Chapter 260

Fortunately, after serving Yakumo Yukari for a thousand years, Yakumo Lan was familiar with these things. She quickly brewed tea and made snacks and pastries by herself.

These snacks and pastries were originally prepared for Yakumo Yukari, but now they were just for the guests.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting!"

Yakumo Lan knelt on the floor. She knocked on the door gently, and then opened the sliding door.

At this time, Yakumo Lan noticed that her master had finished washing and knelt opposite the demon.

She picked up the tray lightly, and her jade feet in white tabi made no sound, and brought the plate to Xixiang and Yakumo Yukari.

At this time, Xixiang did not look at Yakumo Lan, but stared at the monster sage kneeling in front of him.

Yakumo Yukari, who had just finished washing, was like a lotus out of water, elegant and clear.

The four eyes accidentally looked at each other, and the purple and white face flushed slightly, as if she was shy and embarrassed.

The girl was so innocent and naive, I felt sorry for her.

Chapter 2: The Weak and Poor Monster Sage

Although Yakumo Yukari looked charming and innocent, she looked like a pure girl in her twenties.

However, Saigo knew that this monster had lived for thousands of years. According to human terms, she was a pure old witch.

She was so old, but she had to pretend to be young!

Saigo thought to himself.

But Yakumo Yukari didn't know what Saigo was thinking.

Yakumo Yukari, who had just finished bathing, still had water stains on her slightly curly blonde hair. Her skin was white and rosy, and it was so soft that it could be blown away, emitting a faint warmth.

The torn clothes were changed and replaced with a dress similar to the previous dress.

It was still pure purple, just like Yakumo Yukari's name.

The only difference from before was that the hem of the new clothes was shorter this time, revealing a section of Yakumo Yukari's slender calves in white stockings.

At this time, Yakumo Yukari was kneeling opposite Saigo, taking off her exquisite high heels, revealing her delicate feet under the thin white stockings.

There were a few Japanese sweets on the table between the two of them, and the teacup contained simple and honest barley tea.

Yakumo Ao knelt beside Yakumo Yukari with her hands folded in front of her sleeves, and remained silent.

"We don't have any precious delicacies here, only these simple pastries and tea."

"... Please forgive me for neglecting Lord Zaratul."

Yakumo Yukari smiled sweetly, her red lips slightly parted, and said softly.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about these things. I can still notice that you are treating me wholeheartedly."

Xixiang smiled peacefully. He picked up a soft pastry with his fingers and put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he said: "... good skills."

Yakumo Yukari smiled softly and said: "... Lan's skills have always been good, and I always like it."

Yakumo Yukari narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Xixiang inconspicuously.

This demon is not luxurious and exaggerated. It seems that he is not a gluttonous and greedy person.

He will look at me and Lan a few times when facing me, especially when I make some charming movements, I will pay more attention.

From this, it can be seen that this demon has male instincts, desires for females, and his aesthetics are similar to normal humans. He is not a monster who likes weird things.

Yakumo Yukari herself is very clear about her own beauty and the beauty of Yakumo Lan Nine-tailed Fox.

It's not that Yakumo Yukari is boasting. She has a stunning appearance.

However, when this demon looked at her and Lan, there was more appreciation in his eyes than lust, which made Yakumo Yukari a little confused for a while.

In addition, this demon was quite arrogant, which Yakumo Yukari could understand better.

Rather than being arrogant, it was the calmness and confidence of a strong person. Even if it was Yakumo Yukari herself, when facing weak humans, she might make some jokes.

But it was also arrogant in nature.

This was the conclusion Yakumo Yukari came to after a brief contact with Xixiang.

This demon had desires, but could restrain desires. Is this really a demon? This kind of restraint is too strange.

But because of this, Xixiang also made Yakumo Yukari feel a little tricky because she couldn't find a breakthrough.

When the strength is strong enough, arrogance will not become a weakness.

Yakumo Yukari's mind was churning, and she talked and laughed with Xixiang while making vague remarks.

And Yakumo Yukari also got some news from Xixiang that she had guessed in the past.

For example, the demons that appeared in this world were indeed foreign objects.

It is no wonder that these demons suddenly appeared and occupied the whole world only in the last few decades.

If these demons are foreign, then it can be explained.

‘World…’

Yakumo Yukari murmured. Although Yakumo Yukari had speculated that there was a world outside the world in the past, and humans also had similar theories of parallel worlds.

But when she heard from Saigo that the world was vast and boundless, she was still shocked.

At the same time, Yakumo Yukari discovered a very important point, that is, compared with what this demon knew, she was no different from a frog in a well.

The gap between the two sides in knowledge was too big. Even though she had lived for thousands of years, the narrow living environment imprisoned her thinking.

When Yakumo Yukari was chatting happily with Saigo, she suddenly asked: "… Lord Zaratul, you once said that you could fulfill our wishes."

"… Then I wonder if you can tell me how to realize this wish?"

Her eyes were soft, her tone was coquettish, and there was an imperceptible shyness on her red cheeks.

Regardless of whether the devil believes in his 'innocence', he still has to act when it's time to act, just in case the other party believes it.

Saigo took a deep look at Yakumo Murasaki's charming face like a fairy goddess, then lowered his head and took a sip of the barley tea in the cup.

Yakumo Lan calmly moved his white knees forward and poured him another glass.

"Zi, you should have guessed that the easiest way to realize your wish and save this Gensokyo is to move the entire Gensokyo to a new world."

"...In the new world, there will be no possibility of mysterious decline like here. In the new world, everyone in Gensokyo will have a basis for existence."

