.    Chapter 21 Midwinter

    "Xianglin!"

    The door opened with a bang, and Marisa's energetic voice came from behind.

    ¡°Although I have corrected her many times, my name is Wright Baldwin.  But this guy can't always remember the same thing.

    "Since you are the master of Xianglin Hall, then you are naturally Xianglin." Marisa said to me plausibly.

    "up to you."

    After dozens of corrections to no avail, I just let her call me that.  Anyway, there won¡¯t be a piece of flesh missing.  What's more, Wright Baldwin is not my name in the strict sense.

    Since I opened such a small shop outside the Magic Forest, Marisa, who lives in the Magic Forest, and another magician have become my regular customers.  Of course, no matter what else, the losses Marisa brought to me definitely outweighed the gains.  This careless guy often breaks things in the store with his careless hands.  Then he ran away before I got angry.  Continue to come here shamelessly the next day.  It's like nothing happened.

    In addition, my small shop has become another means of livelihood for Marisa - so far, it has almost surpassed her main business, the Master House - I mean Kirisame Magic Shop.  It became her best place to make money.

    That was the very beginning. I saw Marisa having nothing to do. She stayed in my shop for the whole day. She was even more Reimu than Reimu.  I can't stand it a little bit.  I told her that if she had time, she could go to Wuyuan Tomb to pick up some "rags" and bring them to me.

    "What? Who wants to go to a ghost place like that?"

    So Marisa said this without looking back.

    "Can you just think of it as doing me a favor?"

    Marisa thought about it for a moment, then looked at the sun and saw that it was almost dark.  He just said, "Come here to play again tomorrow." Then he walked away.

    Forget it, just leave.  It¡¯s time for me to stop working and go to the Human Residence to escort Mystia home, and then go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to tell Fran a story.

    As a result, when I opened the store the next day, Marisa was the first to run over with a sack on her back, and then shouted: "Xiang Lin!" and then threw the sack on my counter.

    "Be careful!" I looked at her simple and crude actions and felt extremely uncomfortable. I was afraid that if she was not careful, she would damage something in the store again.  I collected these with great difficulty.  If it breaks, you will probably never find it again.

    "Why are you so stingy - I brought a lot of rags this time - I mean treasures!"

    Looking at Marisa's extremely bright smile, I opened the sack with hesitation, and then asked: "Did you go to the Tomb of Merit last night? Didn't you say that it is dangerous there at night? Ghosts, monsters  Ah, there are ghosts and stuff everywhere."

    "Don't worry, I'm very strong. Those crappy things are no match for me!" Marisa said as she rolled up her sleeves to show off her non-existent biceps.

    It doesn¡¯t matter.

    Since she looked at me with that expectant look, I'll just take a look Well, the broken desk lamp the ak47 broken in two a few hiking boots that didn't fit at all.  Bazooka.  They are all useless junk.

    "How is it? It's very rare, isn't it? I took a long time to pick it out - I mean I picked it up casually." Marisa's eyes flashed, as if to say: "Come on, praise me." Like this.  .

    "Okay, I've accepted all these things." I thought about it and felt that it was rare for people to be willing to help, and it would be too much to say nothing.  So he took out a bunch of copper coins - this was what another magician paid yesterday to buy cloth.  Then it entered Marisa's hand.

    "This is what I paid for these things." I said.

    "Eh?!" Marisa looked completely unexpected: "Can these rags be exchanged for money? Xianglin, are you out of your mind?!"

    ¡°I admit that these things are shabby

    "Okay, okay, these things may seem fake to you. But in my opinion, they are rare treasures."

    God knows where these treasures are.

    "Really? Then you only paid such a small amount, are you too stingy? Are you going to raise the price dozens of times later and sell it to someone else?! Marisa said "You  This "J businessman" expression looked at me.

    God knows that idiot would buy these things Hey, wait, I think I just bought them"How is it possible? The best things here are not for sale. They are for my own collection." I told Marisa.

    "By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet?" I asked her.

    "I'm really hungry when you say that." After Marisa finished speaking, she took out a mushroom from her front apron pocket and opened her mouth to bite it.

    "How can you eat something like this?" I grabbed the mushroom and threw it aside.

    "What are you doing?! This is my breakfast!" Marisa shouted at me dissatisfied.

