Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

She crossed her arms over her chest: "You say I'm narcissistic? You're the one who's more narcissistic, Kurokawa, and you even called me by my name so familiarly."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I just suddenly felt that there's no need to use honorifics when facing you, Princess. You might be happier if we just get closer. So, what's your answer to my question, Princess Kaguya?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, I didn't expect you, Kurokawa, to guess my thoughts so quickly. It's quite rare. I was indeed a little afraid that you would run away."

She regained her elegant demeanor and nodded seriously in response.

Kurokawa Kazuya: "Heh~ I knew it. Even if you, Princess, don't admit it, it's still... um?"

Following Kaguya Houraisan's words, Kazuya Kurokawa suddenly realized something was amiss.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "You admit it?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Is there anything I can't admit? The internet on my phone is so interesting, and there are fun games to play. Not only that, but we also meet rare earthlings who are neither timid nor condescending when they talk to me. With such interesting things all together, isn't it normal for me to be reluctant to see you leave?"

The beautiful princess, in response to Kurokawa Kazuya's surprise, asked him a question in return.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Then you just said I'm narcissistic."

Kaguya Houraisan: "Don't you think it's narcissistic of me to want you to stay? Although I do want you all to stay."

The princess slightly raised her snow-white neck and spoke what she considered to be impeccable logic.

Kurokawa Kazuya felt that it was narcissistic of her to want to keep someone as beautiful as her.

This doesn't conflict with her desire to keep the other person.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He felt that he was now gradually beginning to understand the way this guy was thinking.

This is a super narcissist who was spoiled by his beautiful appearance.

Kaguya Houraisan: "So, Kurokawa, what are your thoughts? Do you have any plans to start a family in this world?"

Faced with the silence of Kurokawa Kazuya, the princess, oblivious to her surroundings, pressed further with a question.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Can this be postponed?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Is that so? Is it because my taste has become so spoiled?"

After speaking, she shook her head: "If you've taken a liking to me, you still have a long way to go. I can give you special permission to come and talk to me from time to time to improve our relationship. When I have some feelings for you, I might even let you hold my hand."

Her Highness spoke in a tone that sounded like a bestowal of a reward.

As she spoke, she stretched out her fair arm and waved it at Kurokawa Kazuya.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Where did you come from, galgame heroine? It seems Your Highness plays quite a few games on your phone these days."

Kaguya Houraisan: "It's alright. So far, your 'Tsukihime' is still the best experience for me."

She didn't hold back in expressing her praise.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Thank you for the compliment."

He responded listlessly.

After saying that, he felt that if things continued like this, it might never end, so he simply summarized the conversation between the two parties.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "So we haven't reached our destination yet? I remember Kaguya, your Eternity and Moment can compress a long journey into an instant, right?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, if we wanted to get there, we could have arrived much earlier. I was just in the middle of a great time, wasn't I?"

The girl raised her smooth arm and snapped her fingers lightly.

For Kaguya Houraisan, who has almost completely mastered the power of eternity and fleeting moments, transforming a journey that would take hours into a mere instant is not a difficult task.

The surrounding scenery where Kurokawa Kazuya was located changed in the blink of an eye, as if a frame had been frozen in time.

He soon found himself standing before a vast mansion.

——[Sakyōji Family]

The nameplate on the mansion's door indicates the family's identity.

Kaguya Houraisan: "The prestigious Saigyouji family, compared to other Onmyoji families with thriving populations, has had a small number of members in each generation due to its unique heritage. In the current generation, due to an accident, almost the entire family was wiped out, leaving only a naive young lady named Saigyouji Yuyuko."

After recounting the information, the princess on the moon turned to Kurokawa Kazuya with an expression as if she were watching a show.

Kaguya Houraisan: "This is a business partner I specially chose for you. This Miss Yuyuko is not only a wealthy woman but also a rare beauty. As long as you win her over, Kurokawa, you can gain both wealth and beauty."

She nodded at this point: "Of course, if you are not satisfied with this Miss Yuyuko, I have quite a few alternatives that will surely make you, Kurokawa, completely infatuated."

Princess Yueshang flicked a stack of papers that she had somehow acquired and gestured to Kurokawa Kazuya.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Princess Kaguya, your persona is starting to crumble."

Kaguya Houraisan: "That's the character you think she is."

The princess waved her hand dismissively.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Ready to go in? I'll help you out from here."

She seemed quite interested.

Kurokawa Kazuya suspected that the other party was just having fun.

Maybe it's because I've been playing too many visual novels lately and want to try it out in real life?

However, he had no intention of refusing at this point.

It wasn't that they were actually going along with Kaguya Houraisan's idea of ​​a marriage alliance.

Rather, the Saigyouji family, a small Onmyoji clan mentioned by the other party, was indeed a suitable partner for him, an outsider.

