……

Leaving the shrine early in the morning, Chen An returned to the Red Devil Pavilion, Misuzu was not there, and it is estimated that he has not gotten up yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thinking in his heart, Chen An cautiously opened the door and poked inside to observe.

But before he could get used to the dim light of the Red Devil Pavilion, Lumia and Fran had already rushed into his arms.

Lumia and Fran were half of each other, occupying Chen An's arms and shouting happily.

"Big brother, big brother!"

"Brother An!"

Behind him are the pouting umbrella and Kiruno.

Because the movement is a step slower, I can't find a place.

And then there was the Remy who was eyeing them.

"Hey, bastard, got caught by Lord Remy."

Remy clenched his fists and looked at Chen An and sneered.

"Do you dare to skip work and want to die ten thousand times?"

"Yes, you dare to skip work, bastard, are you looking for death?"

"Ha, haha."

Like two big dolls hugging Fran and Lumia in their arms, Chen An looked at the murderous Remy and Pache and burst into laughter.

"Isn't this Lord Remy and Patsy, what a coincidence, why did everyone get up so early today?"

As he spoke, his feet secretly retreated, Mom, he was actually caught by them, and he was going to suffer.

"It's not a big brother yet, if you don't come back for one night, Lumia is very worried."

Lumia puffed out her cute little face, puffing and puffing, hugged Chen An's neck and opened her small mouth to bite it, but she was a little reluctant, and finally just bit it gently, as if she was afraid that Chen An would hurt, and stretched out her pink little tongue and licked it, making Chen An feel like a mosquito bite.

"Uh-huh!"

Fran nodded vigorously, her big beautiful eyes glaring at Chen An, and pouting unhappily.

"Brother Ann is a bad guy, he doesn't return home at night, and Fran is also very angry, if he does this next time, Fran won't like Brother An."

"That's right, that's right, master, don't do this in the future, what if something happens."

"Yes, it's better to take me or others with you when you go out in the future, otherwise what if something happens."

Xiao Umbrella and Misuzu also got together and talked about it.

Since yesterday's conversation, Misuzu has been very worried about Chen An traveling alone, and it is obvious that everyone is like this.

"Alright, alright, I'm not Lumia and Fran who know what to do."

Hearing everyone's concern, Chen An tightened the two little guys in his arms and looked at everyone's concerned expressions. I was moved but also a little helpless.

He's not a child, so don't you exaggerate it.

With a snort, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, and Marisa raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph, compared to you, it's Rumia who is more reassuring."

At least Lumia doesn't worry people that much.

Pache tightened the book in her arms and grimaced.

"That's right, you bastard, you know every day to get into trouble, meddle in things, and lie everywhere."

Misty and the Great Goblin both nodded earnestly.

"Well, benefactor (Chen An) should be careful."

Except for Cuixiang, she drank without saying a word, as if she was just here to join in the fun.

Métikhin flew over and pulled Chen An's hair and said loudly.

"Didn't you say it, I won't have an accident until I kill you, don't go out casually in the future, what if something happens?"

"Good. I surrender, I surrender, okay? You won't run around in the future, will you? ”

Seeing that their verbosity seemed to be intensifying, Chen An could only interrupt them, helplessly guaranteeing it.

If you continue to ramble like this, you won't be able to finish it at night.

"You know each other."

Hearing his words, everyone was satisfied, especially Patchouli, whose stiff face also relaxed.

Chen An looked at Patchouli and found that she was not shouting and killing like she did yesterday, so he said cautiously.

"Patsy, aren't you angry?"

"Angry?"

Patchouli was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face became stiff again.

"Of course I'm angry, what do you think of the library? I actually skip work every once in a while, be careful that I punish you for copying books! ”

Hearing Pachuali's warning, Chen An didn't feel anything but smiled, because she didn't seem to be angry about yesterday's incident, which meant that she was safe.

Tsk, I suddenly found that Patchy is still very tolerant.

However, the little devil's face changed when he heard Pacully's warning, because she was often punished by Pache like this.

"Yes, yes."

Chen An smiled at Patchouli.

"Patsy is the most generous, the best, I will not dare in the future."

For some reason, Patchouli looked at Chen An's smile and had a hot face, and her pretty face was like the sunset on the horizon secretly dyed with a faint pink.

She hugged the magic book in her arms tightly and turned her face proudly.

"Hello, long-winded, don't think I'll let you go, remember to give me a good job in the future."

"Yes, yes."

Chen An smiled even more happily.

Remy was inexplicably furious.

She raised her eyebrows, walked to Chen An's side with wide eyes, and kicked it.

"Bastard, isn't it my Lord Remy!? How dare you say such a thing in front of Lord Remy, do you want to die ten thousand times! ”

She bit Chen An's wrist with a mouthful, and drank several mouthfuls of blood before wiping the bright red at the corner of her mouth and said loudly.

