Gensokyo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yakumo house.

If you talk about the degree of mystery, it is estimated that there will be no other life form in Gensokyo that compares to Yakumo Murasaki, a monster sage who claims to be "forever seventeen years old" (idler?). up. As the creator of the legendary Gensokyo, a major player in the two lunar "wars", a key figure in the current connection between Gensokyo's various forces against foreign enemies, and a variety of other identities that sound remarkable – at least for Gensokyo's inhabitants – she has managed to win the awe of most youkai and humans. There are also various rumors about the residence of this "girl", some people claim that the Yakumo family should live in an abandoned village at the foot of Yokai Mountain, a place called the "Lost House", the reason is that Yakumo Murasaki's Shikigami is the cat demon Yakumo Orange often jumps out from there, and some people say that the location of the Yakumo family should be in the black "gap" that accompanies her every time she appears, and there is also a saying in Bata Aqiu's "Seeking Knowledge", It is the Yakumo family, like Hakurei Shrine, which is built on the "realm between Gensokyo and the outside world". After the collapse of the Great Barrier, the statement that the latter was next to the present world was proven to be completely false, and the exact location of the Yakumo family became even more confusing.

After the meeting from the small black room of the Red Devil Pavilion, Yakumo returned to this mysterious location and sat on a sofa that looked very comfortable with her eyes closed. For a youkai with hibernation habits, this period of exertion and Gensokyo's gradually decreasing temperature posed a huge challenge to her body's biological clock, so much so that she had to squeeze out all the time she could to rest like this to make sure that nothing would go wrong when it came to her business.

However, many people may have a similar experience: when you are working, you feel tired, but when you have time to rest, you find that your brain can't stop at all. Right now, the Yokai Sage was in such a state: although she wanted to take a nap or even get some sleep, the thoughts that kept tumbling in her head kept her awake at all. There was no choice but to look at what she had done "recently" in her mind over and over again.

Tomorrow...... What new information can you know? Can all questions be answered?

Opening his eyes, Yakumo Zi looked at the familiar ceiling above his head and suddenly smiled. All your questions answered? I'm a little too greedy. Not to mention anything else, it is unknown whether Ge Yiwei and his party can reach the Earth Spirit Hall safely. Even if you arrive at the Earth Spirit Temple and know something, the mysteries left to you will only grow.

The more you know, the more confusing you become, because there is no standard for judging that the information you are getting is incorrect or incomplete. The emotion in her heart suddenly reminded her of a passage she had heard before that she didn't know who had said it: "Historical records are often vague, incomplete, and even wrong, but this has no effect: for the people of the present, the role of history is to prevent them from making similar mistakes, to avoid detours, and to gain insight into the development of a series of events through specific analysis." As long as the mixed truths in it can do the trick, why should we expect the history we get to be completely correct? ”

Ah, remembered. This is something that Ge Yiwei mentioned in an argument with Kamibai Zehuiyin. The former seems to have audited a few times of Terakoya classes when he first entered Gensokyo. At that time, a question occasionally raised by a human child who didn't know whose family became the fuse of that debate, and the extreme pragmatist engaged in a war of words with Bai Zemon, who has an unimaginable love for history, which ended in Ge Yiwei using the sentence "Then Miss Bai Ze, isn't your ability to do fictional history homework?" According to your thinking, this in itself is a disrespect for history, right? "Huiyin was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Later, Ge Yiwei apologized in front of the door, so that this little turmoil calmed down.

I think that at that time, I still had some agreement with his words. However, this creates a contradiction: if you really agree with the other party, then you just need to accept the "vague and somewhat erroneous history" that you have obtained so far, and as for what the Great Barrier is, what is the purpose of the lie, and why the original youkai and gods must use this method to protect humanity, these questions are completely ignored. In this way, wouldn't what you do be meaningless?

Regarding this question, it was still her good friend, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple, who answered her: "Ah, you can't think like that, Purple." If you think about it, the 'history' that Xiaowei refers to is something that only provides lessons to be learned, and what you are seeking is still having a big impact today. In this way, it should not be called 'history', but 'truth'. ”

The so-called authorities are fans, and bystanders are clear, which should mean this.

