My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"Sister, give it."

"Hmm..." Jue was caught off guard by Lianlian without any psychological preparation. Noticing everyone's stares at her, Jue's pretty face turned slightly red. She looked at the tofu on her lips, hesitant, not knowing whether she should refuse or open her mouth and swallow it in one gulp.

After a little hesitation, Jue quickly made a decision. It was too embarrassing to be fed by his sister in public, so he let Lianlian eat by herself.

However, just as Jue opened her mouth slightly and wanted Lianlian to eat it herself, Lianlian saw her sister opening her mouth slightly and immediately put the tofu on Jue's cherry lips.

"Well."

When her cherry lips touched the soft tofu, she sighed in her heart. She really had to eat it now. She had been completely misunderstood.

So, Jue made up her mind, her pretty face blushed slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, she opened her cherry lips, bit the tofu, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing the delicious tofu, she still looked at Shang Yang with a slightly red face, humming softly, indicating that she had won.

Seeing Jue's deliberately proud attitude, the young man with gray hair shrugged.

"Well, you have a sister, you win... eh?"

Before he finished speaking, Shang Yang was stunned, because the other white and soft hand grasped the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat and juicy beef, and handed it to his mouth.

Ai picked up the beef with one hand and held a small bowl underneath with the other hand to prevent the juice from splashing. She looked at Shang Yang calmly with her dark red pupils and asked softly.

"Want to eat?"

Looking at the pretty face of the girl with long black hair, although Ai's tone was calm, Shang Yang could naturally understand what Ai meant after being with her for so many years.

Stop messing around and enjoy your food.

...Open your mouth and swallow.

Faced with the comfort of love, Shang Yang did not hesitate and went straight over and swallowed the beef in one gulp.

Seeing this stingy person being comforted by a thoughtful act of love, Jue snorted softly, pulled back his chopsticks, lowered his head to eat, and didn't intend to pay attention to Shang Yang.

When he saw Shang Yang eating the piece of meat, Ai also turned his upper body to the side, lowered his head slowly, and quietly ate the food in his bowl.

When this sumptuous dinner ended, it was almost midnight and the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

After dinner, after a short rest, everyone started to deal with the table and dishes. The girls picked up their dishes and walked towards the kitchen, and Shang Yang was responsible for moving the hot pot and table back.

Just as Shang Yang was moving the table to the living room, Kaguya, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned around, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said to Shang Yang casually.

"Oh, by the way, Shang Yang, after you've packed up, please come on a 'date' with me."

"...?!"

Shang Yang almost couldn't breathe when he suddenly heard Kaguya's shocking words. He stared at Kaguya's beautiful eyes without any obvious emotion with an incredible look.

"...Princess, what are you planning to do?"

"...In your heart, how bad is my character?"

Hearing the young man's rude remarks, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City was very unhappy and pouted her cherry lips.

"It's a real date, do you want to accept it?"

…It’s not that I don’t want to accept it.

Hearing this, the young man with gray hair sighed.

When Her Highness the Princess said she wanted to go on a date, Ai, Shana, and Gu Mingdi sisters all stared at her with cold eyes and one curious look.

The curious gaze is naturally the lovely Lianlian.

Fortunately, Jue and Shana, who probably guessed what Kaguya wanted to say to Shang Yang alone about love, simply used their eyes to remind the young man not to get carried away, and then quickly withdrew their gaze and continued to clean up the dishes.

Shang Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed the four girls, especially Ai, leaving.

Kaguya also kept looking at Shang Yang with great interest.

"...I'm not saying anything bad about you, Kaguya." Seeing Kaguya's indifferent look, Shang Yang ruffled his hair, feeling helpless. "You really need to change the way you talk."

"I'm telling the truth," Kaguya snorted softly upon hearing that. "You and I going out alone late at night, if that's not a date, what is it?"

"...or would it be better if I used 'cheat'?"

"...You win," Shang Yang said, his mouth twitching as he casually put the square table away. "Then let's go out."

