Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

The refreshing fragrance lingers around the nose, and the softness of the body can be fully felt even through clothing.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Whether I win or lose, Kurokawa, you must make me, who is temporarily in human form, feel... well, feel that you care about me. At the very least, you must make sure that I won't waver whether I win or lose. Humans can be jealous."

The morning sunlight outside the window is so bright.

As soon as morning arrived, the princess on the moon extended an invitation to Kurokawa Kazuya.

Just like before, she closed her eyes to Kurokawa and Miya, surrendering herself entirely to the boy in front of her.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, right..."

As their cheeks drew closer, the princess suddenly opened her eyes and spoke again.

Kaguya Houraisan: "After this, Kurokawa should go see Merry, right?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

To suddenly bring up something during such an intimate moment, Your Highness, you must have done it on purpose.

Looking at the beautiful princess's sly smile in front of him.

Although Kurokawa Kazuya was certain that the other party was doing it on purpose, he was completely unable to feel any negative emotions.

Rather, Princess looks quite adorable like this.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Yes, we agreed to strengthen our communication with Merry. We should be taking a walk around the town together next."

The promise he made to Kaguya Houraisan when they communicated with the other party was probably that Yukari Yakumo would become the target of their romance, and then Kaguya Houraisan would assist Kazuya Kurokawa in the romance.

However, the reality is probably that you and the other person will just wander around the town alone.

Leaving aside the various hidden agendas, deepening the relationship between the two is quite important for both Kurokawa Kazuya and Yakumo Yukari.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Understood."

He nodded happily, without waiting for Kurokawa Kazuya to say anything more.

The princess before him closed her eyes again.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

What could he say to the silent princess?

Because they had no idea whether the princess in front of them was in human form or not.

At this moment, Kurokawa Kazuya simply embraced her, maintaining their previous posture.

Speaking of which, should we go to the Lunar Capital and redeem Kaguya if we have the chance?

There are two ways to break the current state where Kaguya Houraisan can only be touched.

One option is for Kurokawa Kazuya to redeem the other from the Lunar Capital. However, this would subject him to the control of the Lunar Capital, and he wouldn't be able to determine when Tsukiyomi would reclaim the authority over Kaguya.

Another way is to find a way to directly destroy the Lunar Capital.

If you can defeat Tsukiyomi, then you don't need to worry about anything else.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Kaguya, you're actually quite afraid of being alone too."

He spoke in a somewhat joking manner while holding the girl in his arms.

He was answered by a soft murmur from Kaguya Houraisan.

Chapter 126 Strolling Through the Market with the Boundary Demon

A bustling crowd moved about the area, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.

Various oddly shaped buildings have expanded the original area of ​​fixed houses.

The market in the city of technology was no longer the same as the one that Kurokawa Kazuya was familiar with. He hadn't stepped into this place for a long time, and when he first entered, he even felt a sense of disorientation.

What I saw before me was a real, complete market, a place where people gathered.

Compared to its initial sparseness, it is now more bustling than ever before.

Civilization may only need a catalyst, a clear path forward.

Once they have a direction, people who yearn for a better life will naturally rush towards that path.

This process didn't even require much involvement from Kurokawa and Miyako.

In today's technologically advanced city.

The rental business of religious implements has gradually stabilized at a reasonable price through the automatic adjustment of the market.

In order to earn more income, ordinary people in the town are becoming increasingly skilled at making their own food.

Some cultivators saw a business opportunity and chose to join in, using their extraordinary powers to participate in cooking, animal husbandry, and the cultivation of special crops.

Various matters that Kurokawa Kazuya had wanted to forcefully push forward in the past.

Now, without any prompting from him, all sorts of people are already rushing to get started and working with full concentration.

Of course, there were also many cases of thievery, cheating, and even murder and robbery.

However, under the selfless and dedicated leadership of the Moon Rabbit, and in accordance with the various terms and conditions set by Reimu Hakurei, all kinds of rulings are being carried out in an orderly manner.

They anchor themselves to religious artifacts and various forms of enjoyment.

The resources of cultivators began to truly transform into currency and gradually circulate.

Because of the circulation of currency, in order to earn currency, various cultivators also choose to engage in professions that they would never have done before.

After all, the money earned from selling things, farming, and brewing wine is no longer something that can be spent at all, unlike in the past.

Nowadays, this money can be used to rent religious artifacts, buy faith, and use them to assist in one's own cultivation.

In the past, cultivators who were detached from the world and had no other needs from the mortal world besides their faith could clearly find that they now had a longing for everything in ordinary society.

But in this city, they can no longer treat ordinary people arbitrarily as they used to.

A basic order has been established, and the unquestionable rulings demonstrate deterrence.

"come yet?"

