As Abigail, I'm messing around in infinite space

"You are really straightforward, don't you even ask why?"

"no need."

"Well, sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking."

"Stop talking nonsense, and tell me everything you know."

"Okay, actually..."

Immediately afterwards, Abigail told Homura what she had investigated and some conjectures. Anyway, Homura already knew that she was doing these things, and there was no need to hide them from her.

"So, what do you think after knowing this?"

"Thoughts? If you want me to say, you can try to find out if there is anything special about the city we live in now."

Chapter 253 Ceremony

"Do you know something?"

Regarding Homura's sudden suggestion, Abigail asked with some doubts.

"I don't know, I didn't investigate everywhere like you, but since you said that there is only Mitakihara's dream space, it means that there is something special about Mitakihara. Isn't this something you can guess after a little thought?"

"Oh, you're right."

"What are you guys talking about?"

At this moment, Madoka came closer and asked the two of them curiously.

"It's nothing, we are just discussing where we should go to play tomorrow."

Abigail turned her head and said to Madoka.

"Aren't we going to visit the scenic spots in the city tomorrow?"

In fact, the itinerary for these three days had already been planned, and Abigail was contradicting herself when she said this, which made Madoka a little confused.

"Yes."

Facing the loopholes in her own language, Abigail did not panic at all:

"What we are discussing is which places in these scenic spots should be visited and how to go is the best way."

"Oh, so that's the case! Did that result in anything?"

"As a result, sure enough, it's meaningless to just talk about it on paper now. It's better to play it by ear."

"Really? In fact, there is no need to calculate so clearly. When you go to play tomorrow, you can walk as you want. The most important thing is to have fun."

"Ah."

............

The night passed.

On the second day, according to the original plan, everyone got ready early.

"Everyone, there is nothing to forget, so if that's the case, let's go."

At the door of the hotel, Ba Mamei, as the oldest person here, naturally assumed the responsibility of leading the entire team.

Seeing that everyone was ready, everyone started today's tour according to the route they had already planned.

"Look there, it's amazing, there are so many people!"

Everyone came to a shrine, where the crowds were far beyond their estimates.

"There are indeed a lot of people. Is there any activity here today?"

"It's good to ask someone to ask if it's not right. I'll ask someone later."

After finishing speaking, Abigail walked not far away to a girl who looked about their age.

"Hello there!"

Hearing Abigail's voice, the girl turned her head immediately, and the expressions of the two suddenly became a little surprised.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you also here to participate in this year's festival?"

Naganuma Yuri looked at Abigail, and then noticed Madoka and his party in the distance.

"Festival? It turns out that there are activities here, no wonder there are so many people here."

"Yeah, this is an annual large-scale ceremony in the shrine here to worship the gods. It can be regarded as a tradition here."

Naganuma Yuri simply explained to Abigail.

"I understand. No wonder you left in a hurry last night, so it was because of the ceremony here today? By the way, you can't be a priestess of this shrine or something."

"It's not the priestess. My older sister is the priestess of the shrine. She is a very gentle person."

When Yuri Naganuma talked about her sister, she couldn't help showing a warm smile on her face.

"To put it simply, this is your home. We are actually here to visit today. I didn't expect so many people. How about you come to be our guide?"

However, for Abigail's request, Naganuma Yuri directly refused, of course not because she didn't want to do it, but just because she still had her own business.

"I'm really sorry, although I really want to introduce the shrine to you, but I have to help my sister, so I'm sorry."

"So that's it. Well, it seems that you still have things to do, and I can't force you. But you can simply introduce to me what is interesting about this festival."

Hearing what Abigail said, Naganuma Yuri looked a little serious.

"The ceremony is not for fun, it is a solemn ceremony."

But after saying this, Naganuma Yuri seemed to think of something, and his face relaxed:

"Actually, if I tell you that, you probably won't care about it, but if you really want to play, you can try to pray to the gods here. It's very good, and tonight, my sister will host Kagura, and you can come and see it then. Of course, the roadside stalls needless to say..."

"Yuri!"

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from the side.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a girl wearing a maiden costume walking towards this side. The girl seemed to be 18 years old, and this should be Naganuma Yuri's older sister.

"elder sister!"

Naganuma Yuri happily ran over.

"What are you doing here?"

Naganuma Yuri's sister asked her gently.

"It's like this. I just met a friend I know, and the conversation is almost over now. Let's hurry up and get ready."

"Is it okay? You can spend more time with your friends. There is no need to worry about the equipment."

"It's okay, sister, you are going to take everything on yourself again, really, why don't you cherish yourself so much."

"It seems that you discovered it, but someone has to do it, doesn't it? My sister doesn't want to see Yuri tired."

"Then you can't make yourself so tired. Okay, let's go, sister, concentrate on preparing for tonight's Kagura, and leave the other things to me."

