Chapter 403 Conversation Under the Night Sky

Xia Ran watched her walk to the edge of the double-storey building, opened the door and walked in.

The magician was the only one left at the scene. He looked away and chuckled, looked up at the starry sky that Yukinoshita was staring at earlier, and then said to himself: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight..."

"Yeah, it's so beautiful. I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."

"..."

"..."

"What's the matter, student Xia Ran? Did I say something wrong?" The girl who just walked out from the path leading to the Hakurei Shrine in the forest couldn't help being a little strange when she found the magician stretching his hand to his forehead and looking up at the sky. asked.

Although Xia Ran didn't say anything, Kato Megumi felt as if he heard him let out a speechless sigh.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, Kato-san, when did you come here?" Xia Ran lowered her palm and asked in a disinterested manner.

"He just came here!" Kato Megumi replied slightly confused.

"How much did you listen to our conversation just now?"

"Huh? Us? Xia Ran, who were you talking to here just now?" Kato Hui looked puzzled, she really just came here, how could she hear anything else...

Seems to be the case?Only then did Xia Ran feel relieved. He tapped his forehead and showed a wry smile: "Student Kato, if your ability is not passive, I think you can have a place in this paradise."

"Well, what?"

"It's nothing..." Xia Ran shook her head, "Speaking of which, Kato-san, weren't you still at the Hakurei Shrine just now?"

When he came here just now, he had used his telepathic ability to specifically confirm and pay attention to the location of this passive skill Kato-san, but he still couldn't hide.

——Perhaps this girl can always appear in the most delicate place at the most delicate time.

Or is this also a state that can be explained by quantum theory?Because Xia Ran has been paying attention to the movement of this Kato classmate before, which means she has been observing all the time, so she will not take any action, but will just stay quietly in the original position and maintain the original state...

When Xia Ran felt that there should be no problem, subconsciously let go of her heart, and stopped paying attention, her state immediately became uncertain, and when she was observed next time, she often appeared in unexpected places. A place that makes people unprepared...

"Student Xia Ran, are you thinking about something impolite?" Kato Megumi looked at the magician in front of him in confusion, feeling a chill inexplicably.

"Kato-san, a person can only have one ability..."

"Huh? What's that saying?"

"Forget it, it's not important...you haven't answered the question I just asked." Xia Ran was relieved by her usual reaction, and couldn't help but sigh because of other aspects.

"I just borrowed the kitchen at the shrine, because I feel like I haven't had a good meal today..." Kato Hui thought for a while, and then replied as a matter of course, "Now the meals are ready, I am going to come over and call everyone Let's eat together."

"..."

"..."

As expected of Kato-san, she is still able to think about these issues in the mood. It seems that even if she is told that she will not be able to return to the outside world in the future, she will live well in Gensokyo.

"Actually, Lan has just started preparing for you... That's all, it's not bad." Xia Ran said after a moment of silence, then shook her head again, "But is Lingmeng so easy to talk to?"

"Miss Lingmeng is very talkative. She's actually not a stingy person, she's just a little... a little lazy." Speaking of this, Kato Megumi was a little embarrassed, feeling like she was speaking ill of others behind her back.

"That's right..." After thinking about it for a while, the magician agreed. The problem with Reimu really isn't how stingy he is, it's just that he is too lazy to do it. As long as Kato-san does it together with her share, Then borrowing kitchen ingredients or something is not a problem at all.

"Well, by the way, Xia Ran, do you want to come together?" Kato Megumi nodded, and then invited him naturally.

"I don't need it... But speaking of this, tomorrow is actually going to hold a banquet as usual..."

Xia Ran declined first, and then extended an invitation to Kato in turn. He suddenly felt that this girl, with such a peaceful mind, might choose to stay and observe, because she was interested in inhuman banquets or something.

"Well, it's better for me to go back as soon as possible, even if you said that there will be no problems, and no one will know that we have been missing for so many days, but it is still very troublesome to sleep out suddenly..."

Kato Megumi still refused, she said this with some headaches, as if she really felt bad for this matter.

"...Sorry for causing you trouble."

Xia Ran sighed. After all, this girl was dragged down by herself, and she was involved in this whirlpool.

"It's nothing, I really don't blame you at all, student Xia Ran." Kato Hui quickly waved his hand and explained very seriously, "And there is nothing wrong with such a thing, I always feel that when I was a child Some of my childish dreams have been realized, thanks to you..."

"..."

"..."

Being involved involuntarily, leading to the daily collapse, and being willing to talk to the instigator is already quite remarkable.

Now he is so happy to say that he has never been angry, but instead thanked the instigator... Xia Ran was shocked, he stared at Kato Megumi and didn't know what to say.

I'm really worried, I'm really worried... Although I already knew that Kato-san is very talkative, but if she is so talkative, she will definitely be bullied in the future, right?

Xia Ran, who has been bullying classmate Kato, unconsciously became worried about him.

"Ah, I almost forgot..." Kato Megumi suddenly remembered what he was going to do at this moment, and looked at the magician apologetically. "I'm going to ask them to eat, Xia Ran, do you want to come together?"

"...No need, you go."

Xia Ran raised her eyebrows, and a few figures happened to pass by in the sky not far away, probably the group of girls who were playing hide-and-seek.

It seems that everyone does not plan to stay, Yakumo Zi is right, even a peaceful person like Kato Megumi may not feel that every minute and every second of staying here in Gensokyo is suffering, but it is still more Care about what's going on outside.

Watching Kato Megumi trot away, Xia Ran tilted her head, and carefully recalled the entire communication process just now.

With his powerful mental power, he was able to fully extract what just happened, replay it frame by frame to figure out, and even carefully study every detail from the perspective of a bystander... and then found no problems.