    "Other than you, no one would eat toxin-containing mushrooms for breakfast - let alone raw ones Just wait a moment. I'll make something for you to eat."

    After I finished speaking, I pushed Marisa to the chair next to me, and then walked to the simple kitchen behind Xianglin Hall. Since the last time, I ate a blade from the lunch box Sakuya brought me and cut my tongue.  After that, I tried to cook and eat by myself.  It was also a failure at the beginning.  But within a few days I got the hang of it.  Although I can¡¯t say that I can compare with a regular chef, I can still do it.

    Sausage fried rice, chicken egg and winter melon soup, plus a little pickled cabbage.  Just a simple breakfast.  Although it is simple once.  But no matter what, it is better than raw mushrooms, and the portion is very large, enough to feed a Marisa.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± Marisa asked a little unnaturally after I served all the food.

    "I already had breakfast when I was at the Scarlet Devil Mansion." I answered.

    "Xiang Lin, you are so cunning." Marisa said as she took a spoonful of fried rice and put it in her mouth.

    "How does it taste?" After a while, I saw Marisa didn't speak anymore, so I asked.

    "Did you hear that? Marisa?"

    Marisa still didn¡¯t answer.  Just munching on the rice.

    "Don't just eat, at least drink some soup to moisten your throat." I said.

    So Marisa picked up the two-liter basin and drank all the soup and water into her stomach.

    "How does it taste?" I asked a little speechlessly.

    "It tastes terrible!!!" Unexpectedly, Marisa suddenly ran away.  After cursing loudly, he ran out and ran away on a broomstick.

    what's up?  I walked over and tried to eat some.  It's not very delicious.  And if it was really terrible, why did you eat them all - this was for three people?  !  Also, why did you cry at the end?  Enough support?  !

    Since then, Marisa has often picked up some rags and exchanged money with me, and occasionally she can actually find some good things.  I also often entertain Marisa for dinner.  My current favorability level is almost at the level of a good friend.

    "By the way, Xianglin, help me look at this." Marisa dug into her apron pocket for a while, stuffed a few mushrooms back, then stretched out her hand and took out the eight-gram pattern octagonal cube.  .  I still remember that her most powerful attack seemed to be shot from this.

    "What's wrong?" I asked.

    "This Bagua Stove seems to be broken, and it can't be used at all now. So I want you, Xianglin, to take a look at it for me."

    "I'm not a maintenance person, miss." Even so, I still took the thing over, took the tweezers and screwdriver, and took it apart to take a look.

    ¡°By the way, where did this thing come from?¡± I asked.

    "I picked it up," Marisa replied.

    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Marisa won¡¯t be able to create such a powerful Taoist magic weapon for another 180 years.

    "It should be that the energy of the fairy stone inside is exhausted. Just replace it a little." I checked it and said after that.

    "Huh? But I don't have that kind of thing." Marisa said confused.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll just figure it out.¡±

    "Wellit costs a lot of money, right?" Marisa said cautiously: "I saw it last time when you killed that black rabbit. It was such a small onewhat a thing. You dare to ask for it?  Two hundred thousand dollars.¡±

    The time Marisa was talking about was probably five days ago, when the black-bellied rabbit in the bamboo forest accidentally broke her master¡¯s favorite PSP controller.  So they came over and asked me to repair it - because I sold them the psp.  In view of that rabbit's normal character, I killed her severely.  Between the two options of the owner's hellish punishment and the loss of money to eliminate disaster, Rabbit wisely chose the latter.

    "Don't worry, I can do thisThere is no way.  Just think of it as the welfare of your usual care of my business.  No need to collect money.  But don't tell anyone.  "

    "I knew you were the best, Xianglin." Marisa said with a smile.

    "Then wait a moment. I'll make something to eat."

    "Yeah!" Marisa ran over to the armchair I was sitting on and swung her legs.

    "I really can't do anything about you." I said this, and then walked into the kitchen - a rabbit that was tied up very artistically and had a ball of cloth stuffed in its mouth was hung upside down in the air in a very conspicuous way.  .  After seeing me come in, he struggled fiercely, his eyes were pleading, as if saying: I was wrong, please spare me.  Same thing like this.

    I completely ignored her behavior, then picked up a kitchen knife from the chopping board, pointed at her with a smile, and said at the same time: "Then, where should I cut first?"

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    "What, Rabbit, I can't understand you at all when you whine."
