Fantasy Workshop, starting with making a Purple Mom doll

"That's true."

Nodding, Youqi muttered.

Although the eldest lady described Yakumo Yukari as lazy and leisurely, the Yakumo Yukari he knew was not that kind of person. Anyone who dared to spread rumors about Yakumo Yukari would be punished even if their wings were plucked out.

Tengu wouldn't be so desperate as to not want his life, right?

"Then I have one last question, and it's about you."

"…Just finish asking."

"I wonder if you have someone you like, or if you have any plans to get married?"

"If so, when will it be?"

Looking at Youqi, Wenwen said with sparkling eyes.

Although her content will be strictly processed and modified in accordance with the style of her master, it is still relatively real as a whole. She can feel that there is definitely some relationship between Youqi and Yakumo Yukari. Even if it is not like what Guo Guonian wrote, it will not be too simple.

"??"

"Get married..."

"have not thought."

Youqi, who has a question mark on her head, isn't this a bit off-topic?

One moment he was talking about Yakumo Yukari, and the next moment he was talking about his own marriage? ?

"Ok!"

"Thank you very much for Master Youqi's support!"

After writing the last word, Wenwen said gratefully.

[I said that I don't have a fixed time for marriage, and any time is possible.]

"Can I see what you remember?"

Looking at the notebook in Wenwen's hand, Youqi suddenly said that he didn't know why, but he always felt extremely uneasy.

"You should know that news must be kept absolutely confidential before it is released!"

"It won't be long before you can see the details."

"Please rest assured, we Tengu have absolute professional ethics and will never tamper with or write anything."

"See you next time~"

Wenwen flew into the air in an instant as the breeze blew. She carefully put away the notebook and spoke seriously.

Then, without waiting for Youqi to reply, he turned into a light breeze and disappeared from sight.

"Should we talk to Zi about this~"

After reading Wenwen's entire record, Youyouzi said distressedly that the little Tengu seemed to know something he shouldn't know, and it seemed that he was going to make it into news... Although she thought it was quite interesting and would be very interesting once it was released, it should not be a good thing for Zi?

Shouldn't I say it myself?

Turning his gaze to Youqi, Youyouzi thought for a moment and decided to let little Youqi make the decision.

If her previous request can really achieve the expected results, then this newspaper doesn't matter. If not, then there is nothing we can do.

lsp: After reconsideration, there should be three more chapters of plot, and I should be able to finish this volume in six days!

Gensokyo - Lost Hell: Chapter 21: The Other Side of Purple (4.5k)

"Ah~ Who made us purple?"

Inside the White Jade Building, Youyouzi, who was eating snacks, looked at Yakumo Yukari who came through the gap with a helpless look on her face, and smiled softly.

"It's all because of Alice. What happened before backfired a bit."

Sitting beside Youyouzi without any attitude, Yakumo Yukari said helplessly.

"Hmm~"

"Has the other party started preparing for your and Xiao Xiaoye's wedding?"

Tilting her head, Youyouzi said.

"How is that possible? Youqi's age is not even a fraction of ours."

"Besides, even if I dare to marry her, will Alice dare to accept it?"

Listening to Youyouko's teasing, Yakumo Yukari said unhappily that Youyouko was good in every way except that she could have a bad taste sometimes. The age gap between her and Youqi was not something that could be described by a few numbers, and Alice's personality was such that if she really agreed, she would explode. She had deliberately said that to herself last time.

"Alice guessed the reason why we approached Youqi, and she's a little angry."

"It seems hopeless to find a long-term barrier maintenance for Gensokyo."

While eating snacks, Yakumo Yukari said regretfully.

When it comes to Youqi, Alice's temper becomes extremely bad. When she finds out that Youqi has set her sights on Alice, her attitude towards her changes. It is still possible for her to help improve the barrier, after all, she has found her brother, but there is probably no hope for the subsequent long-term maintenance and the second stage of the barrier.

"Zi, you're still too goal-oriented."

"Contact Xiao Xiaoyou normally, and then explain everything. Given Xiao Xiaoyou's personality, maybe she will help."

“Now it’s not so good.”

Holding her smooth chin, Youyouzi spoke softly.

Now, everything Zi does is for one purpose, and she will do it at any cost. Sometimes this may not be necessary. With normal contact and clear explanation of everything, Xiao Xiaoyou will most likely take the initiative to help.

"...Well, the little guy is not a monster."

Without refuting Yuyuko's words, Yakumo Yukari nodded slightly. She did make decisions out of habit.

After all, this is how it has always been done in the past.

Monsters won't listen to reason. The only way to deal with them is to use all possible means.

But Youqi is not a monster.

“It tastes good.”

While eating the pancake-shaped snack, Yakumo Yukari's eyes flashed with surprise and she said in admiration.

"Xiao Xiaoyou did it~"

"..."

"Although Alice's hopes aren't high, we've more or less completed the task of perfecting the barrier. We were originally prepared to spend more than ten years traveling to the West to find a magician to help us."

