"Long time no see...... Although we wanted to say so, we didn't expect to meet again so soon, Yonglin. ”

"yes, I really don't want to see you again if I could, Yakumo Murasaki."

Shortly after Takeya's departure, the Forever Pavilion welcomed a new guest, the realm youkai Yakumo Murasaki.

Yakumo Murasaki, who could have manipulated the gap to come and go freely in Gensokyo, shouldn't be counted as a guest, because she always came uninvited, but this time she really didn't come to the door by herself.

"It's really surprising to us, Yonglin, you actually came to find us."

The two sat face to face in the tea room as if they were isolated from the world, and Yakumo Zi looked around for a week before he smiled:

But isn't that rude? Obviously, you are looking for us, but now you let the guests come to the door by themselves. ”

"I can apologize if you think it's wrong."

Yonglin's eyes drooped slightly, avoiding Yakumo Zi's gaze, and gently fiddled with the tea set on the table:

"But if you want me to go to your place, it will never be possible."

"Why? Could it be that Yonglin is questioning our character? ”

Yakumo Zi put his hands on his cheeks, and his curved eyes flashed with a strange light:

"When did our relationship become so stiff, you must know that we used to be good friends who talked about everything."

"Your ability to talk nonsense is really getting stronger day by day, Yakumo Murasaki, we've never had the word 'trust' between us, we've always used each other, haven't we?"

Yonglin glanced at Yakumo Zi with a little meaning, and after a pause, he smiled:

"Forget it, there will be time to say these words in the future, and I came to you today because I want to ask you."

"Please?"

Yakumo Zi took out the folding fan, and the meaning of banter was indispensable in his scrutinizing eyes:

"Yonglin would actually say such a thing to us."

"It seems that this statement is not appropriate, I should say that it is right to notify you."

Not caring about Yakumo Zi's sarcastic ridicule, Yonglin said lightly:

"I'm a little interested in Wu Yejun's affairs."

"Oh?"

The meaning of playfulness in Yakumo's purple words is heavier, but his eyes are quietly corrected:

"Is Yonglin finally going to confront her sinful sexuality? I actually want to shoot at such a 'little' child. ”

"Hehe, if you want to take advantage of your tongue, take advantage of it now."

Yonglin focused on the tea in his hand, not caring at all about Yakumo Zi's cynicism:

"Something, I'd like to investigate something on him."

"Okay, whatever you want."

Yakumo Zi sighed lightly, as if she was relieved, Yonglin's unmoved attitude made her sing a one-man show alone, which was somewhat too boring:

"Anyway, we can't stop what you want to do, can we?"

"You're too modest."

Yonglin raised his head, met Yakumo Zi's calm gaze, and said in a slightly cold tone:

"I'm going to bother me if you're in the way, aren't I?"

"I will accept this sentence as a compliment."

Hearing Yonglin's tone change, the smile in Yakumo's purple eyes became stronger:

"So as a price to pay for turning a blind eye, you can tell us, what exactly do you want to investigate?"

"Do you need to talk about this?"

Yonglin smiled and said:

"Of course it's impossible."

"W-that's stingy."

"However, if I don't say anything, it seems that I am not sincere."

Yonglin's words changed:

"Okay, I'll just ask straight to the point, have you never doubted anything when things have developed to this point? Yakumo Purple. ”

"It's scary, is something bad going on?"

"Huh."

Yakumo Zi's indifference was in Yonglin's expectation, this youkai was not the type to deal with with his thoughts on his face.

But no matter whether the other party cares or not, she won't reveal a word about what shouldn't be said, but she won't deliberately hide some things that should be reminded.

"I've been concerned since the last time you found out about our presence in the Lost Bamboo Forest."

Yonglin's tone was uncertain, and gradually drifted away with his gaze:

"Ancient magic engraved on comets, mysterious magic spears that contain god-killing powers, and remnants of the past that have been hidden in the abyss of the old hell for so long......"

With a finger on the table, there was a regular rhythmic sound, and after counting all the strange things that had happened recently, Yonglin closed his eyes lightly:

"If you want to say that all this is a coincidence, I really can't believe that it is an accident, that is, it is inevitable."

“......”

Yakumo Zi was silent, she didn't know what Yonglin said, but even so, could she definitely find any clues in Wu Ye's body?

In this regard, she is seventeen years ahead of Yonglin, and she doesn't think that the "secret" that she can't discover will really exist, and even be discovered by Yonglin, unless .......

From the beginning, they had different starting points.

"Youkai Sage, I'm talking about you."

Faced with Yakumo's questioning gaze, Yonglin neither admitted nor denied it, but instead used a very unfamiliar title to address her, and asked a strange question:

"Do you believe that there is an ability to predict the future? Or, is there some kind of ability that can change the past? ”

“...... Are you suspicious of that hell crow? ”

Yayun Zi frowned slightly, there was so much trouble in the Earth Spirit Palace, and she was usually used to paying attention to Wu Ye's daily life, and she already knew the things in her notes.

"Hell Raven, huh?"

Yonglin glanced at Yakumo Purple unexpectedly, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face:

"Well, even if it's her, so do you believe it? There is an ability that transcends time and space to exist in this world. ”

"Yes, if it stands to reason, we wouldn't believe it, but ......"

Thinking of the content on Akong's note that was so strongly directed, Yakumo Zi's face was a little cloudy:

"Half and half, we can't be sure."

"Hehe, then since that's the case, I'll tell you that such abilities exist."

Yakumo's purple pupils shrank, and he only listened to Yonglin say firmly:

"So I can be sure that the one with this ability will definitely not be the 'hell crow', and will never have anything to do with her, this is a conceptual gap, and speculation and arrogance are both disrespectful."

After saying such a long paragraph without breathing, Yonglin paused slightly, and then suddenly smiled:

"Speaking of which, I have a proposal, would you like to consider it?"

Without waiting for Yakumo Zi to answer, Yonglin took a step forward and spoke first:

"Are you interested in working hard again for your unfinished business? Alliance Leader? ”

“...... Bayi Yonglin, what exactly do you want to say? ”

Everyone has many names for Yakumo Purple, monster sage, realm monster, but only the title of "alliance leader" has not been mentioned for a long time.

Because this is the honorific title used by the monsters when Yakumo Purple played with the realm of fantasy and reality to launch a lunar war.

"Don't be so careful, I really want to work with you once."

Yonglin smiled faintly:

"In order to determine something, I had to go up there myself."

As she spoke, she pointed to the moon in the sky outside that had not yet risen.

"I'm alone, and the risk of exposure is too great, so please, gather all those who like to be lively, and it's fun to travel to the moon once in a while, isn't it?"
