My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Yakumo Yukari looked with great interest at the Moon City Goddess, who was holding the "Spear of Heaven" and had her hair tied in a simple ponytail, and spoke lightly, seemingly nonchalantly.

"Nice to meet you, goddess who rules the Moon Sea. I am the sage of monsters, Yakumo Yukari."

"Now that things have come to this, Your Excellency, let's talk calmly."

Yakumo Yukari closed her fan and spoke in a cold tone.

"Although the other three monster lords and I have different reasons for attacking the Moon Sea, the four of us do not need to completely destroy the Moon City."

"How about this, Lady Goddess of the Moon City, are you willing to negotiate peace with the Hundred Demons Night Parade that we command?"

After Yakumo Yukari deliberately emphasized the word "peace talks", she turned sideways to look at Shang Yang and Jue beside her and asked Shang Yang and Jue seriously for their opinions.

"Mr. Shang and Miss Jue, how do you decide?"

"agree."

After a little thought, Shang Yang agreed to Yakumo Yukari's suggestion of "peace talks".

This is also due to the current situation. Inside and outside the Tsuki Capital, the Hundred Demons Night Parade is still fighting with the Tsuki Capital troops. If Tsuki Yomi and Amaterasu are forced to a point where they have no way to retreat, the ordinary Hundred Demons Night Parade troops will be difficult to preserve.

Moreover, Shang Yang also fully understood what Yakumo Yukari meant. To negotiate peace under such a great advantage was actually to force Tsukiyomi and Tsuki no Toshi to surrender to the One Hundred Demons Night Parade of the monsters on earth. It was just a more pleasant way of saying it.

Or, to put it another way, this kind of "peace negotiation" can also be called a "capitulation."

"I agree."

Seeing Shang Yang's statement, Jue also agreed with the suggestion and made his own statement.

Kaku's goal is to gain prestige within the demon tribe and change their prejudice against the mind-reading demons Kaku. During the battles between the demons and the Moon City garrison, Kaku has demonstrated her strength to the demons, especially the terrestrial demons, and has even saved many demons that would have been killed in the Moon City garrison's attacks.

Now, there are some powerful monsters on the earth who voluntarily worship Jue as the lord of their demons and monsters. Jue's goal has been achieved, and it can even be said to be perfect. Whether to destroy the Moon City is no longer the key issue that Jue cares about.

Rather, Jue was more worried that Yue Yejian would disregard his identity and directly attack the monsters of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, causing heavy losses to the One Hundred Demons Night Parade. In this case, the result Jue would not be so perfect.

Hearing that Shang Yang and Jue both agreed to "peace talks", Yakumo Yukari nodded slightly.

Originally, the plan to attack the Moon Sea, which was initiated by her, changed in nature after the other three great monsters joined in.

With the help of Shang Yang, Gu Ming Di Jue, and Feng Jian Youxiang, Yakumo Yukari, who originally planned to launch a test attack on the Moon Capital, had already set a bigger goal, which was to "defeat the Moon Capital."

No matter whether it is negotiation (surrender) or destruction, in Yakumo Yukari's view, it is a complete and total victory. The Monster Sage has her own considerations. Victory has already fallen into her hands, so expanding the fruits of victory is what the Monster Sage should consider. The more monsters return to the human world on earth, the more dazzling the victory won by the Monster Sage will become.

After receiving the statements from Shang Yang and Jue, Yakumo Yukari turned sideways and looked at Kazami Yuuka, who had also stopped fighting with Amaterasu, and asked sincerely.

"What is the attitude of the owner of the large flower field?"

"I don't care about this matter. You decide."

The owner of the large flower field spoke calmly.

"My interest in the Moon Sea is almost gone. I have to make a quick decision. I want to return to the mortal world as soon as possible to take care of my flowers. I want the Moon Capital to give me a Udumbara flower. This is my request."

"understood."

Nodding again, Yakumo Yukari turned her gaze back to Tsukiyomi, Yagi Eirin, and Amaterasu who had come to their side.

