"stern?"

Overwhelmed by the huge change, Yakumo Yukari grabbed the fabric of her shirt in panic, rushed to the lake, and screamed.

However, the lake, which had been filled with strange phenomena just now, was now extremely calm. If there was one difference, it was that although there was still a full moon in the sky, the shadow of the moon in the lake had completely disappeared.

"cold!"

The woman's last cry lingered around the lake shore for a long time.

……

This separation may last only a hundred years.

Ah...well, isn't it just that Kaguya finally realized the heroine's position and snatched the man away?

Chapter 4: The Flight of the Bamboo Cutter (5/)

“Kaguya…”

Feeling something licking her face, Rin opened her eyes and her consciousness was pulled away from the image of Kaguya under the moon.

The rough little tongue was still licking him. He sat up suddenly, and a little white rabbit with a plump round butt in front of him fled in panic in fear.

Lin wiped the smear on his face from the little white rabbit with a helpless look, stood up and looked around, and saw a bamboo forest.

"Sister Zi?"

He was a little uneasy and shouted loudly, but there was no response except the rustling of bamboo leaves blown by the wind.

He raised his arm and looked at his hand, ignoring the torn part of his sleeve. The dragon head jade was emitting a faint light.

"Could it be related to Kaguya?"

Thinking of the previous vision and the pillar in his hand, Lin looked around the bamboo forest again, frowned, and a guess emerged in his mind.

Could it be that I have traveled through time again? If this assumption is true, then... could this be the Bamboo Cutter Forest?

He held up the jade dragon head and looked at it carefully towards the sunlight. Apart from the fact that it was shining, it looked no different from usual.

"Forget it... Let's go check out the situation first."

Staying here and thinking about it is no use, so Lin put the dragon head jade back into his phone, equipped himself with his double swords, and walked in the direction ahead.

The bamboo forest was very large. Lin hadn't been able to walk out for at least ten minutes. Instead, it felt like he was going deeper and deeper. However, there were signs that the bamboo had been cut down in some places he passed by, which made him feel a little relieved.

After checking the footprints on the ground that had not been completely covered, Lin stood up and just after taking two steps, he heard a strange noise faintly.

He suddenly started running, his figure weaving through the bamboo forest and running towards the location where the sound came from.

"Help! Help!"

That was a cry for help from an old voice. Rin could already see a man in his fifties who was running for his life, and a monster with a green body, a green face and fangs behind him.

So he manipulated his "qi" and leaped closer to the man and the monster with a few leaps.

The old man staggered and fell to the ground. Seeing the floating monster rushing towards him, he hurriedly grabbed the bamboo chopping axe and waved it frantically.

At this time, Lin finally approached the monster, paused, grasped the scabbard with one hand, grabbed the handle of his own sword with the other hand, and pushed hard against the ground. The whole person turned into an afterimage, with the light reflected by the blade, pulling a straight line from the side of the monster.

A green arm flew up, and disgusting green blood also flew up. Lin swung his sword and cut off the side of the low-level monster before it could react.

One second after being cut off, the monster turned into two pieces of bamboo and fell to the ground, obviously dead.

Lin put away the knife and turned to look at the old man who had escaped death and was gasping for breath: "Old man, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay. Thank you, benefactor."

Lin nodded, looked at the old man who had stood up and seemed to be in good health, and continued to ask: "Old man, do you know where this is?"

"This is the bamboo forest behind Heijokyo-kyō. Young man, you are from outside, right? Would you like to come to my house and have a seat?"

"This place... might be the Bamboo Forest."

Lin thought silently in his heart, and shook his head at the old man: "I still have someone to find, I appreciate your kindness."

"Okay... I'll continue chopping bamboo. If you need any help, just come to me. Oh, I'm Bamboo Cutter."

"!!!"

Lin almost exclaimed, and quickly turned around to take a closer look at the old man in front of him.

Bamboo Cutter... Could it be the Bamboo Cutter who picked up Kaguya and became her father in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter?

Being looked at by the young man with strange eyes, the old man smiled slightly, his face wrinkled: "As for the name, it has long been useless and forgotten, but I have become accustomed to calling it Bamboo Cutter."

"Um……"

Rin was about to ask whether the Bamboo Cutter had a daughter, but an old and thick bamboo beside him suddenly shook a few times.

Rin and the old man Taketori looked over at the same time, and the bamboo actually began to emit a faint green fluorescence.

"Is it a monster?!"

