"Phew, let's get some rest tonight, everyone." In the slightly dilapidated bedroom of the shrine, knocking out the cigarette ash from the cigarette gun, Ling Yan silently said to everyone, "Although we have done our homework, tomorrow we still have to find a way to find some information about this world, and pay attention to avoiding the strong people of this world as much as possible." If you have to fight, just stay out of the barrage and wait for someone else's support. That's it, let's sleep. ”

"Yan, you still look very uneasy."

"It's okay, let me be quiet." Stuffing the tobacco back into the sniffer, Ling Yan had a calm expression: "Tonight, no matter what happens on my side, don't come over." ”

"-yes, I see." Sai nodded, "Wait a minute, let Reimu come over, right?" After all, she was the one who knew [that person] best, right? ”

"Maybe it makes no difference if you come or not, right?" Ling Yan picked up the cigarette gun again and said, "Whether it will start a fight directly, I don't know." ”

"Because, I can't get along with that person in essence."

―――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――――

The moon gradually rose high in the sky, and Ling Yan and the others also ushered in their first night in Gensokyo.

"Are you feeling better?" Looking at his lover who was leaning on his shoulder, Ling Yan asked gently.

"Well, it's fine." She replied just as gently, "Sorry for worrying you." ”

"So, would you like to come with me to meet your old friend?"

When the question was spoken, she immediately fell silent.

"If you don't want to, I'll go myself."

"It's okay, I'll go with you." She said, standing up. He looked at Ling Yan with an unusually firm expression: "I said it, I will face all problems with you." ”

"So, it's the luckiest thing I've ever done to marry you." Ling Yan said with emotion, and took Reimeng's hand.

The two of them walked towards the entrance of Hakurei Shrine, which was really like their own home to Reimu.

―――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――――

A slightly dilapidated shrine entrance. The red-and-white clothed shrine maiden and a woman with long blond hair sat side by side, but Ling Yan sat silently opposite them with Reimu, who was looking at everything familiar with a nostalgic gaze, looking up at the unpolluted sky of Gensokyo.

"Should I be surprised, or should I feel that I really encountered something that I couldn't believe at all?"

The blonde woman looked at Lingmeng gently, her eyes didn't look at Ling Yan at all: "It's been a long time, Lingmeng." ”

"Well, I really didn't expect to meet in this capacity. Oil curry. Retracting his nostalgic gaze, Reimu smiled at his old friend and said, "

"Oil curry peat! It's purple! Although the tone was an expression that seemed to stab at the sore spot, it was an unusually nostalgic expression: "It's been a long time since I've heard this kind of name." Do your juniors call me a monster directly? Is that rude? ”

"Hey, you dead monster always gets me in trouble! How can I possibly give you a good look!? ”

"That's right, it seems that the oil curry has not changed a little bit from the same oil, in terms of causing trouble." Listening to the complaints of his juniors, Reimu smiled and sighed.

"Well, but now is not the time to continue greetings." The blonde woman smiled seductively, her white-gloved right hand holding a fan to cover half of her face, "If you can." Can you tell us your true purpose? ”

"All I can tell you is that we have no ill will towards this Gensokyo." Ling Yan looked at Yakumo Zi with a blank expression. Just with an expression as if he saw the enemy, he continued: "Of course, whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to us. ”

"Hehe, I'm sure I'll believe Reimu." Yakumo Zi covered half of his face with a fan, and looking at Ling Yan's expression, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, "As for your words." I really need to watch for a while. ”

"Oh? Then I really feel flattered that I can be called helpless. Ling Yan ignored Yakumo Zi's eyes that were about to eat people, and held the cigarette gun in his hand as if he was spinning a pen, and after going back and forth a few times, he finally looked into Yakumo Zi's eyes, "Then do you want to try it a little now?" How much do I threaten you or something? ”

All of a sudden. The small courtyard was full of murderous energy, and the surging energy was surging from all directions, and the dilapidated wooden planks couldn't stand the squeeze of this viscous energy and made a dangerous ** sound, and a sound like the impact of soldiers and iron sounded!

And Yakumo Zi and Ling Yan had already left the place where they were sitting, and instead, the two of them showed a smile like a bloodthirsty beast and retreated at the same time, looking at the closed fan held by the two of them and the scarlet giant sword pulled out, you could know how the voice just came out.

"Pretty good, old woman?" Spit out the smoke, Ling Yan revealed a line of unexpected mockery: "The waist is not flashing, is it?" ”

"Where, where, I haven't been fragile enough to be exercised by a ghost to flash to the waist~" Turning the fan back open, she also said mocking words: "However, at this level, I guess I'm too worried." ”

"Then why don't you try it, can I slaughter you now?"

"You can try, but only if someone collects your body."

As with the words above, the two of them regained what they could probably call a weapon, and were really ready to go to war!

