Episode 87 The Dragon God's Wish
[[[CP|W:250|H:190|A:C|U:http://file1.biquge.info/chapters/20133/22/1515002634995843371432500784401.jpg
Ryujin has always wanted to create a world where humans and youkai can coexist peacefully.
After all, both sides are important residents of Gensokyo, and the dragon god doesn't want to see them kill each other and eventually lead one or even both sides to disappear, which is really sad.
She believes that someone has to break the deadlock.
However, the successive generations of Hakurei witches and realm monsters who she had high hopes for were unable to realize this wish. They did their best just to protect the peace of Gensokyo and not let it collapse.
Where is there any mind to do anything else?
In fact, the dragon god himself understands that the grudge between humans and demons for thousands of years cannot be eliminated so easily.
However, she still has something to look forward to, looking forward to the day when she can really see the scene she dreamed of.
And now, it seems that this wish of hers has really come true.
Although the monsters that have entered the human world are only a small part, it also shows that the conflict between humans and monsters is slowly easing.
Maybe one day it can really be completely dissolved.
This is exactly what Ryujin has been looking forward to.
It's just that she doesn't know who is the person who made this qiē change, otherwise she really wants to thank the other party in person.
"Can humans and youkai really coexist?"
Grandma was still struggling with this question, she thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head.
"Twelve, in fact, you should change this mind. ”
Seeing the confusion on her face, the dragon god said to her.
"Huh?"
"Why don't you think about it, why can't humans and youkai coexist?"
The girl looked at her and said meaningfully.
Youkai eat people, and humans can only destroy youkai in order to protect themselves. This never-ending cycle of death still needs someone to break it after all.
"Or maybe the world has changed, because someone has such a concept!"
Although the road ahead is still full of bumps, as soon as someone walks past, the followers behind will follow one after another. One day, Gensokyo will become a true paradise for humans, youkai, and goblins.
This is the creator of Gensokyo, the only wish of the dragon god.
"Hmmm......"
Grandma didn't refute Ryujin's words, because she believed that what the other party said must be right. After all, she was just a small human being, and it was impossible for her to have the far-sighted vision of Lord Ryujin.
"Ahh
The girl waved her long sleeves, now is a time to be happy! How can she always say something so boring?
"Hmm. ”
But even if she said so, the expression of the previous generation of shrine maidens was still a little trance.
This guy seems to be easily obsessed with the past!
The dragon god couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
"Hey, Twelve. ”
"Do you have any instructions?"
Grandma was shouted by her and immediately came back to her senses.
"I'm a little hungry, so let's go buy some dumplings and come back. ”
"Huh, Dango?"
The woman blinked, and her heart was confused for a while, would Lord Ryujin also eat such a thing?
"That's right, you hurry up and buy it. ”
The girl said to her in an unquestioning tone.
"I ...... I understand. ”
Although I don't know what the other party is thinking, since she asks for it, Grandma has no choice but to do it.
However, after looking around the neighborhood, she was frustrated to find that the two of them seemed to have run to a square in the center of the village, and there was not even a single shop around it, and she couldn't find the dumplings that the dragon god wanted.
"I remember that there used to be a shop here that made very good dumplings, but I don't know if they are still there. ”
Suddenly, I remembered that when she came to the village to buy daily necessities, she would occasionally visit that store.
Also, she didn't seem to be here alone at that time, and it felt like she was bringing another person with her.
Grandma tried her best to recall, and something vague in her mind gradually became clear, and finally turned into a strange smile.
"Grandma......"
"Ahh
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing her holding her head and her body still shaking, the dragon god asked.
"Well, nothing. ”
Grandma shook her head vigorously and let go of her hand.
"It's just that I seem to remember something again. ”
Memories of the past don't seem to be all gone, they just sleep in the depths of the mind, and some pop up from time to time.
"Oh. ”
The maiden did not ask her what she remembered, and if she wanted to, she would naturally tell herself.
"Then, Lord Ryujin, wait a minute, I'll be there for a while, and I'll be back soon. ”
"Oh, I'll be waiting for you over there. ”
This square is relatively less crowded, and there are a few benches, which is the perfect place to rest.
"Don't run around!"
Even though it was clear that no one could threaten her safety, it was still not very reassuring to let Ryujin stay here alone!
"Okay, okay, are you a child?"
The dragon god couldn't help but push Grandma, older people just like to worry about it.
"Go ahead, don't keep us waiting too long. ”
"Hmm. ”
Grandma had no choice but to bow deeply to the other party and leave the square in a hurry.
After more than ten years of development, the world has changed a lot, but there are still some traces of the old times. With the traces in these memories, Grandma didn't get lost.
