"Qin En. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Someone is calling their own name.

When he heard this voice, he wanted to respond, but for some reason, his body did not carry out the orders of the brain.

It's not that the speech is dysfunctional.,I checked it with my hands.,I found that my throat was still there.,There wasn't any stitches on the mouth.,Occasionally try to make some simple sounds.。

But the results that can be achieved are limited to these, like the language ability of a baby who has just been born babbling.

A strong smell of disinfectant water penetrated into his nose, and unconsciously, he came to the modern hospital: it is true that the memory of the past is a little vague, but Qin En still has a concept of the hospital in the outside world. The white hospital corridor seemed to be night when viewed from the window, and he was sitting on a bench in the hospital corridor specially prepared for his family, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting, and there was no one around, and there was no familiar figure in his memory.

"Is there any meaning to appearing here?"

Hospital, a simple place to see a doctor, but Qin En knew that the situation in front of him was not normal, he knew that he was dreaming, this was not self-deception, he was very strange at this time to remember the things before falling asleep very clearly, and knew that he should not be in this modern hospital: no matter how ridiculous the Forever Pavilion was, it was impossible to reach this point.

Qin En, who interpreted the dream of Zhou Gong, had not read it, but he knew one thing, the hospital was the place of the cycle of life and death, and life must pass through here, and death must pass through here.

"Qin En. ”

Could it be that this is hiding the secret of my birth? As he unconsciously walked through the hospital building with such thoughts, the voice calling for himself became more obvious.

There was some wonderful magic in the voice, and when I looked back, I seemed to see someone beckoning to me, and if I looked at it from the hand, it was a young woman...... But why can't you see her face clearly?

Red shirt, white kimono..................

Damn! I forgot! There is another talk in the hospital! That is the area with a high incidence of paranormal events――――――――!!!!

"Whoa, a

Qin En sat up violently, and it wasn't until after this action was done that he could see clearly what was in front of him. It's not a hospital in the outside world, it's not a female ghost in red, it's a room with no modern atmosphere at all.

"Cut, cut, what, what...... Hahahaha. It's been a long time, it's just a nightmare, Nima's. I thought it was some kind of special dream for the protagonist, but it turned out that I was just having a nightmare for a long time!"

The tense nerves relaxed at this moment, Qin En lay on the bed with his whole body paralyzed, and when he raised his head, he saw a strange ceiling that he had never seen in any novel, but he judged rationally, this should be in the Eternal Pavilion, right?

"Alas, it's a shame, I didn't expect that I, a big man, would be woken up by a nightmare, but fortunately no one saw it. ”

“............ Are you alright?"

“...... Huh?"

When Qin En looked at the owner of the voice, he saw a pair of eyes with a girl's shyness and embarrassment.

The girl has beautiful long pink hair, and this color of hair directly reminds Qin En of her name: Reizen. Reizen-Yutankain-Inaba, the disciple of the Eight Meanings Yonglin, she didn't just come in, but sat obediently at the head of Qin En's bed with her legs together from the beginning to take care of him, a pair of black suspender stockings tightly wrapped the pair of soft and slender snow-slippery jade legs, and the white fingers deftly peeled the apple, and the intact apple peel fell on the floor, just from this you can see the girl's handicraft skills.

“...... I remember, you didn't seem to wear suspenders before, did you? Why do you suddenly change them now?"

"W-I can't tell you this......" Reisen lowered his head shyly, refusing to answer the question.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, I just woke up with a bit of a bad brain, and asked some questions that involve personal interests. ”

Interest?Maybe it's because Lingxian's master, Bayi Yonglin, thinks bare feet are not good-looking, right? Maybe it's because the weather has been getting cooler since the morning, in short, these are not things that Qin En can ask.

Then, the cold field was ...... Qin En has never felt that it is so difficult to speak, and even his voice began to become hoarse, this is not because Lingxian has changed his clothes, the combination of old-fashioned blue and white stripes and black silk suspenders is really full of disobedience, but there are always some people in the world who like contrasts and cuteness, and Qin En still respects the interests and hobbies of different people (refer to the official diplomatic slang.) ）

"I said ......"

"Say ...... please?"

"Can you forget everything that just happened?"

"Of course...... Ah, no, what just happened?"

That's it!

