Chapter 35: Winter Goes to Spring, Flowers Bloom (Part 2)
(a)
"It's over!"
Reimu pasted the last talisman on the trunk of the westbound demon, and in an instant, the spring breeze was blowing, and the warm current of cherry blossoms swept across her face and rushed into the distance. All the "Haru" who were imprisoned here followed this warm current and returned to the place where they should be, and the petals of the Westbound Demon rained down on the top of Reimu's head.
The spring snow is changing, and that's it.
"Ahh
Yuyuko of Xixing Temple lay down on the lawn under the Xixing Demon, spread out his limbs, and posed with a "big character". Her physical condition is not good, and she is even a little tattered, but the smile on her face is like a warm sun.
Reimu had never seen this ghost smile so brightly.
"A little, just a little!" Yuyuko rolled on the ground, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Why are you so unkind, Ling~Dream~Kiss~"
"You kiss your sister!"
Reimu turned around and wiped the goosebumps from her face with disdain. When Yuyuko heard her say this, she jumped up, hugged her fiercely, and leaned to her ear, and said sweetly:
"Yes, kiss my sister, come and be my sister, Reimu!"
"Roll the calves!"
"Ahh
Reimu looked disgusted, raised his hand and saw a spirit rune, which slapped Yuyuko's face with a "snap". The undead of the spring cherry blossom screamed and flew upside down for several meters, and then fell to the ground. The golden light on her body fluttered, as if she was going to return to the West and become a Buddha.
"Spirit-Dream-Carbon!"
Yuyuko was frozen by the spirit rune, and she hammered the ground with her movable hands, initiating a childish temper.
"You just open the net and help me out!" she cried, her voice undisguised with a cry, "I really want to see the Westward Demon blossom!
"No!"
Step by step, Reimu slowly walked up to Yuyuko, bent down, removed the spirit talisman from her face, and then said:
"It is better for what has died to rest under the dirt. ”
"But people want to see it!"
Yuyuko sat up quickly as she played with her mellow voice, wrapping her arms around Reimu's legs and rubbing her cheeks against the silky warm white velvet stockings. Reimu lowered her head impatiently and yelled at her:
"If you say no, you can't, this is a foregone conclusion, and it won't change no matter what! Also, you're disgusting now, let it go!"
"Not only will I not let go, but I will go to your house to harass you, unless you promise me ......"
"Promise a fart, get out, aunt!"
"Woo woo woo...... Reimu bullies!"

It took Reimu a while to break free from Yuyuko's clutches. She was like a bird out of a cage, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
Yuyuko was lying flat in the courtyard, affected by the overflowing "spring", on the newly green grass that had just sprouted, looking up at the false heavenly dome in the underworld, with a slight smile on her face.
"You're so laid-back when you lose, Yuyuko?"
The person who spoke was Yakumo Murasaki, and she opened a gap directly above Yuyuko, and from there she leaned out half of her body, blocking Yuyuko's sky-looking view with her own face.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment in a rather delicate atmosphere, and Yuyuko's eyes unconsciously bent into two crescents in a smile.
"I guess it's because I lose that it's so easy, right?" she said with a smile, "If I win Reimu, I'll have to deal with the 'one' who crawled out of the dirt, and a whole bunch of other troubles." Losing to her is nothing. ”
"If it's too troublesome, you shouldn't have done this in the first place, right?"
"But, people just want to know! The secret of this westward demon, and the secret of the person buried under the tree......" Yuyuko said as if she was doing a "snow angel", swinging her arms up and down, "I've been here for thousands of years, but I don't even know the origin of a cherry tree in my backyard, isn't it too pitiful?"
"Hehehe......"
Purple smiled softly, stretched out her hand, and while stroking Yuyuko's cheek, she said meaningfully:
"There are some things in this world that should not be known. ”
"The so-called 'happiness' is a scale, with 'knowledge' on one side and 'courage' on the other. Only those who have both, or both, can attain true happiness. ”
"If you get the knowledge and don't have the courage, then you will be overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. If you gain courage but don't have knowledge, then you will lose yourself in useless endeavors. If you are ignorant but do not seek knowledge, or if you are knowledgeable and fearless, then you must have found true happiness. ”
"You mean," Yuyuko asked, "the 'knowledge' buried under that tree will make me 'unlucky'?"
"It's going to make everybody miserable. "So, let it rest in the dark, like all the dead in this world." ”
"Just like me, isn't it?"
This sentence made Yakumo Zi involuntarily stunned for a moment, she looked at Yuyuko's flawless smile, wondering if this was an unintentional remark, or if it meant something else. At this time, she heard Yuyuko say:
"I've never had a memory of what I did in life. ”
"I'm just a nameless ghost with the name 'Yuyuko of Xixing Temple'. I really don't know what kind of person or what kind of life 'Seshikyoji Yuyuko' was when she was alive. Sometimes, I really want to know about it, ...... sincerely."
"No......" Yakumo Murasaki moved her hand and blindfolded Yuyuko's eyes, "You will live happily here, forever like ......this"
"What kind of 'happiness' are you referring to, Purple?"
Purple didn't answer this question, and Yuyuko didn't continue to ask. If they were both like three-year-olds, they wouldn't have been able to maintain a friendship for thousands of years.
"Then again, Purple ......"
Yuyuko removed Purple's hand, blinked at the big cherry eyes, and asked:
"Shouldn't you be exercising with Nalan Twilight right now, why did you suddenly come here?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Yakumo's belly again, and laughed when she let out a "poof".
"Aren't you still very fat! Are you really losing weight?"
"Yes, stupid!"
Yakumo's face turned red into a ripe apple at once, and the gap quickly moved up, swallowing her upper body, revealing only her face. I only heard her say indignantly:
"When I'm down enough to wear the clothes of the last year, I'll let you see my devilish figure, wait and see!"
"'Wait for you to get in'...... Then again......" Yuyuko said, "Nalan Twilight, that guy was thrown down by you again, he's also a little desolate......"
"No, no, no," Zi waved her hand several times in a row, denying, "It's not my problem this time......
"That guy is so busy right now!"
