Chapter 123: Angel Falls (Fog!)
The mist is thick and steaming, and the hot springs are often painted in this style, so it is naturally not too surprising.
As the night became more and more thick, the temperature in Gensokyo at night seemed to be dropping rapidly, with a somewhat cool chill.
But it's still summer after all, and it's not much cold, so it's hard to enjoy this kind of thing like a hot spring, and it's still in a strange place after all, so a few girls haven't stayed too long.
Yukino under the snow was the first to leave, she is not a character who can easily mingle with unfamiliar people, especially now, when Yui Yui Yuira is not there, she and others naturally don't have much in common.
However, Sanae Kazuya and Megumi Kato were able to chat together inexplicably, although the former was talking with great interest, and the latter looked calm and occasionally answered a few words, but even if they could talk, the atmosphere would not be cold.
"This is your clothes, Miss Under the Snow, do you need my help?"
Yakumo Lan who was waiting outside was still very polite and polite, no matter what she thought of this kind of task in her heart, but at least she represented the face of the Yakumo family, so she couldn't be rude......
"No, no, thank you......"
Wrapped in a long white and clean bath towel, the long straight black girl who covered most of her body shook her head a little stiffly, she was not too used to being served by a girl who was obviously a monster like this.
"You're welcome." Yakumo Lan replied calmly.
The girl took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then looked at the clothes in her hands, and suddenly found that this was her usual school uniform, as well as some other clothes that were matched, and was slightly stunned: "This dress is ......"
Could it be that the man went back to his house and brought his clothes?
"This is a magic dress that the adults just made, and he said that if you don't make it like this, it won't make sense, because Miss Yukishita, you usually spend most of your time at school, and you only dress up like this......"
Yakumo Lan seemed to have expected this for a long time, and explained calmly.
"Magic dress?"
Xue Xia didn't react for a while, isn't this the concept of equipment props used by magicians recorded in the notes I got recently? It is said that there are many different functions and shapes, but they can be easily divided into two systems.
One is a costume that has amplification functions such as amplification and replenishment of mana when the magician uses magic; On the other hand, the dress itself has a pre-set effect, and that effect will naturally be exerted when used.
"Yes, that's what your lord said...... And "he" has prepared two sets for you. β
The fox demon girl nodded affirmatively, although this concept was also very novel to her, but it was not too difficult to understand.
ββ¦β¦β
Xue Xia glanced at the fox demon girl holding another set of clothes in her hand, and she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt relieved.
It's like the feeling of a few days ago, as if I went to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster, no matter how much I was up and down before, I was nervous, but now I am back on the ground, and I have a sense of peace of mind.
Of course, she was not delighted by the new clothes, but she felt a sense of relief that she had not been left behind.
This feeling has appeared since she entered Gensokyo this afternoon, and it has become more and more intense, the main reason is because of the banquet at Hakurei Shrine in the afternoon, she was thinking about how to deal with those inhuman girls carefully-
However, there is no need to deal with it at all, except for the big grin and naturally self-familiar personality of the Misty Rain Marisa, the others don't seem to pay much attention to their group of outsiders, let alone deliberately making things difficult and finding faults, and they don't even have the interest to come and ask.
Only the two gods at Moriya Shrine paid a little more attention, and the others didn't seem to attract much attention from the residents of Gensokyo.
Marisa explained it, saying that it wasn't that they were arrogant or looked down on people, but that the gap between humans and non-humans was too great, and they were two completely different worlds, so there was often no intersection, not to mention that most ordinary people were often the ones who actively excluded non-humans.
Therefore, they naturally will not be so enthusiastic and proactive towards ordinary people who have just come in from the outside world and are completely strangers...... But that doesn't mean they're really arrogant, looking down on people or anything, and if you really want to make friends with them, it's not really difficult.
Of course, in the back, it's about Marisa's own boasting, which seems to be very experienced in this, but when it comes to it, after saying a lot, the point can probably be summed up in the four words "stalking".
It's because she's so faceless and skinless that she has the widest social circle in the entire Gensokyo.
Up to all the big monsters, big ghosts, and gods can talk, down to the claim that Gensokyo is the strongest who can only freeze frogs, and no one comes out to oppose this self-proclaimed ice goblin, she can play with each other and have fun completely.
There's no Kiri Rain Marisa's sassy personality under the snow.,And it's not time to master the methodology.,All she cares about is the sentence that the other party says casually-
"Man and non-man are two worlds."
This is what makes her feel uneasy, coupled with the unexpected changes that Xia Ran has seen at present, it seems that she has suddenly become unfamiliar, arbitrary, and has no taboos, as if she doesn't care about anyone else at all......
Even if she knew that the other party was not entirely in charge now, and that there was the influence of Yakumo Purple, that the magic envoy of that realm was the result of the merger of the two, and it belonged to the existence of a third party formed by the convergence of two wills, she still couldn't avoid thinking cranky.
But now, it's suddenly settled downβ
It's just that this sense of security didn't last for three seconds, and she suddenly thought of a very critical question: "Wait, in this way, Kato-san's clothes are also ready?" β
"Yes, of course, this kind of thing will not be missed, it is all ready."
The fox demon girl said, she felt that there was no need to ask this question at all-
"And the adults have already asked me to prepare a guest room in the Yakumo Mansion, if you finish bathing, you can go there with me to rest later, and I have already brought the girl named Yubihama first......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
It seems to be very thoughtful and considerate, and it is not really ruthless to the extent that he and others have to spend the night in the sundries warehouse.