"Salary deduction, salary deduction, tell you, you have been deducted from your salary for another ten years, and you will work for Lord Remy in the Red Devil Pavilion for the rest of your life!"

Chen An: "......"

Can he go back on it? Suddenly I had the urge to change jobs and go to the sunflower shop.

……

Time passed quickly, it was the last day of autumn, and as winter approached, Gensokyo became a little depressed.

Fallen leaves were thickly piled up around the Red Devil Pavilion, and when the wind blew, it was a sky full of withered yellow leaves.

This morning, the Red Devil Pavilion.

"Huh, where's Lumia?"

Just as Sakiya and Misty were making breakfast and preparing to start the meal, Chen An found that there seemed to be one person missing from the table.

That's Lumia.

That's right, Lumia, who eats the most, is not on the table at this time.

This is not right, if it were usual, I should have sat at the table and banged on the bowl and shouted that I was hungry.

Chen An frowned, and carefully swept the table again, and found that Lumia was indeed not there, he asked.

"Fran, why hasn't Lumia come yet? Is it sleeping in the room? ”

"Huh, wouldn't you?"

Fran stepped on the stool, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the table with her eyes wide open, but she didn't find Lumia, and she bit her fingers in confusion.

"How could Lumia not be there, she got up early in the morning."

"Mmmm, Fran is right, Lumia got up super early today."

Kiruno grumbled.

"They got up before dawn and woke me up."

"What about her?"

Chen An's brows furrowed even deeper, and he turned his head to ask about the others.

"Did you see Lumia?"

"Nope."

Everyone shook their heads, saying they hadn't seen Lumia.

But Misuzu thought about it and said with some uncertainty.

"By the way, when I was still sleeping early this morning, I seem to have heard something at the door, it can't be Lumia, right?"

Because she was still sleeping at the time, Misuzu wasn't very sure about what she said.

By the way, at Chen An's request, Misuzu now does not watch the door at night, but uses the room closest to the gate as a lounge, except for often getting up at night to make rounds, it is not like in the past that even the big night has to stand at the door.

Well, in fact, there was no mandatory requirement to watch the door at night in the past, it was just a habit.

"What's going on?"

Chen An's brows furrowed even tighter, with Lumia's temperament, he actually ran out, and he hadn't come to breakfast yet, it was a little strange, it couldn't be something, right?

Thinking of this, Chen An became a little worried.

Worried and worried, Chen An didn't say it, just forced a smile at the people who were also worried.

"Forget it, although Lumia is a fool, but she has also lived in Gensokyo for so long, she will definitely be fine, I guess I found something fun and ran out, so let's eat first, and then go to Lumia after eating."

"Hmm."

Because of Lumia's disappearance, everyone was a little absent-minded about breakfast, and they had breakfast in a hurry, and before Chen An could speak, Fran had already screamed.

"Brother An, Fran is going to find Lumia too."

Although he had a fight with Lumia, the relationship between the two was actually very good.

Kirino also nodded.

"Uh-huh, I'm going too."

"I'll go too."

Putting on her beloved witch hat, Marisa decides to go with her.

No matter how she thought about it, she thought that today's incident of Lumia was unusual.

Marisa, on the other hand, has always been very confident in her instincts.

"Oh, this little ghost is really reassuring, add me one."

Cuixiang also sighed and added.

"And me, and me!"

Métikhin raised her hands and shouted.

"We'll go too!"

Norgre, Ligru, Fairy, and Misty are also worried.

They also have a very good relationship with Lumia.

Seeing this, Chen An did not refute everyone's thoughts about Lumia, and nodded.

"Okay, let's go together, so let's hurry up."

Chen An said to Sakuya and them.

"That's right, Sakiya. You and Luna are looking for the Red Devil Pavilion too, maybe that idiot is still in the Red Devil Pavilion, but he forgot to come to dinner.

And the little devil, you are also tired of walking around the library, maybe you hide in the library and fall asleep."

Although it is impossible, Chen An still hopes that the truth is like this, and somehow, the bad premonition has become stronger and stronger recently.

"Got it, we'll take notice."

Hearing the assurances of Sakuya and the little devil, Chen An's face was relieved, they were not like the willful Remy, they were still very reliable in their work.

"Then I'll bother you."

Thankful Oki Saki Ye and them nodded, Chen An stood up, the stool under him made a mark on the carpet, he looked at everyone, and said loudly.

"Alright, let's go."

"Yes!"

As everyone responded, the search for Lumia began.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of the Red Devil Pavilion, Chen An stopped and put on the witch hat on Marisa's head, and after doing this, he turned his eyes to look at everyone.

