celebration
Soon, the day of celebration arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Thanks to the Bunbun Shimbun, almost everyone and youkai in Gensokyo now know about this grand celebration.
This festival will not only be attended by the shrine maiden of Hakurei and the owner of the Sunflower Field, but even the great sage of Gensokyo, Yakumo Murasaki, who has always only heard of his name and not seen him.
This is a big event, especially for those older monsters in Gensokyo, they are not a group of monsters born in the later era of Gensokyo, and they are thunderous to the prestige of Purple.
Yakumo Murasaki, a youkai sage of an unknown race.
It was she who saw the present in advance in the distant past, and overcame all kinds of difficulties at that time to create Gensokyo;
It was she who, when Gensokyo was on the verge of destruction, brazenly provoked a lunar war against the powerful Moon Capital for the future of Gensokyo, and although she lost in the end, she laid a solid foundation for Gensokyo's current peace;
It was she who, under the control of everyone in Gensokyo, willfully founded the Hakurei Great Enchantment, and finally ensured the survival of most of the current Gensokyo.
Unfortunately, as time passed, after Gensokyo calmed down, she gradually withdrew from everyone's sight, and she hasn't heard from her for hundreds of years.
But! Today, this so-called celebration can actually be attended by Lord Yakumo Purple,
Just because of this, even if you are not very optimistic about this celebration, there are still a considerable number of youkai who rushed to the name of Purple.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that the so-called celebration game in the newspaper is actually not believed by all humans and monsters from the bottom of their hearts.
Humans don't believe that anyone will dare to go on stage to compete with those terrifying monsters, not to mention whether they can win or not, even if they win, it is estimated that they will be eaten by the angry monsters at that time.
The monsters are not so extreme.
They just don't believe that timid humans will dare to compete with them when the time comes.
You must know that since Gensokyo's past to the Moon War, because of the cruel actions of many youkai that eventually led to the Moon War, the humans of Gensokyo no longer dare to deal with youkai, for fear of being killed if they are not careful.
On the day of the celebration.
Chen An took Fran and Lumia, a few little guys, and everyone from the Red Devil Pavilion to walk on the street.
Although it is a human village, at this time there are monsters rampant in people, and humanoid and non-humanoid monsters are everywhere.
In contrast, humans have become rarer, except for the shops and stalls on the streets of Renli, and from time to time you can see some residents walking with kappa and tengu towards the center of Renli, and there is hardly a single human to be seen.
They were all scared and hid in their homes
"Wow! Wow wow! It's so lively. β
Fran, a little guy who has been locked up for a long time, is really amazed when he looks at the bustle of people around him with wide eyes.
Not only that, but there are a lot of eyes dangling in front of her, which makes her heart itch.
However, looking at Chen An beside her, Fran still gave up her intention to catch those things, because Chen An said that she was not allowed to catch those things by herself without his permission.
For Chen An's words, Fran still listened very much, because she knew that everything Chen An did was for her good.
"Uh-huh!"
Kirino and Lumia also nodded their heads.
Although they are not like Fran, one has never been to Renli, and the other is that Renli only knows how to steal and eat, and has never been in the mood to look at the environment.
Nolu Ji is also pulling the shadow wolf around, looking here and there, it's a novelty.
As a salty ...... of the Lake of Fog Ahem, mermaid, she's never been to Renli either.
There was also Misty, who was pushing a small push stall and a big fairy Li, and Gelu followed behind Chen An.
The stall was the mobile shop where Misty used to sell eels, and she was able to make a living from it back then.
No, today I heard that there are many people in the people, and as soon as the girl's frugal and careful thinking came up, she ran back to the place where she used to live in the way of night blindness, and brought this stall with her, and it is said that she intends to make a lot of money today, and save her dowry for the future.
Well, although I don't know if she will marry in the future, but since she likes it, let her go.
Luna, Sonny, and Star, too, walked hand in hand and grinning beside Misty.
As goblins, what they love most is to be lively.
Marisa was originally there, but was later caught by Daddy Misty Rain and went home to catch up.
