Wrong.

After wandering in the Lost Bamboo Forest for a long time, Miss Hakurei's shrine maiden senses that something is wrong.

On the way here, Reimu Brain made up several possible occasions, but there was no such situation as it was now.

Although she hasn't been here many times, the shrine maiden is not an ordinary person after all, and she will never be so unlucky as she is now—it must be that the Eternal Pavilion has done something again, although there is no direct proof, but her intuition tells her so.

Because the teacher needs to recuperate undisturbed, the pharmacist here Yonglin simply hid the entire Eternal Pavilion No, you can't speculate on the good side...... If you think about it, if this is the case, it is not necessary at all, and since you have done it, it is certainly not as simple as recuperation.

What to do? On the basis that this is a lie, the problem becomes complex and serious...... Because this matter not only involves the teacher and the eternal pavilion, but also a third party who should be neutral - what position is Yakumo Blue lying?

I can't think of it, or rather, there are too many possibilities, but I don't have a clue for a while.

I can't help but think of the story of the monsters that the teacher once told, after the protagonist is trapped by the monster's magic circle, he can call a god called "land god" from the ground to tell him the information about the monster in this place and the way to defeat the monster.

It's hard to say if there is such an indigenous god in Gensokyo, but if you want to say something like that, Reimu knows it.

Youkai Sage - An indescribable horror being, a great youkai who has been active as a great sage since before Gensokyo's appearance, she must have a way to break the illusion that shrouds Eternity Pavilion here.

Reimu rose above the bamboo forest, put his hands in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted without caring about the image of a lady:

"Purple - come out for me!"

Rational use of the resources in her hands, these things are also part of the strength - this is what the teacher taught her.

Although I understand that this guy often spies on himself through the gaps, but the time to find her is just there, and it is really unlikely, so-

"Spell Card - 'Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array'!"

It was afternoon, and although it was not night, the gorgeous light still bloomed in an instant, and it was impossible to open one's eyes, and then there was a loud bang, but because it was cast in the open space high in the sky, it did not cause any substantial damage.

It's been more than a year since the rules of danmaku became popular, and many youkai are fascinated by them and keen to study their spell card skills, but we Miko Maiden, who created the rules of danmaku duels, don't seem to care about it. Although the inspiration for the new spell card never faded, the finished product, the double barrage enchantment used to shelter from the rain, and the Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array to listen to the fireworks sounded.

It's just that Yakumo Purple hasn't appeared here as he wished, and Reimu can't help but sigh.

The figure that was originally standing high in the air slowly fell back into the depths of the bamboo forest.

After all, Yakumo Blue is a Shikigami of Purple, and what she did was more likely to be done by the will of her own master—if everything was caused by Purple, it would be even more impossible to find her.

Reimu does know a little bit.、Yokai Sage has been traveling to several outside worlds in order to collect faith for Gensokyo.,Often disappear for months - the last time we met was after the New Year's Festival.,When is the next time?Maybe for youkai.,It's just a blink of an eye.。

Leaving aside the purpose of the others, why don't you want to see yourself, teacher?

Although he understood the will of the teacher himself, who was not necessarily gone forever, he couldn't help but start digging into the horns.

Slightly depressed, Reimu immediately woke up and pinched his cheek with his hand, now he must cheer up!

Since the teacher has violated the agreement of "two people to bear it together", then there must be an unexpected situation that cannot be borne even if they are together—in terms of the teacher's character, when he makes this judgment, he must think: since the evil consequences are too serious for the two of them to bear together, it is better for him to swallow it alone, so that at least he will be safe.

That's right, that's what the teacher would have thought.

Reimu stood high in the air and thought quietly.

The manor, the tomb, and the stone.

Teachers are not personalities who will die generously.

No matter how difficult the situation is, the teacher will definitely struggle to survive. If you are so depressed, you will not be able to lend a helping hand to the teacher when she needs it most.

Think about it quickly – even if the teacher disappears into thin air without leaving any useful information, there must be something you can do to help.

