It took a moment for the three of them to climb over the hills, out of the forest, and to stand on the flat ground again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Strictly speaking, it's not "land", it's a solid cement pavement. Unlike any of the roads they had walked in Gensokyo, the path under their feet was wide and smooth, with no end in sight, and strange white lines were drawn on it.

"Is this also a magic array......

With this in mind, Alice walked and tried to analyze the meaning of those white lines.

Marisa, on the other hand, became interested in the towering metal lighting tools that lined the road.

"Hey, Marisa, get me down!"

Reimu leaned back and looked up at Marisa, who was happily climbing up the lamppole.

"It's okay, it's okay," Marisa said with a grin, "I've been climbing up and down the trees in the Enchanted Forest since I was a child, and this kind of pillar can't bother me at all!"

"That's not the problem, okay?"

Reimu attracted spiritual power, and as soon as her body was light, she flew up to Marisa, grabbed Marisa's collar and pulled her down, successfully tearing her off the lamppole.

If a passer-by happens to pass by at this time, he will definitely take out his mobile phone and take a picture of the figure of the red and white girl floating in mid-air, and spread it to the Internet. After that, the cute shrine maidens flying through the air may become the new urban legend and become popular with older single men.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there was not a single pedestrian on this country road except for the three of them. Even if Marisa is furious and takes out the gossip furnace to make a limit spark, it will not necessarily be discovered.

Of course, if she did, the rumors of crop circles would inevitably increase.

"It hurts, Reimu!"

Marisa, who fell to the ground, stood up with the pole of light, rubbing her ass and grumbling:

"Look, my ass has been broken in half!"

In this regard, Reimu has no remorse.

"It's supposed to be two halves!"

With this as the beginning, she babbled and preached:

"If you are seen, you yourself will be regarded as a freak, and the two of us standing next to you may also suffer!"

"But, you just flew up, didn't you?" Marisa said, rubbing her ass, "Isn't that something more eye-catching?"

"It's not all because of you?"

"Blame me too?"

"Alright......," Alice sighed, and stepped in between the two of them, acting as peacemaker, "now is not the time to stop here and quarrel, is we...... Or do you want to sleep on the streets, squatting here and waiting for dawn?"

Under her persuasion, Reimu and Marisa just snorted coldly, stopped looking away, ignored each other, and continued to move forward.

Because the two little girls were angry with each other and ignored each other, the rest of the road was very quiet, and Alice was able to enjoy the autumn night outside.

The night sky is clear, and you can see the stars and moon when you look up. The night breeze was cool, but it was refreshing and comfortable for Alice. The air was filled with the scent of the north wind, the snort of the Winter Giant.

"The so-called outside world is not much different from Gensokyo!" she sighed in her heart.

They didn't go far before the three of them came to a small town. The town is bordered by farmland on the left and the road on the right, and there is no other light source in the town except for the street lamps and the lights of a few taverns and shops.

In contrast, Gensokyo's nightlife is much more lively than this one.

Of course, the customs of the locals or something, Reimu don't care at all. For the three young girls who came from afar, there is still a very urgent matter waiting for them to deal with.

"Reimu, Alice!"

Marisa grabbed the hands of her two friends and walked to the door of a still open izakaya, her eyes lit up.

"Just eat this, eat this! Hurry up, I'm so hungry!"

What she said was true, in fact, not only her, but even Reimu was a little unbearable. Alice, who didn't need to eat, was also quite tired at this time, and wanted to find a place to sit for a while and drink hot tea.

"Then this one!"

Reimu nodded in agreement, and Alice remained silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, so the three of them decided to settle the dinner problem in this country tavern.

By the way, Marisa chose this place because she couldn't read the signs of "7-Eleven" and "McDonald's" on both sides, and only recognized the big red lantern with the word "alcohol" written on it hanging in front of the store.

It is common knowledge that where alcohol is sold, it must be sold.

"Jingle bell!"

"Excuse me!"

Marisa used her usual rough way of opening the door to open the door with the bell hanging open, and shouted loudly, which kind of expressed the meaning of "My lord, I am here".

The interior of this izakaya is mostly made of wood and has a retro Japanese-style style, and apart from the electric lights and the stereo playing classical music, everything is similar to that of a Tavern in Gensokyo. For the three girls, this is quite kind.

The dim lighting and soft music set the mood for the tavern, which is perfect for a country tavern that sells quiet, but unfortunately, few customers are willing to buy it.

In fact, except for the store manager himself and the three people who just came in, there was only one girl with dirt glasses in the room, sitting alone in the corner drinking stuffy wine.

When the three girls in fancy clothes walked into the store, the owner standing in front of the bar was startled at first, and then picked up the recipe, took the water glass, and went up to receive them like ordinary customers.

