Chapter 7: Rejected Hopes

"You said to help you, what's going on, what the hell is Wu Ye...... him"

Everything that happened in front of her was far beyond Reimu's comprehension, and it was not something difficult for her to come back from the dead as she lived in Gensokyo.

However, Takeya's situation is clearly above this.

Not to mention that the Hades who were in charge of the dead souls had disappeared, and just because of Takeya's current appearance, Reimu would not simply feel that it was a simple word "resurrection" that could explain it.

"You obviously told me that Wu Ye has been-" Reimu stared at Zi tightly, with indescribable annoyance, joy, and a little unknowable dazedness in his eyes.

"Yes, we said it, because at that time, even we thought that it was impossible for Wu to come back."

Purple admitted her mistake, but didn't want to defend anything: "But Reimu, there is still a chance to bring Wu Ye back intact." ”

"Full ......."

Reimu could naturally see that Takeya's current situation was very wrong, so she had to be clear.

"Purple, please tell me," Reimu looked into Purple's eyes and said with a solemn and unquestioning look, "What the hell happened?" ”

“...... Okay. ”

With a sigh of nonchalance, Purple didn't insist anymore, whether it was a position or an individual, Reimu had the right to know all this..... and obligations.

"We'll tell you everything, and I hope you'll be able to listen calmly."

"Hmm."

Purple's earnestness infected Reimu, and the attitude that this gap youkai had never had in his memory appeared in front of his eyes for the first time.

In a trance, Reimu understood something, from this moment on, the other party was no longer standing in front of him as an elder or guardian.

Now that the ancestor Witch Jing has completely left, no matter how unwilling she is to admit it, she also knows that she has grown up, and she must grow up.

"We'll tell you everything, but until then, we have to hurry, because we don't know when they'll find out."

Yakumo pressed her hands to the sides of Reimu's temples, and with the latter completely unresisting, she retrieved the precious memory.

Originally, this method of reading memories would not have caused a coma, and the people who had been attacked by Yakumo Purple had not woken up until now because she was deliberately creating a sign of mutation.

After Reimu, Marisa didn't resist letting Yakumo take the memories, and after getting all the memory fragments, she gave them to Harumi behind her.

“...... I did receive it. ”

Qingming solemnly took the last two memory fragments from Purple's hands, and by this point, she had all these most important memories about Takeya in the entire Gensokyo.

Gathering all the fragments on her hands, her dark eyes turned a blurry crimson at this moment, and the light of memory flickered in front of her eyes, turning into indescribable shapes.

Looking at this bizarre sight, Reimu gently pressed her hand to her heart, and a wonderful feeling welled up in her heart.

Although the read memories did not disappear directly from her mind, she was aware that something important in her body was slowly draining away.

Also feeling the same way is Yakumo Murasaki, who gave her share of the fragment to Harumi as early as the beginning.

It was a last-ditch effort, and they had no other choice.

Jingle bells.

It seemed to be a sound from the soul, and the crystal "butterfly" was hatched from that memory, and its thin wings spread out, and it slowly rose towards the distant starry sky overhead.

Piercing the distance between space and time, the Seven Shadow Butterflies flew towards the edge of the twisted world.

"How long will it take?" Looking at the Seven Shadow Butterflies in the distance, Yakumo Purple can say.

"I don't know," Qingming's hands were still held up, and she said lightly, "In principle, the Seven Shadow Butterfly is not bound by the rules of any world, and the time it takes to penetrate this layer of space to the outside should not exist. ”

"Means it's going to be soon, isn't it?"

"It's okay if you understand it that way."

"Hey."

Roughly interrupting Yakumo and Harumi's conversation, Reimu stared at them and said, "I've done what you said, now it's time to tell me everything, right?" ”

"No question, this is what we agreed on from the beginning." Yakumo Zi didn't intend to settle the debt this time, and at this moment, Qingming suddenly turned around without warning and threw out a series of talismans, blasting towards the empty ruins of the moon.

"You two, although it is rude, but I'm afraid this matter needs to be postponed a little."

Although everyone here is her "acquaintance", it makes sense that she will not intervene in the conversation between Purple and Reimu without interest, but she has to do so.

Not far behind them, a familiar aura suddenly appeared in the void, and Zi and Qingming, who were not strangers to this, both changed their faces slightly.

All of the runes' attacks failed, and the Gate of Books opened above the ruins of the Moon Capital, and the Black Book and the Shrine Maiden appeared on the other side of the door.

