Chapter Twenty-Nine: Home (2-in-1 Chapter)

It seems that there are a lot of youkai here today? Ibuki Tsuika (the one that Xiao Ai holds in her arms), and the big goblin of Rukino's childhood sweetheart? It seems to be called Miso... And, Yakumo Orange of the Yakumo family? Yakumo Orange seems to be the Shikigami of the Purple Shikigami? It's a bit tongue-twisting to say this, but according to Reimu, Purple is lazy, so the housework of the Yakumo family and the like are all handed over to the Shikigami of Purple named Yakumo Blue. But I don't know why, if you add oranges, it will feel like a family of three......

Today's shrine is much more lively than usual. It is said that every once in a while, youkai will come to the shrine and have some parties, parties, parties, and so on.

"This~~is~ for you~" Rumia, who was pinched by Reimu, showed an innocent expression and held a woven flower crown in her hand.

It seems that it was discussed with my companions.,Thank you for Reimu's constant care, right? In fact, the relationship between Reimu and youkai is very good, powerful youkai, don't hate her, weak youkai, close to her~ And Lumia, it is said, was once a troll, but she has never seen her devour humans, and she will always come to the shrine every once in a while. As for Reimu, she is also treated like an ordinary little girl.

Reimu rarely showed a hint of shyness: "Originally, it was stuffed with money or other gifts, but it's not bad...... Well, then I'll take ......."

Outcome...... Before she could finish speaking, Lumia bit Reimu very closely...... It seems that she prefers to bite people close to her...... Thereupon. There was another burst of laughter.

"Dreams are born, and they are the strongest spell cards that every Hakuri witch will master. A powerful secret technique that reflects reality through the heart. Each generation of Hakurei shrine maidens will be born with dreams, and every witch will be born with dreams. It's all different...... Dream Spirit is still far from mastering the dream innate. ”

Purple is elusive, Chen Wei already knew, at this time she had unconsciously appeared behind her, and sighed by the way.

Squinting at the purple holding the umbrella in the past, looking at the past from the side of the face, it is really very beautiful: "Gensokyo's spell card rules?" The strongest spell card...... Could it be that Ryu will too? He sighed.

Purple nodded: "The last Hakurei shrine maiden, using the dream of transforming the darkness in her heart into power......"

Immediately, she seemed to be in a trance: "Obviously...... It's eliminated every time," I saw as Lumia smiled happily. A small tiger tooth was exposed, but Purple was the contemplative look.

"Purple? What the hell are you doing? What to eliminate? Although Zi's voice was very small, Chen Wei still heard it at the tip of his ear.

"Of course... Memory, some bad memory, well, it's really troublesome, that guy who causes trouble, I have to deal with it every time I get into trouble. Think of me as a matter of aftermath? Zi whispered with some dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, for some things, I still don't want to ask more, but. Is this really good for Reimu? Whether it's sad memories or not, that's the most important part. Glazed... Isn't she back? Although, there is something wrong with the way of returning. Shouldn't we be able to reap happiness? Chen Wei stood next to Zi, full of complicated expressions.

"Well. Anyway, this looks good, right? ”

Zi was silent, it seems that she is very similar to Ryu in some places, many things, she likes to touch and bear alone, maybe, her heart has already become, incomparably strong, right? Joy, anger and sorrow are rarely expressed, and every time it is a smile. It seems that there is never sadness, and every day is full of vitality.

Presumably, Purple is also very tired, right? Chen Wei thought so, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter, how Liu's friends were all the same as her......

"It's another quiet and peaceful day." Purple sighed.

Looking at the purple who is out of the mind, I don't know why, there is always a very charming taste, this is the legendary motherhood? Chen Wei also followed her gaze, a little distracted, and sighed: "The girls who maintain their liveliness and joy like this make me feel that this is Gensokyo, right?" ”

"Hehe, yes~" Suddenly, there was a weight that pressed on his body...... Purple doesn't know when she regained that naughty mentality, very girly from her back, it seems to be a look of letting herself carry it...... (In the corner of the screen, a barrage like this silently appeared: "It should be burned!! Purple Mom, be sure to let me carry it! Let go of that boy, what's coming at me! Boy, it's enough for you to have Liu, don't go to the purple mother line anymore!! The traveler gritted his teeth silently... ）

Purple looked ahead, looking at the "Corolla... Obviously, every time they met since then, the memories of the two of them have been erased."

Looking over there, Reimu, who was smiling sweetly, and Lumia, Purple was like a five-flavor bottle in her heart, "It's incredible, it's like nothing has happened...... Come back. "Those two people have been transferred as they were at that time, no matter how many times they are deleted, they still retain that feeling, right?

"No, it's a little bit of a thing, it's jealous." Thinking so, Purple smiled like a goddess.

