Episode 116 The Shrine of Silence
In the morning I went out again.
Only this time I didn't run out on my own.
Since I came back from this world, I rarely wandered around Gensokyo alone, and even when I wanted to go out, I would call everyone else along.
In this regard, of course, the happiest are those little ghosts.
However, I left the hall early today, because the dam built by the kappa seemed to have a problem, and one of the hydro generators had failed. They checked for a long time and couldn't find a problem, so they had to call someone to invite me.
I followed Kawashiro to the Fengjin Lake Hydropower Station, where I saw a group of kappa with repair tools tapping left and right on the generator, and quickly drove them away.
After checking for a long time, I finally found out what was wrong.
"The bearings of hydrogenerators are too fragile, so it's better to switch to a metal with a higher strength. Also, the blades of the turbine are slightly bent, which is not a big problem, but it is better to deal with it. ”
"What should I do? ”
Kashiro Kado stopped the record and raised his hand and asked.
"Well, adjust the angle of the inlet and the blades!"
"Oh, I see. ”
She jotted it down quickly, then shouted.
"Metallurgical class, come to me immediately. ”
A group of kappa surrounded them, and Kawashiro Natori gave them a few words and asked them to research new bearing materials.
"Any questions? ”
"Let me think about it. By the way, it's summer, and there is a lot of precipitation, so it's likely to cause flash floods here, so it's best to send someone to watch it day and night, especially on rainy days. Otherwise, if the water in the lake above rises too high, the dam will collapse. ”
"Ah, yes, yes, I forgot all the important things, damn it. ”
Kawajo Natori immediately wrote down these words and put a few asterisks on them.
"Anything else?"
"Hmm...... Without. ”
I pondered for a moment and shook my head.
"Thank you so much, if it weren't for the presence of adults, we wouldn't know what to do!"
The girl bowed to me with a grateful face.
"It's the first time you do this kind of thing, and you will inevitably encounter all kinds of problems, so just pay more attention. ”
"I must have taken your words to heart. ”
It seems that the kappa is still under the influence of those tengu reporters! Whatever he thinks is important, he remembers everything.
Slightly different, kappa only record useful information, while tengu only record interesting information.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, and if there's any more questions, come back to me!"
When I came out, I agreed with Qi Luno that I would definitely go back before noon, and now it's almost noon, and if I don't hurry, I will be pinched by them again.
Now Flandoro pinched my face whenever I upset her, and the others seemed to be learning from her.
This is an unhealthy trend, and it must be corrected quickly.
"Are you going back so soon?"
Kawashiro felt a little regretful, if she hadn't been available, she might have to go to Kamine Island with the other party.
"Lord Dongfang, I'll send you out. ”
"No need, I'll do it myself!"
"It's okay, it's just a few steps. ”
Kawashiro was about to take me out when a kappa girl came running with an electric fan.
"Director, the things that Kanako-sama gave us have already been repaired, so why don't you send them now?"
"No, I'll take it later. ”
Kawashiro Lottori waved his hand, he was very busy now! Anyway, they weren't at the shrine now, so it didn't matter if they were sent later.
"Okay. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
The girl was just about to take the fan away, but I stopped her.
"I'll send it to you. ”
I took the fan from her hand and said.
Watching a group of kappa running around, I was the only one who was the most idle here.
"How can that be done, how can such a small thing bother you?"
When Kawajo heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"It's okay, I was going to visit the shrine before I went back, and I happened to be on the way. ”
"Well, please. ”
Seeing me say this, Kawashiro Nitori didn't insist anymore. There are so many things to do, she doesn't want to make time for the past two days, since the other party is willing to help, why not?
"Alright, go about your business!"
I waved my hand and walked out of the generator room.
Actually, I didn't plan to go to Moriya Shrine because I said it casually. But since she has already promised her, of course she has to make a special trip.
Walking on the steep approach, turn around and look at the Lake of the Wind God, which is much wider than before, and many trees on the shore have been flooded. As for the location of our picnic last autumn, it was even more unknown how many meters deep it was.
Although the construction of the hydroelectric power plant provided a new source of energy for the tengu and others, it also destroyed the environment.
"There will be gains and losses!"
With a sigh and remembering what I had to do, I continued my walk up the hill.
"Anyone?"
Standing in front of the shrine and shouting, the surroundings were quiet, and I didn't hear a response for a long time.
"Is there really no one?"
I laughed at myself, they probably all went to the Xingli Hall today! But I didn't meet them on the road, I guess I didn't leave until I came to the hydropower station!
The door was closed, and I had to put the fan in the aisle outside.
"Ah......h
I only heard an exclamation from behind the shrine, accompanied by the sound of falling objects of "Ping Pong".
There are people in the back.
I blinked and ran briskly towards the back of the shrine.
