Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

However, before leaving, Kurokawa Kazuya almost subconsciously glanced around.

Yukari Yakumo: "What is it?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "It's nothing. I was just a little surprised because my deduction was wrong, but it's not so bad."

He said things that Yakumo Yukari couldn't quite understand.

They then continued to stroll around the town together.

Chapter 128 Princess Kaguya's Pure Talk

At noon, in the standard villa belonging to the Moon Rabbits.

Her long purple hair swayed back and forth. The rabbit-eared girl looked at the princess who had come to her door and almost instinctively stepped back, pressing her back against the wall.

Looking at the beautiful, moon-like face in front of me.

Reisen's first thought was that Kaguya Houraisan had come to cause her trouble.

The red eyes observed the other person's emotions.

Reisen was certain that she had communicated with the other party before taking action, and she observed Kaguya Houraisan's emotions.

She was quite certain that Her Highness the Princess did not mind her interactions with Lord Kurokawa.

It's not just that I didn't notice the mistake emotionally; there was no reason to care about this in the first place, was there?

It's perfectly normal for a young lady from the mortal realm to have a maidservant.

Compared to a normal maidservant, Reisen was just a little bit more scheming of her own.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Tch~ I don't believe that a selfish rabbit only has such a small thought."

Some casual words came from the princess as she entered the room.

Reisen: "Does Your Highness need me for something? Lord Kurokawa has given me some tasks to complete."

With her head down, the seemingly submissive rabbit spoke to Kaguya in a very obedient tone.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Looks pretty good. You've already learned to use Kurokawa as an excuse, huh?"

Seeing the other party's appearance, the princess on the moon waved her hand.

Her Highness's tone was full of teasing.

Then, right in front of Reisen, she casually found a spot in the other person's room to sit down and began to slowly cast an illusion.

Reisen knew exactly what the illusionary image was.

Because she had previously tried out a demo version of this thing with Kaguya Houraisan.

— Twin Fantasy

A game developed by Yukari Yakumo.

As is widely known, Yukari Yakumo created the game "Twin Fantasy" to brainwash youkai.

This allows them to get along harmoniously, learn to cooperate during play, experience the beauty of the game, and gradually learn to cooperate with humans.

but now--

Kaguya Houraisan: "Because the cost of using yokai is much lower than that of cultivators. Although we can't fight people or yokai in the city due to Kurokawa and Mi's rules, as long as we beat up a yokai outside the city, they will behave obediently for a while because of the law of the jungle."

“After returning to the city, I will hand over the work to the monsters and then pay them the city’s minimum wage on a daily basis. Although they don’t understand this, they will definitely want to find a place to spend the money. In this process, they will gradually enjoy life, gradually develop a desire for money, and gradually integrate into the working life.”

According to Kaguya, many groups in this technologically advanced city have started engaging in the business of traveling long distances to capture monsters in order to save costs and grow stronger.

Monsters are indeed not good at cooperating, but in a money-driven society, your job is already assigned to you.

You don't need to think about cooperation at all. As long as you do your job well, you are already participating in this huge social division of labor that uses money as a medium.

Needless to say, compared to the meticulous calculations of human cultivators, simple demons are far too easy to fool.

Kaguya Houraisan: "When I heard this news, I didn't know whether to be happy or pity for Merry."

If Yukari Yakumo is someone who acts solely for her own ideals, then she should be happy.

Because the town's current development is almost inevitable in realizing her ideals.

The demand for better labor and more skilled workers will make the integration of monsters and human groups a natural and unstoppable process.

The reason why Kaguya said she felt sorry for Yakumo Yukari was because...

After finally creating a game that fulfilled my ideals, it lost its intended purpose before it could be widely released for sale.

Don't you feel sorry for them?

Reisen: "Why is Your Highness telling me all this?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, I mainly wanted to mention to Reisen that due to changes in circumstances, Merry has changed the original ending of the game."

The original ending of the game "Twin Fantasy" was intended to incorporate elements of Yukari Yakumo's fantasy.

The ending scene depicts the monster and the human holding hands, living a wonderful life together in a brand new city. But now, this fairytale-like ending feels somewhat out of place in this city.

Yukari Yakumo changed the ending. Because of the city's rapid development, she redeemed herself from her villainous role and subtly hinted in the plot at her desire to integrate the yokai into the rapidly developing human community.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Since the ending has been changed, Reisen, it's okay if you play it all over again, right?"

The princess nodded to herself as she spoke.

Reisen: "...?"

The white rabbit ears swayed, and Kaguya Houraisan paused slightly as she moved.

The rabbit found itself unable to comprehend the princess's way of thinking.

Seeing the other party's expression, Kaguya didn't say much.

The willful princess remains willful.

Her Highness seeks out things she finds interesting.

Just like she told Kurokawa Kazuya in the morning, she wanted to find some acquaintances to create a chaotic scene together.

