There is a big monster living in the sunflower field.

This is already a well-known thing in Gensokyo.

Surrounded by delicate flowers, the big youkai named Kazami Yuka only quietly lives in seclusion in the Western-style pavilion and rarely appears in front of people.

Youkai who live long enough will gradually decrease in front of people, and she also conforms to this law, staying in her territory all day long, with flowers as her company.

No one dared to break this tranquility, because she was also famous for her cruelty.

Even flowers are not all weak and gentle, she is one of the outliers, and the beautiful but cruel cannibal flower is the perfect way to describe her.

She is the spirit of Gaia, the wrath of nature, and has been one of the monsters created by the spirits of the planet to fight their enemies since the beginning of their lives. Symbolizing the violent and vicious side of nature, it is already conceivable what kind of temperament she will have.

Although she has long been liberated from her original duties, Kazami Yuka still has not changed, she is as fierce and cruel as ever, even to the point that this ferocity is second to none among youkai.

There was always a smile on her beautiful face, and she looked like a gentle big sister from the outside, but her smile was genuine.

It was not a false mask to hide his true nature, but a smile that felt pleasant from the heart.

It is precisely because of this that Kazami Yuka makes people feel terrifying.

Smiling when tending to flowers, smiling when killing mercilessly, most of the time, her pleasure is equated with hurting others.

Humanity is to be confused by the meaningless punishment that befalls humanity

――――Kazami Yuka is indeed the most vicious youkai...... She will do whatever she can to satisfy her desire for destruction, her desire to kill, and her interest in watching the suffering of others.

This madness is nothing more than a pursuit of pleasure.

However, it is also sufficient.

The long lifespan has given her enough repetitive pleasure that the humans she tortured have long since become a sea of corpses and blood. Even if you look at the scenery from a high place where the dead are piled up, you are tired of the constant scenery.

If you want to kill people, she has killed enough, no matter how delicious it is, even if she keeps eating it, there will always be a day when she gets tired of it, and the repetitive behavior has made her feel that it is not interesting.

Now that she is fragrant, as long as no one provokes her, she just stays quietly in the Dream Pavilion to kill time.

Sleeping is a very useful way to pass the time, but sometimes she wanders in the [dream world] with interest.

The so-called "dream" does not refer to the scene experienced in the dream, but to the world...... An immaterial world made up of the dreams of the creatures of the earth.

It was a bizarre world, with countless bubbles floating in the atmosphere -- all the dreams on the planet.

Most beings are not even aware of dreams (such as humans), and a few are able to enter this spiritually constructed space and retain their consciousness through spiritual practice or innate ability.

Kazami Yuka is one of them, and as a youkai, her innate ability is nothing more than controlling flowers and plants, but with her acquired practice, she has gained new powers.

A power that goes hand in hand with dreams.

In this way, she may be a woman who likes romance.

Watching other people's dreams is one of her interests, and when she wanders around [Dreams], if she feels interested, she will break into other people's dreams to take a look.

It's just that, to Kazami's surprise, here she actually saw the dream of an acquaintance.

And it's a nightmare.

The nightmare is always clouded in the sky, creating a dim sense of oppression as a way to weaken or even stifle everything it touches.

Dreaming is a phenomenon that occurs when the activity of the cerebral cortex is not completely suppressed, and for a big monster like her, it is impossible to dream again during deep sleep - unless she deliberately does it herself.

So, she didn't expect that man to have a nightmare one day.

Although there is a disagreement in terms of the means of acting, she has always agreed with the strength of the other party -- but it seems that it has begun to decline over the years.

It's not a star and a half that fell when he first met her, if it was the extent of the other party's heyday, Kazami Yuka still hasn't been sure to beat him even now. But now......

If you make a serious move, you can let him return to the underworld within a thousand moves.

All in all, out of curiosity, Kazami Yuka ran directly to the man's dream to interfere.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The high-speed moving uppercut punch hit the jaw with precision.

No creature can withstand a terrifying blow that makes one feel sympathetic to the target of the attack.

-- This punch is unbearable.

In an instant, with excellent intuition, Feili made a judgment.

His body also made evasive movements quickly, leaning back as flexible as a snake, dodging the fatal blow in time.

Then, fight back.

Taking advantage of his opponent's punches, he rushed forward with great speed.

The steely right fist slammed out.

If the speed of the shot is a flash, then the change in his arm is the skill he uses that can be called a ghost.

He carried a belief in nirvana.

The enemy in front of him is not qualified to show mercy to his subordinates -- or rather, he has no room for mercy.

Far more powerful than your own body.

The power of a single scaly claw alone made Fei Li tremble...... This woman, if you want to talk about strength alone, may be more powerful than his teacher, more powerful than his mother.

Therefore, if you don't do your best, you're just looking for your own death.

With a punch of 500,000 horses pushing with all his might, even if the earth is flying, he is confident that he can make a hole, but he is very doubtful that he can cause any real damage to the woman in front of him.

As it turned out, the fears were by no means meaningless.

