On rainy days, it's best not to leave the windows too wide, otherwise the floor will get wet.

The wind carried the rain in from outside, leaving a trail of water on the pages.

I was about to get up and close the window when I heard an inaudible call.

I couldn't make out what it was saying, but the person who spoke must have been very excited.

When I looked up, I saw a young girl looking at me with those sparkling eyes.

By the time I rescued the three girls from the crashed spaceship, they were all on their last breath.

Fortunately, with me and someone else, all three of them will return to the three paths.

Their injuries were very tricky, especially the one who was looking at me now, because she had protected the other two with her body, and she had suffered the most serious injuries.

Her eyes, in particular, were directly irradiated by the turbulence of time and space.

If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be able to see the light of day again in her life.

It's just that I didn't expect that this girl was the most seriously injured, but she woke up the fastest, and the other two were still in a coma!

"You're awake. ”

Closing the book and placing it on the table next to me, I got up and walked over to her.

The girl didn't say a word, just stared at me in a daze.

And this means that she can see things now.

And that's a good thing.

Like a ruby that had been hammered, her pupils were dotted with visible fissures, the marks left over from the burns of the space-time turbulence, but they were much better now, and her eyes looked like they were cracked at first.

It feels very creepy.

"It feels okay. ”

Even though I knew she must be very unwell now, I asked anyway.

"This is not my own teacher. ”

Yumemi Okazaki's heart was suddenly occupied by a bitter sense of disappointment.

Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, it was clear that his voice sounded much younger than his mentor.

Moreover, her mentor had died many years earlier.

However, the gentle feeling in the other party's voice that can make people involuntarily calm down is really similar to her mentor!

Yumemi Okazaki's eyes moistened a little.

What's going on?

I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I found that this guy had been staring at me and looked like he wanted to cry.

"Who are you?"

Yumemi Okazaki blinked, and the tears that were about to flow out were instantly retracted.

"Dongfang, Dongfang Yao. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Haruka Dongfang, hello, my name is Yumemi Okazaki. ”

She habitually wanted to salute, but the situation didn't seem to allow her to do so.

In the end, I had to nod.

"Excuse me, did you save us?"

"Well, your ship landed right in front of my house. ”

"For your life-saving grace, Mengmei is really grateful. Also, I'd like to ask, Chiyuri...... Well, I mean, the two companions who were with me, they're all right, right?"

"Don't worry, they're fine, they're even better off than you!"

"Great. ”

The news that all three of them were safe and sound immediately made Yumemi Okazaki overjoyed.

After saying a few words, she felt her mind dizzy even more.

"Sleep is the best medicine, you have been injured so badly, now it's better to rest for a while. ”

Seeing that she didn't look right, I put my hand on her forehead and said.

Okazaki Yumemi only felt a warm current coming from the hand of the man who called himself Dongfang Haruka, and the chaotic feeling in her mind disappeared immediately, and a burst of sleepiness hit, and she fell asleep again......

"Mengmei, do you know that there is still an unknown force in this world, that is, magic. ”

An old man touched the head of the little girl next to him and said amiably.

"Teacher, doesn't the 'Unified Theory' say that there are only four forces in the world? Why is there a fifth force?"

The short-haired girl with a pair of ponytails tilted her head and looked at him with a look of apprehension with doubt.

The old man was a scientist known as the "Prophet" and her university mentor.

The person she respects the most.

"That's because no one has discovered this power yet!"

The old man looked up into the distance, his wise gaze tinged with melancholy.

Because, among "those people", he also includes himself.

"Hmm...... Is it because there is no evidence to prove it?"

He was worthy of being his proudest disciple, and he immediately figured out the crux of the problem.

"That's right, it's normal for humans to subconsciously resist the unknown. However, I believe that the magic must be there. ”

"I believe so too, dear teacher. ”

"Even if it is not understood, even if it is not accepted by people, never lose the power to pursue the truth. ”

"Exploring the unknown is the greatest motivation for human beings, so, Mengmei, move forward firmly!"

Yumemi Okazaki slowly opened her eyes, and two drops of crystal water slid down her face.

Her mentor, the human being full of wisdom, the first discoverer of "magic" and the navigator of her life, was sadly passed away before he could confirm to the world the existence of that fifth force.

However, his will has already been inherited.

"Teacher, I will not let you down. ”

With a slight sigh, Yumemi Okazaki propped up the bed with her hands and sat up.

The body is soft, and I can barely exert my strength, but fortunately, I don't have the tingling feeling I felt last time.

On top of that, her eyes were finally able to see.

Rubbing his eyes, he could see more clearly.

