"I wonder if it's going to be a good day today?"

Looking at the sky that was gradually shining outside, Mori Kinrinnosuke sighed a little with emotion.

The gloomy days have been going on for several days, and people's mood has become a little cheerful!

"Store manager. ”

Tokiko, who had been looking at a book in front of a bookshelf against the wall, suddenly turned his head sideways.

"Huh?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"Oh, no!"

After listening carefully, the clearest thing was the "popping" noise of the broken window when it was blown by the wind.

"You probably heard it wrong......

Just as he was about to say this, a strong vibration came from the soles of his feet, and he quickly squatted down in fright.

"Again?!"

Gensokyo had frequent earthquakes during this time, and it was about to turn him into a frightened bird.

"It doesn't seem like so!"

The girl, who was faster than him and had already hid under the table one step earlier, turned her face and said.

The earthquake safety knowledge she had read recently made her subconsciously react.

"Hmmm......"

The tremors are still coming, and it is true that as Toki said, this is a little different from the earthquake. It's actually too messy, and there's no pattern at all.

It feels more like a group of large animals running wildly in groups.

"Smack!"

The room was also shaking, and a piece of porcelain painted with a blue pattern on the top of a shelf somewhere might not have been placed before, swayed a few times, and suddenly fell down and shattered on the ground.

"Wow, ahhhh

Mori Rinnosuke shouted and stood up.

"That's the blue and white porcelain that came from the mainland, it's very precious!"

It's rare that I've been collecting it for so many years, but it's been damaged by a strange earthquake.

There is nothing more tragic in life.

"Calm down, manager, it's just a bottle. ”

This kind of thing is not seen to be useful for any other than decoration.

"You know what? It's an antique. ”

Mori Jinrin's heart was like a knife for a while, why did he encounter such bad luck?

"Ahh

There is still a "rustle" of dust overhead, and the house looks quite dangerous!

"Manager, I think it's better for us to go out first, otherwise it won't just be a broken bottle that will be damaged later. ”

"Apologize quickly to my blue and white porcelain. ”

It is extremely hateful to say that his collection is in tatters.

"If I don't go, I want to live and die with Xianglintang. ”

Sometimes, Mori Kinrinnosuke's temper is also unexpectedly quite stubborn!

"Alright, stop talking stupid about that!"

Toki didn't care if he wanted it or not! He grabbed the other party's back collar and dragged him out.

The tremors seemed to come from not very far away, and the occasional howl of some animals could be heard.

"Well, it looks like someone is fighting!"

Mori Konnosuke rolled over, held up his glasses and said.

I'm afraid it's a battle between youkai, otherwise it wouldn't be so fierce.

"Ah, closer. ”

"Huh?"

As Toki said, the tremors suddenly intensified, and the time it came gradually became shorter.

This means that something is running this way.

"Eh, eh!"

The man immediately tensed, and his eyes widened into the depths of the woods ahead.

The girl next to her was still calm at first, but in the end she couldn't hold on anymore and shrank behind him.

After a long time, the sound was already close at hand, but there was still no trace of the other party.

"Didn't you pass through here?"

When I thought so, I noticed that the sky suddenly darkened. Mori Rinnosuke and Toki hurriedly looked up, and saw an incredibly large black shadow leaping from above, and then the sky became clear.

"That's ...... What?"

"It seems to be...... An animal?"

The mouths of the two were wide open, and they couldn't close them for a long time.

If it's an animal, it's amazing!

According to what you can see at a glance, the body length of that thing just now is definitely more than 100 meters.

"Not a dream......"

Rinnosuke Mori slapped his face hard and found that it hurt.

When did such a giant creature appear in Gensokyo, why didn't you hear about it at all?

"Ah, store manager, look. ”

Looking in the direction pointed by the ibis, he saw another boxy object flying overhead.

Because the speed was not as fast as before, I could see it a little more clearly, and it was like a carpet.

Flying carpets.

I could vaguely see that there were many people sitting on it.

"Looks like there's something in trouble again!"

Mori Rinnosuke scratched his head in confusion, although he couldn't see who the person sitting on the flying carpet was, but he probably estimated it.

"Bang. ”

Hearing the sound, the two turned their heads and saw that the plaque hanging on the door had fallen to the ground.

Probably loosened and shaken off!

"Manager, it's better for us to deal with our own troubles first. ”

"Hmmm......"

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

After a round of chasing, we finally caught up with the Ibaraki Hua fan.

However, the distance between him and the Imaizumi Shadow Wolf is gradually widening.

This guy seems to be starting to recover gradually!

"Ah, annoyed, can't you just make this thing fly a little faster?"

Seeing that he was getting farther away from the other party, Reimu couldn't help but get irritable.

If it weren't for the fact that her flight speed didn't have much advantage compared to the flying carpet, she would have acted on her own a long time ago.

"Aren't you usually very capable, stop it for me!"

"No, I can't. ”

I refused her request in one bite.

"Why?"

The witch's expression suddenly became more and more gloomy, and she looked like "If you don't make it clear, eat my punch first".

"Someone won't allow me to meddle in this!"