The punch that burned the fighting spirit was grabbed by the woman with a slender white hand, and the gentle appearance was like a lover's caresse.

If that's really the case, Feili is a little happier.

However, when he was grabbed by the other party with terrifying violence, and his hand bones had already been shattered under the pressure of millions of tons, in addition to feeling sharp pain, a wave of horror rose in his heart.

He was caught.

This distance is dangerous.

Both intellect and intuition were frantically telling him this.

Driven by a sense of crisis, Fei Li instinctively raised his left hand, which was still intact, and released a blow towards the woman's head.

Even though he was shrouded in the fear of death, he still did not forget to punch sharply, and he deserved to be a well-known warrior in the moon capital.

However......

「――――」

With the strange sound of "creaking", his left hand also stepped into the same fate as his right hand, and was captured by the woman, and was twisted into an indescribable appearance under the incredible strange force.

Instead of being crushed, the bones were crushed into very fine powder under pressure, and it is no longer necessary to say what became of the muscles that wrapped around the bones.

This is a devastating damage that cannot be repaired in a moment even if it is repaired by using cellular reorganization, so to speak, Fei's hands have been wasted by this woman.

However, the woman did not stop attacking.

That's right, there is no reason to stop.

She let go of Feili's already undoubted arms, ran her hands over his cheeks, and slammed her own forehead into his.

What an inefficient means of attack, wouldn't it hurt herself?

In an instant, the thought that only those who have nothing to do with themselves flashed through Feili's heart.

After that, the whirling pain caused him to temporarily lose his ability to see and think, and he couldn't help but stagger backwards, but in the end he still did not fall, still maintaining a straight position.

"Whew, Whew......"

His breathing had long been chaotic, and Fei Li had no strength to calm down -- now he had to spend a lot of effort just to keep standing.

"Oops...... It hurts."

As if whining, the woman pressed her forehead, which was a little red from the impact.

In contrast, the flying force with blood flowing from his head was even more miserable.

His white hair was stained blood, and his vision, which had not regained focus due to the impact, was also hindered, but he still looked at the woman in front of him.

「…… You're getting weaker, you're weaker, you're weaker, you're weaker, you're still young."

To be honest, he didn't understand a word about what this woman was talking about.

Strong, very strong.

Having never practiced martial arts, this woman's physical skills are completely formed by actual combat experience and intuition.

However, her strength was so great that she must have been accustomed to slaughtering her opponents with her proud strength, and destroying her enemies with overwhelming force, as she is now.

Moreover, she is quite cruel.

Like the shrike who likes to play with her prey, she has no less cruelty.

Fei Li just discovered that in the battle just now, this woman's tactics were quite immature. The opportunity to kill himself was missed a dozen times, and inefficient attacks kept appearing.

If you want to kill yourself, you can obviously do it faster.

Now, Feili finally understood.

This woman is by no means inexperienced, she is just ...... I like to see my opponent in pain dying and struggling.

She did it on purpose.

"Looking back now, my mother's blow to my forehead in the morning was really gentle......

Somehow, Fei Li suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

In this case, he can still ridicule as usual, I really don't know whether to call him bold or stupid.

"Does it hurt? I obviously didn't try too hard...... Looks like you need to exercise more."

"Hum ......"

"Anyway, you look more likable than usual now."

For Feili's cold snort, the woman was not angry at all, but it was better to say that she was very happy.

The more self-respecting the opponent, the more valuable the bullying. Her twisted values make her fond of enemies with noble spirits.

Because only that kind of person can really make her feel happy when destroyed.

"What a twisted woman...... You must not have any friends."

"No, if I tell my friend, I'm going to surprise you—it's definitely not what you expected."

After saying that, she also blinked her right eye violently.

Unfortunately, Fei Li was not able to hear the meaning of her words.

"So, what's your name?"

"It's not that I can't tell you, but I'd like to ask a little bit about why you're asking."

"To be able to force me into such an opponent -- if I still don't know her name, then I'm too incomprehensible."

The amorous expression in Feili's mouth was really incomprehensible, and the woman nodded as if she was satisfied with the answer.

"Okay. As a gift to you, I will tell you...... My name is Kazami."

After hearing this name, it was as if a burst of electricity rushed through Fei Li's body, making his flesh tremble.

He should have heard the name -- but he couldn't remember it anyway.

"Well, you can die in peace."

As she spoke, the woman raised her right hand.

The power of extinction can be felt.

I definitely can't take it, I can't block this blow.

However - -

"Wait a minute!"

He hurriedly shouted.

"What? Don't tell me you're begging me for mercy, that will only anger me—for it will only tarnish your reputation compared to your usual life."

"What are you kidding, I'm not going to wag my tail at you."

Without thinking about it, Fei Li shouted categorically.

"Well, that's the only way you have the value of being destroyed--So, what do you want to say? If it's my last words, I can listen to them reluctantly...... I don't think it makes any sense, though."

"Didn't you say you'd come to help me? Why did you attack me suddenly?"

