"Who is this?" Patchy spotted the twin ponytailed tengu floating in the air with a large package. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Haven't you seen it? This is the second celebrity of the Youkai Mountain Tengu Society, the second reporter of Gensokyo and the editor-in-chief of the Hanakoko Newspaper, Miss Ji Haitang Yuli. ”

"Second celebrity? Reporter No. 2 can't admit it either! Miss Yu Li, who got acquainted with people, seemed to be less shy, and she immediately retorted as soon as my introduction fell, "That guy Wenwen is insignificant, and he will soon be surpassed by me." ”

"Reporter?" Patchy stood up and patted the grass clippings and dust from her robe, "Miss Ji Haitang, good afternoon." ”

"Ahhh

"Just call me Pachouli, and if you want to do an interview, please make an appointment with my secretary, Little Devil."

"Oh thank you, I will!"

"Patsy, are you planning to go to Hakurei Shrine?" I asked.

"That's right." Patsy's complexion gradually returned to normal.

"This is what you call a special case? If it's something that doesn't matter, wouldn't it be convenient to ask Miss Sakiya to bring a letter with her in the morning? ”

"......" Patchy stared at me blankly for a while, avoiding the topic, I think she didn't intend to express her personal feelings because Reporter No. 2 was at the venue, but Miss Patchy doesn't like to express personal feelings on weekdays, "I don't want to say more if there is, I'm relieved to see that Alice is still in good spirits." ”

Miss Yu Li took a few photos of us with her mobile phone in the air, and since there was no invisible person, I let her fulfill her duties as a journalist without interference.

"You shouldn't have gone to Hakurei Shrine to find Reimu or Marisa, what are you looking for me? Besides, it doesn't seem like you're coming from the Red Devil Pavilion. ”

"Because I just went to Alice's Mansion in the Enchanted Forest." Patchy said.

“？” I asked, "What are you doing at my house?" ”

"Ahh So I decided to help you bring the doll material from home, and that's it! ”

"Yes, yes...... Then, there is the bothering of Laupaki. "I always thought that with Patsy's otaku personality, teaming up with Miss Sakiya to help me seek Yakumo's rescue was the most outrageous sport, but I didn't expect her care for her peers to be quite weighty.

"I said what kind of tsundere dialogue game are you playing!" Miss Hatachi shouted, "But it's not bad, and I've got a lot of material and inspiration." ”

"No, no, no, just kidding." Under the threat of my eyes, Reporter No. 2 gave up inspiration.

"Are these all the materials used to make dolls?" Miss Yu Li weighed the weight of the package, "I really want to see Miss Alice's doll making process, by the way, can I write a special report on this subject?" ”

"I don't think I'll be free these days," said Miss Alice, cheering up, as she planned to put the new doll production plan into action without further delay, "and you can come in a few days if you have the chance." ”

"You're such a nice man, Miss Alice."

"It's also good to promote puppet culture to drive the industrial chain and find and stimulate new economic growth points."

"I don't think it's going to have that kind of effect......"

"It doesn't matter."

The witch frowned, "You lack a sense of crisis and self-motivation, Miss Alice. ”

"Are there any other puppeteer characters planning to take my place? If you can perform a puppet show in the square of my master's house, I'd be happy to do it. ”

"That's not what I mean," she said after a moment's pause, "Do you know what makes Remi special?" ”

"What?" I'm scratching my head over the short witch's jumping problem.

"Answer truthfully."

"You mean Miss Remilia's personality traits? Or is it a competency trait? Elegant, impulsive, straightforward, disdainful of lies? ”

"It's still very clear-headed, Alice, these personality traits are very accurate, but these traits are not unique to Remi, anyone can have them. What makes her special is that she can see where her fate is going. ”

"Ah, I did."

"So you should understand how abnormal Remi's abnormal behavior was the other day."

Seeing fate means having some degree of certainty about the future, and I know of course that if Miss Remilia foresaw the death of Hakurei Reimu, why didn't she come to stop it? If she's like those big monsters and doesn't care about Reimu's life and death, why did she put me in the basement and torture me because of Reimu's death?

"I understand," I said, "Miss Remilia-sama must have foreseen Reimu's death." ”

"Yes, and she didn't mention it in the Red Devils, and remained silent until it happened."

"So she didn't interfere with me because she was afraid of standing on the opposite side of Purple? But in any case, killing Reimu was my fault alone, and whether or not Remilia interfered did not change the characterization of the fact that it had not been revealed or even that had been made, and it was not surprising that she blamed me. ”

"Wrong! If Remi didn't want the Witch of Hakuree to die, she would have violently intervened and sabotaged your operation at the very beginning of her foresight, but she didn't. But her subsequent imprison of you to vent her frustration shows that she does not care about the death of the Hakurei shrine maiden, which is a very strange contradiction, because Remi cannot be such a weak person, she cannot be afraid of Yakumo Murasaki, and you can summarize Remi's character, which is impossible to ignore. ”

"Does Patsy have any special insights?"

"That's why you lack a sense of crisis and self-motivation, anyone can realize that Remi's idea is not so simple, only you still don't care."

"Isn't it easy? But I don't think it's a big deal. "In the basement, I don't remember Miss Remilia acting too out of line. ”

"No big deal?" Patchy raised her voice a few degrees, "Can you remember what Remi said to you in the basement?" ”

"The memory at that time is also relatively vague, so most of them don't remember, she seems to have mentioned something? It shouldn't have mattered much, and then I didn't continue listening to it in a groggy way, and even if I did, I didn't make an impression. ”

"Didn't you remember anything more special?"

"Not really."

"Is that why you refuse to think about Remi?"

"If you have to do it, that's it." I was perfunctory.

"If Remi is going to kill you for reasons that no one can understand, do you refuse to think about it?"

"I'm sure it's not that bad, Miss Vampire won't care about it anymore after venting her anger."

"Alice, do you still think that Remi's purpose in imprisoning you is simply to vent? As I have already said, she is not such a weak person. ”

"No matter how strong and stubborn a person is, there will always be times when he compromises, even if Miss Remilia is as you say, then Miss Patsy, do you have any other opinions?"

"Yes."

If I had spoken to Miss Kanako, I might have empathized with Patsy's worries - but this was supposed to be my feelings and had nothing to do with Patsy, so I was very touched by Patchy's more worries than I did - and the conversation with Miss Kanako made me realize that there is no need to try to fully understand her when dealing with other people, even if they are good friends, and that what can be understood will naturally be revealed over time, and there is no need to force what cannot be understood.

Even if Miss Remilia-sama really had the intention of killing me, I don't need to care too much, if Yakumo Murasaki doesn't want to waste energy in a short period of time to find a replacement shrine maiden, she will help me resist Miss Remilia-sama's prying eyes, not to mention that if Miss Remilia wants to kill me, she will kill me in the basement as soon as she says, unless she really has some unspeakable reason to kill me by special means, as Patsy said, but this is really not a small probability possibility that I should care about.
