Stray Chapter 123: Angel Falls (Fog!

Misty and steamy, hot springs are often painted in this style, so naturally it's not too surprising.

As the night becomes more and more permeable and thicker, the temperature of Gensokyo at night seems to be dropping rapidly, with some coolness.

But it's still summer, and it's not too cold, so it's hard to enjoy things like hot springs. In addition, it's still in an unfamiliar place, so the girls didn't stay for too long.

Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to leave. She is not a character who can easily get along with unfamiliar people, especially now, when Yuihama Yui is not around, she and others Naturally, there is not much common language.

On the other hand, Dongfengya Sanae and Kato Megumi were able to chat together inexplicably. Although the former was talking with great interest, the latter seemed calm and answered a few words occasionally, but the chat was easy and the atmosphere was also good. It won't be cold.

"This is your dress, Miss Yukinoshita, do you need my help?"

Yakumo Lan, who is waiting outside, is still very polite and respectful, no matter how she views this task, but at least she represents the face of the Yakumo family, so she can't lose her courtesy...

"No, no, thank you..."

Wrapped in a long white and clean bath towel and covered most of her body, the long, straight black girl shook her head cautiously. She was not too used to being served by a girl who was obviously a monster.

"You're welcome." Yakumo Lan responded calmly.

The girl took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then looked at the clothes on her hands, and suddenly realized that this was her usual school uniform, as well as some other clothes she matched, she was stunned for a moment: "This clothes is ..."

Could it be that that person made a special trip back to his house and brought his clothes?

"This is a magic dress made by the adults just now. "He" said that if you don't make it like this, it will be meaningless, because Miss Yukinoshita, you usually spend most of your time at school, and you only wear this kind of dress... …”

Yakumo Lan seemed to have expected this for a long time, and calmly explained it.

"Magic dress?"

Yukinoshita didn't react for a while. Isn't this the concept of the equipment used by the magician recorded in the notebook that he recently got? It is said that there are various functions and shapes, but if they are to be classified, they can be easily divided into two systems.

One is a dress with augmentation functions such as boosting and replenishing magic power when a magician uses magic.

"Yes, the lord said so...and "he" has prepared two sets for you. "

The fox demon girl nodded affirmatively. Although the concept was very new to her, it was not too difficult to understand.

“…”

Yukinoshita glanced at the fox demon girl holding another set of clothes in her hands. For some reason, she suddenly felt relieved.

It's like the feeling I felt a few days ago, as if I was going to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster. No matter how I was up and down and uneasy before, I'm back on the ground now, and I have a sense of peace of mind.

She certainly wasn't overjoyed by the new clothes, just a sense of relief that she wasn't left behind.

This feeling has appeared since she entered Gensokyo this afternoon, and it has become more and more intense. The main reason is because of the banquet at Hakurei Shrine in the afternoon, she was thinking about how to be careful to deal with those Inhuman girl——

However, there is no need to deal with it at all. Except for the carefree and naturally familiar character, the other people don't seem to pay much attention to their group of outsiders, let alone making things difficult and finding fault. When something happened, I didn't even have the interest to come and ask.

Only the two gods of Moriya Shrine attracted more attention, and the others did not seem to attract much attention from the residents of Gensokyo.

Kiriyu Marisa explained it a bit, saying that it's not that they are arrogant or look down on people, but that the gap between humans and non-humans is too great, and they are two completely different worlds, so there is often no intersection. Not to mention that most ordinary people are often the one who actively rejects inhumans.

Therefore, they will naturally not be so enthusiastic and active towards ordinary people who have just come in from the outside world and are complete strangers... But this does not mean that they are really proud, look down on people or something, if they really want to be with them It's not really that difficult to make friends.

Of course, at the back, it's about Marisa's own bragging. It seems that he is very experienced in this, but after talking about it, the main point can be summed up as "stalking". four words.

It is because she is so shameless and skinless that she has the widest social circle in the entire Gensokyo.

Up to the big monsters, big ghosts, and gods, you can talk to each other. Down to the frozen frog, the so-called Gensokyo is the strongest, and no one has come out to oppose this self-proclaimed ice fairy, she can play with each other. It's totally fun to play.

Yukiushita doesn't have the carefree personality of Marisa Kirisita, and she doesn't need to master the methodology. All she cares about is the words that the other party said casually——

"Man and non-man are two worlds."

This is what makes her uneasy, plus Xia Ran's current unexpected change, it seems that she has suddenly become unfamiliar, arbitrary, and has no taboos, as if she doesn't care about anyone else at all... …

Even if you know that the other party is not completely in charge of yourself now, and there is also the influence of Yakumo Zi, the magician of that realm is the result of the combination of two people, and it belongs to the existence of two wills that are similar to a third party. , she still can't avoid being cranky.

But now, I suddenly feel at ease——

However, this feeling of reassurance did not last for three seconds, and she suddenly thought of a very critical question: "Wait, so, are Kato-san and the others ready?"

"Yes, of course this kind of thing can't be missed, it's all ready."

The fox demon girl said, she felt that there was no need to ask this question at all—

"Also, the lord has already asked me to prepare a guest room in the Yakumo Mansion. If you have finished bathing, you can go there with me to rest later. That girl named Yubihama I have already brought first. past..."

“…”

“…”

Seems to be very thoughtful and considerate, not really ruthless enough to make myself and others have to lay the floor in the sundries warehouse for the night.

