In the slightly dimly lit room, an oil lamp on the table emitted a faint glow. The girl's face looked a little distorted under the flickering light, and at first glance, it couldn't help but make people feel weird.

The owner of Suzuna-an hid in the room and watched for a long time before he frowned and lowered the curtain that had been opened a little.

"How's it going?

The woman who had been waiting in the back immediately stepped forward and asked, and in order not to be heard by outsiders, she deliberately kept her voice down. Even so, the anxiety is clear at a glance.

"To be precise, it has become stricter. ”

The man's brow furrowed, this matter came too suddenly.

Since the first two days, Motoi's behavior has become a little weird.

Although she was very fond of reading, she definitely did not reach the point where she almost forgot to sleep and eat.

Moreover, there is always some disturbing atmosphere of uncertainty around her.

It feels like I'm attached to something bad.

Could it be that it is evil?

The man's heart couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I went to a shrine in the mountains. ”

There is no way for him to solve this kind of thing, so he can only find someone who is specifically responsible for dealing with this situation.

That is, the shrine maiden.

"Okay. ”

"Look at Suzu, don't let her run around. ”

"I know, you can go and come back quickly!"

"Hmm. ”

The man nodded and left Suzuna-an through the back door.

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

I searched for it at the geyser, but of course, I found nothing.

What a wasted effort!

Then follow the moving route of the ancient name of the land love, but unconsciously arrived in the world.

This child's unconscious wandering range is too broad.

When they arrived in the village, the ancient names and Lingwu Lukong began to shout that they were tired again, and they couldn't bear their pleading, so they had to find a place to rest for a while.

"Woo. ”

When I took a big bite of the takoyaki stained with a special sauce, a mellow aroma was released in my mouth, making the eyes of Konaji Ai almost squint.

"Delicious!"

This feeling of elasticity is really addictive!

"I'll give it to you, too!"

Seeing that she was eating so happily, I simply put my share next to her.

My word, just a cup of tea is enough.

"Is that okay?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you're welcome. ”

It was not the ancient name of the land that spoke, but the Lingwu Lukong.

She really took those takoyaki for herself!

"Hey, Sora, that's what the big brother gave me, give it back to me. ”

Of course, the girl didn't follow, and rushed over to snatch back what belonged to her.

"I've eaten too much. ”

Lingwu Lukong tried his best to hide the things behind him, but the ancient name was short-handed, and he couldn't get it back for a while.

"If you eat so much, you'll get fat!" said Rin to me. ”

"That's what she's criticizing you, right? Give it back to me, you bird's head. ”

The two girls twisted into a ball on the street for such a portion of takoyaki.

"Ah, what a child! ”

The green few who were sitting nearby looked gloating, this matter had nothing to do with them, so it was better to watch the excitement.

"You're the kids!"

The same person who was in the Earth Spirit Temple, of course, couldn't stand the jokes of others, and couldn't help but feel the same hatred for the enemy, and immediately fought back.

The two sides just went back and forth, and began to launch verbal attacks.

"Boom. ”

These girls are really so noisy no matter where they go!

"Boss, another cup of tea. ”

"Yes, please wait. ”

The River City sisters also kept shaking their heads, but they didn't seem to intend to step forward to stop them.

"But it's really strange! Gensokyo doesn't have a sea, why are there octopuses?"

Kawajo muttered vaguely as he chewed the food in his mouth.

"Well, these things have only started to appear frequently in the past year!"

Kawajo Hatori also felt strange, and when she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and turned her head to look at Dongfang Haruka.

It can't be related to him, right?

The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.

Only he can take out a steady stream of things that don't exist in Gensokyo!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Kawajo Natori was always staring at me, I couldn't help but ask her.

"Ah, nothing, nothing. ”

The girl shook her head, it didn't matter what the real situation was, as long as it was good for herself and the others in Gensokyo.

"Now, Lord Dongfang, where should we go next?"

It's almost time to rest, so let's hurry up and help the ancient name to find the book!

"Hmmm......"

I don't have a clue about that!

It's like a headless fly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Someone's apology rang out in my ears, and I turned my head to see a man bowing to another.

I guess I walked too fast and accidentally bumped into each other!

Well, isn't that person the father of Suzu Motoi?

Because I met him a few times when I went to Suzuna-an, I still know him.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, there was still deep worry between his eyebrows, did he encounter something?

After the man apologized repeatedly, he hurriedly ran again.

"Hello. ”

After thinking about it, I opened my mouth and shouted as he passed in front of me.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, someone greeted him, and the other party was obviously a little surprised. After realizing that it was me, he quickly stopped and bent down deeply.

"It's Dongfang-sama, I'm so sorry, I didn't even find you!"

The man kept his head down and said apologetically.

"Well, it's okay, seeing that you're in such a hurry, where are you going to go later?"

