Lost Narrative Poetry

"Please have tea, Xia Ran-san, and Yukinoshita-san."

Dongfeng Gu Sanae seemed to have calmed down, with a slight smile on her face, and served tea to both guests.

The two of them thanked each other. Yukinoshita held up the simple tea cup with no pattern on the surface in both hands and looked at it, and then she didn't know what she was thinking.

Well, she's basically determined now——

The one before made people fall in love with her at first sight. Although she acted very cold, she was still a blond lolita that people wanted to take home and raise. Her true identity was the god enshrined in Moriya Shrine. One of them is called Gakuya Suwako.

The beautiful lady I saw just now has a bold and generous personality, is informal, and is very cheerful. The sides of her blue hair stretch to the left and right. She has short, shoulder-length hair with an amazing volume. She has a hat-like straw rope on her head. On the rope On the right side, the leaves of red maple and ginkgo are decorated.

The attire is all red, and the top is red short-sleeved, with metal cuffs blocking the cuffs. Under the short sleeves, she also wore a white loose long-sleeved shirt, and the bottom was a dark red long skirt. There is also a huge straw rope loop behind, with many paper hangings hanging from it.

It is said that this is also one of the gods enshrined in Moriya Shrine, and her name is Yasaka Kanako.

Moreover, these two gods used to be enemies, but now they have become very good friends. I don’t know what exactly happened... But the point is not this, but that these two "people" are actually legends. of gods.

A great figure in ancient legends, religions and myths, the creator or master of all things in the world.

The blue-and-white witch with a slight smile on her face seemed to be some kind of human god. According to Xia Ran's explanation to her, she collected beliefs as a human and turned the collected beliefs into Power, becoming a being treated the same as God...

To put it simply, this Fengzhu girl is not a human being in the strict sense.

As for the last one, it is naturally Xia Ran himself next to Yukinoshita. On the surface, he is a high school student in a certain school. He is in the second grade this year. He just transferred here last year. However, due to his weak body, he has been a high school student for a year. The ghost student...

——It is said that it does not seem to be a human being.

In other words, among the many people in the current Moriya Shrine, only Yukinoshita himself is the real human being, and the others cannot be regarded as human beings...

She never thought that such a day would come when something ridiculous would happen. Even now, the girl's heart is still filled with an extremely strong and extremely unreal sense of trance.

But it would be too pale to deny it. Her mind was now filled with the scene where the big monster named Yakumo Murasaki appeared and left, and it was being replayed repeatedly in her mind, vividly in her mind.

That black crack...

Those blood red eyes...

The girl always felt that just seeing it would make her whole body bad, and she might have nightmares at night. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to doubt the possibility of fraud, and she had already thought very hard, but she just couldn't think of how to cheat.

That is definitely not a cover-up for a magic show, and I have never heard of human technology being able to do such a thing. Even the controllable nuclear fusion technology lasts fifty years forever, like an unbreakable curse. As for space , Don’t have any delusions about wormholes or anything like that, okay?

Xia Ran glanced at the frowning and troubled girl next to her, knowing that although the other party accepted this fact, it was only a last resort choice, which did not mean that she had naturally adjusted her world view.

This matter does take time, and he doesn't have any good solution for the time being... huh? Maybe there actually is?

He leaned slightly and pulled the girl's arm. When Yukinoshita looked over strangely, he carefully looked at her eyes and expression. He did not find any obvious sign of rejection and fear, but only simple distress and expression. Tangled.

I don’t know if it’s because this incident had a huge impact on her, but relatively speaking, this unfolding was actually peaceful enough.

There was no danger or threat, there was no danger, the gods were not overbearing and overbearing, and the big monsters did not suddenly attack with ferocious looks...

Although they all had venomous eyes and saw the problems or value in Xia Ran, they did not have any intention of taking advantage of him. Even when they were invited in, they only adopted a consultative attitude and measures——

In detail, based on the conversation between Suwako and the monster girl just now, she explained some of the difficulties they faced, and also bluntly stated that they saw some possibility in Xia Ran.

After briefly explaining the whole thing, the two gods left here. Only Dongfeng Gu Sanae stayed to entertain the two guests. It was said that there were some important things that needed to be dealt with, but it looked like they had set aside time specifically for the parties involved. consider properly.

