Chapter Forty-Seven: The Clue Sale
"Purple-sama ......"
The nine-tailed demon fox brought breakfast to the master, looking at Yakumo Purple who skillfully used chopsticks to cut the sandwich, and there was a faint hint of desire between his eyebrows.
"Say it, Blue. If you dare to speak up, it proves that you have weighed it in your heart, and I will answer your question. ”
Yakumo put her elbows on the table and playfully raised her chopsticks and shook them.
"Yes, then I'll trespass. ”
Yakumo Lan hesitated for a moment, and then asked respectfully with the determination to be punished:
"Lord Zi, Wang Yu...... What exactly?"
At that moment, Yakumo Lan thought that he would be killed.
The blonde-haired sage slowly chewed on the unnecessary food in his mouth, his expression pleasant and light. It's just that those purple eyes revealed a certain malicious playful light, and the cold and sticky gaze like a snake licked over Yakumo's whole body, making the nine-tailed fox tremble and remain silent in some kind of fishy and majestic, reminiscent of the coercion of the rotten beast, waiting for judgment.
She began to regret asking this question a little, and she still underestimated the importance of Wang Yu to Lord Zi.
In detail, the importance of the Purple Master plan.
She naturally had the confidence that she would not be killed, after all, Lord Purple did not have a better and sharper tool than herself for the time being, and when she was still useful to her, she would not be threatened by her real life.
It's just that I have to endure some hardships.
Unexpectedly, the disgusting gaze and coercion receded together. Yakumo Zi swallowed the food in her mouth, and smiled in the tone of an elder, a master, or a lover: "Blue, come here." ”
The nine-tailed fox lowered its head, stepped forward in panic and awe, and possessed it, allowing Yakumo Purple to touch his head.
The monster sage put down his chopsticks, but the crisp and pleasant sound of the collision of bamboo chopsticks and bone china made Yakumo Lan tremble imperceptibly. The slender and white palm of the jade gently took off Yakumo Blue's strangely shaped hat, skillfully and gently smoothing the hair that exploded on the fox ears.
This familiar feeling also soothed Yakumo's trembling heart, and she vaguely remembered that in the distant past, when she had not yet possessed human form, Purple-sama...... The owner also stroked himself curled up in her arms like this, and played unscrupulously with a few other people, doing nothing.
It's just that the owner at that time smelled warm and sweet, like honey that gave off its aroma in the sun, not like now...... The sweetness is still there, but it's rotten.
But just with the warmth that Purple gave him at that time, Yakumo Blue was able to hand over everything he had to this increasingly broken monster sage, without regrets.
"Wang Yu is an indispensable part of my efforts to save the demon clan. The death spiral after a thousand years is certainly only one of the endless branches of the future, but I can't gamble with the demon race. ”
"Salvation always comes with sacrifice, doesn't it?"
"Not to mention the future that one eye sees...... Blue, let's make a game. Guess what is the probability that Gensokyo will be completely wiped out in the next 1,000 to 2,000 years?"
Yakumo reached out and pinched the tip of Yakumo's jaw and lifted her head. The youkai sage in that disguise smiled playfully, making Yakumo Blue almost lose himself in that smile.
"This ...... Today's Gensokyo is certainly a bit declining, but the internal biological chain cycle has been self-consistent, and Lord Zi, you have been seizing space and land from the present world, and the bottleneck period of the development of the demon clan has passed...... In this way, according to the least optimistic possibility, it is about 30%. ”
Yakumo Lan hesitated to give her answer, and the youkai sage only looked at his demon with gentle eyes, a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his lips.
"Wrong, Blue. Even if you are very good at calculation, you can only come to such a wrong and outrageous conclusion when you don't know enough variables. ”
Yakumo Zi seemed to remember something, and immediately sneered.
"But it's much better than those idiots who think the demon race will last forever. ”
"Let me tell you the answer, the probability of Gensokyo's demise can no longer be described as 'a few percent', but a percentage. ”
“99.99%。 ”
The youkai sage looked at Yakumo Blue, whose pupils were constricted by this terrifying answer, and laughed with some strange joy that shocked others.
"It's scary, isn't it? When I first saw these futures, I reacted much more than you did. ”
"Seriously, I wonder if it was Yakumo's hatred for me that caused me to see such a miserable future. ”
Yakumo's fingers slid along the slender silver chain around his neck all the way to the enchanting ravine, touching a round jade at the end, revealing a smile full of blood.
"After all, the only way I can see the future is through His eyes. ”
"But then I thought about it, how can he still have hatred when his soul is gone......?"
"The Gensokyo I created will really come to an end after a thousand years. ”
"This is impossible, I don't allow it, I gave up and came to this Taoyuan Land that belongs to the demon clan, I won't allow anyone or anything to destroy it. ”
The smile on Yakumo's face grew more and more hideous, and the human-sized sharp white canine teeth were exposed from between his lips, like knives and daggers.
"I can kill even Yakumo, I dare to kill even Yakumo, what other people or things in this world can't be disposed of?"
"This Gensokyo is the last and only thing I have, and I will not allow ......!!"
At this moment, the blonde-haired beautiful lady is not the uncrowned king of Gensokyo, not the great sage of the demon clan, just a pale girl with cold hands and feet who holds her last rag doll and never lets go.
So Yakumo Lan got up abruptly and hugged his master tightly.
Yakumo's eyes widened in astonishment, and after a few breaths, the sharp and crazy light in her purple eyes dimmed. She smiled slightly, closed her eyes as if she was tired, let her Shishen embrace her, and even took the initiative to adjust a comfortable posture.
"Blue, you're taller than me. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Who would have thought that that little fox would now become my most proud assistant? Even Yakumo's old fool didn't think so much about it when he grabbed you and gave it to me. ”
"Purple-sama...... It's better for girls not to swear......"
"Hmph, these are all taught to me by that idiot in Yakumo, if you have any objections, ask him to protest?"
"No...... But I don't think Yakumo-sama seems to have said much swear words either......"
"That's when you haven't seen him really angry, he still pretends to be elegant on weekdays, and outsiders give him the nickname of Lord Yunmengze, and he bursts into foul language that is worse than anyone else...... Hmph, after all, a vulgar monster who climbed up from the bottom, even if he got the land, he was just a local tyrant. ”
"Yakumo-sama isn't that unbearable, is it...... He is a ...... who really loves books and culture."
"Forget it, don't mention that dead old ghost. ”
Yakumo suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, it wasn't until Yakumo Lan thought she was asleep that a vague and lonely sigh sounded faintly.
"Blue, I'm a monster sage...... How's it going?"
Yakumo Lan pricked up his ears: "In my heart, you are the best sage, there is no one. ”
So Yakumo smiled contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.
