After a scarlet belly, the witch's temperament, Kenya put his mind back on track.

The appearance can be strange no matter how strange it is. If she was a shrine maiden, she might know who she was, and this sense of anticipation still lingered in Kenya's heart.

His anxiousness made him even more eager to get closer, and perhaps hearing Kenya's footsteps, Hakurei Reimu stopped the swinging broom in his hand and turned to face him.

He showed a look of surprise and welcome, probably misunderstood as a guest visiting the shrine.

Reimu smiled and welcomed Jian Ya with a smile......

"Ah, welcome. Visiting Hakurei Shrine is really commendable. If you put the incense money in the money box over there, the wish will be multiplied...... Ah, that's it, you're not here to worship."

Reimu quickly put away his smile, but the wrinkles between his brows grew deeper and deeper, frowning, observing Kenya's movements.

"Are you His Highness Hakurei Reimu?"

"I heard ......"

"I'm a sword. I've wanted to meet you for a while now. I brought a letter of introduction from Marisa Kiriyu"

Pulling Marisa's letter from her bosom, she reached out to accept it impatiently and rudely tore open the envelope, reading it as if no one was around.

I see, it's the same as Marisa said, it's a character that's really hard to please.

Where did the big smile disappear?

She's a person who creates an unhappy atmosphere in the blink of an eye, and she's really worried that she'll be angry and ruin the letter of introduction.

Kenya once again scarlet belly witch of the world is declining.

"The general situation is understood. Anyway, come along. More on the intricacies later. ”

A nasty premonition flashed through my mind.

Crumpled up the letter of introduction Marisa gave her, put it in her arms, and carried Kenya into the interior of the house as she continued through the entrance behind the clearing.

Unlike Marisa's house, which is a Western-style house, it is an all-tatami room, and the interior is filled with the unique aroma of hay, which makes the nose feel a sense of enjoyment.

Relative to the kneeling in the living room in the sword and reimu .......

Daoya, who was silent and eagerly awaited Reimu's words, began to feel a little anxious and dissatisfied.

The right hand kept fiddling with the pattern of the scabbard, but there was something faintly muttering in his mouth, as if he felt the vague resentment of the sword, and Reimu closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

“…… Something you're looking forward to".

"What?"

"Truly, I am able to connect here and outside the world. But not yet. If you open it casually, it will be eroded by the outside world. ”

"In other words, I can't go back to the world I was...... Is it?"

"To put it bluntly. Originally, the humans from the outside world came to Gensokyo, which was itself anomalous. And there are no humans who have been eaten by youkai or anything, and you can count them on one hand. Even if they survived, the guys gave up on leaving and chose to settle here. ”

Reimu didn't answer Kenya's question directly, but expressed himself in a very tactful way.

Suddenly, the fiery sense of anticipation in Kenya's heart cooled suddenly, and gradually, he began to have doubts about the original world itself.

【…… Where the hell did you come from......].

Reimu continued

"I won't say anything comforting.

So I can tell you honestly.

The outside world, maybe the world you don't know.

But now there are no swordsmen. Swords were also abolished. ”

"Those words are true...... Who the hell am I?

"Why can't I remember anything!"

"Loud scolding will not restore the memory. Wouldn't it be easy to just throw away all the memories of the past and the past if they didn't exist? Just thinking about troublesome things will only be troublesome. Here, too, such a guy is quite a troublesome thing"

"What's going on?"

"You've heard about it, right?

Gensokyo is a paradise for the forsaken in the outside world.

It's as simple as that.

If you speculate like this.

You are also a forgotten existence in the outside world. ”

Such a merciless sentence caused the sound of Kenya being bounced off in his mind.

The clenched fist trembled firmly, and he hung his head and clenched his teeth.

[The nasty foretaste has been fulfilled.] 】

Looking at the frustrated Kenya, Reimu didn't say any words of comfort.

At this time, for Kenya, any kind of gentle words are superfluous.

Saying some clumsy comforts casually is only adding to the annoyance.

After a long silence, Kenya, who raised his face, stopped taking a deep breath.

"In that case, I can't help it, thank you.

But is there any way to find my previous memories?"

"I don't know.

What you are looking for is your freedom, though. Of course there is no protection or anything like that, but ......"

"Try what you can do!"

"I didn't think you gave up yet. If it were me, I would have given up on myself. ”

"It's not that I'm not discouraged.

I'm just quite patient now. Quite patient. I'm looking forward to it, and I'm struggling in my heart. But, well, since Reimu said so, there is nothing she can do. If you can't do anything about returning to the original world, you have to at least find your own memories, and Reimu doesn't know my words. I can't just bother you. Memories are something you look for."

"Say it in advance, the spirit is worthy of praise, but there is no guarantee found?"

"If you can't find it, you'll look for it. Until then, if you don't have good food, clothing, shelter and transportation, you can't do it. You can never keep bothering others about your own affairs."

"A rare upright young man. Well, just try your best. Today is a special treat, it's not early, so let's let you stay here for one night."

"Is it okay?"

"But work hard and be self-reliant. ”

"Of course. If you can do anything I can, please tell me whatever I want. Now I don't want to think about anything."

[I don't want to think about anything, I don't need to think about anything, now I just need to go straight and move forward]