"Don't!" Hongbai covered her mouth helplessly in surprise, and was about to stand up to stop Purple.

At this time, a hand silently pressed on Purple's shoulder, and Purple turned her head suddenly, and looked into the eyes of the owner of this hand for a few seconds, and finally removed the fan.

"It's better that tonight's events didn't happen." Yakumo Zi held the gorgeous umbrella, squinted at Reimu behind him, and sighed softly, "If I have the chance, I really want to try your strength." Right now, though, you're not eligible. ”

Reimu looked at Yakumo Zi worriedly, and then at Ling Yan and the so-called original seniors who looked exactly like him. Zi touched Reimu's head and smiled tiredly: "I'm sorry, I remembered some things from the past...... Reimu, the enchantment is more up to you. ”

"Hmm. Rest assured. Reimu looked up firmly at Purple's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Reimu." She turned her back and said, "I won't stop your choice." ”

"Actually, it's good to be like this all the time, isn't it?" Faced with Yakumo's question, Reimu asked rhetorically.

"Maybe." Saying a similar response, Yakumo Zi didn't look at a few more people, waved his hand, and walked into the gap that suddenly appeared.

The gap quickly narrowed and closed after that, but in a flash, it seemed that a pair of malicious eyes inside widened and looked out.

------------ Dividing Line---------------

"I slept so well last night." Thea yawned and complained. Next to her, Sakumi didn't look awake. Xiao Qi sat silently in the corner of the room and leaned quietly against the corner of the wall, as if he had slept in this position all night.

The priest sat silently for a night, not knowing whether he was sleeping, or meditating.

And the rest of them all ran outside the house to breathe in the fresh air, even Zhao Yingkong, who had always been bad at words.

"Everybody's awake." Hongbai greeted everyone with a grin, as if nothing had happened last night, but when he passed by Ling Yan, his body was involuntarily on guard and patted Thea on the shoulder. "What, are you usually very busy and don't sleep well?"

"Of course. Every day, I still study formulas, make various mechanical weapons, and study how to deal with the mysterious side, but it's very brain-dead. Listening to the red and white witch's question, Thea began to complain meaningfully.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Faced with something that she didn't understand at all, the red and white shrine maiden had an expression of no explanation.

"Ah, ah, ah, forget if you don't understand, we're mercenaries anyway." Thea rubbed her hair, "And you're the manager of the enchantment." It's not safe with you, where else is it? ”

- Actually, it's completely Ling Yan's willingness to rest assured that Lingmeng can't do it, right? Besides, we also need to sort out the information in our minds to carry out tasks and communication.

Thea finished making up the last reason in her heart, only to see that the girls around her also had a look of "I understand what you say".

"Today, everyone is mainly collecting information about this world, this is the basic distribution of forces in Gensokyo, remember not to touch these locations, it is likely to be the side plot of this world."

After breakfast. Sai Chao said earnestly to the people gathered around: "Now that the future mission is not clear, try not to conflict with the powerhouses of this world, and don't get involved in unknown side plots." ”

With that, she flipped the switch on the projection map on her watch, and a simple map of Gensokyo's power distribution appeared in everyone's minds.

"Yesterday, everyone also understood the rules of the battle in this world, if there is a conflict, I still say the same thing, you just need to dodge the barrage and hold on until the others arrive."

"It's a siren." Thea sent a small contact to each person, "I'm already full of energy inside, just press the button and my terminal here can receive the message, and pressing it means emergency support." ”

"Then it's a group, Xiao Qi and I still have a group of nights, you and Thea are in a group, and the rest of the people are staying at the Hakurei Shrine." Suddenly, he said as if he were a military advisor, "Ling Jun and Lingmeng will be ready to support at any time, remember, they will return to this place before dark at the latest." ”

"Got it all right, let's go!"

------------ Dividing Line---------------

"Where are we going?" Walking on the road, Thea pursed her lips and looked around vigilantly, asking without looking back.

"Let's go to the human world, it's all humans who should be better able to gather information." Sakumi thought about it for a moment and said.

------------ Dividing Line---------------

"What about us? Sacrifice to? Flying in mid-air, Xiao Qi asked towards the sacrifice.

"Well, see? It's a good idea to take a stroll. Speaking lines that didn't have a sense of crisis, Sai said with a smile.

――Do you always feel that something bad is going to happen?

Looking at her smile, Xiao Qi complained helplessly.

------------ Dividing Line---------------

"Is that really okay? Is it dangerous to detach? A few people left the Boli Shrine, and Ling Yan finally couldn't help but ask Lingmeng.

Reimu just nodded slightly. Shaking his head again: "Of course there is a problem. ”

Before Ling Yan could ask rhetorically, Reimu continued, "Because I probably don't know much about this world now, I can't know everything like a prophet or a prophet. ”

"The rest of the task is on our own, and I'm useless right now."

"Reimu."

