Episode 148: Memories of the present world, troubles of the gods

"Oh, is this little ghost the next generation of the Shouya Shrine? ”

"Flying ......"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Auntie. ”

"It's my sister. Really, the imps have been so annoying lately, and they're getting more and more rude. Hey, little ghost, what's your name?"

"Mom said you can't just tell your name to strange strangers. ”

"Well, then I won't ask your name. Well, by the way, what would your mom call you?"

"Sanae. ”

"Sanae, Sanae in the East Wind Valley? Listen, Sanae, my name is Kanako Yasaka, and I will be the most important person in your life in the future. ”

"Well, why?"

"Because I'm a god. ”

"Kami, Mommy, Kami?"

"It's all said to be my sister......"

On that day, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley knew for the first time that there really was a god in this world.

"Now, Sanae, do you know what Gensokyo is?"

"Where is Gensokyo??Kanako-sama, is there any kind of place in our country?"

"Gensokyo, that's a place that is out of the real world. There, humans, youkai, and goblins coexist in a unique way. ”

"Youkai!-sama Kanako, is there really such a thing as a youkai?"

"Absolutely. But you don't have to worry, those youkai aren't as scary as you think. ”

"Oh. But, Kanako-sama, why are you suddenly talking about this today?"

"Today's human beings no longer rely on the power of the gods, and their faith in the gods is slowly eroding, and one day, all human beings will no longer believe in the gods. If we lose our faith, we gods will lose our power. Sanae, do you understand what that means? That means that we, like humans, will eventually disappear!"

"I'm sorry, it's all useless. ”

"Fool, how can I blame you! This is the change of the times, no one can stop it, I can't do it, you can't do it. ”

"But, Kanako-sama, what are we going to do?"

"I've heard that in Gensokyo, people believe in the existence of the gods. So, I discussed with Suwako and planned to move the shrine from the human world to Gensokyo and collect beliefs there. ”

"This ...... Is that okay? What if something goes wrong?"

"Try everything! Rather than sit back and wait, give it a go. ”

"So, Sanae, I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye to you. ”

"Goodbye? What do you mean? Kanako-sama, are you going to leave me behind?"

"I'm sorry, Sanae, what kind of place is Gensokyo, I don't really know much about Suwako, if you go with you, you may encounter a lot of trouble or danger, and we don't have the strength to protect you at that time!"

"Why? Why are you always so self-righteous? Why don't you think about my feelings in everything you do? What is the point of leaving me alone if both adults are gone?"

"But, but this is Sanae's home!Gensokyo is a completely foreign place to you, where have you been, can you really get used to it?"

"I don't care, I just know that if Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama are gone, then I won't be happy for the rest of my life. Moreover, without me, who are you going to collect faith?"

"There's always a way to this, probably. ”

"Uh, am I really just a burden in your eyes?"

"Ah, Sanae, don't cry, okay. ”

"I'm going to cry unless you promise to take me with you. ”

"Alas, Sanae, you're forcing me!"

"I'm sorry, but I really don't want to be separated from you! ”

"Alas, I'm glad I didn't listen to Suwako, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. ”

"Well, did Suwako-sama say anything?"

"Nothing. Sanae, are you really willing to follow us out of here?"

"Hmm. ”

"No regrets?"

"Definitely not regretted it. ”

"I really can't help you, okay, then let's go to Gensokyo together!"

On that day, Sanae of Toshikaya decided to go to Gensokyo.

"Hey, Sanae, I heard that you're going to transfer schools, is it true?"

"Well, it's true. ”

"Why? Don't you think it's fun to stay here?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm having a great time here, I'm very happy. ”

"Then why are you leaving?"

"yes, is there any reason?"

"Well, because there was a little problem at home, I needed to move somewhere else. ”

"This ......"

"Could it be because of her parents' work? Sanae. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Alas, since this is the case, there is no way. ”

"That's it!"

"But even then, Sanae, don't forget, we're friends!"

"Yes, we'll always be good friends. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Don't forget us when you get there!"

"Also, call us often. ”

"I will. ”

"You can come back and see us when you have time. ”

"Be careful on the road, Sanae. ”

"Come on over there, Sanae. ”

......

"Sanmiao, hey, Sanae, wake up. ”

Yasaka Kanako pushed Sanae Dongfenggu a few times, and Sanae Dongfenggu suddenly shook her mind before she finally woke up.

"Yes, what's the matter? Kanako-sama. ”

Sanae of Dongfengya asked Kanako Yasaka in a daze.

"I should have asked you, right? What's wrong with you? I didn't respond to my call for a long time. ”

"Well, I'm sorry, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I accidentally fell asleep. ”

Sanae Kazuya rubbed her eyes and replied.

"Pay attention to your body!"

