Lost Narrative Poetry

"Eh heh heh? Are you an outsider again?"

Just when everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say, someone at the banquet also noticed them.

It was a girl dressed as a little witch. She was talking to a girl in a witch costume with exposed armpits. She looked very interested, but the witch girl was completely absent-minded and perfunctory. There was one sentence Talking without a word——

The miko seemed to be very lazy, focusing mainly on the banquet. It seemed that she was the only one who really participated for the banquet itself. Whether it was eating or drinking, it was her goal.

It's just that the girl didn't gobble it up, but was very elegant. If you didn't observe carefully, it would be hard to find that her main attention was entirely on the food and drinks...

It's hard not to complain. Isn't this witch a little too much? Is her daily life so tight? So that whenever you get a chance, you will eat a big meal to prepare for the long period of starvation?

The little witch has obviously known the character of this witch for a long time, and doesn't care too much - but when there is nothing else worth noting, she can still chatter to her friends who ignore her. Anyway, she only needs to say Just come out and it's up to others whether they listen or not.

But when she glanced at the torii from the corner of her eye and saw a group of conspicuous strangers, she immediately became interested in other things, decisively left her friends behind and ran over.

Seeing such a girl running over recklessly, Saber was very alert, but before she could do anything, she felt her arm being pulled.

The blond loli behind him said calmly: "Don't be too nervous. She is not threatening or malicious... In fact, there is no danger here, so don't worry too much..."

Although the banquet here at Hakurei Shrine seemed lively and crowded, none of the real heavyweights came to participate, and neither did the big monster. It seemed that he disdained to have fun with the people——

Wouldn't it be too out of style for you to come as soon as you call me?

It's not that they are really cold and look down on other people, it's just that the banquets in Gensokyo are too frequent.

You can always find a reason to hold a banquet, one before the mutation, another after the mutation, or even a banquet during the mutation... So the question is, when will the mutation happen?

Regarding this problem, there are not many major changes, but there are always many small changes. Even the appearance of a new character may cause changes...

At breakfast, activate a mutation, at lunch, activate a mutation, at dinner, activate a mutation... Fortunately, not many people in Gensokyo seem to have developed the luxurious habit of eating late night snacks, otherwise, Hakurei The miko must be going crazy.

It is precisely because of this that mutations have become so frequent. The real bosses don't even bother to deal with small mutations. As long as they don't disturb themselves, they usually just laugh and watch the show.

So how can it be possible for those noble people to come to banquets that are more frequent than the mutation frequency? Thinking about it, you know it’s impossible. Some people would rather enjoy flowers in their own territory, while others would rather stay at home and play games——

Anyway, I just don’t want to deal with those stupid and stupid guys often...

--Because stupidity is contagious.

However, the scene is not without troublesome characters. There are several at a glance. For example, there is a seven-color puppet user who seems to be able to move on his own, or there is a variety of elemental fluctuations that appear to be invisible. Some sickly witches...

These are relatively troublesome people, and once they really need to take action, the winner cannot be determined in a short time.

Of course, the one who seemed the laziest and most impossible to ignore was the girl in the red miko uniform. Both Kanako and Suwako secretly paid attention to the Hakurei miko until they confirmed The other party is not pretending to be stupid, but he really puts all his energy into eating, eating, eating...

They felt a little relieved. As for the girl who ran over carelessly, she obviously didn't pose any threat.

"Outsiders? If we look at it by your standards, we are indeed outsiders..." Yasaka Kanako looked at the excited little witch in front of her, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Speaking of which, this is Gensokyo?”

This is asking knowingly.

But when dealing with a little girl like this who seems to be easy to deceive, there is no need to deliberately use clichés, just be more direct. All she needs to do is start with a simple topic, and according to her experience, the little girl will continue talking in one breath with familiarity.

"Yes, yes, this is Gensokyo...don't you look like ordinary people? You must not have been brought in by God, right?"

The little witch's long golden hair reflected the golden luster in the sun. She was wearing a black hat that must have been too big, a dress similar to a maid's outfit, and she was holding a broom in one hand...

She looked at the group of people in front of her with interest, but after all, she didn't have the kind of eyesight to see through everyone's details at a glance. She could only infer this: "Is it the newcomer who just moved into Gensokyo recently?"

"It can be said that we were invited in by Yakumo Purple, or the ones who just came in..." Yasaka Kanako smiled slightly, fully demonstrating the affinity of a mature lady.

"As expected, it's no wonder that you will appear directly near Hakurei Shrine. Generally speaking, the shrine is the gateway. When you enter Gensokyo, the people who will appear directly at the shrine are usually people who are allowed to enter and exit by Murasaki. …”

The girl also laughed brightly, "By the way, my name is Marisa Kirisame. We are holding a banquet now. Do you want to come with us?"

