Chapter 10: Superpowers and Passers-by

It was an accident.

An accident made Takeya Takasaka, an ordinary person who was originally so ordinary that he had no characteristics, become the most extraordinary person in the world.

No one knows why, as if all this exists just for the sake of being.

Let's tell a little bit about the past.

When he was a child, Takeya often entered Gensokyo through dreams, and even if he didn't stay for a long time, even if he faced two witches one big and one small every day, he still felt happy.

Even with the help of the shrine maiden, he discovered the superpowers he possessed, and he saw many things that were not in the "real world", such as youkai and the like.

There are cute yokai and scary yokai.

There are youkai who like to play, there are youkai who like banquets, and of course, there are youkai who like to play pranks.

Wu also saw a world that was different from his original understanding, more, wider, and more interesting.

When Takeya told his parents about these "observations" for the first time, his mother happily praised him for his imagination, and his father, although he said that he should not be too serious, had no intention of stopping him.

Then he told his younger siblings about it, and his sister seemed interested, pestering him to hear the rest of the story, and his brother had a curious look in his eyes, though he looked unconcerned.

Takeya was happy because he felt that since his parents and family were interested in his "experience", then he should do all this right.

Every day, he would memorize these "dream" observations and relays them to his family.

Gradually, however, Wu also noticed that everything seemed to have changed.

His mother would start to look at him worriedly, his father would become more and more stern, his younger brother would seem a little reluctant to face him, and finally even his sister would show some distantness when she saw him.

As Takeshi grew up, he seemed to realize that no one liked to hear his story, and no one wanted to listen to his story......

No one believed his story.

He became a weirdo in the eyes of everyone, and became the object of ridicule and ridicule by others.

Walking down the street, you will always hear someone behind his back saying:

"Look, he's the 'weird kid.'"

The atmosphere around Takeya began to gradually become subtle, everyone was looking at him with abnormal eyes, and even in the end, even Takeya himself began to wonder if the other world he experienced in his so-called dreams was a fantasy made up by his brain.

Overwhelmed, Takeya finally stopped choosing to be silent, and in his dream, he exploded his dissatisfaction with the previous generation of shrine maidens, and he cried that all this was fake, that they were all fantasized by himself, and that they did not exist.

Then the shrine's ancestral shrine maiden, Reimu's unreliable aunt, and Takeya's "sister-sama" beat him with her fists without hesitation.

Takeya, who woke up from the dream that time, in addition to bringing a new memory of the dream world, also brought a bruise on his face.

This is the second time in Takeya's life that he has been beaten, compared to the last time you fought between children, this time he was directly beaten unilaterally.

Obviously an adult, it's ...... so ruthless to shoot at a child!

Resisting the desire to complain, the hot pain on his face made Wu also understand two things.

First, he really went to another world in the way of "dreaming", going to Gensokyo, because just like ordinary dreams, if it is more than the "damage" that the spirit can bear, he will "wake up" from the dream.

I don't know why the pain I felt in the other world was brought to this world......

Second, based on the above, or based on the real pain of this body, Takeya can be sure that the other world, the shrine, the shrine, the friend, these are all real.

So the next day, Takeya, who thought he had found "evidence", excitedly approached his parents, pointed to the wound on his face, and kept trying to explain to them that everything he had said before was true.

But this time, even his mother, who was usually kind, did not show a smile, but asked him with a reproachful look if he had fought with others, and his father angrily reprimanded him and ordered him not to talk "in his dreams" anymore.

Wu also finally understood that no matter how much "evidence" he found, they would never believe him, and in the eyes of others, he had become an outlier.

He made his parents the target of the talk of the neighborhood, and he added the topic of ridicule to his younger siblings.

He seems to have become a burden to the family.

He seems to have become a nuisance.

Realizing this, Takeya suddenly felt like crying, feeling guilty for causing trouble to his family, and angry at his family for not believing what he was doing.

So in the end, Wu also chose to run away from home.

Because he couldn't seem to find any other solution to his heart.

Now that I think about it, it seems that this approach only makes him more willful and adds to the level of trouble.

But in the end, it was a matter of the past, and now that Wu also recalled his original feelings, it seemed that it had become a little blurry like those memories.

He only remembered that the people who found him later were not his parents, nor his younger siblings, but his female aunt.

Under the slide in that small park, the female aunt only said this to him-

"I believe it."

Although it was obviously a lie full of loopholes, for Takeya at that time, it was the most precious salvation in the world.

After that, things were very simple, Wu Ye, who was taken away by the female aunt, refused to return to his original home, so the female aunt let him live in her own home.

It was at that time that Takeya met his cousins for the first time, Vine and Elio, who claimed to be aliens, and at the same time, he began to understand why his aunt "believed" him.

Since then, Wu has never returned to his original home, he stayed at the house of his aunt, and at the same time applied to the school for a transfer, and even with his later high school volunteers, he also chose the farthest college he could go to.

Takeya began to gradually say goodbye to everything in the past.

At school, he hid his identity as a superpower, stopped telling those stories, and began to try to play the role of an ordinary person, and at home, he took over the job of taking care of Aryo from his female aunt, which was also a way to pay the "rent".

Although the female aunt will give Takeya living expenses on time, he still insists on working outside to earn pocket money.

And for Wu Ye's stubborn attitude, the female aunt was helpless.

In this way, a year passed, and Takeshi Takasaka went from a strange child to an ordinary high school student everywhere, from an adventurous, mysterious-minded superpower person to a ubiquitous, passerby.
