Yakumo Murasaki, a monster sage, one of the makers of Gensokyo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In today's Gensokyo, the only person who holds the title of Yokai Sage is Yakumo Murasaki.

Occasionally, in retrospect, Yakumo Purple also misses the old days, when the demon clan was all over the land and dominated the world.

But this world doesn't belong to youkai after all.

Although it has a long life that is the envy of human beings, it also has considerable side effects - arrogance, pride, conceit, and lack of progress. Because they feel strong and feel that they are perfect, they do not do any learning because they believe in their innate abilities and physique. All youkai, even Yakumo Murasaki, think so: as long as you work hard to tap your own abilities, as long as you continue like this, you can naturally reach the point of perfection, and there is no need to learn those messy things like humans!

But time has proven that the monsters were wrong.

By the time they realized it, everything was irreversible. Monsters are destined to be eliminated by the world, and this world is no longer suitable for these monsters who do not want to make progress and do not know how to learn and progress.

So some youkai sages led by Yakumo Murasaki came up with a plan for Gensokyo.

Although it is said to be "we", it is actually Yakumo Murasaki's own opinion. The other monster sages were either caught or subdued by force. According to their original idea, as long as they used force, humans could not be their opponents at all, and there was no need to build a turtle cave like Gensokyo.

What a pathetic race.

Yakumo Zi sighed like this, until this time, they hadn't realized that humans were no longer the humans they used to be. Among them, there are humans who can compete with youkai, and even if there are not as many people as there are youkai, the biggest difference between them and youkai is that they can learn and teach.

Learning means progress, and imparting means inheritance.

Their power and knowledge will continue to be inherited and refined until the youkai are completely defeated and no longer need such knowledge.

Yakumo felt a deep fear, but at the same time, she also came up with a brilliant idea.

- Gensokyo!

That's right, as long as Gensokyo is built, everything is still possible.

As long as Gensokyo is the last place to stay, youkai can continue to survive, and their long lives can give them endless time to wait for humans to completely forget about the real existence of yokai and all knowledge about fighting them.

When that time comes, it's time for the yokai to return.

However, those stupid other youkai sages did not agree with this plan, and Yakumo Murasaki didn't care what they thought, in fact, Yakumo Purple at that time already had the highest level of power in the youkai race.

So, Final Gensokyo was established.

It's said to be established, but in fact, it's just using Yakumo Murasaki's enchantment ability to demarcate an area somewhere.

This kind of Gensokyo is not really the envisioned Gensokyo, if it goes on like this, when the outside world gradually fades the perception of youkai, the weakening of the power of the youkai will definitely lead to the instability of this enchantment, and eventually make this incomplete Gensokyo shattered.

But fortunately, Yakumo Murasaki is not alone.

Yakumo Murasaki has many friends, and because she is very idle and very understanding, she has a lot of friends.

The Hirori Shrine Maiden is one of them.

Unlike most of the Witch Goddess Onmyoji, who take it as their mission to retire youkai, Hakurei Shrine Maiden does not have the mentality that she will get rid of all the youkai when she sees them. Although when entrusted by someone, she will mercilessly retreat from all youkai, but outside of that, Hakurei shrine maidens are also willing to talk to those youkai who have no malicious intentions.

It was after hearing about her deeds that Yakumo Murasaki went out of her way to visit this special shrine maiden and became friends with her.

The Shrine Maiden of Hakurei does not have her own name, she is an orphan who was adopted by the Shrine of Hakurei, and the old witch who adopted her is also illiterate, although the old witch has a nickname for her, but after the death of the previous witch, as time passes, the Witch of the Hirori herself does not remember much.

When Yakumo Purple found the Hakurei witch and proposed it, the Hakurei witch agreed.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm coming ......out again after humans forget how to deal with youkai in the future?"

Before Yakumo could finish speaking, she was stopped by the Hakurei witch.

