Enemies in Suika's Sights / Suika Calls It "Weird"

Seeing Suika's bewildered expression, Keine Kamishirasawa sighed. Although she had never truly seen the Ghost King drunk, she did not wish to see her in a drunken state.

After all, if she got really drunk and started acting crazy, he wouldn't be able to stop her.

"No need, my food hasn't been served yet!"

Suika pointed to Mystia, who was bringing over the eel rice.

"Oh! Teacher!"

Upon seeing Keine Kamishirasawa, Mystia shuddered and then cautiously approached.

Watching Suika diligently eating beside her, Keine Kamishirasawa couldn't help but feel her mouth water.

"Give me an eel rice bowl too!"

"Okay!" Mystia dashed off to the back.

"By the way, have you found the person that the Hakurei Shrine Maiden was looking for?" While waiting for the food Keine Kamishirasawa turned her gaze to Suika again.

"No..." Although she didn't know who Reimu Hakurei was looking for, saying she had found her would lead to more questions, while saying she didn't know would arouse suspicion. So, not finding her was undoubtedly the best answer.

"The Hakurei Shrine Maiden is strange. If she couldn't find it, she could have asked everyone to help look for it, but she insisted on keeping it a secret, making everyone anxious..."

Keine Kamishirasawa made a sarcastic remark while glancing at Mystia not far away.

"It's said that this whole thing started here a month ago. Mystia may not be very bright and often forgetful, but she's kind-hearted. You've all been so secretive; it's really worrying!"

Okay, now Suika knows who Keine Kamishirasawa is looking for, but she can't very well say that the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is looking for her.

During their conversation, Mystia brought over her eel rice. Keine Kamishirasawa focused her attention on the rice, which allowed Suika to escape her questioning.

Soon, Suika finished eating, and the wine jar next to her was more than half empty.

"You've drunk quite a bit, don't you really need me to take you home?" Keine Kamishirasawa asked worriedly, having witnessed Suika drinking almost the entire large vat of sake.

"No need, it's just a few steps, I can walk back with my eyes closed..." After saying that, she turned and walked out the door.

Mystia seemed completely used to Suika's behavior of eating and leaving without paying.

Unexpectedly, a gold coin was suddenly thrown in from outside and landed in front of her.

"The food was excellent today, and the wine was very good too. Thank you for your hospitality..."

When Keine Kamishirasawa peeked out, wondering why this person had changed so much, even paying for meals, she didn't see Suika's figure.

When she turned around, she saw Mystia scratching her head and looking at the gold coin.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm... this gold coin... it seems to be related to something... but I can't remember!" Mystia tried to recall it repeatedly without success, and then gave up trying to figure it out.

Keine Kamishirasawa picked up the gold coin, held it in front of her, and sniffed it.

"Strange, there are no marks, and there's this smell of the outside world... Where did this drunkard get this from?"

Although the gold coin had no historical traces and no obvious standard, Keine Kamishirasawa could tell at a glance that it did not belong to Gensokyo.

"The outside world, the outside world! That's right, Suika from the outside world!" Mystia, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something after hearing her words...

"What, Suika from the outside world?"

Keine Kamishirasawa's curiosity as an academic was piqued.

"I don't know, but it seems like this should be given to the priestess!" Mystia shook her head.

Keine Kamishirasawa fiddled with the gold coins for a moment before standing up.

"I'll take it to the shrine for you!" After saying that, he took out a few copper coins, paid for the meal, stood up, and walked out.

After she arrived at the Hakurei Shrine and explained her purpose, the shrine maiden, who had been yawning, jumped for joy. She picked up the gold coin, examined it several times, and then led her to Ibuki Suika, who was picking her toes and drinking in the backyard.

"That guy's here again!" Reimu Hakurei said with a pained expression.

"Huh?" Ibuki Suika sat up groggily, and instinctively grabbed something as Reimu threw it at her.

"Smell, smells like Sparrow Wine ..." Ibuki Suika said after sniffing the gold coin.

"No, it's that..." Reimu ran to Suika and shook her for a while, after which Suika finally came to her senses.

At this moment Keine Kamishirasawa looked at Suika suspiciously, then revealed a knowing expression. She looked at Reimu and asked...

"That guy I just met at the barbecue stand wasn't Suika herself!"

Reimu sighed. For someone with such high intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult to deduce the result from a few clues.

"That's right, this is the same person we were looking for a while ago, but she only appeared once, and we searched many places but couldn't find any trace of her."

Judging from the reason you just came, her second appearance was at the barbecue stall.

So it's very likely that she appeared there the third and fourth time as well...

Chapter 320 The Enemy Targeted by Suika

Soon, an eighteen-year-old girl also learned of this news.

"Yawn... So that means she probably set her coordinates to the barbecue stand, which is why she appeared there and then mysteriously disappeared after leaving."

"That makes things easier. I'll set up a trigger mechanism at the barbecue stand. Spatial movement will definitely leave a ripple, so as long as she uses spatial teleportation to come to Gensokyo, she'll definitely trigger the mechanism. Then we can catch her next time she comes."

Yukari Yakumo quickly provided a solution.

It's better to be able to wait for ghosts to appear in the shop than to search for a needle in a haystack.

Meanwhile, Suika returned to her room and fell asleep contentedly.

She woke up at noon the next day.

Suika hesitated as she picked up her lunch. After all, she could detect poison in the wine, but what if the other party was so ruthless as to poison the food as well?

Not knowing if it was safe to eat, she simply didn't eat it and packed all the food into her pocket.

After saying goodbye to the guards, he disappeared into the snowstorm under the pretext of going up the mountain to scout out the scenery.