As he spoke, Shang Yang opened the door of the living room first and walked along the corridor towards the entrance. Seeing his depressed expression, Kaguya covered her mouth and chuckled, then followed him.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 101: Looking up at the Half Moon in the Night Sky

On the rugged mountain road in Mount Yoshino.

The forests in the late autumn nights are not at all like the noisy summer nights with cicadas chirping, but are cold and silent.

Shang Yang and Kaguya walked side by side casually on the rugged mountain path. Shang Yang didn't feel anything, but Kaguya, a stay-at-home girl who seemed to have not left the hot spring villa for many years, was in the mood to play. She actually stepped on Shang Yang's shadow in the moonlight like a child.

"...What are you doing?" Looking at the beautiful girl who kept stepping on his shadow like a little girl, the young man calmly complained, "You are already hundreds of years old..."

"The Moon People and Penglai People have no lifespan."

The beautiful girl playfully stepped on the young man's moving shadow under the bright moon, and smiled slightly with her cherry lips, her voice sweet and ethereal.

"Since my body stops growing after reincarnation on Earth, I'm not even a year old yet, so there's nothing wrong with being childish."

"...Let's get down to business."

Shang Yang, choked by Kaguya's words, had to change the subject.

"Okay~"

Hearing this, Kaguya nodded enthusiastically. Then, while continuing to playfully step on Shang Yang's shadow, the former Princess of the Moon City asked nonchalantly, "Shang Yang, how long will it take before the monsters on Earth attack the Moon Sea?"

Although she was talking about her 'hometown', there was no concern in Princess Harazuki's tone, as if she was just talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

However, Shang Yang was not surprised and answered casually.

"There are still seventy-two years left. What's wrong? Do you want to go together?"

"How could that be possible?" Kaguya waved her hand, indicating that she had neither interest nor obligation to go. "By the way, is there anything missing regarding the information on the Moon City? I can tell you everything I know. Just consider it as rent for these years."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the young man raised an eyebrow, "You became an insider so easily."

"It's nothing important, so it's okay to tell you," the Princess of the Moon City shrugged. "It's just a token of my gratitude to you and Ai for taking me in for so many years. Besides, I'd like to ask you for a small favor."

"It's just a small favor," Shang Yang said as he walked, putting his hands in his trouser pockets and nodding thoughtfully, "Okay, if it's not too much trouble, I'll help you. Tell me?"

"Well, it's definitely not a problem."

Hearing this, Kaguya smiled and said without hesitation, "Help me give my 'Mother' a good punch. As for the power... just hit her with all your might. Oh, and, yes, please try not to hurt my sisters, but it's okay to give them a hard time."

"...What kind of conversion standard is that? How can this be considered a 'small favor'?"

Shang Yang was not surprised to hear such a "filial" speech from Her Royal Highness the Princess, but he rubbed his gray hair in embarrassment and sighed.

"...I'll try my best, but Yue Yejian's skills should be higher than mine. I don't know if I can beat her."

"...As for your sisters," Shang Yang felt even more embarrassed when thinking of the Mianyue sisters, "It's not difficult to be humiliated, but the problem is that I'm not very good at arguing with girls, so this is more difficult."

"Just do your best," Princess Harazuki waved her hand nonchalantly. But after hearing the second half of Shang Yang's speech, Kaguya glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "My 'mother' is also a woman. It seems to me that you have been wanting to take action for a long time."

"That's different," the young man rubbed his gray hair again in embarrassment. "That's 'Yoshigen and the Moon's Goddess, Tsukiyomi'. If I don't take action, she'll beat me to death, even though I can't die."

"Looking for excuses," Kaguya snorted, "But never mind, since you already have a plan, I won't say any more. Oh, and there's one more thing I need to ask of you."

"...You don't like the moon, do you? Do you want me to smash it to pieces?"

The great youkai of Mount Yoshino, the young man with shaggy gray hair shrugged.

"Then you'll have to ask the Saiyan for help."

"Don't joke around, I'm really asking you for a favor this time." Hearing Shang Yang's cold complaints, Kaguya smiled lightly and waved her fair and soft hands, "Please tell Yonglin for me, I'm very grateful to her."

