“At least,” Momo smiled faintly, “I am not your enemy.”

"Do you know who our enemies are? Also, I haven't yet confirmed whether you're with them or not."

Kazami Yuuka's mocking smile seemed to deepen as she said, "You just said that you don't know everything, that there are many things you don't know. Aren't you ashamed to speak so arrogantly?"

"Of course not!"

Mo Mo puffed out his chest confidently and said, "Besides, whether I am your enemy or not depends more on my determination. I can guarantee that as long as you do not hinder my goals, you can not only not be my enemy, but you can even become my friend, partner, or even go further without any problem."

"ensure?"

Kazami Yuuka countered with a question, then continued, "How can you guarantee that?"

Although Shin-yi seems to be quite popular among yokai, Mo Mo's verbal assurances are clearly meaningless in the face of Kazami Yuuka, who is wearing a mocking and distrustful expression at this moment.

"If you don't believe me, let's make a small deal."

Momo didn't intend to waste too much time with Kazami Yuuka. Although Kazami Yuuka was clearly someone Momo admired, and Momo was willing to make her his Heroic Spirit and give them the opportunity to have in-depth exchanges, right now, Momo was more concerned about the situation in Gensokyo.

Although he hasn't entered Gensokyo yet, everything in the afterlife right now, especially Kazami Yuuka appearing before Momo, gives him an extremely uneasy premonition about what's happening in Gensokyo.

Gensokyo is Reimu's hometown.

Even if Momo could forget the girls who lived in seclusion in Gensokyo, Reimu Hakurei was someone Momo could never forget, and someone he absolutely had to find again.

"trade?"

"That's right, a small deal."

Momo extended her right hand, and the invisible bow that had been tied by Reimu Hakurei with her own hairband reappeared on Momo's wrist.

“I will tell you my purpose and promise that as long as no one stops me, I will not become your enemy. In return, all you need to do is tell me what happened in Gensokyo.”

After speaking, Mo Mo activated his trading power towards Kazami Yuuka. Kazami Yuuka, whose eyes had been filled with suspicion, widened her eyes in an instant. Even as a great demon who had lived for countless years, she had no room to resist the power of a god.

In Momo's view, this deal was bound to succeed. After all, Momo had no grudge against Gensokyo and could never become an enemy; all Momo wanted to do was take Hakurei Reimu away.

Of course, if Reimu Hakurei is very important to Gensokyo, then Momo wouldn't mind paying a huge price to give Reimu Hakurei her freedom and buy her from Yukari Yakumo.

After all, for Yukari Yakumo, the Hakurei Shrine Maidens are essential, and Reimu Hakurei is just one of them.

However, to Mo Mo's surprise, after hesitating for a long time, Kazami Yuuka actually refused Mo Mo's invitation, saying, "I cannot accept it."

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo frowned and said, "Is it because of the conditions? If that's the case, it's not impossible to discuss. I can sense that Gensokyo is going through a turbulent time right now. We can definitely form an alliance to fight the enemy together."

“All of this,” Yuuka Kazami suddenly interjected, “is all based on your relationship with Reimu Hakurei, isn’t it?”

Mo Mo's heart sank, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Kazami Yuuka shook her head and smiled bitterly, a hint of helplessness in her smile, and said, "Your conditions are indeed very reasonable, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to accept them. In fact, I cannot tell you anything about Gensokyo or your little wife Reimu Hakurei."

"This is a promise between me and Yukari Yakumo. You probably know about Yukari Yakumo, right?"

Mo Mo's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't realize that his voice had become dry as he asked, "Can you tell me everything you can?"

"Why are you here? And..."

"What's this 'little wife' you're talking about?"

086 You are my prisoner

Kazami Yuuka didn't answer Momo directly, but looked at Momo, seemingly judging something based on Momo's reaction.

At this moment, Mo Mo's expression, which had become flustered due to the news about Reimu Hakurei, quickly returned to its original calm. Mo Mo had already discovered Yuuka Kazami's purpose and sensed a transactional undertone emanating from her.

