My friend Alin, see the letter like a meeting.

I have seen a lot from my recent trip to Santuchuan, and I can't help but feel my own shallowness and ignorance, but it is really a surprise to hear from you.

I didn't try to visit you, hoping to understand. After the soul of the Santu River, all of them have lost their memories, and I will definitely cause you trouble if I appear rashly.

There are too many unsatisfactory things in the world, and although the sudden and unreasonable parting is painful, because it is destined to suffer, sometimes it will be accepted by us with peace of mind.

On the other hand, not being able to say goodbye at the time of parting may be the biggest regret.

So, I still want to write this letter to you.

Only this time, it's no longer you who are leaving, it's me.

By the time you read this letter, I should have left Gensokyo. It wasn't too long, but it was the happiest part of my time.

Although I am gone, I have neither regrets nor regrets.

Parting is imminent, and it is just another journey, and the witch's life is so long, and when she just says goodbye, she may have already changed things.

I don't dare to hope that you will still be alive at that time, but that one day when you return to the world, you will be able to give a little warmth to your lonely feelings because of this letter, or some comfort from this letter when you are dying, and that will be enough.

For me, receiving a letter from a friend, even if I don't read it, is a good thing to cheer up. If my letter lifts you up, there will be no regrets.

Whether it's a human or a monster, you've always been doing wrong things and saying regrets throughout your life, but that doesn't include your acquaintance.

The words of thanks, as well as goodbye, could not be spoken, but written on paper, but unexpectedly smooth.

Although it is a virtue to leave silently, it may also be a kind of sustenance to be able to leave a letterhead.

Goodbye, my dear friend.

Alice Margot Royd.

......

......

My friend Marisa, see the letter like a meeting.

Are you in good health lately? On weekdays, you always like to walk around, and when you don't show up, it's probably time to hide and practice.

The mutation in the people of the night festival seems to be a big blow to you, but please don't be too yourself.

Marisa-san, you are as dazzling and unattainable in my eyes as Miss Reimu in your eyes.

It was more than a year ago that I first met you at the banquet, and I still remember it vividly. In a trance, autumn went to spring, as if nothing had changed, but it was time for me to leave.

As sad as it is, I have to tell you the news. I didn't mean to leave, but what drove me forward from beginning to end was pure love. Hopefully, one day, you'll be able to find your home.

Without my neighbor in the Magic Forest, it might be a little deserted for those of you who like to be busy. But in any case, if you want to survive in this beautiful and cruel world, please be kind to yourself and love yourself.

Alice Margot Royd.

......

My friend Pache Rich, see the letter like a meeting.

......

"It's unlucky. ”

Mo Ming couldn't help but sigh as she walked through the forest.

What is the god's memory? I checked with Kaguya before returning to the shrine.

It is said that she herself said that the next day she would forget what she had eaten at noon on the first day, and that the life span of the gods is extremely long, and learning to forget the trivial things in life is the most basic cultivation.

But that doesn't seem to be the case. At the first moment when he first appeared at the shrine, Ryujin immediately jumped up.

With an expression of "I can recognize you even if I turn into ashes", Mo Ming screamed bitterly, and his body, which had already healed in the Eternal Pavilion, coughed again and again as if it had burst into a wound in an instant.

Fortunately, the only thing that has not changed is that after such a long time, this child still has the same upright personality as before.

Although such a thing as urine escape is disgraceful, but his image in the other party's heart is estimated to be broken, and he doesn't have to mind too much, but there is not much space charm left, if the other party intends to pursue, in Gensokxiang, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape.

At the moment, the other party has not caught up, it should be Reimeng's delaying tactics that have worked.

Reimeng's performance surprised Mo Ming a little. He was still happy when he saw himself appear, and after sensing the hostility of the dragon god, he immediately resumed his leisurely tea drinking posture with one hand on his cheek and nothing to do with himself.

Are you thinking about pulling down your teacher?

But this is not necessarily a bad thing, the dragon god's attention has been locked from the first time he appears, and he doesn't seem to notice the joy that Xiao Reimu is showing. In this way, as long as the guests are safely sent off after the tea party, the crisis can be resolved invisibly.

...... Although he wanted to deceive himself like this, it was clear that Reimu must be taking advantage of his absence to dig up his black history from the dragon god now.

The image of her past that came out of the mouth of the young and vigorous dragon god girl is probably not much whiter than that of the crow, which is terrible.

