Chapter Twenty-Four: An Exit with Marisa

"Ah, Yumu, I'm going to the Forest of Magic with Marisa today, you don't have to be together. ”

Fujiwara Noriki put the lunch box from the outing into the bag and said to the worried Youmu.

It's been a long time since the summer festival feast, and after the feast, all the girls are happy.

I met Alice at Xianglin Hall that day, and after being reminded by the other party, Fujiwara Kiki realized that he had dragged the matter for nearly three weeks.

It's not intentional, though.

In the past three weeks, Fujiwara Kiki's memories are that Youmu came over crying one day, saying that Yuyuko-sama had done something very excessive, but when asked what was the specific thing, Youmu refused to say anything.

However, Youmeng didn't come specifically to Fujiwara Ki to cry, because of the Bon Festival in the human village, when sacrificing to the ancestors, many ghosts thought that the descendants were sacrificing themselves, so they came down to the world, and some just took this opportunity to run out to play, and the task of Youmeng was to bring these ghosts back.

When the spring snow changed, Reimu Marisa and the others destroyed the barrier of the underworld, although Yakumo Purple repaired, but the boundary between the underworld and the yang world still became thinner, and if Youmu didn't pay attention, they would run here to play.

Fujiwara Noriki is also the court master of the Saigyoji family, so he also has to take on the task of recalling the ghosts. The human villages in Gensokyo are not only one in the world, such a large area, I don't know when I want to find them one by one.

Fortunately, Yuyuko-sama took this into account and borrowed the Human Soul Lantern from the underworld, which is a prop specially used to lure ghosts, which can ignore distances and obstacles, and as long as it is lit, it can be seen no matter how far away. (See the new third episode of Oriental Xianglintang for details)

These days, Fujiwara Ki carries a lamp and wanders around Gensokyo.

Running around with lights in the daytime, and people can also see the ghost behind Fujiwara Kiri, this matter has also spread in the world, and rumors have begun to increase, and the guard team has also talked to him, but with the guarantee of Huiyin Teacher and Fujiwara Meihong, this matter is only limited to rumors.

Anyway, that's the way it is, Fujiwara Ki has been busy for so many days, and even the hermitage has closed, and Yamashita has been given a long half-pay vacation because of this, and Reimu and Marisa have come back many times in disappointment.

The only thing that is worrying is that after Fujiwara Ki came back again, the bamboo sticks given to him by Takeshita were gone, and Reimu Marisa and they didn't take it, and this thing disappeared, which seemed to be related to Takeshita.

And Takeshita has disappeared these days, and when Reimu was bored and came to squat, she never encountered it, and there was no trace of this person anywhere in the world, and her wife was unheard of.

Takeshita's storage zĂ i is also becoming more and more mysterious.

Thinking back to the present, after experiencing the [Ghost Queue in the Midsummer Day] reported by the text, the ghosts became fewer and fewer, and sometimes they couldn't see two or three a day, and the demon dream was temporarily idle and could stay in the human world for a while.

Today, I heard that Fujiwara Kiki was going to meet the magician who caused the riot that day, and asked for a companion, but Fujiwara Ki had already made an appointment to be accompanied by Marisa, so you know.

"Huh?" After being rejected by Fujiwara Kiri, the demon dream was a little strange, but Fujiwara Ki refused so firmly, it must be certain.

In the end, Fujiwara Noriki left the world alone and set off towards the Magic Forest to the west.

After passing through the gloomy forest, Fujiwara arrived at the Kiriyu Mansion.

Marisa's home is also a magic shop, and the Western-style bungalow has an outdated appearance, with moss growing on the pedestal under the eaves and vines crawling in the corners under the windows.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~~"

Standing at the door, Fujiwara suppressed a somewhat active heartbeat and knocked on the door, and the brown and yellow wooden planks made a dull dull sound.

Marisa's house is quiet, the windows are closed, and Fujiwara is distracted by observing the details outside the house.

Feeling as if she had been waiting for a long time, Fujiwara shook her legs on tiptoe and lost her patience a little.

There seemed to be no one in the room, and Fujiwara was wondering if he would knock on the door again.

