Chapter Twenty-Five: Mori Jinrin's suke, in itself, is not qualified to become a guardian
"Well, what should I call it now? But that? Or Rinnosuke? ”
When Ling Yan went to do something, the prop house on the side of the Forest of Magic also welcomed unexpected guests, as well as the unexpected [truth] that the unexpected guests said.
"Hmm~ You really remember the taste of my favorite tea~"
"Whatever you want, and you're not fit to run around now, are you?" Facing the former shrine maiden, Rin Nosuke chewed the tea leaves in his mouth and said, "That person, by now, should have resisted the urge to destroy this place, like a time bomb, which could blow up this place at any time." ”
"And if you run around as the fuse, and disappear completely out of his sight, don't blame me for not warning you, girl."
"Eh, hey, hey~ It's good to find a reason when the time comes, anyway, you will listen to everything I say." She said weird lines while touching Lin Nosuke's head: "By the way, it's really interesting to suddenly look at the existence of Ling Yan's [individuals with the same essence but fundamentally different]?" Anyway, you're really Inuyasha who has seen too much, but I didn't expect to really choose to transform into a half-demon? ”
"I really don't know who I'm trying to do this for?" Putting the dried tea on the small table at hand, he suddenly said with some seriousness: "If you persuade me not to stop your thoughts, then you should go back." ”
"Even if it is transformed into a half-demon, the stone in the heart is not so easy to hide the past."
"Shhhh Are you lying to me if you say you want to accompany me to protect Gensokyo? Ling Yan, you big liar! ”
"Let's not say that I've already complained about what your so-called Gensokyo has become, but the person who appears in front of you now is Mori Jinrinnosuke, not Ling Yan." After speaking, he waved his hand as if he wanted to send off a guest:
"If it's okay, please go back, Bai Yin can't be without her mother."
"Mo! What is your ruthless father! ”
"That's because you had no idea your sacrifice was not worth it!" It seems that I can't stand this coquettish tone for a long time. He suddenly said in an unusually serious voice, "It's not worth it, if you're for this kind of place. ”
Whatever you do, whatever you do, why you think about beautiful and beautiful thoughts - for this land, it is a blasphemy against you!
So! Let's go back! Go back to the main god space! Then go and redeem yourself with him to other worlds to build a true Gensokyo!
Only belong to your ideals, your desires, your fundamental beautiful place! The real Gensokyo!
The former guardian stared at the former shrine maiden, his eyes full of pleading: for him who had already tried the [ending] once. I don't want what I've experienced to happen again.
Now he is no longer a guardian, but a small grocery store manager in the ideal place of the original shrine maidens who have completely deteriorated and decayed.
Therefore, now he has no other feasible way than to persuade the former witch who came in front of him
"-Mo, how much do you hate it here?" After hearing his words, the former shrine maiden asked a little angrily, "I attach great importance to the duties of the shrine maiden, and I am collecting and accepting gifts everywhere." But...... After all, isn't that what Gensokyo is all about? Quiet, peaceful, this is the atmosphere of Gensokyo, this is the ...... I'm a shrine maiden who has to protect a place even if I do my best. ”
A flash of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and the former witch said.
After hearing the words of the former shrine maiden, Rinnosuke did not speak again, but quietly drank tea
However, the shrine maiden who was the speaker just sat on the sidelines, silent.
Guarding this kind of place?????? It's not worth it.
But. I'm already a Mori Kinrinsuke, so I'm no longer qualified to say such things, right?
Even you didn't protect me, and I kept saying that I wanted everyone to redeem themselves back to their own plane! Even in the end, if it was only with the strength of you and Kylor that I could become what I am now, and survive until now!
Not eligible?????? Accuse you, accuse me of everything I want to protect!
"Actually, a long time ago...... I just picked it up after being picked up by Xuanye. I just became a character that can be called a shrine maiden, and after hearing Gen Ye talk about the ideals of my ancestors, I swear like that......"
The look in her eyes was a little complicated, and the former witch began to talk about her own things again:
"The path I hold on to is something that no one wants to walk or persevere, and that's something that only I can do. It's something that only I can achieve. At the same time, only I can understand that after the laughter. Everything I longed for. It's still up to me to protect it! No one can understand. No one can touch it, my loneliness, only I can understand. The duty of guarding, I keep in mind, if I am a sword, then Gensokyo will never be invincible, if I am a shield. then Fantasy Country Paradise. ”
I don't know when, the tea has been drunk.
"After all, I'm risking my life to protect this place...... Although it was also once~Eh, hey~" said, she said as if laughing at herself: "Perhaps, after having a family, daughter, and husband that I couldn't even think of, I also began to become weak~ Really, if I don't get strong, I can't even control being stupid~"
Standing up, the former witch looked around at everything in Xianglin Hall, and then silently looked out of the door: "Are you leaving?" ”
"Hmm."
Gradually, the former shrine maiden walked out the door.
Just at the door, it stopped again.
"I said, Rinnosuke...... Although...... I know that you and Dan are human beings who are at the same time fundamentally different...... But I still hope that you can be like you have been in the past. Like Ling Yan, he has been helping me, all the time- guarding everything I desire, is that okay? ”
“…… Hmmm......"
"Then don't. Rinnosuke ......"
Stepping out of the Korindo, the former shrine maiden flew into the sky and headed straight for the direction of Hakurei Shrine.
No matter how optimistic he is, if he doesn't rush back, the current person will definitely be angry.
"Ah...... Farewell...... Reimu. He muttered in a low voice, though with a self-deprecating smile:
"Sure enough, even if the root nature of human bones becomes a monster, it will not be erased."
"Since Mori Jinlin's suke is not qualified to stop you, then he can only rely on Ling Yan to stop you. Reimu. (To be continued.) )
