Stray Chapter 122: Night

Night loomed over Gensokyo, and deep in the jungle behind Hakurei Shrine, the double-storey warehouse was dimly lit by candlelight.

After all, we can't expect to popularize electricity in Gensokyo. Even the main building of the shrine, including Hakurei Reimu's own room, has no facilities such as electric lights, so naturally only oil lamps can be used.

It is really a very backward lighting tool, but it does have a unique flavor. Between the flickering of the lights, it can make people more deeply aware of where they are at the moment.

"It seems that she won't be able to wake up tonight, really big heart..."

Yukinoshita sighed, and under the dim light, she helped Yubihama Yui who was sleeping to tuck the thin sheets. Gensokyo at night still seemed to be a little cold, and the season of this paradise seemed to be somewhat question.

The latter twisted his body and muttered something vaguely in his mouth, but it was so vague that no one else could hear it clearly, but it shouldn't be too important, so it doesn't matter. .

Xueshita glanced around. This warehouse is full of debris. Boxes are piled up randomly into hills. I don’t know how long it has been since they have been properly organized. The only advantage is that there is no dust, and the air seems to It's not cloudy, and it's no different from the freshness outside.

It is said to be a warehouse, but it feels very clean, and there are no spider webs and the like in the corners. It seems that there is nothing too big or unacceptable in this space except for the piles of debris. Accept the downsides too.

And the warehouse is full of all kinds of debris, like a hill around it, a few girls managed to clear a small place from which they can lay the floor for the night, although the surrounding seems a little crowded, but Makes them feel inexplicably safe.

People tend to like a small space, because it can give them enough sense of security. If this large warehouse is empty, there is nothing, and it looks very empty, it may be a completely different feeling.

"Hey, it's really interesting, it's like going to a dorm with friends..."

Dongfenggu Sanae was sitting on the side, watching Yukinoshita taking care of Yubihama, she couldn't help saying this with a smile, her beautiful eyes were shining, it seemed that everything in front of her made her full of interest .

She is probably the most relaxed of the people. Even though she already knows what's going on, she is still full of confidence in the two gods in her family and firmly believes that this is not a big deal. , will be resolved soon.

Probably and Kanako didn't want her to worry too much, so although she told her about the whole thing, she deliberately said it in a lighthearted way...

"Do you live together?"

Yukinoshita thought for a while, then shook her head slightly. She was not as relaxed as Dongfenggu Sanae, and it was difficult to have such an association.

Frankly speaking, Gensokyo is indeed a good place. As the core of the entire Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine is located in a particularly advantageous location. From the shrine, you can see Gensokyo.

Not to mention the beautiful scenery, the girls here don't seem to have the style of the inhuman things she imagined, such as blue-faced fangs, disgusting faces, grinding teeth sucking blood, killing people like numbness, and especially difficult to communicate what...

It seems to be a paradise isolated from the world. If you don't say that those girls are not human beings, but ordinary people, then there seems to be no sense of disobedience. In theory, Yukinoshita should feel at ease. ——

In fact, the opposite is true. She is very uneasy and vigilant, but even she herself can't tell what the reason is.

After thinking about it, she felt that this should be because she still didn't know what Xia Ran's state was like, and what exactly did he want to do... These things were not clear, and she didn't really get it. Confirm, that's why I feel so uneasy.

As for that vigilance, it's probably because she has officially entered the mysterious world for the first time and has come into contact with the realm of non-knowledge, so it's normal... Well, if you think about it this way, it seems reasonable.

"Xueshita-san, you seem to be worried about something?" Dongfeng Gu Sanae keenly sensed the indifferent girl's psychology, and asked cautiously, "Is it because I was forced to stay there? Are you here, disrupting your plans?"

"...What do you mean, Dongfenggu-san?" Yukinoshita asked calmly.

"For example, I might have to go to school tomorrow, and my family should also be worried. Suddenly I didn't go to school and didn't ask the teacher for leave, etc.?" Dongfeng Gu Sanae put her slender index finger on her lips and said this with a little thought .

“…”

“…”

Xueshita suddenly had the urge to sigh again. She just thought that the girl in front of her had really discovered something, but she didn't expect the other party to think about these things.

——How thick are her nerves? !

Although it was indeed a sudden accident, I was trapped in this inhuman paradise called Gensokyo without asking for leave or notifying my family, but this is not what I should be concerned about at this time. Bar?

It's like some people were killed on a deserted island, but they still struggled that they didn't go to work tomorrow, couldn't check in, and didn't have time to ask for leave from the company... This is no longer a problem without common sense of life.

