Chapter 3: Arrogance (Part II)

Penglai Mountain Huiye, as well as Emperor Inhata, the two who were still-for-tat just now, are already kneeling on the ground at this moment. Even though there was still a little resentment on the girl's face, and there was anger in the eyes of the rabbit demon, it was an indisputable fact that they stopped arguing.

There is only one person who can do this in the Eternal Pavilion.

Standing proudly in front of the two, Bayi Yonglin is that unique existence.

Although Kazuya is the leader of the Eternal Pavilion, but looking at her lazy appearance of not caring about anything and playing games, she also knows that she must not be able to manage the Eternal Pavilion in such an orderly manner as she is now.

Nominally, he is a medicine master who serves the princess, but Yonglin is the actual manager of the Eternal Pavilion. In other words, she is the woman at the top of the Eternal Pavilion food chain.

Looking down at the two of them with the advantage of standing, she sighed softly.

"Oops...... That's ......."

How to say that?

Yayi Yonglin felt a little indescribable, because the argument between Kaguya and the emperor was more appropriate than a quarrel.

At least it seemed to her.

"First of all, I should say that it's not right to quarrel. No matter how emotionally charged it is, it doesn't help solve the problem at all."

Just sighed for a while, Yonglin took out a full elder attitude to preach to Kaguya and the emperor, who were already honest.

These are her heartfelt words.

Rational thinking is the only way to solve problems, and this is an important ability that intelligent beings must be aware of. It is impossible to communicate well with others with words that are overly emotional...... Of course, it seems that neither humans nor other terrestrial creatures have a good understanding of this.

Marisa Kiriyu is a prime example. Yonglin really couldn't understand how Fei Li endured that unstable personality like dynamite.

Marisa in Yonglin's eyes is impulsive, reckless, impolite, and untouching-as a human being, I'm afraid she's a guy who only causes trouble for people.

By the way, Marisa in Feili's eyes is indeed impulsive and reckless, but at the same time, she is innocent and cute, and very straightforward (rude and unsophisticated)

Yonglin has never liked that apprentice magician. Maybe this sentiment has made her thoughts a little biased and incorrect, but let's put that aside.

It's not one apprentice magician who cares now, it's Princess Kaguya.

"And...... Princess, what you said is also very problematic......

"What's the problem?"

In response to Kaguya's somewhat puzzled rhetorical question, Yonglin somehow had an urge to cover his face.

But she still didn't do that.

Yonglin didn't understand Kaguya's rhetorical question, as she said, she was a princess, a noble person, and she should live a carefree life when she was served by her subordinates.

As for the phrase "You will work for me until you are broken"...... Although it is very unpleasant, it cannot be simply judged as wrong.

However, sometimes being right doesn't mean anything. At least as a superior person, you shouldn't say such things to your subordinates, and it doesn't matter if you are a dictator or tyrant who rules over your subordinates with absolute authority, but it's clear that Kaguya isn't that type of person.

Then, the so-called "popular will" is quite important. Besides, Forever Pavilion has never abused rabbits, and the treatment is superior. It's not worth it to end up with such a bad reputation.

Strictly speaking, it's a matter of speech and social interaction. Kaguya was perfect when he was in the Moon City before, but how did he forget all about his social skills after coming to the ground, and became a straightforward personality?

Could it be that it was influenced by that human, Marisa Kiriyu?

Of course it can't be. Yonglin knew very well that under Kaguya's youthful appearance, there was a soul that had existed for two thousand years and was controlling the ageless body.

The consciousness strengthened by the accumulated time cannot be easily changed by a young human being.

However, the so-called social interaction is originally an act of consciously establishing friendly relations with others, and this behavior itself is carried out by allowing others to establish a good impression of themselves. It should be said that this act itself is a kind of camouflage.

And after coming to the ground, there is no need for Kaguya to bother to disguise himself.

But is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Recalling Kaguya's beautiful and moving demeanor before, I couldn't help but compare it with the lazy girl in front of me. Yonglin found that sometimes, change is really not a good thing.

But for Kaguya, as long as she's happy, that's enough.

"You're too direct...... Alas, forget it. It's good if you're happy."

In the end, Yonglin still gave up preaching to Kaguya. A thousand words have been turned into a simple "if you are happy".

This is also the unique doting of the elderly.

"Now that Kaguya has stopped arguing, so be it. …… By the way, the emperor will come with me, I need your help with something."

As he was leaving, Yongrin said this to Emperor Inaba.

Of course, it didn't take much effort to detect that Yonglin wanted to call the emperor out alone.

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

Emperor Inaba is also a unique existence among the rabbit demons of the Eternal Pavilion.

Compared to her companions, her elusive figure, as well as her fierce personality like a fairy, and the wisdom brought by her long lifespan make her so outstanding.

Although Reisen is the nominal leader of the rabbit herd, the emperor is the actual speaker. In this regard, Kaguya and Yongrin have a wonderful similarity.