"That's impossible! Purple, you underestimate humans too much. Hakurei replied with a smile, "Humans will gradually forget how to deal with youkai as they hide them, but even so, humans in the future will continue to make progress and make other weapons and methods that can be feared by youkai even if they are not specifically designed to fight youkai." ”

At that time, Yakumo didn't care about Hakurei Mikoto's words, but time has proved that Hakurei Miyako is a human and really knows more about humans than her, a youkai.

In the hundreds of years since Gensokyo was fully established, there were occasional items that flowed into the outside world from places where the Great Barrier was weak, whether it was books, newspapers, toys, game consoles, or home appliances...... These things and the information they contain prove the truth of the Hakurei shrine maiden.

"It's actually not a bad day like this." Yakumo Murasaki occasionally thinks so in the sun.

Maintain the Great Barrier every day, go and play with your good friends, reminisce about the glorious days of the past in your spare time, and remember the other youkai sages who were injured by humans and gradually died before Gensokyo was established.

Yakumo Zi thought that the rest of her life would be like this, until that day, everything was different.

When she first saw Hakurei Reimu, Yakumo knew that she was destined to be the most suitable child to become a Hakurei shrine maiden.

And the facts have also proved her vision, Bo Li Reimu is indeed talented, as long as she has seen the various abilities of the Bo Li Shrine, she can learn it immediately, and after using it a few times, she can be as skilled as a veteran, and the spiritual power is even more envious and jealous, even if she doesn't do anything every day in a daze, her spiritual power will grow at a high speed, so that those who can only rely on hard work can complain about how there is such a humanoid plug-in in this world.

In comparison, Bo Li Yunmeng is inconspicuous.

Although he has the same appearance and body as Hakurei Reimu, his talents in this area are just ordinary.

Like ordinary people, it takes a lot of practice to master, like ordinary people who work hard to cultivate spiritual power to grow, and like ordinary people, there are no amazing special abilities.

It's simply a model for ordinary people.

The only thing that makes Yakumo Zi care is that every time Hakurei Reimu masters the corresponding skill, Hakurei Reimu will also master it immediately the next day.

Yakumo Murasaki closely observed this, and the result was that Hakura Yunmeng practiced a lot in the middle of the night.

Although every time she sees Bo Li Yunmeng, Yakumo Zi will have a strange sense of disobedience and unhappiness, but she still thinks that Bo Li Yunmeng is mediocre and just an ordinary person, and this unhappiness is probably just that she has been with these people with inhuman strength for a long time, so she will have impatience with the weak when facing ordinary people.

Until that night, Hakuri Yunmeng transformed in front of her!

Hakura Yunmeng didn't change clothes and transform into a magical girl like the anime, but the scene at that time Yakumo Zi will feel especially memorable when I think about it now.

Magic Pattern!

Those magic patterns that wrap around Hakuri Yunmeng's body!

Those patterns that are living creatures themselves, full of powerful magic!

As long as she thinks about it, Yakumo will feel like someone has thrown a block of ice into her clothes, and her spine will feel like an electric current will pass through it. If it was a cat, she would definitely blow up at this time.

Disgusting, nausea, fear, this is the feeling that Yakumo Murasaki had when she first saw it.

She never thought that there was such a thing in this world that caused her to have such feelings as "fear", and she had always thought that the gap was the most terrifying thing in the world - at least for everyone else and demons other than her.

If I had to say it, those magic patterns were like natural enemies.

That's right, perseverance is at the very top of all living things, the natural enemy of all living things.

This is Yakumo's evaluation of those magic patterns after the fact.

Yakumo Purple never thought that Hakumo Yunmeng would actually hide such a powerful trump card. But what Hakura Yunmeng said next was what really subverted Yakumo's worldview.

Gensokyo is not real!

Hakuro Yunmeng explained everything with facts, Yakumo Purple did have feelings of despair, pain, confusion and helplessness at the beginning, but she soon gave up these negative emotions.

"Even if memories are just fictional settings, even if we are not real beings, even if even feelings are manipulated behind someone's back. But as long as I can confirm my existence, isn't that enough? Because I'm so happy with my life now! Look at those ordinary people, they have to run for life every day, and sometimes even living is a luxury, and with such a happy life, what is my dissatisfaction? ”

The only thing that Yakumo Zi particularly cares about is the mutation mentioned by Hakura Yunmeng.

