"Oh! Do you feel warmer? Reimu?"

Marisa, who was riding leisurely on a broomstick, asked the girl next to her in surprise.

At the moment, she was flying in the sky far from the ground, and the sight was full of spectacular sea of clouds. You can imagine how far away the girl's position is from the ground at this moment.

If you accidentally plant it, let alone leave the whole corpse, you won't even have a human appearance if you fall. However, for Marisa, who has become accustomed to soaring in the sky, there is no need to be careful at all.

"It's okay...... If it's a lot warmer than on the ground."

Reimu answered Marisa's question in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

She's flying through the skies with a trainee magician, but not unlike Marisa on a broomstick. Reimu's body had no support at all, and she just moved freely through the clouds. It looks like a different species from humans.

That's a temperament that Marisa doesn't have at all. Even though the blonde girl flies at the same height, she still has a human touch, which can be associated with being a creature belonging to the earth.

But Reimu is different, her overly dignified and quiet face, as well as her casual expression when flying, can't help but make people have some suspicions...... Doubts about whether she was born knowing how to fly. Otherwise, why would she be so commensurate with the sky? Will you be so skilled at flying?

Strictly speaking, this suspicion is not unfounded. For Reimu, flying is an innate ability. Even if she is not in Gensokyo, she can easily break free from the shackles of gravity and run towards the distant sky.

Ordinary people always look up at the sky, because human flesh cannot leave the ground, so they also have a kind of reverie about the other side that cannot be reached there. But for Reimu, the so-called sky is far from such an attractive place.

The endless sky, the dazzling deep blue, have an infinite distance that can almost suck away even the soul of a person. Compared to the disturbing emptiness, the reality of stepping on the earth is more reassuring. Because she never feels lost.

So the pure white cloud sea in front of me, which also covers the horizon, really didn't make Reimu feel any emotion.

However, she does agree with Marisa's words.

It's a ridiculous feeling, but it's warmer than the ground, or the 10,000-foot altitude away from the earth. Was it because they had left the cold ground, or was it because of ...... Is the wind that blows on their skin now the breath of spring?

"So, we shouldn't be on the wrong path at the moment, right? Reimu."

"That's right. And even if it's wrong...... You don't know."

As she spoke, Reimu glanced at Marisa sarcastically.

"Yes, yes, I wouldn't have been able to tell the path without the great shrine maiden."

Marisa didn't seem angry at first, but her unwavering tone gave a glimpse of how she really felt.

Noticing Marisa's false compliment, Reimu couldn't help but smile. This time, there was no sarcasm in her expression, just a pure knowing smile...... It's like seeing a child who is making trouble.

Although Marisa can't be described as a child anymore, there are many times when the girl's willful appearance makes Reimu shake her head and smile bitterly. It should be said that many things would not have happened if it weren't for her fierce personality, but Reimu would never give any praise for her bomb-like personality.

"Seriously, though...... We're not on the wrong track, are we?"

"Of course."

"Are you really confident......

"Because I'm not walking on instinct like you do. I'm looking for the breath of spring."

The words that flowed from Reimu's mouth were indeed not so beautiful, but unlike before, her tone was very calm, and it was obvious that she was simply recounting a fact. And it's a fact that Marisa can't refute. So the girl didn't say anything for tat this time, but nodded silently.

Compared to Hakurei Reimu, she didn't understand Feili's clue hints from the beginning. So in this regard, it must be Reimu who has more say in this regard, but what makes Marisa a little unclear is that she is the one who has known Ah Fei for a longer time, why is it that Reimu and Ah Fei have a more tacit understanding between the words?

Marisa struggled for a while, and could only blame the reason on Reimu's familiarity with the way she likes to play tricks, after all, when it comes to this, Yakumo Murasaki is also a better player than Feili.

However, this is not a particular concern. The kind of guy who can't speak well, even if he understands them, has nothing to be proud of. At least that's what Marisa thought in her heart. Soon, her attention shifted to more realistic issues.

"The breath of spring? Sounds like a poetic statement......

The blonde girl who frowned and hesitated to say her evaluation didn't look like she really thought this sentence was very poetic.

In fact, Marisa felt that this sentence was a perfect one. Not at all like what the Hakurei Reimu she knew would say. However, this idea is really just a delusion on her part, because this sentence is not intended to be descriptive, but a thoroughly declarative sentence. And...... Marisa seems to have forgotten that she doesn't think she has a position of being the second among others.

"I don't know if it's really poetic, but ......."

Reimu hears the disobedience in Marisa's words. However, she herself did not have any idea of rebuttal. She just looked ahead, a soft smile on her lips.

"At least we've reached our destination, and nothing can change the truth."

"That's—"

As Reimu looked at her, Marisa's beautiful face showed a look of astonishment.

No matter who you are, you will inevitably show a certain degree of surprise when you see the scene in front of you. Because the gate that stands above the sea of clouds and floats in the void has a solemnity that ordinary people can't imagine.

"That's it...... Separate the Great Barrier of the Netherworld."

Staring at the huge door, which was almost ten meters high, Reimu's upright and delicate face showed a smile of relief and happiness for the first time.

Although the smile was indeed beautiful, Marisa really didn't understand what Reimu was smiling at.

Actually, the answer is simple...... She was simply excited about the end of her journey. For Reimu, it was already a joy to see the end of this not so long journey.

"Uh, what are you laughing at? Reimu?"

"Forget about those little things, come, let's go, Marisa!"

Maybe it's because the sudden excitement of Reimu makes Marisa feel a chill.,Maybe it's because at this moment Marisa suddenly remembers what common sense is.,All in all,There's a proposal about Reimu.,At first,The girl refused.。

"Hey! You give me wait! With this unusual door in the way, how are we going to get there?"

Her question was very practical, but it wasn't a problem at all for Reimu at the moment.

"Haha, that's not like you'd ask! Isn't what you do on a daily basis the most useful at this time?"

"Huh? Ahh

Reimu laughed and said that Marisa was stunned, but the clever girl quickly reacted. However, even if she wanted to stop the shrine maiden's move now, it would be too late.

"This kind of thing...... Of course, it was a forced breakthrough!"

Before the words fell, Reimu threw out a series of talismans, which was the true meaning of her so-called "forcible breakthrough". Each spell contains great spiritual power, and the power of the multiple runes combined is even better than Marisa's extreme fireworks.

But Marisa didn't show any envy for Reimu's strength at this time, which was far greater than her own. She just watched in amazement as the talisman turned into a sparkle of meteors and flew towards the door where the Netherworld Barrier manifested.

…… The outcome is clear.

P.S: The exam is finally over, and I'm sorry to overestimate my abilities.
