Chapter 39: A New Secret

"Although you should pay attention to it, but for so many years, the outsiders who have come to Gensokyo and been sent back can't say that there are fewer people anyway, and it seems a little too late to worry about these people now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Just tell you some common sense that a shrine maiden should have, a little attention can reduce the occurrence of accidents, this is a little due obligation for strangers, and you don't have to care if others appreciate it, just like Reimu and all the shrine maidens before it."

"Oh......"

Patchy looked over, "You want to worry about whether Miss Maruko Aosaki will publicize her experience with others when she returns to the outside world?" You don't have to worry about it at all, judging from her own experiences and stories, she probably won't talk about her weird experience with anyone other than that Jingyi-sensei, and there is almost no possibility of provoking the demons and monsters of the outside world. ”

"When did Patsy become so good at understanding other people's personalities?"

"In times of need."

"......" I thought about it and could only say, "Although the encounter is fate, and I really have no bad feelings towards her, and even catch up with Miss Melly's favorability, but in any case, I can't all my heart for an outsider whose living environment is completely different, the experience is personal, and how to choose is only up to me." ”

"Hmph." Patchy's short, throaty voice seemed to express her displeasure, and I think her resentment may have come from my becoming sentimental.

"Having said that, Miss Alice can take into account the relationship between the inhabitants and the position of the shrine maiden and the position of the shrine maiden in the people, which can be said to be very big-picture," perhaps seeing the signs of raising the bar, Miss Ibaraki Kafan changed the subject in time, "I didn't believe that you would think so deeply about it before. ”

"Ahaha...... Anyway, I've been working at the shrine for a while.,I'm not going to waste a rare opportunity to change roles.,I always have to learn a little more.。 ”

Miss Patty, who has always been noble, apparently did not think that the so-called shrine work related to the sophistication of the family was something worth learning, but instead of openly dismantling the stage, she snorted again and bowed her head to drink tea.

I hesitated for a moment, but I didn't use the usual excuse to choke on her.

"Your idea is worthy of recognition," Miss Hua Fan smiled, "Miss Zi's arrangement is really discerning. ”

"Purple isn't at the shrine now, and it's useless for Miss Hua Fan to praise her in front of me."

"It's also a social skill, and if you want to sell it to someone, you don't have to show it in person."

"Uh......" I couldn't figure out for a moment whether she was planning to befriend Zi or tease Zi, "Doesn't Miss Hua Fan have something to say?" There shouldn't be much to dig into from the problems of outsiders. ”

"Well, it's time to tell me what I want to ask Miss Alice," she said, putting down her tea bowl, "I've heard from Sanae that Miss Satoru of the Earth Spirit Temple has asked you to keep an eye out for one of her pet cats without affecting her normal work?" ”

"Yes," I nodded, "but ......"

"I know the cause and effect of this incident, Sanae has already revealed it, you guess that the pet cat was sent to the outside world, right?"

"At that time, it was indeed a speculation, after returning from visiting the Earth Spirit Temple, I had confirmed this speculation from Zina, and the flame cat Ah Yi was thrown to the outside world by her on the grounds of experimentation."

This sentence still has a thoughtful explanation, including the various speculations I made with Miss Satoru that day, and Yakumo's intention to send Aichi away.

"Oh?" She pondered for a moment, "It seems that it is. ”

"Has Miss Hua Fan ever had a relationship with the Earth Spirit Temple? I had already informed Miss Satoru of the news before the banquet, so there was no reason for her to ask anyone else to pay attention to it, right? ”

"It's a long story, although I've had some dealings with the underworld, I'm not commissioned by Miss Sense," she frowned for a moment and then relaxed, "I know Miss Purple's intentions, and she has a simple and practical plan to forcibly civilize Gensokyo with Miss Scarlett, and there's really no better way to do it." ”

"You mean、Not against the influx of Gensokyo's demons into the outside world?"

"It's not a matter of opposition or support," she reasserted herself, "it's stupid and pointless to try to control everyone's minds, and it's easier to kill them than to kill them all, but obviously no one, including Miss Zi, thinks it's a good idea to kill them all, and those who dare to do so will ...... sooner or later It's inconvenient to say clearly, for the sake of her own cultivation, Miss Zi intends to use the Flame Cat's experience as a template to guide the behavior standards of those little demons who wish to leave Gensokyo, which is undoubtedly the best arrangement for the little demons and unprepared outsiders, and I think it is also the best arrangement for Miss Zi. ”

"Oh...... "Sooner or later, what?" I was a little curious, but Miss Fairy obviously didn't want to say more, and I couldn't ask any more questions.

"Uh, cough," she suddenly became slurred, I guess her next step was to talk about her intentions, I hope it wasn't a trouble, "Actually, my Thunder Beast is also, well, it can be said that it is missing, and according to my preliminary investigation, its disappearance time is basically the same as that of the Flame Cat." ”

"What?" I couldn't turn a corner, and then I realized that Miss Hua Fan, like Miss Jue, had also become the parent of a lost child, but she still didn't seem to be in a hurry like Miss Jue, "It turns out that there are other missing cases besides the flame cat Ah Yi!" ”

"Uh-huh, yes."

"This ...... Miss Hua Fan didn't come today to ask for clues to find a lost pet, right? I'm happy to help, but I'm probably not very good at finding people. ”

"It's not a hassle to find someone, I have my own way of finding someone, and I'm here to check with Miss Alice for clues."

Well, I secretly relaxed, "If all I need is clues, all I know is contained in what I just told you." ”

"Well, I was ready to talk to you for an afternoon, but I didn't expect Miss Alice to come to such a situation after her cultivation has been successful."

What? Judging from the meaning expressed in Miss Cihuaxian's words, my current spiritual achievements are not low-end? It seems that I had no choice but to accept the cultivation method taught by Miss Kanako, and I can enter the eyes of the immortals.

"I'm sorry, everyone's practice is very private, and I shouldn't have interjected."

"No, no, no, I'm actually still confused about my own cultivation, and I can't talk about privacy or privacy."

Miss Hua Fan put on a strange expression, "Miss Alice still doesn't know much?" I thought the magicians would at least know something about the practice, it seems...... Could it be that Miss Zi didn't tell you anything, uh, and let you take over the shrine maiden? ”

"Huh? Does she need to tell me anything? ”

"Of course, it's the cultivation inheritance of the Hakurei shrine maiden."

"Hey, I thought it was taught by the data processing mechanism of the Great Enchantment after the inauguration ceremony, although I didn't pay much attention to ......"

"Miss Alice's idea also makes sense, Yakumo Murasaki is just a substitute teacher, but now, the unique cultivation method of the Hakurei shrine maiden is also the only one she can completely teach to the shrine maidens, the former shrine maidens...... Alas, except for Reimu, no one has cultivated enough to teach apprentices, and no one can say anything about the cultivation qualifications, didn't Miss Zi also select more than ten generations in a row before there was an heir like Reimu, so the head of the Hirori witch can even be considered to be Miss Purple, although these are not secrets, but they are not the history of the sect that can be mentioned to outsiders at will, since you are also a witch to know, it doesn't matter. ”

"Originally, originally, there is such a complicated internal story?"

It dawned on me that I didn't know as much about Gensokyo as I thought.
