Episode 114 Coming Home
The red light in the forest was surging, and two figures gradually appeared in the light.
"Have we returned to Gensokyo?"
The big goblin looked at the slightly gloomy woods around him in surprise, but he didn't expect to come back so easily.
"No, it's still alive. ”
Dongfang Yao's words were like a plate of cold water, which made her so sad that she almost cried.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this little goblin looking like he had been greatly wronged.
"Don't worry, since I promised to take you back, I will never break my word. ”
"Oh. ”
The big goblin blinked, and quickly put away her tears, she was really worried that she had been deceived just now!
"Then Lord Dongfang, what are we doing in this place?"
"Because we're going back to Gensokyo from here. ”
I walked over to the pond and took out the once-used spatial crystal from my body.
Fortunately, I came back early, and there was only a small ray of sunlight shining on the top of the pond, and I am afraid that it will disappear completely in a few minutes.
The activation of the "Piercing Gate" must use the power of starlight, and if you miss this moment, you can only wait until the stars or moon come out at night.
The space crystal floated from my hand and flew towards the beam of sunlight, and when the light shone through its body, the multicolored crystal suddenly lit up, and six rays of light flew out and hit the six big trees, and the hidden magic arrays engraved on the trees resurfaced.
"Ding. ”
As soon as all the surrounding light converged, the spatial crystal suddenly swelled out, turning into a silver aura more than two meters high.
The aura is made up of a series of mysterious symbols that are constantly spinning. The inside of the ring shimmered like a whirlpool, concave into the center.
"Walk through this gate and we'll be able to reach Gensokyo. ”
I turned to the big goblin with wide eyes and stared at the qiē.
The opening of the "Crossing Gate" once again woke up the residents who were sleeping here.
Xuan Ye appeared, but he didn't fly, just exposed the upper part of his head and body to the water, and looked at me without blinking.
"Are you going to go? ”
Xuan Ye turned his gaze to the "Crossing Gate", this strange thing had never been seen even after he had lived for so many years.
"Well, if I don't go back, I'm afraid someone will come looking for me. ”
I nodded and replied with a smile.
"Oh, what about this little girl?"
Seeing the big goblin who walked next to the man and was looking at him curiously, Xuan Ye couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He seemed to be alone just now! Why did he go out for a spin and there was an extra girl beside him?
And it's a goblin.
"A poor child who is in a foreign land, I am going to take her back!"
"I see. ”
"Alright, let's go. ”
I patted the elf on the shoulder and walked towards the aura.
"Young man, are you going to Gensokyo?"
After being silent for a while, Xuan Ye suddenly shouted.
"Oh, you know where I'm going?"
At this point, I was already convinced that this old turtle was also from Gensokyo.
"Hehehe, although the old man is old, he is not confused!"
Xuan Ye said happily.
"Since you're from Gensokyo, if you have the chance to meet a certain evil-eyed youkai and a lazy shrine maiden, say hello to them on behalf of the old man. ”
"Well, no problem. ”
I nodded and agreed to his request.
"But aren't you going to go back too?"
"Nope. ”
Xuan Ye shook his head.
"If I go back, I'll listen to that girl whining in my ears every day, and it's better to stay outside. ”
"Since you say so, then I won't force you. ”
I bent down slightly and saluted him.
"Goodbye, old sir. ”
"Goodbye, and the little girl over there, remember to be careful on the road. ”
"Ah, goodbye, old man. ”
The big goblin, whose mind had been confused, came back to his senses and hurriedly bent down and bowed.
"Let's go. ”
"Yes. ”
The elf and I stepped into the swirling wall of light, and the aura grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared with the two of us......
The surroundings were white, and no matter which direction the big goblin looked, he couldn't see anything, only the roar of "rumble". Then all the sounds died down, and she saw the blue sky again.
"Huh?"
Looking at the empty feet, a row of question marks jumped above the big goblin's head.
They now seem, perhaps, probably, should, stay in the air.
"Wow......"
When she finally understood, she immediately screamed and hugged the people around her.
"What's wrong?"
"I, I have a fear of heights. ”
"Huh?!"
I was stunned, she seems to be a goblin, how come I've never heard of goblins being afraid of heights.
The place where we are now is about 300 meters above the surface! One of the big drawbacks of the one-way "crossing gate" is that the location of the exit is random, and no one can be sure where they will go.
And those exits are usually located at a relatively high location.
This problem can only be solved by establishing a "crossing gate" here to form a two-way channel.
"Whew, that's scary. ”
The big goblin hugged the man hard, not daring to open his eyes and look down at all.
She used to fly only at low altitudes, and she was often ridiculed by other goblins for this!
Only Kirino is different, and she never laughs at her. Sometimes she even got into a fight with those guys because people laughed at her.
As soon as he thought of her, the big goblin felt warm in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see each other.
Unexpectedly, this little girl still had this weakness, I sighed, and instead of pushing her away, I landed with her.
"Well, we've fallen to the ground. ”
"Yes...... Really?"
The big goblin cautiously opened his eyes, and when he saw the tall trees, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of me.
"This place is ......"
