The afterglow of the setting sun is so obliquely reflected that the shadows of the pedestrians on the street are dragged for a long time.

Yui Hihama said that he was going to find Hachiman Hikiya, but he never returned, probably because he was pulled by the latter, who knew how to judge the situation very well, and observed words and feelings, so he didn't run back stupidly anymore.

After all, fools should know that the two top castes in the ministry are about to start falling in love and killing each other, what kind of people they can't think about will take the initiative to choose to bump into each other at such a time!

Of course, the rational choice is to avoid it, and Hikiya Hachiman knows very well who is the object of his own group warmth, so he will naturally persuade Yui Yui.

As the time for club activities passed, it was finally time for the end of school, and the students packed up their things and walked out of the school gate one after another. After all, there is neither a boarding system, nor a late self-study system, and the school will not allow students to stay on campus alone at night.

After all, no matter which school this kind of thing is, it will not want to see it, and once something happens, who is responsible? Most schools have to try their best to shirk their normal responsibilities, not to mention this kind of flying disaster.

Special Building, 4th Floor East Side.

The door to the activity room had just closed, and there was a rather dull grinding sound in the door frame.

Xue Nai turned around in the corridor under the snow, looked at Xia Ran who was standing next to him, and said coldly, "See you tomorrow, classmate Xia Ran." ”

On the floor of the corridor, the afterglow shining in from the window, the long black and silky hair hung down behind the girl, shining as if it was burning red in the setting sun.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

Xia Ran nodded lightly, said in a kind manner, and waved his hand to her quite enthusiastically to say goodbye.

“……”

“……”

It's just that it was greeted by a cold gaze, a cold and obvious displeasure, almost a frostbite gaze.

Obviously, he had already said goodbye, but under the snow, he just didn't move his steps, just stood silently and stared at Xia Ran, without saying anything.

It's just that the low air pressure around her is almost like a substance, and it makes people wonder if she can release black magic at any time...... Although she doesn't actually have even a magic circuit, she doesn't really have "magic" yet.

However, it has nothing to do with qualifications, the main thing is that the time is too short, and the mystery of this world has largely faded and become fading. Just like the so-called end of the Dharma era, the practice always becomes more difficult.

In this way, the two of them stared at each other with such big eyes, Xia Ran still maintained a gentle and polite smile, as if he was waiting for the snow to turn around and leave first, to see the girl leave.

The girl, however, apparently did not think so, she did not say anything, did not take a single step, did not leave the middle of the corridor in her usual upright posture, but glared at him with displeasure.

“……”

“……”

"Okay, do you want to come with me to Moriya Shrine to have a look?" After a long while, Xia Ran could only shake his head helplessly, sighed and said, and sent out an invitation with a little amusement.

It's not that he doesn't know what the girl is fighting for, but he just thinks it's funny to tease each other like this.

"Hmph, you lead the way."

Under the snow, Xue Nai seemed to have been waiting for him to say this, and he didn't even have the patience to hide it a little, so he snorted unceremoniously and agreed directly.

"Actually, we don't need to lead the way, it's the address we were to last time, and there is no change. At least the outside Moriya Shrine is still in its original location, and if I hadn't taken over, I'd probably have to move into Gensokyo completely......"

Xia Ran chuckled lightly, disapproving at the girl's arrogance, knowing that the other party was angry. He took the lead in the hallway, then beckoned to the snow behind him to follow.

"At that time, Chiba City will probably be stripped of an area inexplicably, including the shrine, the surrounding land, and the Lake of the Wind God, which will be directly packed and relocated to Gensokyo."

“……”

“……”

"Wouldn't such a drastic change be easy to spot? After all, in such a city, there is such a large piece of land that suddenly disappears, this gap is very obvious, right? ”

Although he was not very happy to follow him, after hearing this statement, Xue Xia couldn't help but wonder.

"Not really, because it's not the kind of thing that doesn't have the technical content to dig up an area in a physical sense...... Well, how to say it? Because Gensokyo's Great Barrier is a boundary line, it is responsible for filtering common sense and extraordinary knowledge. ”

Xia Ran thought about it for a while, and changed it to a statement that should be easier to understand.

"You can see that this world is actually like a lake, which is constantly flowing and changing, and it is not a solid piece of land, and if a large piece of water is dug up, there will be an obvious gap, but it will be immediately filled with the surrounding water body, and on the surface it is impossible to find the difference......"

