Rewind time.

Bai Mingqiu returned to the world from hell.

According to the habit, he was going to go to the temple house to report to Huiyin and Meihong, and then go home.

On the way, he had already figured out that no matter what happened later, what he had to do at this time was to confess to Meihong and Huiyin.

And then...

And then what, he didn't think about it.

Bai Mingqiu had already seen the lights of the temple house not far away.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little nervous and didn't know how to speak.

He walked into the courtyard with a hard head.

The lights were flickering, and Bai Mingqiu saw two figures in the room, which were Huiyin and Meihong.

He knocked on the door, then pushed it open.

"Huiyin, sister Hong, I'm back."

I thought about it for a long time, but it ended up with this sentence.

Huiyin and Mei Hong were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, as if they were still talking about something, when they heard Bai Mingqiu's voice, the two looked at him.

"Mingqiu is back."

Huiyin got up, and as usual, untied the gray feather from his body, hung it on the pole in front of the door, and sat down facing him.

Mei Hong asked, "Mingqiu, how is the trip to hell?" ”

Huiyin poured tea for Bai Mingqiu, and also asked, "What did Lord Four Seasons say to you?" ”

Bai Mingqiu took a sip, his expression was slightly restrained, and he didn't speak.

He struggled, thoughts rolling in his mind.

Huiyin and Meihong looked at him, and they didn't say anything unusually.

After a long time, Bai Mingqiu spoke: "I... I want to tell you something. ”

Bai Mingqiu's lips trembled a little, he felt that it was so difficult to speak for the first time.

His mournful gaze met Huiyin's gentle gaze.

Mei Hong stretched out her hand and held one of Bai Mingqiu's hands.

"Whatever it is, Mingqiu, we're with you." Mei Hong's voice was categorical.

"Okay, I'll be with you from now on." There was incomparable determination in Huiyin's gentle voice.

"So, please tell us."

Huiyin and Meihong spoke in unison.

Bai Mingqiu opened his mouth a little suffocated, inhaled with difficulty, and pulled his lower lip in fiercely. Meat. When I rubbed it on my hard teeth, it hurt like a heart-rending pain.

"I... Maybe it's fate... Remember the reincarnation you mentioned? In fact, every life... I didn't live to the end, I searched for a way, but, in every life, I can only... Only live to be twenty-five years old. This life, the seventh life, is probably nothing more than that. ”

Bai Mingqiu lowered his head, and his scattered bangs covered his usual gentle and clear eyes.

"I'm twenty-one years old."

The candle flame flickered, and the shadows were messy.

Fujiwara Meihong and Kamishirasawa Huiyin trembled in the face of the man they knew and cared about the most.

"Because of my selfishness, I have not told you about it, and I want to keep it a secret until the day I die. I... I'm sorry. ”

Bai Mingqiu couldn't say anything anymore.

On the one hand, there is the sadness and pain in the future, and on the other hand, the sadness of the present, on both sides, he doesn't want to see it, but in fact, he is just deceiving himself.

deceived himself, and also deceived Huiyin and Meihong, who have always treated each other with sincerity.

No matter how much preparation you make in your heart, no matter how much you figure it out, you can't say anything in the face of these two people who have promised your life...

I'm a... What a liar.

Well?

Why... The heat in the palm of your hand is still there?

Bai Mingqiu raised his head slightly, and in the blurred vision, he saw that his two plain hands were still holding his hands tightly and did not let go.

"Ming Qiu." It's Fujiwara Meihong's voice.

She is a straightforward and simple woman, although she is not so gentle and considerate, but she treats people with sincerity and straightforwardness, like a clear flowing spring, which can wash people's hearts. Being recognized by her as a friend and promising to stay together for the rest of her life was the first and happiest thing Bai Mingqiu encountered in the seventh life.

"I'm not very good at talking, so I'll ask Huiyin to talk to you, and Huiyin's words are my words."

Bai Mingqiu felt the heat coming from Mei Hong on his left hand, which was the phoenix blood candle flame that was connected to her and him.

"Ming Qiu." It was the voice of Kamishirasawa Huiyin.

She is a gentle and kind woman, after losing her previous life, she grew up strongly, and finally grew into Bai Ze, a divine beast who is now in charge of herself, for him, she is like her own daughter, and she has always been considerate of him and helped him. Being able to recognize her was another of the happiest things that Bai Mingqiu had encountered in his seventh life.

