In the morning, at the Fujii dessert house in the east of the village, Mo Ming opened the door curtain and walked in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It should be said that it is one of the most popular restaurants in the world, and even if the time is not up for dinner, the popularity is not bad at all.

The crowd was noisy, and it was almost full.

Mo Ming almost laughed.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you have to choose this kind of place as a meeting place, but can that person really adapt to this place?

Without making any rounds around, Mo Ming directly looked at the four corners of the dim sum room.

Not in.

So I went up the small staircase to the second floor, and sure enough, I found the target in the dimest corner.

A gorgeously dressed blonde woman, with an expressionless face, stares at a small doll standing on a table, in a daze.

Probably because of the aura exuded by this girl, as well as the strange scene of eye to eye with the puppet, this table has become the only "private territory" in the dessert house where only one guest sits.

Naturally, this will not be a reason for Mo Ming to be deterred.

"Yo. After saying hello, Mo Ming sat down opposite Alice.

The blonde girl who was staring at the puppet squinted slightly, stared at Mo Ming with a slightly cold look, and then fell back on the puppet.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to choose this kind of place," Mo Ming picked up the menu on the table and looked at it, "I thought that with your personality, you should choose a more deserted store." ”

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Almost every snack on the menu was marked in front of it.

Order so much, are you done eating?

glanced at Alice, still looking at the puppet, but could detect the slight embarrassment in the other party's expression.

"Well, I'll ...... A glass of orange juice," Mo Ming sketched on the menu with different marks, and began to be dissatisfied, "Say something, hey." ”

It's obvious that I was invited.,What's going on with this situation of being placed to play?

"It's about the autumn festival. The girl finally spoke.

"It should be so," Mo Ming nodded, "This autumn festival gimmick is so big, the water is very deep, and you need to be cautious." ”

After a pause, Alice tilted her head: "...... Huh?"

"Hey, isn't it necessary to discuss the specific battle plan of the Autumn Festival?"

“…… No, I mean to say," Alice got up, took a large plate of pastries from the girl at the dessert shop, took a glass of juice from it, and took a sip, "I want to say that I want to be the leader of our group." ”

"You mean...... Captain?" Mo Ming handed the menu she had just sketched to the clerk girl, "Liuli sauce, please add a glass of orange juice to this table." ”

Pointing at Alice, "Count her on the books." ”

"Hmm...... Hey?" The clerk girl who was still in a daze just now looked at Mo Ming for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher Mo Ming!"

Most students are reluctant to meet their teachers during non-class hours, after all, no matter how much they pretend to be natural, the identity of the teacher will always bring psychological pressure to students.

However, Mo Ming is excepted.

Even when this guy was in class, he only left an impression on the students that he was not serious or solemn. It's more like a friend a few years older than a teacher.

The surprise on Ruri Fujii's face gradually turned into a smile.

"Long time no see, Mo Mingjun~ You seem to have disappeared for a long time~"

"Well, after all, I don't live in people. "It's no secret that I'm Reimu's teacher.

"Since Mo Mingjun has come to the store, this glass of orange juice has to be a student, I will invite you~"

"Hey, you're welcome, I was already taken care of by your father last time, and this time it was this one who said that he wanted to treat him, and if the dim sum house was always free, I would never come here again in the future. ”

Oops.

Although he just didn't want to be entertained for free and told the truth, Mo Ming secretly screamed in his heart the moment he led the conversation to Alice.

Sure enough, it was terrible.

The little girl named Ruri Fujii's eyes widened, and she soothed back and forth between herself and Alice.

Eventually, a sentence came out.

"Teacher Mo Ming's date with his girlfriend turned out to be a treat for each other?"

Without looking at the expression of the blonde girl sitting opposite, Mo Ming put her hand on her forehead as a melancholy expression: "Please, a glass of orange juice, thank you." ”

"Oh, oh, oh......" Probably startled by Alice's sudden change in expression, Ruri Fujii seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and quickly slipped away.

In psychology, looking at someone who is embarrassed will not make the situation any better.

Mo Ming didn't look up, and his attention seemed to be attracted by the wooden planks on the ground.

