NO.183 Bringing Yuuka home with Kazami!

Recently, the statue of the God of War has been visited by people. Although this is not unusual in the human world, it is strange that people visit it.

First, there was a foreign man who displayed incredible abilities from the day he arrived.

He borrowed the book, understood it on the same day, and returned it on the same day, without going astray and becoming a demon king of heavenly books.

This process repeated itself for several weeks until a month later when he stopped coming, because he had fully understood everything by the time he came last time!

This seems very abnormal, but this person has indeed not done anything to cause trouble; on the contrary, he has managed to maintain good relationships with the people in the community.

At the same time, he would place the heavenly books he had collected under the statue of the God of War, so that even if this person could obtain the inheritance of the God of War, it would be natural!

So they were all used to this man wandering around under the statue of the God of War, but some others still felt a little uncomfortable doing so.

Like the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei of the Hakurei Shrine, this girl is a genius, she knows quite a bit about the celestial book under the statue of the God of War.

But she didn't plan to finish learning, so she wouldn't linger under the statue for a long time, but recently something has been wrong.

Reimu Hakurei continued to borrow books, even starting to borrow esoteric texts on swordsmanship and knife techniques, as if she was determined to master all of them.

And it wasn't just her; other people, including the maids and young ladies from the Western-style mansion by the lake, would also frequently visit.

A white-haired girl who often comes to the village of humans to buy large quantities of ingredients while carrying a sword, and a blonde beauty who comes here to perform puppet shows at festivals.

There are also petty thieves, both black and white, who are not entirely honest. This one is the one we should be most wary of, but miraculously, he returned the book after borrowing it for a day or two.

The others were the same, and judging from their demeanor, they seemed to have become much stronger. Could it be that they had comprehended the Heavenly Book?!

Just like that outsider?! Why?! Are geniuses starting to sprout up like cabbages in the market?!

People didn't understand, but they were shocked. After all, if they were geniuses, why would they only recently start borrowing books?

Why didn't you read it before?

Is it true that if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old?

People began to have doubts, and during the discussion, they suddenly thought of a rather wild possibility: that they had all had affairs with that outsider!

After all, that outsider was a genius who dared to confess his love to a large number of villagers on his very first day in Gensokyo!

And afterwards, there seemed to be signs of success, after all, he even mastered the dream seal of Reimu Hakurei, and people often saw him going to the Hakurei Shrine.

What is Hakurei Shrine? It is a place where a large number of yokai and other non-human species gather in the spring!

The outsider even specifically chose this day to go, and afterwards he could often be seen buying groceries and chatting with some girls in the village.

So something must have happened between them! And their beloved Captain Mingluo has been borrowing books from under the statue quite often lately.

She's even learning faster than before... This guy also frequently interacts with that outsider and is his neighbor!

So that outsider has already won over Captain Myo-ra, Shrine Maiden Hakurei, and all those girls with extraordinary abilities in Gensokyo?!

The same is true of Kazami Yuuka, who is now appearing under the statue. Recently, she has also been frequently lingering under the statue of the God of War to borrow books.

It was strange, but now that I saw the stranger greeting me as if we knew each other well, I understood.

So this person has also managed to win over the Flower Tyrant? For a moment, many people felt admiration for him.

Yes, there's no envy or jealousy, only admiration. It's fine if the object of admiration is someone like Reimu Hakurei, Izayoi Sakuya, or Alice who frequently appear on screen.

They might be envious and jealous, but anyone who could marry a terrifying youkai like Kazami Yuuka would have to pay her the highest respect!

What a brave soul! And you even dared to have ambiguous relationships with so many girls... We'll definitely throw a feast for you in the future.

"...My reference?"

Upon hearing what Kazami Yuuka said, Yang Xiying fell into deep thought. After getting to know Kazami Yuuka recently, the two had been in frequent contact.

After all, they had both shown things that interested them after their fight, and for Yang Xiying, Kazami Yuuka showed off her beauty.

Short hair is his type, and the woman opposite him can also grow her hair long, changing her temperament to that of a gentle and kind older sister at first glance.

