"Reimu, I misread you! It's obviously a shrine maiden who actually launched a mutation with a youkai! ”

"Marisa, you idiot! I said I don't have time to play with you now! ”

In Gensokyo, the barrage game is the best way to talk, so Marisa, who can't agree with Reimu, and Reimu, who is too lazy to explain to Marisa, started the first battle of the Lost Bamboo Forest at this critical juncture-

Fight in the nest.

"Isn't it okay not to stop them?"

Wu Ye, who felt a stomachache, asked Zi next to him with a leisurely and even somewhat happy face.

"If this continues, let alone solve the mutation, our combat power will be exhausted by our own people."

"It's okay, Reimu won't be that weak, and ......"

Purple gestured with her eyes to the blonde puppeteer in front of her.

"It's not so easy on the other side to let me go to war."

“......”

Alice didn't say anything, but locked on to Murasaki and Takeya's movements in an encircled posture with multiple small dolls.

It seems that if Purple has to implement the fighting method of playing, the two of them will not be able to break through Alice's encirclement in a short time, and the battle between Reimu and Marisa above will not end in a short time.

Besides, Reimu is also a very strange guy, if someone starts a barrage game with her, or if there is a fight for some reason, she generally won't give it her all.

Obviously, it will be more troublesome to entangle, but Reimu always likes to fight with a little more power than the other party, and except for the last red mist mutation, Reimu has almost no precedent for launching a powerful spell card in the first place.

To put it simply, it is a type that focuses on retaining strength.

Such a character is not a weakness in ordinary combat, on the contrary, such a cautious personality makes it easier for him to quietly gain the upper hand in battles with others.

It's just that if it's against an old acquaintance like Marisa, who has known the roots for a long time, this kind of combat method is useless except for wasting time.

Marisa's strength is obviously not enough in front of Gensokyo's major monster-level powerhouses, and her strength is a barrage game based on the premise of spell card rules.

Because of this, if Reimu retains his strength to fight, the game between the two may be fought until dawn.

"What two stupid people who don't know how to be flexible."

Sighing helplessly, Wu Ye, who couldn't think of any way to stop them, had to confront Alice here with Zi, simply put, in a daze until the end of the battle.

If I had to say it, it was boring.

Takeya's gaze was removed from the battle situation in the sky, and he looked around at the scene of the bamboo forest, probably looking for something interesting to pass the time.

His eyes swept over the entrance of the bamboo forest, and suddenly a dark shadow flashed.

"Huh?"

Wu could also be sure that it was not his own delusion, and the rustle of the bamboo leaves as the black shadow rushed into the bamboo forest would not be fake.

"What's wrong, Takeya?"

Noticing Takeya's movements, Purple turned around and asked.

"No, it's just like there's something there......"

Takeya said, pointing to the entrance of the bamboo forest.

"Over there, maybe a rabbit or something."

Purple said in a casual tone:

"Most of the people gathered here are rabbit monsters, although the combat effectiveness of the group is not bad, but if they are dispersed, they are actually not much different from ordinary humans."

"Rabbit ......"

"What, is Wu also interested?"

Purple eyes flashed with a teasing light.

"Could it be that the girl's heart has awakened and wants to care for the cute little rabbit?"

“...... How is that possible, stupid. ”

Takeya blackened his face and ignored Purple's joke.

"Hehe, if you're interested, then go and have a look."

Touting Takeya in an encouraging tone, Zi probably also felt too idle so she wanted to find something to do.

"Anyway, Wu Ye can't help here, go catch a rabbit, maybe you can solve the problem of supper."

"Are you sure I caught it instead of it catching me?"

Wu also said with a sneer:

"Although I don't think I'm inferior to a rabbit in terms of ability, I can be 300% sure in combat effectiveness, and the person who is abused and overturned alone will definitely be me!"

"Allah, let's not let Wu Ya you catch a monster, it's okay to be an ordinary rabbit."

"Refuse."

Wu also hung the dead fish eyes that were not energetic and said:

"Anyway, why should I do such a boring thing?"

"You're idle anyway, don't you?"

“...... You have a point, but it's not a reason for me to die! ”

"Hush."

With a disgruntled boo, Purple turned her head slightly childishly.

"It's boring."

"Hehe......"

I'm sorry I can't amuse you!

Pouting, Wu Ye continued to stare at the pitch-black bamboo forest.

Although he rejected the death plan that Zi suggested to him, it didn't mean that he lost interest in this lost bamboo forest.

He just didn't want to go inside.

"But if you look at the entrance, it shouldn't be a problem......?"

With such a thought, Wu Ye subconsciously walked towards the entrance of the bamboo forest, and Zi Wei, who caught a glimpse of this scene, smiled imperceptibly, such an expression made Alice on the opposite side inexplicably chill behind her back.

Babbling –

There was a noticeable movement in the bamboo forest, and although it was difficult to tell the exact location due to the light, it was still no problem to find the general direction.

"Over there?"

Not far from the entrance of the bamboo forest, there is a straight road paved with stones, so you can return the same way as soon as you encounter anything.

The apprehensions in his heart gradually disappeared, and Takeya slowly took the first step, then the second and third steps, until he completely followed the "straight" path in his eyes to the place where the voice had just come from.

Stretched out his hand to remove some dense bamboo leaves, and what caught his eye was not a monster beast with bared teeth as he imagined, but just an ordinary snow-white rabbit.

The moment it met Takeya's gaze, it jumped into the depths of the bamboo forest as if it was frightened.

"Whew."

I don't know if I was disappointed because I thought too much or I was glad for my safety, Takeya let out a long breath, and then prepared to return the way he came, but when he turned around, he was completely dumbfounded.

"How could it be ......?"

The road in front of you is not as straight as when you enter the bamboo forest, but an endless spiral twisted by a pile of crooked bamboo.

"Missing your way back?"

Obviously, I walked in in a straight line, why did I just turn around and everything changed?!

Standing in place at a loss, perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged in the range that Takeya could see now was probably the false full moon hidden in the cracks in the sky covered with bamboo leaves.

And after perceiving that Wu Ye was completely lost in the bamboo forest, the two pairs of bright red pupils in the darkness slowly showed a smile......