Lingxian is very 'sensible' and makes an innocent appearance, it's just amazing, this woman knows the atmosphere super well!

This made Qin En moved, and he and Ling Xian decided to forget everything that happened in the first few seconds.

Man, you always overcome your immature past!

"Here you go...... Just wake up and eat some fruit. ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

The apples were cut into several small pieces and placed on a plate, and each apple was topped with a toothpick, and Reizen's care was really complete, the delicious juice moistened his mouth, but his eyes were on the pale pink on Reizen's thin lips. Lipstick, with lipstick applied...... It looks very sweet, does that taste the same as an apple?Qin En thought about this question boredly.

"By the way, Reizen, what the hell is wrong with me......"

Soon, Qin En shifted his mind from boring things and began to care about what happened after the time he was in a coma: Bayi Yonglin after he gave himself a diagnosis.

Ling Xian's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and this expression also made the relaxed smile on Qin En's face begin to stiffen. This expression of Reizen...... He knew that if he remembered correctly, Qin En still remembered what he saw in the movie on the DVD player: the expressions of those doctors after someone next to the protagonist was unable to save him. That's amazing...... Although it is an outdated old movie, the actors in it are really vivid.

However, when Qin En himself saw this scene, he didn't have the heart to praise those people's performances, he hoped that Ling Xian's face would change later, and then he stuck out his tongue at himself and said, "I lied to you!"

"When activating the power, something went wrong, and the master didn't expect that the arrow not only did not activate the latent ability in your body, but also posed a threat to your life, so he ordered me to give you some first aid. ”

It's a pity that the scene that Qin En was looking forward to still didn't happen, and Ling Xian gradually made up her mind and told Qin En everything that happened in the middle.

Reizen pointed to Qin En's neck, where the wound had also healed...... It's good to feel the feeling that the scar has just healed...... The wound was healed beyond the recovery speed of the human body under the treatment of the Eternal Pavilion, but Qin En's mood was not happy at all.

"You mean, something went wrong when activating the power?" he said more about what was in Reizen's mouth.

"Hey, that's what happened. ”

“............ That is, failed?"

Qin En's tone suddenly became gloomy, and the temperature in the room dropped by more than ten degrees.

"I'm afraid, it looks like this. ”

That is, there was no activation, the ability was not activated, and the man named Qin En had just suffered in vain in the previous battle - just in vain.

How could this be? How could this be? Normally, when you wake up, you should awaken your abilities, right? Shouldn't you get the superpowers you have been looking forward to for a long time? But why did it become like this?

Ling Xian picked up the medical record hanging on the bedside, then looked at the contents on it, and remembered the master craftsman's evaluation of Qin En after careful examination:

"His talent is limited, and he has been studying magic and Taoism all his life, which is a third-rate level, and if he doesn't consider the conspiracy one-on-one, he can't even beat the Red Devil Pavilion gatekeeper, and there is no other way than the talent that comes with the soul of awakening instinct. ”

Although, it is better not to tell him at this time, but ...... Ling Xian still didn't hide it after all, recalling the scene after Bayi Yonglin made her judgment, and remembering the tone of the master at that time, she finally decided to tell Qin En the news completely.

"Your body is weaker than the body of an ordinary human in Gensokyo, which has something to do with the fact that you are an outsider, although your body has improved from the sub-health state of outsiders with the help of Fujiwara Meihong, but your own body limits your talents: that is, even if you exercise, you can't have any talent, because you are very adaptable to abilities............ Mediocre. ”

The original meaning was definitely not mediocre in the mouth of Bayi Yonglin, but a more cold word, and Lingxian said it in a tactful way.

"Mediocre...... It's okay to be mediocre. Qin En smiled reluctantly, although he made this appearance, he was already extremely sad in his heart.

It was definitely the first time he was said like this, and he didn't know if he had been proudly pointed at by his parents when he was a child and said: "You are very smart", but this recent experience has finally made him have basic confidence in himself.

"It doesn't matter, my ability is just to have special abilities such as superpowers, so, it doesn't matter if it's mediocre, I want to get special abilities that others don't have, I just need this to be enough, I don't care if I win or lose. ”

He just longed to gain this ability beyond mortals, to experience the feeling that power gave him, and that's all: not the Flame Gauntlet, it was the ability that was born in himself and no one could take it away.

