"Teacher...... Will you become my Shikigami?"

This is something that the little witch suddenly mentioned one afternoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two were sitting in front of the entrance of the shrine holding teacups, and Mo Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Shikigami? I remember mentioning it in the Hakuri Notes, what is it? Oh, it seems to be the spirit of the Onmyoji Servant, right?"

"It doesn't have to be a spirit. ”

"I refuse. ”

“…… I don't command the teacher to do what he doesn't want to do, and the teacher can also gain a lot of power. ”

"Why do I have to be the Shikigami of Little Reimu? I don't need a lot of strength. "It sounds pretty good, though.

However, I heard that Shikigami's duty is to protect his master, and he is a mortal, which can only be regarded as a burden to Reimu.

"If you don't like it, forget it. The little witch tried to make herself look unconcerned.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I don't really like the constraints of identity. "But fetters are another matter, Mo Ming thought.

This is the second summer that Mo Ming has experienced since coming to Gensokyo.

It's only been a year since I came to Gensokyo, and I always feel like it's been a long time.

It was very hot at noon in the summer, but fortunately, due to the angle, the shadow of the eaves covered the entrance part.

A rare gust of wind blew, and there was a burst of comfort on my body.

The cicadas are also singing one after another.

The tea has also been drunk.

"Would the teacher like to come to the shrine to work?"

"Huh?"

"It's just cooking and other work, it's not tiring," he paused, "I can work hard to solve the mutation and make money." ”

"Hehe, if I really live here, I'm embarrassed to ask Xiao Lingmeng for a salary. ”

There is such a thing as mutation, which is not always there. Besides, if you take too much initiative to solve the mutation, you will reduce your worth, and it will not be good to make money. This is a reminder of Reimu.

But...... The little witch talked for a long time, and Mo Ming couldn't pretend that she didn't understand what she wanted to say.

I guess I want to keep myself.

"To be honest, I don't have any relatives outside. There's an old man alive, but I don't think he'll want to see me again. So there's no reason why I have to go back. ”

With her hands propped up to the sky, Reimu felt the sound of her heart beating violently in her chest.

Plop, plop, plop.

"But ......"

The little witch's arm supporting her body shook slightly.

"I'm sorry, but I still had to leave for a while for various reasons. ”

I can't describe the mood of the little witch at this time.

What are the reasons for all sorts of reasons?

Still, she was keen, and she caught some information.

"The teacher is saying, will you come back here?"

"I can't give a definite answer. Things are moving in a hurry. It depends on how well things go for me. ”

He added, "I'll do my best to get back." ”

Then he looked left and right again and said, "Don't tell Zi." ”

The little witch nodded: "I'll wait here for the teacher to come back." ”

"Don't hope too much. ”

"I'll wait for the teacher to come back. ”

"Okay. ”

Mo Ming got up, picked up the teapot and went into the house to refill the water.

Slowly and leisurely shook it back, adding tea to both of them.

It's too hot, and you sweat when you move a little.

"That's when you should have some chilled plum soup. ”

"What's that?"

"Good stuff. If I can come back from outside, I'll bring some for you to drink. ”

"Hmm. The little witch nodded.

Maybe there was some change in her mood, and the little witch's eyes regained some light.

……

……

It was noon a few days later, in the same place, and the two were holding teacups.

Today, the breeze is constant, blowing on people, and it is a little restrictive.

"It's been almost these days. ”

It was obviously a hot day, but the little witch felt cold.

"Look at your ...... expression"

“……”

"I didn't say I'd leave today. ”

The face is slightly better.

What a good girl.

Silent.

"Next, I would like to make some suggestions from the standpoint of a friend. ”

“……”

"It's just a suggestion, not a teacher's teaching. I can't guarantee that I'm absolutely right. However, I have experienced a lot of things, and I have my own unique side to the problem, and these proposals must be worth referring to for you. ”

“…… Well. ”

"Choose the good and follow it. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Yakumo Murasaki is someone to rely on. Although she is very scheming, she is in the same boat as you. If one day, the villagers of the village collectively denounce you, kidnap you in the name of righteousness, and want to force you to stand on the side of humanity to fight against youkai on behalf of humanity, then remember to go to Yakumo Murasaki. ”

"Will this happen?"

