Chapter 31: The Trap

It's the autumnal equinox, and Gensokyo has receded its vibrant green and put on autumn clothes that symbolize a good harvest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The animal path under Hakurei Shrine is full of wild flowers such as bellflowers, morning glories, and rosemary, and two figures pass through the wild path among the flowers.

Dressed in the unique blue robe of the Yakumo Clan, with nine shiny fox tails on the back, such an obvious feature, only the nine-tailed demon fox Yakumo Blue in Gensokyo can reach such a point, as for the two tails next to it, of course, it is Orange Meow.

Today, Yakumo Blue came to inspect the changes in Gensokyo as usual, and at the same time went to the eastern barrier to check if there were any loopholes.

In this reciprocating season, the girl walks in the countryside with an orange, her casual steps accompanied by a gentle smile.

A fallen leaf fell to her shoulder, and the girl stopped, pinched the black-brown petiole, and placed it in front of her.

"Autumn has arrived. ”

"Lord Lan, look, I've picked a flower. Orange held a pale pink flower and stretched out in front of Yakumo Blue.

Yakumo Blue lowered her head, and the petals of the flower were pale pink in the shape of a bell, with a round stem underneath, and tiny fluff extending from it.

Rubbing Orange's head, Yakumo Blue asked with a smile, "Do you know what the name of this flower is?"

Orange sniffed at the flower in confusion, sneezed, and the soft cat's tail stiffened violently, and then collapsed.

"Ahh ”

"Remember, orange, the name of this flower is hibiscus, which means toughness, and every time it withers for the next better bloom, so it symbolizes eternal beauty. However, these are all meanings given to it by people, and in fact, the hibiscus flower has other functions. ”

"Hibiscus is also a medicine, its flowers can be used to cool and stop bleeding, once you eat bad stomach, nausea can also chew petals to treat yourself. ”

"Wow, Lord Lan knows a lot. ”

"Hehehe, it's just that I usually read some books on herbal medicine, which is far worse than that of Lord Zi. Even so, Yakumo's face showed a look of pride.

"I envy Lord Lan, who is gentle, considerate, intelligent, and knows so many things. ”

"Orange also has to grow up quickly, and in the future, he will be like Lord Lan on his own, and Lord Purple will also give you Yakumo's surname. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lan, I will definitely live tenacity. ”

Yakumo Lan stroked Orange's head with relief.

In the grass in the distance, four figures were sneaking on the ground, peeking at the two people in the middle of the road through the gap in the grass.

"Hey, Reimu, does your fried tofu work, can you summon that fox? "More than half an hour ago, the four of them were ambushed here, and according to Reimu, they had prepared fried tofu cubes, and it stands to reason that foxes and cats have such a keen sense of smell, they must be able to smell the smell of the air.

However, Yakumo Blue in the distance held Orange in her arms, sorted her clothes and combed her hair like an adult, but she didn't go this way, and the patience of several people was about to wear out.

Reimu also gritted her teeth, she swore in front of several people that she would definitely be able to catch Yakumo Blue, but the fact left a solid slap mark on her face.

"No way, that fox obviously likes fried tofu so much, and he has no resistance to it at all. ”

"So what's going on now? The tengu girl lying on the edge had been adjusting the angle of the shot, but when her hands were sore, she hadn't even turned her head on the other side.

Several people quarreled in private.

At this time, Youmeng, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "I said, do you feel that the wind is in the opposite direction?"

“……”

At some point, their faces began to be baptized by the wind.

Reimu, Fujiwara, and Shotimaru fell silent.

"I'll just say it's not my problem at all. Knowing that it wasn't a problem that fried tofu was unattractive, Reimu suddenly became angry.

"Then who can't tell the difference between the southeast and northwest winds? ”

"It's been so long, and you two haven't even noticed it. ”

……

"Okay, stop arguing, now think about how to solve the problem. Fujiwara Ki sneaked out and found that Yakumo Blue and Orange were ready to leave.

Lingmeng, who was staring ahead, suddenly turned his head and reminded, "Wenwen, don't you have a fan that can fan the wind?"

"Ah, my fan, you don't say I forgot. Shooting Marufumi took out a fan that looked like a maple leaf on his side and slammed it in the direction of Yakumo Blue, and a gust of wind suddenly whistled by, and the surrounding trees began to rustle.

"Hey, it's too windy, and we'll be exposed again. ”

"Hmm? What does it taste like. ”

The voices of several people stopped abruptly, and sure enough, Yakumo Blue took the bait.