Remy sat on Chen An's neck, holding an umbrella and looking curiously.
Although she has been in Gensokyo for so long, she has never been to the world.
Not to mention the people who are so lively now.
Alice and Saki used to come to the city often in order to purchase various supplies, but they had never seen so many youkai, and at this time, they also looked at the various youkai around them, and they were a little dazzled
MΓ©tixin flew behind Alice and got into trouble with Shanghai and Penglai.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Umbrella are going to Lingnaan.,I haven't been back for a long time.,Take advantage of today to go back and pack up.γ
"It's noisy."
Patchouli held the book and complained about walking beside Chen An with the little devil.
She didn't want to come, but she was persuaded by Chen An to come.
Chen An's words are like this,
'On such an important day, how can you leave Patchy alone in the Red Devil Pavilion?' I can't put my mind at ease. β
So, with such a fluttering word, Patchouli finally followed obediently.
By the way, because of Chen An's proposal, all the fairy maids of the Red Devil Pavilion are on holiday today, so they can also come to join in the fun.
Misuzu, who was walking at the end, walked and walked, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she ran to a small stall in three or two steps and called the stall owner to start the price, as if she had taken a fancy to something.
By the way again, although it was winter, Misuzu was still wearing the usual green cheongsam that showed off her figure, but in order to keep warm, Chen An specially made a pair of pants for her, white loose practice pants, which made her look more heroic.
After walking for a while, Lumia took Chen An to a small barbecue restaurant, and drooled at the steaming kebabs.
Biting her fingers cutely, Lumia looked at Chen An pitifully.
"Big brother, Lumia is hungry and wants something delicious."
"Ah, isn't this Lord Chen An?"
The owner is a middle-aged uncle.
He walked over, carefully looked at Remy on Chen An's neck, Fran beside him, and the obvious non-human eyes of the little devil, and greeted Chen An warmly.
"Come on, since it's Lord Chen An, if you don't dislike it, just sit down and eat something, I'll have a treat."
"No, no."
For the enthusiasm of the middle-aged shopkeeper, Chen An hurriedly shook his hand, you must know that he doesn't have a penny in his pocket, Misuzu, Sakiya They do, but a big man goes out and asks a woman to pay for it. He couldn't afford to lose him.
"How can this work?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper did not give up and was still enthusiastic.
"You must know that the little girl often tells me that Master Chen An takes good care of her in the temple house, and if she doesn't treat you well, she will definitely complain about me if she knows about it."
"That's ......"
Chen An thought about it and felt that the kindness of the middle-aged shopkeeper was indeed difficult to refuse, but he still took out a small piece of gold from his arms and stuffed it to the middle-aged shopkeeper.
He suddenly remembered that there was no money to change.
"In that case, we'll bother, but you'll have to take the money."
Chen An's actions made the middle-aged shopkeeper a little anxious.
"How can this work?"
Chen An smiled.
"Don't worry, I don't lack this money, if you don't accept me, I'll leave."
"That's right, that's right!"
Remy also patted Chen An's head and shouted.
"Miss Ben is not a person who eats white food, if you don't accept us, we will leave!"
"This ......"
The middle-aged shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but looking at Chen An's determined look, he could only sigh.
"I understand, since you said so, Lord Chen An, then I will accept the money."
Shaking his head, he beckoned Chen An and them to sit down, and brought the barbecue.
Lumia's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly reached out and grabbed the barbecue and ate it hard.
Others also ate it with relish.
There is also Qi Lunuo, who also can't wait to throw ice gas at the barbecue. I turned it into a popsicle barbecue and had a lot of fun.
Except for Lumia, everyone stopped after eating two or three sticks, and although the barbecue was delicious, the food in the Red Devil Pavilion has always been a little light, so it was not to your appetite.
But Lumia doesn't care so much, as long as it is food, she has never refused, and she has been eating for a long time, and when the inventory in the store is exhausted, Lumia patted her little belly with satisfaction in the sweaty appearance of the middle-aged shopkeeper.
