Episode 73 Return to the place of memory
"Why?"
This sudden news made Alice a little stunned for a while, Ming Luo is the only person she can talk to now, if she is gone, then who else can talk to her in the future?
"Because there's one thing I have to do. ”
Not noticing the gloom in Alice's eyes, Ming Luo said to himself.
Young and frivolous, everyone did something more or less when they were young and felt very ridiculous when they think about it, which cannot be said to be good or bad, but the process that must be passed through to grow up.
Growth comes at a price.
Ming Luo was the same when she was young, at that time, in order to get a power called "Hakurei Power", she once challenged the person who guarded Gensokyo, the thirteenth generation of Hakurei witch, but the result was that she was defeated by the other party lightly.
This is not a big deal, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, since she lost, it means that her skills are not as good as others. What Ming Luo couldn't see was that from beginning to end, the bad witch was treating the battle between them with an extremely frivolous attitude.
In the end, she was frightened and fled because of her words.
Every time he thought about it, Ming Luo felt that his heart was dripping blood.
This revenge is not a gentleman, although she is not a gentleman, but she has suffered such a great shame, if she does nothing, then she is really sorry for the sword in her hand.
She traveled thousands of miles to the Demon Realm and ran to the Demon Realm for many years of hard training, but all of them were in vain.
Looking at Ming Luo's eyes, Alice knew that the other party had made up her mind, and there was no point in saying more now.
Moreover, if it weren't for her reasons, Ming Luo might have left here a long time ago.
"Miss Alice, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she looked depressed, Mingluo didn't know what to do, so he asked.
"It's fine. ”
Alice smiled and shook her head.
"Since you insist on leaving, then I won't force you to stay. ”
"Well, don't worry, I'll definitely come back here to see you when I'm done. ”
Ming Luo is also very reluctant to separate from Alice, but this matter has been decided by her early on, and if it continues to drag on, it will have a great impact on her practice.
"Oh. ”
Hearing her say this, Alice's face looked a little better.
"Are you leaving? ”
Feeling that the time was almost up, Shenqi and the succubus immediately appeared.
"Lord Shenqi, Lord Succubus. ”
Seeing that it was the two of them, Ming Luo quickly stood up.
"Mom. ”
"Hmm. ”
Shenqi looked at her beloved daughter, and the endless warmth in her eyes suddenly made Alice feel much more comfortable.
"Mingluo, are you going to leave tomorrow?"
She turned her head and asked the samurai.
"Yes. ”
Ming Luo nodded respectfully.
"It's a pity, I wish you could stay a little longer!"
Although I don't feel very happy that this guy is always with Alice, but if she is really gone, Shenqi also understands that Alice will definitely be sad in that way.
"I'm sorry, but there are some things I have to do. ”
"In that case...... Well, you come with me. ”
"Yes. ”
Despite his doubts, Ming Luo followed Shenqi into a room.
The door closed, leaving only Alice, wide-eyed, and an indifferent succubus.
"Well, I wonder how that stupid apprentice of mine is doing now, every time she disappears without saying anything, she must feel very angry, right?"
The succubus, who was so bored that she was floating around, said casually, and Alice heard it, and her body shook slightly.
"With that guy by her side, how could she have a bad life!"
Alice said expressionlessly.
"Well, that's right. ”
The succubus looked at her meaningfully, only to see that Alice felt uncomfortable all over her body, and quickly turned her attention to other places.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and Shenqi and Mingluo walked out of it one after another.
"Then Alice will leave it to you. ”
The succubus looked at Alice and said to Minro.
"Pledge with my life. ”
The young samurai knelt on one knee and stood in front of the sword, making the most formal vow to her.
"Mom, Sister Mingluo, what did you just say?"
Alice, confused, looked at them, unable to figure out what they had just said in the room.
"Xiao Ai, tomorrow, you and Ming Luo will go together. ”
Shenqi sobbed, feeling that his nose was sour, and he always wanted to shed tears.
"Huh?!"
Alice's mouth opened wide and could no longer close.
In the evening, in order to bid farewell to Alice and Minro, an extremely grand banquet was held. Faced with the fact that her daughter was about to leave her side again, Shenqi, who was full of reluctance, hugged Alice all night and was unwilling to let go, and cried a lot. After getting drunk, she kept shouting things like "Xiaoai don't go", if it wasn't for Mengzi and they took her to rest in time, she might have to make trouble all night.
The sadness of parting made everyone drunk.
The next morning.
"Remember to wear extra layers when it's cold, you know?"
"Hmm. ”
"Remember to eat three meals a day on time, and don't let your stomach go hungry. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
"If someone dares to bully you, come back and sue me, and my mother will help you teach him a hard lesson, understand?"
"Uh-huh. ”
With every word she spoke, Alice nodded mechanically, the only reaction she could make.
"And ......"
The god of the demon world "and" for a long time, but found that she no longer had the words to tell her, which made her very frustrated, and she still had a lot to say to her children!
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of myself. ”
Alice felt that her mother was making a fuss, she had lived alone for so many years, didn't she even know how to deal with these things?
"Well, then you're going to come back once a year, oh no, twice. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Alice is very helpless in her heart, when parents seem to encounter their children going far away, they will become so verbose.
"Forget it, I'll write back every month, so it's all right?"
"Ah, that's a great idea. ”
Shenqi's eyes suddenly lit up, why didn't he think of this good idea?
Well, I'll have to send the two Snow Dance sisters or Luise to Gensokyo every month in the future.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. ”
Alice looked at Shenqi with reluctance in her eyes.