He probably didn't want both of them to stay, so Xia Ran had to give a definite answer. That would seem a bit aggressive, and it felt like there was no room for rejection...

So even though Xia Ran, the person involved, was also worried and always felt that he had been seen through, there was really no too intense conflict... In a sense, this really unfolded quite peacefully.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Yukinoshita was indeed not too frightened, nor did he leave any psychological shadow. It was purely that the world view and cognition of the world formed in the past were strongly impacted, and obvious cracks appeared. In need of remodeling and repair…

Other aspects were just like that. At least her first impression of the concept of "inhumans" was not particularly bad or bad. On the contrary, it might be quite positive——

Probably because gods, monsters, etc. seem to be easy to talk to.

Well, this is a fatal illusion, but there is no need to correct it at this time. At least it can make her not so repulsive.

The only thing that makes Yukinoshita feel entangled and distressed now is probably the recognition of the fact that she is "not a human being", which triggers her instinctive fear. This is a psychological problem that needs to be channeled and adjusted.

"Yukishita-san, if you are really distressed, I can actually provide you with a little help..." Xia Ran hesitated for a moment, but still lowered his voice and said to the strange girl.

"What help?"

The girl with long black hair and straight hair frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that she had a bad premonition, but she still asked cooperatively.

"Well, let's put it this way, if you really can't accept what happened today, then I can make you forget what happened today, as long as you block the second half of the memory..."

"Don't even think about it! What do you want to do with my memory?!" Yukinoshita finally became alert. She put her hands on her chest, subconsciously leaned back, and looked at the person in front of her with a very natural expression. A guy who made alarmist remarks.

Forget what happened today...

Block people's memories...

This almost sci-fi statement was made as simple as eating and drinking. It was at this moment that she had a slight sense of reality that the guy in front of her was also inhuman.

Can you even do such a thing? Or should I say, how many times has he done this?

His eyes swept across the girl's cliff-like chest. Xia Ran withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, and twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Don't make it so weird. I don't want to do anything weird to your memory. If you really have an idea, you don't have to wait until today. As I said, I just saw you in such distress, so I just wanted to help you... …”

"Then I really want to thank you..."

Yukinoshita immediately stared at him with a suspicious look. She was not relieved at all by this statement. She seemed to be really thinking seriously about whether her memory had been tampered with a long time ago——

"But this kind of help should be avoided. What's the difference between this and hiding something? Doesn't it mean that it doesn't exist if I don't see it?"

"Ha, look at what you said... You didn't know it existed before today. It didn't exist for you and had no impact. Or rather, it came into being just because you knew about it. Influence."

Xia Ran smiled brightly and didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"This is not the same thing at all..." Yukinoshita bit her lower lip gently, not knowing what to say. It seemed that what this guy said made sense, but she always felt that it was not the case.

"It's just a suggestion. In my personal opinion, don't accept things you can't accept. Don't force yourself... It was like this before and it will be like this in the future." Xia Ran smiled at her heartily, not believing what she said at all. What is the problem.

"Okay, let's talk about this kind of thing later..." Yukinoshita exhaled slightly, "It's about what you plan to do. I'm not very able to understand these things, but I can still understand the basic situation. Those two gods ...is going to disappear?”

"Yeah..." Glancing at the patient blue and white witch opposite, who showed no signs of impatience, Xia Ran sighed, "If you lose faith, you will lose your strength, and your divine virtue will not increase. Such a god is equal to death. "

"But I can't see any... well, I mean signs of being unhealthy in them." Yukinoshita put down the cup and gently rubbed the center of her brows with a headache on her face. "I always feel that I can give up my common sense." Lost."

"Don't give up so easily, it's just not applicable at these times..." Xia Ran shook her head, "They just rely on the remaining faith to maintain their strength and existence. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but this is just sitting. Shi Shankong, if you continue like this, they will soon become weak without replenishment until they disappear."

"How fast is soon?" Yukinoshita suddenly thought of a question.

"It's probably about a hundred years at most. It won't last long anyway..." Xia Ran made an estimate and gave a more accurate estimated time.

"..."

"..."

Yukinoshita suddenly felt that at this time, it would be better to give up on her common sense.
