The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Where have you gone?"

The campus, which was in some chaos due to the sudden solar eclipse, has finally returned to some peace, but Kirino, who is walking among them, is feeling anxious.

She walked quickly through the crowd, absent-mindedly, and accidentally bumped into the person opposite.

"Ah, I'm so sorry...!"

Getting up from the ground, Kirino immediately apologized to the other girl. The other girl had a gentle appearance and seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter.

"It's okay, it's okay. You can't walk so fast in the corridor, you may fall."

Waving her hand nonchalantly, she reminded herself kindly.

"Thanks."

Nodding politely, the moment they passed each other, Kirino suddenly called out to the other person.

"Um, excuse me!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a lost little girl?"

"little girl?"

"Yes."

Kirino thought for a moment, then tried to describe it:

"A girl with blue hair and wings on her back."

"Ah, I've seen it before."

"Really?"

Kirino looked at the other party in surprise. Unexpectedly, the other party actually replied something that she didn't know how to answer.

"You are looking for Kirino-chan, Kousaka-san's sister, right?"

"Well"

Kirino, as the "True Kirino", was silent for a while when he heard this, with a strange look on his face. Although he had heard from his unreliable brother before that he had given Elio her identity, but If you experience all this personally, it is still a bit subtle.

"No, that's right, I'm just looking for you, Kirino-chan."

"That's true."

The other party showed a look of understanding, and then asked slightly curiously:

"Then you are hers?"

Sensing the different meaning in the other person's eyes, Kirino quickly blushed and shook her head:

"No, no, I'm his. I'm his."

In embarrassment, an idea flashed in Kirino's mind——

"Yes, that, I am his cousin, Elliot!"

"Hey, that's it, cousin."

For some reason, Kirino always felt that the other party seemed disappointed with this answer.

"Forget it, so you are the one Kousaka-san is going to visit the school festival with today. I thought it was who you are, but it turns out to be your cousin."

"Yes."

Kirino, who was not good at lying, had no choice but to lower her head to cover up her shyness, and at the same time tried to change the topic away from herself as quickly as possible:

"Well, cousin Takeya asked me to take care of Kirino, but we suddenly separated just now, so I must ask you."

"Ah, I am Kousaka-san's classmate, Natsumi Daniotani."

"Senpa Tanioya, if you know where Kirino is, please tell me."

"This is it"

Dan Shenggu pondered with a subtle expression on her face, and after a while she suddenly stretched out her finger to point at the total solar eclipse in the sky that had completely changed its progress.

"there."

"there?"

Kirino looked up at the eclipse in confusion, but looked at Dansheng Valley as if asking for answers, and saw her nodding.

"Yes, that's right over there."

As he said that, Dan Shenggu showed a slightly weird smile.

"Just now, I saw Kirino-chan flying towards the direction of the solar eclipse, using the wings on her back."

The two of them fell into silence for a while. After a few seconds, Kirino asked:

".Senior, are you kidding me?"

"Ah hahaha, I also think this is more of a joke. Maybe I saw it wrong."

Dan Shenggu raised his head and looked at the strange solar eclipse, then shook his head mockingly.

"It seems that under the influence of that middle-aged brat recently, there is something wrong with not only my head, but also my eyes?"

"Sister Dan Shenggu?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Let's go. I'll help you find Kirino-chan on the campus radio."

"Thank you, senior!"

At this moment, in Gensokyo.

"Well!"

With a muffled groan, Yachi Eirin, who was caught off guard by a vampire emerging from behind and was successfully attacked, covered the wound on her shoulder that was gradually healing and stared at Remilia behind her with an unkind look on her face.

"I didn't expect there was one hidden."

"snort."

Remilia gave the other party a arrogant look with disdain, feeling that the demon power in her body was rapidly returning to full strength, and she was in an extremely good mood.

Passing by Yashi Eirin unscrupulously, holding Gangnir back in her hands, Remilia came to Takeya's side with elegant steps.

"Takeya, I thought you were going somewhere, but it turns out you came here to play in Gensokyo."

It seemed like a joke between friends. The tone in Remilia's words to Takeya surprised Reimu, who was confused.

"Huh? Are you still injured?"

Remilia noticed scarlet oozing out from the gaps between Takeya's fingers covering his right shoulder.

"Well, as far as the results are concerned, that's right."

Frowning in pain and showing a self-consciously handsome smile, Wu Ye asked:

"By the way, how did you get here? Did Zi go to help?"

"Humph, that BBA will help me? What a joke."

Remilia raised her chin with indescribable pride.

"This lady can come back on her own strength."

"Your own power? How did you do it?"

"What? You didn't ask just now. I thought you weren't curious at all."

"How could it be? The time just now was not the right time to ask such a question, right?"

Takeya replied with a twitching corner of his mouth. He was almost sent back to the world over there by Yashi Eirin just now. Seeing Remilia was like seeing a savior. He didn't have so much time to talk nonsense.

"never mind."

Remilia didn't hesitate too much. After all, it was the first time she saw Takeya in such a mess. Or rather, it was the first time she saw Takeya injured.

“I came back through that.”

Pointing to the full moon in the sky, Remilia said:

"When I was in the outside world, I saw the shadows of you fighting on the projection of the moon. I don't know why, but as long as I looked at those, my demonic power would slowly recover. What happened after that was very simple. I flew to I missed the moon, and when I came back to my senses, I was already back here."

"The moon outside?"

Among Remilia's long explanation, only this one word caught Takeya's attention. After thinking hard for a moment, he suddenly froze:

"Wait a minute, you mean the moon in the outside world? Isn't that the solar eclipse we saw today?!"

"That's the preparation."

"So that means it wasn't a sudden spectacle? It was a fake moon created by Miss Bayi that appeared in the outside world?!"

Gensokyo is separated from the outside world by two large barriers. Until now, Takeya thought that the intersection between the two was just him, but what's going on now? The moon in Gensokyo appears in the outside world?

No, no, it’s a false moon. Wait, even a false moon is too weird! Why does the moon here appear to the outside world? So what is the moon we see now?

"Don't be surprised, Takeya."

Remilia smiled without surprise:

"It's not that the moon in Gensokyo appears in the outside world. It would be more appropriate to say it is a 'projection'."

"projection?"

"In other words, the 'reflection' is more realistic. It feels like the moon reflected in the sky on the lake. It's just that the 'reflection' you see is more real than the ordinary shadow in the water, because—— "

Silent anger was burning in Remilia's blood-colored pupils.

"This realm of 'reflection' must have been played by some guys."

Thank you, Ziyun Longjue, you poisonous milk powder god, for your reward.
