"Coming back? So soon, I thought you wouldn't be back until at least the evening. ”

"What a delicate time, why?"

"With the laziness of that guy in the dream, that torii must not have been repaired."

"Sure enough, you did it on purpose! Bastard Yuko! Let me pay off your debts! ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Takeya, who returned to the Xixing Mansion early, could probably only lament his innocence in addition to seeing Yuko's belly black again.

"Here, tea." With a flattering smile, Yuko handed Takeya a cup of tea, did she think that a mere cup of tea could eliminate her resentment? Heh - in fact, Yuko's tea is quite delicious.

A cup of tea melted away the scorching summer heat, and Wu also felt a lot calmer.

"By the way," putting down the teacup, Wu also asked curiously: "When I came back, I saw that the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, what happened?" ”

"Huh? Takeya, don't you know yet? I thought Harumi must have told you," Glancing at Takeya in surprise, Yuko said calmly, "Those are all businessmen, and it's a common thing." ”

"What is the case?"

"It's their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and when they hear that youkai are coming, they naturally won't stay in Kyoto."

"Didn't the youkai come a long time ago?"

"No, look at this." As she spoke, Yuko took a long letter, which was more appropriate than a report, because it was so long that it was still as thick as a fingertip after being folded several times.

Takeya took it and flipped through it carefully, and then said to Yuko seriously: "I don't understand." ”

“......”

In desperation, Yuko had to explain the content of the letter to Takeya in person, which can be summed up in one sentence - another city has fallen.

This is shocking news, you must know that they just repelled the Tengu troops who came to reconnoiter yesterday, and what kind of fairy operation is it to lose ground today?

"Well, it's actually a mistake in intelligence." Yuko's tone suddenly became a little awkward.

After some explanations from her, Takeya understood the problem, it turned out that the Fumiwen he and Harumi repelled yesterday was not a "reconnaissance force" at all, but the vanguard of the youkai who came to show off their might near Kyoto after the victory.

Earlier, the youkai had made a surprise attack plan, and with their strong strength and various strange abilities, the youkai easily cut off most of the outposts north of Kyoto, and by the time Kyoto got the news, the northern land had already fallen.

And Wenwen and the others just accidentally ran into the human reconnaissance force when they came out to "walk", and then were retired by Qingming by the way.

On the surface, this is indeed a hard-won victory for mankind, but in fact it is not much worse, but it comes with the bad news of the total destruction of the Northland.

The fall of Northland meant that there was no other city to defend Kyoto, and the extravagant capital would become the front line against the yokai.

"No wonder those merchants are running away." Wu also sighed with emotion.

Naturally, the front-line cities are not too safe, and although the strongest forces of the human race are concentrated here, the merchants always have to leave themselves a way back.

Yuko didn't have any surprises at this, as if she was used to it, and even joked: "Takeya, if you have something you want, you can definitely buy it at the cheapest price in the market now." ”

"You're pretty open-minded."

"Isn't there anything strange about it, isn't it sooner or later?"

Yuko is not surprised because she is a good friend of Yakumo Murasaki, so she must have an intuitive understanding of the strength of youkai, and in contrast, it is natural that humans are losing and retreating.

Although Wu also knew the gap between the two, he still didn't expect it.

I didn't expect humanity to fall so quickly.

However, thanks to the speed of the youkai's advance, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can meet Yakumo Murasaki...... Although this idea seems a bit heartless, it can't be helped, he didn't come to be a savior.

Besides, anyway, according to the trend of history, human beings will win in the end, and it will be over waiting for the monsters to lose by themselves, and there will be nothing to show off.

After comforting himself with selfish thoughts, Takeya found that his depressed state of mind did not seem to be relieved.

"What's the matter, Wu Ye, with a sad face."

Yuko filled the cups of both of them with tea, and comforted them meaningfully: "Don't worry, at least this Kyoto will not fall." ”

"So confident? Purple, cough, you've seen the strength of the monster sage, right? There is such a powerful army, I admit that Qingming is outrageously strong, but can she still stop all the monsters alone? ”

"You're right, no matter how strong Qingming is, it's no match for the monster army."

"Then why are you still -"

"But what if the youkai themselves don't have the intention of attacking Kyoto?" Yuko smiled slyly and said pointedly, "You know, Purple is the youkai sage who leads them. ”

"Ah.......h

I remember that Yuuko seemed to have said something like this to herself yesterday - "Purple she thinks the same way".

That is to say, it is not only the whimsical Yuko who hopes for peace, but also the youkai sage Yakumo Murasaki who daydreams with her.

Then it's a delicate situation, isn't it? You must know that if Yakumo Zi plays seriously, it is not impossible to send away the entire youkai coalition.

Could it be that this is the purpose of Yuko and Yakumo Murasaki? A lose-lose outcome in exchange for peace?

"Looks like you've guessed what we're going to do."

Takeya was silent for a moment, and after confirming that Yuko was not joking, he said, "...... Yuko, let's not talk about how many difficulties this method has in terms of implementation, just talk about the success rate, how much do you think it can be? ”

"Less than twenty percent."

"Wrong, it's not even a percent."

Takeya personally smashed Yuko's luck, and said in a deep voice: "You should know, you should understand that the war between monsters and humans is not something that will stop if one side loses ground, and once the war starts, it will never stop until one side is extinct." ”

Yuko's idea is simply playing with fire, a runaway carriage is definitely not for those in the car to stop, and its only ending is to rush off a cliff and fall to pieces.

"I know." Yuko looked directly at Takeya and said, "So, I hope you can help me." ”

"Me?" Wu was also stunned, could it be that Yuko was thinking-

"Gensokyo."

As if seizing the only light at the end of the night, Yuuko said word by word: "The ideal world you described, I want to reproduce it, here!" ”