Looking at the lake covered by faint clouds, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, there's less fog today!"
The fog in the Lake of Mist is very light today, and the red mansion can still be clearly seen from here.
The white fog here is only very strong when Remilia is at home, and I wonder if their formation has something to do with her.
"Ah......h
The girl suddenly screamed, and flew madly towards the island in the lake.
"Qiluno, everyone, Misso is back!"
"Huh?"
I froze for a moment, I just heard her call out to that idiot! Could it be that she was a friend of Kiruno?
Well, it's possible that the place where they first met Qiluno was here, and it's not surprising that they knew each other well.
It's just that this time the girl is afraid that she will be disappointed.
Sure enough, after a while, the big goblin came back with a sad face.
"Woo......"
As soon as her feet went limp, she fell to her knees.
"Why am I coming back, but everyone is gone?"
Bean-sized tears rolled down, and the big goblin didn't expect it to be so difficult for him to return to Gensokyo, but they were all gone.
"Don't be sad. ”
I crouched down and touched her little head.
"I don't know where the others were, but if it was that idiot, I knew where she was. ”
"Really? Do you really know where Kirunor is?"
The big goblin grabbed my hand, tears in his eyes filled with joyful anticipation.
I was a little speechless, I couldn't imagine that she knew who I was referring to when I said that, it seems that Qiluno is a fool in the eyes of everyone who knows her!
This makes me feel embarrassed to be a master.
"Come on, I'll take you to her. ”
I stood up and held out my left hand to her.
"Uh-huh. ”
The big goblin hurriedly wiped away his tears and took my hand.
A streamer of light flashed above the Lake of Mist and disappeared into the sky in an instant......
"It's here. ”
I landed in front of the Xingli Hall and let go of the hand holding the little girl.
"Hey, is it here so soon?"
The big goblin quickly opened her eyes and looked at the majestic mansion, and her mouth suddenly couldn't close.
"Nice and beautiful house. ”
In her time in life, she has also learned a lot from television. A mansion of this magnitude seems to be something that only the most expensive human beings can afford to live in!
"Don't be in a daze, let's go inside!"
"Ah, yes, yes. ”
Entering the Xingli Palace, the fragile heart of the big goblin was ruthlessly destroyed again. She became more and more skeptical that she had left Gensokyo again.
"Sit down for a moment, and I'll go and call them back." ”
Seeing the girl sitting there with her hands and feet stiff, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Take it easy, this is also the home of that stupid guy, you don't need to be so nervous. ”
"Well, Lord Dongfang, may I ask you a question?"
The big goblin's expression softened a little, but it still didn't completely relax.
"What is your relationship with Kiruno?"
This is a human dwelling! Why did Kiruno come here?
"I am her master. ”
"Division...... Master?!"
"Hmm. ”
I nodded and walked away, leaving only the big goblin with a stunned face.
I made a phone call with Hikari, but was told that they were already on their way back. This suddenly made me wonder, those guys came back so early, it couldn't have happened to something, right?
It's really unsettling.
"Have a cup of tea, and they'll be back in a minute. ”
I put a cup of tea in front of the elf and sat down across from her.
"Thank you. ”
The big goblin bit his lip and stared at the green tea in the cup, but finally couldn't help it.
"Excuse me, Lord Dongfang, how did you meet Qiluno?"
"Is this...... That's a long story!"
The past is like a book, only when you seriously reminisce, will you suddenly realize that you have experienced so many things before!
While telling the elf the story between me and Kiruno, I felt like I had become a listener.
When I first talked about the part where I moved out of the Hakurei Shrine with Kirino and Mystia, the people who had been waiting for a long time had finally returned.
"Master. ”
"Brother, where are you?"
"Here!"
A rush of footsteps approached, and several petite figures rushed in from the outside and pounced on me.
"Brother Haruka, you're so annoying, why don't you always play with Fran lately?"
Flandrew knelt on my lap, ravaged my face hard, and said in a huff.
"That's right, it's disgusting to leave us alone. ”
Qi Luno and the others are also very angry, even if they go out, they should call them!
"I'm sorry, I apologize, it was me who was wrong. ”
"Hmph, there's no sincerity. ”
"Then add this, it's sincere enough, right?"
When I go out to this world, I don't come home empty-handed.
"Ah, it's a lollipop. ”
Seeing the dozen or so alps in my hand, the dissatisfaction of the little ones immediately vanished, and they began to fight for these things.
"I want this. ”
"That's mine. ”
A dozen lollipops were divided up by the three of them at once, and Lumia, who was a step late, could only stare dryly.
"Oh, and the last one. ”
As if by juggling, I had an extra lollipop in my hand, and Lumia immediately took it away with a quick smile.
(9), I have brought your friend. ”
"Friends?"
Qi Luno blinked, feeling a little strange in his heart, the people he knew were basically here, where were there any friends.
"Qi ...... Cirno. ”
The big goblin saw that as soon as the other party came in, he went to find the Dongfang Lord, and he didn't notice himself for so long, and he suddenly felt very sad.
Kirino turned her head to look at the person in front of her in shock, and the lollipop in her hand quietly fell to the ground......