"I don't shy away from guessing others with the utmost malice. ”

“…… Well. ”

"When the villagers gradually meet their daily needs and their spiritual culture gradually develops, if there happens to be a good and outstanding leader in the village at this time, perhaps they will no longer be satisfied with the situation of others sleeping soundly next to the couch. Human beings have always believed that if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different. At that point, you have to remember that Gensokyo is what you should be protecting. Don't be fooled by any hypocrisy of human beings. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Let me think about it. ”

Mo Ming took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"Also, about the duel mechanics in Gensokyo. This is something I found by accident next to the Lake of Mist. I found it interesting that a few elves fought each other, and they declared before the duel which specific moves and spells they would use, and then won the duel purely based on the amount of combat experience and the timing of the moves. ”

Some time ago, I often went to the big library, and it was normal to run into goblins there when I went back and forth.

"Those are just goblins playing, right?"

"It's playing, and it's a revelation to you. If one day, you feel that you are strong enough. You can try to make your own set of dueling rules so that you don't lose your life between the two sides, and then force all the humans and youkai in Gensokyo to obey in unison. Remember, the strong have the right and responsibility to make the rules. ”

"The teacher is saying, let me make a rule for the peaceful settlement of disputes?"

"As long as the losing side in the duel does not die, there will be no hatred that cannot be resolved. If you can formulate such a set of rules, then you will benefit the vast majority of people in Gensokyo, and even your next successor, and Yakumo will be grateful to you for it. ”

"What kind of rules do you need?"

"It's up to you to think about it. But remember, you have to think about it until you're strong enough. As for the level of your strength, you can check with Yakumo Murasaki. Once you've set the rules, the first one to discuss with Yakumo, who thinks it's feasible and then proceeds to the next step. ”

"The teacher trusts Purple a lot. ”

"Yakumo is a scheming person. But as far as the heart is concerned, having such a teammate is not a bad thing. ”

"Purple is very smart. ”

"Yes, but if you want a big monster as deep in the city to really treat you as a teammate, you must also have your own calculations, rather than continue to keep your previous natural stupidity. ”

"What is a natural stay?"

“…… Far from it. After Yakumo recognizes your strength, go find all the big monsters in Gensokyo and come to your door one by one to force your rules. If you do not agree, you will be able to agree until you agree. When all the big monsters agree with your rules, the rest is easy. ”

"Does the teacher think I'm that good?"

"I have an advantage that is different from others, that is, I never bully young people into poverty. ”

"Purple said that I can't even beat the weakest big youkai now. ”

"Hmm. So it's just a proposal for you at this stage. You still have to work hard to practice now and make yourself stronger. Yakumo said that you are the best qualified Hakurei shrine maiden she has ever seen, and you have to have confidence in yourself. ”

"I won't let the teacher down. ”

"Didn't you say that this is a conversation between friends?"

“…… Well. Won't let ...... Ernie sauce disappointed. ”

"Cough, cough, cough, cough. "Tea choked.

"Is the teacher alright?"

"It's fine. ”

I suddenly realized that I was only in my early twenties.

"I haven't been to the village for many days, if I leave, can Xiao Lingmeng do me a favor?"

"Hmm. ”

"Say goodbye to a night sparrow monster called Mystia, and I'm back outside. ”

"......" mentioned this topic, and the little witch was silent again.

"Okay?"

“…… Well. He nodded.

Although it was strange why the teacher let him go to the human village to find a youkai, now Reimu was not in the mood to inquire carefully.

"I've been tired from practicing lately, right? There's a banquet tomorrow, so let's go and join in the fun. Remember to call Morisa along. ”

Young people like to participate in banquets, but it is better for the little witch to bring her friends with you, so that you can experience the fun of the banquet most pleasantly.

Before leaving, let's attend the banquet and get together.
