Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 160: A Distant Journey

Wow.

As Ai finished speaking, the cypress door of the living room was opened from the outside again, making a loud noise.

The two sisters of the Komeichi family walked into the living room from the corridor with Kaguya Houraisan. When they saw Shangyang, Ai and Shana sitting at the square table, the Princess of the Bamboo Cutter was the first to greet them.

"Shangyang, Ai, Shana, good morning~"

Then, Jue yawned, raised his hand to smooth the ends of his loose hair, and greeted Shang Yang, Ai and Shana.

"Ha~ Good morning everyone~"

At the same time, Lianlian, who was standing next to Jue, also greeted Shang Yang and others with full energy.

"Brother Shangyang, Sister Ai, Sister Shana, good morning~"

"Good morning."

After greeting the Gumeiji sisters and Kaguya along with Ai and Shana, Shangyang then greeted Jue, Renlian, and Kaguya.

"Don't stand there, come and sit down, we just have something to discuss with you."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, the big eyeball floating on Gu Mingdijue's chest - Jue's pupil, turned its gaze to Shang Yang. After reading Shang Yang's thoughts, Jue nodded thoughtfully, took his sister Lianlian's little hand, took three or two steps to Shana, who was sitting upright without looking away, sat down casually, and asked with some confusion.

"Well, I'm quite interested, but the daily management of the hot spring resort in Yoshinoyama will be a problem. Shang Yang and Ai don't plan to move this hot spring resort there as well, so do they plan to move back?"

"of course."

Hearing Jue's words, Shang Yang nodded as a matter of course.

"Although the years in this world may last for hundreds of years, in our subjective experience, it is only about a year. There is no need to move this house. This is just a journey."

After explaining to Jue, Shang Yang turned sideways and explained to the other girls who were confused about the conversation between him and Jue.

"Let me explain, everyone. Shana and I have suggested that we go on a trip together. This trip will go to places much farther away than our original plans of going to places like Tang or the European continent."

"Shana and I plan to travel to other worlds. We'll collect the causal power that dissipates after the collapse of the abnormal historical structure for Shana. This will also be a long journey to other worlds. What do you think? Are you willing to go too?"

"Other worlds..."

After understanding Shang Yang's words, Kaguya nodded thoughtfully and smiled with interest.

"I'm quite interested... Oh, right. Shang Yang, since Mother has given me to you, does that mean we are husband and wife?"

"...Ahem!"

Shang Yang was choked by the frightening words spoken by Her Royal Highness the Princess in a tone that seemed to be full of anticipation. At the same time, he instantly felt Jue and Shana's knife-like gazes nailing him fiercely. The two girls snorted in unison.

The young man rubbed his gray hair helplessly.

However, Miss Ai, who should have been the most angry, glanced speechlessly at Kaguya who pretended to be ignorant of the world, picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Seeing the girls' different reactions, the young man with gray hair, the young owner of the hot spring villa, sighed helplessly.

"As for a husband-and-wife relationship, you need to agree to it yourself, Princess... Let's not talk about that for now. Princess, if you have any opinions, there's no need to keep laying the groundwork like this. It's a bit too formal. Just bring it up directly. If it's reasonable, we'll all agree."

"It seems I'm a little too rigid."

Hearing the young man's unexpected answer, Kaguya was slightly stunned, and then, Her Royal Highness the Princess burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, my dear husband, but I'll tell you what I'm saying."

After naturally using a title that Miss Ai had never used to address the young man, Her Highness's tone was extremely expectant.

"I was thinking of using this trip as my husband and I's honeymoon... Well, honeymoon doesn't seem quite right, so 'honeymoon year' is fine... Anyway, since it's a honeymoon trip, I'll decide the destination, okay?"

After Kaguya made the request with great anticipation, before Shang Yang could think about answering, Kaguya suddenly turned sideways and grabbed the soft hands of Miss Ai beside her. She looked at Ai, who was stunned by Kaguya's sudden action, with tearful and expectant eyes, and asked pitifully.

