After that mutation, a few more days passed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to his store that night and not going out, Yutong Shiai was depressed for a while, and also walked out of the dream store.

Spring has passed, and there are no more banquets after that night, and Gensokyo, which has completely relaxed, ushered in the summer sun and heat.

He stepped out of his shop, looking up at the sun.

If you were a human, your eyes would be sore from the sun.

He lowered his head again and looked at the human settlement not far away.

Human beings are very fragile, but they have many feelings, so that human beings burst out with their fragile bodies to burst out of unparalleled light, which is also the reason why Yutong Shiai has respect for human beings.

However, he was somewhat incomprehensible about human feelings.

[If you are melancholy, then you have to drink and have fun. 】

Yutong Shiai exhaled.

Do you drink alcohol.

In that case, let's keep drinking.

So he walked slowly towards the earth.

This time he was almost not involved in the change, and he didn't know what the cause and effect was, and he didn't ask anyone. He planned to go to the world this time, just in time to go to the wine store to inquire.

If it is calculated according to the walking distance of ordinary people, it is only a five or six minute walk from the dream store to the world.

With the tamped ground beneath your feet and the hot, dry midday air around you, you can only feel the wildness of a sandstorm even if the wind blows from the distant fields.

Summer is here......

For Yutong Shiai, who has no physiological functions, this temperature is meaningless, but it naturally has an impact on his mood.

After walking for about five minutes, he came to the outside of the fence wall in the earth.

Noon is the peak of the day's yang, and it is not a suitable time for youkai to move, so there are very few monsters who come to the world at noon, and there is only one villager standing guard at the door.

Shiai has also been to the world several times recently, and he is familiar with these guys, and he doesn't know what the little guy named Furukawa Shinichi said recently, and those people have begun to call him Master Yutong.

It has nothing to do with mages......

When he had entered the earthly world, he walked towards the liquor store.

Although business is relatively scarce at noon, it is not impossible. After Yutong Shiai entered, he casually asked for some wine and set up a posture on the tables and chairs provided by the store.

Before I opened the jar, I just sighed.

"Sure enough, no......"

Even if you drink alcohol, the melancholy will not be reduced by half a point.

Is it because it's not human?

He propped up his chin and looked at the jar.

It's so hard, human feelings......

Do humans like the sensation of this alcohol reacting in the body? It's incomprehensible.

It's not that he can't understand this, for himself, he also has his own opinions about the memories left by the chewers, and about the experience of wandering for more than a hundred years, but when it comes to experiencing it firsthand, this feeling is the first time.

I couldn't think of a clue, so I simply opened the wine jar.

"Good afternoon, store manager Yutong."

Well?

It's very rare to call ten loves like this, and if Yutong ten loves are not mistaken, it should be Marisa's father who calls him that.

He turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the middle-aged man who looked like Marisa.

"Ahh

He lifted the jar.

"Do you want to pass the time together?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yutong, I still have things to do......"

The man smiled wryly, but immediately picked up the conversation.

"But if the manager of Yutong doesn't mind, I will invite the manager of Yutong to participate in the banquet of the Fog and Rain family another day."

Is it a banquet of the Fog Rain family, one of the famous families in the world?

Yutong Shiai nodded, which is considered to be the next step.

"I'll definitely come to visit when the time comes."

"That's good...... Mr. Yutong, that ...... The last thing we talked about......"

Mr. Kiriyu asked suddenly, somewhat cautiously.

Is it the thing that persuaded Marisa to go home and see?

"Ahhh......h That'......"

The boy put the jar down and shook his head.

"I'm sorry about this, I can't participate in the family affairs of the Fog and Rain family."

"Ah...... That's ......."

Mr. Misty Rain showed a little disappointment, but immediately adjusted.

"Then, please take care of the store manager."

"Well, see you later, Mr. Kiriyu."

Mr. Fog and Rain left, and Yutong Shiai felt that his mind was finally not so depressed because of his interruption.

I was going to go to the world for a casual stroll after drinking.,And then continue to spend the day casually.,But after Mr. Fog and Rain.,Another acquaintance came over.。

"Good afternoon, Ten Loves."

Yutong Shiai once again took his eyes off the wine jar.

That was the witch of that day.

The golden noble curls are shining like the sun, the bright red headband and belt are eye-catching, the plain white ** shawl soothes the soul, the sky-colored delicate dress outlines the body, the cowhide boots under the long skirt are clean and tidy, and the calm and beautiful face with a sense of distance is facing the ten loves, and the whole person is like a perfect doll made by doing his best.

