Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

Time always changes many things, and even the best feelings between people from two different worlds will gradually fade.

They were truly prepared to advise Banami at some point in the future.

However, their idea about the future was interrupted by Banami as soon as it began.

As a father, Hanami Hōka looked at his daughter.

He even suspected that his daughter had discovered the couple's secret feelings, which led him to take such drastic measures.

The daughter they knew in the past would never do such a thing, but the current Anzu Hachimi is not the one they knew anymore.

In the memory of her father, Banami Fumin, his daughter Banami Anna was incredibly decisive and efficient when doing things she didn't care about.

However, when it comes to crucial issues involving personal emotions and design, they tend to hesitate.

He really didn't expect that the other party would make up their mind so early without communicating with them at all.

Looking at the other person, the middle-aged father felt a strange mix of emotions—a sense of relief that his daughter had grown up, or a sense of frustration that she had become independent.

He suddenly really wanted Kurokawa and Mina to come back, so he could have a real one-on-one fight with them.

Whether they can win or not is another matter, but they have to fight eventually.

Even if he gets beaten up, it's fine; just consider it a loss.

Anna Hanami: "I'm full."

Feeling the increasingly strange atmosphere under her parents' watchful eyes, Banami ran straight back to her room and quickly closed the door.

Soon only Banami's parents remained in the living room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, after returning to her room, Banami quickly turned around and pressed her ear against the door to listen to the conversation between her parents.

Once he felt it was about time, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Some things should always be said. It's better to say them sooner rather than later, rather than accidentally revealing them at a crucial moment and causing consequences.

Beep beep beep~ Beep beep beep~

A Line message popped up on my phone—an invitation from friends to have dinner tomorrow.

Banami responded cheerfully and arranged a meeting place with everyone.

The number of people I invited was not as many as I had imagined, only two or three... who were probably Hanami's childhood friends?

Relationships are really interesting things; once you lose contact for a while, they naturally and gradually disappear.

Banami has been in the other world for more than a year.

For adults, this time is just another year of hardship.

But for teenagers, this is a period in which significant changes can occur, and even a complete restructuring of their social networks.

In short, when Banami returned, the relationships she had hoped for had changed beyond recognition, leaving her with a strange, surreal feeling.

It was probably in another world that he was greatly influenced by Kaguya Houraisan and Kazuya Kurokawa.

At that moment, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but recall Kaguya Houraisan's description of an eternal relationship.

At least that kind of relationship won't disappear over time.

"I had a lot of things planned before I came back, but now I have no idea what to do."

He muttered this to himself.

The girl went to her computer desk in her room.

It can only be said that humans are creatures that are prone to novelty-seeking. When in another world, they always want to do things that happen in the real world.

But after coming to the real world, I find myself constantly thinking about the other world.

Originally, after returning to the real world, she planned to rest for a week and not think about anything.

In just two or three days, I felt completely lost and had no idea what to do.

Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep, I find myself involuntarily thinking about other worlds.

The symptoms are probably similar to hers when she first transmigrated to the other world.

In the past, I was thinking about real things in another world; now, I'm thinking about other world things in reality.

When she came to her senses, she would even involuntarily vent some complaints about Kurokawa Kazuya.

So, the other party really didn't have any backup plan for me to travel back to the modern era?

What if she really does what her parents think, becoming a "bad girl" and abandoning the other person in another world?

As she thought about it, the girl even became a little angry.

It's probably like how Kurokawa Kazuya would want Houraisan Kaguya and show some jealousy towards him.

At this moment, Banami also thought that Kurokawa and Miya should have more gravity.

For example, out of distrust of her coming to the modern world, they secretly installed certain methods on her, forcing her to rely on the other party's methods.

There was absolutely nothing...

Doesn't this make it seem like she might abandon him, or that he doesn't care about her at all?

Banami knew that Kurokawa Kazuya definitely cared about her.

She's feeling a bit lost right now.

After all, the two of them now are truly worlds apart from those of the past.

After logging into Line on her computer, Anzu Hachimi thought for a moment before clicking on Kaguya Houraisan's profile picture.

[Hanami Anna: I feel a little lost. Kaguya, is there anything you can do for me?]

[Kaguya Houraisan: Oh, then do you need me to tell Kurokawa about your current state? You're really determined to just take the medicine, aren't you? (laughs)]

[Hanami Anna: No!!]

[Hanami Anna: Hitting her hard.jpg]

[Hana Mi Anna: Doesn't this make it seem like I took the drug for Kurokawa's sake? This is an immortality elixir, you know! In the other world, I wouldn't dare take it because I might not be able to travel back in time, but in reality, of course I have to take it.]

