Gensokyo.

Lost House, in the courtyard, under the cherry blossom trees.

"Ahh

Gracefully opening the folding fan and sitting on the moon-white velvet blanket laid out in advance, Purple smiled as she looked at the picture presented in the open gap in front of her.

Under the purple robe and the long white skirt, the white jade-like legs were exposed.

Crystalline toes curled up like pearls are enough to drive any foot control in this world crazy.

"You're still as bored as ever, just peeping at Xiao Yakumo's real husband?"

At some point, Suika, who appeared on the cherry blossom tree behind Purple, took a sip of the liquor in the wine gourd, and then turned her head to look at Purple below.

"This is the care that an older sister cares about her younger brother, can Cui Xiang understand it?"

"Excuse me, when I think that if someone peeps at me all the time, even the nature of drinking will be gone!"

Suika shuddered.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you go to the Hakurei Shrine today, but instead came here to us?"

After the incident of the Son of Heaven, Suika almost always lived at the Hakurei Shrine.

"Ah, Reimu's wine is gone."

Cui Xiang, who didn't feel the slightest guilt about drinking all the red and white wine without permission, said nonchalantly.

"Speaking of which, the 'industrial alcohol' that Yakumo gave me last time tastes pretty good, do you still have it here?"

Smacking her lips, she seemed to be reminiscing about the taste of industrial alcohol.

"After drinking that, I feel like these wines are tasteless!"

Remembering the situation when Suika almost demolished the shrine after drinking an entire bottle of industrial alcohol in one go, Murasaki decisively decided to pretend that she hadn't heard anything.

"Pursaki-sama, the orange juice you want......"

Lan walked over with a glass of orange juice and handed the orange juice to Purple, and Blue looked at Cuixiang above.

"Mistress Suika. What do you want to do? We don't have wine, but we have fresh watermelon juice, would you like it? ”

"Poof!!"

took a sip of the wine in his mouth, and his face was strange, and he rejected Lan's mention.

"That's a shame......"

With a little regret, Lan shook his head and stepped aside to start the work he had been doing recently-

Brush up the hair that has fallen out, process it and weave it into a variety of fox velvet products.

Bai on the side was immediately frightened when he saw such a strange scene, and ran away with the orange meow in the corner with a bad expression.

"Is it a delusion......

Purple sighed in a low voice.

“…… I always feel like I've been weird lately. Could it be that the time for the (divine beast) love has arrived? ”

◇

Looking at Yakumo Mo, who was standing in front of him, Origami gritted his teeth and tried to attack again.

And then it was blocked back by Yakumo lightly.

"The enemy who killed his father and mother?"

Yakumo looked at the piano behind him.

At this time, the girl's face was pale, her lips trembled, and her body was shaky, as if she would fall from the sky at any moment.

"How did you know for sure?"

"...... five years ago"

With a dark face, the origami slowly spoke.

"That fire in Tiangong City, Efreet...... Have you forgotten!? ”

Five years ago? Blaze?

Hearing the words of origami, Koto's face turned even paler.

Binocular eyes、Completely out of focus。

[Huh? Is there such a thing?]

I saw this in the koto. Yakumo and Asukina frowned.

If that's the case, it's going to be a tough one.

If Kotori is really the murderer of Origami's parents - even if it is unintentional - Yakumo and Assuna have no reason to stop Origami's revenge.

But before the matter is finalized-

"Wait a minute, did you see Kotori kill your parents five years ago?"

Origami was silent, then shook her head.

Seeing this, Yakumo immediately said, "In that case, how about stopping the fight first?" Wait until the current situation is dealt with, and then carefully investigate what happened five years ago. You know, Shi Daojun hasn't recovered yet. ”

Shidao!

Hear the name of Shido. Origami and Kori came back to their senses.

"That's right, Shidao...... Shidao ......"

Qinli was first blocked by origami, and then swallowed up his reason by the destroyed **, and then fell into despair because of the words of origami, and only now did he realize that the fundamental purpose of his coming here was Shidao.

And origami, when I saw the elven piano, I was instantly charged with hatred. Began to attack Kotori like crazy. At this time, I remembered that she originally came here after Shidao.

Seeing that the girls really stopped because of Shidao, Yakumo Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Yakumo Mo found that on the ground. Kurumi and Miku also rushed over here.

Yakumo Mo, who noticed this, immediately turned his gaze to the crash site in the distance.

There, the wreckage of the transport plane still burns with flames.

Surrounded by magicians who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries - including the magician Shina Takanomiya, who had been sent by Ailian.

"Let's go first......"

After saying this, Yakumo was about to leave with everyone-

"Huh!? Who's there! Come out!!! ”

Without warning, Yakumo raised his parasol and fired a magic cannon at the empty place next to him.

"Boom-!!!"

"That's-!?"

In the flash of the explosion, Yakumo noticed that something seemed to be disappearing in a flash.

"Want to escape?"

Stretching out his hand, facing that direction, the obscure demonic power fluctuations spread rapidly around Yakumo Mo.

Then, in the sky, a blurred "mosaic" appeared.

It was a figure, but he couldn't see the face clearly.

"This is...... Phantom!? ”

Jean whispered.

"Strange ......"

Looking at the Phantom in front of him, Yakumo frowned tightly.

[It's so familiar, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, in that case-]

An afterimage swept through his body, and Yakumo instantly appeared in front of Phantom.

Then, with five fingers in his claws, he grabbed Phantom in front of him.

It's just that Yakumo's hand pierced Phantom's body as if it hadn't touched anything.

Then the Phantom dissipated like a real phantom.

It's just that Yakumo smiled.

【Success】

At that moment, Yakumo Mo secretly planted a mark on Phantom's body.

Next, just wait for Phantom to reappear in front of you - or see what people you know will avoid you in the future.

◇

"Whew...... Whew......"

Somewhere in a no-man's corner.

Holding on to the corner, no longer like a mosaic, Phantom, whose real figure appeared, leaned against the wall, gasping for air.

"Trouble ......"

With a wry smile and feeling the extra inside of him, Phantom tried to expel it.

Then, she failed.

“…… It's true, realm monster, sure enough, I was careless......"

Looking up at the setting sun, Phantom sighed faintly.

"Could it be that the truth is about to be exposed......" (to be continued......
