"Shouldn't we be happy to celebrate our encounter, Takeya."

It's still the world full of "holes", and the cherry-colored girl walks slowly in the frozen sunset with her hands behind her back.

"Yuko......"

When the name was called, Takeya's tone unconsciously became melancholy, and when he came back to his senses, he secretly laughed at his pretense.

He reached out and ruffled his hair, wiping his face before putting his smile back on: "Welcome back." ”

"I'm back."

With her outstretched arms around Takeya's neck, Yuuko gave him a hug of reunion, but she didn't choose to let the warmth stay.

Quietly staring into Takeya's eyes, Yuko let out a faint sigh for a long time: "Although we won this time, it is not yet time to really relax." ”

“...... Did we win? Takeya asked this sentence faintly, and for a moment even Yuko fell into a short silence.

Yes, although Takeya crossed that desperate distance and returned to this Gensokyo from the exiled world again, he still felt so far away when he remembered the word "victory".

At least until that golden guy is completely wiped out, Wu will never dare to put these two words on his lips.

Ignorance may be forgiven, but arrogance is ignorance.

"Win," Yuko said solemnly after the silence, but added, "This time." ”

"Really?"

Takeya's tone didn't change relaxed, he looked at the world behind Yuko, this was a "strange" place, he knew it since the last time he was here.

Neither from the world he knew, nor from the world of exile.

"This is a world without a name," reading the meaning in Takeya's eyes, Yuko took the initiative to explain, "Unlike the world we were created, this is the same as the 'real world', which naturally exists. ”

"However, there seems to be no trace of anyone else's activity here." Takeya looked at the world around him, puzzled.

"Maybe there were...... Yuko also looked around, the unchanging sunset seemed to have an extra hazy veil, and the more she tried to see through it, the more she fell into it.

After a pause, Yuko turned her back, looked at the empty auditorium, and said, "This is probably the closest place to Levenanta." ”

“...... You know? Takeya looked at Yuko's back in surprise.

Levianta.

He had heard this name, just after the battle between him and Luo Tianshu, from the mouth of the girl named Dantrian beside him.

And he seems to be called by the other party the same as Luo Tianshu's "descendant of Levianta".

"Yes, I know some, but not completely."

Yuko said calmly, and also said a fact that shocked Takeya: "It's not just the dream world that connects our Gensokyo to the real world...... You can also do it here. ”

"What are you talking about...... "Wu Ye was stunned, doesn't this mean that this place will also become the entrance to the other party's invasion?

"Don't worry, I told you, this is the world inside the Westward Demon, and the so-called connection refers to the fact that the space between the two worlds is connected, and even that person doesn't know this."

Yuko's explanation dispelled Takeya's worries, and then she said: "I have come here since I was devoured by the Westward Demon, Takeya, you, and that immortal, have all been here, but you are all gone, only I can't leave, so with curiosity, I tried to go to the depths of this world, but I didn't expect ......"

Turning around, Yuko stared into Takeya's eyes and said word by word, "I saw it, the other 'me'." ”

"Is it Miss Yuyuko?" Takeshi guessed.

"No," Yuuko shook her head and said, "It's the 'Yuko' who exists in the 'real world'. ”

"Another, Yuko......"

"Yes, although there is no way to leave from here, I passed through the Westbound Demon here to the Westbound Demon over there, and I also saw another 'me' who was sealed in it."

After a sigh, Yuko said, "It's really amazing, although we are similar to theirs in the trajectory of history, but there are even more terrible secrets hidden in the 'me' over there. ”

"What is it?" Wu also moved his throat, and couldn't help but lift his heart that had just been slightly relieved.

Yuko didn't say it directly, but suddenly mentioned an old saying: "Our Gensokyo is a replica of their Gensokyo, and everyone here is a copy, even Takeya, you are no exception, you've seen it, the 'Takeya' who lives in Gensokyo over there." ”

"Well......." Wu didn't really want to mention it, even if he followed the "evil" awakening in his heart and became the embodiment of greed, but the guilt in his heart for Gensokyo in the "real world" still did not dissipate.

Whether it is hypocrisy or crocodile tears, there are always a few scattered depressions in his heart.

"Theoretically, we, as replicas, don't do anything that deviates from the 'setting', everything we do is prescribed, but there is one exception, and that is the miraculous intersection between the two worlds."

Yuko's eyes were filled with a bit of sad nostalgia: "The first generation of Hakurei shrine maiden, Jing, it was in that unobservable miracle intersection that she came into contact with the existence of the real world, which led to the future of our world being deviated from the original trajectory. ”

"Sister-sama......" Takeya lowered his eyes, as if he could still recall the warm back that always guarded him in front of him.

"However, there is more than one such miracle, and so am I." Yuuko closed her eyes and said slowly.

"Yuko, have you ever been to that world?"

"No, Takeya, it's not like this-"

Yuuko took a deep breath and said word by word, "I, from the beginning, belong to the real world. ”

“...... Huh? Wu was completely stunned.

"I wasn't a copy created by them, but I came to this world through the passage inside the Westward Demon from the beginning, and once again became the 'Yuko' here."

Looking at Takeya's stunned face, Yuko couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and her tone became timid: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that before this, I didn't know this myself, and I didn't really ...... until I returned there."

"I know," Takeya gently interrupted Yuko's words, and a reassuring smile appeared on his face again: "I don't think you have to worry about Yuko at all about this level of things, we're friends, aren't we." ”

"Takeya...... Thank you. ”

Letting go of the burden in her heart, Yuko continued what she had just said: "The 'Yuko' over there...... That is, I'm actually a very ordinary guy.,I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the past era.,I simply sealed the youkai Sakura Saiyuki with my body.,And later remembered as a necessary condition for the birth of 'Yuyuko'.。 ”

Wu also thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be very similar to what I saw in the memory of 'Adam', that is, the memory of the original 'me'. ”

"It's still a little different," Yuko added, "The 'I' and 'Takeya' over there haven't formed any bonds, and even with Qingming and Reimu are just nodding friends, in the memory of 'me' thousands of years ago, only Purple and ...... remained."

Wu Ye's face was a little unsightly: "Should you be with that guy over there...... Are you friends with Luo Tianshu? ”

As soon as this name is mentioned, he feels irritated, and the thought that Yuko will have some intersection with the other party, and maybe even be a former friend, his heart is very complicated.

"No, the person who formed a bond with 'me' is not Luo Tianshu, but his sister." With that, Yuko looked behind Takeya with complicated eyes, where another passerby who appeared in this world was standing.

Wu Ye also turned around at this time, looking at the evil immortal who had been unscrupulous in Gensokyo, and at this moment there was only a hollow on his face that was lost and depressed.

Huo Qing'e slowly raised her gaze and said in a tone that did not fluctuate: "The person who formed the bond with Youzi is my prototype, she is Luo Tianshu's twin sister, her name is ...... Luo Tianyi. ”