"Huh?" Turning his head, I don't know when, a holographic screen popped out beside me. Isn't this device brought by Yakumo Zi from the outside world, but the equipment on the moon that Yayi Yonglin gave her: although she didn't want to admit it at the beginning, there is no doubt that the natural science system of the modern humans and the moon people based on empiricism and logical positivism is more inclusive than the existing magic theory, and the technology derived from it is relatively more universally practical, and even the spiritual power communicator is just using the spiritual power in the body/ Driven by magic, the basis for communication is still electromagnetic waves......

Thinking a little too much. It's a bit much. Looks like I'm really tired. Sighing faintly, Yakumo Zi stretched out his finger and swiped it lightly. Then, the door of the house opened with a "pop", and a ghost slowly "floated" in: "Ah Zi - people are so hungry - Demon Dream doesn't let people eat-"

"Ahra, it's Yuyuko." Looking at Yuyuko with an unhappy face, Yakumo Zi stood up from the sofa, "You actually came to Yakumo's house...... That's a rarity. You've never been to my house before......"

"Because there's nothing good to eat—it's better to enjoy the flowers in the White Jade Tower—" Floating like this, Yuyuko's voice sounded very weak, "Ah Zi has anything to eat—I'm hungry—"

"I don't have anything good to eat here. But where is Yume? ”

"Huh? yes, where is that kid gone? Yuyuko's face showed a somewhat confused expression, "Obviously, you were just behind you...... Oh, by the way, I think I was dragged by the owner of that restaurant......"

"You...... You're going to cause a lot of trouble to the demon dream, be careful that kid isn't the master of the White Jade Building. ”

"No, Ah Zi, Demon Dream she won't leave the White Jade Tower. Besides, Ah Zi can't say anything about me, you also caused a lot of trouble to Lan before, didn't you? She did a lot of things...... Be careful that she doesn't serve as your Shikigami anymore. ”

When they met each other's eyes, both "people" laughed. Perhaps they also feel that only when they are with the friend who has been known for an unknown amount of time can they really relax physically and mentally.

————————————————— Dividing Line———————————————————

"Isn't it a little too long to chat with Miss Dongfenggu?" Walking out of the room, closing the door, and looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Ge Yiwei scratched his head, "But the mood seems to be really much better......

At least, after waking up from that conversation, I was finally able to calm down and think about what to do. If you wake up and are dragged to a meeting, I'm afraid you'll lose your temper at the people around you, and that's a big problem......

"So, cheer up. After all, there's a lot more to it about. Walking in the long corridor made of bamboo, Ge Yiwei whispered to himself, "First of all, I want to check whether the recycling of the 'spacesuit' carried out by Miss Lingxian has been completed...... Alas, such a good thing was not brought with it when it came to our rescue. The Enchanted Forest is so big, I guess it's hard to find......"

It's a pity. If you have that outfit, even in the worst-case scenario, where only you and Gu Ming Dijue participate in the mission, the probability of success will be greatly increased. To put it bluntly, the current self is no different from a burden, because the opponent is a bug, and familiarity with modern equipment is not useful. It is estimated that Miss Feng Cong'er's so-called "need a more stable guy to be the leader of the team" is just to comfort me, and the main reason is that unreliable intuition......

Shaking his head vigorously, throwing this inferiority complex and negative thoughts out of his head, Ge Yiwei took out a strangely shaped object from his pocket. As for the reason why Yakumo Zi gave this thing to himself and the ultimate purpose of the other party, he already had some vague guesses in his heart. At this time, looking at the little thing in his hand, a feeling of sympathy actually rose in his heart.

However, if you share the same disease as the famous youkai sage, you must not be qualified enough.

"The surname Ge?" A somewhat familiar voice came from ahead. Putting the things in his hand back in his pocket, Ge Yiwei raised his head and stopped his steps, "Miss Fujiwara?" Can I help you? ”

At this time, Mei Hong was hugging her shoulders, leaning her whole body against the wall, and one foot was also on it, looking like she was waiting for him. Seeing Ge Yiwei stop, she also let her body go away from the wall, and then patted her hair: "There is indeed something, otherwise it wouldn't have stopped you." I want to say, ...... for tomorrow's mission."

"Ah, about tomorrow's mission, if you don't come, I'd like to go to you." Finding that Mei Hong and himself seemed to be talking about the same topic, Ge Yiwei hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, "Miss Fujiwara, I have a request I don't know if you can agree." ”

“…… I'm really sorry, but if it was something else, I would have said yes. Mei Hong shook her head, "It's not a small thing to go through, you and I should be at least half friends, but only in this matter ......"

