"Ignoring Haruhi Suzumiya's kindness and going directly to Mo Mo is fine, but... but I don't want to just go to that guy like this. He has to learn a lesson, he has to remember the wrong things he did!"

Reimu Hakurei muttered to herself, as if saying it aloud made her feel a little better. The reason she had previously discussed dealing with Momo with Haruhi Suzumiya's side, and even threatened to kill Momo, was because of this very thought.

Momo arrived late, Momo had let her down. Although Reimu Hakurei didn't hate Momo for it, she didn't want to forgive him so easily. This was Reimu Hakurei's inner turmoil, her contradiction, a mixture of her dissatisfaction and her gratitude towards Haruhi Suzumiya.

But now, Reimu Hakurei, alone, has experienced a slight change in her feelings.

Reimu Hakurei can be as hard as iron to anyone, but her heart is always soft when it comes to Momo. Her feelings and hopes for Momo have never wavered. Momo has no idea how much warmth he brought to Reimu Hakurei during the time they met, when her body and soul were almost frozen.

That was a temperature Reimu Hakurei had never experienced, sweet words she had never heard, a smile she had never shown so freely, and a leisurely, carefree life she had almost forgotten.

To be trusted, to be expected of, to be loved, and to be cared for.

This was everything Momo had given Reimu Hakurei, everything that had captivated her. And it was only after Momo learned of the major problems that Gensokyo had encountered that he began to vaguely understand the reasons behind it all.

Therefore, even though Reimu knew that Momo was late, and even though she had suffered countless pains and torments before, she almost lost control of herself in ecstasy the moment she saw Momo.

Fortunately, the scene that Ryoko Asakura presented was so devastating that it instantly shattered ninety percent of Reimu Hakurei's joy, preventing Reimu from giving herself away in front of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Now that Reimu Hakurei was alone, free from the earlier turmoil and anger, her heart softened again. She couldn't help but wonder what Momo had gone through all these years, why Momo had come to this world, whether Momo would be in danger facing those Heroic Spirits, and whether Momo would be at a disadvantage when facing Gilgamesh.

Reimu Hakurei didn't dare ask Haruhi Suzumiya too many questions about Momo, fearing she would give herself away first. Therefore, Reimu was extremely curious about everything concerning Momo. This made Reimu both angry and distressed by Momo's lateness, and worried that Momo might have endured too much hardship and was disappointed at not finding her.

"Probably not... He still has the mood to do that kind of thing with a little vixen he doesn't even know, so he definitely doesn't care about me that much!"

"But if he didn't care about me, why would he enter this world at this time? This world is so dangerous; entering here is practically the same as going to war with Gilgamesh, isn't it? To go to war with Gilgamesh for my sake—doesn't that show his true intentions...?"

Faced with countless black mud spirits wreaking havoc on the evil demon Reimu Hakurei, and with Haruhi Suzumiya's mature and powerful Reimu Hakurei, Reimu Hakurei is now so conflicted that she has to fight herself. Seeing this scene, I wonder how many people will fall down.

"Since you're so conflicted, just go ahead and test him."

A soft female voice reached Reimu Hakurei's ears, startling her. She sat up abruptly, assuming a defensive posture, black spiritual energy shimmering around her. "Who is it? Who's here?" she asked.

However, what Reimu Hakurei saw was a blurry human figure, whose appearance was unclear, but it should generally be a girl.

"Who are you!"

Reimu Hakurei shouted, but the other person tilted her head and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I don't know who I am."

"what?"

Reimu Hakurei stared in astonishment at the humanoid figure that she didn't know what it was, wondering if this was a prank by Haruhi Suzumiya or a show of force by that senior advisor named Ryoko Asakura.

"I was just watching and found it interesting, so I came to remind you."

“You are good. You are protecting the world. You are fighting against evil. The other guys are not good. They destroy everything. They hurt a lot. Only you are good.”

"So I came here, I want to help you, I want to reward you."

Reimu Hakurei was completely confused; what exactly was going on?

"who are you?"

Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask again, but the other person's figure suddenly blurred, and her voice gradually broke and disappeared, saying, "I really don't know who I am... I was just watching, and when I wanted to come, I came."

The strange figure vanished. Reimu Hakurei cautiously looked around, only to find that the humanoid figure had indeed disappeared. She relaxed her guard slightly, scratched her cheek, and was utterly baffled.

Perhaps it was a prank by someone from Haruhi Suzumiya's side?

"thump!"

Just then, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water startled Reimu Hakurei. She quickly turned around and saw that her Yin-Yang Jewel seemed to have come off the towel due to the impact of the water flow and rolled into the hot spring pool.

"What... how boring."

Since she couldn't figure it out, she might as well stop thinking about it. Anyway, the other party was in Haruhi Suzumiya's stronghold; either it was a prank by Haruhi Suzumiya's side, or it was someone so powerful that Haruhi Suzumiya couldn't even detect them. Neither of these options both bothered Reimu Hakurei.

