"Really? You're here to investigate this full moon anomaly. ”

After listening to Wu Ye's explanation, the younger sister nodded clearly, and then threw the finished cigarette butt in the bamboo forest casually, seeing that the corner of his eye twitched.

"Well, to be honest, I'm curious about who did this."

"Yes, yes? Don't you know either? ”

Hearing Mei Hong's answer, Wu Ye's expression was complicated.

Disappointed? Or maybe there is, but maybe it's more likely to be lucky, after all, if you get involved with the guy in front of you, things might get more troublesome.

Of course, this is not to say that Wu Ye has any prejudice against Mei Hong, it is just that he knows her character too well.

Sister Hong's full name is Fujiwara Sister Hong.,If you trace back from the surname.,Maybe she was also the eldest lady who came out of some terrible family.。

It's just that the current Meihong wears a formal shirt on the upper body, and the lower body is hung with pants like work clothes with a strap, although it feels like a hakama (note), but it is more of a Yakuza feel, especially since she also likes to smoke.

Except for the knee-length white hair with many bows, I'm afraid there is no feature that a girl should have.,Well,Boobs too.,It's a complete boy's feeling.。

In Gensokyo, whether it is a youkai or a human woman, there are few people who wear pants like Mei Hong, and most of them wear various skirts.

But what makes Meihong different is not this, but her identity.

She's not a monster, but she's not a human either, if you have to say it, she's from Penglai.

If the Penglai people are interpreted in a broad sense, they should be immortals who live in the land of Penglai, but in Gensokyo, the Penglai people have only one interpretation, that is, the immortal people who have taken the medicine of Penglai.

To put it simply, if the distance between humans and monsters is compared to the two ends of a line, then the Penglai people are located at the point on the center line of this line segment, separated by the same distance from humans and demons.

She is considered the farthest human from humans, the farthest from the youkai, or it can be said that she does not rely on either side.

The ability to be immortal is also an absolute superior existence among youkai, but her body and spirit do not belong to youkai.

Immortality and immortality among human beings are probably a state that humans can reach one day sooner or later, but it is still too far away, so she is not a complete human being.

Even though she feels hungry on an empty stomach and hurts from her injuries, she is neither a human nor a youkai.

The only thing that can correctly explain Meihong's existence like this is from the realm of Yakumo Zi-

"The immortal Penglai people refer to the existence where the realm of life and death has completely disappeared, and the non-human beings closest to the realm of legends"

This is what Wu Ye once asked, and Zi gave the definition of Penglai people.

As far as Wu also knows, the Penglai people in Gensokyo are currently the only ones who are popular.

"Speaking of which, Takeya, did you just do something?"

"Huh?"

"You see, in my memory, the rabbits here are at most like to play pranks, and I haven't seen them officially attack humans, especially like just now, and even use their abilities."

Mei Hong looked at Wu Ye strangely and asked:

"Did you do anything?"

"I don't know, I was suddenly deceived by that hateful rabbit."

"Really?"

Wu Ye's depression didn't seem to be fake, and Mei Hong also believed that the other party had no need to lie, so she smiled and said:

"In that case, I'll help too."

"Huh?"

Wu also looked at the positive sister Hong in surprise.

"Are you going to help with the anomaly, too?"

"Aren't you completely separated from the shrine maidens now? And they're still fighting, aren't they? ”

"Uh......"

Although it was a little embarrassing, Mei Hong was right, and now Marisa and Reimu are probably still fighting each other.

"Wouldn't that be the case? Takeya: Can you fight? ”

“...... No, you can't. ”

"That's it, only I can help you, haha."

Patting Wu Ye's shoulder boldly, Mei Hong looked extremely enthusiastic, although Wu as a beneficiary should not say much, but in a sense he was still quite embarrassed.

Under normal circumstances, Mei Hong is not so enthusiastic about people, she is better at thinking alone, and she doesn't like to cause trouble to others, and this kind of character gives people the impression that she is unsociable.

But in fact, she is a kind person.

Usually, Mei Hong is responsible for the security of the people, but it is said to be a guard, and when there is no invasion of powerful monsters, her job is generally to take out the humans who have strayed into the lost bamboo forest.

In the people, no, in Gensokyo, there are only three people who can make Mei Hong treat specially, one of them is Huiyin, it is said that Mei Hong used to be taken care of by her in the past, so now the place where you can often see Mei Hong during the day is probably the temple house.

And then the other one is Wu Ye, the reason is very simple, that is, in Mei Hong's opinion, although Wu Ye is not from Penglai, he is very similar to Penglai people, and he also belongs to the category of "immortality".

Probably a pity for the same kind.,Sister Hong has taken special care of Wu Ye since she was a child.,There was a period of time when Wu Ye was kidnapped out of the shrine as a little brother.,And let Wu also call her "big sister head.。

Although this title was later discarded because Wu Ye grew up and had a sense of shame, this did not prevent the relationship between the two.

More than ordinary friends, it should be like, sister and brother?

Anyway, because of such an inexplicable relationship, the relationship between Wu Ye and Mei Hong has always been very good.

And then there is the last person who was treated by Mei Hong specially, and I don't know much about that person even if it's Wu, even Hui Yin is silent about it, and her name is not clear, it is said that she is Mei Hong's enemy, and every time you meet, you have to fight to the death.

It's just that because Meihong won't die, this statement is roughly inaccurate......

Hawkers, in short, this is another kind of special treatment.

"So, did you hear Huiyin say that the prisoner is in this bamboo forest?"

Hearing Wu Ye's explanation, Mei Hong's eyes asked strangely.

"Teacher Huiyin said, 'Even if it's not, you can know more important information.'"

Wu also repeated Huiyin's words, and then looked at Mei Hong strangely.

"By the way, sister Hong, it turns out that you live in the Lost Bamboo Forest?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... I always thought you were living with Huiyin. ”

"Ahem, what are you talking about!"

slapped Takeya's head hard, and Meihong's face flushed abnormally.

"I have my own home, why should I live with Huiyin, stupid!"

"Just talk well, don't do it casually, barbaric ......"

While rubbing the back of his aching head, Wu Ye complained in a low voice, thanks to Mei Hong's hands, she still knows the severity, otherwise Wu Ye has already "gone home" now.

"So, do you have any clues, after all, you live here."

“...... Well, probably, you can come with me first. ”

The strange flush on her face faded, and rarely, the girl's expression became slightly unnatural.

"If Huiyin said that someone who might know the news lives here, I think it's just that guy."
