Chapter 7

Nearly an hour later.

"Phew..."

Yakumo Moku looked at the room, which had been completely transformed and was almost unrecognizable compared to before, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Now the mind is clear."

Marisa, looking at her almost unrecognizable house, clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling with stars. Then she turned and looked up at Yakumo Moku and said, "Young man from the Yakumo family, you're really amazing! Can you come and tidy up my room in the future?"

Yakumo Moku was greatly embarrassed.

Girl, is it really okay to make such a familiar request?

"Can't you tidy up yourself..." Yakumo Moku asked, somewhat lacking confidence. Clearly, he knew that if Marisa could tidy up her room, it wouldn't have become this messy.

Moreover, Marisa's carefree attitude during the tidying process also made Yakumo Moku look at her with new eyes.

Since it was a girl's room, it was inevitable to encounter some awkward situations.

For example, accidentally seeing the undergarments that Marisa had thrown around carelessly...

But Marisa didn't care at all about Yakumo Moku seeing or even touching her undergarments.

"Oh, I'm really not good at this! Hey, how about I let you have a go? What do you think?"

"Spit—"

Yakumo Moku almost choked.

Have a go?

He was very clear that this "have a go" had a completely different meaning from the previous one.

"Are you kidding? Do you really understand what this 'have a go' means?"

Yakumo Moku looked at Marisa with a strange expression, truly not expecting her to say such a thing.

Marisa tilted her head and looked at Yakumo Moku, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Of course I do, it's the game that Reimu talks about, which can create children! Don't you like it? Isn't it said that boys all like to 'have a go' with girls?" Marisa blinked, then seemed to think of something and blurted out, "Or is it that you, young man from the Yakumo family, are not actually a man?"

Red and White, what kind of indecent things have you taught Marisa...

"Being suspected of my gender, I'm really sorry..." Yakumo Moku said with a bad temper, "This time I just couldn't bear to see it, but don't expect me to come and tidy up your room every day. As a girl, even if you're not good at tidying up, having a room this messy is really too much, isn't it?"

"I spend all my energy on practicing magic!"

Marisa looked completely justified.

You actually spend all your energy on collecting (stealing) things, don't you?

Although he thought this in his heart, Yakumo Moku also knew that Marisa was indeed a very hardworking person. As a human, she had practiced magic to become a magician and had earned a place in Gensokyo, a place full of monsters. No matter how talented she was, without hard work, it would have been impossible.

This was also the reason why Yakumo Moku had a good impression of Marisa.

He always admired very hardworking people.

"You can also contract a small fairy to tidy up your room for you."

The magic to contract a small fairy as a servant was very simple, and Yakumo Moku believed Marisa definitely knew about it. Besides, fairies were not very powerful, and it was relatively easy to find one in the Magic Forest.

Marisa blinked, then after a moment of hesitation, exclaimed, "Right! How could I not think of that, DA☆ZE!"

Hearing Marisa's signature catchphrase again, Yakumo Moku couldn't help but smile lightly.

"Then, I'll take my leave..."

Yakumo Moku waved and prepared to leave.

"Hey hey! Wait a moment!"

Marisa quickly darted over and grabbed the sleeve of Yakumo Moku's clothes.

"We haven't had a go yet! How can you leave?"

Huh?

Yakumo Moku looked down at Marisa, his face full of disbelief.

"What does that 'have a go' mean..."

"DA☆ZE! Of course, it means to have a fight!"

Black and White let go of Yakumo Moku's sleeve and jumped to an open space outside the house, pulling out a small, cute magic wand from somewhere and pointing it at Yakumo Moku, her face filled with excitement.

"Come on, let's have a go!"

It seemed that he wouldn't be able to leave without accompanying this Black and White in a fight today.

Yakumo Moku rubbed his forehead and moved his foot slightly. In the next moment, he appeared under a huge ancient tree not far away.

"Come on! I'll play with you."

Although he was reluctant to fight, he had become a monster, and his personality had been somewhat influenced by his bloodline.

Monsters, after all, had a bit of a combative nature.

Instinctively, Yakumo Moku easily mobilized the already surging monster power within him. Centered on his body, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew the surrounding leaves into the air, and the long hair that had been wrapped around his neck like a scarf spread out, dancing behind him as if it had a life of its own.

His originally black eyes became even deeper, and his pupils shimmered with starlight.

Marisa, looking at Yakumo Moku, whose aura was completely different from before, frowned slightly and said, "Wow! You have quite a presence!"

"But it's not just about presence."

"Boom!"

A jet of black light suddenly shot up from where Marisa was standing, instantly enveloping her entire body.

"Whoa!!"

Caught off guard, Marisa was sent flying into the sky by the black beam. If it weren't for the black and white witch's outfit she wore, which she had strengthened with magic for defense, that hit would have done more than just send her flying.

In mid-air, Marisa twisted her body and, with a casual wave of her hand, a broom flew over and landed under her feet.

Her small feet stepped on the broom, and Marisa looked at Yakumo Moku with an excited expression. She raised her hands, and a miniature Eight Trigram Furnace appeared in her hand.

This magic furnace, fueled by magic power, could release a small flame for cooking or a large, abnormal fire capable of burning down a mountain. Additionally, the furnace could blow wind from one corner, useful for cooling in the summer. It was also endowed with various strange abilities, such as exorcism, bringing good luck, and air purification.

Of course, this furnace was also Marisa's main attack method.

"Master Spark (Ultimate Spark)!!!"

Marisa infused magic power into the Eight Trigram Furnace, which immediately emitted a dazzling light. In the next moment, a barrage of pentagram-shaped magic bullets rained down on Yakumo Moku, as if they were free.

The speed at which the magic bullets were released was almost as fast as a machine gun.

"Damn!"

Yakumo Moku, seeing the barrage of bullets that almost covered a hundred-meter radius around him, broke out in a cold sweat.

He had held back his attack to avoid hurting Marisa, but he hadn't expected this violent girl to start with such a powerful move.

In just a moment of hesitation, Yakumo Moku's body was hit by the barrage of bullets.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The deafening explosions filled the Magic Forest, and large areas of trees were destroyed by Marisa's barrage, with smoke and dust obscuring the girl's vision.

"Oops! I went a bit too far, DA☆ZE!"

Although Marisa said this, her expression became even more excited.

This man in front of her was the younger brother of the Monster Sage!

If she could defeat the younger brother of the Monster Sage, wouldn't that be a very, very impressive thing to say?

Of course, Marisa had conveniently forgotten the saying "If you hit the little one, the big one will come out."
