Episode 23 The End of Winter

This year's winter is really too short.

Recently, the weather has been getting warmer, and the sun is appearing more and more often, so that the snow on the ground is melting little by little, and it seems that it is the time of the alternation between late winter and early spring.

But while everything was waiting to be revived, I was in trouble.

One morning, in a room.

A black line appeared out of thin air, then slowly expanded, turning into a dark crack with knots at both ends, and a man emerged from it silently.

"No wonder I can't find it anywhere, it's here!"

Looking at the person lying on the bed, the girl couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Hey, Dongfang, wake up. ”

Yakumo Zi shook the person who was still sleeping a few times and shouted loudly.

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Yao still didn't react at all, and he didn't even move his eyelids.

"Hey, wake me up. ”

Yakumo Zi shouted for a long time, but the other party still showed no signs of waking up.

"Really. ”

She scratched her head in annoyance, she had just woken up, and she wanted to discuss something with this guy, but who knew that he fell asleep instead.

Yakumo Zi simply ran to open all the windows, and the cold air poured in, and soon, the temperature in the room dropped.

"Huh?"

Dongfang Yao finally reacted, he opened his eyes that were still full of chaos, looked around with a confused expression, and then shrank into the quilt.

"You ...... guy"

Yakumo Zi suddenly had a strong urge to drop him into the gap and then throw him outside, and with great difficulty, she suppressed this urge.

"Damn, wasted my time. ”

It's rare to be the first to come to him, but I didn't expect this result, which is really depressing.

"Forget it, I'd better go back and see Blue and Orange. ”

She had just woken up, but there were so many things waiting for her to deal with.

Yakumo Zi closed the window again, glanced at Dongfang Yao again, and then left dissatisfied.

"Heh......"

Yawning, I staggered out of the room.

In the past few days, I have been getting up later and later, but I am sleeping longer and longer, and it seems that I am about to enter that state.

"Good morning, Orient. ”

It didn't take long for me to meet Marisa.

"Good morning. ”

I said hello to her listlessly.

"What's wrong? I'm getting up late today!"

Marisa thought it was very strange, she had only heard of hibernation, but why did this guy "spring hibernation".

"I didn't know it was that guy again in the morning, and he came and made a noise with me, so that I am now sleepy. ”

I rubbed my eyes and replied.

If you want me to know who it is, I'll definitely have to teach her a good lesson.

No one should disturb me while I was sleeping.

"Oh. ”

Marisa couldn't help but be a little surprised, it stands to reason that no one would dare to do such a thing! Yesterday, those little ghosts saw that Dongfang Yao didn't get up late, so they wanted to wake him up, but instead they caused him to lose his temper.

"Hey, watch out ahead. ”

"Huh? ”

Dizzy, he walked with half-squinted eyes, and accidentally hit the wall.

"Are you alright?"

Marisa rushed over and helped me up.

"I'm not in good shape, so I think I'd better go back and sleep a little longer. ”

"Well, ah, no. ”

I was about to leave, but Marisa suddenly grabbed me.

"You can't leave yet, there's something important for you to deal with!"

"What's the matter?"

"Someone is in trouble. ”

Marisa said with a stern expression.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

Reddy let out a long sneeze, and Kiruno quickly handed her the tissues in her hand, and the tissues on the table were already piled up into a small mountain.

The weather was getting warmer, and she didn't know that the flowers were blooming in that place above Kamine Island, which was supposed to be a good thing, but it caused her to have a pollen allergy attack.

The body feels uncomfortable.

"Reddy ......"

Kiruno looked at her worriedly, but unfortunately all he could do now was hand her a tissue.

"Don't put on a pretense of that, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Reddy smiled and comforted her.

"It's just that it looks like it's time for me to go. ”

Although she was still smiling, her smile was full of helplessness and sadness.

It's a pity that the time I spent with this child was too short.

"Reddy, I don't want this. ”

Cirno hugged her and cried, feeling sad from the bottom of her heart, even though she knew that this day would come.

And this year's separation came too quickly.

"Reddy, you can't go!"

"Alright, don't do that. ”

Reddy touched her head, and her heart was also full of bitterness.

"Don't be sad, won't we be able to meet again next winter?"

"But that's a year later. ”

"This ......"

Yes, even if we could meet again, it would be a year later.

Reddy put her arms around Cirno and fell silent.

"Who the hell made our little fool cry early in the morning?"

Marisa and I walked in slowly, from the outside.

"Good morning, Master. ”

Darkness immediately stood up and bowed to me.

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, washed my face, and was in better spirits.

"Woo, Master, Reddy is leaving again. ”

Kirunor turned her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Huh?"

I had just sat down and was stunned to hear her say that.

"Ahem, Lady Dongfang, I seem to be saying goodbye to you. ”

Reddy covered her mouth and coughed, her throat tickling.

"What are you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a pollen allergy flare-up. ”

She smiled disapprovingly at my question.

"Oh. ”

Thinking that Reddy had told me that she had a pollen allergy from Yan Zòng, it seemed that it should have started to flare up.

However, I don't have a good solution to this problem for the time being.

After thinking about it for a moment, I took out a mask.

"Put it on. ”

"What is this?"

Curious, Reddy took the mask and put it on at my instructions.

