"Good tea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Tasting the fragrant tea, Mori Jinrinnosuke sighed.

"Did you find out now?"

Seeming to be a little tired of talking, Yakumo Zi stopped.

"The tea ceremony can cultivate the mind, and this level of tea art is the result of more than ten years of learning from the old man of the Western Expert."

Like a kitten waiting for the owner's praise, Yakumo Purple has a 'come and praise me' expression.

“…… It takes hundreds of years of cultivation for others to reach such a state, but it's good for you to learn it in more than ten years......"

With a sigh, Mori said with a sigh.

"That's nature, I'm a genius."

How long has it been since I was coquettish like this......

How much is it on your shoulders?

It's like mud under your feet, and it gets harder and harder to walk......

Walking alone, looking forward, there is no one around, looking backwards, there is no one coming.

has persisted for thousands of years, and there is no need to continue to accumulate all feelings........

Once everything is said, it is the final parting......

At that time, Lin Yu will return to the main god space, and Yakumo Purple will be the last person in Gensokyo, fighting against the evil spirit dream to the end, until witnessing the destruction of Gensokyo......

"Stupid ......"

With a soft call, Mori Rinnosuke smiled slightly.

"Go on, I want to hear it."

"Hmmm......"

"Beauty...... Beautiful......"

I don't know when, Sheng Ji Temple has been full of people.

"I'm cute and charming, but I'm going to die."

I don't know when. I don't know who it is. There is such a sign hanging on this westbound cherry blossom.

But it seems that no one believes it. Many people come to visit the most beautiful cherry blossom trees in Kyoto.

And everyone who has visited the shrine will not have anything unusual for a period of time after leaving the westbound cherry blossoms.

But once the time passes, it will be distraught, and suddenly come to the westward cherry blossom again, and commit suicide here......

……

How long has it been since Yakumo Murasaki left?

Three years? Five years?

He was the only one who left Saiyuki Sakura and never returned.

Travelers in the past, attracted by the westbound cherry blossoms, whether they leave or not, will eventually die under the westbound cherry blossoms.

The father of Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple. The only one who is different.

After countless trips, he left the past behind, had no worries in his heart, and died under the cherry blossoms on the westward journey.

He was also the only one who could die on his own terms......

However, Yakumo Murasaki broke that one ......

She is not a half-dead person like a soul demon and has no power to die, she has not returned......

"Really...... What a perfect combination......"

Yuyuko of the Seighur Temple, who seduces death, and the Saigyu Sakura that continues to eat away at life......

I don't know why, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple suddenly wants to see Yakumo Purple again.

Under this blooming westbound cherry blossom, I saw the person who had escaped the realm of life and death again......

No...... Maybe not people......

It's just that even if it's a youkai. Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple also wants to see her again.

It's just that it's too late......

The westbound cherry blossoms are about to bloom in full bloom. When the light of the purple moon shrouded the earth, it was the moment when the westbound cherry blossoms were completely demonized.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple didn't know how many people would die from this blood-soaked demon tree at that time, and she didn't need to know.

All she needed was ......

With the power of his own death, seal the Saigyu Sakura!

And all that needs to be done...... It is to sacrifice one's own life to the westward cherry blossom before it blooms......

In this beautiful and glorious world, the only ** will be dedicated to the only usefulness......

The hope exchanged for this life will last forever!

Maybe it's just the wishful thinking of Yuyuko in Saiyuji Temple, even if she dies, she can't take the word death away from the world forever......

But she will do it anyway, because it is the only glimmer of meaning in life that she has found.

She pulls hope into the abyss and leads life to death, which means nothing to the world.

This is something that Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple has understood for a long time.

Like the falling cherry blossoms, the princess of the dead, who brought the same number of deaths, is about to return to her own destiny.

There may be someone else who can complete this task, but if it is not done by Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple, it will be meaningless.

The cherry blossom tree that kills people is essentially the same as the princess who guides life to death.