Start with the easiest place to start.

Just as Reimu was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Miss Reimu, you've been standing here for a long time. ”

When he turned around, he appeared in the purple Shikigami - Yakumo Blue.

......

......

Reimu looked at the demon fox standing leisurely a few meters away, and was slightly stunned.

Yakumo Blue's posture and affinity are often more like a youkai sage than Purple - even she has taken over almost all the work that originally belonged to her master, and can be described as the embodiment of loyalty and virtue, but unfortunately, if you are standing on the opposite side at the moment, it must be a sinister and cunning person.

"Since Lan you appeared, I hope I thought too much, take me to the teacher, right now. ”

Yakumo Lan still tied her hands, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she slowly shook her head: "Lord Mo Ming is safe now, in comparison, your own duty is the top priority. ”

Reimu sensitively captures what the words are referring to.

"You mean, there's a mutation happening now?"

Yakumo Lan shook her head: "The witch's job is to protect Gensokyo, and solving the mutation is only one, not the whole thing. ”

"Generally speaking, anomalies that pose a threat to Gensokyo are classified as anomalies," Reimu wondered, "What else?"

"There are also some potential threats. ”

"These have always been handled by Purple. ”

There are many potential threats, and it takes seasoned experience to make judgments, and the well-informed youkai sage is better suited for this job than a careless shrine maiden.

"Purple-sama can't make a move, and she's not even in Gensokyo at the moment. ”

"Even Zi has to be avoided?Could it be that the god has come somewhere? But it doesn't matter, I just want to know what this has to do with my teacher's disappearance?"

"I can't say it explicitly, but it's directly related, and the only thing I can tell you is if you can successfully address these threats...... That's right, it refers to the 'coming gods', so that Lord Mo Ming's crisis will be resolved. ”

"Oh-" said Reimu to herself, dragging her voice meaningfully, "So, the teacher hid because he was avoiding trouble?" and if he didn't want to affect me and thought about it, it would make sense...... But in this case, why is the teacher the only one hiding when the god comes? It could only be that this god has a holiday with the teacher—and naturally he is also my enemy, so don't worry, I will 'solve' this threat. ”

Yakumo Lan sighed, "That's why your teacher is hiding—Mikome-sama, you are indeed invincible in Gensokyo, but the battle of the gods is an exception - even if they can't defeat you, the power of the gods is enough to easily destroy this fragile Gensokyo, if so, the enemy will be victorious without a fight, and we will be defeated without a fight." ”

"Meaning, can't you give the other party a chance to fight back?, do you need me to take it by surprise and kill with one blow?" I can't help but start to make up the scene where a god appears in Gensokyo, and he is suddenly beaten by himself as soon as he takes a step.

Yakumo Lan was convinced: "It means that we need to think about some retreat methods other than force." ”

"I haven't tried to heal the gods, let alone a method other than force, wait......" Reimu seemed to think of something, "You mean, convince people with reason?" "Isn't that what the teacher is good at?"

Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top.

"Exactly. Yakumo Lan finally smiled again.

"It's a nuisance. Lingmeng showed an expression of obvious disgust that she rarely showed in front of Mo Ming.

"It's for your teacher. ”

"Got it, got it. Reimu said impatiently.

It's getting dark.

The two began to walk towards the bamboo forest, and Reimu looked back at the depths of the bamboo forest and asked, "Lan, can you guarantee the teacher's safety?"

"Of course, I ......" seemed to be about to say something, when Yakumo Blue suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Reimu alerted.

"I have something to leave the meeting, so I'll go to the shrine to talk to you about the retreat. After speaking, he didn't wait for Reimu to react, and stepped into the gap that opened up in an instant.

Reimu was about to catch up and stop it, when suddenly a force field similar to an enchantment spread through the bamboo forest.

A shadow slowly emerged from the darkness of the bamboo forest—not a familiar, but by no means unfamiliar, Rapunzel princess.

It is the night of Penglai Mountain.

......

......

Enveloped by this sudden force, Reimu has a wonderful touch.

