The last six days of December, when the wind is howling, always pass quickly, and with heavy snow that comes and goes quickly, Gensokyo ushers in a new year, which is 2016 according to the outside world.

In the days leading up to the new year, the Japanese inhabitants of the human world had begun various preparations, and even the handful of Japanese soldiers from the Boghall soldiers and the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers had applied for more than a month's leave from Feng Longde through the Guards Knights, so that they could go home with their families to spend the most important holiday for almost all Japanese families in the world: the Japanese New Year.

Japanese New Year refers to the unique way of celebrating the New Year of the Japanese nation, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in other East Asian regions, and is the most important festival of their year, also known as the first month: the first month of the lunar calendar was originally the first month of the lunar calendar, and the lunisolar calendar modified from the summer calendar was used to calculate the year, but Japan changed to the Gregorian calendar after the Meiji Restoration, so it is used to call the January of the new calendar, from January 1 to January 31 are called the first month, and the first month of the lunar calendar is called the "old first month". The New Year's Eve is no longer celebrated in most parts of Japan outside the world (with the exception of the Amami Islands in Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures, and some rural areas), but among the many Japanese people who still maintain the atmosphere of the Edo period in Gensogo no Sato, they are still accustomed to celebrating the New Year according to the old customs.

Welcoming the new year can be a big deal for Japanese families in the world, so from late December, in addition to celebrating Christmas with the Germanic residents, Japanese families have cleaned their homes inside and out, and some have even hung a rope above the door, supposedly to ward off the ghosts, the effect of which is unknown. Feng Longde's personal feeling is similar to the fact that he has seen many Chinese families hang a small mirror on the top of their house as a so-called "demon mirror", and the symbolism is greater than the actual meaning.

On New Year's Day, Feng Longde basically slept until the morning was almost noon: because it was a Friday, Feng Longde was exhausted after tossing around for a few days of combat skills training and those affairs in the Teutonic camp, and he urgently needed to make up for a lazy nap to slow down, so he almost missed the activity that the Japanese residents in Gensokyo would do: the first time.

At midnight in the old and new years of communication. The incense smoke of the temple in the temple in the world rang in unison, and the bell in the temple struck a full 108 times - because of the phrase "Hearing the bell, the troubles are cleared" in the "Buddhist scriptures", the Japanese residents believed that every time the bell was struck, a kind of trouble would be removed, and if it was struck 100 and 8 times, it would mean that all the troubles were removed; after the bell rang, the Japanese residents would flock to various shrines and temples with the young and the elderly to burn incense and worship the Buddha and count fortunes, this activity was called "first worship" (meaning the first visit).

After paying homage to the gods and Buddhas, on the morning of New Year's Day, the whole family of Japanese residents from the young to the old drank Tusu wine. Try herring roe, black beans, and small dried fish boiled in soy sauce with a slightly sweet taste, because according to their customs, these auspicious foods will make their children prosperous and healthy. During the New Year, a straw rope or a circle made of straw rope is often pulled up above the door of each household of Japanese descent, which is called "Zhurenjin" or "Zhurentai...... Yes, it is said to be used to ward off ghosts, and some of them are equipped with pine and bamboo called "Katamamatsu", and Japanese residents also put paper cutouts on animals that symbolize longevity, such as cranes and turtles, on the inside and outside of their homes. Pray for peace, and at the same time, the corresponding year signs are engraved according to the image of the 12 zodiac signs and presented to each other.

Feng Longde used to be a senior otaku, because he watched anime, and he was still involved in these Japanese festival customs. And there are many factors influenced by Japanese festivals among the many local festivals in Tokushima City itself, but he personally does not have much interest in going to this kind of festival: as a native German who has lived in China for a long time, the festivals he has been accustomed to celebrating are basically Chinese and Germanic style festivals, and the only festival that can be seen is the cherry blossom viewing party in Tokushima City itself, and other Japanese customs and festivals have neither the environment nor the courage to go - There are few smart people with rational thinking these days, but there are fools who have no brains and love to spit and make fools. At that time, Feng Longde didn't have the guts to be so fat that he was sprayed by the ****** around him in order to try the exotic style, so naturally he would be interested in ghosts over time.