Reimu Hakurei doesn't bother with pranks, and if the enemy is unbelievably strong, she might as well not fight back! Anyway, Reimu Hakurei is tired from fighting, not just physically, but also mentally.

She bent down to take out the stone formed from the Yin-Yang Jade. The Yin-Yang Jade was originally a treasure for storing spiritual power. During Reimu Hakurei's battle, the Dragon God even provided a large amount of his body to store in it, which allowed Reimu Hakurei to survive until now, until the Dragon God's power was exhausted.

However, storing divine power was clearly an extremely difficult task for the Yin-Yang Jewel, and the divine power obviously overwhelmed its internal structure. After Reimu Hakurei exhausted all of the Dragon God's power, the Yin-Yang Jewel completely lost its spirituality and turned into something resembling stone.

According to Reimu Hakurei's knowledge, it was impossible for her to restore this stone. Reimu Hakurei never even considered restoring it; the stone, formed from the Yin-Yang Orb, was only there because she still held onto a sliver of memory.

This Yin-Yang Jewel is the final piece of evidence proving Reimu Hakurei's past as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

Just as Reimu Hakurei was about to touch the Yin-Yang Jewel with her fingers, the Yin-Yang Jewel, which had been petrified and completely lost its function, emitted a light that Reimu Hakurei recognized.

This light only appears after the Yin-Yang Jade is filled with the power of the Dragon God.

For a moment, Reimu Hakurei's eyes glazed over.

What's going on?

Why did the Yin-Yang Jade recover and become filled with the power of the Dragon God again?

The Dragon God had already fled due to severe injuries, and after the Dragon God's escape, her Yin-Yang Orb lost its power replenishment, its strength diminishing with each use. Reimu Hakurei's ability to persist until now is inseparable from both the Dragon God's power and her guerrilla tactics. And after this power was exhausted, Haruhi Suzumiya contacted her, and she brought Illya, that talkative little girl, as a token of loyalty, to Haruhi Suzumiya's side to be under her protection.

Could it be that the Dragon God has returned, regained its original power, and even, sensing the presence of the Yin-Yang Jewel, actively repaired it and contacted Reimu Hakurei?

As the Yin-Yang Jade gradually returned to its original form, seven stars could be faintly seen appearing and disappearing within it. This was the situation that occurred when the Dragon God infused his divine power into the Yin-Yang Jade.

"I have restored your treasure. The person you miss has mastered this power, and you can connect with him through it. Go test him, be willful, I also want to see what kind of person he is."

The mysterious voice that had just appeared rang out again, and Reimu Hakurei quickly looked around, but this time there wasn't even a mysterious figure appearing.

However, at this moment, Reimu Hakurei had no time to care about what was going on with that mysterious fellow. She watched as the familiar Yin-Yang Jewel regained its light, a happy smile appearing on her lips. Her fingers traced the Yin-Yang Jewel; she was about to attempt to contact the Dragon God.

This is also an additional function that the Yin-Yang Jade gains after being infused with the power of the Dragon God. Just as Yukari Yakumo can use the Dragon God's reverse scale to connect with the Dragon God, the powers of the Dragon Gods are strongly connected to each other.

As for the mysterious figure, Reimu Hakurei didn't take it too seriously. Could this mysterious creature really be so powerful that it could interfere with the Dragon God's power? In Reimu's view, it was most likely that the Dragon God had truly returned.

However, the images and sounds projected from the Yin-Yang Jewel immediately followed, causing Reimu Hakurei's smile to fade and turn into surprise.

The voices coming from inside were those of Mo Mo and a little girl.

"Are you really confident you can get them out like this?"

It was Momo who was speaking. Then Momo and the little girl seemed to be discussing something. As she watched, Reimu Hakurei realized that the strange scene that had just affected everyone on Haruhi Suzumiya's side was the work of this little girl.

Recalling the situation just now, a smile reappeared on Reimu Hakurei's lips, and the anger she felt from that scene immediately subsided. Thinking of the strange reactions from Haruhi Suzumiya's group, Reimu even felt an urge to burst out laughing. But she restrained herself; after all, Haruhi Suzumiya's group was her savior, and she had to maintain her composure and respect!

"This kid is not bad. This ability is enough to make many girls suffer a lot if they are not careful. Could this be a new heroic spirit that Mo Mo has taken in? But this ability is too lewd. He is so lewd at such a young age. It seems that Mo Mo taught him!"

Mo Mo felt seriously caught in the crossfire, as it was clearly this little Gaia girl who was causing trouble! Not only did Mo Mo have to be exploited by her all day long, providing her with endless food for her insatiable appetite, but she also had to constantly scheme against this little girl and worry about this big shot she invited to the Hall of Heroes causing trouble. Mo Mo was really tired!

Unfortunately, Reimu Hakurei still harbors resentment towards Momo, and she finds Gaia, the little loli, a million times more pleasing to the eye than Momo.