Meaninglessly depriving hope, depriving inalienable life, life......

Whether it's intentional or not, it's unforgivable!

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple is disgusted with Saiyuki Sakura, who is constantly killing, and even more disgusted with herself who can lead people to death......

But the power of ordinary people can't kill Saigyu Sakura or Saiyuko Temple......

A long time ago, he wanted to die in order to end his cursed life, but Yuyuko of Saiyuji Temple never found a way to die.

I lived under the westbound cherry blossoms for a long time, and I was never attracted by the westward cherry blossoms, so my life ended.

Whenever the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple watches as many people go to the westbound cherry blossoms and end her life.

I want to seal the westward cherry blossoms, and I want to end my cursed life.

The way to come up with this thinking is to end one's life under the cherry blossoms in the west.

With the power of death, seal the demonic power of the westward cherry blossoms.

And what it takes to do that......

Forever unable to enter the six realms of reincarnation, and after death, he can only be a lonely soul and a wild ghost.

Although he has gained eternal life, he has also lost the life that he should have as a human being.

And if you encounter a powerful monk or Taoist priest, you will be dissipated. Thus it will be dissipated forever between heaven and earth.

"It's already seven points......"

Gazing at the blooming posture of the westbound cherry blossoms. Yuyuko of Xixing Temple said lightly.

"It's very saki. I will be buried here. ”

It seems that he understood the words of Yuyuko of Saiyuji Temple, and the branches of the Saiyu cherry blossoms stretched out more beautifully.

Buried under the most beautiful cherry blossoms, a beautiful funeral like a fairy tale, but a dark past is hidden.

The person who died at the hands of Yuyuko of the Saigyu Temple, the person who died under the Sakura of the Saigyuki.

Under the most beautiful phantom burial, countless lives are buried.

……

"Cherry blossoms of Moriji Temple...... I guess it's already in full bloom. ”

Thinking back to the cherry blossom viewing a few years ago, Yakumo Murasaki remembered the woman with short light cherry blossom hair.

The woman who blends in with the cherry blossoms seems to occupy all the beauty in the world. Everything in the zero world is dumbfounded.

"Today, let's go to the temple and see her."

For several years, Yakumo Murasaki didn't do anything, but handed over the mutations that needed to be dealt with to Hakurei's shrine maiden and went into seclusion.

Allowing Gensokyo to develop on its own can only guide it in the right direction when it goes astray.

And being able to deal with the affairs of Gensokyo like this is also thanks to what Yuyuko of Xixing Temple said before.

To date, there is no one in charge of the underworld.

It's not that he didn't look for it, but Yakumo Purple had already chosen a candidate.

Until the death of Yuyuko at Saigyoji Temple. The position of the manager of the underworld will be reserved for him.

Human life. Only for a few decades, Yakumo Purple can wait for it.

But whether the other party will agree to become the manager of the underworld, Yakumo Murasa has not yet confirmed.

Therefore, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, clarifying the words that could not be told last time is what Yakumo Purple is thinking about at this moment.

……

Colorful butterflies fluttering among the cherry blossoms.

The fluttering posture adds a bit of beauty to this poisonous cherry.

"Reincarnation, reincarnation, no retribution, prayer, prayer, wish cannot be fulfilled."

The sunset, obliquely reflected next to the purple glow.

The night of the upcoming full moon will bloom like a flower.

Under the purple moon, the westbound cherry blossoms will completely stretch their branches.

It was also at that time that the power of Yuyuko of Xixing Temple would reach the extreme.

The phantom butterfly gently rested on the fingertips of Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.

The gently stirring butterfly wings seem to carry the light of illusory glass.

A woman who blends in with the cherry blossoms, smiling.

The beautiful smile like a flower blooms under the sunset full of golden glow.

It's beautiful......

It's beautiful......

Gradually, the moonlit night fell.

The light purple moonlight shrouded this peaceful land.

The westbound cherry blossoms, which have completely spread out their branches, are blooming wildly.

