A youkai sage named Yakumo Purple once rescued the young Rinnosuke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And in order to repay this kindness, the goods of the Xianglin Hall that Yakumo Purple God had hidden did not ask Yakumo Blue for an account. He also remembered the girl's last sentence "Let Gensokyo last longer" in his heart.

That's why he found Yutong Shiai. At the end of the day, the two of them actually have a considerable degree of similarity. One person plunges into the dream world in order to repay the favor, and the other lives with the dream of breathing Yakumo Murasaki.

That's why I picked up Furukawa Shinichi.

After Rinnosuke finished talking about the reason why he participated in this operation in the dream world, the eyes of several people present were focused on Furukawa Shinichi, a human being.

Furukawa Shinichi showed a wry smile that was really so.

Although he did still have doubts at this time.

"I want to ask the Sage a question."

He looked at Yakumo Zi, and the guilt in his eyes still hadn't subsided.

"Why did you give up your dream, if you use Mr. Yutong's ability, maybe you can really turn the outside into a Gensokyo where you can roam freely."

"This sentence, you ask it as a human being, it's really ......"

Yakumo laughed and shook her head.

"Didn't you just say it, because that's the path that humans themselves choose. The three of you all know what I said to Shiai just now. ”

"But ......"

Furukawa Shinichi frowned, looking at Yakumo Zi's pretty face, with a little guilt in his eyes.

He bit his lower lip.

"Mr. Mori has told me a lot about you. Because of the denial of humanity you will leave the world. You'll even have to hunt each other's companions to survive, just like Mr. Yutong...... In any case, I would like to ask you why you gave up your dreams, didn't humanity hurt you? ”

Yakumo Zi looked at Furukawa Shinichi's gaze, and there was a little more fluttering smile in his eyes.

"Shinichi Furukawa. If I remember correctly, you were an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, but you never achieved anything. ”

Shinichi Furukawa seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and his face showed bitterness.

Yakumo looked at him and smiled disapprovingly.

"But here, you become Taigongwang's apprentice, and you get the meaning of your life. Don't you like it more than the rest of the world? ”

"That's right."

Furukawa nodded in acknowledgement, a look of gratitude on his face.

"So I want to do something for Gensokyo, too."

"Even if it ruins the outside world?"

Yakumo's deep eyes seemed to be torturing a young man.

"Humans living in the outside world will be greeted with man-eating yokai, and the battle between humans and youkai will inevitably lead to the destruction of one side. You may say that there is always a balance, but there is no shortage of careerists among human beings. ”

"But Sage, your side obviously has a better chance of winning, doesn't it?"

Furukawa Shinichi was surprised.

"Why is it in a safe corner?"

When Yakumo Zi heard this, she was obviously amused by Furukawa Shinichi's behavior as a human being and provoking her to counterattack humans.

"Furukawa, this is really not what you should say as a human."

Then she shook her head and rejected the suggestion.

"If there is to be a permanent peace between humans and youkai, then it can only be that one side is managed and suppressed by the other, just like Gensokyo is now. Speaking of which, it's the same on the outside. Everything in the world has its own reasons, and you can't judge it as unfair because of what you see. ”

"But ......"

Shinichi Furukawa was clearly not convinced by Yakumo, and his frown remained unfurled.

Yakumo Murasaki also saw what Furukawa Shinichi was thinking, and chuckled.

"After all, Furukawa, you love humans."

Furukawa was stunned.

Loves Gensokyo, so the existence of being a human makes Furukawa Shinichi feel guilty for forcing Gensokyo to this point by humans.

This is also the handle that Mori Kinrinnosuke grasped.

But...... Why was Yakumo Purple said to love humans?

Furukawa Shinichi frowned.

Since I was a child, I have been an isolated person in an orphanage, growing up alone in this world, without friends, lovers, confidants, and achieving nothing. I thought I would spend my life in such a mess.,But after saying a word on the Internet that seemed to be someone and who's an old woman, I fainted with pain on my face.,After waking up, I came to this place called Gensokyo.。

Shinichi Furukawa became a disciple of the immortals, helping the humans in the human world, and felt the feeling of being needed.

If you love human beings, it is only those inhabitants in the world, and it has nothing to do with those cold-blooded, lonely, arrogant, and indiscriminate human beings in the outside world.

He craned his neck.

"I don't like humans out there."

"If you don't like it, why should you feel guilty about what they did?"

Yakumo Zi mercilessly pointed out the places he didn't expect.

"If you don't like it, why do you care? Furukawa, humans are more emotional than you might think. Why torture yourself for this? ”

"But...... But ah......"

Furukawa Shinichi seemed to be concentrating on the key points, and some of the words were exhausted, with a tone that almost cried.

He looked at everyone present with some anxiety.

"Could it be...... Have you never hated humans? ”

After this sentence, there was a dead silence.

Hate humanity.

