Chapter 18
"It shouldn't be......"
The red-haired girl circled around Takeya, her head full of questions unanswered.
"Aren't you an undead?"
"I don't know, aren't you the god of death, don't ask me about this kind of thing......"
Takeya himself didn't understand what was going on, and somehow the other party began to say things to him that he didn't understand.
"Strange, has the Grim Reaper's abilities failed?"
The red-haired girl frowned, and she stopped and looked up and down at Takeya in front of her.
"Theoretically, a human soul like you should not be able to resist the breath of death, and it is natural to become in such a spirit state, but why ......?"
The bewildered girl reached out and pinched Takeya's arm, and Takeya, who was in pain with merciless force, gasped.
"Shhhh
"The body's perception is not blurred, it is exactly the same as when it was alive, what the hell ......is this?"
After pondering for a while, the red-haired girl suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.
"I see!"
With a fist in her right hand, the red-haired girl looked at Takeya in surprise:
"After a long time, it turns out that you are really not an undead."
“...... Yes? ”
Although he said that he didn't seem to be dead when he heard it, he didn't know why, and the current Wu Ye was inexplicably not happy at all.
"Hmm- your current situation is troublesome, to put it simply in a way that you humans can understand, you are now halfway dead, or have one foot in the realm of death."
“...... Do not understand. ”
"Well, what do you say, by the way, don't you humans say that? When you're dying, you suddenly remember things from the past and something. ”
"You mean ......"
Hearing the girl's messy statement, Wu also thought hard for a while, and tried to say:
"Marquee?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a marquee."
The girl nodded in agreement:
"Your current state is what you humans call a 'marquee', and in fact it is no different from the dead, after all, the soul is going to be exceeded, but conceptually you are still alive, because your body is not dead."
At first glance, it sounds reasonable, but think about it!
“...... Hey, you're really fake, and I've never heard of anyone's marquee going to the Santu River! ”
"Why don't you believe me, I'm a grim reaper."
The red-haired girl expressed her incomprehension of Takeya's questioning:
"And your current state is very powerful, there has never been such an example in the thousands of years since I served as the god of death of the Santuhe, you are the first."
“......”
What, your statement is the same as that of advertising, have I become the first soul in a thousand years to come here because of a marquee? I couldn't be happier!
"And how can I go back?"
Wu also stared at a pair of dead fish eyes to see the girl uncomfortable, only to hear him say gloomily:
"Since I'm not dead, it's definitely not a good thing to stay here, right?"
"Of course."
The girl agrees with Takeya's statement, but-
"It's definitely not okay to stay here as a 'dead undead', it's against the rules, but it's not up to me to decide when you can go back."
"What do you mean?"
"Hmm-"
Xu felt that it could not be explained clearly in ordinary language, so the girl did not speak directly, but turned to ask Wu Ye another question:
"Have you ever passed out before?"
"Fainted?"
"I just accidentally hit my head, or ate something strange, and I lost consciousness anyway without intention."
"Well, there's been a ......"
Wu also nodded, his face was a little subtle, as if he remembered something unpleasant.
"That's good, you're in the same state now as you were when you passed out."
The red-haired girl shrugged her shoulders and said:
"What you can 'live' depends on when your body recovers from the state of 'death', generally speaking, normal people can wake up in half a day after fainting, but there are special cases like you that can't be considered in a normal situation, if you're unlucky, it's not impossible to faint until you die."
“...... Isn't that a vegetative state! ”
Said the meaning of the girl's words, Takeya's face became extremely ugly, although it is good news that he is not dead, but there is a probability of becoming a vegetative person, what is the matter with Nima?
Give yourself a candy and then give yourself a mace? Don't play like this!
"Haha, don't worry so much."
Seeing that Wu Ye's whole face was blackened, the red-haired girl smiled and waved her hand and said:
"That's the worst-case scenario, you should be able to go back safely, by the way, you don't look like a human from Gensokyo, you're from the outside world, right? If you don't have any acquaintances to take refuge into, why don't I arrange it for you for the time being? ”
"Uh......"
The red-haired girl's enthusiasm was beyond Takeya's expectations, but the other party seemed to have mistaken him for a human from the outside world, although there was nothing wrong with saying so......
If you ask the other party, you should be able to pick a safe place for yourself to wake up, right?
"Then please."
"Hmm- I remember that there was a new shrine on the side of Yokai Mountain, what is it called, Shouya Shrine likes, how about you go there for the time being and wait?"
"Never!"
In his current state, he will definitely be forcibly overtaken when he sees those two gods!
"Hey, why are you so resolute ......?"
Looking at Takeya with a determined face suspiciously, the red-haired girl was stunned in confusion, and then tried to ask:
"Then, there is a sunflower field around here, and the scenery is not bad, why don't you go where and wait?"
“...... Absolutely not for this either! ”
The devil knows what will happen to him when he sees that tyrant again, can he still use the trick to deceive the child a second time?
"You're really in trouble."
After two suggestions in a row were rejected, the red-haired girl said with some distress:
"If you don't go there, you won't go, so it's hard for you to follow me to the Santu River."
"Well, that's possible."
“...... Are you serious? It's really a problem with the head, there are actually living people who are willing to go to the Santu River. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's not what you said, aren't I 'half dead' now?"
Wu Ye smiled indifferently:
"And I'm still quite curious about the Three Ways River, so I'll leave it to you, Miss Death."
"Really, there really is such a guy in the world, forget it, it doesn't matter if I take you there, but relatively, don't trouble me."
"Understood."
"Well, there'......"
While guiding the undead around her, the red-haired girl casually introduced herself:
"Don't call me Miss Death, it sounds weird, call me Komachi, Onozuka Komachi - that's my name."
"The Grim Reaper also has a name......
After an unexpected pause, Wu Ye smiled:
"Understood, it's good that Miss Komachi calls me Takei."
"Takeya? I always feel like I've heard a name somewhere...... Forget it, let's go. ”
It seems to be unintentional to talk to himself.,After knowing Takeya's name, Komachi didn't say much.,Guide the undead to prepare to leave the Missing Mound.。
"Ah, yes."
Takeya, who followed behind, suddenly called out to her.
"Miss Komachi, since you're the Grim Reaper, there must be one, right?"
Thinking of this stubble, Wu also stretched out his hand and gestured:
"Death has a scythe, where did your scythe go? Didn't bring it? ”
"Huh? Scythe, I lost the money for wine yesterday, cough cough, no, I accidentally forgot it at home. ”
"Hey! I heard that! You actually took the scythe in exchange for wine money! Are you the Grim Reaper? Are you really the Grim Reaper! How could there be such a cold and unreliable Grim Reaper! ”