However, there was no way to find the previous dumpling shop, and she found another one, which should have been opened in recent years.
"Please take it. ”
Despite being a little intimidated by the strange masked guest, the owner quickly packed up several bunches of dumplings and placed them in front of her.
Grandma paid the money, picked up the dumplings, and rushed back immediately.
She stopped abruptly as she passed a deserted-looking shop.
"Fog and rain prop shop!"
She looked at the name of the shop, hesitated, and finally walked in.
The shop is very clean, and there are various props in the cabinet against the wall. Most of them are made by humans, and some of them are not of use, so they must have been made by kappa!
Grandma's gaze stopped at a white fox mask hanging on the wall.
The mask is so exquisitely made that it even looks like a living fox face. The strange smile on his face seemed to mock the ignorance of the world.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help with?"
A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and Grandma suddenly turned around to find a smiling man standing behind her. He was tall, dressed in a long black robe, and his whole body was surrounded by a very strange atmosphere.
"Hmmm......"
The girl was a little surprised, she remembered that when she came in, there was no one in the store!
Did you come in with yourself?
"Huh?"
The man looked at her slightly, as if waiting for her answer.
"No, I'm just looking at it casually. ”
Although she was indeed interested in the fox mask, the dumplings she had just bought had already spent the little money she had left.
Despite all the regrets, Grandma still had to choose to give up.
She reluctantly glanced at the mask one last time and walked away from the prop shop quickly.
The man looked at her back from afar, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After a while, another man with glasses came out of the back room.
"Oh, I almost lost my life. ”
Mori Konnosuke clutched his stomach and sighed weakly.
"It's amazing how delicious the pufferfish meat is, but so poisonous. ”
"I'm surprised that you can still be safe from poisonous pufferfish!"
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him like this.
"How can I be safe and sound? I've been squatting in the toilet for a long time! Oh no, here we ...... again."
Mori Kinrinnosuke's face changed suddenly, and he turned around and ran back to the back room.
"Whoa, hap, unlucky fellow. ”
He was poisoned by eating pufferfish, so his luck was too bad, right?
However, who made him forget to remove the liver of the pufferfish, that thing is highly poisonous!
Looks like I'll only be able to help him look around the store for a while.
Even after taking the medicine I gave him, Mori Rinnosuke squatted in the toilet for most of the day before he finally got rid of all the toxins in his body. When he came out, his whole body shrunk a lot, his face was pale, he walked swayingly, and he felt that a gust of wind could blow him down.
"Today, let's close early!"
Now that he's like this, he really can't continue to work, and I can't keep watching for him.
"Oh, then I'll go first!"
It's been a long time before the kids get out of school, and I don't want to stay here waiting for them, so I'd better go back first.
"Well, thank you so much for helping me look at the store for so long today!"
Mori Kinrinnosuke, who had just sat down, immediately stood up trembling again.
"By the way, can you lend me this rod?"
When I was bored, I looked at the props in the store and found that there was a fishing rod that suited my taste very well.
"Take it if you like. ”
It's just a fishing rod anyway, no big deal.
Besides, a large part of the items here can't be sold, so it's better to give them away.
"Thank you so much. ”
I took the rod in my hand and pressed it in one of the places on it, and with a "pop", the contracted part popped out, and the rod immediately became several times longer.
The shaft is made of an unknown alloy, which is very hard, but it is so light that it feels almost impossible to hold in your hand. The material used for the fishing wire is also very special, like some kind of spider silk. I don't know what kind of spider's silk is so thick. With this fishing rod, even if you want to lift an object weighing hundreds of pounds, it is probably a breeze.
"This must be a kappa-made zuò. ”
With such a delicate structure, it is impossible for humans to do it.
"Well, it should be. ”
The physical discomfort slowed down the store manager's reaction ability by several beats.
"Then I'll go first, and we'll have a drink together sometime!"
"Well, I'll definitely go when I have time. ”
Put away the fishing gear, say goodbye to him, and leave the prop shop.
Rinnosuke Mori tidied up the store and planned to leave. He looked at the cabinet where the fishing rods had been placed, and suddenly remembered something.
According to the kappa who brought the fishing rod, the fishing rod was made of the silk of a soil spider monster that lived underground, and the spider did not know how many years it had lived, and even its silk had an extremely strong evil aura attached to it. Using this rod, not only will you not catch fish, but you will also attract something that is not very clean.
It seems that the people who have used this fishing rod have had some accidents, big or small.
However, the kappa was vague about this, and only said a word to him.
"It's a fishing rod that will attract misfortune!"
“......”
Thinking of this, Mori Kinrinnosuke suddenly fell silent. It was a long time before he put his glasses on his hand.
"Ah, I don't know anything......"