Indeed, it is because of the denial of human beings that the monsters have taken refuge in Gensokyo, and it is because of the concealment of the knowing part of the human race that human beings will treat those ancient legends as just legends.

Because of humans, today's youkai are bound to Gensokyo.

If you want to say that you hate humans, then the reason is enough, right?

Yutong Toai, Mori Kinrinnosuke and Yakumo Zi looked at each other and chuckled.

"I see, Furukawa, that's what you think. I said why can't I make you feel so guilty, so you think so. ”

Yutong Shiai shook his head and sighed.

"It's true that I'm suffering because of the negation of human beings, but on the other hand, I've seen many, many beautiful places and many miracles of human beings, so I don't hate them. On the contrary, I envy them. ”

"I'm like that too. For some time after my parents died, I hated the human Self-Defense Forces. But there was one child who taught me to let go of the heaviness of the past, because that would not make the dead happy. ”

Rinnosuke smiled faintly, with a little tenderness in his eyes.

And Yakumo Zi also picked up his hand.

"Indeed, if with the current combat ability of human beings, Gensokyo can suppress all the countries in the world, and with the help of the ability of the Ten Loves, it is not difficult to turn the entire world into Gensokyo. I gave up this dream not just because the ultimate peace could not be resolved through the contact between the two, but more because I was a youkai sage. ”

She smiled.

This smile was like spring rain, like sunshine, shining warmly on Furukawa Shinichi's somewhat lost face.

"I love yokai and I love humans."

"Either way, I'm going to protect."

I love humans.

The monster sage declared, in front of the Trinity.

Gensokyo is the paradise created by this young girl, and it is her love for all people.

"The humans who came to Gensokyo, who were hidden by me, are either unsuitable for survival in the outside world, like you Furukawa, or they are unbearable people who can't be tolerated by the outside world. Gensokyo coexists peacefully with humans in this way, and neither humans nor youkai will stretch out their swords to each other. ”

Yakumo smiled softly and put her hand on Furukawa Shinichi's shoulder. Fortunately, Yakumo Murasaki is tall, a little taller than Furukawa Shinichi, so this action seems natural. If you change to a majestic Lori, maybe there will be no majesty left.

"And I'm the button that connects it, the sage of Gensokyo. How about it, my answer, are you satisfied, Furukawa. ”

Furukawa opened his mouth all of a sudden, shedding tears, as if he had been pardoned.

It's like being told that the cancer you found out last time was a misdiagnosis, but it's just tonsil inflammation.

"Can humans really be forgiven?"

"You really don't hold a grudge against us?"

As for the young man's ridiculous-sounding questions, Yakumo Zi smiled and shook his head.

"I don't hate humans, and the establishment of Gensokyo also involved a lot of human efforts."

There was a bit of nostalgia in her eyes, and then she turned into a monster sage and a deep one.

"In comparison, Furukawa, it's a good thing to find your own meaning in Gensokyo quietly and happily. Whether it's a chewer, a half-demon, or a human, there are always people who can like Gensokyo, fall in love with Gensokyo, and do what they want to do for this land, and having this longing is the greatest help to me. ”

Furukawa Shinichi choked up, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he couldn't speak to himself.

Yutong Shiai patted him on the shoulder.

To be honest, his heart is quite complicated. He himself is very reluctant to enjoy the peace and beauty of Gensokyo without paying anything, but for Yakumo Murasaki, Gensokyo can bring peace and tranquility to others, which is the best reward for him.

Yakumo didn't need his ability to help her counterattack the human world, Yakumo just sincerely hoped that the people in Gensokyo could live in peace like this.

The meaning of Yutong Ten Love is not only to open up that sky for Yakumo Murasaki, but more fundamentally to realize Yakumo Murasaki's dream. If Yakumo gave up on that dream, there was nothing she could do to keep going.

Although it would be painful, since this was Yakumo's decision, he would no longer be able to refute it.

Like, that's it, it's over, and after the farce, it will really return to that fantasy land.

Yutong Shiai looked at the three people present.

"Well, the two of them were also ...... by Yakumo Uh, was you persuaded by Purple-sama? ”

"And what can I do, since this is what she wants."

Rinnosuke shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's true."

The tears on Furukawa Makoto's face had not yet disappeared, and he nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's go back."

Yakumo smiled.

Go back to the place that holds everyone's dreams.

It's quiet and peaceful, it's plain and beautiful, and everyone can smile.

Maybe under this, there will be lurking darkness, maybe under this, there will be a lonely person, maybe under this, the teenager who can't find the meaning of existence will be confused for a while, or maybe under this, there is still a paradise that human beings can't believe.

But they still exist.

When they raise their glasses, there will be no more sadness in their eyes.

Please believe it, this paradise exists.

Maybe one day, you'll accidentally arrive at that forgotten world.

Then, find your own meaning in the paradise of the Yokai Sage.

Well, youkai sage, Yutong Juai, Furukawa Shinichi, Mori Kinrinnosuke, and the girls.

Welcome back to Gensokyo.