This is this man's dream, a very simple dream, although it is absurd in the eyes of outsiders, but it is not a difficult ideal in Gensokyo, what a simple and pure ideal.

Ling Xian wanted to speak and stopped, in terms of the medical records and what the master said, the truth was not so simple, Qin En's mind, who had found a little good mood, fell to the bottom again.

"What, what's wrong, hey, Reizen, is there any bad news?"

It's like dealing with a patient who is unable to pursue what he wants because he is terminally ill, and if he tells the truth, the patient may collapse, but if he doesn't tell the truth...... Although the patient will be happy, but he has to pay the price of his life to pursue, as half a doctor, Reisen quickly made a choice, what should he say.

“...... The arrow has also had a negative effect on your body, and although you have not awakened any superpowers, your body and soul have 'reached their limits'. Looking at Qin En's confused expression, Ling Xian further explained: "To use the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess as an analogy: for example, you are a weapon, but you only have a groove on your body that is inlaid with ability, you can only enchant it once, and you can only master one superpower. ”

After brushing it, Qin En's face suddenly turned pale and pale: According to this kind of words, isn't he the kind of junk weapon in the game that can be bought in a store casually?

"If it's easy to do in the game, you can remove the groove inlay and enchant it, but you're a human being, and if you do that, you can easily ...... Dead, yes, that means you can't learn any superpowers, magic, Taoism, or spells in the future, and as long as you come into contact with that, your body will be injured, and you may even die."

Qin En didn't feel that after he woke up, there was any difference between him and before, and his superpower awakening was basically equivalent to failure.

It doesn't matter, since I failed, then I'll go and find another path, Qin En originally thought so.

But Lingxian told him the cruel answer: you can't touch it, although you don't have the ability to awaken, but the body and soul have judged that you have awakened, because you can't touch anything else.

"How is that possible...... How can this be!"

The practice with Fujiwara Meihong,Listen to Meihong's strict requirements.,And then follow the boss's dispatch to bully the weak.,And then fight with the kind of girl who shouldn't have anything to do with you.,And then you have to deliberately make yourself covered in bruises.。

How did it all come to naught!

Boom!

Qin En's fist slammed into the edge of the bed, and a fist-sized mark was dented.

"You ............" Originally, Reixian wanted to scold this man, but ......

I can't say that.

The man was almost completely gray, and his eyes were already hollow. Even in the battle, he did not give in, and in the face of an enemy who absolutely overwhelmed him, he still had the heart to play clever and actively fight, but he lost to his limit.

The posture of those who pursue their ideals falling to the bottom is the most miserable.

Unable to speak, Lingxian's pity and sympathy for this man made her unable to scold, she could only sigh bitterly in her heart: "I'm afraid the master will scold me, right?"

However, while Lingxian was in a low voice, the man stretched out his hand, took out a wad of Gensokyo currency, and said, "For the matter of my destruction of your eternal pavilion finances, I will compensate you - for you, this is a thousand yuan."

"Huh?"

For some reason, his attitude was a little unexpectedly hearty and direct, and after taking out a thousand yuan, he handed it over to Reisen without looking at it, and he didn't have any attachment at all.

Reizen was a little surprised, in fact, she was also ready to be angered by the patient, as a doctor, she had this awareness, but the truth did not happen, he not only apologized, but also paid compensation.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. When Qin En was sad, Ling Xian comforted Qin En: "Actually, with your current strength, there is no one who is your opponent among ordinary human beings, you don't need to care so much." ”

"............" However, Qin En didn't react at all, it seemed to be hesitating, it seemed to be depressed, he didn't know what he was thinking at all, and Ling Xian stood in place nervously and didn't know how to react.

Just when the atmosphere became awkward, Fujiwara Meihong, but walked in from outside the door.

"Sister Hong, Master ......"

Qin En's expression brightened up in an instant, this was the expression of the drowning man when he saw the straw.

He hoped to get a more definite answer from Mei Hong, to be precise, it was Mei Hong's promise to himself.

You must have a way to make yourself 100% awake to the promise! Master Meihong! Even if the methods are brutal, it doesn't matter! Let me get what I want!