Crackling~Crackling~

The girl quickly typed out the questions.

[Kaguya Houraisan: The legendary tsundere? Too bad Kurokawa can't see her now.]

[Hanami Anna: So, Kaguya, how far have things progressed between you and Kurokawa?]

[Kaguya Houraisan: We've already been completely honest with each other.]

[Kaguya Houraisan: Nodding.jpg]

[Kaguya Houraisan: It's a pity you can't fully participate in this kind of thing anytime soon, Hanami. Oh, by the way, I'm currently playing a lewd game. Hanami, would you like to join in and try? You can look at the game content and imagine it.]

The princess in the moon then extended an invitation to her to play her own game.

Meanwhile, Anzu Hachimi stared at the characters on the screen, speechless.

She now strongly suspects that Kaguya is making fun of her current situation.

Although Hanami Anna has a clone in the other world, the negative effects of that clone have not improved.

Simply put, when she gets excited, her clone explodes.

Recently, due to returning to his original world and having not seen Kurokawa and Mi for some time, he has been in contact with them.

When Banami met Kurokawa Kazuya, she felt an extra bit excited and thrilled.

In short, due to excessive emotional fluctuations, one's clone might accidentally explode upon seeing it.

In this situation, close contact is simply impossible.

Beep beep beep~

The message box showed another file transfer notification.

After downloading and opening the file, Hanami Anna discovered that the other party had sent her a doujinshi, specifically a harem doujinshi.

[Hanami Anna: ...]

Chapter 132: Narrow the Enemy in the Bud

Time never stops because of anyone's hesitation.

As the city of technology strengthens Kurokawa and Mi's power, it naturally rises rapidly in the process.

But the impact of such rapid progress is never just positive.

In the real world, there is never a time when you are doing very well, or when you have an opportunity to develop.

I will let you grow and thrive.

The most basic judgment of a normal power is to either eliminate or annex any entity that may threaten its existence in its nascent stage.

Originally, Heian-kyo, as the largest human settlement in the surrounding area, did not not want to suppress Kurokawa and Miyako, but rather the latter's rise was too rapid.

It was so fast that it was impossible to tell whether the other party actually possessed these powers or had been toying with them all along.

That boundless faith of unknown origin, and the impregnable fortress built with a large number of magical artifacts, is simply not a development path that a normal cultivator could take.

On the other hand, with Kurokawa Kazuya's own infiltration of Heian-kyo, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden has basically lost the possibility of attacking him.

From then on, the higher-ups in Heian-kyo were powerless against Kurokawa Kazuya.

Since there's no other way, the only option is to integrate into it and accelerate development.

Now, with the expansion of the town and the entanglement of various interest chains, it's hard to say whether the cultivators in Heian-kyo are truly from Heian-kyo or from the technological city where Kurokawa and Miya reside.

but--

Heian-kyo is easy to conquer, but that doesn't mean the Moon Capital can be conquered either.

This is not to say that the people of the Moon Capital are harder to bribe than the people of Heian-kyo.

Instead, no one just stands by and watches as others surpass them at an astonishing pace.

It's impossible for the other party to give you any more benefits.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The formation of hostile relations is not solely due to conflicts of interest.

It could also be because you might be stronger than me, and to avoid an unnecessary future, I want to nip you in the bud.

Given Kurokawa Kazuya's current rate of progress, it might not be long before he has the power to completely overwhelm the Lunar Capital.

When you are completely dominated by your opponent, you naturally lose all initiative.

None of the gods in the Moon Capital would willingly relinquish their own initiative.

They could accept the benefits offered by Kurokawa Kazuya, but when Kurokawa Kazuya showed signs of potentially posing a threat to them—

"Elimination is something that must be done."

Under the cold moonlight, a chilling voice echoed through the council hall.

The gods, who had once been at leisure, seemed to have finally discovered a blind spot that they had been ignoring.

Violence is the fundamental rule of everything.

Taking everything by force is also the simplest way to acquire things.

Whether to beat Kurokawa and Miya now, or to be beaten by them later, is a question that doesn't even require a choice.

As a gathering place of gods that once ravaged an entire age of gods.

If the Lunar Capital is willing to pay a high price, it has the ability to destroy everything that Kurokawa and Miya possess.

"But if we choose to eliminate the enemy, the power we expend could very likely prevent us from surviving the final moment."

A deity objected at this moment.

The fundamental purpose of establishing the Lunar Capital was to allow the gods to escape the influence of world changes.

In other words, while the world is gradually losing its supernatural powers, the divine power is preserved, allowing them to live into the eternal future.

This plan is currently underway.

Ninety-nine percent of the gods in the Moon Capital are working towards this plan.