Originally, Feng Longde had the idea of how to spend the festival in the world, sleep heavily in the past two days, or stay in his room to read books and play games to slow down his spirits, but he forgot that in addition to him, Caroline, the knights of the guards, the lich mages and those human servants, there were also a few goblins and monster girls living in the headquarters fort of his Teutonic camp

That's right, in the many rooms on the first floor of Fort Headquarters. And there are five girls who are either goblins or little goblins— and Lumia, the Great Goblin, Liglu, and Miski, who are either goblins or little goblins— Although they have all lived under the same roof for almost a year, but in view of the fact that Feng Longde, who is usually either busy with his own combat skills training or dealing with many affairs in the Teutonic camp, does not have much daytime to stay in the headquarters fort, so these monsters and goblins usually play by themselves or run outside the Teutonic camp to play, and only occasionally will they have a chance to meet Feng Longde, who tosses and turns every day.

According to common sense, if there is a so-called cohabiting girl under the eaves of someone's own house, it would be crazy to be happy? If it were anyone else, it would be too late to do everything possible to be around these monsters and goblins. However, if Feng Longde has this treatment, he is a little blind, if Weisk and the others know, they will all suspect that Feng Longde is still Loli in the end, and there are several Loli living in the house, but there is no progress, which is completely suspicious of his sexual orientation

Even so, from Feng Longde's point of view, he doesn't think so: he knows very well that these monsters and goblins who are not high or low in personal strength have a few catties and taels and what kind of personality they have, so Feng Longde naturally doesn't have much contact with them in line with the idea that the well water does not interfere with the river water, that is, Misiqi, who is still setting up a mobile barbecue stall, has more communication with him, but it is only limited to the relationship between diners and stall ownersBy the way, Misty has now restored the barbecue stall to the previous state of mobile operation everywhere, but she will also settle in the Teutonic camp regularly。 After all, there is a fairly stable source of customers here, and it is very convenient to replenish ingredients in a location very close to the earth, and the most important thing is that if she senses that Yuyuko's undead spirit who acts with the nature of "food for the people" is coming to her, the well-guarded Teutonic camp will bring her a sense of security in both physical and mental sense

As soon as Feng Longde barely woke up and was about to go back to sleep, the door of his room was slammed open, and then he couldn't sleep at all: an extremely cold feeling suddenly filled the entire room. If it weren't for the heating system installed in the walls of the room, Feng Longde felt that he might be directly frozen in the quilt and couldn't get out!

"Qi Lunuo, you have a hairball!" Feng Longde, whose head was exposed outside the quilt, already felt that his face was about to frost, he used his tenacious willpower to pull out his left hand from the quilt, picked up his demon ring-winged barrel helmet on the bedside table and threw it over, "Why don't you go out to play with your little friends or scare humans, and run to my room to cool down and do what kind of moth?!"

"Feng Longde, today is the New Year!" Qi Lunuo didn't know how much Feng Longde wanted to sleep in a dull mood, she was able to avoid Feng Longde's helmet throw. The Demon Ringed Barrel Helmet slammed into the wall and stood still in the corner, the sharp edges of the Demon Ringed Wings on both sides of it almost scraped off the wall skin, "At this time, you are going to play at Hongbai's house! Feng Longde, you seem to have come to Gensokyo during the New Year, right? Or did you come later? I can't remember exactly! Anyway, I'm going out to play today!"

"What can you remember with your IQ" Feng Longde wanted to take a sip, but due to politeness and feeling too cold, he didn't do it, but built an armed suit from the flesh and blood full of the Ron virus on his body as fast as he could, and then lifted the thick quilt and jumped up, "And the place you said is Reimu's Hakurei Shrine." Although what you said is not bad, you should go to disaster in the New Year, Reimu, that guy, you will go to disaster, what do you care about me? I also plan to sleep for two days and rest. ”

"Let's go play!" said Kirino grinning. Seeing that Feng Longde was hurriedly putting the wolf skin jacket and wolf skin trousers on his body, so as to isolate the cold in the room as soon as possible, "Feng Longde, you usually don't pay attention to your own life, you are busy with those boring things every day, and it is the New Year, so you should go and have fun!"

