[E-hour = PM7:15, E-hour 2-quarter = PM7:30, and so on]

The wine and food were served, and the banquet was noisy.

For most of the non-humans present, this so-called festival is just a banquet, and the Kagura of the Hakurei shrine maiden who is about to appear is naturally regarded as a performance at the banquet on weekdays.

The arrival of Sanae in the East Wind Valley was a little unexpected, because as the relationship between the main witch in the world to preside over the sacrifice, she could only stay here for a short time before leaving, and the child's reception was naturally handed over to her predecessor Reimu, and Mo Ming was also busy here.

If you want to talk about unexpected visitors, there are really a lot of them at this festival, and the most headache is probably the big monster who is only one person at a single table over there, and he naturally stays away from it on weekdays, but now after all, it is special, and he can't wait to entertain him alone, so he can't be left out in the cold.

Speaking of those who didn't receive the invitation but visited, of course, it's not just this, but also a headache is the lord of the underworld, who is feasting at one of the tables, the lord of the underworld, Yuyuzi of the Xixing Temple, to Mo Ming's surprise, her visit is actually a gift to the master of the family's court soul demon dream, which is a more solemn etiquette among the visitors, but it can't be ignored, but while pulling her own little witch girl in case she suddenly drives away, she is worried about the food reserves in the kitchen, which is indeed worrying.

As for the one in front of him, the pharmacist who brought the invitation card with "Penglai Mountain Huiye" written on it, Bayi Yonglin, also sent holiday gifts and greetings.

"Her Royal Highness the princess was unwell and didn't want to be rude, so she sent her concubine here. ”

That's what he said, probably because he expected that he couldn't complain, Mo Ming thought to himself, it was impossible for him to send an invitation to Penglai Mountain Huiye, because he didn't have such a memory. But after all, the visitor is a guest, and no matter how the invitation came, he can't help but entertain it.

However, the gift sent was very amazing, and it was said that it could prolong life, which made Mo Ming even more unable to refuse.

"Mr. Mo Ming, can you please help me with something?"

"What?"

"Please help Her Royal Highness the princess of my family ask for a signature, and the concubine will transfer it to Her Royal Highness the princess, which can be regarded as a gift to compensate for the regret of the Royal Highness who was unable to come. ”

"This ...... It's not a big deal...... What do you ask for?"

"Let's get married. ”

Mo Ming was speechless.

Saying that, the two walked to the side of the money box, Mo Ming picked up the lottery box, but was stopped by Bayi Yonglin.

"It's not that I can't understand your good intentions, but please put all the signatures back into it, no matter the bad luck, as long as it is the one you ask for, Your Highness must be willing to accept it. ”

Mo Ming opened his mouth and was speechless again.

How did she know? It was a little embarrassing to be said directly.

But since it has been said so, it can only be done.

Mo Ming sought for Penglai Mountain Huiye - the thirty-sixth sign of the end of the auspicious.

However, it would be a little bad to think that I would ask for a signature for Penglai Mountain Huiye alone. After thinking about it, he didn't wait for Bayi Yonglin to stop him, and by the way, he casually asked for a sign for Bayi Yonglin, but fortunately it wasn't too bad - the thirty-eighth sign was half auspicious.

By the way, Alice seems to have been instigated by Xiao Ling and Ah Qiu, and she also came over to draw a lot-sixty-four, I don't know what to ask for, I saw her walk back dejectedly.

"Huh, why did you ask for a sign for the concubine?"

"Since you can use this thing as a gift, then of course the more the merrier, the sign you asked for is "fortune", speaking of which," Mo Mingtian scratched his head shamelessly, "From the standpoint of a god, is it valid to draw a part of the lottery like before?"

"The gods usually don't intervene in the fortune of human beings, and what they can get depends on their own fortune, and if their luck is not bad, even if they take out the worse ones, it won't be a big deal. ”

Got an ambiguous answer.

