I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Zi folded her arms and looked at her.

"She said that if she died I would be the Hakurei Miko."

Yimi answered her.

"Eh……"

Yakumo Yukari opened her folding fan and covered her mouth in confusion, "That won't do. The selection of the Hakurei shrine maiden must be approved by us."

It was also the first time she encountered a non-human creature who took the initiative to want to serve as a Hakurei shrine maiden.

"Oh, Auntie, then you agree."

The kitten raised its paw and rubbed the place where Yakumo Yukari had just been bitten by it, and its voice became much sweeter.

"Ha ha……"

Zi's ​​fists hardened, but his brows relaxed a lot.

Although she possesses powerful divine powers, she still seems to be just a child. In her impression, the other gods almost never give her a good look when they see her.

"Hakurei shrine maidens are usually humans. The sources of your powers are different."

"That."

Yimi exudes magic power and uses miracles to transform several times.

This world is obviously very inclusive of different forces, so there is not only one type of force that wants to adapt to the cost of adaptation.

Magic power, demon power, divine power...

Some are incredible.

Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes: "Little sister, do you know what a Hakurei shrine maiden is?"

She didn't ask directly why she wanted to be one.

Yimi: "The Red Killer."

Okay, go play.

"Then where are you from?"

"another world."

"Which world is this?"

Yakumo Yukari was not too surprised, because there were even people from the moon in Gensokyo.

“It’s a world where the houses are very tall.”

It sounds like the outside world.

Yakumo Yukari reached out and pinched Yimi's ears, and looked into her pure eyes.

It is indeed simple enough, but simplicity does not mean there is no danger. As a mysterious god, this is dangerous enough and must be monitored.

"Little friend, the Hakurei shrine maiden's responsibility is to be a guardian. Her role is to protect the peace of Gensokyo. You can't just become one if you want to, you know?"

Yakumo Yukari yawned secretly, "Besides, we don't plan to let Reimu retire for the time being."

The kitten crossed his arms impatiently and asked, "How can I become one?"

"Well... what do you think, Lan?"

Zi looked at Yakumo Lan.

"Yes, according to the manual left by the first generation, the Hakurei shrine maiden is not only powerful, but also has to maintain a sense of crisis to protect Gensokyo. She must be positive, have upright values, be neutral and fair, and be willing to help both humans and demons..."

"Okay Lan, stop talking."

Zi stopped her.

Besides, Koneko should ask how someone like Reimu became a Hakurei shrine maiden.

There are many reasons why she cannot be a Hakurei shrine maiden. Not being a human is just one of them. Another reason is that her background may not be clean.

Zi had no idea what her background was, and even if she asked directly, she might not get the answer.

"I can't agree to this, but..."

Yakumo Yukari opened a gap in the air, a crack with bows tied at both ends, and there were many eyes in it.

She only pulled Yimi in, and on the other side was Reimu, who looked unhappy.

"Oh, I was just looking for you."

Reimu rolled up her sleeves and glared at Yimi.

"Well, Reimu, this kid said he wants to be a Hakurei shrine maiden."

Yakumo Yukari rubbed Yimi's head.

"Don't tell me you agreed?"

"how is this possible?"

Yakumo Yukari turned to look at Yimi and saw that she was curiously pulling the bow in the gap.

"But this child has nowhere to go, right? And she admires you so much, so why not just leave her with you for now? I'll be at ease with Xiao Lingmeng's words."

Reimu Hakurei, as the guardian, is the strongest one in Gensokyo as the name suggests. If there is any problem, just let her suppress it directly.

"Do I look like I could use an extra living thing?"

Reimu subconsciously wanted to grab the Imperial Coin, but then she remembered that the Imperial Coin had been lost somehow.

"That's a happy decision then. Let's go back and take a nap."

Purple diamond returns to the gap.

She yawned and looked at her Shikigami: "Lan, please keep a close eye on this kid. He hasn't even caused any changes since coming to Gensokyo. I can't trust him at all... Oh, if Youxiang comes to our house, tell her I'm going out and will be back in the evening."

"What about you, Master Zi?"

"Since Youxiang has gone to our house, I will go to Youxiang's house and sleep until night before going home."

-

Yakumo Yukari's words "We can trust Reimu's words" almost made it clear that she wanted Reimu to supervise this unknown creature.

But Reimu, who was still angry and hadn't slept well, obviously didn't react.

