Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

"We've been transported to another world, haven't we?"

"This is the ability I awakened after arriving in another world."

"That ability is really quite boring."

The blue-haired girl muttered to herself, but the force with which she gripped the phone was immense.

I resisted the urge to make the call in public.

The girl tugged at Kurokawa Kazumi's sleeve and quickened her pace, heading towards Kurokawa Kazumi's small house in the countryside outside the city.

They walked faster and faster, until they were almost running.

In the afternoon, the elderly and children in the village saw the important figure who had recently come to the village rush into the house with a young girl.

The elderly couldn't help but shake their heads at this.

Many young couples began to warn the village children that if they dared to approach Kurokawa and Miya's house, they would break their legs.

Villagers living in this era naturally possess their own wisdom for survival.

At this moment, Anzu Hachimi, who had just entered the room, clearly had no time to pay attention to such matters.

She took out her phone and turned it on. When she saw the signal indicator "X" in the upper right corner of the screen, her heart sank.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

The blue-haired girl handed the phone to Kurokawa Kazuya.

As soon as the other person took the phone, the phone, which had previously had no signal, began to quickly show bars of signal.

Kazuya Kurokawa calls his ability "Infinite Signal".

Neither her name nor her abilities, as Anna Hanami said, have any of the pretentious airs of superpowers.

but--

They would definitely want this ability, even if it meant trading their current abilities for it.

The light from the phone screen illuminated my cheeks.

The blue-haired girl began entering a phone number.

At this moment, all sorts of thoughts kept popping into Anna's mind.

According to Kurokawa Kazuya, about three days had passed in the real world after they traveled through time.

What must her parents have been feeling after she went missing?

Beep beep~beep beep~

A familiar, reassuring voice echoed in my ears for a few seconds.

"Hello~"

Hanami Anna heard her father's voice.

"What's up, Xingcai? Just so you know, your mom and I are super busy right now. We're negotiating an important client for the factory, and we'll definitely get a big bonus if we succeed."

The man's voice carried its usual carefree tone.

The voice was full of boastful emotion, which perfectly matched the eccentric old man image that Banami usually portrayed in their conversations.

The family of Hanami Anna is quite common in this day and age, with both the wife and husband working.

The two worked at the same company.

When I'm busy, I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe. I travel for long periods of time on business trips and when I get home, I fall asleep as soon as I get home.

In his spare time, he would slack off at the company all day, and then go home to invite his neighbors and daughter to have a barbecue feast in the yard that lasted from morning till night.

It was obvious that the couple had been quite busy during the week that Anna Hanami was missing.

"Kurokawa, I don't know why I feel so complicated right now."

After taking the phone away from her ear, the blue-haired girl turned to Kurokawa Kazuya and began to complain.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "That's pretty normal. We time-traveled during summer vacation. You, Hanami, usually go out and meet up with your classmates. It's not a problem if we don't contact each other for three or four days."

Yanai sees Ancai: "..."

There was no way to refute it for a moment.

She was all prepared for a sad farewell to her parents, but now she's being presented with this scene?

Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

It probably stems from the emotional buildup I experienced while living in another world during that time.

Anzu Hachimi felt that she should be more tolerant of her eccentric father.

Anna Hanami: "I've been transported to another world."

The girl held the microphone to her ear again and spoke to the person opposite her.

Hana greeted her father: "You've traveled to another world to call me, haven't you? Anzu, did you lose a game of truth or dare with someone?"

On the other end of the phone, Banai heard her father make a comment.

Banai said to her father, "Alright, alright, your mother told me that the client is here, so I won't argue with you anymore."

Hanami Anzu: "Who's messing with you? Give the phone to Mom."

The blue-haired girl holding her phone started to get inexplicably annoyed.

Banai saw that old man, Fenhuo, and decided it was better not to talk to him.

The girl struck a pose of exasperation and began stomping her feet.

Meanwhile, Kurokawa Kazuya's gaze toward him grew increasingly strange.

This appearance is quite different from how Anna Hanami usually acts in Kurokawa and Miya, and it goes against the original impression of her as a high-class beauty.

To be honest, from the moment he met Anna Hanami, Kazuya Kurokawa noticed that some of her behaviors were different from what he had in mind.

In Kurokawa Kazuya's memory, the other person was actually a somewhat aloof and popular pretty girl.

However, it's normal for the real person to differ from the impression they have of someone.

After all, this is a social environment in Japan where reading between the lines is extremely important. It's perfectly normal for Japanese girls to have two faces – one in public and another in private.

At this moment, Kurokawa Kazuya noticed that the girl's actions were becoming increasingly exaggerated, so he wisely took two steps back and closed the door to give Hanami Anna time to talk to her parents.

