In the beginning, everything was just a fate that never happened.

Hence the name Destiny.

What kind of coincidence will the two cherry blossoms that cross the same sky collide together and unite their falling destinies?

It was a very fortuitous accident, like the future that was bound to come.

Because, if those two petals can't meet each other in the wind, they will inevitably soar to the same place. Whether they meet in the air or not, they are bound to fall to the same land.

There is no accident in this world, everything is bound to come.

Maybe it's suffocating despair, but it's definitely your choice.

That kind of front is generally called the front of fate, what way do we choose to face it to stop sadness?

In that case, no matter what you choose, you will be scarred.

Slowly caress the scar that cannot be felt by touch, and unconsciously trajects it, and then becomes more and more indifferent or numb.

In that case, it hurts.

Man cannot forget and deny anything that he has already known.

That's the past and the truth.

Man cannot kill himself.

That's the present and instinct.

One can think about things that one would not be able to do on their own, and gradually complete them by "perfecting" them.

That's the future and the desire.

In that case, it's sad.

Knowing that people are like this and the world is like this, you should be able to choose the direction indifferently.

Because in that case, no matter what, it will be the end of the same path.

In that case, it's annoying.

========================== teenager wakes up and ================================

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that the surrounding scenery was dyed red.

Under the dim sky, a dark forest enveloped all.

The shining, yellow glow is a firefly.

Faced with this fantastic landscape, he only had to be taken aback, what else could there be.

Even if you want to think desperately, the brain gives a warning, buzzing. I can't remember anything about what happened before I woke up. It's like being alive again at this moment, and it's an uncomfortable feeling.

Suddenly, I found that I was wearing, a white kimono, a dark blue gown.

The second is the turquoise scabbard on the waist.

The length of the sword is about three feet. The scabbard is beautifully engraved with patterns, and the hilt is heavy silver.

It looks like a very simple sword.

As soon as you wake up and find yourself dressed like this, no matter what happens, how will you feel?

"No, I don't know who I am. ”

A look of uncertainty appeared in his eyes, and the pain of an arrow piercing his whole body appeared.

"But...... Now is not the time to think about this."

Immediately, deep in the night-covered forest, countless yellow beast eyes were staring at him.

There was a murderous aura all around, and he only instinctively felt that it was the breath of the beasts that inhabited the forest.

It seems that this is their dining table. In order to survive, there is only the principle of the jungle here,

The boy predicted that they hadn't eaten for days, but now, in front of the beast, an honest man who could be eaten with a simple claw.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he glared straight back along their line of sight.

Some of the beasts, hungry and hungry, began to murmur among themselves.

Some of the beasts have six pairs of wings on their backs, some have three long horns, and some have countless touches, all of which have alien-like appearances.

And because of the suffering of excessive hunger. They are hungry both mentally and physically.

I haven't eaten for a long time, and I came across fresh meat that got lost, and it inspired the original ** from the bone marrow.

They have not lived a hunting life for a long time.

"What will it taste like this time?"

The beasts imagined what it would be like to taste their prey as they moved slowly, calculating the distance.

And behind the young man, the monster with four arms couldn't bear it at first.

"That's it, smash it! The entrails shake...... And then remorse...... Huh!?" Before the monster could finish speaking, it was interrupted by a burst of cyan flashes.

The boy turned his head instantly, quickly drew out the blade of the sword, held the sword in his left hand, and stabbed it out, as clean as cutting tofu, and cut off the other arm of the four-armed youkai again.

The pain caused the youkai who had lost both arms to scream, but at the moment neither beast nor youkai reacted.

Young and easy to cut the beast in two, they never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

He shook off his bloodstained blade and glared hard at the remaining beasts and monsters.

But it was he who surprised everyone more than anyone else.

Didn't realize it at all. His body reacted almost intuitively, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the blood of the beast scattered in the air.

Can someone lose control of their body?

"It feels bad....... ”

As the boy felt disgusted, the monsters took a step forward, and finally hunger overcame fear, and the beasts and monsters pounced on them in droves.

He reacted instinctively and moved his body as he pleased...... Use your sword to cut off the enemy's wings, weave your way through the monsters, and raise your hand. Sinking his waist and trying his best to avoid the predicament of being surrounded, the flesh foam of the beast constantly flew in the air.

After a while, there were only three left on the demon beast's side.

He didn't even take back his sword, the tip of the sword pointed at the three demon beasts, and he took a deep breath and shouted.

"What's the matter!Come and eat me!"

The boy's actions really frightened the monsters, and they fled into the forest.

Stared at them until they disappeared in the darkness. The murderous sight is finally no longer felt, and the crisis has finally passed.

The moment he understood this fact, he let his guard down and lowered his right hand. Then lay down in the grass.

“…… Not only is it difficult to breathe...... The swords were as heavy as stone...... The strength to walk is almost gone......"

