Lost Narrative Poetry

"No... no need... let's, let's... leave quickly, Yuigahama has been captured..."

The panting Hikigaya Hachiman waved his hand and said with difficulty. He looked up and found two girls standing in front of him.

One is the Yukinoshita Yukino that I know. He has an upright appearance, long black hair that reaches past his shoulders, and a face that is so cute, but it is cold and severe, like snow, so cold that people dare not approach.

The other one is an exotic girl that I have never seen before. She has a pair of emerald green eyes and a very pretty face without makeup. Her shawl golden hair is simply tied into a ponytail with a blue ribbon. She looks like Just like the noble girls in the European courts in the Middle Ages, they are gentle, dignified and beautiful.

Unlike Yukinoshita Yukino, who had red bow ribbons tied on both sides of her hair, she was basically wearing the same uniform as the other girls, including a mini plaid skirt and black knee-high socks.

This foreign girl was only wearing a white slim-fitting top and a blue knee-length skirt. They were regular clothes rather than student uniforms. She was obviously not from her own school.

Hikigaya Hachiman instantly grasped the key, and his hopeful eyes were fixed on this noble girl with a heroic appearance and a hint of mystery that came from the ancient palace.

This girl must be an "expert" who understands those mysterious events and common phenomena, right? It was because of her presence that he was able to detect something abnormal nearby.

That's why Yukinoshita-san called him, immediately believed what he said, and immediately asked him to come over here to gather?

At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman's mind was spinning wildly. Based on his rich experience in novels and animations, he made logical associations and came up with such logic... He felt that this was the only way to make sense.

"Okay... come with us. We are going to Moriya Shrine now. Kato-san should also come with us. I may need your help when I describe the situation later..."

Yukinoshita nodded, turned to look at the girl standing quietly beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Huh? Can I go with you?" Megumi Kato was a little surprised. She seemed not to be prepared for this. She probably thought that her task was to just bring a sentence.

"Yes, it's best to go with us... Information is always not accurate enough when relayed, and there may be errors or omissions if we tell it again, so I still hope you can go with us."

Yukinoshita said calmly, although she was somewhat reluctant in her heart. She always felt that there was a secret that she had been with someone, and now she wanted to share the same feeling with others, but she was still very rational and prepared to bring Kato with her. Hui together.

She knew very well that the same passage, after being repeated several times by different people, might completely change into a completely different meaning... and Kato Megumi didn't know what was going on. Things like fusion, She can explain everything so wonderfully.

So to be on the safe side, Yukinoshita decided to take her to Moriya Shrine with her. There were some things that only she could explain better.

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was actually a girl standing next to him. She looked ordinary and pretty, not the kind that attracted others' attention too much. She looked like a classmate of his own school, that is. I didn't know him before.

And she didn't appear suddenly, but had been standing on the other side of Yukinoshita Yukino from just now until now. However, he didn't notice her existence at all and just ignored it——

It wasn't until Yukinoshita Yukino spoke to the girl and the girl responded that she suddenly realized that there was actually another person here? !

In an instant, Hikigaya Hachiman was more certain of the conjecture in his heart, and felt that the hope of rescuing Yuigahama Yui was a little greater... After all, these seemed to be "experts" who had mastered mysterious abilities!

Even Yukinoshita Yukino, a girl of the iceberg type, who is usually so cold that people dare not approach her, seems to have been given a mysterious color at this time. Perhaps she is guarding some secrets that should not be known to ordinary people. Woolen cloth……

——At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman's thinking was completely messed up. He suddenly felt that the water in this world was so deep, and even the circle around him hid many secrets of the dark world...

The next step is to go straight to Moriya Shrine near the city center. The mode of transportation is train.

Watching the scenery outside the window flying by, being quickly left behind, and no longer visible in a few seconds, Hikigaya subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Yuigahama had not been rescued yet, the feeling he had on the road was at least much more fulfilling than being in a panic and unable to do anything.

And looking at the girls sitting across from him and their calm and unflustered behavior, unconsciously, it seemed that his mood had also been infected, and he gradually calmed down a lot.

"I used the magic of suggestion. No one else will come in this carriage..." Saber said, explaining the situation that there were only a few of them in this empty carriage.

Although she is not a magician, she has recently started learning magic under Xia Ran's suggestion. Since she has a basic foundation, ordinary magic is not difficult for her, so she has now mastered the suggestion magic recommended by her master. And it just came in handy.

At this time, Saber also felt that the master's suggestion was correct. If she had not learned magic, she would often be powerless in such situations. She couldn't just use her strength to drive other passengers off the bus, right?

There may always be some situations that cannot be solved through direct combat capabilities.

Hikigaya suddenly understood, and he felt that this situation was very strange. Obviously at this time in the past, the trains were very crowded. If it was not at the starting point or terminal station, there were basically no seats, and you could only pull. Griphook stood.