"Moon Goddess, Sun Goddess, Moon Sage. Our four chief generals of the Hundred Demons Night Parade all agree that the Hundred Demons Night Parade and the Moon Capital should negotiate peace. What is your opinion?"

"I agree to negotiate peace."

Yue Yejian, the goddess of the moon who rules the lunar sea, answered calmly.

Regarding the negotiation (surrender) or (surrender), Yue Yejian did not feel any psychological discomfort or humiliation. The cold, cruel and absolutely rational goddess of the Moon City did not care about sentimental emotions, but just asked questions in a simple and clear manner.

"State your terms."

"Master Tsukimi Yomi also heard the request of Master Kazami Yuuka, the owner of the large flower field."

Yakumo Yukari opened her folding fan and spoke slowly.

"My condition is..." 9 Ling锍 (four) liu ⒎⑧er pull the moon * ripple

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 149: Marriage

"First: Use the medical technology of the Moon City to treat our injured monsters."

"Second: You must not send out Moon Messengers with the purpose of inciting war among the Earthlings living on Earth."

"Third: Without permission, Moon Messengers are not allowed to enter the territories of the demon race on Earth. Failure to do so will be considered a provocation to the entire demon race."

"Fourth: Without permission, Moon Messengers may not enter towns or villages of humans on Earth."

"Fifth: Under the leadership of the Monster Lord, the terrestrial monsters retain the right to re-enter the Moon Sea. At the same time, we hope to further communicate between the monsters and the Moon."

"In principle, the Moon City agrees to the Youkai Sage's request."

After listening to the conditions proposed by Yakumo Yukari quietly and thinking for a while, Yue Yejian agreed to Yakumo Yukari's request.

"For the details, the Moon City will later send a Moon Messenger to discuss with the Monster Lords on Earth."

"agree."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Yukari nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Shang Yang and Jue again.

"Mr. Shang and Miss Jue, please speak as well."

"I have only one condition."

Jue softly put forward his conditions.

"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons requires the entirety of the Sea of ​​Plenty Plain and the Moon City to search for the remains and spirits of fallen monsters. We have an obligation to bring them back to the mortal realm, and the Moon City must cooperate unconditionally.

"In exchange, we will return the remains of the Moon Rabbits who died in this war to the Moon City. Please bury them properly. The Moon Rabbits, vassals of the Moon City, are also a youkai clan. It is a pity that they died fighting against the youkai of the earth. Please ensure that the fallen on both sides have a place to rest."

This condition made everyone slightly stunned, even Yakumo Yukari looked at him thoughtfully, then nodded slightly.

"……agree."

Hearing what Jue said, Yue Yejian frowned slightly, but then expressed his agreement.

"The Moon City is sending its own people to assist in this matter."

"Thank you very much. I will urge the monsters to complete this task as soon as possible."

He also nodded, and glanced at Shang Yang who was also looking at him, making a gesture, "It's your turn."

"Before the negotiations, we have two captured members of the Moon City who we hope to return to His Excellency Yue Yejian."

After a cough, the young man with gray hair, the owner of Mount Yoshino, calmly brought up another matter.

When Shang Yang saw Yue Yejian nodded slightly in agreement, Shang Yang winked at Jue and continued.

"In the previous battle, we captured the two Moon Princesses of the Moon City. We should return them to the Moon City."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, the Moon Sage Yagi Eirin frowned slightly and looked at the lord of the monsters who controlled the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, the owner of Mount Yoshino, with great confusion.

...Why do I mention this? Didn’t I give these two sisters to you? Didn’t you agree to take them back to the human world?

On this side, Jue instantly understood Shang Yang's intention and almost laughed out loud. However, the girl still suppressed her laughter, raised her fair and soft hands, and snapped her fingers.

A green lotus of the soul, only the size of a finger joint, floated out from Jue's chest, landed on the ground, and then slowly enlarged.

When it grew to the height of a normal human, the Soul Azure Lotus gradually vanished. On the previously empty ground, the two Moon Princesses, Mianyue Fengji and Mianyue Yiji, stood there somewhat uneasily.

Similarly, Yue Yejian, who was wondering why Shang Yang wanted to return his other two daughters, was slightly stunned after turning his gaze to the Mianyue sisters.