Click——

As Kurokawa Kazuya closed the door, he clearly felt a figure behind him.

The other party did not try to hide their presence when they appeared.

"Would Miss Houraisan like to go inside and take a look?"

Kurokawa Kazuya turned to look at the girl who had suddenly appeared behind him, Houraisan Kaguya.

Long black hair that reached past her waist, a light pink top, and a long skirt that billowed out as she walked.

As my gaze swept across the girl's face, no matter how many times I looked at her, I couldn't help but be amazed by her moon-like, radiant beauty.

"It should be me who reminded you where you are, but Kurokawa Kazumi, are you on guard against me?"

Looking at Kurokawa Kazuya in front of her, a smile played on her lips as Houraisan Kaguya asked with great interest.

Chapter Seven: The Princess's Envisioned Script

Kaguya of Mount Hourai, the princess of the moon, forever and fleetingly a sinner.

However, all of these titles are of little practical significance to Kaguya of Houraisan, who is currently on Earth.

Now, the princess, who will be returning to the moon in three years, is simply looking for something to do to pass the time.

Since her beauty was known throughout the world, it attracted royalty and nobility.

Then let's have a match, just like you guys want.

Watching the people on the ground tear each other apart like dogs because of their words and actions, eager to show themselves off, is in itself a kind of fun.

Don't get me wrong, the girl doesn't despise desire.

In her view, being able to act on one's desires was always a wonderful thing.

Kaguya Houraisan had no intention of breaking her promise.

If someone could truly overcome the impossible and obtain what they desire, then the princess of the moon would not hesitate to condescend to become the wife of an earthly being.

Why not experience childbirth and reproduction, partnerships and intimacy, even just once?

Compared to the pure, selfless, and eternal people of the moon, the primal desires of the defiled earth are far more captivating.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that someone is capable of doing it.

Although Kaguya Houraisan was willing, she never had the thought of belittling her own value.

"If they want to have me, don't they have to make such efforts? Using power to force me into submission is their own choice."

With her long black hair swaying with her movements, the princess in the moon gave this answer.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "That's certainly true."

Kazuya Kurokawa, who comes from the modern era, naturally doesn't have any particular fondness for the nobles of the feudal era.

He wouldn't think, like people of this era, that these people are born to be superior and that being looked up to by them is a blessing.

The fact that five nobles personally came to propose marriage essentially eliminated any possibility of Kaguya Houraisan choosing anyone else.

If they've gone to such extremes, they can't blame others for doing the same.

Kaguya Houraisan: "I don't need your approval. Alright, it's your turn to answer now."

The girl tilted her head, maintaining a calm expression as she quietly looked at Kurokawa Kazuya in front of her.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "It's normal for me to be wary, after all, you can easily manipulate me now, and I have absolutely no ability to resist."

Just as a person will still feel fear even when facing a tiger through a fence, it is perfectly normal to instinctively be on guard when facing someone who can manipulate you at will.

Kaguya Houraisan: "A Pale Excuse".

The princess in the moon made her comments so casually.

In Kaguya Houraisan's view, taking in Kurokawa Kazuya was simply a casual and capricious act.

It's quite normal for a capricious princess to do capricious things on a whim.

Even Kaguya Houraisan never imagined that she would come to see him so many times after that.

The princess from the moon is over a thousand years old, but the long passage of time does not seem to have made her more knowledgeable than Kurokawa Kazuya.

At least her understanding of what's interesting is far inferior to the other person's.

Life on the moon is fixed; life on the moon is unchanging.

The eternal Moon People are the providers of divine faith, and they will live peacefully and unchangingly under the protection of the gods forever.

Living longer does not necessarily mean experiencing more, nor does it necessarily mean developing better.

Time repeats itself endlessly, and so does our daily routine.

The Moon People are eternally happy inhabitants. They can be reborn after death, and they neither age nor die, nor increase nor decrease in number.

Although technologically far superior to Earth today, the Lunar Capital has never produced any cultural works.

Despite the continuous advancements in technology in the Lunar Capital, their lives remain unchanged.

The vehicle changed from an oxcart to a flying oxcart.

The recording tool changed from ordinary paper to paper that could record an unlimited number of records.

The way of life for everyone remains the same as it was a thousand years ago, and everything for everyone is done solely according to the rules set forth by the sages.

Kaguya Houraisan couldn't even remember when the last time the entire month had changed.

From this perspective, Kurokawa Kazuya is quite interesting.

They were neither as arrogant as the Moon People, who denigrated all Earthlings as filthy, nor as ignorant and filthy as the Earthlings.

The only thing that seems unbelievable is—

Kaguya Houraisan: "I actually lost in terms of charm?"