But now the carriage was empty, and only a few of them had reserved the place... In a daze, he wondered if he had fallen into the enchantment of the inhuman thing before -

It seems as if the world has been replaced in an instant, the space has been replaced, and all irrelevant people have disappeared. Only the target targeted by the predator is left, ignorantly waiting for the dangerous approach. By the time it is discovered, it can no longer escape...

But fortunately, it wasn't like that, and it seemed to prove his suspicion.

He swallowed hard and suppressed all the messy doubts. He lowered his head and glanced at the page displayed on his phone. It was the information he had just searched for about Moriya Shrine:

"Um... Yukinoshita-san, how did you know that Yuigahama was captured and taken to that Moriya Shrine?"

"I don't know." Yukinoshita Yukino said lightly, "I never said that she was captured and taken to Moriya Shrine, but if we want to bring her back, we can only go to Moriya Shrine to find a way... "

"Go to the shrine to find a solution? Are you going to worship the gods?" Kato Megumi asked slightly strangely.

"That's right. There are two gods in that shrine who have survived from ancient times thousands of years ago. We can only entrust them to us now..." Yukinoshita replied calmly.

Even if Kato Megumi didn't bring anything, she could actually think of this method, because it was the only method, and there were no other options.

Hikigaya's mind was even more confused. Gods that have survived from ancient times thousands of years ago?

…

…

The other side.

Yuigahama Yui, whose face was still a little pale and the uneasiness in her eyes had not been completely eliminated, looked blankly at the dim and uncertain room around her, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

The room is a typical Japanese style room, with mats on the floor, and the space is surrounded by sliding windows and partitions. It exudes a vague and ambiguous environment. You can't see where the light source is, but it looks mysterious and bright, as if it is bright and clear. The realm of darkness is confused here.

The girl hugged her knees and huddled in the corner of the wall. She thought she was going to be eaten directly, but unexpectedly she was taken to a strange place...

It was like a monster house or something, and the inhuman thing didn't just dip her into the sauce and eat her, but calmly told her to wait quietly here for a while and would send her back soon. , won't hurt her.

Yuigahama can't tell whether the other person's tone is sincere or not, although she is very good at reading other people's faces and has a very good skill in reading atmosphere and a good eye that will not make people feel unhappy.

However, in the face of a strange existence that seemed to cover all the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but the deepest part concealed an extremely bland expression that was obviously different from human emotions, even the top psychiatrist was helpless, let alone her. .

However, from a logical point of view, it seems that the other party does not need to deceive her anything, and there is no need... maybe what he said is true, and she can leave here safely? A glimmer of hope subconsciously emerged from Yuigahama's heart.

But she didn't relax because of this. After all, if that was the case, what was the point of this kind of monster teasing her? It can't be a magical development like "The Bride of ×××", right?

Although it was not a story about a domineering president, at this moment, the girl still inexplicably thought of some strange developments, and immediately shook her head, trying to dispel the weird thoughts in her mind!

No, no! This is absolutely not possible! That weird existence made it impossible for me to determine its gender at all. What on earth was I thinking? !

brush--! !

At this moment, the door on the opposite side was opened, and Yuigahama Yui, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly frightened, and her face turned even paler - is it coming?

There were nine furry tails on the back, and the soft hat on the head had a pair of pointed protrusions, which were probably ears. Wearing a dress similar to an improved Taoist robe, a fox girl walked in holding a tray.

She put the tray down, bowed very politely to the human girl huddled in the corner, and treated her like a guest: "Please use it with caution."

"This...this is..." Yuigahama Yui smelled the aroma of the food, glanced at the tray, and was stunned.

"If there is anything else you need, just tell me and I will try my best to prepare it for you..." The fox girl didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, and then left the guest room she had just tidied up.

"wait wait wait!"

Yuigahama Yui mustered up the courage and called out to the other party with a weak and trembling voice, although she looked like she was about to cry.

Is this a nine-tailed fox?

This is definitely the legendary nine-tailed fox, right? This is indeed the monster's lair!

"Is there anything else you need?" The fox girl looked at her and asked, the nine furry tails behind her wagging.

Yuigahama wished she could squeeze into the gap in the corner of the wall, so that she could feel safe. Under the gaze and polite questioning of the scary monster opposite, she couldn't help but tremble, but she still suppressed her fear. asked:

"Um, um... I want to ask, what do you plan to do with me?"

"I don't know." The fox girl thought for a moment and did not intentionally intimidate or threaten her. She just told the truth. "This is something that only Master Zi can decide. I can't give you the answer at the moment."

Although it is honest, it is no different from intimidation.

Yuigahama Yui is still very scared. She doesn't know what kind of fate awaits her, and she doesn't know what to say.

Probably seeing that she had nothing else to do, the fox girl nodded slightly, exited the room, and closed the door.

The nine-tailed fox walked through the long corridor and came to a space similar to the living room: "Master Zi, I have sent food to that human girl..."

"Oh, I see..." The weird existence nodded casually, "Also, you don't need to call me Master Purple. I am not Yakumo Purple now, at least not all... Blue. You should know it very well. .”
