Because of this little incident, Yin Zhu raised her guard to the highest level.
After waiting inside for a while to make sure everything was alright outside, Yin Zhu dragged her long flower shears out the door and began her work.
There was still half an hour left before lunch.
When Yin Zhu came out of the tool shed this time, she had changed.
She wore a coarse cloth garment stained with blood, likely from splattered "sap" by other ghost servants during their work. She wore gloves on both hands, holding pruning shears in her right hand and a white, round lantern in her left. With the lantern's dim light, she could barely see the surrounding plants as she trimmed their branches.
The soil in Tenki-no-Gyoen is reddish-brown; it's unclear whether this is due to the soil composition or because it was irrigated with blood.
Yin Zhu internally hypnotized herself, "These are all flowers, these are all flowers, these are all flowers." She placed the lantern aside and began cutting the flowers in front of the people.
I don't know if it's because of the rules, but none of the flowers made a sound, even though they looked like they were in pain.
Flowers probably can't speak.
It has a mouth, but it only knows how to be a flower to be slaughtered and pruned into the shape that others want.
These human-faced flowers seem to be afraid of the flower shears. They no longer actively try to grab them, but instead try to avoid them out of fear. However, they have no legs, so no matter what they do, they cannot avoid the sharp metal shears. In the end, they can only be trimmed into the most ordinary shape of "one person and two hands". At first glance, it really gives the illusion of a living person being buried in the ground.
After circling the outer perimeter for a long time, Yin Zhu finally finished trimming everyone's face flowers.
As Yin Zhu put her flower shears and work clothes back in the workroom, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Little sister~ Little sister~ Do you want to leave the ghost realm?"
This is straight hook fishing.
However, the rules in the work area state—[No answering any questions from the garden center voice.]
Since it's in the ghost realm, it's probably some kind of demon or monster.
It's already past 6 PM, and Yin Zhu doesn't have time to waste with this guy. Ghost Servant Restaurant is only open for an hour, and since it's her first time here, she might not be able to finish her meal if she goes too late.
Ignoring the voice of Tengui Ouyuan, Yin Zhu hurriedly headed to the Ghost Servant Restaurant according to the signs.
When she arrived, Yin Zhu only had 40 minutes left to eat. After confirming that there were no extra rules, she quickly went to the window to get her food and then found a place to start eating.
At this moment, many ghost servants who came to eat were sitting in the restaurant. They were all beautiful girls, which made Yin Zhu marvel: Yin Zhu could understand why Shuten-dōji liked beautiful girls before she changed her gender, but she had been reincarnated once and had become a beautiful girl herself, so why did she still like beautiful girls?
Wait a minute, there really aren't many handsome male ghosts in Japan...
Kappa, Nurarihyon, Noderabo... But forget it, capturing those demons to be the servants of the beautiful Shuten-dōji feels like a reward for them.
Because of the time constraints, Yin Zhu quickly finished her meal.
However, after finishing her meal, Yin Zhu didn't rush to leave the restaurant. In fact, Yin Zhu was very concerned about the restaurant's restrooms, as mentioned in the rules of the Ooeyama Royal Palace:
5. The Oni Servant Restaurant at Mount Oe Palace is open at 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily, but only for one hour. If you haven't left by then, you can hide in the restroom until the next opening time. During this time, do not open the restroom door if you hear any noise outside.
Since the rules are written this way, we should always be careful.
Yin Zhu glanced at the clock hanging in the cafeteria. There were still ten minutes left, more than enough time to go to the toilet. She quickly found the location of the cafeteria toilet.
There is only one toilet here, and the sign on the door says "One person only".
However, from the moment Yin Zhu arrived at the toilet door, she vaguely sensed several pairs of eyes staring at her. Yin Zhu turned around abruptly, bumping right into several ghost servants who hadn't yet had time to look away.
Some of them lowered their heads awkwardly, while others glared fiercely at Yin Zhu.
What's wrong? Afraid I'll take over the toilet?
Yin Zhu touched her chin. Instead of going to the restroom, she washed her hands, returned to her seat to tidy up her plate, and then left the restaurant, waiting at the door for the monsters inside to finish eating.
It was almost time for the cafeteria to close. Some monsters quickly shoveled their food into their mouths and ran out of the cafeteria with their cheeks puffed out. Other monsters, perhaps because they couldn't eat anymore, could only regretfully dump their food into the trash can. In short, they all ran out one after another two or three minutes early.
However, two or three monsters still did not leave.
Yin Zhu looked into the restaurant from outside the door.
As one of the demon servants stood up and strode toward the toilet, the other demons seemed to receive a signal and all ran toward the toilet, instantly turning into a toilet-grabbing battle.
The monster that moved first was pulled by the hair of the demon behind it and immediately fell behind by half a body length.
But... we're all monsters.
Trapped by strands of hair, she grew sharp claws to cut the hair that was tangling around her, and even kicked off the dining table to propel herself toward the restaurant's restroom.
The third monster saw her suddenly pass by him, and with lightning speed, he grabbed her legs, did a spectacular turn, and used the momentum to throw her behind him.
At that moment, a female ghost suddenly emerged from the shadows at the toilet entrance.
In the blink of an eye, the shadowy female ghost, who had arrived at some unknown time, swiftly opened the door, immediately slipped into the toilet, and closed the door behind her. She unexpectedly won the toilet-grabbing competition, declaring the other three the losers.