Saying that, Naganuma Yuri pushed her sister and left.

Before leaving, she did not forget to turn her head and shout to Abigail:

"Don't forget to watch Kagura tonight."

Watching the two leave, Abigail turned and returned to the team.

"Abby, do you know that man just now?"

Madoka, who watched Abigail and Naganuma Yuri's communication the whole time, asked her with some doubts.

"Didn't Kyoko and I walk around the city yesterday? She was the one we met last night, her name is Naganuma Yuri, but what I didn't expect was that the shrine here belongs to their family. There are so many people today because of the festival."

"Is that so?"

"However, speaking of that, our luck is quite good, and it happened to happen on this day. So is there any program worth watching in this festival?"

Sayaka, who was on the side, said excitedly after hearing Abigail's narration.

"It is said that the gods here seem to be very spiritual about prayers. Although I think it may be the reason Naganuma Yuri boasted, but we can try it. Also, they will hold Kagura here tonight. You can come and have a look.”

"Kagura, it looks pretty good, but since you can only see it at night, and there are so many people here, why don't we go to other places to have fun first, and come here at night."

At this time, Ba Mamei looked at the situation present and said to everyone.

"Well, Miss Mami is right, so let's come back later in the evening."

Immediately, everyone turned around and walked towards the next scenic spot.

When leaving, Kyoko found Abigail thoughtfully.

"Abigail, I was at the shrine just now, and it seems that something is not right."

"Something's wrong? What's wrong?"

"I'm really not sure what to say about what's wrong, but there's always a very familiar feeling as if I've encountered the same situation somewhere."

"The same situation? What is it about?"

"Hmm... can't remember, I can only say that I think this shrine is a bit abnormal."

After listening to what Kyoko said, Abigail didn't think that Kyoko would talk nonsense, so there might really be something wrong with this shrine.But even if something is really wrong, it doesn't have much to do with them.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't think too much about it. At worst, tell Naganuma Yuri when you come here at night. Anyway, this is his jurisdiction. Even if something really happens, it shouldn't be up to us. to take charge."

After listening to Abigail, Kyoko nodded, it was true.

"Okay, don't think too much about it, let's have fun during the day, but at night we have to go and see what the monster is. It can't really be a magical beast, right?"

"Probably not?"

"Maybe."

Time passed quickly, the day just passed, and as the sun set from the west, night fell.

After eating the dinner prepared by the hotel, the group came to the shrine of Naganuma Yuri's house.

If it can be called a dense crowd in the morning, it is simply a sea of ​​people at night.

Walking among the crowd, Abigail and the others relied entirely on holding hands so as not to be dispersed.

But there are so many of them, and under such circumstances, it is difficult to move forward.

"Everyone, we can't do this, why don't we divide into groups, two or three people together, this way it will be easier to move, and we will gather at the gate of the shrine at about 9 o'clock in a while, what do you think? How about this."

"I agree. It is really difficult for our team to move forward under such circumstances. It is not unacceptable to act separately."

"So how should we group now?"

Madoka, you looked at the 7 people present. If you want to group them in pairs, Kyoko and Sayaka should be in a group. Mami-san must be in charge of taking care of Nagisa Mokie, and you should be with Homura and Abby. Bar.

"Grouping is not easy. Sayaka and Kyoko must be in a group, just for the two of them to enjoy the world of two..."

"Abigail, what are you talking about? What does it mean to enjoy the world of two? It's as if the two of us have some impure relationship."

Regarding Sayaka's rebuttal, Abigail pretended not to hear it, and continued:

"Mami-senpai, you need to take care of Nagisa, right? In this case, the two of you can only be in a team, and there will be only me, Madoka, and Homura, but one of them can always take care of it, so let's say we A group of three, you see, this is not a good group."

Abigail's grouping method can be said to be the most reasonable, at least everyone present did not object.

So the grouping method was determined. Three groups of 7 people were randomly separated and walked through the crowd.

But sometimes the more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen.

"Abby! Abby!"

Madoka shouted loudly, originally the three of them were walking in the crowd, but for some reason, when they reached a loose place, Madoka and Homura suddenly found that Abigail, who was beside them before, Gone.

"Homura, Abby seems to have lost us, what should we do now?"

Madoka turned her head and saw that the place where they walked before was still crowded with people, and it was obviously impossible to go back.

"Xiaoyuan, you don't have to worry about that. That guy Abigail is not a three-year-old kid. Even if he got separated, it's not like he can't find his way. Maybe this guy is still playing happily by himself now." I'm waiting."

"Is that so? But..."

"Don't worry, Abigail, that heartless guy may have forgotten us, and she will definitely appear at the exit of the shrine when we meet at 9 o'clock."

Although what Homura said made sense, Madoka was still a little uneasy.

"I'd better find Abby."
