Compared to the predicament of Ling Yan's food being looted, the witch at this time also frowned at the childlike existence in front of her:

"I said—"

"Huh~?"

"Sure enough, shouldn't all those memories be left to you in the first place?" Looking at a hand that had been fused for a few days and had also been fused in, the former witch showed a terrible expression and said, "Hurry up and fuse the old lady into it!" Don't sell me moe there! ”

"Don't~" As if she was not afraid of the terrible expression that even Ling Yan was afraid of, the blonde natural girl showed a lovely smile: "Anyway, you can't stop the occasion~ Even if you want to drag Ling Yan over, beat up the monster in the gap, and then take you away~"

For her, the situation at this time is the best direction anyway.

That's why she was unexpectedly happy at this time, looking at herself in front of her and embarrassed - of course, it would be better if she could turn into giving up.

"Meow ha!" Suddenly, she showed a cute smile that was completely carried away and laughed loudly: "Give up!" This game is an even win - hiccup! ”

But rightfully biting her tongue - but that didn't change her victorious stance!

"Woo woo-" spit out the bitten tongue and made a voice similar to a victory declaration in a crying voice: "Even you won't admit defeat!" Even if there is a sorrow of the blade frost in the family! Ling Yan, that idiot, if he doesn't come! Cut him with that! ”

- No, I don't know where your house is, but I can guarantee that you don't have anything like that!

Faced with the existence in front of her at this time, which can be said to be her own, the former witch sighed helplessly, she didn't know at all - is she so cute?

But if she was really like this in the past, then why don't you just forget that memory?

She didn't want her image as a mother and a strong wife to be lost like that??????

- Well, I'm still a little relieved?????? That stupid guy behaves and thinks?

She didn't have a hand now, but she was still thinking. What happened to Ling Yan now??????

After all, she had no way of knowing what Ling Yan was thinking at this time, especially the way that guy seemed to be angry now??????

"Well, it's good to have a sacrifice to look at him anyway, and I'll give it anyway." Thinking of her actions, the former shrine maiden couldn't help but mutter.

"Why do you look sad? Are things not going well? "That's at this time. The former shrine maiden suddenly heard a girl's voice from above, and looked up, only to see Yakumo Purple sitting in her gap, holding a folding fan in her right hand, and holding a large wine bowl in her right hand and smiling maliciously at herself.

"Oh! It's a stinking monster in the gap! Before Reimu could reply, the bound blonde girl immediately scolded her in an angry childlike tone, "Your good days are coming to an end!" The puppet fool is coming soon! He's going to beat you to death! ”

"Oh? Then I'm really scared. Faced with the girl's threat, the youkai sage smiled and blinked as if he were cooperating with his own words.

"Do you have time to hang out with the kids?" The former shrine maiden asked her.

"Well, Xianglin and your juniors are in the way. I don't need to play that fast just yet. In a flash, Yakumo Zi had already come to the side of the former witch, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Is it still about him?" Or do you regret it? ”

"-How is that possible?" The girl was silent for a while, and then looked at the blonde girl, "I'm not going to lose to this kind of natural fool." ”

"Well, it's already like this anyway, let's have a drink with me and eat by the way." Yakumo took out a wine glass and some appetizers from the gap, and placed a wine bowl with half a bowl of wine inside. It was handed to the girl.

"--Come to think of it, we haven't drunk it in a long time." He stretched out his remaining right hand. The former shrine maiden picked up the bowl and said.

"Even if you want it!" As if forgetting her position, looking at the appetizers and drinks that were put out, the blonde girl immediately opened her mouth like a child and said, "If only I had some food for the puppet!" Even if you ask a fool to beat you up! ”

"Ahh Faced with this child-like appearance, Yakumo Zi shook his head with a smile: "Okay." ”

Soon, a small gap appeared, and an arm made of energy appeared in front of the girl. Feed her the drinks and snacks constantly.

"Ahh

"There's really no sense of oppression." Looking at the blonde girl's appearance at this time, Reimu sighed like a mother.

"It's like mother and daughter, you guys." Suddenly, Yakumo Zi couldn't help but say.

"--Say whatever you want." Reimu sighed helplessly. In the face of such troublesome things now, she is too lazy to continue to complain about anything.

However, at this time, Yakumo Purple once again opened another gap, but the difference between all the gaps just now is that this gap presents the appearance of the current Gensokyo.

At this time, Gensokyo can't see the feeling of beauty and happiness at all, but just purely presents the feeling of dilapidation and bleakness?

