"Don't be in a hurry, I've been here for a long time today. ”

Alice is obviously not very interested in shopping. She doesn't look like a girl in this way, but a bit like a man like Levy. Most girls have the 'ability' to wander around the street for a day, but men like Lévy tend to go straight to the store where they have ordered to buy something, give money and take what they need and turn around and go back. Alice was probably like Levi in the past, and Kaguya was similar to her in this point, and I have to say that this Reizen was reluctant to admit that she could be compared to her own princess, and Kaguya really had some similarities.

"Don't worry, I won't force you to go where you don't like. ”

Levi said as he pressed Alice's shoulder and pulled her over to his side. Behind them, a group of students ran past the two of them, and it looked like they were about to hit Alice, who was not paying attention behind them. Don't doubt that although Alice is already a very powerful magician in this world, a pure mage's ability to deal with unexpected situations without preparation is destined to be inferior to that of an excellent warrior. Although Alice is not an ordinary human being, as a man, shouldn't Levi care more about the ladies around him at this time and show his thoughtfulness as a gentleman.

"The people here really give people a sense of being happy forever. ”

Alice leaned on Lévy's shoulder, looking at the group of students who had already run away on their chatter.

"The students in this school are quite special, what are the humans in your Gensokyo?"

"Humans in Gensokyo?"

Alice tapped her chin and rolled her eyes in thought.

"I guess there's no freedom as humans here. Not that someone restricts their freedom of movement, but ...... Psychological reasons?"

It seems that Alice is not very good at discussing these deeper and philosophical topics with people, and she has been thinking about it for a long time but has not come up with a more simple and understandable statement.

But that's enough, Levi's science grades are not good, but he is also a liberal arts teacher. Although what he teaches has nothing to do with philosophy, sociology, human nature, or anything else, sometimes the difference between philosophers and others is that they can write down these things in a coherent way, and they can actually write down things that many people know but just don't realize...... Of course, the 'others' also refer to those who have a lot of experience and enough experience in life, especially someone like Levy who has traveled to many places and seen many different worlds.

"Oh, I see. Maybe it's because the other races in Gensokyo are too strong, and humans are too weak, so they will be psychologically depressed?"

"Yes, that's exactly what you said. ”

Alice looked up at Levi in agreement, and that's what she was trying to say.

"Those people in the human world usually don't seem to be anything special. But the more you go, the less smiles they have. Except for children who don't know anything, most people feel as if they're tired, even if they're not doing a lot of hard work. They're probably worried about those youkai and people like me. ”

Due to the development of human beings, youkai have lost their living space, but this persecution is based on the fact that the number of human beings is large enough, the technology of human beings is developed enough, and human beings no longer believe in monsters and ghosts from the bottom of their hearts. And the number of humans in Gensokyo is too small in the first place, and the development of technology is extremely difficult in that very familiar place in Gensokyo, according to Reizen, the humans of Gensokyo have maintained a similar way of life from the beginning since they entered Gensokyo, and the same is not like humans but more like monsters with long lifespans.

As for the last point, that's not to mention. In a place where you can casually walk on the street every day and see monsters and ghosts passing by you, how much heart does it take for humans there to deny these living existences in front of them?

"Didn't you say that the shrine maiden would protect the safety of humans?Well, there are other people besides the shrine maiden who protect humans, and I remember that there were some youkai and ......"

"And the magicians, and the gods. ”

Alice continued Levy's words.

"A magician like you?"

Otherwise, it's a hassle to know too much. All kinds of different people coincidentally use the same way of addressing different beings. This makes Levi always have to emphasize when he speaks, so as not to make a mistake or someone else misunderstands. Just like the name "Magician", not to mention that it has several different meanings on this earth, even in Gensokyo, this word can refer to both ordinary humans who can use magic, and such a special race as "Magician".

Because it was not clear whether Alice was talking about ordinary humans who practiced magic, or if she belonged to an independent race like her, which was similar to various monsters, Levi asked emphatically.

"She was also trained by a human to become a magician. ”

Alice nodded.

"It's just that she's much older than a newcomer like me. ”

These Levi had heard from Reisen that the magician was an 'old man' of the same level as Kaguya.

"Since there are shrine maidens and so many people protecting them, is the pressure on human life still so great?"

Although there is no comparison between the protection of people and the power they have. But in the more ignorant period of mankind, it was not uncommon for people to stop being afraid of anything as long as they had a firm faith. The kind of outliers that would be called fanatics in modern society were actually quite common at some times.

The human Levi in Gensokyo sounds relatively backward, but he can often witness all kinds of 'miracles' with his own eyes, so he thinks they should have the potential to become fanatics.

"Actually, the pressure is not so great, and I have been to many times before I found those more subtle places. But if you want to talk about the reason, it's probably because not all the people in the world have settled in Gensokyo since a very early age. Every once in a while, there are people who cross the barrier and strayed into Gensokyo, and if they were rescued by a shrine maiden or someone else before an accident, they would then live in the human world. ”

If one day those students suddenly strayed into a world full of monsters and monsters, and even if they were rescued before they encountered an accident, but living in such a world where they had already seen danger, I am afraid that no matter how many others assured them of safety, it would be difficult to truly eliminate the fear in their hearts in a short period of time.
