Curtain 22 The Witch and the Demon
Calculated carefully, Yutong Shiai felt that he had probably been angry in that place for several hours. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But what makes people feel like it's just night, both when you look at the sky and how you feel it. This is also something that Yuki Juai senses is wrong, and Alice goes to Marisa alone to prove his suspicions.
Yutong Ten Ai and Egolia leave the ground. Luckily, Egria's gospel abilities include flying, but not necessarily fast.
Therefore, when they are advancing, most of the time it is Yutong Shiai who interferes with the force that plays a greater role.
As if thrilled by the experience of flying at high speed, the girl let out a few cheers like a child.
"Wow, oh, oh~"
The girl cried out with joy.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Yutong Shiai knocked on the head of the gospel with teeth and claws.
"Be serious, make trouble."
Gospel was hit hard by the blow, covered his head, and snorted.
"I don't think you can make a fuss. Miss Alice, but I've told you everything. ”
"So what?"
Yutong Shiai glanced at her.
The silver girl froze for a moment, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile.
"yes, so what. Hmph~"
Yutong Shiai turned his head.
He didn't want to have much communication with this canine girl. When the other party wants to provoke himself, he is simply a mad dog.
Now, he plans to go to the Red Devil Pavilion to ask Pache for help.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Huh? Lady Pacuri, did you notice that things were not going well tonight, so you released a pigeon? ”
The red-haired little devil placed the black tea on the girl's table and looked at the violet magician.
"But what if that shrine maiden says that you break your promise?"
But compared to the red-haired little devil's worries, the purple-haired Patchouli sat calmly in her chair and turned another page of the huge book on the table, her face calm and steady.
She gave the little devil a faint look.
"Little devil, you have to remember that sometimes, things don't get easy, but sometimes things are too simple to accept."
She pointed her right hand at the expensive-looking wall clock hanging on the wall.
"I just read the book and forgot about it. If it was normal, Sakuya and you would have reminded me, but today you went to the kitchen to direct those fairy maids, and Sakuya went out again, and in the end, it was my mistake. ”
"Absolutely...... Absolutely nothing! Lady Patchouli! You didn't make a mistake, and I blame it all for my incompetence and stupidity! ”
The little devil jumped up excitedly and defended his owner.
She pointed to her master's book.
"I forgot the time, and it was precisely because of this Pache that I was attracted to such a great charm, and it was precisely because of this Pache that I was able to create the Seven Dawn Magic and refine the Philosopher's Stone. So it's understandable that Patchouli is doing this! ”
Pache smiled softly.
"Little devil, you really spoil me."
"Talent...... Not anymore. ”
The red-haired girl scratched her hair embarrassedly and smiled silly.
And Pache seemed to remember some pleasant memories, and smiled at the girl.
"But, little devil, I'm not the young human I was when I first summoned you. So just complimenting me like that, I'm not happy at all! ”
As if to emphasize this, she bookmarked the book, placed it on the table, and raised her fingers earnestly.
This sentence brought back memories of the little devil.
As the lowest demon in hell, when he was living aimlessly and meaninglessly in hell, he was summoned from the human world, and the little demon complied with the call and came to the human world.
And the one who summoned her was a young girl who was less than ten years old.
At that time, the girl had just learned to survive alone, and the demon was also coming to the world for the first time.
The demon took care of the girl and gave meaning to his life.
The girl drew close to the demon and warmed each other's hearts with emotion.
In this way, the demon watched the girl grow up little by little, cultivate magic, become a monster, create magic, refine magic weapons, and achieve brilliance.
Indeed, compared to herself, who has not changed at all, Patchouli has grown from less than her chest to almost as tall as herself, and has been moving in this way for hundreds of years.
She looked at the girl, and the girl was indeed not such a young girl anymore.
Then the seriousness on the girl's face collapsed instantly, and she was replaced by a somewhat excited look.
"How, little devil, how many points can you get on tsundere like that just now?"
“……”
The little devil raised an eyebrow, trying not to stiffen his expression too much.
"Patchouli-sama, can you hold for a few minutes before asking for a score to move me?"
"Huh? Little devil, what are you talking about? ”
"Nothing, Patchouli-sama."
The little devil pouted and twisted his head to the side.
"Patchouli-sama, you can't mean it, do you?"
Because the expression on the little devil's face was like that of an old woman. It's so cute, but it's not cute with such an expression. ”
Patchouli chuckled softly.
Then she looked at the door of the library.
"But now, we probably need to take on some guests."
