1654 The definition of happiness is different for everyone

Are the humans in Gensokyo happy?

Everyone should have a different view on this question, after all, everyone has a different definition of happiness.

But from an objective point of view, if we only talk about material life, the human beings in Gensokyo or the human beings in the human world are still very happy.

The first is not to worry about eating and drinking.

Gensokyo is a place where common sense and common sense are subverted. This sentence has been repeated several times, but still not everyone understands what it means in detail.

Take 'eat' as an example.

Obtaining food is mainly based on farming, but farming in Gensokyo is completely different from the outside world.

Crops are not harvested twice or thrice a year. If you plant today, you may be able to harvest once a month, or you may have a good harvest tomorrow.

The blessings of the gods, the power of monsters, the influence of the non-sense concept of the Great Barrier, and even humans who are not magicians but can use some magical power can all affect the growth of crops.

If you have the ability and luck to pay homage to the Hakurei Shrine, you won’t be starved to death even if you lie down until the blessings of the shrine expire.

This is Gensokyo, a veritable fantasy land.

In such a cold winter, with continuous blizzards, food cannot grow at all. Is this common sense that everyone knows?

Indeed, this is common sense.

But what is applicable in Gensokyo is often some common sense.

Not only that, there are also shops opened by monsters in the human world, not to mention Yakumo Zi's shikigami Yakumo blue who comes to check on the situation regularly, there are big monsters who settle in the human world.

Many things, troubles, difficulties, and disasters will be resolved silently before they affect human beings.

Moreover, there is a dragon statue in the world.

When an abnormality occurs in Gensokyo, the eyes of the dragon statue will turn red, giving early warning to humans in the human world.

In addition, the Tengu Clan and the Kappa Clan are monsters that often haunt villages and towns to protect humans.

Food and vegetables rely on planting, and meat naturally has corresponding farmers.

There are often some monsters that are kinder to humans after hunting and transporting them to the human world to sell, and then spend them in the village after being exchanged for money.

Renjianli is a village where humans live, but in fact it is a place where individuals and demons coexist.

You don't have to worry about eating, and you don't need to worry about drinking.

In Gensokyo built on the basis of the Great Barrier, even goblins can be born, and the pollution of the environment can be said to be completely non-existent.

As long as the water source is found, clear water can be used directly.

After the material life is guaranteed, for people, the most basic happiness has already been satisfied.

On this basis, what human beings pursue is spiritual happiness.

As for this point, it has a unique meaning in Gensokyo.

. . . . . .

Knowing that Yuntian is an outsider, Marisa explained to him about the situation of human beings and humans.

Compared with Youmu, Marisa, who is a human being, can explain the situation in the human world more clearly.

To Yuntian's surprise, Marisa concluded that "human beings are happy enough" compared to Youmu's statement of "I don't know if they are happy".

Moreover, the angle she said is also very objective, and it is not difficult to understand from a human perspective.

Safety is guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about food or drink. Who can say that this is an unhappy life?

In the outside world, there are too many places where even this cannot be guaranteed.

However, Marisa was silent when it came to further 'spiritual' aspects.

The two walked side by side through the monster beast path.

It may be because the heavy snow has an effect on monsters, and even those in cold weather are reluctant to go out, so Yuntian and Marisa didn't see any monsters along the way.

There were only some hairy jade that popped up occasionally, which were cleaned up by the two of them.

Walking all the way to the gate of the world, Yun Tian glanced sideways at the silent blond girl beside him.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to stay outside, Yun Tian didn't say much, and walked in.

In winter, the streets are naturally impossible to be lively.

But it is not deserted without people.

Three or two people were walking on the road wearing thick coats, and along both sides of the street, you could see children running in the snow, playing snowball fights, making snowmen, and their parents watching them.

The cold winter lasted for more than five months, but there was no trace of disaster in the world. Instead, it was peaceful like an ordinary heavy snow.

People had different looks on their faces, if they didn't know that this was Gensokyo, the scene in front of them would really make Yuntian think that he was walking in some rural village.

Yun Tian also looked curiously at several houses, and found that every family was burning with stoves.

"That's why I didn't say it anymore. There is no need to worry." Marisa muttered softly when she noticed Yuntian's movements.

She didn't intend to let Yun Tian hear it, but the distance couldn't hide it from him, Yun Tian raised his eyebrows and said:

"Although I knew that there would be no accidents in the world, I didn't expect such a peaceful scene."

"This is 'natural'. If it weren't for this almost absolute 'peace', what would the monsters use to guarantee that humans would settle here."

Marisa twitched her lips, and added without restraint.

"It's so natural that people here take it for granted... tsk."

"Can't you accept it?" Yun Tian asked.

"If it were you, would you accept it?" Marisa didn't answer, but threw the question back.

Yun Tian understood what the girl meant, and would only come up with the same answer as her.

"Indeed, it is unacceptable."

There is nothing wrong with living in the world, it is very happy.

Some people may think that freedom will be lost, but this is not the case. Human beings also have enough freedom.

It's not that you are confined in the human world, as long as you want, you can go anywhere in Gensokyo.

No one will stop you, but again, you will be responsible when you encounter danger.

As for the spiritual happiness just mentioned, it is not a big deal.

There are gods in Gensokyo, and you can choose to believe in them.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to. If you are looking for excitement, you can go to the shops where monsters often go, try to talk to non-humans and even become friends.

Or organize a group to go fishing in the Lake of Fog, the road leading there is not dangerous, and the scenery is not bad.

Teaching, craftsman, opening a flower shop, or entertaining guests in an izakaya are all fine. You can choose any life you want. In fact, you are much more free than the outside world.

Because in the human world, you don't have to worry about food, drink and housing, and you have enough time to complete your pursuits and live the life you want.

Touching the mystery and targeting the magician sounds good, doesn't it?

But all these happy lives have a major premise, that is, you have accepted the domination of monsters and gods!

1655 Meeting an Acquaintance

The safety of human beings is guaranteed by monsters, a stable life is protected by monsters, and sufficient freedom is allowed by monsters.

All happy lives are built on the premise of 'human beings are dominated'.

Is this really good?

do not know.

After all, the definition of happiness is different for everyone.

But at least for Yuntian and Marisa, such happiness is unacceptable to them.

Because that is tantamount to admitting that you are not as good as others.

You originally had the ability to ensure safety by yourself, to create a stable life by yourself, and to actively pursue freedom.

Your happiness can originally be obtained by relying on your own hands!

And now, someone has sent happiness to you, and you accept it.

What is the cost?

It is to give up the hard work and the process of pursuing, and directly start to enjoy the sweet fruit.

Is this a bad thing?

Can't tell.

But don't forget that this fruit is not planted by yourself, but given to you by others.

Here it is, it's yours.If you don't give it one day, you will lose everything!

That's why Marisa broke with her family, resolutely left this happy place in the world, and lived a hard life where she sometimes couldn't get enough to eat.

She just wants to prove herself.

Prove that Marisa Kirisame is no worse than others, prove that Marisa Kirisame can get everything she wants with her own hands, prove. . .

Youkai are by no means a species that lives above humans!

No one knows how much an underage child has suffered in this process, and no one knows how much hardship Marisa has gone through in order to get to this point.

But it turned out, she succeeded.

Leaving this safe shelter in the world, she also survived, and has grown and transformed step by step until today.

This human girl, who called herself an ordinary magician, had grown to the point where she could compete with a powerful monster at the level of a big demon.

Even with the help of spell card rules, she may not have no chance of winning!