"Is this...is it really okay? We just came in, and we are not familiar with you..." Kanako looked a little embarrassed, just as she imagined, the girl in front of her didn't need to deliberately formulate words, just Will tell a bunch of information in detail.

Of course, it's not necessarily because this girl named Marisa Kirisame is stupid and has no scheming reasons. It's more likely because this kind of thing is not worthy of the people in Gensokyo having any sense of confidentiality.

"Of course it's no problem. If you're not familiar with it now, you'll be familiar with it later..." Marisa Kirisame said carelessly, "The banquet isn't so elaborate. Even if the villagers down the mountain can come here, they can Attending the banquet..."

"Even? That means they still haven't participated?"

"Yes, after all, it is a banquet of monsters. Even if it really won't harm them, who would have the courage to come up? In fact, they have never even been to Hakurei Shrine, and many outsiders know how to come. You can go back when you reach Hakurei Shrine, but in the end I still didn’t have the guts to come up..."

Marisa Kirisame giggled and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment——

"Maybe it's because Reimu's character is too attractive to monsters, so when there are more monster activities in the shrine, there will naturally be fewer people...many villagers don't understand these people."

With that said, she pointed behind her, indicating that she was talking about the non-human beings attending the banquet behind -

"Ordinary people just think that as long as it is a monster, it must be a cannibal, and they dare not approach it at all... So everyone spread the word, and no one has come to the shrine in the past two years, and the money for incense has almost been cut off."

Speaking of this, Marisa Kirisame couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I'm a little suspicious that so many banquets are held every now and then. Is it because Murasaki saw this situation and was afraid that Reimu would starve to death? So I found this reason to help her..."

She felt that this seemed very possible. Just like the current banquet, Yakumo Blue directly brought an ordinary human girl, saying that Zi wanted to celebrate her finding a boyfriend or something, so she wanted to Host a banquet at Hakurei Shrine.

Anyway, it is a very weird and puzzling reason. Even a fool can hear that it is far-fetched. It seems to be just looking for a reason to have a party——

After all, the frightened human girl looked ordinary and had no characteristics. After a few inquiries, she was able to confirm that she had nothing to do with Murasaki. She didn't even know Yakumo Murasaki.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary human being who has come in from the outside world. He was randomly selected by the peeping tom. As a perfunctory reason, the purpose was to hold a banquet so that Reimu would not starve to death and could endure it for a while longer... …

Only Reimu didn't think about it that much, or didn't care at all. All she could think about was the ingredients that Yakumo Ai brought.

"This is normal. Human beings have always been the most exclusive. They are like this even within their own race. Naturally, don't expect them to understand other alien races..."

Kanako smiled indifferently and didn't feel strange about this. Most people were like this, it was really normal. She had no intention of evaluating human concepts, it was meaningless.

"Huh?" Kirisame Marisa was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at the group of people in front of her, "Listening to what you said... aren't you human beings?"

"Well, she and I are indeed neither..." Kanako pointed at Suwako behind her and said with a smile, "But the others are still human beings."

"Oh, then why did you come in?"

"We want to find a girl..." Hikigaya finally couldn't help but speak at this time.

"Huh? What's the answer?" Marisa Kirisame gave the boy with dead fish eyes a strange look, then curled her lips, "There are girls everywhere here. It might be easier if you said you were looking for a man. Some……"

"Well……"

"Her name is Yuigahama Yui. Like us, she was probably brought in from the outside world just today..." Yukinoshita spoke calmly, answering before Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Ah? So it's that girl?" Marisa Kirisame was stunned for a moment, and seemed to identify the corresponding person in an instant.

"You know?!" Hikigaya suddenly became excited.

"Of course, how could I not know such a thing? I am a magician~DA☆ZE~" the girl said proudly with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"Then where is she?!"

"It's right over there!" Marisa Kirisame pretended to cough twice, turned around and pointed, "This banquet was held because of her... Well, she seems to be drunk. Look, she's lying on the ground She's the one sleeping on the table over there."

"..."

"..."

At this moment, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya subconsciously looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and both saw a familiar meatball head.

This was completely beyond their expectation... This matter was so simple. They were completely unprepared. They didn't even have time to complain about such an obvious thing, and it had nothing to do with whether they were magicians or not.

…

…

"Master Zi, are you going to let them succeed like this?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there any problem..."

"No, I originally thought... I thought..." The fox girl hesitated. She originally thought that the weird existence in front of her would be more malicious, and being so talkative was not like "his" style.

"Lan, tell me, if I subvert everyone's inner and outer realms next time, and have an angel sad fall, it won't affect the two of them... Do you think they will be chased by the entire Gensokyo? Kill?"

The weird existence laughed, how could it be so easy to pass the trial arranged by "him".