"Recently I had a conversation with the owner of the Red Devil Pavilion, Remilia. Scarlet met several times, and happened to learn of her miraculous ability to manipulate fate, so I asked her a few things. ”

"There have been many times before, maybe you don't know it Mingqiu, but whether it's words or expressions, Meihong and I can always see some clues. At first, I didn't think about it, but after spending a long time with you, I slowly felt strange, and after I communicated with my sister Hong, I began to feel abnormal. Recently, I always have a feeling that you are getting more and more ethereal in the next autumn... Maybe it's my gut feeling, I panicked. ”

Huiyin's voice trembled.

"When I learned about Remilia's abilities, I asked her, and she told me that she could now only influence the fate of others through herself and could not manipulate them, but she could see the trajectories of others. I asked her to take a look at your fate in Mingqiu. ”

She paused and took a deep breath.

"Remilia said, "Your fate is flickering and foggy, and it is difficult to see clearly, but there is one thing, that this line of life has been broken on and off for twenty-five years, six times, and the seventh is about to come. Thinking of the reincarnation of the seventh life you mentioned, Mei Hong and I roughly guessed what the facts you have been hiding from us in Mingqiu are. ”

"I'm confused, I'm sad, I can't figure out why you didn't tell us, I want to ask, but I don't know how. When I was extremely distressed, Mei Hong told me that he was Mingqiu, and the reason why he didn't say it was actually what you wanted. And since it's tomorrow and autumn, we will definitely figure it out, we just have to wait, just wait. But, but ah! I saw that my sister was sitting on the eaves all night watching the moon, and when she was sad, she would always stare at the moon! ”

Huiyin has already brought a hint of sobbing.

Bai Mingqiu didn't dare to look up at Huiyin, he was afraid that his tearful eyes would meet those same gentle eyes. He didn't dare to look up at Mei Hong, he was afraid of seeing the sad flame in her eyes that burned with fire from time to time.

He just kept his head down and was silent for a long time.

A light suddenly burst in the candle flame, making a crackling sound like a firework.

"Whew-the whining is over, it's much more comfortable." Huiyin's voice suddenly became playful.

“… Huh? ”

"That is to say, I've finished complaining, and I'm even with my sister." Huiyin said softly, "So Mingqiu, raise your head." ”

"I, no, we, my sister and I, but we are very strong, the kind beyond Mingqiu's imagination, a thousand years of strength. Absolutely, absolutely, it's not going to be so easy to give up. We think more about hope than pain. As long as there is a little hope to save you, no matter how painful or sad it is, we can cross it. ”

Huiyin's firm words were loud and clear.

"Three people, together." Mei Hong's words are still concise and to the point.

"Well, together." Huiyin continued.

“…”

Bai Mingqiu bit his lip, raised his head, let go of the tears that could not be stopped at all, looked at the two faces that would definitely be seared in his heart no matter how many lives he had, and then laughed out loud a little.

"Okay, together."

―――――――――――――――――――――

"Okay, okay, don't show affection in front of me with a expression, okay?"

Kanako looked at Bai Mingqiu with disgust.

“… Ahh Bai Mingqiu snorted, "I was in a daze unconsciously." ”

"Cut, it's always this attitude when you talk to the gods, Mingqiu, you really don't respect the gods." Kanako pursed her lips, "Am I too undignified?" Well... It seems necessary to strengthen the majesty of this seat. ”

Bai Mingqiu had already stuffed a small tomato into his mouth.

"Hey, Kanako, try this, it tastes great." He had a tomato in his mouth and Ulu-Ulu was talking about something.

Kanako shouted, "I don't understand! Swallow what's in your mouth! ”

Bai Mingqiu laughed heartily.

Kanako still stuffed a small tomato into her mouth.

She muttered as she chewed: "So you broke through your mood and went to the next level, which is really gratifying." Tsk, it's getting less and less like a human. Let me tell you, be careful about the boundaries between people and inhumans, or you will cross them, or you will never cross the line, and it will be too dangerous for you to play the side ball that will not be able to enter. ”

"Okay, it's a big deal that it's a death in four years, why do you care so much." Bai Mingqiu said with a smile.

