"So, is Lord Zi ready to take action?"
She landed on a chair in the Yakumo family's house. Yoru looked at Yukari Yakumo sitting opposite her, Ran Yakumo standing behind her with her hands at her sides, and Orange, who was hiding in Ran Yakumo's tail, curiously peeking out. Damn it! That tail looks so comfortable! Little loli, get down here! I want to touch it too!
"Ara, Yege, you should read this first."
Yukari Yakumo smiled and waved her hand. Ran Yakumo immediately stepped forward and, under Yoru's bewildered gaze, produced a... camera!
"Humans from the outside world always have some novel gadgets. This is quite good. I believe you should know how to operate it, Night Song, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Yege took the camera with a complicated expression. The familiar texture almost made him think he had returned to the modern world. In Gensokyo, you've never even seen a mobile phone, let alone a camera. It's like a medieval pope suddenly pulling out a cell phone and adding you on WeChat. Even modern people would find it hard to accept.
With a complicated expression, he turned on the camera. The recording inside was excellent, and even the sound was very clear. Ye Ge had sharp eyes and spotted an acquaintance of his, Ling Jiu Yi Lin. This was actually a high-level meeting of the Monster Mountain!
"Thanks to the Heavenly Demon's deliberate leniency, we were able to secretly take these photos."
Yukari Yakumo leisurely waved her folding fan, her purple eyes fixed on Yoru with interest, seemingly lost in thought. However, Yoru had no interest in playing mind games with her; his attention was entirely focused on the recording.
"Lord Heavenly Demon, I believe the guard dog should be severely punished! How could he let such a dangerous person into Monster Mountain! Our Thunder Heavenly Dog suffered heavy casualties!"
“That’s right, and the other side only killed Lei Tiangou. Maybe these Tiangou deliberately let him in.”
As the captain, Inuzoku Momiji stood with her head down at the bottom of the steps, listening to the Raitengu's insults and accusations. Reijiu Yilin stepped forward, blocking the Raitengu's dangerous gaze. Her small body exuded a great deal of authority, and the Raitengu sheepishly withdrew their gaze, but they still did not give up on questioning the Tengu responsible for guarding the area.
"Oh? So you say it's because of the guard team? But you didn't stop them either, did you? Even Lei Yun died."
The Heavenly Demon raised an eyebrow, sat in the main seat, and looked at the silent Thunder Dogs with a cold smile. Suddenly, he asked Ling Jiu Yilin:
"Yilin, what kind of person is the other party?"
Ling Jiu Yilin nodded, put away the mahogany sword in her hand, and said respectfully, "The opponent's power is very strong. Even when facing three great demon-level Thunder Tengu, it was able to kill one of them. If I hadn't arrived, perhaps all three would have already met their demise. However, judging from its aura, the opponent seems to be human."
"Humans? How could humans possibly be..."
The Tengu's higher-ups were immediately agitated. For a moment, suspicious, gloating, and mocking gazes were focused on the two remaining great demons, Rai Tengu. As a great demon who claimed to be the most noble, Rai Tengu had actually been beaten into such a state by a human.
Lei Ying's face turned ashen, and he grunted, clearly displeased by the gaze. Although he was injured, he was not incapacitated. His wings suddenly unfurled, and the lightning was concealed. Everyone tensed up immediately, and all eyes were focused on Lei Ying. This arrogant Lei Tiangou actually dared to threaten Lord Tianmo in the presence of him!
This is an extra chapter!
I recently applied for a recommendation, but I don't know if I'll get it. If I do, I'll probably have to temporarily withdraw the bounty, save up more drafts, and open it again later!
Section 51, 50. Black Gloves
"Raikage, that's enough! This is a courtroom, not your home."
The Demon Queen tapped the armrest of her chair, and a strange wave spread out, silently dispelling the Raikage's lightning. The latter angrily took two steps back. The Demon Queen's imposing presence intimidated everyone. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she slowly stood up and addressed Inuzoku Momiji, who had been keeping his head down at the bottom of the steps:
“Raise your head, Momiji Inuzoku. This is not your fault. The enemy’s strength exceeded our expectations, and mistakes are normal, but we must be more vigilant.”
"Yes, Lord Heavenly Demon!"
Inuzo Momiji knelt down on one knee and answered respectfully. Tenma narrowed his eyes and nodded, then said to the elders behind him, "In that case, there shouldn't be anything else, right? Everyone, take care of the wounded and the dead, and don't let this affect the order of the Monster Mountain."
"But Lord Heavenly Demon, our fallen comrades cannot..."
