A dilapidated wooden boat floating on the Santo River, with Yukaze and Komachi standing at the bow and another handsome man sitting at the stern.

Unnoticed by the others, he suddenly appeared on the ship, and then disappeared again, making Komachi sure that it was the man in front of him.

The psychology is also quite excited, as long as he can be dealt with, he can go directly back to the Santu River in the Gensokyo region to be lazy.

Working hard or something is not the life she wants, and a sense of inadvertent disappointment in her heart also emerges a little.

"I surrender, I'm no match for you by force," before Komachi could say anything, the man suddenly smiled and raised his hands.

“…… Ha? "It's different from what Komachi expected, hey, shouldn't he be forcibly knocked unconscious and taken away for trial, what kind of trouble is surrendering?

"It's not realistic to fight the Grim Reaper Ferryman on the Santu River"

Although he didn't have much time to come to Santuhe, the young man had already chatted with the ferryman many times during this period, and he was relatively clear about the things in the vicinity.

The Santu River has a special ability that prohibits flying, and it is impossible for any living thing to float on the river.

The only exception is the small boat where the Grim Reaper Ferryman is, and under normal circumstances, even if it is several times more powerful, it is unrealistic to want to fight the Ferryman on the Santu River.

"And ......" The young man shook his head casually, his partner was not present, and it was difficult for him to exert his strongest strength.

Looking at the ferryman with the sickle in front of him, just the demonic aura that inadvertently leaked was enough to shock him, even if his partners were there, it was impossible to win.

The other girl next to her, although she didn't bring any pressure and domineering. But the same is true of the ideas that have generated young people. Never be an enemy of it.

His race is a casual youkai who can enter a guest's home at will. But similar to the home of the two in front of him, the race instinct told him that it was best not to enter at will.

Even the fear of the hand was easily torn apart, although he heard from other ferrymen that there would be a strong ferryman to take over, the strength of the strength still exceeded his expectations.

"I surrender, you can do whatever you want, but can you answer me a question" The young man said with a chuckle as he raised his hands in surrender.

"Say" that the strength of the youth is still under control, and there is no possibility of failure. Komachi didn't mind a little longer either.

"Yabuki Otome ......"

“？”

"Have you ever seen a ghost named Yamabuki Otome," the young man asked expectantly with some emotion in his casual tone.

No matter where she is, strength represents the vast majority, and if she can have such strength, she may know her whereabouts.

I have asked several ferrymen, but none of them have received any news, and I have not heard of the soul of Yamabuki Otome.

"It's also a powerful youkai soul?" The scythe was on his shoulder, and Komachi asked with a frown.

“…… It shouldn't count."

"Then how can you know that normal ghosts can't speak, even if they have actually seen them. I'm afraid I didn't know she was Yamabuki Otome."

"It's impossible to ask about the situation here, and it's better to cross the Santu River if you want to know. Go to the Enma and maybe ask something."

“……”

A weak smile, I should have known a long time ago, but I still have a little hope that I may be able to find out the whereabouts of Yabuki Otome.

From the mouths of the other ferrymen, it is learned that once they cross the Santu River, they will be judged by the Enma and decide whether to go to hell, the underworld, or the heavenly realm.

The heavenly realm is saturated, Buddhahood is restricted, the underworld is where the soul stays before rebirth, and finally the hell.

He didn't think that he could go to the heavenly realm and go to hell with the greatest possibility, but Otome might not be there, and once he crossed the Santu River, he might really have no chance.

"Nu Liang carp companion?"

"You are ......" When the young man was disappointed, the girl beside the Death Ferryman stunned him, although he had seen countless girls, he was sure that he did not know her.

If you see it, it will definitely leave an impression.,It's impossible for this beautiful girl to leave a single impression.,But she knows her name.。

"There's no need to look for it, Yamabuki Otome's soul isn't here, and now it should have been reborn by the soul rejuvenation technique" Sitting on the boat, Yufeng looked at Nura Koi Companion curiously.

The outside world of Gensokyo,It turned out to be a slippery ghost?,Speaking of which,There's almost no contradiction between the settings on both sides.。

"Soul Rejuvenation ......" No matter how the other party knows who he is, the three words of Soul Rejuvenation have already shaken Nuliang Carp Companion.

Because just before he died, the child he met was like a gift from heaven, and it was a child who was very similar to her wife, Yamabuki Otome.

If what the other person says is true...... Are you being resented?

"Seems to have thought of who it is?"

“…… Hmm" The look in his eyes was gloomy, and Nu Liang looked at the gray sky.

"If that's what she's hoping for...... Please cross the river with me."

"There's no way" Tilting his head, Yufeng suddenly smiled and said, the pair of Nura Koyo and Yamabuki Otome will help them a little.

"Huh?" After a few seconds of dimming, Nuliang Carp Companion was puzzled by the words of the wind, didn't he come to let him cross the river?

"If you want to cross the river, you have to pay money, and if you don't have money, you can only float on the other side of the bank, even in hell, you need money."

"......" dull eyes, hell...... Have you become such a philistine?

"Ahem, can you owe a little bit, let me cross the river first" How could he have money on his slave carp companion...... He and his father are both owners who never bring money.

"If you don't have money, you can't cross the river"

The slowly fluttering wooden boat had not long reached the other side of the Santu River, not leading to hell, but to the human realm.

"Do you want to cross the river?" Sitting on the boat, Ghost Wind asked with a chuckle.

"Of course" Not long after he fell into a state of distress, he was typed out by a sentence from the ghostly wind, scratching his head depressedly, it turns out that hell is also like this.

If you don't cross the river, you can't be reborn even if you go back, and the soul is an existence that can't communicate with people, can't talk to people, can't come into contact with other people.

Unless he becomes a resentful spirit, but unfortunately he doesn't have this potential, and he doesn't have enough negative emotions, and he doesn't have a stable place in the outside world, so it will dissipate sooner or later.

If you can easily become a resentful spirit, and the battle between monsters destroys the other party in the morning, and the other party turns into a resentful spirit at night to ask for their lives, then the battle will not be chaotic.

Only hell, the underworld, and other places can allow ghosts to survive steadily, and gradually become able to contact other creatures, but once entered, it is impossible to come out again.