"Sister, I have only this one wish. If you agree to let me choose the world I want to go to, I will always put you first in everything I do and won't dare to disobey you in the slightest... Ouch! It hurts!"

Before Her Royal Highness the Princess could finish her show, Ai hit Miss Kaguya on the head without hesitation.

The girl with long black hair had a blank expression and spoke in a calm tone.

"We are discussing serious matters, no joking around."

"……Well."

Her Royal Highness, who was directly suppressed by Miss Ai's knife, covered the place where she was hit by the girl's knife, glanced at her mouth unwillingly, and lay back on the square table, looking deeply hurt and aggrieved.

...Xiao Ai is mighty.

Seeing Kaguya, who always wanted to make trouble, was instantly suppressed by love. Shang Yang, who had always been tricked by the princess for hundreds of years, felt very relieved and wanted to applaud and cheer for his lover.

However, even though he was in a good mood, Shang Yang just coughed and gave advice seriously.

"Stop it, Princess. Shana's abilities aren't yet strong enough to accurately detect the specific conditions in other worlds..."

"Yeah, that's right."

Shana also nodded and confirmed.

"I simply identified a suitable world based on the time flow characteristics displayed by other worlds. As for the conditions within that world, I'm unable to investigate and understand them at this stage."

"Hmm, I see..."

After hearing Shang Yang and Shana's explanation, Kaguya, who was lying on the table, also felt very sorry.

"it's a pity……"

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

After ruffling his hair, the young man continued to ask.

"Shall we vote on this matter?"

As he said this, Shang Yang raised his hand first to express his agreement. Then, Ai, Shana, Kaguya, and the two sisters of the Gumeiji family also raised their hands in agreement.

"Unanimous vote."

Seeing that the girls all agreed to this special trip, Shang Yang nodded.

"Then, everyone in the hot spring villa agrees to travel to another world."

After making a summary, Shang Yang turned his gaze to Jue and answered the question Jue had just raised.

"The hot spring villa is protected by the triple power of "Liang Yi", "Eternity", and "Karma" of me, Kaguya, and Shana. Moreover, because of the protection of the power of eternity arranged by Kaguya, the hot spring villa will not experience the changes of time. As for the residence of you two sisters in the underground world on the other side..."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 161: Preparations before the Journey

Having said that, Shang Yang thought for a moment, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"...Well, Shana, Kaguya, and I will go to your sisters' place later and arrange for protection for your two sisters' residence in the other world similar to that of the hot spring villa."

"Previously, Wen Ju (the youkai Wen Che Ji) sent word that, because of my involvement with Jue Ni, the Yama of the "Hall of Right and Wrong" in the otherworldly underworld have released Wen Ju's spirit from Hell. I sent word to Wen Ju, asking her to stay with Jue Ni for now, and I'll manage it for her. They don't have anywhere else to go right now, and they can usually come here through the random gate (crossing gate) connecting the hot spring resort to Jue Ni and her sister's place."

"During the hundreds of years that we are away, these two mansions will be handed over to the sisters to manage."

"Well, then there's no problem." After hearing Shang Yang's suggestion, Jue nodded and completely agreed with Shang Yang's suggestion.

"I'm very short of manpower right now. Recently, the Yama have sent people to contact me, hoping that I can take charge of some of the affairs of the other side. Some time ago, I also searched for my future pets, Rin and Sora, in the other world, but unfortunately, I couldn't find them."

"When they are supposed to appear, they will appear naturally."

Shang Yang didn't care too much when he heard Jue's regretful remarks.

"There's no need to be too anxious about this matter."

"Yes," Jue nodded again and said softly, "When I come back, I will send the underground monsters to look for it again. After all, part of the underground is now my territory, and I can't do without my future pets to handle some matters."

“Just do what you feel.”

After hearing Jue's words, Shang Yang nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Ai who was drinking tea, and said please.

