The Book of Maiden Contract

Yakumo Zi has always been striving to build a Gensokyo where everyone can live happily regardless of race or strength. She doesn't know when she started to have such an ideal, but she just had this idea in her mind. At that time, she could no longer stop herself.

For thousands of years, she has relied on her own strength to move towards her ideal little by little. Of course, there were countless failures and situations that made her desperate, but she survived after all, and at this moment, fantasy The township was finally established, but... there was no excitement or joy in her heart, only endless sadness, because the price was too heavy.

There was a grove behind the Hakurei Shrine. Under the cold moonlight, the fire was sizzling. Yakumo Zi and Hakurei Priestess sat beside the fire, back to back, without speaking for a long time.

"If you don't say anything else, it will be too late." Finally, the witch spoke, smiling as if joking.

Yakumo Zi's heart was twisted like a knife, letting the breeze blow her blond hair, she raised her head slightly, but the bangs on her forehead covered her sight, she couldn't see the expression in her eyes clearly, but she couldn't hide the sadness on her face, He said sadly, "Did you already know that there would be such a result?"

The witch said naturally: "We borrowed power from the Dragon God, and this is the price."

Yakumo Zi trembled, and said as if angry: "If you want to disappear one of them, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to eliminate me as a monster by the way?"

"Because... your life is longer than mine, and you love this land more than I do. I can see every fiery and lonely dream of yours." The witch grabbed Yakumo Zi's hand and looked Seeing her feet turning into sparks and disappearing bit by bit, she still smiled softly, "Yakumo, please be strong, even if my life is gone, my spirit will be intertwined with your dream Together, forever. Now, I will set off and go to another battlefield. Please, and only you, entrust everything in Gensokyo to you, as my eyes and hands, and then you will I saw the dream of Gensokyo..."

Yakumo Zi felt that her hands were empty, and she looked back suddenly. In her sight, the priestess who was as dazzling as the sun, the priestess who was as pure as a clear spring, had disappeared, only the little sparks formed by the priestess' life, Floating in the air, and then gradually dissipated.

"Is this... the price?"

Yakumo Zi stretched out her hand, but she could no longer grasp what she wanted. The moment she raised her head, her bangs were scattered, and her clear eyes were filled with tears.

...

"The dream is over...wake up." Lin Luo snapped his fingers and looked at the two girls opposite.

Meili and Lianzi trembled, and slowly opened their eyes. At that moment, tears fell silently from their eyes. They instinctively reached out to wipe them off, but they could not dry them off. They cried and laughed at the same time: while muttering to themselves "What's going on...it's just a dream...you know it's not real...why...why do you feel so sad...why you can't stop crying...hehe, it's so strange..."

Lin Luo sighed secretly, and said: "It's all real, what we entered is a real dream, what you see is also what happened in reality, what you feel at this moment is exactly the sadness in their hearts, That's why you're sad and you're crying."

"Even if it's true...I'm not a sentimental person...it's impossible to cry endlessly..." Lianzi said stubbornly, wiping her tears, but it was obvious that her words were insincere. Mei Li is still very good, almost turning into a big face.

Meili felt no less sadness than Lianzi, but she was calmer after all. After a while, she wiped off the tears on her face and looked at Lin Luo with a somewhat hoarse voice: "You let us see that dream, shouldn't Will there be no reason, why exactly?"

"With your intelligence, you should understand." Lin Luo said.

Mei Li's pupils narrowed, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "What does that monster and that witch have to do with us?"

When Mei Li asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart, because she has always had dreams, and in her dreams, she often saw the monster named Yakumo Zi, but the previous dreams were relatively vague, but this Once, such a clear dream, a monster that looked exactly like her... Although she couldn't believe it, the answer seemed to be ready.

"Do you really want to know? The truth may be cruel to you." Lin Luo looked at them and said seriously.

Mei Li didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Lianzi was still crying, but it was much better than at the beginning. She wiped her face with her sleeve fiercely a few times, and said complainingly: "Asshole, I didn't have any interest at all, but after seeing such a dream, How can you let me hold back my curiosity! If you don't say it, I will make you say it even if I kill you."

"Well, in fact, I decided to say it at the beginning, just to let you have a mental preparation..." Lin Luo sat down against the wall, and at the same time called the girls to sit down, and then said, "Let's go first Let’s talk about that witch, the witch died, her life disappeared as a price, and her soul was also integrated into the Great Barrier, this result made her unable to reincarnate after death like ordinary people..."

