"Yes, first of all, let me answer a question for you that has been bothering you, and it can also be said that it has plagued most of the monsters and humans in Gensokyo."

As she spoke, the ancestral shrine maiden didn't know where to take out two cans of beer from the outside world: "Do you want to drink?" ”

"Hey, I'm still underage."

"Hehe, little ghost."

As if she had already guessed Takeya's answer, the ancestor witch opened the beer and drank it together, and at the same time led Takeya to the bench on the side of the road.

It seems that her story should be very long.

It's just that Wu Ye, who followed behind the previous generation of witches, but for some reason, always felt that the can of beer in the other party's hand had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Anyway, sit down first."

The shrine maiden sat down by herself, and then motioned for Takeya to sit on the chair next to her.

After Takeya and Aryo sat down, the first shrine maiden spoke: "Speaking of which, Takeya asked this question before. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The power of the Hakurei shrine maiden."

The first generation of witches used just a few words to make Wu Ye no longer dare to think nonsense, for fear of missing something.

"In Gensokyo, the Witch of Hakurei is invincible—this is what Purple said, and it is also the conclusion that countless youkai have used the fact that they have been defeated."

The ancestor witch shook the beer can in her hand, and her expression did not look much complacent: "This is also the case, I can tell you unequivocally, in Gensokyo, the Hakurei witch is 'invincible'. ”

“...... I know that," Takeya paused, and said, "Just look at Reimu's appearance, the Witches of Hakurei are not very strong, it's like cheating." ”

"Are you cheating......." chewing these two words in her mouth, the expression of the ancestor witch looked a little inexplicable.

"What's wrong?"

"No, this is a sudden feeling that although Wu Ye is usually a little staying, you actually have quite a good eye."

“......”

Wu Ye's face is a little dark, are you praising me or am you hurting me?

"Cheating, that's a very good description."

The ancestor witch raised her head and poured a sip of wine, her eyes calm and terrifying: "Like you said, the power of the Hirori witch depends on cheating. ”

"Huh?" Wu was also stunned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the previous witch.

"Wouldn't it be clear if you think about it? That kind of power can't be obtained by cultivation at all, let alone which Hakuri witch you've ever seen cultivated? ”

“......”

This is true, at least Wu has never seen Reimu cultivate, and almost all of her time is spent on her dedication to race money and drinking tea and eating dumplings......

"In that case, where did the power of the Hakurei shrine maiden come from—you want to ask?" Looking at the silent Wu Ye, the ancestor witch smiled and said, "Don't you already know the answer?" Of course it's cheating. ”

Wu Ye looked at the ancestor witch, still did not speak, but put on a posture of listening, the ancestor witch drank alone, and did not know whether it was the shallow degree of beer or the relationship between her good amount of alcohol, her expression was gloomy, and there was no sign of blushing on her head.

"A long, long time ago, no, not that long, in that era when youkai had not faded out of the human world, there was such a person, her name is no longer known, and people only call her by the name of the shrine she represents."

"Because she is a shrine maiden who belongs to Hakurei Shrine, people call her Hakurei shrine maiden."

"The life of the shrine maiden is an extremely ordinary life, and the shrine where she is located is very small, so small that she is the only one in this shrine."

"The shrine maiden's daily work is to undertake the commissions of the pilgrims, some please exorcise demons, some ask to retreat from the monsters, in short, as long as the shrine maiden can do it, she will do it."

"Even if you walk out of the shrine, no one knows her, even if you retreat a few times, no one will remember her, her life is small, bland, boring, no one cares about her - it should be so."

"But at the end of her life, the shrine maiden did something that several generations, or even dozens or hundreds of generations, could not do."

"At the cost of her own life, she used her soul as a cornerstone to build the world called Paradise, Gensokyo, in its original form."

"The Great Barrier of Hakurei, which isolates Gensokyo from the real world as an 'extraordinary knowledge' - this is the great work of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, the first Hakurei Shrine Maiden."

"In the short and ordinary life of the first shrine maiden, there is only one thing that can be called unsurpassed greatness—I thought so a long time ago."

After a pause in the words of the previous shrine maiden, she lowered her head, and the shadow leaned obliquely to the side, like the scattered dandelions, a kind of imitation that did not know where the road ahead was deeply implied.

"Isn't that so?" The long silence made Wu Ye at a loss, and he couldn't help but speak: "The Great Barrier created by the ancestor witch who sacrificed her life, our words...... It seems that there is nothing else to say except for the sentence 'very powerful', right? ”

"Isn't it amazing? Ah, indeed, it's amazing. ”

The ancestor shrine maiden nodded, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little meaningless: "She is indeed very powerful, it is better to say that this first generation of adults is simply not like words, and it is precisely because of her 'gift' that the prestige of the Hakurei shrine maiden can continue to this day." ”

“...... Gift? ”

"Didn't I say that? The power of the Hirori shrine maiden is obtained by cheating, and the person who helped us cheat is the ancestor witch, and this power is inherited from her. ”

"Really?"

It's not that I haven't thought about this, but because there is no way to prove it, I have never confirmed it.

If the strength of the previous generation of shrine maidens can be explained by their extraordinary talent, then there is no reason why Reimu, who had just inherited the power of the Hakuri shrine maiden, was so powerful.

But if there is a inheritance, then all doubts can be dropped into stone, and there are many examples of the power deposited in the object and passed on, isn't that how those so-called treasures come from?

If you think about it this way, is it yin and yang jade, or is it a royal coin? It can't be the shrine maiden costume, right?

"Huh."

Roughly aware of what Wu Ye thought, the laughter of the previous generation of witches was gloomy and very penetrating.

"You seem to be thinking too much, Takeya, my words have been made very clear, the power of the Hakurei shrine maiden is 'inherited from the previous generation of shrine maidens'."

"Huh?"

"Don't you understand? Let me put it another way. ”

The ancestor witch looked down at Takeya's right hand, and suddenly said, "Takeya, the demonic power of the big monster level on your body was obtained from other monsters, right?" ”

"Uh, yes."

"How does it feel?"

"Feeling...... I don't feel anything, it's just that I suddenly gained a lot of power, and people haven't been able to ...... for so long Belch? ”

Takeya said that he was suddenly stunned, and when he looked at the ancestral shrine maiden again, he felt that he seemed to understand what the so-called "cheating" meant.
