Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

"Am I weird?"

"No, it's not strange at all. I vaguely feel that way."

Yakumo Yukari came out from the gap and stared at the blood well in front of her. In addition to fatigue, she seemed to feel some relief.

It seemed that she was not completely sure until she saw the general in person.

There was no other way. If she made a wrong judgment, it would be difficult for her to escape from the guy who caused such a big scene.

So even though she thought it was most likely that they were all gods and generals, she was still prepared to close the gap and run away at any time.

"But I'm a little surprised that you're interested in that guy over there."

Kaishinshoin refers to the monster that was in Kyoto with Yakumo Yukari during the blood mist.

"At first, we only got close because of the diary, but after actually communicating, I found that he was actually a very interesting guy."

"Diary? Oh, it seems like there really was such a thing... Hmm? Wait, something seems a little off."

When Yakumo Yukari mentioned the diary, Kaishin Shōomi remembered that he seemed to have seen a diary before.

The problem is that although many of the things he did today correspond to what was in his diary, there were many subtle differences.

The most important thing is that the one who conquered the world here was Oda Nobunaga, and he established the Oda shogunate.

In his original timeline, the one who won in the Warring States Period was Tokugawa Ieyasu, who survived to the end and came out to reap the rewards after most of the others had died.

"A parallel world? Or what will happen next... It's hard to tell."

All the gods and generals always feel that this is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

If he wants something in the future to happen, he can do something before the future actually arrives to form a closed loop.

"A diary or something like that is just a record of the author's personal feelings. It's normal that it's inconsistent with reality."

“…………That’s true.”

After being reminded by Yakumo Shiichi, Kaishenjiangchen finally reacted.

What happens in reality and what is observed may be two different things if you change your perspective.

Especially since the person who recorded what happened at that time was an ordinary person.

Chapter 320 You Have Been Strengthened

"I'm more concerned about what this well is than that kind of thing."

The closed loop of time, the cycle of cause and effect, and other mysterious things may make people feel that there are dangers and difficulties when they think about them.

But if you don't care about this kind of thing, you will feel that it is not more important than what you eat today.

Since we are already living in the present moment, there is no point in thinking about things that have already happened.

After all, if a time loop really exists, then no matter what you do, it is part of this cycle.

In this case, it is much more reasonable to follow your own heart, do what you want to do, and consider what to eat today rather than considering all those twists and turns.

"A collection of those monsters in Kyoto... or something like that?"

All the gods answered with some uncertainty.

The main thing is that this well is the result of him piling all the dissolved monsters together.

Although the main body at the beginning was Yuyuko, after integrating so many Kyoto monsters into one, he had no way of determining what this thing was.

"Is it okay to leave this near human settlements?"

The reason why Yakumo Yukari came here, besides thinking that the person who caused this scene might be Kaishinjo, was more importantly because of this blood well.

Even in the blood mist environment that covered the sky and the sun, she sensed the abnormal flow in the blood mist.

The fact that she could sense something was wrong in that environment shows how frequent this abnormal flow is.

In the final analysis, Yakumo Yukari found the blood well in front of her.

Although she believed that the gods and generals would definitely not do anything to harm the humans nearby.

But this blood well that is filled with countless monsters cannot be left here easily.

"Well, mainly because I don't want to put it in Gensokyo."

Although he could have chosen to digest it directly, because of the blood well created before the blood mist, the generals of all gods thought it would be better to stack those things up.

But in fact, after the stacking is completed, how to deal with this blood well, which has become quite ominous, is indeed a problem.

The main thing is that it feels a bit wasteful to absorb and transform it now.

After all, so many of them have been stacked up to form something like a wonder. It would not feel right to dismantle them and decompose them into raw materials again.

"But it would be even more wrong to leave it here."

Yakumo Yukari glanced to the side. Although it was a bit far away, she could see the burnt remains of Honnoji Temple in the distance from the blood well, and a corner of Kyoto city further away.

If we do nothing and leave the blood well here, it will definitely be discovered by the humans around at such a close distance.

No matter what those people do to this blood well, something bad will definitely happen.

"So you want to take it?"

"…………What's the meaning?"

Yakumo Yukari was stunned by what Kaishin Shōomi said. She didn't understand what the other party meant by "taking away" for a moment.

"That space of yours can hold a lot of things, right? If that's the case..."

"Wait, wait, don't put anything in there!"

Before Yakumo Yukari could react, she saw Kaishen Jiangchen stretch out his arm.

Somehow he picked up the blood well.

It was obviously strange to hold such a big well with the size of the other person's palm, but it was like some kind of visual dislocation, with the effect of things appearing bigger when closer and smaller when farther away. To Yakumo Yukari, the well seemed to be held in the hand of Kaishin Shōomi and placed in the gap she opened.

This moment made Yakumo Yukari panic. After all, the gap was her livelihood and there could not be any mistakes.

With such a big blood well inside, it seems like something bad will happen anyway.

