Episode 42 A Secret Treasure Hidden Deep Beneath the Water

"Slowly, slowly. ”

I was debating how to get something up to the bottom of the lake, when a man suddenly jumped out.

"I'll be very troubled if I don't say a word about my lake!"

Yasaka Kanako crossed her waist and said with a full spirit.

Kawashiro didn't actually call her here, probably from the mountains to see so many people gathered by the lake, so I came to see the excitement!

But when she said this, everyone remembered that this lake was not originally a Gensokyo thing, but was moved here with the Moriya Shrine.

"It's ours. ”

For Yasaka Kanako's unauthorized appropriation of the Lake of the Wind God for herself, Suwako was of course dissatisfied with the leakage.

"Don't worry, isn't mine yours?"

"People don't remember when you became so generous......"

Heck, once the two gods quarrel, it will become endless.

"Really...... I'm sorry to trouble you. ”

Sanae of Tokoya felt very embarrassed that her two gods had an argument in front of others.

"It's time for us to apologize for tampering with your things. ”

After all, the Lake of the Wind God is really the one they are guarding the Ya Shrine! The kappa clan was able to build a hydropower station here because of the nod of Yasaka Kanako.

"Ah, please don't take Kanako-sama's words to heart. ”

It's always been like this! I even think about others when I speak.

What a good girl, and her personality is completely different from that of another shrine maiden!

···············································

"Hello. ”

Without warning, Reimu suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong?

Marisa, who was sitting next to her, asked worriedly, "In this season, if you catch a cold, it can become super troublesome."

"It's not. ”

Reimu rubbed her nose and frowned.

"It looks like something is under attack. ”

"Attack?"

"Well, it just feels like that. ”

"Hmmm......"

Marisa scratched her head, speechless.

The witch stroked the girl who was sleeping on her lap, this guy, some time ago, he couldn't stop eating, and now he has become a little lazy worm again.

Most of the day I spend my time asleep.

It's like Yakumo Murasaki in the past.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen that old woman appear lately, and even Yakumo Blue doesn't know where to go.

Their family is still the same, and everything they do is mysterious and secretive, which makes people feel particularly uneasy.

"Reimu, I feel more and more that you are qualified to be a mother!"

Marisa said jokingly, but it startled Reimu.

"Don't say such stupid things. ”

"Really, I never thought you would be so good at taking care of people!"

In the past, she couldn't even take care of herself. Now with the addition of a nightmare, it looks like things are much better.

"Go, go, go. ”

I hate it to death, why does every guy have anything to do with this stinky little ghost?

"Don't be angry, I'm just joking. ”

"I'm not angry. ”

"Really, but your face is black!"

"Noisy ......"

·············································

"By the way, what are you guys doing here?"

The strife between the gods finally stopped, and they finally remembered what they had come here for.

"Inside this lake, there is an object with a high-energy reaction. ”

Kawashiro explained, pointing to the energy analyzer.

"High-energy reactive ...... objects?"

Kanako Yasaka stared at the scan on the analyzer and bowed her head slightly.

She'd never seen them before, but she was at least able to understand them a little.

Suwako had seen the images as well, but she had a different question in mind.

"Kanako, is that what you threw in it?"

"Stupid, am I the kind of guy who throws things around?"

"It's hard to say. ”

The conversation between the gods and adults didn't know what reminded Sanae of Dongfeng Valley, and the girl suddenly sighed lightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, nothing. ”

Even though he smiled, he couldn't feel the joyful feelings.

"Oh. ”

It's probably her own business, so if you don't want to talk about it, forget it.

"Lord Dongfang, may I ask what these numbers represent?"

Maybe she wanted to change the topic, Sanae Dongya suddenly asked about the scanned image.

"That's the depth of the lake. ”

"I see. ”

The girl immediately understood, but found that the other party showed a somewhat confused look.

"What's wrong?"

I beckoned and called Kawashiro to come over.

"What's the matter? ”

"What is the depth of the lake here, have you measured it?"

I asked her, pointing to the red area where the source of the unknown energy had been found.

"Yes, it's the deepest part of the lake, about 35 meters!"

If it is before the lake is full, the water level may reach more than 80 meters.

"But the location of this thing ......"

According to the scans, the source of the energy was more than 40 meters below the surface of the water, which means that what we were looking for was not at the bottom of the lake, but in the deeper layers of the soil.

"Huh?"

As an elite-level engineer, Kawashiro understood what I meant at once.

"But why is it underground?"

"Quite simply, because the thing was supposed to fall to the ground, but when the Lake of Anemo moved, it just crushed it underneath. ”

Kanako Yasaka said what was in my heart at the right time.