Soon, Momo and Gaia were discussing how to deal with Haruhi Suzumiya. Hearing Momo constantly mention Reimu's name, and knowing that everything Momo did was to find herself, Reimu felt a warm glow in her heart, and even the blackness on her face turned slightly pink.

At this point, Reimu Hakurei also grasped the gist of it. The relationship between Momo and Haruhi Suzumiya's side wasn't just a simple conflict; it was outright hostility. Clearly, Momo was very wary of Haruhi Suzumiya's side, and after learning that Reimu Hakurei was on Haruhi Suzumiya's side, she became even more cautious.

This allowed Reimu Hakurei to breathe a sigh of relief; perhaps this could be a reason for Momo to waste time?

With her heart softening, when she heard Momo's eagerness to know what Haruhi Suzumiya's abilities were, Reimu Hakurei subconsciously answered Momo's question, because she did indeed know the answer.

When Reimu Hakurei discussed with Haruhi Suzumiya how to deal with Momo, she naturally inquired about information regarding the so-called Administrators and their abilities. Haruhi Suzumiya gave Reimu a general overview of this, as she didn't consider it an absolute secret.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Reimu Hakurei regretted them.

The restoration of the Yin-Yang Jade allowed Momo and Reimu Hakurei to communicate, but Reimu Hakurei was completely unprepared to communicate with Momo. There was too much Reimu Hakurei didn't know, and now that she knew some of Momo's hardships, she was even more unsure how to approach him.

Hatred is not yet satisfied, and forgiveness has not yet been achieved. In this limbo, Reimu Hakurei is still on the side of Haruhi Suzumiya, who is hostile to Momo, yet she still wants to repay Haruhi Suzumiya's kindness.

What should Reimu Hakurei do? How should she face Momo?

silence.

Reimu Hakurei fell silent, Momo fell silent, and even Gaia, who had been laughing and causing trouble for Momo, fell silent, blinking her eyes and looking at Momo curiously. She was looking forward to seeing how this sudden exchange between Momo and Reimu Hakurei would develop.

"Reimu?"

"Ah."

Finally, Momo spoke, and Reimu Hakurei answered instinctively.

"Come back, I miss you so much."

This time, Momo didn't remain silent; he almost immediately and urgently conveyed his voice to Reimu Hakurei. Reimu Hakurei's pupils contracted slightly, because for the first time, she heard a tremor in this man's voice.

Mo Mo's voice trembled.

Those slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be hiding something.

Is it excitement or sorrow?

I feel so proud... Am I the first woman to make that scumbag show such an expression?

He's finally not all smiles anymore; it turns out he has vulnerable moments too!

Damn bastard, why didn't you do this sooner!

Reimu Hakurei smiled, a sense of joy welling up inside her, happiness surging within her. Her radiant smile was completely at odds with the strange patterns all over her body, like a bright sun suddenly appearing before everyone.

"I refuse."

Reimu Hakurei rejected Momo.

065 Are you two flirting?

A simple "I refuse" seemed to instantly freeze the channels of communication between the two people, as if everything from the past had been severed by that one rejection.

Is everything over? Is there no way to salvage anything?

After so much anticipation and effort, is everything really over just because of one small missed opportunity?

If Reimu Hakurei and Momo were both young people immersed in love, they might have exaggerated this small missed opportunity, turning it into a story of lifelong regret amidst their entanglement of love and hate. Unfortunately, both Reimu Hakurei and Momo have already experienced too much.

Even if Reimu Hakurei truly makes up her mind, Momo won't let her go; she'll kidnap her and bring her back. Similarly, even if Momo really becomes a heartless man, Reimu Hakurei won't simply pass by; she'll definitely storm his door and make him experience the wrath of a demon priestess.

"Wow!"

Gaia let out a small gasp, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if anticipating a precipitous fall into an abyss of no return. Unfortunately, Mo Mo was destined to disappoint her, for he stroked his chin and said, "If I were to seal off the entire planet now to prevent you from disappearing and running away, would it still be in time?"

"Wow, you're willing to attack an entire planet without a second thought. You're quite strong now, it seems you've really grown!"

Reimu Hakurei was still smiling brightly, her joy at reuniting with Momo was fully released. Even though her face was still covered with hideous lines, anyone could feel the bright warmth in her smile.

Despite being utterly exhausted and constantly enduring the pain of her body being corroded by power, Reimu Hakurei still managed to smile so brightly. At this moment, Reimu Hakurei must have released all the beauty within her heart.

"Yes, I didn't go bald, but I did become stronger."

Mo Mo showed off his biceps, but unfortunately, Mo Mo still had that somewhat thin body that couldn't give people a sense of strength at all.

"Don't let my skinny appearance fool you, I'm all muscle. I've come here with that power, and I'm here by your side. Reimu, you can certainly refuse me now."