Of course, perhaps for Dongfenggu Sanae, she may really pay more attention to these issues.

Yukinoshita felt that powerlessness again, but she didn't say anything, just shook her head slightly, and said very calmly: "I just feel... I'm not used to it, and I'm outside without preparation. Overnight."

"Not ready?"

"Yes, our school was originally holding a job training activity today. You know the weather now, and I'm already sweating..." When she said this, Yukinoshita couldn't help but frowned. Raise your brows.

Originally, I just wanted to find a reason to deal with it, but as she talked, the girl suddenly felt uncomfortable all over her body and felt uncomfortable.

"Is that so... it's really a difficult thing to do, why don't we ask that Hakurei priestess?"

Dongfenggu Sanae suddenly understood that the girl in front of her seemed to be really just an ordinary person, without any special power, and could not achieve "self-purification" like she or Kanako-sama and others.

Besides, girls, everyone knows that, just like Dongfenggu Sanae himself, if he has the conditions, he would still want to take a bath... In fact, it is not necessary, and the psychological self Feelings are often two different things.

Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but before she had time to say anything, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Tuk Tuk Tuk-

“…”

“…”

The girls glanced at each other, and then Dongfenggu Sanae stood up very naturally, ready to go to open the door, without much thought.

Lord Kanako and the others are not far from the front shrine, so there shouldn't be any problem. Taking a step back, if Kanako-sama and the others are no longer able to take care of the situation here, then they will not be able to ensure safety by hiding in this warehouse.

"Let's go take a look..."

Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi, who had always been quiet, looked at each other, then stood up and silently followed behind the blue and white priestess.

The warehouse door was opened, and a girl with nine huge furry tails stood outside the door. She was holding a stack of thick clothes in her hands. After glancing at the three girls, she said solemnly:

"Miss Dongfenggu, Miss Yukishita and Miss Kato, if you want to take a bath, please come with me, I have prepared a change of clothes for you..."

“…”

“…”

"Huh?" Dongfeng Gu Sanae was stunned for a moment, but then the one who responded first, "You...isn't Xia Ran the one who asked you to come here?"

"I'll take you to the hot spring area at the foot of the Yokai Mountain, but don't worry, there won't be any danger..."

Yayunlan didn't answer the question, but just answered nonsense, while maintaining a polite and decent smile, waiting quietly.

It's just that the answer is obvious. Yakumo Zi probably won't be so interested in a few unfamiliar human girls, but she won't object to Xia Ran's. Even if one party has no idea, it does not oppose the idea of ​​the other party. It reflects the decision and action of the magician of the realm, and there will be no contradiction.

So, it can indeed be said that Xia Ran made a decision, and Yakumo Zi did not object to this, so as the shikigami of Lord Zi, Yakumo Lan can only work hard without complaining.

"That's right, then thank you..." Dongfeng Gu Sanae didn't care that her question was not answered, but happily turned her head to look at the two girls behind her, "Let's go over now— —”

"Is this really good?"

Yukinoshita was somewhat moved, but she still looked at the nine-tailed fox girl in front of the door vigilantly. As for what she was vigilant about, it was unclear.

"No problem, Lord Kanako and the others just told me that I can go there." Miss Fengzhu said excitedly, her eyes were full of eagerness to try, "This is a hot spring, don't you want to try it? "

Yukinoshita hesitated for a while, looked at Megumi Kato's expression, and sighed: "Then wait a minute, Saber said she wanted to check the safety of the surroundings, and she would be back in a while."

Speaking, she looked at Yakumo Lan's expression outside the door.

The fox demon girl said with a relaxed face: "It doesn't matter, and about Miss Arturia's change of clothes, I have already prepared..."

The girl pursed her thin lips, she even knew Saber's real name...

……

……

The geyser in Gensokyo, its main location is at the foot of the Yokai Mountain.

Because of the connection to the scorching hell, the sharply increased heat caused a large amount of water vapor to flood the ground, creating some geothermal hot springs around,

However, the vicinity of most of the hot springs is filled with poisonous gas gushing from the ground, and there are also resentful spirits gushing from the ground, which are so dangerous to humans that they are called "Hell Valley".

Of course, the monsters don't matter-

They cleaned up the resentful spirits and poisonous gas near the largest hot spring very well, making it a popular spot for monsters... The only downside is that it's close to the Monster Mountain.

It's a risky thing to soak in a hot spring at the door of the house of Yatengu, the favorite candid dog in the entire Gensokyo.
