Chapter 669 Be Honest

"It's really lively, you can hear their noisy voices here..."

Walking on the path among the mountains, Mu Xiu couldn't help sighing when he heard the noise from the mountain ahead.

"So, it's because of this that the concubine can't get along with them... It's really too noisy, and I don't know why they can be so happy."

And the black long straight girl who walked side by side with him seemed to be somewhat sullen, after hearing what he said, she pursed her lips and said.

"That's right, but since that's the case, why did you choose to come here, Kaguya?"

Mu Xiu smiled, and wisely didn't point out that she and Fujiwara Meihong killed each other yesterday, and that she was going to let herself drink giblet soup just now, but asked in a puzzled manner.

"..."

"..."

"Because if I don't come to the banquet, I have no other place to go... Although your place is more interesting, but I don't want to be under the same roof as Yakumo Zi, so forget it. "

Horai Kaguya's gaze stayed on the torii on the mountain for a moment, and then she looked at the thoughtful Mu Xiu, her eyes were a little suspicious, she always felt that this guy must have been thinking about something that was not good for her just now.

"At least you can tease Meihong by coming here, and you have never shown up, why don't you take this opportunity to get to know everyone?"

"..."

"..."

The latter asked back as if completely ignorant: "Get to know everyone? This is meaningless, I think I already know them—"

"But they don't know you. Some people always say I'm a concubine. You're even older than me...but they don't even know you exist, so they always say I'm a concubine. It's too unfair."

With a blank expression on her face, Her Royal Highness Princess stretched out a hand to smooth the hair on her forehead.

"That's why I think it's good. It's really not necessary for them to know me..."

"Sooner or later, I will need it. I remember the world over there, and you will be graduating soon..." Kaguya raised the back of his hand and rested his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Sooner or later, I still have to move to Gensokyo. here."

"Anyway, there's still some time left, don't worry...and I've been seriously thinking about pulling the world over there into "eternity" as well, I'll wait until I make a decision. "

Mu Xiu first twitched the corners of his mouth, and then he looked at the shrine on the mountain while talking.Although it is said that the shrine cannot be seen from this distance, only the dilapidated torii gates can be seen.

In Shinto, Suki is placed at the entrance of the shrine, which has a very important meaning.

That is the torii, as the name suggests, is the abode of birds.The torii gate was originally a place for spiritual birds, the messengers of gods, to rest.

It's just that the torii in front of the Hakurei Shrine is already so dilapidated, which Mu Xiu never thought about.It's just that from the day when this shrine was established until now, he hasn't been back much as the enshrined god, and in addition, it is still the inheritance of the Hakurei Miko that has been passed down from generation to generation——

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible to slowly become so dilapidated.

In fact, this also involves a "reflection" relationship.After all, the Hakurei Shrine also exists in a certain outside world, which is located in the mountains in remote areas such as Tohoku or Shikoku.

Just having the idea of ​​wanting to take a look, the next moment time has flowed clearly in my heart, Mu Xiu observed exactly what he wanted to observe:
Among the deep forests in the mountains, there is a dilapidated building located in a small piece of open woodland. It seems to be an ancient shrine that was abandoned because of its geographical location.

Small and dilapidated tiled eaves, decayed ancient wooden steps, stone brick surfaces covered with moss and moss... Even the torii gates have long since disappeared, I don’t know if they are completely decayed and turned into thick grass broken pieces of wood in it.

However, judging from the fact that the handwriting on the substitute card was completely blurred and could not be seen at all, it seemed that this shrine had such a long history that it was really possible.

It has been completely abandoned, and no one may even know that there is such an ancient shrine in this deep mountain.

Sighing silently, Mu Xiu looked away and looked at the shrine on the mountain again, listening to the lively voices.

It can be said that the Hakurei Shrine in the outside world is a dilapidated shrine that no one visits. This also has a great relationship with the Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo.

However, this reflected relationship has not reached an absolute level. For example, the Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo is dilapidated, and the Hakurei Shrine outside has been completely abandoned. This is obviously not the same situation.

At least within Gensokyo, the inheritance of the Hakurei Shrine is absolutely impossible to cut off, and Mu Xiu will not allow it to be cut off.

……

……

At this time, the time has begun to approach noon.

However, Hakurei Reimu is still as idle as in the morning at this time. She has no self-consciousness of a girl, stretches her hands and feet in all directions, lying on the roof blowing the wind, staring blankly at the different shapes of animals floating in the sky. white clouds.

The open space below has already started to become lively, and the guys who should come have already arrived in sevens and eights, the long tables have been set up, and the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the vixen of the Yakumo family are preparing in an orderly manner .

People gathered under the tree in twos and threes, or in groups, or talking, or drinking, or talking and laughing loudly, or...

Like those guys who look like Lolita, and their mentality and personality are like children, they are chasing and playing around the table or the trees around the shrine, and they are constantly playing.