One, two, three...... Thirty interest......

I don't know how long it took, but I figured it out that it should be about the same.

Mo Ming spoke: "Then, if you want to talk about the captain of our group, it is actually ......."

As he spoke, he looked up naturally.

And then I saw it...... Red Alice?

No, if you look closely, it's Alice, whose face is flushed, and the roots of her ears are red.

Is it that embarrassing? How long has it been? Is it endless?

Complaining one by one in her heart, and was about to continue to look down at the bottom plate, Alice suddenly moved.

As if she had just come back to her senses, Alice suddenly said, "No, no, you misunderstood, we don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Hey, that clerk girl has been gone for a long time......"

“…… Huh?"

Really, how long has this guy's head been blank?

I thought I had found a very reliable teammate, but now it seems that the future is still uncertain.

"I said, do you need to care so much about other people's eyes? You are a witch, not an ordinary person. ”

It's even more twisted than ordinary people.

"I want you to take care of it. ”

"Do you want me to do a psychological counseling? For the sake of acquaintances, I can only charge half the price. ”

"I want you to take care of it. ”

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business," Mo Ming took the orange juice handed by Ruri Fujii, stuck out his tongue in the other direction and immediately slipped away, "It doesn't matter who the captain lets be the leader, right? ”

In fact, as long as Mo Ming and Alice have discussed the strategy, it will be fine. It doesn't have to be like any other team that needs a captain to lead the team when there is a disagreement.

"Then I'll do it. Somehow, Alice seems to be a bit obsessed with this.

"It doesn't matter, then you will be in charge," Mo Ming smiled and took a sip of orange juice, "Then, Captain, can we discuss the specific battle plan." ”

Finally, the blonde witch who achieved her goal showed a smile for the first time in a long time.

It seems to be slightly proud.

"Your Excellency, tell me what you think. ”

Mo Ming was stunned.

That Alice is joking?

Is it because of a happy relationship?

"No...... I should be the vice-captain, right? Why was he demoted to a first-class private?"

Stupid.

Looking at the blonde witch's expression of "It's so reasonable, I'm speechless", Mo Ming couldn't help but hold her forehead again.

Sure enough, this guy still has too little communication with people, and his adaptability, communication ability, etc. need to be improved.

But...... If you delay any longer, it's time for lunch.

It seems that Reimu has seen the expression of complaint.

"Captain Alice, don't you think there's no need to prepare in advance?"

“……”

It seems that the other party does think so.

"Well, it looks like I need to tell you more about my side of the information. ”

"First of all, a week ago, when I went to work as a tutor at the Red Devil Pavilion, I heard from the lord there, Remilia Scarlet, that the reason why this human activity attracted so many non-humans seemed to have something to do with one of the prizes. ”

"I heard that it was an artifact that suddenly appeared, it seemed to be a sword, and to be honest, I didn't know much about it, and I didn't have any interest in that sword. ”

"My own plan is that no matter how many places I get, I won't choose any treasures, and the prizes I plan to choose are a year's worth of vegetables and rations, as well as a reward of coins, I wonder if this plan conflicts with Captain Alice?"

When she said the terms "artifact" and "sword" herself, the blonde girl frowned, and it didn't seem to be the first time she had heard of it.

After a moment's deliberation, Alice spoke.

"I don't have any special prizes, so let's do as you wish, Your Excellency Private of the First Class. ”

It seems that he has confirmed the title of first-class soldier.

It's just that the other party, as a witch, doesn't even need those unusual prizes?

"I would like to bring myself and those two cute little goblins to pay my heartfelt respect to the captain's bearing and high spirits. ”

"Well, that's nothing. ”

Hey, can the smug expression not be so obvious?Mo Ming scratched his head.

"May I take the liberty of asking, since the captain doesn't want the prize, what is the purpose of participating in this festival?"

“…… Because...... Bored?"

Also, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like someone who would come to such a troublesome event just because you're bored......

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Ming asked.

"For glory...... Or what, to whom...... Or something?"

All I can think of is for some intangibles.

