9 The medicine of dreams
It's been a week since the incident at Suzuna-an, but the story of Gensokyo continues.
Today, the focus of the story is on Feili.
"Yo...... Isn't this Alice? Why did you suddenly get here today?"
It is rare to stay at home and read a book, but in the corridor of the Eternal Pavilion, I was extremely surprised to see a familiar figure.
It was a young girl.
The golden hair is meticulously groomed, reminiscent of the blue eyes of a clear and clear sky, deep and long--every part of the girl is very beautiful, and when combined, it is even more beautiful than you can imagine.
Fei Li knows a lot of women with blonde hair, and unlike Marisa's cheerful vitality and Yakumo Murasaki's seductive sexiness, she has a fairytale-like sense of illusion, like the delicate feeling of a crystal craft, but when it gives people the impression of otherworldly beauty, it makes people feel that she is a fragile phantom.
This delicate and delicate appearance can arouse a man's desire.
First, it is the desire to protect.
Second, it is sadism.
However, although the girl's cold eyes are enough to make the playboy who wanders in fat powder retreat, it also increases the dark desire in the man's heart.
Not to take tender care, but to press the girl under her fiercely, so that she sobbed in shame - this is such an emotion.
However, this is also something that can only be thought of in the minds of those men, who do not have the ability to do such a lewd act towards young girls.
Because, she is not only a magician, but also the younger generation of the tyrant of flowers, and his niece of the flying - the seven-colored puppet envoy, Alice? Margot Royd.
Alice...... To be honest, it's a common name, but with that complicated surname, it's just ......
Although sometimes...... No, Marisa is always misremembered by the careless Marisa - the name that made Alice's name on the street extraordinary, Margot Royd, in Marisa's case, the name of some mighty and monstrous robot.
When Kaguya found out about this, she said in front of Alice, "So you're Megatron with a layer of skin!" Such a rude remark, and then a heartless laugh, the expression on Alice's face......
-- Feili still can't forget it.
If you want to talk about deterrence, even the heroes of the mythical era can hardly maintain a calm attitude in the face of that ghostly expression...... It's just that this ruins her beauty. From another point of view, Fei Li comprehended the feeling that people cannot be seen.
"A little bit of something...... Come to your mother, and ...... Were you thinking something bad, uncle?"
It can't be said to be cold, but it's far from the tone of enthusiasm, but Feili will never think that this girl has any bad feelings for herself.
That's how her character is...... Contrary to Marisa, Xingjing doesn't like to move, and she doesn't like to talk much, and sometimes Feili really doesn't know how the two of them became friends.
Even in the face of his acquaintances, Alice always looks indifferent most of the time, Fei Li has long been accustomed to it, if one day the girl in front of him suddenly becomes very enthusiastic about him, then Fei Li must take her to his mother to see a doctor even if he pulls it.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Feili always feels that it will be bad if he tells the truth, and because of this bad premonition in his heart, he told a lie without changing his face.
"Huh? I didn't think about anything."
"Really? …… I'll trust you."
Tilting her head and looking at him for a while, the girl still chose to believe him - that dignified expression was really hard to believe that he was lying.
But he's lying...... That's the good thing about the upright, if it's the kind of monster sage who doesn't tell the truth, even if it's sincere, Alice won't fully believe what she says, but Feili is different.
He has an honest and upright personality, so it is easy to gain the trust of others...... But that doesn't mean he won't lie.
White lies should be forgiven. Just now, he lied for his own safety...... This should be counted as a white lie...... Right?
"So, uncle, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, no."
"Now, then, I'll take my leave. You don't have to send me."
After a short conversation, Alice left the Forever Pavilion. If this is a conversation between strangers, it is also extremely appropriate, and the girl's polite and cold attitude is really not like the reaction that a familiar person should have.
However, the two people who spoke did not think so.
Maybe it's because I'm used to it.