She blinked, and after a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"It feels really better. ”

"But it's only a temporary expediency. ”

But if that's it, you won't be able to last long.

"Then Master, hurry up and think of a way. ”

Kirino threw herself on her knees in front of me, shaking her thighs incessantly.

"By the way, I have an idea, why don't you let Reddy live in the fridge, it's cold enough. ”

Marisa said as she slowly broke open an orange and threw a petal into her mouth.

"Is that okay?"

Kiruno immediately looked at her.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, the refrigerator is so small, how can it live in people?"

Reddy's problem wasn't just that the weather was getting warmer, but that once the frozen, the pollen from outside could also run in, which was of no use at all.

Qi Lunuo thought about it for a long time, and felt that this method would not work at all, and he might not be able to stay in such a narrow place for half a day, and he would not be able to stand it.

"So what do you say you should do?"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, her brow immediately furrowed.

"Alright, Qiluno, this is my own business, you don't bother Lord Dongfang anymore. ”

Reddy couldn't help it at this time, it was very good for people to take him in for so long, how could he still trouble them again and again!

"But, in that case, Reddy, you're going to be separated from me. ”

Cirno said, her voice thinning out.

Reddy pulled her over, hugged her and sighed.

"Alas, there's no way around it!"

I looked at the two of them and looked down in thought.

Reddy's situation is a bit special, just the effect of the medicine is not great, and it is impossible to make the entire Gensokyo flowers no longer bloom.

It's very difficult!

"That, master. ”

Dark, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Yes, I have an idea. ”

Flying darkly, whispered a few words in my ear.

"Hey, there is still that kind of place in Xingli Palace!"

"Hmm. ”

Nodded darkly.

"It's just that the environment in that place is too bad, I wonder if Miss Reddy will like it?"

"Let's wait until she's experienced it before deciding. ”

I laughed and stood up.

"Can you come with me somewhere?"

I said to Reddy.

"Master, do you have a solution?"

"I'm not sure yet, so let's talk to me first. ”

With that, I turned around and walked outside.

Reddy and Kirunor glanced at each other and followed closely.

"Wait a minute. ”

Marisa threw down the orange in her hand and hurried out.

Reddy looked curiously at the thing in front of her that she didn't know whether it should be said to be a door or a wall, she didn't expect Dongfang Yao to take herself to see this. She hadn't even been in the rooms on the fourth floor, and she hadn't seen anyone go in, but she had heard that there were some very magical places.

I didn't expect to finally have a chance to see it today.

Once opened, the shape of the interface quickly changed into an oval mirror-like entrance, with a faint glimmer of light on it.

"Alright, let's go inside. ”

I nodded to the man behind me, and my figure vanished at the entrance.

"Reddy, let's go. ”

Before Reddy could react, she was pulled and dragged in by Kiruno, who only felt that it was dark in front of her, and then she saw a scene that she had only seen in her dreams.

A pure white world.

Mountains, flatlands, and the sky, no matter which direction you look at, all you can see is a boundless snow-white, and the world seems to be made of white.

"It's cold. ”

Marisa, who came out in the end, hugged her suddenly, she thought that this year's winter was the coldest, but she didn't expect that compared to this place, it was not a level at all. The chill that reached deep into her bones made her teeth fight.

"Damn, what the hell is this place? It's so cold. ”

"A world where it's always winter. ”

There are no plants here, so there is no need to worry about pollen spreading.

Contrary to Marisa, Reddy and Kiruno feel great, as if they were born for such a world.

Feeling the chill to the bone, both of them couldn't help but get excited.

“Yahoo......”

Kirunor shouted at the endless snowfield, happily running around.

"What do you think of this place?"

I asked Reddy.

"Very good, I should say that it is great. ”

The smiling girl ripped off her mask, and the air here felt fresher than that of Gensokyo.

"Would you like to live here in the future?"

"Huh, is that okay?"

Reddy turned her head to look at me in amazement.

"Of course, I wouldn't have brought you here. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm completely okay with that. ”

The girl's head suddenly nodded.

"Then it's decided. ”

Reddy spread her hands and took a long breath.

"It's like a dream. ”

Kirino hurried back and hugged her tightly.

"Reddy, Reddy, people love this place!"

"Well, I love it too. ”

I looked around, gestured a few more times, and finally nodded.

"Okay, that's it for today, and when the house is built, you can move in. ”

"Well, I don't need to look at the house or something, right?"

Being able to live in such a wonderful place is already very satisfying, and she can't be insatiable.

"This is not good, don't look at the weather is so good now, if there is a snowstorm, even if you can't stand it, it is better to prepare a shelter from the wind. ”

The blizzard climate of the ice field is very terrifying, and even if you encounter a monster, it will be dangerous.

Reddy looked at the empty world and felt that it was really not safe to stay outside like this.

"I'm going to trouble you again, Lord Dongfang. ”

"It's nothing, I don't need to do it anyway. ”

"Hey, Dongfang, hurry up and go back, I'm going to die of cold. ”

Marissa, whose face was already white from the cold, pulled me and walked towards the exit.

"Let's go back first. ”

"Okay. ”

Reddy and Kiruno glanced at this white and flawless world with nostalgia before reluctantly leaving.
