"Whew...... Whoop......"

"Hey......"

Autumn afternoon, lost bamboo forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two shuttling figures suddenly stopped at the same time, standing a few meters apart.

"I haven't seen you for decades, and my skills haven't improved at all," Penglai Mountain Huiye smiled slightly, "It's really worthy of you." ”

"How dare you say it, can you please see what you look like first?" The white-haired girl who stood opposite Kaguya, holding her chest with her hands, looked disdainful.

This is indeed the case, the princess who was dressed up in black hair like a beautiful person in the past, after the two of them made a fist and foot exchange, her clothes were messy and she was panting slightly.

However, this embarrassment only took a moment to return to its usual state.

"I haven't improved at all, I'll return it. Mei Hong sneered.

"Ah, private is also a princess, and it's normal to be as vulgar as you are to fight each other. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you princess for your mercy," the younger sister walked to the side and lifted the basket with bamboo shoots on the ground, "I'm going back." ”

Penglai Mountain Kaguya and Fujiwara Meihong, the two who have a relationship, have always had a delicate relationship.

Neither of them was an aboriginal who had been here since Gensokyo, and there was a time when they learned that the other was actually in Gensokyo.

However, knowing that it is probably related to Penglai Mountain Huiye living in a simple house for several years, the two have not deliberately visited and corresponded until today.

In autumn, you can't buy bamboo shoots in the world, only in the depths of the bamboo forest that is inaccessible can you pick a relatively old bamboo shoot, and Mei Hong never thought that she would meet the old man.

Didn't ask too many questions.

When did you come to Gensokyo, where do you live?Although she had some questions, Mei Hong didn't ask.

"Sister Hong seems to be different from the past. Kaguya squinted and chuckled.

"Yes, do you mean the hatred between us or something?" Mei Hong shrugged, "No, what I want to say is just my unilateral hatred for you, that kind of thing is all good......"

"What's all right?"

"yes...... Now I live with Huiyin, and I'm very happy. ”

Hatred can be a motivation for a person to live, but so can protection. If you have to choose one of them, today's Fujiwara Meihong chooses the latter.

"Yes. Kaguya whispered, but there was no more.

"Yes, but if you want to say how annoying you are, it's better to be the same as in the past," Mei Hong tilted her head, "It's you, it's rare, even if you live in Gensokyo now, I remember that you don't usually like to go out, right?"

"Ahh......h ”

"Oh, it's good to take a walk," Mei Hong nodded, "Even if you are from Penglai, your body will rust if you don't exercise for too long." ”

"When will it be Mei Hong's turn to care about her private body?"

"Well, that's what I said. Mei Hong shrugged.

Picking up the basket, he turned his back to Kaguya and waved his hand.

"Wait, I want to ask about private matters. ”

"Huh?" looked back, "What?"

"It's been too long, I can't remember clearly, sister, have you ever given a private ring made of straw in the past?"

"Huh?" Mei Hong looked at Kaguya with an expression of "Is your brain broken?"

"Okay. ”

Part company with.

……

……

Penglai Mountain Kaguya has left the Eternal Pavilion since the morning.

Although she really doesn't like to go out, she has come to Gensokyo to hide for many years, and now she finally doesn't have to hide the existence of the Forever Pavilion anymore, and she can go out a little to relax.

At noon, I ate some snacks in the dim sum house in the world, and then went to visit Meihong, but was told by Kamibai Ze Huiyin to go out, and then went to the shrine to visit Mo Ming, but was told by Bo Li Reimu that he was not there either.

Under the wary eyes of Hakuri Reimu, Kaguya just sat on the porch and drank a cup of tea before leaving.

To her surprise, this not very pleasant distraction made her a little happier when she returned to the bamboo forest but met Meihong.

But the ensuing dialogue and development made her very unhappy.

In fact, if Sister Hong had a long time with revenge and other complicated obsessions for Kaguya, Kaguya has a lighter feeling for Sister Hong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in Gensokyo for a hundred years, and I didn't go to meet Meihong once.

It's just that Penglai people have experienced a hundred years and thousands of years, and it is excellent to have an old man. Being said by Mei Hong inevitably made her depressed.

