Chapter 9: The shrine maiden and the dreaming boy

Takeshi Takasaka also has superpowers.

Because it's really important to say it three times.

Even if no one wants to believe this until now, it is an irrefutable fact.

Takeya Takasaka has a superpower, which is called the ability to discover the degree of superpower.

That's well above the level of human observation, and it covers areas ranging from the existing social cognition, or the definition of the mysterious.

In the 21st century, with the rapid development of science and technology, the traces of the existence of extraordinary consciousness have become weaker and weaker, and it can even be said that they have basically been erased.

This not only refers to the objective aspect of existence, but also refers to the fact that people no longer have the initial "awe" for the so-called "mystery".

After all, people are more willing to believe that it is a natural phenomenon that cannot be observed due to the lack of existing abilities than the so-called supernatural, extraordinary consciousness, or commonly known superpowers.

Living in such a real world, the treatment that the superpowered Takeshi Takasaka is most likely to encounter is-

It is regarded as a patient with advanced secondary disease who has excess self-awareness.

I have to say that today he was able to find the signs of Xiaoniyou and Fugashi's secondary two diseases in an instant, largely thanks to the blessing of his own experience.

Of course, Takeya once had a certain degree of doubt about his superpowers, after all, his abilities were more inclined to "observation" than "manifestation".

Since there is no other superpowered person in this world that can be observed, this makes Takeya suspect that everything he has experienced is just his own fantasy.

But fortunately, he quickly confirmed that he had superpowers-

That's the real thing.

The method is very simple, since there is no superpower in this world for him to observe, then it is better to go to another world.

I almost forgot to mention it.

Another ability of Takeya Takasaka as a superpower is that he can enter other worlds in his dreams.

The reason why I didn't mention this in the previous time is because for Takeya, this "special skill" he has is more like an instinct than the "ability" in the general perception.

Because until now, Takeya still hasn't mastered it thoroughly, to put it simply, every time he unknowingly comes to the other side of the world in his sleep-

It's called Gensokyo.

The cherry blossoms in spring have not yet dispersed, the red torii gate looks ancient and mysterious, and the empty shrine entrance has only a red and white shrine maiden with a broom, all of which reveal the taste of poverty, oh no, peace.

"Yo, Reimu, good morning."

Takeya, who was still wearing pajamas, waved his hand at the girl in front of him and sent a friendly greeting, but the other party didn't seem to intend to appreciate it.

"Good morning...... No, why are you again? ”

A look of displeasure flashed across the young shrine maiden's calm face, and she reluctantly spoke.

"It's rare for a human to come to my shrine, I thought I could get a little money, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"I'm thinking too much, Reimu, how can anyone come to your shrine, listen to me, hurry up and sell the money box."

"It's because there are too many strange guys like you that no one from my shrine will come."

With that, the young shrine maiden glared at Takeya, who was snickering in a low voice, and walked towards the backyard of the shrine with a broomstick, obviously the petals on the ground had not been cleaned at all.

"I said, Reimu, is it okay if you don't finish your work?"

"I'm a shrine maid, not a maid, cleaning this kind of thing, let's talk about it when you have time."

"Isn't that just right now?"

"It's time for tea, anyway, if anyone comes, just make a show."

The shrine maiden spoke honest words without care, and the corners of Takeya's mouth twitched when she heard it.

Let's introduce it.,This shrine maiden's name is Reimu.,Probably because the shrine she serves is called Hakurei.,So her name is Hakurei Reimu.。

Reimu should be regarded as a childhood friend in the true sense of the word, because since he can remember, he has been able to come here from time to time by dreaming-

Gensokyo.

Completely different from the human civilization in the outside world, this is a world composed entirely of monsters and countless non-conscious beings.

In Reimu's words, this is a place full of troubles.

As the easternmost "attraction" in Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine is the only place in Gensokyo where humans can safely haunt, huh? Haunt? Well! That's right, it's haunting!

Hawkers,Probably because of this.,So this is like Takeya's birthplace.,Every time he comes to Gensokyo,,Directly appear here.。

When he was a child, Takeya didn't realize the difference between dreams and reality, and for the first time he understood that the two worlds were real people, it was Reimu's mother, the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maidens.

To this day, Takeshi doesn't know what the name of that terrible "sister-sama" is, and I'm afraid even Reimu is the same.

Reimu calls her Grandma, and Takeya is forced to call her "sister", and even if other people occasionally appear, they simply call her "Hakurei's shrine maiden".

So even after several years of getting along, Wu still doesn't know what her real name is.

In fact, it's not just the name, if you really want to talk about it, Takeya doesn't know much about other things about this ancestral shrine maiden, except for the inherent definitions of "Reimu's mother" and "physical monster" and "violent maniac", there is almost no other impression at all.

In her memory, she always wore the same red and white witch costume as Reimu, and complained to two children who were not yet sensible every day about all kinds of adult problems, although she didn't seem to be too old herself.

Not to mention, although when talking about this ancestral witch, it seems that all he is talking about is some bad black history, but in fact, to a certain extent, Wu Ye is still very grateful to her.

As mentioned before, she was the first person to teach Takeya the difference between dreams and reality, as well as superpowers, that is, the so-called "extraordinary knowledge" existence.

But about this, even if he says that it doesn't matter, even to this day, he still can't feel relieved in Wu Ye's heart.

Let's tell you a story, that's probably what it looks like -

What would you say if a child told you one day that he had entered a magical world in a dream that was completely different from what he had lived in?

"Eh, that's great."

That's usually the case, right?

After all, most people have a tolerant heart for children's "innocence".

But what would you say if a child has grown up and become a junior high school student, or even a high school student, but he tells others every day that he can enter the dream world and become friends with the person in his dream?

The first thing that normal people think about is whether their children are being bullied at school and causing them to start excessive delusions, right? Or it's the late stage of secondary two disease that can't be saved, right?

Gao Banwu is such a person.

He was lucky, because in the world on the other side of the dream world, he had superpowers and became a member of the non-knowing camp.

He is unlucky, because in the real life world, he has superpowers, and he has become a severe secondary disease patient who is not understood by his family and friends.
