Chapter 15: Komachi
Shocked by the bad news, the whole country is in pain. Silent prayer and blessing, may there be no more natural disasters and man-made disasters.
――――――――
I have walked a lot along this shore, but I have never seen the end, and perhaps this shore is as boundless as the other shore.
Bai Mingqiu originally wanted to fly above the Santu River, but just as he was about to take off, he faintly felt a suppression in his body, and he understood that flying should be forbidden here, so he dispelled this idea.
According to Huiyin, the god of death who is responsible for the extradition on Gensokyo's side is Onozuka Komachi, and she can usually be seen on this shore, but Bai Mingqiu has not seen another person on this shore until now.
"Miss Onozuka-"
Looking around, the sky and the earth were empty, Bai Mingqiu raised his voice and called for Komachi.
"Miss Onozuka-"
I shouted like this four or five times, but there was still no response.
She probably had official business, so she didn't wait by the Santu River.
Thinking like this, Bai Mingqiu was not in a hurry, and planned to find a place to sit down and read a book for a while.
The suitcase he carried with him contained two of his own readings, which was prepared for this situation.
Through the thick fog, he could faintly see a tree looming in the distance, and decided to use it as a foothold. He quickened his pace, and within a few minutes he was under the tree.
This bald tree is unremarkable except that it grows tall, except that its neck is a little crooked, and its body is pitch black, as if it has been struck by lightning. However, Bai Mingqiu didn't care, all the plants he saw along the way, except for Manzhu Sahua, which is the flower on the other side, were all of this black color, grass too, and trees too, which may be the characteristics of the world that does not belong to the living.
He walked under the tree, took out a rectangular piece of cloth from his suitcase, put it under him, and leaned against the trunk of the tree, took the book out to read.
Bai Mingqiu has this book in his hand that he borrowed from Huiyin, Huiyin, as a mythical beast Bai Ze, has no faith, this public case was collected by her accidentally, and it looks interesting, so it is placed on her bookcase as a collection. Once Bai Mingqiu went to look for a book, and happened to borrow it when he saw it.
Huiyin's earnestness in reading is with Bai Wuyang, so Bai Mingqiu's earnestness in reading naturally goes without saying, and when he sits there, he can not care about how much time has passed.
There were several interesting public cases in the book, and Bai Mingqiu was looking at them interestingly, when he suddenly felt as if something was moving towards this shore, and when he looked up, he found that it was a dark ship.
The boat is the same at both ends, the whole body is pitch black, the shape is narrow and pointed, and the draft is not deep, and it feels like it would be good to be able to seat two or three people in it. There was no one in sight, no oars rowing, but the hull seemed to move slowly towards the shore, and it was impartial, and there was no feeling of drifting with the tide at all.
"Could this be the Grim Reaper's ferryship?" Bai Mingqiu muttered to himself.
The black boat was not fast, and it had not yet reached the shore, and Bai Mingqiu was not in a hurry, so he stood on the riverside and waited for it to come.
After waiting for a long time, the black boat didn't see much movement to the shore, Bai Mingqiu wondered: "This boat is unusual, it wasn't there just now, it suddenly appeared, and it didn't move, what the hell is going on?" ”
He decided to go to the boat to see what was going on, and estimated the distance from this shore to the boat, about five zhang, maybe more, because the fog on the river was too thick, and Bai Mingqiu couldn't accurately judge the distance.
He rose from the ground, stepped on the moon step, and stepped in the air, but the next moment Bai Mingqiu felt a strong pressure pressing on him from the outside in, making him unable to control the moon step steadily.
His expression tightened, he resisted the pressure, and stepped forward for more than two feet, and finally couldn't bear the weight like the tide of the sea, and his body fell from the sky.
A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Mingqiu's mouth, this position was just as he had calculated, he opened his arms, lifted the qi in his body and glided, and slowly fell towards the location of the black boat.
When he was about to touch the surface of the river, Bai Mingqiu found that sure enough, his observation had some deviations, and the actual distance from the black boat to this shore should be more than what he saw. He hurriedly lifted his body and lifted it up a little more under the painful pressure, which ensured the trajectory of the glide.
