Oriental Youningtang Vol. 3 To· Stay· Forever

Chapter 5: The Lost Way of the Netherworld

- "You said yesterday? Ah, that youkai is so excited. I didn't even see her clearly...... Then I saw the lamp hanging there. ”

The world under your feet is the existence of memories in that memory.

But, as my intuition foresaw, finally, it was time to face it.

- "What? Of course I accidentally crackled and knocked her away. - It looks like a fox...... Speaking of which, there are still so many ghosts. ”

And then, for what?

- "No matter if you look at the flowers or the ghosts, you're tired of it.,It's always like this.。 You brought it, right? Green and white and pink guys. ”

In such a moment of anxiety and idleness, I realized that the closer things are to the everyday, the more beautiful and meaningful they are.

- "The enchantment? By the way, I patched it up. But I know it's useless......"

So.

"Spirit Rune [Dream Seal]!"

If it's this person, it's not too much power to use.

If it's this person, what kind of power is used...... It's useless.

As a result, nothing was gained.

His own strength is not even beyond the reach of that umbrella.

So.

Such an extraordinary battle is completely meaningless for Hakurei Reimu and for the shrine maidens of Gensokyo.

If this continues, will this close moat last forever?

"Purple-sama."

Seeing that variable, I began to feel restless restlessness in my heart.

After that—

"Oops, oops."

The one he cared about revealed his words.

From behind, there was a voice other than what I intuitively saw.

"Well, that's why it's ...... to get involved too much for the sake of curiosity and get involved in additional disputes for some reason."

It's still like that, giving people a smile that feels like a thousand miles away.

"It's your patent, right?"

I remembered the purpose of this trip.

————————————Sorry————————————

"Baba yes, variables ...... such thing"

"I won't let you get close to Lord Lan!"

Following Yakumo's blue appearance of stopping Reimu before, Orange stopped in front of Youning with an awe-inspiring face.

"There is such a thing as variables, but you can't count on it......" Youning said to herself, and the focus of her eyes did not shift to orange in the slightest.

"Reimu I'm here DA☆ZE~"

The aftermath of the words was overshadowed by shouts coming from behind.

"Huh? Why are you being left behind halfway faster than me? ”

"It's like...... Such. Shrugging his shoulders, Yuning ignored Marisa's airdrop.

Lan, who continued to look at Youning, spoke.

"Orange. You go and deal with that human. ”

"Oh!"

Receiving instructions from his master, who represents his trust, Orange immediately rushes to Marisa in full energy. And around Yakumo Blue, the light and shadow of Shikigami slowly emerge.

"Love Charm [Master· Spark】！ ”

"Heavenly Fu [Heavenly Immortal Singing]!"

The blazing white pillar of light licked through, and a scorched earth appeared on the land of the underworld. Orange, who was at full speed, flashed with ease, and quickly rushed towards Marisa in the intertwined magic cannon rays.

"Comet [Blazing· Star】！ ”

Using the magic cannon and broom, Marisa also quickly distanced herself from Orange.

The battle reached a strange stalemate.

Marisa's cannon was fruitless in fighting mosquitoes, and Orange's wandering dodge was futile. Although the duel between the two is violent, it can be called monotonous in a sense.

On the other side, the scene where Reimu and Purple fight......

How can we describe this in words?

If you say, Yuyuko's barrage is full of gorgeousness, Yume's barrage is full of sharpness, and Marisa's magic cannon is simple violence.

As far as the barrage is concerned, Reimu is just a pure [bullet], and Purple is a pure [curtain].

Of course, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

They all have the same absolute barriers, they all have the same absolute evasion of zero-time movement, and they all have the same absolute protection......

Although any girl in Gensokyo can have something to do with Reimu, the relationship between these two is the most imaginative......

Because, Reimu and Purple, who are just swaying bullets and curtains, are still holding the same, absolutely crushing nirvana.

- "Barrage is a thing that can tell a story." ”

On the other side of the calm waves, Youning, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly spoke as if sighing.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yunei turned his gaze to Yakumo Blue, who had been staring at him.

"You really take care of that kid Orange."

Yakumo's blue eyes froze slightly. I guess it was because I touched something that looked like a reverse scale.

"You, are you qualified to say that about her?"

"Ah, of course I do. Any youkai may have outlived dozens or hundreds of times more than me. Youning glanced up at Reimu, "It's not strange if it's more. But ......"

"Orange, it's okay." Saying this, Yakumo Lan raised his hand slightly.

I don't know when, around Yakumo Blue's body, there are already floating light Shikami!

"Shikigami [Banquet of the Twelve Gods]!"

Facing Lan's long-awaited rune card, Youning took a step forward, and a smile appeared on his face that seemed to be careless and thus wild.

"So...... Do you want to play against me? Are you as Shikigami? ”

- I don't know what Youning did.

Exactly the same, a colorful streamer emerged from the void behind Youning.

As if the mirror image was projected in reality, the result was that the barrage on both sides, like stones and reflections thrown into the water, annihilated each other exactly as they were.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have a story to tell. I'm just, a curious person who wants to listen...... Nothing more. In the gap between the atmosphere calming down again into stagnant water, Yuning looked at Marisa and Orange again. I'm curious...... Curious, looking forward to the end of this path, what is the over-the-top thing......"