She glanced back again, and Yakumo Blue was still frozen in the moment when she was about to fully enter the gap, as if time had stood still at this moment.

Reimu tidied up her clothes and slowly picked up at the same speed.

Kaguya-hime, who calls herself a princess, has a story about her beauty to the extent that it has been passed down to Gensokyo - Reimu knows that this story is based on Suzuna-an's biography and not Mo Ming herself, but it actually makes Miss Miko, who has always been unmoved by external objects, a little antagonistic.

A few meters away, Kaguya stood still, and Reimu stopped.

"Miss Reimu, how are you doing?"

"It's not good, the teacher is hiding what I'm doing again, let him come out to see me. ”

"Lord Mo Ming needs to recuperate. ”

If I'm not mistaken、The Kaguya in front of me showed a haughty character in the legend.,And at the recent wisdom game festival, he initiated a mutation that played everyone.,How can you ...... now? Although I feel strange about the wonderful title of the princess in front of me, now is not the time to dwell on this.

"So, is it true that the teacher's body needs to recuperate?"

"The lie is more true, but Mo Mingjun is not in good health, his illness is in the soul, I wonder if Miss Lingmeng asked Mo Mingjun to take conditioning medicine on time as she had entrusted her privately?"

“...... The teacher said that he was in good health and did not need to take medicine every day. In terms of momentum, Reimu couldn't help but weaken by three points.

"So he's in need of recuperation now. ”

"......" Reimu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Miss Reimu, I'm here to tell you one thing - don't fight the gods lightly. ”

"What, you're here to persuade you too?" Reimu looked up and looked back at Penglai Mountain Kaguya.

"Not really, Reimu-sama," Kaguya shook her head, "You do have great strength, but sometimes the reason why you have been able to defeat powerful enemies is sometimes because your opponents are not sufficiently conscious—to destroy the Hakurei Great Barrier and weaken your power to defeat you. ”

"How did I hear the teacher say that it was because Purple had destroyed all the monsters that had the consciousness to destroy the Great Enchantment?"

"It doesn't matter how good it is. You just need to know that the gods who are about to descend here are coming with hatred and must not be underestimated. ”

Ling dreamed for a moment and nodded, "What kind of god is it?" ”

"The dragon god is also a god who has been cultivated - its essence is the same as that of the two pillars of the Shouya Shrine, but its strength is different from that of cloud and mud. This god has the power to open the world, and Gensokyo also borrowed her hand when it was established. ”

"Dragon God?" Reimu was surprised, the other gods themselves did not know, the legend of the dragon god has not been broken among the humans of Gensokyo, after all, as the god who opened up this world, many humans regard it as the guardian god of Gensokyo-although this guardian god has been picking until now, and has never taken care of this acre and three points of land.

"If it's a dragon god, she shouldn't have a reason to destroy the land she opened up with her own hands, right?"

"It depends on which is stronger, hatred or the will to protect. ”

In fact, this patron saint who abandoned her fantasy and neglected her hometown is like a mother who has given birth to a child and has left it alone, and she can't expect much from her "maternal love".

"I don't like to leave my fate to someone else. "Reimu told the truth.

"When you meet her, you will understand that sometimes force is not the best option. ”

"Jun said something inexplicable," Reimu sighed, "Finally, I'll make sure that the teacher is absolutely safe with you, right?"

After a pause, Kaguya replied, "Mo Mingjun won't have an accident. ”

"What if?"

"There will be no case. ”

Reimu was not satisfied with the answer: "Have you thought of an emergency strategy? Even the gods are not foolproof, right?"

"What if...... What you said happened, and the private meeting made the perpetrator regret being born in this world. How's it going, isn't it?"

"Mm-hmm, sounds okay. ”

As if receiving a satisfied reply, Reimu nodded, turned around, and took a step.

Suddenly, he turned around, clasped his hands on his chest, looked into Kaguya's eyes, and asked with an unflinching momentum, "So, His Royal Highness Kaguya of Penglai Mountain, can I ask what is the relationship between you and my teacher?"

