The Great Fairy, forcibly dragged over by the idiot ice fairy, took a bite of the cookie.
Having stopped crying, she was immediately captivated by the crispy, sweet dessert.
"So delicious... Thank you..."
"You're welcome. Remember to persuade your friend after returning, not to cause trouble at the shrine again."
"Mm!"
The Great Fairy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly stood up.
Sanae, seeing this, gave her another cookie while patting the fallen leaves and slight dirt off her skirt hem.
As a result, just as the Great Fairy turned around, a shout came from overhead.
Cirno, having made a surprise return, launched her charge.
She aimed for Sanae's head, executing a Rider Kick.
However, Cirno called it—
"Take this! Ice Fairy King's Storm Rush Kick!!!"
"Stop messing around..."
Sanae easily dodged, then grabbed Cirno's kicking right leg.
"Whoa!!!"
At this moment, Cirno resembled an upside-down teru teru bōzu, her body swinging back and forth in mid-air.
Her falling skirt left her with not a shred of 'girlish modesty'.
However, Cirno had no intention of admitting defeat.
She stared at the Great Fairy, shouting loudly,
"Now! Dai-chan! While I hold her back! Just defeat the shrine maiden! Then this shrine will be ours!"
"Eh? B-but... I don't want to fight!"
"What nonsense are you talking! Hm?! That in your hand... a cookie?! So you were bought off by the enemy! And became my enemy?!"
"No! I'm Cirno-chan's good friend!"
Listening to the two talk, Sanae didn't let the mischief-loving ice fairy struggle any longer.
She placed the fairy in her hand on the ground, then reached out and pinched her nose hard.
"If you cause trouble again, you can forget about having a nose."
"Ow! Ow ow ow! It's gonna fall off! It's gonna fall off!!"
"Your answer?"
"No next time!"
"I'll let you go this time."
"As if...!"
Cirno, liberated, immediately grabbed the Great Fairy's hand, leading her flying into the distance.
Before leaving, she left one more sentence.
"I will be back!"
Is that child a villain from somewhere?
Sanae, hearing Cirno's shout, gave a wry smile, then decided to search inside the shrine one more time.
The result was still nothing.
The two great gods seemed to have disappeared.
Where on earth did they go?
Sanae, puzzled, began the rest of her work.
Before long, she was attracted by a shout coming from the main gate.
After rushing to the entrance, she saw a familiar figure there.
It was the tengu reporter who occasionally came to the shrine for material, Shameimaru Aya.
"Morning... no, it's almost noon, right? Can I take some photos here?"
"You've already taken them before, right? Besides, photography is not allowed inside the shrine, please pay attention to this point."
"Actually, I initially thought this place was closed."
"Closed, why?"
"When I came, I saw two figures leaving one after another. They are the great gods of this shrine. Didn't you know?"
Shameimaru Aya showed a surprised expression.
"Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama? They left the shrine without telling me... Do you know where they went?"
"Don't know. I wouldn't dare randomly follow the great gods; but if I had to guess, maybe they went to the restaurant? After all, you mentioned it to me before, I believe you've also chatted with the great gods about it."
"Mm..."
Sanae thought it made sense.
She then pulled the tengu away from the main shrine hall.
"What are you doing? I haven't taken photos yet! Isn't 'Moriya Shrine' planning renovations in the future? And building a cable car route. I plan to record this current scenery first, then later I can publish 'Remembering the Past! Gensokyo Shrine Memory Collection'!"
"I'm going out, so the shrine is temporarily closed today."
"Okay, can I take photos outside? This road might be modified by the kappas."
"Provided we have the money to hire them..."
Not stopping Shameimaru Aya, nor chatting further, Sanae immediately set off, leaving Moriya Shrine.
After descending Youkai Mountain, she headed straight towards the direction of the 'Human Village', where the restaurant was located.
The journey was very smooth.
She even ran into several villagers she had helped solve problems before, receiving a few fruits from their hands.
After expressing her gratitude, Kochiya Sanae quickly found the restaurant.
She had learned about it from Shameimaru Aya before, so she could be sure she hadn't found the wrong place.
After walking inside, the familiar sound of laughter coming from within made her even more certain.
At least Kanako-sama is inside.
So Sanae pushed open the restaurant's main door.
Inside was a warm space filled with sunlight.
At the same time, there was also a smell of alcohol...
Sanae, not thinking much, saw Suwako and Kanako sitting at the counter position at first glance.
What surprised her was that the restaurant owner sat between the two gods.
Facing Sanae's sudden appearance, the two gods and one person looked at each other, then teased,
"The person getting married has arrived."
"Eh?"
Sanae showed a puzzled expression.
Luke in the middle said with a smile,
"From now on, Sanae-san is my fiancée."
"Eh? Getting married?!"
Sanae, having come to 'Gensokyo', had seen many abnormalities, but this impact was an 'accident' she had never imagined.
