Chapter 6: The Origin of Gensokyo's Will
"It's time for me to go home and direct the fairies to take care of the garden, Miss Alice, please take care," Sakiya put away the bamboo basket and stood up to say goodbye to me, "Besides, the shrine maiden costume is unexpectedly a good match for you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Yes, yes? Also, it wasn't of my own choosing, and it wasn't my clothes, even though I made them myself...... "I choked the thought of looking in the mirror.
Seeing the perfect maid leave, I began to plan today's trip, thinking back to the ordinary daily life of Reimu in the past, getting up - in a daze - eating - very occasionally come to Alice's house in the Enchanted Forest (as far as I know, she never takes the initiative to visit Marisa's house unless there is something unavoidable to find Marisa, I think the reason is probably that Reimu can't stand the mess of Marisa's house, plus Marisa often takes the initiative to visit the shrine, Reimu's excuse for coming to my house is nothing more than mending clothes or customizing clothes, Mr. Rinnosuke's attitude towards this is probably very much in agreement and relieved), or go to serve the public with Suika (the main work is to be active and sincere Suika), or be invited by Remilia to the Red Devil Pavilion for tea and snacks, or go to the Eternal Pavilion to be checked by Yayi Yonglin (this seems to be Purple's request), or go to the shrine of Youkai Mountain to report to Miss Sanae (the purpose is probably to eat and drink), or deal with other emergencies, Actually, most of the time is spent in the shrine making a pot of tea and staying in a daze with Marisa (or watching Marisa perform a one-man show in a daze) - lunch - afternoon tea or in a daze or all the actions mentioned above and not mentioned - dinner - waiting for sleep - sleeping.
There are a lot of discrepancies, such as when the mutation happens, but that's generally the case, and it's all summed up from what I've observed on a daily basis and what I've mentioned in casual conversations with Marisa.
Do I need to make a rehabilitation plan based on the above itinerary? I felt a lot more relaxed after talking to Miss Sakiya, so there was no need to stay at the shrine for a few more days. However, when I was just an ordinary puppeteer and not a shrine maiden - even now I can't be considered a pure shrine maiden, just for the time being - it seems that I am not much different from Reimu's laziness, except that she has more to go, I only happen to go to Patty's library in the Red Devil Pavilion or visit the shrine, and recently there is an additional Meiren Temple, where the presiding saint Bailian is clearly a believer in Japanese indigenous Buddhism, but for some reason he also has the identity of a magician, But she doesn't have much time and interest in discussing magic topics in her daily life, so she doesn't actually fit into my discussion group with Patty, and I only visit Holy White Lotus when I need to study spell problems similar to those of Buddhists, and I also have to endure the eye attacks of a lot of animal demons and ghosts, which is quite stressful, so that although I think Miss White Lotus is an amiable elder, I don't dare to visit from time to time, but always gather my and Patsy's questions to a certain amount before asking for advice, as for other places I often visit, The most lively place is the Renli Square, where performing puppet shows for human children is also one of the practices of puppeteers.
The original plan was to go to the puppet show once a week or two weeks, and the festival day was counted, but now I think it's only ten days since the last puppet show, and my current state is not suitable for performance, so let's postpone it for the time being, as for when to go, simply subject to the invitation of Teacher Huiyin, if she doesn't come to mention this matter for a few months, I will rest for a few months.
"I haven't seen her for a quarter of an hour, and Alice seems to have become a lot more cheerful, has she put down her burden because of something good? Can you tell me about it? Yakumo Shi, who had put on the soft hat, poked out her golden head from behind me.
"Can you see that, too?"
"Because I learned an ability from an unreliable celestial follower."
Unreliable celestial? Does it refer to Miss Ju Tenko, who often haunts places such as the Sun Flower Field, the shrine, and the Eternal Pavilion? However, she is the only celestial person in Gensokyo who has a sighting report.
"What ability?"
"Look at people's faces."
"I turned my back on you just now."
"Ah, metaphorically, just like when we use idioms with the word 'human', most of the time we don't turn the word human into something else."
"Makes sense," Yakumo's words always sound very reasonable at first glance, but still make sense when you think about it, "In other words, the face refers to a state of mind? Plus, your next goodbye is quite short. ”
"Because I can't wait to see the lovely shrine girl Alice again," she said, leaning her head closer and blowing into my neck.
"What, what, cute, whatever, except for the color of the hair, what's different from Reimu," I craned my neck slightly, "When Reimu was here, you did the same. Drama Lingmeng. ”
"Yes, because the role of the Hirori shrine maiden is not only to keep the world balanced, but also to be adjusted. It's a play. "Yakumo Purple made the above declaration without any sense of shame, worthy of being an old monster of the tens of millions of years, as a young magician, the gap between me and her is really incalculable, the gap between various levels and meanings.
I've always been the same to respond to all changes, and after becoming a half-hung witch, I have deepened my original attitude towards the world, "It's up to you, what's the urgency to appear again?" ”
"The one who just came here is the head maid of the vampire imp family, what did she talk to you about?"
"Hasn't Purple been peeping?"
"Ah, because Orange-chan just did something infuriating, and had to spend half an hour giving her the education she deserved."
"Don't you deny voyeurism," because I didn't want to move, I omitted the process of pouring tea to entertain Purple," You should easily guess the content of the chat with Saki, she didn't know much about the process of what happened a few days ago, so I explained it to her a little. ”
"I see, it's not a big deal."
"Of course, do you think the head maid has some great news to tell me, or the other way around?"
"Where, where."
"I know that Gensokyo has some secrets that can't be known to the little monsters or humans, otherwise it will shake the foundation, especially after temporarily taking over the position of a shrine maiden in a half-hung situation, I have some vague ideas, but Miss Purple doesn't have to care."
"Of course Alice is a good boy, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to be a shrine maiden temporarily," Yakumo Murasaki shook off the plush fan and half-covered her face, "There are many secrets in this world, and it doesn't matter who knows and who doesn't—if they don't have anything to do with each other, it's true, but since everyone lives on the same land and under the same sky, maintaining the stability of the majority is the first priority." It is only natural that those who are more 'wise' will have more 'secrets'. ”
"I don't get to the point, but I don't care."
For example, why do you let the youkai be trapped in a corner of the huge earth, why do you prohibit most of the youkai from entering and leaving the Great Enchantment, why do you control the development of human technology in human villages without making any restrictions on kappa heavy work, why don't you find a random girl with good physique in the human village to succeed you as a Hakurei shrine maiden, why you treat the outside humans who strayed into Gensokyo when you find out, and so on. It can be a simple and unbelievable question.
"Presumably Alice can understand this," Yakumo said seriously, "the negative power of the human mind is capable of completely restraining all wills that they do not agree with, including demons, elves, ghosts, monsters, gods, spirits, and anomalous beings born of humanity itself—the meaning of this statement is a lie. ”
"Huh? Well, it's a lie, it's a lie," I said, "but it's the source of the will that gave birth to Gensokyo." ”
ps:If you want something strict,,The last few paragraphs of this chapter and the content of the next chapter are almost all the settings that can be studied and discussed.,As a person who has a setting to die.,It's a painful thing for the author to pull a little setting......