Of course, for Yang Xiying, appearance is only one of the reasons for judging whether a person is good or bad, and one cannot only look at this when getting along with them.

Furthermore, there's her inner self. Yang Xiying's assessment of Kazami Yuuka is that she has no flaws, even though she's perceived as an extremely cruel monster by others.

But it didn't matter to Yang Xiying, who was able to defeat the other side, because at this moment he only saw the Flower Tyrant who would chat and laugh with him.

He's a friend worth making, and he's really good at farming; he grows all the vegetables he uses for cooking himself.

All of this made Yang Xiying want to ask her for advice, and the other party was very generous, as long as she occasionally chatted with her, sparred, and exchanged combat experiences.

Perhaps this is what I've shown that will interest them: my combat power and various novel combat techniques.

"Hmm, in terms of close combat, I don't really have much to teach you, Youxiang," Yang Xiying said after a moment of contemplation.

"Because you're not only good at unarmed combat, but also quite skilled in weapon combat, it's only a matter of time before you strengthen this aspect."

Kazami Yuuka excels in close combat, and this isn't just about fighting bare-handed; after all, her opponent often uses a parasol as a weapon, which she can use as a sword.

She is also adept at using long-handled swords because she farms and can cook.

As for ranged attacks... there aren't many in Gensokyo with its popular spell card rules, so Yuuka Kazami's current stats are just a bit lacking.

—You'll get stronger if you keep training step by step.

"Come ask me again when you encounter anything you don't understand while comprehending the Heavenly Book. But I do have some enhancement suggestions that are more suitable for you."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Kazami Yuuka nodded thoughtfully, then became interested after hearing what Yang Xiying said next.

"Tell me."

“Let’s find a quieter place to discuss this further,” Yang Xiying replied after glancing around.

Now, because of his meeting with Yuuka Kazami, everyone around him stopped and stared in astonishment, which was considered obstructing traffic.

“Okay, let’s go to your house then,” Kazami Yuuka understood Yang Xiying’s idea and directly suggested a meeting place.

"Huh?" Yang Xiying was a little surprised for a moment, while Kazami Yuuka continued, "Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever visited your house before."

"Now's the perfect opportunity, shall we go? Aren't you happy to see us?"

"No, no, that's not true. I'll lead the way," Yang Xiying quickly denied, seeing the somewhat amused expression on Kazami Yuuka's face, and led the way.

PS: First update.

NO.184 Yuxiang, you don't want this either...

"Is this your home? It's quite luxurious."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is the reward I received for mastering all the Heavenly Books. I never expected it to be so luxurious."

Afterwards, Yang Xiying and Kazami Yuuka arrived at Yang Xiying's residence under the watchful eyes of passersby. After looking around from the outside and then going inside, Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but speak.

Although the style of the house is different from mine, it's definitely much more luxurious, but...

“It seems a bit troublesome for one person to live here,” as it is quite troublesome to manage a house when only one person is living here.

“Just consider it training, and it will only get a bit chaotic when we invite friends over,” Yang Xiying understood Kazami Yuuka’s thoughts.

—But this is no problem for Yang Xiying, who is capable of using magic and immortal arts.

"Oh? Friends? The group that often gathers at Hakurei Shrine?" Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something.

“Uh,” Yang Xiying didn’t know how to respond for a moment. He did know the group of people who often gathered at the Hakurei Shrine.

—But he wasn't sure if Yuuka Kazami was referring to that group of people.

"I've heard that after each incident, the Hakurei Shrine priestess invites non-human species to a banquet."

At this moment, Yuuka Kazami spoke up.

“Just a month ago, these kinds of banquets were being held very frequently, and you even joined in, but they stopped abruptly a few weeks ago.”

"I haven't heard from the villagers about a banquet at the Hakurei Shrine for almost a month."

"But now that I hear you often have gatherings with friends at your home, it's easy to think of that, so is it them?"

"Yes, it's them," he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to speak in front of Kazami Yuuka, since she had started joking around.

"You are really lucky to have so many unique girls by your side."

“Well, that’s true, but we’re not that close,” Yang Xiying coughed lightly. “We’re just partners who act together.”

