Little Gods of Gensokyo

"Mm, Patch?"

Are you upset?When Paqiuli heard the girl change her words, was she afraid of making herself angry and being abandoned?

Who would do such a stupid thing, one more person in this situation can bring spiritual comfort to people, not to mention that at this moment, my situation is so bad that I can't do without the girl at all.

"What?" So Patchouli replied as gently as possible.

"Well, shall we go on like this forever?" It's fine when he's alone, but once he meets an adult, the child starts to rely on him subconsciously.

It will be fine, if another person stood here, he would probably use such words to comfort the other party, but I'm sorry, Paqiuli thought to herself, I can't do this level of self-deception.

"I don't know," Paqiuli replied, "But we don't have anything else to do other than that. The first thing to do is to find out where we are."

"Yes, yes, that's what you said." Ai Ge tightly held Patchouli's hand and followed her pace.

There is one more thing that Paqiuli didn't say, if Paqiuli and Aige appear here, what about Remi, Fran and Sakuya?Will it be nearby?

"Well, Patch?"

"Huh?" Paqiuli frowned slightly, exploring the way while thinking. To be honest, Paqiuli didn't want to be distracted by other things at the moment.

"No, nothing..."

Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Paqiuli, but...

So that's the case, she just wants to talk, this situation still can't make her feel at ease, she is really a difficult brat.

Paqiuli sighed: "Speaking of which, the current situation reminds me of a story I read before."

"Huh? What kind of story?"

"It's a story about two people who explored in an old castle and were trapped to death inside."

"Hey?! Ghost story?!" Ai Ge was taken aback.

"It's a ghost story. Speaking of it, there is a plot that is similar to our current situation. It is also in the darkness that can't get out..."

"Please don't say any more!" Aige suddenly hugged Patchouli's arm to stop the other party's narration.

"What's the matter? I thought you would be very interested." Paqiuli looked regretful.

"Not interested at all!" Ai Ge roared out loudly.

"That's right, what a pity." Paqiuli said this, so it should be fine.

Feeling the weight on her arms, the girl seemed not as depressed as before.

"Hey, Patch!"

"What's the matter?" Spare me, I don't have another story for you.

Luckily the girl didn't want the story: "Why not light the fire?"

"kindness?"

"Use magic," Ai Ge said as a matter of course: "It's so dark around you, wouldn't it be better to light a torch?"

"Well, that's what you said." Although she said so, Paqiuli had no intention of stopping to do so, and she still held Aige with one hand and explored the way with a wooden stick in the other.

Aige, who feels that she has been perfunctory, is a little unhappy, since you don't do it, then I will do it.

"Patch! Patch!"

The girl's voice came from behind again, and Paqiuli really couldn't bear it anymore: "What's wrong?!"

Looking back, Paqiuli looked at the love song in surprise, or at the flame on the love singer. It was a flame that was not even comparable to a candle, but it was undoubtedly a flame.

"Hurry up!" Ai Ge brought the flames to Patchouli and signaled her to light the wooden stick in her hand.

Although I was surprised how Ai Ge did it, but there are obviously other more important things to do at this time.

Because it is not a regular torch, it takes a little effort to ignite it, and it consumes very quickly.

An exit or replacement must be found before the sticks burn out.

"Huh~" Ai Ge exhaled: "It seems that I really have to work hard to practice magic."

Paqiuli didn't answer, and walked forward on her own.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

……

……

With the flames to disperse the darkness, Patchouli found the exit smoothly, a spiral upward staircase.

"Really, which guy actually made the basement so big!" Ai Ge complained indignantly.

Looking at the sunlight projected from the high window, Paqiuli extinguished the simple torch in her hand. After thinking about it, she still held it in her hand and did not throw it away. Maybe it will be useful sometime.

"Let's look around first, if other people are there, if there is food and water, of course it would be great if you can find the exit." Paqiuli calmly ordered the task, and then walked in one direction on her own go.

"Wait for me!" Ai Ge hurriedly followed.

Walked to Paqiuli's side and held her hand.

"Well..." Paqiuli frowned and thought for a while, but in the end she still didn't shake off the girl's hand.

……

……

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and Patchouli quickly found the door to go out, judging from its size, it was most likely an exit leading to the outside of the house.

but……

"Woo!" Paqiuli tried her best, but the door didn't move at all.

Leaning on her chin and pondering for a while, Paqiuli felt concerned.

Turning around, he said to Ai Ge: "Ai Ge, come and try to see if you can open the door."

"?" Although it was strange why Paqiuli asked herself to try it, Aige still did it: "Oh, I see."

Ai Ge took a deep breath, originally thinking that it would take a lot of effort, or that she couldn't open it at all.

result……

"what?"

A gap was easily opened, and sure enough, Paqiuli showed a clear look.

Aige looked back at Paqiuli questioningly, and opened the whole door after getting the latter's affirmation.