Sure enough, the other party's expression changed.

"Just, let's take it as it is. Alice turned her face away.

Well, that's how it goes. I see.

What this witch who is not good at worldly things wants to do even if she feels very embarrassed should be a certain spiritual pursuit, probably to prove something.

It's just that...... It's just a game, is it necessary to be so serious?

Of course, I don't have a position to think about these issues.

Looking at it from the side, Alice is also an out-and-out beauty.

I don't know if the other party has this realization.

Alice was looking at the floor in distraction, while Mo Ming leaned back on the cushion of the chair, slowly shaking the orange juice in the glass.

To be honest, being said to be a couple or something, Mo Ming himself doesn't mind. To be honest, after being single for so long, it is impossible to say that you have never had the intention of falling in love.

It's just that I know my own affairs, and I understand that my personality is not suitable for falling in love. Although I'm already trying to correct my previous habits and try to get along with girls normally, how much can I really do?

Speaking of which, Reimu's side ......

When I think of Reimu, I can't help but have a headache.

That child is the closest relative he regards as his own.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most important person in this world.

But she seems to have mistaken some feelings, perhaps taking some feelings that should be called "dependence" and "admiration" as so-called love, and then falling into confusion.

It's just that, due to her identity, she can't enlighten her like she treats others. So things get troublesome.

All she can do is hope that time, a mentor and friend, can make her truly understand.

If you want to talk about your feelings for Reimu......

Actually, it's very complicated.

It's complicated, it's hard to explain, or rather, it's hard to say.

It is probably analogous to the novel "Les Miserables" that I read, the protagonist Valjean has extremely complex feelings for his adopted daughter Cosette.

It's just that, although he has repeatedly insisted that Reimu's feelings for him are not love, when he thinks that Reimu may eventually fall in love with someone else, or even marry someone else, he is also unwilling in his heart.

Even if it's just a possibility, I never want to think about it a little more.

Now that I think about it, the young man named "Barnyard Little Eagle", who has a good impression of Reimu, although he treats him with a normal heart, but I don't know when, the little "hostility" that was deliberately ignored in his heart has become very clear at this moment.

Human beings are incredibly complex creatures.

Although she had studied psychology, Mo Ming never dared to believe that she could see through anyone.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that life full of infinite possibilities is so wonderful.

It's just that at the moment, it's a little sad.

He shook his head and laughed to himself.

Sentimentality? When did you get this kind of problem yourself?

It seems that what has been shaking in the cup is not orange juice, but white wine.

Mo Ming raised his head and drank it all.

Suddenly, the sensitive Alice seemed to sense the strange atmosphere floating in the air, and became a little overwhelmed.

Of course, Mo Ming has not yet fallen to the point where she needs Alice to warm up.

He smiled and put the empty cup back on the table.

"What kind of way does the captain think the so-called 'smart game' is being contested?"

“…… Hey, the ......," Alice said slowly, "in what way...... Isn't it a quiz, and I'm kind of confident in my knowledge ......of magic and common sense."

"It seems that many people, including the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion, think it's a quiz, but I don't think so," he shook his head, "First of all, the organizer of this game is very mysterious. At first, I thought it was Yakumo Murasaki, but through some of her conversations with Reimu, I thought it was very unlikely......"

"Isn't it in the village?"

"Not really, Captain Alice," Mo Ming smiled, "and some words may have been overlooked...... Whether it's in the village or Xianglintang, it is clearly written in the notice that it is the organizer and the sponsor, and the so-called organizer of this game is not mentioned at all. I asked all the undertakers, including the township elder, but no one knew. ”

“……”

"The organizer, it's not difficult to guess, except for the human world, Xianglin Hall, the monster sage, and all the participating monster forces, you can check them one by one. It's just that the "Gensokyo Origin" I've watched before is a very old version.,I don't know anything about the power of Gensokyo in recent years.,It's impossible to investigate further for the time being.。 ”

“……”

"It shouldn't be a small force, at least, for those so-called 'artifacts', they shouldn't care very much, otherwise they won't be used as a gimmick, and they can afford other kinds of prizes, even if they are really rich to a certain extent, they shouldn't be like this...... Therefore, we need to wonder what their motive is for doing so. ”

“……”

"In view of this information, it would be too careless to think that the so-called 'smart game' is just a simple quiz of knowledge. Captain, have you ever heard of the so-called 'game theory'?"