"Well, I will. ”

Seeing that Kanako Yasaka was still looking at herself, Sanae Higashiya felt strange.

"Any questions? ”

"This. ”

Kanako Yasaka turned the bottle upside down, but nothing came out of it.

"Oh, it's because there's no wine! Wait a minute, I'll go get it." ”

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley quickly got up and walked into the house.

"Well, if only I had been stubborn and had refused to let her come with me. ”

Looking at Sanae's somewhat lonely back, Kanako Yasaka couldn't help but sigh.

"Kanako-sama, the sake is here. ”

Sanae sat down next to Kanako Yasaka with a bottle of wine in her hand and filled her glass.

"Sanae, you're good at everything, but you're trying too hard, that's your strength, but it's also your weakness. ”

"Why do you say that? Kanako-sama. ”

Kanako Yasaka didn't answer her words, but turned her head to look at the sky.

"Now, Sanae, if you stay in the world, you'll be graduating from high school by now. ”

"Well, yes!"

Sanae Kazuya thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then it's going to college, where maybe you can meet your significant other, and then get married, have children, until you grow old, and your life passes away peacefully and carefree. ”

"Kanako-sama......"

Sanae Kazuya suddenly turned her head to look at Kanako Yasaka, but was stunned to find that there were tears flashing in her eyes.

"It's all us old fellows who delayed you! If I hadn't brought you to Gensokyo at that time, you wouldn't have been so lonely. You're not like us, you're still young and you have a long life ahead of you......"

"Please don't say that again, okay?"

Before Kanako Yasaka could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Sanae Dongdongya.

"I never felt like I was alone. ”

"Don't lie to me, Sanae. ”

Seeing that Sanae of Dongfeng Valley was a little angry, Kanako Yasaka just smiled lightly.

"In this place where there is neither a TV, nor a computer, or even a mobile phone, there are only two of us who can talk to heaven every day, in fact, you are very lonely. ”

Hearing her words, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley was stunned for a moment.

"I understand everything, and so does Suwako. ”

Kanako Yasaka sighed.

"We're sorry for you!"

"That's why you two are always so self-righteous. ”

Sanae Kazuya suddenly fell behind Kanako Yasaka and put her arms around her neck.

"Indeed, when I first came to this strange place in Gensokyo, I was really unaccustomed to it, and even now, I still feel a little out of place. But ah, I've never regretted having followed you here. Because, as long as she can always accompany Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama, Sanae already feels very happy. The place where you are is my Sanae's home!"

"Sanae ......"

Kanako Yasaka bit her lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall.

It's really ugly that a god can shed tears.

"And I've made a lot of friends here, though they're weirdos. ”

Sanae of Dongfengya said with a smile on her face.

"So, Kanako-sama, you and Suwako-sama, please rest assured! Sanae will definitely try to fully integrate herself into Gensokyo. Sanae is not a child anymore, she is already able to take charge on her own!"

"Well, I don't even know what to say now. ”

"Kanako-sama, you're thinking too much, I think you might as well be like Suwako-sama and walk around the Yokai Mountain often!"

"That's a good idea! ”

Kanako Yasaka slapped her thigh and shouted.

"If I had done that, I might have been able to collect more faith!"

"yes. ”

Seeing her so satisfied, Sanae Dongdongya was also very happy.

"But Sanae, you have to go with you. ”

"Well, why?"

"Anyway, there aren't many people at the shrine, so why don't you go outside. And you're young, squatting in the shrine all day, it's not very good!"

"Well, well. ”

Sanae Kazuya nodded in agreement.

"Ah, by the way, I heard that the project that Kappa is in charge of has already begun, so why don't we go there first stop. ”

"Well, it's up to you, Kanako-sama, to decide. ”

"Very good, then we will go to the spring together tomorrow, oh, it should be the autumn. ”

－－－－－－

Seeing the red leaves on the mountain below, I can really feel that autumn has arrived!

Today, the children didn't have to go to class, and now they were all playing on the grass behind me, but I was sitting on the edge of Jingen Island, my legs still out. Marisa and Mistia, on the other hand, sat on either side of me, one on the left and one on the right.

"Autumn is the season of appetite!"

Marisa muttered to herself as she held a red maple leaf that she had gotten out of nowhere.

"What, you're hungry?"

I turned my head to look at her in surprise, this guy seems to have just stuffed a bunch of snacks into his stomach!

"No, it's just a feeling. ”

"Really?"

I replied lightly.

"But don't we get bored when autumn is a good season, and we stay in the house all the time?"

Marisa shook her head.

"However, I don't know where to go, it's really frustrating!"

"Oh. ”

I looked into the distance for a long time before I nodded.

"Or, let's go on a picnic tomorrow!"