And in fact...... The original owner of the Lost Bamboo Forest was this monster rabbit, Emperor Inhata.

"I'm not trying to accuse you of anything...... Of course, you don't care."

Looking at the rabbit demon in front of him who seemed to be a young girl, in the corridor of the aisle, Yonglin said with a smile.

A gentle smile that doesn't make people feel any unpleasantness, that's the expression that Moonmind's mind most often makes.

At this point, she is really out of step with her son. Let's not mention whether this expression is disguised or sincere, at least it has been done so that it can't make people feel bad.

…… But Emperor Inhata hated this expression.

She hid her disgust in the bottom of her heart, and still put on a normal look on her face.

"That level of argument is just a bicker, not a big deal...... What I want to say is, Emperor, you still remember the agreement between us, right?"

――――A silver-haired beauty with a gentle smile must not have a more moving picture than this.

However, seeing such Yonglin, the unhappiness in the emperor's heart swelled more and more.

"Does that need to be said? My memory isn't bad enough to get there."

There is a bit of roughness in the tone, but when it comes out through the immature voice of the rabbit demon, it will only make people feel as cute as an awkward child.

"That's greatβ€”in that case, I'll go to work...... Don't forget to let the rabbits tinker."

I won't forget it--I waved my hand as I spoke. The emperor's eyes sent the back of the moon's slender mind to disappear from view.

"This woman ......"

In the corridor where there was no one else, her dark red eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and she bit her soft lower lip and spat out a murmur that seemed to be both sighing and mourning.

What is the agreement in Yonglin's mouth--no one will know better than the emperor.

They, the rabbits, are the least settlers in this bamboo forest. is the master here.

Although it is settled here as a group, there is only one emperor with intelligent monster rabbits. The other rabbits are just simple monsters, and it goes without saying that it will take a long time to become a monster with intelligence.

But, is there that kind of time?

The combat effectiveness of the rabbit is not outstanding, and the emperor himself is not the type that is good at fighting. I'm afraid I'll be eaten by other monsters or monsters before I have wisdom. The reason for settling in this bamboo forest is that the complex terrain is rarely visited by humans or monsters.

However, all this changed when the two humans settled in the bamboo forest.

As the original settler, it goes without saying that the emperor certainly didn't want to see anyone else settle here. But there are things that are not transferred by the will of the individual.

Because those two people are probably very strong. It is so strong that the emperor can hardly imagine. The enchantment surrounding their residence was so subtle that the Emperor had never seen it before, and it was likely that no one would be able to perceive where they were.

However, he couldn't hide the emperor's eyes, because he was shrouded in an enchantment and knew that it was too "clean".

It's hard for the emperor to tell what it feels like, but the atmosphere of over-purity has never been felt anywhere else.

Either way, it's an opportunity -- the two people who came to settle here have great power...... Enough to protect the power of the race. If the conditions can be met, it is okay to give this bamboo forest to them.

In this way, the emperor and Bayi Yonglin made a pact that if Yonglin could give her compatriots wisdom, they would serve them.

--Obviously, the Moon Mind has fulfilled its promise.

Then it will be the turn of the emperor to fulfill the agreement.

And strictly speaking, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with in the Eternal Pavilion.

As a substantive manager, Yonglin is not a harsh person, and the welfare of the rabbit is good, and the safety is also guaranteed. And the titular owner, Kaguya, is a waste of wood, but he is also an interesting guy.

I shouldn't have any grievances.

However, the emperor just felt resentful.

Far from rising to anger, it wasn't resentment. At best, it's only a minor grievance about the mustard.

These two people are too arrogant.

After getting along for hundreds of years, even the stone people should have some feelings. If Yonglin and the others are really gone one day, probably the emperor will also feel lonely.

But those two people didn't change much.

The emperor already knew that they were originally from the moon...... But should the people of the moon be so arrogant?

Kaguya's words reveal a strong sense of superiority, treating the creatures of the earth as savage, backward species. However, this is not bad, because she is still only superior, and it is not completely disgusting.

But...... Bayi Yonglin, although she always looks like a smile, is the most terrifying.

Strictly speaking, Bayi Yonglin is not a bad person.

As a doctor, she really spares no effort to help patients, helping humans and monsters. It's a sign of goodwill...... But this kindness itself is a manifestation of arrogance.

She believes that the weak need the help of the strong, and she sees the earthly creature as a fragile, incurable creature that needs her help.

Therefore, the emperor hated Yonglin's elder-like gentle smile above all - for not many people could perceive the intensity of arrogance hidden beneath that veneer of goodwill.

-- Of course, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that she is indeed helping others.

The emperor didn't hate her...... She just thought that one day, if someone could make that beautiful face that was always calm and unhurried show a panicked expression, then she would be very happy.

It's such a simple and harmless little wish, which has not been fulfilled so far.

…… Maybe not in the future.

P.S: Midterm exams are over! Let's see if we can do it again tomorrow
