Episode 52 Farewell to Spring
"Alas......"
Life is full of all kinds of tragedies! After fishing by the lake for days on end, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch fish here. I don't know if it's because the genetically modified fish have even improved their IQ in addition to their unusually large size? Anyway, I changed the location several times, and after waiting for a long time, there was still not a single small fish on the bait.
It's so depressing.
"Woo. β
Hey, I don't seem to be the only one who feels depressed!
I looked up curiously and saw the white figure.
Pure white with a little pink dress, long blond hair, a round hat on his head, and the translucent wings behind him looked like dozens of pieces, but in fact there were only a pair.
At this time, Lilybeth was different from the usual energetic appearance, with a lingering sadness on her face.
"Hi. β
I waved at her.
Seeing that it was me, she immediately fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? I look sad, am I being bullied by someone again?"
Seeing her deflated little face, I asked.
"Spring ......"
"What?"
"Spring is coming to an end! Wow......"
The words I didn't intend to ask seemed to open a terrible door, and the tears that had been suppressed in Lilybeth's eyes finally welled up.
"Oh. β
Some get it.
I stood up, walked over, and touched her forehead.
"Do you feel bad?"
"Hmm. β
Lily White nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Lily doesn't want spring to end. β
"What a wayward idea!"
I patted her on the head and smiled.
"There is a saying in human beings, and I like it very much. β
"What?"
Lilybeth looked up at me curiously.
"Without parting, you won't understand the joy of reunion. What can always be seen, no matter how precious it is at the beginning, will eventually become invisible. β
"Lily, I don't understand. β
The girl shook her head.
For her, these words belong to the incomprehensible Cheng dΓΉ.
"If flowers bloom all year round, will anyone look down at them and praise them? If you show up all the time, will anyone still say to you, 'Long time no see'?"
β......β
"Spring goes to autumn, summer solstice and winter comes, the change of the four seasons, the change of the sun and the moon, this is the blessing that nature gives to the earth, we have no reason to resist, but should accept it happily. β
"So, don't feel sorry for the spring anymore. β
I concluded.
Sob.
The petite body trembled slightly, representing the uneasiness in the heart of its owner now.
"Did Lily do something wrong?"
"You didn't do anything wrong. β
I reached out and wiped the tears from her face and said.
"I can't bear to let it go, which means that you love spring deeply!"
"Well, Lily loves spring the most. β
Lilybeth finally smiled, giving people the feeling of brightness, like the first rays of sunlight breaking through the clouds after a continuous rain.
"What a good boy. β
It can be seen that she will no longer be sad because of the end of spring.
"Okay, in order to be more energetic and welcome the arrival of the next spring, Lily has to go and take a good rest!"
Regaining her self-confidence, the girl became energetic again.
"The ......"
Lilybeth looked down at me, suddenly becoming a little uneasy.
"Will I ever see you again next spring?"
"Well, of course. β
"Great, I'll be the first to look for you next spring. β
"That's fine, but I hope you don't come too early and disturb my sleep, but someone will come to catch you!"
"Huhuhu, understood. β
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"When the cherry blossoms bloom, I look forward to seeing you. β
"Well, it will. β
Lilybeth nodded, her wings began to shake, and her body slowly floated.
"I'll see you next spring, I'm really happy to meet you. β
"Goodbye, elf of spring. β
Lily rolled and flew into the air, dropping points of light from the sky, and her figure faded away, and finally disappeared on the other side of the mountain.
It turns out that spring is coming to an end!
From the moment on, I suddenly felt that the color of the sky and the breath of the wind had changed slightly.
But my luck doesn't seem to be very good! it's been three poles a day, and the buoy on the line still hasn't moved, and no fish have been hooked at all.
It looks like I'm going to go home empty-handed today.
"Really, why do you like doing such boring things so much?"
Just as I was thinking about whether to go back early, a voice full of arrogance sounded behind me, accompanied by the sound of shallow footsteps that were gradually approaching.
I looked back and saw two familiar people.
He had short light blue hair, red eyes, a white gothic outfit, a large ruby on his chest, and a red ribbon tied around his waist, just like the hat he was wearing. In her seemingly petite body, there is a jaw-dropping power hidden, and with the pair of giant wings that rise above her head, her identity is about to be revealed.
Lord of the Red Devil Pavilion, Remilia.
Holding a parasol in her hand, she followed her closely, and it was naturally the inseparable and loyal maid, who had been saki for sixteen nights.