"Well, that's good. Lumia ate eighty percent full. β
The middle-aged shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly admired Chen An.
It was the first time he had seen such an edible little girl, and Chen An could actually afford her, so she really deserved to be Lord Chen An.
He looked at Lumia in horror and asked.
"I don't know what is the relationship between this little lady and Lord Chen An? Is it your sister? β
"Sort of, important family members."
Chen An smiled and touched Lumia's head affectionately.
However, his words touched a nerve in Lumia.
She puffed out her cheeks and screamed loudly.
"No, Lumia is not the sister of the big brother, Lumia is going to be the bride of the big brother."
"Ugh."
Chen An's movements froze, and he suddenly laughed awkwardly under the strange gaze of the middle-aged shopkeeper.
"Child's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous."
Hearing Lumia's words, Patchouli muttered.
"Perverted Lolicon!"
Fran agreed.
"That's right, that's right, Fran will be Brother An's bride when she grows up."
Chen An: "......"
"Child's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous."
He laughed even more awkwardly.
The middle-aged shopkeeper showed Chen An an ambiguous expression that I understood.
"Understood, understood."
"Understood? Who do you know!? β
scolded in his heart, so in the ambiguous expression of the middle-aged uncle's shopkeeper, Chen An hurriedly pulled Lumia and Fran, and fled with everyone.
After running out for a long distance, Chen An gently knocked on Lumia's little brain and taught him a lesson.
"You little fool, who taught you that kind of thing just now?"
As he spoke, Chen An's suspicious gaze swept over the faces of Patchouli and the little devil.
Misty wouldn't have taught Rumia such a mess no matter how much they thought about it. So I can only think about it on Patchouli.
The little devil and Misuzu shook their hands and said in unison.
"Hey, I didn't say anything."
"Xianggong, I won't teach Lumia this kind of thing."
"Look at what! Do you think I'm as perverted as you are? β
Patchouli's harsh words made Chen An choke.
Remy was also unhappy at this time and knocked on Chen An's head.
"Hey, bastard, that's not what you taught Fran, are you?"
It's really infuriating to say that you want to marry this bastard when you grow up.
"Nonsense."
Chen An scoffed.
"I don't even like you, will I go to Lumia and their ideas?"
He's not a pervert, besides, he just thinks, Misuzu, which one can't be Wenwen? Will you think crookedly about Lumia, a naΓ―ve little guy who isn't even an airport? No kidding!
"Nani!"
Remy was furious, and he didn't care about being on the street, so he put the umbrella on his shoulder, so he pinched Chen An's ears with both hands and shouted.
"What do you mean by that!? Look down on Lord Remy! β
Dare to say that you can't look down on her, Lord Remy, this bastard wants to die!
"How dare you, how dare you?"
Chen An grinned in pain, and hurriedly raised his hand to grab Remy's little hand and pressed it on his ear, not letting her exert herself.
"And say no!"
Remy didn't know what shyness was, and under the strange gazes of the monsters passing by, the two little thin legs clamped Chen An's neck hard, and he didn't let go.
"I dare to say that I don't look down on Lord Remy, it's not that I look down on Lord Remy!"
"You heard it wrong, you heard it wrong."
Chen An said with a bitter face.
"Actually, I was fascinated by Remy's charm from the very beginning of entering the Red Devil Pavilion, really, really !!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
So Remy was furious again,
"Good! You bastard, you have long had bad intentions towards me, say! Did you plan to enter the Red Devil Pavilion in the first place? β
Chen An: "......"
He wants to die!
Finally coaxed the vexatious Remy, Chen An led a group of people to squeeze away from the surrounding group of monsters to watch the excitement and came to the center of the people, that is, the location of the dragon god stone statue.
Under the call of Aqiu, the original building here has long disappeared except for the stone statue of the dragon god, and has been replaced by a wooden stage that has been built, although the time is very short, but with the skillful hands of the kappa and the efforts of the inhabitants of those people, this stage is very exquisitely built.
