Facing Marisa, who was dumbfounded, Kenya held out his hand while nibbling on an apple.

"Eat?"

It wasn't Marisa who answered him, but the cheers of the crowd.

Later, the villagers tried to investigate the other scarecrows, but they only found that all the scarecrows were cut in half and the apples were evenly divided into the same size.

"Ahh

"That's it...... I don't know how it was myself. It's just that I feel like I might be able to succeed...... Huh?"

Returning to his seat, Kenya, who had just raised his wine glass, found it for three seconds while dealing with Marisa's entanglement with his eyes shining.

In front of Kenya's line of sight, there is a young blonde youkai hiding in a hidden place biting his fingers, watching every move here.

Have you already received an invitation that has been secretly arranged?

Kenya appropriately wrapped the food in bamboo leaves and put it in his arms to hide, and quickly ran to the outside of the private school under the pretext of going to the toilet, calling Lumia in an inconspicuous place.

"Are you coming?"

"Invited by Scud. Is Kenya Oni-chan's name?"

"Ah, it's like this here now. ”

"So?"

"Don't hide in such a dark corner and play with everyone, isn't it?"

"If I go, everyone will be scared. However, I was hungry."

"yes, I'm glad I got some back!"

Taking out the bamboo leaf wrapped side dish from her arms, Lumia happily grabbed it with both hands and happily spun around in place.

If only the young demon Luminia I met when I first came to Gensokyo could be happy.

I was worried that the food would not suit the appetite of the cannibal monster, but it seems that it was unfounded.

Is that kind of young monster with a staggered face and a mouth that swells and chews like a chinchilla being something to be feared?

That kind of thing is impossible.

So human beings are really ......

"Oh yes, oh yes, what a surprise that you can get in kind with a man-eating monster."

Suddenly, a brisk voice came from behind.

Kenya immediately took on a battle stance.

[I didn't feel any breath at all!]

"Ah, don't worry. I don't need to inform everyone. I'm also an invited youkai."

Under the moonlight, slowly walking out was a black-haired girl with a strange red hat on her head and black wings on her back.

From the appearance of a DSLR camera hanging around his neck, Kenya thought of the black tengu reporter of the Bunbun Shimbun News Agency who listened to Huiyin talk about during the day.

And her piece of advice.

[Absolutely, never do more contact with her!]

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Sorry for being late. I'm Shotimaru Fumi

Are you alright, aya!

Actually, I kind of want to interview His Royal Highness Kenya, can you squeeze out some time?"

"I refuse, I don't like that kind of thing. ”

…… This is what I mean from the heart.

I don't like to be used as a gossip center.

However, her eyes were filled with tears and her head bowed deeply.

"Please! Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up in the morning newspaper tomorrow......! If the circulation of the local newspaper does not increase, my life will become difficult~!"

The monsters of the world are also applicable to human beings.

Jian Ya, who was originally vigilant, felt a strong sense of self-blame in his heart in the face of crying and begging like this.

Can't refuse, such a feeling.

“…… At most, it's just a matter of introducing yourself."

"Ah, thank you! Your name and your impressions of coming to Gensokyo. Also, and your future ambitions and so on."

Faced with the fury-like question of the Shooting Pill, Kenya carefully chose a certain range while thinking about her purpose.

And she nodded again and again, while the tip of the pen wandered around the notepad, taking notes and constantly asking questions, including asking why the feared man-eating monster Lumia hung on the back of the sword, such an intimate thing.

Of course, there was no positive answer.

Tengu is also a terrible man-eating monster......

"Yo roar...... I see, I know! I will definitely report on today's content! Thank you for your cooperation!"

With his right hand on his forehead, he spread his wings on his back and flew into the night sky.

Flying......

A little envious,

I think I have all the words of human beings, and I want to fly in the sky.

Speaking of which, since I came to Gensokyo, many people I know can fly.

So does Rumia, as do Marisa and Reimu.

If you want to use it in the future, please ask for advice.

Looking at the starry sky, the shooting pill that flew to Yokai Mountain.

