Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

Meanwhile, Yukari Yakumo was standing to the side...

Yukari Yakumo: "You two must have come here to talk to me about the Moon People turning into humans."

The demon in the realm maintained a blank expression.

She looked at the two people in front of her who were completely focused on the other person, and suddenly spoke.

At this moment, Kaguya turned her head and looked at Yakumo Yukari, who had spoken.

At that moment, the princess was somewhat dazed by the sudden embrace.

Although the princess in the moon turned her head after Yakumo Yukari spoke, her body remained motionless, showing no intention of letting Kurokawa Kazuya let go.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Kurokawa, did Meryl seem a little envious of me just now? I think I could tell."

Looking at the demon in the distance, the princess on the moon made this statement.

Chapter 114 The Realm Demon Reflects on Family Affection

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

The capricious princess always speaks without thinking.

The demons who had reached the realm of enlightenment finally gained a clear understanding of this at this moment.

After adjusting her emotions and having witnessed the cold and gloomy blonde woman, she chose to directly change the subject.

Yukari Yakumo: "I'm just curious about the relationship between the two of you. It's really strange that an old thing that has lived for thousands of years would fall in love with a human who is not even a fraction of your age."

Kaguya Houraisan: "Living a long time doesn't necessarily mean receiving a lot of information. Kurokawa may have received more information than I have combined over a thousand years."

After finishing her sentence, Kaguya Houraisan pursed her lips and looked at Yukari Yakumo with increasing pleasure.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Would you like to be hugged like this by Kurokawa?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I will refuse, you know?"

He gave Kaguya Houraisan's head a smacked, impatient tap.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Tch~ It's just an excuse. Kurokawa, you just think I don't care about you, but I actually do care about Kurokawa right now, you know? She's a Boundary Demon, we can build a town together that lasts forever. Besides..."

The princess on the moon looked up at Kurokawa Kazuya and closed her eyes: "Kurokawa must really like a disciple like Meryl, who plays games with you and shares the same direction, right?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "But there's no romantic feeling between a man and a woman, is there?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Nonsense! I don't believe in pure friendship between men and women. Kurokawa, you're just running away because of modern ideas."

"Besides, feelings can definitely be cultivated over time. As the man I've set my sights on, Kurokawa, it would be a piece of cake for you to attract Boundary Demon."

Nodding her head seriously, the princess on the moon seemed quite confident about her statement.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

How was he supposed to respond to that?

If such thoughts did arise, then of course they did.

Of all evils, lust is the worst. Judge by actions, not intentions; and judging by intentions, no one has ever been perfect.

That's not how you compare things.

Shaking his head, Kurokawa Kazuya decided to ignore the silly princess in his arms.

He turned to look at Meryl, who was standing to the side:

"Leaving aside all that, Kaguya and I intend to develop and take control of this town for a long, long time, even forever."

"Merry, do you want to join us? The power of the Boundary Demons is indeed quite important to us. Don't listen to Kaguya's words. When you integrate your power into the town, you'll belong to us. I'm just asking if you plan to live here permanently."

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

The blonde, mature woman looked at the man and woman embracing in front of her.

Yukari Yakumo: "The issue of feelings that Kaguya Houraisan mentioned, does that mean you're going to pursue me next?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Emmm...Merry, just think of this as Her Highness's game. Just think of it as her playing with us, or as a team-building activity where we get together regularly to build rapport? Nothing out of line will happen."

He smiled at the blonde woman in front of him as he spoke:

"I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so it really feels weird for me to date someone for a specific purpose. What I'm thinking is that if you're willing to stay here, Mary, we can get along together."

"Actually, family and friendship probably play a bigger role in a long-term relationship than romantic love. We can try to get along with each other with the intention of becoming family or close friends. If it doesn't work out, you can choose to refuse, Mary. After all..."

“Merry, you have only integrated half of your power into the city. We have to rely on you to do anything here if we want to use the full power of our realm. You have the right to refuse all our unreasonable requests.”

Kurokawa Kazuya recounts the current initiative held by the Boundary Demons.

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

A human, whose age is less than a fraction of hers, is planning the future of this great monster.

The demon in the realm felt that he should now wear a disdainful expression on his face.

But think about it carefully, even just from the perspective of interests.

This seems to have only benefits for her and no drawbacks.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Hey, hey, hey, Kurokawa, you've unilaterally overturned my strategy. Besides, I just closed my eyes, Kurokawa, you deliberately didn't receive the signal, didn't you?"

Listening to Kurokawa Kazuya's speech, the princess on the moon poked his stomach with her finger, as if expressing some dissatisfaction.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Your Highness, please speak less."

He lowered his head and pinched Kaguya's cheek.

The latter, however, didn't seem to care about Kurokawa Kazumi's perfunctory attitude. She glanced at Yakumo Yukari and then at Kurokawa Kazumi, a mischievous smile on her face.

Then she looked at Yukari Yakumo next to her, grabbed Kazuya Kurokawa's finger, put it in front of her mouth, and licked it with her tongue.

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

Is this what my cheap master meant when he said I wasn't jealous?

