"Reimu! Marisa! ”

Reimu and Marisa, who left the Castle and flew towards the Lost House, were suddenly stopped by someone as they passed over the Humansato.

"Teacher Huiyin?"

Stopping in front of the two was a girl with long silver shawl hair and a long blue dress.

The girl who was full of intellectuality had a bit of solemnity on her face at this time.

It is none other than Kamihakuzawa Huiyin.

"Huh? Teacher Huiyin, what are you going to do? Don't you have to go to the kids today? ”

"It's a bee eater in class right now, and she's very popular with the kids."

Kamibai Ze Huiyin stood in front of the two Reimeng, arranging her long hair that was blown by the wind, and then said:

"Reimu, there's something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter? Could it be that some monsters have escaped into the midst of people to make trouble? ”

Reimu looked at Kamihiro Ze Huiyin in surprise.

If in the past, there were occasional monsters that broke into people, but now this kind of thing is almost extinct.

After all, there is now a demon god who has migrated from the Forbidden World - Chimera.

Although she looks like a pink, cute, harmless little Lori, but the strength of the demon god is there, except for the big monster, Gensokyo can hardly find anyone who can suppress her.

"If it's really a youkai, maybe it's better......"

Kamibai Ze Huiyin frowned in annoyance.

“…… Last night, many people in the world didn't know who had invaded them. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Reimu and Marisa looked at each other, unclear.

"Is anyone hurt?"

"It's not like that, but it's weird, we don't even know if it's a human or a youkai or some other race, and we don't have anything to lose......

"Isn't that all right?" Reimu pouted, "I'm busy." Don't be a trifle like this—"

"If Reimu helps you find the intruder, I'll be rewarded heavily!"

"—Leave this little thing to me!"

Reimu immediately patted her chest with a righteous face.

"Maintaining law and order in Gensokyo is my responsibility as a city manager - no, it's my responsibility as a witch!"

Marisa, who was riding on the broomstick, sighed, her face full of helplessness: "It's still the same, I don't know where to start complaining." ”

However, Reimeng's current mind is obviously on the "heavy reward" mentioned by Huiyin Shiraku.

Since the red and white shrine maiden has taken over this commission. On the spot, he began to ask for clues: "So, Huiyin, did you find anything?" ”

"If you want to talk about what you found...... There is only one thing, the invaders are definitely not Gensokyo. ”

"Huh?"

"The residual aura at the scene is similar to the deep-sea habitat ship we encountered when we went to sea last time."

"Could it be that Northern Qiji?" Reimu sighed, "It seems that I really have to ask Yakumo how that guy taught his daughter." ”

"Then, I'll leave the matter to you, and I'll go back to prepare for class."

After Kamibai Zehuiyin finished speaking, he flew away.

体を曲げてふと振り返り

砕けた月を仰ぎ見る

欠片を拾い集めれど

戻らぬ息の風よ

Under the cherry blossom trees that bloom all year round, the sky is lightly raised. Ten fingers fluttered, playing with the yaoqin placed horizontally in front of him.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano is the ethereal lark-like song.

On the other side, Miku knelt on the moon-white velvet blanket with her knees together, her green fingertips gently inserted into Yakumo's hair lying on her lap.

Kurumi sat by the lake, took off his shoes and socks, his delicate bare feet paddling the lake, and his head with a pair of ponytails swayed gently with Tianyi's singing.

White nest in the arms of Kurumi. His eyes narrowed comfortably from being gently scratched by the time elf's chin, and his nine furry tails swept from time to time.

Katsuko pulled Naiko along with origami and the seven sins. A game of poker was played in the pavilion.

Lan and Yuriko Ichibana sat not far away, studying tonight's recipe.

A cold touch suddenly came from his forehead, and Yakumo trembled his slender eyelashes and opened his slightly closed eyes.

In the sky, snow began to fall.

"The five elements rotate, Shui Wang, Mu Xiang, Jin Xiu, Earth Prisoner, and Fire Death."

"The water flows but does not flow. Kan is in the middle of the flames. Before you know it, it's winter. ”

"So what?"

Miku laughed softly, and the ten fingers inserted between Yakumo's hair gently rubbed his head, and the feeling of being too comfortable made Yakumo feel sleepy for a while.

"Is Darling ready to hibernate?"

"Well, now isn't the time to live that life......"

Glancing at the towering trees that could be seen clearly even in the House of the Lost, towering into the sky in the distance.

If you want to live like that, you don't have to think about anything. The days when you don't have to think about anything, at least until the entire Gensokyo becomes an independent realm.

Raising his right hand, Yakumo watched as the snowflakes that fell on his fingertips slowly melted, and the moist and cold feeling dispelled the sleepiness.

Miku leaned down and hugged Yakumo and gently pressed her soft boobs against his face.

"That's nice...... Days like this. ”

Although it felt comfortable to be pressed against Miku's chest on her face, Yakumo Mo still gently patted the girl's thin shoulder and motioned for her to let go.

"Speaking of which, Tianyi's piano skills have made great progress."

"Huh? It's not Darling eccentricity yet. ”

"It's because you're not studying hard, right?"

"People are very worried about that type of instrument!"

Miku pursed her lips, it should be said that she was not good at all instruments.

It's really a girl who is good for nothing other than singing.

But—

Looking down at Yakumo lying on her lap, Miku tilted her head and laughed.

[Even so, Darling won't hate me]

In the sky, two black dots suddenly appeared.

The black dot quickly enlarged, and it was Reimu and Marisa who were flying.

"Huh? How did these two guys get here today? ”

Straightening up from Miku's legs, Yakumo nodded at Lan who was looking at her.

Lan got up knowingly and went to prepare refreshments.

When Lan set up the refreshments, the two Reimu finally flew here.

"You're really laid-back."

Reimu walked up to Yakumo's side, sat down unceremoniously, and after taking a piece of dim sum and putting it aside and eating it, he snorted with a little envy.

Marisa's gaze was completely drawn to the pearls of the night hanging from the pine forest on the cold lake.

"If you have nothing to do, you two have time to come to my side today?"

Yakumo lazily leaned against the trunk of the tree behind him and asked with a chuckle.

"Isn't that a good thing you did?"

Reimu glared at Yakumo fiercely, and then stretched out his hands at her.

"Do what?"

"Lose money!"

“…… I don't remember when I owe you money again? Or are you insanely poor? ”

Watching Reimu gulp down the dim sum carefully made by Blue and Yuriko Ichiba, Yakumo Mo had a feeling of being overwhelmed.

"Your daughter stole my money."

Yakumo frowned.

"You can't talk nonsense, when did you ever pay money?"

"Humph!"

slapped his palm on the low table, almost knocking over the black tea on it, Lingmeng snorted and said, "You care about me, just lose money anyway." ”

"What about the evidence? Yui is a bit naughty, but she's a good boy. ”

"It's not Yui, it's the little north."

“……？”

Yakumo was silent.

Marisa on the side grinned and said, "Let me explain, this way, that way, balabala...... All in all, that's how it happened! ”

"So, you suspect Northern Sauce and Xiaoxing?"

Reimu and Marisa nodded.

Standing up, Yakumo stretched.

"Well, as much as I trust those two little ones, since you've all said so, I'll go get them back and ask them about it. Blue, where did they run today? ”

Lan on the side thought for a while and said, "It seems that I went to Jianmu to play early in the morning." ”

"Jianmu ......"

Looking up at the towering Jianmu in the distance, Yakumo Mo opened the gap and disappeared in one step. (To be continued......)
