Chapter Seventy-One: Why Don't You Come Back?
Circles of ripples rippled out, and with each diffusion, the picture in the "mirror" became clearer. Eventually, everyone can finally see what is on display.
Sadly, however, the image is colorless.
"It's Master (Brother)!"
Several little girls almost had their eyes shining, and they rushed to the front of the instrument fiercely. Not to be outdone, the rest followed.
In the picture, the man who looked up at this side was not Dongfang Yao, who else could it be?
"WO-chan is with him too!"
Although this change can basically be said to be all the girl's fault, but now that she is safe and sound and follows Dongfang Yao's side, everyone is secretly relieved.
"But who is she?"
The girl standing behind the man, everyone thought it was Marisa, who was also missing, but in the end it turned out to be a guy they didn't know.
"Cut!"
Reimu pursed her lips in annoyance, because Gensokyo is basically an acquaintance now, but she accidentally forgot this special skill of Dongfang Yao!
It's only been a few days since he went out, and a strange girl appeared next to that guy.
Is he a magnet? Someone sticks to it all the time?
And all of them are girls.
"Hey, Master, come back soon!"
A few little ghosts yelled excitedly at the Star Gate, but Dongfang Yao in the picture never reacted to this, as if he didn't hear everyone's voice at all.
"Can't my brother see us?"
Otonai Chiba couldn't help frowning, and the heat in his heart seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water, and it began to cool down rapidly.
"Don't worry, he'll see you later. ”
Dongfang Yuan touched her head and replied.
After all, it wasn't that easy to get in touch with, but now that he had noticed, the rest would be much easier.
"Well, don't get so close, or you'll interfere with its functioning! ”
Of course, this is just Dongfang far away to scare them. How can something that you have created with your own effort be so fragile!
"Ah, yes. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately hurriedly retreated.
"Increase the output power to the maximum. ”
It is only after the picture turns colored that the door is actually opened.
The ripples begin to appear in the center of the "mirror" again, but the picture in the mirror does not slowly turn into color, but gradually becomes more and more blurry, and finally disappears.
The mirror surface has reverted back to its original pure white color.
“!”
Dongfang Yuan's face changed, how could this be different from the result of her calculation?
"What's going on? Why can't you see anything?"
After waiting for a while, I didn't expect Dongfang Yao and them to disappear from the picture, and the girls immediately shouted.
The girl ignored everyone's shouts, walked forward quickly, and carefully inspected the Star Gate.
Everything worked fine, and nothing was found to be wrong with this thing.
But why was the link between it and the leader suddenly broken?
"Sister Yuan, what the hell is going on?"
The little girls' faces were full of anxious words, if Dongfang Yuan hadn't said that kind of thing before, they would have rushed over a long time ago.
"The instrument is out of order. ”
The girl in white flashed her eyes and replied expressionlessly.
"I didn't expect it to break the first time I used it, it's really a useless thing. ”
"Eh, eh!"
I can't imagine that this is the reason, that's too, right?
"What about my brother? Isn't he going to come back?"
The little girl couldn't help but pout, it was so easy to break, and the other party's things were not very good!
"I can't help it, I'll have to wait until it's fixed. ”
Dongfang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"How do you ...... like this?"
A group of people suddenly wailed, and they had been preparing for so long, but in the end it was useless at all!
"Well, even if we don't do anything anyway, we'll be back on our own in a few days. ”
Even if there is no Star Gate, if Dongfang Yao wants to return here, no one can stop it.
Since he is still in this world, it shows that he still has something to do.
"Goo......
Although he still felt quite depressed, he was relieved to see that Dongfang Yao was safe and sound now. The heart that has been hanging has finally been put down.
"Dismantle it and bring it back later. ”
This instrument is too valuable to be discarded.
"Yes. ”
A few maids stepped forward and dismantled the Star Gate, which had only been installed for a short time, into a large pile of parts.
The others watched them busy with this and that, but they could only stare dryly, and they couldn't help at all.
"(9) Sauce, Chiba-chan, let's go to my house and play!"
Feeling relaxed, Flandoro immediately couldn't hold back, they hadn't been to the Red Devil Pavilion for a long time!
"Good. ”
Several little girls did not refuse her invitation, and after meeting Dongfang Yao, they were no longer as anxious as before.
"Sister, let's go back first!"
As she spoke, the second lady had already grabbed the hands of Qiluno and Otomu Chiba and was about to run away.
"Go, go!"
Seeing her sister become so cheerful again, Remilia couldn't help but smile.
"Anyway, it's still early, so you might as well go to the Red Devil Pavilion and sit for a while. Sakiya, remember to entertain the guests!"
