Sanae at the moment, restless.

She quickly sorted out Mr. Kenya's interpersonal relationships in her mind, and began to make a gesture on the ground.

He has a good relationship with Marisa in the Forest of Magic, but his personality dictates that the two can't get together. At least Sanae can't imagine in her mind the image of Marisa's godson.

Alice may be more like a bosom sister to Kenya, and according to Kenya, after he was employed, Alice never came to see him again. It doesn't look like they're going to get there.

Due to some special reasons, most people still don't know about the duel that happened in the White Jade Tower and the Westward Demon a few days ago.

Sanae also didn't know about the grudge between Kenya and Yongrin, so she didn't consider this possibility at first.

…… Miss Reimu is even more impossible.

…… Then finally.

She puffed out her lips and thought of the last two possibilities.

Needless to say, one of them is naturally Jianya's top boss and food and clothing parents - Kamibai Ze Huiyin.

This woman is virtuous and dignified. No matter in terms of morality and knowledge, he can't jump out of the fault.,Mature thinking but not too rigid.,Able to communicate with the patriarch of the big family in the people with ease.。

The cuisine seems to be unique as well.

In Sanae's opinion, among all the characters Kenya knows, the best and most affectionate to him is probably this Huiyin teacher.

Although it is somewhat related to Kenya's employment on her side, objectively speaking, the personalities of these two people are indeed very ...... to a certain extent Complementation.

Jian Zai is a person who has an upright, reckless, upright, and tenacious evaluation among many people.

Teacher Huiyin is wise and virtuous.

If the two really come together...... It seems to be a good match.

For the world, it may be another fortunate thing.

Judging from the incident in Youkai Mountain, Kenya didn't have any thoughts about Huiyin.

What's more, he is deliberately avoiding this possibility.

Although I didn't understand Mr. Kenya's approach, I could only respect his thoughts and put aside the possibility of him and Huiyin-sensei for the time being.

Well, finally......

She fidgeted and glanced at Kenya, only to find that Kenya had also skimmed in her direction and smiled at her.

Sanae suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little fast, so she lowered her head, not realizing that the dog walking next to her was also doing exactly the same action.

Yasaka Kanako admired the girlish feelings of the younger generation with relish, and at the same time did not forget to continue to fulfill his professional obligations as a god, saying something that he didn't flicker the sword.

On the contrary, Jian Ya listened very attentively, and he didn't think crooked from beginning to end, Sanae's bowing movement, he just thought that the girl was thin-skinned, and he was naturally more shy about love, love, or something.

…… But this kind of topic, even if it's Kenya, won't be stupid enough to let Kanako-sama continue to play on the topic like this.

Halfway through, he found that some of the subjects described by Kanako flew towards Sanae's image.

Or simply to tease Sanae.

Considering the absurdity of the first time he came to the hot springs at Moriya Shrine, Kenya began to worry about whether Sanae-sama would smoke like this again, and then blushed and fell asleep.

So he found a topic and bypassed the matter.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Suwako-sama today. 」

"Ah...... Her words, go check the leylines of Youkai Mountain. 」

「…… The ...... of Feng Shui?"

Kanako flicked away Kurama Tengu and made a few extra pieces when he wasn't paying attention, gesturing in the air.

"Living beings have lifeblood, and the land has similar leylines. The leylines mentioned in Feng Shui are just a thing that makes it easy for people to observe the miasma of natural disasters...... But what Suwako is going to do now is actually not much like you think. She's just clearing the miasma. 」

"Does miasma have anything to do with demonic energy?"

When it comes to Monster Mountain, the first reaction is a monster. There are many mountains in Gensokyo, and there is no such thing as a mountain that is inhabited by hordes of youkai. The villagers in the people will call it Monster Mountain.

Today, with the exception of the hills where Hakurei Shrine and Moriya Shrine are located, all other mountains are occupied by tengu and kappa.

There will be problems with the mountains inhabited by such a large number of youkai clans...... It seems to make sense.

But Jianzai's cognition is one-sided after all.

Kanako made an analogy very sharply, so that Kenya understood the meaning.

"The work that Suwako does now is like that of a sewer worker who unclogs a sewer. Miasma is the garbage that accumulates over time in the mountains. This garbage blocked the breathing circulation of the mountains, so that the aura could not be produced normally. 」

"I get it...... But Kanako-sama, how does this sound like a sarcasm of Suwako-sama?"

"You're overthinking. 」

Kanako shook her hand, and she didn't admit the fact that she had hacked Suwako again.

"Her ability is more suitable for this kind of thing, and besides, this is the deal we negotiated with the Heavenly Demon in the first place. Miasma is also a tonic for the land god to a certain extent, and even if no one informs her, she will take the initiative to do it. 」

"Exactly. 」

Kurama Tengu suddenly interjected.

"For us tengus, there is not much difference between miasma and aura. But for the weak youkai, the miasma is fiercely poisonous. 」

「…… Isn't miasma a deteriorating aura?"

"If you are serious, there will be a lot of differences, and after absorbing the miasma, the cultivation of weak youkai will soar a lot. But it won't be long before it loses its mind, leaving only the instinct to kill and absorb, and then explodes and dies out of greed. 」

"It's the same with people. 」

The last sentence is Kanako's addition.

Hearing these words, Kenya thought of the cave where Marisa had searched for potions.

At that time, I was haunted by things like looking for memories of my life experience, and I didn't think about it. But now that I think about it carefully, the expressions of those monsters are indeed very different from the ones I saw on the monster mountain.

