In the courtyard, on the cherry blossom trees that bloom all year round, a few magpies fall on the branches and chirp.

Beams of morning light fell on Asukina's body through the gaps in the leaves.

Yakumo squinted his eyes slightly and pillowed his head on Asuina's legs, his black hair spread out, reflecting the dazzling brilliance.

Asukana's eyes were full of confusion, and she held a sandalwood comb in her hand and carefully combed Yakumo's long hair.

Orange Meow, Esther, Kaos, and Mercury Lamp sat on the stone bench in an orderly manner, and the four little ones each held a slightly old thread-bound book, and were shaking their heads and reading.

"The fish pass away in the water, and forget the water, and the bird flies in the wind, but does not know that there is a wind."

"The deceit of people is not in words; Insulted by others, not moved by color. ”

"It is not silk or bamboo, but it is enjoyable, and it is self-fragrant without smoking or tea."

……

The crisp sound of the little girls reading echoed in the courtyard, and Luo Tianyi and Mei Jiu next to them were both burying their heads, sometimes frowning and sometimes delighted, revising the new song of their cooperation.

Not far away, through the mottled carved windows, you can see the figures of Liliana, Iris Origami, and Yakumo Blue preparing everyone's breakfast, and the knight girl is trying to learn how to cook oriental cuisine from Yakumo Blue and Origami.

Athena, in her mature form, sat on the torii gate at the entrance and looked out at the towering mountain of youkai in the distance, where the lonely monkey had run to challenge the Great Tengu.

Under the archway, Xiao Woban was sitting in the center of the formation that Yakumo had built for her, trying to restore her strength.

Icarus was sitting by the cold lake, allowing Nimfu to share the data of her memory center to check the experiences of the past few days.

Recently, the crazy three who have been obsessed with painting bite a brush in their mouths, hold three brushes in their hands at the same time, sit on the gazebo and write and draw on the distant Jianmu, and as a result, they are covered in ink, and their bewitching little face is a mess.

Nayako, who yawned and still had tears in the corners of her eyes, walked out listlessly. In a daze, he collided with Kezi, who had also just gotten up.

"It's getting more and more lively at home......

Asukina burst out laughing.

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and Yakumo opened his slightly closed eyes to meet the delicate cheeks of Tomorrow's peach blossoms.

"Worried about Yui?"

"Yes, Misaka too, and Yuriko, ......"

"Don't worry."

Yakumo closed his eyes again.

"Even if you can't perceive where they are from the other world, Yui still has the identity of Shikigami after all. So I knew she was safe - it seemed that they were in a world with many gods, and the mixed divine aura blocked most of the flow of information, so I couldn't find them for the time being. ”

"But Yuriko is very strong, and there will be no danger with her."

"Hmm."

Tomorrow Nai nodded, she had always had all her trust in Yakumo Mo, but she still had her mother's lingering worry about her daughter going out on her face.

Seeing this, Yakumo sighed.

"I'll go back to them tomorrow, and I've gained a lot lately, and I've been able to orient their world in a general direction, so the chances of finding them are greater than before—at least not like headless flies."

"Okay."

It's still the same gentle tone as ever. Asukina leaned down gently and landed a kiss on Yakumo Mo's forehead.

"Goo-!!"

Nayako's awkward voice sounded on the side.

"Really, dear and exciting!"

Walking up to the two of them, Nayako sat down gently, and Asukina handed the sandalwood comb in her hand to Nayako, who took over Asukina's work.

Skillful and tacit, it is clear that such things have become the norm.

"You're sloppy. Go clean up and clean up. ”

Looking at the messy Naiako, Asuna shook her head helplessly.

Yakumo opened his eyes again. "Stayed up late last night to play games again? Obviously I've been having such crazy fun at the banquet. ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Naiko laughed embarrassedly.

"Stupid youkai!"

The mercury lamp suddenly threw away the book in his hand and flew over, and his small body sat on Yakumo Mo's chest, and he grabbed his robe with both hands and began to pull it up.

"Don't read! I don't read! I can't read those things at all! ”

"Children have to study hard."

Tapping on the mercury lamphead, Yakumo slipped the doll up and set it aside.

"You said you, the first puppet of the dignified Rose Maiden, but you can't even read a book?"

"Stupid! Stupid stupid! I'm a puppet, why do I read books!? I can't eat it! ”

The mercury lamp crawled onto Yakumo again, and fluttered wildly, only to finally burrow into his robe and trap himself.

"Woooooooooooo Can't get out! Stupid youkai hurry up and let me out!! ”

The three little guys on the other side saw the mercury lamp take the lead in going out of tune. also threw away the books in their hands and scattered in a hurry.

"Come back!!"

Yakumo sat up and brought out the mercury lamp, and shouted at the little ones.

A few children who were about to run suddenly shrugged their heads and walked back obediently.

"Go and get the book, don't think about slipping away from the mercury lamp!"

After the four children took the books again and sat in front of them in an arc, Yakumo opened the gap and took out a ring ruler from inside.

Seeing the ring ruler, the four children shrank their heads one after another. Even Kaos is no exception, and Orange Meow is a pair of cat ears that turn around, making a mournful cry of "meow".

"You little guys, you're either a monster, an angel or a puppet, or an elf. Born with strength far beyond ordinary people. ”

"But it is precisely because of this that we need to study hard, get an education, and avoid relying on strength to act recklessly in the future."

"Hey—"

The little ones responded in unison, and Nayako and Asukina couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although he looks like a child, Orange Meow, Mercury Lamp, and Kaos don't say it, Esther is a sword elf with thousands of years of age, but now he is also educated by Yakumo Ink like a real child.

"But these things really can't be read......"

Mercury Lamp lowered his head and muttered quietly.

Yakumo put his hand on the head of the mercury lamp and rubbed it, the little puppet subconsciously squinted his eyes and rubbed it comfortably, and then felt that it was a shame to do so, so he shook off Yakumo's hand and snorted.

Seeing this, Orange Meow, Esther and Kaos also used their 45° Lori star eyes to kill each other, letting Yakumo touch their heads one by one.

- Then the little puppet felt irritated again, and the black wings behind it flapped rapidly.

[It's really a child......]

Looking at such a mercury lamp, Yakumo was reluctant to speak too much.

In this way, the little ones began to study in a proper manner.

"It's time to eat!"

Blue, Liliana, and Origami came out of the kitchen with breakfast and greeted the people in the courtyard.

The black gap opened, and Purple, who always woke up at the meal, yawned.

Today's Gensokyo is still very peaceful. (To be continued......)
