"Cut, those guys are so ruthless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At this time, Chen An was aimlessly spinning around the monster mountain, and his face was still a little indignant.

When they lit the fire and prepared to dry his clothes, Pache drove him away, saying that they were afraid that he would be wolfish.

Especially Patchouli, if it weren't for Chen An's fast running, she would have directly bombarded people with magic, doesn't it mean that she is wearing sexy? Is that a compliment, and does it need to be so angry?

"Bastard, am I the kind of person who wants to see a lust!"

Thinking of this, Chen An muttered indignantly.

Not to mention Lumia's little guys, even Patchouli stripped naked and stood in front of him, Chen An could hold it, otherwise, hum, the first time I met Patchouli, it would be over.

Uh, and then he guessed it was over.

"Hey, human."

Just when Chen An was depressed, a blonde girl wearing a purple dress printed with a frog pattern and a strange hat with two eyes suddenly appeared in the grove on the side of the road.

As soon as she jumped out of the grove, she stopped in front of Chen An and asked.

"Do you have faith?"

Su Fangzi looked at Chen An in front of him and had some expectations in his heart.

She has been following her for a long time, but she didn't expect to sneak out to play today, and actually saw an amazing strange person, which is really surprising.

"No, what?"

Chen An was stunned, came back from his depression, and looked at Sufangzi a little puzzled.

Who is this chick, why haven't you seen it before?

And faith? Hmph, Chen An suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, the ghost only believes!

Hearing Chen An's answer, Su Fangzi showed an excited look on her face, and she couldn't wait.

"Do you want to believe in gods?"

"I don't want to."

The strange feeling in his heart made Chen An shake his head decisively without thinking about it.

It's a pity, although he doesn't feel anything about gods or the like, but Chen An always feels very disgusted with the word faith. So if you kill him, he won't believe anything.

"Hey~ why?"

Sufangzi was a little disappointed.

"No, I don't believe it anyway."

Chen An pursed his lips and looked at the dejected Sufangzi, he said suspiciously.

"Girl, who are you? Is it someone from Yokai Mountain? How come I haven't seen you before? ”

"My name is Subako, an indigenous god, yes, I live at the nearby Moriya Shrine."

Sufangzi answered the question gloomily, but he was still a little unwilling.

"Don't you really want to believe in gods? But there are many benefits. ”

Chen An was categorical.

"No matter what the benefits, I don't believe it!"

"Woo~"

Su Fangzi was a little frustrated, but his eyes rolled and he came up with an idea again.

"Then how about I invite you to the shrine?"

Bring it back and let Kanako and Sanae persuade you, maybe there will be a turnaround.

Especially Kanako, that guy has always had a lot of ghost ideas.

"Well...... Good. ”

Chen An thought about it and agreed, anyway, there is nowhere to go now, and the ghost knows how long it will take for Patchouli and them.

If you go back early, and you are really treated as a pervert by them, isn't it a big trouble?

I guess I'll be killed directly by Mu Q, right?

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but shudder, it was really too unjust.

There's also the shrine mentioned by Sufangzi.,I've heard Hina and Wenwen say it before.,The name is quite familiar (Wenwen they had this feeling when they first said it),But I haven't had a chance to go.,Let's go see it this time.。

I don't know how it compares to Reimu's poor and broken shrine. It shouldn't be too bad, right?

Thinking so, he followed Sufangzi, who was excitedly leading the way in front.

……

Hakurei Shrine.

"Ahh

Reimu, who was drinking tea and talking to Purple, suddenly sneezed and almost hit the teacup in his hand.

"What's wrong, do you have a cold?"

Purple watched Reimu sneeze, and it was rare that she didn't laugh, but was a little worried.

"No, it's just a normal sneeze."

Reimu put down the cup and touched her nose with some confusion.

Probably who was thinking about her, just as Reimu was thinking this, Purple spoke again.

She pursed her thin lips and looked serious, and asked an inexplicable question.

"Reimu, how are you feeling right now?"

Reimu was silent.

She was silent for a while before she said lightly,

"Don't worry, as long as there are no accidents, you will be fine in your lifetime, heh, you don't have much time in your lifetime anyway."

At the end, Reimu's voice suddenly became a little desolate.

"Maybe I'll be like grandma in the end......"

The disappearance is unknown.

"Ancestors...... Is it? ”

Zi's expression darkened for a moment, and he didn't answer, just lowered his eyelids and continued with his previous words.

"That's the best, alas, I really didn't expect the inherited demonic nature to explode in you, this is really ......"

Zi said, and couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, except for Hine, the past Hakurei witches are fine, why is there a problem when it comes to Reimu?

“…… Fate makes a fool of you. ”

Reimu tugged at the corners of her mouth and fell silent.

She raised her head and looked at the vast blue sky in the sky, which was obviously her favorite sunny day, but it made her feel a little sad at the moment.

She is a Hakurei shrine maiden, her heart is as calm and tolerant as the sky, but her people are as leisurely and ...... as the white clouds in the sky Drift away.