Before Lei Ying could say anything more, Tianmo suddenly turned around, his dark eyes fixed on him. The words Lei Ying was about to say were stuck in his throat. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but finally nodded with a gloomy expression and retreated. Anyone could see the resentment and humiliation in his eyes.
"Go about your business, Yilin, you stay here."
As the recording drew to a close, Ye Ge wondered if it was just her imagination, but Tian Mo glanced at the camera very subtly at the last moment, only to turn away as if nothing had happened.
The video ended there. Ye Ge put down the camera, frowned, and asked, "So, Monster Mountain is also letting this matter drop?"
Yukari Yakumo nodded, signaling Ran Yakumo to put away the camera, and slowly said, "Tenma is also very dissatisfied with Raitengu's actions. If your actions this time can make Raitengu restrain himself, she will let this matter go. But you should know that Raitengu will not swallow this insult. They will definitely retaliate!"
"Is there any danger among them?"
Ye Ge stood up abruptly. He had exposed his human identity, and if the people were to suffer because of him, Huiyin would be heartbroken. He didn't want Huiyin to be sad.
"Don't be nervous. With the Scarlet Devil Mansion as an example, they don't have the guts."
A folding fan struck Ye Ge on the head, making him sit back down, before he continued, "Although I know you are human, the miraculous method you used at the end surprised even me. How did you do it?"
Yege forced a smile. Just thinking about it made his heart bleed, but he still answered Yakumo Yukari's question. After all, there was no need to hide the fact that these were already used disposable items.
"This is a small ability I obtained from Huiyin. It can completely erase one's own existence and is the ultimate means of escape, but it can only be used once."
Yoru lowered his head, his fists clenching slightly. Yakumo Yukari noticed his distress and didn't press him further, instead offering a more positive message:
"But because of this, they didn't catch you, and Lei Tiangou had no one to retaliate against, so he will inevitably transfer his anger to other Tiangou."
"you mean.."
Night Song recalled the Raikage's final, hateful, and angry gaze, and Inuzomi Momiji's lowered head. She immediately understood, and Yakumo Yukari nodded.
"That's right, if my guess is correct, Lei Tiangou will retaliate against Bai Lang Tiangou!"
"But what does this have to do with me?"
Taking a deep breath, Yoru's eyes regained their clarity. Yakumo Yukari had told him so much, but those were all things from Youkai Mountain. What did it matter to him whether Hakuro Tengu lived or died? Did he really save her life because he felt a connection with Inuzomi Momiji? If he were really that saintly, he would have died somewhere out there long ago.
"Of course, this nonsense isn't what you're interested in. The main event is coming up."
Yakumo Yukari smiled slightly, a smile so sweet it was sickening, but Yoru knew that when a woman smiled like that, it meant she was starting to have some bad thoughts. She suddenly took a few steps back, only to find that her back was blocked by a table.
"Um, Lord Zi, please speak properly, I'm getting creeped out."
Yoru's trembling made Yakumo Yukari's smile crumble. She gave him a resentful look before regaining her composure: "If a riot really breaks out, the Tenma can't just ignore it. He might teach Raitengu a lesson, but he would never exterminate them. That's your problem."
"Do you need a black hand? Or a black hand that wipes out an entire clan?"
"Of course I need you, after all, you're the black glove I hired at a high price."
Yukari Yakumo and Yoruichi exchanged a knowing glance and laughed, their laughter tinged with coldness and sarcasm. However, there was no deception between them. On the contrary, Yoruichi trusted Yukari's plan completely because the beneficiary of the plan was Yukari, not him. He was merely a tool to profit from it.
"So you should understand now. Once Lei Tiangou rebels, Monster Mountain will inevitably be in chaos. Although the Heavenly Demon is powerful, she can't take care of everything. This is part of the reason why she lets me act. But I'm not that kind. Lei Tiangou must be destroyed."
"Fine, fine, you're the boss, you make the decisions."
Yoru nodded, but his gaze had already drifted to the two bottles in Yakumo Yukari's hand. The latter noticed his gaze, smiled slightly, picked up the bottles and waved them in front of Yoru. Yoru's eyes followed, making no attempt to hide the longing in them.
"If you want it, Yege, you'd better work hard. We don't look down on weak men."
She stuffed the two bottles into her ample bosom, and noticing that Yoru's gaze had suddenly turned disdainful, a strange sense of pleasure welled up in her heart. Yakumo Yukari giggled, waved her fan, and Yoru fell directly into the gap while still sitting.
Bye-bye!
One hand gripped the edge of the gap, and Yege laboriously climbed out. Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, he held the pastries prepared by Yakumo Ran in his hands, made a face at the astonished Yakumo Ran, and before Yakumo Yukari could close the gap, he darted down like lightning.