That's right, if this question is not clarified, he will not die blindly.

Even if you want to die, you have to know why you have the endgame.

"Uh......"

The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the woman who claimed to be Kazami Yuka twisted her face aside as if she was embarrassed.

Because her eyesight had almost recovered, Fei Li could see the blush on her face - I really didn't expect this woman to have such a shy posture.

"Well...... Well, it's ......."

The words were also spoken.

The feeling of being a beautiful monster has disappeared, and now she looks like a shy ordinary woman.

-- It's just that it looks like.

In Feili's heart, there was an inexplicable voice repeating this to him.

"That...... I did come to your aid, but you wouldn't wake up, and I had to wake you up by force—well, all you had to do was know that I was going to kill you now."

Still unacceptable, but now, Feili has finally determined one thing.

This woman, Yuka, is now his enemy.

"I understand, so let's move on to the next round."

With that, two golden blades made of magnetic power completely severed Feili's arms from his shoulders.

"Cell reorganization!"

Since there is no cure, then cut it off and grow it again.

Feili's idea is undoubtedly very correct, but the question is will the other party give him that time?

Yes.

Fei Li was convinced that since Kazami Yuka was a guy who liked to torture her opponents, then his resistance would be a more pleasurable act for her.

Obviously, Feili was right.

Regarding his "dying struggle" behavior, Kazami Yuka looked at it with a smile.

bones, muscles, nerves, skin...... Under the urging of a powerful force, a steady stream of regeneration emerged from the fracture, gradually intertwined and entangled into two intact arms that were slightly fairer than the original complexion.

It took less than five seconds.

Clenched hands, crackling sounds. Prove that these arms are not fakes.

"Thank you for waiting for me for a while."

"Don't thank me...... The result is the same anyway."

Fei Li did not answer.

To be honest, he clearly knew that there was no possibility of defeating this Kazami Yuka with his current self alone. If there is no accident, his end is only defeat.

He didn't want to die...... If there is a need for sacrifice, then it is impossible for him to die. But the current situation only made him think that his death was meaningless.

Yes, it has nothing to do with glory or bravery, and if he dies here, then he really has no point in dying.

Fei Li couldn't accept this.

So, he decided to run away.

If you can't win the battle yourself, then it's good to run away.

His spirit is very concentrated, and every move of Kazumi Yuxiang can be seen. This had to be done, or he would have died in an instant.

"So ......"

Kazami Yuka raised her hand, and this action alone had already made Fei Li break out in a cold sweat.

"You're ready...... Are you ready to die?"

Before the words fell, Feili heard a strange sound of "popping".

It was an extremely unpleasant sound, and Fei Li didn't realize for a moment that it was coming from.

――――I don't know when, Kazami Yuka came to him.

At a very close distance, the tips of their noses were about to touch, and the flawless face of Kazami Yuka was in front of him, and Fei Li could even smell a certain familiar fragrance of flowers.

Ahh Why can't I remember?

Such thoughts lingered in his mind.

"Abominable ......"

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and to his chest, but the placket of his chest was not stained red by it, for it was itself blood-red.

How fast is that? Even beyond the flying reaction.

In a moment that she didn't catch at all, Kazami Yuka came in front of Feili, her right hand turned into a sharp claw, and slashed into his chest with the goal of the heart.

"This is the end for you."

Kazami Yuka, who said this with a smile, pulled her hand out of her fierce chest, along with her heart.

Without the hindrance of his arm, blood spurted out of Feili's chest, and it was sprinkled around without hesitation.

No longer had the strength to stand, and he fell backwards.

――――However, before that, he was first held up by Yuka Kazami.

"Hey, hey...... It's a shameful posture, isn't it?"

"I'm going to die...... Is that all you say?"

For Kazami's words, Fei Li just responded with a tragic smile.

"Am I going to die?"

"That's right."

With an affirmative look, she nodded coldly, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Really?"

The voice trembled slightly, which contained the fear of imminent death, but as a dying person, it was enough awareness.

"How dare you say it, you killed me, what else do you want me to say? I want to curse you."

"Shouldn't it?"

"I can't do that...... This is the fate of the loser, I have been defeated by your strength head-on, and although you have killed for no reason, I will not curse you for anything, because there is no doubt about it."

"Even though you're about to die, you can still talk so much, shouldn't your heart be your point?"

Kazami's question made Fei Li laugh and caused him to cough.

The heart is undoubtedly his fatal point, even if he has cell reorganization, and the heart is destroyed, he will still return to the underworld. Feili is powerless to return to the sky.

"Damn it...... I'm almost out of sight."

"Really...... Then hurry up and go to sleep. As I said, life is just a dream on the battlefield, and believe me, when you wake up, you will find that you have just dreamed."

「…… You...... How can I believe it...... Stupid."

Fei Li cursed the wind and saw Yuka, and closed his eyes.

-- If that's really a curse.

Obviously he was killed, but not why, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It made him look like he was having a good dream.