But I don't know why, it seems that there is suddenly nothing to be happy about... Yukinoshita looked expressionless, looking at the dress in his hand, and didn't know what he was thinking.

……

……

The rest of the night was silent.

The first night in Gensokyo seemed to be peaceful, and nothing happened.

However, it's all just the calm before the storm.

The night that shrouded the earth faded, and dawn began to arrive, followed by the dawn of the rising sun, like a thousand swords, piercing the last haze and spilling the sun on the earth.

As the manager and mediator of Gensokyo on the bright side, Hakurei Reimu is not a person who wakes up early and sleeps in the dark. Her routine is very regular. She usually goes to bed early at night, but often gets up late during the day. .

What's the point of waking up so early after all? She doesn't have the luxury to develop the habit of eating breakfast, and the Hakurei Shrine is so poor, there is not much to do at all, and it doesn't even take ten minutes to clean the inside and outside of the shrine...

So, even if Hakurei Lingmeng was already awake long ago, she would continue to lie quietly on her bed like a salted fish who lost her dream, not wanting to move at all.

I can't say she's lazy either. The main thing is to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, so that I can support myself for a longer time until the next opportunity to replenish the shrine's food reserves... Well, it makes sense.

It's just that there seems to be someone who came to disturb us early today, and there was quite a loud noise from outside the shrine.

Who! Why is it so annoying?

It must be Marisa, right? ! Recently, that guy has been annoying like an alarm clock. He comes to the door on time every morning and makes a noise. The most annoying thing is that the alarm clock can't be hammered, and the next day, it will make a noise on time.

Hakurei Miko sighed, and walked out of her room with some helplessness, ready to try again if she could break the annoying and inaudible alarm clock, so that she could sleep well tomorrow...

Well, it's too light to start. After all, the doctor in Yong Ting is very skilled, let alone a person who still has a breath. Even if she just died not long ago, she can be rescued. If the injury is minor, the alarm clock... ...Marisa will be able to leave the hospital in a day.

Going out of the shrine, I found that there was indeed a group of people outside the door, discussing something.

Hakurei Reimu frowned, as if it wasn't Marisa who was making noise today? She looked around and found that they were all acquaintances, and only two were members of the group who had just entered Gensokyo yesterday.

A dead fish-eyed boy and a brown-haired girl, both of them were at a loss and were discussing something with the group of people that Hakurei Reimu was familiar with, with a weak tone.

"I don't know why there is no change..."

"I don't feel anything..."

Hakuli Miko frowned. She was an ordinary person who had just entered Gensokyo yesterday, so why did she mingle with the residents of Gensokyo so quickly today? And why are there only two of them, where have the others gone?

Looking at the people who were talking to these two outsiders, Hakurei Reimu felt even more inexplicable. She even saw a very troublesome figure among them - a man in a white shirt and a red plaid vest girl with short green hair and long dress.

It's just that at this moment, this big monster who is the most difficult to talk about doesn't even radiate any momentum. It seems that even the monster's aura has been restrained cleanly, with a regrettable and calm expression on his face. He listened to what the people around him were discussing.

There is no such thing as the previous behavior of refusing to be far away. It was obvious that when she was at a banquet before, even if she came, she was sitting alone in a corner by herself... What's the matter today? Has the Lord of Four Seasons Flowers changed?

Boli Lingmeng took another look subconsciously, and found that this group of people really can't fight. Except for living together in Gensokyo, there is basically not much interaction in normal times, but today it is an unprecedented one. Gathered here at her shrine for a long time...

So, what the **** are these people doing?

"Ah, are you Hakurei Miko? It's just right, we have some problems now, so I want to ask you..." At this time, some people also noticed the existence of Hakurei Reimu.

The little girl in blue clothes with the wings of ice behind her came over, looked at the Hakurei priestess standing in front of the shrine, looked her up and down, and said calmly.

Uh...

I have to say that even Hakurei Reimu was stunned by this strange scene at this moment.

Is this still the foolish ice goblin? No matter how you look at it, it's strange, how could she have such a calm and even wise performance? He put his hands on his hips, laughed loudly, and shouted, "The old lady is the strongest in Gensokyo"... This is Cirno, right?

"Cirno... what's wrong with you? Did you pick up something to eat in the Lake of Mist today?" The Miko-sama forced a smile, she suspected that Cirno might have become a little stupid again.

Everyone knows that a person who does not know how to give up and adapt is very scary, because as long as he is alive, he will not stop.

And this principle applies perfectly to a stupid ice goblin, because goblins are natural phenomena and will never die, plus if she's still stupid... that's terrible.

——Just as Cirno firmly believes that she is the strongest in Gensokyo, even Kazami Yuka, who has always been intolerant of others' provocation, will only pretend not to hear it.

Lord Miko feels that she can't care about such a foolish goblin. The best way to deal with Cirno is to follow her everything and leave her contented. If you do it, you will be annoying dead!

"I don't know who Cirno you're talking about, I'm not Cirno, I'm Suwako Yuya who came to Gensokyo yesterday..."

The Ice Fairy didn't care, just shook her head.

"Huh? What are you kidding?" Hakurei Lingmeng frowned and turned to look, only to see the princess from Yongyong Pavilion walking up.

This girl, who wears a dress in a Japanese style, but is matched with dress-style elements such as ruffles and bows, has flat bangs that are cut flat, a beautiful face, and long black straight hair that goes past the waist. Shuangli's bright red eyes stared straight at Reimu Hakure-

"Miss Reimu, I only asked you to stay overnight, do you remember this?"
