Speaking of the Lake of Mist, I remember that the guys who ran to the dream store to drink by themselves said that there is a goblin boss with a very high IQ and ice attributes, and he is one of the few top French bosses in Gensokyo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although at that time, I asked those monsters why a legal boss would have such a tall martial arts name skill, but it was despised on the grounds that it was [really superficial to judge by name]. Sure enough, in Gensokyo, extraordinary knowledge is common sense, Eun.

Reminiscing like this, Yutong Shiai nodded at the ice spirit who was laughing between the two fishing rods.

"Do you know where the legendary strongest and only Ice boss who drops Frost Sorrow is in the Lake of Mist, Miss Kiruno?"

He still remembers the stupid goblin who sold all the way to the banquet in Hakurei.

"Hahahahaha

Bing Jing held her chest so high, and her little face was full of pride.

“…… I don't know what you're thinking, but I always feel like it must be a deep misunderstanding......"

Alice frowned, then turned her gaze to the frozen fool in the air.

"And it looks like we've been pranked by the goblins."

With that, the two dolls beside her flew over, easily lifting the rod, which was too large for them, and tearing the line out of the water.

Originally, the place where the earthworm used as bait was two frogs frozen in ice crystals.

“…… The IQ of the goblins really doesn't grow. ”

She showed a little helplessness at the unexpected ten loves.

"I don't know what gossip you've heard, but I have to tell you, Ten Love, at least among the ice spirits I know, this one with an IQ of less than two digits is the strongest one."

"Yes, yes, Qiluno is the strongest, hum~"

The pride on the young face of the ice-blue haired girl became more and more obvious, as if she had turned a deaf ear to the evaluation of her IQ before [the strongest].

“…… Huh? ”

Ten Ai showed a surprised expression.

He looked at the Ice Spirit.

"I didn't ...... Not that exaggerated, right? ”

But the blonde witch began to uncover the truth enthusiastically.

"Kiruno, how many ice spirits are there in the Lake of Mist?"

"Nine!"

The fairy girl straightens her waist.

"How many are there besides you?"

The blonde girl continued to preload and ask questions.

"Nine of course! Anyway, it's 9 of them! 9 can never be wrong! ”

Fairy girl straights up...... No, this time it's discontinuation.

Yutong Shiai frowned and turned her head to look at the girl.

"That...... Alice, can I ask you something? ”

"Sure enough, you've listened to some nonsense rumors."

Alice no longer cares about the fluttering ice spirit in the sky because she is praised by others as the strongest, and looks at the boy who turned to her, revealing a look of understanding.

"You have to be careful, youkai do a lot of boring and dangerous things to pass the time."

“…… Let me ask you first, the huge dragon-shaped stone pillar in the central square of the village is ......"

"I heard that it was originally a stone sculpture used to worship the dragon god in the human world, but then it was done by the kappa on the mountain of youkai, and I heard that the current dragon eyes will predict the weather the next day and then change color, but I heard that it is not very accurate, but it is better than nothing for the people in the human world."

The girl gave the answer she knew.

"Huh?"

Isn't it a touching pillar for quick teamwork, isn't it possible to provide bonfire repair equipment, isn't it also able to provide medium-range enemy hunting during night battles, isn't it possible to improve the Akagi index, isn't it the basic building of upgrading civilization?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After another singing and crying impassioned reversal, Alice finally corrected the strange understanding that had been ingrained in the young man's mind.

"In short, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Sunflower Field is the most dangerous place in the entire Gensokyo! Don't go inside if it's not necessary, especially don't hurt the plants there! ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she finished talking about the last dangerous place, and then looked back at the stupid ice spirit that kept catching frogs and freezing them on the line of two fishing rods.

So it seems that the frog can be used in the dishes tonight and for the next two days.

No, no, no...... If you don't eat frogs, it's better not to eat them.

The girl shook her head, her mind was also a little dazed by the terrible knowledge of Yutong Shiai's before, but if you think about it, frogs are also a part of the ecology of the Lake of Mist, right?

It looked like there were a dozen frogs strung on both rods, and the frog fool was still working tirelessly to grab the little green-skinned creatures.

And the teenagers around him also unexpectedly gave people a headache.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, leaned her back against the trunk, and exhaled.

When we first met, the boy looked very embarrassed, but there was a very relaxed feeling, as if he had achieved something, as if he had obtained some hope, like the hole in the forest that would never see the light of day, revealing the sun, reflecting on the damp ground.

Later, the boy in the Red Devil Pavilion showed a sword-like side. It was also at that time that the blonde witch decided, admitting the fantasy of Yutong Ten Ai as a part of Gensokyo, and officially reached a friendship.