Xixiang said slowly.

really……

Yakumo Purple sighed secretly. After knowing that there was a mountain beyond the mountain, Yakumo Purple also guessed Saigo's plan. It was not difficult to guess.

Yakumo's purple-white hands turned the cup in her hand and asked tentatively: "...Is there any other way besides this?"

···········Please ask for flowers··········

Leaving this world and going to an unknown new world, even Yakumo Murasaki would be worried and unable to make that decision.

"This is the simplest method, Zi, you should know."

Xixiang shook his head, "...the battle between the history of mythology and the history of mankind is about to begin, and it will affect the entire infinite universe."

"...Besides, even if I leave Gensokyo, which you are worried about, here, can you guarantee that Gensokyo will still be unimpeded in the years to come?"

There are some meanings in Saigo's words that Yakumo Murasaki doesn't quite understand, such as the so-called struggle between the history of myths and the history of mankind.

But there is one thing that Yakumo Zi knows, that is, Xixiang's words do not give her a choice either inside or outside.

Yakumo Murasaki herself has no right to choose.

Regardless of whether this devil is really willing to fulfill his wish, it seems that there is no other way but to follow his advice and take Gensokyo out of this world.

......... .... 0

"So, Lord Zaratul, what does the new world you are talking about look like?"

Yakumo Purple's jade hands hidden in her sleeves were clasped tightly, and an unprecedented sense of tension stimulated her.

"It is a world that can accommodate everything and has endless possibilities, but it is also dangerous enough."

Xixiang didn't hide anything.

The Little Garden is such a world. Countless gifts allow the people in the Little Garden to have knowledge and upper limits that far exceed those of people in other worlds.

But at the same time, the dangers there are not too great.

"Oh, Zi, why are you hesitating again now?"

"... Just like opening that invitation letter, you have not been prepared to fail long ago, because you were desperate, so you opened that invitation letter and took a gamble."

"It's the same now. All you can do is take a gamble again and trust me once more."

"...If you don't do anything, Gensokyo will surely perish, but if you do, Gensokyo will have a glimmer of hope."

Xixiang smiled happily.

Zi showed a bitter smile and said pitifully: "...If it's just our own safety, we won't care."

"...But when it comes to Gensokyo, we know that this is the most correct choice, but we find it hard to make up our mind, and we shamelessly look forward to a better way."

Saigo held the tea cup in his hand, looked at the tea in it and said: "...You care too much about Gensokyo, which exposes all your weaknesses."

The monster sage was weak and pitiful, and said timidly: "...We don't mind exposing our weaknesses in front of His Excellency Zaratul."

Xixiang smiled and said nothing, and just said: "...If that's the case, why don't you take me to see this Gensokyo and see how much you care about this lifelong effort?"

Chapter 3 Old Lady Zi, is this your lover?

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

It's sunny and sunny in Fantasyland.

Saigo and Yakumo Murasaki were walking on the path in the mountains.

The trees overhead were leafy, and the sun shone down from the treetops, leaving mottled shadows on the earth.

The warm sun at noon cast a long shadow on Saigo and Yakumo Murasaki, and occasionally animals such as small squirrels were seen looking at them curiously from the branches.

This is the easternmost part of Gensokyo. After Saigo said he wanted to see Gensokyo, Yakumo Murasaki opened the gap and took him here.

The monster sage would not dare to put such a terrifying demon into Gensokyo at will, but she could not refuse Saigo's proposal.

Therefore, Yakumo Murasaki had no choice but to take the initiative to accompany Saigo and enjoy the scenery and culture of Gensokyo together.

The air in Gensokyo is cool and full of natural fragrance, and there is no pollution from the outside world at all.

Yakumo Purple's lace-gloved hands held a parasol to block the sun.

She turned the handle of the parasol with her five fingers and said with a smile on her face: "...Back then we met a witch with powerful spiritual power."

"...Miko is different from ordinary people. She has no hatred towards monsters, but many monsters are cannibals."

"Even a miko who doesn't hate monsters will seal or kill these man-eating monsters."

"...That era was when Western civilization was invading the East, and mystery had begun to decline rapidly."

"I told the shrine maiden about my idea of ​​building Gensokyo, and she agreed."

"...Mysterious disappearances, the decline of the great source, even the most talented shrine maiden will lose the ability to use spiritual power in that environment."

"The shrine maiden thinks my idea is very good. Not only can it confine those man-eating monsters in Gensokyo so that they will no longer harm people, but it can also leave the last piece of land with abundant spiritual power."

"...In the end, I worked together with the shrine maiden to build a large barrier and shape Gensokyo."

Yakumo Yukari walked beside Saigo, her beautiful eyes looking at this beautiful land, like a mother looking at her child lovingly.

She and Saigo walked slowly forward while telling the not-so-long history of Gensokyo.

"When Gensokyo was first established, it was very chaotic, and even full of killings. That was intentional, just to eliminate those restless monsters."

"...Finally, the restless monsters were almost eliminated, and only then did Gensokyo have peace today."

"Monsters need human fear to exist, and Gensokyo naturally needs humans."

"...But with the increase of monsters entering Gensokyo, the number of humans is sometimes not enough, so we have to hide some people to fill the number of humans in Gensokyo."

"The entrance and exit of the big barrier is at the shrine not far ahead. The first thing to go to when you come to Gensokyo is naturally the shrine."

Yakumo Yukari was like a conscientious tour guide, introducing the geographical environment and historical structure of Gensokyo to Saigo.
