Collapse of the Three Flame Laws, start the game to challenge the eternal burning of the fire

Darkness attacks from the bottom of my heart, and the memories outside the space are taken away bit by bit, and will only return when I come out.

The sound of rushing water flows gently to my ears, and my face feels warm, caressed by the sunlight.

Yundeng opened his tired eyes, and the first thing he saw was the cherry-haired priestess with a worried look on her face.

The clear and clean eyes seemed to have never been infected by darkness, and were as pure as a baby's.

She was wearing a pure white dress with a shimenawa rope and an Inari mask tied around her waist.

She is a slightly immature girl of fifteen or sixteen, but her temperament is somewhat contradictory and mature.

Yundeng didn't know who she was, she only knew her name and identity.

——Traveler.

Feeling the warm floor on her back, Yundeng found that she was in a neat little room.

There was no extra furniture around, only a black pot bubbling.

There was an unpleasant bitter smell in the air, causing Yun Deng's dry thin lips to open slightly.

"you're awake?"

The witch in front of him said gently and placed a straw pillow behind Yundeng's head.

"The medicine made from Yu Baicao is almost ready. You and Lin should each drink half, three times a day. Your body has not yet recovered, so you need to rest."

"By the way, you are a traveler who accidentally came in from the outside world, right?"

"Excuse me, but what is your name?"

The medicine...is for yourself to drink?

Yundeng frowned when she heard this. She didn't want to drink anything bitter.

Looking up, she saw the Sakura-colored Miko looking at her with concern, seemingly very worried about Yun Deng's health.

"Yun Deng, is it... someone outside?"

Yundeng said his name, but when he talked about his origins, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Because she couldn't remember either, it seemed like it was from the outside world, but those memories were blurry and once she thought about it carefully, her head would ache unnaturally.

Why did I end up here? Who am I?

She didn't know, but it didn't seem very important.

"Your head may be injured, so you should rest more."

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yaezakura, and I'm the shrine maiden of Yaezakura Shrine. When I went to the river today, I saw you fainted by the river, so I took the initiative to bring you back to the shrine."

Yaezakura stretched out her hand and smoothed a strand of hair from Yundeng's forehead behind her ear.

The warm hand touched the tip of the ear, causing the lost traveler to shiver and his ears to turn slightly red.

"You look a lot like Rin, except for the hair color."

Seeing this, Yaezakura smiled slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"cold......"

Yundeng didn't know who that was until a weak, childish voice sounded not far away.

"Sister, I have finished the medicine."

Following the source of the voice, she saw a little girl who looked 90% like Yaesakura.

She looked about six or seven years old, with the same light pink cherry hair and innocent blue eyes.

However, the little girl was pale and looked very weak, the kind that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

At this time, she was lying on the small bed. When she noticed Yundeng's gaze, she smiled slightly.

But a smile made her lose her strength, and the next second, she started coughing violently.

"Cough cough!"

When she heard her sister Yae Rin cough, Yae Sakura's gentle expression just now disappeared, and was replaced by an indelible worry and heartache.

"Rin, take a rest for a while. When you fall asleep, your body won't hurt anymore."

"Sister, I've already slept for a day and I don't want to sleep any more," the little girl named Lin shook her head gently, "If I sleep any longer, I won't be able to see the cherry blossoms next year."

"Rin, don't say that." Yaezakura whispered.

"I know, sister. I just want to spend more time with you when I'm awake. In case - well, I won't say anything more."

Lin stopped talking halfway, then exerted a little force and turned his head to look at Yundeng who was sitting on the ground.

"You are a traveler from the outside world, right? I hope you can spend more time with your sister when I fall asleep. She is so lonely."

"Rin, don't cause trouble for the guests."

"I see."

As Yaezakura spoke, Yundeng nodded and agreed to Rin's little request.

"Okay, take the medicine first."

Yaezakura brought a bowl of thick dark green liquid, and a bitter taste permeated the bowl.

Yundeng was a little scared, but still took the medicine made from Imperial Herbs under Lin's curious expression.

As soon as he took a sip, the extremely bitter taste penetrated his nose, making Yun Deng's cheeks puff up and unable to swallow.

Finally, with Lin's encouraging eyes, she finished the bowl of medicine with difficulty.

"There's more tonight. Good medicine tastes bitter. Yundeng, you're weak and need to drink more."

Yaezakura put away the bowl and gently persuaded.

"...I don't want to drink it anymore. It's too bitter."

Yundeng stuck out his tongue, and the bitterness lingered on the tip of his tongue for a long time.

"Big sister, I drink this medicine every day. Girls need to be strong."

A smiling contralto voice spoke beside the bed, and Yundeng walked over unconsciously.

"What happened to your sister?"

Looking at Lin, whose face was as pale as paper, Yundeng asked.

"I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I don't know why."