"It doesn't matter if it's bad, what matters is the content of the release, if it's your request, the princess will be happy to accept it. ”

"In other words, my own situation has not changed, if you draw the big culprit, it means that there will be a certain time to run, and if you draw the big luck, it means that you can't make better progress?"

"Exactly. ”

After thinking about it, Mo Ming finally asked.

"Did you just say Kaguya is unwell and sick?"

Bayi Yonglin smiled: "If you mind, why don't you go and visit the patient?"

"This ...... I've been busy lately. ”

"Yes, let's stay for the next day. ”

......

......

In the gloomy hall without gloriousness, the silence was broken by the sound of abrupt footsteps. Hades Sijiyingji raised his head slightly and followed the footsteps.

Approaching from the end of the corridor, he gradually realized that the true appearance of the black shadow was not a subordinate in his imagination.

The unexpected guest is not a spirit, and it is clearly not the soul of the dead who has crossed the other side.

As for her identity, it was already clear the moment she came out of the darkness.

"It's been a long time since I saw His Royal Highness on a moonlit night. The short Hades only said in a calm tone, and continued to look down at her copy, not showing the respectful attitude that should be seen in her words.

"Penglai Mountain Kaguya. ”

"So, this time, on behalf of Lord Sikan, I came to see the human soul who was entrusted to the underworld more than a month ago?"

"Although Yonglin has always been doing it, he will have to come sooner or later. ”

"In that case, please come with me. ”

......

......

The house behind the Hades palace does have a bit of a netherworld feeling.

Hades Shikieihime, who could have sent his subordinates to lead the way, somehow walked in front without saying a word.

Sure enough, when he walked around a corner, he suddenly spoke.

"Yue Yuzun, although there is no room for me to criticize in terms of identity, there is a saying......"

"It's Penglai Mountain Kaguya. ”

"Why are you so attached to this?"

"Communication is based on mutual respect. ”

"I'm sorry, but I was rude, Lord Kaguya, Penglai Mountain. ”

A long corridor straight and pitch black in front of him, not like there would be a fork in the road, Shikihime's pace slowed down, and he nodded to Kaguyahime beside him in apology.

"All this time, all the souls that have been contained here have been reincarnated, and there is no precedent for returning them to the human world......

"Ah, complaining to Yonglin has no effect, so do you plan to persuade yourself?"

"Your Highness, everything has rules before it becomes a circle, once an exception is made......"

"It's useless for you to talk about this kind of thing, this is the contract signed by Yonglin and Hekatia, and the private can't say anything at all. ”

"Your Highness, you and I know very well that as long as you are willing to come forward, contracts and the like are naturally not to be worried. ”

"It's impossible, although this matter was Yonglin's insistence at the beginning, but there is no reason to hinder her at all. ”

"Your Highness, you ......"

"How far is it? ”

"It's almost there. ”

......

......

Slowly paced into the hut.

The long-haired woman in the witch costume was lying on the table boredly picking up the tip of her pen, and when she heard the sound, she raised her head and saw the Penglai Mountain Kaguya, who was also looking here.

I couldn't help but let out admiration.

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Hello, my private name is Penglai Mountain Huiye. ”

"Oh, there, I can't remember it, but my name seems to be ...... "Anyway, you're so good-looking, and your clothes are good-looking." ”

"Thank you. ”

“...... Hmm," the girl named Tsukielin was dissatisfied, "Shouldn't you praise the other party as a return gift at this time, even if it's out of politeness......

"Compliment?" Kaguya tilted her head, "I'm sorry, it's a common fact in private eyes......" Seeing the girl's pursed mouth, Kaguya couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, "Well, your appearance is also very beautiful, and it can be regarded as one of the most beautiful among humans." ”

So Kaguyahime's arrogance was forgiven by the girl.

"So, does Shiki-sama Yinghime have something to do with me?"

Kaguya shook his head, "I'm not from here. ”

"Huh......? Are you with the big gray-haired big sister you used to be? Or are you ...... You were my friend when I was alive...... Or something?"

