Lost Narrative Poetry

Xia Ran was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at the blue and white witch beside her. Was she really a human god? !

However, the Fengzhu girl had a complicated look on her face. She lowered her head and was thinking about something, completely unaware of his gaze.

"Yakumo Murasaki, let this happen naturally. He doesn't have the state of mind and understanding yet. Besides, this is not a bad thing. A born monster like you may not be able to understand it, but for him Maybe now is the best..."

At this time, Suwako spoke very calmly. She seemed to be a god who didn't like to talk too much.

"Well, that's true. Maybe it's better to just let nature take its course for this kind of thing..."

The monster girl thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, then she looked at the Loli God.

"But let's not talk about this. Let's get back to the topic. Do you really not consider my proposal?"

"Of course we will consider it, but we can't give you an answer now..." Suwako replied noncommittally, "This kind of decision cannot be made all at once."

"Why?" The monster girl known as Yakumo Murasaki seemed to be very curious and asked. "You obviously know that with the development of human beings, there is more and more faith in science and intelligence, but you can no longer collect faith? If you continue like this, you will disappear..."

"Knowing the truth, if we continue like this, we will indeed disappear, but that will happen in the future..."

The blond loli glanced at her impatiently, her tone did not change, but she gave people an unpleasant feeling and said -

"If the shrine is transformed from a human world into a fantasy existence, we will directly lose the remaining faith. It is hard to say how long it will be able to survive at that time, and how much power it will still have..."

Although the rest of the words were not spoken, everyone was not stupid and they all knew it.

Moreover, even if we don't consider the worst and worst situation, for example, Yakumo Murasaki just wants to trick them into killing them, just think about it from the most basic issue——

Without the remaining faith, they will not only disappear faster, but the existing power to maintain will also decline significantly, losing a large part.

If they cannot collect faith from the outside world, if they continue like this, they will slowly disappear. This is indeed a fact. But if they move directly into Gensokyo, they will disappear faster, so they must use the power of descent to collect faith in Gensokyo within a very limited time.

This is a dilemma -

Is it slowly heading towards destruction? In enough time, we will see if there are any other variables and possibilities?

Or give yourself a more difficult challenge mode, and challenge directly and succeed within the specified time, otherwise you will become ashes if you fail?

So of course it's impossible to just slap your forehead and make up your mind about this kind of thing, especially these gods who have existed for such a long time. If they had such a reckless character, they would not live to this era.

"In that case, let's come back later. I hope you will give us a definite answer next time..." Yakumo Zi smiled softly, and then took a deep look at Xia Ran, who was not far away. Pause for a moment on him and the girl behind him.

But this time she didn't say anything more, and disappeared directly into the black crack.

It was as if the pure black cracks tearing apart the space were slowly closing, as if the slender eyes of an invisible creature that had been opened in another dimension were slowly closing, but the eyes were dotted with blood-red eyes. .

——This scene is really indescribably weird and chilling.

This blond-haired monster girl left like this, seemingly a little dissatisfied, but judging from her appearance, she did not give up her previous idea, and she would probably come back again in the future.

"..."

"..."

After the big monster named Yakumo Murasaki left, the worship hall of Moriya Shrine fell into an eerily quiet silence for a while.

No one spoke, and at a time like this, it seemed like even the drop of a pin would be very jarring.

Just like this, another ten seconds passed before Suwako's clear voice broke the silence.

This god looked at the blue and white miko who looked a little dazed and had been silent since just now: "Sanae, you must have heard everything just now, right?"

"Yes, yes, Suwako-sama."

Dongfeng Gu Sanae finally came back to her senses at this time and replied softly.

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask the question she was a little worried about: "Um... Suwako-sama, are we going to move into that Gensokyo? Never come back again?"

This is what worries and scares the blue and white witch. It is precisely because of this that she has been silent from just now until now, and has not said a word since then——

She has been living in Chiba since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to the city she lives in and the outside environment. She originally thought that this rhythm would continue forever, but she did not expect that when she came back one day, she heard that Maybe you have to move?

Even if most people hear that they are transferring to a strange place, they may not immediately accept it. After all, abandoning everything familiar and heading towards unknown scenery is not necessarily a good thing.

Not to mention that it seems like he is bidding farewell to the human world completely and moving into a strange place where "non-common sense dominates, a paradise for monsters and gods", and he may never come back again.

It can be said that what just happened was also a psychological shock to Dongfeng Gu Sanae, which was very difficult for her to accept.

But there is no way to object. If this continues, both Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama will disappear...

"If you still can't find a way, you may have to do this, and this is not the first time this monster has come..." Suwako answered the question calmly, "But we don't know much about it. There is more than one big troublesome monster like Yun Zi, so we don’t know whether we should take you with us, but we don’t feel safe leaving you alone in the outside world..."

"Lord Suwako, please take me with you. I want to go with you..." Sanae Dongfengya shook his head, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm.