Feili himself was extremely appreciative of Alice's polite behavior, and that expression that always seemed distant was commonplace for him.
But that being said......
"This kid is really ......."
Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Fei Li sighed.
Even if he was used to this attitude, it didn't mean that he didn't want to be closer to the child.
Although he is called "uncle" by Alice, the two are not actually related by blood, and they are called so because of Alice's mother. Fei Li and Alice's mother are old acquaintances, so when they first meet Alice, the girl's mother asks Alice to call him "uncle".
It's a little hard to believe, but the girl at that time was indeed a very easy child to get along with, only about six or seven years old, although not as cheerful as Marisa, but also with the child's unique immaturity and innocence, at that time Feili didn't expect that Alice would become the current look very different from before.
This can only be said to be the eighteenth change of the female college student.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Butterfly Yumemaru?"
"That's right, that's it."
Out of curiosity, he came to his mother and asked his niece what she was here for, and got an unexpected answer.
Take the medicine and take it.
For this answer, Fei Li was a little unbelievable.
It's not that he suspects his mother of lying, it's just that a magician can get sick?
Don't look at Alice's appearance is very delicate, in fact, her physical strength is far beyond ordinary people, and the magic envoy is also a kind of monster, there will be no minor diseases, if there is a disease, it is by no means a disease that can be cured by taking medicine. What's more, when he met Alice just now, he didn't see anything wrong with her body.
"That's not a cure."
Seeing Fei's doubts, Bayi Yonglin, who was sitting in the chair, shrugged his shoulders.
"The medicine...... It is a sleeping pill used to calm the spirit, let people get a good night's sleep, and have a good dream."
"Sleeping pills?"
"That's right. You see...... Yokai don't get sick as easily as humans, and even if they are injured, they can recover quickly due to their own strength, and they don't particularly need medicine to heal their bodies. Therefore, when the body is healthy, mental hygiene is very important."
Regarding his son's rhetorical question, Bayi Yonglin took the trouble to explain.
"Whether it's a youkai or a human, there are people who are haunted by nightmares or nervous, so I've developed a medicine that can make people indulge in sweet dreams and soothe their spirits, and that's the Butterfly Dream Pill -- that being said, this medicine was actually what your niece asked me to do in the first place...... What's wrong with you?"
As the explanation gradually deepened, Feili's face also became strange -- in general, it changed in a bad direction.
This was discovered by Bayi Yonglin.
"No, it's not ......."
As if he wanted to get bad thoughts out of his mind, Feili shook his head and then said.
"By the way, can you give me a copy of this?"
"Do you want to have a sweet dream, too? Well, this medicine has no side effects anyway, so just take it if you want."
As he spoke, Yayi Yonglin got up from his chair and took out a glass bottle that was placed in the cabinet with a note of [Butterfly Dream Pill] on it.
"Here you go."
The medicine was placed in Fei Li's hand, and it was an inconspicuous-looking black pill.
"Also, this is an immediate effect, it will take effect after two seconds of eating, at this time, you have to obey sleepiness and sleep honestly to make the medicine work."
"Okay."
After remembering the instructions word for word, Fei Li came to his room and closed the door, wanting to try the effect of this medicine.
He took the medicine.
It is worthy of being the work of the head of the moon, and it is indeed extraordinary...... He was already sleepy.
What kind of dream is it?
Obeying the instinct of physiology, he soon became confused and flew violently, and sank into the dream world with such expectations.
It's a pity that his wish is doomed to come to naught.
If you want to say why...... It was because of a slight negligence by the Great Sage of Yuedu, the medicine she gave to Feili was not the real [Butterfly Dream Pill].
The note on the medicine bottle, and two words were perfectly rushed to the medicine cabinet, without being noticed by Bayi Yonglin.
Her flying power is [Butterfly Dream Pill Nightmare]
In this way, Feili had to have a nightmare.
-- However, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a nightmare as it is a memory.