Kaguya thought for a moment and replied, "If you insist on saying it, it is probably the culprit who indirectly killed you?"

“...... What?"

"However, it was not intentional, and it was only after you died that I learned of your existence. ”

“...... Oh. ”

"Aren't you angry?"

"It's useless to be angry, right? You said it wasn't intentional...... "She looked unmotivated and leaned back on the table, as if what she heard had nothing to do with her.

"Although I've heard Yonglin say it before, let's confirm it again, don't you remember anything about the things in the human world?"

"This ...... I can't be blamed for this, there is nothing that the soul of the Santu River does not forget. ”

"Really......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, there's a letter from a friend of yours who was alive. ”

Penglai Mountain Huiye stretched out her palm and spread it upward, and a small pile of black ash appeared in the air, suddenly bathed in the brilliance and regained its previous appearance before burning, and a brand new letter appeared in her palm and was handed to Yin Yuelin.

"Oh oh!" Yin Yuelin's eyes lit up, "It's amazing, is this also a yin-yang technique?"

Penglai Shan Huiye glanced at the bamboo slips and books on the table in front of Xian Yuelin, and sighed, "Aren't you studying?"

"Hmm...... I—I'm still a beginner, so I don't know anything!" he said, taking the letter from Kaguya and unpacking it.

"Passing through the Santu River will only discard the memory, not the knowledge, so don't be presumptuous...... Because you were half an onmyoji when you were alive. ”

"Eh, didn't you say that I used to be a demon slayer?"

"Yin and Yang magic is used in a thousand ways, and it is just a corner of the demon extermination. ”

Seeing that Kazuki Lin spread out the letter and read it, Kaguya stopped talking, and only sat down on the tatami mat next to him, and closed and meditated.

Five minutes later, when I opened my eyes, I saw that Yan Yuelin's brows were furrowed, and he looked at the letter without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, Penglai Mountain Kaguya took out the game handheld.

Immediately after, Yin Yuelin spoke.

"But I can't read. ”

The handheld smashed into the head.

......

......

"Why, why!" Yan Yuelin rubbed her red forehead, "It's not fair! Why is the soul also smashed by the real thing?!"

Penglai Shan Hui Ye walked over with an expressionless face, picked up the handheld and put it away: "I heard Yonglin say that your practice is good, but now it seems that it is still far behind." ”

"I'm not to blame for this!"

"I'm curious, how do you understand these Yin-Yang classics if you can't read?" Kaguya casually picked up a booklet with "The General Dictionary of Yin-Yang Laws" written on the cover and flipped it up, only to find that most of it was pictures, and all the parts that used spells were marked with katakana.

Kaguya couldn't help but hold her forehead, in a sense, it was really hard for Yonglin to find these things......

"While it is true that the picture scrolls are easy to understand, there are also spells in the Yin-Yang Technique that can make the caster understand the language of the world, and it is obviously easier to use here. ”

"Huh, is there anything else that is so handy?"

"Yin-Yang is created by human beings, and what they do is to exercise the power of the gods with human bodies, if they can't achieve the purpose of facilitating their own bodies, naturally there is no meaning in existing. ”

"That's what I said, but if everyone can use it so easily, the power of the gods is too worthless, right?"

"That's right, the conditions for the use of Yin-Yang are very harsh, and there is no one in ten thousand who has this qualification," Kaguya looked at the girl's clothes and sighed, "So, humans have witches again." ”

"Huh?"

"The shrine maiden serves the gods with human resources and exercises the power of the gods by relying on them, which makes it possible for those who do not have the qualifications of yin and yang magic among human beings to exercise their divine powers. ”

"Oh, I've heard of this, there's a shrine maiden named Hakurei in Gensokyo, right?"

Kaguya was stunned, then relieved. "There is a shrine maiden named Hakurei in Gensokyo" can still be remembered today, and I am afraid that it was preserved by the girl as knowledge rather than memory.

