In the quiet mountain forest, the unattended Hakurei Shrine stands alone on the top of the mountain, and the shrine that Hakurei Unmu and Yakumo Murasaki cleaned when they came over earlier has fallen down here because no one has been there for a long time, and the dilapidated appearance of the previous one is re-revealed.

There are also some wild beasts that seem to use this place as a nest, and the droppings of unknown beasts can be found everywhere in many parts of the shrine. When Yakumo Purple walked out of the gap, she almost stepped on one of them, and Yakumo Blue who came out with her was not so lucky. After Yakumo secretly moved the position of the gap, she successfully stepped on a piece of dry and hard dung.

"Purple-sama, can you not do such a thing?" Yakumo Blue complained to Yakumo Murasaki while glad that it wasn't fresh beast droppings.

"What are you talking about, Blue? Don't blame others for your own carelessness. Of course, Yakumo Purple would not admit it, and after looking around, she tried to use the power of the realm to successfully make Hakurei Shrine clean and tidy again.

After tidying up a little, the two walked out of the Hakurei Shrine together.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air in the mountains and forests, Yakumo Lan looked at the blue sky that was not so blue for a moment, and then asked, "Lord Zi, is this the real outside world?" ”

"Sure enough, as I expected, I can re-enter and exit the outside world again......" After thinking about something in his heart that he didn't need to tell Yakumo Lan, Yakumo Zi smiled and nodded and replied to her: "That's right, this is the real world." Gensokyo where we are is a fake...... No, maybe it's a real world now. ”

After Yakumo Lan asked, he didn't ask anything. As a Shikigami, she follows the standard of action with the master's will as the first, Yakumo Blue is not a Shikigami who likes to ask questions to the master, and she also clearly knows that there are many things she doesn't need to know, all she needs to do is obediently obey the instructions of Yakumo Purple, the master.

Yakumo stood on the steps of the shrine and looked down at the money box with several large holes broken below, closed her eyes and was silent for a while, and then instructed Yakumo Murasaki: "Blue, you stay here first, and if you meet anyone who wants to leave Gensokyo, stop her - no matter who it is, including Hakurei Shrine Maiden!" ”

Yakumo Lan nodded quietly, and did not say any bold promises, but Yakumo Zi, who knew her own god-like character, knew very well that she would never let herself down, so Yakumo Zi opened the gap and left the Hakurei Shrine.

In the next second, Yakumo Zi came to Mitsusaka Town.

didn't get out of the gap, Yakumo Murasaki kept seeing the girls who walked out of the station into the hotel in the cracks between the gaps, and then walked out of the uninhabited alley a little farther away.

"Moriya Shrine ......" Yakumo Murasaki thought to herself for a while, and then unhurriedly looked for the bus stop sign, and waited a few minutes later to get on the bus and go to Moriya Shrine.

The place where the shrine is located is one of the bus stops, and although most outsiders are skeptical of the rumors of the shrine, the locals are still very fond of the shrine, so it is specially set up for the convenience of residents to visit the shrine often.

"No one." Standing outside the door of Moriya Shrine, Yakumo Murasaki didn't need to knock on the door to feel the breath of no human being in the shrine.

"But......" Yakumo squinted at the power of faith that swirled in the sky above the shrine, "although there is no one, there are other ...... Is it a god? ”

With a smile on her face that she saw something interesting, Yakumo knocked on the closed door of the shrine: "Is anyone there?" ”

Of course, no one will answer.

Yakumo Zi stood still for a moment, and when he saw that no one replied, he laughed again: "There is such a powerful faith power surrounding the shrine, but I can't even find out that I am a monster, how weak is the god of this shrine?" ”

Then Yakumo pushed open the locked gate and walked into the Moriya Shrine.

Within a few steps, Yakumo met the deity she wanted to see.

"Hey, it's in vain that you look so good, and you actually do this kind of trespassing on other people's homes!" A wild blonde lori with a strange hat with two big eyes on the front jumps out and accuses Yakumo of Murasaki's actions.

Yakumo Zi tilted his head and looked at this Lori: "It's really interesting, it's clear that there is a lot of power of faith entangled here, but as a result, you don't need this god at all, no wonder it looks so weak." ”

"What? You—! Aren't you human? "I just thought that the other party was a thief who didn't even let go of the shrine, and Suwako was surprised when she heard Yakumo's words.

"Didn't you notice how I opened the door?" Yakumo asked rhetorically.

“…… It's all Kanako's stupidity, what are you talking about......"

Not fully hearing what Suwako was saying, Yakumo asked again, "I'm a youkai sage from Gensokyo, Yakumo Murasaki." Who are you, Lord Spirit? ”

Although I don't quite understand what Gensokyo is, but since the other party has reported his name, and he is still a monster sage, Suwako immediately became vigilant: "I used to control the god of eight million indigenous gods like Suwa Myojin, the apex of eight million indigenous gods, Suwako, if you want to find fault, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place!" ”

Although he said reckless words, Suwako still quietly informed Kanako Yasaka.

"I'm not here to find fault." Yakumo didn't debunk Suwako's small action of calling her teammates, and still explained with a smile, "I didn't come here for something as boring as fighting the gods. Rather, I'm actually here to help you. ”

"Help me...... Guys? Suwako, who understood that she had seen through, frowned and stood with Kanako Yasaka, who came out, "I don't know what our gods need help from a youkai like you!" ”

"Do you really need no faith at all?" Yakumo Zi asked tepidly, "Although there is indeed a lot of faith power around this Shouya Shrine, it is obvious that the two of you do not have the power to use these powers, otherwise it would be impossible for you to be weak to this point with the level of eight million gods you once commanded, right?" With your current level of strength, I'm afraid you only have the lowest ability to maintain your own existence, right? And the god next to you, although I don't know who you are, but I can stand in the same shrine with Suwa Myojin, I'm afraid my level is not low, right? But in my opinion, your current strength is not much different from that of this Suwa Myojin......"

"Enough!" Suwako Yaya interrupted Yakumo's words and asked with a serious expression, "What is the help you are talking about?" You just say it, you don't need to remind us of these things! ”

Yakumo Zi bowed his head slightly, and smiled reservedly: "Although I still don't understand why there is faith around Shouya Shrine and you can't use it, but I think this probably has nothing to do with human nature...... In today's society, it will be more and more difficult to collect human beliefs, have you ever considered collecting other beliefs, such as youkai? ”

Suwako and Kanako Yasaka glanced at each other, and both of them also showed puzzled expressions: "Faith in collecting youkai?" Are you telling jokes? Not to mention that most of the yokai themselves are not willing to believe in gods, and in this day and age, even yokai are difficult to see, and such a number of yokai simply cannot meet our faith needs. ”

"Then what if there are a large number of youkai in another place, and they are not the kind of violent youkai that are easy to believe in you?"
