Little Gods of Gensokyo

"Yeah." Mingmeng frowned and replied, although she had improved, the little witch still hated noise.

"Ming Meng, don't you know how to write?" Ai Ge leaned forward without any scruples: "I know it! Let me teach you!"

Last time, the idea of ​​teaching Jinjaluo was completely wiped out. The swordsman just didn't write for a long time and he forgot. After reading Aige's literacy book, he remembered the general idea.

For this reason, Ai Ge did not give Swordsman a good look for a whole week. After all, anyone who is fully prepared and intends to pass the addiction of being a teacher will not be happy if the student suddenly graduates by self-study.

"No need." Ming Meng frowned and pushed Ai Ge's head away.

"Well, don't be shy."

"I'm not shy! Get out of the way!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Well……"

"Ah, you guys really have a good relationship." When the two little girls wrestled together, the lazy female voice suddenly teased.

"Ah! Purple?!" Seeing the person coming, Aige let go of Mingmeng like a frightened bird.

"Huh?" Lord Sage frowned, looking at the flustered girl, he felt a little strange: "What's wrong, Aige?"

The little girl was sweating profusely, and her little head was thinking of various excuses rapidly.

Chapter 608. Sadness

"Huh?" Yakumo Zi squinted her beautiful eyes and leaned in front of Aige.

Miss Sage bent down to examine the guilty girl: "Are you doing something bad?"

"Not really!" Ai Ge quickly denied, thinking how to fool her.

"Then what the hell are you doing?"

"Hmm..." Ai Ge pondered for a moment: "Anyway, I'm not stealing anything!"

Lord Sage nodded upon hearing the words: "Oh, I do believe that."

Ming Meng at the side raised her head, stared at the two with a dark face, always felt as if she had been shot for no reason.

"Then what are you doing?" Yakumo Zi asked reluctantly: "I always feel that it's not a good thing..."

"Eh..." Aige was like a little mouse being forced into a corner. Suddenly, the girl had an idea and looked at the sage in front of her: "Zi! Happy birthday!"

The little witch who was deaf just now raised her head excitedly.

"Ah, thank you..." Yakumo Zi replied reflexively, but then she frowned: "Today is not my birthday."

This made Mingmeng, who was full of anticipation just now, immediately collapsed, and glared at Aige with a resentful expression.

"Eh? Is that so?" Ai Ge scratched her head with a dazed expression, "Then when is your birthday, Zi Zi?"

"Hmm..." Yakumo Zi just opened his mouth, and then said angrily, "Why are you asking this?"

The expectant little girls were immediately disappointed: "What's the matter, I can prepare birthday presents for you in advance."

"No, it's good if you have the heart." Yakumo Zi said nothing about her birthday.

What, it's not age, Aige pouted and thought disrespectfully.

"It's really boring." Ming Meng said with a cold face, closed her literacy booklet and stood up.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Ai Ge asked looking at the little witch who was going out.

"Take a nap." Ming Meng glanced at Ai Ge and said coldly.

Taking a nap, Aige thought to herself, she came here to catch up on sleep, so I can't forget my original purpose.

Thinking of this, Aige also supported the table and tried to stand up: "Then I too..."

"Hey~" Lord Sage nodded his mouth with his index finger: "It's rare that I brought some snacks here..."

"Dim sum?" Ai Ge withdrew her hand and gave up standing up.

"Dim sum!" Ming Meng walked backwards and knelt down at the table.

Yakumo Zi looked at the two little guys beside her, and took out the prepared snacks from the gap under the urging of the other party: "Don't grab it."

Ai Ge couldn't wait to reach out her hand. She thought that meeting Zi this time would be a catastrophe, but now it seems that it is not bad.

Because he was not willing to hit the love song board, the punitive measure became a punishment.

The rule at the beginning was that the first time you failed a magic trick, you would be fined one day without snacks, the second time you would be fined two days, and so on.

If we really want to calculate according to this, the earliest snack time of Ai Ge will be scheduled for two years later.

But even if the punishment was lessened later, Ai Ge hadn't had a snack for a long time, the last time Lily stuffed it into her mouth secretly while her mother was not paying attention.

