The boy came to this place.

“・・・”

The sound of cicadas, the rustle of leaves as the wind blows, and...

"What about people you haven't seen before... Hey, are you blind?"

・・・When I first met the girl, I was full of vitality, but I didn't know how to ask politely.

Prologue: Summer Township

Gensokyo came an incredible man.

Although he was blindfolded with an eye patch, he unexpectedly seemed to be able to see the road clearly.

Although the villagers thought that this was another monster at first, as time went by a little, they slowly learned that this man, who probably had no eyesight, was a normal human being.

Knowledgeable, kind, always with a faint smile on his lips.

Although he wears black trousers, he also wears a long black cloak, and he is also equipped with three swords of different styles around his waist: a sword, a short sword, and a dagger.

But, a good person.

According to himself, his name is the Four Seasons, the Four Seasons of Seven Nights.

It's a man who has nothing.

It is said that when I was 'outside' in the past, I worked as an exorcist and other professions, and I killed vampires, dream demons, and so on.

So, after getting acquainted, the people in the world made a decision.

"Would you like him to be our sheriff?"

It is not known who originally provided this advice, but it was accepted.

After all, although there are already Fujiwara Meihong and the exorcists led by her to protect people's safety, it is true that in this Gensokyo, the one at the bottom is indeed human. Plus the estrangement of the immortal 'Penglai people', and some other things...

On the contrary, people are more willing to believe in a man who has just arrived, but unexpectedly, is a pure-blooded human being.

"Is it okay with my words? Miss Fujiwara's side is not good?"

"No, if it's Fujiwara-sama, it shouldn't matter, we'll talk about it, but please be sure to take this position"

"But..."

"Please promise us that as you can see, the people here have been plagued by youkai for a long time."

“・・・”

"Please, we don't want to see people die anymore"

"In that case, it's okay."

So, Seven Nights and Four Seasons, as a man who insisted on saying goodbye to his past, finally reluctantly agreed to the position of 'human umbrella'.

-- Of course, in the beginning, people didn't know what a powerful umbrella they had found.

Although you can see that Shiki is a strong guy by looking at the appearance.

But in the minds of the villagers, the other party is just an ordinary kendo or something.

As a result, they have always been eager to be protected and hoped to be protected by a powerful person, but when their umbrella was drawn for the first time, they were completely frightened.

That is, Shiki's first job since coming to this Gensokyo.

The time was the first weekend after becoming a 'sheriff'.

Shiki, as always, went to a half-demon school to help.

Although Fujiwara Meihong spoke ill of each other as always, Shiki still smiled and was happy, and endured the poisonous tongue this time.

In the end, Mei Hong, who was still confused by the temper of this good gentleman, finally gave up the sarcasm of the four seasons again.

"You can't talk back a little bit, okay?"

"No, in a sense, a lot of things you said may be right."

"Huh?"

"Unkind, ruthless, full of lies, no one in sight and the like"

“・・・”

"So, it's okay"

Mei Hong didn't understand at all, this person was too good-tempered, and he was really optimistic to the point of lack of heart.

Even she thinks that what she says is excessive, and most of them simply choose a random word and scold it.

As a result, Shiji's excessive self-examination made her feel guilty.

[Wouldn't it be too much for that guy?]

She even thought so, rarely.

But every time he showed this meaning, the four seasons smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

"Where You Don't Know I'm a Sinner"

“・・・”

"Besides, I borrowed my name, and I didn't have any of my own, but I grabbed it."

“・・・”

The smile was so hearty, it wasn't a bitter pleasure at all.

[Sinners?]

Thinking of this, Mei Hong smiled bitterly.

"You say you're a sinner, but I'm not a sinner."

“？”

"No, it's nothing, what's the point, do you mean to fight?"

Mei Hong raised her head defiantly, her red eyes were full of war.

"Fight?"

"Yes, after helping Huiyin, let's go to a fight, and the loser should be invited to drink, how about it?

"But I don't like violence."

Shiki's expression is the perfect wry smile.

But Mei Hong didn't let him go.

"Don't escape, if you escape, you'll be an enemy for life, what? Do you choose to be hated to death by a Penglai person, or do you have a good fight with me and make friends?

“・・・”

There was no choice, so, only a nod.

"Got it if you wished"

After that, after helping Huiyin finish finishing the work such as tidying up, the two of them went to the center of the human power in the voice of the teacher complaining vigorously but not stopping it.

There is a small square built here for some unknown purpose, and in the past, there were no people, but today, there are many people.