But ――――――――

"Don't call me Master!" Fujiwara Meihong rudely interrupted Qin En's salutation, ignoring his embarrassed face and interrupting him.

This merciless interruption cut off the man's last thoughts.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's better. ”

"Then get up, you still have to go to work in the afternoon, don't you, Kazami Yuka's temper is not as good as it seems, and if you are late, it may be miserable. ”

Ling Xian could see that a pain flashed in Qin En's eyes, this kind of pain Ling Xian often saw, it was the expression of some people whose wounds were finally healed and their red scars were torn apart, that kind of pain.

"Fujiwara, is that right?" Reisen couldn't look at it, and scolded coquettishly, she had never seen such a cold-blooded person.

"It's none of your business, Stinky Bunny, what does he have to do with you......"

"I, I'm ......" Reixian didn't know what to say, she just stared at Mei Hong, but with Reinsen's posture, this kind of angry gaze had no deterrent effect at all, and her puffing appearance was even more cute.

"Poof, hahahahahahahaha. Hearty laughter, under Ling Xian's puzzled gaze, Qin En laughed out loud.

"Reisen, your appearance really has no deterrent effect at all, even if you stare at Fujiwara like this, it won't help. ”

Qin En smiled seemingly refreshingly, and according to Mei Hong's request, he no longer called her Master, but called her by the surname Fujiwara.

Mei Hong nodded lightly, this is the effect she wants, but when this title really came out, there was still a trace of gloom in her eyes...... When it really happened, Mei Hong found that she still had some nostalgia for the affectionate Mei Hong Master title in this man's mouth.

"Reizen, can I be discharged from the hospital now?"

"No, no problem...... Reisen wondered, why this man could still laugh heartily, why could he still smile after his dreams were shattered?

"Then I'm leaving, Reizen, I'm in a coma and I'm in trouble for you to take care of it. ”

In this way, after paying some necessary expenses, Qin En and Fujiwara Meihong left, leaving Reisen to look at the man's back in a daze.

Why? How could he still make such a cheerful look?

Ling Xian's mind was full of Qin En's depressed and gray and worrying appearance after knowing what was going on, but that appearance suddenly changed.

"This human is really hard to understand. Reisen muttered a word, and then turned and left.

The coat that was thrown in the courtyard was also taken back, and there was no obstacle to leaving the Forever Pavilion, and Ling Xian just sent Qin En and Mei Hong to the door and went back.

Compared with coming in happily all the way, when they came out, the two of them didn't know what to say, and compared with when they came, Qin En's back was a little more desolate.

"Qin En. ”

"Yes...... Huh?"

Suddenly, Mei Hong threw half of the arrow.

"Keep him, keep it as a memento. ”

Commemoration?Remembrance of shame?Qin En felt a little resentment in his heart, but when he looked at Mei Hong's face, Qin En suddenly calmed down.

That's not ridicule, it's not ridicule, that's ......

Guilty.

"Yes, I'll keep it. ”

Qin En put away the arrow, although his pursuit of the ideal life was ruined on this arrow, but its existence can also produce some kind of warning effect.

Sister Hong did this, but also hoped that Qin En would not hit the south wall all the way and be unrepentant, she hoped that every time Qin En had an impulse, he could calm down because of this failed arrow.

"By the way, I have this thing for you to ...... besides that"

Fujiwara Meihong also took out a new gadget, and when Qin En took it and looked at it, he found that it was his own flame glove: in the process of being unconscious, the flame glove that was taken down.

But there were some changes in the shape, there seemed to be some other special procedures in the power of the Flame Burst Glove, when Qin En put on the gloves, the originally flat gloves suddenly turned into an electric drill! Buzzing through the air! and then changed back to its original appearance in an instant.

"Extra to give you a little more ability, always using the power of fire is a little unreliable, so I asked that Bayi Yonglin to help you design this function, electric drill mode, can effectively destroy the skin of the monster, and can also cause damage to buildings. After a pause, Mei Hong said with some regret: "Originally, I thought you could awaken, so I took it off for you-but I didn't expect it to fail, now you, you still need this kind of thing to exist, in Gensokyo, you can't do it without a little self-defense weapon." ”

"Thank you, Fujiwara. Qin En simply controlled it, understood its procedures, and accepted it with a smile.

"Hmm...... Do you have any grievances?