"Crunch-"

As Fujiwara hesitated, the door suddenly opened, revealing half of Marisa's head inside.

"Ah, Fujiwara Ki. ”

Marisa screamed in panic and retracted half of her head back into the house, "Wait a minute, I'll clean up the house." ”

"Huh?" Fujiwara Ki carried the things of today's outing, and stood at the door in a daze, only to hear the tinkling sound inside, as if something had fallen to the ground, and as the frequency of noise became higher and higher, the chaos tended to intensify.

After waiting for nearly five minutes, Marisa opened the door.

Today, Marisa has changed her outfit, although it is still black and white, but it is no longer the black vest top and black long skirt, but a dress, the chest and collar are white, only the abdomen and waist are black, and the skirt is white lace decoration.

Fujiwara's eyeballs were attracted by the girl standing in front of him, and he stayed in place like a fool.

Marisa tied her skirt with her hands and smiled shyly, and when she was alone, Fujiwara Kiri realized that this girl was so cute.

"Morning, good morning, Marisa. Fujiwara Ki stared at the girl tightly, and she stammered a little when she spoke, well, I felt that the whole person was excited, and it was my first date, a date that I only talked about once in twenty years.

"Poof. Marisa covered her mouth, blushing, and scratched her hat, "It feels weird." ”

"Haha. Fujiwara Ki scratched his head and smiled, and said a little nervously: "Well, according to the previous appointment, I came to look for you." ”

"Hmm, an outing?" Marisa lowered her head with an intoxicating blush on her face, "So shall we go to Alice first or go on an outing first?"

"Let's go to Alice first, and after everything is settled, we can play with peace of mind. Fujiwara Kiti said.

"Well, let's go to Alice's first. Marisa didn't have any opinion and agreed.

Marisa was going to go to the house to get the gossip stove and broomstick, but Fujiwara Ki couldn't fly, so Marisa left them at home and slowly walked towards Alice's house.

On the path in the forest, there was only the sound of two people stepping on the branches of the trees, and in the quiet field, although the two did not talk much, they both fell into an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Click-"

"Be careful. ”

Marisa accidentally reached the small pit hidden under the leaves and almost fell, but Fujiwara Ki grabbed her hand.

"I, I'm fine. When Marisa stood up, Fujiwara still grabbed her hand.

"I'm afraid you'll fall later. Fujiwara held back his pounding heartbeat and said calmly.

"Whew-" Marisa blushed and walked away, bowing her head.

Alice's home was not far from here, and soon the two of them arrived at Margot Royd's house.

"Alice!" Magisa shouted happily at the door when she arrived at a familiar friend's house, and the girl became full of energy.

"Marisa?!"

The Shanghai doll opened the door, and then Alice walked to the door in surprise, but when she saw Fujiwara Ki holding hands with Mari Sarah, she groaned in despair and sat down weakly.

"Hand in hand, hand in hand, no help, no help......"

Alice hung her head, not knowing what she was reading, and strange question marks appeared on the heads of Penglai and Shanghai next to her.

"Alice, what's wrong with you? Marisa quickly helped her up and asked with concern.

Alice put her arm on Marisa's shoulder, raised her head, and looked at Marisa with a sad gaze, "Yes, Marisa, my heart hurts so much, I'm going to die, and I can't help it." ”

"Really?" Marisa nervously grabbed Alice's hand, and the other party's face flushed, and her eyes narrowed with pleasure - this was the gentleness that only belonged to Marisa.

But then, Marisa said, "Alice, you hold on, Fujiwara Ki, you come and help Alice to rest, and I'll go to the Eternal Pavilion to call the doctor." ”

Alice opened her eyes suddenly, left Marisa's shoulder, and said expressionlessly, "No, my illness is cured." ”

"Huh?" Marisa clutched her hat, not knowing what to do.

Alice stood up and walked a few steps, looking like she was fine, and Marisa complained, "Oh, Alice is fine, why are you still scaring me, really." ”

"Hmph. Alice snorted, her face calmed, and she entered the room with Fujiwara and Marisa.