"......" shook his head.

"Well, it's a well-known theory in the outside world. I've been exposed to this kind of theory in many ways because of my work, so I'm very sensitive to the word 'game', so when I first heard about this game, I thought it wasn't as simple as a quiz. ”

“……”

"In my guess, this game may be one of the following situations or a combination of these. 'Non-cooperative game', that is, how to choose decisions to maximize one's benefits in a situation where people's interests are mutually contained, that is, strategy choice game. 'Incomplete information games', i.e., games based on the premise that participants do not have a full understanding of the strategy space and the payouts under the strategy portfolio of all participants. 'Dynamic game', i.e. there is a sequence of actions between participants, and the latter can know the strategy of the first actor. ”

“……”

Looking at the other party's stunned expression, Mo Ming rubbed his temples.

"Well, for example, a well-known game theory model called the prisoner's dilemma. The two conspirators were put in prison and could not communicate with each other. If neither of them denounces the other, each of them will be imprisoned for one year for lack of evidence, if one denounces and the other is silent, the whistleblower will be released immediately for meritorious service, the silent person will be imprisoned for five years for non-cooperation, and if they denounce each other, they will be sentenced to three years in prison for conclusive evidence. Under this model, because the prisoners cannot trust each other, they tend to expose each other rather than remain silent. ”

"......" The blonde witch couldn't help but wipe the sweat drops from her forehead.

Mo Ming continued to talk.

"It's a special kind of game that illustrates why it's difficult to stay together, even when it's good for both parties. This is a typical case illustration of how the best choice for individuals is often not the best choice for groups. So, Captain Alice," Mo Ming smiled charmingly, "the future of our team is in your hands, please make the right choice at the right time and lead us to victory." ”

“………… The right choice?"

Mo Ming nodded: "Choose the right teammates, isolate the right opponents, make trouble at the right time, and keep silent when the situation is not suitable...... Wait, the strategy in the game only depends on the captain. ”

“…… Why do you know so much?"

"Well, because of my work, whether it's information science, economics, or psychology, I use it, right? Although I'm inclined to be pragmatic, I still need to know some so-called theoretical knowledge. ”

There was silence on the other side for about ten breaths.

"That...... Otherwise...... You're going to be the captain, aren't you?", asked tentatively.

Mo Ming almost burst out laughing.

Is this guy really a witch?

What a cute guy who was fooled by himself continuously.

Shaking his head, Mo Ming said solemnly: "Compared to me, Captain Alice is more qualified for this position, and I believe you must have this ability." ”

"But ......"

"It's okay, although I'm a first-class soldier, I can also give advice to the captain, plus ...... Oh no, nothing, believe in yourself, you can. ”

I was going to say that Alice, you seem to be more confused, easy to show weakness, and can often gain the trust of strong teams to become allies, while you can rest assured that you can plan strategies in the shadows.

But considering the self-esteem of the other party, it is better to be careful not to make trouble from the mouth.

Speaking of which, Alice couldn't say anything more.

It's just that the excitement of winning the captaincy has disappeared and has been replaced by a heavy pressure and a sense of mission.

It's just a game, of course, for Mo Ming.

But Alice sees this as an opportunity to get out of the 'communication barrier', and naturally sees a difference in status.

Cleaning up my mood, I found that it was not too early.

"I've got to go, and I've got to go back and make lunch for Reimu. ”

Nodding, Alice got up.

"I can't believe that you have eaten so many desserts, is it because of the relationship of witch......es? What, girls eat sweets and eat a second stomach or something?"

“……”

"But there's so much left, what are you going to do?"

"Pack it and take it home. ”

He replied without hesitation, as if he had intended to do so from the beginning.

In an instant, a series of reasoning was reached in the mind.