"There is no dissatisfaction, although the ability has not been awakened, but I have also obtained a modified weapon...... Haha, I also admit it, anyway, I'm just a human being, since I can't get it, I don't have to force it. ”

"If only you could let go of the knots. ”

Then, Qin En's face changed suddenly, and then he took a step forward, blocked in front of Mei Hong, and bowed deeply-

"What do you mean by that?"

"Thank you for your cultivation all this time, Master Meihong - this is the last time I will call you Master!"

"What are you doing so politely......"

Qin En, deeply thanked Fujiwara Meihong, which made Meihong a little overwhelmed, because this kind of situation had never been encountered by Meihong, and she stood up in a hurry and wanted to help Qin En up.

However, Qin En took a strange step back, dodged Mei Hong's support, and took a step back and bowed to the end.

"It's just a pity that the disciple is clumsy and doesn't have the ability to awaken...... I have failed to live up to Master's cultivation, so my disciple wishes to resign, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come to you to receive teachings like before in the future. ”

“............ You. ”

Mei Hong understood what Qin En meant, and when Fujiwara Mei Hong looked at his face carefully, she found that all that hung on his face was a disappointed and bitter smile, a kind of depression like giving up.

He, in the towel.

This defeat made him lose confidence.

Yes, Qin En is also a human being, all along, although he has been trained by pretending not to care, but every time he suffers hard work, in order to gain superpowers, he would rather let Lingxian beat his face full of blood, but also succeed.

But all of this came to naught, and Bayi Yonglin's examination told Qin En that he didn't have that talent, and blocked his other retreats.

At present, he can only absorb half of the power of the arrow, but the half that is sucked away has no reaction at all, even if he wants to make further efforts, it is useless, although the arrow can enter the body again, but it will also bring danger to his own life.

He gave up his dream.

"What are you going to do?" Fujiwara Meihong lit a cigarette for herself, and when she asked Qin En, Qin En refused to smoke, so she took a deep puff of cigarette alone and asked.

"I plan to continue to work for Boss Yuxiang, I don't know how long the boss will hire me, but if the boss still appreciates me, I will make a lot of money, and then I will open a shop in the future and marry a beautiful woman who can run a family as a wife, it's as simple as that. ”

His eyes have become gray, his smile is not as relaxed as before, after being teased and told about the shackles and limitations of his talents, Qin En decisively gave up this path: people who can't even awaken their superpowers and origins, how can they become stronger?

“............”

Fujiwara Meihong has no way to say anything, because the choice made by this man is also a really correct choice. After discovering that his path to learning abilities required an overdraft of his life, it was wise for him to give up and seek another life.

"I'll take this arrow away, it's a souvenir...... Master Meihong—"

"All said, you don't need to call me Master, since you have decided to find your new life, the relationship between our master and apprentice has come to an end...... It's good if you call me sister red in the future. ”

Fujiwara's title, Mei Hong didn't like it very much, and she was very unhappy, because of the two words Fujiwara, the feeling of estrangement between the master and apprentice made Mei Hong extremely unhappy.

"Sister Hong...... Hm?" Qin En was a little uncomfortable, Qin En was a little unaccustomed to suddenly losing the last two words.

"Ah, that's right, you'll call me that from now on. Mei Hong didn't have too much hypocrisy, but responded to this title.

"That'...... Sister Hong, I can only come to see you occasionally in the future, since I don't need to cultivate, my work at the boss will also resume the full-time system. ”

"Go, go—you haven't been in a coma for long, and it's time to go to work in the afternoon. ”

"Mm-hmm, goodbye then, sister red. ”

Qin En slowly left the bamboo forest, he no longer had the same vigor as he had at the beginning, he saw his limit in the frustration.

"Sure enough, a dream is just a simple dream. ”

Enough dreams, should I wake up and work?

Qin En came to the sunflower shop where the wind saw the fragrance, sighed, and pushed the door open.

"Good afternoon, Qin En, I'm going to trouble you again today. ”

The lord of the flowers of the four seasons is fragrant, and he welcomes himself, the only employee, there.

"Good afternoon, boss, today, I want to ask for more advice. ”

When I wake up from my dream, it's time for me to work.

Let's put aside the things of chasing dreams.

I don't have that talent.

I'm some, unwilling!
