Since it may involve unpleasant memories of the distant past, I don't plan to go too far into this issue, and I haven't even asked Aunt Yuzu if Granny Tofu is still alive, and I can probably tell from Miss Aozaki's account that her grandfather is still living in his hometown, so I think it's better not to do more about grandpa's youth love story. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So I sent a thought to Patsy, which explained everything that Aunt Yuzu and I had talked about, including of course the story of poor Granny Tofu, and my associative speculation about Granny Tofu and Uncle Aosaki, and finally told her not to dig into the story of Uncle Aosaki, so that Miss Aosaki's impression of her beloved grandfather would be less erranded, and it would be too troublesome for Miss Aozaki to beg us to help her find Granny Tofu and make a confirmation. And it's very likely that the residents of the people in the world will recall the unkindness of the outsiders, and then even affect the stability and harmony of the people, if it develops to such a point, the Hirori witch will probably no longer be able to face the world with a transcendent status and attitude, although I don't care about this situation, but it will undoubtedly cause huge trouble to the successor, and it is really not good if it eventually leads to the interference of the purple.

The content of the mind seems to be numerous, but Patchy's interpretation only takes a moment, and in this moment we are kind of unified in terms of voice and thought - in fact, I unilaterally think that she will not be spoiled casually. Then I was glanced at by her dissatisfied, but thankfully she didn't continue to do it.

"There's more to this world than Gensokyo, and Miss Aosaki doesn't have to bother to find out who or where your grandfather met," Patchy told her, "and it doesn't mean anything to ordinary people." ”

I added, "It's just your grandfather's feelings that make sense. "And, of course, the practice.

"Well, the feeling of giving people is the meaning of the existence of things." Miss Aosaki nodded.

Miss Maruko Aozaki is really not easy to deal with, maybe most of the editors know how to talk along other people's lines? It was also an important way to please people, or to expand relationships, and I probably wouldn't have cared about it in the past, but today I think it's necessary to learn from people in the community, such as Ms. Aosaki.

Even so, I didn't immediately put down my face and ask her for advice, everyone is not familiar with it, not to mention that there is still a seat sitting on the side who has no interest in expanding interpersonal relationships, and stares at Miss Nanayao Witch who can't allow me to deviate from my job as a magician.

"Then again, does Miss Aozaki really believe Grandpa's story?"

"When I was a child, of course, I believed the words of the old man unconditionally."

"Did you grow up skeptical?"

"Of course, I doubt that after graduating from elementary school, I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore...... But I have a deep impression of my grandfather's feelings at that time, and the older I get, the more I believe that it is not a fictional story that can trigger feelings, so I occasionally think of the story that my grandfather told me is hovering in a hesitant state of believing and not believing, but before today, I have been convincing myself to believe half of it, aha, that half is that grandpa once had an unknown ex-wife. ”

"Everyone has a heart for gossip."

"Well, I don't think there's any clue to a story that's been around for a long time," Miss Aozaki said in the tone of the end of the weird story, "and it's made it easier for me to tell the things that have bothered me, and I don't try to figure out what happened today, Miss Alice and Miss Pache Valley?" ”

"At the beginning, it seemed that it was me who proposed the investigation.,It's a little unwilling to give up like this.,But it's just a lot of guesswork if it continues.,Serious investigation to the point where it's almost over.,I can't expect to find out what the former witches haven't figured out for more than a hundred years.。

"Wise idea." Patchy said lukewarmly.

"I didn't see you stopping the investigation in the first place."

"If my advice works, will you get into so much trouble?"

"Say it as if I've been in trouble a lot...... "**Annoyance has really caused trouble more than once, so my argument is quite weak."

"Hopefully, hopefully, it didn't cause you any trouble." The editor, probably not understanding our bickering, reluctantly interjected.

"Including Suzuna-an and Terakoya, today's investigation activities have been carried out many times, and it will only be a headache in vain if it continues, it should indeed be suspended, Miss Aozaki is tired of tossing back and forth, there are a few empty houses on the left and right of the backyard corridor, you can pick one to rest for a while, and I will show you the way."

"I'm a little sleepy, indeed, Miss Alice Law."

I ushered her into the guest room in the backyard, said good afternoon, and returned to the main hall.

"Well," I said to the witch who drank tea with her eyes closed, "do you yourself believe that there are many other wonderful hidden places in the world besides Gensokyo?" ”

"You know "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring", right?"

"Although it is an ancient text that is difficult to read, I probably still know the content, but it is just a literary and artistic creation, which is almost made up."

"Mysterious Island, Peter Pan, Underwater Dragon Palace, Ghost Island, Elven Country、......" she inexplicably listed a stack of names.

“？”

"Who knew about Gensokyo a few years ago, how could it be that turning fantasy into an actual existence was just a patent unique to Yakumo Murasaki?"

"Ahh I get it. ”

There are countless wonderful fairyland in the story, and there will always be a few places that actually refer to them, such as the moon capital, the representative of the god world, the fairy realm Kunlun mentioned by Miss Qing'e more than once at the banquet, the spiritual mountain of the Buddha country of the Western Elysium that Miss Sheng Bailian preached endlessly, the holy land of heaven that anyone can talk about, and even the old hell that was actually designed and created by some people or gods, etc., etc., of course, most of the above places are definitely not places that mortals can reach, Now that I have come to appreciate the unique way of cultivation taught by Hakurei Shrine Maiden and Miss Kanako, I have become more and more aware of the so-called fairy realm, which is a wonderful and eternal place where you can only "ascend" after crossing a critical point of practice that I don't understand very well, even if it is the underworld. I also came to understand how deviant and unconventional it was for Miss Kanako to give up on creating a world.

In fact, there are countless mysterious people or masters all over the world, known or unknown, such as the Peach Blossom Spring, the Neverless Island, the Seven Layers of Hell, the Secret Realm under the Sea, the Cave World, and even a ghostly alley, and the difference is just the encounter of ordinary people and the stories that have been circulated.

If Grandpa Aozaki had written about what he had seen and heard in his youth and published it in a newspaper or magazine, I think that a wonderful place called Gensokyo or any other name would also be known as a legend, so what Patchy said to Miss Aosaki was not unfounded nonsense.

"It is indeed useless for ordinary people to explore their own strange encounters except for the meaning of gossip, and if you know too much, you may be exposed to some unforeseen dangers, because there will always be greedy people who want to gain profit from wonderful hidden places, so ordinary people who know these things will become victims of those greedy demons, and it is wise for you to end your communication with that outsider in time."

It wasn't me or Patsy who said this, but another acquaintance who quietly descended on the porch of the main hall of the shrine, a seni with cute hair (self-proclaimed) Miss Ibaraki Kaho.