Brutal, irrational, even disregarding their own life and death, only knowing killing.

So, it's somehow related to miasma, right?

"Hmm...... Hearing you say that, the Forest of Magic has a bit of a problem, too. 」

Kanako frowned, thinking about this information from Kenya.

The Forest of Magic is one of Gensokyo's most vibrant places, and it serves as much as the heart of the land.

If such an important place is generated, it is enough to affect the miasma of the youkai......

…… I thought it was just the sarcasm of the Heavenly Devil, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.

「…… After that, I'll let Suwako go...... No, I'll go and see it myself during the spring festival. 」

"At that time, if there was anything I could do to help, I was willing to risk my life to help. 」

"It's really bad to risk your life, isn't it? At that time, the girls(s) in a corner will start crying, right?"

"Kanako-sama!!" X2

It didn't take long for Sanae, who was a blushing mess, to hit Kanako's shoulder hard, and Kenya had an unconscious stunned expression,

That's for later.

……

……

At sunset.

Kurama Tengu and Kanako Yasaka stand under the torii gate, watching Kenya leave.

Along with Kenya are the signature shrine maidens of Moriya Shrine and the younger generation of tengus.

The teenagers and girls talked and laughed all the way, so it was not lively.

However, Kurama Tengu's expression was very serious, and he couldn't laugh at all.

"Why hide the truth?"

At this moment, there are only two people in front of the mountain gate of Shouya Shrine. There are still three or four hours before Suwako's return, and the object of Kurama Tengu's questioning is, of course, Kanako Yasaka.

Yasaka Kanako held the wine glass, tasted the rice wine that Kenya paid tribute, and raised her eyebrows.

"What is hidden?"

Kurama tengu rage.

"Why don't you tell His Highness Kenya the true meaning of that stick!?"

"What if you tell me. 」

Kanako raised her head and looked at the clouds and mist on the mountainside of Mt. Yokai, and there seemed to be a ...... in her eyes Disdain.

"Let me tell him that you've been targeted by some of Gensokyo's biggest monsters? Let me tell him that you're too dead, and there's going to be a catastrophe in the near future?"

「…… But...... But at least something can be saved. 」

"He's not Genyijing. 」

Kanako took a sip of the wine, and the faint sweet smell of rice wine spread in her mouth.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Since he was favored by that spirit sword, he naturally had something peculiar. 」

"Have you forgotten that the previous owner of this spirit sword is already dead and can't die anymore?"

Whirring, a wind blew.

The leaves rustle on the mountainside that hangs.

Kanako was silent.

She knew in her heart that she was afraid that this young man, whom she had always favored and liked, was really going to the Hades Palace this time.

Gensokyo's seemingly calm and tranquil environment always hides a touch of darkness that will never disappear.

This darkness has gradually formed an undercurrent, and the direction of the undercurrent is naturally the world.

And Jian Ya, as the hottest character in the world, will naturally stand on the front and face great danger.

The reason why she didn't tell Jian Ya to go up and down is also the reason why it means to be in a desperate situation. Also out of concern.

But maybe it has something to do with the fact that he is the owner of the Budu Imperial Soul Sword, and the cause and effect of this person is difficult for Kanako to see through even as a god.

She knew very well in her heart that the more favoritism was revealed, the less likely it was that the final scene would be under her control.

But her self-esteem as Kenya's mentor and friend made her unable to sit idly by and ignore Kenya's death.

The crisis that Kenya is facing this time is really serious.

It's so serious that even if it's just a branch that allows her to exert some of her divine powers, it can deter some of the Xiaoxiao on the surface, and give Jian Ya a little more chance of being rescued in this catastrophe.

The purpose of this spring festival is to temporarily use the altar of the magic weapon [wooden stick], the believer [villager], the mountain gate [stone statue] in the human world.

Everything is just to protect Kenya and avoid this crisis.

Kurama Tengu clasped his hands together and bowed. Knowing that the other party had done his best at this time, he couldn't blame anything.

Because the opponent that Kenya faced this time was really unprecedentedly powerful and invincible.

Even more invincible than the Eight Intentions Sword Ya.

To challenge her is to challenge the entire Gensokyo.

And how can a human being bear the darkness of the entire Gensukyo?

Kurama Tengu was silent, angry at odds with his magnificent body, and turned away from Kanako Yasaka, who was already holding the wine glass.

In this Gensokyo township, there are many people who can't sit back and watch the rise of the sword, and they can't sit back and watch the second eight-meaning sword appear.

There are a lot of 'people' who don't want Kenya to live.

How should Kenya face it?

He walked over to the holder and picked up the wooden stick that was placed next to the holder.

Ganna Jia, Kunna B, A B are wood, Gen Na C, Dui Na Ding, and C Ding are fire.

'Dui' and 'kun' represent 'fire' and 'wood' respectively in the five elements.

"Fire" and "wood" represent "red" and "green" among the five colors, and the mixture of the two colors is purple.

Purple.

It's Yakumo Murasaki.

PS: It seems that most of the Oriental fandom inevitably involves the aunt conspiracy theory, and I can't help but have a good time.

This volume was meant to be a little darker.

PS2: The story of the Eight Meanings Sword is somewhat related to the source of the Yoshitsune. The character prototype is this, plus the god of thunder.

PS3: Kenya will go a different way. Will say later.

PS4: The gossip pattern on the robe worn by Yakumo Zi in the dream is the gossip pattern on the robe worn by Yakumo Zi in the dream, I don't have nonsense, this is indeed a very orthodox way of interpretation.

PS5: The plot begins, I want a book review [reach out]
