My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"Alright, I'm much better now..."

"Is it……"

The young man raised his head speechlessly and looked at the petite girl who was in a bad mood. His tone became a little more serious.

"Turn around. You've burned your tongue too, haven't you? Let me see where you are."

"Well……"

Hearing the young man's serious request, the girl with a slightly red face struggled in her heart, and chose to obey the young man. She turned her face back and shyly stuck out her small tongue.

"Um……"

Seeing Shana trying hard to suppress her shyness, Shang Yang wisely chose not to provoke Shana anymore.

If you provoke her again, she will be so ashamed and angry that she will draw her sword and kill you.

Therefore, Shang Yang just looked at the girl's small and sweet tongue seriously and nodded slightly.

"Okay, that's no problem. Open your mouth and hold the ice cube."

As he spoke, Shang Yang picked up two ice cubes and handed them to Shana's cherry lips.

"……what."

This time, Shana opened her mouth obediently and put the ice cube into her mouth. The cool touch immediately relieved the uncomfortable pain on her tongue that was burned.

Seeing Shana put the ice cubes into her mouth very easily, Shang Yang nodded slightly, took out some more ice cubes, wrapped them in a towel, and gently pressed them on the inside of Shana's thighs.

This action immediately made the girl's face even redder. At this time, Shana had already noticed that she had forgotten to wear socks when she got up in the morning.

Although this is not a big deal, for Shana, who is used to wearing over-the-knee socks, not wearing socks always makes Miss Shana feel like she is not wearing pants.

What's more, Shang Yang didn't care at all at this moment, and placed his hand on the white skin on the inside of Shana's thigh. This intimate contact made Miss Shana feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

Just like that, in Shana's awkward mood of mixed shyness and understanding, Shang Yang carefully applied a cold towel wrapped in ice to the red skin on Shana's legs that was burned.

She didn't take advantage of him at all. Shang Yang knew that allowing him to touch her legs was already the limit of Shana's shyness. If she didn't behave properly, this girl would be so ashamed and angry that she would draw her sword and kill him...

After a busy period, the large red patches on Shana's snow-white skin on her legs gradually disappeared. At the same time, because of the absorption of heat, the ice wrapped in the towel on Shana's thighs was almost melted, and the coolness seeping out of the towel made the girl shiver.

Seeing this scene, Shang Yang nodded slightly. He stopped applying the towel wrapped in ice cubes on Shana's legs and instead picked up a soft new towel and carefully and seriously wiped the cold water stains on Shana's legs.

As Shang Yang carefully moved, Miss Shana's delicate face became redder and redder...

In order to prevent Shana from losing control of her shame and anger and drawing her sword to kill someone, Shang Yang immediately wiped Shana's thigh skin while changing the subject and talking about business.

"By the way, Shana, I haven't asked you yet, how is your collection of causal power going on the Moon Sea battlefield?"

"Well, on that note, things are looking pretty good."

When Miss Shana, who was serious by nature, heard Shang Yang talking about serious matters, her attention was immediately diverted by Shang Yang and she spoke in a proud tone.

"Our actions have profoundly altered the world's trajectory. The 'history' of the monsters' defeat has vanished, and naturally, the single historical structure that maintained this 'history' has also collapsed."

"I have gathered a lot of the scattered causal power. With this causal power, my control over the power of causality will be further improved. As long as my understanding of the power of causality becomes deeper, then soon I will also be able to possess the complete great monster-level power similar to you, Shang Yang."

"That's great."

Hearing Shana's words, Shang Yang nodded slightly.

"In the next thousand years, due to the increase in the number of humans on earth and the flourishing of faith, more and more powerful non-human beings will appear, and great monsters will also appear one after another. Shana, it is indeed a good thing that you can become stronger as soon as possible."

"Yes, I understand that."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Shana nodded seriously.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Shang Yang nodded casually and asked.

"One more thing, Shana. I remember you once mentioned traveling to another world. What was that about?"

"……Um?"

When Shana heard Shang Yang mention this, she was obviously dissatisfied and snorted again.

"...I'm glad you still remember this. I thought you had completely forgotten about this job."

"Ahem, no."

Hearing Shana's complaints, Shang Yang ruffled his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Isn't there no time limit for this task? Furthermore, since the universe doesn't care about time, it probably won't care when this task is completed."

“It’s one thing to have no time limit.”

Hearing this, Miss Shana said expressionlessly.

"Shang Yang, whether you care or not is another matter. This is a matter of attitude. If you want to waste six or seven hundred years like this, I, as your assisting tool, will also be very troubled."

"...To say you're wasting your time is a bit of an exaggeration... Miss Shana."

Hearing Shana say this, Shang Yang ruffled his hair again.

"This world's anomalous, singular historical structure, this world's 'fate,' has yet to be completely cleared. Shana, you've sensed it, haven't you? The anomalous causal lines that permeate this world, lingering in the distant future."

“…Of course I noticed.”

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Shana sighed obviously.

"Seven hundred years from now, this land will have an unusual 'history', a thousand years from now, an unusual 'history', and twelve hundred years from now."

"Shangyang, this world that could have been called 'Fantasy World' has more than just the history of 'Fantasy World' that you and I are familiar with."

"I knew this fact when I first encountered love."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang didn't care and stated it casually.

"Perhaps, I can also guess what kind of history will follow."

"I heard from the monsters in Kyoto that recently in the western region, there is a dog monster called Dougao who is hostile to the leopard cat tribe in the western region."