Could this really be Ling Yan doing it alone? No, it's more like something that has been suppressed for a long time leaking out.

"--I said that I won't run away, what do you mean by showing me this now?" In the face of Yakumo Purple's behavior, the former witch couldn't help but let out a displeased voice.

"It's just a matter of feeling what will happen to our efforts in the end." Yakumo Zi looked straight ahead, looking at the picture in the gap, the happy smile on his face gradually faded, and there was only a faint chuckle as if he was remembering, as if talking to himself.

"You remember, right? At first, Gensokyo was just a small area hidden deep in the mountains as a village far away from humans, but with the development of human technology, humans are no longer afraid of night and youkai, and youkai have lost the faith necessary for survival, so this Gensokyo was born. In this era when mankind has forgotten the horror of demons and monsters, this is the only place that is a sacred place for monsters......"

After hearing Yakumo's words. The former shrine maiden was silent??????

That's right, compared to her ideal that is completely called fantasy, Yakumo Murasaki's ideal is easier to achieve, but it was that easier ideal that gave rise to the current Gensokyo.

Ignoring the shrine maiden's silence, Yakumo continued, "The current shrine maiden is a very competent shrine maiden, although she is usually lazy. But her ability is really very good, and when it comes to the critical time, she will work hard for Gensokyo. Ever since she took the place of the previous generation of dead shrine maidens to protect Gensokyo, Gensokyo has been safe, but some things are useless no matter how good their abilities are, and they will still come when the time comes. ”

"Isn't that the price I should pay? What's the use of talking about that now? ”

"Yes, after all, if there is no limit to the human race that surpasses all youkai, [anyone] will be unhappy." The corners of Yakumo's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "Isn't it?" The life of human beings is only a few decades, and even those who live longer are only more than a hundred years at most. Although this Gensokyo can slow down the aging of people, as long as they are still humans, after a hundred years and two hundred years, one day they will usher in death, no matter how powerful the force is, they can't stop it, and you know what? Because of our actions, as long as you are a Hakurei shrine maiden, your descendants will never live long, and sixty years is a limit. None of Gensokyo's shrine maidens lived past the age of sixty. ”

After hearing Yakumo's words, the former shrine maiden lowered her head. But he asked, "How many generations of shrine maidens is that child now?" ”

Yakumo Zi didn't hide it, and blurted out: "The thirteenth generation, twelve generations have passed." ”

"......" After hearing Yakumo's words, the girl continued to be silent.

Gensokyo's construction of the Hakurei Great Enchantment has been more than 500 years now, and there are twelve generations of Hakurei shrine maidens. In other words, how many generations of shrine maidens did not even live to be sixty years old? Sixty years old may not be a short life for ordinary humans, but in this Gensokyo, compared to those youkai who live for thousands of years or more, it is simply a flash in the pan. And not all shrine maidens live to be sixty years old.

It's like some flowers that only live for one day, and although for the flowers themselves, their day is a long life, but for humans who are obsessed with the beauty of the flower, a day is very short. From sunrise to sunset, it was fleeting, and I couldn't accurately grasp when the flower would pass away, so I was in a state of panic.

"The longer the Great Barrier is established, the shorter the lifespan of the Hakurei shrine maiden......" Yakumo Murasaki suddenly sighed, looked up into the distance and said again, "Take the ancestor shrine maiden, she died before she even lived to be thirty years old, and when she passed away, she was no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, I can still remember what she said to me before she died." ”

"What?" The girl asked suddenly.

Hearing the girl's question, Yakumo Purple seemed to imitate the tone of the ancestor and said, "Well, that child must be able to protect Gensokyo instead of me...... After saying this, she left with a smile. ”

The girl was slightly stunned and asked again, "That's why you gave that child the same name as mine." ”

Yakumo Zi nodded: "She is an outcast, and the ancestors will be cultivated as the next generation of witches after picking her up, in fact, I was a little against it at the time, although that child was born with strong spiritual power, and has a strong fighting instinct, but it is too far behind any generation of witches before her, and I can see from the first glance that her character is not suitable for being a Hakurei witch." ”

"So, are you still satisfied with the current Reimu?" The former shrine maiden asked again.

"What do you say?" Yakumo Zi didn't answer the rhetorical question, it was obvious that the expression on her face should be satisfied, "I won't let the shrine maiden leave Gensokyo no matter what, no one can do it!" ”

It seemed to be her self-determination, but it was more like it was for a girl.

