However, as a superior race, this task was naturally done by a servant, a spirited woman with short, silver hair.
With sideburns on both sides and two small braids, wearing a maid outfit with blue and white as the main colors, this is Izayoi Sakuya.
Remilia's maid, a human, but possesses the ability to manipulate time and is also skilled in throwing knives.
At this moment, she stood behind Remilia, her eyes closed and silent, trying to minimize her presence and not steal the limelight from her petite mistress in front of her.
Behind Remilia was a woman with long, flowing, fiery red hair, and two braids at her temples.
She was wearing two sets of clothing, mainly Chinese-style clothes and a traditional Chinese jacket, and a dark green hat decorated with five-pointed stars.
She was dressed in a style very similar to that of the Yan Kingdom, but she was actually a monster from the Yan Kingdom, Hong Meiling, who was also Remilia's subordinate.
She guards the gate of her residence, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is usually quite gentle and has the demeanor of a kind older sister next door.
Then there's a girl with blonde hair, just like Marisa Kirisame, except she has shoulder-length short hair.
She has a doll-like, delicate face, wears a red headband, and is dressed in a short-sleeved outfit that resembles a blue dress.
She wore a white shawl, brown boots, and carried a thick book with foreign writing in it, giving off the vibe of a literary young woman.
Alice Margot Lloyd, like Marisa Kirisame, is a magician, and also possesses the skill of manipulating puppets using threads.
Hmm, if she played Yu-Gi-Oh!, she would probably be very good at using Shaddoll.
Finally, there's the short-haired girl with a white bob who's following Saigyouji Yuyuko, with a black headband.
She wore a white shirt and a green vest on top, and a skirt on the bottom, with something floating around her that looked like an elongated rice cake.
Two katana were hanging on his back, one long and one short, indicating that he was a first-rate swordsman.
Youmu Konpaku, a half-human, half-spirit, is Yuyuko Saigyouji's gardener, responsible for maintaining her residence and garden, as well as taking care of her daily life.
He did know all these girls, but he only knew them from books and anime, and the fact that the other side knew he knew them meant—
The news about Wenwen was really widespread, and Yang Xiying now wanted to pluck all the feathers from the editors of that newspaper.
After all, all the girls around him were focused on him! Although there was no hostility involved, he still felt immense pressure...
"Because I have various references, I do know a lot about you, and I have also revealed some of my thoughts before."
—At times like this, his eloquence is the only way to solve the problem.
"If this has caused you any trouble, I apologize, and I will also catch the crow that is spreading these things and let you deal with it."
"Heh, I don't really care about that kind of thing, but... does what you said before about swearing allegiance to me really count?"
Remilia responded casually, then suddenly changed the subject, her scarlet pupils staring intently at Yang Xiying.
——!
The scene fell into extreme silence, because everyone present knew about Yang Xiying's speech at the Hakurei Shrine.
—And of these, the words of swearing allegiance to Remilia are the easiest to take seriously.
"If Miss Remilia needs any help, I would be happy to assist her."
Yang Xiying responded directly, saying that he could already feel the sharp gaze of a silver-haired maid behind Remilia.
"I have a lot of miscellaneous things to take care of right now and I can't start work yet, so could you please give me a little more time?"
"Oh?" Remilia raised an eyebrow. She had thought that Yang Xiying's words were just empty platitudes to get out of trouble.
But now the other side is actually responding to me seriously, even though they have already demonstrated such strong combat power and defeated the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.
"What kind of chores are you going to take care of?"
"Collect all the Heavenly Books," was Yang Xiying's only answer if someone asked him what his current goal was.
PS: Second update! My new book is now available, please add it to your favorites and give it a recommendation vote.
NO.33 Purple, please choose a new Hakurei Shrine Maiden!
"Search...collect all the heavenly books?"
Hearing Yang Xiying say this, the girls around her were stunned for a moment, and Kirisame Marisa couldn't help but speak up.
"Do you mean those books placed at the feet of the God of War?" When they heard about the Heavenly Book, all they could think of was the Heavenly Book mutation, those books that suddenly appeared.