"Who?"

"Your Ryujin-sama. ”

Then, I raised my hand and pointed at Yakumo Murasaki.

She said. ”

“...... Why are you so obedient at this time?"

Damn, this bastard is clearly only going to hide and watch a good show.

With such a toss, the Izumi Shadow Wolf has run so much that he can't even see the shadow.

"Think of a way!"

Reimu grabbed the man's neck and shook it back and forth.

If you don't hurry, the world will be in ruins!

"Let go, I'm going to be unable to breathe. ”

Fortunately, Yakumo Murasaki and Marisa came over and pulled the shrine maiden away from the violent eruption.

"I really can't help you. ”

I have no choice but to sacrifice this flying carpet!

I didn't expect the first test flight to end up like this, which made people feel quite pitiful.

"Okay, everyone sit tight for me! It's better to hold the person next to me, otherwise I won't care if I'm blown away!"

I pointed to the little girls and sat them down behind me, while the others gathered around them, leaning together as I had said.

"Hold on. ”

I pressed my hand on the flying carpet, and a glowing circle appeared on the outside of my palm, and then many zigzag lines extended from this circle.

"Bang. ”

The speed breaks the sound barrier in an instant.

The flying carpet that had remained in the air suddenly disappeared, leaving only a thunderous roar and a faint circle of waves.

"Wow!"

The huge inertia made everyone lean back uncontrollably, and if it wasn't for the people around him in advance, I was afraid that they would really be thrown out. The strong air current blows the human face a little deformed, and as long as you open your mouth slightly, the wind will immediately fill the inside.

Everyone could only lean down as much as possible to reduce the impact of the air current.

"Wow!"

When everyone was panicking, only Marisa was the calmest, and she even straightened her upper body in excitement and spread her hands.

Because she sometimes uses the "Mini Bagua Furnace" to speed up the magic broom, she is quite comfortable with this speed.

Looks like she really has the potential to become a drag racer!

"It's so cool!"

This kind of lightning speed is really amazing.

"Give me a little faster!!!"

"Stupid, if you dare to speed up, I'll beat you up. ”

The pale miko shouted with a look of fear, this guy is simply dying, and he wants to be faster!

"Ah, Reimu, what are you talking about? I can't hear you!"

All other voices were drowned out by the wind, and Marisa only saw the other's mouth move a few times, but she couldn't hear anything.

Seeing her idiot look, Reimu simply turned her face away, not bothering to pay attention to her.

Turning her head, the girl found something else.

The outer edge of the flying carpet seems to be shrinking rapidly.

"Huh?"

She blinked, and looked at it again.

That's right, the edges of this thing are indeed crumbling little by little, turning into shiny powder that is blown away by the wind.

Reimu pulled Yakumo Purple next to him and pointed in that direction. Yakumo Zi turned his head to look at it, and he couldn't help frowning.

She walked through the crowd and worked hard to get to Dongfang Yao's side.

"Hey, Dongfang, you look like you're going to break!"

Yakumo leaned over and yelled loudly in the other party's ear.

"I know. ”

While it is possible to increase the speed of the flying carpet to exceed the speed of sound, it comes at the cost of making it a one-time consumable.

That's why I don't want to use this cruel model!

"Then come up with a solution?"

Really, why didn't you say it earlier?

"There was no choice but to make a forced landing. ”

"What do you mean by crash landing?"

"And you don't have to worry, huh. ”

I pointed ahead.

"It's already catching up. ”

Yakumo Zi turned his head to look, and in his sight, the back of the Imaizumi Shadow Wolf appeared.

But a little farther in front of it, you can see a village walled by a high wall.

It's almost on earth.

"We should be able to catch up with it before it reaches the village, if nothing else. ”

It's really hard to feel at ease!

"What if something happens?"

"I had to make a forced landing. ”

"Don't say the same thing twice!"

The distance between him and the Imaizumi Shadow Wolf has been greatly shortened.

But at this moment, the flying carpet suddenly trembled.

"You're not going to say it's an accident, is it?"

On the top of Yakumo Purple's head, a drop of sweat suddenly appeared.

"Hmm. ”

I nodded wordlessly.

"Ahhh ”

The shaking became more and more intense, and the speed also decreased rapidly, and when everyone didn't know what to do, the flying carpet suddenly turned into countless points of light and disappeared.

Due to inertia, we continue to fly forward.

"Oh, it's not okay to drive over the speed limit!"

I grabbed Otonai Chiba and put her on my body.

The others also stabilized their figures.

Fortunately, everyone can basically fly, so there is no need to worry about falling.

"Is it time to say something like that leisurely......

"Damn, it's too late. ”

Even if he chased after it with all his might, it seemed that there was no way to stop the Imaizumi Shadow Wolf before it reached the village.

"Don't be discouraged, there must be a way. ”

The man put his hand on Reimu's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, it's too early to give up. ”

Yakumo Zi also stepped forward and did the same action as him.

"You two ......"

The girl was moved by the encouragement of the two for a while, and trembled.

"Roll as far as I can...... Far...... Far ......"