But after the change caused by Ibuki Suika that night, something is wrong with the boy named Yutong Juai.

That night, the young man took the initiative to ask the ghost for a drink, and after lifting the gourd, he did not put it down for a long time.

The ghost's wine gourd is not what it seems, and it can be said that the gourd [Ibuki Scoop] can provide a drink for a banquet.

But the teenager drinks differently than everyone else.

No race would drink like that, not even the ghosts.

That's acting purely for the sake of drinking, not for wanting to drink.

Ibuki praised him for his pride, but the blonde girl knew that the boy's character itself would not drink so proudly.

He was normal at that feast, like the maidens, with a saucer, toasting everywhere, neither appearing to be more than the people, nor to appear to have drunk less.

The boy's personality is on the quiet side.

And after that, she also heard some words from the house scholar in the Red Devil Pavilion.

As far as Alice Margot Royd is concerned, she is not a magician who has lived for many years, and conversely, she is only a newcomer to the magician. She also remembers the various emotions of human beings, and is also easily affected by emotions.

So she wanted to help the teenager.

Out of friendship, but also out of some selfishness.

Opening her eyes, the girl looked at the boy.

"Sometimes, do you want a family?"

She asked the question.

Then, Yutong Shiai was like a lightning strike.

The girl's question was originally an allusion to how Yutong Shiai would treat Yakumo Zi next, but it was clear that the boy named Yutong Shiai seemed to have other people who were implicated in the word "family".

"Probably, there is one who resembles a family. But I don't know if I'm still alive. ”

He replied.

There was a bit of nostalgia in the boy's eyes, but it could be seen that he didn't care much about that family. Although the feelings are real, they are very bland.

…… Probably, herein lies the problem.

The girl asks about probably the most important and dangerous topic right now.

“…… That, Yayun Purple, how important is it to Yutong Ten Love? ”

Although her lake-blue eyes glowed with gentle waves, underneath them was a deep and mysterious, undercurrent surging lake, and the slight frown also showed that she was still a little hesitant about this question.

She naturally knew what kind of problem this was, and she also knew that her current friendship with the teenager could not be tortured so deeply, but she still said it.

“…… Alice?! ”

The boy looked at himself in disbelief, and Alice sighed inwardly.

“…… I'm sorry, Shiai, but this time I mentioned it first. ”

How could you be in such a hurry to throw out the question, why do you have a feeling of sympathy for this teenager.

The magic made Alice look away, rejecting the feeling.

I also know that it is a cruel thing to be hurt by good intentions.

She looked at the Ice Elf, who had given up on filling the entire rod with frozen frogs, sighed, changed her mood, and smiled at the boy's somewhat worried gaze.

"Let's talk about it today, Shiai, if you don't get rid of the mischievous ice spirit first, you won't be able to get the ingredients for dinner."

"Alright, Alice."

The teenager, who knew that things would not end so easily, could only sigh. Putting aside the topic, the girl and the boy turned their gaze back to the ice elf who was hanging boredly on the fishing rod and pulling around.

"The goblins are really carefree......"

"yes......"

And the ice spirit under the gaze of the two of them looked at the frozen frog skewers he made with satisfaction, showing a simple happy smile.

She turned to look at the boy and girl.

"Alice, who else, look, this is the power of the Ice Spirit! Scary, right!? ”

"Ahh......h Let our fishing ambitions be completely unfulfillable. ”

Yutong Shiai said with a wry smile.

The girl smiled.

After that, let's talk about that later. The blonde magician thought to himself.

She expertly pointed to the distant sky, a look of surprise.

"Look, Kiruno, there's just a big frog flashing in the sky over there!"

"Nani!?"

The blue-haired young girl immediately turned around and looked at the sky.

The blonde girl tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said with a regretful expression very skillfully.

"Eh, I flew away, but I shouldn't be able to fly far, and if you chase it, you should be able to catch up."

After hearing this obviously nonsense answer...... The frozen fool immediately shouted Demacia and rushed out, in the direction pointed by the blonde girl...... Completely different directions!

After a period of life in Gensokyo, Yutong Shiai has probably become somewhat resistant to these things. In this regard, he only let out a few hard laughs in embarrassment to lighten the atmosphere.

"Alright, now, no one will disturb us to relax."

As she spoke, the girl ordered the dolls to break the ice cubes to release the frogs, then loaded them with bait and threw them into the water.

She turned her head and looked at Yutong Shiai, the corners of her mouth hooked.
