It is neither attached to the Dark Continent like Dragon Paradise, nor is it adjacent to the Dark Continent like Heaven and Hell. It does not exist anywhere in the Three Realms and is connected to anywhere in the Three Realms. It is independent of the world and yet intersects with the world. It is a fantasy world that is always in contradiction, which is both parallel lines and intersection points.
Gensokyo is as peaceful as ever today.
In the deep mountains in the far east, there begins with an inconspicuous stone step, almost buried by weeds, winding up the top of the mountain. It is not until we are about to reach the top that the stone steps that appear and disappear slowly become wider and slightly more noticeable. So a little bit of style, of course, just a little bit.
After crossing the widest and most imposing stone steps, you are faced with the vermilion torii gate. The simple shrine inside the torii gate also ushered in its daily life today, burning in the raging fire.
The girl with strange wings and wearing loose pajamas flew over the shrine, made a face towards the shrine wrapped in fire, and patted her immature butt that was not very pert.
"You idiot Reimu, if you have the ability, come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to play. My sister and I are always waiting for you."
After saying that, he turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky. He was a very naughty child. However, burning the shrine seems to have gone beyond the category of naughty child. Of course, for Gensokyo and the shrine, this is It's just a normal day-to-day life.
Among the raging fire, there is only one place that cannot be reached by the flames, and even the eyes cannot enter it. It seems to be an independent realm within a realm in Gensokyo, isolating everything, whether it is life, non-life, or matter. , or non-material. For those who are not allowed, this is something that does not exist. Their perception and cognition will never be able to touch this place.
In this independent world, a golden skeleton sits quietly in the center of the space. In the arms of the skeleton, a girl with a bow in a red dress and white sleeves sleeps quietly. It is both warm and full of weirdness that seems to contain endless mystery. .
It seemed that she had been sleeping for a long time, but also seemed to have only blinked for a moment. The girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing Gujing Fubo's eyes. The pupils in her eyes had no emotion, leaving only endless majesty, as if they had experienced a long time. A god who has been baptized by the years and all emotions have been erased.
Blinking her eyes a few more times, she gradually regained some of her energy, dexterity, and popularity. The aura of aloof gods gradually weakened, like a fairy who was banished to the mortal world and turned back into an ordinary girl...well, probably.
"It seems that the time has not yet come." The girl who had just opened her eyes murmured in a low voice as if she was dreaming.
"If this is your will, father, then I will carry it out to the end."
After saying that, he rubbed himself in the skeleton's arms with great attachment, then reluctantly stood up, turned around, said goodbye to the skeleton, and left lightly.
From the gap between the unknown world, she returned to her world, Gensokyo.
Then……
He was instantly overwhelmed by the flames and at a loss.
"Cough cough... cough cough... Which bastard is it... Well, no need to guess, it must be the two troublemakers from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, cough cough... don't let me catch you, otherwise... cough... …Cough cough cough… otherwise I will strip you two damn vampires naked and hang them upside down on the torii gate to attract guests, cough cough cough…”
It seems that this method is feasible. After all, there are lolicons in any world. Maybe there are people who come all the way to the shrine just to see those two vampires with breasts but no breasts and butts but no butts, and just throw a few into the money box. With a small stature, a small amount of money, and a tinkling sound, it won't take long to raise the funds to rebuild the shrine.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become, but first, let’s escape from the fire, if you don’t want to live in it forever.
Covering her mouth and nose with her wide white cuffs, the miko rushed out of the fire with a moan, wiped her fair and half-blackened face, and extinguished the sparks on the skirt behind her buttocks.
The Lord of Gensokyo, the shrine's only designated shrine maiden in red and white armpit-baring clothing, looked back at the shrine that had become charred, and decisively gave up treatment.
It’s hopeless, let’s rebuild.
How to rebuild it? The experienced Red and White Princess immediately came up with two methods in her mind.
Either raise funds and ask the carpenters and villagers at the foot of the mountain to help build it.
Or... catch free coolies.
Do it yourself? This option does not exist, because the great Gensokyo Miko-sama never does useless work. Anyway, sooner or later after rebuilding, she will be burned by those two bastard vampires.
