Moriya Shrine, backyard.

At the stone table by the lake, Yakumo and Kanako sat opposite each other.

This is the first time Yakumo Mo has faced Kanako alone.

Kanako is very tall, at least in height, on par with Yakumo Mo.

Coupled with the divine aura revealed on her body from time to time, if she didn't speak, the oppressive force was enough to make ordinary people collapse.

"Don't be so rigid!" Looking at Yakumo Mo, who looked a little restrained on the other side, Kanako grinned, "I hate the rigid atmosphere the most!" Little Yakumo, since you are Yakumo's younger brother, then we are not outsiders, are we? Anyway, we went to that world to help you fight! ”

What Kanako said was naturally the last time she fought with the demon gods in the Demon Forbidden Plane.

"Thank you for the last time."

As the younger brother of the monster sage, Yakumo naturally has a bit of arrogance, and as soon as Kanako said this, he regained his previous calmness.

This made the smile on Kanako's face even bigger.

"I can't talk about gratitude, I can also collect faith in that world, and I will get more benefits!"

As soon as the words changed, Kanako suddenly leaned forward.

"Little Yakumo, are you wondering why I fused Yakura into that stupid crow's body?"

Yakumo Mo's head, "Is it to carry out an industrial revolution in the mountain of youkai to collect faith?" ”

Immediately, Yakumo denied his speculation again.

"That's not right, the current Gensokyo, a god like Kanako's predecessor, shouldn't need to be believed."

"Thank you! Although believing in this kind of thing can increase the strength of gods such as us, it is also too restrictive! ”

Kanako crossed her hands on her hips and laughed.

"Now this feeling of not having to believe is good! But—"

"But what?"

"-Yakumo-chan, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say it."

Kanako suddenly put away her smile. His face became a little stern.

"Although the gods of Gensokyo can now increase their strength through cultivation and time accumulation, and at the same time, faith itself will not be related to the survival of the gods, but it is undeniable that huge faith is still the fastest way for gods to increase their strength, and there is no one."

"That's why Kanako's predecessors will let Yata-wu and Lingwu Lukong fuse?"

Yakumo turned his head to look at the main hall of the shrine.

There, there was a faint sound of people frolicking.

"Is Kanako-senpai eager for strong strength?"

"Not about longing! But it's always good to be stronger! Kanako bluntly admitted.

This frank demeanor made Yakumo feel broken.

It is worthy of being a god who guards the arrow.

"If there is no Yakumo you. So my plan this time is aimed at your sister, which is actually clear to everyone, and there is nothing that cannot be said. For the future of Gensokyo, a balance of power is necessary. ”

"I know that."

No matter how harmonious Gensokyo is, youkai are youkai after all, gods, and will always be gods.

Unless the youkai of Gensokyo also become gods, whether it is through guò faith or some other means, Kanako, as a god, will never be able to get along with youkai without barriers.

Kanako patted Yakumo on the shoulder.

"Speaking of which, Yakumo-chan, you are now carrying the future of the entire Gensokyo. The little ones were all about messing around all day. Live carefree and don't care about anything. We can't, Gensokyo is already the last place for us guys, so the safety of the Great Enchantment actually affects everyone's hearts. ”

Speaking of this, Kanako sighed, "Mortals now, it's long since they were as pure as they were thousands of years ago......

"Once, when I knew that you could break down the barriers of the world, I considered whether to go to a world where mortals have not yet fully grown up and re-establish enough faith, but then I gave up on this plan."

"Exist because of dependence on the faith of mortals. Sooner or later, it will lead to the loss of faith and the collapse of oneself because mortals develop again, right? ”

"That's it!"

Kanako nodded.

"So don't look at the great power of the gods, in fact...... Ay! But now it's okay. When Gensokyo is completely self-contained, we will be a part of this world itself, and we will no longer have to worry about crumbling without faith. ”

Kanako seems to be in a particularly good mood when she says this.

"Then why did Kanako's predecessor still let Lingwu Lukong fuse Yata-wu?"

The topic is back.

Kanako pointed in a certain direction.

Yakumo Mo looked over, and it was the top of the Monster Mountain.

"Of course, it's because of the Great Heavenly Demon."