For a while, the air around the shrine was filled with joy.

But the beautiful maiden of Paradise was full of remnants, her eyes staring at the sky absentmindedly, like a salted fish that had lost her dream.

From this morning until now, no one has exchanged money, not a single coin, not a single coin...

Damn, these guys, what kind of place do they think the shrine is!Holding a banquet here, but not even giving up a little sponsorship, how disregarding the majesty of God!

That's right, we must drive them away and let them understand... wait, this won't work, if we drive them all away, the banquet will not be held.

Do I have to live on tea and rice again today?

Finding herself in a dilemma, the pious priestess seemed to grit her teeth unwillingly.At this time, a scent of food and sake came from below along the breeze, and she immediately sat up full of motivation.

The food has gradually been placed on the long table, ready for people to eat, as for the aroma of the wine——

Reimu Hakuli looked over subconsciously, and couldn't help curling her lips immediately. She saw a small long-horned loli, holding a big wine gourd, and was sharing the wine while stealing a drink from herself.

A head of light brown long straight hair tied into a bunch near the tip.It has dark red pupils, a pair of long and curved horns that do not match its height on the left and right sides of its head, and a purple ribbon is tied on the left horn.

Has the body and appearance of a child, and is short in height.

This is Suika Ibuki, a ghost that appeared in Gensokyo for some reason. Since there have been no ghosts on the ground for a long time, the method of exorcising ghosts has been lost for a long time, and no one will cure ghosts. Everyone feels embarrassed.

So she and the other ghosts could settle down.

Of course, this is also the fact that the monsters on the ground acquiesce. After all, the rift between the monsters on the ground and the non-humans on the ground has been forged thousands of years ago.

It's just that no matter how strong the dissatisfaction and suspicion are, as long as it's not the engraved hatred, it will gradually fade away after thousands of years have passed.

Although monsters are long-lived species, it doesn't mean that they think that 1000 or hundreds of years are "short-lived".

Far away from the earth, the ghost clan that has always lived in the underground world reappeared in Gensokyo, which means that the relationship between the underground residents and the ground monsters has begun to ease.

But Hakurei Reimu never cared about these things, she just knew that Ibuki Suika has a bold personality, likes wine and banquets, is innocent and simple, likes to compete with others, like a child's character.

When the spring snow incident was resolved not long ago, the time for the cherry blossoms to bloom became extremely short.

So she was dissatisfied with the reduction in the number of banquets, so she used her ability to gather people together, resulting in a banquet every three days... This is really quite disturbing, and finally it is taken for granted as another new mutation To crusade.

But it can't be regarded as a failure. After all, this banquet is a celebration banquet after solving this mutation.

——It is also in response to that sentence, there are really more banquets in Gensokyo than mutations.

……

……

"Go down and eat something."

Hakurei Reimu lifted her spirits, rubbed her face vigorously, and then jumped off the roof.It's just that the moment she landed on the ground, she suddenly felt a strong throbbing feeling in her heart, as if...

"Hmph, scumbag Lingmeng, this lady personally came to attend the shabby banquet held by your dilapidated shrine."

The high-pitched young girl's voice carried a certain Ling Ran's haughty tone.

"..."

The red and white witch turned her head subconsciously, and found that behind her was an expensive mahogany chair and a big open parasol. The bright red vampire Loli folded her arms, standing proudly on the chair, looking straight at Bo Li Lingmeng.

The hair is light blue short hair, with a light pink bud hat on the head, and a big red bow tie on the left side of the hat.

The eyes are blood red, and there is a canine tooth at the corner of the mouth.Wearing a gothic loli outfit with a jewel tied on top and a big bow tied at the back.

The huge bat wings behind her are showing her illustrious lineage, but unfortunately she looks like a child, about the same height as her younger sister Flandre, only as tall as a ten-year-old child, which is about 140 centimeters.

So he obviously put on this haughty stance and showed this provocative look, but... anyway, if it weren't for the fact that he was only about the size of a ten-year-old girl in height and appearance, he might really be full of majesty.

"Oh, it's Remi..."

Hakurei Reimu said indifferently, then waved her hands casually, as if she was chasing away flies.Then she turned her head away and continued to look for what she wanted to eat on the table.

As if nothing happened.

It was probably because Remilia appeared at the right time, which ended up interrupting her thoughts. Even Reimu Hakurei didn't realize what the palpitations in her heart just now represented.

The little vampire girl suddenly became angry——

"Silly Reimu, don't look down on people, what kind of attitude is this!"

"There is no way to look down on people. You are so short. I can't look up to you. You must be honest."

Hakurei Reimu said disapprovingly, not realizing that Remilia behind her was directly sunk by his own words.

Ignoring the vampire loli who instantly petrified behind her, the red and white priestess saw a guest coming again in front of the torii gate at the entrance of the shrine from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but look over.

"Will that princess who is squatting at home also leave her room? Hey, wait... who is that person?"
