(1) Reimu's jar

Next Chapter

The Hakurei Shrine is still very deserted today, originally with the idle character of the Hakurei witch, she would definitely sit at the door of the shrine in a daze and drink tea, but today she was very surprised not to do so.

She was now lying on the floor of the shrine very indecently, her chin in her hands, staring at a small glass jar in front of her, which contained a walnut-sized jade jade, and the little guy was now lazily circling around the wall of the jar.

The girl stared at the Mao Yu in the jar, and suddenly showed a warm smile on her face, she stretched out her index finger and gently pressed it against the outer wall of the jar, and the Mao Yu in the jar immediately swayed like a mature puppy, rubbing against this finger through a layer of glass.

"Not hiding now? Your precious little jar? ”

A strange gap suddenly cracked behind Reimu, and a graceful and noble woman in purple slowly stepped out of it, looking at the girl teasing Mao Yu in front of her with great interest.

"I remember that as soon as I sensed that I was going to appear, you would quickly hide this little guy."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Purple ......"

The other party's tone was not like Xingshi asking for sin, and Reimu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"I was just responsible for it before. Who made my Hakurei shrine maiden? ”

Guarding the Great Enchantment, maintaining the balance of the entire Gensokyo, and severely punishing any behavior that disrupts the normal operation of Gensokyo, the most special human in Gensokyo...... Hirori shrine maiden.

Bo Li is a surname that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is also passed down from generation to generation with the power of the top big monsters and even the demon saints.

In the age of ignorance, people with this level of power would be given titles such as 'living gods', 'saints', 'ancient saints', and 'prophets', and they would build ancestral halls and write books to pass on the deeds of these people.

But the Shrine Maiden is a little different, their existence is more like a seal, a kind of enchantment, a wall that separates monsters, magic, gods and other wonderful things from reality, inheriting the surname of Hirori and abandoning their future, incarnating as a human pillar for the entire Gensokyo, the Shrine Maiden is a sacrifice to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality.

In order to protect Gensokyo, the Witch of Hakurei must be fair and consistent, and she must suppress her emotions, and she must not be kind to anyone, nor can she be harsh.

For the sake of Gensokyo's normal operation, even if his best friend will die because of it, he can't do anything.

For the sake of Gensokyo's normal operation, there will be no hesitation even if he throws away his life.

For the sake of Gensokyo's normal operation, even innocent humans can't be stopped from being eaten by youkai in front of her eyes.

For the sake of Gensokyo's normal operation, even innocent youkai being brutally retaliated by angry humans cannot be reconciled.

"Because I'm a Hakurei shrine maiden."

Reimu smiled indifferently, she sat up, held the small glass jar containing Mao Yu in her palm and rubbed it gently, watching the Mao Yu inside roll around excitedly because of the master's touch.

"But it doesn't matter right away! Na~ Purple! You think this kid is cute, isn't he? ”

Like a child offering treasures to her parents, she held the glass jar in front of the monster sage.

Mao Yu in the jar stared stupidly at the blonde woman in a purple dress in front of her, and then rolled on the spot.

"Oops~ It's really a cute little guy...... I'm almost hooked. ”

The youkai sage covered the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth with a lady's fan, and replied in an insincere tone.

"Reimu, I've always been curious about when you started raising Mao Yu?"

"Well~ Actually, I started raising it not long after I took over."

As a Hirori shrine maiden, such a hobby is absolutely not allowed, but the girl doesn't care to share this little secret that she has been hiding with the Overseer.

"At that time, I wasn't even a broom high! I was cleaning the shrine that day......"

About ten years ago, the Hakurei Shrine was covered in fallen leaves, and a little girl who laboriously swept away the fallen leaves in the empty shrine with a broom taller than herself, and this child had just completed the inheritance of the Hakurei shrine maiden and became the guardian of the Great Enchantment of this generation.

Because of the peculiarity of this identity, Gensokyo residents rarely come here.

The youkai were afraid of the power of the shrine maiden, which was like a natural predator, so they didn't dare to come.

And humans are equally afraid of the witch's power that is more monsters than monsters, and the attitude of being like ice is also estranged.

In Gensokyo~ Even Mao Yu and goblins know that it's okay not to approach Boli Shrine.

The autumn cold wind blew unscrupulously, and the thin witch costume was not enough to withstand such a cold, Xiao Lingmeng couldn't help but shiver and then looked around blankly, she heard a strange sound.