"Yes, Miss. ”
Led by Sixteen Nightsaki, a group of people flew towards the Western-style pavilion by the lake.
The only people left on the island are Reimu, Dongfang Yuan, Remilia, Pachouli, and the two maids of Light and Dark.
And the east wind valley was early.
She was also planning to leave, but seeing that Reimu didn't move, she hesitated for a moment and stayed.
"Well, there's no one else there now. ”
Dongfang Yuan's words may be able to deceive those little ghosts, but Reimu won't believe it, it will really be because there is a problem with the instrument.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"Actually, the Star Gate had indeed contacted the head just now, but it was interrupted later. ”
The girl didn't hide it from them, in fact, she was quite troubled by it.
"Someone is trying to stop the leader from returning to Gensokyo. ”
Even the operation of the Star Gate can be interfered with, and the other party will definitely not be an ordinary person.
"What?"
At first, Reimu and the others thought it was just that Dongfang Yao didn't want to come back so soon, but they didn't expect that it was someone else's ghost.
"Who did it?"
The eldest lady's tone immediately became a little unkind, if that stinky man couldn't come back, how could she settle accounts with him?
"I don't know. ”
But one thing is certain, the boss acquiesced in the man's approach. Otherwise, no one can stop him from going wherever he wants.
"Is it the purple guy?"
Reimu first thought of a certain crack monster, after all, the other party's favorite thing to do is to hide behind and make small moves. And this time Dongfang's unexpected disappearance, she didn't show very enthusiasm.
It's just that even if Yakumo Purple is the person in charge of maintaining the Great Enchantment, he can't control the matter of whether others can enter and leave Gensokyo, right?
Unless, it's the one who created the Great Enchantment.
Well, wait, the one who created the Great Enchantment......
"Could it be her?"
The witch was shocked, and then she was puzzled.
"Strange, if it's really the adult, why would she do this?"
============================= divider =============================
"As long as you're willing to go back with us, I can consider letting that little girl go. ”
Morgan said with an indifferent expression on his face.
The situation has been completely controlled by her, and the next thing is up to the other party to choose.
"Damn!"
Threatened by his former friend, Erich was naturally extremely angry. But if he makes a rash move, it will undoubtedly put Sakurazaki Hirano in danger.
"You can't do what she says, grandpa. ”
The girl wanted to eat this group of people into her stomach, but what was even more unbearable was her own weakness.
If she has a skill, how can she become a hostage and be used by the other party to intimidate her grandfather!
In the final analysis, I am still too weak.
If you want to gain more power, just like the person you saw in your dreams, otherwise you won't be able to protect the people around you.
However, this time, the cry in the girl's heart did not get any response.
"I'm really sorry. ”
Looking at the tearful Sakurazaki Hirano, VIVIT and VIVIT-r were even more angry and about to go crazy. What's the use of such a maid staying if they disobey their master's orders, but they can't control their actions at all, even if they plan to force down all the systems.
"It's rude. ”
Just as they were feeling disheartened, the girls heard an old voice suddenly coming from behind them. JUST AS THEY WERE ABOUT TO TURN AROUND TO TAKE A LOOK, VIVIT AND THE TWO FELT A HARD SLAP BEHIND THEM, AND THE WHOLE PERSON IMMEDIATELY FLEW OUT INVOLUNTARILY.
This change surprised everyone, and everyone looked at it and found that the person who shot was an old man with white hair and white beard.
"It's all right, Hirano. ”
The soul demon slapped the girl's shoulder, I haven't moved it for so many years, and I feel that the action is a lot rusty!
"Demon ...... Jealous Grandpa?!"
Sakurazaki Hirano looked at him stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
I can't imagine that this person who usually only drinks with his grandfather is so powerful, and he can easily save himself!
The VIVIT, which flew into the sky, rolled in the air with the VIVIT-r, turned around and landed on the ground. Looking at their lilting appearances, it was obvious that the attack just now had not hurt them much.
"I'm sorry. ”
Soul Demon sincerely apologized to them, anyway, the two children were always related to Erich, and it would be bad if they accidentally hurt them.
"No, that's what we should say. ”
Despite the sneak attack, the girls were very happy in their hearts.
Now they don't have to continue to kidnap Miss Sakurasaki.
Finding that the two did not blame themselves, the old man was a little relieved.
When he turned to look at Morgan's group, his eyes immediately sharpened.
Erich was bullied like that, and as his best friend, it would be too much to say if he still didn't say a word.
I didn't learn this skill to be a coward.
"Birano, go to your grandfather's side first. ”
The soul demon pushed the girl away, stared at the group of people opposite, and said.
"I'll take care of the rest!"
