The long silky emerald green hair was draped down, slightly covering some of the cheeks that looked a little pale but still rosy, and the small but delicate facial features were beautifully distributed on the blown-out skin, which made people hold their breath. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA frog-like hairpin is no longer in the hair, giving the owner a little playful and cute, and at the same time, it also complements the witch costume that is obviously improved and even a little exposed, bringing out the temperament of the whole person. It seemed that he heard the small exclamation from Maren's mouth, and his two clear eyes looked this way, with enough humility and a trace of incomprehension: "Excuse me, two guests from afar, huh...... Is there anything on my face?"

“…… I'm sorry. "Staring at a lady's face for a long time is undoubtedly a very rude act. Recovering from the shock, Mullen hurriedly apologized, then took two steps back and tugged Patrick's sleeve to calm down his performance, "We...... Well, well, I'm sorry I don't use any fancy words to praise women, but you're so beautiful that we both indulged in it, and even now we're a little nervous. Excuse me...... Aren't you really an angel?"

Mullen's explanation seems to be understood. Smiling and shaking her head, the hostess replied softly: "The two of you have praised it." Naturally, I'm not an angel, I'm just a shrine maiden who serves Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama. If they are really chosen by God to become angels, I am afraid that the two adults will cause a big accident at that time. So, who are the two of you?"

Maren Owen is an electronics engineer. This is my good friend, Patrick Dirk, a famous explorer. ”

"Ah, sure enough. Madame is always more capable than me......" At this time, the priest of the shrine suddenly showed a bitter face, "What is like me, the shrine finally came to two guests, but only did some stupid actions to arouse suspicion......"

"No, no, no, Mr. Priest, you misunderstood, we didn't want to suspect you. But when you're out and about, you're always wary...... "Although he was speaking to the priest, Maren's eyes still glanced at the shrine maiden from time to time. Suddenly, Patrick tugged his sleeve. Knowing that he had to say something to suppress his friend's excitement, Mullen sighed helplessly and smiled apologetically at the two people opposite, "That's ...... Can you let my friend and I go over there and talk something? His Japanese isn't very good, so I thought I'd have to explain the situation to him...... Ah, by the way, Mr. Priest, if you can, can you please help you sort out the two empty rooms you mentioned earlier?"

"But," said the priest, still worried, "don't you feel unsure, after all, this is a stranger's residence, and besides, there is no one around......

"Since you're able to say that, I think that's enough to win our trust. "Even if you are a murderer of money, such an interesting situation is in front of you, and you must take the risk to ask the question clearly. I couldn't help but look at the shrine maiden twice, and while thinking so, Mullen replied, "It's hard to pretend to be true simplicity and sincerity. ”

"In that case, I'll tidy up the room for the two of you...... Ah, before I do that, I have to send my wife back to her room......"

"It seems that you have just added a new piece of food to your family, and that is really a good thing to congratulate, no wonder Mr. Gang was so happy on his face. Please forgive me for my rudeness, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Please don't talk like that. Actually, even if you don't ask, I want to show off to the two of you. The priest's last sentence drew a sneer from the woman. Smiling and apologetic, he answered Mullen's question, "Girl." It's very similar to her mother. When I grow up, I will definitely be able to become an excellent shrine maiden like my mother. ”

"Congratulations again. So don't disturb the young lady's rest for the time being, let's go there and talk. ”

Gragging Patrick's sleeve, Mullen nodded as he walked towards the shrine's inner sanctum. When the figures of the two men disappeared from view, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a drop of sweat left from his forehead. Seeing this, Patrick took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the other party: "You had a good conversation with them?"

"It's just a general pleasantry. You know, that's the kind of work I'm not good at. Shaking his head with a wry smile, Mullen wiped the sweat from his face. Without waiting for the other party to speak first, he lowered his voice and asked, "So, Patrick, what do you think?"

"What else can you think? This is evidence! Living evidence!" Hearing Mullen ask this sentence, Patrick's tone couldn't help but become excited, "Sanae of Dongfeng Valley, we have found this person! Just like you said before, Mullen, this information in our hands is indeed too old, so old that almost no one will pay attention to it. However, we already have three characters to match: Chiyuri Kita-Shirakawa, Yumemi Okazaki, and now the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine, who appears in the main work and cannot be excluded from this cultural brand in any way...... Ah, but of course, there are obviously still some problems, and Sanae in the work of Toshiyama has obviously moved to Gensokyo before getting married......"

"Could it be that something happened that caused the family to separate?" added Mullen, following Patrick's line of thought. In fact, his initial idea was whether the two would be separated because of emotional discord, and then the custody of the child was handed over to the man, but looking at the appearance of the two people just now, he really couldn't say such irresponsible words, "The age of all the characters in the work is a mystery, and this witch lady seems to have gone beyond the scope of human beings......"

"Mm-hmm, that's right, that's right!" Patrick's curiosity as an explorer has now been fully mobilized. While rubbing his hands, he let his eyes be full of eager eagerness, and put on a look of eagerness, "Gensokyo, Gensokyo! I really didn't expect that such a magical place really existed in the world! Thank God that I could be one of the witnesses of this great discovery in my lifetime! All common sense will be subverted!"