Feeling Purple's weight... Girlish? The snort, as well as the fragrance, the boy was a little embarrassed, "Being seen by Liu, I won't be a firewood knife, right?" Thinking so, but it didn't destroy the atmosphere, watching Reimu pinching Lumia's face and scolding cutely: "Idiot" and then Lori Rumia's tearful expression... After letting go of your hand. Laughing happily again.

After a while, Chen Wei began to get down to business: "I was attacked last night, presumably, you and her (Liu) have understood, right?" ”

Speaking of business, the index finger of Zi's right hand was placed on his lips, with a thoughtful look: "I have already understood your attack, and the things that Reimu went to investigate, the anomaly that Reimu investigated seems to be caused by a large increase in negative elements, there are signs of manipulation, and your attack is very strange, I went to the place where you were attacked, and I didn't find any valuable information." It seems that the enemy is an alien species? ”

Chen Wei said calmly: "Let's wait and see, now we are in the light, and those guys who want to cause trouble are in the dark." Just keep this calm for the time being, and they will always show more horses' feet. ”

Purple laughed: "I feel the same way." ”

Chen Wei looked around. I couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about Ryu?" Didn't I come back with you? Isn't it the plot of a reunion after a long absence? ”

Yakumo sighed, then put one hand on his forehead. seems to be very sad: "The plot seems to be very wrong, that guy, sometimes it's a headache, you go and persuade her, she is now, temporarily living, in the village below......"

"Before I do that, can I ask the Great Sage something?" The boy asked cautiously.

"Huh? Is there something bothering you? The throbbing of adolescence? As she spoke, Purple had a stupid expression.

"Ahem. When, can you come down? You're not going to let me go to Ryu behind your back, are you? The boy protested quietly. (Protest against your sister!! I still want to carry it! How can it be repaired! Why do I have more gasoline and torches in my hands! ）

"Huh? That's a good idea, but how about carrying me to see Ryu? Purple said with a smile.

The boy was a little dissatisfied~"Hey, hey~ Don't make this kind of joke, Ryu will kill me, why are you full of strange ideas in your head~! The warm atmosphere that was just right was ruined by you all at once! ”

"Huh? Aren't you talking about work? Hawkers, I'm just testing. Test~! Test it, what did Ryu feel at the time, it is said that once, didn't you carry her for more than ten kilometers like this? ”

Purple seems to be playful. also deliberately leaned into Chen Wei's ear and said this, and the young man almost couldn't hold it anymore...... At this time, you can feel that purple is actually. It's still very interesting... Didn't think about it, felt and looked. The gap will be so big......

Ahem, at this time, the heart should be like water. The mind is free from distractions.

However, Chen Wei was a little dissatisfied with what Ryu had said so much about his own affairs: "How many things did Ryu say, Great Sage, if you want to experience it, you can accompany you at any time next time, but can you play with the tree now?" Also, there are kids over there! Let the little ones see that it's not good! ”

Zi had a thoughtful expression: "Well, let me think about it~ Otherwise, ten suppers?" ”

"Hey, you're enough~ Ten supper, won't you get fat if you eat so much? Don't you have Yakumo Blue in your house? ”

"Eh, I've eaten a lot of Japanese food, and I want to change the taste occasionally~"

In the end, someone who was blackmailed by Purple for 20 suppers silently walked down the mountain, as if he had accumulated nearly a few hundred copies of Supper owed Purple...... Hey, hey, it doesn't seem like it's over at all!! Why do they accumulate more and more?

Knock knock knock...... There was a knock on the door, and it wasn't long before footsteps came from the house, and the owner opened the door, revealing a slightly stunning face.

Seeing Ryu again, it seems that her spirit is not bad~

Seeing that it was Chen Wei, Liu said lightly: "Come in~"

Well, it's okay, it's not like I'm going to stab myself with a firewood knife or something.

When you walk into the house, you will see a Japanese-style building typical of Gensokyo...... Looks like, Ryu, seems to be eating lunch, well, is it a ramen?

The girl sat at the coffee table, glanced at Chen Wei, and said lightly: "If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and get it yourself~"

At this time, Chen Wei was obedient like a primary school student, and went into the kitchen to take a portion from the pot by herself, it seemed that Liu's cooking was too much, or did she already know that she would come? It's really hard to guess.

But how long has it been? Every time I eat noodles with Liu, I will have a very warm feeling, but last time, it should have been in the hospital ward, at that time she was this breezy appearance, as if the person who died soon was not her.

Holding the ramen, sitting down, smelling the familiar and unfamiliar smell: "The taste of the noodles you made is really unforgettable." ”

When Ryu eats noodles, she looks at a kind and pleasing elegance, how to say it? Similar to the feeling of Nadeshiko? It feels like a work of art.

Ryu couldn't help but glance at him and scolded with a smile: "Idiot... Don't you get tired of eating? ”

Chen Wei took apart a pair of chopsticks, and then took it for granted: "There are too few women who can make noodles for themselves now, well, especially in the current world where the craftsmanship is so good, you know, well, don't do housework." What are you doing if you're lazy..."