"I want you to quit tomorrow's mission, okay?"

"I have to quit...... Ay? Hearing the other party's words, Mei Hong looked at Ge Yiwei in surprise, "What did you just say?" ”

"I mean, I want you to be able to quit tomorrow's mission, okay?"

“…… It's strange why the leader of your task would take the initiative to ask qualified candidates to withdraw? Confirming that she heard correctly, Mei Hong was a little strange, "As usual, everyone should be allowed to join, right?" ”

"Of course not." Hearing this, Ge Yiwei shook his head with a smile, "There is also a saying that there is a phase in this kind of thing." Some people are suitable for stealth, but some people are suitable for picking up guns and rushing forward, and you have to fight positional warfare with special forces or seek death, because the latter is not the material for this kind of task, and engaging in surprise and decapitation operations behind enemy lines is what they should do. ”

"That said, you don't think someone like me is out of the art of diving into a mission of this more challenging level?"

"Don't be so prickly when you speak, I've never said that. It's just that I think you should be able to exert your maximum combat power in the form of an immortal bird, right? In this case, it is better to put you in the frontal battlefield to play a greater role. Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little angry, Ge Yiwei hurriedly explained, "After all, the huge firebird is too conspicuous. Of course, I'm actually having a headache right now, because if you look at the Zerg that have a so-called spiritual network described in those literary works, basically as long as one is discovered, it will be completely surrounded, and in this case, there is nothing stealthy or not, you have to kill all the way to it...... So I also had a hard time making trade-offs, so I thought about it for a long time......"

“…… Uh, sorry, it seems that my words are a bit extreme. Looking at Ge Yiwei who was holding his forehead, Mei Hong patted the other party's shoulder, "Don't worry about me...... But I really don't want to participate in this mission. ”

"It's fine. Originally, I was going to apologize to you for the Mongolian incident, so I will settle this matter in both ways. Strangely aware that he watched the other party make this kind of action like that between friends of the same sex without any sense of disobedience, Ge Yiwei was stunned for two seconds before continuing, "But is there any special reason why you do this kind of thing?" I actually took the initiative to step back ......"

The expression on this ......'s face was a little sad, and Mei Hong smiled, "I'm really sorry...... Because, Huiyin she ...... She was seriously wounded in this morning's battle and is still unconscious in the operating room......"

"Teacher Kami-Shirasawa? How could she have been seriously injured? I remember that in the Ministry of Township Defense, she was not responsible for the task of screening and sorting out battlefield information? Could it be ...... Did someone put her on the front? Somewhat stunned, the expression on Ge Yiwei's face changed from surprise to anger, "Her ability is obviously not suitable for frontal combat!" How stupid would it be to make such a decision! I originally thought that after the battle with the PLA, Gensokyo's tactical level should be ......"

"She asked for it."

Mei Hong's calm voice stopped Ge Yiwei's roar. Frowning his brows and looking at the other party for a while, Ge Yiwei nodded: "That's the case...... If it's her own choice, then I don't have anything to say. But when she wakes up, I hope you can help me tell her, and I can understand the feeling she feels when others are fighting ahead and they can't do anything. However, Gensokyo's situation is not serious enough to have to send her to the front. If you can play a greater role in other places, don't ruin it all with just a momentary willfulness. This kind of sacrifice is heroic, but it is meaningless. ”

"It's really strict, surnamed Ge."

"Naturally. Mr. Kamibai Ze is a respectable historian, and at the same time, he also has a strong ability to distinguish the authenticity of information. Although it may be a bit rigid and impersonal......"

"But let me apologize again." With a long breath, Mei Hong continued, "I don't think as much as you do, but knowing that Huiyin is still lying in the operating room, I can't settle down to fight...... That said, not being able to participate in the mission was purely for my own selfish reasons. I ......"

"I've already said it's okay, take good care of your best friend." Putting his hand on his pocket, Ge Yiwei shook his head, "Besides, maybe the fewer people involved in this matter, the better." Who knows what kind of truth awaits us there......"

"Ah, I feel much more comfortable when I talk about it......" put his hand on Ge Yiwei's shoulder again, Mei Hong's expression was a little mysterious, "But the surname Ge, I think you should go and see Reimu first." She doesn't seem to be in a good mood. ”

"Up...... Manage? Ge Yiwei tilted his head, "What happened to her again?" ”
