Chapter 259: In the Human World
Reimu started to shake off the shopkeeper and ran away. □, Sanae still had something to discuss with her, so she chased after her. Ibaraki Kaho said goodbye to everyone and left the shrine. So all that's left is Shiki, them, and Marisa.
"Reimu guy ......"
Marisa complained, but did as she did with her best friend's request.
"I'll take you to the village."
"Don't force it."
Shiki said to Marisa.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'd love to talk to you interferers, too. ”
Since Marisa had no objection and Shiki had no reason to object, they walked down the mountain together.
Marisa is very talkative, and on the way she asks Shiki a lot about the Meddler, and Shiki hears a lot about Gensokyo from her.
Not in writing, but in fact that is really heard by the local population.
In general, there is no difference from the background of the game that I knew before the four seasons, and even some of the historical events have not changed, the only difference is that there have been a lot of interveners for a while.
"It was a real shock at the time."
Marisa said happily, and it seemed that the presence of the interferer did not make a bad impression on her.
"Miss Marisa doesn't care?"
At this time, Miyuki asked her.
"What?"
"Like everyone knows about you?"
"Ahh It was a surprise, but it didn't take long to get used to it. ”
Scratching her head, Marisa had a nonchalant expression, and she didn't know if she was generous or nervous.
"And the interveners are funny guys, and they get a lot of interesting props from them."
"Is that the root cause?!"
Miyuki was speechless.
The group continued to move forward, and after a while, Shiki felt a lot of human breath coming from ahead, and a village could be seen in the distance.
It is a village with mainly wooden buildings, and the overall style of Edo period architecture is not small.
This is where the humans of Gensokyo live.
Gensokyo is a place where forgotten yokai and fantasy can live freely, and the existence of yokai requires the fear of humans, and in Gensokyo, humans and youkai are in a state of subtle symbiotic coexistence.
Even this human village has a shop run by youkai or comes here to buy things.
After a short time, they entered the village, and if you look closely, you will see that although the style is very ancient, you can see things like telephone poles on the roadside, and some shops have neon signs on them, so it seems that the standard of human habitation here is not as low as it seems.
There are a lot of people coming and going on the streets, and even when they see Shiki, people who are dressed differently from the locals, just take a few more looks, and there is no more reaction. After all, it's a place where youkai are harassed from time to time, and the nerves of the villagers are already resolute, at least they won't be surprised by the strange costumes.
"I'll take you to the village inn first."
"Please."
Shiki responded.
Led by Marisa, they weave through the streets and alleys of the village.
Marisa is a magician who lives in the enchanted forest outside the village, but she is still a human and the daughter of a large prop house in the village, so she knows a lot about the situation in the village.
"Are you saying you're here to practice?"
"Yes. Because there is a lot of knowledge here, and there are also many people who are suitable for opponents. ”
"Opponent. I've heard that interferers have to fight a lot, and it's hard. ”
"Hardship changes according to different people's senses, and I don't think it's hard."
"Hey? Then I'm here to help! ”
Marisa said excitedly, looking eager to try.
"If you can, by all means."
There is no reason for Shiki to refuse this, and according to his understanding, Marisa is not the strongest in Gensokyo, but it is also a stalwort.
"I want you to be Miyuki's opponent."
Marisa isn't much of an opponent for Shiki, but it's just right for Miyuki.
"Me?"
Miyuki, who was suddenly named, pointed at herself, although she has been promoted by the four seasons in the past few days by cramming with thousands of reward points, but there is not much that she can actually play, and she has no confidence in the face of Marisa.
"Can't win, can you?"
"That's for sure."
Shiki replied as a matter of course that unless Miyuki was able to master the power of the magic book now, she wouldn't even have the power to fight.
"Don't you want to be so direct."
"That's what you asked."
Shiki certainly couldn't understand Miyuki's embarrassment, he continued.
"Marisa is a magician, you can ask her about magic."
That's what Shiki is going to do, and it's not impossible for him to guide Miyuki himself, but his development path is not exactly the same as that of a magician.
"Is Miyuki also a magician?"
Marisa was immediately interested.
"It's just the learning phase."
Miyuki hurriedly waved her hand, her level of tricks didn't dare to show her ugliness.
"If you want to fight, he's the best fit."
So she immediately led the way to the east.
"Marisa can't beat me."
The four seasons, who were not aware of this in the slightest, inadvertently let out a taunt.
"Oh? Shiki is very confident. ”
Of course, Marisa couldn't bear to be told that to her face.
"Because it's a fact."
"Interesting."
Marisa raised an eyebrow.
"So...... Let's have a fight! ”
"Do you want to fight?"
Shiki looks at Marisa, who is already in a state of war.
"That's right! If you can win, I will help you cultivate. If you lose, do one thing for me. ”
"It's not fair."
"Huh?"
"My reward has been confirmed, but your reward is unknown. Since it is a gambling contract, it is best to be equivalent. ”
"Hey! You're not going to take the opportunity to do something weird, are you? ”
At this time, Miyuki on the side interjected.
“?”
"It should really be equivalent, then it's all about helping each other do one thing, but don't mention strange things."
Marisa agrees to Shiki's request.
"What do you mean by something strange?"
It's nice to say that there is a qualification, but it's too vague.
"Leave the strange judgment to Miyuki."
Marisa said after a moment's thought.
"Yes, indeed."
But isn't that good for you? Shiki thought to himself.
"No problem! I'm not going to let him mess around! ”
However, Miyuki seems to be on Marisa's side, and she can't figure out why Shiki is at a loss.
Anyway, since it had been discussed, they decided to compete immediately.
