There was a terrifying aura colliding between the two magicians, as if they were condensed into a solid collision.

Probably an illusion, I even saw a spark appear where the two of them crossed their eyes.

Marisa, even Alice is infected............ It's like two small children who don't grow up.

Kenya watched the two magicians compete with each other with a wry smile, and tried his best to think about how to resolve this unnecessary conflict.

…… There is no way to drag it out like this, we have to find a way to persuade them.

So......

"That doll ---- Alice still needs to be repaired, wouldn't it be better to go back sooner?"

Kenya stretched out his hands and grabbed the two of them, trying to stop the situation from getting worse.

As if sensing Kenya's previous thoughts, Marisa turned her hand and rubbed Kenya's shoulder again.

The body, which was already difficult to understand, suddenly began to tremble.

"Oh, you were thinking about some rudeness, right?"

The warm breath passed by his ears, and although it was such a charming scene, Kenya didn't feel the slightest sense of enjoyment now.

His body was warning, sweat was pouring into his forehead, and Kenya could already feel something rubbing against his waist.

The very ** picture appeared in the forest, a beautiful blonde girl leaning on the black-haired handsome boy sadly, maybe it seems to others to be a harmonious picture.

But Kenya doesn't think so.

If you want to ask why.

"Magic!!Marisa!, if I twist like this, I'm going to lose a piece of flesh from my waist!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you live in my house, and it doesn't matter if you stay a few more days. ”

"How is this!!!!!! it's falling!

"Rest assured, no one will die because of this kind of thing!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

It seems that I think it's ridiculous, so Alice on the side also came over to join in the fun.

Torture the sword together.

Then, Kenya's pain and screams were instantly amplified by a factor of two.

The youkai in the forest, who were still sleeping and waiting for the lost humans, blinked, and then continued to sleep quietly......

================

It's been a long time.

Jian Ya rubbed his already purple waist and thought with a wry smile.

Isn't that what it means that if you don't die, you won't die?

Obviously, after going out, he was unharmed in the face of the attacks of youkai and dolls......

I rubbed the sore area, and the purple area had begun to gradually improve.

…… But at least for half a day.

sighed at the wonder of the body

I silently added a sentence in my heart, never meddle in the affairs between women.

Thankfully, everyone was able to return to Marisa's house safely before dusk.

None of the monsters on the road came to attack them, at most they watched from afar.

Maybe it was scared by the screaming before?

…… That's thanks to Marisa.

Now that warm tea is placed on the table, the three of them are discussing Kenya's future.

For some reason, Marisa can't go directly to the world to make a direct recommendation for Kenya, so she writes a letter of recommendation to teach Kenya, and then just give it to the Hirori shrine maiden.

Alice, on the other hand, added that walking out of the woods leads to a long pastoral path, and at the end of the road is the village of Gensokyo, where ordinary humans live, and there is a road near the village to reach the shrine. The shrine maiden of Hakurei there. It has the ability to make outsiders return to their original world, and it also has the ability to arrange a safe place for outsiders to settle down, and if this generation of Hakurei shrine maidens, it is not surprising that they have the means to restore Kenya's memories or find clues.

"Ah...... Thank you very much, I'm so sorry for being so stupid and worrying you so much. ”

"It's nothing, I just want to help the kind ordinary people. ”

"Yes, yes. Kenya is not a bad person, it seems that he is not an ordinary person?????? No matter, when you settle down, I'll go and play with you!"

"Ah, I'll look forward to it. So, are you going to go to Hakurei Shrine?"

"Wait a minute. It's never too late to set off tomorrow morning, and if you start leaving now, you'll not arrive until the evening, isn't it? Reimu, that guy, slept before midnight. May sickness never gets better. How's Alice?"

"Well, if not your tailoring props. I really want to use his blood to fill the wounds in Shanghai. ”

"That would be worse, okay? So the puppet has been repaired?"

"It doesn't matter, it's very beautifully repaired, and the wound isn't too big, but it's not too hard. ”

"In that case, Kenya will go take a shower first. Then let's have some dinner. Because you didn't have lunch and you're starving. ”

Unlike the tense atmosphere in the forest, the current pace of life is leisurely and free.

Kenya washes away her sweat in hot water, Alice sews Shanghai dolls in the living room, and Marisa mixes potions while she cooks dinner.

