Curtain 16 The Lightless One with Hope
The underworld, where the White Jade Tower is located, is located above Gensokyo, and there is a cherry blossom enchantment between the two. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether you go to Gensokyo from the underworld, or go to the underworld from Gensokyo without knowing whether you are alive or dead, this is a must-go place.
And now, the boy with the great mission of setting things right is moving towards the underworld with the unknown victims.
The wind blew on the ears of the two, blowing the young man's righteous and awe-inspiring face.
The girl who flew in front of her to lead the way seemed to be a little concerned, and after a few hesitations, she turned back in confusion.
“…… Although it is very rude, I still want to ask, is it that Yutongjun has some subtle misunderstanding of our Baiyulou? ”
"No, absolutely not, I have already fully understood the current situation of Baiyulou in the next ~ minute, Miss Soul."
The young man's face was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"It is precisely for this reason that it is necessary to meet with the eldest lady of Saigyoji Temple as soon as possible, so please concentrate on leading the way."
"Oh...... Oh yes. ”
Although the girl still led the way, the sense of confusion still existed.
The young man's face was righteous and awe-inspiring.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Huh?"
Gently withdrawing her lips from the other's forehead, Yakumo Zi looked at the dark sky amid Yuyuko's unsatisfied whining.
"Yuyuko, the two of them are here."
"Really...... I really don't pick the time. ”
Yuyuko left the other party's arms in a huff, and was sitting up, looking at Yakumo Murasaki.
"So, Purple, are you leaving, or are you going to stay?"
Do you want to continue to distance yourself from Yutong Shiai, this sword, or sit down and talk to him once?
This multiple-choice question is only Yakumo Zi has the right to choose, and as a close friend, Saiyuji Temple is not willing to participate in even a trace of his own will to influence the other party.
What Yakumo Zi needs is simple, and only the choice of her own will can she not regret it in the future.
The pink pupils like the fluttering cherry blossoms are facing the other party's amethyst-like deep and phantomous eyelids, which are straightforward inquiries and restrained hesitation.
Time is minute by minute, and the falling flowers are fluttering and shaking.
The pity in Yuyuko's heart piled up over time. The longer she hesitated, the more conflicted Yakumo's heart became.
But now is not the time to relent, she must let the boy arrive, let her best friend determine her true thoughts.
Yuyuko knows, and Yakumo Murasaki also knows, that this choice leads to a different future.
Yakumo still maintained the posture of looking at the dark night sky, but the slight trembling body expressed her uncalm heart.
It seems like...... It was like that a long time ago.
Yuyuko looked at the blonde sage and sighed inwardly.
She already knew the other party's choice, and she had already witnessed this choice.
“…… Sure enough, I still ......"
The gap opened, and Yakumo's sage showed an ugly smile.
Sure enough, I still forced myself like this.
Although she is a little dissatisfied, the undead girl will not change her best friend's will.
“…… Well, go well. ”
Yuyuko smiled softly.
As I thought, all I need to do is support her.
"But don't sleep in the closet for too long, Purple."
“…… I know. ”
Then, the gap closes.
Seeing that there was only one person left in the tea party between the two, Yuyuko had no idea of meeting Yutong Shiai here. She got up lightly and returned to the White Jade Tower, leaving only the hollow and terrifying body of the Westbound Demon like a black withered bone claw that broke out of the ground, powerlessly and desperately opening up towards the sky.
"What shouldn't have come has come, what shouldn't have gone, but gone."
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Yutong Ten Love is the first time to come to the underworld.
It's a place that doesn't have the light source that shines like the sun, and it doesn't have a clear blue sky, but it's definitely not inferior to Gensokyo.
Everything in the underworld is exuding the light of its own soul.
There is no sunlight, no sound of the wind, only a self-shining world and flying around, glowing ghosts dotting every corner of the world, coupled with the light effect of this beautiful world, it can be said to be a rare beautiful scenery. The air was eerily silent, but it was this silence that made the world so beautiful that it could not tolerate the noise of the living.
Dead and silent, cold, gorgeous, beautiful, this is the underworld, a paradise that does not belong to the living, lifeless but beautiful.
The land of the undead, the heavenly netherworld.
The human body and spirit body of the soul demon dream all radiated the same light, and he bowed lightly in front of the young man.
"Welcome to the Underworld, Yutong-kun."
“…… Ahh ”
Yutong Shiai nodded, hiding her surprise at the magnificent scenery of the underworld.
He seemed to remember something, and raised his hand slightly.
No.
The soul demon dream also saw the strangeness of the boy.
Not...... No!?
Yes, the teenager did not exude his own brilliance.
"This ...... What's going on, Yutong Ten Love!? ”
Unable to suppress it, the soul demon dream blurted out in surprise and doubt.
Impossible, even the inanimate earth and stone have their own light in the underworld, which is the soul given by the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the meaning of the existence of things.
But the young man in front of him really didn't emit light. What can be seen with the naked eye is only an image that is seen by the reflection of light from other objects.
The corners of Yutong Shiai's mouth hooked up a wry smile. He looked at the troubled girl in front of him and shook his head.
"To put it in a cool way, it's probably [this body is meaningless]."
After speaking, he was the first to walk towards this dead and colorful world.
Whether it is a human being or a demon, at least in the underworld, it has its own meaning, and for the world, it is recognized. Even earth, rocks, and trees exist as part of the world.
The world acknowledges everything that exists, even everything that has died.
Except for the fantasy creation of a certain Yakumo Sage, which is completely incomprehensible, what exists does not exist.
And as a non-existent thing, Yutong Shiai has already done this awareness. There is nothing in the world, just be the sword of that girl.
So that she will no longer sing such a lullaby under such a desperate sky.
This is the reason why he entered Gensokyo, came into contact with Gensokyo, and aimed at the Sword of Gensokyo, how could he be stunned here because of such a thing.
It's all for the girl.
No matter how far the girl is from herself now, no matter how she treats herself when she declares war on the world later, she is still the meaning of the whole world to him.
No matter what look she had on him.
But......
"Sure enough...... I'm still ......."
The eyelids sank, and the pure fantasy revealed an ugly smile.
It's a pity that there is no one around him who can understand this smile like hers.
“…… Yutong-kun, is it a little uncomfortable with the underworld? You don't look good. ”
"Huh? No, no, no, although the underworld has never been seen, compared with Gensokyo or the outside world, it is not inferior in any way, and it has a pleasing scenery. ”
Yutong Shiai naturally wants to hide the smile just now.
"Miss Saigyoji must still be waiting for us, please lead the way, Miss Soul."
Soul Demon Dream gave him a serious look, then walked to the front and began to lead the way.
“…… Well, please, Yutong-kun. ”
"Hmm."
Yutong Shiai looked into the distance, the towering giant tree.
It was a withered and rotten black iron, a bone claw that desperately opened its palms to the sky, wrapped in a barely visible blue light.
Hopeless?
Deadhearted?
The boy raised his hand and shook it at the leafless tree called the Westward Demon, a wolf-like smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's too early, right!?
So, a hand that had no light at all clenched the image of a giant tree with a slight glow in the distance.
The lightless boy shuttles through this world of light, and for him, the reason to walk alone is enough.