"Don't be too confident, Patrick. For some reason, seeing the other party's eager look, a sense of disgust rose in Mullen's heart. Especially when the other person says "all common sense will be subverted". What will be subverted? Nothing but certain areas that the average person has no access to. As it should be. After so many years of dealing with the data that the Ministry of Defense asked him to encrypt or crack, Mullen knew this kind of thing quite clearly, "Think about it, Gensokyo said that if you can find it, you can find it? If this were the case, someone else would have discovered it a long time ago." Besides, in the current situation, Miss Sanae has no intention of going to Gensokyo, what if she doesn't know how to get there now? And if she does, then how can she tell you? As far as my personal experience is concerned, that place should be more repulsive to outsiders - like the ancient cannibal tribes of Africa. ”

“…… Heh, hehe," suddenly laughed, and Patrick slapped Mullen on the back so hard that the latter stumbled and almost fell, "What, dear Mr. Mullen, aren't you beginning to admit that the work is a prophecy of the future? I can finally be honest with my feelings......"

"Ahh Scratching his hair irritably, Mullen nodded, "There are so many coincidences in this matter, especially when such a beautiful woman actually appears in real life...... I must admit that maybe it was really a prophecy...... But Patrick, can you tell me, you...... Why are you so obsessed with finding Gensokyo? Normally, you're not interested in anything of this magnitude, right?"

After being asked this question, Patrick was silent for a moment. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and met Mullen's eyes: "Okay Mullen, I think it's time to talk to you about this matter too...... In fact, there is a rumor that Yumemi Okazaki disappeared and that she actually went to Gensokyo. ”

Yumemi Okazaki...... Go to Gensokyo?ah, yes, that's exactly what it was mentioned in that work. It seems to be collecting some kind of data. Despite his best efforts to conceal it, there was still an obvious abnormal fluctuation in Mullen's voice, "And then, what does your purpose have to do with that guy?"

"What does it matter? Of course it does, Mullen. Smiling, Patrick said, "Haven't you always loved her, and I'll die if I don't let you untie the knot that has lasted for nearly forty years." ”

“…… Stop talking nonsense, Patrick. Without immediately saying no, Mullen gritted his teeth and glared hatefully at the floor for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Love, she, the guy who is in the same boat as Chinese, don't make such an uncomfortable joke......"

"You should have listened to her explain that matter. I believe there is something inside......"

"Explanation? What else is needed to explain?! What she did has already said everything!" Pulling away the hand that Patrick was trying to put up, Mullen suddenly shouted, and her voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the shrine, "She is defending the Chinese, defending, do you know!? If she is a scholar who is often involved in politics, it may be understandable, but she has never been involved in politics, except for those few defenses for the Chinese! In the face of such obvious evidence, she actually tried to defend those rioters' Clearing up grievances,' can't even show any evidence? Ha, she completely insulted the name of 'Okazaki Yumemi'! Looking at the way she couldn't say a word when she was refuted at the time, it was simply a bankruptcy of logic and intelligence!"

“…… What a non-frank guy......"

"There's no question of being honest or not!Yes, I'll admit it, Yumemi Okazaki did be my spiritual support during my toughest days, but that long since then!" Patrick's helpless expression provoked further anger. Waving his fist angrily, Mullen said with a hideous face, "Since the moment she fell to the point of being in the same stream with the Chinese, she has been the most despised guy in my world! If you are looking for the so-called Gensokyo with this boring idea, please stop as soon as possible, because it is meaningless! After seeing that person, I don't think I have anything else to do except spit in her face mercilessly!"

“…… In other words, if you can," in stark contrast to the other party's annoyed and angry posture, Patrick said lightly, "You, still want to meet Yumemi Okazaki?"

“……”

It should have been denied immediately. It must be denied immediately. Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting it......

"Don't get into the horns anymore, Mr. Mullen. This matter, except for yourself, is already known to everyone around you. Seeing that Maren was silent, Patrick looked serious, "Do you know why Marina divorced you?" She loves you, more than anyone else in the world, but she's not big enough to make her love completely selfless. She couldn't stand the pain......"

“…… Enough is enough for Patrick. There's really something wrong with your brain. Really ......"

"Yes, yes, I have a problem with my brain, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to bother with you as a non-frank fellow. Patting Mullen on the shoulder, Patrick shrugged, "If you can, Mullen, think about what I'm talking about, is it okay? It's hard to accept that, and there's even a possibility that I'm wrong." It's been a long time, it's been too long, too long, and I dare to assert here that if you still can't break off with your past self in the same way that you overcame the psychological barrier to Chinese, your work will ...... There will still be no progress. ”

"Why are you talking nonsense with such an easy face? The muscles on his face were almost crumbled, and Mullen had an expression of sadness on his face that he had never seen before, "Oh God...... Why are you able to talk nonsense with such an easy face. I didn't have to see the red-haired woman at all, not at all, she betrayed ......"

"Two guests?" Before Mullen could finish, a familiar voice sounded from behind Patrick. Unexpectedly, it wasn't the priest, but the shrine maiden who was forced by the priest to go back and rest. At this time, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly locked, and she had a worried expression, "Well, I'm really sorry to disturb you...... However, just now I heard a heated argument......"

"It's not a big deal, Miss Sanae of Toshigaya. Perhaps because he was upset, Mullen subconsciously called out the name that the other party hadn't told them yet, "just a little skirmish between friends......

"Uh...... Sorry, but Sanae is in ...... Call me?"

"Ah, forgive me for being abrupt. Realizing that he had to explain, Mullen patted his forehead, "That's it, we're ......"

"No, sir, I wonder if you have recognized the wrong person?" In front of her, the shrine maiden's expression began to be confused, "I...... Indeed, it is the surname Dongfeng Valley, but Sanae's words...... It's not my name......"