"Let's find so many of us separately, it will be faster. Now let's look around the Red Devil Pavilion and the Lake of Mist, maybe Lumia hasn't gone far. Remember, whether you find it or not, you will come back here to gather. ”

"Hmm!"

Then a group of people dispersed and searched for the vicinity of the Red Devil Pavilion and the Lake of Mist.

"Lumia, Lumia!"

Except for Chen An who can't fly and Nolu Ji who swims in the water, everyone is flying in the sky and shouting loudly in and around the Lake of Mist to find Lumia.

But after searching for a long time, no one found Lumia.

In the end, everyone had to go back to the Red Devil Pavilion to see if anyone else had gained anything.

It's a pity that it's all in vain.

Chen An was the last to return.

"Brother An, did you find Lumia?"

"yes, human, have you found Lumia?"

Seeing Chen An, Fran and Qi Luno immediately asked eagerly, except for them, everyone also looked at Chen An expectantly.

None of them were found.

"Nope."

Chen An glanced in the crowd, but he didn't see Lumia, who usually pounced on him and called out for his big brother when he saw him.

He frowned and pursed his lips.

"Didn't you find it either?"

"No, Fran and (9) Sauce have searched all the places in the neighborhood where they often go to play with Lumia, and they have also asked Lilica about them, but they still haven't found Lumia."

"Yes, we've all searched the Lake of Mist, but we can't find Lumia."

"Lulu is right."

Nolu Ji and the others talked nonsense.

Looking at Chen An, Fran pursed her mouth, and her cute little face was pulled down.

"Brother An, do you think something will happen to Lumia? Why do you want to leave alone without making a sound? ”

As if thinking of something bad, Fran's big eyes were full of glow.

"No, no."

Misty shook her head vigorously.

"Although Lumia is a little sloppy, I have known her for a long time, and I have never had an accident."

"Uh-huh!"

Both the Great Elf and Kiruno nodded vigorously.

"Lumia will not have an accident."

"So what the hell is going to do now?"

Marisa, who had been silent, suddenly screamed loudly, not even caring that the hat on her head was crooked again.

She bit her lip desperately.

"I haven't been able to find Lumia, what if something really happens?"

"Don't worry, Gensokyo is so big, Rumia may not be nearby, it may have gone somewhere else."

Looking at Fran, who was scared to tears because of Marisa's words, and Liglaw, who was even more worried. Chen An hurriedly comforted him.

"Lumia will be fine."

Chen An looked up at the sky, it was very clear, and the blue was very relaxing, but Chen An felt a little heavy inexplicably.

It's a depressing feeling.

Sighing in his heart, Chen An squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Well, since we haven't found it here, let's look elsewhere, and it may not be long before Lumia will come back on her own."

Chen An comforted everyone and said.

"Marisa, Métichin, go to the Enchanted Forest and ask Alice if she has seen Lumia.

Cui Xiang, you can go to Monster Mountain and ask Wenwen and the Heavenly Demons. ”

"There is also a small umbrella, you are familiar with people, so you will take Misty and the big goblin to find Meihong in the people to ask.

I'll go to Reimu, and you'll go to Fran, and I'll continue to look for it in the Lake of Mist, or maybe I just miss it. ”

"Hmm."

"Understood."

"Got it, master."

"Knowing Brother An, Fran will definitely find Lumia."

Everyone left the Red Devil Pavilion as soon as they could.

Let's hope Lumia is really okay......

Chen An stood in place for a while, looking at the fog-filled lake and the vast sky for a while, then suddenly sighed and left for the Hakuri Shrine.

Hurried all the way, Chen An soon came to the shrine.

As soon as he entered the shrine, before he had time to say hello to Reimu, he saw Yuyuko and Purple, who were sitting leisurely in the corridor drinking tea and eating, and next to them was Reimu with a depressed face.

Hey, it seems that Yuyuko and Purple came to the shrine again to eat and drink for nothing, and they came in a group.

Looking at the leisurely purple women, Chen An's mood suddenly relaxed.

Drinking tea, Zi looked at the blue sky and sighed happily.

"Allah, Allah. Today's weather and tea are good. ”

Ahh

"It's a drop, it's a drop. Today's food was delicious, too. ”

Yuyuko agreed, and then stuffed all the biscuits in his hand into his mouth.

It was a snack that Chen An left for Reimu.

Looking at the two guys who were sitting there facing each other and talking unashamedly, Chen An was a little speechless.

Do you really think of the shrine as their own home?

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Reimu.

"Hey, Reimu, how are these two guys here? Forget about Yuyuko, shouldn't Zi still sleep in the bed? ”

"How do I know, two bastards, who came to disturb my dreams early in the morning, and shamelessly rummaged around the shrine without my consent, and as a result, my tea and food were all gone."

