Chapter 35: Another Story
Most of the urban legends, urban weird stories, and urban mysteries in the outside world should be caused by coincidences or rumors, and they are not as magical as imagined, and even Gensokyo where strange stories are gathered, it is not necessarily that there are strange factors behind every strange thing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It can be regarded as a logical explanation for the vampire to stun the person for several days after stealing the fish, and it is also a reasonable explanation for the fact that Mr. Jing Yi himself directed and acted in order to make fun of the editor's lady, and even spent a lot of effort to arrange the hospital nurse properly, and it can even be considered that Mr. Jing was teased by a hypnotic master, which is also a valid explanation.
Therefore, it is quite arbitrary to categorically put the criminal's hat on the missing vampire sisters.
"At the moment, it seems impossible to deduce a more specific situation without other decisive clues," I said before the cold field fell, "It doesn't matter if I can't find the clue to the crossing, I'm quite satisfied with the strange story." ”
"You're so rude Alice," Patchy squinted, "treat other people's personal experiences as if they were weird talk, and you'll repay their trust like that." ”
"It's not that exaggerated...... Miss Aosaki broke out in a cold sweat again.
"I'm sorry for that," I quickly apologized, and then raised new expectations, "Is there anything else that happened to Miss Aosaki besides this strange incident?" Talk to the learned witches and shrine maidens. ”
"Well, I think you're looking forward to strange things more...... Miss Aoizaki said, and then responded, "If I want to say that I can still remember the details of the strange incident, it's probably the only one, maybe I also encountered strange incidents when I was a child, but after so many years, I basically can't recall the general situation, it's really hard to say." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't, it was originally a whim to investigate the possible reason for the crossing, and I was mentally prepared for no results."
"I was a little curious before, listening to the meaning of the two of you, there are often those who appear inexplicably here, outsiders?"
"It's often not going to be talked about, but if it's frequent, there will be dozens of them a year, right? The data is not very reliable purely based on impressions, and there are not many of them, and Gensokyo's location on the earth is a bit strange, and if you have to designate a location, you can see that it is located in the mountains and forests in the northeastern part of the Japanese island. In the past, outsiders who had gone to Gensokyo were not very concerned about this issue, and they would usually ask the shrine maiden to leave immediately. ”
"If I could, I would have made a request to leave......"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just a newcomer and haven't mastered all the abilities of my predecessor. Speaking of which, Miss Aozaki was the first alien lost person I met after I became a shrine maiden.,So I might have a little more to say, so don't be surprised.,Next time if we can meet again, I don't think I'll be interested in the reason for the crossing.。 ”
"Also, will there be a next time......
"I don't know, I seem to have seen an outsider who got lost in Gensokyo more than once, although the outsider itself is mysterious enough."
"Well, that's it, but I think Gensokyo is a very good place, and it's good to come and relax once in a while."
"Next time, if you meet the beast first, you won't feel wonderful." Actually, I used to think that it wasn't a wonderful experience to meet Sakiya in the first place, but what happened to Miss Aozaki made me realize that I was biased, maybe I was misled by the gossip tabloids, maybe because the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion Lori was not at home.
“……”
"Uh, joke after joke, not to mention how low the possibility of getting lost a second time is, even if the crossing location is near the edge of the most dangerous enchanted forest or in the depths of the grave, as long as you take care to avoid the mischief of the goblins and run towards a place with an obvious path, you will always find a shelter like Mistya's hut or an abandoned mansion, and the possibility of being eaten by the beast goblin is not so great."
"The more you say that, the more frightening it becomes!"
"Don't worry, this lost experience hasn't passed yet, I'm worried that next time it's too early, and the shrine maiden is not just for people to worship."
"Okay, okay."
I saw Patchy squint again, as if to scare the guest with her eyes accusing me of talking too much nonsense.
"But after Miss Alice's scare, I was reminded of another story, the story that my grandfather told me as a secret when I was a child, and I still don't know if it's true."
"Oh! Let's listen to it, and we'll help you judge and analyze it. ”
"One analysis is shocking......"
After complaining, I have to continue to speak, "That's right, when I was young, my father and mother were busy with work, and I was placed in my grandfather's house in the countryside, and until the fifth grade of elementary school, I went to the public elementary school in the town. At that time, well, the sky was blue, the mountains were verdant, the grass was green, the streams were clear, and the environmental protection work in the countryside far from the chemical plant was still in place. ”
……
"I'm sorry for the distance, but my grandfather and I only lived in my grandfather's house in the countryside, and I only asked my grandfather when I was very young, where my grandmother went, and I can't remember clearly how my grandfather told me, but I think my father died of illness before graduating from college. At that time, there were many entertainment projects in the countryside, catching loaches, fishing, wild adventures, and even hunting with my friends, but my favorite was listening to my grandfather's stories, I heard, just heard, he was a magazine columnist for a while when he was young, and he specialized in writing weird stories. ”
Is this to prepare in advance for the falsification of the story, and to give us a vaccination by the way?
"The opportunity to hear that story has something to do with someone else's grandmother.,At that time, our village、Uh、Probably the grandmother of the guy named Taro.,I heard that when I was a child, I was a young lady from a wealthy family in the city.,After the war, for various reasons, the family fell into the middle of the road.,The family married her to a landowner in the countryside.,Ah, these are not the point.,Taro's grandmother seemed to have a lot of knowledge when she was a rich lady.,After coming to the village, she was famous for being good at making all kinds of snacks.,Oh.,All my friends, including me, like Taro's grandmother., Because she used to cook a lot of delicious things to share with everyone, well, I remember that I often got the most shares, maybe because I was so cute when I was a child. ”
I think the reason is quite obvious.,And it's not just because Miss Aosaki was cute in the Lori era.,Miss Aosaki still remembers the name of her grandson after many years.。
"Because I often get delicious food, I、Not only me, everyone is very envious of Taro has a capable, kind and generous grandmother, once I got a lot of sweet tofu flowers to take home and eat with grandpa, I said to him I really want to have such a grandma, but grandpa suddenly became sad!"
One of the natural skills of children is to make adults upset.
"Then he told me the story of his youth, and asked me to promise not to reveal it to my father, of course, I immediately raised my hand and promised not to reveal half a word, in fact, I didn't take it seriously at all, I felt that it didn't matter if I kept it secret or not, anyway, my father wouldn't come to ask me what story I heard from my grandfather, but after listening to it, I still subconsciously kept it secret and never told anyone else."
"Huh?" Hearing this, I had to speak, "Is it really okay to just tell the secret that I kept from my father?" ”
"I think the strange things I encountered are strange enough, grandpa's story is a bit strange but there is really no need to keep it secret, since I think about it, I always feel uncomfortable not to say it, and grandpa only needs me to keep it secret from his son, he actually just wants to save a little face."