Kanako shook her head and said, "That's not good!" What is the death, what should I do if you die in my family? What about Suwako's faith? I, Kanako Yasaka, promise that I will find a way to help you! ”

Kanako has a great need for Bai Mingqiu's belief, plus she liked Bai Mingqiu's personality before, and he happened to come to Gensokyo, and the two had a lot of friendship unconsciously. And after exchanging secrets with Bai Mingqiu, Kanako even introduced Bai Mingqiu as a close friend. In addition, she vaguely wanted to match Sanae and Bai Mingqiu...

"Hey, Kanako, you don't repair for the old, why do you always talk to me early, no, I have to make it clear to you today, you are called feudal arrangement, and now it is already the era of free love, as a god who keeps pace with the times, how can your thinking be so old? And Sanae is still young—"

"Don't talk nonsense with you, anyway, you can see my Sanae's thoughts, and you can do it yourself. But if you dare to make her sad, you have good fruit to eat. Interrupting Bai Mingqiu, Kanako said something terrible with a straight face.

“…”

Bai Mingqiu rolled his eyes and continued to eat watermelon.

The fruit plate brought by Sanmiao was full of weight, and Bai Mingqiu ate it a little.

He rested, fell headlong on the corridor on the side of the edge, and let go of his five senses to feel all things in heaven and earth freely, feeling very comfortable.

Since that night, his state of mind has completely broken through, and the whole person has reached a higher level, reaching an unprecedented level of transparency, which has never been seen in his seventh reincarnation, and his previous flawed state of mind has been completely repaired, so the changes in spirit and spirit can be seen by others.

"Huh? Why is it so noisy? Bai Mingqiu was lying comfortably, but he heard a noisy sound.

He carefully discerned and found that the noise did not come from the surroundings, but from a distance away, according to the limit of Bai Mingqiu's five senses, it should be at the back of the Nine Heavens Waterfall.

"Kanako, do you know what's going on?"

Kanako smiled, "I guess the kappa has already started to move." ”

Seeing her smile unfathomable, Bai Mingqiu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”

"As a modern person, Mingqiu, let me ask you, what is the most important thing in modern society?"

“… Modern society? ”

"Yes."

Bai Mingqiu thought for a moment and hesitated: "Electricity? ”

"Yes, but not entirely." Kanako smiled, "The correct solution is [energy]. Modern society is built on the basis of the Industrial Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution is driven by the transformation of energy, and the most important thing for modern society is naturally energy. ”

She didn't know where to get an electric fan, Bai Mingqiu said strangely: "Fan? Kanako, how many electrical appliances did you bring in? ”

"Quite a few, anyway. Don't worry about it, most devices in modern society require electricity to start, so although generating electricity was not my ultimate goal, I contacted Kappa and negotiated with Tengu. I provided the core technology, and they provided both technology and construction, and Moriya worked with Kappa to prepare for the construction of Gensokyo's first hydroelectric power station. If it can be built successfully and the various races of Gensokyo can experience convenience, the faith of Moriya Shrine will surely rise! This is the [Blue Ocean Strategy] of Honza Oyasaka Kanako! ”

Kanako's face was ambitious, and her words were full of confidence and domineering, and even Bai Mingqiu couldn't help but be taken by this kind of soaring momentum.

"You just said that this is not your ultimate goal? That's—"

Bai Mingqiu reacted that the power generation of the Nine Heavens Waterfall could not satisfy Kanako's appetite, and he couldn't imagine what Kanako's ultimate goal was.

"Hmph." Kanako raised her eyebrows, "Come here with your ears." ”

Bai Mingqiu stretched out his ears as he said, and then his eyes widened little by little, unable to imagine that Bai Mingqiu, who looked like the sky was falling and the wind was light, would have such a surprised expression.

"Are you serious?"

"A must."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm a god!"

Bai Mingqiu repeatedly confirmed Kanako's thoughts, and Kanako didn't tire of answering again and again.

He finally stopped asking, and only sighed in his heart that Kanako was a terrible plan. If this is done, Gensokyo's pattern will definitely be completely renewed.

"One more thing." Kanako said in a deep voice.

"You say." Bai Mingqiu already planned not to be surprised no matter what Kanako said.

"If this matter is completed, maybe your problem will be alleviated next autumn."

"Huh?" His expression was solemn, "You tell me carefully." ”

Kanako and Bai Mingqiu whispered for a long time.
