Back to the Night Sparrow Barbecue Stall / The Cunning Yakumo Yukari

This is not a bad thing; lofty ideals are what attract others to join in.

But the path they took was one full of thorns, difficulties, and dangers.

Looking only at the sky can lead to a fatal fall.

For example, Talulah fell into chaos and was controlled by the Black Snake as a result.

Amiya was lucky; she had companions, mentors, and emotional support, which helped her persevere.

However, that was the Amiya from the storyline I knew, not the Amiya in front of me who hadn't felt the pain of death because the Battle of Chernobog had gone too smoothly.

After some thought, Suika realized that there were ways within Gensokyo to make Amiya "experience" that kind of sadness, such as the pill that Talulah had taken before.

However... summoning doesn't always guarantee the desired effect.

But there's another way. Although it might be a tiny bit dangerous for her, if she succeeds, she can get what she wants.

"Suika, why are you staring at me like that?" Amiya woke Suika up from her thoughts.

"Haha, Amiya, you're so cute, I couldn't help but look at you a little longer."

Of course, Rosmontis is also lovely~~~"

As Suika said this with a smile, a certain large Feline beside her agreed.

In the afternoon, after taking them back to their lodgings, Suika leisurely returned home.

Hoshiguma came back from outside as soon as I sat down after arriving home.

"There's good news and bad news"

The good news is that Chen found out where Director Nian is, but she's not in Lungmen, but in a small town a hundred Lungmen away.

The bad news is that Lao Chen doesn't have any vacation time, so you'll have to find someone yourself...

Chapter 432 Returning to the Night Sparrow BBQ Stall

Suika was speechless after hearing this.

"Oh, Old Chen doesn't have a vacation? What's going on?"

Hoshiguma took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and tossed one to Suika.

"There are no more long holidays now."

From last year to this year, don't you even consider how long she's been absent from work?

You have to understand that the Major Crimes Unit is a very small unit, and the cases that piled up during her absences were all handled by her colleagues.

For the next period of time, she only had one day off every two weeks.

Suika said that one day off is enough; it's only 100 kilometers, so one day is enough to make a round trip.

Hoshiguma reached out and pressed down on Suika's head, rubbing it vigorously.

"You rascal, aren't you going to give Old Chen even a day to rest?!"

"Isn't driving to a small town Lungmen for a day a form of rest?" Suika argued.

"That's sophistry!" Hoshiguma had acted on his own initiative in this matter.

I just don't want Chen Hui-chieh to be under so much pressure.

Besides, seeing Suika causing trouble in the house every day (Swire told the two of them what happened during the day after she went back), it would be better to let her take action on her own.

At least when I have something to do, I won't have such a headache.

The next morning, after Hoshiguma left, Suika didn't go out. Instead, she took out the admission ticket for the Night Sparrow BBQ Stall and disappeared the next second.

After pushing open the curtain and stepping into the barbecue stall, Mystia was just getting ready when, to her surprise, the first person to arrive was Suika.

Just as she was about to pull the sake barrel out from behind, Suika reached out and stopped her.

"Don't rush, give me something to eat to fill my stomach."

More people will be coming soon, so order more; I'll pay.

After saying that, he took out a gold coin and threw it in front of Mystia, then sat down and slowly poured himself a few wine glasses.

"Oh!" Little Skullshatterer, though puzzled, was impressed. He took the gold coin and, seeing that it was real, happily began preparing food.

Less than a minute later, the curtain was pushed open again, and a blonde seventeen-year-old girl walked in with a mysterious and dangerous smile, then sat down next to Suika.

"Don't get so close, I won't run away."

Also, my seats on either side are for people who drink; those who don't drink should sit further away.

As people approached Suika pointed rudely to the spot next to her.

The visitor was completely taken aback by Suika's unexpected turn of events.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"We're not enemies, why should I be afraid of you?"

By the way, I also have wine, sake, or spirits, as well as beer and cocktails. Would you like to try some?

Suika pointed to the different glasses of wine on the table.

After staring at Suika for several seconds, Yukari Yakumo picked up a glass of sake and took a sip.

A few minutes later, the curtain was lifted again.

"Wow~" A familiar voice came, and then Suika felt a weight on her shoulder, and then she saw an exact replica of the person sitting next to her.

Compared to Yukari Yakumo, the newcomer was much more unrestrained. His eyes lit up when he saw the drinks on the table, and he picked up a glass and downed it in one gulp.

Then, with his eyes half-closed and a look of contentment on his face, he said, "Good wine, good wine indeed!"

Suika raised the Ibuki Gourd, "Again?"

"Again!"

Looking at the full glass of wine, she downed it in one gulp, then handed the glass to Suika, staring wide-eyed at the Ibuki Gourd in Suika's hand.

