I don't know how many times

Kenya sighed so much about the wonder of fate.

Ever since I came to Gensokyo, I have found that the wonderful phenomena in this world are simply endless.

At the end of the day, ask why

，

Alice is also a neighbor of this forest. Marisa has been in contact with her, and unlike Marisa, who claims to be a magician even though she is a human, Alice is a real magician. If it's not good, it's closer to the demon race...... And is the kind of life that only focuses on the puppeteer.

The enemies who were still confronting each other a second ago were friends of their own life-saving benefactors......

In case it's a second late......

At this time, Jian Ya was constantly blaming himself and remorseful in his heart.

…… Sure enough, I still haven't practiced enough

Alice on the side repeatedly looked at the Shanghai doll she liked very much, who had been accidentally injured by Kenya before. He shook his head quietly.

"It doesn't matter. If you sew it, it will return to normal. Don't feel too guilty, I'm a little more curious about the ins and outs of you and Marisa."

Then Kenya briefly told the story of "losing his memory, wandering to Gensokyo, and meeting Marisa and Rumia after being attacked by youkai."

"That's about it, right?"

"Are you an outsider?"

Alice also feels strange, and every time people see the outside world, they always have a strange feeling.

There are also outsiders who have survived and returned to their original world through Hakurei Shrine, and there are also outsiders who have finally settled in the human world.

However, most of them are more likely to be eaten by youkai on the way to the shrine......

“…… This kind of strange thing happened to me...... Yes...... Monster's Nest. ”

Alice covered her mouth and whispered, motioning for Kenya to look in the direction of her finger

Kenya looked there.

In the quiet forest there is a hill, a cave in the belly of the mountain...... It's like the feeling of a huge monster opening its bloody mouth, and the air around it is full of strange feelings.

One feeling that this must be a monster's lair.

And there are some mushrooms growing in the shadow near the entrance to the cave.

The width of the darkness near the same mouth is about the extent of two or three people side by side.

It's a monster's lair, and if it's an ordinary person, you'll be torn into pieces of flesh in an instant by a monster in an invisible place.

And it has a strong demonic aura...... Or miasma?

Kenya narrowed his eyes, feeling the atmosphere in the air.

He asked Alice without looking back

"What now?"

"At least you have to know the other party's information first...... How many youkai are there?"

"I don't know, I can't see it from the outside. ”

"Anyway, you have to know... The number of the other party...... Hey, what are you doing!?"

"There are a few, just each one of the mushrooms. I'll go take a look first, and if something happens, it's not too late for you to answer me."

"Wait, I should use my puppet to spy on me at this time!? ”

Jian Ya looked up and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this.

The doll that Alice came out with this time is a completely different type from Shanghai.

Similar on the outside, but different on the inside.

I don't know why, Kenya can see this feeling at a glance.

Alice slowly released the doll, floated near the hole entrance, and slowly flew inward, like fishing.

Hoping to attract youkai - that's Alice's idea

…… What a handy thing, the magician—the sigh of the sword

After sighing, Kenya immediately concentrated, hid his breath, and hid in the visual corner of the cave entrance, ready to standby.

Alice silently felt the message coming from the doll.

…… XVIII.19...... Twenty is okay, how can there be so many youkai in that narrow cave?

Just as Alice was thinking, suddenly a group of youkai couldn't hold it anymore and pounced on the puppet together.

…… Cut! The oil is careless!

Alice quickly moved the doll in her corner to the air, and the youkai who had lost their prey looked around and panicked towards the cave.

In just a moment, he was exposed to the sun.

Golden opportunity!

Kenya seized the moment

Kick your foot hard, and with the help of the force from the earth, draw the sword through the waist and back.

The force travels through the shoulders to the wrists and eventually through the body.

Pierce forward.

Most of the monsters reacted, and their attention was focused on the sword.

And at this very moment.

With just one look, Kenya's long sword had already stabbed a wolf demon in the eye.

On the other hand, Alice immediately calmly mobilized countless baby soldiers who looked like herself.

The puppets each held swords, axes, guns and other weapons, and quickly surrounded the monsters without leaks.

Alice was slightly distressed

"It's too careless, I have to practice well when I have time. ”

I was ambitious enough to solve this matter alone.

But now......

“…… There's no time to blame yourself."

That's it

So Alice's mission now is to mercilessly end the youkai that Kenya has no scruples about in such a chaotic situation.