I clearly felt the suffocation of Yakumo's blue breath.

"What has been forgotten, but it is [really] forgotten~ Whether it's me...... Well~ It doesn't make sense to say this to you......" Saying slowly, Youning raised his hand, revealing the object between his fingers.

One, I don't know where I found it, Bo Li Ling Rune.

However, Yakumo's attention was no longer able to concentrate. After all, it is impossible that Youning's words are not meant by something. For Shikigami with the concept of "execution", analyzing oneself is probably a great problem.

While Yakumo Lan hesitated, Youning began to act.

- "Oh, is this, psychic power?" It's a surprise, an unexpected surprise......"

Above the sky, Yakumo Purple whispered, who didn't know how much of his mind was on Reimu.

"But it's a little too much."

——The spirit talisman in Youning's hand slowly floated up, and was entangled by indescribable qi and light into the appearance of a jewel, and then, two lives and two lives three.

"Fantasy [——"

Youning made a gesture similar to a seal.

"This! ……”

There was no reaction other than half a sentence. It was an accident that shocked Blue's thinking.

After all, such a scene must be impressive to any youkai who has appeared in Gensokyo.

Because,It's almost exactly the same as the invincible yokai retreat of the shrine maiden of Nabori.。

The barrage like the [Dream Seal] pounced on Yakumo Blue.

Then, disappear. Disappeared without warning.

"Blue~"

Yakumo purple, lazy voice. Lan immediately sobered up.

Without a slow declaration spell card, Yakumo Blue directly scattered an overwhelming purple demon bullet! Then, a spell card appeared in his hand like a magic spell!

"Ahh......h Then I'm ......" Youning straightened up slightly.

“…… Throw in the towel. ”

Simply lie down on the ground.

"???!!!"

- "Really, really, interestingly. ”

Yakumo smiled as if she was in a better mood - no, I guess I couldn't tell how she was feeling.

"Well, I'm going to ...... too"

However, in the gap between Yakumo Purple and Blue, Reimu has no leisure.

Charm card in hand.

Royal Coin Wave!

"Standing in the array! Wake up! Divine Skill [Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array]! ”

The hidden runes in the void lit up one by one!

Rang Ming! The golden pillar of light rose into the sky, trapping Purple in it!

“…… Throw in the towel. Realm or something, I'll take a break and fix it. ”

- Purple, who was sitting diagonally on the edge of the gap, had already held up her parasol at some point, and unfolded her folding fan unhurriedly.

"Oops, hey, this time, I've heard a lot, I [like] what I hear~~"

Is this an admission of defeat, or does it mean that he has achieved his own declaration of victory?

Just like that, he leisurely disappeared from the barrier of Reimu.

On the other side, Lan Ye pulled the orange who looked like he couldn't get enough of it and walked into the gap that opened beside him.

It seems that Orange took the previous one as a frolic......

Youning slowly turned over from the ground and stood up, looking unconcerned.

"Smack."

Marisa jumps off the broom and lands beside Yu-Ning. Reimu also floated over slowly with a look of nothing. However, do you have a hunch and don't care, or are you still immersed in the accident?

"Now, Youning, when did you learn that mess?"

Marisa was seriously curious.

"Well...... ......Ahh Although it is also such a melodious tone, it no longer has the taste of nostalgia.

"I've known some ...... before. The exorcist and, the magician......"

———————————— this is a December update →_→————————————

By the time I rushed back to the shrine, the banquet was already coming to an end.

Usually, just like the previous time.

Whether it's satisfied humans and youkai, the remnants of a messy feast, or the ghosts wandering everywhere......

Wait, the shrine maiden sensed something was wrong.

"Hey, it's going to be a banquet like this in the absence of the host?!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep your dinner safe."

After receiving an answer from the maid in charge, Reimu settled down.

That's because, Reimu does feel like she's settled the incident.

Even if the ghost is still constantly refreshing its presence in the shrine, Reimu's way to solve the problem is nothing other than finding the culprit and beating him up.

"Oh, oops, after the realm is restored, won't the ghosts have to linger in the present world? So, I didn't do it. ”

After the shrine was deserted, a purple voice came from the gap.

"Oh. Is it. ”

Reimu just drank his tea and replied lightly as if he didn't care about it.

What Zi said seems to have some truth.

But is there anything else that can be done?

Did those ghosts wander here in ignorance, or were they disturbed by some kind of factor?

Originally, if you wanted to enter the underworld, there was only one one-way street, the Santu River.

- The underworld, where even the undead who are the rulers are oblivious.

"Demon Dream Demon Dream~ Why don't you go and kill all those ghosts~"

"How is that possible! Yuyuko-sama! Why don't you work a little bit more? ”

“…… Woo, Youmeng, I'm hungry~~"

“……”

Youmeng left the table under the westbound demon in a dejected manner.

Of course, in order to celebrate the shrine maiden's successful resolution of the incident, another banquet, Youmu also has to be prepared to help.

Everyday banquets are held day by day with such a frequency that has become a daily routine.

No one feels anything bad about this.

Because, isn't that what fun is meant to be enjoyed?