So there is really nothing to complain about being able to eat dim sum now, Ai Ge thought so and stretched out her hand to grab the second string of dumpling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mingmeng sitting on the side seemed to be reincarnated from starvation, her mouth was full, and each of her hands was holding a bunch of sticks, not to mention the empty sticks in front of her.

Miss Love Song is in crisis!Ai Ge's danger radar had an idea, and he left this place of right and wrong with both hands full.

I can't run if I can't eat you, um... a strategic retreat?There are no fools in the Margot Royds.

……

……

In the kitchen, the dumplings were served on a plate, and Ai Ge was enjoying the snacks in a comfortable mood facing the small lake of the Hakurei Shrine.

While eating, she suddenly saw a black shadow appearing on the ground, the girl put the plate in her arms without thinking, turned her head and threatened: "Scare!"

It's embarrassing, it's not the little witch who came, but Zi Yakumo.

"I thought it was Mingmeng." Aige scratched her little head embarrassingly.

The surprised Miss Sage chuckled when she saw this, and sat down next to the girl: "The child has gone to take a nap."

"Has she finished eating?!" Ai Ge asked in disbelief with her mouth open.

"It seems that there are fewer competitors, and she plans to stay and eat slowly." Yakumozi explained.

Ai Ge nodded, it seemed that it could be stolen and eaten, anyway, I was much more familiar with the places where things could be hidden in the Hakurei Shrine than Ming Meng.

So the girl put the plate between the two of them: "Eat, you're welcome."

Yakumo Zi raised her eyebrows, how can she refuse if the love song is rewarded?Although it was originally brought by her.

The only thing that can be seen at Hakurei Shrine is the lake water, which is so clear that it is almost invisible, because all the witches who can live in the water have been scooped up by the previous witches, and when it is Reimu's turn, there is nothing left.

For this reason, Lingmeng has complained more than once that the seniors are too hard to survive.

Yakumo Zi squinted her eyes to enjoy the oncoming cool wind, and the sage was in a daze for a while, as if she had experienced this situation before.

When is it?Miss Sage's chaotic head couldn't remember it anymore, but she only remembered that there seemed to be a girl like this sitting beside her at that time, ah, no, maybe it was a girl?Well... probably both.

Yakumo Zi's breathing gradually became flustered, and an indelible sadness suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Zi? Hello! Purple? Purple!" Standing in front of him, Ai Ge knocked on the forehead of Mr. Sage and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you in a daze?"

Lord Sage was stunned for a second, with a habitual smile on his face: "Yes."

For some reason, when Ai Ge saw this smile, her heart seemed to be pinched by someone.

With the girl's hand on her chest, she always felt... Ai Ge's expression was so sad, so sad...

Looking at the sage with a peaceful smile, Aige felt a sour and astringent plum stuck in her heart, and her heart ached.

Hate!irritating!Aige gritted her teeth tightly, wanting to kill her because she hated it, the same reason as wanting to kill Qi Lunuo, just didn't like it.

So an urge to ask came to her heart, and the girl instinctively understood that as long as she asked that sentence, she would feel much more comfortable, even though she might have already known the answer.

Rationality grabbed the girl's feet and begged her to consider the consequences of doing so. Maybe all the plans and efforts so far would be in vain because of the girl's words.

But just like what Alice said, Aige has never been a person who is more rational than emotional. She has always liked to sleep in. She would even get up early in the morning and go to the lake of fog to squat all day with nothing to do. The reason is that she suddenly wanted to kick the ice spirit. Ass, of course, almost every time I go to the Lake of Fog, I will inevitably drop by the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

So thinking about the consequences does not exist in Ai Ge at all, so the girl kicked away her remaining reason with a merciless kick.

"Hey, Zi..." The girl realized that her throat was extremely dry, and her words were a little hoarse, but she didn't care about that much at this time.

"Are you going to die?" Ai Ge asked

The world seemed to be suddenly quiet for a moment, and the suddenly strong lake wind blew away the hair on Miss Sage's forehead, revealing her eyes full of astonishment.

"Eh?"

Chapter 609 602. The Dying Sage

Although the master has always taught Ai Ge not to do things that will be regretted, it is clear that the girl's practice is not enough.