Soon, the forest floor was gradually stained with blood.

“…… That being said"

Alice, who was calmly observing the battle like this, realized that her hands began to tremble slightly.

He ...... Is it really human?"

That kind of crazy youkai is nothing to the famous shrine maidens in Gensokyo, but it's a different matter for the weak and fragile humans.

In the short history of Gensokyo, there has never been such a thing, just fighting more than twenty youkai in the fragile flesh of humans.

Human strength is endless, and no matter how hard you try, youkai are still vulnerable. If you don't give up some of your human beings in a sense, you can't resist youkai.

Although judging from Kenya's performance, he himself does not have any special abilities, and is an ordinary human.

…… In addition to possessing sword skills that humans can't reach.

Obviously, the touch of the corpse was coming from the ground under his feet, but a happy smile appeared on his face.

This man ...... It's like enjoying the fight.

“…… I'm going to have to look into it."

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

The toenails and teeth of the youkai are all dodging the sharp sword of the sword.

Originally, it was an unrivaled swordsmanship, and if you were timid, you wouldn't be able to get close.

The moment of regression means death.

Even if it's just for a second......

It's also a second-to-win victory!

"Youkai......"

It seems to sigh something.

Among the corpses covered in blood, there was only the voice of Kenya,

After returning the sword to the sheath, he turned around to find Alice suddenly leaning her face up

"Do you need a lamp......?"

"Uhh......h

Kenya found that the distance between him and Alice's face was only two or three centimeters.

You can smell the girl's body fragrance very clearly, and if you look at Alice up close, you can find that her appearance is indeed very beautiful.

It's a completely different type from Marisa.

Jian Zai's heart thought of it.

Marisa's optimistic and positive attitude towards life is compared to the sun of enthusiasm.

Then Alice is as virtuous and gentle as the moon.

…… I prefer the latter.

"Well...... Leave it to me, then. ”

Alice beckoned, and the dolls in the air, the dolls with oil lamps in their hands, slowly floated over.

Kenya carefully held the lamp, and then said thank you to the doll.

"Poof!"

“？”

For some reason, Alice suddenly laughed.

"Don't care, don't care, you're such a rigid person. Let's go."

"Hmm...... Okay"

Kenya scratched his head, unaware of it.

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

With the oil lamp in his hand, there was a kind of bright light, the road was clearly visible, and Kenya entered the cave and came back without hesitation.

Also holding a suspicious green mushroom in his hand.

Suddenly, Kenya looked up, looking for something.

At the same time, the sky above the forest shook noisily, and Marisa on the broom slowly lowered to the ground.

"Oh, Marisa. What's wrong with you, so flustered, did you forget something!"

"Honestly...... Very important things, forgotten. Ahh

Marisa's gaze looks away from Alice and she finds Kenya who has just come out of the cave.

She dropped her broomstick and ran quickly, clenching her fists and swinging them down at his chest.

Several times she slammed her trembling hand hard into Kenya's chest, and a trembling sound came out of her throat.

"You bastards!! What does a person do in such a dangerous place?!! You stupid!

Kenya smiled bitterly, completely unable to cope with the situation, and looked at Alice on the side for help.

Alice winked mischievously, signaling that she couldn't help.

What kind of expression should I make at this time......

"yes, I'm sorry, it's me! Look, what do you want?"

Kenya handed the mushroom over, and Marisa looked at the mushroom, took it into her arms, and turned her head away.

"I ...... No matter how good the swordsmanship is, but a person comes to the dangerous woods...... Very worrying"

"Understood. There are a lot of words of gratitude to Marisa, but it's not good to stay in the forest. Shall we go home now?"

Alice, the puppet envoy, floated down from the trunk of the tree with ease.

"Is it finally over?"

"Oh, Alice?"

"I heard about it from him...... It's been a long time since I've seen Marisa coquettish, or is it the attitude that a human should have?"

"I, he's my friend, isn't he? Of course Kenya needs help when he first comes to Gensokyo. ”

"Commendable warm-heartedness. Forget it, if it were me, you wouldn't be so warm-hearted. ”

"It's you...... I don't think you've been doing it for a long time, it's tickling, right? ”

Suddenly, Kenya realized-

He's caught between two magicians.

From the only remaining common sense in memory.

This is often referred to as ......

“…… Shura field?"