Even, because of the completion, at this time some kappa are bored carving some beautiful patterns on the stage stand, I have to say, their hands are really skillful, and of course - they are really idle.
In addition to the bored kappa, there are also people walking around, all of them are tengu, kappa, and the residents who have been called by Aqiu.
These residents were all those who were more courageous and receptive to the city specially selected by Aqiu, so after a while, they also got a general understanding of the friendliness of the kappa clan, and at this time they were busy with the final preparations with the kappa and tengu.
In fact, the fact that these residents were able to accept kappa and tengu so quickly was not only because they were friendly and docile, but also because of time.
Yes, although the situation of humanity in Gensokyo was extremely painful in the past history, it was only history after all, a past that was too far away for forgetful humans to remember.
Now although they are wary of youkai, but more often than not, they are afraid of the unknown!
They are not like Ah Qiu, because they know a lot about youkai because they are in the work of compiling the origin of Gensokyo, and for hundreds of years, although they live in the same sky, the same land, and even the same village as the youkai, but because they are closed to the friendship with the youkai, they never refuse to know about the youkai, so they are full of unknowns for the youkai.
Because of the unknown, so fear, because of fear, so far away, human beings are actually such creatures.
But now, although they were all trembling at first, after a while, the time the residents and kappa and the kappa worked together made them realize that youkai are similar to humans.
They laugh unbridled because they are happy, they are frustrated and unhappy because they fail, and even when they are unhappy, they are more restrained than humans and never vent to others...... Well, some of the people who like to talk to other people don't count.
They would enthusiastically help their fellow men at work, and they would run to the tavern in the middle of the house in the evenings to pay for the work of the day, buy back a lot of wine and have a banquet with everyone.
They're friendly, they're warm, they're arrogant, they're ...... It is these flesh-and-blood kappa and tengu that make some of the inhabitants let go of their hearts about the yokai, so that they can relax and talk to the yokai, and even bargain with them for a few copper plates with a red face and thick neck.
By the way, the shops and roadside stalls that are still open in Renli are basically because they were frequented by Tengu and Kappa during this time, and they knew that the yokai were generous and friendly, so they did not close their doors today.
Tsk, should it be said that they want money and don't want to die?
In addition to the busy tengu, kappa, and the residents who helped, Aqiu was also present, discussing something with Nitori and Keiin.
However, as soon as he turned his head and saw Chen An, who had come with a large number of people to join in the fun, his eyes lit up, so he hurriedly took it with He, and Huiyin ran over with a confession.
Before he could even breathe, Ah Qiu couldn't wait to say with a flush of excitement on his face.
"Chen An, you're here."
"yes."
Chen An nodded, looking at the busy kappa, Tengu and the residents smiled.
"Looks like my trick works."
"Yes, yes!"
Ah Qiu nodded excitedly, and his happy mood was self-evident.
"It's quite effective, and the residents I called in to help have accepted these hard-working kappa and the tengu who came to help.
And during this time, they are not only building this stage, but also helping other residents repair their houses when they have time, coupled with the publicity of these residents and the people around them when they go home, now even other residents are slowly accepting them, and from time to time someone will take the initiative to help. β
Well, that's the way it is, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many monsters in people today, Chen An wouldn't be able to see it as an ordinary resident.
"Hello Lord Chen."
"Hello Lord Chen."
After greeting the kappa, tengu, and residents who greeted him one by one, Chen An patted the flushed Aqiu Xue on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry to be happy now, wait until the evening is over to see the reaction, if it really works, you won't be crazy with joy then."
"Uh-huh!"
Ah Qiu nodded excitedly, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and ran back to discuss it with them.
Shrugged his shoulders, Chen An was not dissatisfied with Ah Qiu throwing him down, but looked at Ah Qiu who was there and had a loud discussion with Ah Qiu and smiled.
In the past, in order to ease the atmosphere among people, she and Huiyin were heartbroken.
Now that the hope of success is in sight, it is not surprising that she is excited.
After all, no matter how knowledgeable Ah Qiu is and how sophisticated she is, she can't change that she is actually just a teenage girl! It's hard to be pressed on her by so many things in the past, right?