Then, the Moon Goddess looked at Shang Yang with a cold gaze.

Filth, a large amount of it coming from the ground, was materialized by some force. It was different from the "clear and pure realm" of the Moon City and posed a deadly threat to the people of the Moon. The invisible and intangible strange filth gathered in the bodies of the Mianyue sisters.

The bodies of the Mianyue sisters have become the most dangerous source of pollution and time bomb for the Moon City.

As if not noticing Yue Yejian's cold gaze, the young man with gray hair coughed again and spoke slowly, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

"The former Moon Princess exiled from the Moon City to the mortal world, Kaguya Houraisan, was dissatisfied with Master Tsukuyomi and provided us with a large amount of top-secret information about the Moon City."

"Now, we have made peace with the Moon City. From now on, the monsters on earth will live in harmony with the people of the Moon."

"Then, regarding this former Moon Princess who, with ulterior motives, has sown discord between the terrestrial monsters and the Moon City, thus triggering a brutal conflict between them. For the sake of maintaining a harmonious relationship between our two sides, I hope that the Moon City will completely expel the sinner, Kaguya Houraisan, from the Moon City, forever exiling her to the mortal world on Earth, never to be allowed to return to the Moon Sea again."

"At the same time, we are officially informing the Moon City that during the previous battle, due to unknown reasons, your two princesses were infected with the ground filth that is extremely dangerous to the people of the Moon."

Having said that, Shang Yang put on a righteous expression, as if saying, "I am the messenger of justice," and looked very righteous.

"Out of consideration for both parties, and to prevent the further spread of filth and the resulting threat to the lives of the Moon People living on the Moon Sea, I request that the Moon City hand over the guardianship of the two princesses to Yoshinoyama Hot Spring Resort. We, Yoshinoyama Hot Spring Resort, will bring the two princesses to the terrestrial world. Furthermore, while on earth, we will provide them with all their necessities and ensure their safety."

Upon hearing this, the sisters Mianyue were stunned at the same time, staring foolishly at the righteous young man with gray hair, the owner of Mount Yoshino and the lord of the monsters on earth.

At the same time, after hearing Shang Yang's words, the Moon Sage Bayi Yonglin also looked at the Mianyue sisters thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

"... Your Excellency Shang Jun's proposal is very appropriate. I approve of it."

After a brief silence, Yue Yejian frowned slightly, and a rare fluctuation appeared in his cold tone.

The moment she saw the Mianyue sisters, Yue Yejian understood that the Mianyue sisters could no longer be used as props. To her, the value of the Mianyue sisters had completely dropped to zero.

...However, even if it is zero, it can be put to good use.

So, the Moon Goddess, who had made the decision in a moment, continued in a cold voice, neither hurried nor slow, and slowly announced the decision that stunned everyone.

"Hōraishan Kaguya must never return to the Moon Sea. To thank the Monster Lord Shang Jun for informing the Moon City of this situation, in the name of the Moon God Tsukuyomi, I have decided to give the former Moon Princess Hōraishan Kaguya to the Monster Lord Shang Jun as a concubine as a token of my gratitude."

"At the same time, Sister Mianyue, it is not appropriate for you to remain in the Moon Sea any longer. Furthermore, considering the current favorable situation between the Moon Capital and the demon tribes on Earth, I have decided that Sister Mianyue, the Moon Princesses, will be relieved of all your duties in the Moon Capital from today onwards and rest peacefully in the Moon Capital Divine Palace."

"Five hundred years from now, the Moon City will send out Moon Messengers to escort the Moon Princesses Mianyue and her sister to the mortal world on Earth. They will marry the Monster Lord, who rules over the monsters on Earth, His Excellency Shangjun. This will maintain and consolidate the good relations between the Moon City and the monster tribes on Earth. They will never return to the Moon Sea again."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 150: Tsukiyomi's Plan

Silence, total silence...

Upon hearing Yue Yejian's unexpected decision, everyone was completely stunned and dumbfounded.

The first person to express his opinion was not Shang Yang or Gu Ming Di Jue, but the younger sister of the Mian Yue sisters, Mian Yue Yiji.

