Lost Narrative Poetry

We must adjust our strategies and take the initiative. There is no other choice.

Because if you continue to stay here at Hakurei Shrine, those who are suspicious will come to you sooner or later. At that time, you will be attacked. You will be unable to defeat four people with two fists, and even a good man will not be able to withstand a group fight.

Even if that group of people just had doubts, rather than insisting that they were the prisoners——

However, when the number of people on one side increases and the strength becomes stronger, the weaker side often does not have much choice and can only swallow it... In that case, it is no different from being directly defeated, so Kanako decided to Gotta take the initiative.

On the one hand, he wanted to leave Hakurei Shrine, so that after the news about Crow Tengu appeared in the newspapers, he and the others would stupidly stay where they were, waiting for others to come and watch. On the other hand, it is natural to work hard to turn passivity into initiative, regain one's own disadvantage, and win the support of other people in Gensokyo.

If nothing is done, the only suspects that everyone can identify through the news about Crow Tengu are them, so they will only target them.

But if you take the initiative to do something, regardless of the effect, whether others will believe the truth will at least provide the residents of Gensokyo with a second possibility, and also share some of the pressure on themselves.

"Is this okay, Hakurei Miko?" Suwako asked. After the discussion, everyone had no objections for the time being, but they still wanted to consult the miko-sama in Gensokyo for their opinions.

"Of course, I won't stop you from doing these things, but I still suggest that you keep these two people..." Reimu Hakurei said calmly, pointing at the only two people who had not changed.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui were immediately suffocated, feeling as if a huge boulder was being pressed against their chests.

"..."

"..."

Inside the shrine, there was silence for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Kanako suppressed her smile and showed a dangerous expression on her gentle face: "Hakurei Miko also needs hostages? Is this a threat?"

She felt a little annoyed, especially since the current appearance of Hakurei Reimu was still Dongfengdani Sanae. If there was a fight, let alone whether she and others could fight, even whether they could attack was a question.

At this moment, the two gods suddenly discovered the insidiousness of that existence. The disruption of the inner and outer realms did not seem to be completely random. Perhaps it should be said that not all of it was random, at least in some arrangements it seemed that it was random. Have a special purpose.

There are monsters and non-humans everywhere in Gensokyo, but that doesn't mean they are truly cold-blooded, or it should be said that the opposite is true.

Take the two gods themselves as an example. Even though they knew clearly that Reimu Hakurei across from them was not Sanae, and that the real Sanae was right next to them, they could not help but look like Sanae.

A miko costume in blue and white tones, with long green hair, and a snake and frog hair ornament. The hair is twisted into a strand with a white snake on the left side, and there is a frog-style hairpin at the root of the hair. Both of them are from Moriya Shrine. Symbols of the gods enshrined...

Judging from the appearance alone, she looks just like Sanae. As long as she makes no other small moves and sits there quietly, there is almost no way to find any mistakes or inconsistencies.

If I had to say it, it was probably the indifference and alienation shown by Reimu Hakurei that made the two people who were very familiar with Sanae feel a sense of dissonance. There was really nothing special about the rest.

"I'm not threatening you. It's just that I can't confirm whether there is a problem on Zi's side or if there is no problem here, but these two people have not been affected in any way. This is a very strange thing. As long as there is suspicion, there will always be Making sure……"

At this time, Reimu Hakurei also frowned. This was what bothered her the most.

Everyone felt that as Hakurei Miko, they should rush over immediately and non-stop every time a change occurred, and resolve the change with utmost precision without causing any trouble to them.

Because it was a matter of responsibility, no one would praise her for how well she did it if she solved the mutation, because this was what she should do, and everyone thought it was a natural development.

But if she fails to solve the mutation smoothly, then it will be her responsibility... The miko-sama also has a very headache. Many times she feels like she is going crazy. She wishes she could kill all the guys who can't stand and talk without pain. Pull him out and beat him up.

And she admitted this kind of thing. After all, she is a Hakurei miko. This is her responsibility. In addition, after solving the mutation every time, although there is no reward, she can still extort some money. The initiator——

By the way, she locked in another celebration banquet and naturally stocked up ingredients for herself for the next few days, so she didn't feel how wronged she was...

But the problem is that in the process of solving the mutation, many people are not cooperating... This is what makes the miko-sama the most annoying. They all point fingers at her, but when she is suspicious, she always refuses. Cooperate--

If that's the case, why do you need Hakurei Miko to do it? You can set up a court of your own. No matter what you have done or whether you are suspected, just accuse others directly!

If this group of people hadn't come in from the outside and were so generous. They just wanted to stay overnight and gave her a whole year's worth of incense money yesterday, then Reimu Hakurei would never be so easy to talk to now...

That's right, being able to explain to the other party seriously is a sign that the miko is very talkative when dealing with mutations.

"Do you have to do this?" Kanako took a deep breath.

"I told you not to do anything stupid, and I won't hurt them..." Reimu Hakurei said impatiently, "It would be the safest for these two to stay in the shrine."