Yakumo Yukari coughed dryly and changed the subject.

Sometimes she would also be surprised at Youqi's level. She was not very old, only a fraction of her age, but she had mastered an alarming number of skills, and it seemed like she knew a little bit of everything.

"...Zi, sometimes I really think you are too tired."

Looking at Yakumo Yukari, Youyouzi suddenly said.

"..."

"Six hundred years ago, you organized the Lunar War to eliminate a radical lineage of monsters, resulting in massive monster casualties. Even now, many monsters resent you for killing their ancestors."

"Three hundred years ago, various cruel and cold-blooded methods were used to coerce monsters into helping build Gensokyo."

"A hundred years ago, the rules of Gensokyo were established, forbidding people from approaching the human village, and forcing the demons who built the main force to leave."

"Next, we have to continue to do a lot of similar things."

"Even if Gensokyo is established, most monsters won't remember your kindness."

"Is it really necessary?"

Youyouzi said softly.

She had met Zi six hundred years ago. Zi had never concealed anything about herself from her. It could be said that no one knew Zi better than her.

Only Youyouzi knows Zi's condition best.

really tired.

It's not just now. Since six hundred years ago, Yukari has been planning to build Gensokyo. The radical monsters will definitely oppose it and even destroy the construction of Gensokyo, so Yukari killed most of the radical monsters. The establishment of Gensokyo requires the assistance of monster forces, so Yukari used various means to coerce and intimidate them.

After the initial construction was completed, it was necessary to ensure the survival of humans, but humans could not be allowed to become too strong, so a separate area was set up where only humans were allowed to live.

This also caused most monsters to criticize, and the ghosts left directly.

Recently, if Youqi had not appeared, Zi would have had to spend many years traveling to the West to find a magician who could perfect the barrier.

For six hundred years, Yukari has been doing similar things, and every decision she makes has caused dissatisfaction among the monsters. Even after Gensokyo was established, they might not remember Yukari's good points, but more of her evil parts.

Is it really necessary?

Even though the times change, Zi, who has already broken through to another level, will not be affected in any way.

He appears cold-blooded and cruel on the surface, but in reality he is the complete opposite.

"After all, I've seen with my own eyes that illusory future, a time of prosperity for humanity and the absence of monsters... I can't just sit back and watch."

Listening to Youyouko's words, past experiences emerged in her mind, and Zi's voice was rarely tired.

She is a realm demon.

Real and false, curved and straight, dense and sparse, she is born with the ability to control both sides of the realm. She can do things that most monsters cannot do. It can even be said that there is nothing she cannot touch.

Using her borrowed abilities, she once saw the future of the monsters.

The number of humans will leap forward with time, and the monsters in the world will gradually decline. After hundreds of years, even if they do not disappear completely, there will be very few left. They can only survive in dark corners and barely survive with the help of some rumors. The last time he pursued Youqi, Zi was more certain of this result.

Monsters will perish.

She saw it, so she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

This is the rule of the world's development. She cannot change this rule, but at least she has to find a way to build a fantasy place. This is also the reason why she has been taking action.

"For monsters, reason doesn't make sense. Only strength, conspiracy, and trickery are the quickest means."

Zi said with a sigh.

If possible, she didn't want to use overly drastic measures. It would be best if she could build Gensokyo peacefully, but that was impossible.

Monsters cannot be persuaded by reason.

She tried, but was ridiculed instead, especially by the radical monsters, who were even more disdainful and looked down upon humans. They believed that the world belonged to monsters, and it was already a good thing that monsters had not wiped out humans.

It doesn't make sense.

Monsters depend on humans. Humans can do without monsters, but monsters cannot leave humans.

As long as this rule exists, the human race will eventually become stronger, and the monsters will eventually decline.

In order to achieve her goal, she must be cold-blooded and cruel, making all monsters fear her and obey her orders. Those who disobey her orders will only die. Even if she is unwilling, she must do so.

"It's almost over..."

"Once the second barrier is established and a manager is found, everything will be completely easy."

Zi muttered.

almost.

After six hundred years, half of the goal has been achieved. The first level of barrier and the foundation have been completed.

Next is the second barrier between common sense and uncommon sense.

As long as this barrier is completed, Gensokyo will truly become an independent area. Then we will find a manager for the barrier. Even if it is truly completed, we can let go of the pressure and live freely.

only……

Thinking of the second barrier, Zi flashed a sense of pressure. Compared to the first barrier, that was the real test, even greater than the obstacles of the previous six hundred years combined.

It can even be said that this is the only difficulty at present.

"...Okay, don't talk about work in front of me anymore."

"Take a good rest~"

Listening to Zi's words, Youyouzi said softly.

"Ah."

Relaxing her body, Zi Ye lay on Youyouzi's legs, her eyes closed, her golden hair hanging naturally, and her perfect cheeks no longer had the calmness of the past, only tranquility and ease.

In the outside world, she must maintain her identity as a monster sage and must be feared by all monsters.