"I... huh?!"

Hearing Yue Yejian's decision, Mian Yue Yiji couldn't help but want to speak out in opposition. However, before Mian Yue Yiji could say another word, her sister Feng Ji covered her mouth.

Yue Yejian ignored it and continued to speak slowly.

"This is a sincere proposal from the Moon City to maintain the overall situation between the two parties. Lord Shang, the master of the Hundred Demons Night Parade, please do not refuse."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone turned their eyes to the expressionless Shang Yang. Bayi Yonglin looked at Shang Yang thoughtfully, then looked away at Yue Yejian and sighed slightly.

"...To think there was such a plan."

Miss Jue's rather annoyed tone resonated directly in Shang Yang's heart. After a brief pause and calming down, Jue asked in a low voice.

"Shang Yang, did you notice?"

"...I understand."

Seeing that Miss Jue did not come here directly, lifting the small shoes on her slender feet, as if to kick herself back to Earth from the sea on the moon, she discussed the plan of the Moon Goddess with herself instead.

Shang Yang, who was already frightened by Yue Yejian's terrifying remarks, finally breathed a sigh of relief and also answered in a low voice in his heart.

"It's obvious that Tsukiyomi is taking advantage of Kaguya's situation. Moreover, Tsukiyomi used Kaguya's marriage as a prelude. Later, Tsukiyomi brought the marriage of the Wataru sisters into the overall situation of the earthly monsters and the Moon City, making it difficult for me... for us to refuse."

Seeing Jue's ruthless eyes like a knife, and Shana's dangerous emotions in his consciousness, Shang Yang ruffled his hair and cautiously changed his words.

"...Actually, neither the relationship between Kaguya and me nor the marriage between the Wataru sisters is the key point."

Shang Yang made a judgment.

"The key is simply 'five hundred years later'."

"Five hundred years later..."

After hearing Shang Yang's judgment, Shana, who was deep in Shang Yang's consciousness, repeated it thoughtfully.

"Due to the war with the mortal world's One Hundred Demons Night Parade, the Tsuki Usagi troops defending against it have suffered approximately ten thousand casualties, and the losses of autonomous combat humanoids are even more incalculable. The Great Barrier of the Sea of ​​Plenty has been completely destroyed, as has the protective barrier of the Moon City. The four underground fortresses surrounding the Moon City have been repeatedly attacked by youkai and are now practically in a semi-abandoned state. Many key facilities within the Moon City that regulate the lunar dragon veins have been damaged, and the remaining losses are incalculable."

"Restoring the Moon Rabbit troops and combat humanoids, and repairing the damage, will take ages. Furthermore, repairing the two layers of the barrier is an extremely tedious task."

"Preliminary estimates indicate that the people of the Moon will spend the next two hundred years focused on 'post-war recovery.' The Moon City's technological weapons research institutes will also need more time to summarize the lessons of this war and design new technological weapons to target youkai."

"Leaving aside Yakumo Yukari's first four requests, the fifth clearly preserves a retreat route for the monsters to migrate to the Moon Sea when the territory of the terrestrial monsters decreases. It also leaves a legitimate opportunity for a possible second conflict between the terrestrial monsters and the Moon City. Tsukiyomi will naturally need many years to restore the Moon City to its normal strength and guard against the possibility of another attack by the terrestrial monsters, the Hundred Demons Night Parade."

"Also, judging from the situation I just detected with the power of Yin and Yang, it seems that Yue Yejian can summon Susanoo again, but it should also take time to complete the summoning ritual."

"Since the people the Moon City is considering marrying are the two Moon Princesses, the Mianyue sisters, who long ago oversaw all political and military affairs of the Moon City, then using the excuse of 'it will take some time for the transfer of power' to delay the matter is perfectly acceptable."

"Three hundred years is too short. There's no guarantee that Tsuki no Toku and Tsukiyomi will be able to complete their plans. A thousand years is too long. The monsters on earth might consider it an insult to me, the general commander of the Hundred Demons Night Parade. Therefore, five hundred years is the appropriate time."