The girl carried a small basket in her hand, which looked small and cute. The girl was still followed by the familiar puppet.

She was as charismatic as she was that day, and she was full of distance.

"Oh, Miss Alice."

He immediately stood up.

For this girl, he was the first person to help him after he came to Gensokyo, so naturally he couldn't be as casual as talking to Mr. Misty Rain just now.

The blonde witch waved her hand and pulled out another chair and sat down.

"It's the head of the Misty Rain family just now, right?"

“…… Yes. He asked me if I had persuaded Marisa to go home. ”

Yutong Shiai saw the girl's brows and frowned obviously.

"And what are you going to do?"

She looked at Yutong Shiai, although her face was still calm, but there were some waves in her blue eyes.

"Me? I'm not going to persuade Marisa, Miss Alice, you've already told you. ”

Yutong Shiai waved his hand.

"It's a blessing to die for your dreams, and Marisa's time as a human can reach that height, and she does need to do so in this aspect of the shipwreck."

But the blonde girl also shook her head.

"It's not like that. Yutong Ten Love, it's not like this, what you think is too simple. ”

As she spoke, she looked beyond the liquor store, in the world under the scorching sun.

"The price to pay for a magician to become a true magician is too great."

"Miss Alice......

He got to the look on the girl's face.

It was a lot of emotions hidden under the calm, sympathy, pity, sighs, support, a few twists and turns.

But the girl's expression quickly retracted.

“…… Sorry for the superfluous words. ”

"No, no, Alice said it, it must have been."

Yutong Shiai said.

He also knows a thing or two about the girl's character, and he is not a person who says much. What's more, for the race of magic envoys, it is indeed the magic envoys who know best.

"So, can't you tell Marisa?"

He looked at the girl.

"It's not that it can't, but it's not the time yet."

Alice corrected.

"As a human, she is now on her way to the path of the magician, but more than half of the human magicians have given up halfway. It's not because of lack of ability, it's not because there's no chance, it's just because they're reluctant to be human. Being rejected by the entire group she was familiar with before, and being feared by her relatives, this kind of awareness, she has not yet completely achieved. ”

Her lake-blue eyes were full of tenderness, as if the young girl with blond hair was right in front of her.

"So, now is not the time to put pressure on her, Ten Love. I'm not going to say anything to Marisa, and I'm not going to allow the Kiriyu family to do that. All the decisions are in her own hands, and all we need to do is wait quietly for her decision. ”

Shiai looked at the girl's face and couldn't help but smile.

"Alice is so gentle."

"Yes."

But Alice just smiled at the words of the ten loves.

"Maybe it's because you've been alone for too long, right?"

Then she changed her expression and became calm and closed.

"Ten loves, in the current world, everyone has grown up watching my puppetry. Including those who have grown old and settled in the ground. ”

"Watching the little children who were close to him at the beginning grow up little by little, coming of age, getting married, having children, growing old, and entering the ground, and then watching his children continue to grow up, get married, and have children...... The only thing that will never change is yourself. ”

She sighed.

"Perhaps, it was when I was too lonely and selfishly wanted someone to accompany me, I met Marisa."

Casually playing with the ends of her hair, she looked back at Yutong Shiai.

"However, I will never let my desire affect Marisa's future."

She stretched out her hand, and with a slight movement, the puppet behind her floated over to arrange the wine saucers, opened the wine jar and poured two plates.

"So, please don't meddle in this matter anymore, there is no need for you to get involved in this matter."

Then, she raised her wine saucer.

"Ah...... Got it. ”

Yutong Shiai also nodded.

It's strange that Alice is so sensitive about Marisa's affairs, but he can feel the other party's determination on this matter.

He lifted the plate, touched it with the girl, and drank it together.

"Speaking of which, where is Alice's home?"

He smiled.

"I should have gone earlier to say thank you, but I had been doing something before, and I didn't dare to go too far, so I didn't have the opportunity to visit."

And the blonde girl skipped the topic of the father and daughter of the foggy rain and smiled kindly at the boy.

"My words, live in a foreign mansion on the edge of the Enchanted Forest. If you want to find me, it's either in a western-style house or in the world, but I often wander around. ”

Alice explained the scope of her activities and then sent out an invitation.

"If you have time, you can come to the western-style restaurant, at least a cup of coffee and a dinner, I can still entertain one or two."

"Ah, I'll definitely visit when I have time."

Yutong Ten Love responded.
