Konno Yuuki pondered reasonable arguments to persuade Yakumo Yukari. Although she knew that Yakumo Yukari's appearance was not for Momo but for Kazami Yuuka, it was still better for her to appear than for her to hide in the gap and spy.

However, it turned out that Konno Yuuki's idea was too naive.

Yukari Yakumo maintained her elegant smile, but her eyes always held a hint of cold rationality as she said, "This... I'm sorry, I won't do that."

Yakumo Yukari's words stunned Konno Yuuki for a moment, because Yakumo Yukari's words meant that she would not do it, not that she could not do it.

This means that Yukari Yakumo could indeed bring Momo to Gensokyo, but she chose to refuse.

"Yuko Yukari-neechan..."

"There's no need to call me so affectionately. Since you know a lot about Gensokyo, you must also know that I am a youkai. Youkai eat people, and youkai can also kill people."

Yakumo Yukari's words could no longer be described as a refusal; they were more like a threat. Konno Yuuki understood Yakumo Yukari's attitude from these words, which could be interpreted as a threat.

Gensokyo is off-limits to Momo, or rather, off-limits to outsiders.

"Since you know everything about Gensokyo, I don't need to go into the rules of Gensokyo."

Yukari Yakumo's tone left no room for doubt. She stated bluntly, "Give up. No matter who you came here for or what your purpose is, Gensokyo does not welcome you. No one will bring you into Gensokyo."

“But,” Konno Yuuki quickly said, “Big brother and Reimu Hakurei…”

"Reimu Hakurei?"

Konno Yuuki wanted to explain something, but Yakumo Yukari didn't give her the chance. She interrupted Konno Yuuki directly, saying, "Since you know Reimu Hakurei, then you can find a way to contact her yourselves."

"As for finding a way to enter Gensokyo through me, that's absolutely impossible."

Konno Yuki shut her mouth because she knew that Yakumo Yukari's side had no chance left. The reason why Yakumo Yukari was willing to explain to Konno Yuki was probably inseparable from the fact that Kazami Yuuka had just admired Mo Mo's strength.

"Have you finished asking your questions? Well then, it's my turn to handle a small matter."

Konno Yuuki was taken aback and asked, "What do you need to deal with?"

Yukari Yakumo looked up at the girls staring at her from behind Konno Yuuki and said, "Some people don't want to go back to Gensokyo, but that doesn't mean others don't. I suspect they'll be threatened here, so I'm taking them back to Gensokyo."

"They" was a broad term, but now everyone knows who "they" refers to when Yakumo Yukari says it.

Fujiwara no Mokou, Houraisan Kaguya, Izayoi Sakuya, Kirisame Marisa, and Kochiya Sanae, who trembles slightly at the sight of Yakumo Yukari. They all originally belonged to Gensokyo, and now Yakumo Yukari is taking them back.

Who are you?!

Fujiwara no Mokou frowned and shouted, "I know you come from that place called Gensokyo, and we were also from Gensokyo in our previous lives. But what right do you have to make decisions for us, making it seem like we have to obey your orders?"

"Are you the queen of Gensokyo?"

Fujiwara no Mokou's blunt question startled Yakumo Yukari, who then shook her head and said, "There is no queen in Gensokyo. I am just an administrator. All I have to do is bring you back to Gensokyo, since that is your home."

Yukari Yakumo's tone softened slightly, which made Fujiwara no Mokou's heart flutter a little. Compared to Momo's hesitation about whether to let them join, it seemed like a good idea for them to return to Gensokyo directly.

The feeling of coming home...

Before Fujiwara no Mokou could even begin to fantasize, Izayoi Sakuya calmly spoke up, instantly shattering Fujiwara no Mokou's thoughts.

"Then, Yukari Yakumo, the administrator of Gensokyo, could you please tell me how we died?"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara no Mokou's breath hitched.

Yes... this is a very crucial question. These people are already dead in the afterlife. As dead, can they so easily return to Gensokyo and go home?

Theoretically, this question shouldn't be difficult to answer, since Yukari Yakumo only needs to tell a few people the cause of their deaths. However, to the astonishment of Fujiwara no Mokou and Izayoi Sakuya, Yukari Yakumo was completely stunned by the question.

It seems that they didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"You...died in an accident."

Finally, Yukari Yakumo gave a seemingly plausible answer, saying, "Although I am the administrator of Gensokyo, Gensokyo is quite large, and it is impossible for me to know everything. Therefore, what I can tell you is that you died in an accident."