"What does Reimu think?" Undeterred by the sudden questioning, Kaguya asked with the usual calm smile.

"It stands to reason that you should have known each other after the Wisdom Game Festival, but I think there must be something that I don't know, between you. ”

"It's true, but it's not. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The relationship with Mo Mingjun is not pertinent to summarize from a private perspective, if Miss Lingmeng is free, it would be good to ask him. ”

"Do you mean, your relationship has reached the point where 'whatever the teacher says is what it is'?"

Kaguya raised an eyebrow, surprised by Reimu's acuity, but then laughed.

"It's not that rosy. ”

Reimu nodded: "I've already understood, and I'll find the teacher to confirm it in detail when I get back." ”

As he spoke, he untied the small package he was carrying behind him and took out a delicate snack box from it.

"This is a gift that I originally planned to visit my teacher, so since I can't meet him, I ask you to give it to him...... Of course, you can also eat it. ”

Hand over the box.

"If you have time, go see the kid named Kagiyama Hinata, she's nowhere near as strong as you think," after abruptly throwing out an irrelevant topic, Horaiyama Kaguya said as a send-off, "Goodbye, Miss Reimu." ”

"Goodbye, Kaguya-hime. Thinking about her purpose in mentioning the god of misfortune, Reimu turned.

The force field disappears.

Seeing that Yakumo Blue disappeared in the gap not far away, Reimu had no intention of stepping forward to stop it, and even if he didn't have to look behind him, he knew that Penglai Mountain Kaguya had already disappeared.

As twilight approaches, Reimu walks towards the shrine.

......

......

At the same time, in the Forest of Magic, Alice's mansion.

It was getting dark, and the witch was in her boudoir...... The scumbag Mo Ming sat on the edge of the bed cautiously, and then flicked it with a big grin.

"Yo, it's still a spring bed, it's not a craft in Gensokyo, right?"

Going to the local customs, today's bunks have long been used to sleeping, and I haven't touched such a thing as a bed for a long time, not to mention this obviously Western-style, even slightly Gothic-style bed.

Alice ignored him, just leaned against the door, and said:

"Because I don't like the prying eyes of the monster sage, I spent a lot of effort to completely isolate this room from the outside, and it seems to be one, but in fact, there is a space that is isolated, and others can't explore here. ”

This is also the reason why Alice would consider letting Mo Ming live here - after all, if Yakumo Lan really has bad intentions, it is absolutely necessary to block the surveillance between the gaps.

"Having said that, if I live in your place and you sleep in the guest room, others can easily know that there is a situation, ......right?" Mo Ming suddenly showed a flirtatious expression, "I understand, you see that this bed seems to be quite big, or ......"

Alice leaned against the door, her hands on her chest, her face tilting her head expressionlessly, motioning for him to continue.

"Why don't I sleep on the ground and lay on the floor, do you think it's feasible?"

"No," Alice smiled, "the reason why the witch goes to bed every day is more of a habit, and it is not uncommon for Pache to read for days on end without sleeping or eating. ”

"Isn't that going to stink?"

"Do you think other races have sweat glands like humans?" Suddenly his tone became a little dissatisfied, and then he realized that it was a bit inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow to discuss skin problems here, Alice straightened up and turned to close the door, "Tonight is my reading day, you can rest well, tomorrow I will go to the big library." ”

"It's a little boring, to be honest, there are no days and nights in the Earth Spirit Temple, I just woke up six hours ago, what books do you have over there?

This small bungalow is said to have a basement that Alice has never let anyone set foot in.

"What's the point of staying in my house if you leave this room?"

With the exception of Alice's bedroom, any location is as dangerous as anywhere else in Gensokyo.

"That's right. "Don't give up.

Alice closed the door.

Then he pushed it open and exposed his head.

"Do you have anything you want to eat early tomorrow?"

"Bacon, omelette milk. Mo Ming was unceremonious.

The "......" door snapped back shut.