Then, without waiting for the former witch to speak, Yakumo sighed again, "But that child is only a human after all, and sooner or later he will usher in the day of death, and this is the only thing I can't stop." ”

"Then I'll stop it." The former shrine maiden raised her head, smiled gently, and said, "What you're saying now is nothing more than to tell me that if I really quit now when he comes, then everything will be over, right?" ”

"Who knows~" fanned the fan, and the monster idler showed a signature leisurely expression: "If you want to run." Not to mention that I can't stop it - at least, I certainly won't be sitting here. ”

She said leisurely, and the whole person walked into another gap and said, "I'm going to help you get some time to come over?" ”

"I have to admit that the credibility of that sudden declaration of hostility is very low," she said in a tone of embarrassment for the first time, "Willing to help, by the way, don't treat this incident as a spell card game or something." That's a lot. ”

After saying that, he completely disappeared into this space.

"-Thank you." Looking at the direction in which the monster idler left, the former witch whispered, "At least, it's time for you to rest this time, Ah Zi ??????"

"Hmph, I'll be smart!" Compared to Reimu's appearance, the blonde girl showed an angry pouting expression: "Do you think this can solve everything?" Hmph, the number of mouth cannon segments is not good. ”

Looking at the girl who was about to merge together, or become a person again, Reimu smiled: Maybe this girl. It's the weakness in her heart, right? I don't want to throw away my hard-won happiness or something??????

But??????

――Sure enough, my heart is still too chaotic right now?

Thinking of her current state of mind, she couldn't help but pray that the god she once served could come over a little more slowly??????

meanwhile

Yakumo Purple suddenly appeared in the air at a height of thousands of meters, and while drinking wine, she looked at the entire Gensokyo, whether it was the dilapidated atmosphere below or the distant scenery, all reflected in her eyes.

And even -- the red figure walking leisurely??????

She smiled slyly. Drinking the wine in the bowl.

More than 500 years ago, everything in Gensokyo was in her heart.

Look at it. Yakumo suddenly closed her eyes, and the first scene appeared in her memory......

"Did you know it would end like this?" It was just when the Hakurei Great Barrier had just been completed, and Yakumo was sitting by the fire, the sky was drizzling, and her golden hair was covering her eyes, but it couldn't hide the sadness on her face.

"Hey, hey. Because that's all we can do now, isn't it? The former shrine maiden who sat with her flickered in the firelight, reflecting her beautiful and gentle face.

"If you want to disappear one, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to destroy me, a monster, by the way?"

"Because...... You're smarter than I am. She said in a reasonable tone, "Look at me, I'm stupid, and I'm often deceived by people, so if I take care of that, maybe I'll be deceived by him without even a bone." "You're different, you're also a monster sage, aren't you? And you love this land more than I do, and I can see every one of your fiery and lonely dreams. ”

"Actually, I can't understand why you're so cheerful at this time."

"Because, I'm part of the good, right? Although I can't understand it myself~" She said that she couldn't even understand the lines, and then put away her cute smile and showed a serious expression: "So don't be pessimistic, I can also take this opportunity to find what I've been looking forward to!" By the time I get back, maybe I'll be back with someone who can do everything for me! Don't let him know all this until then......" After saying this, the young and beautiful shrine maiden had already turned into a little spark and disappeared in front of Yakumo Murasaki.

No one knows how much the girl named Hakurei Reimu paid for this Gensokyo, and how much the youkai sage named Yakumo Murasaki paid, even if it is a bad story, one thing is certain: for Gensokyo, a life must disappear between Yakumo Murasaki and the former shrine maiden.

For a shrine maiden who has disappeared for more than five hundred years, no matter how familiar the face once was, it will become blurred with the passage of time, and that is something that no force can stop, but ...... Only that sentence has always remained in Yakumo Zi's heart.

"As for me, I want to see everyone happy together at all times."

Opening his eyes from the memory, I don't know when, Yakumo Zi's eyes already had a little bit of crystal tears, but there was a faint sad smile like nostalgia on his face, he picked up the wine glass, spilled the wine inside into the land, looked up at the sky, and reflected all the scenery into his dream.

"Ah, now you are so naïve even if you have false memories, and I believe everything by what I said, and you used to be ...... Actually, it's so easy to deceive~"

She said this, and finally looked at the red figure and whispered:

"But you don't know that no matter what you do, there will always be people who can't be happy—"

"It's a fact that can't be changed."
