Upon seeing the mountain that was billowing black smoke and home to the legendary Kappa's factory, Marisa suddenly figured out a question that had been bothering her.

"No, Dongfang, you're lying to me. ”

"Ah, what did you say?"

Somehow she said this to me, is her head broken?

"If you're going to stay in the Monster Mountain for a night or two, you don't need any passes!

The guys in the mountains, from the gods who moved in from outside, down to the monsters who don't even have names, there is the daimyo who doesn't know Dongfang Haruka. If you learn that he wants to live in the Monster Mountain, let alone a day or two, no one will object for a year or two, and I'm afraid he will be very welcome!

As for those who dare to sneak up on him, they will lose their foothold in the Yokai Mountain forever.

Tengu and Kappa wouldn't allow that idiot to do anything to their benefactor.

Well, I thought it was, but it turned out to be this!

As Marisa said, I don't need any passes to enter Yokai Mountain right now.

After all, I got a good acquaintance there.

However, what I showed them was indeed a pass.

However, it is not a pass to enter the mountain, but a proof that you can enter the sacred land of the Tengu clan.

With it, I can go and meet their supreme leader, the Heavenly Demon.

Before leaving, the spirit dove Irin gave me this pass, hoping that I could take it to the Heavenly Demon and ask for help when something happened to the Monster Mountain or Gensokyo.

It's just that the Heavenly Demon suffered an almost irreparable injury during the battle with the moonlit night, and after my full treatment, the injury is almost healed, but because it is too weak, his consciousness is still in a state of half-consciousness and half-sleep. So I'm embarrassed to go to her, and the pass is still in my hands until now, and I haven't used it.

"That's right, right?"

Seeing that the other party didn't refute for a long time, Marisa immediately became happy.

It's not that easy to fool yourself.

"If you don't hurry up, I'll leave you alone!"

"Hey, wait, damn it, don't ignore what I just said......"

============================= divider =============================

The Nine Heavens Waterfall was gone, and it was reduced to a high gray-white wall. The walls are sloping and give the impression that they are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

"Wow, that's spectacular, is this the hydropower station that the kappa have been busy building?"

Marisa put his hand on the pergola and looked up, the hydropower station was so high, the top of which was probably higher than the water surface of the Lake of the Wind God.

She thought that even if it took ten years, she would not be able to do it, and it only took a few months for the Riverlord to complete it.

Sure enough, he is the leading water conservancy expert in Gensoky Township!

The ground shook slightly, and it seemed as if something huge was running over.

"Hey, hey. ”

Then everyone saw an object that looked like a person, but was several times larger than the people, kept waving its hands and rushed from under the hydropower station.

The thing was moving fast, and it was in front of us in the blink of an eye.

It was a strange humanoid covered in thick metal armor, more than six meters tall. Through the gaps between the armors, you can see the gears that are still spinning inside.

"Wow...... Is this what kind of machine is this?"

I've heard that kappa seem to have made a tool called a kiqì, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

"Wow ......"

Several pipes behind the machine qì man spewed out thick white smoke, and the roar in his body gradually stopped.

"It's really you! ”

A small head popped out of its head, and a pair of eyes were full of aura, and it was one of Kawashiro Natori's little followers.

"Well, we'll stop by here to have a look. ”

I nodded and smiled.

"Wait a minute. ”

Midori climbed out of the cockpit and jumped in front of me.

"Hello. ”

The girl bowed to the man, and the others were not so polite.

But everyone didn't care, they were already busy surrounding to watch the machine.

"Wow, is this all made of iron?"

When I knocked it with my hand, it was hard and the sound sounded very dull.

"It's not iron, it's alloy. ”

If it is made of iron, it won't take long for all these machines to rust!

"What is an alloy?"

"It's a new substance that is obtained by mixing many kinds of metals and smelting them. ”

"Oh, hey, there's a lot of stuff over there! Let's go there!"

As soon as Marisa raised her eyes, she found that there were more than a dozen machines parked under the hydropower station, and she was immediately very excited, and ran over quickly with a group of little girls.

"I'll go up there and take a look, and you can keep an eye on these guys for me, so they don't get into any trouble. ”

"Yes. ”

Midori, who was already a little uneasy, immediately agreed, she jumped into the cockpit, and the driver rumbled after her.

I went to visit the inside of the dam and found that Maya and Fudo were taking the others to put the finishing touches on the installation of the turbine, but they didn't see the two sisters of Kashiro Mitori, who was said to have gone to see Kashiro Natori's mother.

It was a very gentle woman, and she treated River City as if she were her own. Thanks to her, Kawashiro has not had such a bad attitude towards the kappa clan lately.