She found the only match money box that survived the flames, opened the secret door in the belly of the box, reached inside and dug out again and again, making a lonely crisp sound of clanging, clanging, clanging, and finally pulled out a few copper plates.
Not enough.
It's far from enough. Simply put, it's not even enough for a wooden board.
I have no choice but to find free coolies.
I gave up and sighed. At this time, a thin voice came from the horizon, from far to near, when the word "Dream~~~Dan~~~Ling~~~Dream~~~" was dragged to the end. , how does the figure appear?
The red and white princess turned sideways without expression, and the petite figure with six ice wings floating behind her jumped into the air, failed to land on the way, and fell far away from the ground, then remained motionless.
Shouldn't he be dead?
Just as he was about to flee in fear of crime, the other party suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards him again, shouting loudly.
"Cirnuo misses her mother. Take Cirno home quickly. Cirno wants to find her mother!"
"Wait a minute." The red and white princess cleverly rolled her eyes and had a plan in mind.
"You also know that the shrine is the only way to the outside world in Gensokyo."
"Cirno wants a mother!!!"
"But now, the shrine has been burned down by bad guys."
"Cirno wants a mother!!!"
"So, if you want to see Wu's mother, you must rebuild the shrine no matter what."
"Cirno wants a mother!!!"
With a "boom", the ice fairy named Cirno fell down with smoke coming from her forehead.
"Now, can Wu understand what people are saying?" The armpit-baring miko in red and white clothes asked sternly, shaking her fist and assuming her strongest stance in Gensokyo.
"Anyway... Anyway, just repair the shrine, right." Cirno covered her forehead, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, and succumbed to the minions of the evil forces.
"In short, that's right. As long as the shrine is rebuilt, everything will be easy."
"Idiot Reimu, lazy bastard Reimu, the second most hateful villain in the world, Reimu." Cirno muttered. As for the most hateful guy in the world, of course he was the most lazy and greedy idiot who dared to steal his mother from her. Ignorant, arrogant and stupid Crystal.
"Okay, the smart Cirno-sama will help you rebuild the shrine now. If you lie to Cirno-sama, Cirno-sama will demolish your shrine."
"Easy to say, easy to say." The red and white princess smiled and narrowed her eyes. She sat in front of the torii gate. She didn't know where the hot water came from, a teapot, and a set of teacups. She made a cup of hot tea and leaned against the vermilion pillar. , took a slow sip, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Well, the weather is nice today, so it's a good time to go demolish the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Turning to Cirno from the corner of his eye, he saw her fluttering six ice wings and turning into a blue light and disappearing into the sky. He was a little curious, but after a while, she came back again, and then heard a hahahahahahahahahahahaha. The sound of working hard is very real.
Before the pot of hot tea was finished, Cirno announced loudly and arrogantly.
"Okay, Cirno-sama has rebuilt the shrine. You idiot Reimu, hurry up and fulfill your promise. Cirno-sama wants to see mom!"
Turning back stiffly and looking at the alternative shrine in front of her, the Red and White Princess rubbed her temples: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have the slightest expectations for a fool like you."
"The guy who calls other people stupid is a fool. Do you have any dissatisfaction with the shrine built by the smart Lord Cirno?" Cirno crossed his arms with an air of greatness on his face.
"First of all." The Red and White Princess put down her tea cup and pointed at the shrine made of ice in front of her.
"Wouldn't it be over in this damn place once the weather gets hot?"
"Don't worry, Cirno-sama's specially made ice won't melt even if it's burned by fire."
"Thank you for caring about this level, but you will catch a cold if you live in it. It's too cold."
"Only fools catch colds."
"No, only idiots don't catch colds."
"This is what mom said. Since you don't even believe what mom said, Reimu is indeed a big fool."
"Okay, let's put this topic aside for now." Giving up the unnecessary argument, the Red and White Princess rubbed her temples vigorously again, and her eyes fell on the shrine again.