"Damn, is IQ really (9)? I just thought that there was nothing to play in my head, the problem was that you just played, pull me to do something" Feng Longde felt a lot warmer after putting on the wolf skin double kit, and then the first thing he did was to pick up a mace from the weapon rack on the side and rush to Qi Luno, and the turquoise flames that erupted from all over his body and on the mace when the Death Weapon was activated. "Hurry up and turn off this cold air on your body! If you continue to fix the moth for me, believe it or not, I will smash you and stuff it directly into the elemental tower to be used as the raw material for the artificial synthesis of magic crystals in the water system!!"

After a burst of chickens and dogs, the Teutonic Gothic plate armor, The burqa, hood, cape and personal weapon were all put on, washed and washed, and Feng Longde, who had finished going to the toilet, walked into the restaurant with a certain ice goblin who was beaten all over his head in his left hand: In the past, Qi Lunuo (9) would occasionally run to his room to make trouble, such as making the quilt that had been tightly wrapped in advance warm to the same temperature as the freezer in the refrigerator, or making the whole room a general decorative set that was passed by a snowstorm, if Qi Lunuo was beaten by Haibian, he would be honest for at least a week or two, but after that, he would continue to make a little trouble for Feng Longde like a brain, and then the cycle would start over and over again

Feng Longde seriously doubted that Qi Lunuo, the ice goblin, belonged to the type of nine days without playing the house and revealing tiles, which was better and limited than the time limit for human bear children to remember the lesson, but the destructive power was greater: no matter how human bear children were skinned, the damage caused was not too exaggerated, and any adult could easily clean him up and teach him the truth of being a human being, while Qi Lunuo, the ice goblin, was different, the racial talent of being able to freely control the air conditioner made this bear ice goblin a headache enough to make it a headache once she misbehaved, and she was not completely boasting as the strongest guy among the goblins, Feng Longde, who has not transformed into a soul heart, may not be able to take her down easily, but now facing Feng Longde, who can sacrifice the death weapon and roar flames from his mouth, Qi Lunuo has completely become a weak chicken

Over time, Feng Longde is also used to Qi Lunuo's goods from time to time to make trouble for himself, anyway, his countermeasures are quite simple and rude, and if he catches it, it is Hai K, but Feng Longde does not have any ill feelings towards Qi Lunuo, he usually does not take the initiative to contact outsiders, he is very boring, and it is not bad to have such a guy to brush his sense of existence in a trouble-looking way-of course, he should be beaten or beaten, and if he makes a mistake, he must be punished, this is still a lesson learned by Feng Longde after being beaten by Yayun Zi when he was a cross-border mutation

When he walked into the restaurant, Feng Longde was stunned for a moment when he saw the situation near the dining table, his left hand unconsciously let go, and a certain ice goblin with a big bag fell directly to the ground, and there was a sound of oops, oops, oo

There is no other reason: when Feng Longde eats three meals a day, there is basically no one else in the restaurant except for the human servants who are in charge of serving, because Caroline, who also lives in the headquarters fort, is basically stuffed in the underground magic laboratory all day long, and as a dragon spirit elemental body, she doesn't care much about eating; the situation of the lich mages is similar to their superiors, and they are obsessed with experiments and research, even if they eat, they only eat at around midnight, and basically go to sleep to regain their soul strength after eating; the knights of the guard will gather together to eat, but that is only after Feng Longde leaves the restaurant after eatingAfter all, no matter how easy-going Feng Longde is, the strict hierarchy is still there, and the knights of the guard do not dare to go beyond it; as for the human servants, they are the same, and it is their turn to get the right to use the restaurant after the knights of the guard have eaten, so Feng Longde usually eats alone, and at most there are human servants standing aside and ready to serve at any time.

And now, what Feng Longde saw in his eyes was that there were many people sitting on the two rows of seats next to the dining table, and they all looked at him in unison. (To be continued.) )