“...... Grandma? Dumbfounded as she looked at the shrine maiden who appeared, Reimu's heart shook for a moment, and then suddenly regained her calm.

Without hesitation, she pointed the imperial coin at the "Ancestral Shrine Maiden" in front of her, and said coldly: "That's not right! Who the hell are you?! ”

"Hey, is this also intuition, it's all cheating."

The "Ancestral Shrine Maiden" wearing a white trench coat showed an excited expression, took out a cigarette from her breast pocket and put it in her mouth, but the lighter in her hand never lit up.

After all, it's the moon.

Throwing the lighter aside without care, the "Ancestor Shrine Maiden" lit a cigarette with spiritual power: "Should I say that it is worthy of 'Reimu', this intuition is really powerful, I wanted to fight with you a long time ago." ”

"Stupid, we're not here to play, hurry up and get down to business." Kuro no Hime's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the head of the previous shrine maiden, making her show an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Okay, okay, what a boring guy," the shrine maiden spread her hands helplessly, and turned her gaze from Reimu to Harumina, "I won't say that it's so boring for you to go back with us, so take it out if you have any afterthoughts." ”

"......" Qingming squinted at the witch maiden for a while before saying, "It doesn't matter, my business has been done, and it doesn't hurt to go back with you." ”

"Is that what you want to do?" The witch looked at the Seven Shadow Butterfly in the sky with great interest, and said, "I said you, did you pretend to be an onmyoji, and your reason also evaporated with that character?" ”

“...... What do you mean? ”

"Literally, why do you think we can't find out what you're up to?" The witch put away her playful expression and said, "This is no longer a 'story' prepared for him, the reality is very cruel, Qishi." ”

Click.

It was like the sound of glass breaking, and the moment it sounded in everyone's hearts, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to the distant Seven Shadow Butterfly, like fireworks, it turned into starry dust at the end of the world and slowly disappeared......

......

......

[In this way, their hopes were completely shattered, that dream, that prayer, still could not be achieved, and they were rejected at the edge of the world, and the person who rejected it was none other than what they hoped to recall, Takasaka Takeya himself.

Self-exile was his own choice, so whether it was out of responsibility or safety, Takeshi Takasaka could not respond to their expectations, and this was the reality.

Despair was like a dark cloud, once again hanging over their hearts, and the soulless body became an eternal curse bound to Qingming's body, which was clearly in front of them but could not be touched in any way.

This is the punishment for her betrayal, the loss of her qualification as a weapon, and the deprivation of the meaning of her existence there, which is the original intention of evil.

For the first time, the golden boy stepped into the world he had created.

He had to complete the martial arts and couldn't complete it.,The work that belongs to the hero.,End all illusions.,Let those who are still in a dream wake up completely.。

Then, put an end to this absurd story once and for all. 】

"Well, that's it." Putting down the pen in his hand and closing the finished work, the boy stretched a big lazy waist.

"Allah, where did you go, you were actually lazy in the department, no, Luo Jun, Zixue will be angry like this." The sound of complaining outside the door made the young man stunned.

After a pause, he showed a sudden expression: "I almost forgot, you are the Yang of this timeline, that kind of title is really a long time ago." ”

"Luo Jun, are you sleepy? If you're past the age of secondary two, please don't pretend to be stupid in this way, you'll be hated by girls. ”

His eyes fell on the book in the young man's hand, and Yang Nai asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"I guess it's right, I wrote it, do you want to read it?" The boy smiled and handed the book to Yono.

"Amazing, does Luo Jun still have this hobby?" said that he was surprised, but his face didn't show it at all, and he took Deyang Nai and looked at it casually.

The boy did not wait for her to think, but walked around her and walked out.

"Don't forget the work of the executive committee, Luo Jun," Yang Nai said without raising his head, "Xue Nai's burden is very heavy, since he is a member of the ministry, he must learn to understand the minister's difficulties." ”

"It's really a wonderful point in time.,School Festival? It seems that you can enjoy it for a long time," Listening to the noise outside the window, the young man paused slightly, and then strode away, waving his hand to Yang Nai behind him: "I'll go out, help me talk to Xue Nai, and I'll be back soon." ”

“ok~”

After casually agreeing, Yang Nai realized that something was wrong and raised his head: "Xue Nai? Speaking of which, when did the relationship become so good, the two of them ......"