Tsk, how to put it, I have to find a few excuses for now, and I am afraid that the ambiguous statement that "they were all mistakes made when they were young" cannot be prevaricated.

Speaking of which, could it be that Kaguya sensed that things would develop like this, so he agreed to let me leave in advance? But no matter what, I can't do this kind of thing just after saying goodbye and turning my head back to the Eternal Pavilion, after all, I also want to save face...... It seemed a bit unreasonable to say this, Mo Ming thought about it for a while and changed his mind...... After all, it doesn't seem serious enough to be shameless.

I don't know when the tea party at the shrine will end, and there will be some time before the afternoon.

You can choose to borrow two books from Suzuna-an and sit down at the confectionery shop, but there seem to be other good options.

The path to the Magic Forest is not easy to walk, after all, most of the people who haunt it are not humans, and these non-people do not choose to walk, but they finally find a place with a foot deep and a shallow foot.

The familiar courtyard of the western-style building, from a distance, the curtains on the first and second floors have not been opened.

Aren't you at home, you can't be lying in bed, right?

Mo Ming pushed open the fence, walked to the door, and knocked lightly.

......

......

The door opened, but no one was seen behind it.

I was going to sigh that it was a familiar style of opening the door, but I didn't see the figure of Shanghai or Penglai floating in mid-air behind the door.

"Alice, are you at home?"

No response.

Out of caution, Mo Ming picked up the few remaining scrolls of magic circle paper in his hand and slowly walked through the entrance.

The curtains in the hall were tightly drawn, but by the light shining through the doorway, I could see someone sitting at a round table, with his back to him motionless.

It shouldn't be an enemy...... It can be recognized by the hairstyle features and the hair color that can be seen faintly through the sunlight.,It's Alice's predecessor.。

"Hello, may I ask ......"

"Mo Ming, do you know what you did wrong?"

It was not surprising that the other party knew his name, but the tone of the judge and the not-so-pleasant memory between the two made Mo Ming not let down his guard.

"What did you do wrong?" Does it mean that you didn't bring a gift as a visitor? Actually, ......"

An irresistible force came from his back and pushed him to the ground again.

Although at that moment, Mo Ming shook the magic circle in his hand, but he didn't try to use it in the end.

"It seems that we have to do this to have a smooth conversation, and it's strange that you seem to be biased against me. ”

"Child, I hope you can tell me honestly what you have done, I am in a bad mood right now, and I may do irreparable things because of your arrogance. ”

"My arrogance?" Mo Ming's face was so close to the ground that he couldn't pronounce the words clearly, "Why don't we change positions, I'm willing to accept your arrogance." ”

“......”

"You ask me what I did, and I want to know what I did. Where's Alice?"

"Little Love is gone. ”

"Where?"

“...... How does it feel to never see her again in your short life?"

"It doesn't feel good, where did she go?"

"Feeling...... Not so good?"

Shenqi stood up, walked over to Mo Ming, squatted down, and picked up his collar.

punched Mo Ming in the face fiercely.

"And now?"

Mo Ming stumbled, his eyes were dark, and he almost lost consciousness.

Suppressing the surging pain, tinnitus and dizziness, Mo Ming noticed that the strength that suppressed his body was gone, tried to stand up straight, and then laughed.

"I'm just a ...... Defenseless in front of you...... Ordinary humans. ”

"If you want to warn me, or if you're trying to give me a hard time...... My suggestion is to remove my arm...... Or break the bone, it's for you anyway...... It's something that can be easily done. This...... Painless fist slamming, I really don't know...... What you want to express. ”

“......”

Mo Ming patted his forehead, trying to make his head stunted by a punch brighter.

"Since you don't speak, then I'll ask a question, where did Alice go?"

"Went to a place where I won't see you again. ”

"I just saw some envelopes on the table, are there any of them for me?"

"Since Xiao Ai chose to wave goodbye to the past, how can she still leave a broken thread?"

"Is that so...... In this case, it may indeed have something to do with me. ”

"Indeed...... Possibly?"

Seeing that the beauty in front of him seemed to be about to make trouble again, Mo Ming sighed.