"Speaking of which...... At that time, the memory of the incident was all blurred," the princess, who looked like a girl, sighed deeply, "but that child has grown a lot." ”

Kaguya paced slowly through the bamboo forest.

"Hey, it's not funny at all. ”

This is the source of her depression.

If you want to look for something interesting, it is obvious to look for the source of the first birth of those things.

Children are always more interesting than adults, and fighting the country is always more interesting than guarding the country.

Once things grow, they become boring and patterned, just like human beings, once they become adults, they can't help but be polished off by the world, and become sophisticated and sleek.

People call this trait maturity, but in Kaguya's view, it's just a self-consolation of human beings for their own inaction and drifting.

What is true maturity? It should probably be the formation of a unique personality, the discovery of the true self, the spiritual result and the harvest.

Speaking of which, the Great Youkai in Gensokyo is better than the humans in the Human World.

But maybe it's also because only the big monsters have so much leisure, self-examination in a long life, and then complete the transformation and sublimation.

On the other hand, the human beings living in the human world, the short life shrouded by natural disasters and demons, even if they are now better, how can they have such leisure? I heard Yonglin say that there has been no real sage in the world for a long time, probably because of this.

At the end of the line of sight, the Eternal Pavilion could already be seen, and Kaguya stretched his palms forward with his arms, then sighed and walked back.

Push open the door and take a leisurely stroll.

It's just that the moment he stepped into the atrium, Penglai Mountain Kaguya used his own ability, swished, and hid behind the pillar.

Not far from the entrance, a man and a woman are talking to each other, it is Mo Ming and Bayi Yonglin.

Miscellaneous...... What's the situation?

Using his own ability, it is easy to get a glimpse of the situation in the atrium.

The human named Mo Ming was sitting with Yonglin with a relaxed face, drinking tea and eating refreshments.

In this way, Alice's encounter may have been targeted by other forces hiding in the shadows. Mo Ming took a sip of tea.

"As it should be. Bayi Yonglin replied.

"To be honest, I was terrified when I was called over by that monster girl called Lingxian today," Mo Ming smiled and pinched a piece of yokan and put it into his mouth, "I didn't expect to apologize to me and answer a lot of my questions, it's really amazing." ”

"This is exactly the style of Forever Pavilion. ”

"So...... Thank you for your hospitality. ”

"Mo Mingjun is polite, are you still satisfied with Lingxian's craftsmanship?"

"Well, as far as the refreshments go, it's pretty good. ”

"So it needs to be improved?"

"Well, I can't say anything about improvement, the soft roasting method has been done to the extreme, that is, if the hard processing method can be improved, maybe the taste will be better. ”

"Then next time, please ask Mo Mingjun to teach the processing method to my disciple Lingxian. ”

"Huh?" Mo Ming hesitated, as if thinking about the significance of the other party's doing, and then nodded with a smile, "Okay, if you come to visit next time, if you don't dislike it, I will bring the tools for making dim sum." ”

……

……

Seeing Mo Ming walking from the other side of the entrance to the outside of the Eternal Pavilion, Penglai Mountain Huiye walked out of the house.

"Yonglin. Kaguya walked to the entrance and knelt down on the futon.

"Your Excellency, Princess. Bayi Yonglin took the tea set handed by the rabbit, personally added tea for his princess, and handed it over.

Taking the tea, Kaguya took a slight sip of tea and frowned.

Both the master and the slave are people who have seen and understood the scriptures, and although most of them will also discuss and talk about some small things, more often than not, there is a sense of unspoken.

On weekdays, Kaguya likes this very much, after all, for a woman with a long memory, the feeling of tacit and self-evident is a rare experience.

But now it's a different story.

In the afternoon, the Forever Pavilion was still peaceful, and the two of them sat in the hallway.

Bayi Yonglin took out a book from nowhere and looked at it, this scene seemed to be as usual everyday.

But when Yonglin put down the book again, intending to add tea to Kaguya, who was sitting and holding an empty cup, the princess, who had been in a daze for a long time and held an empty teacup that had been drunk, suddenly spoke.

"Yonglin, you are ......"

"Well, I've thought about something. Putting down the teapot, Bayi Yonglin sat back and picked up the small book he had just flipped.

"Will it be ......?"

