“Well, you should ask them directly,” Marisa Kirisame said, feeling it was hard to say. “After all, we see that the two of them get along quite naturally.”
"—There were basically no overly intimate gestures like those between lovers."
“Is that so…” Remilia looked thoughtful, while Reimu Hakurei suddenly spoke up as if she had just thought of something.
"...Remi, you're asking this because you've sensed something, haven't you? Using your power to manipulate fate?"
"No," Remilia replied directly, which made everyone somewhat suspicious. Marisa Kirisame even asked, "Really?"
“I also see how your fate, Reimu Hakurei's fate, and everyone else's fate are intertwined with Yang Xiying’s.”
"—So you two have a relationship with him?"
Remilia pouted, which left Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame speechless, and they quickly shook their heads.
—How could they possibly have any special relationship with him? They're just partners.
"That's right. It's good that Sakuya has grown on this trip, but how did you guys manage to do that?"
PS: First update.
The old man at No. 57 recounted stories of the past...
Remilia was very curious; the aura opposite her had indeed become much stronger, which made her want to know about the other world.
"Although Reimu said you were just curious and wanted to explore another world, you should at least let me know what it's like there before you actually go."
"...Brother Yang, there are people here who want to hear about your glorious deeds in the other world. Do you need me to explain?"
Remilia's words prompted Yakumo Yukari to open a gap in the kitchen and ask Yang Xiying, who was busy working with the three cooks.
"What do you mean by my glorious deeds? It's as if I did something bad. Besides, we were in cahoots, so if I did it, I'd be an accomplice."
"So feel free to ask me anything, I didn't pay you any hush money," Yang Xiying replied casually.
"Alright, then let everyone admire Brother Yang's heroic figure as he fights for justice in another world—" "Stop! Sis, I'll give you the hush money later. You just need to give a brief summary."
Seeing Yakumo Yukari pull open the gap that revealed her fighting in another world, Yang Xiying immediately told the other side to stop.
It's fine to say that, but it would be bad to just show the footage directly, since this thing records all sorts of details.
If I make a mistake in the details, I'll be in big trouble. Besides, Yukari Yakumo is a voyeur, and who knows what kind of privacy she might expose.
"Oh dear, it's a pity that we can't witness Brother Yang's heroic figure in battle due to the client's requirements."
Yakumo Yukari immediately closed the gap, leaving some curious people bewildered, but seeing Yang Xiying's somewhat nervous expression, they didn't intend to ask any further questions.
After all, the other side is in charge now, and it would be a loss if it affected their performance. Even if they are curious, they can just talk to Yakumo Yukari in private.
"Anyway, the matter of the other world is like this and that..." Yakumo Reimu and Marisa began to talk about the other world.
"...Now that you hear what I'm saying, it really is not much different from our world."
After hearing the general outline of the other world, Remilia couldn't help but speak up, saying that the world known as "JoJo" followed a similar historical trajectory to this one.
They just don't have monsters and gods like theirs, and the vampires with the same names as their race are all artificially created.
Besides these, there are those who use qigong like Yang Xiying, or those who have reached the limit of their skills and obtained a special ability called a stand-in.
"However, you have become much stronger. This must be because you have experienced a lot, such as fighting against strong opponents?"
—If there's no difference, it also means that there might be someone with considerable strength over there.
"...The words of the strong are nothing to us. We have only risen to this level because it is easier for us to comprehend the Heavenly Book."
Yukari Yakumo responded that they hadn't encountered any powerful enemies during that month and had dealt with them all quite easily.
Therefore, it is impossible for beings like Saiyans to break through to the brink of life and death.
"It's easier to comprehend the Heavenly Book?" Alice was somewhat concerned by Yakumo Yukari's words, and the other person responded with a slight smile.
"That's right, the biggest gain from our first other world wasn't finding any treasure there."
"Instead, I got used to the feeling of traveling to another world and enjoyed the benefits of teaming up with Brother Yang."
"If we do more chivalrous deeds, our thinking will become broader, and we will be able to quickly comprehend the celestial book or achieve results through our own cultivation."
"This is why Reimu has become so eager to learn. If we don't strike while the iron is hot, this state will soon disappear."
"Besides that, there are other benefits to teaming up, but I'll let Brother Yang tell you about them later."
—She was referring to Yang Xiying's mental palace.
"In short, this month we've basically been doing good deeds in that somewhat unsettling world, making a name for Gensokyo."
"Using the name of Gensokyo?" Yukari Yakumo's next sentence surprised everyone, since the existence of Gensokyo could not be exposed.
"Yes, as long as we use this name to do things, we can gather a lot of believers and collect the power of faith."
“In this way, our Gensokyo will also be strengthened,” said Yukari Yakumo, taking out a spell card, which immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Because it truly contains the power that others expect and trust, and I feel that I can accomplish anything by relying on it.
“If that’s the case, then Gensokyo’s future will be better,” Yuyuko Saigyouji replied with a smile.
"This is all thanks to Brother Yang," Yukari Yakumo said, now already thinking about how to thank him.
"—After all, he has gathered the most followers in Gensokyo."
“Oh? So Yang is also good at gathering believers? He’s getting more and more versatile,” Saigyouji Yuyuko couldn’t help but say.
The others were also somewhat surprised.
"Because Brother Yang really understands the preferences of all kinds of people, I'm ashamed to admit that his diplomatic skills are inferior to his."
Yukari Yakumo responded with a smile, admitting that her methods were indeed inferior, as the other party was able to accurately grasp others' preferences when giving gifts.
Then, sparring with them would inexplicably bring a sense of comfort. In short, those people seemed to be baptized as they supported Yang Xiying.
—She felt that if things continued like this, he could become king on his own.