The smile on the corner of her mouth never dissipated, and Yuyuko of Saigo Temple quietly walked towards her end.

……

"The law of fate is cycles."

Under the purple moon, Yakumo Purple strolled quietly.

There was no rush to go to the Moriji Temple, Yakumo Purple felt the nature while leisurely moving in the direction of the Moriji Temple.

"The realm of life is life and death."

Under the cycle of the law of fate, it is the transformation of life and death.

There is too much sorrow entangled in the body of the living, so that there is the meaning of life, and the dead do not have the slightest trouble, so they have the ethereal spirit of death.

The living fear death because they are not yet able to leave behind the three thousand threads of trouble.

Even reincarnation is the same, with three thousand threads of trouble, fluttering away from the world, it is not as good as a small colorful butterfly, dancing, carefree.

And the real deceased is not the ghost, but the living soul who has cut off the green silk, has no hope, has seen through everything, and has become a Buddha.

As if sensing that something had been realized, Yakumo Zi stopped in front of the temple.

"That's what it is...... Is there a realm between the living and the dead? ”

Although he understood, Yakumo Purple couldn't use it.

The living and the dead change not only their state, but also their state of mind.

Those who have died for the first time still have nostalgia for the world before they enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reincarnated.

And such a person cannot be called 'dead'.

Only when there is a complete change in the state of mind can it be regarded as the realm of the living and the dead.

This is a state that can never be transformed.

It's just killing people with the power of the realm, which is not the realm of life and death. It can only be said to be the realm of the living and the living.

Relative. Resurrect people with the power of the realm. It can only be called the realm of death and the dead.

"Life and Death...... A realm that is absolutely untouchable. ”

After defining the realm, Yakumo Zi did not continue to comprehend this realm.

Stepping lightly into the Shengzhi Temple, Yakumo Zi suddenly felt a majestic demonic power burst out.

"Huh?"

The aura of rage filled the temple, but for some reason it did not spill out in the slightest.

"Westbound Sakura?"

A few years ago, I didn't feel such a majestic demonic power, even if it was a purple moon night that was rare in a hundred years, it shouldn't have such a terrifying power.

"No...... right"

In the midst of that violent power, Yakumo Zi also felt a familiar aura.

The power that induces life to die...... Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple!

Sensing that something was wrong, Murasaki Yakumo sped up her movement. Head west to Sakura.

The ink-dyed cherry blossoms are falling quietly, as if they are going to completely dye the purple moon night, and the westbound cherry blossoms are shaking their branches wildly.

Standing opposite to the westward cherry blossoms is the princess of the death of cao, Yuyuko of the westward temple.

Countless cherry blossoms brushed against Yuyuko's body in Saigyoji Temple, but none of them touched her body.

"Rest in peace."

Faint, faint voice.

Yuyuko of the Saigyu Temple moved step by step to the westward cherry blossoms, and pressed the slender jade hand on the branch that had grown for thousands of years.

It's like stroking an old friend.,There's no hostility at all.。

"Rest in peace...... Passed away under this purple moon. Find your true home. ”

The cherry trees gradually rested.

Fluttering cherry blossoms. It's not dancing like before.

The cherry blossoms that bloom for 10 minutes are only 8 minutes in a short time.

As if entering the finale, Saiko Sakura played the final octet.

The light of the light cherry blossoms slowly emanated from the place where Yuyuko of the Saigyu Temple came into contact with the Saixing cherry blossoms, and it didn't take long for one person and one tree to be enveloped in.

"In the music of death, the end ......"

Smiling slightly, the figure of Yuyuko in Xixing Temple gradually blurred.

The endless cherry blossoms slowly fall, and with the light of the cherry blossoms, they are swallowed up little by little.

“…… The power of death? ”

It was real death, not in the physical sense, but ...... Death in the realm of life and death......

Feeling such an aura, Yakumo Zi had a hint of foreboding in her heart.

Stepping through the inner hall, a field of cherry blossoms comes into view......