There seems to be a place for miscellaneous items to be piled up at Moriya Shrine, but unlike Hakurei Shrine, its utility room is one with the shrine and belongs to the second half of the main hall.
The utility room is also full of things, maybe even more than there is at Hakurei Shrine. However, at this time, it was as if there was an earthquake, and all the items on one of the shelves fell down. One of the owners of the shrine, another shrine maiden from Gensokyo, Sanae Toshiya Toshiya, was sitting on the floor with her right foot covered with her right foot.
"Are you alright?"
I was taken aback when I saw her like this, and hurried in.
"Ah, Lord Dongfang, why are you here?"
Sanae Kazuya looked at me with her mouth wide open, as if she was surprised why I was at Moriya Shrine at this time.
"I'm here to help the kappa return that fan. ”
I replied, holding out my hand to pull her up.
"Oh. ”
Sanae Kazuya's eyes flashed and she grabbed my hand.
With a single force, I pulled her up.
"What are you doing here?"
I let her go and looked at the utility room, which, like the one at Hakurei Shrine, was full of strange things.
"I was trying to find the wind chimes that were placed here, but I accidentally knocked something off the shelf...... Alas!"
As soon as Sanae was about to walk around, she felt a sharp pain in her calf, and her foot fell down with a stumble, so I quickly reached out and helped her.
"Your feet?"
"Well, it seems to hurt. ”
The girl's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply, just now a hard thing smashed into her calf, I'm afraid she was injured because of it.
"I'll take a look at it for you!"
I brought a wooden box from the side and sat on it.
Sanae bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, before she lifted her skirt with a shy face, revealing her smooth and jade-like calves.
There was a place on the surface of the snow-white calf that was already swollen, and it was dark and blue, and only her brow jumped.
"It's a bit strict!"
I poked the wound with my finger, and Sanae's feet shook violently, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
"Doesn't it hurt. ”
"Nope. ”
She's such a strong girl, she can still laugh even then.
I stopped talking and put my left hand on top of her wound.
The hazy white glow flickered, and the shocking bruise grew lighter and lighter, and soon, it was all invisible, and the bruised wound returned to the same skin color as the one around it.
"Alright. ”
I stood up and said.
Sanae Dongfangu touched her injured calf in surprise, except for a little numbness, the pain was indeed no longer felt.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of blocking her, she stood up and jumped lightly a few times.
"It's really totally good!"
The girl said in surprise.
"The wound was healed so quickly, the magic is really incredible!"
"Hehehe. ”
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you, Lord Dongfang. ”
Sanae Dongfangu was happy for a long time before remembering that she hadn't thanked the other party yet, so she hurriedly bowed.
"Nothing. ”
I smiled and shook my head.
"What about the other two?"
"Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama have gone to the Hoshiriden Temple! Why, haven't you met them, my lord?"
"Nope. Then why did you stay and not go with them?"
"This ......"
Sanae of Dongfengya smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
"As a shrine maiden at Shouya Shrine, I can't go out all the time, that will have a very bad impact on the shrine. ”
Although Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Miya both said it didn't matter, she still didn't go along.
"Well, that's true. But the two of them left you and ran to play, it's too much!"
"That's not the case, I left it on my own free will. ”
Sanae of Dongfeng Valley was in a hurry, and she was busy defending her two gods.
"Anyway, as long as they're happy. ”
"What about you?"
"I ......"
The girl's expression couldn't help but be in a trance.
"The happiness of Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama is my happiness. ”
can feel that Sanae Dongfenggu said these words from the bottom of his heart, without any deception.
"You're such a good girl!"
I secretly sighed, if one day those guys in the family can think of me like this, it will be really thankful.
"I ...... I'll make you a cup of tea. ”
Sanae of Dongfeng Valley blushed and ran away in a hurry.
When she finished making tea and was about to send it to Dongfang Yao, she found that the other party was sitting in the aisle outside the house, and there was a wooden box next to it, which contained the things she had dropped before.
"What are these things for?"
Seeing her come out, I asked. This pile of strange rags doesn't seem to be of much use!
"These were all picked up by Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama, and I don't know what they are used for. ”
Sanae of Dongfengya knelt down and put down the tray in her hand.
These things were useless, and the two adults didn't let her throw them away, so they had to pile up in the utility room.
"Lord Dongfang, please have tea. ”
"Oh, thanks. ”
I took the teacup and placed it on the floor.
I took out a tengu mask with a particularly long nose from the box, looked at it for a while, and put it on my face.
"Poof. ”
Sanae of Dongfeng Valley suddenly laughed out loud.
"Isn't that weird?"
I couldn't help laughing, those two gods really collected a lot of inexplicable items!
"Nope. ”
The girl couldn't help but laugh and shook her head.
