"Ahh

In the morning, at the calm dining table, a huge sneeze exploded.

He took the handkerchief handed by Sanae and wiped his nose...... The tip of the nose is already dyed red by cherry blossoms, and there is no appetite at all.

"Uh......h My head hurts......"

"Poof...... That was Mr. Kenya's own doing! Speaking of which, Mr. Nitori also caught a cold. ”

"Of course, if you fall asleep with your belly button exposed in the living room, even a kappa will catch a cold. ”

Sanae, who is worried about Kenya's body to get the medicine, contrasts with Kanako, who is amused to watch him sneeze.

Of course, he won't be angry, Sanae's ability not to be angry is more important than anything else.

If you can smile like this, even if you break one or two fingers, you won't be able to ......

Forget it...... It's going to hurt

Kenya sprinkled the rice with mashed yam and purple potatoes while smiling at Sanae's appearance.

All in all, it's more important than anything that she's not angry.

When you wake up in the morning and meet Sanae in the hallway, what kind of face should you put on to say hello?

Confused by this, Kenya met Sanae and yesterday's unchanged smiling faces

"Good morning"

Say so.

In fact, I am already quite ashamed in my heart.

But still a look that I will never show on my face, so desperately trying Sanae.

Kenya also greeted her with a smile in return.

Well...... Originally, I was going to beg for mercy on the ground on the knees.

Now she doesn't want to talk about it, so forget it.

At this morning's table, in addition to the meals, there was also a mascot of the base camp that prayed for the safety of Kenya.

I'm too lazy to complain about why it's a Q-shaped doll with Kanako's appearance

Stubbornly eating yam puree, purple potato taro and kelp rolls that are about to vomit.

Spare me......

Then, Kenya had never prayed like this, and perhaps never in the future or past, that Sanae would not stew too much lotus root...... It's definitely to the point of resentment.

Suwako also seemed to notice that breakfast was a little too much, and sneered.

Sanae is like a bride now. Always happy."

"That, that, the bride or something...... Wait, Suwako-sama, it's not allowed to put the kelp you don't like to eat in the Kenya bowl!"

"Uh......h I can't do it anymore."

Suwako cries while coping with the kelp roll that she is not good at.

But as Sakoko said, Sanae can now glimpse the signs of a good wife and mother in the next few years.

Of course.

Sanae-sama is not only beautiful, but also has a gentle personality, and when appropriate, she will show a stern side, and she is very reliable.

The man who will be able to combine her destiny with her in the future must be very lucky.

It seems that it is because of such a calm air, right?

Faced with the matter of meeting Tengu soon, he didn't seem to be nervous at all.

"Sanae-sama, another bowl?"

"Ah, really! It's already full, and besides, if you call Miss Sanae, you will be estranged, please call me Sanae. Please eat."

"Thank you. Well...... But why? Huiyin and Kanako's names don't feel the same as Sanae's...... I'm not used to it."

"yes, it's different from humans. The names of me and Suwako are also our god names, and Kamishirasawa Keion is just a name changed from the name of the yokai itself, which is different from Sanae, who is a human. ”

"Hey!huh!? That's it...... Why did I suddenly feel that I was the only one abandoned......"

"Well, it would be nice to simply call Sanae, in that case, Sanae will be even cuter!"

"Really, Lady Tsuko's words!"

Watch carefree laughter echo across the dining table.

What warm air?

If there is such a strong family relationship, there is nothing to complain about in life.

After all, I still miss my parents, right?

How's mom doing now?

Father, are you strong?

Thinking towards his hometown, Kenya patted his cheek with both hands again.

Everything is illusory, and it is only now that it is real.

After going to the depths of the tengu today, let's think about it, now is not the time to think about family affairs.

Kenya grabbed the bowl of rice and swallowed it all in one go.

"Ah, Mr. Kenya, if you don't chew well, it's not good for your stomach?"

“…… I'm sorry.

After breakfast, gather in front of the main entrance of the shrine when it is ready.

Accompanying Kenya were Kanako and Kamiko.

Sanae still has morning classes to do at the shrine, and the current cultivation can't directly face those big monsters.

After watching Kenya and his party set off.

She returned to the shrine and began her practice again.

That's not enough.

If you can't help Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama......

How can you help Mr. Kenya.

With a strong conviction, Sanae sat down and began to cultivate again.

Do twice as much today! Say whatever you want to be more reliable!

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

Before leaving, Sanae gives Kenya a amulet bag containing a prayer.

It's the one that hangs around my neck now.

In order to pray for a safe journey, although it was very weak, Kenya could still feel a faint strength from inside.

The same power as the feeling on Kanako and Suwako.

Probably something like spiritual power, right?

Thinking like this, Kenya continued to walk in the mountains with Kanako and the others.

Actually, Kanako and Kasuko can fly from the sky if they want to, but Kenya can't learn to fly yet.

Although I have also consulted Reimu and others, I can't use it.

Kanako also expressed her helplessness about this, with the help of the spiritual power of the Budu Imperial Soul, it is clear that it is easy to even move mountains and seas.

So why can't you fly?

For now, it can only be attributed to Kenya's own problems.

After all, it's been less than half a month since I've been in Gensokyo, so I haven't been familiar with the situation here.

Some concepts are not yet acceptable, or there are some common sense of outsiders that have not been eliminated.

As things stand, it may only be a matter of time.

In recent battles, it has been possible to consciously manipulate spiritual power, albeit only with a sword......

However, Kanako also said that this incident will teach some cultivation methods if it is resolved.

What is not oneself is still false after all, and there may be a time in the future when you can't draw your sword.

A swordsman who just relies on the sharpness of foreign objects is not a qualified swordsman after all.

