Episode 2: Urban Legends

It's close to noon, and the location is an apartment complex not far from the middle school building and a community elementary school, and the habitat of Lori Itoyuki, an elementary school who refuses to be taken care of by "relatives" and chooses to live alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I still remember the first time I visited this Lori demon house, it wasn't even a visit, it was full of curiosity and vigilant tracking of the outside world, and it was a halfway robbery, although this is a black history that should be hidden, but I already know how to examine my heart and behavior, and my shame has become more and more unshakable under the tempering of the outside world.

Inside, Xuechan, who still looks like a cute Lori with a doll head, pointed to the display screen and said, "Alice-chan, this is it, the hidden shrine on the side of the path near our school." ”

I leaned over and looked at the picture, "What kind of website is this?" 'Tourist spots you can't see' is an alternative piece of information that introduces the details of the scenery of Tokyo's various regions. ”

Having said that, the street shown in the picture is full of shade and grass, and the sparse roadside buildings are low and full of history, which does give a quiet taste, and the street is perfect for sunset walks.

"If it weren't for the fact that I've heard about urban legends such as roadside shrines that make wishes from classmates discussion groups, I wouldn't have noticed that there are such streets near the school." Ito's little Lori said, "So the day before yesterday, my classmate Xiaomei and I went to explore an adventure. ”

"You really found this shrine and think there's something wrong with it?"

"Hmm-it seems like an indescribable feeling at first, but there must be a problem, because Xiaomei casually made a wish to grow taller, and she told me the next day......"

"Growing taller?"

"No, not so fast, it was she who felt pain in her legs, I was a little worried and reported Xiaomei's mother, and accompanied her to the hospital, the doctor said, uh......"

"What the hell is going on!"

"It is said that Xiaomei is at the age of developing long bones, and it is normal for her body to hurt anywhere."

"What mud!" I was surprised, "That roadside wild god is so spiritual?" ”

"I don't know, that's why I asked Alice for help, what do you think?"

"I think...... The doctor was right, maybe it was a coincidence? ”

"This coincidence is creepy!"

"That's right, that's the wish of the gods?"

"Oh, don't laugh at Alice Sand," Lori said in a disdainful tone, "Even if you're an elementary school student, you don't believe in gods since you didn't believe in Santa Claus!" Besides, gods or something, how can there be such a thing, even the ignorant little demon doesn't like to make such tasteless jokes. ”

"Uh...... "This is indeed an era of the end of the law without faith, I can't help but sigh secretly, and then leave the gods and adults behind, "Anyway, if you can't think of the result at home, let's go to the scene and take a look." ”

"It's almost lunchtime, why don't you wait?"

"Lunch time is the right time to solve the gloomy work, let's eat while walking."

"Oh!"

On the way out, since the destination was near the elementary school and of course not far from Itoyuki's apartment, we chose to walk and take two pizzas at a fast food takeout restaurant.

"Alas, even if I expected it, even if it wasn't thick, even if I was sorry for the clerk's sister, I would say, it's so delicious!" I nibbled on it and complained.

"Ahh ”

"No, it's obviously you who live a good life."

Let's not compare the quality of life between Gensokyo and the outside world, there is no comparison between the two, purely based on personal concepts, just in the outside world to make horizontal comparisons, it is obvious that Ito Xue is the real tyrant with a lot of discretionary power, and I even have solid steel evidence to prove that when I gave me this unclear commission yesterday, even the commission money that was brought to my account, which I can't say whether it was a deposit or full payment in advance, was enough for me to immediately return the rent I had borrowed from Miss Maruko and Miss Eriko. And pay off the rent for more than half a year in the future.

So, no matter what kind of strange place you come to, it's definitely not a bad thing to meet a rich local person.

When Lori had finished lunch, we stepped onto the tree-lined grassy streets that we saw in the pictures, tucked away in the corners of the city.

"It's a nice place," said Ito, "because if it weren't for the rumors in the school exchange group, I wouldn't have had the chance to discover it until I graduated." ”

"It's a good place," I looked around for a moment, "and it's as full of life as the suburbs, and it's a good place for elves to live." ”

"Leprechauns? Hmm, youkai? ”

"No, in fact, if you describe it accurately, animal spirits are generally called demons, such as you and most users in the world, plants are good at opening their spirits, it's not weird, it's weird to others anyway."

"You mean, there's a plant demon here? Ah no, fine? It's strange to say, I rarely think about why I exist like this, instead of being a wild animal like most animals in the wild, and I haven't heard or thought about plants becoming spirits, and of course I'm even more unlikely to see it. ”

"Ah, yes, I've heard some old monsters say that few plants in the outside world turn into spirits, and as for this street, I can't see it, if the goblins deliberately hide and don't see anyone, the masters may not be able to find them easily."

"Oh...... Ay! That's what I'm talking about shrines! It's still like that. ”

The shrine is located between two towering poplar trees that look not too old, backed by a small mound overgrown with weeds, like a miniature enclosed stone shrine main hall, the surface of the potholes and concave convex appearance is very historical vicissitudes, looking through the "doors and windows" that resemble carved on the stone, you can only get a pitch black feedback - even if it is noon in the middle of the day, it seems that the structure of this miniature stone shrine is very ingenious, and the light cannot enter and naturally cannot be reflected.

"It looks really dark." Without borrowing spells, I tried to see with my eyes first, but I didn't gain much.

"There can't really be gods in there, right? Are gods such a small thing? ”

"Uh...... I don't understand this, you better treat it as a god who doesn't exist, anyway, I guess there is no god for a long time. ”

"Huh? Okay, but will there be, will there be, there will be that, that unclean thing? ”

"To be honest, I don't know how to define something that isn't clean."

It's better to observe and observe and consider others.,Spells that may cause a backlash are not used for the time being.,Fortunately, it's not a residential area nearby.,The time is not suitable for crazy streets.,The girl lying on the side of the shrine and the stupid appearance of Lori don't have the conditions to be noticed by pedestrians.。

As a result, before we could see the special connotation, an old voice came from behind us: "Two of you, are you looking for the fox fairy?" ”

"Wow!" Lori was taken aback.

I couldn't help but look back in surprise, but it was a little old man who looked too ordinary to describe in a special word, smiling kindly behind him.