He rubbed the waterfall-like droplets with the palm of his hand, wiped the blood from the sword with the long sleeve of his robe, wiped the flesh foam from the scabbard, and staggered to his feet.

"I hope to get out of the forest safely, if you can solve the problem without drawing your sword, then it would be the best......"

Tried to carry your sword on your back, but still ......

"It hurts to death. ”

…… If I could, this was the last battle I could hope for.

But the instant slash of the beast's hand, their wail, pain.

Unconsciously aware of their breath, he walked between them with ease.

How to say that......

"What a terrible instinct."

I don't know how many times I've praised it

This body manipulates the sword as if it does whatever it wants.

I really have to thank the original owner of this body...... What about my past self.

Of course. This doesn't mean that the boy can just let his guard down, considering that the monsters may also have a habit of living in groups, if their companions see their corpses, they may follow the smell to chase them. Waiting for help doesn't seem to be the best option, either.

Once he thought that he might face the attack of the beast again, the boy could not relax.

"So...... At this time, I can only take action."

===================== teenager walks in the middle =====================

How many miles have you walked, or simply going around in circles around the same place. However, the scenery formed by similar trees is already dark, and it may only be seen until daylight that there is no sign of an exit.

At the end of the day, I'm hungry. Throat is dry. In this case, it is also difficult to find food.

…… I don't know if anyone can hear my sighs.

Just as the boy took a few steps forward, the color of his vision suddenly changed.

The darkness of the woods suddenly became darker and surrounded him.

……… Such a sudden feeling of darkness......

…… Is it a youkai......

When he put his hand on the hilt of the knife with a wary look——。

"Wow-"

Relax your vigilance, and suddenly such a lovely young girl emerged from the grass again...... Child.

Suddenly, the little girl with blond hair and bare feet in front of her poked her head over.

"Ahh

Involuntarily shouted, and the teenager's glasses widened.

"Fly...... Flying?!"

With her soft body, skirt and black clothes, and golden hair with scarlet ribbons, such a little girl is indeed fluttering in the air.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed, staring intently at the little girl's red eyes from the front. What looks cute is actually a youkai? or a god?

The boy was there, staring intently.

At this moment,

Child, open your little lips.

"Hey, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"What are you doing?"

"Can you eat it?"

What a straightforward question......

But the real meaning of this sentence is really scary

…… Is there such a child among the monsters?

Scratching his cheek, the boy replied with a slightly malicious smile.

"If you eat me, you're going to have a stomach. ”

"yes~~~......"

The child looked at him for three seconds before smiling.

"Forget it, then!"

…… How naïve

So honest, innocent predators. In this case, I met him as a prey,

I clearly didn't even have the strength to escape.,But I met a baka monster who wanted to fill my stomach.。

Now, he pointed to the fluttering baka girl and had a very sincere conversation.

"Are you hungry? The fruits of the forest, the mushrooms, ......"

"The youkai over there...... I'm full!"

Monster?

He raised an eyebrow. Anyway, a few monsters escaped just now, could it be that this fluttering girl has such a powerful power?

She's more of a monster than a child with natural abilities, right?

In any case, since he had no intention of causing harm, the boy was not prepared to draw his sword.

…… A little relieved.,It looks like a very kind little monster.。

"Don't youkai only eat humans?"

"It's not ~~, it's not that if it's not a human being, you won't eat it"

…… This means that I can eat something else. The boy raised an eyebrow.

The corpses of the youkai were still lying in the same place, and then I remembered that I was worried that the meat of the youkai would be contaminated with demonic energy after eating it, and although I don't know where I got this knowledge, I can feel that somewhere in my body is resisting this meat with my body's 'instinct'......

"I knew there was a place where there were a lot of youkai corpses. There should be a lot left, if it hasn't been eaten by other youkai, but ......"

"Yes~~~. Then I'll go find out~. By the way, what's your name?"

…… Name

But even if someone asked me this question, I wouldn't be able to answer.

The memories of the past are like blank sheets of paper, and I can't figure out who I am now. I don't have a very valuable memory, but I don't worry about it. In reality, it is like a traveler who sees a mirage in the desert, and he feels confused.

“…… I do not know. I don't think it's a big deal, though. ”

"Yes~~~"

"And who are you?"

"My name is Lumia. However, I just went to the forest... Are you lost, can't find your way home?"

"When I woke up, it was around here. If you get lost...... In that case, I guess it's pretty much the same. I don't know if I have to go home. It's better to say that he was attacked by youkai before he met humans. ”

"So, I'll look for a nearby human habit, you wait. ”

Lumia flew easily through the woods, waving her small hands.

The boy pondered the differences between the yokai. Rumi has a cute appearance, with a warm smile on her soft cheeks, and on one side is a disgusting youkai with a bloody mouth on his face.