That sounds like someone who's completely out of their mind, doesn't it?

It's not just that he's a bit slow on the uptake; he seems quite mentally ill.

From Kaguya's perspective alone, this line of thinking isn't actually wrong.

—A princess who takes eternity as a premise for thinking, regards death as commonplace, and feels indifferent to stabbing her lover in the back.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Wouldn't it be more fun if we all had a big, epic battle? Reisen, you're on my side, and we'll crush them all."

The princess nodded and spoke in a very serious tone.

Meanwhile, the rabbit stared intently at Kaguya Houraisan, who was explaining her plans to her.

Reisen: "Is Princess being disliked by Lord Kurokawa?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Huh?"

The princess on the moon turned her head to look at the moon rabbit not far away, and her voice involuntarily rose a few octaves.

Kaguya Houraisan: "That Kurokawa guy would never say anything bad about me."

Reisen: "Then, Your Highness, you must be very lonely."

The selfish rabbit spoke softly in a low voice at this moment.

Kaguya of Mount Penglai: "..."

They fell silent for a moment.

Kurokawa Kazuya had said the same thing to her that morning.

Reisen: "If you don't have anything to do, why don't you play some games first? I still have some things to do."

Looking at the princess before him, the rabbit gradually relaxed.

She then ignored the princess in the room, merely nodded to her, and prepared to do her own thing.

Then, exactly as expected, Reisen's ear was grabbed by Kaguya Houraisan, who reached up from behind.

The rabbit wasn't surprised by this.

She simply remained in the position of having her ear grabbed, tilting her head back to look at the beautiful princess who was grabbing her ear.

In the end, it was Houraisan Kaguya who first released the other's ears.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Tsk~ It's so boring. And that guy Kurokawa too. I told him I would not only create a super chaotic scene for him, but also that I would disrupt his communication with Merry, and he was completely unmoved."

As she moved away from the rabbit in front of her, the princess on the moon muttered with considerable dissatisfaction.

Reisen: "Perhaps it's because Lord Kurokawa had already made preparations for you, Princess, to do all of this."

Kaguya Houraisan: "In that case, can't he find something fun for me?"

Like a naughty child, the elegant princess lay down on the tatami in Reisen's room, making quite a fuss.

However, she herself knew in her heart that it was completely useless to rely on Kurokawa and Mi to find her interests.

When two people are having fun together, it's their happiness, and it doesn't really have anything to do with entertainment itself.

Kaguya wants to find something she wants to do, but she has to eliminate Kurokawa Kazuya as an obstacle.

After all, she already had very little interest in the things around her, and being with Kurokawa Kazuya made it impossible for her to distinguish between what she liked and disliked.

Perhaps in the end, it will turn out that whatever Kurokawa Kazuya likes, she also likes?

The princess on the moon, the empty princess, the princess who betrayed the moon capital and had already lost everything.

The state of emptiness will not disappear just because Kaguya transforms back into a Lunarian; it is her original state.

If Kaguya Houraisan in the past could act in pursuit of human emotions...

So now, Kaguya of Houraisan is able to possess human emotions.

What else could she possibly look for?

Reisen: "Doesn't Your Highness enjoy playing all sorts of games? You can just go play as usual now."

At this moment, the rabbit gave advice to Kaguya of Houraisan.

Kaguya Houraisan: "I'm quite good at playing with me, but how should I put it... there's something about it that doesn't feel right, you know?"

Waving her long sleeves, the princess in the moon gestured to Reisen in front of her.

Kaguya Houraisan: "When I was still a Moon Person, when I played games, I would have a special, almost blind-box-like feeling of anticipation. I would imagine how normal humans would react to these things, but now..."

She shook her head at the rabbit in front of her.

Once you truly possess human emotions, because you can fully feel them, you lose that wonderful pleasure you had at the beginning.

Kaguya Houraisan would have to give this a middle finger and say, "That's it?"

Because she possesses human emotions, the very concept of human emotions has gradually lost its mystique. It's simply impossible for Kaguya to pursue emotions as she did in the past.

Kaguya Houraisan: "No, no, no, I'm getting more and more bored. I want to see rivers of blood, but if there really were rivers of blood, Kurokawa would definitely be unhappy."

Kaguya Houraisan: "Aa ...

Hugging herself, the elegant princess began to roll around very inelegantly on the tatami mats in Reisen's room.

Meanwhile, the rabbit on the moon watched as the princess he remembered from the past transformed into her current form, and for a moment felt a strange sense of things having changed.

Human emotions are truly terrifying things, aren't they?

The once elegant Princess Moon has become like this after being tainted by just one little thing.

Chapter 129 Kaguya's New Game

The capricious princess spun around on the ground.

From Reisen's perspective, the princess with a human side seems much more approachable than before.

Of course, it's also possible that because she had contact with Kurokawa Kazuya yesterday and knew that the princess couldn't do anything to her, she became even bolder?