Several people came in one after another, but none of them interrupted the two women after seeing them pouring and drinking their drinks.

Instead, they sat down one by one with great interest.

Half an hour later, Ibuki Suika hiccuped, then put her arm around Suika's neck and looked at Reimu Hakurei not far away, saying with a dazed expression.

"Hiccup, I think this sister is a good person."

Upon hearing her words, Yukari Yakumo, who was not far away, almost rolled her eyes.

Good grief, you're not angry at all when faced with a fake? You think anyone who gives you alcohol is a good person?

They truly have a flexible moral bottom line.

"It seems that Suika deliberately waited for us here."

Yukari Yakumo covered her face with a fan, leaving only her eyes visible, making it impossible to discern her expression.

Suika nodded

"That's right. I hadn't figured out how to face everyone after we met. But now I think it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. I don't have any conflict of interest with you all; on the contrary, there's a possibility of cooperation. So let's be frank."

Upon hearing Suika's words, everyone present sat up straight.

"So, how do you plan to cooperate with us, and what benefits will we gain?"

Reimu Hakurei stared into Suika's eyes.

Just as Suika was about to answer, Ibuki Suika suddenly jumped out again and hugged Suika's waist.

"Hey sis, I think your Ibuki Gourd is pretty good-looking, how about we get a different one?"

Suika said, "If you Ibuki Gourd, I'll cry."

However, upon meeting Ibuki Suika, she felt as if she had mastered a spell.

She picked up her own Ibuki Gourd and touched it with the other person's.

Then return it to the other party.

"What do you think now?"

After hearing this, Ibuki Suika took the Ibuki Gourd and her eyes lit up.

After picking it up, a memory or method of use entered her mind.

She took a cup, carefully picked up the Ibuki Gourd, poured herself a cup of bright red wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured out clear wine again.

"My dear sister... from today onwards, you are me, and I am you. You guys are not allowed to bully her!"

It turns out that right after they bumped into each other, the Ibuki Gourd in Ibuki Suika's hand in Gensokyo retained its own abilities while also gaining the same functions as the Ibuki Gourd in Suika's hand.

To be precise, it's like obtaining a copy of the Ibuki Gourd in Suika's possession. All the drinks Suika has had in Terra can be poured out here, and just like the Ibuki Suika Ibuki Gourd in Suika's possession, she can pour out as much as she wants, and it will never run dry.

"Go and try the drinks here first. I remember there are at least a hundred kinds."

Suika patted her on the shoulder, and the other girl happily hugged Ibuki Gourd and went to a corner to enjoy some wine.

After dealing with Ibuki Suika, Suika finally looked at Reimu Hakurei.

"I presume you already have some understanding of what's happening over there."

That world is vast, but it has no connection to Gensokyo.

My only anchor point right now is myself.

I can help see if there's a way to make the monsters stay there permanently.

You can send someone to check if that land is suitable for monsters to live on.

The people in that world also looked very similar to monsters, like this...

Suika opened her backpack, took out her photography collection from Terra, and handed it to her.

"What kind of benefit is this?" Reimu Hakurei took the photo album and looked at it. The people in the photos all had various animal ears and tails, and they did indeed look very similar to youkai.

Chapter 433 The Cunning and Scheming Yukari Yakumo

Although I had heard from three people who had been to Terra that the Terra and monsters looked alike.

But after seeing the photos, they realized that it was nothing like a resemblance at all.

You couldn't even spot the monsters if you threw them into this crowd.

If a stable connection could be established with that side, it would indeed be beneficial to Gensokyo.

For example, you could throw some unruly individuals there to fend for themselves.

Furthermore, Gensokyo's resources are too scarce, so they can be replenished from the other side.

But what does this have to do with her, the High Priestess Hakurei?

Faced with Reimu Hakurei's questioning, Suika calmly took out a stack of gold coins from her handbag and pushed them in front of her.

"A small gift, nothing more..."

"Ahem, I'm fine now..."

Reimu Hakurei looked at Yukari Yakumo and said very decisively.

Yukari Yakumo shook her head helplessly. Of the two people who came to the Hakurei Shrine to demand an explanation, one was bribed with alcohol, and the other was even simpler—he was paid and left.

Ultimately, all the burdens fell on the shoulders of this seventeen-year-old girl who had lived for countless years.

She looked at Suika, and Suika looked back at her; the atmosphere suddenly became cold and awkward.

"Um, why don't you tell me what you want, and I'll see if I have anything here? At least this place is an anchor point, and I can bring you some next time I come."

Yukari Yakumo sighed.

How long have you been there?

"Yes, less than three years, but in those three years I've traveled to quite a few countries and places."

"Is there some powerful life form over there?"

"Have"

How strong?