However, Penglai Mountain Kaguya shook his head.

"Hakurei's shrine maiden is completely different, and I don't plan to talk about this now. ”

“...... But I also said before that I was a demon slayer when I was alive, which means that I also have the talent to exercise yin and yang spells?"

Hearing this, Kaguya couldn't help but laugh and said, "Wrong." On the contrary, the yin and yang spells used to eliminate demons are just the most superficial layer. ”

"Huh?!"

"For example, the spell of exterminating demons is like the physique of a human being, even if a person with a very poor physique can always become strong and healthy if he can practice martial arts for decades, and a higher-level spell, like a human being, but he has created a rocket that can land on the moon, which is not something that can be done with perseverance and determination, and if there is no talent, it cannot be achieved in any way...... This is the difference between low-level and high-level yin-yang techniques. ”

"Goo...... "Yin Yuelin puffed out his mouth again, "Are there any particularly high-level Yin-Yang Techniques that ordinary people can't learn at all?"

"Yes, Taishan Mansion Jun sacrifice...... Very high-level, it is a top-notch existence in the Yin-Yang Technique, and the price of using this technique is your own life. ”

"What? Anything else?"

"Yes, there is a ......" Kaguya couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Instead of being so ambitious, how about learning hiragana first?"

"Uh, that...... It's too hard to remember. ”

......

......

Penglai Mountain Huiye originally planned to test the girl's cultivation progress, but she didn't expect it to be too far behind, making her speechless for a while.

However, Yin Yuelin was really bored after staying in the Hades Palace for a long time, and there was a chat partner who couldn't stop asking questions.

"Now, Kaguya, you're from Gensokyo, right?

Kaguya thought for a moment and replied, "A little." ”

"Do you have any friends from my time?"

Pointing to the letter on the table, he said, "This is the one who wrote to you." ”

"Hmm, do I have a good relationship with her?"

"You died to help her. ”

“...... Wow!" Tsune-lin was startled.

"Girls should be elegant. ”

"This is the best news I've heard in this month!"

"Speaking of which, didn't you say that I was killed indirectly by you, why did you help my friend, and what happened?"

"It's a long story. ”

"Speaking of which, I can't see your lifespan, aren't you human?"

"It's not surprising that in Gensokyo, the identity is not human. This must have become knowledge, and it should be well preserved in the mind of Yin Yuelin.

"However, why do you study yin-yang art when you are obviously not human? Isn't this a spell that only humans can use?"

"If you want to say why...... Kaguya tilted her head, "It's like humans have seen ants build a grandiose-looking nest, so it's normal to go out of curiosity to find out more about it, right?"

"What arrogant remarks!"

"It is indeed very arrogant, and it is admirable that human beings have gradually cultivated abilities that do not belong to them through hard work and their own talents, compared to the gods who were born with strength. ”

“...... Speaking of which, are Kaguya-chan gods and goddess?"

"Why do you think so? ”

"Because even youkai have a lifespan, right? So far, I can't see the only one who has a lifespan, and that is the little Hades here, who is also a god. ”

"Common sense: The immortal who eats Penglai medicine can't see the lifespan. ”

"Is that so?"

"What's more, the abilities associated with Destiny are highly inaccurate and even changeable...... Don't rely too much on your own abilities, or you'll suffer a lot. ”

"I've heard that a lot of big people sometimes don't bother to lie, but they don't want to tell the truth, so they often change the subject. ”

"Huh?"

"So, Kaguya-chan, aren't you a god?"

"Not anymore. ”

"So it used to be?"

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. ”

"What's this?"

"The poetry of humanity. ”

"What's the point?"

"It's used to change the subject. ”

"Huh—" Tsune-lin lengthened her voice to show displeasure, and asked, "Can I ask your name? ”

"That kind of thing is useless after giving up the status of a god. ”

"No, it's just a name, if it's a very powerful god, it won't hinder you from giving up the name, right?"