The shrine made of ice cubes is translucent and reflects colorful colors under the sunlight. It is beautiful. It is true to say that, but because it is translucent, you can see inside the ice cubes, which seem to be inlaid. There are some weird ones. Something beyond comprehension.
"Last question, what is the thing embedded in the ice cube?"
"frog."
"What is that thing embedded in the ice cube?" The red and white princess looked blank, as if she didn't hear the other party's answer, or she had the idea of escaping reality, so she asked again mechanically and repeatedly.
"frog."
"Hey!" A flying kick from the underworld smashed the shrine to pieces. Thousands of frogs escaped from the ice, as if they had awakened from hibernation, croaking, jumping and scurrying around. move.
"Ah, the frogs that Cirno finally collected!"
"I need some normal, free labor." Ignoring Cirno, who was kneeling and screaming, the red and white princess who accomplished something very satisfying clapped her hands and said in deep thought.
"Let's go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to play."
"don't want."
"Don't you miss Wu's mother?"
"But Cirno just went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion yesterday."
"People die for money, and birds die for food. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. In order to pursue interests and achieve goals, yesterday's friends are today's enemies. Cirno, you should learn to think like an adult." Pushing up the frames of her non-existent glasses, the red and white princess looked social, as if she had been there.
"Cirno had delicious biscuits, cakes, and black tea yesterday. Today, I came to the idiot Reimu. There is nothing delicious, and I have to rebuild the shrine." Although Cirno is stupid, there are many benefits to whichever camp she joins. But she knew it clearly in her heart.
"The other party just has a good maid. Without her, the Scarlet Devil Mansion would be a gathering of useless people and abandoned houses. Those two idiot vampires can't even wipe the shit out of their eyes!"
"But there are cakes, biscuits, black tea, and there are people to play with Cirno." Cirno stretched her fingers, and it was like shooting four sharp arrows, which were accurately inserted into the heart of the red and white princess.
"What a realistic world, what a realistic mortal."
"Huh huh huh, this is the world of adults. The idiot Reimu won't understand." Wacking her index finger, Cirno puffed out her chest thinking she was mature and said with a smile.
"To be attacked by an idiot general like you, ah ah ah, I've had enough. Think about it carefully, which is more important, mother, or biscuits, cakes and black tea?"
"Of course mom is important." Cirno replied immediately without thinking.
"Then quickly go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and get some help."
"But why go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"
"Didn't you say we'd go get some labor? Those two idle and panic-stricken vampires might be able to bring a capable maid along with them."
"So it's enough to have free labor. Is that what you mean? Can smart Cirno-sama understand the nonsense of idiot Reimu in this way?"
"Remove the strange prefixes, or turn them around. That's roughly what it means."
"Wait a minute." Cirno turned into a blue light and disappeared again. This time she left for a little longer. Just when the Red and White Princess was wondering if the other party had run away, Cirno came back.
A large group of points of light followed behind.
"I've brought help." She landed on the ground, greeted the red and white princess, and pointed to the goblins next to her.
"Lumia." The cute shy little girl with blond hair blushed and lowered her head.
"Da-chan." The girl with long green hair, a slim figure, and a slightly mature look smiled kindly.
"And everyone." And a group of goblins behind them, about forty or fifty in number.
"Then, the clever Sir Cirno made a major discovery." Cirno turned around, pointed at the red and white princess, and said with a serious and even a little pity expression on her face.
"You idiot Reimu has no friends."
no friend……
have friends……
friend……
friend……
…
The next day, with the efforts of many goblins, the shrine was finally rebuilt.
"Go home, Cirno is going back to her mother!" The fairies were singing and dancing. Cirno pulled Rumia and Dai-chan and spun around hand in hand.
In sharp contrast to the cheerful atmosphere there, at the foot of the torii gate, in front of the money box, facing the brand-new shrine, the rising sun penetrated the bow-knotted girl in a red and white armpit-baring miko costume, which seemed to be ready at any time. The pale white figure wants to leave his body.
Precisely because it was Tong Yan Wuji, the critical attack came so suddenly that the unscrupulous miko-sama with one hundred thousand gold coins couldn't bear it for a moment, and was lost in the crossroads of life...