That's roughly what it says.

Well...... Anyway, he was looking forward to the feeling of flying in the air

Just gladly accept this opinion.

However, Kanako and the others also said that they had planned to walk over on foot.

Originally born from the earth, or gods, must walk on the earth.

Otherwise, over time, you will forget the blessings of the earth, Kanako sensed Kenya's accident and explained to him.

Just as he was about to step into the Tengu's realm, a white shadow suddenly flashed between the trees on the other side.

In an instant, he came to the open space in front of them and bowed.

It is the inu of the white wolf tengu.

"Yesterday was a blessing. According to the order of the Heavenly Demon, I have come to greet you, and if you are rude, please bear with me. ”

"It's okay, lead the way."

Kanako, who had already shown her majesty as a god, stepped forward and took the first step.

The crowd of the monster mountain instantly split into two, and they all bowed their heads and knelt respectfully to greet them.

Suwako is also different from the usual laughing and slapstick, and now she also shows a serious look, which is far from usual.

Quiescence.

The creepy atmosphere spreads through the air.

Kenya would not admit defeat either, and looked at them with his chest puffed out.

Later, when I met with the Heavenly Demon, I was the only one who had to talk to him.

You can't always rely on others.

The Tengu lives in the same village as the human world, but if you have to compare it, it turns out that the walls made of rocks in Yokai Mountain are even more magnificent.

Through the gate, there are also earthen walls and wooden bamboos inside.

Then countless crows stood on the roof tiles.

Therefore, many white wolf tengu and black tengu looked at Kenya and his party with strange eyes.

According to Tsubaki's introduction, it seems that there have been no formal guest visits for hundreds of years.

Following her guidance, they came to the main gate and passed through the tengus' quarters.

You can only enter by passing through the city.

What appeared in front of me was a familiar face.

"Oh, you're here, little friend. I've been waiting for a long time, and I've also given an order to entertain His Highness the Two Pillars on the mountain. Decaying ...... The humble monk mainly welcomes you on behalf of the Heavenly Demon."

"His Highness Kurama Tengu!"

Kurama Tengu, who competed with Kenya's sword at the shrine last night, knocked on the pin with his bow with a smile. Jump.

…… It doesn't seem to be very forceful.

"Thank you. You're good to be here. Next, go to the Heavenly Demon Lord, and the humble monk will lead the way."

"Well, then His Highness Kenya, I wish you all the best. ”

After the retreat, the substitute guide was Kurama Tengu.

Kurama seems to be a fairly senior tengu, commanding all the tengu in the castle to give way to Kenya and his party.

Of course, it must be the reason why the mountain god is with you, and if you want to say why, Kurama still bows to Kanako and Suwako a little more.

So Suwako tugged at Kenya's sleeve, made him bow his head, and whispered something beside Kenya.

"That's it, this Kurama Tengu is the second greatest figure in the tengu.

Among the eight tengu under the Heavenly Demon, he is the first to bear the brunt."

"Why did such a great man come back as a messenger?"

"I don't know. Tengu's mind is unpredictable."

This is a relatively closed society, and even the mountain gods can't guess what they think.

Soon after, the three of them were brought to the castle tower in the city.

The gold-bearing gate was opened by attendants on either side.

What appears in front of you is a room with a tatami mat width and covered in gold leaf.

In the room, Semeimaru and Keine are seated in the upper seat, in which a huge tengu can be seen sitting behind a curtain.

If you actually estimate its size, it will feel like the roof of Moriya Shrine is on the ground.

Just as Kenya was frightened by the huge tengu figure in front of him, Kurama Tengu stepped forward to report the tenma.

"This is Kurama Tengu, fortunately, the sword teacher in the world and the two pillar gods of Shouya Shrine have been brought to ......

"You've done your duty...... Kurama, let's go to the seat over there. Guests, please relax."

"Wow, it's been a long time, Heavenly Demon. Hasn't changed, has it?"

"Oh, Yasaka-sama. When I thought of it, my blood boiled at the beginning, and now I am relieved to see your sword. Since the agreement was made, I have rarely talked to you. Is this the reason for the stinky boy next to you?

"First time meeting you. Under the name of Kenya. ”

"I am the chief of the tengu...... Heavenly Demons. I've heard about it this time. Let's sit down first. ”

The leader of the Tengu clans, one of the few forces to be proud of in Gensokyo, has a red face and a long nose like the other tengus because his face is blocked by a curtain.

However, judging from the clothes exposed, just like the clothes worn by the military commanders of the Warring States period, some parts of the elegant black kimono are covered by chains.

Around the Heavenly Demon, Kenya and the other four sat on his left hand side, and Semei Maru and Kurama Tengu sat on the right side.

"Huiyin, why are you here?"

"Here's my line. I thought you were almost back yesterday. But this morning, a certain tengu came to the private school and brought me over. Really, your words ......."

Looking at the conversation between the two who were whispering quietly, the cough of the Heavenly Demon interrupted their conversation.

"So...... Let's start by confirming the facts, shall we?

"Yes...... Heavenly Demon Lord"

The Shooting Pill Bun, who was rampant and domineering in the world, knelt in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Lord in a pretended posture.

Huiyin and Tanzi both listened with wide eyes as they listened.

"That, Kenya's statement is that you tampered with the content of the report and humiliated Kamishirasawa Huiyin and Kenya, no opinion, right?"

“…… Yes. That's right. ”

"You're a guy who doesn't take lessons."

"Kurama-sama, what do you think about this?"

Kurama Tengu, who was asked by the Heavenly Demon, squinted his eyes as he looked at the trembling Shotmaru lying on the ground.

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

Squinting eyes are monsters!