But I just don't know why, it seems that suddenly there is nothing to be happy about...... Xue Xia looked expressionless, looking at the dress in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Next, there was no word for the night.
It seemed to spend the first night in Gensokyo peacefully, and nothing happened.
However, all this is just the calm before the storm.
The night that covered the earth faded, and dawn began to arrive, followed by the dawn of the rising sun, piercing the last haze and pouring the sun onto the earth like a thousand sharp swords.
As the manager and mediator of Gensokyo, Hakuri Reimu is not a person who gets up early and is greedy for darkness, her routine is very regular, she usually goes to bed early at night, but often gets up late during the day.
After all, what's the point of waking up so early? She didn't have the luxury to develop the habit of eating breakfast, and the Hakurei Shrine was so poor that there wasn't much to do, and it didn't even take ten minutes to clean up the inside and outside of the shrine......
Therefore, even if Hakuri Reimu is already awake, he will continue to lie quietly on his bed like a salted fish that has lost his dream, not wanting to move.
I can't say she's lazy, but the main thing is to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, so that I can support myself for a longer period of time, until the next opportunity to replenish the shrine's food reserves comes...... Well, that makes sense.
It's just that today it seems that someone came to the door early to disturb it, and there was a rather noisy sound outside the shrine.
Who is it! Why is it so annoying?
It must be Marisa, right?! Recently, that guy has been annoyed like an alarm clock, and he comes to the door on time every morning to make noise, and the most annoying thing is that this alarm clock can't be hammered, and the next day it will be on time again.
The Witch sighed and walked out of her room with some reluctance, ready to try again if she could break the annoying alarm clock so that she could sleep well tomorrow......
Well, it's too light, after all, the doctor in Forever Pavilion has clever means, not to mention that people still have a breath, even if she has just died, she can be saved, if the injury is light, the alarm clock ...... Marisa was able to be discharged from the hospital in one day.
When I walked out of the shrine, I found that there was indeed a group of people gathered outside the door, discussing something.
Reimu Hakurei frowned, as if it wasn't Marisa who was making noise today? She looked around and saw that they were all acquaintances, only two of them were members of the group that had just entered Gensokyo yesterday.
A dead fish-eyed boy and a brown-haired girl, both of them were discussing something with the group of people that Hakuri Reimu was familiar with, and their tones were weak.
"I don't know why it hasn't changed......"
"I didn't feel anything......"
The Witch of Hakurei frowned, obviously she was still an ordinary person who had just entered Gensokyo yesterday, why did she mingle with the residents of Gensokyo so quickly today? And why is it just the two of them, where did the others go?
Looking at the people who were talking to these two outsiders, Hakurei Reimu was even more inexplicable, and she even saw a very troublesome figure in itβit was a short-haired green girl wearing a white shirt, a red plaid waistcoat, and a long skirt.
It's just that at this moment, this big monster who is the most difficult to talk to has not exuded the slightest momentum, and it seems that even the demonic energy has been retracted cleanly, with a regrettable calm expression, quietly listening to what the people around him are discussing.
There is no previous performance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, obviously when she was at a banquet before, even if she came, she was sitting alone in a corner...... What's going on today? Has this lord of flowers of the four seasons changed his sex?
Bo Li Reimu subconsciously took a look at it, and found that this group of people really couldn't beat the eight poles, except for living together in Gensokyo, there was basically not much intersection in normal times, but today it was unprecedented to get together here at her shrine early in the morning......
So, what kind of plane are these people working on?
"Ah, you're a Hakurei shrine maiden, aren't you? It's just in time, we're having some problems right now, so I'd like to ask you about it......" At this time, someone also noticed the existence of Hakurei Reimu.
The little girl in blue clothes with ice wings on her back walked over, looked at the Hakurei shrine maiden standing in front of the shrine, looked her up and down, and said calmly.
Belch......
I have to say that even Hakuri Reimu was stunned by this strange scene at this moment.
Is this still the silly ice goblin? No matter how strange it is, how could she have such a calm and even wise performance? With his hands on his hips, he laughed and shouted, "The old lady is the strongest in Gensokyo...... That's Kiruno, right?
"Cirno...... What's wrong with you? Did you pick up something to eat at the Lake of Fog today? Mikomi-sama forced a grin, and she suspected that Kirino might have gotten a little silly again.
Everyone knows that a person who does not know how to give up and be flexible is very scary, because as long as he is alive, he will not stop.
And this principle is perfect for a silly ice goblin, because goblins are natural phenomena and will never die, plus if she is still stupid...... That's pretty damn.
- Just as Kiruno firmly believes that he is the strongest in Gensokyo, even Kazami Yuuka, who has always been intolerant of other people's provocations, will only pretend not to hear.
Mikomi-sama felt that she couldn't afford to deal with such a foolish goblin, and the best way to deal with Qiluno was to follow her in everything, and let her leave satisfied, if she did...... It's going to be annoyed!
"I don't know who Kiruno you're talking about, I'm not Kiruno, I'm Suwako who came to Gensokyo yesterday......"
The Ice Elf didn't care, just shook his head.
"Huh? What are you kidding? Hakuri Reimu frowned, turned her head to look, and saw the princess of the Eternal Pavilion walking up.
This girl who is wearing a Japanese-style dress, but with ruffles, bows and other dress-style elements, has flat bangs that have been cut out with a beautiful face, and long black straight hair that is over the waist, and she looks directly at Hakuri Reimu with those beautiful and bright red eyes-
"Miss Reimu, I just asked you to stay overnight yesterday, do you remember this?"