"The leader of the Tengu clan?" Yakumo muttered, "Speaking of which." I've never seen one before. ”

"Hey, what's there to see about that guy!"

Kanako doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Great Heavenly Demon.

"It's lazy to eat all day long, and let a large group of tengu feed it.,It's a lazy character with the shrine maiden of Hakuree.。

"Kanako-senpai, is there a contradiction between it and the Great Heavenly Demon?"

"It's not a contradiction—"

Kanako shook her head, her face suddenly becoming a little strange.

—When I first came to Yokai Mountain. Talked to that guy. In a word...... Forget it, let's not talk about her. Anyway, as long as you know, I hope that the belief in Tongguò will increase its strength quickly, but fortunately, I can have more chips when facing that guy, after all, the place where we live is too close, and it is always good to have more chips! ”

"I'll inform you again, after all, those worlds are also related to you, and I also have some arrangements for the other worlds connected to Gensokyo, so I don't have to worry that it won't cause you too much trouble."

To be able to make Kanako do this-

It seems that that the Great Heavenly Demon is really strong......

◇

The matter of the resentful spirit was completely resolved, and the communication between the ground and the underground began to become more frequent because of this incident.

The hot springs near Hakurei Shrine have been preserved.

This winter, it is naturally a good thing for youkai to have a place to soak in hot springs.

It's just that the youkai have gathered, and the humans who came to pay their respects at Hakurei Shrine naturally disappeared.

For this reason, Reimu has seen everyone recently, as if he owes her 100,000 yuan.

Kappa seem to have a special interest in renovating hot springs, and under the leadership of Kawashiro Natori, Kappa expanded the geyser into a luxury hot spring bath in the shortest possible time.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but this bath did not distinguish between men's and women's baths at first.

As a result, Yakumo can't go.

In other words, Yakumo can only enjoy it when no one is there.

"Little Yakumo, it's okay if you want to go to the hot springs!"

Yayi Yonglin once smiled and stuffed a certain medicine bottle that exuded a strange aura into Yakumo Mo's hand.

"Drink this bottle of magical girl transformation potion, you can turn around three times in the same place, dance a dance, sell a cute girl, and take a hot spring with us."

"No, I don't have any interest in changing to horse monkey shochu......"

Yakumo Mo, who has had the unbearable experience of becoming a true mother, is 120,000 wary of any potion provided by Yayi Yonglin.

Therefore, he dropped the strange potion almost immediately.

Subsequently, after Yakumo's protest, the kappa dug a new hot spring next to the original hot spring as a men's bath.

It's just—

"Why are you here? It's obviously a men's soup here, isn't it? ”

Soaking in the hot springs, with fox white on his head and buried in the water below his nose, Yakumo Mo, who kept blowing bubbles, looked at the few people in front of him in embarrassment.

Forget about tomorrow, after all, they are husband and wife......

Yui also endured it, daughter or something...... Daughter or something...... The most loving...... Hey, hey......

But why are Naiako, Kezi, and Purple and Blue here!!

In addition, the orange meow next to the hot spring, who was naked and constantly stretching out a white jade-like leg, carefully testing the spring water, was going on!

Mercury lamp! What kind of hot spring do you soak in a doll! If you are immersed in water, you will have to hang it up and air dry for at least three hours before you can know it properly!

Bee-eater pray! Don't think you're going to be able to run around here in a swimsuit! And why is it a bikini?

"Huh~~ How can I give up such an easy thing to set up a flag with my dear Da in the hot springs!!"

Naiako, who was only wrapped around a bath towel, did not shy away from coming up and hugged Yakumo Mo's arm.

The delicate body under the surface of the water was clinging to Yakumo Mo's body, almost making him choke on a big mouthful of water.

"Boy, Kezi is here to let the boy conceive Kezi's child."

The red-haired and ponytailed evil god girl also came over.

On the other side, Murasaki, who didn't mind exposing her perfect body to the air, sat on the rocks by the bath, holding a parasol and looking at Yakumo with a grin.

In the sun, purple skin shines like crystal. The jade-like bare feet played with the water, and occasionally deliberately kicked a splash at Yakumo Mo.

"Ah, doesn't Mo'er dislike us?"

"Hmm...... Nosebleeds ......"

The surface of the hot springs tends to turn red...... (To be continued......)