Yaezakura shook her head and sighed helplessly.

"Then why don't you go for a checkup outside? Maybe a doctor outside can diagnose the condition."

When she heard her question, Yaezakura hesitated: "We have never been out to the outside world, and there are no roads in the village."

"Is that the reason?"

Yundeng was surprised. Just because it was a road that had never been walked before, was it possible not to walk on it?

As they were talking, Lin interrupted them with a sigh: "Big sister, what is the outside world like? If possible, I also want to go to the outside world with you to take a look."

Yun Deng was silent, trying to recall his memories in his mind, but found nothing.

She also didn't know what the outside world was like.

However, seeing Lin's innocent and curious eyes, Yun Deng was reluctant to destroy her hope, so after a moment of silence, he said: "In the outside world, there is a very blue sea, and there are many trees on the edge of the sea. The cherry trees in the outside world are full of beautiful cherry blossoms."

"The cherry blossoms are connected in patches. In some places, there are cherry blossoms for a hundred miles. Every spring, a sea of ​​cherry blossoms is formed. The scent of the sea of ​​flowers is so intoxicating that people squint their eyes as soon as they smell it, as if they were in a pink dream."

"Really? Are there really a lot of cherry blossoms in the outside world?"

After hearing her words, Lin's azure eyes suddenly lit up, as if a glimmer of light appeared.

That is the light of hope. I want to go see the cherry blossoms with my sister.

Yundeng nodded without any hesitation.

After resting for a while, the temperature of the medicine penetrated into her body, and she felt much better. Inside the shrine room, you can see the scenery outside from the small window at the head of Rin's bed.

The sun, filled with soft rays, shines on a withered cherry tree, adding a touch of beautiful color to its branches, as if it were blooming.

But that is impossible, there are no cherry blossoms.

The flowering season has long passed. If you want to see the cherry blossoms again, you may have to go through the cold winter and wait for the cycle of the four seasons before you have that chance.

After a while, Lin suddenly looked down and found that the mysterious older sister was winking at her, looking like a weasel that had stolen a chick.

After a while, Rin felt a movement under the quilt, and then a warm hand, bypassing Yaesakura's sight, held her palm.

Rin's eyes widened slightly, surprised and confused at the same time.

What is this big sister going to do?

She only felt an itch in the palm of her hand, and then a hard object was put into her palm by her elder sister.

After doing all this, Yundeng secretly took out his hand again, and the whole action took no more than half a minute.

While Yaezakura was sorting her clothes, she stuffed a candy into Rin's hand.

The candy was found by Yundeng when he was searching for clothes just now, and it might have been obtained from the outside world.

Yundeng guessed that she must also like to eat candy.

"......Eh?"

Yae Rin took out the sugar-coated candy from the small quilt with a confused expression on her face.

She had never seen such a strange thing before, but she could smell a faint sweetness. What was it?

"Shh~ This is our little secret," Yundeng leaned over and whispered in Lin's ear while Yaezakura was pouring tea, "Because those medicines are very bitter~ I don't like them very much, so I gave you this candy, but I searched my whole body and this is the only one I could find. Consider it a gift for our first meeting."

"Um~ I, I understand."

Lin said weakly, a faint smile appeared on his pale face, and he looked very happy.

Because it was the first time I received a gift from a friend, my palms were sweating a lot and I was a little nervous.

To be precise, Yundeng was the first person she had met other than her sister and father.

If you receive a gift, do you need to exchange it?

But she had nothing.

Thinking of this, Lin felt a little worried, and even his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned.

But suddenly, she felt her brows getting hot and she smelled a fragrant breeze, like the scent of flowers. She saw Yun Deng leaning over, reaching out his hand to touch her cheek, and smoothing away all the wrinkles on her brows.

"Okay, kid, stop frowning. It doesn't look good."

“Eh, wow?!!!”

Jun Kane could see that Lin had never been so close to anyone before, let alone a girl like Yun Deng.

She couldn't help but scream softly, a suspicious blush appeared on her face, and her white jade-like cheeks were filled with a hint of red.

It was not until Yae Sakura came back and found her sister pretending to be dead under the quilt that Yun Deng slowly got up and left Rin's bed.

"Rin, what's going on?"

Yaezakura was puzzled.

"Maybe it's because I'm shy when I see strangers. I was like this when I was a child." Yun Deng rubbed his nose.

"Is that so? I'm really sorry, but this child has never seen a stranger since he was a child."

Yaezakura apologized.

The two began chatting again.

We talked about the world outside the village and future ideals.

......

at the same time.

Just as the two were chatting animatedly.

The people outside the space had strange expressions on their faces.

Kiana's expression was silent, and Mei didn't want to talk either.

Bronya sat on the Heavy Armored Bunny, wiping the giant cannon gently with an expressionless face.