The gathering of clouds will always disperse, and the feast will end in the end, but it is just the length of time, and everything in the world is probably like this.

For some reason, Lingmeng suddenly thought of what Chen An had said to her before.

"You're dead. I'll go to hell and pull you back, don't worry. ”

Is that a joke, or is it a promise?

If it's a joke, that's the best, but if it's a promise, I hope Chen An won't do anything stupid.

She thought silently in her heart, but her hand unconsciously held the pendant on her chest, which was a gift from Chen An.

Reimu tightened her hand, a warm sensation coming from the cold palm, she looked at the purple eye, and suddenly laughed.

But to know him and know them is not bad in this life.

Especially recently, the mood of treating everyone equally has been slightly broken, and there is some joy in hesitation.

"Fate? Perhaps. ”

Purple couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Reimu's slightly sad appearance.

Under Reimu's strange gaze, Zi suddenly stood up and walked outside the shrine.

Standing outside the shrine, the old elder who looks a little dry and cold after autumn pulls the purple figure together, and the shadow seems to merge with the shadow of the shrine, regardless of each other.

She looked at the ancient and dilapidated, deserted and quiet shrine in front of her, and suddenly remembered that the first witch of Hakurei's power was not Hakurei, but ...... 冴.

The ability of endless rebirth, but because he received the power of the dragon god, he was finally crushed by its side effects and was sealed.

And every other Hakurei shrine maiden, they are all the same beautiful, powerful, kind, tolerant and ...... Ephemeral.

Yes, short-lived, just like the original Hakurei, obviously stronger than many youkai, but in the end like a meteor, bright and short-lived.

"...... Hakurei"

Purple remembered that she founded Gensokyo with her, but in the end there was nothing left, no, there were still friends left in this deserted shrine in front of her, and murmured, an inexplicable emotion suddenly made Purple anxious.

Without a sound, a pitch-black gap appeared in front of Purple.

Holding her beloved umbrella, she stepped into the gap with a blank face, left Hakurei Shrine, and reappeared, but in the sky of Gensokyo.

She silently lowered her head and looked at Gensokyo, endless green, red, blue, all kinds of colors appeared in her eyes one by one, and then pieced together a peaceful out-of-this-world scene in her mind.

Gensokyo is still as peaceful as ever.

She thought about it, but her heart became inexplicably sad.

Purple looks at all of Gensokyo.

The first thing that caught her attention was the village where smoke rose from time to time, and it was the human world where all the humans and many youkai in Gensokyo lived.

Purple Numb turned his eyes to Yokai Mountain, where tengus, kappa, yokai, and former oni lived.

Then there is the Lost Bamboo Forest, which is the emperor's territory.

There is also the Sun Flower Field, where the Kazami Yuka and the flower fairies live.

Then there's the Lake of Mist, where most of the goblins are.

Enchanted Forest? It's the domain of magicians and monsters.

The White Jade Tower of the Underworld, the passage connecting the Demon Realm, the Dream Pavilion of the Sun Flower Field, the Eternal Pavilion of the House of Yakumo, the Red Devil Pavilion of the Hakurei Shrine, the Earth Spirit Hall of the Shouya Shrine, and the lake realm left behind by the invasion of the moon.

All of Gensokyo's eyes seemed to enter Purple's sight together at this moment.

Everything made her flutter.

Purple couldn't help but think, was it right or wrong for her to create Gensokyo in the first place?

Obviously to create an ideal town that is not tolerated by the outside world, but now it seems that she has also succeeded.

Beautiful Gensokyo, peaceful Gensokyo, inclusive Gensokyo, Dream Gensokyo.

yes, she succeeded.

But why is she not happy at all now, as if she is still locked in a shackle, the heavy feeling really makes her a little breathless.

And the shrine maidens of Hakurei, what are they carrying the burden on them?

Is it their fate? No, maybe it's my own selfishness.

Selfishly wants Gensokyo to keep it beautiful, but it makes them pay for it with their precious lives and ...... All.

They tolerate everything gently, but they never get happiness.

They had no responsibility, no obligation, but in the end they died because of her selfishness.

There were no complaints, no crying, no evasion, and they finally greeted death with a smile, as if they had been forcibly given a fate when they were born and inherited the name of Hakurei.

Fate, what a great and sad word.

Purple sighed sadly, and the hand holding the umbrella turned pale from excessive force.

She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart.

Lord Ryujin, was it right or wrong that you gave you the power in the first place?

Bori, Di, Blue, Yuyuko...... Was it right or wrong for us to create Gensokyo in the first place?

Why do I now feel that Gensokyo is not my ideal Gensokyo, but a tragedy immersed in sadness?

Also, why am I here in the end?

Why, exactly?

Purple looked up at the sky and finally fell from the sky with a sigh.

Falling like a bird with folded wings, falling, and with a flicker, Purple disappeared into the sky of Gensokyo.
