The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Yong Lin, I just noticed that your secret technique seemed to be lost, didn't you?"

Kaguya, who hurried over, hadn't finished her sentence before all four people present turned their attention to her.

"Are they?"

"your Highness."

Seeing Kaguya, Yashi Eirin calmly greeted her. At this time, Takeru had returned to the outside world, and everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion had also retreated. The only ones left behind were the monster sage Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Miko who were responsible for the "negotiations" Reimu.

And Marisa, the idler.

"Is that guy Kaguya? She looks quite pretty, Da☆Ze."

Holding her chin and looking at Kaguya, Marisa's expert expression made Reimu's eyes twitch. Fortunately, Takeru wasn't here at the moment, otherwise he would have complained like crazy.

"Yonglin, what happened?"

Sensing something amiss in the harmonious atmosphere, Kaguya immediately asked Eirin about the situation. She never thought that they would have to lift the secret method because of their defeat. After all, although she was the master of Eternal Pavilion, in terms of combat power, Eternal Lin is the trump card here.

Sure enough, Bayi Yonglin did not disappoint her either.

"Your Highness, this is actually the case."

"I see."

After some explanation, Kaguya probably understood the current situation, so she assumed the posture of a master and followed Eirin to Yakumo Murasaki.

"Youkai Sage Yakumo Murasaki, are you the master of 'Gensokyo'?"

"I can't talk about the master, but I still have certain rights."

"So, what you said is true that this Gensokyo is protected by a barrier and cannot be reached by messengers from the Moon City?"

"Of course it's true."

Yakumo Zi smiled lightly:

"Yong Lin's words should have been confirmed just now, the power of this barrier."

"exactly."

Eirin nodded, then turned to Kaguya and said:

"Your Highness, the space here is protected by a special barrier, and our existence cannot be observed in the Moon Capital."

"In other words, are we safe?"

"Yes."

".That's it."

A relaxed expression appeared on his face. The life of hiding in XZ for a long time was actually not easy. Kaguya, who was finally able to relax, breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.

"Looks like it's going to be boring for a while?"

Night Breeze rolled up the long hair around her ears. Kaguya's joke made Eirin feel a little sad. She opened her mouth, and her countless thoughts finally turned into a sigh:

"His Royal Highness said so."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Eirin noticed the many tears in Kaguya's clothes.

"Your Highness, what are you...?"

"Uh, um, it seems like I went a little too far just now, haha."

Smiling naturally and not caring about the rudeness in her clothing, Kaguya's gracefulness is really eye-catching.

"Really, Her Royal Highness is always like this."

Looking helplessly at Kaguya's smile, there was indescribable endearment in Eirin's tone.

The moon in the sky has returned to its original appearance, and now that the mutation has ended, there is no need for everyone to stay here anymore. The first to leave was Marisa, who was out for a walk because she was bored because of the long night.

"Then I'll go back first. I don't know where Alice is. I want to find Da☆Ze."

After getting on the broom and preparing to run away, Marisa asked Reimu in a rude manner:

"Reimu, would you like to come with me?"

"Absolutely not."

Reimu originally thought that Alice's disappearance had something to do with Yachi Eirin and the others, but when asked, it was not the case, and the answer was already obvious.

There are only two groups of them here. If it wasn't the convict, it must be one of our own.

As for the guy on his side who has the ability to do this, and who is likely to do it, there is no one other than the unreliable gap monster.

Reimu no longer wanted to be associated with troublesome things, and Yakumo Purple herself was the biggest trouble.

"I'm going back to the shrine to sleep! I'm exhausted tonight!"

"whispering sound."

After receiving a dark-faced response from Reimu, Marisa curled her lips and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Okay, we should go too."

Although Kaguya and Eirin didn't mean to chase them away, Reimu still didn't want to stay for even a moment longer. After all, he had just been taught a lesson at the hands of others. In terms of mood, it would definitely not get better.

"That's right, it's already late at night."

Looking at the familiar full moon, Yakumo Purple suppressed a strange feeling of sadness and suddenly looked at Reimu teasingly.

"By the way, Reimu-chan, since you're so far away from the shrine, why don't you just go home with your sister?"

"Who is Reimu! Disappear immediately, you dangerous monster!"

Staring at Yakumo Purple in annoyance, Reimu put on a very alert attitude, which made Yakumo Purple deliberately make a grievance gesture that made her want to cry.

"I really don't get close to my sister anymore when I grow up."

"I never got close to you when I was a child. After all, you are dangerous!!"

"Um?!"

Changes occurred, almost without any warning. Reimu suddenly sent out a dangerous signal to everyone. Relying on her already foreseeable combat intuition, the moment she sensed something was wrong, her body had already spontaneously moved away. .

At the same time, the remaining three people also moved immediately in the next moment. Yakumo Zi instinctively believed in Reimu, and got into the gap without thinking too much, while Yayi Eirin saw Yakumo Zi's movement, Immediately grabbed Kaguya and jumped back.

Immediately before the three of them had time to ask what the so-called danger was, they saw that the place where they were standing was hit by a falling streamer, and with an explosion, it instantly turned into a deep pit full of scorched black .

"What on earth is this...?"

Maintaining 12 points of vigilance, Yakumo Zi revealed half of her body from the gap, staring at the center of the explosion.

On the other side, Yayi Yonglin, who had regained consciousness, also frowned and stepped forward to investigate. The four of them surrounded the large pit that was still warm and observed carefully. Suddenly, in the center, a little fluorescent light caught the attention of the four of them. .

Bayi Yonglin stepped forward to pick it up, and fell into a daze for an instant. It turned out to be an arrow with only half of it left, and it was undoubtedly the arrow she made and owned.

"impossible"

Not only Eirin was shocked, but the other three were also extremely surprised, but soon, Yakumo Murasaki and Reimu stood together decisively, and the eyes looking at Eirin became unkind.

"etc."

It is unnecessary to fall into meaningless suspicion here, Eirin thought about it, and immediately said to Yakumo Zi:

"The attack just now, Her Royal Highness is also within range."

Staring Yakumo Zi's eyes with unprecedented seriousness, Eirin solemnly said:

"It's not me, although this arrow is mine, but I didn't make it."

".I trust you."

Yakumo Zi, who had her own considerations, quickly made a decision, but just as she was about to ask the detailed situation——

"Zi, look at the sky!"

Reimu's shout made her raise her head, and she saw a meteor-like fire flying like a giant dragon on the side of the full moon in the night sky. Judging from the trajectory it drew, it seemed that it was about to fall!

"What is that, is it an arrow again? No, judging by the size, could it be a meteorite?"

"No, it's not"

The tone lacked the usual calmness. Except for Kaguya and Reimu who didn't know what was going on, Yashi Eirin and even Yakumo Murasaki stared blankly at the slowly falling fireball in the night sky.

"It's impossible, that is!"

Yayi Yonglin looked at Yakumo Zi as if asking for proof, and the latter just nodded slowly.

"That's not a meteorite, that's a comet."

Calmly, it was scary, and the dark clouds in Yakumo Zi's eyes were like a terrifying infinite abyss.

"Comet Tiamat. It should have been a passerby that swept away from the outside world again after thousands of years, but why? Why did such a thing end up in Gensokyo!"

The words were unconsciously filled with gnashing of teeth, and Yakumo Zi's untargeted anger made the scene fall into dead silence.
