Miss Shihua's suddenly low tone surprised Wu Ye, but she didn't immediately explain the reason, but slowly continued to prepare the dishes in front of her.
"I don't have a cleanliness obsession for perfection. I just hope that Liuhua can become a little bit like an ordinary child, just like you."
"..."
Strange, why take me as the standard?
"Feel sorry."
Once again, Miss Shihua herself apologized in advance.
"I didn't mean that, but—"
Miss Shihua's gaze became serious.
"Takeya Kosaka, if it were you, you would definitely be able to correct that guy's distorted worldview, right?"
"...Miss Shihua is really confident in me."
"not like this."
Shaking her head, Miss Shihua lowered her head and stopped looking at Wu Ye.
"As I said before, I have heard about your previous rumors."
"..."
"The weird kid who used to talk about 'monsters' and 'different worlds' every day can now become you standing in front of me. To be honest, I'm surprised."
"Uh, thank you very much..."
That's what the rumor says.
The corner of Wu Ye's mouth twitched, although he seemed to be praised by the other party just now, but thinking about it carefully, why couldn't he be happy at all?
"So I think that you, like this, will definitely be able to help Liuhua."
Miss Shihua's expression didn't look like she was joking, but Wu Ye couldn't say anything.
For him, this is reality, and Gensokyo is also reality, and there are realities on both sides, which is why Takeya has created the dual identity of an ordinary passerby and a superpower in Gensokyo.
Even now, he who is still running away, how can he be qualified to "help" others?
Be it Xiaoniaoyou or Elliot, everyone always subconsciously pins their hopes on him, the "experiencer" who seems to have successfully crossed over, but only he himself knows——
He has nothing to do with Secondary School, he has nothing to do with radio waves, and even all the values he carries have nothing to do with this world.
How could he, who had been playing the role of passer-by from beginning to end, help them?
"Feel sorry."
This was the only answer Wu Ye could give.
"Even if I ask you seriously, can't I?"
"……Feel sorry."
Wu Ye's answer didn't change, and Miss Shihua didn't insist anymore, it's just that Xiaoniaoyou will live temporarily at her daughter's aunt's house in the future, but it's already a matter of decision.
But in the end, she suddenly invited Wu Ye——
"During the summer vacation, I will invite my daughter and daughter to grandpa's house to play. By the way, I will confirm that Liuhua will live in the future. When the time comes, you can come with me."
For this request, Wu did not refuse.
After all, he has no reason to refuse, and there is no need to refuse.
……
In Gensokyo, there is such a legend.
As long as you keep going along the border of Gensokyo, you can find a place that does not exist in Gensokyo, nor does it exist in the outside world. There lives the monster sage who established Gensokyo—Yakumo Zi.
People call this mysterious abode the House of the Lost.
"Are you up? Master Zi."
The nine-tailed demon fox, who is Yakumo Zi's shikigami, was given Yakumo's surname and Lan's name. She is also a very powerful monster who often works instead of the master of "Youkai Idler".
Greeting the returning master is also the work of Shikigami.
"I'm back, Blue."
Speaking lightly, Zi lazily leaned on the small table on the tatami, enjoying the snacks prepared by Shikigami, and asked casually:
"Last time, what happened to the investigation site?"
"Is it about the Scarlet Devil Mansion? It has been confirmed."
Unlike Zi who has a lazy attitude, Lan always maintains a respectful attitude all the time.
"Remilia's weapon Gungnir has indeed lost contact with herself, and the Gungnir that appeared in the outside world can already be determined to be 'lost' by Remilia."
"is it?"
Zixiang nodded indifferently, and then picked up a delicate snack, but at this moment she noticed that Shikigami was hesitant to speak, so she put it down again.
"What's the matter, Blue?"