I couldn't see anything else, not even the sturdy Saigyoki Sakura.

Urging the realm between the visible and the invisible, Yakumo finally saw everything that happened in Sakurase......

Wan Er smiled, as if he had noticed Yakumo Purple, and Yuyuko's mouth opened and closed in the Saigyoji Temple.

It's just that I can't hear what I'm saying......

Immediately after, in the light, Yuyuko of Seighiroji Temple fell......

With a satisfied smile, he collapsed next to the westbound cherry blossoms.

Then, it melted into the ground and disappeared......

“…… How...... What's going on?! ”

The sudden sight made Yakumo shiny for a moment.

At the moment when Yakumo was stunned, the branches of the westbound cherry blossoms completely withered, and there was not even a single cherry petal left, and they disappeared without a trace.

The strong light suddenly receded, but Yakumo Zi came to his senses.

“…… It's ...... just now."

Yuyuko of Xixing Temple just disappeared in front of her eyes?

No...... No, it's not disappearing...... But......

Die!

The death aura that permeates the surroundings is incomparably thick, and it is the death aura that only those who control the power of death can exude after death.

“……”

Since the departure of Kazumi Yuka and Lin Yu, the only person who has made Yakumo Zi remember deeply......

Just died in front of Yakumo Murasaki......

Quietly walking to the westbound cherry blossoms, Yakumo Zi's mood was a little mixed.

The friendship with Yuyuko of Xixing Temple is not very deep.

At most, we just watched the cherry blossoms and drank tea together......

“…… Isn't that ......?"

Reading the information left by Yuyuko of Saihang Temple in the air, Yakumo Zi felt even more uncomfortable.

With death, we ushered in the world we longed for, a world full of hope......

This kind of determination is even better than Yakumo Purple.

Even if I knew that it was impossible to see such a world, I still did it......

“…… Sure enough, you can only be my teacher......"

Sighing softly, Yakumo Zi stroked the branches of the westbound cherry blossom and said.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple is nearly a thousand years younger than Yakumo Purple.

But what Yuyuko of Xixing Temple taught Yakumo Zi made Yakumo Zi feel for a long time.

Yuyuko of Xixing Temple taught Yakumo Purple what Gensokyo should be like, taught Yakumo Purple the realm of life and death, and taught Yakumo Purple how to stick to her beliefs......

"What are you sighing about?"

The soft voice, although familiar, is a little different.

"I am lamenting the death of my friend and teacher."

Gently, gently, Yakumo said.

"What kind of friends and teachers are they?"

Some Jing Ling's voice asked Yakumo Zi.

"In terms of friendship, although we have not been together for a long time, we can be regarded as one of the few friends I have, and in terms of teachers, they are people who can be compared with my real teachers."

Giving an extremely high evaluation, Yakumo stood up.

Sakura's parasol, shimmering faintly in the moonlight.

"Does your heart hurt?"

"Maybe, or maybe it doesn't touch ...... anything"

Leaning on the westbound cherry blossoms, Yakumo replied.

"So...... Can I be your friend? ”

"You...... It's already ......"

Looking up at the withered branches, Yakumo Shishi left the westbound cherry blossoms.

"Let's go."

Faintly, Yakumo said purple.

"Where are you going?"

Somewhat curious, the voice asked Yakumo Murasaki.

"Gensokyo...... But before that, there are a few things to discuss with the court master here. ”

"Who's the last one?"

As if he had guessed who it was, Mori raised his glasses.

"Xianglinzi~"

With a faint smile, Yakumo Zi teased.

“…… It turned out to be Xianglinzi...... It's really unexpected.,I thought it was Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple.。 ”

Slightly stunned, Mori Jinrinnosuke pinched his nose and said with some disappointment.

“…… The reaction was not quite right, and it looked like the ridicule was unsuccessful. ”

With a bang, he put the folding fan away and put it on the table, Yakumo Zi picked up the teapot and filled it with tea for Mori Jinlin's help again. (To be continued.) )