Such a calm, harmonious, and gentle atmosphere calmed Kenya's nervous heart.

After taking a shower, the three of them had dinner together.

The topics vary.

Kenya's excellent performance during the day, Marisa and Alice's gossip, some funny jokes, and the table is full of fun.

I always feel that the original world is gradually getting farther and farther away from me......

It's just that if you wait for the result in such an empty space, it will make Kenya feel scared.

――When you lose your memory, you will feel confused about the future

-- When you get a memory, you will feel nostalgic for the past

After getting the memory, I, Kenya or not, me?

It's a hard question to explain.

There is no answer now

But, first of all, no matter what, this path must be persistently followed.

Deep down, there's a voice saying this to me.

Yang Tian lay on his stomach, looking at the ceiling, quietly remembering all the managers since he was conscious.

No matter how deeply I dissect my memory, I only feel like I am in the middle of a vast ocean, and I can't touch the bottom no matter what.

The only thing that can be recalled clearly is the memory ...... Gensokyo.

It was born out of this world from the beginning

Or is it a combination of wonderful causes?

"Right away...... Will be...... It's a good thing~~"

Marisa has fallen asleep and started talking in her sleep.

When Kenya saw her sleeping posture, the melancholy in his heart was suddenly swept away.

In short, I have to repay Marisa for her kindness no matter what.

What his life is like will have to wait until tomorrow.

Now, it's all about

=========================

"Oops, I thought you were asleep."

Alice, who had finished repairing the Shanghai dolls, walked over in her pajamas with heavy steps and a sleepy face on her face.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a weak limb appeared, and the delicate skin reflected a soft light in the moonlight.

Sensing that he was doing something bad, Kenya scratched his cheek and avoided direct contact with his gaze.

Alice didn't notice this, and sat down next to him with a smile.

"You're such a strange person. ”

"The yokai I met for the first time said the same thing.

"Uh-huh. You know what? Marisa needs that mushroom for today. ”

"No, I don't know. ”

"That's the material for the confession. Although most potions are used for torture, the essence of them is that they can easily recall forgotten memories and true thoughts, so they are probably made for you. Alas, it would take a few days until it was done, and she would have to be busy for a while. ”

"I see. Marisa is human, right?"

"Yes, yes, and it's a curious human being, most of whom are desperately trying to make magicians until they die. At first, I was just very interested in her, but before I knew it, I had become friends. But until now, she was just a half-magician. What about the sword?"

"Me?"

"Can youkai and humans communicate equally?"

"I don't know. Actually, I don't know how to deal with youkai. ”

"What if it's attacked?"

"Kill if you get close. I don't want to do that, I'm supposed to be a pacifist at heart, but at this time, if you eat me, I'll be quite angry."

"Without hesitation. For me too?"

"No, I feel like I'm hallucinating. Like a mirage, do you suspect that the world itself is a dream that you see, the house you live in, the forest that surrounds it, and Marisa and you. This is also my sincere concern. ”

There is some self-deprecation in the words,

Alice, who was originally silent, suddenly reached out and stroked Kenya's cheek.

The soft and delicate hand was heart-pounding, and Jian Ya blushed unconsciously

Seeing this, Alice smiled, and finally stopped her finger and put it in front of Kenya's mouth.

"You're in a fantasy. But beware, this is a different nature, listen carefully, even Gensokyo, it is an existence that the world does not accept. And you are a part of it, and the important thing now is not to doubt itself, but to find your own path. Got it?"

“…… Got it. ”

"Okay, then, I'm a little sleepy. Probably really tired. ”

Alice stood up, yawned, lifted Marisa's covers, and dived in.

When I checked in, I said that I would sleep in the same bed as Marisa.

So don't be too surprised, although the two of them sometimes go toe-to-toe, they are actually very good friends.

It was already night, and the forest was silent.

Of course, Kenya is also tired.

So he closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and turned back to the bunk.

Immediately fell asleep and .......

================================

A dream.

It was dark all around, and when I opened my eyes, I saw only a burst of blue light.

It's just like the color of the sword when it reflects the sun.

The light--

He called

They circled around Kenya's body, carefully approaching Kenya's body,

The closer you go, the more intense the light becomes,

Finally the light sank into his chest.