She looked at Yimi unhappily: "What do you mean, does she really want me to retire to train you?"

Chapter 9: Become the strongest first.

"give me back."

Reimu held out her hand.

"what?"

The cat pretended not to understand.

"You stole it, didn't you? Imperial Coin."

There were rumors going around that this kitten was running around with her royal coins.

The kitten was relieved: "I didn't steal the imperial coins."

The cat only took away a stick and did not see anything called a coin.

“That’s something I grew up with.”

Reimu withdrew her hand and counted on her fingers: "From now on, you owe me 15."

She definitely can't pay back the 500 million yuan debt for tea, but she should be able to pay it back by working, right?

That bastard Zi asked her to support another person but didn't pay her. She didn't sleep well for two days because of this kid.

Should I borrow a screen from someone and put it in the middle at night to prevent this little thing from sneaking over?

Reimu brought out the low table she usually used for drinking tea.

Then Yimi sat down on it.

"Go down."

Reimu lifted her collar and put it aside, spread out the tatami, knelt on it, took out the tea that Huiyin had given her before, and brewed a pot of it with boiled water.

Yimi looked down at the cushions beneath her, puzzled: "Why don't you buy a tall table?"

The cat thought it was a larger stool.

“Because it takes up space and is very expensive.”

The shrine, which was not very big to begin with, now seemed even more crowded. So many people came during the day, and the gifts they gave filled up the place. The things that could not be stored in the warehouse had to be thrown into the room.

He usually lived in such poverty, but as soon as he heard that he was about to die, everyone sent him good things.

"Well."

Yimi looked down and couldn't find her mat.

She lowered her head and moved past Reimu, sitting directly on her lap.

"Get out of the way. It's so hot."

Reimu nudged her, "The spare mat is in the cupboard, go get it yourself."

Yimi ran over and took out a mat, trying to imitate Reimu and sit opposite her, but she felt very uncomfortable.

She stretched her legs under the table. Because her legs were short, she didn't step on Reimu, but sitting like this made her even more uncomfortable.

"This fine tea looks just like the one I usually drink."

Lingmeng murmured, made two cups, and pushed one to Yimi to prevent her from making a fuss.

Yimi lowered her head and looked at the white mist on the tea, then put her face on it to enjoy the warmth.

"Hakurei Miko, what do you usually do?"

Cats need to understand.

"Usually? I drink tea and daydream. If there's nothing to eat at home, I'll go out for a walk. Occasionally, I'll go to Xianglin Hall to see if there are any new picture books."

Reimu took out a bag of snacks, tore it open and stuffed a handful into her mouth.

"Oh, the most important responsibility is to protect Gensokyo and stop the changes."

There's something wrong with this snack.

Reimu looked down at the packaging, wondering who had sent the cat food.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Under the kitten's gaze, Reimu grabbed another handful and stuffed it into her mouth.

The kitten didn't care about her not feeding him, and started asking questions: "What is Gensokyo? What is the mutation?"

"What? You don't even know what Gensokyo is, and you want to be a Hakurei shrine maiden? You're not the type who wants to become one just because you heard a title and thought it sounded impressive, right?"

Reimu's eyes widened as she explained, "Gensokyo is the area we live in, isolated from the outside world. I've heard it's only the size of a sesame seed compared to the outside world. Incidents happen when newcomers like you occasionally try to cause trouble. It's the Hakurei Miko's job to defeat these guys and deal with the incidents."

Her main source of income is dealing with incidents... Of course, it is indeed her responsibility to protect Gensokyo.

Reimu tapped Yimi's forehead and warned her: "Don't even think about causing any trouble, or I won't care if you're a child or not, I'll go and kill you right away."

Koneko nodded: "Hakurei Miko is the one who handles the abnormalities."

"What are you trying to misunderstand? If you want to be a Hakurei shrine maiden, the first requirement is to be the strongest in Gensokyo, right?"

Reimu should first set a distant goal for her.

"Let me be clear, I have nothing to teach you."

Different from the previous Hakurei shrine maidens, she usually just stays at the shrine and does not practice at all. Her powerful strength is almost entirely due to her excellent talent.

Yimi didn't respond to her and quietly reached out for Reimu's tea.

Cat Law: The big cat’s water must taste better than your own.

Reimu pushed her hand away expressionlessly. "If you have nothing to do, go to Xianglintang and find some picture books. If you find any good, bring them back so I can take a look."