"So, from now on, please let Brother Yang handle any diplomatic issues that Gensokyo may have. How about you act as the diplomatic ambassador?"
Yukari Yakumo smiled and looked towards Yang Xiying's direction. The gap connecting to the kitchen hadn't been closed yet, so the other side could hear.
"I feel quite busy," Yang Xiying said with a forced smile, though she did seem to have an easy way of winning people's favor.
—After all, the talent for reciprocity is somewhat extraordinary.
"Ha, we'll help with any difficulties you encounter, such as the unresolved problems in the world we're going to."
Their chivalrous deeds in the JOJO world came to an abrupt end, so they should at least go back once.
Whether to continue the activities or to stop them altogether, a reasonable explanation must be given, after all, the power of faith is not easily obtained.
"That's true. The operation to make Gensokyo famous needs to be explained, and there are still Pillar Men there who haven't been dealt with."
Yang Xiying responded directly.
"The Pillar Men?" the crowd asked in confusion.
"As we mentioned before, the vampires there are artificially created by wearing a device called the Stone Mask."
At this moment, Yukari Yakumo chimed in.
"The creators of this item are a race called the Dark Clan, a special kind of creature that once lived in that world."
"They can only live at night, and they will be destroyed if exposed to sunlight, so they live underground."
"They can survive for a long time by absorbing energy from other animals and plants, with an extremely low mortality rate."
"Their individual numbers are extremely small, which is why they have been able to survive peacefully. However, a genius was born in this race—Katz."
"In order to overcome his weakness of not being able to face the sun, he tapped into the potential within his own race and created the Stone Mask."
"For them, the Stone Mask is a tool to enhance their own strength, but in order to achieve this, the Stone Mask also needs to be strengthened."
"But for various reasons, they spent thousands of years trying to achieve it and fell into a deep sleep that lasted for thousands of years."
"But according to Brother Yang, they will awaken on their own in a few decades and continue to overcome their weaknesses."
"And having overcome their weaknesses, they will transform into ultimate beings, at which point the people of that world will live in misery."
"Kind-hearted Brother Yang can't bear to see such a thing happen, and doing nothing would contradict our current actions."
"Therefore, in order to stop this, we plan to obtain the item that can enhance the Stone Mask in advance."
“At this time, we still need your strength, Remilia, because that world emphasizes destiny, and disrupting what is predetermined may lead to something even worse.”
At this moment, Yukari Yakumo changed the subject.
PS: Second update.
NO.58 I want to merge with you!
"...Oh? Something even worse? You've experienced that?" Remilia raised an eyebrow when she heard Yakumo Yukari say that.
“No,” Yang Xiying shook her head in response from the kitchen, “This is actually just a conclusion I drew from reading books about that world.”
“I’ve already spoken to Zi Lingmeng and the others, and I’ll leave the explanation to her,” Yang Xiying said, continuing to busy herself in the kitchen.
"As we mentioned before, that world, like Gensokyo, has its related events and information recorded in books, which were then read by Brother Yang."
At this moment, Yukari Yakumo spoke.
"That's why we use JOJO to refer to that world, and Yang Xiaoge had that feeling because he saw a certain event in it."
"It was a story about a sculptor who had a stand-in called 'Rolling Stone,' a stone engraved with the word 'ominous.'"
"It will transform into the image of a person and then track that person. Once the tracking is successful, it can kill that person."
"It sounds like an ability to kill, but it's something that even the Stand user can't control."
"Because what drives this thing is fate, it will only take the shape of a dying person, and tracking it is just to euthanize it and thus avoid the more painful death that is coming."
"It's like a death omen," Saigyouji Yuyuko couldn't help but say upon hearing this, "So it can't be changed?"
—Her ability to bring death can be avoided as long as one is strong enough.
"Yes, the 'Rolling Stone' reflects the inevitable fate of death, which cannot be changed. Even if the stone is crushed or the Stand user is killed, it will be useless."
"In that incident, the rolling stone, which had become the companion of the dying man, tried his best to smash the stone, but it only turned into the face of three people."
"So after the stone was smashed, the number of people who died increased from one to three?" Alice suddenly realized the ending.
“That’s exactly what Brother Yang said,” Yakumo Yukari responded directly. “Then, the sculptor kept talking about fate.”
"—So there's a feeling that no matter what you do, fate can't be changed."
"I see. So it's a world that emphasizes fate? Then I can definitely go and see it, as a way of thanking you for helping Sakuya grow up."
"Just let me know when it's time to take action."
Hearing what Yukari Yakumo said, Remilia became thoughtful, after all, she possessed abilities related to fate.
It allows one to see the fate of things or lives, and based on this, one can avoid many bad things and even manipulate them.
"Thank you so much."
Yang Xiying responded when she had a free moment, saying that this way they would have multiple layers of protection in changing the course of events in the JOJO world.
Although he has done many things in the JOJO world that have changed the course of the world, nothing has happened so far, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
"I will inform Miss when the time comes."
He's not in a hurry to go now. The Pillar Men won't awaken for decades, so he can stay in Gensokyo for a decade or more before going to the JoJo world.
However, the reason he's not in a hurry to go is simply that he wants to rest and enjoy what he's gained in that world.
First is the Heavenly Book. Although it doesn't have any particularly unique moves besides Ripple Heaven, it can still significantly increase his base stats.
Secondly, there's money; Yang Xiying could go without worrying about food and clothing for several years. Thirdly, there are materials for crafting equipment and pills, such as ores, furs, and medicinal herbs.
Fourthly, there are martial arts points. During this period, his martial arts points have been increasing rapidly, although each time he earns less than the millions of points that suddenly appeared last time.
However, the amount is large, and the points accumulated now are enough to learn all the remaining secret manuals from the Martial God Statue and the manuals carried by him.
