In Gensokyo, there is a vast bamboo forest that is covered in thick fog all year round, and visibility is very poor.

The bamboo grows very tall and sloping, and because it grows quickly, it cannot be used as a road sign, so it is difficult to reach the destination if you get lost in the bamboo forest. That's why it's called the 'Lost Bamboo Forest'.

The Forever Pavilion is an incredible ancient Japanese building hidden in the depths of the Lost Bamboo Forest. It is similar to traditional Japanese architecture, and it feels as if it has been handed down from ancient times to the present day and will never change. Gensokyo is full of noisy and noisy places, but there are also such peaceful places that are guarded by bamboo forests.

However, although the structure of the house is similar to that of an old Japanese house, for some reason, it does not look old.

It's just that Fujiwara Meihong hates coming to this place very much, not only because there is only the minimum amount of necessary light inside, so it is very dim. All around you can hear the sound of the wind brushing against the bamboo, making it impossible to tell whether it is day or night, and whether there are people or no one inside, giving the illusion that time and history have been forgotten.

Or is it because this is the territory of the dead woman.

If she could, the girl only wished that she would come over every year to offer incense - if the dead woman could really die, then it didn't seem too aggrieved to worship once a year.

With such a malicious thought in his mind, by the time Fujiwara Meihong came back to her senses, she was already standing in front of the Eternal Pavilion again.

"Hush." Thinking about what she came here for today, Fujiwara Meihong still suppressed her desires very well, and did not directly perform the scene of demolishing the house and roasting the corpse as usual.

But she doesn't want to make trouble, just because a princess doesn't want to make trouble—

……

……

The girl in front of her has long straight black hair that reaches the waist, a pink blouse, a white bow tie tied with a ribbon on her chest, and a crimson floor-length skirt underneath, with decorative patterns of the moon, clouds, cherry blossoms, bamboo, autumn leaves, and saucers.

Even if you ignore the beautiful appearance and posture, just standing there simply, there is an elegant and noble princess temperament exuding. Even if she didn't care about her demeanor at all, her hands were on her hips, and she was blocking the aisle in front of her with a teasing expression, she was still elegant and noble enough to make any ordinary girl twist and cry.

It's a pity that Fujiwara Meihong felt upset when she looked at it, and she was tired for a while.

"Mt. Penglai Kaguya!! What are you doing in front of me, you dead woman?! Get out of the way! ”

"Yikes! The concubine said Who is this, it turned out to be Mei Hong, what's wrong? Suddenly ran to the concubine's house, and pointed at the master and said that he was in the way? Penglai Mountain Kaguya seemed to have just seen Fujiwara Meihong, raised one sleeve with a smile, gently covered his mouth and said, counterattacking without a trace.

"You——!! Damn, I don't want to come to your territory!! "Sister Fujiwara is angry, but she still doesn't want to make trouble with this guy, after all, a certain injury has to be treated by Eternity!

"Hehe, then why don't you leave, why don't you want to come and block in front of the concubine's house?" The princess didn't care at all about the girl's bad tone, and smiled brightly.

“……”

"Huh? Meihong, why don't you speak? ”

"Humph! I don't have anything to say to you, and I don't want to waste time with you today - Kaguya, you dead woman, don't you crouch in your room all day playing those rotten games? Go ahead, don't chirp here, I'm disgusted when I see you. ”

Sure enough, I and the other party are destined enemies, and if we meet a little more and say a few more words, that kind of anger will rise up slowly!! Thinking so, Fujiwara Meihong gritted her teeth several times, her fists clenched tightly and loosened, and so on three times before she resisted the urge to slap directly on the other party's delicate face.

“……”

“…… Why don't you talk anymore, dead woman?! Why are you looking at me like that! The sudden silence made Fujiwara Meihong a little uneasy.

Is what I just said too bad? But in order to hide her slightly uneasy feeling, the most important thing is that she must not be cowardly in front of Kaguya, so she still deliberately said loudly and viciously.

Her Royal Highness the princess whispered: "Sister Hong, you must know that now you are asking for a concubine, isn't this attitude not good?" ”

"What do you mean, Kaguya?" The big red girl suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Penglai Mountain Kazuya parted a strand of his long soft black hair, played with it with his right hand, and tilted his head slightly:

"Oh, before the concubine, I just thought that the patients you sent were very ordinary, just like those villagers in the world, every once in a while, I sent a few people who couldn't walk through the lost bamboo forest alone...... But now it seems that this is not the case, what kind of person is it, who can actually let you come and see it every day for the past three days? ”

Fujiwara Meihong: "......"