Something happened, and everyone rushed over, and then they formed a circle, and only separated after the two men came, and let the two pass. Then, it quickly closes again.

Seeing this, Shiki understood that he was probably calculated by the girl in front of him.

"Do you already know I'm going to be back?"

"Of course, because I've already said that"

Mei Hong walked to a section of the venue easily, and then, moved her hands and feet.

"--Because of the venue, it is still forbidden to attack on a large scale, but it seems that I have suffered a little bit."

"Got it - don't you use the spell card rules?"

Four seasons, I still know a little bit about things here.

For example, one of the shrines doesn't do anything, you have to use spell cards to fight, and you don't allow you to kill people without a match...

"Well, I think it's better not to use it first, after all, it's not really a decisive victory, just to see each other's abilities"

"Well, I'll try to be careful."

"Cut, you say that you are very strong, are you not modest in terms of strength?"

Mei Hong smiled.

Looking at her appearance, she doesn't have malicious intentions, and she wants to make Shiki embarrassed in front of people.

So, let's help him stand up and something...

[Thank you...

It's just that it's really redundant.

Shiki couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Seeing his abilities, humans will only be afraid.

However, when the time comes, it is impossible to say "no" now.

He hesitated, and then, Shiki reached out and grabbed the handle of the Taidao under his cloak.

"So, let me ask, what will happen if I don't fight?"

"It's nothing, I'm just chasing you to death - be careful!!"

The crimson wind blew from in front of you.

Dodge.

Dodge, dodge again.

The blindfolded, slightly longer-haired assassin walked in spider steps through the gaps in the flames.

"Hidding!!"

Mei Hong laughed loudly in the flames.

The crowd of onlookers immediately ran out again and watched from a farther away.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about accidental injuries of fireballs, which are several times more than expected. Densely hit from the front, making people a little bit numb.

"Hey, hey—"

Shiji's face was bitter, but he still had time to joke.

"--If it's cooked, it's not good, don't be so ruthless."

"What are you kidding, then you have to hit it - it's going to be on!!"

This time, a wall of fire.

As if he had to force out the strength of the four seasons, the wall of flames several meters high surged rapidly, leaving no room to dodge at all. The blindfolded teenager couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"You're kidding... I've hit it, so let's talk about it..."

In an instant, the knife was drawn.

There was a sharp metal grinding sound, and then, the long knife was unsheathed.

The blade brought the wind, and in an instant, out of the sheath was a shining sword press.

The essence of the qi thing broke the wall of fire in an instant, slashing the flames into a trail, and then, the black-clothed swordsman flashed from it.

Swing three swords, but this time, there is no sword pressure.

After all, the four seasons are not really sword masters, although they are extremely talented, but it is precisely because they are not specialized in one piece, so in the use of swords, only the unsheathed drawing of the sword can achieve that kind of level.

But, that's enough.

After all, the hole cards that the four seasons rely on are not really brilliant sword skills, but something else.

Rushing forward close to the ground, just for a moment, with billowing smoke behind him, Shiki had already killed the red girl.

"General?"

Swing your sword against the girl's chest.

However, Mei Hong still smiled.

It's wild, it's a chic smile.

"Hah, yes... But that's not all, right?"

【What?】

Shiki didn't react for a moment.

"Mean, you guy- at the very least, take off your blindfold for me!!"

Erupt.

The ring of fire expanded in an instant.

The young man, who didn't have time to dodge, could only quickly cross his arms in front of him and take a blunt blow.

The thrust pushed him back into his original position, but fortunately, the cloak and clothes were all special products with special resistance, and they did not break down because of this.

"--That's true, so it's a phoenix or something."

"It's not a phoenix, it's just a Penglai person"

"It's just...

Can the people of Penglai still be called? Shiki is not a guy who has never heard nursery rhymes, Princess Taketori, Moon Rabbit, Immortal Man or something, it's impossible not to know.

Even, envied.

So, really, really.

Shiki felt a wave of powerlessness.

"Do I have to get to that point? Honestly, I'm dying?"

"Huh?"

"It looks like there's still some energy left over to be true, but, to put it mildly, I'm going to take off the blindfold, but what about the monster... Even so, is it okay?"

Asked seriously.

Because this expression was too serious, Mei Hong was stunned for a moment. Then, there was a solemn nod.

"Of course, if you're a friend, do you know each other basically—what, or is it a secret that even friends can't tell?"

She glanced around at the people around her who were still watching, but were already whispering excitedly.

"Or are they?"

"No, it's not... You're right, so let's get acquainted."

Reaching out, Shiki pulled the blindfold.

"Remorseful Me"
