From ancient times to the present, humans and youkai are two groups in opposing positions, and compared to fragile humans, youkai with strong strength have always had an absolute advantage.

Humans deserve only to be their food.

At the time, there were quite a few youkai who thought so.

However, facts have proved that the law of life is absolutely fair for all life. While gaining great power, youkai are far from being comparable to humans in terms of numbers.

With the continuous progress of human beings, the scope and speed of their expansion are developing rapidly, and the once strong people, those monsters, with the continuous shrinking of the living space, were once forced to a precarious point.

In view of this, some youkai have put forward opinions to take the initiative to start a war and weaken the power of humans. However, this mention was vetoed by some far-sighted monsters, because it didn't do any good for humans or monsters.

Not to mention whether you can win or not, even if you win, the monster's side will be greatly damaged. War is a cause of more harm than good for both sides.

In order to avoid further escalation of the conflict between the two sides, the youkai chose several of the most famous great yokai called "sages" to visit the dragon god, hoping that he could help them. And after thinking about it for a long time, the dragon god finally agreed to their request. He enclosed a piece of land in this country with an enchantment, cutting off the connection between the inside and the outside, and making it independent from the outside world.

And this land closed by the enchantment is Gensokyo.

Gensokyo was established, but it was not very stable, and it needed to be maintained regularly in order not to cause problems. It's just that the dragon god's whereabouts are erratic, and he rarely stays in the same place for too long. To do this, He entrusted a part of his power to someone chosen by the sages.

A monster girl named Tsuki-lin.

Although she is still very young, she already has quite a lot of strength, and as a youkai, she has a long lifespan, which should be very suitable for the job of defending Gensokyo.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and as the number of yokai increased, the humans who originally inhabited the area encountered an unprecedented crisis.

They were mercilessly hunted by the youkai.

The balance between humans and youkai is disrupted by Yan zhòng.

Originally, the dragon god had hoped that Yin Yuelin could come forward to deal with this problem, but to his disappointment, the situation had not improved at all until the end, and the human race was forced to a small place, surviving for a long time.

For the sake of Gensokyo, Ryujin had to take back the power that existed in order to maintain the "Fantasy Great Enchantment" from Zen Yuelin, and handed it over to another human girl who was also extraordinary, she had repelled the attacks of the monsters on the human village many times, and it can be said that without her, Gensokyo would have been without human beings.

And this girl finally became the first generation of shrine maidens at Hakurei Shrine.

That is, the first generation of Hakurei shrine maiden.

"And then?"

A few people listened to it with relish, and even Reimu had never heard of these things.

"It's a pity that Lin she can't accept this decision of Lord Ryujin.,In order to regain what once belonged to her.,Since the first generation,,She has successively challenged each generation of Hakurei shrine maidens.,Several times even endangered the lives of some shrine maidens.。 Eventually, her ignorance angered Ryujin-sama and sealed her underground at Hakurei Shrine. ”

Yakumo Zi said, feeling embarrassed in his heart.

"Oh. ”

It dawned on everyone.

It seems that due to the impact of the "Holy Boat", the seal of the dragon god was broken, and it was only after the moon that he woke up from a hundred years of slumber.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen at that time!"

Ibuki Suyaka couldn't help but sigh again and again, she was wandering around the world during that time, and her connection with this place had been severed. When they came back, the Tengu clan had another problem, and they didn't have time or mood to ask about these things.

"I'm not wrong, it's Ryujin-sama. ”

It was difficult for her to understand why she had been given up by the dragon god like this, and she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all.

"Watch your words and deeds, Tsuneki. ”

Unexpectedly, she dared to say such a thing about the dragon god, and Yakumo Zi's face immediately sank.

"Yes, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude. ”

Realizing that his words were indeed too presumptuous, Yin Yuelin couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"Lin, you have to understand the original intention of Lord Ryujin to entrust Gensokyo to you. ”

"I just can't figure it out.,Gensokyo was originally founded by us youkai to protect ourselves.。 But why is it that He wants me to help those human beings now? Don't forget, it's because of those guys that we're like this. ”

"Do you still hate humans so much?"

"Yes, very, very hateful. ”

Yan Yuelin clenched his fists hard and said through gritted teeth.

"If it weren't for them, my father wouldn't have lost his life. ”

"That's all he has to blame. ”

"Is it your own fault that in your eyes, my father, who almost sacrificed a qiē for his kind, was treated like this by you?"

"You've changed, Yakumo Murasaki, you've completely changed since you met that woman. ”

"In the past, you would never have said anything like 'to protect humanity'. ”

"You traitor to the monsters. ”

"Enough. ”

The air currents made of demonic power raged wildly, and even this shrine began to make strange noises of pain, and every qiē in the room shook violently, and a vase placed on the counter suddenly fell down, and it was shattered instantly.