"It's just that after you put on the mask, you feel more like a tengu than Miss Wenwen and the others. ”
"Hehehehehe. ”
I put the Tengu mask back in the box and picked up the cup that was next to me.
"Lord Dongfang, what kind of world do you think this world is?"
Ever since she knew that Dongfang Yao had been to the outside world, Sanae Dongfang Valley had been haunting this question in her heart, but it was only now that she finally had the opportunity to ask.
"To be honest, I don't like that kind of world, it's too noisy for me. ”
I held my teacup and looked at the clouds in the sky.
"I'm still more used to places like Gensokyo, quiet, peaceful, and uninhibited. ”
"Yes, Lord Dongfang is really amazing! he adapted to life here so quickly, and he got along so well with everyone. My words, not at all. ”
Sanae Dongfangya smiled a little bitterly, she was also an outsider, and the other party had completely integrated into Gensokyo, but she felt that she was still wandering between the two worlds.
"Do you want to go back to the outside world?"
I understand her thoughts, as a person living in modern times, it is indeed not easy to live such an ancient life.
"I don't want to. ”
The girl's answer was so firm that I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Why?"
"Because Kanako-sama, they're here. ”
Sanae replied with a serious face.
"Stupid one. ”
I reached out my fist and smacked it on the top of her head.
"Don't use them as excuses!"
"What?"
Sanae touched her head, feeling confused.
"Don't keep saying, 'That's why I'm doing this because of them,' sometimes you should think about what you think about yourself and whether you want to do that or not. ”
"My own thoughts?"
"That's right. Do you like Gensokyo or not? What do you think of the people here? If you don't understand these questions, of course you'll feel lost. ”
"I ......"
"It's only from your perspective that you understand what it really means to be here. ”
I took a sip of my tea and continued to count the clouds in the sky.
Sanae of the East Wind Valley kept her head down, probably thinking about what I said.
"Sanae, we're back. ”
"I'm back!"
Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Kushiya appeared at the entrance to the shrine, both panting as if they had gone through a round of intense exercise.
"I've won again, Suwako, have you thrown in the towel this time?"
"It's not fair, your feet are longer than mine, and of course you run faster than me. ”
"It's better because you're too short......"
Seeing that the two of them had actually returned, Sanae of Dongfenggu suddenly stood up in surprise.
"Kanako-sama, Suwako-sama, why did you come back so quickly?"
"Because Sanae is not here, it always feels like something is missing!"
"We're going to have to get something to drink. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Didn't you say it yourself?' 'I'll go for something to drink, so I brought Sanae with me if I knew about it.'" ”
"I didn't say that. ”
"Absolutely. ”
"Kanako-sama, Suwako-sama, you are really. ”
Sanae Dongfang is happy and depressed at the same time, and the way these two adults care for themselves is still so strange.
"Hey, Dongfang, you're here too?"
After arguing with Suwako for a long time, Kanako Yasaka finally found out that there was another person here.
"Why, can't you?"
"How, welcome!"
"Kanako, hurry up and let me go. ”
I heard that Dongfang Haruka is here, and Suwako Miya also wants to take a look, but her head is pressed by Kanako Yasaka with both hands, and she can't turn if she wants to.
"It's okay to let go, but you're going to admit that you've lost to me. ”
"Dreaming. ”
"Really, let's see how long you can hold out. ”
"Ah, two adults, don't do this. ”
I didn't think that anyone else was there, Yasaka Kanako and Suwako were still making a fuss like that, and Sanae of Dongfengya hurriedly ran to persuade them.
"What a lively family!"
Put the cup down, it's time for me to go back too.
"Hey, Dongfang, are you leaving?"
Realizing that I was leaving, three pairs of eyes immediately turned to me.
"yes!"
"How's that going to work? ”
The two gods let go of their hands at the same time and ran over and grabbed me.
"It's rare to come to our shrine, of course, you have to have a few drinks with us. ”
"But didn't we just drink it yesterday?"
"That's different. ”
Yasaka Kanako shook her head, there were so many people at the banquet, she couldn't say a few words to the other party.
This time it was different, and there was no need to worry about someone suddenly running and pulling him away.
"Sanae, go get some side dishes to drink. ”
"Yes, Suwako-sama. ”
Sanae Kazuya bent down with a smile on her face and walked towards the kitchen.
"I really should go back. ”
"What's the hurry, those guys can't die after seeing you for a while. ”
"Let's go, let's go. ”
Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Miyaya teamed up and pushed me into the house.
"By the way, Suwako, go get the sake quickly. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm too short to get it. ”
“...... You can't fly, stupid. ”
"You're stupid! ”
"You're looking for a fight. ”
Looking at the two gods with big eyes and small eyes, I suddenly felt that this time the wine might not be very stable......
