Prologue The Meaning of Gensokyo's existence

In the Forest of Magic, in the world of the world, Hakurei Shrine.

In the center of it is a prop shop called Korindo.

The manager here is a half-demon named Mori Rinnosuke.

Collect some items that have accidentally fallen into Gensokyo and sell them in the shop.

That being said, when Rinnosuke Mori actually sold the item, it was almost nothing.

Because he has the ability to understand the purpose of things, even if he doesn't know how to use them, Mori Kinrinnosuke won't sell them easily.

Perhaps, the purpose of the existence of this prop shop is to store those props that they don't know how to use, and for a simple purpose such as resting.

However, there has been a change in Gensokyo recently......

A-well, how do you say that? Triggered by someone who is sure to cause the mutation, the end result may be an unsolvable mutation.

At least, now countless humans and monsters are already in the midst of this catastrophe, and they can only hide in the corners and tremble......

"Maybe this is the last mutation......" said Rinnosuke Mori as he sipped his tea unhurriedly. It's as if what is happening outside has nothing to do with him.

"It's really laid-back, Xianglin." Sitting opposite Rinnosuke Mori is not the usual Misty Rain Marisa and Hakurei Reimu, but Yakumo Murasaki, who is a youkai sage.

Single-handedly established Gensokyo.,And the youkai sage who has been guarding Gensokyo.。

In the midst of this mutation that threatens to destroy Gensokyo?????? But in the Xianglin Hall, he drank tea leisurely with Mori Jinrinnosuke.

"Aren't you too?" Putting down the teacup, Mori Rinnosuke looked around: "Also, what about the current shrine maiden?" ”

Not being able to spot the thirteenth generation shrine maiden who had appeared every day for the last few days, Rinnosuke Mori frowned.

"From the very beginning, I asked her to guard her seniors to carry out the rituals that [they] should perform, but according to the next speed of the person outside~ Well, I guess I will report to the little girl King Yama soon."

He half-hid his face with a folding fan in his hand. Yakumo Zi said terrifying words calmly: "Although that little cat is a monster, it is also Reimeng's [own flesh and blood], and if it is used as a fourteenth generation witch, it will definitely be very good." ”

"The result...... You're still like this......"

Mori Jinrinnosuke's emotion, that's all: "The game of being killed again is not fun." ”

"You should know better than me about each generation of Hakurei shrine maiden's attachment to Gensokyo, right?"

"--You should say this to the guy who likes to cultivate Xuanye." Pushed his glasses. As if to change the subject, he tilted his head and said, "Taking [Supreme Heaven] and [Reincarnation] as the cornerstones, you have done everything wrong in the beginning. ”

"Oh? It's true? Regarding Rinnosuke's words, Yakumo Zi asked expressionlessly, "Could it be that you had a better way at that time?" ”

"-Even if there were, would you choose to use it if you had already made up the lie of the [Dragon God]?"

As if mocking something, he no longer looked at Yakumo Murasaki, but instead looked in the direction of what might have been Hakurei Shrine:

"Now that we've come to this point, it seems like it's time for the farce to end, right?"

Gensokyo. It has already begun to be destroyed??????

The human world, which could have been called a gathering place for human beings, has been reduced to a ruined ruin, and the smoke of gunpowder is constantly rising......

However, this destruction shows no signs of stopping or disappearing, but is expanding and spreading at an unhurried pace??????

No matter how you explain it, the entire Gensokyo at this time is full of the breath of destruction.

It has long been lost the peaceful and beautiful utopia of the past, and now Gensokyo has begun to change qualitatively.

"It's a pity. The ending that should have ended directly led to a bunch of guys who wanted to meddle. The folding fan that unfolded gently covered Yakumo's face. No one knows the expression hidden behind the folding fan.

"That's right......" Scratching his head, Mori Rinnosuke seemed to remember something.

"That's right...... Obviously, Master Xuan came to tell me about it yesterday, but I forgot about it......"

Mori Kinrinnosuke recalled for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and said, "It probably means that he seems to be unable to help but make a move this time?" Tut. I feel like I'd better pack up and run away now, this situation is completely dead. After saying that, he had already stood up and began to sort out his [salute] that he didn't know how to describe.