The dazzling sunlight poured in unreservedly, and it took a while for Aige and Patchouli to get used to it.

"It was obviously raining just now..." Ai Ge looked at the scorching sun in the sky.

Paqiuli came out after Aige, looking back, the place where the two stayed just now was an abandoned castle, a type that Paqiuli had never seen before.

Paqiuli squatted down, the soil under her feet was extremely dry, and she didn't look like she had just experienced a heavy rain.

Have you been in a coma for a long time?Or……

While Paqiuli was thinking, a familiar shout came from afar.

"Hey--!"

Ai Ge put her palms together between her eyebrows, and a familiar figure appeared in her vision.

"That's... Fran?" Suddenly thinking of something, Aige's expression changed: "That idiot, it's daytime now!"

Aige ran towards the other party, and when she saw this, Paqiuli also stood up, thought for a while, and walked a little faster to follow.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I should be the one to say that. What are you doing?!" Aige grabbed Fulan and examined her body carefully: "Wings! The wings are gone! Have they melted?!"

"What are you talking about?" Fran asked strangely, and tried the temperature of Aige's forehead with her hand: "I'm not sick either."

"Of course I'm not sick!" Ai Ge opened Fran's hand: "It's you, the wings are gone!"

"Huh?" Fran scratched her head and didn't understand what Aige was talking about.

Aige caught a glimpse of Patchouli coming here slowly.

"Mu Q! Take a quick look, Fran..."

"Patch, is Aige sick?"

Paqiuli took a breath, and the two villains gathered around and chattered non-stop.

Paqiuli looked at Fran carefully: "It really is."

Then he looked at Ai Ge: "From this point of view, it's not me but you who are strange, Ai Ge."

"Me?" Ai Ge pointed at herself, and looked at her front and back, everything was normal: "What's so strange?"

Sighing helplessly, Paqiuli said, "It's really slow, haven't you noticed it yet?"

"I'm no longer a magician."

ps: When I arrived at school, I was exhausted by the train, and I slept all day before recovering

Chapter 171 170. Little Devil

"I'm no longer a magician."

Paqiuli said this: "Don't you realize that there is no magic in my body?"

"What you said..." Ai Ge leaned on his chin seriously, "I thought you were too strong."

"Ah? What's that?" Paqiuli frowned, how did the child come to this conclusion.

"Look! In the comics, don't you often feel that the opponent is just an ordinary person when you face an enemy who is much stronger than yourself?"

Paqiuli looked at the girl with bright eyes in front of her and felt a dull pain in her temples. Alice must have been too loose with this child, and complained that love songs only know how to play and don't practice magic at all. Alice has to bear at least half of the responsibility.

Not to be too entangled in this issue, Paqiuli turned to look at Fran. Since the beginning, Fran wanted to speak, but she gave up because the conversation between the two of them was too strange.

"Sister, what about your sisters?" The most urgent thing is to reunite with Remi and the others, although they may also lose their strength.

"You can just call me Fran, my lord is too strange..."

To Paqiuli's surprise, Fran's personality seemed to have changed a lot, and she even showed shyness when facing Paqiuli's honorific title.

"So, Fran, can you tell me where your sisters are?"

"Of course I'm at home." Fran answered as a matter of course.

"Home refers to the red devil..." Before Aige could finish asking, Paqiuli stopped the girl.

It seemed a little too strange to ask any more, so Paqiuli thought about it a little in order not to show too much strangeness.

"Then let's go home." Patchouli took Fran's hand.

"Mq..."

Paqiuli made a 'shush' gesture to Ai Ge, signaling Ai Ge to follow.

Because she didn't know where Fran's "home" was, Patchouli chose to lag behind Fran.

From others' point of view, it was Paqiuli who was leading Fulan, but in fact it was Paqiuli who followed Fulan's pull and moved forward.

Although Aige was full of doubts in her heart, out of trust in Paqiuli, she didn't say anything, and obediently took her hand and walked forward.

"Really, I said I was just going for a walk, but I didn't expect the whole morning to pass. It's almost time for lunch and I haven't come back yet. My sister is almost dying of worry..."

Paqiuli also didn't understand what kind of situation the other party was referring to as "myself", so in order not to show off her feet, she could only hew and haw with "uh, ah" as an answer.

Both Paqiuli and Ai Ge were preoccupied, and the three of them chatted without saying a word, and walked into the village unknowingly.

Moreover, Fulan greeted the passers-by enthusiastically, which made Paqiuli feel an indescribable sense of disobedience.

"How is it? Is there anyone strange?" When Fran greeted passers-by, Patchouli asked quietly in Aige's ear.

With such a loss of magic power, there is only Aika to rely on.

"No," Ai Ge shook his head, but immediately frowned his little eyebrows: "But I always feel very strange."

"strangeness?"