The blonde witch in front of me has always wanted to come to this dim sum shop to eat dim sum, but because she is not used to crowded places, she has stopped to stop, and this time she probably took the opportunity to negotiate with herself to summon up the courage to set foot here, and considering that there will not be too many opportunities to come back in the future, so she plans to order all the dim sum she wants to eat at once and bring it back to eat slowly, and maybe even have the intention of learning how to do it.

"Alice-chan ......"

The other side glared fiercely.

"Uh...... Captain Alice," sneered inexplicably, "Is this the first time in this shop?"

“…… So what?"

"No, it's nothing, I just think Your Excellency Captain Alice should like this kind of shop more, it's a bit of a surprise to come here for the first time," Mo Ming beckoned the clerk girl Fujii Ruri to come over and help pack it together, and said with a smile, "It's just right, I'm going to order a water steamed bun to pack and bring back for Reimu to eat." ”

"This kind of place, usually acquaintances come over to chat and have fun, I come here alone or something...... How embarrassing. As he spoke, his voice grew quieter and quieter.

Of course, I also considered pulling Marisa to come, but what ...... Marisa isn't very interested in desserts.

While talking, Ruri Fujii came over with various snack bags and helped pack the snacks together.

Obviously, Alice's demeanor stiffened as soon as the living people approached.

In order to prevent this too lively and open-mouthed student from saying something that stepped on thunder, Mo Ming began to take the initiative to lead the topic in other directions.

"Ruri-chan isn't going to participate in the game festival of the Autumn Festival?"

"Hey~ I want to participate too, but I don't have enough people, teacher, you know, none of the people in our class are reliable. ”

"So you didn't participate?"

"Guess?"

"Well, Barnyard Kitaka, Motoi Kosuzu and you, I guess, the three of you should be a group, and if you are a reserve team member, it may be the barnyard field Aqiu of the head of the family. ”

Stopping what she was doing, Ruri Fujii stayed where she was.

Mo Ming stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the girl's eyes.

"Teacher, you...... How did you guess?"

"Who made my teacher. "A stinky fart.

"It's over, it's over...... I said it all the time......" The clerk girl had a sobbing expression, "If the opponent is a teacher, I won't be able to win......!"

"Look, the game hasn't started yet, let's go to the next city first. Mo Ming smiled smugly at Alice.

Realizing that the other party was deliberately hitting herself, Ruri Fujii immediately put away her gaffe.

Then his eyes widened, he looked at Alice, and then at Mo Ming.

"You two, together?"

Mo Ming nodded.

"Woo, that's good," the lively girl immediately put on a pair of starry eyes, "I also want to participate in the festival with my boyfriend~ Although I haven't found it yet." ”

Mo Ming almost dislocated her jaw.

Is that okay?

This kind of topic can also pull into a minefield, you really have it!

"So, I'm not in that relationship with him!" the shy witch unexpectedly went berserk.

Before Mo Ming came back to his senses, his face was hit hard.

There was a snap, and the four seats were alarmed.

The diners around who didn't know the truth all looked at Mo Ming with contempt. There is such a beautiful girl as a girlfriend and she is half-heartedly stepping on two boats?

"Hug, hug, sorry—" The voice went from loud to low, accompanied by a somewhat flustered footsteps, making it impossible to imagine that the owner of the voice was the elegant witch Alice.

Mo Ming raised her head and found that there was no one on the other side of the seat.

"What's the situation?" Mo Ming looked at Fujii Ruri.

"No, I don't know...... the clerk girl seemed to be taken aback, "probably, she seemed to be startled and ran away?"

“…… I was beaten by her, and then she was startled and ran away on her own?"

Nodding: "Seems so." ”

"Hey......" Mo Ming sighed earnestly, "Although this guy is a witch, he still has a long way to go......"

"Magic ...... Witch?" Ruri Fujii was startled.

"Okay, these are not the point," Mo Ming cleaned up her mood and pointed to the snacks on the table, "The point is, did she pay for these things?"

“…… No. ”

After staying for three seconds, Mo Ming suddenly changed into a bright smile: "Liuli sauce." ”

The clerk girl also showed a business-style smile: "Mo Mingjun." ”

"I just heard that Liuli-chan wants to have a treat?"