No, this princess's current behavior seems more like she's trying to make fun of her.

It's like telling her, "Family isn't as close as romantic love."

Yukari Yakumo: "Master, your invitation is unnecessary, since I'm pretty much in the same situation anyway. Also, Master, please remember that you still owe me a game."

Maintaining an unchanging expression, the demon from the boundary gave its reply.

It's as if they don't want to dwell on this.

It also seems like an attempt to stop Kaguya Houraisan's current provocations.

Yukari Yakumo: "You came to me probably to help Kaguya Houraisan regain her human form. I've already developed the necessary techniques."

The blonde, mature woman nodded to Kurokawa Kazuya.

A dark crack opened behind Yukari Yakumo. Although half of her power had been integrated into the city, Yukari Yakumo was still able to fully utilize her own power of her realm since Kurokawa Kazuya did not borrow power from her.

An invisible wave enveloped Kaguya Houraisan.

Did fish in the water grow lungs and feet, or did wild beasts on land grow gills and scales?

There isn't much difference between the two.

The Moon People are actually descended from humans on Earth.

What Yukari Yakumo needs to do now is break that dividing line and allow Kaguya Houraisan to return to her original human state.

The difficulty of this matter does not actually lie in breaking the dividing line itself, but in the constitution of the Hourai people after Kaguya of Hourai Mountain took the "Hourai Immortality Elixir".

The constitution of the people of Hourai brings continuous repair; once Yakumo Yukari stops activating her ability, the opponent will recover quickly in a short period of time.

Therefore, while breaking through the opponent's limits and turning them into a human, Yukari Yakumo needed to establish a stable model for continuously applying her abilities.

This was originally quite troublesome for her, since he couldn't possibly cast spells on the other party 24 hours a day.

However, now that he has integrated half of his power into the city, this matter has become easier to handle.

He entrusted the power to the city and operated it with reference to the "Gensokyo System" he had just developed.

Soon, a complete model was created that could continuously unleash the power of one's realm on Kaguya of Houraisan.

At that moment, Kaguya Houraisan was the first to feel the changes in her body.

Then, Princess looked at Kurokawa Kazuya in front of her and suddenly lowered her head.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Excuse me, I must take my leave now."

Speaking very quickly, the princess on the moon slipped out of Kurokawa Kazuya's arms almost instantly, turned around and disappeared in a flash from Kurokawa Kazuya and Yakumo Yukari's sight.

Kurokawa Kazuya & Yakumo Yukari: "?"

The two looked at each other.

Without exchanging any words, they simultaneously turned and chased after Kaguya Houraisan.

They seemed to have noticed footsteps coming from behind them.

Kaguya, who had been jogging, suddenly accelerated, lifting her skirt and letting her black hair fly backward as she ran.

Yukari Yakumo: "Do you need any help?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Yes."

He nodded without hesitation.

How could he possibly abandon Kaguya and run away at this point?

Thus, the boundary began to flow through the golden-haired demon.

It seemed as if she was instructing Kurokawa Kazuya on how to use this power. Kurokawa Kazuya understood perfectly and imitated Yakumo Yukari beside him, gathering the power of his realm.

The purpose of using this power was simple and clear: it was not for anything else, but simply to keep the two of them tracking Kaguya Houraisan and prevent her from disappearing from their sight.

At this moment, Kurokawa Kazuya's gaze was fixed and somewhat tense as he stared at the princess running ahead.

Yukari Yakumo, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.

After all, what she was going through now was nothing compared to the various life-or-death crises she had faced in the past.

She looked at Kurokawa Kazuya beside her, who was in a state of high alert.

She found the other person's nervousness somewhat amusing, since nothing really had happened.

If Kaguya Houraisan were to encounter any problems, she could completely shield herself from the change brought by Yukari Yakumo with her own eternal power.

Kurokawa Kazuya's concern is a completely meaningless act.

But this meaninglessness itself is quite beautiful, isn't it?

There was absolutely no intention to interrupt the other party.

The golden-haired demon and Kurokawa Kazuya walked side by side, chasing after Kaguya of Houraisan.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about the future-related things the other person had just mentioned.

Having long seen through the coldness and warmth of the world, the monster at this moment did not actually experience emotions such as love.

Before witnessing Kaguya Houraisan's condition firsthand.

Yukari Yakumo even felt that a youkai like herself, who had lived for thousands of years, could not possibly have feelings like love.

After all, monsters are beings that are created out of thin air by their spirituality, without fathers or mothers.

They don't even have any collaborations, so it's even stranger that they'd find lovers.

Right now, she's just thinking about Kurokawa Kazuya's suggestion to become family.

Family love is indeed a wonderful thing, isn't it?

No extra effort is needed; just get to know each other gradually.

Feelings can grow gradually as you spend time together, and even if you lose everything in the future, it won't be a big problem.

If we just get to know each other slowly, it will make me feel like there's someone behind me who cares so much when I'm running.

There's no reason to refuse, is there?

But how long can all this last?

Small cracks appeared all over its body, and crimson eyes seemed to be peering out from within them.