"That's no problem. I'll have to confront the Moon Brain in the Moon Sea," Shang Yang agreed immediately. "By the way, do you mind if I fight her first and then tell her?"

"Whatever, whatever. Eirin and I are both unkillable," she waved her hand nonchalantly. Her Highness's mood seemed to be getting more and more excited, and she even started to compete with her own shadow. "Huh, now that I've heard you, I'm relieved. Also, you know the technology of the Moon City, so be careful."

Shang Yang nodded in response to Kaguya's reminder. Shang Yang would not be careless about the mysterious technology of the Moon City. According to what he knew, just the lunar barrier that covered and protected the Moon City was extremely troublesome.

"That's all?" Shang Yang asked casually, collecting his thoughts. "Anything else?"

"You've helped me enough," Kaguya said, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face. "I haven't thanked you properly until now, and I don't want to ask for anything more."

...You must not push your luck any further.

Hearing this, the young man with gray hair twitched his mouth.

"...Princess, please repeat your exact words when you said you wanted me to marry you."

"...You actually still remember it."

Seeing that the young man actually brought up this matter, Her Royal Highness the Princess pouted her cherry lips in dissatisfaction.

"How stingy."

...It’s not a question of being stingy or not.

The young man sighed.

"Okay, it's such a beautiful moonlit night, stop complaining about me," the princess chuckled at the young man's helpless expression and complained unhappily, "This is really my first date with the opposite sex, so please be serious and at least leave me with some romantic memories."

At this time, Shang Yang and Kaguya had unknowingly reached the top of Mount Yoshino.

Raising her stunningly beautiful face, Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess, who is stunningly beautiful, elegant and dignified, quietly gazes up at the bright crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.

The bright light of the half moon shines on the earth.

Princess Penglai's beautiful clothes were sprinkled with a faint moonlight white.

The bright moonlight shines down, and the peerless beauty under the moon and the crescent moon in the night sky complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

Bright moon, Kaguya.

The bright young man with gray hair couldn't help but be distracted by this beautiful painting.

The long black hair like a waterfall is dyed with light white moonlight.

The beauty under the moon moved in the painting.

The stunningly beautiful face that could overwhelm the whole country gently turned to the side.

The beauty frowned slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in her ethereal and sweet voice as she opened her cherry lips.

"...Shang Yang, what's wrong with me?"

Looking at the stunningly beautiful princess, whose beautiful face was a little confused, the young man with gray hair let out a sigh.

"……nothing."

Then, after a brief silence, the bright young man with gray hair frankly confessed his feelings to the beautiful princess under the moon.

"...I just think, Kaguya, you are really beautiful under the bright moon."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful Princess Penglai was stunned for a moment, then the beauty under the moon covered her face lightly and chuckled.

"Pfft... Oh, this is such a surprise."

"This seems to be the first time, Shang Yang, that you have sincerely praised me."

"I'm very happy."

The beauty under the moonlight covered her face lightly, was very rude, and giggled without any scruples, destroying her original stunning beauty under the moonlight without a trace.

"I've lived with Shang Yangjun for so long, and you've never praised me like this before. I actually thought I wasn't that pretty."

"I just realized tonight that my beauty can still charm you."

"Now I feel relieved."

Seeing that the princess had lost all her sense of beauty and was only concerned with teasing him, the bright and handsome young man had a frown on his face.

The young man realized that he was indeed mesmerized by Kaguya's beauty, and he did not intend to deny it.

The young man would not try to hide this level of frankness.

...But, Princess, please at least be reserved and don't make me think I'm the only one being foolish...

The young man with a frown on his face sighed and rubbed his gray hair.

"Pfft... Lord Shang Yang, what's with that expression?" Seeing the bright and handsome young man's embarrassed expression, Her Royal Highness the Princess held back her smile and comforted him reluctantly.

"Okay, I apologize, but I know you mean it."

"Shang Yang, thank you. I'm really happy."