"Yes, I asked for that glass of orange juice," the smile was still so sweet, "then please ask Mo Mingjun to pay the price of the remaining thirty-three dim sum." ”

"Ma Dan," Mo Ming finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Fortunately, I came to bring my wallet today." ”

"I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out. "Gensokyo, of course, doesn't have such a thing as a yellow calendar.

"Welcome to Teacher Mo Ming's next visit~" The girl named Ruri Fujii bowed with a smile, as if she was triumphant because she had taken revenge on Mo Ming's previous blow.

……

……

"Well, that's about how it went. ”

While enjoying the sunset, while eating the water steamed buns packed back, the two people sitting in front of the entrance sighed contentedly at the same time.

"In this way, the teacher is not much wrong~"

"yes, I don't think I'm wrong, I'm wronged. ”

"Is the teacher angry?"

"What do you think?"

Reimu shook her head.

"Why don't you think I'm angry?"

"Mikoto's instincts. ”

That's a very poor answer. ”

"Well...... Because you know. Although I can't believe that I know enough about the teacher, I know that the teacher is usually not very angry. ”

"But I didn't get beaten on weekdays. ”

"Teachers don't get angry about things that don't make sense and things they don't care about. ”

"Hey, I've been beaten for nothing, my manly dignity has been provoked, if I don't get angry at all, where will my personality be your teacher?" Mo Ming was indignant.

"So, it's the witch's intuition, the witch's intuition~" Although the teacher is 'dignity' and 'personality', it seems to have risen to an incredible height, but Reimu can feel that the teacher is not angry.

"Well, the triumph of intuition. Mo Ming shrugged.

The two of them picked up their teacups at the same time and took a sip of tea.

"Hmm...... So, what's such a big bag of dim sum?"

Mo Ming nodded, his face twitched, and said, "It's all ordered by that guy." ”

"So much, what are you going to do?"

The Witch Maiden of Bo Li, who was nourished by Mo Ming's craftsmanship, did not show a very greedy look for the dazzling dim sum, but threw out questions lightly.

"What else can I do? Send her over...... Of course, the main thing is that the money has to be recovered. ”

"The teacher is so stingy," Reimu wrinkled her nose, "I don't invite girls to dinner." ”

"Hey~ You can't say that, Xiao Lingmeng," Mo Mingmo rubbed her chin, "This time, she said that she was treated, and it wasn't me who took advantage of her~ Besides, if I buy such a lot of desserts in one go, all the early salary sharing these days will be in vain~"

"Hi Yi ~ Hi ~ " sipping tea leisurely.

"What's going on with that tone of preach? It's really not a good family and I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are~ I'm also the 15-year-old god of Boli Shrine, so I'll do a good job of housework~"

"Hi Yi~Hi~" His eyes wandered around, obviously not listening.

"Well, let's go to the Enchanted Forest tonight, it's over today. ”

After eating and drinking, Mo Ming stood up and packed up the burden with a large amount of snacks.

"Hey, is the teacher going to find Alice tonight?"

"It's okay left and right, just tonight, the dim sum won't taste good if it is left for a long time. ”

"It's very gentle. ”

"Hey, don't say that, I'm going to collect the debt. He touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Teacher, it's not a gentleman's way to visit a lady's house at night. ”

"Where did you learn all this nonsense?" is simply true.

"Can I not let the teacher go?"

"Why?"

"I don't know. ”

"What do you think?"

"So...... At least bring this. ”

Reimu tossed over something familiar.

Mo Ming caught it.

"Yin Yang Jade. ”

"Teachers don't take them with them a lot lately. ”

"Ah, when you go out at night, you should bring it. Mo Ming smiled.

Because there is always a feeling of being watched, I have recently selectively forgotten to go out with Yin Yang Jade. However, when you visit the Enchanted Forest at night, safety is the right thing to do.

"So...... Come back early~"

With his back to Reimeng, Mo Ming waved his hand.

Walked down the steps of the shrine.

Melt into the night.