Compared to the frightened old man, Rin was much calmer. He narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled the legend of the Bamboo Cutter. His whole body trembled, and his face and eyes were filled with joy and anticipation.

He couldn't wait to take a step forward, draw out the knife and want to chop it in half. But he hesitated whether it would hurt the people inside. After thinking it over, he controlled his strength and carefully chop the bamboo in half.

The green light of the bamboo itself was obscured by the faint blue light spots, and it was surrounded by a halo like moonlight, and the shape of a baby gradually appeared.

The baby had a bamboo leaf draped over his body and was sleeping soundly with his head tilted to one side. He looked to be about one year old, with short, soft black hair on his head, and he looked very cute with his chubby face.

Lin felt like her heart was about to stop, completely filled with surprise, warmth and softness. She bent down and gently picked up the little baby girl, her eyes full of tenderness.

“Kaguya…”

He muttered to himself, even feeling a little wet in his eyes, and hugged the baby girl tightly against his neck.

The moment Lin called out her name, the baby girl in her arms suddenly opened her eyes. Her black eyes, as bright as stars, sparkled with an indescribable light. Feeling that she was being held tightly, she showed a vigilant look like an adult.

"Kaguya... I finally see you."

A drop of water slid down the baby girl's face. She looked up at the boy's chin in confusion, her mind racing.

Who is this guy? Why does he know my name? Why is he still hugging me and crying? So strange...

Wow! I was hugged by a damn Earth ape!

"Sorry... that's rude."

Feeling the movement of the baby girl in her arms, Lin raised her head, stood up from the ground, and supported her with her arms in the posture of holding a baby in TV dramas. Looking at the baby girl's expression that seemed like an adult, she smiled slightly.

"Long time no see, and nice to meet you... Kaguya."

“Ah… ahhh.”

Kaguya opened her mouth and wanted to question this total stranger why he knew her name and what his conspiracy was. But when she opened her mouth, she just uttered the sound of a baby and quickly closed her mouth.

“Miracle… This is a miracle!”

After recovering from his shock, Taketori Ogami suddenly knelt on the ground and prayed to the god he thought he was.

Rin reached out and touched the baby Kaguya's soft hair. She really wanted to take Kaguya away, but then she changed her mind and thought whether it would affect the future if history was changed. She had to give up and looked at Taketori.

"Old man...you and your wife still don't have any children?"

The Bamboo Cutter, who was lying on the ground, raised his head quickly: "How did you know?"

"Actually, I am a wandering Yin-Yang master..."

Lin was not angry when the chubby little paw patted his arm. He said seriously, "The heaven saw that you were old and had no one to rely on, so he specially sent down a child, the baby in my arms, to be your daughter in the future. The god ordered me to find this child of the gods and protect her."

"Really...really?"

The old man stood up from the ground tremblingly and walked hurriedly into Lin, full of disbelief, hiding joy and expectation: "Is this really a gift from God to me?"

After a lot of nonsense, he made Taketori completely believe him. Seeing him with trembling hands and a loving face wanting to hug Kaguya, although Rin was very reluctant to give his future wife to his father-in-law, he couldn't help but soften his heart and handed her to Taketori.

Kaguya turned her head to look at Rin, her eyes filled with anger.

The strange thing was that even though she didn't say anything, Rin could sense what she was thinking.

You are a charlatan! A big liar! A disgusting earthling!

"Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I will have to bother you from now on, ahem... I think you must be tired holding the baby, so let me do it."

He forcibly snatched Kaguya back into his arms, and with a smile on his face, he touched Kaguya's hair, pinched her nose and touched her mouth. While she was looking at him with a look of "I'm so angry I'm going to kill you", he bent down and kissed Kaguya's forehead.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. She felt that she, the dignified Princess of the Moon, was being molested by the filthy and dirty humans on Earth. Kaguya screamed and struggled, twisting her body and scratching and waving her chubby little paws around.

"Hehe, it turns out Kaguya was so cute when she was little..."

Grabbing her paw, Rin liked it more and more, and couldn't help but express her feelings. The baby girl stopped struggling and opened her eyes wide, and Rin immediately understood what she meant.

"As for me..." Rin scratched her nose and whispered in her ear, "I traveled from the future to find you. I am also your future husband, Jingu Rin. Please give me your guidance, Kaguya Houraisan."

Chapter 5: WOC sister Hongtan, what on earth have you been through? ! (5/)

Kaguya the Bamboo Cutter.

It is Kaguya's current name, and it was also given by Rin, which fits the course of history perfectly.