"This time, it seems that we can only believe in the sacrifice, right?" Reimu looked back and said, smiling like a forced smile, "So." Don't ask me any questions, okay? ”

With a slight sigh, he hugged Reimu: "Okay, this time you can have a good rest." ”

"-Thank you." Lingmeng snuggled into Ling Yan's arms and thanked him.

At least here, she can get everything she wants.

However, this time it was really a broken promise

―――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――――

It's been half a day since the Dream Team went their separate ways in the morning, and Thea and Sayumi's group have made good progress.

According to Thea's suggestion, the two came to the human world to find plot characters such as historians.

Along the way, I unexpectedly met a lot of youkai, and these youkai were also doing business and communicating with each other like humans. All this can't help but surprise Thea, who is still curious and terrifying.

"It's a simple way to use strength. Suppress the ** of the monster with absolute force, I don't know if there is no manager, this so-called Gensokyo will become a real demon world infested by demons. ”

Thea pinched her chin as she walked, and Sayumi followed him slightly on guard.

Leading the two in front is the recorder of the history of this Gensokyo: Barnyard Aqiu.

It is said that when the two of them came to the barnyard field together, the girl, who seemed to be full of the smell of books, hurriedly came out to greet the two.

When she learned that the two were not youkai but humans, she seemed to ask expectantly about the outside world of Gensokyo, after hearing about it. She couldn't help but feel the great changes in human life.

And now the place where the three of them went is the residence of Kamibai Zehuiyin as mentioned by Aqiu in the barnyard field.

- Divine beast Bai Ze...... Familiar with the past and the present. Familiar with everything, one of the four spirit beasts, and not a fantasy novel, is it really okay to have such a sensual setting!?

As the distance from Bai Ze Huiyin's residence got closer and closer, Thea completely began to complain in her heart, which also represented her uneasiness.

After all, as a person on the technology side. She doesn't believe in all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!

Now it's time to face the terrifying beasts! What a cheat!

While Thea was thinking wildly, a girl with different eyes and different eyes holding a small umbrella suddenly came out of the grass.

"Wow......" Before the kid could utter a complete voice, Thea only felt an afterimage pass by, and when she looked up, she just saw Sakumi stretching out her finger and knocking the other party out of the distance.

"Ahem...... it seems that he was not lightly thrown just now. The girl was dizzy and touched for a long time before picking up the small umbrella on the ground, and her already gray clothes were now full of dust.

Barnyard Aqiu covered his mouth and exclaimed softly when the other party was knocked away, and then hurriedly lifted his skirt and ran over. And Sha Gongshi, who saw the little girl's appearance clearly, didn't bother to continue to be vigilant, but sighed with an expression that lifted the corners of his eyes......

"Little umbrella, are you alright?" Barnyard Aqiu gently helped the girl to her feet.

"Well, I, I hate it." Xiao Umbrella looked at Ah Qiu with a bitter face, and when his eyes saw Sha Gongshi, he hurriedly covered half of his face with the umbrella in his hand, "You are, you are a strange person." ”

"They're here to find Teacher Huiyin, but they're not strange people." Ah Qiu picked up the clogs scattered on the ground and put on the small umbrella, "Is Teacher Huiyin at home now?" ”

"Well, I guess I'm at home. Just now Qiluno was doing very well, and we ended up with school early. The umbrella nodded, pointed in the direction behind him, and then walked over to the grass just now.

"Weird, isn't it?" As he walked, he said to Thea and the others, "Why are youkai doing nothing but waiting to scare humans. Even with the suppression of the Hakurei shrine maiden, the youkai who has always been known for their bloodlust and cruelty has lost even their true heart. ”

"It's because of the tacit understanding between the big monster and the administrator." Thea said without thinking, "As long as you control the mind of the big monster, there is no power of public opinion for the monster without a complete social structure, and the rest of the little monster is not how to pinch it." And if there are stable rules, the ones who will profit the most will be the little monsters who have no power. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts." Ah Qiu looked back at Thea in surprise, "Actually, the youkai in Gensokyo may be different from the youkai you think, for example, the youkai just now is a scaring youkai, and the umbrella that has been forgotten for many years has become a youkai and feeds on the horror of humans. Not all youkai are man-eating youkai. ”

A youkai that feeds on the horrors of humans? Thea seemed to have thought of something, but when she thought about it, she couldn't grasp anything.

This kind of yokai is very deformed.,Or it's more appropriate to be a character in some kind of game than a yokai.。 Japanese yokai? It seems that there are youkai who feed on filth and essence, but if they are simply frightened, where does the supply of demonic power come from?

While talking and thinking like this, the three of them finally arrived in front of a few wooden houses. In the small courtyard, a girl with waist-length white hair is carrying a bucket to fetch water. Seeing Ah Qiu coming, she nodded slightly as a greeting. (To be continued......)