A clear, slightly indifferent voice rang out beside Kurokawa and Miya, who were deep in thought.

Walking through the market, we arrived at the junction square.

Kurokawa Kazuya turned his head and a familiar figure came into view.

He wore a purple robe, a white felt hat, and carried a purple lace parasol.

Her long, golden hair, reaching her waist, swayed with her movements.

—Boundary Demon Yakumo Yukari.

Or, to use a name more familiar to Kurokawa Kazuya, Merry.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yukari Yakumo: "It's alright. After all, Master, you're busy in your room in the morning, so it's normal to wait a while."

She closed the book she was reading, tossed it into the crack in the space behind her, took two steps forward, and nodded to Kurokawa Kazuya.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Am I involved in some strange rumor? This morning, Kaguya and I..."

Yukari Yakumo: "So Master was with Kaguya Houraisan? I was just saying, but the speed at which you're revealing yourself makes me suspect that you're actually showing off to me."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Um...maybe there really is a hint of showing off in it?"

After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked in a questioning tone.

Yukari Yakumo: "Master, your appearance is quite different from the wise image I imagined."

The blonde, mature woman gave a cold assessment.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Then I think you've completely misunderstood, Mary. I don't seem particularly wise."

He started complaining about himself.

Yukari Yakumo: "The person I chose is too stupid, I can't stand watching them."

The blonde woman made the following assessment of Kurokawa Kazuya beside her.

Her mindset at that moment was quite peculiar.

As per their previous agreement, in order to deepen their relationship...

Today is the time that Kurokawa Kazuya and Yakumo Yukari had agreed upon.

Although they didn't dress up specifically, the yokai in the realm actually took inspiration from human attire and commented on their own appearance.

If her true identity as a demon were concealed, she would undoubtedly be a beauty among humans.

She had originally thought that Kurokawa Kazuya would be more enthusiastic about going shopping together today.

After careful consideration, Yukari Yakumo even prepared some prepared lines for her refusal.

But the other party is now completely under the control of the princess on the moon.

Although she knew this was a perfectly normal thing to do, Yukari Yakumo still felt like she had been outdone.

It's not a matter of feelings or not.

However, Yukari Yakumo now regards Kazuya Kurokawa as a treasure and intends to entrust a part of her future to him.

Given this, it's quite normal for a demon with such a high level of cultivation to want to take first place.

However, this idea had barely formed in his mind.

He was immediately dismissed from his mind by the blonde girl shaking her head.

Wise people do not fall in love; wise people are always rational.

Everything is going well right now, and she doesn't want to cause unnecessary chaos because of her own little thoughts.

For Yukari Yakumo, being able to peacefully watch her ideals come true step by step is probably the most wonderful life.

Yukari Yakumo: "Then let's take a good look around. Master, you don't seem to pay much attention to the details of this city, do you?"

The blonde girl had clearly noticed Kurokawa Kazuya's bewildered expression when he first entered the market.

At this point, she took the initiative to suggest a direction for their next joint action.

However, upon closer reflection, it's quite normal for Kurokawa and Ya to feel lost.

In the development of the technology city, Kurokawa and Mi have always grasped the overall direction and left the details to others.

His main focus has always been on planning for enhancing the city's strength.

As for the details of the city's development, it was originally the responsibility of Hanami, but now it is the responsibility of Yukari Yakumo and the clone controlled by Hanami.

However, in the past few days, because the blue-haired girl has been busy with things in the modern world, it has been mostly Yukari Yakumo handling things.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Then I'll trouble you, Merry, to explain it properly."

Yukari Yakumo: "No problem."

Nodding, the blonde girl raised her white parasol and opened it in the sunlight.

Yukari Yakumo: "I've applied a power to the umbrella that shields it from the perception of those around me. Master, please come in. You don't want to be seen and chased by a bunch of people while you're out shopping, do you?"

The girl spoke to Kurokawa Kazuya.

Kurokawa Kazuya didn't stand on ceremony and came to Yakumo Yukari's side, joining her under the parasol.

The midday sun cast long shadows on the parasol.

A dense crowd of pedestrians walked around the two of them.

They probably knew that the blonde girl in front of them was a very rational and intelligent person.

When Kurokawa Kazuya was in front of her, he didn't have the same extra thoughts he had when facing Reisen.

Having survived for a thousand years and experienced both warmth and coldness, the Boundary Demon is probably the least likely individual in this town to develop romantic feelings.

Because the hope was so slim that it was almost nonexistent, we actually felt relaxed when we were together.

The two began to stroll through the town's market.

Because they were shielded from the perceptions of those around them, the two people walking in the bustling city under their umbrellas had a strange feeling of being alone.

Thanks to this, Yukari Yakumo was able to introduce various things in the market to Kazuya Kurokawa quite casually.
