Chapter 348: Late Summer and Early Autumn
But no matter what, this is Sanae's decision after careful consideration, and even though she is full of worries deep down and doesn't know what kind of outcome this option will bring Sanae, Suwako and Kanako finally support it.
As soon as the two of them spoke, they had slowly walked down the mountain path of the Hakurei Shrine, and in Sanae's description, the Eight Nine Temple gradually sketched the image of a girl who was confused between mystery and reality.
Seeing a lot of things doesn't mean it's a good thing.,The shaping of the outlook on life and the worldview will add a lot of things that shouldn't have been.,Although Suwako called it the most outstanding shrine maiden in Suwa from ancient times to the present.,But Sanae didn't feel that she had anything outstanding.,Even a lot of times I feel my own shortcomings.。
"In Gensokyo, Miss Reimu has done a better job than me, and has solved the mutations far more times than me, and according to the humans and non-humans who have seen the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maidens, the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maidens is the most outstanding in the past generations, although the strength is not as good as the current Reimu, but in her short life, she has solved the big mutations including the red mist mutation, the spring snow mutation, and the eternal night mutation."
The changes experienced by the Eight and Nine Temples are actually small-scale, and there is only one place and one force involved, although the Human World and the Red Devil Pavilion have a very high status in Gensokyo, but in the final analysis, they can only be regarded as a small fight compared to the entire Gensokyo.
Under Sanae's words, the Eight Nine Temple gradually remembered the history of the past, but unfortunately the most shining existences at that time had disappeared, Marisa was the heir left by Marisa, and Reimu inherited the mantle of the previous generation of shrine maidens, but the existence of Yakumo has no one to replace it so far.
The Eight and Nine Temples will not be like that, treating themselves as the sun, burning themselves to illuminate others, the past will not be, and the future will not be.
He's very similar to Kaguya, both of them are people who have a strong curiosity about the unknown, they will act according to their own ideas, and most of the time they don't look different from normal people, but they are actually self-centered.
"Ah, that's a mask!"
Walking into the lively festival street, Sanae pulled the clothes of the Eight Nine Temples and pointed to a stall selling masks and said happily.
Exquisite masks are placed on it, not only the image of a monster that only exists inside Gensokyo, but also some products from the outside world, and Sanae chose a mecha mask that is very in line with her preferences, with clear flutes and full texture.
"What do you want from the Eighty-Nine Temple?"
The mask is very cheap, and neither Sanae nor Bajiuji is a person who cares about money, and the girl paid for two people in one go, urging Bajiuji to buy it.
The mask of the frog, he didn't like it, the mask of the white snake, and his color didn't match much, and finally in the inconspicuous corner, the Eight and Nine Temple chose a mask that looked like it was made by outsiders.
On his round yellow flatbread-like face, he has a smile that looks like it's not a smile - Kaguya's favorite funny expression.
"That's it."
In Sanae's embarrassed expression, the Eighty-Nine Temple chose the mask of this atmosphere destroyer, followed Qin Xin's example, and put the mask on his head obliquely.
There are a lot of things to eat at the harvest festival, such as eight-eyed eel, small broken bones, oden, takoyaki, and it can be said that even Yuyuko can eat here if you want, but Sanae came here to feel the lively human atmosphere, so she and Hachikuji just tasted some casually.
The place where the human group appears is always very lively, and the banquet festival is like this, which is something that is difficult for youkai to do, even the banquet of Hakurei Shrine is not as good as the harvest festival of humans, so there are a lot of youkai who slipped down this time.
Eighty-nine Temple and Sanae had already seen Suika and Xingxiong Yongyi, the latter being reduced by the former's ability to shrink some of their body shape, and then using the secret method of the Oni clan to remove the horns on their heads, it looked like two girls with strange hair colors playing at the harvest festival in the world.
There are more other non-human characteristics that are not so obvious, eating everywhere, and going to the next house when you are done eating, Yuyuko who makes Youmu tired, Reisen who shoots and earns dolls with a firearm, and Sixteen Nights Sakuya who helps the eldest lady who goes out to execute Li Shunsheng and brings food......
Of course, there are also those who don't hide their identities, such as the Yakumo Purple family, who has a high status in Gensokyo, and Qin Xin, who went directly to the stage of the Harvest Festival to perform dance.
"Noh?"
A traditional Japanese form of cabaret performance.
As a monster transformed from a mask, Qin Xin can be said to be a good friend of doing this, the girl's graceful posture is fully displayed in the dance, and the change of emotions in the character's heart is expressed by switching masks.
The story of the current performance is a story of a ladyboy falling in love, a story about the second prince from the country of dogs in the west, and the human witch in the ordinary village who fell in love and killed each other.
The plot is very simple, even a little old-fashioned, and the Noh on the harvest festival has already limited the twists and turns of the story.
The dog demon was injured, the witch healed, and after a long time, the demons took different paths, fell in love and killed each other.
In a nutshell, it's no more than twenty words.
The final scene is the scene where the canine demon is holding the dying witch Qin Xin and crying by the river.