Even though the sunlight can no longer harm her, as a member of the Night, Remilia hates from the bottom of her heart this being that brings light to all things.
"You've scared my fish away. β
I said to Remilia angrily.
No matter where this guy goes, he has a strong evil spirit, let alone a fish, even if he is a monster, he has to quickly slip away when he encounters her.
"Ah, yes? I'm sorry about that!"
Even though he apologized, Remilia's tone was still so haughty.
And there is no sincerity in apologetics at all.
Bad guy.
"But you don't seem to have caught any fish at all!"
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, as if to mock my incompetence.
"If you don't come, you'll be fine. β
It's a shame, this guy likes to fall for my failures the most.
"Fishing, squatting at home all day, or wandering around with nothing to do, I really can't understand why a person with skills like you always does something meaningless?"
Remilia shook her head as she spoke, she really couldn't accept that such a guy had defeated herself lightly.
"What do you think is meaningful?"
I simply turned around and looked at her and asked.
"Conquer Gensokyo, or rule the world, do you think I'm the one to do that?"
Remilia's brows furrowed slowly, and she was silent for a long time before she spat out a word inaudibly.
"Nope. β
"Just take it easy, it won't hurt me, you, or everyone. β
I smiled meaningfully at her and turned back again.
Looking at the other party's back, Remilia pouted, although she was very unconvinced, but she also had to admit that if the guy opposite really "made a difference", it would not be a good thing for the entire Gensokyo, and it was safer to maintain the status quo.
"Ah, forget it, go back and go back. β
Stand up, I started to collect the fishing rods, today is really a trip for nothing!
Remilia and Sixteen Wild Rooms stood aside like that, silently watching.
"Let's go, I just made some new black tea, so please go and taste it. β
I said to them as I carried the pole.
"Oh, that's great news. β
Remilia smiled faintly, and her eyes showed anticipation.
The three of them left the ground and flew towards Kamine Island, hidden in the depths of the white clouds.
As we were about to cross the barrier on the island, I blinked and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Remilia asked, looking at me curiously.
"Looks like someone is calling me?"
"Huh?"
I turned my head to look, and just above the direction of the earth, a dark shadow was flying towards me at an alarming speed.
In less than a minute, the shadow had come to a halt in front of us.
"Dongfang, you come with me at once. β
The Sealed Beast Eagle took my hand with an extremely anxious expression and said.
"What?"
"On the way, I'll tell you slowly, now come with me first!"
"Hey!"
I didn't have any room to resist, so she dragged me away in a hurry.
"Black Tea ......"
Remilia stretched out her hand and stared blankly at the two people who quickly flew away.
That guy, just now he said that he wanted to invite himself to tea, why did he run away with others now?
The thought of this made her furious.
"Sakiya, chase me. β
"Yes, Miss. β
The whistling sound of successive objects flying at high speed sounded, and four figures in front of and behind them sped away in the same direction.
"What the hell is going on?"
Originally, it was the Beast Owl who forcibly dragged me away, but now it was me who pulled her, after all, I was much better than her in terms of speed.
"The saints are going to be taken away. β
"And then. β
For this, I have long understood, Gensokyo is such a big place, they can't escape far at all, and sooner or later they will be found.
"She wanted me to escape, but I couldn't, so I came to you. β
Speaking of this, Feng Beast Eagle felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Obviously, her strength is also very strong, but the others just didn't agree to let her help, and they drove her away strongly.
Hmph, this time I definitely want to show them what they can do.
"Why are you looking for me?"
I'm a little strange, I've only met the Beast Owl twice, and I don't have any friendship, why did she come to me for help?
I don't believe I'm that charismatic.
"Huh?"
The Beast Eagle looked at me, as if she felt even more strange.
"Didn't you say it yourself, if there was anything I could do to go to you?"
Is there such a thing?
Come to think of it, after the shrine crash, I really said something like that to her casually.
"But, even so, I may not be able to help!"
"No problem, I'm sure you can. β
It's really trust for no reason!
"Hey, did you say enough was enough?"
Remilia was furious that she had been neglected.
"Who is she?"
The Sealed Beast Eagle glanced at her and asked.
"My friend. β
Remilia's mouth moved, and then she glared at me fiercely, leaving me feeling very inexplicable.
"Oh, it looks like the strength is okay, so let them follow!"
"Little ghost, do you want to taste my power?"
"Ah, here it is, there it is. β
The Sealed Beast Eagle suddenly pointed ahead and shouted loudly.
Deep in the mountains, a temple appeared in front of our eyes.