"At the same time, those who cared about you, your friends and partners, are heartbroken by your deaths. I think they would love for you to come back."

Yakumo Yukari continued to persuade Fujiwara no Mokou and Izayoi Sakuya, and although Izayoi Sakuya was somewhat tempted, her gaze towards Yakumo Yukari was full of suspicion.

She always felt that Yukari Yakumo was lying.

But where exactly did the lie occur?

"Can... we really go back?"

Fujiwara no Mokou asked again in a low voice. Even Houraisan Kaguya, who had been having a great time playing with Kirisame Marisa, seemed to realize that her mother was about to make an important decision. She obediently came to Fujiwara no Mokou's side and took Fujiwara no Mokou's hand.

Yukari Yakumo looked at Kaguya Houraisan with some surprise, and seeing Kaguya's strange situation, she gave her answer.

“That’s right, you can all go back. Come with me, I’ll take you back to Gensokyo.”

After saying that, Yukari Yakumo reached out and pulled, and the gap opened again. The strange space had a new crack, which turned into a portal as Yukari Yakumo pulled it. And through the strange space full of eyes, there seemed to be a quiet forest path that brought peace of mind.

That place... is Gensokyo?

Seeing this, even the usually composed Sakuya Izayoi couldn't help but take a step forward. That tranquil environment seemed to be the past they had always dreamed of, the hometown they longed to return to.

If they agree to Yakumo Yukari's request, they can return to Gensokyo, to their hometown.

As long as we take this step...

"Please don't deceive my brother, daughter, and maid, okay, Yukari Yakumo?"

"do not want!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, stopping Fujiwara no Mokou and Izayoi Sakuya from taking a step forward instinctively. The group immediately looked in the direction of the voices and saw two people.

One of them was Mo Mo, who suddenly appeared out of thin air at the entrance to the gap, blocking everyone's way. His body was also radiating a strong quantum light, which was because Mo Mo had used quantum teleportation to move directly from the underground space to this place.

Of course, the one responsible for providing the accurate coordinates was none other than Momo's greatsword, Konno Mubuki. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Konno Mubuki immediately contacted Momo, asking him to handle the situation.

The other voice surprised everyone. It belonged to Sanae Kochiya, who was still holding out her hand. Although her face showed fear, her posture indicated that she was about to rush forward to stop Fujiwara no Mokou and Izayoi Sakuya.

Mo Mo naturally noticed what had just happened and watched with interest as Kochiya Sanae, who had spoken out on impulse and was now unable to move due to fear and worry, watched with interest.

Mo Mo had originally planned to find a breakthrough point with Kochiya Sanae, but now it seems that it's no longer necessary. Kochiya Sanae's actions just now have already revealed her stance.

Compared to the smile on Mo Mo's lips, Yakumo Yukari's expression could only be described as icy. She paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at Mo Mo, lowering her voice as she said, "You're Mo Mo?"

"That's right, nice to meet you. I am Momo, and also the man who hasn't yet arranged for Reimu Hakurei to marry into my family. This time, I've come to Gensokyo to..."

"I have no interest in hearing about your business. If you really intend to find Reimu Hakurei or Gensokyo, that's your own business."

Yukari Yakumo stared coldly at Mo Mo and said, "I just want to ask you, why are you stopping me from bringing the natives of Gensokyo back to Gensokyo? Although I heard from Yuuka Kazami that you are quite strong, do you think that will stop me?"

Faced with Yukari Yakumo's blunt questioning, Mo Mo realized that his mission to enter Gensokyo this time would definitely not go smoothly. At least, although Yukari Yakumo claimed to let Mo Mo act on his own, she was clearly very resistant to him.

Momo understood this as well.

After all, Yukari Yakumo had worked so hard to raise Reimu Hakurei to become an outstanding, capable, and well-paid veteran city management captain. Now that Mo Mo was poaching her, how could she be happy?

“I am not trying to stop you, Yukari Yakumo.”

Momo took a step back, making way for everyone and revealing the doorway to the gap. He then said, "I just want to confirm, are you really going to take them back to Gensokyo?"

100 Purple Mom, I'm so disappointed.

"What do you mean?"

Yakumo Yukari's voice sounded unchanged, but Mo Mo sensed a suppressed anger within it. However, what intrigued Mo Mo was that he felt Yukari's anger wasn't directed at him.