Clearly, Kazami Yuuka is another person, after Houraisan Kaguya, who knows about the situation in Gensokyo. However, according to Kazami Yuuka, she has an agreement with Yakumo Yukari, and at Yakumo Yukari's request, she cannot reveal anything to Momo.

As a great yokai, Kazami Yuuka would naturally keep her promise.

However, there is room for negotiation. After all, Kazami Yuuka is merely a youkai, not a trustworthy ghost. Mo Mo doesn't believe that the relationship between Kazami Yuuka and Yakumo Yukari is so friendly that Kazami Yuuka would disregard everything to keep Yakumo Yukari's secret.

If it were that gluttonous ghost, it would be more like it.

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic."

Since Kazami Yuuka's goal was a transaction, Momo immediately went about it with practiced ease. His familiar, confident smile returned to his face.

"Great youkai Kazami Yuuka, can't you really tell me the secrets of Gensokyo?"

Kazami Yuuka smiled slightly and said, "Do you expect me to repeat myself? That's impossible. I promised Yakumo Yukari, and I will keep that promise."

Kazami Yuuka repeatedly emphasized keeping promises, which seemed to be a rejection of Momo. However, at this moment, Momo understood what Kazami Yuuka meant.

What Yuuka Kazami needs is the fact that she keeps her promise. In other words, she will not, subjectively and actively, break this promise. Unless, some powerful objective force forces her to passively accept all of this.

“I respect your insistence,” Momo said, feeling much more relaxed after grasping the key point. “But at the same time, I would also like you to clarify our current status and position.”

"Status and social standing?"

Kazami Yuuka frowned slightly, her gaze towards Mo Mo becoming serious and earnest. She asked, "What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple."

Mo Mo approached Kazami Yuuka step by step, standing in front of her, looking closely at this powerful youkai, this non-human race, and at her calm and composed expression.

"Miss Kazami Yuuka, do you think you can beat me?"

Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow; this question was definitely a challenge to her strength and authority. If anyone else had asked her this question, even Yakumo Yukari, she would have fired back without hesitation.

However, when faced with Momo at this moment...

Momo's scientific power had truly frightened Kazami Yuuka. Although she maintained her composure, she couldn't figure out how to break through Momo's unimaginable shell.

The reason why Yuuka Kazami is so powerful is essentially because of her power, which is almost one with nature. As a result, she has gained near-limitless demonic power. As long as she has demonic power, then strength, injuries, and even combat endurance are not problems.

However, Yuuka Kazami is not without her weaknesses.

Her first weakness is that her power is diminished if she is not in her own territory, that is, in the garden she has cultivated.

Although this wouldn't have a fundamental impact on her, Kazami Yuuka would still have a headache dealing with an enemy like Momo who could blow up the entire environment at the drop of a hat.

Kazami Yuuka's second weakness, or rather, her weakness, is that precisely because of her immense and powerful demonic energy, she disdains learning any special abilities and can simply overwhelm any enemy with her demonic power.

However, now, facing Momo, Kazami Yuuka's second weakness is that although she possesses almost inexhaustible demonic power, her use of it is too crude. This results in Kazami Yuuka's attacks lacking absolute strength, but her endurance is more than sufficient.

To use an imperfect analogy, Yuuka Kazami's power is like a tram. As long as there are tracks and electricity, Yuuka Kazami's power will continue to operate at high speed.

However, even with unlimited range, a tram is still a tram; its speed can never match that of an airplane. Not to mention, after Momo activated his cheat code, his speed has surpassed that of a rocket.

Without overwhelming strength, Kazami Yuuka couldn't break through Momo's defenses, nor could she defend against Momo's attacks. The seemingly invincible Kazami Yuuka was ultimately defeated by Momo's direct and forceful methods.

"I can't beat you."

Although Yuuka Kazami was unwilling, she could only calmly accept it. However, Yuuka Kazami was, after all, Yuuka Kazami; her composure and honesty made her worthy of the title of a great yokai.

"Not only can I not beat you, I don't even have the possibility of fighting to the death with you. Your defense is extremely strong, and your strange speed is the limit of what I can handle."

"If you also have strong offensive capabilities... no, that shouldn't be a problem for you."