"That's not the case," Kaguya couldn't help but shake her head, "It's a shame that you're studying yin-yang spells to say such foolish things. ”

"How?"

"I asked you privately, what is the core of Yin-Yang Technique?"

“...... Curse?"

"So, what is a spell?"

"This, this...... Even if you ask, I'll ......."

"The mantra, in short, is bondage. And the name is a thing that binds the fundamental shape of things. Suppose there is something in the world that cannot be named, then it is nothing, or it can be attributed to chaos, it is meaningless. ”

"I don't really understand. ”

"Take your name "冴月麟" as an example, you are a person who is bound by the curse of "冴月麟", and today's selfishness is a person who is bound by the curse of "Penglai Mountain Kaguya". ”

"In other words, if I don't have a name, it means that my existence is gone?"

"No, you're still there, it's just that the Moon Rim is gone. ”

"Is this trying to persuade me not to choose reincarnation?"

"Selfishness is just saying a fact, and it doesn't hurt if you understand it. ”

"So, so Kaguya-chan is a god?"

The topic went around and went back.

"Is there any reason why you have to dwell on this?"

"Yes, isn't it possible to make a contract with a god if Kaguya-chan is a god, wouldn't I be able to use my status as a shrine maiden to obtain the power of a god from you, even if my own talent for yin and yang is very ordinary?"

Penglai Mountain Kaguya couldn't help but fall into deep thought, to some extent, this girl is really not simple.

"First of all, it's a troublesome thing to serve the gods as a shrine maiden and get a reliance instead of making a contract......

"Eh, but Kaguya-chan, as the culprit who killed me indirectly, won't be able to bear to embarrass me, right?"

Kaguya rubbed the corners of his eyebrows: "Besides, you have a good talent yourself, so you don't need to rely on this method to ...... at all."

"But it's hard, isn't it? Even if you have talent, you have to work hard to make progress in your cultivation, and that's the real trouble, and there's no better way to be directly empowered by the gods. ”

Kaguya sighed.

"I heard Yonglin say that you have been considering whether to return to the human realm before, but you have not given an answer, and now, since you have expressed your desire to receive the blessings of the gods as a shrine maiden, it means that you have made up your mind?"

"No, but it's not too late to get all the benefits you can get before you think about whether to be reincarnated or return to the human world......

Penglai Mountain Kazuya fell into contemplation again, and sure enough, this girl is not as simple as it seems.

"Well, there's something that seems to have to be told to you in advance. ”

"What?"

"Just now you asked about your friends in the human realm. ”

"yes, is there anyone else?"

"There's a man you're unrequited about. ”

“...... Wow. ”

"Then ......," Penglai Shan Kaguya spread out his palm, showing a ring inlaid with delicate cuts, "This is a private item he has given to him, and you must know the meaning of it." ”

“......”

"So, if you want to get the power of the gods from Tsuki, you have to serve Shin as a shrine maiden, even if it's a nominal subordination, doesn't that matter?"

"Let me refuse!" the girl said righteously.

......

......

A moment of silence ensued.

Although he found a reason to refuse the girl's request, he also put himself in an awkward position.

Sure enough, it's better for Yonglin to handle this side of the matter in the future.

When he turned to leave, the girl behind him spoke.

"So, can you please take me to the human world?"

Kaguya turned.

"It's not that I decided to return to the human realm, after all, I don't have any relatives left in the world, although I have a friend, but she doesn't seem to be human, and my words, even if she is resurrected, will definitely die again, and it will only cause trouble for her. I...... I just want to go to the human world and think, maybe I can make up my mind to make a choice. ”

Kaguya thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure? Tonight is the New Year's Festival in the human world, although it is a rare and lively season, but as a helpless person, you will only feel more alone, and it will not leave you any pleasant memories." ”

“...... Even so, I wanted to go out and have a look. ”

"Oh, do you want to meet your friend, or do you want to meet the man I just mentioned?"

“...... I do not know. ”

"So, let's go. ”

"Okay. ”
