Rihu's Pit Brother's Journey

In the end, the second story Ji Guoyansheng told Kaguya was—Little Red Riding Hood.

Yes, it is Little Red Riding Hood.When it comes to female protagonists, there are more fairy tales in foreign countries in which the opponent is inserted in the end.In other words, I can think of this story thanks to his teacher Osamu Dazai who is extremely knowledgeable.One day when Dazai was bored, he talked about fairy tales with him, and said that the original fairy tales have been changed a lot. No matter which country they are in, it seems that fairy tales can retain blood, but can't have too many erotic parts.

For example, Little Red Riding Hood, the original version of Little Red Riding Hood actually has a strong hint, and the ending is that the evil wolf coaxes the little girl into bed and then "eats" Little Red Riding Hood.The essence of this fairy tale is to satirize the dissolute nobles in France, and at the same time serve as a warning to people, so that 'little girls with cute faces and figures should not trust others easily'.That's why a popular saying in Europe about 'lost virginity' is 'she met a wolf'.

...It's too bad, after being explained by Mr. Dazai, I can't look directly at the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

Of course Yan Sheng’s version is that Little Red Riding Hood and his father killed the wolf together, but when he was talking, he still couldn’t help but think of the different version of Little Red Riding Hood.

... No, no, he didn't think much of it!He just couldn't think of other stories about the female protagonist killing the villain for a while!No, it doesn’t mean—ahhh!It's all Dazai-sensei's fault! ! !

Ji Guoyansheng, who finished telling the story, looked away in embarrassment, feeling that the room was very hot.

...Why did he go to Kaguya's room to tell her a story!damn it!This request should have been declined in the first place!

Kaguya couldn't help asking: "Are you afraid of me? Why don't you look directly at me?"

Yan Sheng blushed, gritted his teeth, anyway, it's a copy, just a copy!He can only answer if the character in the dungeon asks!

"Actually, I remembered another meaning of the story of Little Red Riding Hood that my teacher told me."

Then Yansheng explained embarrassingly. This actually meant that beautiful girls should not trust the sweet words of men too much, and invite the other party home, otherwise they might hurt themselves.

Kaguya:  …

Kaguya also blushed.

Yan Sheng was at a loss: "No, I just thought of it suddenly. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you asking me to come. No, it's not that there is no problem. In short, ah, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have chosen this story!"

"Pfft...haha, hahahaha!"

Kaguya laughed and burst into tears.

"You are really, poof...too honest."

Yan Sheng stood up angrily, "I'm going back to rest."

Damn, it's all Dazai-sensei's fault!

"I'm actually not human."

Kaguya's sudden words made Yansheng stop.

He was surprised that Kaguya would be honest with himself when he just met, but when he thought that this was just the prologue of the dungeon, maybe it was a set process, he didn't think about it any further, but turned around and walked back to his original position , sit down again.

"Aren't you surprised, I have never seen anyone from your country, but I can speak your language? This is just the slightest difference between me and human beings, language-we actually use a simpler You feel like I’m talking to you, but you feel like I’m talking directly to your brain.”

Yansheng nodded: "Understandable, I also know other people who can do this kind of thing."

Kaguya was a little surprised, and then said: "It's the same with my two newborn children. It's hard for humans to imagine why a child would be born out of thin air without a father. But in fact, it is very normal for me, as long as the energy is sufficient , whether it comes from belief or other means, you can gain energy to breed new life.”

Yansheng thought for a while: "Is it the same as...the results of plants that absorb nutrients from the land?"

Kaguya's expression was rare and soft: "That's right, your understanding ability is very strong."

Iwakatsu thought that this was probably a race of parthenogenesis, so she was very interested in the story of the princess from the moon. She was Kaguya Hime from a certain 'moon'.

Kaguya continued: "My children... They should have other uses. But when I felt their growth and heartbeat in my body, I was very happy. I began to look forward to seeing them, and I couldn't follow the original plan. The plan is going on. I have become an ordinary stupid woman. I have no way to use them as tools. I gave birth to them, betrayed my former companions, and gave up my responsibilities. I will be revenged in the end. But only these two kids... only them, and I want to protect them."

Yan Sheng said: "It is extremely normal to want to protect one's own children, and it is an instinct that any creature will have."

Dazai-sensei is a person who is very attached to his mother.

Among the articles he wrote, there was a long article describing the protagonist's mother, and anyone could see the deformed nostalgia in it.The prototype of the protagonist, people who know Dazai think that most of them are himself.