"Do you think you can run away?" Looking at Rinnosuke, who was already about to leave, Yakumo Zi complained expressionlessly.

"You have to work this kind of thing, even at the end, don't you?" While packing those things that he didn't know how to describe at all, he replied to Yakumo Murasaki. "At least, if you have tried, even if you fail, no one will complain or anything."

Hearing his words, Yakumo couldn't help laughing: "You know what? Xianglin, the reason why they were able to send them to death one after another was because they believed in one thing. ”

“……”

"They believe in that person's ideals, and they also believe that the true Gensokyo will definitely come."

“……”

"Xianglin, do you understand that emotion?"

“……”

"The emotional ...... of believing in a person that you can even die for him"

Yakumo Zi closed his eyes: "If it weren't for the guardian of the Great Enchantment, I wouldn't be drinking tea here leisurely at this moment." ”

Gently speaking, it is also the same determination.

"Tsk, if you say this to that guy, she will cut you more directly and take the shrine maiden away to save Gensokyo."

"Hey, don't say that people are going to be killed, okay?"

"Isn't it?" Faced with Yakumo Zi's suspicion of being a girlish seller, Rinnosuke calmly pushed his glasses and said: "As a character who has always been the mastermind behind the scenes, whether it is in the popular online novel, or in the outside world for five cents a book called [Story Club], you are the worst kind that must die~"

"Huh? I'm so pitiful. ”

"So—"

"-You're really laid-back." Looking at the [Historian of Gensokyo] who was still not the slightest scared in the face of him at this time, but was still recording his own work, Ling Yan suddenly had quite admiration in his heart.

Although I knew that she was also a very old monster in a certain sense, I didn't feel uncomfortable looking at his appearance that had been completely rendered by the enemy's blood at this time?????? Sure enough, he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves.

- But it's nice to be able to drink tea or something after killing so many of you.

Raising the teacup, Ling Yan sighed in his heart about his luck, and - what should be the ending for the recorder in front of him?

"I'm working right now, so please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." After she heard Ling Yan's words, she said as if she was facing her own guests, she didn't feel like she was facing an enemy who was about to kill her, and of course, the record in her hand still didn't stop.

However, looking at her appearance, Ling Yan asked with some curiosity, "What are you so diligent in recording these for?" Is it really just for that so-called responsibility? ”

"Of course, that's the main thing," after hearing this question, she finally stopped the brush in her hand that kept writing something, raised her head and said seriously: Of course, this is also the same as Gensokyo's existence for me. ”

"What is the meaning of Gensokyo's existence?"

"That's right." Returning to writing and starting her work, she lowered her head again and said, "Even if you don't need any records, everyone who lives here has the question of what Gensokyo means to exist in their hearts, and there is also an answer to this question. ”

"Everyone looks at Gensokyo differently, and the answers to questions are different." She said, "This kind of thing, although it has nothing to do with the record, is something that every resident will take the initiative to tell anyone in the conversation. ”

"I see, I'm really taught."

"So, may I ask Mr. a question?" She stopped the pen in her hand again, closed the booklet she was writing, raised her head and asked Ling Yan:

"For Mr., what is the meaning of Gensokyo's existence? What do you think of Gensokyo now? ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In other words, the Sylvian sect has become more and more terrifying recently, and even boys have gone to play COS, what's wrong with the people now? Is it me outdated or is the world already crazy? idol

Anyway, I really don't like a style of painting.,Compared to the one I'd rather play witch otome brainwashing and training~.

Also, I'll take the advice that the friend in the book review section said, but it's time to wait, at least there's not much time now, and I feel like the world I'm writing about isn't so unpopular, right? Why don't so many people know what it is?

Damn, who would have thought that after just coming home, I would be even busier than I am now, is this playing with me?

Originally, I said that I would revisit the results of tattoos and chronicles, and now I feel that it has been completely yellowed? It's the kind of plot that I'm going to have now

After sending the girl away, I began to go crazy to my heart's content~ This is the main line of this circle~ (fog) (To be continued.) )