As he sighed, Lumia pointed in the air in a certain direction, beckoning the boy to come over.

==================== teenager walked out of the forest to ==================

After a long time still not out of the silence of the forest, although it has nothing to do with it,

Because I've gotten some special information from Lumia.

Especially when he asked about the location.

Lumia's reply, "This is the land of Gensokyo.

The gods, monsters, goblins, etc., which are forgotten in modern society, sometimes war, sometimes laugh at each other's wonderful balance and maintain the world. Of course, mortal gods and monsters may also be enemies, most likely because of the sound of their food. There are exceptions, though. Among the human race, there are also people who are mainly retired to the yokai, and there are also people who study magic and wizards.

In the past, Lumia was also punished for eating a lot of humans because she was too hungry. ”

Then it means a lot to come to this world, he thought calmly in his heart.

I was very lucky to survive the attack of youkai, but I was not confident that I could continue to survive here. And his own memories are also missing.

At least the name should be remembered. If you want to think about it again from now on, you have to think carefully about your name.

As the boy pondered his own name, Lumia stopped.

When I noticed it, the surroundings lit up. The sun shone through the leaves, and a small house stood in front of them.

The walls outside the first floor are crawling with vines, and the chimney protrudes from the roof with gray smoke.

There was no movement.

"Lumia, is anyone really living here?"

"Well, yes, and it's not a bad guy."

Lumia shook her hands and hovered over the boy's head.

"Then I'm going back first~!"

"Yes? Thank you Lumia for your help. ”

"I'm hungry again, each other, and thank you for telling me where the food is. So ......"

"Bye-bye~ I'm going to tell Lumia your name next time!"

With a wave of her hand, Lumia disappeared from the forest and floated away.

…… Gensokyo is truly a magical place

The boy looked wistfully at where Lumia had flown away.

…… So what's next

When you look down and think about what kind of name you should ask for help from others.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of vigorous footsteps.

"News!!!"

It was a woman's voice that was heard. The feeling of a slightly older girl compared to the previous Lumia.

Next was the voice of a more rigid girl

"So, you're getting the wrong customer!"

And then...... I heard the screams and explosions of another girl.

Then there was the sound of birds flying away and shaking branches in the woods, and words of unknown meaning such as "I will definitely come again, remember me!"

…… In any case, the initial impression is important, and it is necessary to speak very politely.

"That...... I'm a passer-by, can you please help me if you can?"

"Huh, who's ......?"

It's a strange-looking dwelling, after the sound of vigorous footsteps.

The boy saw a blonde girl wearing a huge black tricorne swipe open the door.

"That...... It was Rumia who made me ......."

"Bang!"

In response to the teenager, the girl simply closed the door.

………… What a decisive girl, or maybe too reckless

I don't know how many seconds later,

The girl's eyes widened and the door opened again, as if she had seen a "monster". She clenched the octagonal unidentified object in her hand and pointed it at the dazed teenager.

"Oh! I don't have anything of value! I'm not afraid of robbers!"

"I'm sorry. Am I considered a robber by you. ”

"So, then why are you covered in blood?!"

"Huh?"

The boy known as the robber did still have traces of black blood on his fingers.

Speaking of which, when I cut down the beasts and youkai, I was indeed splashed with blood, and I was tired all the way for so long without noticing the problem.

Oops! The most important thing is forgotten! What should I do next......

…… All in all, let's find a way to find a topic first......

“…… I was introduced by Lumia...... She said I could get help here. ”

"I'm not afraid of even robbers, after all, you've met Gensokyo's famous ancestor of strange thieves, Lord Ben DA☆...... ZE?!Lumia's acquaintance!?"

"En......"

After spending a lot of time apologizing to the shocked girl and explaining carefully, she was allowed to enter the house.

"Although the bloody man whose name and past are unknown is not trustworthy, since it was recommended by Lumia, it is easy to say. Are you abandoned in the forest?"

But unexpectedly, after entering the house, I found that the blonde girl was an unexpectedly sloppy person......

How can I say it? All kinds of medicines, pots, and books are piled up everywhere, and it's like a garbage dump.

After taking off her shoes in the hallway, the girl found a towel in the pile of 'garbage' and turned around and threw it to the boy.

"Wipe the blood off your body first, or people will mistake you for an evil spirit. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Then you're staying here now, I'll go get some snacks first!"

"Okay......

The boy wiped the blood stains on the side, and then cleaned up the house in a tidy mood.

"In return, at least help her clean the house......"

Upon closer inspection, you can see that the wooden shelves in the house are covered with messy clothes, and there are various pots and mushrooms lying on the floor.

Look at everything and there are all kinds of waste scattered around...... It's like a waste dump somewhere.

The boy sighed deeply.

At this time, he thought to himself

"It's bad enough. ”
