What kind of world is Gensokyo?

For some people who know more about this center of the Ten Thousand Worlds, there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and if a brick falls from the sky, it may be a super strong person with the ability to raise his hand to destroy the world.

Not to mention that there are many people who are not too strong, but have a long lifespan and other extraordinary talents.

Or a scholar who likes to smash people with a headbutt.

Or the world's No. 1 maid who can take out two big Ivan from the group at any time.

Or look at the stupid but able to pull your IQ to the same level as her, and then beat you with that experience (9).

Or...... It's a dead house that looks like a wasted person, but it has the extraordinary wisdom to calculate you to death.

Who knows?

◇

The room was dim.

The thick curtains that were drawn shut out the sunlight outside.

In the wooden room, whether it is a bed, a low table or a candlestick, everything used in the home is Tang style.

Only those two computers, which look very high-spec at first glance, seem out of place.

Each computer is equipped with four monitors, and the bright light emitted by the eight-monitor screen is the only source of light in this dimly lit room.

“…… Call...... Call...... Finally won...... Sixteen Nights, this guy is really tough to deal with......"

“…… Ernie, I'm so tired......"

“……”

“……”

After a brief conversation, the room fell silent again.

Until-

Buckle buckle clasp.

After a rhythmic knock, the room door was pushed open.

Pushing the door in, it was a red-haired girl dressed as a maid.

"Sora-sama, Haku-sama, it's time for lunch."

“…… Ah, it's Stephanie? ”

"So fast...... Is it time for dinner? ”

Smack. Stephanie's forehead bulged, and she first slammed her forehead against the wall next to her, and then changed her face to a bright smile.

"Ah, what nonsense are Sora-sama and Haku-sama talking about, it's been four hours."

Taking a step forward, Stephanie pulled out a leather whip from behind her and swung it in the air. There was a "pop" sound.

“…… Sora-sama and Haku-sama, who don't eat well, are really not well-behaved. ”

The blank brother and sister hugged each other, huddled in the corner and shivered.

"Good, so scary...... Was Stephanie such a scary creature turned out? ”

“…… Ernie (crying) ......"

"Sora-sama, Haku-sama, now, can we, go, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat?"

The brother and sister nodded their heads like rabbits cornered by a beast with nowhere to escape.

◇

It's a restaurant, but it's a bit too big.

Still a traditional wooden building, the siblings sat opposite each other at a low table, with Stephanie standing respectfully beside each other.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Stephanie seemed to want to say something, Sora asked curiously.

“…… Lost pocket money? ”

"When did you give me pocket money?"

"Huh? Didn't you? ”

"Don't show a [Ahh was discovered] expression, how can it be repaired! ”

"Bang!"

Stephanie slammed her forehead on the low table again, startling the siblings.

Sora watched the low table made of red nanmu wood comparable to the alloy armor grown in Gensokyo being knocked out of the cracks, and couldn't help but say in a cold sweat: "Stephanie, when did you learn this iron head skill from Teacher Huiyin?" ”

Bai cautiously stretched out his finger and touched the crack, and then his face became whiter and paler.

Stephanie took a deep breath, changed her face in an instant again, and changed it to "a harmless maid with a special smile on her master"-

"That's right, today's "Wenwen. News has said. In a few days, it will be the day when the [Pan World Fighting Championship] will begin......"

Empty: "Pan-World ......"

White: "...... Fighting tournaments? ”

Brother and sister: "What's that?" ”

"Don't you all like to read newspapers!? Although "Wenwen. "News" is a well-known festival.,Can't see the train with a mouth.,But it's also the official newspaper of Gensokyo.,Hey, the empty adults who live here, and the white adults, you also have to know about current affairs.,It's always so dead.,Ignore what's going on outside the window.,Are you going to hatch chicks!? ”

Shocked by Stephanie, he immediately gave the latter a thumbs up: "Stephanie, your spit bunker!" ”

"Fort!" Shiro followed suit.

A palm on the forehead. Stephanie sighed helplessly: "Forget it, what are you angry with me and the blank adult......"

"Then again, Stephanie, that fight tournament isn't something we can participate in, right?"

Empty put down the chopsticks and scratched his hair.

"What's the use of saying that?"

"That's what I thought at first, so I didn't think much of it, but—"

With a "bang", Stephanie came from under her skirt (?) I pulled out the latest issue of Wenwen. News was placed on the table.

The headline on the front page reads "Detailed Rules of the Upcoming Pan-World Fighting Championship" in Dou Da characters.

"If you follow the rules above. I'm sure Sora-sama and Haku-sama will be able to get a good place! ”

The two siblings suddenly leaned over to look at it curiously.

"Oops!?"

“…… Ernie, Rule ...... It's weird......"

"That's it!"

Stephanie looked expectant.

"It's no longer just a battle between players, but using the latest technology jointly developed by Kappa Heavy Industries and Misaka Crossworld Group, each player who enters the battle will wear a [Neural Control Bracelet], and then let the other player take control of the battle! It's like playing a fighting game! ”

That is to say. Regardless of the strength of the person who actually fights, how much combat power he can exert depends largely on the level of the person who controls him? ”

There was an inexplicable brilliance in Sora's eyes.

"That's right! It is said that the original intention of this rule is to allow those who do not have strong combat ability to have the opportunity to participate in the tournament, and at the same time, in order to limit the huge difference in strength between the participants in the actual battle, this bracelet will also be limited in the combat power of the contestants and then weakened or enhanced to achieve a balance, after all, if someone like Kazami Yuuka-sama of the sun flower field participates, except for a few, no one can fight against it. ”

"If that's the case...... Then it's a fighting game. ”

“…… Ernie, the words of the game ......"

The two siblings looked at each other and laughed.

"Blank, never say never!"

Stephanie suddenly showed a happy expression: "So, Lord Kong and Lord Bai are ready to compete?" ”

"There's a problem."

Sora suddenly raised a finger.

"Bai and I must be the controllers, so who will be the combatants?"

"Here, here!"

Stephanie excitedly reached out and pointed to a corner of the newspaper.

"As explained above, everyone is free to form a team before the competition and choose whether they want to be a controller or a combatant!"

"That's right...... If you are free to form a team...... Shiro, it looks like we need to find her. ”

“…… Well, Ernie. ”

"She?"

A series of question marks popped up on Stephanie's head.

Sora smiled brightly:

"Yes, of course...... Gypril! (To be continued.) )