The attitude is calm, the tone is calm, and the mood is always peaceful and without fluctuations. He is the Kato classmate in my impression.

She didn't even seem to care about the previous incident at all. Xia Ran didn't talk about it, and she didn't mention it either. It seemed that she really didn't care at all...

Concentrating her thoughts, Xia Ran breathed a long sigh of relief. Sure enough, she had thought too much before, but Kato-san is really an ideal friend. She is kind, peaceful, doesn't get angry, and is quite easy to bully...cough cough, easy to get along with.

Shaking her head, Xia Ran sensed carefully, wanting to see where the two of Kanako were, and was going to take this opportunity to explain what happened before.

Then, he frowned——

Why is it in Youkai Mountain?And it seems that the breath of purple is also there?

……

……

At the same time, at the top of Youkai Mountain.

Looking down at this beautiful mountain with waterfalls, rivers, cliffs and forests, Yakumo Zi turned her head and looked at the two gods in front of her with a smile——

"How? As for the location I selected for your shrine, this should be the most suitable place. There is a human village at the foot of the mountain, which is convenient for you to preach, and a powerful god lives on the mountain itself, which is just right. It is suitable for you to build a sanctuary..."

Kanako and Suwako glanced at each other, and then the former nodded slightly: "You are right, this kind of divinity is amazing... But if there are gods living on this mountain, it is not suitable for us to settle here right?"

"It doesn't matter, because that god is the god of nature, he doesn't need to believe in it, and he doesn't have any conflicts with you..."

Yakumo Zi smiled slightly, and said pointingly——

"Tiangu, kappa, and the former ghost clan have always lived in this mountain and developed their own power. She has never paid attention to it. As long as you are not here to destroy this mountain, then she will not wake up. of."

"Can I ask the name of that god?" Suwako asked suddenly.

"Of course, her name is Shi Changji." The monster sage replied casually.

"Ishi Nagahime... the elder sister of Lord Asama?" Yasaka Kanako was slightly taken aback. Most people may not have heard of this god's name, but she immediately realized it.

Suwako grasped the point more keenly: "So, this mountain of monsters is actually the Yatsugatake mountain that disappeared from the outside world?"

"It can be said that it is just the Yatsugatake Mountain after it has been destroyed." The monster sage nodded and admitted it openly.

The two outside gods looked at each other again. They were surprised by the hugeness of this mountain of monsters before. The huge waterfall formed a river and flowed to the plain area of ​​Gensokyo. The dense forest area is so vast that it can be called a vast sea of ​​trees.

And appearing in this Gensokyo is somewhat incongruous, plus this mountain is full of spirituality, there is no doubt that it is an unimaginable ancient spiritual mountain... But if it is Mount Yatsugatake, then everything is said Got it.

Yatsugatake was a legendary spiritual mountain a long time ago, the same as Mount Fuji, but higher than Mount Fuji.

It's just that the Asama-sama who lived on Mount Fuji, that is, Konohana Saki Yehime, used the reason of "I cannot be allowed to be taller than the most beautiful me", and directly chopped Yatsugatake into pieces with powerful divine power, making this The spiritual mountain has changed from a spiritual mountain higher than Mount Fuji to a dwarf mountain shorter than the latter.

Compared with the deeds of the Venus goddess in Sumerian mythology, this bad behavior is not as good as it is, but it is similar.

However, Ishi Nagahime, the elder sister of Konohana Sakiyahime, left Mount Fuji where she originally lived and moved to Mount Yatsugatake because she couldn't understand her sister's character and behavior.

And at a certain period of time that no one can tell, the real Yatsugatake disappeared from the vicinity of Mount Fuji-the outside Yatsugatake is not the former spiritual mountain, and this matter probably only ordinary people don’t know at all.

Now it seems that it was probably at that time that this spiritual mountain was moved to the Eastern Kingdom, and then it was hidden by the establishment of the Great Barrier of Gensokyo until now.

It's no wonder that this mountain is so big that it's scary. Even though there are obviously a lot of spaces that are folded and hidden by the barrier, which is probably the result of the construction of the monsters living on this mountain, it is still very scary.

Because it itself is an ancient spiritual mountain that is even worse than Fuji——

To put it simply, Mt. Fuji itself is more than 700 meters high, so even if Mt. Yatsugatake, which is higher than it, was chopped off in half by Mr. Asama, the part of the mountain above the mountainside was directly smashed, and the rest of the mountain is here. Among the mountains in Gensokyo, it is still the well-deserved number one.

I will still be the kind who looks at the top of the mountain and looks at the small mountains.

"This place is indeed very good, but as you said, isn't this the territory of Tengu and Kappa?" Kanako was not easily fooled, but asked this question seriously.

They have now confirmed the general situation of Gensokyo, and they also know that Yakumo Zi's invitation is not a trap, so they have indeed begun to seriously consider the feasibility of relocating...

However, this monster sage still seems to have his own plan after all.

"The kappa has no influence, they are just a group of technical geeks, it is not a problem at all... As for how to deal with those tengu, isn't that what you should deal with?" Yakumozi narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't think this kind of thing is also Do you want me to handle it for you?"

"..."

"..."

Sure enough, this person just wanted to check and balance the Tengu, turning the Youkai Mountain into an important balance point.The two gods confirmed their guesses, and at the same time felt a little helpless, but they didn't think it was unfair.

Yakumo Zi really has no obligation to help them deal with all the troubles, they just enjoy the success.

"Actually, you don't have to worry, don't you have a reliable ally?" The monster sage said suddenly, and kindly made a suggestion, "In this situation, he has no way to refuse your request, and he will definitely help you. "

That guy really believed in her, how could she, as a monster sage, give up her plan so easily?

If you want to achieve your goal, there is not only one way.