The news that Shang Yang casually said did not surprise Shana.

Shana just nodded slightly and continued speaking softly.

"I've found a world that's quite suitable. The time here is roughly the same as the time in Gensokyo. One year there is equivalent to two hundred years in Gensokyo. So, do you want to go there?"

"It's not my decision whether to go or not. I need your consent as well."

The young man rubbed his gray hair.

"However, I don't think Ai, Kaku, Renren, and Kaguya would object. After all, this is a very rare and relaxing trip."

"Yeah," Shana nodded again after hearing this, "I also think they should agree."

...clashing.

Just as Shana finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open, a girl with long black hair pushed open the cypress door and walked into the living room.

"Good morning?"

As soon as she opened the door, Ai noticed that Shang Yang and Shana turned their gazes towards her at the same time, so she subconsciously greeted them softly while turning her gaze towards Shang Yang and Shana who were sitting at the table.

When Ai saw Shang Yang and Shana, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and her eyes became confused and extremely strange.

"Good morning, love."

Seeing Ai coming down from the second-floor bedroom and into the living room, Shana naturally greeted Ai softly. However, the strange look from Ai made Shana even more confused, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

“What’s wrong… huh?!!”

While asking curiously, Shana subconsciously shifted her gaze to her lower body, where Ai's strange gaze was directed.

Then, Shana was also stunned.

You should all still remember the posture of Shang Yang and Shana at this time. Well, at this time, Shang Yang's two hands were pressed on Miss Shana's pair of slender white legs stretched forward, and both hands were also gently touching the girl's soft inner thighs...

Shang Yang, who also remembered where his hand was, broke out in a cold sweat. He had only one thought in his mind, which was...

“…It’s almost over.”

Shang Yang was not wrong at all. After hundreds of years of getting along with each other, Shang Yang knew very well how the shy Miss Shana would respond to this situation.

The fact was just as Shang Yang expected. Almost instantly, the petite girl's chilling voice rang in Shang Yang's ears.

"Shang... Sheep...!"

Shana, with a red face, gritted her teeth and called out Shang Yang's name.

At this moment, Shana, who was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, did not intend to recall the current situation or how it became like this.

The petite girl simply followed her body's instinctive reaction, raised her tender white feet like lightning, and kicked towards the young man.

The soft, white jade feet kicked the young man sitting on the girl's body away with a quick and decisive move.

Then, the petite girl, who had thus escaped close contact with the young man, quickly stood up and ran towards the living room door, her face red as she stammered to explain.

"I, I'll go put on my socks!"

"Ai, stop her. Shana's legs were burned in many places by the scalding tea."

The young man who was kicked away by Miss Shana's tender white feet hurriedly greeted the love at the living room door.

"Don't let her wear socks yet. They're not breathable and won't help the burned area heal."

After hearing Shang Yang's explanation, Ai nodded in understanding.

Then, Miss Ai took advantage of the situation and hugged Shana, who was trying to leave the living room, around the waist. She pushed Shana back to the square table without saying anything, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Sit still and lift your legs so I can see."

"Well……"

Seeing the serious love, Shana's face flushed, she sat down again and raised her legs obediently.

At this time, the large red spots on Shana's snow-white thigh skin that were previously burned had mostly disappeared under the relief of the towel wrapped in ice, leaving only some faint traces.

Ai saw Shana sit down obediently as she was told, and after lifting her legs, she knelt beside Shana and carefully observed her snow-white skin which still had traces of redness.

Raising her bare hand, Miss Ai gently pressed the snow-white skin on Shana's thigh, which still had traces of redness.

The obvious touch of the index finger made Shana feel a little shy.

"Shana, no socks today."

After carefully confirming the burned skin on Shana's legs, Ai raised her head slightly, her beautiful dark red eyes calmly looking straight at Shana's slightly red cheeks, her tone firm and unquestionable.

Hearing this, Shana's cheeks flushed, she turned her head slightly awkwardly, and answered softly and shyly.

"I, I understand... Actually, this is completely unnecessary. Ai and Shangyang are both too nervous..."

"It's because you hurt yourself too easily."

Hearing the conversation between Ai and Shana, Shang Yang, who had been shyly pushed aside by Shana, sat back next to her and complained.

"If you were more careful normally, we wouldn't have to be so nervous."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Shana's face turned red and she glared at Shang Yang fiercely.

...Who do you think is responsible for all this today?

"what happened?"

After dealing with this matter, Ai turned his gaze to Shang Yang and asked softly with doubt.

"Why did Shana get burned so early in the morning?"

“…This is my responsibility.”

Hearing Ai's question, Shang Yang ruffled his hair and explained.

"When Shana came downstairs this morning, she was still asleep. I poured her a cup of scalding hot tea, but she didn't even blow on it before pouring it directly into her mouth. After burning her tongue, she subconsciously let go of the cup, and the tea ended up spilling all over her legs, as she had forgotten to wear socks that morning."

After listening to Shang Yang's narration, Ai did not have any intention of blaming Shang Yang or Shana. Instead, she looked at Shana thoughtfully again and asked softly.

"Hmm, there's also a tongue, huh..."

"The burn on my tongue wasn't serious; it was just a contact with scalding hot water."

Shang Yang noticed that Ai looked at Shana again, and he knew what Ai was worried about, so he explained immediately.

"I've already given her an ice cube to hold in her mouth, and I've also applied a towel wrapped in ice to her legs."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Ai nodded in agreement and gently gave Shana instructions.
