A long time ago, when the heavens and the earth first opened. The gods descended on the world.

The gods, who are transcendent and above all other living beings on earth, rule the world. As a matter of course, their authority as they should sit on the throne of heaven is unquestionable.

But is it because you're tired of the scenery on the ground? After a long period of time, leaving behind countless magnificent legends, the gods gradually disappeared.

That is what is known as Ragnarok, the end of an era.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that all beings are freed from the bondage of God.

Then, the age of youkai came.

With the same intelligence as humans, and a body more powerful than humans and any other bird or beast, why shouldn't you become the second master of the world after the gods are gone?

Compared to humans, demons have far more types than you can imagine. They join the cycle of life and death in a variety of forms, and for a long time, they exist in the same form, and walk along the river of time to the end.

That's it.

Just like the gods of the past, the yokai that are not commensurate with the development and growth of human civilization are almost no longer necessary.

The time that will eventually come has ushered in its dawn -- a tomorrow full of possibilities for humans, but the last glimmer of twilight for youkai.

Without almost all the youkai noticing, the pace of the times has accelerated, and it is only a matter of time before it comes, and even the great power of the great youkai cannot avoid the end.

Even so, if no one is aware of it, you can pass away happily with a smile on your face and in the stupidity of not knowing anything.

However, the youkai has gradually fallen into the abyss of destruction, and it was discovered by a certain intelligent monster.

It's a youkai in the gap.

"Purple."

「…… What's up? Fragrance."

Hearing a familiar call, Yakumo retracted her gaze staring at the moon. Turning his head to look at his friend next to him.

With a body as small as a ten-year-old girl, and huge double horns that are extremely disproportionate to the body, there is no possibility of misreading.

"If you have anything to say...... Actually, it's nothing. It's just that you're preoccupied and a little curious. What are you thinking?"

The ghost's tone was as leisurely as ever, but Yakumo didn't feel offended. Because this is the Ibuki Senka she knows.

Today's moonlight is very magnificent, with a deceptive charm, which makes the two people in the courtyard have the illusion of being in a dream.

Being in the courtyard where the monster mountain is used to entertain guests, Yakumo Zi, who was sitting casually in the aisle, patted the position next to her, and her meaning was very obvious.

Ibuki Suika smiled and sat down beside her.

"Me...... I just remembered the morning meeting."

"Although the process was a little tortuous, didn't you achieve your goal in the end? Why do you put on that expression?"

That illusory expression...... Although it is definitely not sad, it is too prosaic for those who have achieved great things and should be in high spirits, and they do not feel any excitement or complacency in it.

"Or do you regret it?"

With a flippant expression, she bluntly asked the sharp question. As long as the guy who knows how to communicate with normal people will never say the problem, it seems that it is not worth mentioning at all, and it runs out of Cuixiang's mouth.

That's right, probably only a fool would think that she knows how to interact normally.

"Regret?"

Hehe--Yakumo Zi couldn't help but chuckle.

With a mocking smile, only this smile tonight matches the Yakumo Purple in Suika's impression.

As if touched by this sentence to a certain switch in the bottom of his heart, the realm monster swept away the calm just now, and his empty eyes returned to the unfathomable nature of his usual days.

"Probably a lot of youkai will die......

It's almost a given.

In the same way, the disappearance of the yokai is inevitable -- such a thing, naturally, understands.

But even if you understand...... Will we be able to wait for the end to come?

Smile and usher in a sad ending, that kind of thing Yakumo Purple can't do. Whether it's too young or not, all in all, she doesn't have the attitude to see through the world.

wants to reverse this ending, but Yakumo Zi can't do it. She is proficient in mathematics and can deduce the most likely future from the available information, and the future she sees without exception ends with youkai gradually losing their place in the world.

Is this the will of all primates? Or is it the will of the planet? In any case, the world doesn't seem to have any intention of perpetuating the yokai.

So, what should the youkai who have been abandoned by the world do?

One day, Yakumo finally got the answer. But it was an extremely stupid answer, which even she thought was a little ridiculous.

If there is no place for youkai on the earth, let's go to the moon.

It is because of this idea that this morning's meeting was born. After Yakumo Purple explained the benefits, the ghost clan, who already knew that the yokai themselves were about to reach the end of their rope, sent an invitation as the alliance leader of all the yokai in the Far East Island Country.

A meeting to discuss the war on the moon -- leading the yokai to attack the ancient inhabitants of the moon is an act of gaining a new dwelling for those who are about to lose their home.

"To my surprise, there are quite a few people who oppose it."

Nearly a third of the people oppose this, and even more if you count the people who don't have a clear attitude. However, in the end, Yakumo Purple still knew the stakes, coupled with the prestige of the Oni Clan, and his excellent eloquence persuaded most of the opponents.

As for why the majority, there are two guys who know in the end that it is useless to oppose them, and even in the state of the general trend, they still stubbornly refuse to change their decisions.

Both are tengu's great yokai with ...... names

"That Zhiwu Liu, and Minato Jingming......

Hearing these two names, Ibuki said in a relaxed voice. It's just that compared with usual, there is more emotion in her words.

"Those two guys, it's no wonder they're thinking that way. They're all great samurai -- but they're also good morals."

"Are you virtuous...... It sounds good, but the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith are just concepts derived from human civilization."

Although the tone was quite ordinary, there was not a trace of respect in Yakumo's voice, and some were just disapproving for the two.

In her view, the two are just narrow-minded people who have no big picture and are immersed in limited personal justice.

"You can't say that, after all, war kills people...... For them, who went to war at an early age, they must have tried to avoid war."

In the face of Purple's mean words, even Ibuki Sumika, who has always been a hanger, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Aren't you the same at this point?"

Yakumo Zi looked at the petite ghost beside him with his spare eyes, and under that young appearance there was a soul that had lasted for more than eight hundred years. Compared with her in the era of Zhiwuliu's unification, she has the same similar experience.

"Oops...... You can't say that."

A soft sigh came out of his throat, and the ghost looked at the bright moon in the sky with wandering eyes.

"For us, dying on the battlefield is not a cruel thing. It's a difference in racial perception. Don't compare that to that."

"I see."

While speaking. Yakumo Murasaki's left hand gently touched the top of Suika's head, and through the chestnut hair, the palm of her hand could clearly feel the demon's body temperature.

Odd.

Yakumo Murasaki was secretly surprised in her heart. Obviously, Cuixiang's head doesn't feel good, but I always can't help but want to touch it, why?

"Hey! You ...... you guy."

The voice as immature as the appearance was rarely angry, and Yakumo turned her head to see Ibuki Suyaka staring at her with a look of disgust.

"You don't think I'm a child, do you?"

"No, no, how could that be."

The realm monster quickly withdrew his hand and denied it in a serious tone that was completely different from usual.

"Nonsense! I'm afraid you'll be confused by your decision, but now it seems that I'm worried in vain!"

"Oh, don't be angry, how about I invite you to drink......

Bewildered?

This kind of emotion can't appear in Yakumo Purple now.

What exists in her heart now is a sense of mission that is like a flame burning.

She also knew that the Moon War would kill many youkai, but it was only a necessary pain, all for the continuation of the race. There is no confusion in her heart, she firmly believes that she is for the sake of righteousness, as long as righteousness is desired, Yakumo Purple will never waver.

It's just that......

Under the moonlight, the meaningless quarrel between the realm monsters and the ghosts continued. Maybe that's their unique way of communicating.

The current Yakumo Purple still can't know that she has already been doomed to fail.

In the direction in which she was heading, there was the presence of a certain man--if there was to be a cause of defeat in the war on the moon.