In the center of the beast road, holding Orange's hand, the wind suddenly rose in the mountains and forests, and the wind was mixed with his familiar smell, and Yakumo Blue sniffed in the direction where the wind was blowing.

Sure that the smell was his favorite fried tofu, Yakumo Lan finally couldn't help his curiosity.

"Orange, let's go over and have a look. ”

After saying this, Blue left the beast path with Orange, the grass on both sides of the road made it a little difficult for them to move, and through the dense woods, the two came to a tree.

Under the tree, a basket is laid bare, and the plate of fried tofu below is the source of the smell.

Orange immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Lord Lan, there is a plate of fried tofu." ”

Grabbing Orange, who was about to go over to investigate the situation, Yakumo Blue had a sneer on his face.

"Such a trap can only deceive the uncivilized beasts, Orange, and today I will teach you a lesson in life. ”

Yakumo Blue walked near the basket and gently touched the branch that supported the basket with a branch, and the simple trap was immediately arrested.

"See? Orange, this is the trap of humans. ”

"That's amazing!"

Yakumo Lan saw Orange's surprised expression, a smile appeared on his face, and he casually threw away the branch in his hand, feeling a little proud in his heart.

But after the branches hit the ground, an exaggeratedly large trap under the soft ground snapped shut, and Yakumo Lan looked at the trap that could almost reach a person's waist, and her brow jumped.

In the grass, the peeping Fujiwara Ki turned his head and asked exaggeratedly, "Hey, why don't I remember that I put such a dangerous thing." ”

"Ah, I put that. Shotimaru stuck out his tongue at Fujiwara and saluted.

"Respect to your sister, such a dangerous thing, what if it hurts someone. ”

"Don't worry, those are trivial to the monsters, and that kitten may suffer some skin trauma. ”

"If Orange is injured, won't we be dead?"

"Look, isn't that all right?"

Shotimaru said a few perfunctory words, holding the camera and continuing to take pictures of Yakumo Blue's side.

Eyes returned to Yakumo Blue, after the huge trap was closed, even she was startled, Orange hid behind Yakumo Blue, observing the surrounding situation through the slit in her arm.

"Don't worry, Orange, I'm here, it's fine. ”

Yakumo glanced left and right, sniffed the air, and took a step forward after confirming that there was no danger.

Immediately, though, she stopped.

"Lord Lan, what's wrong?" asked Orange Meow, puzzled.

"Look, cunning humans. Yakumo Blue took a step back and picked up a thin transparent thread from about his knee, which was connected to the branch above his head.

The two of them raised their heads, and in the hidden foliage, a dense rattan net hung above, and the blue thin line was gently pulled, and the net fell from the tree.

"Lord Lan is amazing. Orange once again exclaimed in admiration.

Yakumo Blue once again showed a smug smile

"Hey, Fujiwara, you've seen through your trap. ”

"I saw it, it seems that the trapping plan has failed, so let's leave as soon as we are not discovered. ”

"That. Youmeng said weakly, "Actually, I also secretly added something, maybe I can catch them too." ”

"Oh, well done, Yumu. Fujiwara gave a thumbs up to Youmu, "Youmeng, what did you prepare?"

"You can see it by looking at it, it should be there soon. ”

Yakumo Blue had already cleared all those nets, and only the basket was left in the clearing.

Blue blocked the orange behind and picked up the basket, and a thread on the basket broke.

"Huh?" Lan saw the broken thread and immediately stood up and paid attention to the movement around him, but the surroundings were still quiet and nothing happened.

Yakumo Lan exhaled.

Then, a shocking scene happened, and a bunch of cracks suddenly appeared on the ground nearly ten meters around Blue, and then the ground at the feet of Blue and Orange exploded, and then they disappeared into the deep cavern.

But that wasn't the end of it, as the ground collapsed, the surrounding trees began to rattle, and in just a second, they all fell to the deep pit in the ground.

There was a mess in sight.

Several people immediately focused their eyes on Youmeng.

"I can't see it, Youmeng. Fujiwara said.

"yes, I can't see it. Reimu nodded sympathetically.

Tengu silently raised the camera and took a close-up of the weak Youmeng.

"Woo, let me set such a trap, I've been struggling for a long time, and you still talk about me. ”

Fujiwara Nori said: "Well, although it feels like a bit exaggerated, but it's a good job, Youmeng." ”

"Yakumo Blue is in a catastrophe. Reimu sighed with emotion or regret, took out a bunch of charms, and walked towards the pit.