"This has not been determined yet, and it is not that there is no other hope at all..." Suwazi turned her head slightly and glanced at Xia Ran, then said pointedly, and then waved to the blue and white shrine maiden, " Come in and talk to Kanako first, we still have to discuss this matter."

"Oh." Fengzhu girl was like an obedient daughter, obediently walking into the shrine.

"You two are also guests. Come in later...after you have dealt with your own problems." The blond loli looked at Xia Ran and Yukinoshita beside her, and added lightly.

She is not as innocent as the Fengzhu girl. Although she looks more immature than the Fengzhu girl, the appearance of the god has no meaning.

"..."

"..."

With the departure of Suwako and Sanae Tofugiya, only Natsu Ran and Yukinoshita were left before worshiping at the shrine. The former relaxed immediately, while the latter had a complicated expression on his face.

"Yukoshita-san, actually..." Xia Ran suddenly turned around, patted the girl's shoulder very familiarly, and then said with a serious face, "We just rehearsed it specially, it was a close-up scene Magic show, do you think it’s very real? You almost believe it?”

"So that's it...did you think I would say that?" Yukinoshita nodded expressionlessly, then held her forehead helplessly, "I already have enough headaches now, please don't make any more trouble. ”

"Eh? Is that so?" Xia Ran was a little confused and scratched his cheek with a finger. "I thought it would be difficult for you to accept this reality, so I wanted to give you a scientific explanation so that you can have an understanding. Under the steps..."

"This is not scientific at all. I originally thought you were talking about "settings" and the like..." Yukinoshita lowered her head and sighed desperately, her eyes constantly wandering around her feet. .

"So you have accepted the reality now?" Xia Ran was somewhat unsure.

"Yes, after all, do I refuse to believe that I can deny what just happened with words? That would be too feeble..."

She answered calmly and calmly, if she hadn't deliberately turned around, spoke in another direction, and hid her expression from Xia Ran.

"Speaking of which, classmate Xia Ran, you seemed to want to leave me alone from the beginning? You just don't want me to know these things?!"

"Yeah, anyway, it's not a truth about the world that needs to be known, and it won't change anything." The young man was very calm about this question, "Then it's actually better not to know. In that case, it will be happier, right?"

"You put it lightly. Now I'm starting to wonder if the world is really that peaceful..." Yukinoshita pressed her forehead gently again as if she had a headache, "I always feel that everything I saw before was fake. .”

"Illusions, illusions. In fact, in the current environment, if the world is really unpeaceful, it must be because of human beings..." Xia Ran said with a smile. As long as the girl in front of her can accept it, although she seems to be reluctant. a feeling of.

Probably because she has always been calm, she is now forcing herself to believe and think calmly about how to look at the world again, right? But this is normal, and it takes time to repair the collapse of your outlook on life.

"Don't sound so innocent. Aren't you a human being yourself? Wait, by the way, are you really a human being?"

Yukinoshita did not hide her impatience and looked at Xia Ran with her usual cold expression, but then she seemed to remember something, her body suddenly stiffened, she folded her hands slightly warily, and stared closely. Looking at the young man in front of him.

It felt like some of her previous doubts had been explained... But this did not have any positive meaning. On the contrary, it made her suddenly feel cold, as if she was tied up and unable to move.

Although I know that the other person is the person I know, but it is very likely...not a human...

When this kind of thought appears in the mind and is still clear as never before, it will really make people instinctively frightened, especially when Yukinoshita has just come into contact with a strange and strange world that is very common.

"Does it matter that much whether it is yes or no?" Xia Ran thought for a moment, then spread her hands and smiled without answering the question directly.

Humans and non-humans are in opposing realms, and the boundaries are blurred yet precise, broad yet narrow.

Because if you exceed the limit of "human", you will naturally become "non-human"——

Just like the reason why something becomes "this" thing and not other things is because everything has its own characteristics and has forms and attributes that other things do not have.

Once this thing completely changes its original form and attributes, it will naturally become another thing and will no longer be the original thing.

To put it simply, a triangle is a triangle because it has three sides. If it has two more sides, it is a pentagon... It can be understood roughly like this.

Of course, it is okay to insist that you still have humanity in your heart and retain the bottom line of a human being, so no matter what you become, you will still be a human being. After all, no one stipulates that a pentagonal name is absolutely unacceptable. It's called "triangle".

It's not illegal anyway, you can define it however you like. Just like many people, no matter how dark their face is, they can always say that they have a European heart, although this doesn't change their face at all. The essence of the fact...

Xia Ran knew this truth very well, but his idea was to just let nature take its course, neither resisting it nor pursuing it deliberately.

"..."

"..."

The girl stared into his eyes seriously, and after a long while, she suddenly exhaled.

"I hope so."

She stroked her temples and sighed softly, her tone seemed to have a sense of pale powerlessness, and she looked into the distance.