No wonder so many residents are convinced by Ah Qiu, it's really hard for her.
Sighing slightly, Chen An took Fran and the others to the fog and rain prop shop again.
Father Foggy Rain had instructed him to take Fran and the others to sit there later when he took Marisa away.
"Bastard, why hasn't that guy come yet, slow death."
As soon as she came to the foggy rain prop shop, Chen An saw Marisa, at this time she was pouting high, standing at the door with an unhappy face, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was saying something, and looked around from time to time.
Holding Remy, Chen An walked to Marisa's side, he was a little strange.
"Hey, Marisa, why are you standing alone in the doorway?"
It's weird that Marisa's out-of-the-box temperament actually stood here obediently and didn't run away.
Remy scoffed.
"It's not going to be kicked out, is it?"
Kiruno and Lumia shouted cheerfully.
"Oh, Marisa is a fool, a fool that no one wants!"
"Cut, how is that possible."
Glancing at Remy, Marisa pinched Kiruno and Lumia's ears in a bit of annoyance.
"And you two little devils shut up for me, too!"
"Wow, it hurts, Marisa bullies."
Stopping the little guy's coaxing, Marisa glared at Chen An unhappily and complained in his inexplicable expression.
"It's not this guy yet, the old man said that girls should be virtuous and virtuous after they get married, and they chirped a lot of crooked, so they drove me out and waited for you here."
With that, Marisa began to complain again.
"And what the hell did you do, it's too slow, right?"
Holding Chen An's head, Remy gloated.
"You deserve it, who let you be the wife of this bastard, unlucky, right?"
"Who wants to!"
Marisa's face pulled and she was indignant,
"It's not that my old man is good at making claims, if it were me, I wouldn't have looked at him blind!"
Chen An: "......"
"Long-winded, anyway, now that you're mine from head to toe, it's too late to regret it, let's go."
"The ghost is yours from head to toe!"
Glaring at Marisa, Chen An pulled her into the foggy rain prop shop with her dissatisfied look.
The prop shop was deserted at this time, and there was no one except for the occasional youkai who came in out of curiosity.
Looking at the Misuzu who followed Chen An and them, Daddy Wuyu, who was slapping and settling accounts at the counter, was a little surprised.
Stopping the movement in his hand, Daddy Foggy Rain helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Misuzu and them carefully for a while.
His majestic scrutiny, coupled with his inexplicable emotional gaze, made Misuzu and the little devil a little unnatural.
After examining it for a while, Father Wuyu asked in surprise.
"What, these are all your wives?"
Yo, I didn't expect this kid's charm to be good, and the women around him are all rare beauties.
It seems that Marisa handed him over to him is not bad.
Everyone was blushed by Daddy Wuyu's words.
In addition to being shy, a few people looked a little happy.
The corners of Patchouli's mouth hooked, and somehow, when she heard Daddy Wuyu's words, the depression that came out today suddenly disappeared.
Hee-hee, it looks like Marisa's father is good.
The big fairy and Luna too, blushing because of this sentence, suddenly had a good impression of Daddy Foggy Rain.
Chen An was completely opposite to their reactions, so frightened by Daddy Wuyu's words that he almost fell to the ground.
"Wow, I want to die!"
Chen An's embarrassment made Remy frightened, and hurriedly threw away the umbrella, holding his head tightly and not daring to let go.
Fortunately, this is in the store, although it is bright, but there is no sunlight shining in, otherwise Remy will have to suffer a little.
Chen An wiped the sweat from his forehead,
"No, no, except for Misuzu, the others are family, family."
Since the Red Devil Pavilion is regarded as home, the people in the Red Devil Pavilion are naturally family.
Hearing Chen An's words, Alice seemed to have wrapped herself in, Alice was stunned, but she clenched her little finger and didn't speak.
"Babble!"
"Shanghai said: I like Lord Chen An the most. Me too. β
It's Shanghai, Penglai flew over with a happy face, rubbing his face on him.
Father Wuyu glanced at Chen An suspiciously.