As soon as I asked about my love song, I regretted it, worried that Yakumo Zi would find out something suspicious, Lan might be punished again because of her own sake, and what was even more frightening was that her plan might come to naught.

But if she wants to choose her love song again, she will still ask, after all, it will be very uncomfortable if you have something stuck in your heart and don't say it.

Now that she regretted it, Ai Ge used her extremely clever little head to think about the follow-up remedies.

On the other side, Yakumo Zi just lost her mind for a moment and then regained her clarity. She frowned slightly and looked at Ai Ge: "How could it be? Who did you listen to say this?"

"My master." Ai Ge said.

"Huh?" Yakumo Zi was confused, and didn't understand why Yayi Yonglin told Aige.

But then the girl stretched out her finger and pointed at Miss Sage's eyes: "My master said that the eyes of dying people are different from those of ordinary people."

There was a flash of surprise in Yakumo Zi's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Then it seems that your realm has not yet reached, how could I die?"

"You can tell if you're lying." Ai Ge said, "From your eyes."

So Lord Sage stopped talking, and sat quietly under the eaves, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"Don't you want to say something?" Ai Ge asked.

Yakumo Zi shook her head: "It's useless to lie, right?"

"Hmph! You just need to understand!" Aige poked her waist proudly, but then she thought that this also meant that Yakumo Zi had admitted, so she asked a little lonely: "So...you are really going to die ?"

"Yeah." Yakumo Zi nodded and admitted freely, which made Ai Ge momentarily at a loss as to what to say.

"I don't want you to die..." Ai Ge said with a small mouth.

Seeing this, Yakumo Zi smiled slightly, and patted the floor beside her to signal the girl to sit down.

"Do you hate death?" Yakumo Zi asked.

"Of course!" Ai Ge replied as a matter of course: "If you die, you will have nothing. If Zi, you die, I will not be able to talk to you like I am now."

"That's right." Yakumo Zi nodded: "But everyone will die one day, do you spend every day in fear like this?"

"Isn't Zi afraid?" Ai Ge asked, "I know I'm going to die, but I'm not afraid at all?"

"Hmm..." Ms. Sage tilted her head and looked at the eaves above her head. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sometimes I get scared. After all, I hope to live if I can."

"Then live!" Ai Ge immediately echoed: "Why do you have to die? Zi can definitely think of a way."

"You really have confidence in me." Yakumo Zi smiled bitterly: "There are things I can't do, after all, I'm not... no, even a god can't do it."

"So there is really no other way?" Ai Ge felt a little lonely, thinking that it could only be done by herself.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Zi Yakumo reached out and rubbed her little head: "It's not a bad thing."

Speaking of Miss Sage, she looked at the sky: "Gensokyo is facing an unprecedented test. I have already put in too much effort for it. In the end, it is not unacceptable to fight with my life."

"Zi really likes Gensokyo." Ai Ge said, although she also wanted to save Gensokyo, but she couldn't surrender her life calmly like Zi.

"Yeah." Yakumo Zi nodded and admitted frankly: "Did I tell you why I built Gensokyo?"

Aige shook her head.

"Then let me tell you." Yakumo Zi suddenly had the idea of ​​talking: "I am a gap monster of one person and one race. Although it sounds handsome, but..."

Yakumo Zi paused and continued: "I have always been alone, so I often get involved in other people's affairs. Over time, I became a so-called monster sage. Maybe the monsters in the gap are actually monsters that live in groups. Just like Tengu and Kappa, sometimes I wonder if there are other gap monsters, how would they treat me? Are they friends or enemies? Are they different from me? Are the sky they see the same color? ?but……"

"I can't find any of my kind, not even one." Miss Sage could not hide her sense of loneliness in her words: "Actually, there are many tribes among the tengu, such as the white wolf tengu and the crow tengu. Usually, each tribe is the unit They carry out activities within the clan, but as long as they face other monsters, they will be very united and consider themselves as the tengu clan, so I think, without the same kind of monsters in the gap, I can only belong to the big tribe of monsters Bar?"

"So the survival of monsters became more and more difficult later on, and Gensokyo was established naturally."

Yakumo Zi turned her head and looked at Aiga: "So Gensokyo is almost my whole effort. In order to protect the whole family, my life is not worth mentioning."