"What the hell is this?" Under the snow frowned, she had a headache This kind of thing is completely another system, many things are not unreasonable, but have another set of their own internal logic, so it often seems abnormal.

"This is a bit complicated to say, the outside world is our world, that is, the world of common sense, and what is not common sense will flow into Gensokyo, just like the literal meaning, extraordinary knowledge is the opposite of common sense, not the daily consensus of the same thing in today's society......"

Xia Ran thought for a moment and explained after pondering.

"This means that not only mysterious and unscientific things belong to the realm of extraordinary knowledge, but even things that were very common in the past, if they are no longer known, they will naturally no longer belong to the current common sense, and in short, things that have been forgotten are also very knowledge......

"Xuexia-san, you've been to Shouya Shrine before, you should know that there is usually no popularity there at all, and no one comes to worship, so it's been forgotten for a long time, even if it's completely hidden, it won't attract much attention, and the Great Enchantment is exactly the ...... that divides the boundary line based on this."

Things that have been forgotten by history will appear in Gensokyo, and the Great Enchantment has always played a role in filtering and absorbing in this way.

Therefore, things that have disappeared from the outside world will flow into Gensokyo, such as items that are obsolete in the outside world, and even extinct animals, these things can be found again in Gensokyo......

Even the gods and their beliefs are the same, and when people worship science and intelligence more, they naturally lose their faith and are forgotten. Although they often have the ability to choose whether to enter Gensokyo on their own initiative or not, the result will not make any difference-

As long as you completely enter the Great Enchantment, it will be forgotten by the outside world, and the power of the Great Enchantment Realm will also correct the local events involved.

And this kind of mystery didn't happen suddenly, it didn't mean that something disappeared in front of everyone's eyes all at once, but it was more like the process of something being forgotten and lost-

If you can always keep an eye on it and remember where you put it, you won't lose anything.

It's because it's forgotten, it's ignored, it's been a long time since it's been noticed...... In this process, the object will be lost unconsciously, and it will never be found again, which is a natural process.

In the same way, the relocation of Moriya Shrine was supposed to be like this, as if it had been forgotten and disappeared without anyone noticing.

Perhaps in the years that followed, someone of that era suddenly remembered that he had seen such a quiet shrine in Chiba City, but when he looked for it again, he couldn't find any traces, as if it had never existed.

There is no such land......

There is no such shrine......

There is no such lake......

It's as if everything is just an illusion on their part, or just an ethereal dream that belongs only to the past.

— that's all.

In the end, even they themselves are not sure whether their impression is correct, and naturally they will not be able to do it. And when all these people are gone, everything will be buried and covered in the dust and smoke of history.

Xue Xia nodded as if she didn't understand, and then her brows didn't stretch, she still didn't understand the mechanism of this "Shen Yin", but she knew that the Shouya Shrine had been forgotten, and then disappeared, and that kind of tampering with a certain scale of things seemed to be based on this.

In general, the girl really hated this feeling, because the more she felt that she was completely out of place in that world, the sense of urgency in her heart became more and more serious.

……

……

The tram is moving.

The scene outside the window receded rapidly, and then disappeared from view.

Because Xia Ran chose to go back to the shrine in a normal way, he needed to take the train, which had little to do with the high consumption of the real world or the restrictions of the rules, mainly because he liked this feeling.

Everyday should have a daily look.,This kind of slow and leisurely lifestyle makes him feel very comfortable.,He doesn't plan to use spells.,Pursue everything quickly.。

Probably because of the overtime culture, most of the social animals can't get off work at this time, so the carriage is quite empty, and there are only two of them in the whole row of seats on one side, sitting next to him under the snow.

Neither of them spoke much, as if passengers seated next to each other on the tram had spent this time. It's just that everyone who sees the two probably won't think that they are really strangers.

The same style of school uniform is like a couple's outfit, and the appearance of sitting side by side next to each other is also very compatible, even if there is no communication along the way, it will not make people feel stiff and rusty, but inexplicably harmonious, and it seems to be quite tacit.

- It's a very strange feeling, I can't say it specifically, but it just makes people subconsciously feel so.

The setting sun sank into the horizon, leaving only the last line of red hanging from the horizon.