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Alice's violent senior. ”

"My name is Shenqi. ”

"Alright, Miss Shenqi. I'm not pretending to be innocent, I'm not denying Alice's feelings for me, and I'm not questioning the fact that Alice has left Gensokyo. ”

"I just, I will never believe the hints in your words, Alice left here because of self-pity or discouragement," Mo Ming shook her head, "I don't believe in such a thing, it can't be." ”

"I've been through a lot since I met her, and no matter how cruel and ironic the reality is, she will take difficult steps to try to change, and this witch is such a personality. ”

"Alice is a witch. But her mind is sensitive and delicate, and of all the non-humans I know, she is the closest human being, and even more like a human being. ”

"I was amazed when I first approached her and noticed it, and I still do today. ”

"Miss Shenqi, many times, humans are not as honest as other races. Human beings convey to others only the messages they want others to believe and understand, and there is nothing good or evil to do. ”

"Although reading only the superficial information without delving into it is a kind of tenderness in most cases, and I have tried to do this for a long time in order to get along better with Little Reimu. But now I know better than you that sometimes finding out the truth that is deliberately concealed is the only right choice that will not be disappointed. ”

"Or is it the right choice for you to wishfully accept this appearance of being able to move herself, and therefore refuse to think about the true mood and purpose of Alice's departure that may be hidden behind the scenes?"

"......" Shenqi did not answer.

"Miss Shenqi, let me confirm again, are there any of those letters on the table for me?"

"Nope. ”

"Marisa Kiriyu?"

"Yes. ”

"Witch Pacuri?"

"Yes. ”

"Xiao Ling? Gu Ming Di Jue? or even ...... Tsui Yuelin?"

"Both. ”

Mo Ming fell into deep thought.

"I think something must have happened that made Alice have to leave Gensokyo. What I'm going to do is to immediately investigate where Alice has been, who she has come into contact with, what positions these people have, and what message they might have to convey to Alice. ”

"Although I say that it is not good, judging from the signature of the letter, the possibility of having something to do with me is not low. ”

"As for Miss Shenqi, since you knew Alice before she came to Gensokyo, I hope you can help confirm whether she has returned to where she once belonged, whether it is or not, I hope to hear from you soon. ”

"Anyway, I don't mind helping my friend if it doesn't matter to me. If it had anything to do with me, I wasn't in the habit of throwing all my baggage on someone else's back for me, even if it was Alice. ”

......

......

......

Svetness, a suburb of the capital city of Campbell.

A private long-distance bus bound for Findak, a thousand kilometers away, had a large space for only three or two people.

With a displeased face, Ji'er Dijescher took out her mobile phone that vibrated with a sound, and the chat screen showed the name she didn't want to see.

She glanced up at the boy sitting across from her, who grimaced at her.

Swipe the screen to reveal a chat message from the other person.

"Sister, to be honest, we should have taken a plane, it's too late to regret it now. 』

I couldn't help but sigh. Although the so-called family heir is just a joke now, despite this identity, this younger brother who should have been in school but actually dropped out of school still broke the hearts of the whole family.

As if inheriting the tradition of the Dejescher family's "actionist", he dropped out of high school shortly after he entered high school, and while working part-time, he was looking for opportunities to join his "business".

"No one forced you to come along, and this little suffering is nothing compared to the expected future encounters, so you get out of the car for me immediately. 』

"Just kidding, sister, it's nice to take a long ride, you can see the scenery along the way, you can't see anything on the plane, and this bus looks several grades higher than everything I've done before...... Speaking of which, the dozing old man in the last row, should we really take him with us? When the expedition team selected the members, the physical requirements made me suffer a lot. 』

"The Professor's identity is necessary, and his help is indispensable for us to obtain Operation Freedom status in Fendak. 』

"Isn't this old pedant really going to drag us down?"

"The only one who is most likely to drag me down right now is you, Chris. 』

"What are you kidding? I'm serious. By the way, don't call me Chris, sister. 』

"That's why you're a drag on us, the expedition is full of like-minded people who are willing to risk their lives for the truth, and we have nothing to do with each other. From the moment you got in the car, you were Chris, I was Jill, and other than that, none of us we. 』

"Got it, got it...... It's really necessary to be so restrained, and we didn't go to Raccoon City, and if it was known that we were brothers and sisters, were we afraid that people would worry that we were conspiring to share the spoils?

"Chris, maybe it's time to teach you your first lesson in society, humans are never creatures of the word. 』

"I can understand this, sister, after all, others won't be deliberately wary if they don't know our relationship, maybe they can save their lives at a critical moment. 』

"However, if you think that others don't know about our relationship and let it up, it will become your own flaw. 』

"Our identities revealed?"