"But you are Hakurei Miko, right? What do you say next? In the end, you have to deal with the mutation. Can you stay in the shrine to protect them?"

Yukinoshita had been silent before, but now she asked.

"this……"

Reimu Hakurei was speechless.

If there were only suspicions about these two people, but nothing could be found, she really had no choice but to look for other clues. It was okay when she was in the shrine. If she were not in the shrine, then anyone could capture these two ordinary people.

Hakurei Shrine is said to be a shrine, but there is no god at all. Even the miko herself does not know which god is enshrined in her shrine.

The prestige of Hakurei Shrine is not because the god it enshrines is very powerful, but because the Hakurei miko who lives inside is very powerful and will starve to death at any time... But if the miko is not at home, then Hakurei Shrine is just an ordinary building.

Not to mention those characters who usually laugh and joke, but are actually powerful enough to overwhelm the world. Even a half-baked witch like Kirisame Marisa can pull out a Bagua furnace and level a shrine with one shot——

This kind of power is just not worth mentioning in Gensokyo, because the real strong person is the one who can really overwhelm mountains and seas, literally... For example, Ibuki Suika, although she looks like a little girl, she doesn't look scary, and His personality is innocent and simple, like a child.

But she once said that as long as she is willing, she can easily knock down the entire mountain of monsters by herself... Others may think that she is boasting, but you must know that she is essentially a big ghost. One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the clan.

The biggest characteristic of the ghost race is that they will never lie or deceive others.

Therefore, if these two people are left at Hakurei Shrine, absolute safety cannot be ensured... Those inhumans will not attack lightly or seriously. Even if they do not attack two ordinary people, if they themselves have a conflict first , the aftermath of the fight was fatal.

"How about this, Miss Reimu, since our goals are the same, why don't we act together?"

Yukinoshita suggested in a calm tone, her rose-red eyes shining.

"Let's act together?" Reimu Hakurei was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and refused coldly, "This is impossible. As I said, I'm not sure now whether it's the problem with Murasaki or with you. What has been done, until then, I will not take sides..."

"It's not partiality, we're just peers. You don't have to do anything for us. It's up to you to decide what to do..." Yukinoshita said calmly, "And in this way, Yuigahama-san and the others will not leave you. You can monitor even us at any time, isn’t this the best?”

"..."

"..."

"Ah, is that so? It seems...it seems to be true..."

Reimu Hakurei suddenly tilted her head in confusion, as if...this is really the truth?

But it just feels like something is not quite right there. It just feels wrong. If you think about it carefully and sort it out logically, you will feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

"But where should we go first? Aren't we unfamiliar with this Gensokyo..."

Megumi Kato, who had always had no sense of presence, at this moment, tilted her head in confusion and asked.

What an assist!

Kanako smiled slightly and glanced appreciatively at the girl with short green shoulder-length hair, wearing a white shirt and plaid skirt. She didn't know that Kato Megumi was really confused about this question.

She cleared her throat and said, "I think we can first find those who are related to us. With such a foundation, it may be easier to negotiate..."

"Could it be...the people our current appearance points to?" Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, seeming to understand something.

"Yes, that's it... By the way, Miss Reimu, we still don't know who our appearance is." Kanako turned to look at Hakurei Miko and said seriously, "Because Since we are not familiar with Gensokyo, our next colleagues will ask you to lead the way..."

She has noticed that the changed appearance of several people in this shrine seems to have deep meaning.

If that classmate Xia Ran wasn't too ruthless, it's very likely that this was the key to breaking the situation for them...

"Huh?"

Hakurei Reimu fell into deep doubts. How could this matter become a fact in just a few words? Did you just agree? "

The miko-sama of Gensokyo felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she just subconsciously replied: "Your appearance is that of the legendary Shirasawa Keiin who belongs to the Terakoya in the Human World, the legendary Shirasawa. And as I mentioned before, her appearance is the one from Lake of Mist⑨..."

"Huh? Didn't you say she was called Cirno? Why did she change her name now?" Suwako frowned, watching Hakurei Miko pointing at her, feeling a subtle malice.

"Because she doesn't know numbers above 10, she can only count to 9, and she will only answer 9 when it exceeds 9..."

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, this is not important, but what about the rest of the people?" Kanako coughed and continued to ask.

"The remaining people..." Hakurei Miko looked at the remaining people before she could speak.

"who?!"

Saber's roar of gnashing teeth was heard again outside the shrine, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, just in time to see her slash a lonely moment with her sword...

——Wait, wait, did this scene happen just now?

The extremely angry Saber looked at the small black dot on the horizon, gritted her teeth and shook her fist angrily, then picked up a bundle of rolled newspapers on the ground and walked into the shrine angrily.

After a few seconds.

I took a look at the newspaper that still smelled like ink when I opened it, and saw that everyone had extremely strange expressions——

"Is she going too fast? She just took a photo a few minutes ago, and now she's delivering newspapers within Gensokyo?"