Reimu said, waving the imperial coin in his hand at the two of them, as if he wanted to beat them.

Damn, these two stinking bastards.

Seeing Reimu's anger, Yuyuko stuffed some more food into her mouth, and her trademark smirk appeared on her face.

"Ouch, don't be so stingy with Lingmeng, it's just a little bit of food, besides, isn't Chen An also there? Wouldn't it be nice if you let him leave a little bit to eat in a moment. ”

Looking at Yuyuko's unashamed appearance, Reimu hooked the corners of her mouth to the side, squinted and sneered.

She ruthlessly exposed Yuyuko's careful thoughts.

"Then it's convenient for you to enjoy next time, isn't it?

This is super edible, doesn't give money, and only knows how to talk big, but can say this kind of thing, it seems that she still underestimates the thickness of her face.

"Ah, ahaha, don't worry about those details."

The smirk on Yuyuko's face froze, obviously being carefully thought about by Reimu's words, and she hurriedly brushed her face and changed the topic.

"Now, Chen An, are those little ghosts willing to let you go?"

She was talking about the meaninglessness of the scene some time ago, which eventually led to him being chased and killed by Patchouli, fleeing to Hakurei Shrine, and being caught by Yuka.

After that time, Lumia and the others seemed to be afraid that they would never see Chen An again one day, so they stuck to his side and refused to leave.

No, if it weren't for Lumia running out alone this morning without knowing what was going on, and letting everyone look for her, Chen An might not have come out alone!

He also came to the shrine this time to look for Lumia, but Rumia didn't see it, but saw Murasaki and Yuyuko as if they had made the Hakurei Shrine their home, swaggering and enjoying the food he left for Reimu.

"Nope."

Chen An shook his head.

"Lumia doesn't know why she left the Red Devil Pavilion early this morning, I don't know where she went, and now I'm looking for her, but I haven't found the Lake of Fog and the Red Devil Pavilion, so I'll come to the shrine to have a look, maybe I might run here. By the way, did you see her? ”

Speaking of which, Chen An also asked, and he was also looking for it at the shrine.

"Nope."

Yuyuko also turned her silly-looking face to look left and right.

Scratching and biting on the biscuits, Yuyuko said.

"Purple and I came early, but we didn't see Lumia's little guy."

"Really? It's a pity. ”

Hearing Youyuzi's words, Chen An sighed lightly, and the smile on his face faded.

Isn't it at the shrine either? What the hell did that idiot do out there?

Whew~ I hope others can have a harvest.

"Lumia? Gone, isn't it...... Missing!? ”

Hearing Chen An's words, Lingmeng didn't know why the word suddenly popped out of his brain.

Her pupils shrank, and the imperial coin in Lingmeng's hand was dead, she looked at Chen An, who was sighing, and suddenly said loudly.

"Now that Lumia is gone, why are you still here chatting with us? Why don't you hurry up and find it! ”

Chen An looked at the suddenly mad Lingmeng a little inexplicable, and he scratched his head.

"Am I not looking? It's just that I'm looking for it here, and since there's no one here, I'll leave right away. ”

"Straight away. What are you talking to Yuyuko about right now, why don't you hurry up? Hum! That little ghost is really unsettling, and I don't want to see these two cheeky white diners right now. I'll go with you to find it. ”

Reimu glared at the sneering Purple and Yuyuko, then stood up and pulled Chen An out of the Hakuri Shrine in a hurry.

After Reimu and Chen An left, Yuyuko suddenly stopped eating, and she looked at Reimeng's hurried figure for a while before opening the folding fan.

The expression on his face that looked silly because he was carefree also became serious. It's not at all like usual.

"Purple, Reimu seems to be a little too anxious, it's not like she usual to care about one thing so much."

"Heh, maybe it was the disappearance of the ancestors back then that left too much shadow on her, that's why Reimu is so sensitive to disappearance."

Zi Wenyan sighed and stopped drinking tea.

She stared at the sky blankly for a moment, and suddenly her eyes darkened, as if she was laughing at herself.

"Even I don't know where the ancestors went. Oh, it's ironic that I'm still a sage. ”

Not only that, but what happened when the ancestors disappeared? Why Lumia became a child, she didn't know at all.

"Ancestors? Hakurei's shrine maiden? ”

Yuyuko fell silent.

Somehow she thought of something, she sighed faintly.

"Hee-hee, what a heavy title."

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Zileng looked at the sky, her pupils were out of focus, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"...... Hakurei"

Suddenly, the flawless clouds in the sky seemed to turn into familiar figures, making Zi's heart heavier and heavier.

The wind suddenly stopped, and the flawless white clouds in the sky were dyed a faint black at some point, and the originally relaxed atmosphere seemed to become sad.