"Never assume that chat software is safe. 』

Sitting on the other side of the bus, Chris (not his real name) stared at his phone and was stunned when a chat box from a stranger popped up.

Strangely, I should have turned off chat requests from non-friends.

"Hey, lad, I'm glad I have a teammate on the team who is less physically fit than me...... I mean, except for the professors. 』

"I know you, Mr. Hacker. 』

Chris calmed down and immediately recognized the identity of the visitor.

"You helped me and my sister get the fake visas, right? 』

Jill watched Chris type from the sidelines, as if sensing something, and sent a message at the same time.

"Mr. Hacker is one of the few people on the expedition that I can fully trust, and you can remember what I say. 』

And Jill's phone also immediately received a text message from the hackers.

"I'm glad you said that, but I didn't expect to be ahead of the professor. 』

At the same time, Chris's phone sent a message.

"Mr. Hacker, are you joining the expedition as well?"

"A faceless hacker is a good hacker, but this time, according to your sister, it really needs manpower, and there is no way, who makes it difficult to find someone as reliable as me. 』

Chris texts Jill.

"Sister, I think he wants to fish for you, maybe you can consider performing a punch to kill a cow to him. 』

Chris receives a text message from the hacker.

"I don't know if your sister can kill Niu with one punch, but I'm sure she can kill me with one punch. 』

"When will Mr. Hacker get on the bus?"

"I'll look at your position, you've just been out of Campbell for a short time, and it's probably half a day before I get in the car. 』

Chris sent to Jill.

"If you count Mr. Hacker, there should be 5 of us in the adventurer squad?"

The hacker sent it to Chris.

"You're not a professor properly, but if I want to say the same, I'll be able to handle all things like legal status, and I'll be able to take care of this old man who has a problem walking, where are we going on an outing?"

"You have the ability to send it to my sister. 』

"I'm not capable. 』

The three of them were stunned to turn the peer-to-peer chat into a group chat.

"Sister, where did you make an appointment for this private bus?"

"Don't ask about anything superfluous. 』

"I mean, I've been putting up with it for a long time since I first got in the car. 』

"What, you need to go to the bathroom?"

"No, I mean, I'm probably in love. 』

"Don't blame me for not reminding you Chris, the girl sitting in the front row had better not mess with her. 』

"What, the identity is amazing, what age is this, and you are still noble?"

In a trance, he seemed to forget that he was originally from a noble background.

"If I'm not mistaken, this coach is supposed to be her property, and if you mess with her, we'll all be left on the deserted highway. 』

"Aren't we renting a car?"

"Strictly speaking, we're just hitchhiking. 』

"Sister, I saw a sketchpad in her luggage, and to be honest, I like literary girls very much. 』

"Call me sister again and block you, habits are to be formed slowly, it's better to be cautious from the beginning of the mobile phone chat. 』

"Okay, I want to say, her side face with her head on the side is really beautiful, you said that if I went to talk to her, would I have the gas to get up because I disturbed my lunch break?"

Jill no longer paid attention to Chris's messages.

About an hour later, the afternoon sun was scorching on the highway, and the girl in the front row seemed to be asleep from the beginning.

Chris chose to stay on standby in order to keep his phone charged and dozed off.

Jill looked out the window at the desolation of the highway and didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, the bus stopped.

"What, are you there?" Chris perked up, looking out the window, not even a ghost gas station.

"It's not going to get a flat tire, is it?" said Chris, quickly closing his crow's mouth as he looked out the window on the other side of the bus.

The driver lowered the windshield, and outside the car stood a beautiful blonde woman with a parasol and sunglasses.

"Sister...... I mean Jill, I'm probably in love again. ”

The blonde beauty in sunglasses didn't know what to say to the driver, who took the things and turned to look at the girl in the first row with her eyes closed.

"Miss, this foreigner wants us to give her a ride, just let her down on the city road in front of her, and the reward is ......" swallowed, "Look at this gem, look ......"

Linda, who hadn't opened her eyes along the way, woke up at this time.

She tilted her head, and her gaze did not linger on the jewel in the driver's hand, but fell on the blonde girl standing outside the car, waiting for her answer, and more specifically, the open bound book she held in her hand.

"Give the stuff back. You can give her a ride. ”

With that, he leaned back into his seat again, tilted his head sideways and closed his eyes.
