"Welcome back - whoa?! What a heavy smell of wine! ”

Yuko, who heard the demon say that Wu Ye was back, happily ran to the door to greet her, but when she saw it, she was almost fainted by a sound of alcohol, and she complained: "Ah Long, aren't you a minor?" How did you drink so much alcohol? ”

"It's not me! Didn't I get a drop of wine from start to finish? With that, Takeya turned sideways and let Yuko see the source of the wine, which turned out to be someone on his back.

"Huh? I remember she wasn't ......"

After seeing the person clearly, Yuko was stunned for a moment, and then said gloomily: "Takeya, according to the laws of Kyoto, robbing a woman from a good family without permission is punishable by exile. ”

“......”

"But don't worry, since we are friends, even if you become a scumbag, I will try to help you keep it a secret."

"On purpose, you bastard! Look clearly, this guy is sunny! ”

In the end, Takeya and Yuko had a nonsensical quarrel, and the two finally dragged the drunk Qingming to the guest room......

Wu Ye never thought that Qingming, who drank like a man heroically, drank so badly, and the two of them were chatting happily with each other, but she suddenly fell to the ground, which really scared Wu Ye.

Originally, looking at her drinking, she had to be a character who couldn't pour a thousand glasses, but who knew that she would be unconscious after just a pot of wine.

And this guy's wine doesn't seem to be very good, and after being dragged up by Wu Ye, he seems to be leaning on him and not leaving, I wanted to find someone to send her back, but hell, when I heard that it was Qingming, she actually ran away.

At first, Wu Ye only speculated that her popularity was bad, but later I learned that she was really so bad that her popularity was not good, and he was the only friend in Kyoto, so it wasn't a joke.

At the critical time, the old man didn't know where to go, but Wu couldn't get rid of Qingming, and no one was willing to help, so he had to carry Qingming all the way back to Yuko.

The banquet lasted from morning to evening, and by the time Takeya and Yuko had settled in the sunshine, it was dark.

"Whew, I'm tired." Takeya lay down on the tatami mat with a grin, and it was too hard to even move an extra finger.

"Good work, please." Yuuko handed a cup of tea to her side.

"Thank you," turned over and drank the tea, Wu also smashed his mouth, and his mental fatigue suddenly decreased a lot: "Anyway, why did you come back so early, aren't you the protagonist?" ”

"Who said the protagonist can't quit early?" Yuko shrugged and said, "That banquet is boring and contrived, if it weren't for Lord Kamo's constant dragging, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago,"

"Kamo-sama?"

"Lord Kamo Tadayuki, the leader of the Onmyoji, is that old man."

"Oh, it's him."

Wu also suddenly realized, no wonder this name sounds familiar, in the original history he was Qingming's master, it is still interesting, and later generations commented that the greatest achievement of this onmyoji in his life is actually to cultivate such a legend as Qingming.

"Speaking of which, how does it feel, Takeya?"

When there is no one around, Yuko will call Takeya by her real name, only to see her quip, "How does it feel to be a hero?" I've seen a lot of people adore you. ”

"Who's a hero, let's talk about it first, I haven't done anything." Takeya had a dark face and deliberately added an accent to the words that he didn't do anything.

That's the case, it was Qingming who found out that the youkai defeated the youkai, and he really didn't do anything.

"Eh-" Yuko said unexpectedly, "I thought you must be happy, but you fought off a big youkai, that's a big youkai." ”

"So what, the people who investigated the troops didn't end up dead, besides, they just repelled a youkai that invaded near Kyoto, isn't it a bit too much for them to celebrate like that."

Yuko paused, and the frivolity in her eyes was much less in the next second: "I think this is because Wuya is too strong in your relationship, do you know how much it costs to face the battle against youkai before this?" ”

“...... Sorry, I took it for granted. ”

What's to be said is that not every Onmyoji has the strength to take the big monster as seriously as Qingming did, and most Onmyoji have the possibility of dying even if they encounter an ordinary monster, let alone others.

What terrible times.

Takeshi was silent and let out a wordless sigh, why fight? For the sake of territory or for survival? Or is it for those illusory reputations?

Wu also doesn't understand that human beings in this era are born with a mission, that is, to fight monsters, otherwise they will be buried in their womb, but is the reality really so difficult to reconcile?

Yokai feed on humans, but they don't have to be humans, and what they need is not just human life, but their fear.

And do humans have to fight against youkai? The singing and dancing that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto is not a fake, and it seems that humans who live in common sense and people who fight in extraordinary knowledge are in completely different worlds.

The contradictions of the past few hundred and thousands of years have not been as intense as they are today, so can't everyone calm down and talk about it? It's like when you were in Gensokyo...... Wait, Gensokyo?

Takeya looked at Yuko and hesitated again before asking, "Yuko, do you know Gensokyo?" ”

"Huh?" Yuuko blinked blankly and asked, "What's that?" Is it the name of your hometown, Takeya? ”

"No, it's a ......" frowned, and Wu Ye thought for a long time alone before he explained with such words: "Paradise of youkai." ”

"Huh? What is that? ”

"It's a world where youkai and humans can live in peace, and it's a paradise that separates youkai from humans outside."

Listening to Takeya's words, Yuko's pupils have been slowly contracting, and she forced a smile: "Sounds interesting, is this a fairy tale somewhere?" ”

"No, this is what I've seen, I've seen it with my own eyes," Takeya lowered his voice and said extremely seriously: "Yuko, you tell me, is there really no way for everyone to live in peace?" There is no need for much harmony, just to avoid such endless fighting. ”

Wu is not an adult, but this does not mean that he is still a child, he will never be naïve enough to delusionally dream about the happy future of hello, me, everyone, yes, if it is just him.

But the reality is not like this, he saw it, he really saw it, in the future of a thousand years, there are both monsters and humans, no one has exterminated anyone, they live in two different worlds.

That's Paradise.

Gensokyo is a veritable paradise, not only for youkai, but also for humans, because the emergence of Gensokyo has stripped the concept of yokai from human society, and one side of the fight has disappeared, which directly brings the war between the two sides to an end.

The youkai in Gensokyo will no longer be demobilized for no reason, and the humans outside Gensokyo will no longer have to worry about becoming food for youkai.

Takeshi can also say with certainty that the appearance of Gensokyo is not only good news for youkai, but also a blessing for mankind, as it has achieved eternal peace for the two races.

"Wu Ye, do you really think so? Can humans and youkai live in peace? ”