Ryu teased with a smile: "Actually, many girls are very proficient in housework, right?? Prejudices, like your class leader? ”

Chen Wei, who was just about to drink the soup, was suddenly choked. A violent cough: "Aren't you, what do you say the squad leader does?" How is she. I don't know anything about it! ”

Ryu stared at herself with suspicion: "Besides, don't you have a very capable maid?" ”

What kind of plot is this, Chen Wei sat on pins and needles, and laughed dryly: "That, it's just my servant, servant, our relationship is very innocent!" Speaking of this, Chen Wei himself had some disbelief. For Abel's sincere feelings, the teenager is actually very complicated, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

"You're really, funny!" Ryu chuckled.

The two were silent, eating noodles quietly, speaking of which, Chen Wei was really very hungry, and he had fought all night. In addition, it seems that I haven't eaten anything today, or rather, it is a delicacy made by Ryu that I haven't eaten for a long time.

Looking at Chen Wei, who was eating noodles in a big gulp, he looked at it with a smile. Then he asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Well, it's probably the most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life." The boy said vaguely.

"Liar. You said that 5 years ago. Same words. ”

Chen Wei put down his chopsticks, as if recalling something: "5 years ago." At that time, it was, but isn't your craft better now than it was five years ago? So it's normal that the food you cook now is better than it was 5 years ago! Chen Wei laughed.

For example, when you go home for dinner, your mother's craftsmanship may not be more delicious than the food outside, but there is an indescribable taste, which is probably the taste of home, which will make people feel that the food at home is not comparable to the delicious food outside. Soy milk from an old shop, a bowl of fresh rice noodles, or steaming pancakes made by an elderly boss. After playing with my friends for the first time, the taste of Coke was drunk together for the first time......

At that time, I always felt that the taste of the food was so delicious, but when I grew up, I wanted to find it in every possible way, but I couldn't find the taste in my memory and childhood. Maybe it's the owner who used to make pancakes and fruits, no longer there, and the small shop that often goes to eat is closed, and the soy milk shop that has been doing it for more than ten years has opened many branches, but the taste is not as good as before.

Chen Wei's dedication to Liu, probably because Liu gave Chen Wei a sense of home, as a young child, his parents died in an accident, and then adopted by his adoptive parents.

Chen Wei always maintains a deep vigilance against all kinds of people and things, discord with his adoptive parents, and finally runs away from home, and meets Ryu on the street in despair.

After so many years of getting along, I'm used to Liu's existence, sometimes, she's not just a girl who can be tackled, but a persistence, a person who can give herself, the person who calls home, some people, in their lives, once lost, can never come back. As someone who once lost Ryu and met Ryu again, this lost and regained feeling is indescribable.

For comparison, you can probably use the magical girl Madoka Kori, the feelings of Miyan Miyan for Shikameen, even if it is countless reincarnations, to save Shikame's feelings, until the end, because of the regret of loss, in the end, this relationship becomes extremely selfish, and that's because of the fear of losing it again. Therefore, this feeling has become a simple attachment......

Many people, just standing beside you, a smile, an encouraging look, maybe you will be full of energy, precipitated memories, are everyone's most precious treasures, that can be said to be the most cherished things.

A few years ago, because of the exchange student matter, Chen Wei, as an exchange student, had to study in another place for a period of time, and the two had to be forced to separate, so that Chen Wei, who was used to Liu's existence, became very, very uncomfortable with the days when Liu's absence.

When you have such a person in your life, there is such a person who usually eats with you, does housework together, watches TV together, chats together, and relies on each other together. You will find that there is something missing in life, when you return home, there is no figure of leisurely drinking tea, lying on the sofa without the guy who grabbed the TV with you, opened the refrigerator, and there is no person who grabs pudding with you. There's no guy who argues with you because of the trivial things in life. There's no guy who watches movies together.,Make up for the new one while complaining...

Losing such a person, such a time, will become very unaccustomed, will be very nostalgic, such a person, her eyes, a smile, a movement, a look, will make you feel very warm.

At that time, it had just snowed heavily, and the train back was delayed, and the feeling of incomparable anticipation of the reunion tormented me like this, and time tortured me as if it was revealing malice.

There is such a person... I can bring you such a surprise after you drag your tired body and get off the train, it is a girl whose face is red from the cold, in the waiting room... Drowsy.

When I get home, I will cry with joy and remember that Ryu is the same, and I will make myself a portion, "You only have the delicious ramen made", and feel the familiar taste. Suddenly, I felt that there was a very warm feeling brewing that would make people's eyes warm.

This feeling is called happiness, and this is the taste of home.

At this moment, Chen Wei seemed to have an illusion, the illusion of going home. (To be continued......)

PS: It seems that the cold has recurred today, I slept for a day, and I only had the energy to code words at night, and the time was a little bit, or asking for a monthly pass, asking for praise, asking for rewards and collections, well, I'm a greedy person~