"That's right, there's something wrong with the little girl, and now I'm going to invite the witch on the mountain to take a look!"

The other party answered my question respectfully.

"Oh. ”

It's Honju Kosuzu what's going on!

However, if you're just not feeling well, you shouldn't need to call Reimu, right?

I'm afraid there is something else going on.

"Is she in trouble, if you can, you might as well tell me about it. ”

He opened the book borrowing house, and I borrowed so many books from him, so I should help him when I was in trouble.

"Ah, this ......"

The man wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the other party's ability, he couldn't help but hesitate.

To be able to get his assistance must be much easier than running all the way to find the shrine maiden.

It would be foolish to be polite at this time.

"I'm so ashamed that I can only have Master Lao go once. ”

"Hmm. ”

Call the girls who have had enough rest, and everyone will head towards Suzuna-an......

Suzu Motoi's house came into our sight, and suddenly I raised my hand and told everyone to stop.

There was a hazy aura on the surface of Suzuna-an, but no one else noticed it except me.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

It suddenly stopped, and it was a little uneasy.

"If you go straight to the front, you'll probably be spotted by her. ”

I didn't tell the truth, and even if I did, they wouldn't understand what it meant.

"I want to look at the situation and decide what to do next. ”

"I see, let's go in through the back door!"

The owner of Suzuna-an led us to the back of the house.

Lifting the corner of the curtain, I stared ahead for a long time before withdrawing my hand and retreating.

"How is Suzu doing now?"

"It's a bit weird indeed. ”

Looking at her, it seems that she has been bewitched by something.

"My lord, is she possessed by some monster?"

As the founder of the borrowing house, the man has also read a lot of strange books, and knows that there are some yokai who can do things that can make humans insane.

Especially monsters like foxes and tanuki.

"No, it should be something else. ”

If it's a youkai or something, I can tell it at a glance. But the things that are wrapped around the body of the little bell in Honju, I don't know how to describe it.

That's not even demonic energy.

If you really insist on saying it, it should be an evil thought.

But there is no doubt that the evil thought is controlling the girl's mind at the moment.

"So what are we going to do?"

A look of unease appeared on the faces of Moju Kosuzu's parents, they only have such a daughter!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, there was a soft murmur outside, and it sounded like some kind of incantation.

I hurried back to the entrance and looked outside.

Honju Kosuzu is holding a book in his hand that I have never seen before, the cover is unusually old, and it looks hundreds of years old, to say the least.

"Do you know what book she's holding in her hand?"

That old book, I don't feel very good.

Because there is a faint demonic aura on it.

However, what is a little puzzling is that what affects the girl's mind does not come from this book.

"Let me take a look. ”

The man also walked over and looked outside.

He looked at it for a long time before he seemed to remember something.

"Hey, where did Suzu find that thing?"

I noticed that he was using things, not books.

"Is there anything in there?"

"That's right, it was a long time ago, a high monk entrusted it to the ancestors for safekeeping. ”

It is said that there are several tricky youkai sealed inside. However, because the strength of these monsters is not very strong, and they have not done any great evil, the high monk did not want to open a senseless killing ring, so he sealed them.

The reason why it was handed over to their family for safekeeping was also because the ancestors were kind to him.

"If you enshrine it at home, you can eliminate ordinary disasters. ”

And after getting this book, the Honju family has indeed not encountered any accidents that are too strict in the past generations.

It's just that more than ten years ago, that book should have been lost!

Where the hell did Suzu get it back?

"The seal was broken. ”

Honju had stopped singing, and the old book in his hand began to glow brightly.

"Suzu!"

Seeing that his daughter looked sluggish and unconscious, the man suddenly became anxious, and he didn't care that I was still beside him, so he immediately rushed out.

"Bang. ”

The book in the girl's hand suddenly exploded and turned into countless fragments.

In the confetti flying in the sky, two rays of light suddenly shot out and flew towards the man.

Before the man could dodge, the light seemed to hit an invisible wall, ricocheting them open.

Next, they drag their long, glowing tails and keep spinning in the air.

"Wow, is that a ghost? But it looks a little different!"

A few of the ancient names also ran out, looking at the two rays of light and shouting excitedly.

"Do you want to catch them? ”

Lingwu Lukong tapped the control stick in his right hand, but the posture was more like trying to blow the opponent away.

Finding that the number of people suddenly increased, the light cluster began to become a little confused. They circled twice, and then they did the same trick again, and flew towards everyone.

"Oooh. ”

Everyone was not afraid, but a little eager to try.

However, seeing that he was about to be hit, the light suddenly turned around and flew out of the door.

"Ah, run away!"

"Hurry up. ”

A group of people didn't expect them to be so cowardly, pretending to attack on the surface, but secretly planning to escape, and immediately felt very angry, and chased them out violently.

"Well, she's all left. ”

I turned my head and looked at Suzu Motoi, who was sitting behind the table with a blank expression......