Marisa: After visiting the dozen or so machines, they wanted to drive them. Unfortunately, these people didn't have the talent for manipulating machinery as well as Kappa, and they almost crashed the machine. In order to prevent them from causing more damage, I had to take the guys away.

After walking into the mountains for a long time, the environment here has become extremely deep, and there is no trace of anyone coming.

"Hey, where is this? Why haven't I been here before?"

Marisa searched through her memories, but she couldn't remember that there was another place in Youkai Mountain that was so remote.

"There are so many places you haven't been here before!"

Don't say it's her, I'm afraid none of the Tengu have ever been here.

"Hey, don't talk like you know a lot about this place!"

It's super upset, why is this guy who hasn't been in Gensokyo for even two years knows much more about the situation here than himself, an aboriginal resident?

"Who told you to stay out of business all day. ”

"Is it true that wandering around the mountains every day is a proper karma?"

Along the way, climbing up and down, others began to have opinions.

"Why don't you just fly from the sky? Isn't that faster?"

"Yes, yes!"

Marisa asked, and the children all agreed with her suggestion, and they were too tired to leave.

"You can't find that place from above. ”

If I could, I wouldn't have chosen this hard way!

"Hold on a little longer!"

"Eh!!!!!"

No matter how reluctant it is, the road still has to go on.

Eventually, I noticed that the trees around me had grown a little sparsely, which meant that we were not far from our destination.

"Hurry up, we're almost there. ”

"Oh. ”

When the others heard me say this, they just waved their hands, but they looked weak.

"Woohoo. ”

Marisa stopped abruptly and wrinkled her nose.

"Do you smell anything?"

"Huh?"

The others didn't know why, but they sniffed like she did.

There was a faint smell wafting through the air, a little unpleasant, but it felt very familiar.

"Well, I think I've smelled this somewhere......"

In order to smell better, Marisa simply closed her eyes.

"Where?"

The girl's memory slowly retraced, and finally froze on the night when she went to the beach in the summer.

"It's a hot spring. ”

She exclaimed in surprise, there could be no mistake, it was the smell of the sulfur in the hot springs.

"Is there a hot spring here?"

"That's right!"

After all, volcanoes have erupted here in the past, so it's not surprising that there are hot springs.

"Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

This time, I didn't need to urge me, the girls seemed to be suddenly full of energy, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away.

"This—This is ......"

Marisa looked at the seven or eight large and small pools in front of her, but all of them were steaming, and some of the water in them were still boiling, and the muscles on her face twitched.

This...... It's a hot spring hub!

The life here is also unexpectedly very vigorous, the vegetation is dense, trees more than ten meters high can be seen everywhere, and the surrounding terrain is almost the same, if you don't look carefully, you can't find this place from the air at all.

No wonder Dongfang Yao would not agree to fly here directly.

"Hooray, hooray......"

When the other girls saw this hot spring, they were already excited and cheered.

"Oriental. ”

Marisa suddenly called out to me, then gave me a thumbs up.

“Goodjob。 ”

It's unbeatable! It's really right to follow the other person's actions.

I couldn't help but shake my head as I looked at the excited bunch of guys dancing there. You kept complaining about me just now, and now you're so happy.

Regardless of them, after walking for most of the day, I also feel tired, so let's take a rest first!

I found a large, clean rock and sat down.

"Marisa, let's check the temperature of these hot springs!"

If it's too hot, it's not fun.

"Good. ”

There are seven hot springs in the middle of the mountain, and they are irregularly distributed over the mountainous area more than 20 meters wide. The largest one weighed more than 30 square meters, but the smallest couldn't even sit down for two people. The temperature of the water also varies, the hottest ones can blanch people, and the lowest ones feel just a little warm.

And the most amazing part is probably because it contains other substances! The color of the water in each hot spring is different.

There are seven colors in seven pools, and no one has ever seen such a unique hot spring!

"Qiluno, you're going to soak here at night!"

Pointing to the smallest hot spring, Marisa smiled happily.

"It feels like it's really right for you!"

"Ah, nasty. ”

It's so small, there's no way to swim!

A group of people chattered for a long time, and finally decided that they were going to experience the rest of the hot springs except for the hottest one tonight.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still daytime and there was a man nearby, they would have wanted to try it at once.

"It doesn't matter what those things do, you better hurry up and help prepare lunch!"

Don't these people feel hungry after walking the mountain road for so long?

"Gollum. ”

Needless to say, as soon as I brought it up, I immediately heard a thunderous belly roar.

"Hahaha, I'm hungry!"

Marisa stroked the back of her head and laughed embarrassedly.

"Then don't come and help. ”

"Yes. ”

The second settlement arrives, and I wonder if something interesting will happen tonight?