"...Oh? Are you guys up to something big?" It's easy for Kazami Yuuka to think of these things when she's working with her partners.

—But these were things Yang Xiying hadn't discussed with her before.

"Are you sure you want to hear this? Once you do, there's no turning back, okay?" Yang Xiying suddenly made a threatening expression.

He only talked to Yuuka about everyday things and his own martial arts skills; he never mentioned anything about time travel to her.

It's fine to tell the other party now, since I'm going to connect with all the powerful figures in Gensokyo anyway, and this person's favorability has exceeded 60, so I can also enjoy the benefits of teaming up.

—It would be more reassuring to let them join the team and then venture into another world.

"Heh, trying to scare me? I can still think of something, it's related to Lord Martial God and the Heavenly Book, right?"

Kazami Yuuka smiled and then spoke.

“…!” Yang Xiying showed a surprised expression, because it was indeed related to this, and the other party was actually able to guess it.

"Go in. Just like you wanted to ask me for advice on how to get stronger, these things aren't suitable for too many people to know."

At this moment, Kazami Yuuka suddenly took the initiative and invited Yang Xiying to come in, and he did not resist. Now it really was time to have a good talk.

"I am aware that Lord Martial God is actually one of the methods used by the administrators of Gensokyo to handle the Heavenly Book incident."

Afterwards, Yang Xiying understood why the topic was not suitable for too many people to hear, because Kazami Yuuka also knew the truth about Lord Martial God.

"I see. Then may I ask Youxiang how you knew?" Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously, and then asked.

"Perhaps this is the advantage of being strong. I was also recognized as strong by the management of Gensokyo, and they knew about this."

Kazami Yuuka smiled slightly.

"That makes things much easier to explain. I want to collect the Heavenly Book, and those girls are my helpers."

"—They will follow me to various places to search."

"Various places? What specific places do you mean? The major powers of Gensokyo? Outside of Gensokyo? Or other worlds?"

Kazami Yuuka listened with a smile, her eyes showing curiosity, while Yang Xiying remained silent for a while before speaking.

"We'll go wherever there's a celestial book, even if it's in another world," the other side also realized this.

“That’s quite interesting,” Kazami Yuuka nodded thoughtfully, and Yang Xiying spoke up at the same time.

"It's interesting, but Yuuka, if you've heard all this, it won't be so easy for you to get away."

"Oh? So, Yang Xiying, what are you planning to do with me next?" Looking at the calm expression on the other side, Kazami Yuuka's face was playful.

"Please join us in the search for the Heavenly Book!" Yang Xiying immediately knelt down in reverence. Kazami Yuuka is also a powerful ally!

"Suddenly, she doesn't seem threatening anymore," Kazami Yuuka said, pouting as she looked at Yang Xiying's subservient demeanor.

“Because I am of pure and kind nature, I would never do such a thing,” Yang Xiying replied without batting an eye.

"—So I delegate all of these tasks to others."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about my dark nature, Brother Yang."

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the air, and Yukari Yakumo poked half of her body out from it, while Yuuka Kazami calmly spoke.

"Hmph, you still prefer to pop up from all over the place anytime, anywhere, Yukari Yakumo," but her tone also carried a hint of disdain.

After all, the other side's abilities could expose many people's privacy; this woman could hear her conversation with Yang Xiying just now.

"I can't say I'm being casual. Right now, Brother Yang's house is our base for joint operations. Visiting him requires reporting and observation."

Yukari Yakumo responded calmly.

"And Yuuka, you should have foreseen this, so would you like to join us? We've always been short-handed."

"...Since you've put it that way, Yukari Yakumo, I'm curious what will happen if I refuse?" Yuuka Kazami replied directly.

"You'll have to ask Brother Yang about that," Yakumo Yukari replied directly, leaving the topic to Yang Xiying.

"After all, you get along better with him now, so I can't do anything to you in front of him."

“Then you seem to take good care of Yang Xiying,” Kazami Yuuka could now confirm that Yakumo Yukari and Yang Xiying had a close relationship.
