The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"I didn't expect to see each other again so soon. Maybe we are actually destined to be together. After all, we met in hibernation, Takeya."

"hehe."

Yakumo Murasaki is tentatively considered to be the mastermind of Remilia's hidden incident. No, there is no need to tentatively assume that she is right.

Taking advantage of the gap between Reimu and Yuyuko's battle outside, Takeya sneaked in with Sakuya quietly. With the help of Sakuya's time ability, it was easy for them to deceive others.

After passing through the huge garden, they easily saw Yakumo Zi herself. She didn't seem to even have the idea of ​​hiding, and she just appeared in front of them in such a grandiose manner.

Also lazily eating senbei.

".never mind."

Wu also knew that if he complained about this seriously, he would lose.

"By the way, Zi, there must be a spectrum for lying, right? Hibernation? Is there such a thing as hibernation in summer? Also, don't you just stand here right now?"

"No, we're not here."

Chewing the senbei, Yakumo Purple said vaguely:

"Takeru is from the outside world, isn't he? Then he should know about projection technology."

"hehe."

The corners of Wu Ye's eyes twitched slightly.

"So, are you in a holographic projection state now?"

"It's not such an ancient thing. Isomorphic projection is a technology obtained from the moon. Isn't it amazing?"

Saying that, Zi picked up another piece of senbei on the table, and the arrogant chewing sound constantly challenged Takeya's tolerance limit.

"Well, Miss Zi in the projection, although I also want to celebrate our 'reunion after a long separation', but there are more important things now, right?"

"Long separation? Aren't we going to meet soon?"

Obviously, a monster from a certain realm deliberately missed the rhythm.

With an expressionless chuckle, Wu Ye echoed:

"Ah, actually I don't think it's very soon. It's been almost a month."

"Really? To a monster, a month is actually 'very fast'."

"Okay. But I won't be happy even if you say that."

"Hmm~ Why?"

"Because Zi, you are a monster, and I am a human."

"Really? It seems to be the case, so Wuya wants to see us for something, right?"

After going around in a big circle, Zi finally felt like she wanted to talk about business.

"A very important thing happened just today. Have you forgotten it?"

"Today? Uhhh!"

With a slap in the palm of his hand, Zi tilted his head and said:

"To celebrate our long-lost reunion with Takeya?"

"Who said it was fast just now?"

Finally unable to bear it, Wu Ye decisively overturned the coffee table of his soul, throwing his reserve and calmness thousands of miles away.

"I'm talking about Remilia!"

He slapped the small table in front of him, as if this would bring Zi's hibernating head back to reality.

"It bothers me that you dropped that troublesome vampire into my house without permission!"

But Wu didn't expect that his teammates on the other side would suddenly "rebellion" despite the fact that he had launched an army to investigate and investigate.

"Hey, human! Show some respect to the eldest lady!"

The backhand was a small knife pressed against Takeya's throat. There was no joke in Sakuya's eyes.

"."

Takeya was really about to cry at this moment. Others outside kept giving him trouble, and his own teammates rebelled against him. Can he still play the game happily?

"Okay, okay, let's stop here for joking."

Holding her chin, Zi put away her teasing eyes and looked at the two of them calmly.

"Since you were able to come here so easily, Takeya, let us guess, Reimu definitely helped, right?"

"Don't witches exist to deal with mutations?"

Takeya's expression was extremely calm, and he had no consciousness of encouraging the Gensokyo Urban Management Bureau to abuse their power.

"Haha, since Takeru has said it to this extent, let me listen to your thoughts."

Zi Wei smiled.

"What do you want us to do?"

"It's very simple. Take, well, bring Remilia back to Gensokyo from the outside world. Only you, as a realm monster, can do this."

"indeed so."

Zi nodded, she did not deny this, but——

"However, it seems that we cannot respond to your request now, Takeya."

"ha?"

Wu Ye was startled. He didn't understand Zi's meaning for a while.

"That vampire's current situation is also a surprise to me."

The realm monster who forced himself to distance himself from the relationship slowly explained:

"Originally, according to my plan, she should have returned to Gensokyo as soon as she came into contact with Gangnir."

".Can't understand."

Zi picked out one of the extra teacups on the table and placed it in front of Takeya, then filled it with the teapot at hand.

"It turns out that even if Remilia, as a 'resident of Gensokyo', left Gensokyo for a short period of time, she still exists inside Gensokyo, but the 'channel' we opened failed to transfer her back in the first place. , this can happen for only one reason.”

As he spoke, Zi gently touched the teacup in front of Wuye with his hand, and the slightly green tea was immediately dyed with a vague and chaotic color.

"That is, before the vampire went from Gensokyo to the outside world, retrieved her weapon, and then returned from the outside world, she touched something in the outside world."

"Something?"

"It's impossible for us to know the specifics. Maybe it's something, maybe it's someone."

"."

Speaking of this, Sakuya looked at Takeya with an increasingly unkind look, but Zi suddenly winked at Takeya playfully, making him look confused.

"Hey, hey, wait, what do you think of your reaction that I am the murderer? I didn't do anything. It was obviously the guy who came out without permission and then looked like he was about to die!"

"We never said that it must be related to Takeya."

Zi's ​​face is full of playful smiles, but there is no smile in those wise eyes:

"However, this is the only thing we can say with certainty. Remilia Scarlet definitely had 'contact' with things from the outside world before returning to Gensokyo."

"."

Murasaki's words were not an answer, but they told Takeya one thing clearly, that is, not even the realm monster can bring Remilia back now, at least not for the time being.

With a smile on his mouth, Wu Ye, who was an mmp in his heart, could only continue to ask for details while repeating to Sakuya——

I'm not! I don't!

Wu Ye had a good taste of the indescribable taste, and now he is really wronged.

Nima, I'm just an ordinary passerby, why do you blame me for everything!

Contrary to the time in Gensokyo, the outside world at this moment is the dead of night, when everyone is sleeping and resting, but in a certain boy's house, there is a person who can't sleep, oh no, it's a monster who can't sleep.

Remilia Scarlet.

Although the vampire lord who really exists here has lost her demon power, this does not hinder her own living habits, or preferences.

Not talking about childish plots such as falling in love in bed, Remilia, as a vampire, is more energetic at night than during the day. She was walking around because she was bored, but unexpectedly she felt something from the human room named Kosaka Takeya. There is a special atmosphere.

Pushing the door open, she saw a scene that shocked her. She saw the young man lying on the bed who should have been in a dream for a long time, but now he seemed to be awake, with a strange red aura wrapped around his body.

No, it was not the boy himself who was awake, but the unexpected demonic power in him. Just like the moon waxing and waning, that demonic power seemed to be moving toward fullness.

"Impossible, this guy's monster power is actually there, recovering...?!"
