The gap between this life and the next.

A post town in a certain place, from the entrance of the town through a long cherry blossom forest road at the end of the road, there is a stone staircase on the left slope, along the stone staircase up about dozens of steps, on a flat ground is a five-story mahogany building made of towering attic.

Hot spring inn, this flower pavilion.

Guests from all over the world are welcomed daily.

Among these guests, there are humans, youkai, elves, and gods...

Autumn is crisp and crisp, morning.

The cherry trees, wood brocade, and phoenix trees in front of the courtyard shed a lot of withered leaves with the arrival of autumn, and the pomelo carried a broom to sweep the fallen leaves at the entrance of the courtyard.

Coming here in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is already autumn.

Inadvertently, Yuzu has become completely accustomed to the daily life of this flower pavilion.

The autumn sun is not as hot as summer, but after a long time in the sun, I suddenly feel warm.

Sweeping the fallen leaves into a small pile, Yuzu squinted at the cloudless blue sky and wagged her tail.

"It's a great day!"

"That's right, it's a nice day!"

A voice picked up her words.

"Huh!"

Yuzu was startled, and she hurriedly lowered her head to look ahead of the source of the voice.

Standing in front of her was a beautiful maiden, dressed in a somewhat strange red and white armpit shrine maiden costume, without any alien beast ears and tails or anything like that.

A human shrine maiden?!

I've seen a lot of human shrine maidens in the temple of the bhikshunis, but compared to the human shrine maidens I've seen before, Yuzu always feels that the human shrine maidens she has seen are a little strange.

Can't tell where.

"Welcome, guest!"

She bowed her head and said respectfully as she bent down respectfully.

Although there is a small town nearby, this flower pavilion is obviously not in Gensokyo, and the girl wearing a red and white armpit witch costume in addition to the undisciplined Reimu in Gensukyo, there is another Hanabi who takes 'Reimu' as her other real name in the fairy sword world.

"Fox girl!" Hanabi touched his chin and looked at the fox girl standing in front of him with a hint of interest in his eyes, speaking of which he liked this species very much when he was still an ordinary person.

Beast ears are cute, animal tails are cute, beautiful and attractive appearance, with various attributes of fox girls or tsundere or soft cuteness or black belly, starting a bed is definitely what many house creatures have fantasized.

But for the current fireworks, what makes her interested in the fox girl in front of her is the pure spiritual light on the girl's body.

There is no trace of flaws and haze.,The pure spiritual light that will be born because of the purity of the heart.,It's not inferior to Kagome.,For the gods, this kind of girl is the most suitable believer.,It's also the best candidate for becoming a shrine maiden.、The best candidate for the saint.,If you really confirm that you believe in a certain god.,The probability of becoming a saint has reached ninety.。

In the DND-like world, the girl's soul is definitely a precious resource snatched by the abyss demon and the purgatory devil, and the individual value assessment is no less than a four-star strange thing, but this is judged from the purest value.

Hanabi is not enough to dig out the soul of the fox girl and sell it to the devil or devil at first sight, not to mention that this behavior does not conform to her personal view, just to say that she has been able to condense the vitality and create a four-star strange thing at will, which is not more difficult than blowing a breath, the soul of the fox girl is really worthless.

"Well, do you have a reservation?" asked Yuzu, wagging her tail.

"Do you have a reservation? No. Hanabi showed a hint of thought, thought about it, and took out a wooden board tied with a red rope from his sleeve, and in the middle of the board was written the three Chinese characters 'This Flower Pavilion', with some small characters on the edge, and a crescent red mark in the corner.

"But the shopkeeper here gave me this before, saying that she could come back at any time. ”

The same credential as yesterday's Zenami-sama, Yuzu recognized the wooden sign at a glance.

The voucher issued by the female shopkeeper to a special guest, according to Lian, is only available to guests with a very distinguished status.

This flower pavilion is still a relatively high-end hot spring hotel, and guests staying in this flower pavilion generally need to make a reservation, but special guests with a voucher can stay at any time.

"It's rude!" Yuzu bowed in a panic, "Welcome to this flower pavilion, guest." ”

"Little fox, what's your name?"

Hanabi smiled and walked inside, Yuzu following closely.

"My name is Yuzu. ”

"Yuzu, I said, do you want to be my Shikigami? ”

"Eh!" Yuzu was stunned by the sudden words.

What is this person talking about?

"Well, please don't kidnap the young man of our house, this guest. Under a tree in front of her, Changtong, a blonde maid carrying a cigarette stick, heard what she said and looked up at this side.

When he saw the witch standing under a laurel tree, Kiri's body stiffened, and the cigarette stick in his hand unconsciously fell off his hand and fell to the ground, and his calm mood rarely caused a trace of panic.

"Yo, it's Tong! I didn't expect you to be here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've grown up a lot. ”

Hanabi saw Kiri, and although she hadn't seen her for hundreds of years, she was only the only maid in the shop at the time, which left a deep memory for her.

"Spirit... Reimu-sama. Kiri, with a rare hint of panic on her face, but also a hint of surprise, looked at the smiling fireworks approaching, and then stood in front of her.

Hundreds of years have passed, and she was only half the height of the person in front of her, and she has grown up to be the same height as her, but the traces of the years have not left a trace on the witch in front of her.

It's still the same as when I first saw her two hundred years ago.

Is she really human?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tong actually divided his mind and doubted the race of the person in front of him.

It took more than two hundred long years to disappear without a trace, so much so that she began to believe what those people said, "Because all human beings have a short lifespan, even if they have that terrifying power, they may have died in that corner."

But this man appeared in front of her inadvertently, and undoubtedly slapped them in the face.

But if you know that this person is still alive, it will definitely turn the world upside down.

Or is there already chaos outside, but the news hasn't come yet?

"Welcome to this Flower Pavilion, Reimu-sama. After all, he regained some calm, and said nervously.

"Hey, what a cold name! I used to call my sister. ”

Hanabi sighed, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes that seemed to have been hurt.

"Please don't be kidding, Reimu-sama!" said Kiri gritting his teeth as he raised his forehead, instantly remembering the bad memories of being harassed by the people in front of him.

Forced to rub his face, forced to be played high, forced to be put on a tree to watch himself shiver...