"It's so pitiful, obviously I have paid so much..." Lianzi couldn't help but said, and at the same time gave Lin Luo a hard look, as if he was responsible for the fate of the first generation.

Lin Luo couldn't laugh or cry, because of their mood at the moment, he didn't explain it, and continued: "It should have been like this, but it happened by chance, or it should be said that it was inevitable... Constantly repairing and repairing in the Great Barrier During the repair process, although the function of the Great Barrier was still as perfect as it was at the beginning, it was no longer pure in nature. Therefore, when this impurity appeared, a small part of the souls of the first-generation witches flowed out of the Great Barrier, and then Entering reincarnation..."

"The witch was reincarnated? Where did she go?" Before Lin Luo could finish speaking, Lianzi couldn't wait to ask. Obviously, after seeing that dream, she, who never chased stars, had become the most loyal of the first generation of witches. fans. Although she has great doubts about reincarnation, she sincerely hopes that people can be reincarnated after death. At the same time, she also hopes that the first generation can be transferred to a good family, so that it will not be as hard as the previous life.

Well, if she can be reincarnated in this era, we can still be friends with her... Lianzi thought to herself.

A girl's fantasy is so naive.

Lin Luo didn't know that the naive girl had already started to have delusions. He fixed his eyes on Lianzi and said seriously: "Yes, part of the witch's soul has indeed been reincarnated, and in this era, as a girl."

"Who is it?" Lianzi asked immediately, and she was very excited that she really guessed it.

Lin Luo looked at her, "...that girl is called Usami Lianzi."

Mellie: "..."

"Usa sees Lianzi? Isn't that me? Haha, it turns out that I am the reincarnation of a witch. That's great... Huh?" Lianzi laughed for a while, and suddenly realized that she jumped up from the ground, dumbfounded. Pointing at himself, "Huh huh huh huh??!!!!"

"..." Lin Luo didn't speak.

"..." Meili remained speechless. In fact, when she realized that Yakumo Zi might be herself, she thought that the witch might be Renko, even though the two of them didn't look alike at all.

However, Lianzi obviously hasn't been able to digest this information. After screaming for a while, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Luo by the collar, completely forgetting that this man who has a very bad impression in her heart is very likely Pushing her to such a terrible "fact", she leaned close to her face and stared into Lin Luo's eyes from a close distance, "What did you just say?!"

Lin Luo said, "I can tell you responsibly that you heard me right."

"I am the first priestess of Hakurei Shrine?"

"Yes and no."

"What's the meaning?"

"...Before answering this question, I think you should stay away first. You know, I am probably a pervert." Lin Luo reminded her seriously.

"Ah!" Lianzi finally came to her senses, and jumped back with a swipe, looking at Lin Luo like a wolf... The distance just now was really bad, and she was almost taken advantage of.

"Tell me, what's going on?" After calming down a little, Lianzi asked again.

"In fact, I have already said this before. It is only a small part of the witch's soul that is reincarnated. It can be said that it is only her remnant soul. Therefore, after the reincarnation of this remnant soul, you can be said to be the first generation of witches. Incomplete, it can be said that it is not." Lin Luo explained.

"..." After saying this, Lianzi completely understood, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and was speechless in a daze... Is she just a remnant soul?

"That's why I said, the truth is more cruel." Seeing her like this, Lin Luo sighed.

Lianzi didn't know if she heard Lin Luo's words, she quietly walked to the side and sat down, bent her legs, buried her head on her knees, Lin Luo and Mei Li looked at each other, and didn't know how to comfort them , just a moment later, the two suddenly heard a slight sobbing sound from Lianzi's side.

"That... Although the setting of the remnant soul is indeed a bit wronged, but there is no need to cry, you are you." Seeing this, Lin Luo couldn't help but say.

Unexpectedly, Lianzi suddenly raised her head, wiped her tears, and said loudly: "I don't care about remnants, it's just that I was so pitiful in my previous life, I didn't eat well, I didn't dress well, I didn't live well, I don't even have to play on the computer, and I have to die for others in the end, how can I be reconciled if I don't cry for a while!"

"..." Hearing these words, Lin Luo immediately burst into tears.

It's such a sad atmosphere, please don't mess around, okay? ? ?