I didn't think that I would be able to get out of the crisis of blindness, and even in Yumemi Okazaki's state of mind, I couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic.

Of course, she didn't forget to check her current situation.

It was a rather large room, at least much larger than the studio that Yumemi Okazaki used for her research. As she thought, the walls of the room were pure white with some oil paintings hanging on them. She was now lying on a large bed with a closet taller than her next to it. The window of the room was ajar, and it was raining outside, and it was hazy, and it was difficult to see what was further away. Next to the windowsill is a wooden table and a chair with notebooks and pens on it. There was also a large bookshelf facing the window, which was full of books, and Yumemi Okazaki's eyes lingered there for a while.

The room is simple, but by no means shabby.

"It's a rich man's house. ”

Yumemi Okazaki stared at the crystal chandelier for a long time before she came to this conclusion.

But the most important thing now is to find Rikako Asakura and Chiyuri Kita-Shirakawa.

Okazaki Yumemi looked at the white pajamas she was wearing, her eyebrows raised, and she didn't know who helped her change them.

Feeling a little uneasy.

After looking through the room, she still didn't see her clothes.

I was hesitating to go to the closet to find clothes to wear when there was a knock at the door.

"Enter...... Come on in. ”

Yumemi Okazaki quickly lay down, and her whole body was shrunk into the quilt except for her head.

The door was pushed open, and a man in a black robe walked in from the outside. Behind him, there was also a maiden dressed as a maid.

The long-haired black maid held a tray on which a large cup-like pottery object and a small bowl were placed.

Yumemi Okazaki looked at them and didn't react for a while.

"Did you just wake up?"

Although it was a question, there was an undeniable meaning in the other party's words, as if he had known that she would wake up at this time.

"Are you...... Mr. Oriental?"

There was irrepressible surprise in Yumemi Okazaki's voice, this person who seemed to be only a few years older than herself was her savior?

She thought she would be a little older!

"Just call me Dongfang. ”

I pulled over the chair and sat down against the bed.

"Give me your hand, please. ”

Despite the confusion, Yumemi Okazaki stretched out her left hand.

She believed that the other party had no ill intentions.

It's a woman's instinct, and while there's no scientific basis for it, it's never wrong.

I took my pulse for a moment, then looked into her eyes, and the crack was no longer visible.

"It's basically fine. ”

I nodded, then ran to the table and recorded my observations in the notebook.

"Thank you. ”

"No thanks, by the way, you've slept for three days and two nights, let's eat something and supplement your nutrition!"

I smiled back at her and said.

"What? Have I been in a coma for so long?"

Yumemi Okazaki was shocked, no wonder she always had a feeling of weakness!

Darkness placed the cup of tonic on the low table at the head of the bed, opened the lid, and a rich aroma immediately spread.

"Goo......

The girl's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, but fortunately neither of them meant to laugh at her, otherwise she would have found a crack in the ground to get into.

"Your body is just right, it's better to eat some liquid food first...... Symptoms, corneal dehiscence, lens dissolution......"

Dongfang Haruka seemed to have forgotten her savings and was only busy writing in her notebook.

Yumemi Okazaki looked at his back and was stunned, and that familiar feeling appeared again.

"Miss Mengmei, please open your mouth. ”

The maid held a bowl in her left hand and a spoon in her right, as if to feed her.

"No, no, no, I'd better do it myself!"

Okazaki Yumemi hurriedly shook her head, although the state of her body is not very good, but it is not to the point where she needs to be fed!

"Oh well. ”

Darkness didn't force her, and immediately handed her the bowl and spoon.

Yumemi Okazaki looked at the bowl of mushy food, and the tempting aroma made her even hungrier.

"You're welcome. ”

She took small bites of this strange thing. The taste was amazing and made her feel refreshed.

"By the way, how do you know my name?"

Yumemi Okazaki squinted at that person, and the more she looked at it, the more she looked like her mentor.

That state of self-forgetfulness.

"You said it yourself last time, Miss Mengmei. ”

The maid in blue was still so meticulous in her answer.

"Last time?"

Okazaki Yumemi felt strange, she did say her name last time, but at that time, there was no one else here except Dongfang Haruka.

Well, maybe it was Dongfang Yao who told sù this girl!

She thought so and didn't pursue the issue further.

"By the way, what kind of place is this?"

Yumemi Okazaki had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered that she could understand the language here, could it be that she had returned to her own world?

"This is Gensokyo. ”

Seeing that his master was busy, he answered for him.

"Fantasy...... Township!"

Yumemi Okazaki's eyes suddenly resisted, and the small bowl fell out of her hand, and the white milky liquid spilled out, wetting a large piece of the quilt.