At this point, the Grand Elder was at a loss for what to do.

In his view, Suika had eaten lunch, and there was indeed poison in the lunch that he had put there.

How come she's alright?

Is it possible for someone to have a constitution that is immune to all poisons?

The Grand Elder was bewildered.

In any case, it seems this poison won't kill Suika. So, what should we do next?

After hearing that Suika had left Manjushri Monastery and gone outside, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the statue inside the house.

"My Lord God, if you truly have a spirit in heaven, then let that messenger perish in the snowstorm!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

Under his arrangement, dozens of his confidants left the Manjushri Monastery.

Their goal was to catch up with Suika and then kill her.

Although these people were not skilled fighters, they had grown up in the snow and wind, and in such weather, dozens of them working together could even put up a fight against Rift Beast.

This was also the largest pool of candidates the Grand Elder had selected to ensure the messenger could be killed in the wild.

As for whether her absence would cause other trouble, the Grand Elder already had a plan.

After all, it's normal for accidents to happen when you go out in such cold weather. Although Manjushri Monastery bears some responsibility for negligence, she has no choice but to leave.

Then he could use this opportunity to postpone the exam, and then find another chance to burn the exam papers. As long as there were no exam papers, and the messenger sent by him died in Kjerag, no matter how much money Enciodes spent, the headmaster of that school would never admit a student from Kjerag.

In this way, he achieved his goal.

After leaving Manjushri Monastery, Suika never expected that the old bastard would still send people to hunt her down.

She was happily taking pictures of various snow scenes with her camera.

Especially when the sun shines on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the diffused light makes the entire peak appear a brilliant gold.

It has a beautiful, golden-light-illuminating quality.

Just as she was looking at the photos in her hand with satisfaction, pondering whether to send them to Rhodes Island or Lungmen, or take another one and send them to each side, she heard the footsteps of dozens of people behind her.

She turned her head and saw several people whose faces were completely covered, with only their eyes showing.

This kind of equipment isn't unusual. To be precise, when walking outdoors in snowy weather, one is usually wearing a set of seemingly ordinary mountaineering clothes. Normal people would dress like the other person to keep warm.

However, the way these people were approaching him in a semi-circle, armed with various weapons, was not so friendly.

Especially when I'm standing on the edge of a cliff in order to get a good shot.

"You want to kill me?"

Suika grinned.

None of the people who gathered around spoke; instead, they silently quickened their pace.

"Very well, it seems you have made your choice... So before you all die, I can tell you an Istina free of charge: when a person is killed, they die."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone saw the woman in front of them rapidly inflate like a balloon, transforming in just a few seconds from a 1.4-meter-tall woman into a terrifying giant over ten meters tall.

Before they could react, Suika reached out and swept her hand horizontally, sending most of them flying. Then, she picked up one as if it were a chick and held it in front of her.

"You should be thankful, I don't eat people anymore..."

After saying that, he threw it at the fastest person running not far away. The two collided and instantly created a cloud of blood mist, then stopped moving.

Seeing this, the remaining people quickly hid behind a large rock nearby.

However, these stones did not provide them with any protection.

A mournful gust of wind came from the sky.

The last thing the person behind the rock saw was a giant hand descending from the sky.

With a dull thud, the stone, along with the people behind it, was shattered into pieces by Suika's slap.

"Tch, you think this thing is some kind of Shi Gandang (a legendary guardian deity)?"

After dealing with the few who had escaped, she turned her attention to the unconscious people she had swept to the ground.

They were grabbed and thrown off the cliff one by one like Angry Birds, watching as they drew perfect parabolas in the air.

"Snowy mountains, severely injured, cliffs... If you really have Zhang Wuji's luck—surviving all this and even mastering divine skills to seek revenge—I might as well give you a chance..."

After dealing with these people, Suika looked in the direction of Manjushri Monastery.

"Old man, getting impatient, aren't you...?"

"If the poison doesn't kill me, I'll send someone to kill me... Don't worry, I won't let you have the chance to watch me leave Kjerag."

Suika has never been the type to swallow her anger; she's just often more considerate of others.

After all, he wasn't Ultraman, whose only responsibility was to kill the monsters; he didn't need to care about the houses destroyed or the civilians killed along the way.

Before taking any action, she usually considers whether her actions will have any negative impact on her friends.

Currently, the people in Kjerag who can be considered her friends are Jian, Enya, Yel... The Browntail family and the Paleroche family are half friends, the Silverash family, and SilverAsh don't seem to be friends yet, but she thinks Weiss is quite nice, at least he handled things very well during the days he hosted her.

Therefore, she will temporarily suppress her urge to act and postpone that old bastard's death.

After all, his mysterious death before the exam would definitely affect the exam.

As for how much time he has left to breathe after the exam... that depends on his own mood.

After returning to normal, Suika brushed the snow off herself, picked up her camera, and continued her work as if nothing had happened.

On the Holy Mountain, the maid who was sweeping suddenly sighed...

Chapter 321 Suika said (yue) is "strange".

When Suika returned to Manjushri Monastery that evening, it was almost dark.

The guard at the door breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.

"Oh dear, Miss Messenger is finally back! If you hadn't returned, the elders would have been considering sending someone to look for you."

"Sorry, sorry... the scenery in Kjerag was so beautiful, I was lost in thought for a moment..."

Suika glanced at the group and found no malice in them. This made Suika sigh inwardly, thinking how cunning the Grand Elder was, even guarding against his own people.

If it were someone who didn't know the situation, there might have been bloodshed at Manjushri Monastery today.

And those people died in vain.