He's a man who has seen the world, a girl who came out of a cosplay party, he's seen a lot of it in the city, and there's no need to make a fuss about it like a village hat. Therefore, the shopkeeper always maintained a normal heart in front of these three girls.

Of course, he had no way of knowing why these "cosplay enthusiasts" were in the countryside.

Marisa picked a table against the wall, and the three of them sat down there. Behind them was the only guest in the tavern before - the short-haired and eyed woman in rustic clothes.

After they were seated, the glasses woman gently lowered her glass, raised her head, and took a good look at the strange-dressed gang in front of her through the two round pieces of glass. A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the three people who were concentrating on ordering food at this time could never notice this subtle change in expression.

"I want a bowl of tonkotsu soup ramen, a big bowl, noodles and meat, and then a fried chicken and a plate of natto. Reimu, what are you going to eat?"

"I just want a pork chop rice. ”

"Alice, what about you?"

"I'll just have some wine, I don't need to eat. ”

"We're sorry, but we don't sell alcohol to minors. The shopkeeper responded to Alice's request.

"Huh...... That's ......."

Alice was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the eyes of unsuspecting outsiders, so she stopped drinking and ordered a pot of fruit tea instead.

The food was not served slowly, which means that in addition to the owner, there is at least one chef on night duty in the tavern. Not only is black and white reversed, but if there are more customers, you have to deal with a bunch of drunkards who are drunk and unconscious all day long, and I don't know if you can collect all the money on time.

Marisa thought of the drunks who lined the door of the tavern every morning, and suddenly sympathized with the tavern owners.

Of course, the feeling of this moment was immediately washed away by the smell of food. When Marisa saw the bowl of meaty ramen, her eyes straightened like a tiger who had been hungry for a month and met a little sheep, and then she devoured it so ugly that even Alice, who was very well bred, couldn't help but look away.

"What's next?" Alice said to Reimu, ignoring Marisa who was eating from the sea, "As a shrine maiden, you should be able to find your way back, right?"

"Probably......" Reimu gave such an ambiguous answer.

"What does 'probably' mean?"

"It's uncertain, unconfident. I've done it before, but I've sent myself in...... This is the first time. ”

"Really......"

Alice said, taking another sip of black tea. Her expression did not fluctuate, and her heart was not shocked?

"At least, it's certain that this is the present world by now, and it's still fairly close to the edge of the Great Enchantment. Reimu continued, "If you can find the location of the Great Enchantment, there should be a way......

"'Should'......" Alice's tone was slightly lost.

Although I don't know what the mastermind behind them was planning to send them to such a place, this move has indeed caused them a lot of trouble. From this point of view, the guy has already won first.

In addition, she couldn't help but pay attention to the whereabouts of Shotimaru Wen. She didn't care much about the crow, she was really worried about her future.

If Wen hadn't been killed, that's fine, but what if someone killed her...... Next, is it Alice's turn?

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and if I don't know where the enemy will come from, I can't deal with it. After all, Alice had very little information at hand, and an incident that she had just read about in the morning newspaper had fallen on her own head that night, and in any case, it was too sudden.

Next, whether it is her or Reimu, it is difficult to say that there is any foolproof strategy, so you can only act in the dark and take one step at a time.

Of course, Marisa has to be discharged, she is the one who doesn't look at a single step and doesn't know when she will fall. If she could, Alice really didn't want to drag such a leg pendant around.

"Uh-huh!"

Speaking of Marisa, this guy is now choking on eating, his eyes are wide, his cheeks are flushed, and his hands are pressed to his chest, looking like "the end of the world is coming and I haven't finished my ramen yet".

Just as Alice was about to punch her in the stomach to help her digest her food, Marisa finally swallowed the contents of her esophagus. She snatched Alice's teacup, drank all the tea inside, relented, and then shouted with the air of Columbus's discovery of the New World:

"Everyone, big news, I'm Marisa...... Didn't bring any money!"

"You M ......"

Alice was so angry that she almost ruined her ladylike image. She didn't know why she was angry, but now Marisa was really too bad.

"Hey, forget it......" After calming down for a few seconds, she decided not to be like Marisa, and turned to Reimu to smell, "Reimu, did you bring any money?"

"Do I have any money like that?" Reimu shook her head and said, "I thought you'd bring a thousand eight hundred yuan with you......

"I ...... Hey......"

Alice touched her pocket, but she didn't touch the full touch that is unique to leather wallets.

The three of them stared at each other with big eyes, and with big eyes, they finally reached a wordless consensus - they had eaten this overlord meal.

All that's left is to find a moment to slip away, and Marisa is an expert at that.

However, at this time, an unexpected rescuer stepped forward to help them save the day.

"Boss, pay the bill, and besides, please count the bill at the next table to me. ”

"Huh, is that good?"

"There's nothing bad about it, the old man has money!"