Kazami Yuuka muttered to herself, then suddenly shook her head and said, "Although I don't know exactly what your ability is, you can't possibly lack powerful offensive capabilities. Putting aside everything else, your six pairs of wings, which you can control at will, have the power to destroy the world."

In Kazami Yuuka's opinion, since each of Momo's feathers is as heavy as a mountain, who could withstand the physical blows from Momo's six wings, which are composed of countless feathers?

At least, Yuuka Kazami didn't think she could withstand it, nor did she think that there were many people in the entire Gensokyo who could withstand it.

The seemingly frail man before them possessed a strength that instilled despair.

"I'm afraid even if I try my best, I won't be able to gain a sliver of freedom from you."

Kazami Yuuka's voice carried a hint of disappointment. After all, she was a powerful figure and held a top position in Gensokyo. However, when facing Momo at this moment, all she felt was a deep sense of powerlessness.

Mo Mo remained calm, realizing that his decision had been correct and had completely frightened Kazami Yuuka.

Although Momo's strength is already quite good, it is definitely not at the level that Kazami Yuuka imagined. Putting aside whether the Unreal Matter ability that Momo just used with the help of Kazakiri Hyōka has approached or reached the LV6 level, even the wings that Momo just used to block Kazami Yuuka were not entirely genuine.

After all, the Unbound Matter needs to be created by Mo Mo little by little. Although Mo Mo usually creates a lot of Unbound Matter, how could he possibly store so many super-quality feathers?

The super-massive feather that truly blocked Yuuka Kazami's path was only a small portion of the area in front of her fist.

Well... as for the truth about these things, Momo will not tell Kazami Yuuka for the time being.

Otherwise, looking at Kazami Yuuka's delicate hands, there was no way she could turn them into iron fists to smash Momo's head. Momo had no desire to experience the taste of Kazami Yuuka's iron fists.

"As expected of Kazami Yuuka, since you have such an understanding and attitude, it saves us from wasting time."

Mo Mo snapped his fingers and said, "Now, I declare that Kazami Yuuka, you are my prisoner, my captive. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuuka glared fiercely at Mo Mo and said, "I can't beat you, so what's the point of having a problem with that?"

"Nature has meaning."

Momo gave Kazami Yuuka a kind look and said, "You should know that confession is the best policy. Once you become my prisoner, you can use your actions to get better treatment. I can even fulfill your other needs and desires."

Momo extended his hand to Kazami Yuuka and said, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Momo, a merchant. You just experienced my abilities, didn't you? As long as the price is reasonable, anything can be traded."

"The prices are fair, and I treat everyone honestly. People who have traded with me say it's good. If you're interested, you can give it a try."

Faced with Mo Mo's nonsensical self-praise, Kazami Yuuka maintained a calm expression, seemingly not taking Mo Mo's words to heart at all, and even gave Mo Mo a cold retort.

"boring."

However, Kazami Yuuka still reached out and shook hands with Mo Mo, saying, "So now, I am your prisoner? It's a strange feeling. This is the first time I've become someone else's prisoner, and with such a calm attitude."

"This is a good thing; it shows that there are always new discoveries in life."

“Now,” Momo’s tone shifted, his smile fading, “Miss Prisoner, I need to obtain some information from you to determine how to treat you. You can choose to refuse, but I will not give you the opportunity to refuse, because this is a forced interrogation, an interrogation.”

"Are they interrogating each other hand in hand?"

Kazami Yuuka released Momo's hand, and Momo shrugged indifferently, saying, "Of course, we can also try some more intense methods. Although you are a youkai, your physique and spirit are incomparable to those of humans. However, new discoveries in life will always help me find a way to effectively interrogate you."

“There’s no need to threaten me with such petty tricks,” Kazami Yuuka said unmoved. “I won’t waste my time and energy on meaningless things. You don’t need to rack your brains for ways to torture me; I’ll tell you some information.”

"However, I also have my own principles, and I can only tell you part of the information."

Yuuka Kazami eventually gave in.

"I understand, I understand. We're waiting for the right price, right? We have to find an opportunity to sell for a good price, don't we?"

"Now, please tell me."

Momo took a deep breath and asked softly, "Is Reimu alright?"