A moment later, Bai Mingqiu got on the boat safely.
Standing on the black boat, I found that the black ship was much bigger than it looked like from the outside, and the hull was also a little bit bigger, although there was nothing in the boat... Well?
The black boat located on the surface of the Santu River, the fog was particularly thick, almost to the point where he couldn't see his fingers, and he couldn't see through it with Bai Mingqiu's eyesight, but he could vaguely see a touch of red just now.
"Is anyone there?" Bai Mingqiu asked.
There was no sound on board.
Bai Mingqiu walked forward a little, walked a little more, and suddenly touched something under his feet, he looked down and saw that it was a pair of clogs.
The clogs were placed on a pair of feet as smooth as jade, and when you looked up, they were two white calves, and then they were covered by a blue and white skirt robe.
Girls? And I feel like I've seen it before.
Bai Mingqiu thought as he continued to move his gaze upward.
Wow, that's big.
Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency.
Bai Mingqiu hurriedly looked up, and saw the goddess of death Onozuka Komachi with a burgundy double ponytail leaning against the wall of the boat and falling asleep, not feeling that someone was coming around at all.
What a derelict Grim Reaper.
Moreover, she is really quite a beauty.
Komachi's appearance is completely comparable to Kaguya's Horaiya Shoraiya Kaguya, but she is usually covered up by her bold and hearty style and words, and she can't see it very much, but now that she is asleep, that naturally beautiful face is amazingly beautiful.
Since coming to Gensokyo, the only person who can make Bai Mingqiu admire the word beauty is the puppet Alice. Margot Royd and Kaguya Hiraiyama Kaguya are only two, and when he saw the sleeping Onozuka Komachi today, Bai Mingqiu praised the third place.
But now is not the time to think about this, he shook his head, squatted down and patted Komachi, and said, "Miss Onozuka, Miss Onozuka, wake up." ”
"Hmm... Yingji, don't push me... Everyone is working hard... Whew-"
Komachi muttered a vague dream talk and rolled over.
Bai Mingqiu said helplessly: "It's me, Bai Mingqiu, who came to the appointment of Lord Siji." ”
"Whoa—whoa—" Komachi couldn't wake up.
Bai Mingqiu called a few more times, but Komachi was very sleepy, what should I do?
He thought for a moment, took out the wine gourd around his waist, and opened the lid.
The sake in this gourd is the famous sake of Moriya Shrine [Suwa], which Kanako gave to Bai Mingqiu, and the wine has a clear taste, especially fragrant, and it makes people want to taste it when they smell it. Bai Mingqiu remembered that Komachi was quite able to drink at the last banquet, so he simply tried it.
"Huh? … It smells so good. Komachi sniffed in confusion, "Good wine, good wine." ”
She suddenly opened her eyes, and saw Bai Mingqiu looking at her with a smile on his face, she was stunned at first, then blushed slightly, and immediately said, "You-Bai Mingqiu, why are you here?" What about wine? What about wine? ”
"I'm here for an appointment." Bai Mingqiu said with a smile, "The Four Seasons Lord invited, so naturally I want to come as much as possible." But Miss Onozuka, was she too busy with official business last night, and she fell asleep directly on the boat. ”
Komachi raised an eyebrow: "Ahem! Well, that's it. ”
Bai Mingqiu stared at Komachi for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I see." ”
Komachi always felt that Bai Mingqiu's eyes at this time were similar to Shiki's reflections.
"As for the wine, yes." Bai Mingqiu took out the gourd on his waist.
Onozuka Komachi's picturesque face showed longing, but Bai Mingqiu didn't care, he pinned the gourd back to his waist, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Onozuka is awake, how about we go?" ”
"Cut." Komachi pursed his lips, stood up and tidied up his dress a little, "Okay, okay, let's go." ”
Before she left Bai Mingqiu's gourd, she reluctantly took out a long oar from the bottom of the boat.