"Well, that's so good, I heard Yonglin say that in the past two days, in order to treat the person you sent, a lot of precious medicinal materials have been used, and you can pay the medical expenses for him in advance, Meihong......" Tapping her index finger on her smooth forehead a few times, the princess smiled and said to Fujiwara Meihong: "Otherwise, I'm afraid that person's next treatment will make you not feel at ease!" ”

"Mt. Penglai Kaguya!! Are you threatening me?! Fujiwara Meihong glared at Penglai Mountain Kaguya, and she had already reached out and rolled up her sleeves. She was really stimulated by this sentence, and planned to beat Kaguya's dead woman's brain out again, so that she could sober up.

"Sister Hong, don't get excited, how could the concubine do such a thing as threatening you with a patient?" The princess blinked innocently, but her black jade eyes were full of evil smiles, "This is just telling the truth, and the Eternal Pavilion is not a good hall, isn't it normal to charge medical fees?" This kind of business behavior, you and I are willing......"

"You ......" Fujiwara Meihong almost fainted.

Damn, although I know that here in the Eternal Pavilion, Kaguya, a dead woman, wants to find her own trouble, and she can find out the problem even if she has no problem, but why is she so angry? No, she obviously came specifically to find the ballast, if she really took advantage of the situation to quarrel with her, the next will definitely be endless......

Glaring at the princess, the silver-haired Penglai girl asked sharply: "Forget it, then you say, how much is the medical fee!" ”

"Huh?" Penglai Mountain Kazuya seemed to be slightly stunned, and then spent a full two seconds after a long absence, looked at Fujiwara Meihong, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "I'm afraid it's very expensive, Meihong, you have to be ready to sell yourself to pay off your debts!" ”

"You ——!!" Fujiwara Meihong was even more angry: "Kaguya, don't think that if I give in, I can casually get an inch!" I don't know if he's an ordinary person, how many valuable medicinal materials can he use up Bayi Yonglin? ”

The princess did not have time to speak, for at this moment a sliding door in the corridor not far away suddenly opened with a swipe.

A silver-haired girl dressed half purple and half red, like a fusion of a nurse's hat and a Taoist outfit, walked out of it with a notebook, and frowned as if she was thinking about some difficult question.

"Huh, Yonglin? Shouldn't you be at the medicine garden at this time? ”

Penglai Mountain Huiye turned around very naturally and beckoned to Bayi Yonglin.

"It's okay to let Lingxian go over there in the medicine garden, I have a problem, and I'm working on it......"

Bayi Yonglin's tone was very cold, as always, and then she looked at the two of them and thought for a moment.

"I've heard you say before, but it's hard for me to explain to you what the hell is going on, so if you want to know, come with me now...... That 'man'. ”

"Huh? Yonglin, that person's question won't be really troublesome, right? The princess asked curiously, blinking her big dark eyes.

Damn it! This dead woman is really talking about it just now!! Fujiwara Meihong's eyes widened in disbelief, and her eyes burned with rage, but Penglai Mountain Kaguya did not have the slightest guilty expression, and still smiled elegantly.

"Not really, it was a hassle on the first day, it was even more troublesome on the second day, and now I can't interfere." As if she hadn't seen the intrigue between the two girls, Bayi Yonglin turned around and led the two towards the other side of the corridor.

"Wait! Bayi Yonglin, what do you mean by this! ”

Fujiwara Meihong was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Bayi Yonglin turned around and glanced at her lightly: "When you sent him over the first night, he was still more like a human being, although the change in life characteristics was a bit strange...... By the next day, all the drugs I had no effect on him, both good and bad...... And on the third day, yesterday, my scalpel couldn't even cut his skin......"

"But the samples that were collected before this are also very interesting, cell activity, muscle strength, base pairing, ...... His bloodline genes are unimaginably perfect for ordinary people, no, for any living being. ”

"Wait, wait—" exclaimed Fujiwara, who had a bad premonition, "and what about today?" Why don't you say what it is today? ”

"......" Bayi Yonglin was silent for a moment, and then said expressionlessly: "Because I don't know what is going on with him today." ”

"What do you say?! What does that mean?! ”

"Wait." The princess suddenly frowned, looking at the long corridor in front of her, almost with no end in sight, "Yonglin, have I ever covered the power of eternity here?" Why hasn't it been there yet? ”

Bayi Yonglin also frowned slightly: "Maybe it's the power of time that has diffused out, and the technique I set up can't stop such a huge power of time and space...... It's too bad now, at this rate, it won't take too long for the ripples of time to cover the entire Lost Bamboo Forest and the entire Gensokyo. ”

"Princess, please use your power - to crack this power of time, we need to get to that room as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Shrine Maiden will soon come to the door."