The tragedy ended with endless applause.
Obviously it was a banquet to celebrate the past harvest and wish for next year's harvest, but there was no one who expressed opposition or disagreement with the end of this tragedy, and even the youkai who stopped to watch unconsciously nodded.
"Mr. Eighty-Nine Temple, do you know? From ancient times to the present, there is no good ending to the story of humans and monsters falling in love, not a single one. It seems that he saw that the Eight Nine Temple cared, and Sanae began to popularize knowledge for the Eight Nine Temple.
"This is an inevitability that is more terrible than a curse, even the most powerful monsters, the most genius humans, as long as they fall into this circle, they can't escape the fate." It's common sense.
"Even, even the love between gods and humans will lead to such an ending, Suwako-sama said, it is not that there have been no existences that can break through the level of the great youkai before, but many of them have died because of their love with humans."
Sanae's voice is very soft, but the story she tells is unexpectedly heavy, and it is not easy for non-human people to achieve happiness.
is as strong as the wind and sees the fragrance, and now he can only collect the fragments of that scholar to masturbate; The Scarlett family has never seen a vampire other than Remy and Fran; The Yakumo family is too, the most important piece of the puzzle is missing, and it will never be the complete Yakumo family.
It can barely be regarded as having a good ending, and there is only the fact that Youji and Youyuko are gone, but one is half-dead, and the other is dead, even if Youmeng can be regarded as their own children in their eyes, it does not cover up the fact that they can't leave their descendants.
"So Mr. Hachikuji, if you like Kaguya-sama, please work hard to become a god, only a god can marry a god."
Sanae changed the topic and turned to the body of the Eighty-Nine Temple.
Do I like Kaguya?
Bajiuji didn't know, Sanae didn't know, she said it just to remind her to wake up, after all, most of the tragedies come from misunderstandings, and all misunderstandings come from poor information exchange.
The harvest festival has almost been completed, and Sanae also feels satisfied, as the companion of the last moment, the Eight and Nine Temples are doing very well, at least she has no regrets now.
The place where they started was the end, and they returned to the foot of the Hakurei Shrine.
"Take a look at it, Boli Shrine has tried and asked for a signature, whether it is marriage, career, or family, you can test it, only five hundred yuan at a time!"
Hakuri Reimu, who was holding a box in her hand, walked down the mountain road, and she was also a little attracted by the excitement of the harvest festival, so she couldn't help but come down to pan for gold.
And as the most powerful shrine maiden in Gensokyo, of course she has to make good use of her identity as a Hakurei shrine maiden, so selling a sign is the best choice, the cost is low, and it is not easy to grab business with people and cause disputes, and the most important thing is to make perfect use of the reputation of Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo.
"Isn't this Sanae and Yajiuji? Do you want to give it a try, it only costs 500 yuan at a time! ”
Reimu stretched out five fingers and kept swaying in front of Hachijiuji and Sanae.
It might be a good last stop to ask for a lot, Sanae thought.
"Then give me a stick."
Reimu took off the simple box hanging around his neck and handed it to Sanae, although it was said that it was a lottery, but in fact Reimu didn't know what the outside world was like, so it was just a note with the words "Good Luck" written on it.
When her hand touched the note, Sanae's eyebrows jumped, Hakurei Shrine is very unreliable, she knows, although it is very good to solve the mutation, but other places are a bad mess, but she didn't expect that this lottery is also so perfunctory.
The sign of Moriya Shrine was carved by her, and the refined product of Suwako Kanako-sama who gave blessings with divine power became a list box for the sports meeting when she arrived at Reimu, and even Sanae could feel that there was no dry ink on the paper.
Thankfully, it turned out to be pretty good.
Everything went well.
Sanae had a happy expression.
"Oops, forgot to ask you what you wanted, do you want another one?"
Reimu exclaimed, but Sanae shook her head, saying that she was very satisfied with this lot, and that she only cared about her career now, so no matter what this lot, it was a career.
"Do you want one too?"
The box was handed to the front of the Eighty-Nine Temple.
"Tell me which one you want beforehand?"
"Marriage."
Unexpected, reasonable choice.
Career, the Eighty-Nine Temple has already achieved a little, and the days of the Eternal Pavilion are very comfortable, and it can be said that most of the monsters who have struggled all their lives in Gensokyo have not gained more than his life for more than a year.
Family......
As an adjuster, where does he have any family, at least after marriage, he can talk about this.
It's just that......
[Little Murderer] is born to die.
Very bad words appeared on the note, which made the atmosphere awkward.
"This is what I scribbled, don't you care." Reimu waved his hand and played his own sign.
"Originally, asking for a sign is a matter of luck and face, but your luck today is really bad, there are five hundred signatures in it, and I only wrote two small murders and one big murderer."
Is it really good to smash your own signboard like this?
Eighty-nine Temple thoroughly understands the reason for the poor management of the Hakurei Shrine.,It's just that there is a mysterious power in Gensokyo.,Hakurei Shrine is a place where it stands at the top of the mysterious power.,So is this sign accurate or not?