Knock knock knock ~ knock ~ knock knock ~ knock knock ~

It's a very slight crashing sound, and if you don't feel confident in listening to it, it's easy to ignore it from the rustle of leaves all over the ground.

“……”

The little girl held the broom tightly in one hand, and took out three sigils with the other, carefully searching for the source of the sound.

It's not that she's overly careful, but she doesn't think anyone will patronize Hakuri Shrine at this time, even if it's the old witch who is also a teacher and a mother or a white-haired half-demon with a child who won't come at this time, she doesn't remember any acquaintances in Gensokyo, so at this time there will be people or monsters who are likely to be ill-intentioned.

Ambition will drive youkai and humans to do some crazy things, and they'll find it a certainty.

The current generation of Hakurei Shrine Maiden has not grown up yet, she is just a weak five-year-old girl, so can she take this opportunity to seize the power that belongs to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden? If you get the power of the Hakurei shrine maiden, you can run rampant in Gensokyo!

There are quite a few people who come to attack Reimu with such thoughts.

After some searching, Reimu finally discovered the source of the sound, she looked at a Mao Yu who was trapped in a jar and flustered everywhere, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

As the most important point of connection between Gensokyo and the outside world and the official entrance, there will occasionally be some items from the outside world flowing in in the Hakurei Shrine, and the white-haired half-demon uncle will exchange these inflows from her with some daily necessities and food, which is the main way for the little girl to maintain her daily life now, and she can only make do with it this way until she can get paid for solving the mutation.

Xiao Lingmeng threw the broom and the talisman seal, and picked up the small jar from the ground, and Mao Yu in the jar felt the movement of the jar, so he became even more panicked and hit harder.

In fact, if this Mao Yu was smart enough, then it would fly out of the mouth of the open jar, but Mao Yu's head was completely unable to understand that there was such a strange obstacle as 'glass' in the world, a transparent wall that was obviously unhindered but could never be reached, and this little guy who had just been born for a short time did not realize that he had been put up.

Obviously close to the world around you, the world of freedom is clear at a glance, but you are trapped in a small space and can't get out, this is the so-called transparency, and it will be terrible to understand.

"Poof......

Looking at the little Maoyu who was packed in a jar like a fool, Reimu couldn't help but laugh, this was the first time she had shown a smile since taking over as the Hakurei witch, and then she seemed to realize her stupidity, so she stopped in a flash.

She didn't take the glass jar to Xianglin Hall to replace it, and carefully hid it in her bedroom.

She is a Hakurei shrine maiden, and she can't reveal the softest part of her heart, so she must hide.

A transparent glass jar without a lid, a stupid young Mao Yu who never knew that the top of his head was an exit, and the soft little secrets of an ordinary girl were hidden in a one-foot-square world, and one was hidden for ten years.

Reimu...... Ordinary Mao Yu can't live for ten years. ”

After listening to the shrine maiden's story, Yakumo Purple was a little puzzled.

"yes...... This child is already the tenth. Generally, the limit life span of Mao Yu is about a year, so every year I will watch this child run out of life and then dissipate. ”

Speaking of which, Reimu's expression looked a little lost, but he quickly recovered.

"However, every spring, there is always a new Mao Yu flying in and burrowing into this jar! Amazing, right? I never understood what was going on, and I felt that Mao Yu also knew how to be reincarnated, and that child would accompany me for the rest of my life! It's silly......"

After saying that, the girl sighed.

"What stupid am I talking about...... Mao Yu is always just Mao Yu, a small monster who doesn't even have a sense of self. Ten times or something, but it's just a continuous coincidence, right? ”

"Don't say that......"

Yakumo, who was listening from the sidelines, suddenly took a step forward and gently pressed her hand on Reimu's head.

"This is Gensokyo, and anything kind of wonderful thing can happen, so it must not be a coincidence."

"Huh? Maybe. ”

In the face of the other party's sudden comfort, Reimu felt very unaccustomed.

"Na~Purple ...... Will Gensokyo really be destroyed? ”

After the two were silent for a short while, Reimu suddenly asked uneasily.

"It's a pity...... This mutation is more serious than any previous mutation, and the demise of Gensokyo is within reach. ”

Purple didn't hide much from the girl, and she could be aware of the imminent demise of Gensokyo.

"I've been lobbying Gensokkyo people lately to come together to fight this mutation, but the guys who have become lazy have just taken my words as a reference, or even directly dismissed them as alarmists. I really can't help it......"