"Oh?" Remilia couldn't help but speak up at this moment, "So, Lady Yang Xiying admits that the Heavenly Book is related to you?"
The Heavenly Book is known to everyone in Gensokyo, but its use is subject to certain restrictions, so the idea of collecting all the Heavenly Books is somewhat arrogant.
But Remilia could think of a possibility.
"Huh? Remy, what do you mean by that? Isn't the Heavenly Book supposed to belong to the God of War? Why would it be related to this young man?"
Hearing Remilia say that, Kirisame Marisa was a little confused, because she thought it was quite normal to collect all the Heavenly Books.
But what did Remilia mean by suddenly saying that? Even the gatekeeper behind you doesn't understand what she's saying.
"Could it be that you are the reincarnation of the God of War?! You're only five years old?!" Marisa Kirisame suddenly thought of a possibility.
"GEAR is not the reincarnation of a martial god, but someone who looks like me at the age of five. By the way, hasn't Miss Yakumo told you about my situation recently?"
Upon hearing Marisa Kirisame's words, Yang Xiying couldn't hold back her emotions, and a new question arose in her mind.
—Because Yakumo Yukari consulted Remilia to resolve the Heavenly Book incident.
"No, I haven't told anyone the truth about Brother Yang."
As soon as Yang Xiying finished speaking, Yakumo Yukari opened a gap and poked half of her body out to join the group of beautiful girls.
“Because I feel it’s not the right time yet,” she explained with a smile, leaving Yang Xiying somewhat at a loss for words.
"—So, did I say something I shouldn't have?"
Yang Xiying felt she could figure out why Yakumo Yukari wasn't telling, because doing so would reveal the truth about Lord Martial God.
"It's not that serious, because I asked Zi about Mr. Yang Xiying before, and I could guess something back then."
At this moment, Saigyouji Yuyuko spoke up, and Hakurei Reimu, as if remembering something, chimed in.
"Was it when I tried to find Yang Xiying last time but was stopped by Yakumo Yukari?" Because she was stopped, she could vaguely recall something.
"Yes, after all, Zi mentioned that Mr. Yang Xiying is working hard to cultivate. The so-called cultivation should refer to cultivating the Heavenly Book."
Saigyouji Yuyuko responded, and then Remilia picked up where she left off with a meaningful expression.
"Moreover, there were rumors recently that 'an outsider who briefly comprehended the Heavenly Book appeared in the Human Village,' and that 'that outsider was someone who dared to woo a large number of women in Gensokyo.'"
Remilia spoke up at this moment, having already pieced together some clues, which was why she had responded to Yang Xiying in that way when the other side mentioned the Heavenly Book.
"So we do think you have some connection to the Heavenly Book, but Yukari Yakumo said that you would explain it to us personally when the time comes."
"That's how it is now, so could you tell us more about it?" As she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Xiying again.
"……I see."
Looking at Yakumo Yukari who was nodding, Yang Xiying took a deep breath. His visit to the Hakurei Shrine was related to this, but he had come specifically to find Reimu.
But he doesn't mind talking about it with the people around him.
"But before I explain, I'd like to ask what your opinions are on Lord Martial God?" Yang Xiying posed a question to everyone.
"A God of War is a God of War, the one who defeated the Heavenly Book Demon King and inherited his power... Uh, why are you all looking at me like that?"
Noticing Yang Xiying looking at her, Kirisame Marisa spoke without thinking, but soon realized that the gazes of those around her suddenly became strange.
“Because that’s not what Mr. Yang Xiying wants to ask,” Alice said at this moment, glancing indifferently at Kirisame Marisa.
"Speaking of which, you still haven't realized it? No wonder you're confused by Miss Remilia's words."
“…But I’m not the only one who’s confused,” Marisa Kirisame couldn’t help but retort, as if the person opposite her was looking at her as if she were an idiot.
—In that case, she'll have to use other people as examples!
"Wait, why does even Meiling seem to have figured it all out now?!"