"Eh, it seems... not that bad?"

However, after the blood well was actually placed in the gap, Yakumo Yukari found that the reality was not quite what she had imagined.

No one knew what the gods and generals had done, but the blood well placed in the gap seemed to be completely fixed, as if it had become a part of her gap.

Becoming a part is not a metaphor, but Yakumo Yukari's real feeling.

She found that she could control the power contained in the blood well to a certain extent, just like she could control the gap.

"Of course, I can't let you in without any safety measures... Try it and see if you need to make any changes."

"Then... give it a try."

Since she can control the blood well and use its power for her own benefit, Yakumo Yukari is not so averse anymore.

She made a casual stroke, using the gap as usual, while releasing a little of the power of the blood well.

"Woo!!!"

Accompanied by a sound similar to a train whistle, a thing made of blood and that looked like the outline of a train quickly emerged from the gap.

A long section of woods in front of the gap was flattened to form a conspicuous flat area.

"Train? Why did it come out as a train?"

Looking at the blood-red train pouring out from the gap, Yakumo Yukari seemed quite surprised.

She seemed to have never expected that the thing that came out of the blood well would be a train. After all, trains were not a product of this era.

"It has nothing to do with what's inside. What comes out depends on your own needs... Maybe you thought of the train when you opened the gap."

Although the amount of things in the blood well is huge, in essence it is just an indeterminate substance left by the gods and generals who dissolved a bunch of monsters.

After transferring the control of the Blood Well to Yakumo Yukari, what comes out depends entirely on the other party's personal needs.

"But this train is so weird, and it's made entirely of blood."

"Then let's work hard to make the train look better. It shouldn't be hard to do if we work hard."

"The key point isn't here... Oh, never mind. This is the solution."

Although Yakumo Yukari complained a few words, she soon realized that the blood well here had indeed disappeared.

Although the process was very different from what she expected, the result was not bad.

'Brush' 'Brush' 'Brush'

Just as the two were chatting, the sound of people walking began to be heard in the woods not far away.

"Your friend is here to see you."

Kaishin Shōchen took a look and found that the person coming out of the woods was the Nurarihyon who had a good relationship with Yakumo Yukari.

I just don't know whether the other party came to find Yakumo Yukari or was attracted by the blood well like Yakumo Yukari.

"They are probably not here to find me. They are here to find the end of the blood surge just like me."

Yakumo Yukari thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that the current situation was not suitable for meeting the other party. She shook her head and disappeared into the gap.

Kaishin Shōomi was not very interested in Nura: Oni, and after Yakumo Yukari left, he also left and returned to Gensokyo.

Chapter 321 Old Woman

"I don't know why, but lately I keep dreaming about things from the past, Ren-chan from the flower shop, Taro from the fabric shop..."

Inside the fragrant flower shop, a pale old woman sat on a recliner that looked who knows how many years old, saying something with hazy eyes.

"........."

Youxiang sat in her chair, watering the plants by the window as usual, and didn't pay attention to what the old woman behind her said.

"Recently, people in the village have been saying that the All-God has taken away death, and we will no longer die."

The old woman didn't care about Youxiang's indifference. She was used to it. She would be surprised if Youxiang showed enthusiasm.

"That's not good, it's not as short-lived as before."

Youxiang spoke, but didn't turn around.

She could see that the old woman seemed quite distressed recently, but she didn't quite understand and could not comprehend what the old woman was distressed about.

"In Miss Youxiang's opinion, we humans have short lives, but I feel that I have lived for a long, long time... Before, I thought I could see my companions who had passed away, but I didn't expect that even my death god would leave me."

It's not like the old woman didn't understand everything.

At least on that day, he deeply felt that his death was approaching, so he came to say goodbye to Youxiang.

Especially the 'acquaintance' she met that day. Thinking back on it, the old woman realized that she had never seen the red-haired woman before.

But at that time, she did treat the other person as a friend she had known for many years.

What happened next was even more difficult for the old woman to understand.

Did the whole god take away the death of Gensokyo?

The young man's words made it impossible for the old woman to understand.

However, obvious anomalies did occur.

You know, the old lady is very old, and her friends of the same age have passed away many years ago.

She has persisted to this age and still has many age-related illnesses.

Back pain and general weakness are not a big deal. The problem is that the aging of her organs and her difficulty in moving her body cause her to have trouble remembering things and often cannot recall what she just did.

A simple action for ordinary people can be quite strenuous for the elderly.

But the old woman has gotten used to it. After all, the aging of the body accumulates bit by bit and changes gradually with age.

However, when the old woman woke up that day and did not feel as tired as usual, she knew that something was different.

Although there is not much difference in appearance, whether it is walking, talking, exercising, or even thinking.

The old woman found that she no longer felt the same as before, and her physical functions seemed to have returned to her twenties, when she was the healthiest.

For an old woman who was about to die, her surprise was unimaginable to those who had not experienced it.