Kenya suddenly felt the exhaustion from being hit by the storm and sighed deeply.

"Is it okay?"

"I'm a little tired...... I want to go and have a drink. ”

"So, then, I should go back."

"Have you eaten enough?"

"Hmm. See you at the Lake of Mist. Ernie sauce, break!"

Lumia waved her little hands, wrapped in darkness, and her voice didn't reach too far, and she returned to the forest.

It's been a long time since I've met her, but now that I see that she's very energetic, Kenya is relieved.

By the time he returned to the banquet hall, all the villagers in the human world were drunk and sleeping, and only a few people, like Marisa and Reimu, were talking happily and red.

Ah Qiu, who had fainted drunk, had been taken back by the maids.

Kenya took the cushion Marisa handed and sat down, and the wine was slowly poured into the glass, and it was drunk in one gulp.

The body began to heat up slightly, but the fatigue disappeared all at once.

The dishes made by Huiyin are also superb.

Kenya, who had already drunk about half of the flask, suddenly felt drowsy and patted Marisa on the shoulder.

Then he leaned back against the wall and began to fall asleep.

Marisa said in surprise when she saw it.

"This guy is sitting and sleeping, oh my God."

Alice smiled and defended Kenya.

"I'm probably tired. Ever since I came to Gensokyo, I've never had a relaxing day. ”

“…… I care a little. ”

Unlike the two, Reimu had a slightly serious face.

After making sure that Kenya was asleep, he slowly removed his love sword and pulled it out of its scabbard.

"What, Reimu, are you going to sell it to a pawnshop? In that case, I know a nice guy, let's go six-four." ”

"Who would do such a thing. It's just that when he wielded this sword, I felt it...... There is something like a faint spiritual power."

"What is the sword housed by? or his own?"

"Ahh Still under investigation...... Sure enough, after the sword was drawn, a strange power leaked out. An ordinary sword is impossible in the first place. It has to be a spirit sword with a soul, or has it been consecrated by some character?"

Hearing this, Alice interjected with a frown.

"Dead things are things that are hard to fit into the soul. Especially if the mission is to deprive others of their lives, the soul of the user will be easily condemned to death, especially if it is such a thing......"

In front of the girls who were investigating the sword and love the sword, a crack suddenly tore open.

Purple came out of the gap and slowly walked out.

"The essence of it hasn't been determined yet, has it?"

"Gee, isn't that a regular thing? like a puppet making a puppet. Over time, the doll will also have a soul and a mind in its body. If it were you, you'd understand, right? There must be a lot of remorse behind the tears shed by this sword. But now it can be the owner of the words, it will be very happy...... Give it back to him. That's not what you have. If it is used by humans and youkai other than him, it will definitely ruin itself. ”

"What, that's like a demon knife. ”

"Dead things also have the right to choose their director. Especially swords. Even if you lose your memory of something so profound, there is no reason to do it hastily."

Purple picked up the scabbard from Reimu's hand and took the sword back, secretly apologizing to the sleeping sword.

"Hey, interstitial youkai...... You should know what happened before Kenya's amnesia, right?"

Marisa, who was questioned by the reinforced tone, shook her head.

"I don't know anything about him. But that's all I know and that's all I can say. It was me who brought him here, and even you are not allowed to know anything about it. Because that's what Gensokyo means. ”

The girls who looked at each other were stunned like this, watching Purple holding the sword, tearing open the gap behind her with many eyes and disappearing from the scene of the banquet.

Tearing the gap again, he appeared in the bedroom where the quilt was neatly laid out and Jian Ya appeared, and gently and slowly carried him to the bed and covered the quilt.

Gently stroking Kenya's forehead with his fingertips, small tears floated in his purple eyes for some reason.

"You're just like us...... It is a fantasy that has been forgotten by the outside world...... Sleep well now. Anyway, when you remember, get it back—"

Purple tore the gap again and disappeared at the same time that a gust of wind blew through the window, and the flame of the candle was blown out.

Darkness has arrived.