The one who came was none other than the Red Devil Pavilion's doorman, Misuzu Red, and the black-haired boy and silver-haired girl who came.
"Good evening, Miss Norregi."
Yutong Ten Love is ahead.
He looked at Pache Pacific, who was as quiet and intellectual as ever, and bowed slightly.
"I don't know what day it is, the owner of the hall and the head maid are not here, so I have to ask Miss Menfan to lead the way."
“……”
Patchouli didn't reply, but looked at the boy's expression first.
Although the boy had only met twice, it could be seen that he was a gentle and quiet teenager. But the boy standing in front of him now is different from the past.
Although her face was calm and calm, she seemed to be able to see a sticky black flame in her eyes that flickered silver from time to time.
It's like some magic that makes potions that fail to be refined, and it's unpleasant.
She looked at the girl beside the boy again.
The Silver Gospel of Igolia, is it her influence? But there shouldn't be such a big change, and Yutong Ten Ai also seems normal in the last separation.
Although I have doubts, I still have to respond to the other party first.
"Good evening, Yutong Ten Love. Remy and Sakiya did go out, after all, tonight's night seemed to be a little too long. But what are you here for? ”
Patchouli watched as the little devil led the boy and girl to sit on the chair, and waved her hand to the red Misuzu who was about to leave.
"I have some questions for this time, and I want to ask Miss Norreki to see if she can answer a question or two for me. I wonder if Miss Norreki knows about Gensokyo's enchantment with Hakurei? ”
Yutong Shiai asked bluntly.
Pache frowned imperceptibly.
The boy was so straightforward that he seemed impatient.
"We at the Red Devil Pavilion recently moved into Gensokyo, and I did do some homework for that. But Shiai, why do you suddenly want to know this now? ”
"Because I can't find Lord Yakumo."
Yutong Shiai replied.
His eyes were fixed on the girl's face, thirsting for answers.
Patchouli sighed.
"Since you are also from the outside world, you should also know the negation of the human beings in the outside world now."
Yutong Shiai nodded.
This is the process of human beings in the development of the ability called science and technology, and no longer have a breathtaking admiration for the magnificent things of the past, but in order to satisfy their desire for control, they try to force themselves to believe that everything in the world is reasonable with scientific rhetoric. Nature has no secrets in front of it, and man has been in control of the world ever since.
Yes, humanity is denying the domination between the world and humanity, along with the fantasy side that cannot be explained by technology.
That's why there was the witch trial, that's why there's Vatican twilight, and that's why there's Gensokyo now.
"Then you also know the structure of Gensokyo Hakurei's enchantment, right?"
"Sorry I don't understand this."
Yutong Shiai replied, and the meaning of the words was clear.
Patchouli had to explain to him.
"After my observation and research and the confirmation of the Hakurei shrine maiden, the Hakurei Great Enchantment is composed of the combination of the inner enchantment of the Hakurei family and the [Realm of Fantasy and Reality] created by Yakumo Purple on the outside, so as to separate Gensokyo from the outside world, and the forgotten fantasies and forgotten things in the field will appear in it."
"Yes."
Yutong Shiai narrowed her eyes.
"[The realm of fantasy and reality]...... I know that, too. However, Miss Norregi, if the size of this barrier were changed according to the current structure, would it have any effect on the barrier? ”
"Do you change the size......"
Patchouli was stunned.
The young man's question made him think no less than three things.
Yakumo Purple wants to expand Gensokyo? Is it to include more land to accommodate more people, or to erode more reality? Is there something planned?
But while thinking like this, she answered the boy's question.
"If the scope is expanded, the enchantment will inevitably weaken. So the current Gensokyo size is the most suitable size. Yakumo Purple is a monster who has lived for so long, and it is praised in the name of a sage, and it is worthy of being a monster sage, and this size is the most suitable range for the Great Enchantment. ”
So she also wanted to know what caused the monster sage to plan to expand Gensokyo.
But this is just her own self-righteousness, and she can't possibly ask.
"That's ......"
Yutong Shiai touched her chin and lowered her head slightly, something was brewing in her eyes.
Patchouli frowned.
"Ten loves. Did you encounter anything special today? ”
"Huh? Ahh ”
Yutong Shiai casually said something that surprised Pachouli.
"Puff cough...... What the!? The armpit witch? ”
The girl's unpleasant breath hit her neck several times.
"yes, as a colleague, let's connect a little bit of affection."
The boy didn't care much about what he was saying, he just looked at what he had in mind.
At this time, the boy and the witch heard the sound of grinding their teeth.