"Love, please prepare it."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Ai put down the teacup, nodded, and asked softly.

"What's the departure time?"

"As for the departure time..."

Hearing this, Shang Yang ruffled his hair and thought for a moment.

"...Let's do it tomorrow. There's nothing else to deal with anyway."

After hearing Shang Yang's words, Ai did not agree immediately. Instead, she turned her inquiring gaze to Kaguya, the Gu Mingdi sisters and Shana, asking them what they thought.

"Tomorrow, I'm fine."

Shana answered first.

"I'll confirm the Causal Mystery's lock on that world later."

"Tomorrow will be fine."

Kaguya also raised her upper body and nodded in agreement.

"I don't have anything to prepare. I'll help Ai prepare things later."

"Princess, don't be impatient."

Shang Yang spoke up when he heard Her Royal Highness the Princess offer to help pack things for going out.

"Later, you and I, along with Shana, will go to the underground of the other world and first add the same triple protection to Jue and Lianlian's place as we do at home."

"If you want to pack up your things, Lianlian and I will help Ai."

After hearing the conversation between Shang Yang and Kaguya, Jue took over the topic and spoke softly.

"This way we can try to finish everything before we leave in the morning and have some rest in the afternoon, love, okay?"

After saying that, Jue turned his inquiring gaze towards Ai and asked softly.

"Yeah," Ai nodded slightly upon hearing this, "no problem."

Seeing that the girls naturally reached a consensus, Shang Yang raised his hand and snapped his fingers, summarizing.

"That's it, we'll adjourn the meeting."

"I'm going to prepare breakfast."

Hearing Shang Yang's announcement of disbandment, Ai stood up and said softly. Then, the girl with long black hair turned her gaze to the young man beside her and asked softly.

"Shang Yang, come and help me."

"OK, no problem."

Shang Yang, who was originally preparing to connect with Kaguya, immediately stood up and agreed when he heard Ai's request, and walked towards the kitchen with Ai.

Seeing Shang Yang and Ai busy in the kitchen, Kaguya took out two NS from somewhere and handed one to Shana. The two girls started a SPECIAL online battle.

Jue took out a book and a notebook, and started writing and drawing something on the notebook. Lianlian sat beside her, watching her sister's actions curiously.

After a while, Shang Yang and Ai brought out the breakfast they had prepared. After breakfast, Ai and Lianlian went upstairs together to prepare their luggage for going out.

Jue, who originally wanted to help Ai, wanted to confirm something, so he went with Shang Yang, Kaguya and Shana to the house of the Gu Mingdi sisters in the underground world of the other world through the random door set up in the corridor of the hot spring villa, which was connected to the house of the Gu Mingdi sisters in the other world.

In the underground world of the other world, the house of the Gu Mingdi sisters.

"That's it, anyway."

After carefully telling the two very similar girls in front of him the news that he and the other girls would be leaving this world for hundreds of years, the young man with gray hair looked directly at the two somewhat nervous sisters and concluded.

"This mansion beneath the otherworld, as well as the hot spring resort deep within Mount Yoshino, are both entrusted to you two sisters. You may freely use the things in the resort and soak in the hot springs. Other than that, do you sisters have any other questions?"

"No problem, Lord Shangjun."

After hearing Shang Yang's words, the first person to respond to Shang Yang was not Wen Ju, who was the monster Wen Che Ji, but a beautiful girl with an elegant temperament who looked very similar to Wen Ju, but had long black hair, which was different from Wen Ju's aqua blue hair. She was Wen Ju's "sister" and the prototype of the story of the Fusangshen monster "Wen Che Ji" - the ghost of the girl Wen Ji.

The undead girl, who was also wearing a light blue yukata, bowed sincerely to Shang Yang. Her voice was calm, but it was not difficult to hear the gratitude and determination in her tone.

"I, Wenji, will work with my younger sister to protect the residences of Lord Shangjun and Lord Jue."