It's normal for few women around this kid to look at him, this kid won't lie to him, right?
But Daddy Wuyu didn't think about it that much, just nodded slightly.
"Forget it, I don't care what your relationship is, just remember to be nice to Marisa."
Hearing Daddy Wuyu's words, Chen An was sweating profusely, how could this feel like he had been misunderstood.
Remy, who almost fell to the ground, was already holding back the fire in her belly, and when she heard the words of Daddy Wuyu, she was even more unhappy.
"You ......"
"Remy."
Just when Remy wanted to scold, he was pulled by Chen An's hand, and when he heard his voice, Remy immediately knew what he meant, and knocked on Chen An's head with dissatisfaction, so he pouted and shut up.
Forget it, since it's Marisa's daddy, and this bastard pleading, I'll let him go this time.
Unlike Remy's generosity, the party Marisa was thundered by the words of Daddy Misty Rain.
Throwing the hat on her head to the ground, Marisa yelled.
"Dead old man, am I really your daughter!?"
This kind of thing can actually be said in front of her daughter, is she really the biological daughter of Daddy Foggy Rain!?
Finally appeased Marisa, Chen An and the others stayed in the fog and rain prop shop, and after lunch, they set off again to the stage of the dragon god stone statue in Renli.
Since the game is held in the afternoon, the stage is not crowded with all kinds of yokai and people in the morning, instead of just the kappa staff in the morning.
Of course, the inhabitants of the people are separated from the yokai, and there is a low wooden wall directly opposite the stage that separates the ordinary residents from the yokai, and there are many tengu standing next to them as guards.
Although the wooden wall was mostly decorative, the vigilant tengus still reassured the ordinary residents a little.
After all, I have been seeing them every day for a period of time, and I am familiar with them.
Of course, because there are too many monsters coming, there are still some unsocial monsters who do not squeeze, but fly high in the sky, and from a distance, the sky is full of small dots.
"Wow, there are so many people! Walk fast, walk fast. β
When she came here again, Misty looked at the bustling crowd gathered there, her face flushed with excitement, and she hurriedly pulled the big goblin and Ligra and ran to find a good position, shouting "eight-eyed eel" and began to do business.
Sonny, Luna, and Sta muttered for a while before leaving the others behind and running away.
Alice, too, was pulled by the excited Marisa and didn't know where she had gone.
Rumia and Fran, as well as Kirno and Noluhime, Shadow Wolf excitedly burrowed into the crowd and disappeared, while Sakiya, Misuzu, and the little devil were shouted at by Remy and ran to the side to watch the acrobatic performance.
Of course, most of them are some youkai who love to appear.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Umbrella have not come back yet, so the large group of people just now are now only Chen An and Pachouli.
The crowd was very crowded, and although Patchouli's body was not as weak as she first met, she was still very delicate, and she was almost separated by someone and Chen An if she didn't pay attention to it before.
After discovering this, Chen An hurriedly grabbed Pacouli's weak and boneless slender white jade hand and did not dare to let go, for fear that she would disappear from his side without paying attention.
Patchouli bit her lip, her eyes flowed, and she grabbed Chen An's hand with her backhand, clenching it tightly, as if it weren't like this, the person in front of her would disappear all at once.
"Don't let go, follow me closely."
With a word in Patchouli's ear, Chen An took her hand and squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the stage in the middle.
Although it can be used to teleport, somehow, Chen An just doesn't want to use this trick, and correspondingly, Pache seems to have forgotten that he can fly.
Silently following behind Chen An, Patchouli looked at the little hand she was holding with Chen An's palm, and Chen An blocking the crowd of people in front of her, and her heart suddenly softened.
"Bastard ......"
I don't know why, although with Chen An's care, Patchouli is still very uncomfortable by the monsters around her, but she hopes in her heart at the moment, hoping to hold Chen An's hand like this and go forever.
Unfortunately, this is not possible, because although it is very crowded, the distance is very close, so it will not be for a while. Chen An had already pulled Patchouli to the front of the crowd.