She turned her gaze to Hong Meiling, who had also been confused before, but the confusion on her face was no longer there.
"Uh, because after thinking about it carefully, I did come up with something," Hong Meiling replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"What is it anyway? It's like I'm the only idiot. Fine, idiot it is. What is it you want to ask, buddy?"
Marisa Kirisame chooses to see the answer.
"...Miss Kirisame, since you know that Lord Martial God is the one who defeated the Heavenly Book Demon King and inherited his power, then you should also understand—"
"The existence of the God of War has also brought stability to Gensokyo, right?" Yang Xiying said slowly, looking at the bewildered Kirisame Marisa.
“Uh, that’s true,” Marisa Kirisame couldn’t deny, while Yang Xiying continued, “but even the administrators of Gensokyo could do that.”
"Huh?" Marisa Kirisame suddenly froze, turning her gaze to Reimu Hakurei, who simply smiled wickedly and remained silent.
"The Book of Heaven Incident began with the sudden appearance of various books that plunged Gensokyo into chaos, because books that could be used to master technology were not regulated."
Yang Xiying continued speaking.
"What do you think the administrators of Gensokyo will do at this time?"
"So...so you're saying that Lord Martial God is just a cover set up by the Gensokyo administrators to stabilize the chaos caused by the Heavenly Book?"
Suddenly, Marisa Kirisame realized something, and as she spoke, she looked around at the people around her with an incredulous expression.
"Everyone already realized this?!"
"..." Hong Meiling remained silent, because she mainly relied on the reminders from her colleagues and boss to figure out what to do.
—The same applies to Youmu Konpaku.
“I just think there’s a possibility,” Alice replied calmly. “The only way to get the answer is to find out from those who have done it.”
"However, there is no need to confirm this, because the existence of 'Lord Martial God' has indeed brought benefits to this land."
"Moreover, if Mr. Yang Xiying is really related to these books, then even if Lord Martial God is a decoy, he must be real now."
"After all, rumors have already spread that outsiders have comprehended the Heavenly Book in a short period of time."
“So Marisa, there’s no point in you revealing the truth about the God of War now,” Reimu Hakurei said with a teasing smile.
"I would never do something like that!"
Marisa Kirisame retorted directly, saying that this was the method for dealing with the changes in the Heavenly Book, and that if she tried to obstruct it, she would be the one who created the changes.
——will be dismissed.
"But now that we know the inside story about the God of War, shouldn't that young man explain his relationship with those heavenly books?"
She then brought the topic back to the present.
“Okay,” Yang Xiying explained her situation in this and that way, and then everyone except Yakumo Yukari showed a blank expression.
"...Brother, you should be able to outlive me, right?" Marisa Kirisame was already sweating profusely.
Because Yang Xiying said that if she didn't collect all the Heavenly Books in her lifetime, she would turn them into bombs and destroy the surrounding areas where the books were scattered!
The Book of Heaven is scattered over a wide area; Gensokyo is just one of the regions. In addition, there are the outside world, the moon, the sun, the universe, and even the multiverse!
If they're scattered all over these places, how long will it take to find them all? And this guy even left some of the books under the Martial God statue!
Yakumo Yukari, Saigyouji Yuyuko, and Remilia even approve of this behavior, so the idea of simply throwing the Heavenly Book at Yang Xiying and telling her to get out of Gensokyo is not going to work.
Therefore, all she can do now is ask Yang Xiying to live a little longer.
"What kind of ambition is this? If you lose the book, just find it, right?" Reimu Hakurei was annoyed when she heard Marisa Kirisame say that.
She had fought with Yang Xiying but wasn't flustered, after all, Yakumo Yukari was the first to know about this, and she was the sage of Gensokyo.
—If she's not worried, why should I be?!
"I...I was just joking. You said you wanted to collect the Heavenly Book, right? How about I help you?"
"That way, even if you encounter a tough enemy, I can help you fight or escape, and this activity feels like saving the world."
After replying, Kirisame Marisa looked at Yang Xiying with an expectant expression, even though the situation on the other side was indeed dangerous.
