thing.
"[Eye of the Sky]."
Although it is not a very powerful invention, it is just right for her to use.
¡°With it, you don¡¯t need to be guarded by anyone, but you can also know who is leaving things at your door every night.¡±