What exactly is a mutation? Is what this kid with a terrifying demon pattern said really completely credible? If what Hakuri Yunmeng said is true, then why does she stay at Hakurei Shrine every day with nothing to do, instead of trying to go out and find the lurking anomaly?

Yakumo's secret investigation didn't give any gains, and the mutation like Rumia's never appeared since, as if it didn't exist in the first place, and after that, Hakuro Yunmu never showed the power of the magic pattern again.

――Maybe there was one in the Demon Realm, but I can't be sure if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Although he tried to study what the magic pattern was, Yakumo Murasaki naturally found nothing.

But today, a new opportunity has emerged.

A complete world!

When Yakumo Purple first heard Hakuri Yunmu say this word, she was a little dazed.

A world that has been artificially created, even if new environments and characters will gradually appear as the plot unfolds, isn't the previous world complete?

Yakumo didn't ask questions, she didn't have the same trust in Hakurei Unmeng as she did in Hakurei Reimu. She believes that even though she asks many questions on her mind, the answers she gets are not necessarily true.

Yakumo Murasaki, who has a long experience, of course, also has a certain ability to see through people's hearts, she can distinguish the parts of the past conversations that Hakura Yunmeng lied, even those parts that did not lie, Yakumo Purple is not sure that it is the truth. One thing, when you ask the other party if the answer is A or B, the other party says that it is not A, but it is not necessarily B is the correct answer, and Yakumo Murasaki will also use this trick.

It's not that difficult to clean up the outside world Hakuri Shrine, because most of the things are done by Hakuri Yunmeng, and she seems to be very skilled in her appearance. I've never seen her like this at the shrine.,But if it's pre-programmed to have this ability.,It's not surprising.。

Unlike what Bo Li Yunmeng said, they didn't wait for anyone on this day.

This real outside world, which is only the size of a mountain, has no living creatures at all, so it is natural that you can't wait for people, right? But maybe not, after all, this is a world created by man, and if there is a story saying that someone is coming, then it is not surprising that someone is coming out of nothing.

Yakumo Zi thought so, and Hakuro Yunmeng, who didn't want to go back to Gensokyo, sat in the corridor in a daze in the sunlight of the next day.

"Today's weather is not too good, although there is sun, but the wind is a little strong, I'm afraid it will rain......" Bo Li Yunmeng said disappointedly while boiling tea while looking at the thick clouds in the sky, "They may not come......"

"They?" Yakumo Zi noticed the words of Hakura Yunmeng, it turned out that he wasn't a person? But it doesn't matter what, one or two, or even dozens or hundreds, it's all the same, anyway, it's just a new character to appear in the story.

Yakumo thought to herself, and then her ears, far beyond human hearing, heard footsteps and the sound of a human girl talking.

"Someone's coming." Yakumo Zi looked at Hakuro Yunmeng, because the distance was a little far, she didn't hear what the other party was saying.

"Really?" Bo Liyun Meng smiled happily and wanted to stand up, but because the tea was about to boil, she sat down again, "Purple, don't use the gap to peek." In that case, it won't be interesting at all. ”

It doesn't matter, whatever. Yakumo couldn't think of any surprises, but she didn't care, because she was a well-experienced monster sage.

It's just that...... Although the voices of two girls can be clearly heard, why do they feel familiar?

The voices of the two girls who slowly walked up to the top of the mountain were like the voices of Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Reimu from a younger age.

Yakumo Zi looked at the stairs of the mountain road under the torii with some confusion, and then she saw-

"It's the one in the dream!"

The two girls who walked up to the top of the mountain, Yakumo Purple and Hakurei Yunmeng, looked at each other, except for Hakurei Yunmeng, who was still smiling, everyone's expressions were dull for a moment. ――――――ps: I don't know what's going on.,It's always a login failure.,Just log in and automatically quit.,What kind of trouble is my mother doing.