Compared to other Onmyoji families that are deeply entrenched and have various internal constraints, this one is undoubtedly the best choice.

If that young lady is indeed as easily fooled as Kaguya Houraisan said... no, I mean, an innocent and kind-hearted being, then choosing her as a partner is basically a no-brainer.

With that thought in mind, ignoring Kaguya's attempts to egg him on, Kurokawa Kazuya stepped forward and knocked on the large door of the Saigyouji family's house.

【2-in-1】

Chapter Twenty-Six: Kaguya: Call Me Big Sister

In the extraordinary world, the families that wield extraordinary power are themselves armies and forces.

In Heian-kyo, a city teeming with Onmyoji families, the nominal Emperor rules over the various families under his command.

In reality, each family has its own military power and territory, and they inevitably engage in frequent wars with each other.

The residence of the Onmyoji family is less a residence and more a last fortress and camp during wartime, containing various secret defensive fortifications belonging to the family.

However, all of this has nothing to do with the Saigyouji family now.

Most of the facilities that once surrounded the Saigyouji residence have now been forced to close.

Even the activation of defensive facilities in a world where individuals possess extraordinary abilities requires specific members, and the Saigyouji family...

This is a large family with profound knowledge of death, souls, and illusions.

Now, only the frail and sickly young lady, Saigyouji Yuyuko, who has made no progress in cultivation, has survived.

If it weren't for the stubborn and loyal protection of the Saigyouji branch family head, Youki, who was fiercely devoted to protecting his young mistress, things would probably have already gone in the worst possible direction.

Even so, everything is gradually heading in a worse direction.

When they can't resort to hard tactics, they naturally start using soft tactics.

Recently, the Saigyouji family has been receiving a steady stream of suitors.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Hello."

When the door was opened, Kurokawa Kazuya saw a handsome old man with white hair and beard and a vigorous face.

The person who came should be the one from the information Kaguya provided.

The spirit of Youki, the samurai who now sustains the Saigyouji family.

Soul Demon: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The old man stood in front of the door with a serious expression, seemingly having no intention of inviting Kurokawa Kazuya and Houraisan Kaguya in for a chat.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "We are here to seek cooperation. I wonder if you have heard of any news related to 'Tsukihime'?"

He handed the newly acquired monster artifact, the "strange bamboo," to the other party.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "This is just a small gift, please accept it as a token of my appreciation."

Soul Demon: "..."

Do you give out ritual implements on the first visit?

【Name: Strange Bamboo】

[Description: Bamboo, having just become a demon, is like a newborn infant, possessing only instincts and lacking wisdom.]

[Skill: The ability to observe weaknesses]

[Description: Exerting energy to observe the weak points of things]

The moment he touched the object, information about the magical artifact surfaced in Soul Demon's mind.

It is not only a magical artifact, but also one that can be used for both combat and inheritance and development.

Just think how many tricks you can pull off with the ability to spot weaknesses.

This thing could be passed down as a family heirloom to any small family.

The first thing that came to mind when the old man looked at the young man in front of him was the phrase "rich and powerful".

Regardless of the other party's motives.

At least in terms of sincerity, Soul Phantomhive felt it.

Soul Demon: "This is far too valuable for me to make the decision. If you are interested, you can go and meet the young lady. However, the young lady is unwell, so I need to go in and inform her first."

The old man did not accept such a valuable gift; he simply nodded slightly to Kurokawa Kazuya before speaking.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Thank you for your help."

He nodded back to the old man in front of him.

Meanwhile, Kaguya Houraisan watched this scene with great interest.

She was quite looking forward to what would happen next. Kurokawa Kazumi, who had traveled through time, always managed to do something fun for her, didn't he?

Kazuya Kurokawa: "What are Kaguya's next thoughts on her identity?"

He turned his head and spoke softly to Kaguya Houraisan.

Kazuya Kurokawa originally thought that Kaguya Houraisan would leave while he was communicating with the Saigyouji family.

After all, the other party is currently being proposed to by the five noble families.

It's really inappropriate to go out and meet people so publicly.

However, since the other party hadn't left, Kurokawa Kazuya still wanted to ask for their opinion.

As for why Kaguya Houraisan suddenly did this?

Don't concern yourself with the princess's affairs. She just wanted to show up, so what?

Now that things have come to this, Kurokawa Kazuya has a good understanding of Houraisan Kaguya's personality, and he doesn't even bother to ask her what she's thinking.

Kaguya Houraisan: "How about you, maid? Next, I can call you young master for a try."

The princess on the moon looked eager to try.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "No, I can't accept that."

He raised his hand directly to refuse.

Kaguya Houraisan can play, but he can't.

If any order offends the other party, then you'll be caught in the middle.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Kurokawa, this is no fun."

The princess shook her head seriously, then her eyes lit up again: "How about trying my daughter?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Then I'll be your older sister."