"Purple ...... What will happen to you if Gensokyo is destroyed? ”

Reimu knew that the person in front of her loved this Gensokyo more than anyone else, so when she stated in an indifferent tone that 'Gensokyo was about to die', the girl felt a strong uneasiness in her heart.

"Who knows, it's not bad to die together. But the demise of Gensokyo might be a good thing for Reimu, right? ”

"Don't you think that you, who are comfortable with the entire Gensokyo, and the Hakurei witches of the past generations, are very similar to this silly Maoyu who was trapped in a glass jar? No matter how hard you try, you can't go to the outside world after all, and spend your life in a small glass jar. ”

Knock knock~

As if echoing the words of the monster sage, the little Mao Yu in the jar hit the glass wall twice hard.

The atmosphere was dull again, only the Mao Yu was still rolling happily in the jar, occasionally making a few collision sounds to highlight his presence.

"Does this little guy have a name?"

Yakumo asked suddenly.

"Name...... Yes! Every time this kid comes back! I'll give it a new name! ”

"What's the name? Is it Mao Yu I, II, III, IV? Or is it a big hair, two hairs, three hairs, and four hairs? ”

A sinister smile appeared on Purple's pretty girlish face, and in her opinion, Reimu had no talent for choosing a name.

"What! I also have a serious name for this child! ”

Reimu puffed out her chest unconvinced.

"This child's first name is steamed buns!"

"Hmm...... Quite figurative. ”

Purple nodded approvingly.

"The second name is Baozi!"

"It's okay."

"The third name is Lantern Festival!"

"......" The expression of the monster sage stiffened slightly.

"Marshmallow!"

"Rice cake dumplings!"

"Gold!"

"Silver!"

"Copper!"

"Money!"

One by one, Lingmeng reported the names that Silly Maoyu had used, and the monster sage who listened to it looked confused.

"This kid has witnessed Reimu's growth every step of the way."

"Purple ~ What are you talking about?"

"Nothing...... There are only nine of them. What's this one called now? ”

"Now?"

Reimu put the small jar in front of her eyes and played with Mao Yu with wide eyes and stared at her.

"It's called 'stupid' now, and it obviously has such a vast world to live outside, but it abandons it, and prefers to live in this little jar...... It's so stupid! So it should be called stupid! ”

"yes...... It's really stupid. ”

I don't know why, Yakumo Purple suddenly thought of the monsters in Gensokyo, those who gave up their lives in the outside world and hid in Gensokyo...... It's so stupid.

Suddenly, Yakumo Purple showed a bright smile, and the mood that had been gloomy because of the end of Gensokyo had become a lot clearer, and the youkai sage, who had always been very evil, had just thought of a very interesting thing.

"Na~ Reimu, you like this little guy very much, right?"

"Hmmm! Like! ”

Reimu replied without hesitation.

"So...... I announce! This Mao Yu is Gensokyo's next generation of shrine maidens! Boli Maoyu! ”

“…… Ha? Yes? Ay? Purple you smoked it, right? How is this kind of thing possible. ”

After hearing the words of the monster sage, Reimu instinctively retorted, but found out again...... It seems that even if this Mao Yu becomes a Hakurei witch, it won't be a big deal, anyway, Gensokyo will be finished soon.

"I don't even have a human form......"

The current generation of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden stared at the jar in her hand with a wry smile, and through a layer of glass, the next Hakurei Shrine Maiden was rolling stupidly...... Mao Yu likes to roll around when she is bored, which is her nature.

Suddenly, Reimu's expression became serious.

"Purple ...... You feel it, right? ”

"Hmm...... I felt it! The destruction of Gensokyo begins. ”

The monster sage's expression also became serious.

"So, what are you going to do with Reimu?"

"Don't you need to say it!"

The girl placed the jar on the ground and took out the coin.

"To do the work of the Shrine Maiden, of course! Solve this unprecedented anomaly! ”

"Then let's go!"

Spreading his parasol in style, the monster sage flew towards the place where the destruction began.

"I'm leaving! I'll be back when I fix this mutation! I've been waiting for you to come back! It's time for you to wait for me this time!

"The stupid guy who always knocks the little jar with a clang...... Hakurei knock, let you see the pride of the Hakurei shrine maiden! ”

As she spoke, Reimu flew in the direction where the destruction had begun, and the red and white butterflies tried to stop a devastating rain, though she herself thought it was impossible.

But so what?

"I am! Hakurei shrine maiden! ”