"We talked about some festivals. ”

"Oh. ”

Hui Ye calmed down, picked up the teacup and puffed slightly, while listening to Yonglin continue: "Although the princess and Mo Mingjun have had several contacts since then, the ministers themselves should also be humble, so I asked Mo Mingjun to come to the Eternal Pavilion to talk about today's affairs." ”

"There's Lao Yonglin. Kaguya's brow furrowed completely.

"But there are other things, some thoughts. ”

“…… Hmm, can I listen to it?" Kaguya took a sip of tea.

"Well," Yonglin nodded, "it's about your marriage, princess." ”

Kaguya almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

"Yes. ”

For hundreds of years, Yonglin has mentioned this so-called love to himself several times, once or twice, and was used as a joke by Kaguya Ji to deal with the past, and he mentioned it many times, and he also seriously answered Yonglin's own thoughts.

"Is it possible for me to like someone else while waiting for Penglai?" paused, and then said, "In other words, who is qualified to like me?"

Kaguya once said this to Yongrin.

…… This kind of boring remarks, do you have to revisit the old things?

As if seeing the princess's displeasure, Bayi Yonglin smiled and said, "Princess, did you meet that Fujiwara sister in the bamboo forest today?"

"Huh, yes," I think it was because the movement was too big when I was with Mei Hong, which alarmed the rabbits nearby, and was told to Yonglin, "Mei Hong, this guy, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It's been a long time, maybe hundreds of years ago.

"Does the princess remember the first time she met Fujiwara Meihong?"

Penglai Shan Huiye raised his eyebrows: "How can you remember...... At that time, I almost didn't have any impression of the matter, and the only thing that remained in my mind was Fujiwara Meihong. ”

After all, the world has changed and the vicissitudes of life, if everything is kept in mind, even Penglai people can't bear it.

As soon as the scar is said to forget the pain, similarly, if Penglai people remember the things of life like ordinary humans, I am afraid that the sadness brought by life will continue to accumulate, which will make Penglai people lose the courage to survive in their endless lifespan.

Therefore, learning to forget is a compulsory course for every Penglai person.

"How much more can the princess remember?"

"Almost forgotten...... The motive for escaping the moon is still remembered, but what I saw and heard on the way was so much that I was almost unremembered for the years that followed on Earth. ”

"Oh, yes," Yayi Yonglin's eyes flashed as she turned her back to Kaguya flipping through the book, "Doesn't the princess feel pity?"

"What a pity?"

"Isn't it a pity that there are thousands of years of empty time, but there is no experience to recall?"

"Well, precious memories? This kind of thing is more than a luxury for the people of Penglai, right?"

"That's why there's a point in collecting, right?"

“…… Huh?" Kaguya looked at Yonglin, who was flipping through the book with his back to him, "Yonglin, you...... Seems to be hiding something from me?"

Aware of the gaze cast at him, Bayi Yonglin still flipped through the book and said: "Penglai people's appearance is just the appearance, and the heart is the essence, doesn't the princess think that she can start to take a step forward?"

"Don't," Kaguya put down the cup, then leaned back and poured it on the porch, "It's too much trouble to go further or something, so it's good, and you can let Yonglin take care of me =w=." ”

"Really?" the voice of the flip book.

"Of course, Yonglin, think about it, after marrying another woman, she became a serious concubine like Yamato Nadeshiko, can Yonglin imagine it?"

"I can't imagine it. ”

"yes, so ......"

"That's why it's fun, isn't it?"

"Huh?!" Penglai Shan Huiye sat up straight, "Yonglin, you shouldn't really have any ideas, right?"

"For example?"

"For example, whimsical matchmaking or something......"

"Young people with this kind of qualifications and character are not only Gensok, but also in many other worlds, which are rare to see. ”

"Tsk, Yonglin really looks up to that guy," Kaguya smiled, "but what does this have to do with me?"

"Doesn't the princess also like those literary works that tell about mortal love, but she doesn't have some longing for it?"

"Not at all," Penglai Mountain Kaguya replied, "I privately said that guy was a little interesting, and he wanted to take revenge, but that was just a literal meaning." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry," Yayi Yonglin closed the book, turned around, and smiled at Kaguyahime, "Then the question and answer will be invalidated, and I will not interfere in your affairs in this regard, Your Highness." ”

"It's better to be so. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