The crisp sound woke Yakumo Shishi.

"I'm sorry. ”

Looking at Yin Yuelin, who was so frightened that she turned pale, she felt very guilty in her heart.

It may be the first time to see Yakumo Zifa with such a big temper, and she was stunned for a long time, but she couldn't recover from the fright.

I don't dare to talk about what I just happened anymore.

"You should be aware, Rin, from the very beginning, I didn't approve of you being the guardian of Gensokyo. ”

Yakumo said faintly.

"Hmm. ”

Of course, it was clear to her that among the sages who recommended herself to become the guardian of Gensokyo, Yakumo Purple was not included, and she chose to remain silent at that time. 冴月麟 has never forgotten the deep helplessness in Jì Yakumo Zi's eyes at that time, so she wants to work hard to get her approval.

"Because I don't think you're worthy. ”

Yan Yuelin's eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, even when she saw that the dragon god was about to seal herself, Yakumo Zi didn't say a word about it, she didn't feel so desperate.

"Why?"

"Because your prejudice against humanity is too great. As a guardian, he turned a blind eye to the life and death of humans, and even allowed other monsters to attack humans. ”

It is true that her strength is one of the best among the big youkai, but as a person who guards Gensokyo, it is not enough to have strength.

"What's wrong with a monster attacking a human? This is our way of living, and a monster that doesn't attack people is still a monster?"

Facing Yan Yuelin's rebuttal, Yakumo Zi shook her head in extreme disappointment.

"You still, don't understand anything. ”

"It's you who doesn't understand. As a big youkai, how do you know the pain of those weak youkai, if you don't eat humans, they will become weaker and weaker, and eventually they will die because they lose all their strength. Have you ever seen how many youkai did not attack humans, but helped them, only to be brutally hurt by them? ”

"So have you ever thought about how many human beings have been ruined by the attack of the monsters? That's why I said that you are naïve in your thinking, and you can't protect Gensokyo if you only consider one-sided feelings. ”

Yakumo Zi and Yan Yuelin stared at each other nonchalantly, and neither had any intention of taking a step back.

It feels like a mother and daughter who are arguing because of a disagreement.

"For me, it's best if all the human beings are dead. ”

"You idiot, why don't you understand what I'm saying......?

Yakumo's expression changed suddenly, she blinked, and suddenly stood up.

"I'm a little tired, Dongfang, you can tell me for me. ”

"What?me?"

I asked, pointing to myself with a stunned expression.

"Go ahead. ”

Reimu slammed into the force and pushed me away.

"Really, how do I know how to explain it?"

This guy threw me a mess that he couldn't clean up by himself, it's too casual.

With a stomach full of dissatisfaction, I stood up.

"Purple, are you alright?"

Looking at Yakumo Purple sitting down next to him, Reimu asked worriedly.

"It's really bad to lose my temper, it makes me feel a little unstable. ”

Yakumo Zi rubbed the root of his nose and smiled helplessly.

"This kid has been a headache for me since before. ”

"Really?"

Seeing that her expression was as usual, Reimu didn't think much about it.

It's just that what she didn't notice was that the five fingers of Yakumo Zi's other hand were twitching unnaturally.

Seeing that the person sitting in front of him was replaced by me, Yin Yuelin took a few steps back.

It feels like you've encountered a flood beast!

"Sit closer, I can't guarantee you can hear it so far!"

I said to her angrily.

"It's okay, I can hear it here. ”

Yin Yuelin shook her head and said, it seems that what I did just now left a lot of shadow on her.

What a fragile guy.

"Okay, I'll just follow up on the topic and I'll explain to you why humans are essential in Gensokyo. ”

"Human, essential?"

Yin Yuelin felt that this guy must be talking nonsense, how could such a weak creature be indispensable?

"That's right, the most important thing here is not youkai, not goblins, not gods, but those humans who have almost no power. Do you know why?"

The girl shook her head very honestly.

"Because there is a need to maintain balance. ”

I said to her loudly.

"Gensokyo is like a scale, with youkai and gods on one end and humans on the other. If the monsters attack humans excessively, then this balance will be upset, the scales will be topple, and everything above will cease to exist. ”

"I protested. ”

Yan Yuelin suddenly raised her hand unconvinced.

"How can humans be our equals!"

"Stupid, this has nothing to do with the difference in power. ”

I sent a strong wind on my fingers and taught this simple-minded guy a lesson.

"Once the humans here are slaughtered, there is only one fate for the youkai who lose their target. ”

"What's going on?"

The person who asked the question was not Tsukiharin who was sulking on his forehead, but Ibuki Sumuka who had been thinking about something.

I glanced at them and smiled strangely.

"That is, extermination. ”