Mo Mo turned her head and looked at Kouchi Sanae, who had just spoken up at the same time as Mo Mo to stop Yakumo Yukari from taking everyone into the gap. At this moment, she, who had just mustered up the courage to face Yakumo Yukari, shrank back again, lowering her head as if she was going to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.

Such behavior alerted not only Mo Mo to the problem, but even the girl next to Sanae Kochiya realized something was amiss.

However, at this moment, everyone vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with Yukari Yakumo. Rather than asking Sanae Kochiya what was going on, everyone instinctively focused on gathering their strength to confront Yukari Yakumo.

Sure enough, Sakuya Izayoi stood in front of Sanae Kochiya, meeting Yukari Yakumo's gaze without fear. Yuri Nakamura, who was close to Sanae Kochiya, also moved closer to her and took her hand.

"You prefer looking at girls to answering my questions? No wonder you managed to fool even Reimu. Reimu trusting you so much was definitely a mistake."

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Whether it's a mistake or not should be decided by Reimu, not by you, Yakumo Yukari. Although you have a debt of gratitude to Reimu for nurturing and raising her, I think Reimu has already repaid for all of that."

"You talk as if you really know everything about Gensokyo. If you really know everything about Gensokyo, why don't you skip me and go directly to Gensokyo?"

"This is simply a sign of respect for you as the administrator of Gensokyo."

"Don't worry about me. If Gensokyo were a place that everyone could easily find, there would be no need for me, the administrator, to exist."

As she said this, a sharp look appeared in Yakumo Yukari's eyes. At this moment, she no longer seemed to be the lazy Yakumo Yukari, but had become a great youkai ready to fight at any time.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you really not going to come back to Gensokyo with me?"

This time, everyone could sense the hidden dissatisfaction and anger in Yakumo Yukari's words. But Mo Mo ignored it and continued to block Yakumo Yukari's way, saying, "If you want to take them away, at least answer my questions, Yakumo Yukari."

"Are you really going to take them back to Gensokyo? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a folding fan appeared in Yukari Yakumo's hand. With a gentle wave, the fan opened with a whoosh, and she used it to cover the lower part of her face.

"Then you should answer my question first. What do you mean by asking this? Do you think I would lie to you?"

"Then I'll just say it directly and won't be polite."

Momo held up one finger and said, "You should understand very well that this is the afterlife, not the world where Gensokyo originally was, and the rules of this world are completely different from your original world, which is obvious."

"If you want evidence, the best example is that Kazami Yuuka's combat power is greatly limited due to the rules of the world."

Mo Mo turned to look at Kazami Yuuka, who seemed pleased that Mo Mo was directly confronting Yakumo Yukari, and laughed, "Yakumo Yukari, this isn't exactly a secret, is it?"

Without waiting for Yakumo Yukari's reply, Kazami Yuuka continued, "You're right, Momo. The reason I surrendered to you so readily is because my demonic power is a consumable here."

"If it weren't for my unique characteristics and the children you just completely destroyed, I would have trouble even maintaining my form in this world, let alone fighting you."

"I was defeated in one blow just now, which means I can't continue fighting you. Your defense is too strong. Even if I exhaust all my demonic power, I probably still won't be able to break through your tortoise shell."

Mo Mo grinned and said, "Then I'll take your words as a compliment."

"Yuuka Kazami, I didn't expect you to be so direct in revealing your weaknesses to outsiders. Do you really trust Mo Mo that much, or are you also eyeing this pretty boy?"

Kazami Yuuka's actions clearly angered Yakumo Yukari again, but with her face covered by a folding fan, it was difficult for anyone to notice the subtle changes in her expression.

"Perhaps."

Yuuka Kazami knew that Yukari Yakumo was deliberately mocking her, but she didn't care at all. Having learned about Momo's trading power and his identity as the Heroic Spirit King, she already had about 80% trust in him and a good impression of him that was more than average.

The trust stemmed from the fact that Momo had no reason or motive to deceive her, and from Kazami Yuuka's judgment based on the situation between Hakurei Reimu and Momo. The goodwill arose because Kazami Yuuka, through Momo's arrival, glimpsed another ray of hope—a hope beyond what Yakumo Yukari had promised.

"If you really can't understand, just think of it as me getting tired of fighting and wanting to find someone else to lean on. Momo, can your shoulders bear the weight of a monster like me?"

"You are welcome to come and experience the fragrance anytime."
