Chapter 19: The Prelude to the War

As Yakumo Purple's Shikigami, many times Yakumo Lan is performing a role similar to a nanny, of course, this is also because of some personality reasons of the owner.

But Yakumo Purple is a very assertive master, and rarely, or rather, Yakumo Lan has hardly questioned her decision, but this does not mean that Yakumo Purple will understand the meaning of every decision of Yakumo Murasaki.

"Lady Zi, wouldn't it be too rash to do this?" Yakumo Lan, who was guarding the other side of the gap, couldn't help but show a worried look after knowing the reason for Yakumo's return.

"Imprudent? Maybe. Yakumo Purple just dealt with two sentences casually, and didn't seem to take it to heart.

"With all due respect, Lord Zi, Miss Jing is obviously deliberately trying to pull you away from the moon."

"I know." Yakumo said calmly.

"You know?" Yakumo Lan was surprised: "Then why did you come back?" ”

Yakumo Zi smiled and asked, "If we don't come back, how do we know what will happen next?" ”

"......" Yakumo Blue was silent, and I have to say that this is extremely in line with Yakumo's purple style answer.

Combined with the "reminder" of the previous generation of witch Jing, coupled with the previous incident of Yayi Yonglin looking for Yakumo Zi, it is not difficult to judge that there are other parties' collaborators in Gensokyo, but they don't have any clues.

Maybe it was also a solution to take down the witch Jing in one fell swoop on the moon surface with thunder methods, but Yakumo Purple didn't do this, and chose another path.

As a monster who often works behind the scenes, Yakumo Purple is used to braking with stillness, first seeing the cards in the opponent's hand, and then acting, so even if he knew the witch Jing's thoughts, Yakumo Purple deliberately did what the other party wanted.

"By the way, what's going on over there with Bayi Yonglin? Doesn't she have something to do with us? ”

"This ......" Yakumo Blue looked hesitant and said uncertainly, "She's gone." ”

"Gone?" Yakumo was not very satisfied with this answer.

"I'm very sorry," Yakumo Lan also looked ashamed, "After Yayi Yonglin went to hell, I couldn't find her again." ”

"Really?" After listening, Yakumo's face was slightly solemn.

"Moreover, there is one more thing to inform Lord Purple."

"And, what's the matter?"

"That's ......" Yakumo Lan paused, and said in a slightly deep tone: "After Yayi Yonglin disappeared, Mianyue Fengji appeared in Gensokyo. ”

“...... Toyohime Mianyue? Yakumo was stunned, why did that guy appear here, no, how did she get into Gensokyo before this?

......

......

Regret...... I guess that's how I feel right now.

It seems that it was because the days of peace had passed for a long time, which made her not take a heavy hand to understand everything in the first place, which is why she is in such trouble as she is now.

"See you on a moonlit night, you're here too." Once upon a time, like-minded friends have finally become enemies who share the sky, and Bayi Yonglin couldn't help but sigh with embarrassment.

Tied his long scattered hair into a neat ponytail, the moonlit night saw that he never escaped the gaze of Bayi Yonglin: "Since Lord Chang'e was imprisoned in Guanghan Palace, I have been waiting for this day. ”

"Oh?" As he spoke, Bayi Yonglin squinted, but he didn't see Mianyue Fengji's figure as far as he could see.

"Feng Ji is not here," Yue Yejian read Bayi Yonglin's thoughts, and said lightly: "This space is specially prepared for you and me, don't worry, there will be no one else to disturb you." ”

"Where did she go?"

"She has more important work to do."

"Then the question is simple, get out of the way for me, and see you on a moonlit night."

"I'm sorry, that can't be done." Pure white light emanated from the body of the moonlit night, one turned into the armor that guarded her, one turned into the wings that held her up, and one turned into the weapon in her hand.

The surging aura blew up Bayi Yonglin's hair, and she lowered her eyes coldly and said, "You, is this trying to hinder me?" ”

"It's not wise to ask questions about what is already known, and my presence here is a clear declaration of battle." Wearing the armor of light, the moonlit night saw an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, like a person from the outside world who jumped out of the five elements.

Compared with the gorgeousness of being ready to go on a moonlit night, Bayi Yonglin only has a simple bow and an arrow.

"I've always been grateful to you, for all that you've done, whether it's the faith you brought to the people of the moon or the knowledge you taught them."

Yueyejian's tone was soft, but the firmness in his eyes never wavered: "It is precisely because of this that I will not let this become meaningless history, Yonglin, I admire your loyalty to Lord Chang'e, but unfortunately, I am loyal to more than that adult." ”

"It's a shame that you're a traitor to say these things shamelessly." Bayi Yonglin said sarcastically.

Seeing that the moon night had not heard of it, she continued: "I am the king, the king of the people of the moon, and I am the one who led them to the moon, so I must fulfill my duties as a king. ”

"Really? Then you won't forget, right? The corners of Bayi Yonglin's mouth hooked up a cold arc, and he said word by word: "God gives the king authority, and the king uses it to rule his subjects, this is the correct historical rule." ”

"Indeed, if it weren't for the existence of Lord Chang'e, there would definitely be no Moon People today, so I said, I thank you for everything, but ...... I am their king after all. ”

The moonlit night saw her eyes down, and there was a faint sadness in her tone: "I can't watch them walk into the abyss. ”

"There is no gratuitous miracle in this world, it is their unchangeable fate."

"Do you want me to watch?" The moonlit night saw a low and angry voice, at this moment she was like a wounded beast, and her eyes contained a deep sadness and hatred.

"That's right, just to keep you watching."

After a long silence, he closed his eyes on a moonlit night: "...... I'm sorry, I can't. ”

The words fell, and the figure seen in the moonlit night suddenly disappeared, leaving only a crackling sound that could not reach the ears in the distance, and the pure white lightsaber that was waved cut the distance in an instant, leaving only a crack like glass slag in the air.

"Ahem!"

The blood bursting out of her throat made Bayi Yonglin's gaze even deeper, and she glanced down at her left hand, which had been slightly twisted because of the blow just now, she closed her eyes and let out a long breath: "Is this your answer?" ”

"Yes," Yue Yejian calmly pulled out the arrow that pierced his right shoulder, and raised his sword to Bayi Yonglin again: "As long as I live for one day, I will never let Lord Chang'e activate the Moon Ritual, even if it is necessary to kill her because of this." ”

"Looks like you've made up your mind."

"Exactly."

“...... Poor guy," Bayi Yonglin slowly repaired his injured left hand with spiritual power, and his eyes fell indifferently on the moonlit night, as if he was looking at a corpse: "I didn't expect you, as the king of the moon, to die here." ”

"Hahaha, maybe," Yue Yejian suddenly showed a happy smile, as if he had been like that, even if he already knew the ending, but he still said unconvincedly: "But don't underestimate me, Yonglin, at least when I'm alive, you can't go anywhere!" ”

"......" Bayi Yonglin looked at her lightly, did not speak, the plucked arrow string made a low sound, and after sending the arrow, what seemed to be left was a faint sigh.
