Dusk, bright and dim. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Scarlet sunset clouds filled the sky, making the shadows falling from the treetops much more eerie.

It's a magic moment.

As the name suggests, the moment of the devil is the moment when people meet the demon. Of course, this is just an ancient belief of the Japanese people, and if it is put into the eyes of modern people, it is just the most ridiculous feudal superstition......

But at least, in the era and world in which Zhibei exists, or in other words, in the past, present, and future that is happening before his eyes, this moment is not ordinary.

In this ambiguous and dark moment, he did encounter a youkai.

It was a youkai who couldn't go up or down, and although it was the appearance of a blonde girl dressed in cloth, Zhibei's senses, which had become more acute since his transformation into a god, told him that this little guy stuck in the treetops was by no means human.

"Ahh......h ”

So, Purple succeeded in seeing the young girl being startled, and the little guy was swaying around the treetops for a while, hurriedly clinging to the branches, and glaring at Purple's orange pupils full of surprise and fear.

"Hee-hee......" Zi smiled gently at the young girl.

Of course, Zhibei assured with his understanding of Zi that this laughter was definitely not as kind as it appeared, but it was better to say that this laughter was full of malice that the prank succeeded.

Fox youkai?

Xin also chuckled twice for the young girl's cute reaction, shook his head helplessly, and Zhibei gently comforted the fox monster in the treetops: "Don't worry, little one, I'll save you!" ”

"Huh? Why? The blonde girl asked in surprise, she now regained the awe-inspiring momentum she had when she first met Zhibei, "Do you know what I am...... Youkai, right, but aren't you afraid of me? Why are you willing to help me? ”

To say why......

Is it because Zhibei is not a human being, but a god? No, he had also spent a long time as a human being, which made him not very aware of his identity at the moment. So, is it because he has a yokai sister, so he's on the side of the youkai? No, Zhibei's position has never been on the side of the monsters, and of course, it is not on the side of the humans!

In the end, probably because of him, Zhibei, after experiencing so many events, has grown a little obviously!

Although a boy in the modern city understands the value of life because of his love and understanding of Gensokyo, even if he encounters an unlucky human, he will never lend a helping hand - he will slowly walk through contradictory thoughts. But here, at this time, he is willing to lend a helping hand to all beautiful, kind, lovely, and upright beings, whether they are human beings or monsters, gods or devils, he is willing to do his best to help them, to reverse their sad fate as much as possible, and to create a happy ending for them!

It's not for justice, it's for the sake of knowing his own preferences, for his own happiness!

So......

After carrying the young girl down from the treetops, and after putting her firmly on the ground, Zhibei showed a yang (shen) light (shi) can (zhi) rotten (ji) smile: "You ask me why I am willing to help you, of course it is--because of that sweet big brother!" Cute little guys. ”

A cold snort came from behind purple.

Because he is not the stupid male protagonist of the harem man, of course Zhibei knows why this sister is jealous, and of course, because of his understanding of Zi, Zhibei also knows that Zi's emotions will soon pass.

"By the way, little one, do you really want to eat that big fruit that's why you climbed so high?" Zhibei squatted at the same height as the young girl, and asked the young girl who was still stunned by Zhibei's answer just now.

"Not really!" Unexpectedly sensitive, the flush on the young girl's face made people think it was smoked by the sunset.

"Well...... No, it's not......"

"What kind of attitude do you have, even if you are my savior, if you mistake me for such a greedy person, I will be so angry that I ......can't bear it," he said halfway through the words, and when he took the fruit handed from Zhibei, the young girl still habitually thanked her.

"Ah...... Thank you! "I was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted," eh!! Wait a minute! The blonde girl put on a tangled look of wanting to throw it but not wanting to throw it.

It's a lot of fun.

"Well...... Don't worry about it so much, this is what we have for you! With a chuckle, Zhibei patted the little guy on the head - his hair was unexpectedly soft.

"Hmph, I just don't want to waste food to accept your gift! It's not because I want to eat! ”

"Obviously it's just a foodie......" Because it was too interesting, Zhibei couldn't help but mumble in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

The little guy didn't hear it, so Zhibei easily fooled it: "Ah~~ I'm just asking, what's your name, little guy?" ”

"My name is Blue!"

Full of momentum, the fully confident answer fiercely teased Zhibei's heart.

Blue? Fox monsters?

Could it be the Yakumo Blue of the later generations?

Although it was still only a question in his heart, Zhibei's intuition had already given him the answer.

This is probably the inevitable fate that happened to him, just like the stand-in messengers will attract each other, and he and the guys in Gensokyo probably also have such an attraction.

Although Zhibei's heart was shaken, his face was still as usual, but in order to hide the unnaturalness, he had to continue to ask, "Why is it called Lan?" ”

"Hmm...... Why? Lan tilted his head, then showed an innocent smile, "Sure enough...... Or because Blue loves the sky the most! ”

"Is the sky ......?"

At this moment, Shikuya, who was standing behind Zhibei, took a step forward, squatted in front of Lan, and asked, "Lan, are you the youkai from there - is it the fox of Inari Shrine?" ”

"Ahh How do you know! Surprised, Blue's blonde hair jumped.

“…… When you think of the god Inari, don't you think of foxes? The elegant smile on Purple's face was a little smug, "Many places say that the white fox is the retinue of the Inari God, but in fact, many times the Inari God that people believe in is just a fox demon with high mana!" ”

There are many legends about foxes in Japan, and Zhibei has also learned a little, for example, Abe's mother is a white fox named Kudzuba, and there are indeed two white foxes as followers in the image of Inari God. Although Zhibei didn't have a way to figure out whether the Inari God was a fox or not, because it was the speech of the yokai sage and yokai expert, Yakumo Murasaki, Zhibei had 100% trust in it.

"You know that very well!" Hearing Zi's words, Lan exclaimed, "You even know that the god is the patriarch, who are you?" ”

"Of course I'm not human!" Purple chuckled and said, "I'm a monster, little one!" ”

"Huh! Huh! Eh~~~~~~! Lan exclaimed as he looked between Zi and Zhibei, obviously unable to accept such a shocking fact for a while.

"Well...... Blue, so you're not the god of Inari, are you? Smiled patiently, and waited until the young girl finally calmed down, and then Zhibei continued to ask.

"Hmmm! Blue power isn't enough...... After all, Lan Cai only has three tails, where can he be a god! ”

"So...... Can you help us talk to your patriarch when you go back? We're going to visit your shrine tomorrow. ”

"Hmmm! Yes, wait...... Why should you come to us tomorrow now? ”

"No, we're going to visit a nearby village today...... Well, so I'll leave it to you! Zhibei said.

"Don't worry, big brother! Blue will definitely complete the task perfectly! And, I'm sure the patriarch will be happy to host you kind monsters. ”

"Ah, that couldn't be better! By the way, I'm not a youkai, Blue! Zhibei blinked with interest, pointed to himself, and said, "I'm a god!" ”

"Eh, eh, ~~~~~eh,