Rin has now guessed most of it. The accident by the lake must have been arranged by either Kaguya or Eirin. Otherwise, how could she have traveled through time again by such a coincidence? And looking at her phone, the time went forward to 701 AD, and she happened to meet Kaguya again.

The question now is, how to get back? Maybe by accompanying Kaguya, we will gradually find some clues.

Alas, I had just confessed my feelings to Sister Zi, and then I encountered the time travel incident. I just hope she won’t worry too much and that the time gap won’t be too far after I go back.

Damn it! I haven't persuaded her to join the harem yet!

Or... think of a way to leave a mark in Heijokyo for Sister Zi, maybe she will see it in the future? At least she can feel at ease.

Not knowing why, she always felt like she was being watched by some vague gaze, so Rin hurriedly urged Taketori to go home.

Rin carried Kaguya all the way to the small house of Taketori Ogura in the bamboo forest. He looked down at Kaguya, who was lying quietly in his arms with her eyes wide open and wrapped in his clothes.

Kaguya didn't believe what he said and still had 100% doubt. Unfortunately, she had completely lost her abilities and turned into a mortal. After a while of struggling, she could only accept her fate.

Poking her face, under Kaguya's angry eyes, Rin changed his posture so that she could lean comfortably in his arms and look forward.

"This is where we're going to live for a while... I hope to meet Eirin soon."

“Ahhh.”

Kaguya laughed sarcastically, and her bright eyes made it clear that by the time you see Eirin, you won't live for more than two seconds and won't even have a complete corpse.

"How could that be? Yonglin has such a good temper. Before I traveled back in time, she was still preparing clothes for our future children. Maybe there is a way to make the Penglai people give birth."

Listening to him shamelessly saying shameful things, Kaguya became so angry that she stretched out her claws and scratched his face. She wished she could grow up immediately and press the face of this hateful boy on the table and beat him up.

"Don't make trouble, be good and be a good baby."

Recalling the times when Rin was bullied by Kaguya in the future, he finally got the chance to bully Kaguya, so how could he let it go? He teased little Kaguya again, full of bad intentions.

Kaguya was still in her young form and was very weak. She began to feel sleepy before she could resist for long. Her eyelids started to droop and she subconsciously grabbed Rin's clothes, turned her face away and fell asleep.

Holding Kaguya in his arms, fatherly love and romantic love were intertwined, making Rin imagine what their future daughter would be like.

Huh? You said it could be a son? No, no, no... Sister Zi is right. Sons are naughty and not cute. Daughters are so good. Daughters are daddy's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket. I want a daughter in the future!

When I entered the Taketori's house, I saw Mrs. Taketori, a kind old woman with white hair. She was also very happy to hear what Mr. Taketori said, but she was afraid of waking up Kaguya, so she could only watch silently for a while and then turned around to clean up a room.

The Taketori couple, who had always wanted a child, were alone and helpless. Because they missed their child so much, they made several cradles out of bamboo.

Rin carefully placed Kaguya into the prepared cradle, then left the room and continued to brainwash the Taketori couple outside.

After completing the missionary work of Kaguya Cult, Rin thought about it and realized that there were not many children's products in his mobile phone space. Although the Taketori family had children's clothes, they lived in poverty and it was difficult for them to have decent children's products. He had to buy these himself.

After saying something to Taketori, Rin followed the path towards Heijokyo, away from the Taketori household, and the strange feeling of being watched disappeared.

……

The current Heijokyo is not much different in structure except that it is a little smaller than it will be two hundred years later. But after all, there have been two hundred years of ups and downs, and the houses must have changed a lot.

It was almost noon at this time, and people were walking on the street. There were all kinds of shops around. Rin searched almost the entire street and first bought all the clothes that Kaguya had worn since she was a child.

His requirements are not high. He just wants something good-looking and expensive. The better and more expensive, the better.

As for entertainment... emmmm, Kaguya is not a real child, so she doesn't need toys. Rin thought about it. Although she didn't bring a game console, she had downloaded a lot of mobile games. It would be nice to lend it to her.

After stuffing a lot of bags into his phone, Rin leisurely strolled down the street. On the one hand, he wanted to see if Kaguya was missing anything, and on the other hand, he wanted to see how he could leave a message for the future Yakumo Yukari.

Crossing the street, the houses here were even more luxurious and grand, as if they were the residential area of ​​the nobles. Rin looked around curiously and unknowingly walked to the side of a huge luxurious mansion.

"Well... let's go back."