"Honestly, it's not like we're not going to give it to him."
Amused, Yukari shook her head and instructed Ran, "Ran, where's my dessert? I made one for Yoru, so don't be biased!"
"Um, Lady Zi, that's your pastry. I only made one batch."
"..."
At that moment, Yoru, who was sitting in the temple with Mokou and Keine, enjoying Yakumo Ran's cooking, suddenly shivered, as if she had been targeted by something terrifying.
"Night Song, where did you get such a delicious cake? Shall we go buy another one?"
"Would you believe me if I said I picked this out from between some old woman's teeth?"
Section 52, Chapter 51: On How to Ruin a Kamen Rider
The peaceful days passed very easily, but at the same time they were very difficult to endure. Yoru had been staying at the Terakoya for almost a week, but there was no news from Yukari Yakumo. The only thing worth mentioning was that she had encountered Aya Shameimaru less often.
"Ugh! So boring! When are we going to bomb Monster Mountain?!"
On this day, Ye Ge, who was so bored that he was rolling around on the floor, suddenly stopped. He tried to turn over like a salted fish, but failed because a foot was stepping on his stomach and rubbing against it.
"Are you a human broom sweeping the floor for Huiyin? You look like a dead fish that's about to be pickled. Don't tell anyone I know you when you go out."
With a lollipop in her mouth, Mokou stomped on Yotaka's stomach a few more times in annoyance. Since dating Yotaka, she had finally given up her smoking habit, but she always felt very awkward without something in her mouth, until Yotaka bought her a lollipop.
"Hey! You can't treat your boyfriend like that, Mokou! I was just bored."
Ye Ge spread her toes, sat up, and complained unhappily:
"So much time has passed, and I haven't gotten anything. I can't collect any other materials either. It's so boring!"
"But life in Gensokyo is just like that, it's slow. You have to get used to it. Those youkai who live a long time are all very lazy. If you're always in a rush, you won't be able to enjoy life!"
Mokou taught Yoru like a responsible senior, but she also knew that Yoru might not be able to understand. Although he had become a great youkai, his consciousness was still that of an ordinary person. There was an irreconcilable difference in the concept of time between short-lived and long-lived beings, which was why Yoru felt bored.
Life here is just so... slow!
"So, Mokou, let's make a baby! It'll kill some time."
"Get out! Stop your filthy thoughts. People from Penglai would never have such intentions, so just give up on that idea!"
"Huh? Can't we get in the car first?"
"Want to be burned to a crisp, darling?" (A smile so sweet it's mesmerizing)
"...In no mood."
Another week passed in the agonizing wait. Yoru, who had completely given up, finally encountered Yakumo Ran, who had come to find him. However, his appearance truly shocked Yakumo Ran.
"Mr. Night Song, did you spend the night in a garbage dump?"
Yakumo Ran stared in disbelief at the man in front of her, who reeked of saltiness and was staring motionless at the screen. She couldn't believe that this was the same spirited young man from before. Wasn't this a greasy middle-aged man who was over forty and still couldn't find a wife?
"Oh, you've arrived."
Regardless of how he appeared in front of outsiders, Yoru casually scratched his thigh and stood up from the messy ground. His body was covered in oil stains, and his hair was a mess. The only relatively clean thing was his face, which was still passable. However, his lifeless eyes made Yakumo Ran wonder if she had the wrong person.
"Yakumo Ran, you're here? Looks like it's finally about to begin. Don't look at him, he's really embarrassing me."
Mokou came over with new clothes and a towel. First, she kicked the motionless Yoka with disgust, then stripped him of his clothes and threw the new clothes at him. Finally, she tidied his face and hair. Yoka squinted as he enjoyed Mokou's service, looking very pleased.
"Miss Fujiwara, you..."
Yakumo Ran felt like her worldview was about to collapse. Was this still the same manly man known as "Red the Man"? Are you sure this virtuous woman wasn't a soul transmigrated from Shirozawa Keine?
After Mokou finished helping Yoru tidy up, she finally had time to talk to Yakumo Ran. She sighed slightly, looked at Yoru huddled in his clothes struggling, and shook her head regretfully: "Before, in order to help him get used to the pace of Gensokyo, I had him do some things to pass the time, and I even borrowed some games from Kaguya. And then... sigh! This is how it turned out."
Yakumo Ran looked at Yoru, who was at a loss because of her clothes being tangled, and looked at Fujiwara no Mokou with a mixture of sympathy and awe. However, the culprit was obviously unaware of the image she had become in Yakumo Ran's mind. She walked over and kicked Yoru a couple more times before finally helping her put on her coat.