"Is that so?"

It seems that she is not particularly sure!

"Hmm. ”

I nodded.

Or maybe it was originally buried in the dirt, but it was later buried deeper by the Lake of Anemo.

"Anyway, let's get it up first. ”

The gods' eyes began to glow, this lake belongs to them, and if they find anything interesting in it, of course it belongs to them at Shouya Shrine.

Of course, I couldn't be clearer about her little thoughts. It's just that I just care about what is hidden in the depths of the lake, and I never think about who it ends up with.

"Suwako, hurry up. ”

"Why me?"

Suwako was very unhappy, this guy is really good!

"Because you're a frog, don't you know how to dive?"

"You're a diving snake, too!"

These two guys are really completely useless!

"Go get some digging tools!"

"Yes. ”

Hearing my words, the kappa began to act.

"If you're digging underwater, it should be a lot of difficulty, right?"

Sanae in Dongfeng Valley looked very hesitant, if the lake water could be separated, it should be much more convenient.

"Don't underestimate them!"

When it comes to working in the water, Gensokyo's ability to compete with no one can match the kappa.

Not only are they familiar with water, but they are also particularly proficient in digging.

The kappa quickly brought in tools such as drills and shovels.

"Wait for our good news! ”

Kawashiro saluted us and took the others into the water.

The ripples rippled, and they were soon lost in the lake.

Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Leakya, who were arguing just now, suddenly surrounded the lake, and it seemed that the two of them were still quite concerned about what was hidden underwater.

"Hey, are you leaving, my lord?"

Seeing that the man suddenly turned around and left, Sanae of Dongdong Valley hurriedly chased after him and asked.

"Well, no, I just wanted to go over there. ”

Although the construction of the dam of the Nine Heavens Falls has not yet begun, the work of reinforcing the collapsed part with concrete has been going on, but it is the first time to do such a large-scale project, so I will encounter a lot of problems, so I will go over and take a look at them, and by the way, I will point them out.

"Then, I'll go with you. ”

I don't know why, the girl Fengzhu also wants to go with her.

"Hmm. ”

Anyway, it's nothing, so it doesn't matter if she follows.

It's truly amazing to stand under a cliff and watch the waterfall fly overhead. The sunlight shines through the endless stream of water, and it becomes colorful and beautiful.

This is a strange landscape created by kappa with magic!

"Well, it's almost done!"

The preliminary work is done here, and all that remains is to wait for Kawajo Natori to find that person, and then the construction can start immediately.

"Well done. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Mayumi bowed to me quite reservedly, but the smug look on her face couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

I was praised by Lord Dongfang, and when I went back, I definitely had to show off to Green and Dong and these two guys, so that they would envy themselves.

"Can I start storing water now?"

If the outlet is closed a day earlier, the water in the Lake of the Wind God will be able to be stored quickly.

"Not yet, the inner wall part must continue to be thickened, otherwise it will be easily washed away. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

The color on the girl's face immediately disappeared, and she was replaced by an extremely serious expression.

It's no wonder that Kawashiro has entrusted her with such an important job.

Under Mayumi's leadership, Sanae and I went to other places to observe.

"Alright, the time should be almost up, let's go back!"

"Hmm. ”

As soon as Sanae returned to the shore of the lake, he saw Kawashiro and the others carrying a strange object from the water.

It was the size of a washbasin, but it seemed to be very heavy, and the kappa carried it together and placed it in the middle of the riverbank.

"What is this?"

Suwako squatted down and knocked a few times on the bulbous object with an uneven surface, and from inside came the sound of Kiyoshi's "ding".

Listening to the sound, it seems to be a piece of metal, and it is also solid.

"Hmmm......"

From this thing, Kanako Yasaka also felt that energy fluctuation.

It is very similar to the pulse of the human heart.

"Is this thing alive?"

Could it be that what is the mourning god?

I also came over and knocked on it a few times.

"Something didn't sound right. ”

"Well, what do you mean?"

"What we're looking for may still be in it. ”

What we see now is nothing more than a metal shell that has been melted at high temperatures and then condensed.

"Really, then knock it open and see!"

Suwako took off her hat, took out a large iron wheel from it, and tapped it lightly on the metal block.

"Smack. ”

The metal pieces made a cracking sound like when an egg was broken, and then turned into countless pieces scattered across the sand.

"Huh?!"

Seeing the spherical thing hidden inside, Sanae Dongdongya couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Isn't this Miss Reimu's Yin-Yang Jade?"