But Teacher Dazai also said with emotion that motherhood is a kind of animal nature, and it is an instinct to protect one's own offspring—one's own "species".Those who can easily abandon their children, hurt, abuse and kill them with cold eyes are really terrible. Human beings are really terrible, even abandoning their instincts.

"It's good to have such an instinct. Don't you feel a little sad if you give up even the biological instinct?"

Kaguya Hime looked at her hands: "A creature...?"

Yan Sheng went straight to the point: "Suddenly tell me such a secret, what do you want me to do for you?"

Kaguya looked up at him: "I always feel that you are different from other people and can understand me. Sure enough, as I thought, you are not afraid of me, and you understand my words very quickly. You are better than most human beings here. He has more profound knowledge and a calm mind.”

Mentioning this, Yansheng became a little helpless: "I want to surprise me, I'm afraid you need to work harder. My younger brother is more terrifying, more incredible, and more incomprehensible than this."

Hui Ye stared wide-eyed: "Brother?"

Yan Sheng: "He is so strong that he is a monster! Damn it, why do I want to be brothers with a monster! If I have his talent, I will definitely——!!! Sorry, I... lost my mind."

Hui Ye chuckled: "It seems that your relationship is very good."

Yan Sheng retorted: "No, it's not good at all. But... I will try my best."

Kaguya chuckled again, then looked at Yansheng: "I want to ask you for a favor."

Yan Sheng nodded: "Please tell me. As long as it is within my ability."

Kaguya: "It's a somewhat embarrassing request. As I said before, children don't actually have a father, but humans may not understand it, and most of them will make redundant guesses on their own. I didn't think it was necessary to care about human thoughts, as long as I They dare not disobey their orders. However, after hearing the story of Kaguya Hime, I thought... Maybe my children will be jealous and face more trouble because of this. I never underestimate human beings. I almost lost my baby by underestimating human beings and I will not make the same mistake again."

Yan Sheng frowned: "You want to..."

Hui Ye said bluntly: "Yes, I want to find a father for my children. As long as it is in name, it is enough for human beings to think that these two children have a father like normal people. You will always leave when you travel here. After you leave, you will not be affected at all. If you are worried about losing your reputation, you can change your name and use a false name to announce to everyone that you are the father of the child. As long as you accompany me around for a few more occasions, you can leave at any time .I will give you a rich reward, enough to cover the loss of your reputation."

Kaguya's idea is very rough, but it is easy to succeed.No one could monitor her every word and action, so she once had a lover or husband, but no one knew about it, and such assumptions are easy to convince others.Especially now that there is another handsome man in real life, even if they don't say it, everyone will guess who the father of the child is.

Yan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of it: "You asked me to tell a story is just an excuse, you just want to create an established fact and let others see me going in and out of your room at night."

Kaguya blinked slyly, and looked a little cute.

Yan Sheng sighed: "Not every man is willing to be a father, really, didn't you ever think that I would refuse?"

Hui Ye smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you disappear, it will be over? Anyway, everyone has seen it."

... She even said so lightly about killing people, she deserves to be a queen!

Iwakatsu was quite helpless, but he didn't dislike Kaguya's actions.In the final analysis, she is to protect her children, as a woman, as a mother, this is the best method she can think of.

"I don't want to criticize you, but I don't think you need to hide it. Those who believe will believe everything, and those who don't believe will not believe anything. It's okay to tell others that this is your child alone. However, If you want your children to be taught by male elders... I can also be their teacher. Since they are your children, they should accept the fact. You are not human, and they are not human, there is nothing to hide, born as Your sons are something they should be proud of. If you are afraid of them being hurt... you can tell them when they are older. If they are afraid, they are not worthy of being your children. If I were their teacher, I would not Will teach your children to be such wimps."

Kaguya's tears flowed silently.

Yan Sheng wanted to take out the silk handkerchief, but suddenly thought of the drool that had wiped Ying Lingzai, so he had no choice but to take off his coat and put it on Kaguya's head to cover her tearful face.

Women are indeed made of water, even the tears shed are very clear, as if a part of himself has turned into water, he thought.Facing the pressure from all sides and raising children, she must have worked very hard until now alone.

"You know, a hunter would rather get close to a bear alone than a weasel with cubs. Beasts with cubs are scary, very scary, very scary~"

Teacher Dazai once said so.

But she didn't tell him that it's terrifying, but it's also shockingly beautiful.
