Hakurei Shrine.

Hiding in the warm kotatsu, the girls either drink (watermelon) or read books (Mu Q), but of course, more often gather around and watch the screen displayed on the table.

Because it was too warm in the shrine, the comfortable environment in the kotatsu made Yui start to sleepy. The little girl fell into Yakumo's arms in a daze, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Holding his daughter and placing a barrier of demonic power next to her ear to block the sound, Yakumo Mo looked at Suixiang, who was gulping down wine.

"Watermelon, do you know that spider monster just now?"

Although at first she expressed her dissatisfaction with Yakumo calling herself a watermelon, after a long time, Cuixiang seemed to accept this title.

Hearing this, the Lori Heavenly King of the Ghost Clan--I always felt that there was something wrong with this title, was it an illusion--I drank the wine in one gulp, smashed the bowl on the table, squinted my eyes while pouring the wine, and shook my head and said: "It seems to be called the Black Valley Mountain Maiden, an earth spider monster who inhabits a wind cave at the foot of the Monster Mountain." ”

"It's really a spider......

Luo Tianyi and Xia Yin glanced at each other, thinking back to the appearance of the Black Valley Mountain Girl they had just seen, it was difficult for the two of them to associate the girl with the spider.

"The appearance of the yokai is often different from the main body."

Patchouli, who was reading with her head down, said without raising her head.

Suika continued, "It seems that she has the ability to manipulate diseases, so she is not very liked. But it's actually a cheerful and interesting spider.,It's very popular among the underground monsters.。 ”

"We often ask that guy to help build the building, he's a youkai who is very good at civil engineering!" Kawajo said with a teasing grin.

"It's a spider after all......"

The palm of his hand caressed Yui's pink little face, and Yakumo Mo looked at the screen.

"Looks like I'm out of the wind hole."

◇

Ground floor.

Reimu's group, who walked out of the wind cave, looked at the blonde girl with green eyes standing on the bridge and blocking their way.

"Humans? What do humans do when they go to the old capital? ”

The blonde girl asked.

Natsuki looked at Reimu and Marisa who didn't seem to know this girl, and immediately asked through the guò communicator, "Yakumo, what now?" ”

"Ahh It's Palothy! ”

However, it came from the other end of the communicator. But it's the voice of the incense.

"Mizuhashi Parusi, it's a jealous youkai. It's a guardian saint who guards the connection between the ground and the underground.,Responsible for watching over others to be able to come and go safely.,It's just a monster with a very jealous personality.,It should be said.,As long as people still have this jealousy in their hearts.。 Palocy's strength won't fail, right...... Belch...... Hiccup......"

"Incense! How much wine have you stolen from me! You can feel the smell of your wine through the communicator, okay? ”

Reimu snorted dissatisfied.

"Yakumo will pay anyway, what's the matter......"

"But it's a hassle to buy it when the wine is drunk!"

This time, Yakumo's voice came from the communicator: "Hongbai, you just don't have to be lazy to death, so that I don't have to be blackmailed by you and Cuixiang anymore." ”

"I'm so sorry, if that's the case, I'll live a long life!"

At this time-

As if annoyed by Reimu's ignorance, Palusi suddenly attacked.

"O envious humans on earth! I don't have a grudge against you, but I can figure out how many reasons I want to kill you! ”

◇

I said. This one named Palucy can't be (9), right? Won't you estimate the shape of both sides? ”

Looking at the screen that took the initiative to attack.,And then met the barrage jointly launched by the girls and the chains of that month.,As a result, Palocy.,Yakumo is full of black lines.。

"Maybe she should have some wine?"

Shaking it, the wine-scented breath exhaled by Suika made Yakumo frown again and again.

"But then again, Yakumo, I didn't expect that the barrage of your maid was quite powerful!"

In the battle just now—perhaps it should be called a one-sided crush—one side of the passage and the bee-eater also used their spell cards to launch a barrage.

This made Yakumo surprised for a while, he didn't know that Fang Tong actually secretly made a spell card for himself.

Suddenly, Yakumo seemed to understand why the party, who had never been interested in anything, would take the initiative to enter the underground to participate in the investigation this time.

She's going to experiment with her spell cards. It's like a bee-eating exercise.

"Hey, my roses are so much better than that."

Sit at the table. The mercury lamp holding the yogurt bottle snorted like a child.

Xia Yin was beaten by the cute killing attack of the little puppet and threw away her armor, and couldn't help the impulse in her heart to hold the little puppet in her arms.

"Yikes! What are you impudent humans doing! ”

Although the mercury lamp was struggling, it didn't really exert itself - otherwise, with Xia Yin's current ordinary human body, it would be impossible to hold the little doll.

"Are you called a mercury lamp? So cute to say......"

The girl's affinity made the chairman fall into silence strangely, and then lowered his head and drank the yogurt.

"Drink less, lately you can smell the drum yogurt as soon as you get close to me. I don't understand how a puppet like this. ”

Then a black dragon wave struck.

Yakumo, who finished complaining, unexpectedly harvested a head of crow feathers.

◇

After passing through the bridge where Parusi is located, Reimu and the others enter the city of the Old Hell.

Desolate and dilapidated.

This is the first impression of the old hell.

"Such a ghost place, watermelon, haven't you ghost clan considered moving back to the ground?"

"No—"

Without hesitation, Suika rejected Yakumo Mo's offer.

"-The reason why he went to the old hell in the first place. It's all about balance. If the ghost clan returns to the ground, it will break the current peace, after all, the ghost clan is too belligerent. ”

"And your sister will never agree to it."

"Actually, for the ghost clan, a chaotic place like the old hell is more suitable for them!"

Wen Wen was looking at the screen while recording the next press release in his notebook, and at the same time added.

"There are no rules to speak in that place, and what the strong say is the law. And we also need to rely on the Oni Clan to suppress the lawless and powerful youkai of the Old Hell. ”

"Wenwen also knows?" Ya Yunmo looked at Wenwen.

"Of course!"

Crow Tengu has a pen in his mouth and half-closed eyes, how playful.

"When the ghost clan moved back then, I reported the whole process! The lawless youkai have been driven to the Old Hell by your sister Youkai Sage and the rest of the powerhouses, and the Oni have moved in to watch over them. Later, the appearance of the Great Enchantment of Borei! ”

"That must have been hundreds of years ago, not to mention me at that time, even Remy was not born yet."

Pache had been reading the book and interjected again.

"Sister Mu Q is also over a hundred years old, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Pachouli raised her head and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose to look at Yakumo Mo, "This age is nothing compared to those living monsters, let alone that terrible doctor in the Eternal Pavilion." ”

"No, I just want to sigh, I'm really young!"

Yakumo shook his head.

"It's a good feeling to be sixteen forever......"

And then—

It's cold......

Everyone: "Staring at ......"

Yayunmo lowered his head, drank tea, his face did not change color, and his heart did not beat.

"If there is a sister, there must be a brother." Patchouli lowered her head again and began to read, "Age is not long, and the skin is long. ”

"It's a matter of mentality, if I keep this mentality, I will be sixteen years old in a few hundred years!"

Regarding Pacouli's complaints, Yakumo didn't care.

Immortality inevitably requires maintaining an ageless heart.

Otherwise, the long years are enough to turn any strong person into a madman.

"I always feel that the existence of zài itself can represent history......"

Xia Yin listened to a group of people discussing things that had been going on for hundreds of years at every turn, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Luo Tianyi nodded when he heard this, "Yes!" (To be continued......)