Hearing her say that she wanted to return to Gensokyo, Alice was a little hesitant at first, but Shenqi's words made her make up her mind.
"Your people are here, but your heart is in another place. ”
"If you're not happy, Alice will be sad too. ”
"Let's go, your home is here, but the outside world is where you should be. ”
Alice didn't say anything more, just hugged her mother and shed tears for the night.
"Well, you have to be careful on the road!"
Shenqi kept snorting, but no tears flowed.
I cried so much last night that I seemed to have dried up my tears.
Alice stared at her for a long time, then suddenly took a step forward and hugged her tightly.
"I love you, Mom. ”
The girl turned and sped away, dropping a few transparent droplets of water in the air.
Ming Luo bowed deeply to Shenqi and hurried to catch up with her.
Shenqi looked at the two people who were drifting away, and tears welled up in an instant.
There are two sides to everything.
As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the fog of the Lost Bamboo Forest not only provides this land with its ability to conceal, but also gives great trouble to the people who live here. Due to the thick fog here, the humidity here is much higher than in Gensokyo during the rainy season.
It's just too inconvenient for people who live in the Lost Bamboo Forest.
Especially a girl who likes to play with fire, what she hates the most is this wet and greasy weather.
In addition to this, there is her nemesis.
Her Royal Highness has been in a terrible mood lately, and the rain has been falling non-stop, which is nothing short of torture for her who loves to stay at home.
The moisture-proof function of the Forever Pavilion is really not particularly outstanding, although Bayi Yonglin has tried his best, but Penglai Mountain Huiye still can't stand it.
"If only there had been a second floor. ”
Bayi Yonglin has thought this more than once, but if she goes to build it now, when it is done, I am afraid that the summer will be over!
Unthinkable, she had no choice but to take Her Royal Highness the Princess and the others to the Xingli Palace.
The only place in Gensokyo that hasn't been hit by the late spring tide is here.
"Although it is very polluted by filth, it is barely okay as my hotel. ”
Penglai Mountain Kaguya didn't consciously say the above to the master here, and was almost kicked out.
A few people stayed on Shengen Island for several days, and later, even Fujiwara Meihong, who came to the door to find Penglai Mountain Kaguya, actually stayed.
The guys seem to be looking for a vacation spot.
And it's free.
"General. ”
"Eh......"
Penglai Shan Huiye's eyes immediately widened, as if he couldn't believe that he had lost again.
"Oh, hehehe. ”
Fujiwara Meihong can't help but be unhappy! Five wins and two losses, she is three sets ahead of her opponent.
A big win like never before.
She felt that it was best to write down this matter later, and often show it in the future for Penglai Mountain Huiye to see, which would definitely anger her.
"Wait...... Wait a minute, I just made a mistake and started again. ”
Penglai Shan Huiye was a little panicked, why was her luck so bad today, and she repeatedly lost to this guy in chess.
"What, you want to repent again? You're so despicable. ”
Fujiwara Meihong was immediately furious, and she wanted to beat up this bastard immediately.
"Who do you say is despicable? You must have used some kind of trick just now, otherwise how could this princess lose to a fool like you?"
Penglai Mountain Kaguya also knew that she was at fault, but she just didn't want to admit defeat to Fujiwara Meihong.
It would be better to kill her.
"Damn, it's clear that you have gone back on your word, and you dare to slander me. ”
Angry to the extreme, Fujiwara Meihong laughed instead.
"Don't think about it this time, you lost dog. ”
"If you dare to say it again, I want you to look good. ”
Penglai Mountain Huiye, who originally felt that she was at a loss, was suddenly annoyed and angry, and she was most taboo for others to call herself a mourning dog.
Fujiwara sister red this is knowingly committing a crime.
"Come on, I'm going to burn you to ashes this time. ”
A few people who were still watching with relish saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came over to persuade them.
"Okay, okay, it's just for fun, and it's not worth it to get into a fight. ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess. ”
"Everybody calm down. ”
Kamibai Ze Huiyin and Ling Xian talked a lot, and finally quieted down these two hot-tempered guys.
"This time you will definitely lose and beg for mercy. ”
"Hmph, that's what I should say. ”
The chess game continued, but with each move, Fujiwara Meihong and Pengraiya had to have a verbal confrontation first.
Shangbai Zehuiyin looked at them, shaking her head and sighing.
Alice stood in front of the door of the Star Hall and reached out several times to ring the doorbell, but eventually withdrew her hand.
"Master, what are you hesitating about?"
She had already come here, and Shanghai didn't understand why she had become timid instead.
"No, I'm just ......"
Alice pursed her lips, but couldn't say anything to contradict her.
She stood outside for more than ten minutes, and when Alice made up her mind to ring the doorbell, the door opened.
Marisa's head poked out of it, and when she saw that it was her, she froze.
Alice had been brewing for a long time, and finally said something else.
"Hi Marisa, I'm back. ”
"Bang. ”
She was answered by a slamming door.
Looking at the closed door, the expression on Alice's face froze suddenly.
I heard a strange scream from inside, and soon, the whole house was boiling.
After a minute, the door of the Xingli Hall opened again, and a man walked out of the house with more than a dozen people and stood in front of her.
Alice looked at them, her hands clenched unconsciously.
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak for a long time.
In the end, it was the man who broke the silence first.
"Welcome back. ”
"I ......"
Alice hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the other with moist eyes.
"I'm back. ”
